I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 549

Becques Riverbank.

A farm located on the outskirts of a small town.

After struggling to resist the seductive voice that echoed in his mind again, Nick Fury asked the person beside him, "How are things now?"

Beside Nick Fury, a man in a white coat said in a deep voice, "The Heart Demon and the Kamar-Taj mages that just disappeared have reappeared on the energy detector, and two of the energy clusters are rapidly approaching us, one after the other."

"According to calculations, if their speed remains constant, they will reach the top of the farm in one minute and thirty seconds."

Two energy clusters?

Combined with the voice that suddenly rang in my mind just now.

If I'm not mistaken, the first of those two energy orbs should belong to the Witchheart Demon, while the other, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the one that lured the Witchheart Demon to contact me, causing me to flee in a sorry state.

Ha ha!

By diverting the trouble to his side, that guy Wu Xinmo wouldn't think that Ailin was his enemy.

I'll help him myself!

He gave a cold laugh.

Nick Fury asked again, "Is everything 'ready'?"

The man in the white coat next to Nick Fury nodded: "The clones we've genetically engineered are all ready to go. Although these clones have huge flaws, like vegetable bodies unable to think or move, they'll be enough to cover for us in the aftermath of the explosion..."

"Next, we await your order, and the tail-cutting plan can begin."

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury said, "In that case, let's officially begin Project Gecko!"

"yes!"

After responding, the man in the white coat immediately made a gesture to the others around him.

After receiving the order.

The agents who were still busy around immediately put down their work and, in an orderly manner, followed the original plan to quickly retreat through a hidden passage to an underground air-raid shelter beneath the farm.

After glancing in the direction from which Mephisto had flown, Nick Fury murmured, "Thinking he can bewitch and control me with just a few words? Are all demons of hell this arrogant?"

"But this is fine too. Sending you, this arrogant madman, back to hell will make my death more real."

"To perish together with the son of a mythical duke of hell is a way of giving my identity some closure."

"Of course, it would be even better if we could take care of that guy as well."

The thought of Erin caused Nick Fury's face to visibly darken.

If it weren't for him, the Skrulls' secret would never have been exposed.

I wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.

snort!

After scoffing, Nick Fury turned around and glanced at the other unconscious "himself" in the makeshift command room set up in a tent.

Goodbye, Nick Fury!

As if saying goodbye to his clone, or as if saying goodbye to the identity of Nick Fury, Nick Fury said something and then pressed a red button without hesitation, before rushing towards the secret passage leading directly to the underground air-raid shelter beneath the farm.

The instant Nick Fury pressed the launch button.

The roof of a warehouse on the farm suddenly split open, and several cruise missiles that had already locked onto their targets ignited instantly and streaked across the sky.

·······

On the other side...

Gandalf and the others also finished chanting the last incantation of the Blood Curse.

"...The Crimson Sword..."

"...Approaching!"

As an ancient and vast will swept across.

The three crimson swords, exuding an ominous aura, transformed into three crimson streaks of light in an instant after merging with the flesh and soul of Gandalf and his companions, and soared into the sky.

at the same time.

The moment two high-yield cruise missiles and three Crimson Swords locked onto him and hurtled towards him through the air.

Sensing the two extreme threats coming from the front and back, a smile suddenly flashed across Mephisto's lips.

"A threat of this magnitude? It seems that mortal really went to great lengths to kill us!"

What Nick Fury didn't know was...

Whether it was the Witchheart or Mephisto, they never truly expected Nick Fury to cooperate with them.

The reason they manipulated Nick Fury was simply to place a pawn at any time, and then, at a specific moment, use Nick Fury's identity to do something.

Now, Nick Fury's ability to launch two incredibly powerful cruise missiles is already beyond Morpheus's expectations.

Whether Nick Fury wanted to deal with Erin behind him or take care of himself as well, it didn't matter.

And so on, whether they achieve merit and return to the pinnacle of power.

Murphytos didn't care about any of that; what he cared about was that Nick Fury had perfectly fulfilled his expectations.

Mephistos's purpose in breaking through the Mirror Dimension to escape and even contacting Nick Fury was nothing more than to increase his chances of killing Arlin.

With the help of two incredibly powerful cruise missiles, achieving this goal should be much easier for him.

······

Behind Mephistopheles.

While chasing Mephistos and occasionally inflicting minor damage on him with the [Dragon Slayer], Erin suddenly felt a shadow of death sweeping over him like a tidal wave.

As if a giant hand of death had suddenly gripped his heart, Erin's face turned deathly pale.

An unprecedented sense of impending death caused Erin, who was traveling at breakneck speed, to abruptly stop flying.

"Danger."

Under the threat of death, Erin did not hesitate to abandon the idea of ​​pursuing Mephistos and turned around to retreat at high speed.

but.

Before he could even take a few steps back...

Suddenly, several wisps of pitch-black mist appeared out of thin air around him.

In an instant, the several wisps of pitch-black mist condensed into the figures of several old men holding skull canes.

These old men wielding skull canes were not Mephisto's avatars, but simply energy forms. It was precisely for this reason that Erin, whose gaze was firmly fixed on the other party's spiritual threads, did not notice these hidden tricks left by Mephisto.

Since Mephistos was able to leave these energy trails on his escape route, would this be all he has up his sleeve?

Thinking of this, Erin's heart sank.

next second.

Wisps of eternal fire surged rapidly from the Ring of Vulcan, then coalesced in Erin's hand into a fireball shimmering with a pale blue glow.

Under Erin's [Flame Control], the ball of eternal fire transformed into a lifelike sky-blue fire phoenix.

"Hey!"

With a phoenix cry, the fire phoenix that flew out of Ailin's palm rapidly grew larger, transforming in an instant into a giant fire phoenix over ten meters in size.

"go!"

Under Erin's control, the fire phoenix flapped its wings and charged straight at "Morpheus," who was blocking Erin's retreat!

Under the sweep of the eternal fire.

The clone of Mephisto, formed from a mass of fear, resisted for a mere second before being incinerated into ashes by the raging phoenix of flames.

After the Fire Phoenix broke through Mephisto's encirclement, Erin had a thought and quickly jumped out of Mephisto's encirclement using [Flame Leap].

This caused the pincer attack by the two "Morpheus" to fail.

Arlin, who had leaped dozens of meters away from Mephisto's encirclement using Flame Leap, was about to activate [Flame Leap Energy] again when he suddenly froze in place.

At the same time, a slightly weathered voice quickly reached Erin's ears.

"The Holy Light Scepter, which seals away a vast source of holy light; a peculiar weapon wreathed in the wails of countless dragon souls and the aura of dragon's wrath; plus the Eternal Flame—you certainly have quite a few good things on you!"

"No wonder that guy, Wu Xinmo, was clearly stronger than you, yet you defeated him time and time again... I see."

Suddenly, Mephistos, who should have been running away ahead, materialized into a demonic form and appeared beside Erin.

After shaking his head, Mephisto looked at Erin with eyes as deep as an abyss and sighed:

"With so many treasures, why would they run away so decisively? Did they sense danger?"

"That's incredibly keen perception!"

"Such keen perception, coupled with a soul as brilliant and powerful as a galaxy—it's truly alluring!"

"If it weren't for you constantly going against me, I would really like to train you to be my assistant..."

Almost the instant Mephisto appeared, a giant sky-blue fire phoenix swooped down and charged towards him.

"Hey!"

However, the Fire Phoenix has not yet arrived.

Mephistos's demonic body once again transformed into black mist, avoiding the impact of the fire phoenix.

Although Mephistos had already turned into black mist and dispersed beforehand, a significant portion of his energy was still burned away by the Eternal Flame, causing him to lose some of his aura of fear.

Mephistos, who was constantly absorbing the aura of fear that enveloped both banks of the Bekos River through the Throne of Fear, did not take this loss to heart.

Instead, he frowned as he watched Erin take the opportunity to turn around and run away again.

"Trying to run away? That won't do."

Mephistos shook his head, and a pitch-black throne appeared behind him.

After gracefully ascending the throne, an aura of terror, almost tangible, emanated from it, gradually enveloping Mephisto's body. His ferocious horns, and the dark, gleaming scales and carapace that reflected a metallic sheen, instantly made the body that originally belonged to the Witchheart Demon appear even larger.

Although Mephistos has only just come into contact with the Throne of Dread, his methods are far more sophisticated than those of the Warlock's manipulation of the Throne of Dread.

[Vortex of Fear]

Mephistos gently tapped the skull in his hand toward Erin.

A tiny black dot suddenly appeared in the void.

The next second, the black dot collapsed rapidly, and an invisible vortex was instantly stirred up in the void, centered on the collapsed black dot.

Immediately afterwards, every wisp of fear that shrouded the banks of the Bekos River seemed to be summoned, and pulled by the vortex, it rushed rapidly toward the center of the vortex.

As the vortex rapidly expanded, an aura of fear filled the air, causing even the void on both sides of the Bekos River to tremble violently.

The void on both sides of the Bekos River began to shake violently.

Rumble!

A muffled sound came from the void, and the terrifying suction force rapidly grew stronger, enveloping all directions.

The trees, water, sand, benches, and even houses, furniture, and debris along the banks of the Becos River, as well as some unfortunate animals and humans, were all being pulled by that terrifying suction force towards the terrifying vortex of collapse in mid-air.

Apart from Mephisto, who sat enthroned on the Throne of Fear, seemingly vanished into another dimension.

Everything was converging towards that collapsing, spreading "vortex of fear," which resembled a black hole.

Humans seem to be more vulnerable than objects.

Before they could even get close to the center of the vortex, most of humanity screamed and shattered under the pressure of the spinning vortex of fear. Their noses, mouths, eyeballs, and even their hearts and brains silently disintegrated into a cloud of blood mist.

Then it was sucked into the center of the vortex.

Do not!

This horrifying scene caused countless people being pulled backward by the vortex of fear, as well as those fleeing in panic further away, to scream in terror.

Fear spread instantly.

The fear born from extreme terror in these people not only comforted their terrified minds, but also fueled the vortex of fear, accelerating the deaths of residents on both sides of the Beccos River.

Compared to ordinary people.

Erin, who received special attention from Morpheus, was also in a precarious situation.

Although Erin's strength was much greater than that of ordinary people, the distance between Erin and the [Fear Vortex] was also decreasing considerably under the pull of the suction force, which was dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than that of ordinary people.

If it weren't for Erin constantly using [Flame Leap] to create distance, he would have already been swallowed by [Fear Vortex].

And as the vortex of fear continues to spread.

Two cruise missiles and three crimson swords streaked across the sky and appeared in Mephisto's line of sight almost simultaneously.

"Is everyone here?"

"In that case, let me add fuel to the fire for this final closing ceremony."

Glancing at Erin, who was being drawn into the vortex of fear, Mephistos's Throne of Fear flashed and appeared in front of Erin with Mephistos.

He didn't speak.

No threat.

He smiled slightly at Erin.

The demon's body, now clad in armor and appearing even more imposing and powerful, suddenly crumbled into countless particles, which were then completely swallowed up by the Throne of Fear beneath him.

Followed by.

An invisible wave emanated from the Throne of Fear...
