Marvel's Death Merchant

"Michael, you'll be working with me for a while, partly to protect you. Those things definitely won't let you go; you have something they want on you," Tang Tian casually reminded him. Vampires and werewolves are nothing compared to them, who can destroy the universe, so they're only here to obtain something.

“Yes, sir, I’m happy to serve you.” Michael said earnestly. After all, he knew how terrifying vampires and werewolves were. He had seen a werewolf controlled by Tang Tian once before, so he was very happy to be able to get protection from him.

“Very good, there’s something here that needs your attention, and that’s what makes things more interesting.” Tang Tian waved his hand, indicating that Michael should come over. In reality, Tang Tian was preparing to study the perfect blood in Michael’s body.

“Okay, no problem, it’s what I should do.” Michael said affirmatively. Tang Tian had been so good to him, he was sure he would repay the kindness.

Michael possesses the immortal blood of Alexander the Great, the progenitor of the immortals, and contains the invisible power of Alexander's immortal blood. He experiences birth, aging, sickness, and death like ordinary humans, but if a special gene enters his cells, it activates the power of the perfect blood, granting Michael considerable strength. Alexander's third son was essentially like an ordinary person, and his descendants remained the same for centuries. However, Michael possesses vampire and werewolf genes, clearly demonstrating the effects of the perfect blood.

Upon entering another room, Tang Tian released countless robots from his inner world, quickly calming the area. He transformed an ordinary house into a laboratory, with test tubes on the table containing T-viruses, G-viruses, Veronica viruses, rabies viruses, and even genes from Marvel comics such as Wolverine, Hulk, Red Giant, Iceman, Scarlet Witch, and Thor—viruses and genes obtained from movie and game worlds.

Michael stared curiously at the various viruses and genes on the table. He wondered what Michael would think if he knew these were super-genes that made vampires and werewolves envious, and even world-destroying viruses. These were all treasures Tang Tian had collected from various worlds, acquired after much effort.

"Michael, you can go and study these first. These are ordinary cells over there. You can see how those things affect the cells," Tang Tian said calmly. He wanted Michael to learn about those things, since they might be essential for his future research.

"Okay, boss, I understand." Michael prepared to test the situation in the test tube according to Tang Tian's instructions. Tang Tian was about to use the power of his divine essence to deduce something even more powerful.

Michael began conducting experiments according to Tang Tian's orders. He placed normal cells in a dish, then added the T-virus and observed the cells' reactions. Because the virus was secretly controlled by Tang Tian's atomic shield, there was no fear of leakage. Whether it was a virus or the genes of the Marvel Ultimate Universe, leakage would create different vampires and werewolves.

"Boss, what is that? The cells were barely out when they were already being devoured by that thing called the T virus." Michael discovered this phenomenon after injecting the T virus into ordinary cells, and he was greatly surprised. In his understanding, only cancer cells might have that ability; other viruses shouldn't possess such capabilities.

"That's the T-virus. It's probably the worst item in all my collection," Tang Tian said calmly, glancing at the surprised look on Michael's face.

The T-virus, being a cheap product in the Marvel universe, is certainly good. However, it could also be considered the worst; other viruses, including those with superior genes, may function better than the T-virus, and this difference likely leads to different outcomes.

Michael was also excited. As an ordinary person, when would he ever see such extraordinary things? So, besides curiosity, Michael had other thoughts. Such things were not something one saw very often.

"Boss, I've discovered something special about these viruses. After coming into contact with other cells, some are infected and assimilated, while others can perfectly fuse with them. These viruses are truly incredible!" Michael said in disbelief, having discovered something different after coming into contact with these viruses.

"Really? It seems you do have some knowledge. Otherwise, you wouldn't know the characteristics of the T-virus," Tang Tian said calmly, his tone devoid of any other meaning.

"Those legendary vampires and werewolves are actually completely different from your ancestors in origin." Tang Tian thought for a moment and then told Michael some things.

"Really? Boss, you actually know about my ancestors?" Michael was still a little surprised, so he didn't know what to say.

"Yes, the so-called werewolves and vampires, including you, are all descendants of Alexander the Great. You all share the same ancestor. They all possess eternal life, and all his sons are still alive. The reason you became their target is because your ancestor was also his son. The reason they found you is because of the hidden perfect blood within you," Tang Tian said calmly, letting Michael digest the information he had received.

"So, boss, what do you need me to do?" Michael asked firmly, looking up.

Chapter 569 First Apostle Michael

Because he was about to establish a divine kingdom, he needed many apostles, who were his direct subordinates. The existence of a divine kingdom required immense power, and Tang Tian's ultimate goal was to establish a super civilization that flowed through multiple universes. Although everything was just beginning, Tang Tian already possessed that potential.

Tang Tian didn't speak, but instead began telling Michael the history of vampires and werewolves. Long ago, there was a man who survived a plague and discovered he had immunity to disease. He was the true originator of all vampires and werewolves: Alexander Corvinus. He had at least three sons, two of whom were William and Marcus. William became the progenitor of werewolves after being bitten by a wolf, while Marcus became the progenitor of vampires after being bitten by a bat. However, as a white werewolf, William lacked self-awareness; those bitten by him would become werewolves, but like William, they would lose their reason, be unable to revert to human form, and be contagious.

Marcus sought help from a dying lord named Victor, granting him unlimited life in exchange for his help in controlling William. The promise was that killing William would either kill him or cause the deaths of all vampires and werewolves. Through their efforts, they captured William. Victor wanted to imprison William, but Marcus pleaded against it, though he lacked real power within the vampire army and his persuasion failed.

A century later, the battle between vampires and werewolves continues. The world is still inhabited by the noble and mysterious vampire race, and the inherently cruel and ferocious werewolves. The two races have fought for centuries for absolute dominance of the underworld. For hundreds of years, their relentless and brutal battles have never ceased. Many members of both sides have spent their entire lives clashing, their old and new grudges accumulating and intertwined. Now, the werewolves, seeking power, have come to you.

No one knows the plot of Underworld better than him, and now it seems he knows it all. It's necessary to let Michael know. The subordinates he's recruited this time are definitely not weak; they've either been modified by him or brought over from other worlds, but their purpose is the same. So it's better for Michael to understand his situation.

"Do I need you to do anything? No, I don't need you to do anything. I just need an apostle, and Michael, you are the right person for me." Tang Tian said to Michael calmly, ignoring the latter's surprise.

"Since you possess such potential, I feel I should bestow upon you the most powerful strength. This world, as you see it, is filled with vampires and werewolves," Tang Tian said calmly to Michael, pausing before continuing.

"Power? Real, extraordinary power!" Michael suddenly became excited. Extraordinary power was something everyone wanted to possess. Michael understood what it meant. Having witnessed the power of werewolves and vampires, Michael knew that without power, one would be nothing more than an ant, at the mercy of others.

"Yes, I already know the result from your eyes. Very good." Tang Tian was very satisfied with Michael's performance; he needed a subordinate like this.

Michael has already determined the direction of his enhancement. Since this is the world of Underworld, he will use the genes of vampires and werewolves as the foundation, and at the same time use the T-virus, G-virus, Veronica virus, and C-virus as the foundation, and add the genes of Hulk and Iceman. He will use his own divine power to deduce and create the highest fusion virus, surpassing the existence of all viruses.

“Michael, this world is full of vampires and werewolves, so your power is based on these two genes. However, I will add different genes to you.” Tang Tian thought for a moment and felt that Michael was best suited to the power of the Underworld world, supplemented by genes enhanced from the Marvel world.

"Then, the power of vampires and werewolves? Powerful viruses and genes from other worlds." Michael closed his eyes, clearly considering his current situation. To be honest, he originally wanted to acquire power, and after studying those viruses, he also believed in their hidden power.

"Power? No one doesn't want it. Whatever kind of power, someone will crave it. It's something that can't be changed." Tang Tian sighed inwardly. He knew the situation had changed somewhat, so he didn't want to say anything. Basically, everyone desires power. The vampire world in Blood Dawn wanted eternal life, ultimately turning the world into a vampire world.

“Boss, I need those powers because they will protect me better.” Michael thought for a moment and then said seriously. He understood what Tang Tian meant, of course.

"Very good, prepare to gain new power! Close your eyes and wait!" Tang Tian said seriously, clearly indicating that he had a very good feeling about Tang Tian.

Tang Tian also used the power of his artifact to envelop these genes and viruses. The golden energy covered all the test tubes, including the T virus, G virus, and Veronica virus, and countless colors and genetic material structures were drawn out.

Tang Tian silently closed his eyes, contemplating the situation before him. He was using the artifact as an analyzer to understand the structure of the T-virus. Tang Tian's divine essence was also bestowed upon him by the artifact, so he understood its power and could sense the virus's internal structure. Tang Tian slowly analyzed the virus and the Hulk's genes. His divine essence transformed into a supercomputer, constantly analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of various viruses, extracting their essence and discarding their dross, optimizing the combination of various forces to ultimately create the most perfect virus, surpassing the super virus in Zombie Heroes.

"Are the powers of werewolves and vampires really too weak? Those genes were devoured as soon as they came into contact with the Hulk and Iceman's genes. Obviously, those trash genes cannot resist such a powerful devouring force." The golden divine spark turned various viruses and good genes into light spots, and then the various light clusters slowly merged together.

Tang Tian's golden divine spark originally came from the power of this artifact, and the function of his divine spark power is unknown. What is certain is that his divine spark possesses special creativity, which can give Tang Tian a lot of inspiration, which is quite good.

"The power of divinity is indeed impressive. The optimized virus has surpassed the divine level; perhaps only the special virus in Zombie Heroes can compare with it. The power of divinity is truly remarkable." Tang Tian felt satisfied with the golden super virus brimming with vitality.

"But the energy is too immense; it can only grant him a trace of power. I need to absorb most of it. However, this is for the best; at least it can assimilate the chaotic power within me," Tang Tian thought to himself, preparing for his next move.

Chapter 570 A Plan Without a Plan

The divine power created by this device is quite considerable; the deep blue gene virus with a hint of gold was successfully created. It also contains boundless life force, making it arguably the most powerful virus in all worlds—its impact goes without saying.

"A virus deduced by a god? It's truly powerful." Feeling the strong life force, Tang Tian was quite satisfied. Perhaps after dealing with this virus, his body and his original weapon would become even more perfectly integrated.

Tang Tian slowly allowed the virus's power to merge into his body. This virus was completely different from the previous ones; this time, the divine virus power was infused with sacred energy. Both the soul and body would be infected. Failure might leave nothing behind, while success would grant him the most powerful strength he had ever possessed.

The divine virus possesses exceptional effects, surpassing many other enhancement methods. These viruses enhance not only the body but also the soul.

He also left a trace of that power for Michael, otherwise Michael would have been devoured by those divine viruses. Obviously, a mortal body cannot withstand such powerful forces.

"Such powerful strength, truly impressive." Tang Tian felt his body being slowly transformed by the divine virus within him. He felt his body being gradually altered, and his soul was also being slowly transformed. This feeling was quite pleasant for Tang Tian.

"Alright, I'll give you the rest!" After the virus in Tang Tian's body was assimilated by the divine virus, he injected a trace of the divine virus into Michael's body.

"Ah!" Michael screamed in pain, feeling his cells burning and slowly assimilating with the virus.

Although Michael was in some pain, the physical transformation was complete, and he unconsciously activated his body's power. In an instant, Michael grew to a height of three meters, his body burning with icy blue flames, his fur the same color. The surrounding tables and equipment were all frozen into tiny fragments.

Although Tang Tian's changes weren't as obvious, his true strength was concealed by the artifact. The divine virus enhanced his physical attributes to an unknown level, fusing all of his body's power together.

"Michael, how are you feeling? Is this the power you need?" Tang Tian looked at the completely transformed Michael and then asked him earnestly.

"Roar." The enormous, ice-blue wolf roared, its transformation rendering it speechless; Michael, however, seemed oblivious. In its ice-blue state, vampires and werewolves would undoubtedly feel the suppression of their bloodlines.

Michael seemed to hear Tang Tian's words, slowly shrinking in size, his eyes still icy blue. When the transformation ended, Michael's strength decreased by one-tenth, but he now possessed the power of Iceman from the Marvel Ultimate Universe, making him an existence so powerful that no one in this dimension could shake him.

"Yes, Master, I sensed the power within." Michael knelt down and said respectfully to Tang Tian.

"Very good, your code name is Ice Wolf, my first apostle." Tang Tian was very satisfied with Michael's appearance; his first subordinate whom he had personally trained was a success. As his first subordinate, his significance was self-evident, and he was clearly of great value.

"After a while, you can take action and prove your worth with your strength," Tang Tian said calmly, his tone full of certainty, clearly indicating that he already had a plan for what to do.

"From now on, you will be the leader of the vampires and werewolves, and they will be under your command," Tang Tian said directly after thinking for a moment.

"Welcome, friend. From now on, you can be the master of your own destiny." Deadpool teleported over at that moment, smiling and extending his hand to Michael.

Meanwhile, at the ball held to welcome Amelia's envoy, Erica wore her favorite evening gown, but she longed even more for the dress Craven had specially prepared for Selena. She entered Selena's study, where Selena was intently focused on her computer. Erica walked to the full-length mirror in the room and tried on the dress against herself.

"Selena, you absolutely have to wear this, it looks so beautiful!"

Erica turned to Selena and said, her voice full of envy. But Selena was still staring blankly at the photo on the computer screen, completely ignoring her.

Selena's unusual behavior caught Erica's attention. She quietly walked behind Selena and secretly glanced at the screen. She saw three people on the screen: Tang Tian, ​​Deadpool, and Michael. Erica was visibly surprised to see these three, not understanding why Selena was interested in them. She laughed and said, "So you're interested in these humans! How strange." Selena replied, somewhat bewildered, that encountering enemies like these was truly troublesome.

"How could that be? They are extremely dangerous. If I'm not mistaken, they will overturn the existence of vampires and werewolves."

"Really? Maybe you're right! A lot of mercenaries there were inexplicably killed off, right where you appeared." Erica said with some surprise after thinking for a moment. She wanted to say something more, but things never turn out the way they expect.

"Really? Those humans actually turned on their own people." Selena was also somewhat incredulous; those humans could be so ruthless.

"I heard there were a lot of ice shards left at the scene, and even the weapons seem to have been altered by the ice," Erica said, still shaken.

“Enough, Erica, that was probably just a prank,” Craven said, his face very displeased, interrupting Erica abruptly.

Selena ignored him; now he was certain that one of them had definitely obtained such power. Erica, at Craven's signal, left the study. A silence fell over the room. Craven, hands behind his back, walked to the window; he had come specifically for Selena. As a direct descendant of Victor, one of the three elders, and also as the most powerful warrior among the Deathwalkers, Craven was very interested in Selena.

"Those humans are none of our business. Even if they're powerful, they won't bother us vampires. Besides, they seem to be hunting down certain humans. Those ruthless humans won't gather much power," Craven said, as if trying to comfort himself. There was nothing he could do about it; he had sent vampires to investigate, and the result was predictably disastrous.

“Take Erica with you; she longs to be by your side.” Craven’s invitation held no appeal for Selena, but Tang Tian and Michael’s influence made her uneasy.

Chapter 571 Vampire Manor

Michael was the one who had Tang Tian order Michael to kill Alexander's men. Having already taken down many mercenaries, Michael had completely turned to the dark side. He was no longer the same as before. It must be said that Michael's transformation was essentially the same as before, except he now possessed the Hulk's body, sharp teeth, and a head of azure hair. His attacks not only targeted Alexander's mercenaries but also slaughtered werewolves and vampires.

"Michael, your mission this time is to take down those mercenaries entrenched in District Seven. I believe you'll do a great job," Tang Tian said with a smile, patting Michael on the shoulder.

"So, boss, what do you need me to do? You've been sending him out to take out those mercenaries all this time. You know, this world may be boring, but it still has some value."

Deadpool quickly asked Tang Tian, ​​fearing he wouldn't have a chance to fight, something he didn't want to see. As a warrior, he would fight constantly. As a mercenary in the Marvel Ultimate Universe, Deadpool was inherently warlike, so he would feel unhappy if he didn't get to fight even once.

"Your job is to shut up. You're already very powerful. You can take down the most powerful people in the world with a single strike." Tang Tian didn't even look at Deadpool's helpless expression. He knew Deadpool well. He was probably the only one who could suppress Deadpool. Deadpool usually wouldn't listen to anyone.

"After you slaughtered an entire universe last time, I thought you'd be able to control yourself? But I was wrong, you're still the same as before." Tang Tian patted his forehead helplessly. He was quite exasperated with Deadpool, this powerful yet goofy superhero. Having such a powerful guy as his subordinate would have been good, but unfortunately, someone too powerful would disrupt his plans, which was not something he could agree to.

“As expected, Master has experienced many worlds, this world is nothing to him.” Michael was now dressed in a black combat suit and wearing black sunglasses, looking unusually cold and ruthless.

"Michael, you don't need to call me master anymore. Just call me boss as before," Tang Tian said to Michael after thinking for a moment. Michael was all he needed as a subordinate.

"I understand, boss," Michael said respectfully to Tang Tian.

"Also, after dealing with those mercenaries, kill all the vampires and werewolves who come to investigate," Tang Tian ordered again. He already had a detailed plan for dealing with the dark creatures of this world.

“Yes, boss,” Michael replied earnestly.

"Deadpool, you stay here with me! This mission doesn't need you." Tang Tian's words made Deadpool's face turn to tears. Having a boss like Tang Tian meant he couldn't be completely free.

After Tang Tian issued the mission, he took out a flying Terminator robot from his inner world, and Michael and Tang Tian both boarded it. Alexander remained calm; Tang Tian's actions did not deter Alexander from coming out, clearly indicating that Alexander's shrewdness, honed over centuries, was far greater than before.

Ever since Tang Tian and Deadpool arrived at the subway station, Alexander had been observing them. After receiving information from his subordinates, he was even more astonished. Having lived for over a dozen centuries, he had seen all sorts of humans, yet they acted as if they were unique, their physical abilities far surpassing his.

"Sir, we've found those two mysterious men. They're with your descendants, and it seems they're planning to attack us again," a black man among Alexander's men said helplessly to Alexander.

Recently, it seems like Tang Tian and his group are specifically targeting them, interfering in almost every area they inhabit. Furthermore, there are werewolves and vampires all around them, and whenever a vampire or werewolf comes near, they are mercilessly killed.

"Really? It seems that mysterious man came for me. Michael has become his subordinate, and I heard he's quite strong, possibly even surpassing me." Alexander looked like a middle-aged man. He frowned, not afraid of these people specifically targeting them, but rather somewhat at a loss.

Logically, Tang Tian and his group should have come directly to him, or rather, come to collect his blood. But that wasn't the case. Instead, he strengthened Michael, making him his subordinate. He then repeatedly attacked his own men, seemingly with a purpose. In reality, Alexander knew that Tang Tian and his group weren't him. Michael possessed latent perfect blood, meaning he no longer needed Michael's blood. This situation could only be explained in one way: Tang Tian and his group were merely training Michael.

"No, no need. My descendant is so powerful; that's his luck. I sense he's encountered an opportunity, and even I might not be his match," Alexander said calmly to his men, clearly already knowing the outcome.

“Okay, I understand,” Alexander’s subordinate replied helplessly.

Alexander knew from watching Michael's fight videos that Michael was definitely stronger than him. That ability to freeze objects, even high-speed bullets, could be assimilated, and the same went for flames.

"The Mysterious Man? That's really interesting. I hope Michael, you made the right choice," Alexander thought to himself.

Meanwhile, at the vampire manor, a grand ball was being held to welcome Amelia's envoy. Vampires from all over the world had gathered there to participate in the power transfer ceremony where Elder Amelia would awaken Elder Marcus, who would rule the vampires for the next century.
