Marvel's Death Merchant

Wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses, Wesker stared coldly at the concentration camp gate. Having been infected with the Progenitor Virus for a long time, Wesker was finally ready to fight. Regardless of whether the mission succeeded or failed, Tang Tian would put him in charge of a branch company. For Wesker, this was his first battle and his moment of rise.

P.S.: Next up is Wesker vs. Shaw, the battle between mutant genes and the Progenitor virus begins. Please show your support!

Chapter 11 Black King VS Wesker (Part 1)

After discovering Eric's special abilities, Nazi soldiers in the Jewish concentration camp took him and his mother to Sebastian Shaw's office in a nearby camp. Unbeknownst to them, Magneto, the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, rose to power because of this very day. Wesker's mission was to directly infiltrate the concentration camp to find his target. Obtaining the Black King's gene would be ideal, but rescuing the target's mother was also part of the mission.

Even the Nazi soldiers didn't dare stop him. Umbrella enjoyed considerable privileges in Germany. As a supplier of strategic materials and weapons to Nazi Germany during World War II, Hitler, after receiving a $500 million loan from Umbrella, simply waved his hand, granting Umbrella employees the privilege of freely entering any place except military bases. Therefore, no one dared to say anything or provide any information they knew when Wesker entered the concentration camp.

On the other side, Eric, who had just awakened, nervously looked around, then his eyes fell on the person who had temporarily released him. Eric understood that his life was in the hands of this person, and his mother's life was also at this person's mercy. As the weaker party, Eric wouldn't say anything, because those in power usually had the privilege of asking questions first; such a fate was the tragedy of the weak.

Sebastian Shaw was satisfied with Eric's performance. As a fellow mutant, he appreciated any mutant with potential. Before the invention of nuclear weapons, mutants were very few in number, and each one was a valuable asset. The radiation from the future invention of nuclear weapons accelerated the emergence of mutants, which is why Sebastian Shaw was willing to trigger a world war during the Cold War—all for his own future and that of mutants.

When Albert Wesker arrived at the concentration camp, Nazi soldiers had already informed Shaw, wondering why someone from this global super-corporation would be there. However, he said nothing, turned on some classical music, and walked up to Eric.

--- Divider ---

“You understand, Eric… These Nazis, I’m not like them.” Shaw said casually, opening the chocolate wrapper on his desk.

“Genes are key, right? But what are they targeting? Blue eyes? Blonde hair? That’s insane.” After taking a bite of chocolate, Shaw pushed the rest towards Eric and said amicably, “Have some chocolate.”

Eric, who hadn't eaten for days, looked at the tempting chocolate in front of him, swallowed hard, and remembered that he hadn't seen his mother yet. Instantly, the thought of hunger vanished, replaced by a firm statement: "I want to see my mother."

"Genes are the key to unlocking the gates of the divine realm, Eric. Humanity's new future—evolution." Ignoring Eric's words, Shaw spoke with a fervent desire, almost as intense as Red Skull's. "Do you understand what I'm saying, Eric? What I'm asking of you is simple: a small coin is less important than a gate, isn't it?"

Shaw's meaning was clear, and Eric understood his purpose: to make him move the coin as he had done when opening the iron gate. "I tried, Doctor. I can't... I can't... it's impossible," Eric said helplessly after trying. Perhaps each mutant unlocks their abilities differently; just as Charles could unlock his talent from a young age, Eric's way of unlocking his talent was the same as unlocking the Sharingan—extreme rage.

Shaw watched Eric's failure with a sense of helplessness, but the anger he felt when Eric was separated from his mother triggered his talent. Because of this, Shaw had prepared another plan. The sound of the bell on the table rang out, and Eric's mother was brought into the room by two Nazi soldiers. Eric was overjoyed to see his mother, but he quickly calmed down, realizing that failing to meet Shaw's expectations meant his mother's presence was definitely not a good thing.

As expected, this time there wasn't a long time to move the coin like before. There were only three seconds: success would save Mother's life, failure would mean death. The saying "time is life" perfectly describes the current situation; those three seconds might be three seconds that change the future.

Lady Luck was not on his mother's side after all. The sound of a gunshot rang out, followed by the sound of an object falling. Eric felt something inside him shatter, and boundless anger surged forth. An invisible, powerful magnetic field emanated from him, deforming countless metal objects around him.

Seeing Eric succeed, Shaw smiled, thinking he had achieved his goal, but his expression was serious. His bullet had indeed aimed at Eric's mother, but it had been intercepted by a dark figure mid-flight. Instead of Eric's mother, the two Nazi soldiers had fallen. He considered one possibility: only someone dropped from an Umbrella plane could fall from a height of thirty meters unharmed. This suggested an incredibly powerful body. Shaw also knew from Nazi intelligence that Umbrella had some information on those involved in Project America. He knew that Umbrella's presence here was definitely not a good sign.

Although Shaw was somewhat worried about Umbrella Corporation's motives, he also had his own pride. As a mutant, and a powerful one at that, capable of absorbing any energy, Sebastian Shaw had his own pride; even against one of the world's most powerful corporations, Umbrella, Sebastian Shaw was not afraid.

“Come out. You’ve been lurking here for a long time, it’s time to come out. Who are you and what is your purpose?” Just as Eric finished venting his anger, Shaw said with a cold and serious expression.

"Heh, you found out?" At that moment, a man wearing a black trench coat with the Umbrella logo on the chest and sunglasses appeared at the door with a cold smile.

“You can call me Wesker. My goal is simple: your blood, that child’s blood, and that child’s mother.” Wesker always speaks simply and directly, without a single wasted word.

“Wesker? The bodyguard of Umbrella Corporation Chairman Tony Donalds,” Xiao said thoughtfully.

Wesker knocked Eric unconscious before he could react. After all, the child was part of the future plan, and obtaining Eric's genes was also part of the mission. Wesker took out a syringe, drew 100 milliliters of blood from Eric, and placed it in a specially made Umbrella incubator. His genes would have many more uses in the future.

"Alright, you're next. Let the battle I've been waiting for begin." Wesker ignored the dazed Eric and said with a cold laugh, the fight about to erupt.

P.S.: The next one will follow. Please continue to support me, thank you everyone.

Chapter 12 Black King VS Wesker (Part 2)

“Wesker? The blood I’m thinking of isn’t easy to get, because it will kill you,” Sebasti Shaw said with a smile.

Sebastian Shaw possesses the ability to absorb and fuse energy, whether it be solar energy, kinetic energy, or even the energy from nuclear explosions. He can absorb and reflect it. Shaw's ability is absolutely top-tier among mutant abilities. In the future, the only one who can surpass him is Jean Grey, the Level 5 mutant who can easily destroy the Earth.

“Sebastian Shaw’s physical strength is slightly higher than that of an ordinary person. He has a special mutant ability—energy absorption. He passively absorbs and rebounds all forms of abilities but has no special attack methods.” Wesker’s blood-red eyes narrowed instantly as he considered Sebastian Shaw’s strengths and weaknesses before the battle.

Overall, this situation is extremely tricky. Sebastian Shaw, with his ability to absorb energy and even kinetic energy, is practically invincible, as he absorbs all energy, rendering all attacks ineffective. However, Sebastian Shaw's ability to reflect absorbed energy back at himself puts him at a disadvantage. But when Tang Tian instructed Wesker to act, he told him Shaw's weakness: as long as he doesn't attack directly but strikes slowly, he won't absorb the energy. In the movie, Magneto used a coin to slowly pierce Shaw's head. However, Tang Tian's intention was for him to fight to accelerate the evolution of the Progenitor Virus, with the final blow coming last.

“Well then, I’d like to give it a try. Retrieval begins.” With Wesker’s chilling words, a syringe appeared in his right hand, which was gloved with black, and his aura shifted, emanating a sinister and dark presence.

"Heh, sometimes I really want to say that we're all mutants. Even though you might be an artificial creation of the Umbrella Corporation, we all possess extraordinary powers. Why can't we cooperate? It's even possible for us mutants to unite and dominate the world." Shaw took off his glasses, looked at Wesker, whose aura had changed drastically, and said admiringly, trying to win him over.

"Hmph, you'll never know how truly terrifying Umbrella is. Besides, my body, modified by the Progenitor Virus, has always been waiting for a powerful opponent to help me evolve," Wesker said with a sneer, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He then quickly tossed out his sunglasses, the reflection causing Xiao to instinctively close his eyes. Although Xiao didn't know the extent of Wesker's attack power, he was unafraid of any attack.

--- Divider ---

Wesker seized the opportunity, landing a left hook on Sebastian Shaw. Modified by the Progenitor Virus, Wesker possessed incredible physical abilities; a single punch could even shatter alloy. His instantaneous speed could reach 50 meters per second, and his strength could reach one ton. The unconscious Eric had already been removed from the office by Nazi soldiers, and his mother had also been taken away by helicopter. The Nazi soldiers dared not intervene. All Umbrella Corporation employees were granted immunity from prosecution for crimes, a law enacted by Umbrella's representatives in various countries.

Wesker's left hook did indeed land on Sebastian Shaw, but surprisingly, the seemingly powerful Wesker was sent flying and slammed heavily into the office wall. In mid-air, Wesker became a blur, instantly disappearing from Sebastian Shaw's sights.

"Indeed, very troublesome." Wesker said solemnly, looking at Xiao who was unharmed. The deep fist marks on his shoulders instantly healed.

"Oh, such powerful attack and recovery abilities, is this your strength? Now you have one more chance to submit to me." Sebastian Shaw said with a smile, it was clear that having such a powerful ally might make his plans succeed even faster.

“No, this is just the beginning,” Wesker sneered, then unleashed a barrage of attacks at Sebastian Shaw with incredible speed, sending Wesker flying no matter how many times he was thrown back. Faced with Wesker's incredible regenerative abilities, Shaw even concentrated the power from several of Wesker's powerful fighting techniques, instantly piercing Wesker's body. But Wesker always recovered in an instant, completely adapting to the force of Shaw's counterattacks.

An hour later, Sebastian Shaw was completely unharmed, as was Wesker. Simulating the power of each cellular unit of the Progenitor Virus, Wesker had adapted to the power generated by Shaw's rebound attacks on him. Subsequent similar attacks would be ineffective, including those from rifles of equal strength; he was completely immune. This undeniably demonstrated the terrifying power of evolution inherent in the Progenitor Virus.

"Unfathomable evolution, perfect power." Sebastian Shaw stared at Wesker with fascination. Shaw was very familiar with Wesker's current abilities: powerful attack, superhuman recovery speed, and perfect adaptability. These were all the forces that Shaw had personally experienced regarding the endless evolution of the Progenitor Virus.

“Not bad, my body feels like it has evolved again. Your abilities have helped me become even stronger.” Wesker, still wearing sunglasses, smiled coldly. Feeling that his physical attributes and strength had surpassed ten times that of before, Wesker said sarcastically.

"You actually... I knew." Sebastian Shaw's expression changed as he listened to Wesker's words. Shaw knew that Wesker knew he could absorb and reflect any energy, but these forces were all passive. If Wesker didn't attack but instead used poison gas, then needless to say, Shaw would be finished, after all, his body was that of an ordinary person.

“Now you know it’s too late,” Wesker said dismissively.

Shaw watched as Wesker slowly approached without attacking, but Shaw was terrified. He grabbed the pistol from his desk and aimed it at Wesker. "Bang bang bang..." A dozen gunshots rang out in the office, but to Shaw's surprise, Wesker, like a computer agent from The Matrix, dodged all the bullets with a slight movement.

"Hmph." Wesker snorted coldly, turning into a blur as he grabbed the gun Shaw was holding. With a gentle squeeze, the pistol instantly turned into parts.

"What exactly do you want?" Sebastian Shaw asked helplessly. Clearly, Wesker hadn't attacked him to gain energy; all the bullets in his pistol had been fired, making it impossible to generate any more energy. Without the energy of a nuclear reactor, Shaw was incredibly weak, practically an ordinary person. While passively absorbing any energy might make Shaw stronger, it also meant he lacked powerful offensive capabilities.

“I already told you, it’s your blood,” Wesker said calmly, then took out a syringe and slowly inserted it into Shaw’s neck. After drawing 500 milliliters of Shaw’s blood and carefully cutting a piece of muscle tissue, Wesker nodded in satisfaction. He placed the collected samples in an insulated box along with Eric’s blood sample, and the mission was finally completed successfully.

“Umbrella, Wesker, I swear I will make you pay the price once I have a large number of mutants.” Sebastian Shaw was not only drained of blood this time, but he was also greatly shocked. He never expected that he would use his powers in front of anyone. But Wesker knew. Watching Wesker leave with the spoils and get into the helicopter, a cold glint flashed in Sebastian Shaw’s eyes.

Sebastian Shaw may not know the terrifying nature of Umbrella. His genes would definitely be incorporated into the Tyrant series of bioweapons. Even if he thought of ways to improve the weaknesses of his superpowers, he wouldn't be a match for Umbrella. This is the power of technology, the power of Umbrella in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 13 Preparations for War

"Wesker, you did a good job this time. As a reward, the Paris branch is yours." Tang Tian said with a smile, looking at the blood sample Wesker had received, satisfied with his operation.

In reality, Wesker was fighting the Black King. Even after collecting the blood of both the Black King and Magneto, Tang Tian, ​​far away at Umbrella Corporation headquarters in New York City, had already learned the outcome through Red Queen. Wesker completed his mission, obtained the samples, and returned to New York City. Tang Tian had already decided on the reward: the Paris branch. Giving Wesker benefits was necessary. Although Wesker's loyalty was quite good after the causal point modification, it still motivated him to move forward. For example, the Perfect Ouroboros virus in Resident Evil was created by Wesker.

"Yes, I understand, I will do my best." Wesker said coldly, but he was very satisfied. Tang Tian's generous nature and deep shrewdness suited Wesker's taste.

"Alright, go on downstairs," Tang Tian said casually. Wesker nodded and left the bioweapons lab.

During the six months of World War II, Umbrella developed rapidly, accumulating capital quickly through the sale of medicine and arms, and the number of Umbrella agents infiltrating various countries also increased. Since Tang Tian's transmigration, the most developed area has been biological weapons. Enhanced versions of Licker, Tyrant, and Nemesis already exist, and the T-virus killer bees and Plant 42 from Resident Evil 0 are all worth considering for development. High-tech weaponry is relatively weak, with only electromagnetic and laser weapons and medium-sized spaceships. Robots cannot be manufactured due to a lack of high-tech weaponry data.

Tang Tian's first colony, Planet Ape, had a colony where three months in the real world equaled 50 years. Currently, parts of Planet Ape are used as bases for biological and high-tech weaponry, and large quantities of Solar Ladder plants are cultivated there, since the T-virus and Superhuman Serum were extracted from the Solar Ladder. The current government on Planet Ape is a federal government established by the indigenous humans and Umbrella. The Steel Empire plan has not yet been implemented. The ruling class consists of 100 million humans and 30 million ape slaves. In the modernized Planet Ape, apes will be considered less than pigs or dogs in the eyes of knowledgeable humans, much like in India under British rule, becoming slaves to humanity.

Six months have passed in reality, and 50 years have gone by in the colony. The industrial base and cities have definitely been established. The colony's army consists of Tang Tian's genetic clones. Through continuous transfers of mana from the planet Ape, the Umbrella army has reached two million in number. However, the resistance of the ape slaves who were originally the rulers continues, but it has been brutally suppressed by the human army equipped with firearms.

--- Main topic dividing line---

"Red Queen, extract mutant genes to create new Tyrants and bioweapons using their blood, and then we can implement the codenamed Bio-Mutant Weapon Project." After Wesker left, Tang Tian arranged a new plan.

“Okay, Mastermind,” Red Queen said casually.

Looking back on this period, Tang Tian felt things were going quite well. Umbrella obtained the Superman serum and Dr. Irkin, and even conquered a colony on Planet of the Apes. Some might ask why not go to the next dimension, but Tang Tian would say it's best not to bite off more than you can chew. While things are developing well now, they lack significant power. Furthermore, Tang Tian differs from most transmigrators in the World War II Marvel universe; he won't actively participate in the Asian wars and won't engage in any homosexual relationships with Captain America. This is the biggest difference between Tang Tian and some other transmigrators.

"How's Alfred doing? How's life at the USS?" Tang Tian from Umbrella headquarters gave Alfred a big hug with a smile. Before leaving Rockford Island, Tang Tian sent Alfred and Steve to the USS for training and injected them with the Superman serum to enhance their abilities.

"Boss, it feels great. The serum makes me feel full of power." Alfred looked strong and powerful in his black combat suit, no longer the noble young master he had been before. This proved that people who have experienced iron and blood will be changed.

"Very good, are you ready?" Tang Tian said calmly, looking at Alfred's resolute and angular face.

“No problem. What do you need me to do, sir?” Alfred said seriously.

"Your and Steve's mission is to attack Hydra Base with Captain America. I need Dr. Zola," Tang Tian said simply.

Umbrella is now fully engaged in the war, but only against Hydra's last remaining bases. Germany is my best market for arms, and I also sell arms to the Allies to maintain a balance of power.

"The mission is fine, but I'm puzzled why, with our capabilities, we'd be joining that actor—referring to Captain America—in attacking Hydra Base." Alfred's face darkened, and he said speechlessly. Calling Captain America an actor was too kind; after all, when Captain America toured with beautiful women, the US national debt increased several times over. Of course, the women were more interested in the women than Captain America.

"Our target is Dr. Zola, the energy weapon designer at Hydra Base. That's our real objective," Tang Tian said after a moment's thought.

“I understand. When do we start?” Alfred nodded and said.

"It's about to begin. Captain America has already destroyed most of the Hydra bases, leaving only the last one," Tang Tian said solemnly. Tang Tian didn't obtain many energy batteries and weapons from the Hydra bases. This time, the last base must contain the stable energy conversion device and Dr. Zola that he needs. In order not to affect the plot, the Tesseract does not plan to plunder them.

“Yes, sir,” Alfred replied quickly.

Recently, Tang Tian accidentally absorbed the energy battery created by the Cosmic Cube, which restored his gravity ability and teleportation ability. For this mission, Tang Tian decided to absorb more of the cube's energy. If he absorbs enough, Tang Tian's abilities and magic will merge into a simple yet powerful force.

Speaking of Tang Tian's acquired gravity-based superpowers that allow him to absorb energy and his spatial ability to store items, these are no ordinary powers. They were transplanted from the genes of the God of Gravity and the Dimensional Rat. Back then, the God of Gravity destroyed a galaxy in an entire story world with a single blow. This demonstrates the terrifying power of the God of Gravity. The Dimensional Rat is also quite formidable, possessing extremely powerful abilities for spatial teleportation and free dimensional traversal. As for the magical power within Tang Tian, ​​it is the power of his soul transplanted from a magical dimension, digitized from knowledge and technology. The remaining cultivation rune power is also considerable, similar to the rune technology controlled by Chu, Yun, and Sheng in Black Blood.

Chapter 14 Pre-war Arms Deal

"You keep failing. Our plan to conquer this planet is about to succeed, but it keeps getting delayed because you can't handle that idiot with the shield." With Red Skull's angry roar, the scene before us was the ruins of the Hydra base that Captain America had destroyed.

Red Skull has been extremely unhappy lately. He's watching as the Hydra, powered by Dr. Zola's energy weapons, grows stronger and conquers more territory. But then, a thorn in his side—no, it's Captain America. Because of this shield-wielding idiot, the Hydra base is suffering more and more. And for some reason, Red Skull has offended the Umbrella Corporation, resulting in the complete raiding of one of their bases and the theft of all their energy batteries. But that's not all; Umbrella's electromagnetic railguns are no less powerful than the Hydra's energy weapons. So, with Captain America's main attacks and Umbrella's opportunistic actions, the Hydra organization is in dire straits.

"This isn't my specialty. I can only invent weapons, but I don't know how to use them," Dr. Zola explained helplessly. After all, although the weapons were very powerful, his defeat was inevitable when he encountered Captain America.

Dr. Zola has been pondering a question lately: why such different bosses? Umbrella courted him with promises of high positions, while Hydra and the Red Skull merely used him. Furthermore, with the Hydra organization on the verge of collapse, Dr. Zola is also considering his options.

"Complete your mission, Doctor. Don't get killed by those Americans before then," Red Skull commanded again.

“I understand,” Dr. Zola replied, then reached into his clothes and pressed a special receiver—a small communication device hacked from the *War of the Apes* dimension, now widely deployed. Meanwhile, Tang Tian and his group, who were about to reunite with Captain America's government, looked at the information displayed on the small, high-tech communication device and revealed a strange smile.

"Steve, your mission is to rescue Dr. Zola. Can you do it?" Tang Tian asked, his smile fading.

"No problem, sir," Steve said seriously. Although he was not as strong as Steve after Veronica's mutation, the Superman serum had also brought about more enhancements to his body.

---------------------------------- Divider ---------------------------------- "Hello Captain America, you've really been leading the way lately, making contributions to the world." In the final operation, in the military's high-level conference room, Tang Tian smiled and shook hands with Captain America.

"Hello Mr. Donald, welcome to Umbrella in the fight against fascism. The meeting is about to begin, please come in." Captain America Rogers naturally shook hands with Tang Tian.

Captain America's shield is made of adamantium, the hardest metal in the Marvel Universe. It's also the material used to create Wolverine's claws and Yachida's Silver Samurai, possessing the ability to absorb and deflect any energy. Its characteristics are similar to Black King's power, but with far fewer weaknesses.

Agent Carter led Tang Tian to the conference room. Phillips, the executive officer in charge of the plan to destroy Hydra, nodded at Tang Tian and then spoke.

“John Schmidt should be thrown into an insane asylum. Since he thinks he’s a god and wants to blow up half the world, let’s start with America,” said Phillips, the project’s executive officer, seriously. Tang Tian nodded in understanding.

“Schmidt’s power is beyond our capabilities. He could wipe out the East Coast in an hour if he just crossed the Atlantic.” After obtaining the spoils collected by Tang Tian, ​​Howard Stark studied the Hydra energy weapon. Fortunately, Tang Tian provided the information from the last Stark Expo, so the study of this terrifying weapon was very fast. The power of the high-tech weapon made Stark see the power of light, which may be the reason why he created the atomic bomb.
