MTS: Marvel and Beyond

Chapter 92: Killing Stryker

Facing the gentle smile of Alex, Stryker felt as though all the blood in his body had frozen. The world around him suddenly seemed to lose its color, everything appearing as unreal as a dream.

How was it possible that this mutant could travel through parallel universes? Mr. Fantastic and the others had made it clear that it was impossible for him to cross parallel universes, let alone find them in the vast expanse of alternate realities.

What was happening now?!

"This must be a dream. Yes, this is definitely a dream!"

The overwhelming pressure from White Hair and the fear of imminent death twisted and intertwined in Stryker's mind, eventually shattering his sanity, driving him into madness. Seeing this, Alex wasn't pleased.

"Stryker, don't worry, I'll heal you!"

He was so kind-hearted that he couldn't bear to see Stryker's will crumble.

That would be too boring, wouldn't it?

So, Alex slowly approached Stryker, preparing to use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal him!

At level 4, the Reverse Cursed Technique could heal any illness, returning its target to their original state. It could even work on non-living objects, so healing Stryker's broken mind was no trouble at all.

As Alex moved toward Stryker, two of Stryker's henchmen quietly started to back away.

Seeing Alex turn his gaze towards them, one of the henchmen, Leader, twisted his already grotesque face into an even more disgusting grin and nervously said to Alex, "Alex, could you spare me? I could be of use to you!"

"Yes, I can serve you too," Ivan Vanko quickly added.

Alex thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Indeed, you're both quite clever. Having you under my command would be quite beneficial..."

Leader and Ivan lit up with hope.

But suddenly, a terrifying repulsive force enveloped Leader. Green blood splattered everywhere, covering Ivan Vanko and blinding his sight.

Trembling, Ivan wiped the blood from his face, looking at the lifeless, mutilated body of Leader, only to hear the low whisper of the mutant:

"Too bad, you're too ugly for my liking..."

Ivan Vanko quickly smoothed his hair and wiped off the sticky green blood on his face, forcing a nervous smile at Alex.

"Alex, I'm not ugly! I'm not ugly!"

Alex gave him a quick once-over, and as Vanko's heart raced wildly, Alex said slowly:

"A little ugly..."

Ivan Vanko tensed up.

"But still somewhat human!"

Finally, Ivan relaxed, wagging his metaphorical tail like a dog in front of Alex.

"Yes, yes! I will serve you with my life..."

But before he could finish his sentence, the twisted force field swallowed him, blending the red and green blood on the ground into an indistinguishable mess!

The mutant's voice echoed once more:

"Too bad, you were the first to lift your left foot. That's a big no-no for me, so you had to die."

Ignoring the mixture of red and green blood, Alex approached Stryker and used the Reverse Cursed Technique to restore his sanity. Then, with a bright smile on his face, Alex said to the now-conscious Stryker:

"We have plenty of time. Let's take it slow."

The screams and sound of bones breaking continued for hours before finally stopping.

Opening a portal and returning to his original universe, Alex felt refreshed and invigorated.

It was as if the thorn that had been stuck in his throat since crossing into this world had finally been pulled out!

...

Returning to his seaside villa, Alex did nothing but lie on his bed and fall into a deep sleep.

At this point, all of his enemies on Earth had been eliminated. No one could threaten him anymore.

Alex's restless spirit had finally calmed down for the first time in a long while.

For the next few days, aside from training his skills, Alex did nothing else.

He finally allowed himself to rest for a while.

During this time, Alex focused on training his skills in vector manipulation and the Wings of the Unknown.

As he trained, he discovered that the White Wing and the Black Wing were somehow connected. While training the White Wing, he noticed that his experience in the Black Wing increased as well.

After some thought, Alex understood why.

In the original lore, the White Wing was a perfected version of the Black Wing. The two were always connected, with one being the superior version of the other. Therefore, training the White Wing would naturally improve the Black Wing as well.

After ten days, the three skills had significantly improved:

[Vector Manipulation +1 experience point]

[Congratulations! Your skill "Vector Manipulation" has leveled up!]

[Vector Manipulation Lv3 (1/3000): You can control the direction of any understood vector, creating imaginary vector axes, including forces, velocities, accelerations, displacements, impulses, momenta, electric field intensities, magnetic flux densities, etc. You can also analyze the nature of observed phenomena!]

[Black Wing of the Unknown +1 experience point]

[Congratulations! Your skill "Black Wing of the Unknown" has leveled up!]

[Black Wing of the Unknown Lv2 (1/300): Manipulate phase forces in space to form black wings, greatly enhancing the user's strength!]

[White Wing of the Unknown +1 experience point]

[Congratulations! Your skill "White Wing of the Unknown" has leveled up!]

[White Wing of the Unknown Lv2 (1/300): Manipulate phase forces in space to form white wings, greatly enhancing the user's strength!]

After reaching level 5 in energy absorption, Alex's precision in energy control had improved drastically, which also sped up the accumulation of skill experience.

During these ten days, Alex focused mainly on training vector manipulation. Now at level 3, he could reflect any understood vector and analyze observed objects. Once he fully understood the nature of something, he could reflect its forces!

Unlike others, Alex not only had a brain capable of calculations rivaling an insane computer, but he also possessed the Six Eyes.

The Six Eyes allowed Alex to clearly see the energy pathways and help him analyze the essence of those energies. Combined with his computational brain, Alex could analyze energy much faster than others could!

Though his template fusion was currently only at 36%, giving him access to only 36% of the computational power, Alex knew that as his fusion increased, he would eventually surpass the limits.

Controlling three Infinity Stones orbiting around him, Alex absorbed large amounts of energy, increasing his template fusion rate.

He drew a circle and found himself at a seaside volcano.

As he stood atop the volcano, Alex used the Six Eyes to peer deep into the magma below.

In just a few days, the Celestials would arrive on Earth, and he needed to prepare a gift for them.

And the Celestial about to be born on Earth would be the perfect vessels for this gift.
