Marvel's Death Merchant

"Colonel Hendry?" Queen Emma Frost turned her gaze to the bald, middle-aged man in a suit in front of her and spoke politely.

“Yes, madam,” Colonel Hendry replied politely.

Tang Tian sat casually in the corner, observing their conversation without taking any action. He concealed his power using spatial abilities. It must be said that the Dimensional Rat's power was truly formidable; it was understandable that he was called a freak capable of shaking the galaxy. After all, Zhang Min had gone to great lengths, with the help of other Slayers, to injure him and obtain his divine genes, which was how Tang Tian came to be.

“Emma Frost, I am Sebastian Shaw’s second-in-command,” the White Queen explained.

"Where is Mr. Shaw?" Colonel Hendry asked.

At this moment, a group of scantily clad young women entered, and the White Queen pushed open the door and spoke.

“We have a party, this is for entertainment, come with me.” The White Queen took Colonel Hendry’s hand and led him inside.

The club's interior is a magnificent hall, where the candlelight and artificial light are perfectly balanced, avoiding any glare. Because it is specifically designed to serve the upper class, it is exceptionally well-maintained.

The White Queen held a high position within the Hellfire Club; people on the street made way for her. She led Colonel Hendry into a small booth and drew a red curtain. Then, the White Queen pressed a hidden mechanism and descended underground. Agent Mora Marktagt had just arrived when she discovered that the observers had vanished.

In a secluded, brightly lit basement, Sebastian Shaw, as always, played classical music. Having finished his work, Sebastian Shaw turned to Colonel Hendry with a smile and said, "Bob, wouldn't you like another drink?"

"No, thank you," Colonel Hendry refused.

"I heard you rejected the suggestion to deploy missiles in Turkey. I hope you'll reconsider," Sebastian Shaw said calmly as he walked to the sofa next to him, holding a wine glass.

At this point, Colonel Hendry's expression turned serious, and he said cautiously, "We've discussed this issue. If you put our nuclear weapons in Turkey or anywhere near Russia, you're essentially trying to start a nuclear war."

Black King heard Colonel Hendry's words, still wearing a faint smile, and then said threateningly, "I'm not asking you, but expressing my expectations, so I'll say it again, I hope you will reconsider."

"It's time to act. Let me see your strength, Black Emperor." Tang Tian, ​​having seen the current situation through his wrist computer, was ready to take action. (To be continued...)

Chapter 77 Rapids and the Red Devil

"The only thing I'm reconsidering is having another delicious glass of champagne," Colonel Hendry stated simply and directly.

"Heh, why, why don't you give yourself a way out?" Black Emperor said mockingly, waving his finger at the rushing water beside him.

As if following the Black Emperor's will, a small tornado suddenly appeared in his palm. He casually flicked it towards Colonel Hendry, who had just risen, and the small tornado detached from his hand, visibly growing larger. Torrent possesses the ability to create tornadoes. He was originally a member of the Hellfire Club, but later joined Magneto's Brotherhood.

"What did you put in my drink?" The supernatural power was beyond Colonel Hendry's comprehension. He stared in disbelief, as if the Black King had administered some kind of psychotropic drug, causing him to hallucinate. This was understandable, as anyone with their own moral compass would immediately be suspicious upon seeing something supernatural.

Seeing that Colonel Hendry still didn't believe it, Jiliu mockingly waved his hand, and an enlarged tornado swept Colonel Hendry into it, slamming him against the wall next to him with a crisp sound in the study. The tornado then immediately dissipated.

As if they had achieved their goal, the Black King and the White Queen stood up together and walked towards the disheveled Colonel Hendry on the ground. The White Queen then used her telepathic abilities to make him lose his will to resist and obediently serve them. Colonel Hendry was dizzy and disoriented on the ground, and before he could catch his breath, the White Queen invaded his senses, and he immediately felt that all his secrets had been exposed.

"You want to run away right now? Hide and hide so we can't find you, am I right? But we will find you, Hendry. No castle in the world can stop us," the White Queen threatened telepathically. Her ability to say this proved she could do it; after all, her diamondization was incredibly powerful, and not everyone possessed Magneto's abilities.

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

The White Queen's ability to know everything instilled fear in Hendry. The unknown represented fear, and since mutants didn't yet exist, he was already somewhat swayed. Although he had considered not cooperating—after all, he was a high-ranking military officer—the power of mutants forced him to fear.

Seeing the fear on Colonel Hendry's face, Black King knew he had achieved his goal. To completely subdue him, he then gave White Queen a slight nod, and she immediately transformed into diamond. Black King was the biggest boss of the Cold War era; his ability was to absorb energy from his body and convert it for his own use, enhancing his strength, speed, and stamina. In combat, he primarily used fists and close-quarters fighting. This also allowed him to absorb energy from his opponents. Being attacked multiple times simultaneously would double the energy he absorbed, making him even stronger. However, he was not indestructible; energy overload would cause him significant damage, and he was completely defenseless against slow attacks, which is why he created his own mutant team. Mora Marktagt, a CIA agent who had infiltrated from the outside, turned around in surprise upon seeing White Queen's transformation.

“She’s amazing, isn’t she, Bob?” Looking at Colonel Hendry’s expression, Black King explained, “Genetic mutation. The evolution of human genes. This is the key to the realm of gods, and the future of humanity.”

After speaking to Colonel Hendry, the Black King asked the White Queen, "Where is Azazel (the Red Devil)?"

Then the White Queen whistled, her diamond-shaped voice possessing immense penetrating power. It was somewhat similar to ancient sonic attacks, capable of harming those with weaker physical abilities. Red Devil, reacting swiftly from a distance, instantly appeared beside Black King, his teleportation ability allowing him to appear instantly. Unlike the teleportation ability of the Black character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Red Devil's spatial abilities are extremely powerful. Red Devil himself is a Russian-born mutant with teleportation abilities. He was a member of the Hellfire Club before joining Magneto's Brotherhood. He also has intricate connections to Blue Devil from X-Men Origins: Cinderella, suggesting he is either his son or a genetically cloned human.

The Red Devil has completely red skin and a tail, and its attack power is incredibly weak. However, its escape ability is extremely strong; at the very least, unless it's the end of the world, it's almost certain to survive. Tang Tian is confident in subduing these subordinates, after all, following him is far better than following the Black Emperor.

When Black King saw Red Devil appear, he confidently said to him, "I don't want Colonel Hendry to be late. I think a smart man will make the right choice."

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

The Red Devil extended its hand, and this time Colonel Hendry did not hesitate. Seeing the Black King's words, Colonel Hendry, who had long feared their abilities, was instantly transported back to the missile deployment conference room by the Red Devil's spatial abilities.

“Turkey’s missiles send a very clear message. If we decide to launch, Russia’s warning system will have no time to react. This is very important, McTaggart.” In the high-level conference room where the missiles were deployed, a chief of staff spoke to other senior military officials at the round conference table. Tang Tian did not involve his proxy in the discussion; after all, letting the plot continue would keep it under his control.

"Oh, wait a minute. Are you on marijuana? How can a person just disappear?" In the conference room, a high-ranking CIA official then received an emergency encrypted call from his subordinate, Mora Marktagt.

"Where is Colonel Hendry? Where is he, Michael? He's at the Hellfire Club." Mora Marktagt, realizing her superior didn't believe her, asked what she most wanted to know, adding that Hendry was with her.

"Colonel Hendry?" Mora put down the phone and looked into the conference room.

“I agree, General. I have reconsidered my position, and I now believe that we should deploy Jupiter missiles in Turkey.” Colonel Hendry finally made his compromise after being brought here by the Red Devils.

“Colonel Hendry is here. Unless he travels 3000 miles in 10 minutes to get here. Listen, I suggest you don’t waste my time. It looks like Hendry wants to start World War III. I have more important things to do now.” Her superior lowered his voice and said to Mora, who already knew there was no way to salvage the situation; her operation had completely failed.

"Come out! You've been here for so long." After finishing his own business, Black Emperor's expression changed instantly as he spoke to Tang Tian and the others who were deliberately releasing their aura from the shadows.

"Hehehe, long time no see, Black Emperor." Tang Tian emerged from the shadows with a slight smile, using his mutated magnetic force to open the door. It must be said that the power of the main god is terrifying; it can even give one's magnetic force the characteristics of gravity. Therefore, after losing his gravity ability, Tang Tian's strength did not decline; on the contrary, it mutated and continued to grow stronger.

"You are, Tian Tangnas." Black Emperor looked at Tang Tian, ​​who was wearing a suit, and said in disbelief, because after all, it was a super world group, and even Hellfire's influence could not compare to theirs.

“That’s right, it’s me.” Tang Tian smiled faintly as he looked at the Black Emperor’s surprised expression.

“That’s perfect. It saves me the trouble of going to Wesker. If I catch you, I can get him out.” Black King paused only slightly before speaking coldly, after all, he had suffered at Wesker’s hands before.

"However, unfortunately, I won't be easily captured," Tang Tian said calmly, a faint smile still on his face. His four superhuman bodyguards were already preparing for battle; a small-scale skirmish was imminent. (To be continued...)

Chapter 78 Testing

"Umbrella Corporation has so many secrets! You are indeed no ordinary people. Wesker's abilities have already surprised me greatly. What exactly are you researching that can grant ordinary people power surpassing that of gods?" Black Emperor did not immediately make a move, but looked at Tang Tian thoughtfully and said.

"Of course, our goals are the same: to pursue the power of the gods," Tang Tian said calmly to the Black Emperor, seemingly unafraid of anything. The White Queen, quickly sensing the secrets this man held, used her telepathic abilities on him and his bodyguards.

"How could this be? How is this possible?" After using telepathy, the White Queen turned pale as if she had suffered some kind of blow, and her spirit seemed to have withered.

Indeed, the White Queen did use telepathy on Tang Tian and the others. First, regarding Tang Tian himself, when she felt her all-pervasive mental energy enter his vicinity, it was like a stone sinking into the sea—it didn't penetrate his brain, as if there was a separate dimension surrounding him. As for his bodyguards, one had a mind filled with destructive thoughts (a G-virus fully integrated experimental subject whose mental state was damaged), while the other's mind was completely blank, containing only the thought of loyalty (a T-virus-enhanced Newtype warrior). Both seemed like robots, their brainwaves completely devoid of a brain. Of course, the Terminators' brains are all controlled by chips; if the White Queen could enter their minds, that would be incredibly difficult.

"Not bad. Very good, it's telepathy, isn't it!" Tang Tian said flippantly, looking at the White Queen's pale face. He clearly knew about the effects of the bloodlust and desire in the G-virus test subject's brain on her. That's why she had returned completely empty-handed and had even been killed.

"Are you alright?" Black Emperor frowned, looking at White Empress's pale face, and asked with concern. Black Emperor was somewhat surprised, after all, even he couldn't resist the power of telepathy. Not only were Tang Tian and the others not invaded by telepathy, but they were actually attacked by an unknown mental force, at least that's what Black Emperor thought.

"You're the first to render my telepathic abilities ineffective." The White Queen nodded to the Black Emperor, then looked at Tang Tian and the others in disbelief, as if struck by a blow. Anyone who believes their most powerful force has lost its effectiveness would be deeply disappointed. The Black Emperor, too, had no resistance to her telepathic abilities.

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

"Thank you for the compliment, but you've misapplied your telepathic abilities," Tang Tian said to the White Queen with an irritating expression. He was actually telling the truth, because he and his bodyguards were no ordinary people. They had a great deal of control over her abilities.

The White Queen's initial probe completely failed. Even if the future Professor X possessed the mental power to kill all of humanity, it wouldn't have any effect on Tang Tian.

"Your special ability? That's a powerful ability." Although Black King hated Wesker and Umbrella Corporation, he praised Tang Tian's mutant-like ability, his eyes gleaming with admiration.

"Your abilities have flaws, but you cleverly use the team to make up for them. You're very good." Tang Tian maintained a faint smile as he looked at Black Emperor without engaging in combat, while the surrounding space was imprisoned by Tang Tian's spatial abilities. This was to prevent Red Devil from using his spatial powers.

“I’ve changed my mind. I won’t make things difficult for you. After all, your company has a considerable standing in the world. I only want Wesker. Besides, you’re not ordinary people anymore, or rather, you’re all mutants,” Black King said to Tang Tian with a deep meaning.

"Really? What are your thoughts? You can tell me." Tang Tian took out a cigar from his briefcase, lit it, took a puff, and said casually to Black Emperor, as if he was genuinely interested.

"We are all mutants, and we can join forces to build a mutant nation. Although I know your status is very high, if ordinary people find out..." It has to be said that Black King is indeed a good leader; it's estimated that his subordinates were attracted by his empty promises.

"No need to say anything, I refuse..." Tang Tian refused expressionlessly. His will was very firm and he could not be fooled by the Black Emperor. More importantly, Tang Tian believed that he could realize his ideal with his own power.

"Very well, I hope you have the ability." Tang Tian's decisive refusal made Black Emperor's expression very unpleasant, especially since it was in front of his subordinate. Black Emperor had already decided to use other words.

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

Tornado attacked first with a tornado, but Tang Tian snapped his fingers, and his No. 1 T-virus Newtype bodyguard destroyed it with telekinesis. The tornado's power was no match for the powerful, multi-functional telekinesis, and Bodyguard No. 1 was already engaged in combat with Tornado. The White Queen's expression changed; she hadn't expected Tang Tian's bodyguard to suppress Tornado's power. Knowing that telepathy was no longer effective against them, the White Queen transformed into her diamond form, becoming indestructible.

Tang Tian looked at his bodyguard, the second perfect G-virus experimental subject, who approached after Tang Tian's signal. Simultaneously, a gigantic eye appeared on his mutated right arm. This perfect G-virus fusion experimental subject was someone Tang Tian had spent considerable time finding from various planes with unique physical characteristics. It had already fully evolved to its G5 form and was far more agile than the G-virus Tyrant, without being destroyed.

Seeing the situation was dire, Red Devil prepared to intervene, but just as he used his ability, he was suddenly horrified to discover that he could no longer teleport. While he was still stunned, two Terminators approached, ready for battle. Tang Tian's bodyguards had carefully considered their fighting strategy: Torrent Force #1 could defeat it, and White Queen #2, the G-virus fusion, could counter it. Although its diamond-like form was indestructible, it was still no match for #2's 'immortality'.

"Alright, now let me test your strength. Those who get in the way won't be here anymore," Tang Tian said to Black Emperor with what he thought was a very friendly smile.

"You should know that my ability is to absorb energy. Although you discovered its weakness, I have also improved upon it because of it," Black Emperor said, seemingly genuinely grateful to Tang Tian.

"The Black Emperor's power is not bad, but it is definitely not as strong as Accelerator's vector manipulation in the Magic Catalog. His power is somewhat similar to Accelerator's, but he is much weaker than Accelerator." Tang Tian, ​​behind his sunglasses, analyzed thoughtfully in his mind.

"Perfect timing, Wesker isn't here. While I can't personally take him down with my improved powers, using you to test my new abilities isn't bad." Black King was finally ready to act. Seeing Tang Tian's lack of cooperation, he was prepared to use force to subdue him, given Tang Tian's astonishing wealth and influence. With Tang Tian's power, mutants would undoubtedly enjoy greater status. As for Tang Tian's fighting ability, Black King subconsciously ignored it; most businessmen didn't possess great strength—that was the unspoken rule. (To be continued...)

Chapter 79 Mithril Bullets

Black King mentioned that his abilities had been improved, and Tang Tian immediately thought of a possibility. In the movie *X-Men: First Class*, Black King's method of using his powers involved pre-storing energy in his body for use during attacks. This also prevented him from becoming completely helpless without assistance.

However, even if the Black Emperor had made prior preparations, Tang Tian was confident he could represent him. Tang Tian's magnetic force was now extremely powerful, allowing him to easily absorb metal particles from his surroundings and transform them into high-density metal. A one-sided, crushing battle was too boring, so Tang Tian decided to use technological weapons to play around with the Black Emperor.

"Let me see if your power has actually increased," Tang Tian said with a smile, looking at the Black Emperor's confident demeanor. After saying this, Tang Tian directly manipulated his spatial teleportation with the Black Emperor to an unknown island in the Atlantic Ocean.

"This is your true ability, an ability that looks just like the Red Devil's," Black Emperor said, analyzing the surrounding environment.

"The battle can begin." Tang Tian's eyes flashed, and he said coldly. Then, he took out the modified Matrix-style individual combat armor from the small world. Its appearance had been transformed into a full-coverage exoskeleton armor, equipped with small missiles and a Vulcan cannon.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!" Tang Tian didn't hold back with Black Emperor; it was just an experiment anyway. A large number of miniature missiles left the island riddled with craters. Black Emperor, after being hit by the missiles, actually absorbed their energy, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

"You think you're underestimating me? Your attack is over, now it's my turn." The Black Emperor, having absorbed all the energy, spoke mockingly to Tang Tian. It was as if he were saying, "You deliberately let me obtain this energy, and now I'm repaying you." Of course, he didn't know that everything was under Tang Tian's control, without the slightest deviation.

Black Emperor slowly walked towards Tang Tian's position, then suddenly stomped his right foot, creating a shockwave that cracked the ground as it hurtled towards Tang Tian's mech. Even as the terrifying shockwave approached, Tang Tian remained expressionless.

-------------------------Divider Line----------------------------------------------------------------------

With a deafening roar, Black Emperor knew this wasn't over. He saw a silver-white mecha emerge from the billowing dust—Tang Tian, ​​a mutant wielding high-tech weaponry. Black Emperor was increasingly confused. However, he was then wounded by a bullet, a slap in the face to someone capable of absorbing energy.

Inside a single-soldier combat mech.

"High-tech weapons are really useful. The power of technology is just as strong as physical strength, especially when combined with magic." Inside the mecha, Tang Tian controlled Skynet's autopilot, watching the Black Emperor flee in a sorry state. Indeed, a sorry state. The reason for the Black Emperor's sorry state was Tang Tian's newly created special weapon—the mithril bullet. The Black Emperor was completely unable to absorb magical substances, hence the humiliating defeat.

The machine is a particle collider. Silver particles are emitted from a high-energy synchrotron, and then two opposing high-speed particle streams collide, causing the silver to reach extremely high temperatures, up to 10 times the temperature at the center of the sun. This process creates silver isotopes, the legendary magical metal mithril. Those who inherited Zhang Min's technology all used this method to produce mithril.

"Skynet. Have you recorded the power and effects of the new weapon?" Tang Tian stopped firing inside the mech and instructed Skynet.

"Yes, it's been recorded, mainframe," the mechanical voice of Skynet inside the mech replied.

"Let's continue with the original plot!" Tang Tian thought to himself, then retrieved his mecha and took the Black Emperor, whose arm had only suffered a minor abrasion, back with him. Although this had happened, Tang Tian believed the plot wouldn't change too much; the inertia of history wasn't so easily altered.

When Tang Tian returned to his original location, he found that Black King's henchmen had all been dealt with by his bodyguards. Tang Tian took his bodyguards with him; he didn't need to deliberately interfere in most of the plot, as long as he obtained the mutant's genes. Of course, he needed to get to know Professor X and Magneto, as this would be helpful for future developments.

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

The plot continues to unfold slowly. First, Taric finds a clue about the Black King and heads towards its location. CIA agent Mora also arrives to ask Charles some questions.
