Marvel's Death Merchant

Has the president really decided to use it to attack the U.S. mainland?

"That's right, it was that person who suggested doing it. After all, he represents the security of the country, and in this regard, the president has to take his advice."

"Let's begin then."

A deafening roar shattered the tranquility of the autumn night. The barren wasteland, covered in gravel and low shrubs, suddenly trembled violently, then, with a crisp metallic snap, tore it in two, splitting it into two pieces spanning hundreds of square meters. The metal gleamed under the moonlight. Beneath the primeval wasteland lay a large underground military base, its weapon launchers slowly opening. Hydraulic supports were gradually building up power to lift the heavy metal launchers to the surface. On the tall metal launchers rested a warhead, several tons in weight, its warhead clearly painted with the infamous "yellow fan" pattern that countless people avoided.

This is the source of Umbrella Corporation's confidence in ensuring that Raccoon City's secrets would not be leaked. The 5000-ton nuclear bomb, launched by the US in a legitimate manner, was sufficient for "sterilization." The massive explosion on the morning of October 1st was enough to turn the entire Raccoon City and everything within it into burning history. However, they hadn't considered that Raccoon City had a madman who loved using nuclear weapons; the result would have been far more devastating.

This nuclear bomb is named "Purification".

"Reporting, sir, we've been targeted by a 5000-ton nuclear weapon." Tang Tian, ​​who was attacking the Goddess of Night, received a report from Mother Jarvis. "Hmm, Jarvis, connect to the US Department of Defense's nuclear weapons network system and release more nuclear warheads." Tang Tian felt that 5000 tons of nuclear weapons wouldn't completely destroy this advanced biological weapon. Therefore, he prepared to release a large number of nuclear warheads, completely disregarding his own safety. "Yes, sir, it will take approximately 10 minutes and 32 seconds to decipher the code. After deciphering, two 100-ton yield nuclear warheads and three 5000-ton yield nuclear warheads will be released." Mother Jarvis reported the completed work. "Very good. Detonate all the nuclear warheads here at once." Tang Tian gave the final order. "Understood, sir." Mother Jarvis replied quickly.

Earlier today, on the advice of National Security Advisor Derek C. Simmons, the current US President opened his ever-present nuclear briefcase and issued the order to use nuclear weapons for an attack. The commander of the underground base received the order and acted swiftly. Preparations for the nuclear attack were complete, but then a sudden system malfunction occurred: five extra nuclear warheads were deployed, including two high-yield warheads.

With a whoosh, the tail of the rocket, carrying six nuclear warheads, suddenly erupted, shooting out a dazzling trail of flame tens of meters long. The powerful kinetic energy of the liquefied hydrogen explosion easily propelled it off the launch pad. Forty seconds later, it was already flying at a constant speed of Mach 6 at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters. In just eight minutes, it would reach Raccoon City and deliver its ultimate destruction. This will be a big deal.

Southwest of Raccoon City

The vast lake of flesh and blood had completely dried up. Lin Fenghan knelt amidst the ravaged corpses, his hands resting heavily on his knees. His long, silvery-white hair, now reaching his ankles, was undergoing rapid metabolism, a testament to the intensity of his recent battle of mutual devouring with the Goddess of Night.

A sharp, tearing sound echoed as the limbs snapped and fell to the ground. Without warning, the attack brutally ripped Lin Fenghan's right arm off at the shoulder. However, at the severed arm and the wound on his shoulder, fleshy buds resembling red tentacles sprouted, connecting and pulling together to reconnect the arm to his body.

"Although I had anticipated this outcome, its actual occurrence still leaves me disappointed and frustrated." Lin Fenghan turned his head indifferently. Behind him stood a tall, beautiful blonde woman. However, her beauty was limited to her face; her body below the neck was still composed of rotting remains, as if chewed by a wild beast. Her left arm was a thick, long male arm, while her right arm was as short and thin as a three-year-old's. Her legs were also of uneven length, clearly not from the same body. Her body was even more disgusting, with uneven skin and rotting limbs protruding from it, some even revealing bare white bones, writhing and entwined by fleshy red tentacles.

Even though "Umbrella" had lost most of its memories, the original body of the Goddess of the Night still vividly remembered the pain of being used as an experimental subject. To be continued...

Chapter 476 The Complete Dream 9

The red and white umbrella pattern on Lin Fenghan's coat seemed to awaken the anger and hatred in her heart. The blonde woman let out an angry scream, like the shrill howl of a dead soul in hell.

With a series of "bangs," the blonde woman traversed dozens of meters in an instant, her slender sword piercing Lin Fenghan's chest like a witch from Left 4 Dead. The intense pain in his chest had already reached his brain's nerve center when the terrifying, supersonic explosion that tore through the air finally arrived. A plasma beam shot from his arm then melted the blonde woman's head.

"Supersonic speed is this powerful?" Lin Fenghan coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a bitter smile. Such power was simply beyond his current ability to resist. "Alright, that's enough. The nuclear missile is coming soon. Take a rest and put it on." Tang Tian said after seeing that Lin Fenghan had reached his limit, and took out the same super armor as himself. The latter picked up the super armor and hid to the side to slowly recover his strength.

With a "whoosh," six meteors streaked from afar, trailing brilliant fiery tails. "Warning! Warning! Sir, nuclear weapon is about to explode! Please evacuate immediately!" The voice of the Mother Jarvis simultaneously echoed from inside Lin Fenghan and Tang Tian's super armors. Lin Fenghan and Tang Tian quickly ran away at six times the speed of sound, unleashing their full firepower; after all, neither wanted to die. After the nuclear explosion, the world seemed to darken. The nuclear fission detonator began to explode, and artificial suns rapidly split open. Due to the extremely high brightness, the spatial observation instruments around the blast center appeared as if it were night. Tang Tian also activated his gravity control and energy absorption powers to protect his super armor.

After the nuclear bomb, the Goddess of Night, exploded at its core, a dazzling flash illuminated the sky. An even brighter flash, mixed with deadly rays, particles, nuclear dust storms, and shockwaves, blasted in all directions, radiating light brighter than a million suns. Even high in the sky, Tang Tian and Lin Fenghan could feel the immense light and heat. Space was bathed in the red glow of sunrise. High above, Tang Tian, ​​with great interest, made a gesture of embrace and loudly proclaimed, "I love 'nuclear harmony'!" Indeed, Tang Tian had originally planned to use a megaton of nuclear weapon to purify this place, but the fact that he hadn't had the chance made him regretful.

A massive burst of flame, spanning thousands of cubic meters, erupted in the air, instantly transforming into a terrifying fireball that shot upwards, engulfing the entire city.

“Wesker. I don’t think you invited me here just for coffee,” Ada Wong said, holding her coffee cup and looking at Wesker, who stood with his hands behind his back in front of the French windows, with a mocking expression. “After seeing how pathetic you were in Raccoon City, I thought you wouldn’t be making a comeback.”

"Hmph," Wesker snorted and turned his head. The setting sun cast a golden glow on the frames of his sunglasses, but it did nothing to warm his heart. "Of course, the company's target this time is a remote village in Spain, where a cult of light is based. You just need to bring me one thing from there."

“I seem to recall a recent Rockford Island mission,” Ada Wong’s blue eyes swept calmly over Wesker. “It seems like it had a virus leak, just like on Sina Island.”

"You don't need to know, so don't ask. The boss of the Rockford Island mission has already sent me. I'd like to meet that Alfred, and also bring back his genius sister Alexia on this mission." Wesker revealed a sinister smile. Wesker now holds a high position in the Iron Warlords and controls a large army. However, he has no intention of, nor dares to, go against, Tang Tian, ​​the chairman of the Iron Warlords. That guy is a madman who can directly infiltrate the US Department of Defense and has released a large number of nuclear warheads at once. His personal strength is also quite terrifying. To say that he would betray them is simply impossible.

In the bottom hall of the Steel Warlord Biotechnology Division laboratory, a middle-aged man in a white protective suit was looking at a purple liquid. Behind him sat a handsome young man with a calm smile. "How's the William virus research going? I need the virus," Tang Tian asked Dr. William beside him. "Boss, based on a fragment of your superbug's genes, we've developed a new, hybrid supervirus—the 001 hybrid virus strain," William replied respectfully. "Very good. William, you can leave now." Tang Tian then injected a large dose of the new virus into his carotid artery, feeling the chilling virus slowly eroding his body cells. He flew out and appeared directly in Japan. Feeling his body needed energy, he activated his super armor and flew to Japan. Upon arriving in Japan, Tang Tian's body, possessing mutated superpower genes combined with the 001 strain, underwent a mutation. His right hand grew enormous and an eye sprouted. Feeling the need for a large amount of energy, Tang Tian unleashed his instincts and began to devour...

— "Hmm Claire" Lin Fenghan accidentally saw some information in a window while browsing the main computer of the Umbrella branch.

"She really did come to attack this Umbrella branch after all." Lin Fenghan sighed and gave a helpless bitter smile. "This guy really knows how to cause trouble for me and Chris. Let Lin Fenghan come and see where they sent you, Rockford Island. I still have some impression of that mentally ill Alfred, that ambitious Alexander Ashford, and Alexia who finished her studies at the age of ten and entered the Antarctic Research Institute."

Lin Fenghan narrowed his eyes, a blood-red glint flashing in his pupils. "Veronica's mutant virus, Alexia, you truly deserve to be the genius I admire most after Master William. Originally, there was a rule in Umbrella that I couldn't obtain a single sample, but now I've resigned. Therefore, I must obtain Veronica. Tang Tian believes you will also be interested." Lin Fenghan thought to himself.

"Buzzing." After Lin Fenghan's helicopter took off, the concealed research institute was also shut down. To be continued...

Chapter 477 The Complete Dream (10)

"What should I do, what should I do..." Chris paced back and forth in the conference room, pulling his hands through his hair and groaning in self-reproach. After a while, he suddenly asked Lin Fenghan, "Lin, do you think I'm a bad brother? I didn't even know my sister was in trouble."

“Yes, you’re definitely not,” Lin Fenghan, who had been gradually hiding his true identity, was considered by Chris to be someone opposed to the Umbrella Corporation. Therefore, the two had become “friends,” so Chris answered with certainty, “If I had a sister like you, I would definitely put her under house arrest and not let her leave her room, because she causes trouble the moment she steps out. You don’t know, he even encountered a tyrant in Raccoon City!”

"And a tyrant?! That bastard on the rooftop of the mansion?! Claire, that brat, only told me she encountered low-level zombies." Chris was shocked.

"Relax, relax, Claire isn't as weak as you think, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to escape the perilous Raccoon City," I comforted her. "Now all we have to do is wait for Lyon's news. Given the CIA's intelligence gathering capabilities, he should bring us good news soon." As I was speaking, the phone rang loudly.

"Okay, I got it. The coordinates of Rockford Island..." Lin Fenghan nodded and smiled at Chris. "Good news, we got the coordinates!"

"Let's go now, I'll go pack my gear!" Chris was overjoyed and hurried downstairs.

"Tang Tian, ​​we're here! T—Veronica, looking forward to meeting you!" Lin Feng's blood-red pupils suddenly contracted, a violent red light flashing in his cone-shaped pupils. At the same time, a super powerful monster appeared in Japan, constantly devouring many Japanese people.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom, slurp slurp slurp—" The incessant sounds of explosions and devouring/chewing suddenly filled the air. This place was a gigantic mass of flesh covered in tentacles, and it continued to expand after devouring humans and steel, its tentacles surging forward like a tidal wave! As the fleshy tide drew closer, the enormous sounds grew louder, eventually becoming a thunderous roar like a landslide or tsunami. The earth trembled violently as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had struck.

The monster devoured everything in its path, including inorganic matter (mechanical objects). Although the energy of the massive missile barrage launched by Japan was completely absorbed by an invisible force field, and it further evolved—to put it more politely, it was no longer an ordinary individual organism; to put it bluntly, it became a gigantic "garbage mountain" (perhaps that's a better way to put it?). Wherever the Japanese went, all living and non-living things were devoured—that was the fate of these Japanese. The surviving Japanese were becoming fewer and fewer, their resistance weaker and weaker. If the monster could be injured, it would be manageable, but the problem was that almost all weapons were ineffective, instead making the monster even stronger. The monster had now grown to a size several thousand meters in diameter. Very few people remained alive.

Japan is filled with a sense of darkness. The evolved G-monsters are all tens or even hundreds of meters in diameter, and their length is incalculable, at least hundreds of kilometers. They descend from the sky, writhing and twisting on the ground like worms. Everything in their path, whether animal or plant, is devoured and absorbed as nutrients to extend the length of their tentacles.

At the location of the fully evolved monster of the G-virus, a giant fleshy ball suddenly appeared, forming petals. From within, hundreds of meters long, purplish-black tentacles extended, filled with a fruit containing an unknown liquid. Then, the "fruit" began to crack, and suddenly a person crawled out. Tang Tian opened his eyes and slowly regained consciousness. When Tang Tian awoke, his eyes had turned a dark, blood-red color, filled with an evil aura. His body was filled with an endless, boundless power that made him feel capable of destroying everything.

"The show is about to begin." Tang Tian quickly put on the clothes he had already taken out, then slowly floated in the air and flew out, heading towards Rockford Island at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

"That bastard Wesker isn't dead at all!" Chris's face was covered in bruises. It was clear he had been in a violent fight.

"Oh, so how did you escape?" Lin Fenghan, who was already secretly hiding in the darkness, asked in confusion. Given the relationship between Chris and Wesker, Wesker would definitely not let Chris go.

“He got a phone call. Then he let me go,” Chris sighed. “I really regret not killing him!”

"Don't worry, you'll definitely have a chance to meet again," Lin Fenghan assured Chris. "As long as he wants to complete his boss's mission, he must obtain the Veronica virus, and he will definitely appear at the Antarctic base!"

"That should be right, but it seems we're not very welcome in Antarctica." Chris looked out the window, where several incongruous, thick, dark green vine-like objects suddenly burst forth from beneath the pristine white glacier. These dark green vines were hundreds of meters long, thicker than water tanks, moved extremely fast, and possessed incredible strength, heading straight for our plane!

"The plane is too slow, let's jump out." Lin Fenghan only glanced at it before judging the position and speed of the dark green vines. Without saying a word, he grabbed Chris and jumped out of the cabin.

With a creaking sound, accompanied by the violent twisting and deformation of metal, the plane, constricted by the dark green vines, instantly deformed, torn apart like a simple toy. Pulled to the ground by the vines, it crashed into the ground, becoming a fireball.

"Phew, that was dangerous," Chris said, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.

"Hmph, if Alexia doesn't come up with something fun to defend the laboratory during the ten years Umbrella suspended surveillance, she doesn't deserve to be called a genius," Lin Fenghan said with a sneer.

"Alright, let's go down. It wouldn't be good to keep the master waiting." Lin Fenghan smiled faintly, then activated his mental power, slowly lowering Lin Fenghan and Chris down through the huge hole where dark green vines extended.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Antarctic Laboratory] Alfred was limping down the empty corridor. He had lost too much blood, and with each step, blood spurted from his femoral artery, leaving bloody footprints on the ground.

Chapter 478 The Complete Dream (11)

"Password verification... Successful! Welcome, Lord Alfred!" A cold, mechanical voice rang out, but Alfred ignored it and walked straight into the laboratory.

The control panel was covered with a dense array of buttons, and the screen in the middle clearly displayed the various conditions of the test subject's body. When he saw that all the indicators were very stable, Alfred finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He skillfully entered a series of complex passwords, deciphered each command, and finally slammed his hand on the red button in the center of the control panel: "Start the unfreezing process!"

"Hiss—" In the center of the laboratory, a tall, coffin-like black container stood on the ground. Its dark, cold color and the dense array of measuring instruments on it indicated its extraordinary nature.

At this moment, a cold white mist was rising from the dark, heavy "iron coffin," and the extremely low temperature instantly coated the entire laboratory with a layer of ice crystals. The cold current from the Antarctic glacier was slowly receding, and the temperature of the "coffin" was gradually rising.

With a loud crash, the coffin lid fell heavily to the ground, the thick, hard metal leaving a deep dent in the earth. The white mist inside the coffin gradually dissipated, revealing a stunningly beautiful blonde woman with her eyes closed.

“Ah, Alexia…” Alfred let out a final, satisfied sigh. His thoughts seemed to grow heavier and heavier, the world before him receding further and further away, the scene gradually blurring… Then his eyes snapped shut, and he spat out a mouthful of semi-congealed, dark red blood, collapsing heavily to the ground. He was dead. But his arm remained outstretched, pointing towards his sister, his fingers bent as if trying to grasp something.

At that moment, the blonde woman in the coffin opened her eyes, but her pupils were not ordinary brown or blue, but a strange dark green, like a vortex, as if they could devour a person's soul.

"How is this possible?!" The blonde woman opened her eyes and saw Alfred's corpse lying on the ground before her. Her dark green pupils instantly contracted to the size of grains of rice. Her long blonde hair moved without wind. Filled with disbelief, regret, and sorrow, the temperature around her rose at an alarming rate.

"Such powerful strength, Alexia. I think I've found you!" Lin Fenghan felt a terrifying force, like a landslide or a tsunami, sweeping towards him. He smiled, and with a flash, he sped off in the direction from which the spiritual energy had come...

"This feeling, yes. That's right, it's the power of the virus, and that guy too." Tang Tian, ​​who had already flown to Rockford Island using the force of anti-gravity, muttered to himself.

"How could this be! How could this be! It's impossible!!!" The blonde woman's rage exploded like a bomb! The surrounding space paused slightly, contracted towards the woman, and then vanished in a frenzy!

The raging flames reduced everything around them to dust, and Alfred's body shattered and disintegrated in an instant, sparking like firecrackers.

Suddenly, a raging fire erupted in the room, where there was no combustible material. The towering flames seemed to devour everything, and the metal was charred, crackling and popping.

In the endless sea of ​​fire, only a slender figure stood alone. A melodious yet chilling voice rang out: "I, Alexia, as Empress, declare war on the world!"

"Click, click..." A series of crisp footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. Alexia clasped her arms together, and the raging flames gradually subsided around her.

A young man in his early twenties with silver-white hair walked in through the door. He flashed a sunny smile, his blood-red eyes fixed on Alexia: "Heh, I didn't expect to run into you here. I wonder if you still recognize me. It seems you've completely integrated with the T-Veronica virus. Looks like my luck isn't bad."

"Hehehe, you're in luck. Looks like I wasn't too late either." At this moment, another handsome young man in his twenties with black hair, wearing sunglasses, stared intently at Alexia and said.

Alexia's emerald green pupils contracted. Her intuition told her that the two people in front of her were extremely dangerous. Their strength was evident from their blood-red pupils and the fact that she could not sense any power from them. They must have also fused with the virus, but she did not know which one.

"So you really did come. To get more viruses, huh? Not bad. Alexia, I'll come find you later." Lin Fenghan vanished from Alexia's sight in an instant, appearing behind Tang Tian. Tang Tian wasn't surprised at all by Lin Fenghan's speed; how could someone who had fused with the virus not possess some power? Alexia was also taken aback, not expecting Lin Fenghan to be so strong. A violent sonic boom erupted as Lin Fenghan unleashed a punch with an aura that swept away and destroyed everything. But Tang Tian remained motionless, not even for a moment. The punch struck Tang Tian, ​​but Tang Tian was completely unharmed. Lin Fenghan, however, felt his power completely absorbed after hitting him.

"Alright, stop this. After all, we have the same goal. I won't stop you; only you have the strength." Tang Tian originally wanted to see the power of this legendary beauty, so he let Lin Fenghan take the lead. Tang Tian believed that Lin Fenghan definitely didn't want both sides to suffer losses.

"Okay, I agree." After Lin Fenghan finished speaking, he looked at Alexia, and then a long afterimage appeared in her direction. He clasped his hands together, and several thick, long black tentacles frantically stabbed towards her. To my surprise, Alexia did not panic. A smug smile appeared on her lips. "If you attacked me from behind, I certainly couldn't hit you in my current evolved state, but your biggest mistake was rushing in front of me!"

"Hehehe." Alexia suddenly stretched out her hands, palms facing Lin Fenghan.

Lin Fenghan and Tang Tian were surprised to find that Alexia's originally fair and smooth palms suddenly began to be covered with some emerald green patches. Soon her entire hands turned emerald green and grew a kind of keratinous layer similar to leaves, which looked extremely strange!

"Bloom, endless flames!" Alexia shouted, and two thick, long, fiery red flames suddenly spewed from the palms of her hands, which were covered with strange "leaves"!

"Wow, what is this? It's so powerful!" Lin Fenghan and Tang Tian were genuinely astonished. Although Tang Tian understood that this was the power of the virus, he was also very excited. He saw Lin Fenghan using countless tentacles to surge up and down, protecting himself completely.

Chapter 479 The Complete Dream (12)

"Boom!" Two flames instantly engulfed Lin Fenghan's body, then merged together, causing a violent explosion!

A massive fireball formed in the center of the room, then expanded several times its original size in almost a second! It exploded with a deafening roar, spraying crimson flames in all directions and leaving charred, burnt marks on the ground…

"Whoosh." After enduring the violent explosion of Alexia's superpower, Lin Fenghan was knocked out. Tang Tian had already prepared a gravity field, and all the flames that entered the gravity field were absorbed. However, a huge amount of sand and building materials poured down from the broken ceiling, burying the entire house completely.

"The genius Chinese Lin Fenghan, and this person next to him is very powerful and dangerous. I didn't expect they were also injected with the virus. Moreover, these two are also very powerful!" Looking at the collapsed room, although Tang Tian did not move, his strength was also very strong. Alexia in the corridor revealed a bitter smile, his left hand grasping the broken black tentacle deeply embedded in his right arm, and he pulled it out with a heavy heart.

With a soft "thud," Alexia threw the half-meter-long black tentacle to the ground. The severed tentacle still writhed and twitched like an earthworm. Alexia's lips trembled slightly as he said, "What terrifying vitality!"

Alexia shook his arm, and some bright green blood splattered from the wound, falling to the ground and reacting violently with the air, burning black dents into the alloy floor. Then, in the blink of an eye, the horrific wound on Alexia's arm was completely healed, as good as new!

“I have to leave. Those two are too strong. I’m no match for them right now. I need to accelerate my evolution! There was no killing intent in them. Could it be that they’re after the virus?” Alexia looked at the ruins behind her, a hint of doubt in her eyes, and then hurriedly left.

---------------------------------- Separator --------------------------------------------------

Inside the destroyed room, amidst piles of debris several meters high, a charred arm suddenly emerged from the rubble. The charred scabs, blackened by the intense heat, quickly peeled off, revealing fresh, bright red flesh beneath. This flesh then rapidly grew and aged, returning to its original pale appearance within a mere second.
