Marvel: Killing Makes You Stronger

Chapter 38: Nice to meet you, Butcher

The setting is quite pleasant, a quiet place with few people around.

Even for an ordinary American citizen, living here would be considered above average, with a happy family life.

This house will accompany him for a long time.

After paying off the new house, Bi Xiao has no plans to do anything with the old house; he just leaves it there, too lazy to sell it.

After moving into the new home, Bi Xiao felt quite pleased. The second floor of the apartment has a balcony with a table and chairs. Wearing a white wool sweater, sweatpants, and slippers, he made himself a glass of orange juice and sat down to enjoy the view of towering trees in front and the occasional passerby on the street below, feeling content.

Here, you rarely hear the noisy honking of car horns.

All you hear are birds and other animal sounds.

Enjoying this moment of peace, time swiftly passed—a week in which Bi Xiao did nothing but continue to accumulate the knowledge he was supposed to learn.

He knows that the knowledge left by human civilization is never worthless.

Humans are the same.

In terms of accumulating knowledge, one can never have too much.

During this time, he did not buy groceries as often as before because his need for food was not as great; initially, he needed to consume a lot of nutrients due to a significant deficiency.

Besides, the stronger the physical constitution and the higher the level of life, the more food is needed just to maintain bodily and brain functions, purely from a human anatomical perspective.

This was always the case for Bi Xiao.

Several comprehensive enhancements improved his physical condition and developed his brain function, which also required a lot of nutrients to maintain.

After the birth of magic, this versatile magical force could substitute for nutrients to sustain his movement and brain energy needs.

The higher the level of life, the more this is the case.

For example, beings like Odin and the Ancient One, in their level of battles that last not just hours but days or even months.

How could they survive such lengthy battles without eating or drinking?

At that level, the stronger the life level, the less need there is for external nutrients; even if they eat, it's just for the pleasure of taste, unless the food itself contains vast amounts of energy to nourish oneself.

It's worth mentioning that the Ancient One's physical strength is not as great as Odin's at the same level, but her spiritual strength and mastery of magic are incredibly powerful.

A strong soul can influence the body, reaching the same level as a celestial being.

Not to mention these two, even Thor has begun to be able to fight for long periods without eating, also due to his lineage and divine power, but hunger will still follow, which is not contradictory.

Bi Xiao also took this path.

He would still eat as usual to satisfy his normal culinary desires, enjoying the momentary impact on his taste buds from cooked food, which is also a wonderful experience.

Humans always cherish such delightful moments.

Within a week, Bi Xiao also received a message from two vampire elders under his control, saying that a vampire with a very pure bloodline had learned of the Bible's content and, along with other vampires and members of the New York Vampire Elder Council, planned to build a summoning altar.

To prepare for summoning the Blood God.

The real reason is to reclaim their lost stronghold.

In fact, every city has its own territory, and New York, being particularly special, is the most coveted among all territories worldwide, occupied by vampire families with vast influence and heritage.

Compared to other vampire factions, these are the most noble.

However, due to Bi Xiao's arrival, they were forcibly expelled from New York, a tremendous humiliation for these vampire families.

With their interests and reputations damaged, and many high-ranking vampires slaughtered, it would be strange if they could sit still.

But they couldn't just contact other vampire families, as the weakened ones would easily be devoured by others.

Fortunately, the appearance of the Book of Death gave these vampire families new hope.

They united, vowing to fight their way back into New York and to flay and dismember Bi Xiao. As for the message from the two traitorous vampire elders, he could only silently applaud, even cheering them on from behind.

Others might see a disaster unfolding, but he saw it as a massive pool of life essence.

For this, he specifically instructed the two traitorous vampire elders to diligently complete the construction of the altar and then wait for him to reap the benefits.

Bi Xiao was in high spirits, but when he went out to throw away the trash, he encountered an unpleasant situation.

That day, as he carried a bag of trash to the communal dumpster and had just finished disposing of it, he suddenly felt a weak but intense gaze piercing toward him.

This was not like the casual glance of an ordinary person; this gaze was filled with murderous intent and malice.

He remained calm and turned his head toward the source of the gaze.

About a thousand meters down the road, an inconspicuous black sedan was parked on the side of the road, and the driver, wearing a cap and staring intently at him.

Suddenly, Bi Xiao turned his head and locked eyes with the driver, who seemed shocked that Bi Xiao could spot him from such a distance and appeared to scarcely believe it.

It was quite interesting; after being discovered, the driver did not choose to drive away immediately but instead drove towards Bi Xiao.

Bi Xiao just quietly watched.

When the driver reached where Bi Xiao was on the roadside and stopped, the man got out of the car, confidently approached Bi Xiao, and looked him over unabashedly.

"Nice to meet you, Butcher.”
