Marvel's Death Merchant

"Wait, you didn't become his subordinate, did you? My God, that's a terrifying thing." Erica scrutinized Michael, while Selena was somewhat helpless. At the moment, she only admired Michael. She was satisfied that he could become the subordinate of God's messenger, and her feelings towards him were different from Erica's.

Erica slowly walked up to Michael, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at him. Sensing Michael's coldness and power, she was also quite surprised. At that moment, Michael's ice-blue hair and similar eyes made it impossible not to be curious.

"This handsome guy is really charming. As a human, to possess such great power, I really admire you." Erica looked at Michael as if she were infatuated, while the latter's expression remained cold. Michael was completely different when his corruption ended.

“Is that so? But unfortunately, I am no longer human. I am an apostle of God.” Michael looked up at Erica again, his icy aura causing the red wine beside him to freeze completely and instantly shatter into countless fragments.

"Erica, be careful. Michael isn't an ordinary person. Hearing 'boss' makes it even more terrifying, they all possess different kinds of strength," Selena kindly reminded her. When she became Michael's direct subordinate, she herself was given some of Michael's abilities and blood.

"So, Erica, is there something else? We have something important to discuss," Selena said earnestly, without looking at Michael's expression.

“Crawl wants to see you now, he seems very angry.” Selena glanced at Michael, saw him nod, and was about to turn around to see Craven when Alicia stopped her again.

Erica looked at Selena and said softly, "Did you gain any other power after becoming his subordinate? His power shouldn't be that simple."

"Is that how you see it? The power of ability." Selena raised her hand, and a bottle of red wine next to her stirred again.

"My God, such powerful strength! She's definitely at the level of a mortal!" Erica looked at Selena with anticipation. She knew that although Selena was much weaker than Michael, her abilities far surpassed those of all the progenitors of vampires. If Erica possessed such power, she would have even greater power herself.

"I also want to become his subordinate and have the strength of a mortal," Erica said earnestly to Selena, as if she had made up her mind.

“I can speak for him on your behalf, but you mustn’t provoke his boss. I’ve heard he destroyed several worlds, so be careful,” Selena said softly to Erica, indicating that she understood his meaning, but she didn’t refuse, as she didn’t care how much he did.

“You don’t need to tell me, I can do it myself. I’m not a child, don’t worry,” Erica said proactively. Having greater power and other things were also things she needed.

“Hello, my name is Erica, and I’m Selena’s friend. What’s your name? I want to become your subordinate. I admire your strength the most.” Erica said to Michael, who remained calm beside her. Michael looked up at Erica without showing any dislike or rejection.

"Michael, hello Erica." Michael looked at the gentle and beautiful Erica with satisfaction. Although she had turned to the dark side, some of her hidden qualities had been brought out, and Michael no longer disliked most of her hidden traits.

“Michael, you’re a god-like messenger, just as powerful as your boss,” Erica said sincerely. Michael was completely captivated by Erica’s opinions; powerful figures are naturally endearing.

“Actually, I was originally a doctor. But then I met my boss, and everything changed,” Michael said, seemingly reminiscing.

“Yes, the doctor is very good,” Erica said warmly to Michael.

"You will grant me the same power as Selena, a power that surpasses that of vampires and werewolves," Erica said earnestly. Now that she had this opportunity, she was not going to give it up easily; that was her defining characteristic.

“Yes, it’s no problem for me. I have plenty of power, and the boss has given me even more.” Michael said something that made Erica happy, something she hadn’t expected. She didn’t know why she could succeed on the first try; it was practically a miracle.

"You disobeyed my orders, skipped the banquet to welcome Amelia's envoy, and ran off to bring this human here. And now you dare to bring them to my manor!" Craven was so angry with Selena that he didn't know what to say.

Michael coldly watched Craven's angry outburst and said calmly, "You know Lucien, right? He's already one of my men."

"What? You're provoking someone in power? Besides, Lucien is long dead." Craven was suddenly enraged when he heard Michael's words. He didn't believe Lucien would become someone else's subordinate.

"It seems you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter, strength is just as good." Michael suddenly reached out, and Craven automatically fell into Michael's hand, where he grabbed Craven by the neck.

"Speaking of which, you really are a piece of trash. Otherwise, what need would you have for any schemes and tricks?" Michael said coldly. Then he used his ability to freeze everything around him, including the tables, which terrified Craven.

Chapter 583 The Gap in Strength

Selena and Erica saw Michael choking Craven, but they didn't stop him at all. The vast difference in strength wasn't something that could be bridged simply by wishing to. Sometimes, you can't just unleash your power at will; only the protagonist might possess such an ability, and unfortunately, Craven was clearly not that kind of person.

"Crawl, is it? I feel sorry for you. Although you are a vampire, you don't have any real strength. You just rely on your own plans. You could say you were a pawn from the start." Michael looked at Craven mockingly, as if he were less than some other kind of person.

"Your power is definitely not human. Who exactly are you?" Although Craven was afraid, he also wanted to know some information, as it would be beneficial for him as well.

"Human? What a nostalgic name! It's a pity my apostle belongs to the gods." Michael said, looking at Craven who looked like a clown. He didn't care about Craven at all. If needed, he could wipe out the entire vampire clan. Unfortunately, his boss wanted him to use Craven to control the vampires.

"Selena, how many elders are there among the vampires here?" Michael asked Selena after thinking for a moment. As a human, he naturally knew nothing about vampires, which was also possible.

“I know that there are two elders among the vampires. One is Victor, and the other is Marcus. Actually, Victor has the most power, while Marcus was the first elder.” Erica quickly answered Michael’s question, stating what she knew, which was also what she was aware of at the moment.

"I see! You did very well. This is your power." Michael was clearly very pleased with Erica's words, and then he bestowed upon Erica ice-blue energy. In an instant, Erica's power grew stronger and stronger, beyond what any vampire could handle.

"Thank you, my great master," Erica said happily, bowing slightly. She was also pleased that Michael had bestowed such power upon her.

Michael is quite different now compared to the movie. In the film, Michael was somewhat timid and cowardly, otherwise he wouldn't have been forced into that situation. Even when humans slaughtered vampires and werewolves at the end, they only ran away, instead of leading the vampires to rise up.

"Hey Michael, how's it going? Need my help?" Just as Michael was speaking, a guy in a red bodysuit appeared and asked Michael in a very casual manner.

"Deadpool, I've taken care of things here. There are no problems anymore," Michael said respectfully, not daring to utter a single word. After all, Deadpool was the most powerful hero in Tang Tian, ​​and he wasn't someone who could say whatever he wanted.

"Okay, that's good. I'm leaving." Deadpool said and disappeared. Since there was nothing important to do here, there was nothing more to say.

"Alright, it's your turn, Craven. You have two choices: be killed by me or submit to me. The choice is yours!" Michael said calmly to Craven, his eyes filled with indifference, and then there was no other meaning.

“My esteemed master, I am willing to serve you.” Craven looked at Michael and said respectfully, completely unlike his arrogant self just now, as if he were an obedient servant.

"Hmph, I knew you were like this. Craven, this is your most shameless trait." Selena frowned slightly when she saw Craven's expression, looking at him with even more disgust, as if she ignored everything about him.

"I was wise; following such a powerful master was a good choice." Upon seeing Selena's words, Craven, though angry, managed to control his temper and remained unchanged.

Michael's current power surpasses that of the vampire and werewolf elders, and even Alexander's power is certainly no match for Michael's.

"Very good, Craven. Although I don't particularly like you, I admit you have your merits, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to live for so long," Michael praised calmly. He looked like a human, but in reality, he was different.

"Yes, Master, whatever you need me to do, I will tell you what I know." Craven didn't dare to say anything at this moment. At the very least, he saw the fangs in Michael's mouth, which were definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.

Craven no longer cared whether someone was a werewolf or a vampire, as long as he could have immense power or things he couldn't have. Becoming someone else's servant wasn't a bad thing; in fact, it was quite good.

"Not for now. All you need to do is control what you know, and that's enough," Michael commanded calmly. Since Craven held the most power here, no one usually came unless there were other circumstances. Within the vampire clan, Craven still held the most power.

Tang Tian's descent into the Underworld was for business, and to prepare everything before moving on to the next level. Because of these preparations, he was also busy descending upon the divine realm as a reward, partly for his own safety.

The world Tang Tian might go to next month is also part of the Marvel Comics universe, specifically the terrifying Marvel Ultimate Universe, where the level of danger is self-evident.

"Boss, Michael is almost ready. What do we need to do?" Deadpool asked Tang Tian when he returned.

"Let's wait and see how things go," Tang Tian said, glancing at the nonchalant Deadpool with a serious expression, a statement that surprised Deadpool. "We need to be prepared, otherwise we might have to run away next month."

"The regular troops in the main Marvel universe, including the bioweapons in several dimensions, and the same goes for those in the dimensional colonies. Octopus robots, Terminator robots, NS5 robots." Tang Tian slowly muttered these high-tech weapons in his mind. Anyway, they were all cannon fodder, expendable resources to enter the next universe.

"I can already sense the colonies. Most of the troops are pushing the limits of high technology. For example, Iron Man suits and Matrix robots are different after being modified. Almost three-quarters of the Newtype genetic soldiers have such exoskeletons. The high technology and genes I stole from the Marvel Ultimate Universe are also being used in the construction of the colonies, and soon these worlds will be completely integrated." Tang Tian thought to himself, perhaps things will be even more different in the next dimension.

Chapter 584 Alexander

Kraven's submission was something Michael had anticipated. Kraven's current strength surpasses that of all vampires and werewolves, and his power and backing have drastically changed his situation. The reason Underworld is different from the original is because of Tang Tian's involvement; Michael's power is also unprecedented.

Michael's next task was to deal with the vampires. Firstly, Michael had become the de facto master of both the vampires and werewolves, and essentially had nothing to do with the elders like Marcus and Victor. As for the two vampires, since Tang Tian was still useful, he didn't deal with them much.

"You did a great job, Michael. You didn't disappoint me. You'll be going somewhere with me in a bit," Tang Tian said to Michael in a low voice, offering his praise.

"Yes, boss, it's my duty, I'll do anything." Michael replied respectfully. Tang Tian didn't mention where he was going this time, but he had already decided: Alexander's place, the one who had lived the longest.

The Terminator helicopter arrived quickly, and a massive warship was docked beside the seaside pier—Alexander's daily mode of transportation. His influence spanned the entire underworld, and his primary task each day was to travel across the globe in this giant ship, patrolling his territories and coordinating relations between his forces and various human governments. As someone who had lived for an extremely long time, he possessed things many people dreamed of, and many sought to obtain Alexander's blood to aid him.

The helicopter had just landed at the dock when it was stopped by a well-equipped patrol of guards. Tang Tian and Deadpool had arrived, as had Michael and Selena. Erica was controlling the vampire.

"You've entered private property! Slowly get out of the car, don't move, I want to see your hands!" Alexander's men coldly aimed their guns at Tang Tian and his group. Selena, standing nearby, seemed to hate being pointed at with a gun. Michael, seeing Selena's reaction, knew what she was thinking, so he used his superpower to freeze all of their weapons.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. We're here to see Mr. Alexander. I think he knows me; Mr. Michael is one of my men." Michael smiled coldly as he explained his intentions to the leading black man. The man immediately used a walkie-talkie to report to his superior; he already knew who the visitors were—the very man Alexander feared.

"Please follow me!" Upon receiving the order to proceed, the black man immediately led them onto the warship, a vessel typically reserved for regular armies. Along their journey to Alexander's quarters, they could see numerous fully armed crew members, comparable to elite soldiers, carefully patrolling, demonstrating the military prowess of Alexander's forces and his own defensive capabilities. It was understandable that many were eyeing Alexander.

"You may leave!" As Tang Tian and Michael entered the captain's cabin, the black man who had led them there was immediately waved away by an imposing old man. Tang Tian calmly observed the origin of all the dark creatures in this world: Alexander, the first known undead in the Night World.

"Are you really Alexander?" Michael couldn't help but ask, voicing the first question that popped into his mind after seeing Alexander, who was, after all, their ancestor.

“I did have that name a long time ago, but whatever my name was, I will always be your ancestor. Michael, my child. Although you are different now, you are still my descendant.” Alexander looked at Michael with kind eyes, making Michael momentarily speechless, because a person's character cannot be completely changed.

"How have you concealed your whereabouts all these years? Mr. Alexander, I am very interested in you. You have a long lifespan." Tang Tian asked Alexander. He knew that his most valuable asset was his blood, which would grant even greater power to mortals if they obtained it.

“My genes are a wonderful thing. With them, there’s nothing I can’t do. He will give me everything I need.” Alexander knew Tang Tian was no ordinary person, so he didn’t dare to be perfunctory.

"Have you always known how much trouble your sons have caused?" Selena asked angrily, looking at Alexander's indifferent attitude.

“For centuries, I’ve witnessed the struggles between my sons and the harm done to so many people. But this is not what I wanted to see. I’m tired of it all, of being the one controlling the situation and cleaning up their messes every time. Everything I’ve done has been to hide my family’s unhappy past. Now I’m exhausted.” Looking at Michael, who was also looking at him with confusion, Alexander couldn’t help but reveal his weariness to his descendants. He had been carrying everything alone for too long, and he hoped that someone would understand him and help him.

"Then why didn't you stop them? With your power and influence, you could have stopped everything from the beginning. Unfortunately, you didn't." Selena said, looking at Alexander with even more anger.

"Can you kill your own son with your own hands?" Alexander was furious at Michael and Selena's words, and he also felt helpless.

“You know how much tragedy William and Marcus have caused. But Michael has done a good job; he’s in control now.” Selena knew that nothing she said would make a difference, so she spoke calmly to the others.

"Are you accusing me of not killing my own son? You, a ruthless killer. How many innocent people have you murdered in the past? We're both working hard for what matters to us." Alexander said to Selena with a cold smile. Although Michael was completely different now, what difference did it make?

"Finally, it's you, sir. You and your friend have come here and changed everything. You possess power far greater than mine." Alexander turned to look at Tang Tian and Deadpool, speaking calmly. He knew the danger these two were in, so he spoke with perfect composure.

"Hello, Mr. Alexander. I know everything about you. I suppose you're wondering what I'm going to do? Well, let me tell you, what I'm going to do is unify the vampires and werewolves," Tang Tian said calmly, looking at Alexander.

"Just as I thought," Alexander thought to himself.

Chapter 585 Tang Tian's Plan

“Mr. Alexander, I have experienced countless worlds and seen countless futures. I am only temporarily here in this world, or this world is about to merge with several other worlds. To be honest, I am a god.” Tang Tian looked at Alexander calmly, and smiled when he saw Todd’s expression.

"A god? I should have guessed you possessed such power." Alexander was speechless with surprise. This was beyond what someone of his level could say. He had always wondered who Tang Tian really was, and now he knew.

“All my sins can actually be blamed on you. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people were killed because you couldn’t accept the fact that your son was a monster. And they created even more monsters. You could have stopped all of this from happening.” Selena’s emotions seemed to be affected, and she continued to challenge Alexander, while Tang Tian beside her just frowned and didn’t say anything.

"Don't think that just because you've had a terrible experience, you can come here and tell me what to do." Alexander didn't even look at Selena; in his eyes, no one had the right to speak to him like that except for the right to do so.

“You know how many tragedies like mine have been caused because of William and Marcus. You should have stopped it all in the first place,” Selena continued to question Alexander, ignoring him.

“Enough. This is not a place for you to run wild. Soldiers, take this woman away.” Alexander pressed the intercom and called the soldiers. He no longer wanted to see this vampire, the first vampire in so many centuries to be so disrespectful to him.

“Ancestor, please forgive her rudeness. She was only so agitated because her whole family was innocently killed in this war. She had no intention of offending you.” Michael stood in front of the soldiers, releasing his superpowers at the same time. The power to freeze them was so incredible that even Alexander found it unbelievable.

“Alright, all of you, step back! Michael, I'll let it go this time for your sake and that gentleman's sake! But I don't want to hear her rude voice again.” Alexander ordered the soldiers to step back and calmly said to Michael.

"Then my child, tell me why you've come! Why are you with this god? I've lived for so long, yet I haven't become a god." Alexander looked at Tang Tian and said calmly.

"No, no, no, let me speak to Alexander!" Tang Tian gestured to Michael, telling him not to say anything, and then he wanted to talk to Alexander.

Deadpool calmly surveyed his surroundings. Although Alexander couldn't discern anything, it was clear that his strength was beyond that of ordinary people. Otherwise, how could they possess such power, having wiped out so many of his mercenaries, werewolves, and vampires? That proved he was no ordinary person and possessed extraordinary strength.

“Mr. Alexander, you can call me Mr. Donald. I am a transdimensional merchant. I have traveled through many parallel worlds, and their strength is no less than yours.” Tang Tian looked at Alexander’s obviously surprised expression and then said to him seriously.

"Really? What exactly is different about those parallel worlds?" Alexander seemed suddenly interested, asking Tang Tian about the situation here, showing great interest in the so-called parallel worlds.

Tang Tian smiled when he saw Alexander's expression. He knew that Alexander must be interested. People who have lived for so long are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of boredom. Think about a carefree person. You can't see anything in a day, or even a month, but several centuries are enough to cause mental problems in those people. That is also a very possible thing.

"I've been to many worlds. Some are filled with monsters more terrifying than vampires and werewolves. Some were destroyed by robots. Some have all sorts of extraordinary powers and advanced technology. Everything is different." Tang Tian also used his mental power to show those people the worlds he had experienced. After seeing them, those people were shocked. They never expected that Tang Tian would rise to power in such a way.

“Mr. Donald, your experience surprises me. It seems that we are just relatively weak beings in those worlds. Those humans with extraordinary powers are far more terrifying than vampires and werewolves, including myself.”

Alexander had also gained a little understanding of those superheroes. He finally knew where Deadpool and Tang Tian came from, and he wondered if he would die a terrible death if he came to Tang Tian's world.

"Mr. Alexander, let me tell you, I've been collecting things from many worlds, things I needed. That's how I rose to power. Are you satisfied now?" Tang Tian said calmly, looking at Alexander's obvious expression.
