Marvel's Death Merchant

Countless animals desperately fled in all directions. The spot where Lin Fenghan stood was now occupied by a cluster of intertwined, pressing green branches. They stretched and expanded wildly, radiating outwards towards the giant fleshy ball in front of him, G-Abyss. G-Abyss, as the monster body that split off from Tang Tian, ​​was connected to Tang Tian and possessed powerful abilities. Of course, after Tang Tian injected and devoured all the viruses, Tang Tian evolved once again, and his strength gradually approached the power to open a simulated black hole using gravity. Even a 2 million-ton nuclear bomb would only be swallowed up. Tang Tian not only had a powerful physique but also possessed so much high technology, making him extremely powerful.

"Attack! Another volley of shells to sweep the ground! Those vines and branches are about to attack!" The UN commander roared hoarsely, and shells were fired into the endless black fog like they were free, but they disappeared without a trace, like mud oxen sinking into the sea, without even a ripple...

Chapter 483 The Complete Dream (16)

P.S. Here's today's update. Also, please vote for me in the '515 Fan Festival. Everyone gets 8 votes, and there are even more to vote for! I'm begging for your support and appreciation!

"Boom!" Correspondingly, after the shells had no effect and were completely absorbed, the original plants of the Sun Staircase in the black mist quickly launched their counterattack. Countless emerald green vines, hundreds of meters thick, swept over like a tsunami, devouring everything before anyone could react, turning all the soldiers into their life energy, including the metal on their bodies...

Suddenly, a series of alarms sounded from the Iron Warlords. Upon hearing this, Wesker and Dr. William smiled simultaneously: "Boss Donald's plan has succeeded."

The previously dark LCD screen in front of the two suddenly lit up, displaying a virtual world map, though the map was completely distorted.

Every location on the map was covered by eerie green triangles representing the bioweapon of a variant of rabies virus, a weapon of the steel warlords. Countless yellow lines, serving as launch trajectories, obscured the sky, creating a dizzying spectacle.

Tang Tian watched this beautiful day unfold. As a transdimensional traveler, Tang Tian was never a good person. As the saying goes, villains should have the awareness of villains, and that's exactly what Tang Tian did.

"All the branch bases of America's steel warlords launched 14,000 intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying warheads containing mutated rabies and mutated T-virus biochemical viruses. At the same time, laboratories in other places launched nearly 50,000. Various mutated biochemical viruses, which have been breeding for more than three years, are enough to spread to every corner of the world. No one can escape, not even the heads of state. Let the world be more peaceful." Tang Tian said with a smile, looking at the scene before him.

Inside a luxurious villa in the Iron Man superhero universe.

"Tang, are you really going to the Swiss capital to attend that conference?" a stunning blonde woman asked a handsome, dark-haired young man in a suit beside her.

"Why not? Besides, we're here to find talent, and it seems that the genius weapons designer and playboy, Tony Stark, is also here." Tang Tian said with a smile to his woman, Alexia.

"Tang Tian, ​​it seems you've found some valuable talent again." Lin Fenghan leaned back lazily in his chair, looking like a legendary decadent youth. His eyes were devoid of any light. Lin Fenghan had absorbed a large amount of energy from the Resident Evil, and his genes were now fully optimized, making him nearly half the strength of Tang Tian.

The reason Tang Tian is so powerful is because his constant challenges against powerful bosses during his travels across four dimensions rapidly increased his strength. In addition, Tang Tian possesses the ability to absorb energy, allowing him to devour vast amounts of energy and integrate all the powerful viruses from the Resident Evil series. Now, Tang Tian can unleash a gravity field thousands of times stronger than normal, enough to crush ordinary powerful individuals into a pulp. Even if those powerful individuals appear strong on the outside, their internal organs are still fragile.

It's that banquet in Iron Man 3. At the end, the crazy genius scientist who was the boss in Iron Man 3 will definitely come up to Tony and ask him to invest in his research.

As seen in the movie, Tony Stark, drunk, met a beautiful female plant scientist and went off to have sex, leaving Aldridge Chillyn stranded on the rooftop overnight. This resulted in Iron Man's embarrassing third movie. Before becoming a hero, Tony Stark was known for being a spendthrift and a rich kid, but this spendthrift was actually a genius.

"Yes. This time we've found a scientist who could be a genius or a madman," Tang Tian said to Lin Fenghan.

"Hmm, by the way, Tang Tian, ​​you must know something, that's why you're sending Wesker to find that mutant leader called Magneto." Lin Fenghan was very puzzled by this. He was already very powerful, so why did he need to win over the forces in this dimension?

"Of course, I'm not actually from this dimension, and don't underestimate the people here. I know this dimension quite well; it's arguably the most powerful of all dimensions. All sorts of superheroes are here, so we can't afford to be as cautious as we are in the Resident Evil dimension. We're trying to win over forces in this dimension because we need a biological weapons legion and a large amount of DNA. Also, I want you to acquire it from Peter Parker's company. Our influence in this dimension is newly established, so be careful," Tang Tian said seriously to Alexia and Lin Fenghan.

"Understood, Tang Tian, ​​I will go." Lin Fenghan nodded and walked out.

"Come on, honey, let's go board the plane. We're going to Switzerland. Go, go, go." After the bodyguard stopped the car, Tang Tian excitedly took Alexia's hand and got into the car. To be honest, Tang Tian didn't like those worthless, pretty-faced women. He preferred strong women, and Alexia was just the right fit.

If one observed Tang Tian closely, they would discover that fully armed mercenaries were secretly protecting him in various hidden corners. After all, as the second-largest arms dealer in the US military after Stark, and also as a "merchant of death," Tang Tian owned the world's most powerful high-tech weapons manufacturing company. How could he not have his own people protecting him?

After Tang Tian got off the car, a private jet appeared, a plane that Tang Tian had bought for 100 million US dollars. Moreover, it was filled with plenty of alcohol and offered a luxurious experience.

Bern, the capital of Switzerland, 5 p.m., at the conference hotel.

"Tony, you're something else. You reek of alcohol and kept me waiting all day, right on time. Okay, you're going to give your speech in ten minutes. Are you even fit to give a speech? And I have to meet with a partner in New York tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. to discuss business. Oh, damn it, Tony, can't you just listen to me properly?" As soon as we entered the hotel, Pepper Potts rushed over, clutching a light blue folder and chattering incessantly.

"Okay, goodbye." Tony said with a grin, his eyes half-closed and still a little drunk.

"Oh God, all that talk is for nothing. Rod Tony is in your hands now. The flight is almost here." Pepper Potts sighed and covered her forehead, looking at Tony's expression.

"Oh, Pepper's finally gone. How was it, Rhodes? I did a good job, didn't I?" After confirming that Pepper was gone, Tony changed his previous drunken state and laughed loudly at Major Rhodes beside him, but the pungent smell of alcohol was still hard to hide.

[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!]

Chapter 484 The Complete Dream (17)

[Steel Fist Branch in the Washington, D.C. Area]

"War Fist, it's time to test your abilities. Shadow, your mission is to go to Baghlan Air Base in Afghanistan, where Mr. Donald disappeared. Your task is to find Mr. Donald's location. Also, if Mr. Donald has been kidnapped, eliminate everyone there... You must ensure Mr. Donald's safety." Audrich Qilianan, now the head of the Biological Weapons Research Institute at the Iron Fist branch, said coldly and angrily. Tang Tian had given Audrich Qilianan everything; to Qilianan, Tang Tian's life was even more important than his own. Of course, Qilianan didn't know that Tang Tian had already made contact with the Middle East branch, but that information was being kept secret.

“Yes, sir.” Before Audrich Chilian stood a group of about twenty men dressed in tight black suits, each with a black bio-chemical symbol on their chest. They all wore sunglasses, beneath which lay hidden, blood-red eyes. A chilling aura emanated from them; they seemed devoid of emotion, devoid of humanity. These soldiers showed no other feelings, only pure killing intent. They were devoid of thought, desire, or fear—like… a group of soulless killing machines. This was one of the Iron Fist's secret units—the Shadow Force.

"And you all need to hurry, I'm only giving you one day." Audrich Chilian then opened the satellite map, which contained a topographical map of the area where Tang Tian disappeared. The members of the Shadow Force looked at it and marked the surrounding mountains with dots, indicating that they had memorized it. They also marked every other area with a red dot in their minds. As the most successful biological weapon of the Iron Fist, these people were almost omnipotent.

Furthermore, these individuals' bodies have been enhanced by William with a perfect fusion of the T and G viruses. Their cells automatically and continuously simulate and assimilate according to the environment, adjusting their resilience to the maximum limit. Moreover, because they have suffered the same type of damage each time, they become immune to that type of attack—for example, someone shot by a pistol or machine gun. The viral cells memorize the level of threat and adjust accordingly. Even more terrifying is that these individuals continuously strengthen themselves through passive attacks until they eliminate the enemy.

--- Divider ---

The Shadow Force quickly disembarked and rushed to several suspected locations, finally confirming that signs of life had been found on the armed personnel 15 kilometers away. After careful assessment, the Shadow Force commander was 99% certain that this was the location of the company boss.

The Shadow Force had barely arrived outside the terrorist army when they heard commotion emanating from the heavily guarded cave. Upon hearing the noise, the Shadow Force transformed into streaks of light, leaping over the military supplies blocking their path and sprinting towards the cave at 50 meters per second.

"Ah, Lusaka..." Upon discovering the Shadow Force, the soldiers guarding outside the cave screamed in terror, their submachine guns firing wildly, creating dense streaks of fire that crisscrossed towards the Shadow Force members.

But then, something terrifying happened to the soldiers. The unfamiliar mercenaries who had stormed their camp fired bullets at them with a clanging sound, as if hitting steel plates. Then, with a snap, the barrel of a gun was smashed in two by a single blow from a mercenary. Several loose parts and springs bounced on the ground with a clattering sound, followed by a loud bang. The screams of the terrorists whose bones were cracking echoed one after another; their sternums were broken. They coughed up beads of blood that flew through the air before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

Upon seeing this, the terrorists, though aware they couldn't win, quickly picked up their submachine guns and fired wildly at the Shadow Force, who had already eliminated hundreds of people. Shell casings fell from their bodies in droves, but each time they were just a hair's breadth away from being dodged. Moreover, these people barely used guns, only melee weapons and their bare hands to break into the cave.

The burly man with the smug beard was furious, his face flushed red. Seeing these miraculous people, he looked as if he'd encountered a ghost, his eyes filled with disbelief. He quickly recovered, grabbed a phone beside him, and dialed. Then he rattled off a long string of words.

There was no need to warn them, because the people inside the cave had already heard the gunfire outside and began trying to stop the Shadow Force from entering. At this moment, something went wrong inside the cave where Stark, Tang Tian, ​​and the others were being held. The terrorists mostly opened fire, but it wasn't very effective; the Shadow Force swept in with overwhelming force.

---------------------------------- Divider ----------------------------------

Inside the cave. The place where terrorists were storing Stark missiles.

Hou Yinsen and Tang Tian, ​​under Stark's instructions, were pressing keys on the computer to activate the power system of the first-generation Mark-powered steel armor.

"It sounds like gunfire outside. We're inside, so why are so many shots being fired outside?" Stark asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe they're just trying to scare us. We don't care about that, they're about to burst in." Hou Yinsen's forehead was covered in sweat.

"Almost there, almost there," Stark muttered to himself, the progress bar on his computer already pointing to fifty percent.

“There’s not enough time!” Hou Yinsen stared at the computer screen, then turned to Stark and said, “Hey, I’ll go buy some time and stick to the plan.”

"No, wait for me. Remember, don't let me sacrifice myself in vain." Tang Tian didn't look at the two of them after saying that. He picked up a submachine gun and frantically pulled the trigger like Hou Yinsen in the movie, rushing out of the cave. Tang Tian could already sense the arrival of his secret force.

Tang Tian easily dealt with the terrorists using telekinesis. The terrorists who were hit by the telekinetic attack rolled their eyes back and bled from their seven orifices. At this moment, twenty mercenaries with cold and emotionless demeanor walked into view. They had no weapons, but their hands were filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Boss." The captain of the Shadow Squad and his teammates stood respectfully in front of Tang Tian, ​​seeing that he was unharmed.

"Very good, you did a good job. Now I order you to come out now and, except for the two people who came out of the cave, exterminate all other creatures in this place," Tang Tian said coldly.

"Yes, boss." The voice remained emotionless, but it was clear that the slaughter had begun.

Chapter 485 The Complete Dream (18)

The terrorists outside were being relentlessly slaughtered. Tang Tian had already ordered the Shadow Force to wipe them out completely. The Shadow Force was a secret unit directly controlled by the Iron Fist Company. In addition to this special team, several other special squads were being secretly manufactured in large numbers, the so-called Dark Army. Tang Tian didn't go back directly because he wanted to test Qi Lian'an's reaction to his disappearance. The result seemed to him to be quite good. The company's ability to block information in the Middle East was too strong. Those who truly understood Tang Tian's character knew that he was not easy to deal with.

Inside the cave, Stark and Hou Yinsen nervously watched the progress bar on the computer. The intense gunfire outside made them increasingly tense. Finally, the progress bar reached 100%, and all the lights in the cave dimmed, plunging it into complete darkness. The first Iron Man was born. Stark, wearing the bulky, rough Iron Man suit, began to walk.

At this moment, Stark approached Tang Tian. Seeing many mercenaries in black surrounding him, slaughtering the terrorists, Stark immediately realized they were on his side and felt a slight sense of relief. Having shared so much of this tragic period together, Stark truly considered Tang Tian a friend. Just then, more terrorists rushed in, their guns creating a metallic storm. But a strange thing happened: all the bullets seemed to freeze, not advancing an inch. Although Stark didn't know what was happening, he acted at that moment. With a 'bang,' a terrorist was sent flying 10 meters by a single punch from Stark, who was clad in his Iron Man suit. Tang Tian silently nodded, observing the power of the Iron Man suit, feeling that this trip hadn't been in vain after obtaining all the information. This place was definitely going to be destroyed, because it had just been hit by a proton annihilation bomb; a radius of 5 kilometers would be wiped out, and no one could survive. Of course, Tang Tian would do this after he left.

---------------------------------- Divider ----------------------------------

Then a fierce gunshot erupted, and Stark, who was in front, was hit. Sparks flew across the Iron Man suit. Although the first-generation Iron Man suit that Stark made was of abysmal quality, its defense was still barely adequate.

“Silverson, stay behind me and Tang’s mercenaries. Don’t worry. No matter what, their bullets won’t hit you,” Stark said to Silverson beside him.

Stunned, Yin Sen asked, "Tang, how did your men manage that?"

"They are mercenaries made up of mutants." Tang Tian casually offered a reason, which actually explained it quite well. It wasn't him using telekinesis just now, but rather the Shadow Squad members using viral abilities, like Alice, the female protagonist in Resident Evil. Moreover, these members all possess viral abilities, so calling them mutants wouldn't be wrong.

"Oh, I see," Hou Yinsen replied, seemingly understanding, because he had also heard about mutants in America...

The number of terrorist casualties continued to rise, and the fear in their eyes grew increasingly intense as they faced these seemingly invincible and unpredictable enemies. The bullets rained down even more heavily. However, the bullets couldn't penetrate Stark's suit or the psychic barrier created by the Shadow Forces; they were merely struck by the combined psychic power of the Shadow Forces. Essentially, hundreds of terrorists died instantly.

Stark and Tang Tian had reached the cave entrance, where a dozen or so terrorists armed with submachine guns stood in a line, blocking their way. There were undoubtedly more terrorists on their way from elsewhere. However, it was clear this was a self-inflicted humiliation. A mental shockwave struck, instantly killing them all—their eyes rolled back, blood flowed from their seven orifices, and they were dead beyond any doubt.

As he was about to leave, Tony Stark used a flamethrower to detonate all the weapons at the entrance, completely destroying the terrifying base as revenge.

"Let's go. Tang, Yinsen, let's go, it's about to explode." Stark said nervously to the two of them, seeing that the terrorist reinforcements had arrived. He also spoke to the black-clad mercenaries nearby. Upon hearing this, the two nodded simultaneously, indicating that they understood.

"Use the Iron Man suit's flight function and go first," Tang Tian said, looking at the two small jets on Stark's lower legs. The kind of flight seen in the movies was definitely achievable.

"And what about you guys?" Stark asked, looking at the twenty-odd people in front of him.

“Don’t worry, Yinsen and I will go to the mercenary’s armed helicopter 100 meters ahead. Also, you need to contact the US military base here first, and don’t mention the mutants,” Tang Tian said seriously.

"Okay, I understand. Be careful." Stark nodded and flew towards the US military base. Tang Tian also slowly walked to the helicopter. However, Stark's helicopter, due to insufficient power and the disappearance of its jet propulsion, crashed near the base. Fortunately, it was a sandy area below. Upon landing, Stark's first-generation Iron Man suit was smashed to pieces, with broken parts scattered everywhere. If Tang Tian were there at this moment, he would definitely be speechless and would surely say, "What the hell is this...?"

Meanwhile, Tang Tian, ​​Hou Yinsen, the Shadow Force, and others comfortably enjoyed the scenery and delicious food aboard the helicopter. Then, out of sight of others, Tang Tian coldly took out a detonator and pressed the red button. Inside the terrorist's cave, a tiny calculator was slowly dissipating. However, one thing was certain: a beautiful, pale purple sphere of light would soon rise within a five-kilometer radius of the desert…

In the afternoon, the helicopter landed directly at the company in the Washington area, leaving the Shadow Force and Hou. Yinsen there. Hou. Yinsen also agreed to work there for Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian was very satisfied. Then they went to a more advanced American military base, because they needed to show the military high command that they were safe.

"Hey guys, you're back too!" Rhodey was thrilled to have successfully found the last arms dealer. Meanwhile, at Bagran Air Force Base, Major General Smith, upon learning of Tony Stark and Tang Tian's return, excitedly ordered his guards to immediately fetch champagne to celebrate. Tang Tian was also quite satisfied with his time there; building good relationships with the Avengers members was crucial, as he still had a considerable amount of time in this dimension. Tang Tian was a greedy individual and wouldn't leave until he had obtained as many benefits as possible, just like in the Resident Evil dimension of the ruins resource development dimension.

Chapter 486 The Complete Dream (19)

Just as all the reporters at the scene were seated, Stark began to deliver his announcement in a serious and earnest manner, and Tang Tian listened attentively.

Stark began by recounting his father's views on arms production, and how he witnessed young soldiers dying from weapons manufactured by his own company. Obadiah, sitting next to Stark, sensed something was amiss at the press conference, and his expression darkened slightly.

So Obama sold weapons to terrorist organizations, hoping to use this opportunity to eliminate Stark, but he failed. The terrorists were wiped out for unknown reasons, leaving only ruins. Furthermore, he believed that everything he wanted from the company he started with Stark's father was ultimately taken by Stark. Stark's next words completely changed his expression.

At this moment, Tang Tian saw Stark stand up and gestured for Tang Tian to come over. The two walked onto the stage together and loudly announced, "I think Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing department needs someone who can contribute to the world. Therefore, I have decided that Stark Industries will cooperate deeply with Mr. Donald, the chairman of Warfist Corporation. I think entrusting Stark's weapons division to him can prevent more things from harming the world."

Immediately, thunderous applause erupted in the arena. Obadi's face had turned ashen. He hadn't expected Stark to hand over the most profitable weapons division to Tang Tian. This time, it was practically impossible to get it back. Obadi had some informants, but he knew Tang Tian's power was far greater than it appeared. Iron Fist's influence extended to the political, business, and military spheres, and it was constantly expanding. Any company that opposed Iron Fist never fared well, and the chairman of this company never suffered a loss; those who did were always dead.

News like Tony Stark's was absolutely a shot in the arm for Stark Industries. That morning, Stark's stock skyrocketed, shocking shareholders who then erupted in cheers, ultimately resulting in a gain of over 500%. Tang Tian was very satisfied with acquiring many of Stark's weapons experts and skilled workers, and with his good relationship with Stark. He had essentially gotten everything he wanted.

Mutants exist in the Marvel universe. These are people born with chromosomal mutations, and the superpowers that mutants possess are infinitely possible.

The mutant forces are led by two groups: Magneto, who leads the mutant resistance, and Professor X-Men, whose backing is the powerful US government. Then there's the terrifying Level 5 telekinetic mutant, Dark Phoenix. Tang Tian certainly wouldn't support those so-called mutants who claim to be fighting for humanity. Not only do he see them as traitors, but he also dislikes heroes; heroes often face thankless tasks and sacrifice. One of Tang Tian's goals is to obtain their DNA. His subordinate, Wesker, has already made contact with the mutant Mystique and is preparing to rescue Magneto.

"How's the plan going? The boss has already dispatched a secret force. We need to ensure this plan goes flawlessly." A blond man with sunglasses, exuding a powerful and chilling aura, said. Beside him were the special forces who had once saved Tang Tian. The captain of this operation was Albert Wesker. As the boss of Resident Evil, he himself possessed considerable strength in fusing with the virus. Moreover, this operation also involved a special force that had obtained a new virus researched by William. Furthermore, he had undergone viral enhancement and gained the superpower he had always dreamed of, so the chances of success were extremely high.

“Mr. Wesker, the plan has already been arranged.” After Mystique finished speaking, she went on to explain the plan for this rescue operation and the reasons for the previous failure. “I have found out the details. Eric is being held in a special plastic prison inside the Department of Defense base. I have taken many actions, but unfortunately all of them have failed. The surveillance and encirclement measures there are very tight.”

“The most recent time, I successfully injected some iron into the body of a fat prison guard through transformation. I originally thought that the iron in his body could indirectly save Eric. As long as Eric got enough iron, he could get out successfully. But I underestimated those people…” Mystique said regretfully.

“Alright, basic information. I understand. Leave the rest to us. Your task is to find the remaining Rebel mutants,” Albert Wesker interrupted Mystique, his face still expressionless. He wasn't worried at all; as an employee of Iron Fist, he was well aware of his company's immense power. Wesker had secretly contacted the spy network infiltrating the area. And this spy had released a super-powerful AI virus program; the camera problem here was a minor issue.

Mystique nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Only by rescuing our leader, Eric, can we succeed."

"Yes, let's begin." Wesker opened his eyes, which emitted an astonishing blood-red light.

A member of the special forces in combat gear next to them turned on a futuristic-looking watch. A virtual projector suddenly popped out, and the operatives looked at the information on the projector with perfect understanding. It was a map of the base's layout given to them by a spy, as well as the structure of Magneto's prison, information on the management personnel, shift change times, and so on—very detailed indeed.

Wesker learned from the information that the innermost part of the prison where Magneto was held was made of plastic, while the main structure outside was built of cement and concrete, without any metal components. This prevented Magneto from escaping, but it was insignificant to Wesker. Wherever Wesker and the Shadow team passed, all that remained were police officers who were instantly killed.
