I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 535 Sleep and the Psychic

Upon seeing the overwhelming, terrifying aura emanating from the basement—the commotion caused by Erin dealing with the spoils seized from the demons—the dwarves breathed a sigh of relief.

After determining that Erin did not need their help.

Baiyan waved to the dwarves, signaling them to sit down again and begin to feast.

Fueled by alcohol and delicious food, the lobby on the first floor quickly became lively again.

However, upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that, compared to their previous unrestrained drinking, both the dwarf elder Baiyan and the powerful master craftsmen are now subconsciously paying attention to the basement beneath their feet while drinking.

Their intense focus and bulging muscles clearly indicated that they were ready for battle at any moment.

but.

Just as Erin said, they don't need to worry about any of this.

Time flows slowly.

In just a few minutes, all the extremely evil souls flying around the sky poured into the little monster's body.

However, these three thousand extremely evil souls, which even Mephisto coveted, were clearly not something that the current monsters could digest in a short time.

After devouring three thousand extremely evil souls, the little monster lay down in the center of the energy pool and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the little monster lying in the center of the empty energy pool, its body twitching and trembling from time to time, appearing to be in some pain, a look of solemnity flashed across Erin's face.

"Did it deliberately fall into slumber to better absorb the power of these extremely evil spirits?"

Frowning, Erin approached the little monster and carefully observed it for a while, confirming that the little monster was not in any immediate danger.

In an instant, his body flashed, and through that mysterious connection, he quickly teleported to the Balance Space.

He quickly went to the long table where he had manifested himself, and then picked up the quill pen that he had just put down.

Erin immediately began to write down the divination results on a page of spiritual paper.

Is there any danger after the monster falls into a deep sleep?

After quickly writing down the divination words, Erin immediately took out the pendulum he had just used for the divination.

After silently repeating it seven times in your mind.

Erin released his left hand, and then his suddenly deep eyes stared intently at the pendulum in front of him.

The pendulum, suspended in mid-air, began to rotate slightly, turning counterclockwise.

After receiving a negative answer, Erin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then he took out another piece of spiritual paper and wrote down new divination words at the door.

"After falling into a deep sleep, can the little monster awaken within a short time?"

Repeat the mantra seven times silently, then begin the divination.

Soon, Erin received another negative answer from the pendulum divination.

"Can't the little monsters wake up quickly?"

"In that case, it seems I need to speed up the progress of the Sokovia castle project as soon as possible."

With the little monster now asleep, the renovations to the Mysterious House will obviously have to be put on hold for a while.

otherwise.

Without the help of the monsters to adjust, even a dwarf master like Baiyan would need a lot of time and effort to break through and smash down a wall in the Mysterious House.

Not to mention, the underground entrance to the lobby on the first floor was blocked by monsters.

In this situation, it would be troublesome for Elder Baiyan and the dwarves to get down.

However, although he could no longer continue to modify the magic fortress, Erin did not intend to waste the dwarves' precious time.

Since the magic castle can't be modified for the time being, let's modify the war fortress instead.

Of course, before that, he had to completely resolve the remaining issues of the Sokovia castle.

·······

After continuing to guard the monster for a while and confirming that it was in a relatively stable condition,

Erin then placed an ever-burning lamp, capable of burning for years, next to the little monster.

After confirming that he could return to the basement sealed off by the monsters using this method, Erin leaped directly into the first-floor lobby using the flames that kept rising from it.

They told Elder Baiyan about what had happened to Xiaoguai and that they might have to change their work environment sooner rather than later.

Erin then flashed away.

They then disappeared into the night of Chinatown.

·······

A few hours later.

As the hazy sky gradually brightened.

In a private villa outside Washington, Duke slowly woke up from his sleep, alerted by his biological clock.

However, before he could fully open his eyes, a blurry figure sitting by his bedside, quietly flipping through something, startled him awake.

There's someone next to my bed.

To ensure his safety, Duke doesn't live alone in this villa.

In addition to a comprehensive personal security system, the villa is also guarded by four elite warriors originally selected from Hydra.

Even under these circumstances, someone still managed to sneak up to the bedside without anyone noticing.

This situation instantly sent a chill down Duke's spine.

Just as Duke's right hand slowly reached under the pillow, intending to pick up the pistol he used for self-defense...

A familiar voice rang in his ears, causing his tense nerves to relax quickly.

"woke up?"

I looked in the direction of that familiar voice.

Sure enough, the blurry figure in front of him was none other than Erin, who was flipping through a document.

Upon seeing Erin, Duke subtly released his right hand from the pistol he had been touching, then asked somewhat awkwardly:

"My lord, what brings you here?"

"I'm bringing you something, and I also need to talk to you about something."

After saying that, Erin looked at Duke, who was sitting on the bed looking a little embarrassed, pointed to the documents in his hand, and then said calmly, "Let me take a look at the documents first. You should go and wash up first."

A few minutes later.

Duke quickly washed up, changed into a white shirt, and walked up to Erin with two cups of coffee.

"The Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee that was just delivered last month has a rich and full-bodied flavor; adults can try it."

"Thanks!"

After taking a sip of the coffee Duke offered, Erin's eyes lit up.

This coffee tastes really good; it's smooth, rich, and has a long finish.

After taking a sip of coffee.

After putting down her coffee, Erin said to Duke, "Very good coffee."

"If the adults like, they can take a few cans of coffee beans with them when they leave. It's nice to have a cup every day to keep them awake."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

After chuckling and moving on from the topic, Erin turned to Duke and said, "The box on your bedside table contains the starting potion for the Death Path, Sequence Nine—[Corpse Collector]."

"Get ready, I'll help you take this potion in a moment, and then you'll truly step into the extraordinary realm."

Upon hearing that the extraordinary potion he had been dreaming of was in the wooden box placed by his bedside, Duke's slightly cloudy eyes flashed with barely suppressed excitement.

However, Duke quickly suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice, "I haven't finished dealing with the Sokovia matter yet, this extraordinary potion..."

Before Duke could finish speaking, Erin interrupted by waving the document in his hand, saying, "I've seen your efforts, and besides, isn't that castle now ours? Of course, you'll have to hurry up and finish off the remaining loose ends."

Seeing the smile on Erin's face, Duke also smiled.

After silently deciding in his heart to deal with the tail end of Sokovia Castle as quickly as possible.

Duke stopped hesitating and asked directly, "So, what should I do next?"

Erin pointed to the small wooden box on Duke's bedside table and said, "Take the [Corpse Collector] potion inside, drink it, and you can advance to the transcendent."

"Of course, after drinking the potion, do not lose yourself in its whispers, do not lose yourself in its power and become a monster who has lost his self."

Upon hearing this, a strong sense of confidence suddenly shone in Duke's eyes.

"Don't worry, sir, I will not be defeated."

talking.

Duke then picked up the [Corpse Collector] potion from the wooden box, opened the lid, and drank it down.

Given Duke's willpower, there shouldn't be any problems with him taking the Sequence Nine potion, which is at the beginning of the sequence.

After quickly taking the potion and becoming a [Corpse Collector], Duke regained consciousness.

Seeing Erin guarding him, Duke opened his eyes again and said excitedly, "My lord, I succeeded."

······

After Duke became familiar with the abilities of the [Corpse Collector], Erin guided him to master other general abilities such as [Spirit Vision].

He also told Duke about the "acting method" that could quickly digest the potion.

"The role-playing method—by impersonating a real corpse collector, can one quickly digest and master the extraordinary powers granted by the potion?"

"If that's the case, would it speed up my digestion of potions if I took on a part-time job as a corpse collector?"

Duke, being a high-ranking agent himself, quickly accepted this premise and devised several feasible ways to expedite his digestion of the magic belt.

Erin: "A part-time corpse collector? That's certainly a good idea."

At this point, Erin seemed to remember something, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said, "By the way, you now have a chance to collect the corpse."

"Um?"

Seeing Duke's slightly puzzled look, Erin picked up the document in his hand and said coldly, "Some of the bodyguards in your villa have been replaced. The guy guarding the gate of your villa now is a Skrull. He was probably sent by Nick Fury to monitor you, or even to replace you."

Skuru people.

Upon hearing this, Duke, who had just been promoted to a superhuman, immediately turned pale.

Of course he knew who the Skrulls were.

After Erin revealed the existence of the Skrulls, Duke made a special effort to learn more about them.

It was precisely because of this that he understood even more clearly how terrifying this race was.

In particular, the other party had replaced one of his personal bodyguards without him noticing, and neither he nor anyone else in the villa had noticed until now.

Duke felt a chill run down his spine.

If Lord Erin hadn't happened to come and deliver potions to me and discovered the other person, would I have been replaced without anyone noticing one day?

After taking a deep breath, a cold glint flashed in Duka's eyes.

However, he didn't immediately rush down to deal with the Skrull who might have come to replace him. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Sending Skrulls to monitor me directly, and even wanting to replace me, it seems that after the Skrulls were exposed, Nick Fury has already begun planning a violent takeover of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Upon hearing this, Erin asked thoughtfully, "A violent takeover of S.H.I.E.L.D.? It seems Nick Fury is in a very bad situation right now."

"After the Skrulls were exposed, the higher a person's position, the more wary they became of these guys. After all, no one wants to be killed by someone who then uses their face to enjoy their women and the wealth they've worked so hard to accumulate."

"So shortly after the Skrulls were exposed, the World Security Council planned to talk to Nick Fury, but he simply disappeared, which made the World Security Council even more uneasy."

"If it weren't for the fact that Nick Fury's backers on the UN Security Council haven't compromised yet, Nick Fury would probably have been removed from his position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. again."

At this point, Duke shook his head: "After Nick Fury disappeared, the World Security Council asked me to investigate his dealings with the Skrulls. Now it seems he's getting a little impatient."

It turned out to be the case.

After nodding, Erin took out the blood analyzer that Tony had given him earlier from his spatial ring and tossed it to Duke.

"This is a blood analyzer that Tony Stark and the military put together. It can distinguish between human and Skrull blood. Nick Fury's panic is probably also related to this device."

The bodyguard who was replaced;

Blood analyzer;

Skrulls;

Upon hearing about the effects of the blood analyzer, Duke had a sudden inspiration.

Duke, who had initially only planned to collect the body of the Skrull who had replaced the villa's bodyguard, immediately changed his mind.

"The blood analyzer... if this thing is really as useful as Tony Stark says, then this Skrull can't be 'wasting' it like this. I have an idea; we can use this to force the UN Security Council to make a final decision..."

"Heh, even I, Nick Fury, the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., dared to send Skrulls to infiltrate my inner circle, even attempting to replace me. So what about the others?"

"Could it be that Nick Fury has already sent people to their side, or even replaced them altogether?"

"If that's the case, then what is Nick Fury planning to do next...?"

"Replace us and take complete control of S.H.I.E.L.D., or go further and replace them to control the entire world?"

After hearing Duke's idea, Erin's lips curled into a playful smile. "Since you want to do it this way, then I'll give you another hand."
