Chapter 2490 - Ch: 281-289

Chapter 281: You Want to Die? Go Pick Cotton!

"Tsk tsk, this mine is truly massive! The mining technology here is also exceptionally advanced, truly worthy of Wakanda's technology."

Alice exclaimed, her fingers gently brushing over an exposed Vibranium ore, feeling its unique energy fluctuations.

The entire process seemed to go smoothly, with the Wakandan personnel cooperatively showcasing various ore layers and explaining the history and current state of mining.

However, when Loren walked to a mine tunnel labeled "Seventh Auxiliary Vein, low reserves, almost depleted," his footsteps halted.

This tunnel indeed did not appear as wide and bright as the other main tunnels; it even looked somewhat abandoned, and the monitoring equipment at the entrance seemed a bit old.

"This place doesn't look as simple as the report says."

Loren's voice was unremarkable, yet it instantly made Princess Shuri, who was following behind him, turn pale.

"Mr. Loren, here… the Vibranium ore here has indeed been almost completely mined, with only some low-grade ore left, which has little value, so we…"

Shuri hurried forward to explain, her voice carrying a trace of imperceptible panic.

Loren slowly turned his head, his deep eyes looking at Shuri with no emotional fluctuations, yet Shuri felt as if she was being stared at by a prehistoric beast, her blood almost freezing.

"Princess Shuri," Loren's voice remained calm, but carried an unquestionable authority.

"Do you think that under my mental perception, such a crude energy shielding method can be effective?"

He extended his finger and gently pointed at the seemingly ordinary rock wall.

His fingertip did not touch the rock, but an invisible force instantly penetrated the wall!

Buzz—!

A low hum sounded, and the rock wall suddenly rippled with Water-like patterns.

Immediately, the disguise faded, revealing a brand new Vibranium door behind it.

Complex Wakandan script on the door was flashing, clearly an extremely advanced energy shielding and physical camouflage system.

Behind the door, a more concentrated and purer Vibraniumenergy fluctuation emanated than from the main vein!

"This… what is this…?" An Elder exclaimed in horror, apparently even he did not know this secret.

Princess Shuri's face completely lost its color, and her body swayed precariously.

She thought she had used Wakanda's top-tier technology to perfectly hide this rich ore vein.

She even adjusted the surrounding energy readings, attempting to preserve Wakanda's last spark of hope for resurgence.

But she never expected that in front of Loren, all of this was like a child's game, easily shattered.

"Concealing property clearly specified as mine in the agreement, it seems you wish to die?" Loren's voice turned cold, and the surrounding air seemed to drop in temperature instantly.

"Princess Shuri, are you, on behalf of Wakanda, challenging me again?"

Boom!

Without Loren needing to act, the Commander White had already stepped forward, her terrifying aura erupting like a mountain collapse and a tsunami, instantly engulfing the entire mine.

Members of the Royal Guard couldn't even stand steadily, stumbling backward, their energy spears humming incessantly, almost flying out of their hands.

They felt like tiny boats in a raging storm, liable to be crushed at any moment!

That sense of oppression, stemming from a difference in life level and absolute power, made them tremble and fear from the depths of their souls.

Although 18 did not unleash her aura, her gaze had already locked onto all of Wakanda's high-ranking officials.

A faint glow flickered at her fingertips; any slight movement from anyone would be met with destructive energy impact.

Alice sighed and shook her head: "Little princess, you are truly too unwise.

The Master giving you the opportunity to sign an agreement, rather than directly erasing Wakanda, was already his greatest mercy.

How dare you still play such petty tricks?"

Loren slowly walked towards Shuri.

Each step he took seemed to land on the heartbeats of the Wakandan people.

Fear, like cold vines, wrapped around everyone's spine, making them unable to breathe, unable to think.

They clearly recalled again the brief but desperate battle a week ago, remembering how this woman in front of them was as irresistible as a demon god.

Shuri looked at Loren, who was steadily approaching, and immense fear seized her; tears uncontrollably welled up.

"I… I'm sorry… Mr. Loren… I… I just wanted to…"

Loren stopped in front of her, looking down at her.

He did not use any power, but that invisible pressure already made Shuri almost suffocate.

"It seems the last lesson wasn't profound enough." Loren's voice was cold as iron.

"Wakanda seems to need a clearer memory."

He raised his hand, not pointing at Shuri, but at the sturdy alloy door.

No light shone, no earth-shattering sound occurred.

That Vibranium door, which embodied Wakanda's highest technology and was capable of resisting repeated attacks from heavy bunker-buster bombs.

It disintegrated and dissipated silently, like a piece of paper thrown into a raging Fire, starting from a point in the middle, turning into its most basic particles, completely annihilated, as if it had never existed.

At this moment, Loren used the power of the Reality Stone, but the Wakandan people naturally did not know this.

And such a scene completely shattered the Wakandan people's last psychological defense.

Technology? Defense?

In the face of such incomprehensible power, it was simply a joke!

Several Elders directly collapsed to the ground, the generals' faces were ashen, and the Royal Guards couldn't even hold their weapons.

This was not a battle; this was the helplessness of ants facing a giant wheel, the despair of mortals facing divine punishment!

Loren's gaze returned to Shuri.

Shuri was too frightened to speak, only staring at him in terror, tears streaming down her face.

"In view of your foolish actions!" Loren slowly spoke, each word like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of the Wakandan people.

"As punishment, I will not only confiscate all of Wakanda's Vibranium but also require you to pay five hundred billion U.S. dollars in reparations.

I give you two days to raise the funds, otherwise, your entire Wakanda will completely disappear from this World.

And your citizens will be thrown into cotton fields, destined to pick cotton for the rest of their lives."

Loren said coldly, seemingly without any emotion.

This punishment was undeniably severe.

500 billion U.S. dollars in reparations, even for affluent Wakanda, was no small sum.

The crucial last threat about picking cotton, this was simply demonic!

Loren's words were blatant discrimination, yet no one dared to object.

Some even felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

At least, the other party gave them two days, rather than direct annihilation.

"Oh, and one more thing!" Loren added, his gaze sweeping over all the Wakandan people.

"Shuri, as a princess of a nation, you need to set an example. For these two days, you will go to the fields and pick cotton! Let your body remember the price of defying me."

To make a princess of a nation, especially a technologist known for her intelligence, go pick cotton and do manual labor!

This was not only a punishment but also a great humiliation!

Shuri's face instantly flushed red, but more than that, it was fear and lingering terror.

She dared not voice any objection, only trembling and lowering her head: "Yes… As you command… Mr. Loren."

Loren gave them one last cold look: "This is the last chance. The survival of Wakanda rests solely on your own will. Do not test my patience again."

With that, he no longer paid attention to the paralyzed and terrified Wakandan people, gestured to Alice and the others, and turned to leave.

That newly discovered rich ore vein, in his eyes, seemed to be just a slightly special rock by the roadside.

The Commander White reined in her aura, coldly scanned the area, and followed behind Loren.

The faint glow at 18's fingertips extinguished, and she also turned to leave.

Alice walked up to the almost exhausted Shuri, bent down, and gently lifted her chin with her finger.

Looking at her tear-filled eyes, she chuckled: "Little princess, next time you should learn to be a bit more obedient.

The Master's power far exceeds your imagination.

Work hard, and who knows, if you perform well, the Master might even show a little consideration for Wakandain the future?"

With that, she straightened up, swayed her figure, and followed Loren's retreating Shadow.

Leaving behind a deathly silent mine and a group of Wakandan people completely enveloped by fear and awe.

They looked at the vanished door, then recalled Loren's god-like methods, and all that remained in their hearts was endless regret and complete submission.

They understood that from today onward, the fate of Wakanda was entirely in that man's hands.

And resistance, that word had been completely erased from their dictionary.

Princess Shuri slumped to the ground, the dirt staining her luxurious gown, but she was oblivious.

In her mind, there were only Loren's cold, emotionless eyes and the door that had instantly been annihilated.

At this moment, she truly understood what absolute power was, what irresistible authority was.

All her wishful thinking, all her petty tricks, were crushed to dust in the face of absolute reality.

Wakanda, only with reverence, could it survive.

Loren, however, seemed to have done only a trivial matter.

For him, taking over the Vibranium mine was just one step in his plan.

As for Wakanda's fear and awe?

That was the attitude they should have held all along.

Chapter 282 The thing that fell from the sky, the artificial angel, is coming!

After handling the Vibranium affairs in Wakanda and ensuring the smooth handover of the mine, Loren shifted his full attention back to his core objectives: one was to enhance his strength, and the other was to unlock more dimensional technology Worlds.

The construction of the gravity chamber, after the matters in Wakanda concluded, progressed at an astonishing pace and was already nearing completion.

At this moment, he was in the core laboratory beneath the castle.

Around him were flickering holographic screens displaying complex data streams and design blueprints.

Alice, the Commander White, Android 18, and a group of other wives were also present, either busy or resting.

Loren's consciousness sank into the system interface; after this period of accumulation, his system points had reached 140.

And opening a new dimensional World only required 100 system points.

This meant that he now had enough points to open a new World.

And through his efforts during this time, he had completely mastered the technology of the NieR: Automata World.

Whether it was the structure of the YoRHa Artificial Human, Black Box technology, Pod support systems, or various weapons and combat techniques, he had fundamentally understood and integrated them.

In addition, he had also mostly mastered various black technologies from the dragon ball World, such as Android Technology, Time Machine Technology, Gravity Room Technology, and Capsule Technology.

However, relying solely on the technologies from these two Worlds might give him an advantage in the early stages of the Marvel Universe.

But it was far from enough to face dimensional demon gods, Godfather-level beings, and even higher-level existences.

He had to introduce more diverse and powerful technological systems.

A new dimensional World meant new possibilities and new sources of power.

He no longer hesitated, and with a thought, he brought up the system interface that only he could see.

Host: Loren.摩根

Current World: Marvel Universe

Dimensional Worlds: NieR: Automata, dragon ball

Science and Technology: General-purpose combat robots, Anti-Gravity Drone, Android Technology, Destroyer Armormanufacturing technology, Capsule Technology, Senzu Bean manufacturing technology, Time Machine manufacturing technology, Gravity Room, etc.

system points: 140

Congratulations, Host, all technologies from the dragon ball World have been learned. You can now draw for a new dimensional World, which will cost 100 points. Do you wish to draw?

"I've finally waited for this moment." Listening to the system prompt in his mind, Loren took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with anticipation and excitement.

Each time he opened a new World, it was like a big gamble, an invitation to a stronger hall of power.

"System, consume 100 points and start drawing for a new dimensional World!" He decisively issued the command.

Command confirmed! Consuming 100 system points.

Starting random draw for a new dimensional World...

As the system prompt sounded, a highly futuristic holographic "slot machine" interface, visible only to Loren, appeared out of thin air in the center of his vision.

On either side of the interface were borders shimmering with an ethereal blue light, while in the center were three rapidly scrolling windows, each flashing with countless dynamic cover images like a kaleidoscope.

These were iconic scenes from countless fantasy Worlds across all realms, either technology-based or closely related to technology.

He saw massive, rust-stained Titan mechs roaring in the smoke of battle, and mobile suits, glowing with E-particle light, tearing through the starry sky.

He saw neon lights flashing and cybernetic implants glinting coldly in cyberpunk cities, and colossal starships cruising in formation through the galaxy.

He saw soldiers in power armor, wielding chainswords, charging terrifying aliens.

And in a fleeting glimpse, there even seemed to be a glowing Ark Reactor and a red-and-gold armor... The images flashed by rapidly, dazzling and full of the unknown and temptation.

Loren's mind was involuntarily drawn in; even with his current mental strength, he couldn't fully capture or predict the rapidly changing images.

Every draw was truly random, full of infinite possibilities.

Slowly, as if a long time had passed, yet also as if it were just an instant, the "slot machine's" scrolling speed began to visibly slow down.

The first window gradually stopped, the image freezing.

It was a clear, azure sky, dotted with white clouds, exuding an aura of peace and tranquility.

"Sky? Which World?" Loren raised an eyebrow slightly.

The second window also slowed down, eventually stopping.

In the image, there was a pair of pure white, soft, seemingly holy-glowing... wings?

"Wings? This is..." Loren vaguely had a guess in his heart, but he wasn't yet sure.

The last window struggled, flickering a few more times, and finally came to a complete halt.

When the final cover became completely clear, Loren's pupils slightly contracted.

The main subject of the cover was a young girl floating in the air.

She had soft pink short hair, with a cute yellow hairpin tucked to the side.

Her skin was fair as jade, and her face was as exquisite as the most perfect doll.

Most striking were the pair of pure white wings spread out behind her!

The wings emitted a faint halo, both sacred and full of futuristic technological flair.

The girl's eyes were closed, her expression serene, as if in an eternal slumber, yet also as if she could awaken at any moment.

She wore a tight-fitting garment, similar to a school swimsuit, outlining a youthful yet perfect figure.

This image was too recognizable!

"This is..." Loren almost blurted out.

"Heaven's Lost Property?! Ikaros?!"

He never expected that what he drew this time would be this World!

Just then, the system prompt sounded.

Congratulations, Host, you have successfully drawn a new dimensional World: Heaven's Lost Property!

Starting World basic rule analysis and technology tree synchronization. Synchronization complete.

According to the rules, successfully opening a new dimensional World will grant one core scientific technology from that World.

Congratulations, Host, you have received the reward technology: Artificial Angel Technology (Queen of the Sky model and related basic technologies)!

The system prompts continued to sound, and at the same time, a vast and complex torrent of information, like a sudden enlightenment, surged into Loren's mind.

Regarding the design philosophy of the "Strategic Universal Angel," its structural principles, the incredible technological blueprint of its core power source—the "Perpetual Engine."

The operational mechanism of the variable wing system, design data for various incredibly powerful permanent homing air-to-air missiles, the Absolute Defense Field, the ultimate weapon Apollo, and more.

And the most crucial and complex "Engraving" and "Emotion" systems... Countless technological knowledge, surpassing the Black Box technology of the NieR: Automata World and touching upon a near "law" (law) level, was rapidly understood and absorbed by Loren.

These knowledge were as profound as a star sea, but their core was to create Artificial Angels with immense power, absolute loyalty, and the ability to ultimately develop true emotions.

"Artificial Angel... Queen of the Sky Ikaros..."

Loren slowly opened his eyes, countless data streams flashing in their depths, finally transforming into a profound smile.

"Truly an unexpected gain. The potential and value of this technology, in some aspects, even surpass the Artificial Humans of NieR: Automata."

The YoRHa units in NieR: Automata were weapons born for battle, powerful and efficient, but inherently lacking a certain upper limit.

However, the Artificial Angels from Heaven's Lost Property, especially models like Ikaros.

Their weapons and defense systems, to some extent, had already touched upon the rule level, possessing immense potential.

More importantly, they could still evolve.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Alice was the first to notice Loren's abnormality; he seemed to have been momentarily lost in thought.

At this moment, the Commander White and Android 18 also cast inquiring gazes.

Loren looked at them, a knowing smile appearing on his face.

"Nothing, just now... we opened another door to a new World. And, we received a very interesting gift."

"New World?" Alice curiously leaned closer, "What kind of World is it? Is it more interesting than our World?"

"Very interesting," Loren nodded, his gaze sweeping over his three companions, each with a different style but all beautiful and powerful, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

"A World... rich in Angels, and the kind with wings."

"Angels?" Android 18 tilted her head; she seemed to have some concept of the word.

"Wings?" The Commander White was more focused on technical details.

"Oh?" Alice's eyes instantly lit up, sparkling with intense interest and a hint of imperceptible vigilance.

"Are those Angels... pretty? Are they powerful?"

Loren's mind conjured Ikaros's emotionless yet absolutely beautiful face, and her World-destroying combat power, and he nodded affirmatively.

"Very beautiful, and... very powerful. Their core technology and potential might even surpass yours in some aspects."

These words subtly moved all three women.

They knew their own strength, especially after integrating Vibranium and continuous evolution.

Yet, now there was new technology that could surpass them?

"But don't worry," Loren smiled, seeing Alice's little thoughts.

"Technology is dead; its application and development are key.

With this Artificial Angel Technology, I can create our own, absolutely loyal 'Angels'.

More importantly, this technology can be integrated and complement your existing systems."

He looked at Alice: "Your nanotechnology might be able to draw inspiration from the variable wing system to gain stronger mobility and attack modes."

Looking at the Commander White: "The principle of the Absolute Defense Field can strengthen your energy shield."

Looking at Android 18: "The energy output mode of the Perpetual Engine has a similar effect to your permanent energy reactor; perhaps the two can learn from each other!"

The laboratory fell silent for a moment as the three wives processed the astonishing news.

Finally, Alice was the first to laugh, her smile seductive and carrying a hint of challenge.

"That sounds really good! Master, what are we waiting for? Let's quickly start building our own Angels!

I can't wait to see if those new Angels are more powerful, or if I'm still more favored by Master's heart~"

Loren chuckled: "No rush. First, we need to prepare suitable materials. Vibranium is a good choice."

His gaze once again turned to the system interface; at this moment, he had 40 points remaining.

And the dimensional World column now included Heaven's Lost Property; the technology tree of this Worldwas opening up to him.

A new chapter was about to begin.

And his technological power was bound to undergo a qualitative leap.

Whether it was to cope with the future crises of the Marvel Universe or to satisfy his constant desire for exploration and conquest.

This Artificial Angel Technology had come at just the right time.

Chapter 283 The Hell Dimension Invaded?

After handling the Vibranium matters in Wakanda, Lorenimmersed himself entirely in the newly acquired [Artificial Angel Technology].

Since the system rewarded him with this technology, he naturally had to put it to practical use; it was time to start building the Artificial Angel, the Queen of the Sky, Ikaros.

In the center of the laboratory, the suspended holographic design was dazzlingly complex and precise.

Countless tiny Vibranium particles, guided by an energy field, were slowly constructing the prototype of a perfect body around a core.

This was the initial framework for Ikaros, the Queen of the Sky.

Alice assisted in processing the massive data streams nearby, while 18 stood quietly by the door, like the most loyal Guardian.

Just as Loren was concentrating on building Ikaros, a magical energy suddenly appeared in his laboratory.

This startled Loren, and he immediately shifted his gaze.

It was then that a bald woman appeared out of thin air; this person was none other than the Sorcerer Ancient One of Kamar-Taj.

However, the Ancient One who appeared before him at this moment was not a physical entity, but a soul body.

Seeing the Ancient One arrive as a soul body, Lorenimmediately had a bad premonition.

Before he could even ask, the Ancient One spoke first: "Loren, I've come to say goodbye; my time is up, and it's time for me to leave this World."

Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness appeared on Loren's face; the Ancient One was the Guardian of Earth, the gatekeeper of the dimensional barrier.

Her lifespan had actually run out a long time ago; the reason she could live until now was by drawing power from the Dark Dimension.

However, the power of the Dark Dimension would backfire, eventually turning her into a puppet of the Dark Dimension, which was naturally not what the Ancient Onewanted.

She had struggled to maintain her life because she was worried that no one would guard Earth after she left.

But now, with Loren upholding this World, and Wandabecoming her disciple, who has already surpassed her Master.

Plus, she had already found her successor, Strange, so everything was arranged, and she could leave with peace of mind.

"Sorcerer, it seems you've finally let go of your burden!" Loren sighed and said.

"Yes! With you guarding this Planet, I can leave with peace of mind," the Ancient One said with a relieved smile.

"Sorcerer, please don't say that; I can't compare to you; I don't have such a strong sense of responsibility," Lorenshook his head.

"I know; I came this time hoping that you could help Strange at critical moments in the future.

Although he is my heir, he is not yet mature enough, nor strong enough, and cannot stand alone.

So I hope... you can temporarily look after Earth's dimensional boundaries.

Especially, to be wary of those entities that will become restless due to my departure," the Ancient One's soul body said with a serious tone.

"In return, if you need the Time Stone from the eye of agamotto, you can ask Strange to entrust it to you at any time; I have already instructed him, and he will obey."

Loren had not expected the Ancient One to use the Time Stone as a bargaining chip; the temptation was significant, and he pondered for a moment.

Then he nodded and said, "I promise you, as long as Strange needs help, I will act; I can guarantee that before he grows up, those dimensional demon gods will not be able to invade Earth."

Hearing Loren's words, the Ancient One showed a slight smile and said, "Your words are enough, my young friend; we shall meet no more."

With that, the Ancient One's soul body gradually blurred and finally disappeared without a trace.

Even Loren could no longer sense the Ancient One's aura; clearly, the Ancient One had completely died.

Looking at the spot where the Ancient One had disappeared, Loren stroked his chin, his gaze profound.

The Ancient One was the Guardian of Earth's dimension; now that she had suddenly passed away.

Those dimensional forces that had long coveted Earthwould certainly not miss such an opportunity.

It seemed his days ahead might not be easy.

However, he was not overly worried.

Because absolute power was enough to crush all conspiracies.

As long as he continuously improved his own strength and that of his wives, any force would be nothing more than a paper tiger.

With this mindset, he quickly refocused his attention on the design in front of him.

The manufacturing of the Artificial Angel Ikaros had entered its most critical stage of material recombination and energy infusion, allowing for little distraction.

However, just as he had thought, a few days after the Ancient One's passing,

The dimensional barrier, due to the disappearance of the powerful Guardian, the Ancient One, showed a subtle, imperceptible loosening.

Some entities lurking in the dimensional gaps, having coveted Earth for a long time, smelled this opportunity.

An extremely ominous spatial ripple, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, quietly swept across the castle.

Loren, in the laboratory, frowned slightly, looked up, his gaze seemingly penetrating layers of walls, looking towards the distant west.

"Such powerful energy fluctuations... and filled with the smell of decay and evil."

"The Ancient One just left, and the monsters are already impatiently jumping out?"

Almost simultaneously, his private communicator rang, displaying an encrypted number from Maria Hill of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Loren directly pressed to answer.

"Boss, I'm sorry to bother you!

But an extremely abnormal event has occurred in Twilight Town, Texas!

A black mist of unknown origin has enveloped the entire town, completely cutting off all internal and external communication!

All our reconnaissance personnel, including Natasha, have lost contact!

S.H.I.E.L.D. is helpless, and Nick Fury is unwilling to report the incident due to pride.

But I think you should be informed about this; I know you must have a way to solve it.

Natasha... she's still inside!"

Hill's tone was almost pleading; after all, she and Natashawere now sisters who had fought together.

Upon hearing this, Loren did not hesitate at all; after all, Natasha was also his woman now.

When his woman was in danger, he, as a man, naturally had to step forward.

"Alice, use the orbital satellite to detect the situation," Loren's voice showed no emotion.

"Yes, Master!" Alice nodded and immediately connected to the orbital satellite.

Before long, she had retrieved the images of the town.

The town named Twilight was now shrouded in a thick black mist, making it impossible to see anything from the outside.

"Master, this black mist is very Strange; it can block any form of electromagnetic signal, and I temporarily cannot detect the situation inside."

Alice said with surprise; it was the first time she had encountered something undetectable, which made her very interested.

"Then someone needs to go in and investigate personally; Wanda, 2B, Tsunade, Mei Terumi, I'm entrusting this mission to the four of you; you must bring Natasha back," Loren named four names.

Upon hearing the command, the four immediately nodded and agreed.

"Master, don't worry, we will definitely complete the mission successfully!"

"Don't be careless; this black mist, capable of blocking Alice's detection, is definitely not simple; if I'm not mistaken, this should be something from another dimension."

Loren thought of the spatial ripples he had just sensed, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

"Other dimensions? Are you saying that forces from other dimensions have invaded our Earth?"

Wanda's eyes glowed with a faint crimson light; her Chaos magic was most sensitive to and most effective against such things.

"Yes, so be careful; the guys who can cause trouble on Earth without us knowing won't be simple!" Loreninstructed.

"Understood, we will be careful!" 2B nodded calmly, and the White Contract instantly appeared in her hand.

"Monsters from another World? Just in time to stretch my muscles," Tsunade clenched her fists, making a crisp cracking sound.

"Sounds dangerous, but... it should be very interesting," Mei Terumi smiled charmingly, a hint of sharpness flashing in her eyes.

"Alright, let's go!" Loren said, directly opening a Space Gate, and the four stepped into the Space Gate, instantly disappearing from the laboratory.

In just a blink of an eye, the four arrived outside Twilight Town.

Although they were prepared, the sight before them still made the four newcomers feel a jolt of fear.

A huge, inky black dome, like an overturned bowl, enveloped the entire town; the "black mist" was not gas, but more like solidified, writhing darkness itself.

It devoured all light and sound; standing outside, one could only feel a dead, hair-raising sense of oppression.

The air was filled with an indescribable stench, a mixture of decay and a pungent, sulfur-like odor.

"Such dense negative energy... almost materialized."

Wanda felt the nauseating fluctuations in the air, and her chaotic energy automatically circulated around her body, isolating the chilling aura attempting to invade her.

"Signal completely blocked, energy readings abnormal, high-intensity psychic interference present, physical penetration attempt failed, direct breakthrough recommended," 2B's tactical goggles flashed rapidly.

"The density of this black mist is even stronger than my Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique; it's unbelievable; I have a bad feeling about this," Mei Terumi said with a frown.

"What? Are you scared?" Tsunade smiled, speaking in a teasing tone.

"Heh, I wouldn't be scared even if you were; I just think we should proceed cautiously!"

Mei Terumi raised an eyebrow, habitually bickering with Tsunade.

At the same time, she quickly formed hand seals and directly used a Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet against the black mist.

But the large Water Dragon struck the black mist like a mud ox entering the sea, with no reaction whatsoever.

"Don't waste your chakra; just go in! There's nothing to worry about."

Tsunade shrugged, not at all putting the black mist in her eyes, and walked towards it first.

Seeing this, the other three immediately followed, and the moment the four stepped into the black mist, it was as if they had crossed from the human World into hell.

Light completely vanished, replaced by a dark, eerie glow originating from the black mist itself, barely allowing them to see.

The temperature was terrifyingly low; a chilling cold that penetrated to the bone replaced the Texas heat.

The air was as thick as walking underwater, and every breath carried that strong scent of decay and malice.

Even more terrifying were the countless mad, venomous, painful whispers and roars that flooded their minds; they didn't come through their ears.

Instead, they directly acted on their minds, attempting to tear apart their sanity and awaken the deepest fears and despair within them.

"Pain...!"

"Die... everyone must die..."

"Fresh flesh... souls..."

"Embrace the darkness..."

"Get out... or... become a part of us..."

These voices layered upon each other, as if from countless souls drowned in the abyss of despair, sending shivers down their spines.

"What the hell is this noise?" Listening to these voices, Tsunade frowned, her expression suddenly solemn.

"Get out!" Just then, Wanda immediately activated her Chaos magic.

She raised her hand and waved, and a crimson energy burst forth, instantly silencing the entire World.

"Be careful; this place is very sinister; these are not creatures from our dimension; these are evil spirits, and they seem to come from hell!" Wanda warned.

"Hell? Are you referring to that hell?"

"Otherwise, which hell could it be!"

"The Hell Dimension, that's an existence no less than the Dark Dimension; it seems Master was right, this is indeed an invasion by other dimensional forces."

The four walked forward, frowning, while chatting.

The town's streets were dilapidated, cars abandoned, shop windows shattered, streetlights twisted and broken, flickering with eerie blue sparks.

However, this dead silence was soon broken.

Rustling sounds came from the shadows in all directions, and figures staggered out, approaching them.

They looked like the town's residents, but they could no longer be called people.

Because their skin had a deathly gray color, their eyes were empty, and turbid saliva or black mucus dripped from the corners of their mouths.

Their movements were stiff and distorted, like puppets controlled by invisible strings, making meaningless "ho-ho" sounds, slowly surrounding them.

They exuded an aura originating from the same source as the evil spirits, clearly having been possessed.

At the same time, a sharp, teeth-grinding whistle came through the air.

Semitransparent, distorted evil spirits, composed of pure negative energy, condensed and emerged from the black mist.

Their forms were terrifying; some maintained painful human forms, emitting mournful wails.

Others transformed into multi-limbed, fanged, and clawed monstrous forms.

Like piranhas smelling blood, they shrieked and lunged at the four targets radiating vibrant life force.

"Seeking death!" 2B roared, and the White Contract drew a sharp arc, cutting an evil spirit charging at the forefront in two!

However, the severed evil spirit only let out an even more ear-piercing shriek, its two halves wriggled, then rapidly re-merged, and charged again!

Tsunade's tentative punch, a violent gust of wind, only blurred their figures slightly, passing right through them.

Mei Terumi's Water Bullet attack also had little effect.

"Oh no, physical attacks seem ineffective against these guys!" Tsunade said with a frown.

"It looks like trouble," Mei Terumi furrowed her delicate brows.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Just as everyone's expressions turned grim, Wanda stepped forward, her beautiful face stern.

Her Chaos magic was not ordinary physical attack; it was pure magic damage!!!

Chapter 284 Reinforcements Arrive

She raised her hands, and immense Chaos Magic energy, like a boiling scarlet ocean, surged forth!

The light instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness, illuminating the street in a blood-red hue!

The Chaos Magic, imbued with the power to alter reality and annihilate all things, was the absolute bane of these evil spirits!

"Be annihilated!" Wanda yelled coldly, pushing her hands forward.

Boom—!

A massive, scarlet energy torrent surged forward in a fan shape!

The evil spirits, clawing and lunging, let out screams of utter despair as soon as they touched the scarlet energy.

In an instant, their bodies, like ice and snow under the sun, rapidly melted and evaporated, leaving not a trace behind!

Wherever the scarlet energy passed, even the thick black mist was temporarily purified and dispersed, revealing a clear area!

Wanda's attack instantly cleared a large number of evil spirits from the front.

However, the possessed residents, though their movements paused for a moment, were not directly harmed by the Chaos Magic.

Of course, this wasn't to say that the evil spirits possessing humans weren't afraid of Wanda's Chaos Magic, but rather because Wanda deliberately controlled its range.

That's why they weren't affected; as the evil spirits were annihilated, they became even more frantic, growling and charging forward faster!

"These people..." Tsunade hesitated; her monstrous strength was hard to control, and if she punched, these humans in front of her would surely die.

She didn't know if these humans could still be saved; if they could, then killing them would be an indiscriminate slaughter.

She definitely didn't want to do such a morally bankrupt thing, and just as she hesitated, Wanda's Chaos Magicactivated again.

A scarlet energy instantly enveloped the group of zombie-like humans in front of her, then suspended them all in mid-air.

Under the power of her Chaos Magic, the zombie-like humans let out painful screams, just as Wanda was about to tear them completely apart.

Suddenly, several faint whooshing sounds of breaking air rang out, and the first few possessed residents charging forward fell to the ground.

At this moment, Wanda and Tsunade realized that micro-anesthetic needles had been precisely shot into their necks or joints.

"Don't kill them! They can still be saved!"

A familiar and anxious female voice came from the second-floor window of an abandoned shop to their side and rear.

Everyone looked up, their faces immediately showing joy, because the person who shot the anesthetic needles was precisely their target for this trip - Natasha.

Black Widow Natasha Romanoff was half-crouching there, her black tight-fitting combat suit stained with dirt and dried blood.

Her face was pale, but her eyes were still sharp and calm, and she held a special launcher in her hand, through which the anesthetic needles were fired.

"Natasha!" Wanda, with a joyful expression, waved to Natasha and called out.

Because Natasha was now a woman personally recognized by Loren, she was their sister.

So their attitude towards Natasha had undergone a drastic change; they truly regarded her as one of their own.

Seeing Wanda greet her, Natasha's face also broke into a smile, and her previously tense expression couldn't help but relax considerably.

Because she was very confident in the strength of Wandaand her group; with them coming to help now, she believed any difficulty could be solved.

"Come with me quickly, we can't stay here long, bigger guys are about to be drawn here!"

Natasha wasted no words, agilely flipping down from the window, landing silently, and beckoning them to follow.

"Follow me to the church, it's temporarily safe there!" Natasha said, leading the way quickly.

Seeing this, the four also wasted no words and immediately followed Natasha's pace.

Natasha moved swiftly through the labyrinthine streets, her movements as light as a cat's, clearly very familiar with this area.

Not long after, they arrived at the church Natasha spoke of.

It was a century-old Gothic church, appearing to be the strongest building in the town.

Unlike other places, the black mist around the church was noticeably thinner, and the maddening whispers had also diminished considerably.

And Wanda, who was extremely sensitive to magic, immediately noticed something unusual.

She subconsciously looked up, only to see a faint but resilient milky-white glow emanating from the cross on the church spire.

That glow, like a flickering candle in the wind, stubbornly carved out a small, relatively clean space.

"This is! A White magic Array!" Looking at the milky-white glow, Wanda's face showed surprise.

She hadn't expected to sense White magic in such a remote small town.

Moreover, the aura of this magic array was very familiar; it should have been created by her master, Sorcerer Ancient One.

However, this magic array clearly had a very long history; it must have been set up by Sorcerer Ancient One many years ago.

Because the magic was nearly depleted, it would probably completely shatter before long.

But even though the magic of this array was almost exhausted, it temporarily resisted the invasion of evil spirits.

Just then, Natasha pushed open the heavy, saint-engraved oak door.

Everyone quickly slipped in, 2B entering last and immediately bolting the door.

The interior of the church was quite large, lit by some emergency lights and candles; the light was dim but gave a sense of peace.

The air was mixed with disinfectant, the smell of blood, sweat, and fear.

About a hundred survivors huddled on benches and in corners, their faces filled with terror and despair.

However, when they saw Natasha return, a faint glimmer of hope immediately ignited in their eyes.

"Miss Natasha, how is it? Have you found an exit to leave the town?"

Several young women and children immediately gathered around, their faces full of anticipation.

Seeing them like this, Natasha shook her head with a heavy heart.

"The entire town seems to have fallen into another World; I've tried many methods, but I haven't found an exit to leave here..."

Hearing Natasha say this, everyone's faces immediately showed despair.

"Miss Natasha, we're running out of food. If we can't find an exit from the town, we really don't know how much longer we can last!"

"That's right! Aren't you S.H.I.E.L.D.'s super Agents? Aren't you here to save us? Why can't you do anything?"

"You're too disappointing, quickly find a way to leave here, I'm fed up with this cursed place."

The experiences of this period had already caused some of the populace to break down. Now, hearing that Natashastill had no breakthrough, they immediately became displeased and started to clamor.

"Shut up, who told you that S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents must save you? If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I'll just throw you out?"

Listening to the words of a few ungrateful civilians, Miss 2B, who was the last to enter the church, immediately frowned and yelled angrily.

She was different from Natasha; she was decisive and wouldn't tolerate these ungrateful common people.

If they provoked her, it wasn't impossible for her to draw her sword and chop them down, after all, she was a general-purpose combat android!

Startled by 2B's angry roar, a few civilians immediately flinched. They were just about to direct their anger at 2B, but saw that 2B had already drawn White Contract from her back.

Her stance suggested that if they dared to utter another word, she would directly draw her sword and kill them.

Seeing 2B's posture, those few people dared not say another word and immediately retreated obediently to the corner, not daring to utter a single piece of nonsense.

"You're really showing yourselves!" Seeing them retreat, 2B said with disdain, her eyes full of contempt.

"Miss 2B, Miss Wanda, and the other two ladies, it's so good that you've come!"

Just then, a steady yet slightly weary voice came.

The speaker was none other than Captain America Steve Rogers.

He walked over with hope on his face, his shield bearing several deep, seemingly corroded marks.

In addition, his uniform was somewhat damaged, clearly indicating he had endured many bitter battles.

Otherwise, with his strength, he would never have ended up in his current state.

Hearing this, Wanda nodded, saying nothing.

At this moment, Natasha, as if to calm everyone's emotions, immediately began to introduce them.

"Everyone, although I haven't found a way to leave here yet, we have welcomed powerful reinforcements.

These four powerful ladies in front of you are the reinforcements sent by Mr. Loren to rescue us.

They are Miss Wanda, Miss 2B, Miss Tsunade, and Miss Mei Terumi. Let's give them a warm welcome."

Hearing Natasha say that Loren had sent reinforcements, the group of civilians, who had been full of despair, immediately became excited.

Because Loren was now a globally renowned figure; everyone knew that Loren was the leader of the Church of Technology, and under him were many extremely powerful beings.

Even when aliens invaded Earth, Loren easily resolved the situation, so now some ordinary people highly recognized Loren, far more than any other faction.

Thus, when they heard that Loren had sent rescue, they were naturally very excited.

"We're saved, we're saved! With Mr. Loren's help, we will surely be safely rescued!"

"That's right! Mr. Loren's subordinates are all top experts; they will definitely have no problem dealing with those damned evil spirits."

Unlike their hysterical cursing of Natasha earlier, at this moment, the eyes of the group of civilians were filled with hope, and they seemed to have absolute confidence in Wanda and the others.

Hearing this, Wanda and the others were secretly pleased, as receiving affirmation from outsiders was still a very good feeling.

At this moment, Wanda shifted her gaze to Natasha and asked, "Presumably, you understand this place to some extent. Please tell us all about it!"

"Hey, guys, good to see you. The view up here is pretty good, if you ignore the delicious feast partying outside."

Just then, Hawkeye slowly descended from the second floor of the church, his compound bow still taut in his hand.

"Let me explain!"

"Barton has been on alert against these evil spirits breaking in; he knows those guys better than we do."

As if worried Wanda wouldn't believe her, Natasha spoke up.

"Hmm, you go ahead and explain!" Wanda nodded, not objecting.

"The situation here is extremely bad. Those evil spirits are almost immune to any form of physical attack.

And they can possess living people, turning them into zombie-like beings, against which we are helpless.

Currently, only this church can shelter us; those evil spirits seem unwilling to approach, but I feel it won't last much longer."

"Not unwilling, but afraid."

Hearing Hawkeye's words, an old man with white hair, wearing a tattered priest's robe, tremblingly corrected him from the corner. He was the local priest.

"It's faith... it's the Holy power protecting this place... but... but the light is getting weaker... they... they are waiting..."

As if to confirm his words, more intense thumping and grating sounds suddenly came from the church doors and windows.

The roars gathering outside also grew louder, and the faint light from the cross seemed to flicker accordingly.

Natasha looked at Wanda, her eyes full of hope.

"Wanda, your Chaos Magic can easily destroy those evil spirits!"

Wanda nodded: "My magic can purify them, but there are too many possessed people, and..."

She sensed for a moment, "Their souls are severely corroded by darkness; forcibly separating them might cause permanent damage or even death."

"Is there any other way?" Natasha's face darkened.

"We've tried many methods, but we've found almost no safe way to awaken them. We can only try to avoid or subdue them."

A brief silence fell over the church, the oppressive atmosphere almost suffocating.

"The source," 2B suddenly spoke, her voice calm.

"The continuous generation of evil spirits must have an energy source or a dimensional rift. Clearing the source is the most efficient solution."

"Theoretically, yes," Captain America agreed.

"But we simply cannot investigate further. The deeper you go into the old mining area southeast of the town, the thicker the fog becomes, and the more powerful and terrifying the evil spirits appear. We can't even get close."

Wanda closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed southeast: "The dark energy there is the densest, and the most... evil, sickening."

"The old mine pit..." the old priest murmured fearfully.

"Legend says it's a rift to hell... a cursed place..."

"We need to go there and close it," Wanda said with determination.

"But the encirclement outside..." Natasha looked worriedly at the constantly shaking doors and windows.

"We'll cover you," Captain America picked up his shield without hesitation. "This place is handled by us and..." He looked at Tsunade and Mei Terumi.

"Mei Terumi and I will stay to assist with defense," Tsunade immediately interjected. "My medical ninjutsu can handle the wounded, and her jutsu is suitable for area defense and control."

"Exactly, turn the entrance into a lava or acid mist swamp, and see if those abominations still dare to approach," Mei Terumi smiled charmingly, her eyes, however, cold.

"Miss Wanda and I will go to the source," 2B's White Contract glowed with energy.

After the plan was quickly decided, Wanda took a deep breath.

Even denser scarlet energy, like raging flames, burned around her, and the powerful magical fluctuations even made the candles inside the church flicker.

"Are you ready?" She looked at 2B.

"Mission start," 2B's tactical goggles locked onto the main door.

The church's main door was violently pulled open a crack.

Outside, there were countless twisted, writhing figures, screaming, wildly dancing evil spirits, and darkness and madness that had almost solidified into substance.

Wanda and 2B stepped fearlessly into that abyss of despair, marching towards the heart of darkness.

Chapter 285 The Three Demons of Hell

The heavy wooden doors of the church closed behind them, temporarily sealing off the survivors' faint sense of security and hope.

Outside, the roars and impacts grew even more frenzied and intense.

It was as if all the malice of the entire town had converged here, eager to tear apart these two vibrant lives who dared to tread in the darkness.

Wanda's body was surrounded by scarlet Chaos Energy, burning like flames, making her appear like a goddess of vengeance descending in the dark night.

2B followed closely, the energy halo on virtuous treatyflowing, her cold eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, analyzing energy flow and potential threats.

"Stay close to me," Wanda's voice was calm and full of power, "These low-level evil spirits are nothing to fear, but the closer we get to the source, the more interesting things might become."

She gently raised her hands, and without even needing complex incantations, merely by thought, a vast Chaos Magic pressed forward like an invisible giant palm!

Sizzle—!

Like a red-hot branding iron plunged into ice, the hundreds of ferocious evil spirits blocking the way couldn't even let out a complete scream.

They shrieked and vaporized the moment they touched the scarlet energy, and even the thick black mist was forcibly cleared, creating a clean passage.

The possessed residents were pushed away by a gentle but irresistible force, held in place, temporarily unable to move.

The two shot towards the southeast of the town like arrows.

Wanda led the way, her Chaos Magic sweeping everything before her, any evil spirit daring to block her path evaporated like dewdrops in the sun.

2B was responsible for the flanks and rear; her speed and precision were extreme. virtuous treaty occasionally swung out, not to kill spirits.

Instead, she precisely severed the hamstrings of the possessed or stunned them with her hand-mounted shockwave emitter, efficiently clearing physical obstacles.

Her Pod auxiliary unit continuously emitted interference waves, which, though unable to eliminate the evil spirits, could effectively disrupt their cohesion and attack rhythm.

The deeper they went, the more bizarre and dilapidated the environment became.

The streets seemed to have been corroded by some strong acid; the ground became sticky, and from time to time, black, bubbling, viscous liquid seeped out of cracks.

The surrounding buildings were twisted and deformed, like melted candles, and ominous red light flickered in the windows, emitting even more frantic and distorted babbling.

There even appeared strange, thorny plants made of pure dark energy, writhing and attempting to entangle and devour everything that passed by.

The oppressive feeling in the air almost solidified; the sulfurous stench originating from the Hell Dimension was suffocatingly thick.

Ordinary people would likely have already suffered mental breakdowns or been assimilated in such an environment.

"Energy concentration is rapidly increasing; there's a large-scale spatial distortion phenomenon ahead," 2B reported, her sensors already blaring alarms.

Wanda nodded, her perception even clearer: "It's just ahead, a forcibly torn spatial rift."

Passing through the last street, which looked as if it had been trampled by a giant beast, the sight before them made even the well-traveled duo hold their breath slightly.

It was a huge crater, as if formed by a meteor impact.

But the edges were extremely irregular, flickering with shattered, ominous dark red energy arcs.

Deep within the crater, it was not an underground rock layer, but a slowly rotating, massive dark red vortex over fifty meters in diameter!

The center of the vortex was a chilling blackness, as if connected to the coldest void in the Universe.

Countless twisted, suffering soul fragments were sucked into it like moths to a flame, and occasionally, even larger and more terrifying shadows tried to squeeze out!

Vast, pure Hell Energy surged out of the vortex like a tangible black tide, transforming into the black mist and countless evil spirits that enveloped the town!

This was the source of all disaster—an unstable rift connecting Earth to the Hell Dimension!

"This is it," Wanda's expression was solemn, and her hands began to gather powerful Chaos Energy, preparing to forcibly erase this dimensional rift.

However, just as her magic was about to take form—

"Gah gah gah gah!!!"

"Hiss—!"

"Woo—!"

Three distinct but equally malicious cackles rang out simultaneously from three directions of the rift!

The ground at the edge of the crater suddenly burst open, and a colossal figure, condensed from rock, Earth, bones, and resentment, rose from the ground!

It stood nearly five meters tall, its body bloated yet full of power, its arms were giant stone hammers, and its entire being exuded the weight of the Earth and the aura of death.

On the other side, the black viscous liquid seeping from the crater frantically gathered, forming a constantly flowing, shapeless, colossal Water Giant.

Countless tormented faces of the drowned appeared on its body, emitting gurgling, suffocating sounds.

Finally, the violent energy currents around the rift swirled like a whirlwind, forming a translucent, terrifying humanoid made of hurricane and wailing souls.

It was incredibly fast, elusive, and its claws were made of concentrated wind pressure.

Three powerful demonic auras, representing the elements of Earth, Water, and Wind, instantly locked onto Wandaand 2B.

Their power was far beyond that of the wandering evil spirits, having already reached the level of a High Demon!

"Two more little bugs who don't know their place!" The Earth Demon's voice rumbled like grinding boulders, "How dare you disturb My Lord Mephisto's plan!"

"Hehehe... such pure soul energy, and... the smell of machinery? What a strange combination." The Water Demon's body writhed and shifted, its voice like the gurgling of a drowning person, full of greed.

"Kill them quickly; their souls should be delicious, especially the woman with the red energy!"

The Wind Demon let out a sharp shriek, and with a flash, it appeared above and to the side of Wanda, its claws, accompanied by a space-tearing shriek, savagely striking down!

Its speed was far beyond the speed of sound!

"Watch out!" 2B instantly activated, intercepting the Wind Demon's path, virtuous treaty erupted with a strong energy halo, and a swift, unparalleled thrust went straight for the Wind Demon's core!

Clang!

Screech—!

Claws and katana collided, emitting an ear-piercing metallic grinding sound and the strange noise of energy annihilation!

2B was shaken back half a step by the immense impact, and the ground cracked.

But the Wind Demon's attack was successfully halted. It let out a shriek of surprise and uncertainty, seemingly not expecting 2B to possess such strength and ability to interfere with energy bodies.

"Hmph! You have some skill! But it's not enough!"

The Earth Demon roared, its massive stone fist descending like a meteor, carrying terrifying wind pressure, smashing towards 2B, attempting to crush this troublesome robot into scrap metal!

At the same time, the Water Demon transformed into a colossal black tidal wave, surging overwhelmingly towards Wanda.

Within the wave, countless black tentacles condensed from resentment furiously lashed out and coiled, trying to swallow and dissolve her!

"Foolish mortals! How dare you covet Hell's property!" The Water Demon shrieked.

Facing this sudden three-pronged attack, Wanda showed no panic, only cold fury.

"Noisy!"

She didn't even move her feet, merely raising her right hand and gently clenching it at the black tidal wave rushing towards her!

Buzz—!

The terrifying black tide, capable of engulfing an entire street, seemed to hit an invisible but absolutely insurmountable wall. With a resounding crash, the front of the wave instantly collapsed!

Countless resentful tentacles, like lit fuses, rapidly annihilated from end to end! The power of Chaos Magicdirectly acted on the essence of the energy, completely destroying its structure!

"What?!" The Water Demon let out a terrified shriek; it felt its power being easily "erased" by the opponent!

"Your Water is too dirty," Wanda said coldly, pointing her left hand at the Wind Demon attempting another sneak attack from the side.

The Wind Demon was circling behind Wanda at extreme speed, its claws aiming directly for her back, but suddenly felt the surrounding space become as viscous as glue!

No, it wasn't space; it was the omnipresent scarlet energy!

They seemed to have gained life and will, instantly condensing into countless red energy chains, coiling around it like a spiderweb!

"Damn it! What is this power?!" The Wind Demon was horrified to find its supersonic movement forcibly halted.

The chains contained a rule-based power it couldn't comprehend, annihilating all Xenomorph energy, making its body sizzle and its energy form continuously dissipate!

"Roar!!!" Seeing its two companions instantly thwarted, the Earth Demon, in a rage, changed the direction of its massive stone fist, abandoning 2B, and smashed towards Wanda, who seemed to be casting a spell, with the force of a collapsing mountain!

"Your opponent is me," But just then, 2B's cold voice rang in its ear.

Chapter 286: The Three Damn Demons? Die!

The silver-haired figure had, at some unknown point, leaped high into the air.

The Adamantium Miao blade, held at her waist, gathered highly compressed energy particles on its blade, emitting a dangerous, blazing white light!

Swish—!

An extremely focused, crescent-shaped energy blade, blazing like a supernova, detached from the sword.

It didn't strike the Earth Demon's stone fist; instead, with incredible speed and precision, it directly slashed towards the Earth Demon's core torso, which was composed of rock and resentment!

The Earth Demon instinctively felt a fatal threat and tried to block, but it was too late!

It had relied too heavily on its physical defense and Earthpower, underestimating the power of 2B's Miao blade, which was specifically enhanced to deal damage to energy and anomalous entities.

Splat—!!!

The blazing white energy blade cut through its hard rocky shell like a hot knife through butter, effortlessly slicing into its core, which was made of Hell energy and resentment!

"No—!!!" The Earth Demon let out an Earth-shattering wail, and its massive body suddenly stiffened.

A blinding white light erupted from the wound in its core, then rapidly spread throughout its entire body!

Boom!!!

Its gigantic rocky body exploded from the inside, turning into countless burning white-flamed gravel that scattered in all directions!

Its core spirit body, under the dual assault of Chaos Magicenergy and a high-level energy weapon, let out one last desperate cry before being completely annihilated!

The first demon, the Earth Demon, had fallen!

"Damn it! How dare you!!!" The Water Demon and Wind Demon were both shocked and enraged.

They hadn't expected this seemingly delicate woman to possess such terrifying explosive power and the ability to harm their very essence!

"Don't worry about others; it's your turn now." Wanda's eyes were cold and merciless, and the Chaos chains binding the Wind Demon suddenly tightened!

"Ah—!!!" The Wind Demon let out an extremely shrill scream; its body was crushed inch by inch by the absolutely restraining power.

Like a glass statue shattered by an invisible giant hand, it finally vanished with a "pop," turning into a wisp of green smoke.

Only a final, venomous curse echoed in the air.

The Wind Demon had fallen!

In the blink of an eye, two of the three demons were gone!

The sole remaining Water Demon was completely panicked; it felt the true fear of death!

The power possessed by this red-haired woman completely surpassed their understanding.

It was Chaos Magic, a power above the rules of Hell, almost capable of creation and destruction; it was simply not something they could resist.

"Stop! Woman! You can't kill me!" The Water Demonshrieked in terror, its body constantly twisting and changing, trying to escape.

"We are sons of Mephisto, direct subordinates of My LordWitchheart. If you kill us, you will be an enemy of the entire Hell Dimension!

My Lord Witchheart will never let you go; your souls will fall into Hell forever, enduring endless torment!"

It tried to bring out its backing, hoping to scare the other party.

However, Wanda merely curled her lips into a disdainful sneer and said, "Son of Mephisto—Witchheart?"

Her voice carried a hint of mockery; she didn't even consider him a threat.

"Sounds like a failure that should be sent back to the womb. As for the Hell Dimension?"

She raised her hands, and even more terrifying scarlet energy began to gather.

The entire mine pit trembled under her power, and even the gigantic dimensional rift seemed to become unstable!

"If it dares to provoke My Master, I don't mind obliterating its Dimension along with it!"

"No—!!!"

The Water Demon let out a desperate cry, transforming into a towering tidal wave for one last desperate attempt, rushing towards Wanda.

Wanda simply uttered two words: "Annihilate!"

There was no Earth-shattering explosion, no flashy light effects.

The incoming tidal wave, composed of endless resentment and Hell Water.

The moment it touched the invisible Chaos force field in front of Wanda, it vanished completely and silently, as if it had been utterly erased from existence.

Along with the Water Demon's core consciousness, it turned into nothingness.

The Water Demon had fallen!

The battle ended as quickly as lightning.

Three arrogant, self-proclaimed high-level demons, messengers of Hell.

Under Wanda's absolute power and 2B's precise and deadly assistance, they didn't even last five minutes before completely vanishing, leaving not even a trace of residue.

Silence temporarily returned to the mine pit, with only the dimensional rift still slowly rotating, emitting a low hum.

2B sheathed her sword and calmly reported, "Threat eliminated. No residual demon energy detected."

Wanda nodded slightly, her gaze once again fixed on the colossal rift.

Her hands began to gather Chaos Magic once more, preparing to execute the final task: closing this gateway to Hell.

However, they both knew that the matter was not over.

The moment the three demons were completely annihilated, deep within the Hell Dimension, in a palace constructed of tormented souls and black crystals.

Upon the throne, a pale-faced young man, dressed in a black vintage suit and possessing a cold, sinister, and charming aura, suddenly opened his eyes.

There were no pupils in his eyes, only an endless, swirling darkness and pain.

This person was Mephisto's son, Witchheart.

He felt the soul links of his three capable subordinates instantly break, completely disappearing!

Not even a single piece of information had been sent back!

"Who?!!!"

Witchheart let out an enraged roar; the entire palace trembled, and countless souls wailed in response!

Through the last remaining trace of energy he sensed, he caught a glimpse of the scene in the pit.

A red-haired woman engulfed in scarlet energy, and a silver-haired woman in a black dress.

And the lingering mark of another powerful entity on them, which he found incredibly repulsive yet subtly wary of.

"Damn Earth, the Ancient One is already dead, yet there are still people who dare to provoke our Hell Dimensionlike this?!" Witchheart's rage almost incinerated everything.

"You killed My servants, ruined My plans. No matter who you are, I, Witchheart, will make you pay the price!

I will personally tear your souls apart and transform your suffering into the most brilliant adornment on My throne!

The wrath of Hell will descend upon your World!"

His voice, like ten thousand years of ice, carried the most vicious curse, piercing through the dimensional barrier, pointing distantly towards Earth.

The roar echoed in the depths of Hell, announcing that a revenge from the abyss had already sown its seeds.

In the mine pit, Wanda merely raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly hearing something vaguely, but then indifferently pursed her lips.

"Annoying!!"

She focused on the magic in her hands; an even greater amount of Chaos energy began to envelop the massive rift, forcefully stitching and smoothing it over!

The threat of Hell?

She didn't take it too seriously; her current strength had already surpassed her predecessors.

Even if the Ancient One were still alive, she might not be her opponent.

Moreover, she had so many powerful sisters; if the Hell Dimension dared to offend them, they wouldn't hesitate to directly attack them!

Chapter 287 Desired Reward

As Wanda's immense chaos magic, like the most precise needle and thread, forcibly stitched up the Hell Rift, the last trace of nauseating sulfur was completely purified.

The pitch-black sky that had shrouded Twilight Town for several days was torn open as if by an invisible giant hand.

Suddenly, the long-absent sunlight poured down, dispelling all the cold and despair.

On the town streets, the previously twisted and distorted residents, possessed by evil spirits, fell limply to the ground like puppets whose strings had been cut.

The gray pallor on their bodies quickly faded, and their vacant eyes gradually regained clarity.

Though extremely weak and with hazy memories of what had happened, filled with fear and bewilderment.

At least, their souls had returned to their bodies.

The church doors were violently pushed open, and the survivors, supporting each other, walked out of the shelter with tears streaming down their faces, bathing in the sunlight, as if reborn.

Captain America and Hawkeye immediately organized rescue and order maintenance efforts.

Natasha Romanoff stood at the church entrance, the setting sun casting a warm golden edge on her red hair.

She watched Wanda and 2B walk over from a distance, their figures appearing incredibly tall in the light and shadow.

The relief of surviving a catastrophe, the shock of powerful magic, and an indescribable impulse intertwined in her heart.

She didn't immediately join Captain and Barton in the aftermath work but quickly walked up to Wanda, a gentle smile on her face.

"Wanda, 2B, it's thanks to you two coming to help this time; otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't have made it back."

"There's no need for such formalities between us; we're all sisters, and if anything happened to you, Master would be worried too."

Hearing Wanda mention Master, Loren's face immediately popped into her mind, and her heart was instantly touched.

She hadn't expected Loren to care about her so much; she had always thought Loren only treated her as a plaything.

She didn't expect that after learning she was trapped here, he would send his four powerful wives to rescue her; this was truly beyond her expectations.

But at the same time, it warmed her heart, and her love for Loren grew stronger, her body couldn't help but start to feel hot.

"Alright, now that the matter is resolved, it's time for us to go back, Natasha, do you want to come with us?"

At this moment, Miss 2B looked at the time and asked Natasha with a hint of question in her eyes.

Hearing this, Natasha immediately nodded and said, "Of course, now that everyone is safe, there's no need for me to stay. I'll go back with you."

"Going back with us, won't your companions misunderstand?" Tsunade said meaningfully to Natasha at this moment.

Hearing this, Natasha naturally knew what Tsunademeant, and her pretty face immediately flushed red as she said, "It's alright, I'll just tell them."

With that, she walked over to Hawkeye and Captain America, explained things to them, and then returned to Wanda and the others.

"Alright, everything has been explained. Barton and Rogers will stay behind to handle the aftermath. Let's go back together! I want to thank Master in person," Natashasaid.

"Natasha, how do you plan to thank him in person?" Mei Terumi stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"With my mouth, of course!" Tsunade stood aside, teasing with a laugh.

"Which mouth? The one on top or the one below?"

Mei Terumi raised an eyebrow, saying with a mischievous smile. The two of them played off each other, creating a unique dynamic.

"Only children make choices; we adults, of course, want both!"

Natasha was no shy little girl; hearing Tsunade and Mei Terumi tease her, she wasn't embarrassed and directly joined the conversation.

"Hahahaha, great minds think alike. How about we all go together then?"

Hearing Natasha say this, Tsunade and Mei Terumi burst into laughter.

They immediately formed an alliance. One has to say, indeed, birds of a feather flock together!

Among the five, if one had to say whose skin was the thinnest, it would naturally be Wanda.

At this moment, listening to their conversation, Wanda's face was already beet red, and she was about to find a hole to crawl into.

"Hey, I say, can you all rein it in a bit! We're outside, and it wouldn't be good if others overheard."

Wanda said with a flushed pretty face, looking as if she was terrified of being overheard by others.

"Wanda, everyone here is one of us; no outsiders will hear."

"Wanda is a powerful magic user; she can just cast a soundproofing magic spell!"

"Exactly, we're sisters who've been through a lot together; there's no need to hide anything. Let's speak freely!"

"That's right, we all know each other inside and out, so there's nothing to hold back.

And when it comes to being with Master, Wanda, you're the least restrained.

I remember in the last Harem Endurance Battle Royale, your score was ranked second, wasn't it?

Only second to Commander White, over a hundred thousand times, that was truly fierce!"

"Exactly, exactly, truly too strong!"

The four of them, one after another, directly shifted the topic to Wanda, which immediately made Wanda's face flush red.

She quickly cast a soundproofing magic spell, then made a shushing gesture to her four sisters.

"My dear sisters, please stop, I beg you, stop talking! I was wrong, can't I just not talk so much? You really scare me!"

As Wanda spoke, she waved her hand, and instantly, a magic door appeared before them.

Then she fled into the magic door as if escaping, disappearing in an instant.

Seeing this, the remaining four laughed heartily, then followed Wanda's footsteps into the magic door.

The magic door connected to Loren's manor, and when they reappeared, they were already in front of Loren.

At this moment, Loren was standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, his back to them, gazing at the scenery outside the manor.

Feeling the movement behind him, he smiled and turned around, only to see five beautiful women kneeling on one knee before him.

"Master, we're back!" Wanda spoke respectfully, her eyes filled with reverence for Loren.

"Hmm, you all did very well. Thanks to you, the mission was successfully completed this time.

According to the rules, each of you can ask me for a reward. What do you want?"

The several women naturally already knew Loren's rules, so they had already thought about what they wanted.

At this moment, hearing Loren say this, the five exchanged glances, then their gazes all simultaneously shifted to Natasha.

"Natasha, you speak!"

"Then I won't be polite."

Seeing everyone's gaze unanimously fall on her, Natashaalso didn't stand on ceremony, directly getting up and walking to Loren's side.

In a highly seductive tone, she said, "Master, we want to eat lollipops!"

Chapter 288 The one who should go is you!

Loren was speechless when he heard Natasha say that.

Although he had long guessed what they wanted, he still felt a little helpless when he heard it with his own ears.

His women were simply too greedy, like little gluttons!

At this thought, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Since it's the reward you want, I will grant your wish!"

As he spoke, he sat on the sofa, making himself available for the taking.

Seeing this, his wives in the room immediately came forward with smiles.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. Natasha, who was closest to Loren, knelt directly in front of Loren without a word.

She looked at Loren as if he were a precious treasure, her eyes full of intoxication.

"My dear, I really missed you so much," Natasha said, and before Loren could react, she pounced on him.

"!!!!" Loren.

The others also followed suit, instantly surrounding Lorenso tightly that not even a drop of water could get through.

In the large room, five people tightly surrounded Loren. The afterglow of the setting sun passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, lengthening the shadows of the six people.

At this moment, Natasha raised her head, her deep, affectionate eyes shimmering with moisture. At this moment, she was no longer the cold Agent, but a real woman.

She stood on her tiptoes, with a nearly desperate passion and desire.

Loren was naturally not a gentleman who would ignore a beauty throwing herself into his arms, especially Black Widow, whom he found quite interesting. He responded without hesitation.

A kiss filled with predatory and possessive desire quickly ignited the air.

Her clothes silently slipped off, revealing Natasha's body, which had been tempered by a thousand trials, its lines as perfect as a leopard's.

Skin touched skin, body temperatures merged.

There were no superfluous words; all emotions—fear, gratitude, suppressed desire—

and the worship and longing for power, all transformed into the most primal actions at this moment.

From the sofa covered with expensive fur to the spacious balcony, and then to the ridiculously large bed in the bedroom.

Natasha was more proactive and passionate than ever before, as if she wanted to completely burn herself up and merge into the other's power.

And Loren also fully demonstrated his superhuman physical strength and... stamina.

This night, for the women, was a night of shedding all disguises and burdens, purely as women, a double catharsis and surrender of both soul and body.

And just as Loren was still immersed in unspeakable joy, in the deepest part of the Hell Dimension, within a magnificent palace constructed from countless wailing souls and black crystals...

Mephisto, the Hell Lord, the cunning and treacherous King of Demons, sat on the Throne of Suffering and slowly opened his eyes, which burned with the fires of hell.

He sensed everything that had happened on Earth—the rift being forcibly closed, the three demons completely annihilated, and... his good-for-nothing son.

He hadn't expected Blackheart to secretly meddle with Earth behind his back!

"Foolish! Arrogant! An incorrigible rebel!" Mephisto's voice was deep and full of majesty, and the entire palace trembled under his wrath.

He wasn't distressed by the deaths of his subordinates or the closing of the rift, but rather by Blackheart's unauthorized actions and stupidity!

In his eyes, Earth's waters ran very deep, and even he dared not easily meddle with it.

Firstly, it was the so-called Midgard among the Nine Realms, a place under Odin's jurisdiction.

Secondly, there was the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, guarding it before. She was an existence capable of contending with Dormammu, the master of the Dark Dimension.

Even he wouldn't necessarily claim to be able to deal with the Ancient One. Although the Ancient One had now passed away,

a guy even more terrifying than the Ancient One had appeared on Earth. The key was that this guy didn't have a bottom line like the Ancient One; he was a ruthless individual.

So, in his view, Earth's waters were incredibly deep, and unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to meddle with Earth.

In his opinion, rashly making enemies was a very foolish thing.

But now, his good-for-nothing son had opened a spatial rift to Earth behind his back, which was utterly idiotic!

"Blackheart!" Mephisto's voice was like thunder, piercing through layers of space and directly booming into Blackheart's mind, who was in his side hall raging over the loss of his subordinates.

"Fa... Father..." Blackheart choked, feeling the terrifying pressure.

"Who allowed you to tamper with Earth without authorization?! Who gave you the right to provoke unknown powerful enemies?!"

Mephisto's wrath was like a tangible whip, lashing at Blackheart's soul, making him painfully curl up.

"Your stupidity and arrogance almost brought unnecessary trouble to Hell!

From now on, you are confined to your Black Crystal Palace for a hundred years!

Without my command, if you dare to take a single step out, I will drain your hellish essence!"

A severe punishment!

Confinement for a hundred years, while not long for a demon, was a great humiliation and deprived him of the opportunity to gain power and develop his forces.

Blackheart knelt on the ground, head bowed, teeth clenching, his nails digging deep into his palms, drawing black blood.

Endless humiliation and resentment grew wildly in his heart.

"Yes... Father..." He outwardly accepted the punishment respectfully, but in his downcast eyes, a crazy flame of rebellion burned.

The reason he had secretly infiltrated Earth was not for territorial expansion at all.

It was to find the legendary [Contract of San Venganza]! That contract sealed the souls of thousands of fallen saints, containing incredibly powerful and pure dark power!

As long as he obtained it, he would gain enough power to contend with, or even surpass, Mephisto!

At that time, he would be able to overthrow the rule of his cruel and ruthless father, who always loomed over him, and become the new Hell Lord!

Although the three useless Earth Demon, Water Demon, and Fire Demon were killed,

they had already transmitted their last message to him through demonic secret arts before their deaths.

They had found the hiding place of the contract!

It was deep within an ancient cemetery in Texas!

Hope was within reach!

How could he be willing to be confined for a hundred years?!

"Old man... just you wait..." Blackheart cursed viciously in his heart.

As Mephisto's pressure dissipated, Blackheart immediately disregarded the ban and used a secret art that could temporarily shield his father's perception, transforming into an invisible Shadow and quietly infiltrating the human world.

Based on the last message from the three demons, he quickly found the abandoned ancient cemetery in the former village of San Venganza.

However, just as he was about to start digging for the contract, an old man holding a shovel suddenly appeared before him.

"Evil spirit from Hell, this is not a place for you to run wild. Get out immediately!"

The old man looked coldly at Blackheart in front of him, speaking in an unquestionable tone.

Hearing the old man's words, Blackheart suddenly burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect to meet one of my father's Hell puppets left on Earth here. The one who should get out is you!"

"!!!!"

"You are Mephisto's son!" The old man.

Chapter 289 Finally Got It

"You have some vision after all. Since you know who I am, why aren't you getting lost?!"

Blackheart looked coldly at the old man with the shovel, and a terrifying aura erupted, causing the old man to feel an indescribable sense of suffocation.

However, what he didn't expect was that although the old man's eyes showed a strong sense of apprehension, he did not back away; instead, a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"Little brat, don't tell me you're Mephisto's son. Even if that great deceiver Mephisto himself were to descend, I would never yield an inch to him."

The old man with the shovel said domineeringly. Just then, a crimson flame suddenly burst from his body, enveloping his entire form in the blink of an eye.

This magical flame did not burn him to death; instead, it transformed him into a flaming skeleton.

At the same time, a steed, also wreathed in flames, leaped out of the manger and stood before the old man with the shovel.

"You damned Ghost Rider, what era is this, and you're still not dead?!"

Looking at the flaming skeleton that appeared before him, a hint of surprise flashed in Blackheart's eyes.

Because the flaming skeleton before him was none other than his father Mephisto's agent on Earth—Ghost Rider.

The flames covering the skeleton were not ordinary flames; they were Hellfire from Hell.

It was a heaven-defying substance capable of burning souls, its power no less than the Eternal Flame.

And this old man was precisely the Ghost Rider who had signed a contract with his father Mephisto to help him capture troublesome souls!

However, because of his father's deception, Ghost Riderhad long since parted ways with his father and even become an enemy.

So Ghost Rider's power had already been reclaimed by his father. The old man before him was only able to transform by relying on residual power.

Let alone residual power, even a Ghost Rider at his peak would not scare him in the slightest.

"As long as you evil spirits haven't completely left this World, how dare I die?"

The old man said coldly, and the shovel in his hand, burning with raging flames, swung towards Blackheart, aiming directly for Blackheart's head.

But facing Ghost Rider's attack, Blackheart merely raised his hand and easily caught the opponent's strike.

"A man with one foot in the grave, still trying to fight me here. Truly overestimating yourself!"

As he spoke, Blackheart waved his hand, and a powerful gust of wind erupted, directly blowing Ghost Riderbackward, sending him crashing heavily into the house behind him.

"An ant trying to stop a chariot, utterly meaningless!" Blackheart sneered, stepping into a graveyard, then stomping his foot.

Immediately, the ground shook, and the hard Earth cracked open, revealing a parchment scroll lying quietly within the fissure.

That was the goal of his journey, the Contract of San Venganza!

However, just as he raised his hand to pick up the contract, a flaming figure shot out from the house, pouncing fiercely towards him.

"That's not for you to take! Get out of here, you damned evil spirit! The contract… cannot… be defiled!"

Ghost Rider roared, his eyes filled with killing intent. Blackheart, however, merely grinned sinisterly.

At this moment, his heart was filled with a craving for power and resentment towards his father, completely unconcerned.

Although Blackheart was not at his peak state at this time, he was, after all, Mephisto's direct descendant, possessing pure Hell Lord bloodline.

And this aged Ghost Rider's power had long begun to wane. What was a mere Ghost Rider without power worth?

"An ant! Daring to block me?!"

Blackheart didn't even use much power; he merely waved his hand, and a pure dark Impact shot out with a roar!

Boom!

The Hellfire on the old Ghost Rider's body instantly scattered for the most part, and he flew backward like a broken ragdoll, crashing heavily against a tombstone, the sound of bones shattering clearly audible.

The flames on him quickly dimmed, and the light in his eyes gradually faded, finally extinguishing completely, transforming him back into an old mortal body, his life or death unknown.

Blackheart didn't even glance at him, eagerly picking up the ancient scroll emanating an alluring yet evil aura—the Contract of San Venganza!

"Hahahahaha!!! I got it! I finally got it!!!"

Blackheart laughed wildly, tearing open the scroll's seal without hesitation!

In an instant, thousands of utterly depraved and twisted souls, yet containing immense evil power, roared forth.

Like a black torrent, they surged madly into Blackheart's body!

"Ah ah ah ah ah—!!!"

An extremely painful yet incomparably joyful roar burst from Blackheart's mouth!

His body twisted and expanded violently! Countless pained faces and dark runes appeared on his pale skin, and his power skyrocketed exponentially!

The bloodline of a Hell Lord combined with the power of a thousand fallen holy souls, creating a terrifying energy reaction!

The powerful energy fluctuation instantly swept through the entire graveyard, even causing anomalies in the surrounding area's Heaven and Earth!

When he looked up again, his eyes had become pure, swirling dark vortices.

The oppressive aura emanating from him had already surpassed that of ordinary Godfather-level powerhouses, even touching the threshold of a single Universe level!

"Power… infinite power!!!"

Blackheart felt the terrifying energy surging within him, enough to tear dimensions and reshape rules, and let out a triumphant roar.

"Mephisto! And that ant on Earth! Your doomsday has arrived!"

He had gained not only power but also the malice, arrogance, and hatred for the World from those fallen souls.

These negative emotions greatly amplified his pre-existing rebellion and destructive desires.

His first target was the Earth powerhouse who had ruined his plans, killed his subordinates, and shamed him—Lauren Morgan!

At Loren's manor, it was early morning.

Natasha and the other five beauties, after a wild night, were deep in sleep, their faces showing a rare sense of satisfaction and peace.

Suddenly—

The previously clear sky abruptly darkened!

It wasn't natural dark clouds, but dense, impenetrable dark energy!

They covered the entire manor and even dozens of kilometers of the surrounding area like a heavy curtain!

The sunlight was completely cut off, as if leaping from day to deep night in an instant!

Bone-chilling cold and suffocating evil pressure descended from the sky, and the flowers, plants, and trees in the manor withered and died at a visible speed!

Countless whispers from Hell directly echoed in everyone's minds, attempting to incite fear and madness!
