Marvel's Death Merchant

Tang Tian surveyed the experimental site. Aside from the few zombies and sentinel robots, there were indeed no other advanced weapons. Tang Tian was quite satisfied, because the weapons he used were for dealing with enemies; his experiments were simply to increase his strength, so there was no need to bring out valuable weapons.

The Hulkbuster armor is relatively easy to deal with if it's just a Hunter or Sentinel robot. As one of Tang Tian's most powerful weapons, after being controlled, it fought against the remaining bio-weapons in the experimental site without sustaining a single scratch.

The materials used in the Hulkbuster armor are among the strongest on Earth. The materials used to manufacture it are even super-memory metals from satellites, possessing not only offensive power but also rapid regeneration capabilities, making it arguably the perfect war machine.

The advantage of the Hulkbuster armor is that it cannot be infected by the T-virus; otherwise, with such powerful attack capabilities, it might have wiped out the entire human army.

Tang Tian simply watched as his men created the weapons he had ordered. He had great confidence in his development capabilities, which was why he possessed the power to protect himself.

While the T-virus can indeed stimulate cell regeneration, this is only possible because it requires a large amount of nutrients. How could a non-organic organism like the Hulkbuster armor possibly provide enough nutrients? Therefore, to deal with a continuous stream of organisms, using this massive device is the best option.

Organisms infected with the T-virus generally require sufficient food, so once infected, they begin a hunting life, constantly acquiring food and nutrients. In other words, they are still in the process of mutation and evolution, thus becoming stronger and stronger.

"The Sentinel robots are no match for the Hulkbuster armor. There are quite a few Sentinel robots, but unfortunately, the Hulkbuster armor has absolute power." Tang Tian said with some surprise after seeing the Hulkbuster armor smash the Sentinel robots to pieces with just its fists.

“Of course, the mainframe. The difference in their strength is simply too great. Moreover, the Sentinel robots are made of only polymer materials. The Hulkbuster armor, on the other hand, possesses astonishing power and can destroy the Sentinel robots before they even use their mutant powers.” Zeus carefully explained the advantages of the different weapons, letting Tang Tian know about the success of his weapon creation.

Considering his own strength, Tang Tian was quite aware of it. From having very little when he first arrived in the Marvel Universe to now controlling several dimensions, Tang Tian was confident he could accomplish his goals.

In this experimental field, the super-powered mechanical army that Tang Tian had just trained didn't appear. However, there were quite a few bio-weapons possessing some intelligence, probably around a thousand without even looking. They had been swaying freely after breaking free of their restraints, but now, under Zeus's control, the steel invaders were rushing over excitedly.

The T-virus's function makes these bioweapons tireless. It accelerates metabolism and stimulates cell regeneration; given sufficient nutrition, the affected organism will experience intense hunger. Therefore, whether it's zombies or other creatures like Lickers, they will all seek out fresh food.

Of course, if the attack wasn't being carried out under Zeus's control, then biological weapons wouldn't be interested in non-living things.

Under Zeus's control, they almost lost their minds. They just rushed up and tore at the Iron Giant. As for the effect, Tang Tian could tell from the countless biological weapons that had been riddled with bullets by the Hulkbuster armor.

"Zeus, the Hulkbuster armor is impressive. I'd like to know about its production volume and whether it can be deployed in large numbers during wartime," Tang Tian asked Zeus after considering its value in war.

"Master, production is still not very high. To obtain high-quality metal, we can only purchase large quantities of various metals from this world. Therefore, we can only produce 20 armors per month. We are also accelerating our efforts to overcome the difficulties." Zeus quickly retrieved and recorded the information about the Hulkbuster armor and reported to Tang Tian.

“That’s not bad either. My requirement is to speed things up. These weapons will be extremely important for future warfare.” Tang Tian thought for a moment and then said seriously to Zeus.

“No problem, your command is our highest thought,” the lines formed by Zeus said fervently.

"Alright, now let me test the combat capabilities of the Hulkbuster armor," Tang Tian suddenly commanded seriously, clearly interested in the combat power of the new weapon.

"Alright, let the battle begin," Zeus said decisively.

Zeus then switched to the Hulkbuster armor, preparing to fight Tang Tian, ​​recording data and letting Tang Tian test his power.

Under Zeus's control, the Hulkbuster armor took off, quickly reaching Tang Tian. Its supersonic speed, combined with gravitational potential energy, propelled it towards Tang Tian on the ground.

"Since it's a test, let's see how strong the virus in my body is after it evolves." Tang Tian put aside his idea of ​​using superpowers and prepared to test the armor's explosive power with his own strength.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!" Two people of different heights collided, producing a violent impact sound.

"Not bad, the strength level is very good. This kind of power will be very effective against the Hulk," Tang Tian thought to himself as he sensed the power within. At the same time, because Tang Tian possessed the power to control gravity, he was able to absorb the opponent's power, allowing him to remain in a position where he wouldn't be defeated.

Zeus also controlled the heavy weaponry inside the Hulkbuster armor, unleashing a barrage of micro-missiles at Tang Tian. The sheer number of missiles was immense, instantly...

Like the Jericho missile, it saturates and bombards Tang Tian, ​​who is not using any superpowers.

The explosion lasted for 10 minutes in just a moment, and Tang Tian did not use any superpowers within the blast radius.

"My physical strength is indeed impressive. The high-explosive micro-missile didn't even manage to penetrate my defenses." Tang Tian looked at himself after the explosion and found that he only had a little dust on him. His clothes and such were damaged because of the super material that Tang Tian had found. There was no damage at all after the explosion, and the fragments of the explosion did not cause Tang Tian even the slightest trouble.

Then, the Hulkbuster armor continued to use advanced weapons such as laser weapons and Gauss weapons, which initially managed to break through Tang Tian's defenses instantly. However, after Tang Tian fully adapted to the attacks from these high-tech weapons, the subsequent attacks became completely ineffective.

Tang Tian's experiment was a great success, and he has rapidly enhanced his strength.

Zeus then said to Tang Tian, ​​"Mastermind, your strength is already immense. However, you still need powerful opponents to allow you to continue evolving." (To be continued...)

Chapter 231 Jack VS The Hunter

After Zeus finished training Tang Tian's superpowers, he planned to send Jack Muller, Wesker's son, to fight and strengthen himself. Although Wesker's son, like Wesker, could fuse the Progenitor Virus and the G-Virus.

Tang Tian sent Bill's team to Tokyo, which had practically become a zombie apocalypse. However, Tang Tian still didn't use nuclear weapons to destroy it, since some people needed to leave. So Tang Tian's plan was to wait.

Tang Tian had Zero bring Jack to him. He planned to go to the movie dimension to obtain a lot of advanced technology after preparing for the events in the Marvel world, since the key to Tang Tian's rise was constantly acquiring technology.

"Jack, do you know why I sent you here?" Tang Tian waved his hand, signaling Zero to leave, then turned to Jack and asked with a smile.

“Yes, it’s you who feels somewhat familiar to me.” Jack seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Tang Tian.

"However, now is not the time to talk. You can join the Watchers once you pass the test," Tang Tian said calmly, his plan hidden behind his sunglasses.

As a result, Jack had just arrived at the other side of the experimental site when he came face to face with the hunter inside, and Tang Tian's purpose became obvious.

The hunter seemed to be searching for him everywhere. As soon as it saw him, it became extremely excited. After roaring, it pushed off with its hind legs and, with a "thud," completely ignored the six or seven-meter height and ran up.

Having just merged with the virus, Jack dared not confront it head-on and immediately ran backward. Knowing the hunter's terror, Jack pulled out a riot shield made of alloy from the area, but it was completely useless. With a loud bang, he saw the hunter's massive body pounce on him.

As for Jack's riot shield, it was instantly shattered into pieces, many of which hit me. Jack, of course, was unlucky enough to be sent flying.

He had no time to be surprised by its power, because his own situation was probably no better than the shield's. This was his first time facing a hunter. And it was a test given to him by someone he knew well.

Standing before it, Jack finally got a clear look at the monster. Judging from its appearance alone, the Hunter and the Licker were completely different species. The Licker had no distinguishable limbs and could be classified as a reptile; its body seemed to have no complete skin, only a sticky surface.

The predator, however, is entirely different. It can walk upright, and of course, it can also use its powerful hind legs to leap and climb, resembling a gorilla somewhat. However, its appearance is extremely ferocious. Its eyes, though not large, are incredibly fierce, their gaze like knives, as if it wants to tear a piece of flesh from your body. Even more terrifying are the two fangs at the corners of its mouth, incredibly sharp, still stained with blood, clearly from tearing apart the monster's body, making its originally white fangs appear even more eerie.

Compared to the Licker, the Hunter's body is much larger, roughly twice its size. Unlike the Licker, it doesn't appear to have no skin; instead, it's covered in a thick layer of scales. The hardness of these scales is currently unknown, but judging from their bright color, they are clearly extraordinary. Even if not as sturdy as bulletproof vests, they are probably impenetrable by ordinary materials.

Thinking of this, Jack gripped the dagger in his hand. This was a chance Tang Tian had given him: to try and kill the hunter without using his own strength.

The dagger in Jack's hand is a relatively sturdy alloy weapon provided by Tang Tian. It is much stronger than ordinary steel.

Jack wondered if this sharp dagger could kill the Hunter. Even though Jack worried it wouldn't pass the test, he was now just a straw to grasp, clinging tightly to it, because he had nothing else to rely on, and Tang Tian wouldn't allow him to do that.

His body, modified by the T-virus, and the dagger were his only weapons. Of course, if Tang Tian provided Jack with the C-virus, then easily taking down the Tyrant would be a piece of cake.

Suddenly, as if someone had given Jack immense power, Jack became incredibly confident, as if the hunters before him were nothing more than insects. Wesker's fighting talent was unleashed.

This struck Jack as extremely strange, as if it were something he was naturally entitled to possess. What was even stranger was that, despite knowing his own oddity, he couldn't change his perception of the hunter before him, as if it had somehow ignited his fighting spirit.

But at this moment, Jack knew that having enough confidence was obviously not a bad thing, but he didn't dwell on the reasons. Instead, he focused on dealing with the monster in front of him. He wanted to pass Tang Tian's test. He knew that person would definitely give him back his lost memories.

If it weren't for the fact that he was lucky enough to have the virus implanted in Tang Tian and fused with the T-virus, evolving from a combatant to gain astonishing physical strength, he would probably have been easily killed by the Hunter.

He secretly congratulated himself on his good fortune while using his viral senses to anticipate the hunter's actions. Now, Jack didn't know how it would attack.

It is estimated that he is not yet able to use this sensory ability flexibly and effectively. His senses can only tell him that the biological virus in front of him is more evolved than him, but do not indicate the actions that the hunter is about to take.

Because of the Jack virus, he escaped multiple times. As a result, the hunter became somewhat agitated. Its originally upright body slowly lay down on the ground, and its sharp claws rubbed back and forth against the alloy wall, cutting deep cracks.

The experimental site was very large. The hunter pounced on him. Jack did not use his full strength, nor did he dare or could fight it head-on. He dodged the hunter's attacks one by one, which allowed Jack to gradually adapt to the rhythm of the battle.

Because of the numerous obstacles in the experimental area, Jack was able to quickly escape and hide in another spot. The Monster Hunter, despite its massive size and incredible speed, couldn't match Jack's agility; it would dodge here and there, making it impossible for him to keep up.

Evasion was merely a temporary measure. After his escape, Jack grew increasingly anxious. At this rate, he would eventually be killed by the monster, and then he would be completely finished. Jack was trying to think of a way to trap it, hoping to buy some time to devise a plan to eliminate the hunter.

Although that's what Jack thought, the hunter was moving extremely fast. Apart from constantly dodging and retreating to other open spaces, Jack didn't have time to do anything else.

Jack knew that if things continued like this, there would be no turning back, so he was thinking about what to do, or he would have to fight to the death.

Jack gritted his teeth, leaped upwards, and performed a somersault at the highest point. He landed on the top of the tower, which, although quite high, was very fragile.

Jack closed his eyes, sensing his own power, his hands gripping the dagger tightly. He was pondering how to take down the Hunter. Jack wasn't Leon, and he certainly couldn't kill many bio-monsters with just a small pistol. (To be continued...)

Chapter 232 Evenly matched

"Thud!" Jack free-falls from the tower, landing on the hunter below, but his dagger misses its head. The hunter seems to sense the danger behind its head, shifting forward slightly just as the dagger pierces it.

The dagger pierced its neck, but Jack's fears were not realized. Although the hunter's scales were sturdy, the dagger's material was no joke, so the dagger sank in smoothly with a soft "thud" until it was completely inside the hilt.

Jack was overjoyed, but couldn't help feeling a pang of regret. If it hadn't been by just a fraction, he could have plunged the bullet directly into the hunter's head. No matter how powerful the hunter was, without control, it was doomed.

The dagger plunged deep into the hunter's body, and Jack, without hesitation, quickly pulled it out and lunged for its head. However, the hunter was still a hunter; the knife to the neck wasn't fatal, and it realized that Jack on its back posed a significant threat.

The hunter didn't give me a chance to stay on its back. It suddenly jumped up, flipped 180 degrees, and then fell to the ground with its back to the ground.

Jack understood. This clever hunter wanted to pin him down.

Jack understood the intelligent monster's purpose and shuddered. The hunter weighed over a ton; if he were to be crushed beneath it, he would be dead.

In the instant the hunter rolled over, Jack seized the opportunity to stab it in the chest, using the momentum to get onto its front.

With a thud, the hunter's back slammed heavily into the ground, its weight of over a ton causing the alloy floor to buckle.

Jack couldn't help but feel a little relieved, secretly relieved that he had narrowly escaped death. If he had been trapped underneath, he feared that every bone in his body would have been shattered.

But the situation didn't allow him to continue celebrating. The hunter was stabbed again in the chest, and the pain enraged it even more. Its claws moved incredibly fast, snapping shut to crush and tear him apart.

Jack wasn't about to let it succeed; he used his agility to dodge to the side.

Jack tilted his head back to examine it, concentrating intently. The virus-infected organism activated its senses to pinpoint its location.

Jack is now using this amazing virus sensory ability. Although he still can't pinpoint the exact location of the hunter, he can at least use it at will, as naturally as the functions of his five senses.

Blood continued to gush from the hunter's two wounds. The one on its neck was deeper and shorter, while the one on its chest was shallower and much longer. Although neither wound was fatal, they were both in critical locations. While the T-virus within its body was slowly healing, the healing process was not yet very successful.

Then the hunter swept across, its sharp claws flashing with several chilling streaks of light. Even a slight touch from the attack would likely be fatal.

The hunter's claws had turned metallic, their construction unknown, yet they were incredibly sharp, easily slicing through the alloy of the experimental site—a testament to the strength of the metal there, comparable to the titanium alloy used in satellites.

Relying on his incredible speed and leaping ability, Jack dodged the hunter's relentless claw strikes. It attacked with its left claw. He dodged to the right. He occasionally retaliated with a strike or two, but because the dagger was too short, and the previous two strikes had greatly heightened the hunter's vigilance, he couldn't touch its body at all.

This is a one-sided battle; if it continues like this, there's absolutely no suspense. Jack has to find a way. The T-virus within him seems to be compelling Jack to use his powers.

In just a short while, Jack was already panting heavily and almost out of energy.

Jack was extremely hungry; his stomach was empty except for gastric juices. He had also been fighting for a long time and needed sufficient nutrients, which hadn't been provided. Therefore, in his current poor condition, Jack was in no way able to quickly eliminate the hunter.

Reason told Jack that he couldn't afford to get entangled with the hunter any longer; in his current physical condition, he simply couldn't fight it off. But how could he escape? Jack's head started spinning. In the current situation, with the hunter relentlessly slashing with its claws, turning to run away would be tantamount to suicide; it was better to continue fighting.

The hunter was almost as fast as Jack, and its leaping ability far surpassed Jack's. Jack was now trying to evade the dangerous hunter and find an opportunity to kill it.

As Jack dodged the hunter's swift attacks, he racked his brains for a way to escape, but none of them worked. Schemes seemed so insignificant and useless in the face of overwhelming power.

Through constant battles, Jack finally understood that in this cruel world, sheer strength was the only thing one could rely on. If he could survive, he had to do everything in his power to increase his strength, even if it meant fusing with a more powerful evolutionary virus.

With a bang, the last riot shield Jack pulled out shattered into pieces under the Hunter's relentless attacks. The Hunter increased the speed of its claw attacks, thrusting its head forward as it continued its charge.

Jack sat on the ground to rest; he was truly in a situation where he had nowhere to retreat.

The Hunter seemed to sense Jack's impending doom and let out another roar, as if foreshadowing victory. Under Tang Tian's optimization, the Hunter and other bio-weapons continued to improve their attack power and intelligence. Although they weren't yet as perfect as the Pursuer, as long as Tang Tian continued his research and development, he was certain to obtain unexpected results.

The hunter charged again, its claws slashing left and right, blocking Jack's escape routes. Its head lolled forward, its gaping maw revealing two menacing fangs, and its long tongue writhed like a venomous snake, a dangerous and frustrating sight.

However, Jack did not break down because of this. He began to adapt to his own power and fought against the hunters. Although it was dangerous, it also brought Jack unexpected benefits.

Because in that instant, the T-virus within Jack's body was truly and fully developed. On the brink of life and death, the evolving T-virus pointed Jack to a path of survival, even a path of continuous evolution.

Just as the hunter closed its claws, about to tear Jack apart...
