Marvel's Death Merchant

"Intruder! Spread out and surround them! Go get the weapons!" The sentry announced to the other armed personnel after spotting Zero, and everyone quickly moved into their designated positions.

"Intruder, don't move. Hands behind your head." The armed men stared intently at Zero, because their boss had told them to increase security. Their business was rough diamonds, which was why they had purchased so much weaponry.

Zero smiled and raised his hands behind his head. No one knew he also had a pistol hidden behind his back. Zero then instantly drew his pistol and fired, instantly eliminating the armed men on either side. The remaining armed men, realizing something was wrong, all took their positions, and the machine gunner was already in position, firing at Zero.

Zero's abilities are very unique, not manifesting in physical mutations, but rather in his brain. His superhuman computational abilities and perfect control over firearms make Zero Stryker's most trusted ace. Of course, Tang Tian is very interested in Zero's abilities and those of other mutants. Therefore, he left a small gift for Stryker in that conference room.

Zero's computational power was indeed terrifying. While charging towards the group, the bullet struck the magazine of the car's machine gun, killing not only the gunner but also, after the machine gun veered off course, sweeping across the ranks of armed personnel below. It must be said that Zero's computational power perfectly timed the elimination of all the armed personnel on the ground. Then, the armed personnel upstairs continued firing at the running Zero.

Zero only had about a dozen rounds of pistol ammunition, so after taking down the armed personnel on the ground, he was out of bullets. However, thanks to his powerful calculation abilities, Zero simultaneously threw the empty pistol into the air while running. He then retrieved pistol magazines from his waist and loaded them into the falling pistol, replenishing his ammunition. After sprinting to the barbed wire fence several meters high, Zero simply leaped over it and jumped in.

Of course, Zero kept firing while doing the somersault, and after landing, he bowed as if the performance was over, looking natural and elegant. Then all the armed personnel upstairs fell down, and the performance of violent aesthetics came to an end.

"Having fun?" Sabretooth asked Wolverine excitedly, then broke away from the team and ran up the building. Sabretooth climbed the stairs as if it were flat ground, like a strong tiger. And once the black man in the tank closed the tank lid, Stryker knew who was capable of handling the situation.

“Fred?” Stryker pointed to the tank in front of him and ordered Fred. As the commander of this special squad, they could arrange special members to deal with the situation at the right time.

"That tank?" Fred turned to Stryker and asked.

“Yes, that’s the tank.” Stryker said with a smile. Fred’s power is that he can deflect any bullet or force field, making him completely immune to bullets and shells.

“Okay, I understand.” Fred nodded and walked over. The tank driver inside saw Fred looking at him through the observation port, and without exception, the driver immediately pulled the trigger. Fred simply punched the shell into the barrel. After impact, the shell exploded violently inside the tank. The most powerful weapon on the ground was thus destroyed by this mutant.

Fred easily pulled his hand from the wrecked tank cannon. When he looked up, he saw Saber-toothed Tiger smiling at him from the rooftop. The plan had been a great success, but Tang Tian himself was already waiting for them. Having reassembled his powers, Tang Tian had regained control of gravity and fused with magnetism. The combination was no longer a simple addition; his purpose here was for these mutants. (To be continued...)

Chapter 111 The Powerful Mutant Tyrant (1)

The gunfire and tank explosions outside didn't cause Tang Tian much of a stir. Of course, the leader of the military fortress was terrified. He saw Stryker's mutant team riding in the elevator on the monitor. Tang Tian didn't say anything for the time being, but the diamond dealer, already sweating profusely, pressed the elevator's stop button.

The diamond mine owner, somewhat nervously observing the uninvited guests, said to the still-aloof Tang Tian and his translator beside him, "Mr. Donald, we are partners. I hope you can protect me. I can provide you with the information you need about the meteorite."

Hearing the diamond boss's translation, Tang Tian said calmly, "I've said you're my partner. If your men die, they die. With sufficient weapons, you'll gain more men. Of course, I need these people outside."

Tang Tian's bodyguard was the bald man in the military overcoat standing before him; he was arguably the most powerful Tyrant ever created by the Umbrella Corporation. Created based on Darwin's genes, the Tyrant incorporated the genes of other mutants: Silver Warrior, Black King, Fireman, and Iceman. Although only a prototype of the ultimate mutant Tyrant, their combined power was extraordinary.

The elevator stopped working, turning the lights above their heads green. It was then that the talkative Wade began to unleash his foul mouth.

"Now look what's happened, I'm stuck in an elevator with five muscle men." Wade continued, making what he thought was a funny joke, rather inappropriately.

“Wade, it looks like your dream has come true.” John said to Wade meaningfully, using Wade’s earlier words to slap him in the face.

"Hurry up and shut up." Stryker was growing increasingly annoyed with Wade, especially his mouth, which made Stryker want to shut him up forever. Then Stryker continued, "Your turn is next."

“Thank you, sir. You look quite well today, but the seriousness in your eyes is only accentuated by this green environment,” Wade said, still going his own way. Everyone else frowned; Fred had clearly had enough of him.

"Oh my God. Can you shut up, buddy?" Wolverine said to Wade speechlessly.

“No, it will be difficult as long as I’m awake,” Wade shook his head and refused.

“Bradley, to the top floor, I can’t stand it here anymore,” Stryker said impatiently. Bradley didn’t say anything, he used his ability, and then the elevator worked perfectly again.

“Damn it, Mr. Donas, let my men deal with these people first. You surround the elevator and take out the intruders,” the diamond mine owner said to the translator beside him.

"Hmm." Tang Tian simply nodded. He didn't say anything more; he also wanted to see what Wade's abilities were like.

"Boss, I can sense that those people from outside have a lot of energy in their bodies," the mutant Tyrant Zero, wearing a military overcoat, said to his boss.

"Is that so? I'm looking forward to seeing who has the greater power." Tang Tian smiled as he looked at the ultimate weapon he had developed, and said with great satisfaction. Although this tyrant is called a tyrant, before the transformation, he was just an ordinary person in height. However, after activating the virus and mutant genes in his body, he will become a powerful monster and destroy everything.

Tang Tian only brought a special tyrant with him this time. He didn't actually bring many people here. From the moment this time ended, Tang Tian knew that Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk, and others would soon appear. Because the time was drawing closer, Tang Tian had arranged many things, and the mutant genes were being studied in depth. Sure enough, under the boss's orders, those who were separating the diamonds formed a small team; the firepower of eight people was enough to take down an ordinary person here.

"Ready to get to work." Wade finally stopped wasting time in the elevator and drew his twin swords, rapidly slashing at the incoming bullets. As expected, all the bullets were deflected back by Wade, resulting in the unfortunate deaths of the armed men from the ricochets.

The barrage of blades created by Vader rendered their bullets ineffective. Finally, he spun in mid-air and plunged his twin blades into the chests of the last two armed men. Then, he saw a bald man in a military overcoat and an Asian man in a suit holding weapons. Without hesitation, Vader stabbed at the mutant Tyrant Zero, who was wearing a military overcoat.

"Bang." Wade didn't see the blood he expected. The katana in his hand only produced a few sparks when it struck Tyrant Zero, and that was only because Zero hadn't used the Black Emperor's power.

Vader's attack struck the monster in the military overcoat, but only pierced through the green coat. The super-alloy katana was then deflected by Tyrant Zero's steel-like muscles, and Vader himself was sent flying by the immense recoil.

"Go on, take care of the people outside. You just need to beat them all down and let me see your strength." Tang Tian encouraged the Zero mutant tyrant, wanting to see whether his technologically created perfect tyrant was more powerful or these natural mutants.

"Damn it, what kind of monster was that?" Wade scrambled to his feet in disbelief, blood trickling from the web of his hand, a testament to the immense power he had just unleashed.

"During a fight, getting distracted will lead to a terrible death." Zero rushed over instantly and punched Wade, who was lost in thought. Wade coughed up blood and flew backward. Zero had only used a little force to incapacitate Wade. Zero also picked up the katana that Wade had dropped and held it in his hand. The Silver Samurai's ability allowed Zero to instantly create laser-like cutting energy.

“I think you’ve taken care of them. Of course, if you could fix your mouth, you’d be perfect…” Stryker waited a while, thinking Wade’s mission was complete, before walking in with the others. Just as he was about to praise Wade, he saw him spitting blood and flying out.

"You're Tian. Donas, the boss of Umbrella." Stryker noticed Tang Tian, ​​who was dressed in a suit and had no expression, and said with a change of expression. He never expected that the person he was wary of would be here. Because Tang Tian was notorious in the United States for his love of stealing good things. Even the designer of the Sentinel robot was secretly recruited by Umbrella when the military was not using it.

“That’s right, William Stryker is me.” Tang Tian said, looking at William Stryker with disdain.

"That's your weapon, isn't it? It can send Wade flying in an instant." Stryker asked Tang Tian in disbelief, while glancing at the Zero Variant Tyrant holding Wade's katana.

“Of course, I’d love to see whose subordinates are stronger.” Tang Tian released a cold and powerful aura, causing the mutant team behind Stryker to take a step back, and a small-scale battle was about to break out. (To be continued...)

Chapter 112 The Powerful Mutant Tyrant (2)

"Your power is definitely not that of an ordinary person. Are you a mutant? You actually transplanted mutant abilities so insanely." William Stryker subconsciously took a step back, looking at Tang Tian in disbelief, clearly very surprised by his crazy actions.

"No, that's not the power of a mutant, it's the power of a virus. I think you've heard about those high-powered biological weapons that destroyed the Hydra base, and my power comes from that virus." Tang Tian, ​​wearing sunglasses, shook his head indifferently and explained to William Stryker. Actually, Tang Tian wasn't afraid of Stryker misunderstanding him; with his economic power and military connections, he feared nothing.

“As expected! This is Umbrella Corporation’s trump card, the legendary source of Captain America’s power, an evolved plant brimming with potential.” William Stryker seemed to understand something as well, and blurted out to Tang Tian.

At the same time, he signaled to the other members of the mutant team not to make any moves. Not only was Tang Tian's current status at its peak, but he also greatly feared Tang Tian's own strength, so they couldn't make the first move. Tang Tian also temporarily refrained from letting Tyrant Zero test the mutants' strength, and the mutant team wisely refrained from attacking. Wade's fate had already proven that Tang Tian was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Alright, Stryker, you didn't come here for those diamonds, did you?" Tang Tian pointed to the rough diamonds in the room and said casually to Stryker. Tang Tian already knew Stryker's purpose, and this was to get Stryker to reveal it, since Tang Tian also needed these meteorites; the extracted adamantium would greatly help him create new weapons.

Seeing the two factions locked in a standoff, the diamond mine owner breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed his life was safe for now. He was also somewhat grateful for his incredible luck in finding such a powerful partner. He was adept at reading people; as the translator translated for him, he understood that his partner was asking if the other side wanted the diamonds. While Stryker was thinking, the diamond mine owner nodded, meaning that if they wanted them, they should give them all the diamonds.

"I don't want your diamonds, I want this." He pointed to the dark green stone that Tang Tian had just picked up. It looked like a fused metal.

“You actually need this? But Mr. Donald is also very interested in it.” Upon hearing the translator’s words, the black boss frowned. He couldn’t believe that both a business partner and the men who came to his door needed souvenirs that seemed worthless to him.

"Do you need this too? I need it too. I think it's not just you who discovered this special metal. Of course, there's another metal called vibranium, whose characteristics are even more remarkable than the metal extracted from this meteorite." Tang Tian said to Stryker with a mocking expression, holding the green meteorite and stroking the raw material of the most special metal in the Marvel Universe.

"You know so much. Impressive!" Stryker had come to obtain all the meteorites because he understood the power of the metal within them. However, man proposes, God disposes; all his plans were exposed by Tang Tian's mocking tone.

"What do you want in order for me to get these meteorites?" Stryker asked Tang Tian, ​​who was sipping a glass of red wine on the table, his face grim.

“Of course, I want your research results. I know about what happened on the island, and I’m very interested in your research. If you agree to give me a copy of your research results, I can also give you a small portion of these meteorites. However, the most important thing is to let me see whether your special team is more powerful or my ultimate weapon is more powerful.” Tang Tian put down his red wine, ignored Stryker, whose face changed from red to white and then to ashen, and pointed at the Zero Mutant Tyrant, speaking calmly.

"How did you know...?" Tang Tian easily exposed Stryker's most deeply hidden experimental location, causing Stryker to look somewhat uneasy as he asked Tang Tian.

"Of course, you've already forgotten about that test subject who escaped." Tang Tian lit a cigar and said casually to Stryker. Indeed, the person he was referring to was Gambit.

“Alright, Fred, you go first,” Stryker said seriously, looking at Fred.

“I understand. This behemoth is giving me a bit of excitement.” Fred wasn’t afraid, because the gravitational field he manipulated could deflect any bullet or shell. Of course, it could also deflect force, which was Fred’s greatest asset.

"Come on, let me test your strength," said the Zero Tyrant coldly, placing his katana in his left hand and raising his right hand, which resembled gray steel.

Fred knew the Tyrant's power; the unconscious Wade was a prime example. So Fred rushed over, accelerated, and punched the Tyrant's fist. However, Fred ended up slamming into a concrete wall instead. Lacking Wolverine's regenerative abilities, Fred, like Wade, instantly lost his fighting ability. Tang Tian was satisfied with the Tyrant's perfect control over Black Emperor's power, while Stryker believed the Tyrant's power was incredibly strong.

"Zero, you do it," Stryker ordered Zero. Zero nodded, took out the pistol from his waist, and quickly loaded it.

Zero began to accelerate, rapidly emptying the magazines of his two pistols within five seconds, each shot aimed at the head and heart of the mutant Tyrant Zero. To eliminate Tyrant Zero outright, Zero fired steel-core bullets. Just when Stryker thought Tyrant was about to die, Tyrant taunted Tang Tian, ​​implying that his human test subject had lost. Tang Tian, ​​however, remained coldly indifferent, ignoring Stryker's gaze. Then, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, Tyrant, who had been like a lamb to the slaughter, transformed his left side into a fiery form and his right side into an icy form. The instantaneous shockwaves of cold and heat created a stark contrast, turning the area into a world of ice and fire. Tyrant Zero's fusion of mutant powers was perfect; even hundreds of Sentinel robots might not be able to subdue him.

"What terrifying power! It possesses both ice and fire simultaneously. The bullets were either frozen into ice blocks or instantly melted into liquid." Zero quickly moved away from Tyrant Zero's position because all of Zero's attacks were completely ineffective against Tyrant Zero.

"I lost." Zero knew the difference in strength was too great, so he decisively conceded defeat. Besides, this wasn't a life-or-death battle, so conceding was a wise choice. Tang Tian was increasingly satisfied with Zero's fighting power, while Stryker's expression grew increasingly grim. (To be continued...)

Chapter 113 The Powerful Mutant Tyrant (3)

"Zero, your talent has made you an excellent warrior, but unfortunately, absolute strength cannot be compensated for by skill and calculation ability." Tang Tian said to Zero with a slightly peculiar tone of praise.

At the same time, as he spoke, the six-pointed star pattern on his arm and the scepter mark at the 12 o'clock position lit up. That was the power of the Radiant Mind Bay of Cabomir, the core mental power of the main god. In addition to the scepter itself being able to directly turn a person into a god, its power, like the Mind Stone, possesses the ability to modify a person's mind. Recently, Tang Tian had completely controlled the power of the scepter, and he was very confident in subduing his subordinates.

"Yes, my power will be suppressed under absolute power." Zero completely lost his former composure and his goodwill towards Tang Tian increased greatly. He didn't even notice some changes in his own heart.

"Zero... what's wrong?" Stryker's most trusted subordinate, Zero, looked at Tang Tian with gratitude and frowned as he spoke.

“Sir, everything is alright,” Zero said to Stryker.

"Who's next? I'm very interested in your power." Mutant Tyrant Zero said coldly, looking at Wolverine, Sabretooth, and John, who had the ability to teleport.

Because Tyrant Zero was simply too powerful, easily defeating Fred, Wade, and Zero in a very short time. Tyrant Zero's strength was so immense that his attacks were swift and simple. Tyrant Zero possessed the explosive power of a Tyrant, the superpowers of mutants, and the regenerative abilities of a combination of the T and G viruses, making him essentially an overwhelming force against the mutant team.

“Such power is insurmountable. Let’s attack together.” John gripped his assault rifle and said to Wolverine and Sabretooth. He understood that the Tyrant’s power was beyond their ability to contend with. If all the members of the mutant team had attacked together earlier, there might have been a sliver of hope, but now victory was virtually impossible. The Tyrant’s power had instilled fear in John.

“Okay.” Wolverine nodded in agreement, after all, they had witnessed the Tyrant’s fighting prowess firsthand. They had discovered that the Tyrant had already used two of his abilities, and since they were now Stryker’s men, they had no choice but to work together to defeat him.

Sabretooth crouched on the ground, preparing to charge, while Wolverine's bone claws extended from his hands. John used his teleportation ability to move to different locations and fire at Tyrant. Meanwhile, the diamond mine owner, Stryker, Tang Tian, ​​and the other mutants who had lost their fighting abilities were all at the elevator door to avoid being caught in the crossfire of their battle.

"Fuck, damn it, why is that guy's body so tough? The bullets have no effect at all." John was shocked to see that the shooting was not effective. He kept moving around and fired at the Tyrant running towards him with his G36. Countless bullets hit Tyrant 0's head like lasers, but most of them were deflected back.

"Awooo." It seemed to be enraged by John, the fly. With Tang Tian's nod of agreement, the Tyrant No. 0, who was originally like a normal person, began to have dense muscles bulging all over his body. His height continued to increase, and stopped increasing after reaching 3 meters. The military coat that was binding him also instantly turned into pieces when No. 0 evolved into the complete Tyrant form. His two hands, which were more than 2 meters long, turned into huge claws with half-meter-long sharp nails, full of cold power.

"John, you idiot! Get out of the way!" Sabretooth yelled after seeing that the tiger's height had reached the ceiling.

"Ah!" John was still a step too slow. The Tyrant, which broke the sound barrier, was sent flying 5 meters away, crashing into the wall. Five deep gashes appeared on his shoulder, and a lot of blood flowed out.

"Mr. Donas, Umbrella Corporation's biotechnology is truly remarkable. One of your 'bodyguards' is equivalent to an army of over a thousand." Stryker, though his face was extremely grim, still praised Tang Tian's tyranny. After all, the situation was beyond his control; he needed Tang Tian's powerful approval to obtain such a meteorite.

“I know what you want. I promise that no matter the outcome of the battle, I will ‘give’ you some of these meteorites. However, you must give me what I want in its entirety. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that my ‘bodyguard’ legion won’t be in your base.” Tang Tian said to Stryker as if he were talking to an old friend.

“Of course, I will give you a copy of my research results,” Stryker said seriously. Although Tang Tian’s blatant threat had made him very unhappy, he had no choice but to agree. After all, Tang Tian was better than him in every way, and if he didn’t want to die, he had no choice but to cooperate.

After John was knocked away by Tyrant Zero, Sabretooth seized the opportunity to rush in front of Tyrant Zero and stabbed him hard in the chest with his bone claws, while Wolverine stabbed Tyrant Zero in the back. The two's cooperation indeed enraged Tyrant Zero, and his huge claws emitted a faint red light and released tremendous heat.

"Get out of the way, Jimmy!" Sabretooth warned Wolverine. However, Wolverine was a step too slow and was trampled under Zero's feet. Wolverine and Sabretooth's attacks were currently the only ones capable of inflicting even a slight injury on Zero. Zero's body was incredibly sturdy; the combined force of Wolverine and Sabretooth's attacks only left a white mark on Zero's body. Then, Zero used his Silver Samurai ability to completely sever Wolverine's claws. The highly intelligent Zero was essentially playing a cat-and-mouse game. Almost all the mutants capable of fighting were wiped out, leaving no chance of victory. They were utterly defeated by the tyrant Zero.

"Alright, that's the end of Number 0. Your strength is impressive, I'm very satisfied. Let them go." Tang Tian slowly walked up to Number 0, the mutant tyrant, and said to him calmly.

"Yes, boss." Under Tang Tian's oppressive aura, Tyrant Zero returned to its original size and height, leaving behind the two mutants, Wolverine and Sabretooth, still shaken.

"Your claws are gone. I'll give you a new alloy claw." Tang Tian approached Wolverine, looking calmly at the claws severed by Tyrant Zero. He didn't pay attention to Wolverine's expression. Although Wolverine could create endless bone claws, Tang Tian would have Stryker replace them with new ones, just like in the original storyline.

“Alright, let’s go to the village with the meteorite together,” Tang Tian said, turning to Stryker.

Just moments before, the terrified boss had revealed the location of the meteorite. While the other mutants recovered slightly, especially Wolverine and Sabretooth who instantly healed from the Tyrant's Claw injuries, the group went together to the village to find the Adamantium meteorite.
