I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 497

"die?"

"hehe."

With a self-deprecating sneer.

The aura of death that had been faintly surrounding Erin was completely drawn into his body with a single breath.

They never revealed the slightest detail again.

From this moment on, unless Erin actively releases that aura, even a death goddess like Hela will not be able to easily see Erin's talent known as the Child of Death.

And then Erin fully mastered the talent of [Son of Death - Pseudo].

The Netherworld Contract that had been floating within Erin's soul suddenly appeared before Erin, then transformed into countless black specks of light and disappeared before him.

at the same time.

Suddenly, the Underworld contract that Hela had signed with Erin also appeared before Hela in the Underworld.

next second.

This contract with the underworld, just like the one before Erin, transformed into billions of black specks of light and returned to the origin of the underworld.

"The contract I made with Erin has been fulfilled? So that means that guy has completely mastered his talent."

After a slight pause, Hela's face immediately revealed an extremely aggressive smile: "Such talent, truly worthy of being the prince I chose."

"Since you're so tempting, I'd better hurry up."

After the laughter subsided.

An endless aura of death erupted around Hela, engulfing everything in all directions.

·······

After gathering all the invisible aura of death that had been surrounding him into his body, he...

Erin then turned and left the coffee shop.

Although the sudden message from the [Scales of Fate] and the indescribable images shocked him to the point of near loss of control.

But after the initial shock...

Erin immediately restrained his spirituality and calmed his flesh and blood spirituality, which had begun to spiral out of control.

but.

Although the deformities on his body have been corrected.

But the ripples this incident stirred in Erin's heart lingered for a long time.

After leaving Columbia University.

Erin was driving.

Wandering aimlessly through the streets of New York.

Although several months have passed since the Battle of New York, many traces of that battle still remain in the world's leading metropolis.

Construction sites are frequently seen throughout the streets and alleys of New York.

Looking down from the sky, it looks like New York has been patched up with green patches.

Looking at the buildings under reconstruction and the busy crowds on the streets, Erin suddenly remembered the abomination that had descended a few months ago because of the blood sacrifice.

That divine abomination had nothing to do with the Scales of Fate, but even though it wasn't related to the Scales of Fate's corruption, it still appeared.

Therefore, even without myself and without the influence of the "Scales of Fate," this world would no longer be the Marvel Cinematic Universe I was familiar with.

Moreover, if it weren't for him, New York might have been destroyed by that abomination long ago.

Thinking of this, the ripples in Ailin's heart calmed down considerably.

Believers in evil gods, divine abominations, and that indescribable evil god...

What is going on in this world?

Just as Erin was lost in thought, his mind wandering.

Erin's phone suddenly flashed a few times, and then a small girl's image was projected from Erin's phone, silently taking over the driver's task.

After quickly devising the most scenic route based on a map of New York, they...

Luo then led Erin on a aimless stroll along New York's most beautiful scenic route.

······

Just as Erin drove the car to the banks of the Hudson River.

A red sports car sped up beside Erin and honked its horn a few times!

A somewhat dazed Erin was startled awake by the sound of the horn.

Turning his head slightly, he saw Natasha in the red sports car driving alongside him, her window rolled down, smiling and gesturing for him to pull over.

Ok?

Natasha, what does she want from me?

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

Out of consideration for their past relationship, Erin gave Natasha a chance to speak.

After finding a suitable spot to get out of the car by the roadside, Erin tapped a few times on her phone, and "Lo" drove Erin's new car to the nearest parking lot.

"cool!"

Natasha, who had just been driving that dark red sports car, accelerated and drifted before abruptly stopping opposite Erin, saw the driverless car and gestured to Erin before asking, "Could you help me park? You know it's not easy to find a suitable parking spot in a place like this."

Hearing this, Erin chuckled and said, "You even know Luo's name so well, it seems you came prepared! But you might be disappointed this time."

The reason Luo was able to control and drive Erin's car was entirely because when Fregra bought the car, he had some accessories installed on it, which enabled it to achieve the effect of being unmanned.

Natasha's dark red sports car didn't have those accessories.

So even if Natasha was envious, she could only watch as Lo drove Erin's car away.

After scanning around.

Erin pointed to a coffee shop on the banks of the Hudson River not far away and said, "Let's go sit over there and talk about what you wanted to see me about."

Natasha is the kind of person who only visits when she needs something.

Erin didn't believe that she had come to see him just to catch up or something.

······

After each ordering a coffee...

After finding a seat and stirring the freshly brewed coffee the waiter had just brought him, Erin looked at Natasha and said, "So, what did you want to see me about?"

After gently adding a few sugar cubes to her coffee and stirring it, Natasha picked up her cup and took a satisfied sip.

Then he looked at Erin and said, "Not long ago, Steve submitted his resignation to Nick Fury and left S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury returned with a mission, and it had only just begun. How could Nick Fury sit idly by when the Captain, this big shot, left S.H.I.E.L.D.? So he directly gave me a mission, asking me to come to your place and find out what's going on."

Having just taken over the mission from Nick Fury, Natasha made no attempt to hide her true intentions, instead betraying Nick Fury completely.

Hearing this, Erin raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you coming to me instead of Steve for resigning? It's not like I told him to resign. Besides, if he really didn't want Steve to leave, he could have just disagreed, couldn't he?"

Natasha laughed and said, "Fury can't control Steve. In fact, Steve has always belonged to the Federation military. It's just that the seventy years he's been out of touch with the world have made it impossible for the Captain to find his place in the Federation military. In addition, there's the favor that Nick Fury did for him, so the Captain has been staying at S.H.I.E.L.D. for the past few months."

"Furthermore, Steve played a significant role in Fury's return, so he can't and shouldn't stop Steve's decision."

Hearing this, Erin said calmly, "So, unable to persuade Steve, Nick Fury sent you to me? Heh, is it because I was too easy to talk to in the past, giving him some kind of illusion? Or does he think that I and Miracle Corporation are at his mercy?"

Although Erin's tone was flat, it showed absolutely no politeness.

Moreover, Natasha keenly sensed the distance and...coldness in Erin's tone.

Natasha's heart tightened instantly, and she immediately raised her hands and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Nick Fury is Nick Fury, and I am me. You can't take your anger out on me just because he's targeting Miracle Corporation."

Natasha pointed to the coffee in Erin's hand and emphasized, "I paid for your coffee, didn't I? Besides, we're comrades-in-arms, and I'm on your and the captain's side."

Upon hearing this, Erin glanced at Natasha and said, "Since you're on my side, why are you spying for Nick Fury?"

"I did come here on a mission to gather intelligence, but you didn't have to say it!"

After replying confidently, Natasha added, "I didn't ask you to answer anything! Can't you just treat me like an old friend, chatting with you?"

At this point, Natasha glanced at the young girl not far away who seemed to be taking pictures of the two of them with her phone, and then teased Erin, "Or are you worried that someone will take a picture of you on a date with a beautiful woman and post it online, and then your girlfriend will find out?"

Hearing this, Erin looked up at Natasha, who was radiating mature charm, and smiled, "Don't worry, I've told Gwen your real age, so she won't be jealous. She knows I don't like old people."

As he spoke, Erin mouthed two special numbers in front of Natasha.

I don't like old people!

Old man!

Adding to the two numbers Erin gestured, Natasha's smile froze on her face, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "How did you know?"

As is widely known, due to a special gene-enhancing drug, Natasha is much older than people think.

Therefore, Natasha's true age has always been a taboo subject.

Natasha hid this very well; even Nick Fury didn't know her real age.

But unexpectedly, her long-hidden secret was exposed by Erin in a single sentence.

Erin shrugged upon hearing this. "As a fortune teller, it's not surprising that he knows a bit more."

After saying that, Erin glanced in the direction Natasha had just been looking.

As Erin's gaze swept across the crowd, his mental field instantly enveloped the surrounding people.

Those who made eye contact with Erin, after just one glance, a hint of confusion flashed in their eyes, and then they all simultaneously deleted the photos they had just taken.

Even memories became blurred at this moment.

Not long after.

These people then returned to "normal," but at this moment they no longer glanced at Erin and Natasha, as if they had forgotten their existence, and went about their own business.

Although she was seething with anger at Erin's words, Natasha keenly noticed the changes that occurred around her after Erin's glance.

What kind of ability is this...?

Seeing the bizarre scene around her, Natasha realized the terrifying impact of Erin's glance earlier, and her heart skipped a beat.

If Erin were to use this ability at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the entire agency would probably fall instantly.

Thinking of this, Natasha felt a strong sense of powerlessness and... dissatisfaction with Nick Fury.

Based on the relationship they had established before, even if they couldn't bring Erin into S.H.I.E.L.D., they still had a good relationship with Erin.

Thanks to these connections, S.H.I.E.L.D. had previously obtained a lot of useful information from Erin.

But now.

In order to secure his position as bureau chief.

In order to gain the support of the world's countries that make up the Security Council.

After returning to S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury immediately set his sights on the Miracle Drug from the Miracle Corporation.

While openly exerting pressure on the Miracle Group, they also arranged for numerous agents to infiltrate the group and steal its core secrets.

This, however, led to a rapid breakdown in their relationship with the Miracle Group.

Even Steve got into a big fight with Nick Fury because of this.

He supported Nick Fury's return, not because he wanted to see this happen.

However, it was clear that Nick Fury had his own ideas, so he ended up parting ways with the captain on bad terms.

In fact, these factors may have played a role in Steve's eventual departure from S.H.I.E.L.D. to apply for a job at Miracle Corporation.

Although the captain didn't say it, Natasha guessed some of it.

And now.

Following the captaincy, another consequence of Nick Fury's headstrong behavior has begun to emerge.

Because of his previous actions against Miracle Corporation, he has also created a powerful enemy for himself and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Before Erin returned, that feeling wasn't very obvious.

But after Erin's return, Nick Fury immediately felt pressure from all over the world.

This is one of the reasons why he sent Natasha to test Erin.

but.

After witnessing that bizarre scene, Natasha no longer had any intention of probing.

Previously, Erin was suspected of possessing powerful hypnotic or psychic abilities.

And now.

His abilities have clearly improved.

Natasha wasn't hypnotized into being a marionette.

In the end, Natasha couldn't help but deeply doubt whether Nick Fury's decision to target Miracle Corporation in order to appease the major powers on the Security Council was actually the right one.

If it weren't for his manipulation, Erin would still be a friend of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As Natasha pondered, her thoughts wandered, and even her eyes unconsciously became unfocused.
