Marvel's Death Merchant

"Alexia!" Lin Fenghan roared, and the pile of rubble exploded! Dozens of thick, black tentacles surged forth from it. Lin Fenghan walked out with a grim expression, brushing aside his disheveled silver hair, his blood-red, date-shaped pupils shooting out a chilling light.

"Damn, Tang Tian, ​​I knew you were strong. Why didn't you try to steal the Veronica Virus? Turns out I'm the one who sticks my neck out." Lin Fenghan said to Tang Tian, ​​who was staring at the spotless ceiling that didn't exist. Ever since he met Tang Tian, ​​that despicable guy had only ever tried to take advantage of him.

"And what's more, she didn't get anything at all. The virus fused with her blood, and it would burn violently as soon as it came into contact with air, leaving nothing behind!" Lin Fenghan looked angrily at the burn marks on the ground, then at Tang Tian who was pretending to be naive. He felt as if a million grass mud horses were galloping through his heart.

"While being an enemy is the right thing to do, I admire you," Tang Tian said. He then took out a portion of the G-monster's body. Having undergone the G-virus's fission, his genes were completely optimized. Absorbing tens of thousands of genes was no joke; the result of tens of thousands of gene arrangements made Tang Tian's power incredibly strong. His new genes had fused with all the superpowers and the virus. Of course, the G-monster was still alive, so letting it continue to wreak havoc on the world wasn't a bad idea. Tang Tian naturally kept a portion of the G-monster's body for Lin Fenghan to absorb its superpowers. What superpowers Lin Fenghan would gain depended on how his genes integrated. After taking it out, Tang Tian quickly left.

Lin Fenghan licked his lips with amusement. He had long coveted Tang Tian's unique biological superpowers. If he were to obtain the Queen Ant and the plant DNA-modified T-Veronica, things would indeed become even more interesting.

"Hehehe, my luck is really good today... Next up is Alexia." Suddenly, countless brown, vine-like roots sprouted from beneath Lin Fenghan's feet, deeply embedding themselves in the floor beneath him. Then, they slowly disappeared into the ground.

"Awooo—!!!" Accompanied by a terrifying roar, the monster in the darkness suddenly unleashed a tremendous force, an force so immense that the high-strength alloy chains binding it shattered almost instantly, propelled by the force and sent flying, striking the surrounding walls and scattering sparks.

"Crackling sounds—" Suddenly, a violent transformation occurred on the monster's body in the darkness: bones cracked! Muscles swelled! Veins stretched! Three scythe-like tentacles burst through the skin from the sides and back of its body and grew rapidly!

"Clap clap clap..." A round of applause rang out, and then the lights were turned on, instantly illuminating the darkness as if it were daytime. The monster revealed its true form: dark green skin with some brown, its hands and feet were bound by thick leather, and even its eyes were covered with cloth. In its chest cavity was a large cavity, inside which a large, tangled mass of flesh trembled constantly, and three tentacles with sharp, scythe-like tips waving around.

“Alexander Ashford! The original true mastermind behind the Antarctic base and Rockford Island, often ostracized by Spencer and Marcus on the board, conceived the idea of ​​cultivating a genius offspring. In 1971, he used his own genes to artificially fertilize Alexia and Alfred, but they discovered your secret!” Lin Fenghan said, with Tang Tianlai beside him having found the failed Veronica virus infected body, and Alexander Ashford standing before him, Alexia’s father.

"Roar!" Alexander ignored what Lin Fenghan said and charged straight at him. His three scythe tentacles began to retract, gathering power like a taut bowstring, before suddenly shooting towards Lin Fenghan!

"I must say, Alexander, although you're a failed creation, your current abilities far surpass those of a typical successful Tyrant." Alexander's three tentacles pierced the alloy floor without hindrance, like a sharp blade piercing tofu. "Was it awakened and erupted because you heard Alfred's cries? I really didn't expect you to still have humanity," Lin Fenghan said disdainfully.

"Just a reminder, don't devour it all. Leave me a little." Tang Tian didn't make a move. Normally, Tang Tian would use energy weapons to attack and kill the super virus infected, which would definitely result in them being reduced to ashes. Now, Tang Tian could freely use gravity control to eliminate the infected. He didn't make a move simply because he didn't want to expose his strength too much.

"Hmph, I know, I'll give you credit for giving me your powers." Lin Feng snorted coldly. Although he wanted to kill this annoying guy, the guy had helped him in a way; after all, he was indebted to those who offered him food. Tang Tian smiled. After obtaining Alexia, he would stay in the Resident Evil world for a few days. After all, he had lived in the Resident Evil world for quite some time. Tang Tian had already decided on the next world: either the Spider-Man world or the Iron Man world, to continue harvesting all sorts of things. The arms trade had given Tang Tian a considerable amount of operating funds. After all, high-level politicians in other worlds would always be eager to acquire as much high technology as possible.

"Realize yourself, Alexander, become the life energy of my ultimate predator!" Upon hearing Lin Fenghan's voice, Tang Tian was instantly speechless. He saw Lin Fenghan's skin and muscles instantly split open from his throat to his lower abdomen, his entire front body splitting in two like a gaping maw. Countless black tentacles swarmed out from within, filled with sharp, white, serrated teeth—a complete devouring machine. "Is that power the perfect fusion of the extremely evil substance that invaded the realm of gods—the G-virus?" Tang Tian wondered to himself.

"Lin Fenghan unleashed tremendous power instantly, and Alexander was caught off guard and attacked. The huge swallowing maw on Lin Fenghan's chest opened wildly to its limit and then swallowed him whole!"

The giant jaws crunched and chewed frantically, while the enormous eye on Lin Fenghan's shoulder gleamed with greed as it stared at Tang Tian. Tang Tian completely ignored it.

"You were caught off guard and knocked out by Alexia's fiery sneak attack. So, you're paying for your daughter's debts. I know you definitely won't devour Alexia, since she's extremely useful to you or me," Tang Tian said, looking at the Veronica virus tissue sample in the test tube.

"Although I devoured your body that possessed viral abilities, the life energy I lost cannot be replenished," Lin Fenghan replied.

--- Divider ---

"Come out! You've been following me for a long time." Alexia walked on the high platform, suddenly turned around and shouted coldly.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to find out." A man wearing a black trench coat, black sunglasses, and with neatly combed blond hair smiled as he emerged from the shadows.

“You can call me Wesker. My purpose this time is for the boss to take you back.” Wesker spoke simply and directly, without a single wasted word.

“Wesker, what if I don’t want to go back? Your organization should give you an explanation, right?” Alexia, being the owner of Umbrella Corporation, then gave a strange laugh that seemed to echo in people’s hearts, causing Wesker’s pupils to contract slightly.

“So, the boss said that just recycling the virus is also acceptable.” A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Wesker’s golden pupils, and a syringe suddenly appeared in the right hand of the high-tech black glove that Tang Tian had given Wesker.

"Heh, I really don't plan to go back. Let's see who's stronger then," Alexia sneered, then stretched out his hands and slowly pushed them out of thin air, "Burn, flames!"

"Whoosh—" Alexia's white gloves turned to ash almost instantly, and two raging fire dragons roared violently from her palms, rushing towards the terrified Wesker with an unstoppable momentum that seemed to ignite everything.

"This...how is this possible!" Wesker's figure flashed and disappeared like smoke. The black trench coat that hadn't flashed was engulfed in flames and instantly turned to ashes.

Having escaped unscathed, Wesker now only wore a black combat bodysuit, staring in disbelief at Alexia, who casually withdrew her hands. If he hadn't dodged, he would have ended up like that trench coat.

“See that? Wesker, that’s the power of a god, a level you’ll never reach in your entire life, a level of perfect fusion with the virus. Only that person can rival me.” Alexia’s lips curled into a smile, and raging flames surged from her entire body. The flames engulfed her.

After Alexia mutated, her entire body was covered in an eerie emerald green. The green that emanated from deep within her skin was chilling to behold. Her entire right side was covered in hard, metallic, leaf-like objects, and even her hair had turned into thick leaves! Alexia's right eye mutated even more terrifyingly, crystal clear like a huge emerald bead, at least twice the size of her left eye, and the pupil was no longer visible.

"Hmph, this is the true power of the perfect fusion of viruses, this godlike power. Wesker, you and the company behind you don't deserve its power." Alexia turned to Wesker, her eyes filled with indifference and disdain.

After hearing Alexia's words, Wesker was also enraged. So, Wesker, who could no longer tolerate it, made a decision that he would think was idiotic when he was calm - to fight Alexia one-on-one.

With a "whoosh," Wesker's figure flashed several times, leaving a long afterimage, and appeared in front of Alexia. He clenched his right fist and pulled it back, striking Alexia's face with a piercing blast of air.

"Hmph, be reduced to ashes in the flames!" Alexia sneered, his five fingers curled and suddenly came together, then instantly pulled apart. Wesker watched as a fireball appeared out of nowhere, expanding and exploding from the point of contact between Alexia's palms!

"Boom!" The violent explosion sounded like thunder, shaking the entire platform and emitting a low hum.

Alexia performed a backflip and landed nimbly on the ground, the blasted flames silently swallowed up the moment they touched her body.

In contrast, Wesker was in a much worse state. He was blasted away by the violent explosion created by Alexia. His clothes were burned off by the flames, and his skin was charred black. Although it was slowly healing under the influence of the virus, he was still seriously injured.

Alexia then suddenly opened her clenched fists, revealing two fist-sized fireballs that appeared to be condensed in her palms. With a cold smile, Alexia tossed the two fireballs one after the other towards Wesker!

"Ah." Wesker was taken aback, not expecting Alexia to have such a long-range attack method, but he still managed to flash past like a shadow with his super speed.

With two loud "booms," the two fireballs exploded upon landing, each possessing the explosive force of a high-explosive grenade, accompanied by a large amount of scattered flames that could burn others. The soil stirred up by the blast wave was almost instantly burned into dry, black charcoal by the high temperature.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat Alexia and sensing that his boss had come in person, Wesker quickly retreated and left at his maximum speed.

"Very good, you are indeed worthy of our two factions' struggle." Lin Fenghan slowly emerged from underground, and his arms began to change instantly.

Alexia also took two steps back, his face showing a solemn expression. He felt that the power of the man named Lin Fenghan had become stronger again. Then, Alexia flipped his hands and launched two fireballs the size of basketballs that flew towards Lin Fenghan. Judging from their power, they were several times stronger than the ones he had used against Wesker earlier.

Lin Fenghan swiftly grabbed two fireballs in mid-air. The fireballs were initially large, but gradually shrank after being touched by Lin Fenghan, and were eventually completely absorbed. This felt very familiar to Alexia, much like the person with special abilities—Tang Tian.

"Hehe, surprised? That's right, it's part of that guy's body." Lin Fenghan smiled as he voiced Alexia's doubts.

“Just as I thought.” Alexia didn’t answer, but placed one hand in front of her. The flames were condensed to their limit, almost tangible, eerie like blood, and viscous. The high temperature distorted the surrounding air, forming a tornado-like storm. She then suddenly pushed forward, and a huge fireball tornado several meters wide rushed straight towards Lin Fenghan.

"Heh, have you forgotten me?" Tang Tian's discordant voice appeared in the darkness beside the two people's ears.

At that moment, Lin Fenghan and Alexia simultaneously felt an immense pressure from gravity. It felt as if every cell in their bodies was incredibly heavy. Because they were both non-human beings enhanced by the virus, they weren't crushed to the ground, but they were still suffering. Their movement was completely restricted. Simultaneously, the house where they were fighting was instantly crushed into fragments, collapsing as if hit by a missile, and the resulting massive fire tornado suffered the same fate.

Lin Fenghan was also surprised by Tang Tian's sudden attack. Lin Fenghan used his newly acquired telekinesis to counteract Tang Tian's five-fold gravity control. Alexia released even more flames to counteract the gravity within her body. "Surprised? My superpower is arguably the most powerful superpower, and you're both currently within my domain," Tang Tian said, looking at the two people who were unable to move under the pressure.

“You’ve finally shown up, the one who was hiding. The company Wesker mentioned must be yours.” Alexia said, looking at the man in front of her who looked like an arms dealer, dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses.

“That’s right, Wesker is my subordinate. You are very strong; even he can’t beat you,” Tang Tian replied.

"Lin Fenghan also wants to thank you for letting me understand the power of Alexia. I once said that I would give you great power. Now my words have come true. I'll give you some time now, because I'm leaving this plane soon." Tang Tian revealed that he was not a person from this plane.

"Could it be that you're not from this world? If so, then why were you able to rise to prominence in just a few months...?" Lin Fenghan slowly began to understand the reason for Tang Tian's rise.

“That’s right. This world isn’t a single entity; it’s made up of countless planes. This is the fifth plane I’ve arrived in, and I’ve basically obtained everything I wanted,” Tang Tian said.

"Why are you telling me all this? What is your purpose?" Lin Fenghan asked immediately.

"My purpose? Perhaps I'm also searching for powerful individuals, because interdimensional travel is too dangerous. I need more powerful people to go with me. Speaking of which, I still have a mechanical octopus army and a lot of space weapons that I haven't used yet," Tang Tian said after thinking for a moment.

"So you need strong partners to form your alliance, and also to go to other planes and obtain even greater power, just like the special superpowers within your body," Lin Fenghan said.

"That's right. If you want to gain even greater power, come find me at the Washington Iron Warlords headquarters." After saying that, Tang Tian took Alexia and flew away at supersonic speed, leaving Lin Fenghan in deep thought.

There is a huge cave in the rocky cliffs of Africa, which is also filled with an endless stream of bio-infected creatures. Because of their bloodthirsty nature, they frequently attack the three people, but none of them return. They are all devoured by one of the white-haired youths.

"Brother Tian, ​​I think what we need is just ahead," Lin Fenghan said calmly to Tang Tian beside him.

"Lin Fenghan, why do I sense that you're very excited right now? Could it be that the original viral plant is really that powerful?" Tang Tiandao said.

“That’s right, the power of ‘Origin’ and ‘Ancestor’ is extremely strong. It’s a good thing. You will see the origin of everything. I can already smell their fragrance here. If you devour it, you will slowly evolve into a god,” Lin Fenghan said excitedly.

"Heh, it seems you don't understand the true meaning of 'god.' The strong in this plane aren't particularly powerful. The gods you speak of will be as common as cabbages in the next plane we go to." Tang Tian's words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling Lin Fenghan to the bone. So, the strong in the next plane are as plentiful as dogs!

That's right, they've arrived at the origin of everything, the culprit behind countless biochemical leaks since the successful research of the biochemical virus thirty years ago. Because the first ancestral virus was extracted from its leaves, and that plant is... the 'Sun Ladder'.

At the end of this cave passage lies a vast underground plaza. Magnet lights hanging from the top of the stone walls illuminate the entire plaza as bright as day. The plaza is low and flat on all sides, but in the center protrudes a four-cornered structure resembling an altar, covered with a dense mass of strange and eerie plants—the legendary "Stairway to the Sun" plants.

[May 15th is almost here! I hope to continue my efforts to climb the 515 Red Envelope Ranking, and on May 15th, I can give back to readers with a red envelope rain and promote my work. Every little bit helps, and I'll definitely update harder!]

At the end of this cave passage lies a vast underground plaza. Magnet lights hanging from the top of the stone walls illuminate the entire plaza as bright as day. The plaza is low and flat on all sides, but in the center protrudes a four-cornered structure resembling an altar, covered with a dense mass of strange and eerie plants—the legendary "Stairway to the Sun" plants.

The three slowly ascended the steps of the altar, finally seeing up close the plants that represented evil and darkness—their flowers had red outer petals and bright yellow inner petals, appearing crystal clear, and the entire flower was shaped like the sun, hence the name 'Stairway to the Sun'. These strange plants had only a handful of leaves, the rest being dense, thorny vines resembling roots.

These vines are quite terrifying. Some of the "Stairway to the Sun" plants are tall and robust, clearly quite powerful. Their vines pierce several smaller "Stairway to the Sun" plants nearby, causing the latter's leaves to wither and turn yellow, as if they have been drained dry...

"Lin Fenghan helped me create a sample of the 'Sun Ladder,' the progenitor of biochemical viruses. You can then consume them at will," Tang Tian said calmly.

"Understood," Lin Fenghan replied.

"Shhh—" The tallest and thickest "Stairway to the Sun" on the altar seemed to know its fate, pulling all its vines out of the soil and attacking Lin Fenghan head-on. It also occasionally pulled up the smaller "Stairways to the Sun" next to it, throwing them at Lin Fenghan with soil. However, Lin Fenghan easily blocked them all with his telekinetic power.

Tang Tian, ​​Lin Fenghan, and Alexia's ultimate goal is simple: to destroy this world when they leave. Now they have reached the final step, and the war to destroy the world is about to begin.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"You're the one—the tallest one!" Lin Fenghan slowly walked towards the top of the altar, emanating a powerful aura of viral infection. He had already fused with many viruses, including Veronica's. The low-lying "Sun Staircases" around him wriggled and struggled in the soil, trying to move away from Lin Fenghan. The taller, stronger ones stretched out their vines towards him, hoping to grab him and absorb nutrients to evolve themselves, but Lin Fenghan effortlessly repelled them with his telekinetic power. No matter how advanced a plant's evolution is, it's still a plant. It cannot be compared to a highly mobile animal.

"Shhh—" The tallest and thickest "Stairway to the Sun" on the altar seemed to know its fate, pulling all its vines out of the soil and attacking Lin Fenghan head-on. It also occasionally pulled up the smaller "Stairways to the Sun" next to it, throwing them at Lin Fenghan with soil, but it was all easily blocked.

"To put it bluntly, you're not even as powerful as that Plant No. 42 I encountered in Raccoon City. If it weren't for the fact that your virus was the purest, it could have served as a sample for Tang Tian." Lin Fenghan curled his lip in disdain and easily pulled the "Solar Ladder" out completely with his telekinesis.

Lin Fenghan then placed the "Solar Ladder" plant into a pre-prepared cryogenic incubator. This allowed him to obtain a viral plant cell division clone. The Matrix's cloning technology was quite advanced, and combined with the Deep Space Amnesia cryogenic incubator, these plants could be mass-produced for continued virus research. When Tang Tian left, he would certainly take all his subordinates with him to continue developing in other dimensions.

A massive rift split open from Lin Fenghan's chest to his lower abdomen. Like a mouth, it revealed snow-white teeth and crimson, tongue-like tentacles that slung themselves over his small "Sun Ladder" plant and indiscriminately stuffed it inside…

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—" This series of shrill screams was the final lament of the "Solar Staircase" rubbing against its leaves. The next second, it disappeared into Lin Fenghan's body, devoured and decomposed by Lin Fenghan's phagocytic cells, which then began to analyze the virus and strengthen itself...

“Alright, let’s move on to the next step of the plan,” Tang Tian said, and Alexia and Lin Fenghan nodded in agreement, since they were almost done.

--- Divider ---

Tang Tian and his two companions strolled across the boundless grassland, watching the leisurely animals and lush, tall grass around them. Tang Tian nodded: "Let's start the plan here. The world will end soon, but no one will care. Anyway, we're leaving here."

Lin Fenghan pointed to the sky. A terrifying, overwhelming aura surged from his body, causing the animals that had been leisurely foraging nearby to immediately halt, their still-unconscious eyes filled with terror. "Very well, come out, Abyss," Tang Tian said to the ground. A massive, thousand-meter-long ball of flesh appeared, brimming with malevolent power. "Lin Fenghan, devour it, so you can get closer to my power," Tang Tian's menacing voice rang out.

"Inhale—" Lin Fenghan took a deep breath, his chest and abdomen bulging high. Countless thick, dark gray plant roots pierced through the soles of my shoes and extended from beneath my feet, deeply embedding themselves in the fertile soil. He inhaled frantically—

Within a radius of tens of square kilometers around Lin Fenghan, the once lush vegetation seemed to have been drained of all its nutrients in an instant. The once robust plants withered and shriveled rapidly, turning into fine powder with a gust of wind. Even the fertile soil quickly turned gray and barren.

"Bloom...Stairway to the Sun!" Lin Fenghan stretched out his arms, and with a deafening roar, his body instantly transformed into a giant "Stairway to the Sun" plant covered with countless branches and vines!
