Marvel's Death Merchant

“No, that was taken by Peter Parker, an exchange student at that school. I just got it from him,” Samuel Stern said thoughtfully.

"Dr. Samuel, I think Mr. Green will contact you again. Your goal is to obtain more of his blood, preferably to test its mutating effects on other creatures. I will protect you with Watchmen," Tang Tian said seriously. This was also to avoid affecting the upcoming plot development and the appearance of Abomination; maintaining the plot for a while was acceptable. The battle between Green Arrow and the Hulk is no longer just from the movies or comics, but a result of its own independent evolution.

“Yes, I understand. I will do my best,” Samuel Stern said earnestly. He also understood that the most valuable asset of Umbrella Corporation was its research results.

"But you should be careful, the army is currently trying to capture him, so be careful when you contact him," Tang Tian advised.

“Yes, I understand. Don’t worry, Mr. Donus,” Samuel Stern said confidently.

The operation was a success; Tang Tian successfully recruited Samuel Stern to his side. After obtaining the Hulk's genes, Tang Tian planned to travel through countless movie worlds to acquire their technology.

Chapter 315 Bronsky's Choice

The battle between Green Arrow and the Hulk was a feast for the eyes. Since the Tokyo cleansing operation, the superheroes had temporarily gone into hiding. However, the Hulk's reappearance has brought them back into the spotlight.

The two major superhero organizations, Watchmen and the Justice League, both boast numerous superheroes. The Justice League is the most powerful. At Nick Fury's suggestion, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Iron Man joined the newly formed Avengers. It's possible that the emergence of a third superhero organization, the Avengers, will only be realized after Loki's invasion, creating a three-way power struggle and various dangers.

Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, is currently at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. After Captain America awoke, General Ross extracted his blood to create an incomplete Superman serum. Bronsky was fortunate enough to become a test soldier for the military, and after successfully fusing with it, he became General Ross's trump card. With the increasing number of superhero organizations, both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military had the idea of ​​creating their own super soldiers, which led to Tony Stark and Bruce Banner's gamma-ray project.

Just as Green Arrow finished his battle with the Hulk, Captain America, who had been awake for some time at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, was undergoing his daily training.

"Thud!" The sandbag in front of Captain America flew out again, crashing into a wall. This was already the umpteenth sandbag he'd smashed. Before World War II, Captain America was just a skinny, ordinary young man. After being injected with the super serum extracted from the Stairway to the Sun, he became a super soldier.

After achieving his goal, Captain America, under Red Skull's final counterattack, fell to the Arctic and was frozen for decades. Upon awakening, he was immediately subjected to a blood transfusion by the military. He then joined the Avengers at the invitation of Nick Fury.

"Can't sleep, huh?" The one-eyed man wearing an eye patch appeared at the entrance of the S.H.I.E.L.D. training ground and said to Captain America.

"You've been dug out of the Arctic Ocean for a while now, how's it going? Speaking of which, you're quite famous. After all, you were the first superhero Captain America."

Nick Fury said with a smile.

Nick Fury casually lit a cigarette, Captain America not even glancing at him. He hung up a new sandbag and continued training relentlessly. Nick Fury knew Captain America was venting; decades had passed since he disappeared, and when he awoke, everything had changed drastically. Most importantly, he hadn't kept a promise.

"Sir, what's wrong now? I've said before, I need some time alone. Besides, with the Justice League and the Watchmen here, it's very peaceful. That big guy is no match for them." Captain America frowned; clearly, the past few months hadn't made him feel at ease.

“That’s right, it seems you’ve heard the news too. However, the military is currently searching for him, which means the big green guy is now a fugitive,” Nick Fury said with a smile.

“However, you don’t know that he’s also a scientist. My idea is that you could invite him to join the Avengers at the right time,” Nick Fury said seriously after thinking for a moment.

At that moment, General Ross angrily said to his female adjutant, "Get rid of those images. I want all the footage and photos gone by tonight. Also, find that reporter and that student and shut them up, or they'll be gone forever."

"Sir, even so, we can't make him disappear. That gentleman's name is Peter Parker, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files confirm he is Spider-Man. There's one more important thing?" the female adjutant said thoughtfully.

"What is it?" Ross said calmly. Although Green Arrow couldn't be borrowed for the time being, Bronsky was still his hope.

"Yes, Bronsky. He's changed. Although he was smashed to pieces by that big green guy, his heart is as strong as a machine."

As they walked, the female adjutant recounted Bronsky's story to General Ross.

In the battle against the Hulk, Bronsky survived by sheer luck, but suffered multiple fractures throughout his body. However, he recovered in just three days.

General Ross considered one possibility: that the imperfect superhuman serum in Bronsky's body had changed.

This news pleased General Ross, as he had originally considered Bronsky to be a trump card among super soldiers. Although Bronsky didn't possess the strength of Green Arrow, he was still a formidable warrior.

“I’m glad to see you recover, soldier. How are you feeling?” General Ross said to Bronzaki, whose face was beaming with excitement.

“Thank you, sir, I feel great,” Bronsky said excitedly, then turned to General Ross.

“I’m furious, get ready for the third wave of battle,” Bronsky said excitedly and enthusiastically.

"I can give you more power so that this duel can be fought more fairly."

General Ross knew of the Hulk's destructive power, so he prepared to give him even greater power.

Bronsky thought of Bruce, that useless scientist, who gained the power he desired simply because of an experimental accident with Tony Stark. Bronsky's eyes blazed with madness; anger could create a new warrior. As Bronsky thought this, a violent mutation occurred within him. General Ross couldn't see the original fracture site; bone spurs sprouted from his shoulder and throughout his body.

“I can give you a chance. The people Mr. Donald sent will help you. I hope you gain new power,” General Ross said with a smile, though he already had a better plan in mind.

As he watched General Ross slowly leave, Bronsky knew that his chance had come; once he got it, he would possess godlike power.

“Blonsky? Looks good, just a preliminary fusion of experimental serum samples,” Albert Wesker said dismissively as he walked in.

"Are you the one who's going to give me a chance? Once I have the power, I'm sure I won't be inferior to a superhero." Although Bronsky knew that Wesker was definitely someone who surpassed him, he still showed no other expression, only a thirst for power.

“You need to understand that big green guy; his cells are special. My boss is giving you a choice: join the Watchmen and gain new power, or stay as you are forever.” Blonsky couldn't see Wesker's expression behind his sunglasses, but his meaning was very clear: the choice was power.

“If that’s the case, I’ll choose one, because power is everything,” Bronsky said frantically, and Wesker nodded in agreement.

Chapter 316 The Black Giant

“The boss’s orders are very simple. Here I am, the latest research result from Umbrella Corporation, the T-G fusion virus. It’s a big green thing, and its body can be put into combat mode at any time because of its special properties. You’re different. Your physique is only slightly better, nothing special. I know you want to have that thing’s blood implanted, but unpredictable changes will occur,” Wesker said thoughtfully to Bronsky.

"So what will happen to me?" Bronsky asked, puzzled.

“Of course, you will undergo a violent mutation. You will also gain the power of the green giant, but needless to say, the other superheroes will destroy you.” Wesker looked up at Bronsky and said seriously.

"So what should I do to avoid such danger?" Bronsky asked seriously, because with the emergence of the Justice League, Bronsky didn't want to be eliminated by the Justice League or the Watchmen organization after just gaining powerful strength.

"Of course, he can make the super soldier serum in your body and the blood of that big guy basically fuse together, and the T-virus will be your only chance of survival," Wesker explained calmly.

“Yes, I understand. Let’s begin, for power.” Bronsky raised his head and said calmly, as if he were ready.

Meanwhile, Bruce Banner, the Hulk, went to Samuel Stern's place with General Ross's daughter. He had no other choice but to become normal and avoid the things he feared.

Following Tang Tian's orders, Samuel Stern delivered the Hulk's physical data and blood samples, which he had already collected and manufactured, to Tang Tian through special channels. The new enhanced human warrior project was also being secretly carried out within the Umbrella Corporation.

Samuel Stern then injected Bruce Banner with the antidote, despite having explained the uncertainties and dangers of the experiment. Bruce, however, wanted to try it so he could live a normal life. The experiment was largely successful, and Samuel Stern's theory and experiments were essentially sound.

When the Hulk was injected with the antidote, his cells sensed the danger and prepared to transform into the Hulk. Samuel Stern dodged away, knowing the danger of being near such a massive creature. His fears proved correct; the Hulk began mutating the moment Samuel left. Furthermore, Samuel knew that the Hulk's blood contained an extremely high energy level, and if it came into contact with his own blood, he too would transform into a similar being, so he had to be careful.

However, at the critical moment, Betty Ross played a crucial role, temporarily stabilizing the mindless Hulk and allowing Samuel Stern to successfully implant the antidote.

After Bruce Banner temporarily recovered, he discussed his problems with Samuel Stern. During their conversation, he learned that Samuel Stern possessed a large quantity of his own blood. He realized the danger of his blood remaining there. If discovered by the military, it would undoubtedly be cloned into various biological weapons, making it extremely difficult to eradicate from the world.

So Bruce and Mr. Samuel discussed destroying that blood, though Samuel saw it as a better way to benefit humanity, not as creating weapons. However, the truth remains unknown. Tang Tian could use these weapons when necessary; some weapons couldn't be used temporarily, as Tang Tian didn't possess the power of Zhang Min.

Furthermore, Samuel stated that even Nobel would not have imagined his research would be used in war, in refuting Bruce Banner's claim that his blood would cause many dangers. However, just as they were arguing intensely, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Bronsky, hiding nearby, aimed his sniper rifle at the Hulk. He hit him precisely, and Bruce Banner's cells were temporarily suppressed by the antidote, making him look like a normal person, so he was knocked down by the tranquilizer gun.

So no matter how hard Bronsky fought Bruce Banner, he couldn't transform into the Hulk. Betty Ross, of course, was also taken onto the helicopter. Bronsky stayed behind; he too had his own purpose: to obtain the Hulk's power.

Bronsky entered the building alone and went straight to Samuel Stern, who wanted the Hulk's blood—a suggestion Wesker had given him. However, General Ross's adjutant was there, and without further ado, he knocked him unconscious.

After seeing the Hulk's blood, Bronsky didn't hesitate to have Samuel implant it. Samuel, realizing Bronsky had become one of his own, cooperated. He left after Bronsky received the Hulk's blood, having completed his mission. Next came the arrival of a new member to the Watchmen.

"Has it started? It seems Bronsky is still developing as before," Tang Tian muttered to himself, looking at the monitor.

"Sir, Dr. Samuel has arrived at headquarters as planned," Wesker said earnestly to Tang Tian.

Sure enough, Bronsky appeared in the New York night shortly afterward. Now, Bronsky was a black giant, roaring and destroying everything in the streets. His head was bald, with grotesque bone spurs growing from his elbows and back, and his face was crazed and ferocious.

"Hahaha, did you see that? Hulk, this is my power, come out now!" Bronsky, now in his Black Giant form, still wanted to fight the Hulk. Unlike the Hulk, the Black Giant could control his temper. Because Bronsky didn't attack, the surrounding citizens were just watching the spectacle without any other intentions.

If the Black Giant were to destroy everything from the outset, even without using devastating weapons, the superheroes wouldn't just stand by and watch. The Black Giant with Bronsky's head knew this perfectly well, so he wouldn't die on his own.

General Ross was quite satisfied with the Black Giant, as the military finally had a super soldier. Bruce Banner, having awakened, jumped out of the helicopter with General Ross's permission. General Ross's intention was to test Bronsky's strength, so the two giants began to fight.

General Ross watched as the Hulk and the Black Giant fought, signaling his men to cease fire, his mind focused on testing the strength of the warrior Bronsky.

Meanwhile, General Ross was aboard an armed helicopter overhead. General Ross was very pleased with the power Bronsky had gained; it gave the military an ace up its sleeve to solve more problems. Because the world was not at peace, the military needed more power.

Betty Ross looked at the Hulk with a questioning gaze from the plane, and all she heard him say was, "Bruce, I hope you can win, because you are the Hulk."

Tang Tian watched their battle with great interest—the fight between the Hulk and the Black Giant. The world had gained another superhero: the Black Giant.

Chapter 317 African Mission

Putting aside the battle between the Hulk and the Black Giant, Tang Tian had already predicted the outcome: the Hulk would win. And the result was pretty much as Tang Tian had guessed: the Black Giant, Bronsky, was defeated. While Bronsky, fused with the T and G fusion viruses, was powerful, he didn't have the same potential as the Hulk, so his defeat was entirely predictable.

Meanwhile, in a village, at an Umbrella Corporation outpost, an Umbrella mercenary was transmitting a radio message from the communications room. His pale face showed his extreme terror, as if he had encountered something horrible. Suddenly, the wooden door behind him burst open, and the soldier turned around in horror to see a tall figure approaching him…

In his New York City apartment, Leon Kennedy had just recovered from the battle between the Hulk and the Black Giant. The ringing of the phone snapped him out of his thoughts. He glanced at the time, shook his head to clear his head.

Leon answered the phone and asked calmly, "This is Leon." A deep baritone voice came from the other end of the line: "It's me, Chris. Get to Umbrella headquarters immediately. We have a new mission." Then he hung up.

Leon shook his head and said helplessly, "Looks like we won't be seeing those superhero battles again. There's been so much going on lately. Luckily Raccoon City was destroyed, otherwise it would have been a real problem. The Justice League is pretty good too, even stronger than the company's Watchmen."

After hanging up the phone, he walked towards the parking lot to find Chris. He hadn't slept soundly like this in a long time, not since the Raccoon City incident months ago. Now that he had a mission, he didn't have to think about those things and could temporarily forget the bad memories.

A few months ago, Leon was a rookie who had just graduated from the police academy. Although he had fought in the virtual world for a long time, he didn't have any real experience in the virtual world.

After witnessing the murders in Raccoon City, he applied to join the Raccoon City Police Department. Just as he was preparing to prove himself in Raccoon City, the biohazard outbreak occurred, and he bravely survived the onslaught of zombies and monsters. He met the Green Hornet and Deadpool, and escaped from the hellish Raccoon City.

Later, the military and Umbrella Corporation invited him to join a secret organization established by the military and the company, where he became one of its leaders. Hydra not only left Leon with unforgettable memories but also instilled in him a deep hatred for the organization.

Two hours later, Leon sat in his office waiting for Chris to speak, looking at the documents in his hand without saying a word. Chris, sitting opposite him, was recounting what had happened: "There's a secret research institute of our company in that village in Africa, mainly run by Death Hank and Alfred. Their goal is to find samples of the Prika parasite that can be compatible with the virus."

"After the cleanup operation in Raccoon City, local forces discovered this place and wanted to destroy our research facility." Upon hearing this, Leon's face turned ashen, and he coldly said, "Hmph, this is our territory. I don't think we can let those natives get away so easily."

Chris smiled and said, “I understand how you feel, but we have no right to interfere. Just a few days ago, some mysterious force invaded the area and released all the usable viruses or parasites. This infected the entire village, and the mercenaries stationed there have been killed. Death Hank and Alfred have gone to investigate, but there is still no progress.”

Upon hearing this, the hellish scene from a few months ago resurfaced in Leon's mind: "Do you suspect that place was also attacked by Hydra?"

Chris nodded heavily and said, "I'm afraid it's become the second Raccoon City. The chairman only learned of this just after the battle between the two Titans ended."

Leon closed the file in his hand and said coldly, "So, what's my mission?"

“Find the reason for the attack there.” Chris paused, then said, “If you find Hydra, eliminate the enemy you discover.” Upon hearing this, Leon stood up from his chair and said calmly, “Yes, I understand. Thank you for this opportunity, Chairman. I will make the most of it.”

Leon's contribution to Umbrella was all thanks to Tang Tian. And the reason Tang Tian valued Leon so highly was because Leon wasn't just the protagonist of the Resident Evil games. More importantly, Leon possessed incredibly strong abilities in all aspects. You've seen guys who could take down most biological weapons with just a small pistol, and Leon was clearly that kind of person.

“Calm down, Leon. This isn’t necessarily Hydra’s fault. We don’t know the truth. We only know a rough outline, so we need you to investigate.” Upon hearing this, Leon’s anger subsided slightly, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

"Okay, I understand, Chris. I'll do my best. Those superheroes have been quite active lately, so you need to be careful too." Chris looked at the calm Leon, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and said slowly, "That's for the best. I'll keep an eye on those superheroes too."

After speaking, he took a photograph from the drawer and handed it to Leon. Leon looked at it and felt slightly relieved. The photograph showed a man in a black suit with red eyes and a somewhat cold expression, followed by six tyrants in military overcoats. The ground around them was littered with the corpses of African natives, who appeared to have undergone some unpredictable mutation.

“East Slav.” Leon slowly uttered the name. He knew that the man was the first Newtype of the Umbrella Corporation. From controlling the Lickers at the beginning to controlling the Tyrant now, his power was evident.

Chris nodded: "A few months ago, before the Raccoon City cleanup, he took those tyrants to Africa. In less than half an hour, all 60 mutated, disorganized mutated humans were wiped out."

Just as Lyon was about to express his opinion, a voice that was both unfamiliar and very familiar to him came from behind: "Of course, East Slav has long since abandoned his human identity, and those six tyrants are the final product of Umbrella virus research. The chairman had him prepare for the control function all along." Lyon turned around and saw Claire, who had a ponytail, standing in the doorway.

Claire smiled and said to Leon, "What's wrong, Leon? You're not even saying hello to an old friend? I was only gone for a few days."

“Of course, I know you. You are Claire Redfield.” Claire was a survivor who escaped from Raccoon City with Leon. Since Claire’s goal was to find Chris, they met by chance.
