Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

What does it mean that his so-called wealthy district boasts the world's most stringent security measures?

"Sir, do you need me to help you redesign the security system?"

“No, Jarvis, you know that the regular security system is no longer effective.”

Tony shook his head.

He turned to look at the distant waves, the moonlight as bright as his eyes.

Tony muttered to himself, "I need weapons and equipment to fight those things."

“I have to develop something myself to protect myself, Jarvis.”

Tony was perfectly lucid.

Relying on others is unreliable. Can America's so-called most powerful military fight against those monsters?

He has a very high opinion of this.

Even if they could fight back, they would suffer heavy losses.

“Jarvis, immediately lock onto and track those mysterious armies. I need their information, I need to contact them, I need to obtain their armor, I need their energy technology weapons, and I need to know why they are so powerful.”

Chapter 167 The Upper Limit of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The top floor of an empty building somewhere in Manhattan.

Wearing a trench coat and a round hat, Mephisto looked in amazement toward Times Square.

I saw the girl on the top floor of the Times Square building.

Even with Mephisto's extensive knowledge, he couldn't tell that the girl possessed such a level of power.

When Skye began her battle with the demons.

In addition to his physical strength, martial arts skills, and weaponry, he also used shockwave abilities.

It was strong, but not particularly eye-catching; Mephisto himself only glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, this ability is quite ordinary for him.

Mephisto is not unaware of the mutant community.

Biskey's abilities seem even more exaggerated and unbelievable, but they do possess other abilities as well.

It refers to the ability to understand.

To Mephisto's surprise, Skye suddenly used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power.

Mephisto had no idea what a Devil Fruit was.

They assumed it was Skye's own power.

After all, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is essentially a form of vibrational energy.

Similar to Skye's abilities, however, Mephisto has a different perspective on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power.

That is the vibrating space.

The moment this ability emerged, it represented a qualitative change.

No matter how powerful the oscillation force is, it is at most a destructive force at the physical level, at most subtle, manipulating physical oscillations, sound waves, and vibrational energy at the molecular level.

Vibrational spaces are entirely different.

Mephisto could tell that this ability not only shook space, but also the atmosphere.

However, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit directly vibrates space itself, not objects.

This power is capable of directly interfering with dimensions and magic, and the areas and levels it touches are completely different from what we see today.

To put it bluntly, there are differences in ability.

Before the potential for fluctuations is revealed, Skye's current ability development ceiling doesn't really give Mephisto any sense of unease.

But the fact that she could shatter space made Mephisto immediately realize that the girl's abilities touched upon the rules.

Its potential ceiling is ridiculously high.

Mephisto's collecting instincts kicked in immediately, and if he could, he would have loved to secretly kidnap Skye.

But now he can only watch enviously from here, not daring to move an inch.

It's because of Matthew, who's with him.

"Humans are truly a race with limitless possibilities," Mephisto said sourly.

Matthew didn't even need to use his Observation Haki to know that the old man was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

He smiled.

"Indeed, humans may be weak, but once they break through those limits and shackles, they will always do amazing things."

Regardless of whether it's good or bad.

Matthew added in his mind.

Humans are inherently disadvantaged compared to other powerful races.

Earth could be one of the centers of the universe.

Humans are an anomaly.

An enigmatic and unpredictable individual.

Whether for better or worse, they can give other races a big surprise if they're not careful.

Many of the major crises in the Infinite Crisis series originated from human beings themselves.

As for Mephisto's envy, Matthew wouldn't tell the old man that it was entirely because the other party had given him a high-level demon soul.

The high-level demon soul allowed Matthew to immediately unlock a top-tier Devil Fruit after absorbing it from his Devil Fruit encyclopedia.

There are many top-tier Devil Fruits.

For example, Logia-type Devil Fruits like the Magma-Magma Fruit and the Ice-Ice Fruit, as well as the Soul-Soul Fruit, the Ancient Mythical Zoan type Fish-Fish Fruit (Azure Dragon Form), and the Dark-Dark Fruit, and so on.

Regardless of the type of fruit, any Astartes or raven that eats it will experience a leap in combat power.

But Matthew ultimately chose the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which he had planned in advance.

And it was handed over to Skye.

It seems redundant and wasteful to give the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to Skye, who already possesses the ability to vibrate.

That's not actually the case at all.

The reason is quite simple: Matthew felt that Skye's World Destroyer attribute was insufficient.

It's strong enough, but not top-tier.

It can be said that Skye's abilities in the early stages gave her an advantage over other Astartes, but as her strength increases, this advantage will be quickly narrowed or even eliminated.

In the future, its only advantage may be its efficiency in dominating the battlefield and slaughtering weak opponents.

However, against truly powerful opponents, this ability is useful but not very effective.

Even if Skye is learning modern knowledge, the same applies to maximizing her abilities.

However, after eating the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Skye's abilities will undergo a complete transformation.

The combination of these two oscillating forces is enough to spark imagination.

Moreover, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit has a higher potential ceiling and an infinite amount of development potential.

It's a real and tangible transformation.

It would be most suitable to give it to Skye.

Mephisto's envious expression clearly shows this.

As for this major event in Manhattan, although it exposed Astartes and Ravens to the world, it will inevitably attract much attention and vigilance in the future.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Matthew previously wanted to keep a low profile, simply to further develop his business and solidify its foundation.

In reality, his power is already quite exaggerated.

If Matthew wanted to, with his current abilities and two battle groups, he could control the entire United States in a very short time.

But he was unwilling to do so.

Too much trouble.

Putting aside the fact that old bastard Nick Fury still has an interstellar pager that can summon Big Mom at any time, what if he manages to summon Big Mom back?

Matthew really can't do anything about it for the time being.

Regardless of anything else, Captain Marvel's combat prowess is at the level of the Celestials, specifically in her Binary form.

Normally, he is a sub-Father, even slightly inferior to the Father.

He wouldn't have encountered such an enemy and adversary for no reason, by occupying the United States.

Matthew believed he wouldn't lose, but he also couldn't win.

Occupying the United States would do more harm than good, and the subsequent tasks of eliminating existing enemies, appointing officials, and rebuilding order would be too time-consuming.

So Matthew has been quietly developing his business.

Maintaining the existing order, developing further, and then planning for future success is the best approach.

The wisdom and lessons of our ancestors are still vivid in our minds.

Build walls high, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.

Now that his plans have been exposed because of Casillas, it seems to have disrupted his original plans, but it's not a big problem.

What good does it do to get attention?

Who on Earth can do anything to him now?

If he wants to develop, no one can stop him. The world's strongest country, the villainous BOSS, etc., are all just a piece of cake in front of him now.

In fact, if Matthew hadn't tacitly approved...

Matthew single-handedly and quietly handled the Manhattan demon invasion.

His level is basically overwhelming nowadays.

He even knew exactly where Casillas was.

Therefore, all of Casillas's so-called schemes and plans were simply under his control.

Chapter 168 The Cautious Miss Skye (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

“There are quite a few interesting people in this city,” Mephisto suddenly remarked.

He scanned the area with great interest.

Matthew glanced at the old man, then turned back without saying anything more.

Mephisto never came to New York.

Because he simply didn't dare to come.

Mephisto was able to secretly project his energy onto Earth, and the Ancient One tacitly approved of this.

Mephisto himself knew very well.

However, he couldn't just run off to New York without any restraint, knowing that there was a sanctuary for sorcerers there.

The magic defense mechanisms here mean that Mephisto will definitely be detected whenever he comes.

The current Kamar-Taj is not the one that will emerge after the Ancient One's death, where internal strife caused by Kaecilius or Mordo's defection leads to large-scale magical defense vulnerabilities.
