Godslayer in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 10 Murder and Arson: The Golden Belt

"Huff! Huff huff huff—" Ang exhaled large breaths of stale air.

His heart was pounding wildly.

That's too risky!

As the dust settled, he suddenly felt a wave of fear.

I just gained power and I'm already trying to kill the Boss? Am I crazy?

After a brief hesitation, his gaze hardened again, and this time he trembled, not from fear, but from a slight excitement.

This is a fucking hybrid world of DC and Marvel. Even if the Flash suddenly appeared and said he had traveled back in time to warn us that the world would be destroyed tomorrow, Ang wouldn't be surprised!

Ordinary people without power are destined to be slaughtered by others!

I'm scared! But I will never regret it!

The light film on his retina was flashing across the screen. Ang looked closely and was immediately overjoyed.

[Congratulations, host, on defeating (Black Mask) Roman Sinnis! The system has assisted you in successfully devouring and purifying the target's soul.]

【恭喜宿主获得了以下基础属性升级：体质+1、敏捷+1、力量+2、智力+2、感知+1、意志+3】

【恭喜宿主获得以下技能升级：基础格斗Lv10（2+8），基础枪法升级为Lv7，双持手枪Lv2。】

[The host has acquired a branch skill of the Gunslinging System (Pistol Sharpshooter): This skill can greatly increase the host's accuracy in pistol shooting.]

[The host has acquired a Constitution-based branch skill (Peak Physical Fitness): The host can maintain their strength, speed, endurance, stamina, reaction time, and agility at an extremely high level. Based on the host's current constitution, this effect lasts for 30 minutes without injury.]

[Host gains special skill (camouflage): With this skill, the host's disguise is less likely to be detected.]

Upon seeing this, Ang almost couldn't help but shout out in excitement.

The power Wonder Woman lent him was ultimately not his own. It's not that Diana would betray him, but rather that she wouldn't have any extra power for him to use when facing powerful enemies.

Only what you get in your hands is truly yours.

Ang was already quite satisfied with what he had gained.

The surprises are yet to come.

The system highlighted two items for him.

The first one is [Roman's Black Mask (Damaged) (Epic Quality)]:

Roman Sean Ness was born into the wealthy Sean Ness family in Gotham City. After murdering his parents, he inherited their vast fortune, but his volatile temper quickly led to the collapse of his company. Wayne Enterprises then acquired his company as a bailout, leaving Roman penniless. He blamed his misfortune on Bruce Wayne and vowed revenge. Roman then went to a cemetery, dug up his parents' coffins, and carved a black skull mask from the ebony to represent his rage. Becoming Black Mask, he formed his own criminal organization and became one of Gotham City's most feared gangsters.

The most distinctive feature of this thing is its inherent [mind control] ability, which is rated as Lv3 by the system.

Ang immediately thought this thing was useless.

Not only is the level of mind control low, but it also has a debuff called "The Curse of the Siennis Family".

This curse is even divided into two parts:

[The Curse of the Siennis Parents: Driven by rage by their son Roman's murder, the Siennis couple's souls reside within masks, awaiting the opportune moment to deliver the fatal blow to their unfilial son. They will recognize anyone who helps them avenge their son as the new owner of the mask.]

Seeing this, Ang finally understood why he was able to withstand Roman's mental control attack with his not-so-strong willpower.

This is what they call "extreme filial piety"!

The next part of the curse is quite interesting: [Roman Siennis's Curse: Because Roman was disturbed by the spirits of his parents when he died, he believes that the Joker was his killer. Anyone wearing this mask who encounters someone dressed as the Joker must undergo a mental check every 5 minutes. Those who fail the check will enter a 5-minute berserk state, prioritizing revenge against the "Joker."]

Seeing this, Ang couldn't help but sigh again, "No wonder the father yells at the son, this is so 'Gotham'."

In addition to its mind control abilities, this mask also provides incredible bonuses: [Immunity to mind control, Strength +4, Agility +3, Perception -10, Willpower +7 when worn].

The other item was a diamond that Ang had found in Roman's personal bag after it was highlighted by the system.

[Diamonds (Blood Money): Roman Siennis murdered the Betty Nellie family, a criminal family, to obtain diamonds containing their bank account information.]

"Hiss—" Ang gasped.

Killing a mob boss and seizing his fortune was something Ang had never even considered. Black Mask secretly funded various unknown henchmen in Gotham City and throughout the United States; they were known as the "Masked Society," and were all street thugs, thugs, and unidentified armed men.

Roman's money was simply too hot to handle.

The money that Roman cleaned up is actually worth considering.

Don't let Ang's current wealth fool you; he has no idea who his illegitimate father is. What if—and I mean just what if—the original owner of this body was Roman's illegitimate son? Well… cough cough.

Ang felt a chill run down his spine.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from afar. Ang thoughtfully sent Roman's body out of another sewer opening to ensure that his body would be discovered, and also gave away two Joker gang corpses for free.

Having accomplished all this, Ang quietly disappeared into the dark sewers.

Little did he know that at the same time he attacked Roman, over three hundred armed men in various attire gathered in a warehouse in the dock area. They were either Black Mask's henchmen or hastily hired mercenaries, all of them menacing and ruthless.

However, the rapid firing of automatic rifles put them on edge.

That's the guards outside firing!

Before they could rush out of the warehouse to see what had happened, the massive iron warehouse door collapsed as if it had been run over by a tank.

A huge searchlight suddenly turned on.

Faced with such a "sun god," the militants instinctively hid and unleashed a barrage of fire at him using their African marksmanship.

"Da da da!"

The intense gunfire was like ten pots simultaneously frying beans; the crackling sound became the only melody in the warehouse.

Useless!

completely useless!

Finally, one of the armed men glanced at it and immediately cried out in despair, "My God! It's Batman!"

That's right! The black four-wheel drive vehicle, like a black leopard-like ancient beast, lay prostrate at the warehouse entrance. Only when the attackers' firepower weakened due to changing magazines did it reveal its ferocious fangs.

Two Gatling rotary machine guns spewed out terrifying tongues of fire.

If Mr. Bat hadn't adhered to the principle of "never killing," the warehouse would probably be a living hell by now.

However, even if the machine gun bullets were replaced with rubber riot bullets, it would still be too much for ordinary humans to handle.

He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment!

"Ahhhhh!"

For a moment, the entire warehouse was filled with painful wails.

The militants fell in droves, like wheat being harvested.

It wasn't that no one tried to blow up the Batmobile with an RPG, but they were too slow. When the person carrying the RPG was highlighted on the system screen, he was immediately targeted by the Gatling gun and was beaten so badly he screamed in pain.

Even if some individuals try to put up a stubborn resistance using cover, don't forget, the Batmobile is equipped with a 60mm cannon...

"boom!"

What a huge firework!

Those behind them were like rabbits chased out of a haystack, swept down after only a few steps.

If Batman weren't a man who doesn't kill, this would have been a scene of carnage.

In less than five minutes, not a single militant was able to stand up.

"Connect to Gotham City Police Department," Batman's cold voice came through, and the AI ​​system immediately complied.

Unfortunately, Bat-man's mind was thrown into turmoil by a phone call from his butler, Alfred.

"Sir, I received news five minutes ago that the Black Mask Club was suspected of being bombed by the Jokers, and Roman Sinnis's body was found in an alley less than two hundred yards from the club."

"Who did it?" Batman's voice was calm and collected, but the light in his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"It looks like the Joker gang, but it's hard to say. You know, the entire Gotham City underworld, and even the neighboring New York City underworld, could have a reason to kill him."

Who benefits the most?

"The Joker, and...Ang!"

Very unusually, Batman's cheek muscles became slightly stiff.
