Ultimate Marvel System

Chapter 122: Systems

Chapter 122: Systems

With Rocket and Groot off somewhere and Gamora being taken somewhere by Wonder Woman, Benjamin was left alone with Lucas.

For a while, the two had an awkward silence between them.

It was Benjamin who broke the silence after some time.

“So…you’re not going to end up fighting me, are you?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Well, you know how it is. Two system holders clashing…isn’t that a common plot?”

Lucas chuckled.

“Nah, I can’t be bothered with that. I’m already retired from things like that. As long as you don’t do anything that harms me or my loved ones, I don’t really care what you do.”

Benjamin sighed in relief.

“Oh good. I really don’t want to resort to destroying the whole universe as collateral damage.”

“...Please don’t.”

If this Lucas had shown a hint of hostility, Benjamin swore he would unleash both Deaths to wreck havok, use the Ultimate Nullifier to erase the source of the universe, maybe even detonate a few Infinity Stones, and then quickly run away to the furthest universe away from this place.

However, Benjamin feels that wouldn’t be enough to kill this Lucas. Rather, it would just anger him even more which isn’t an ideal situation.

Seemingly reading his mind, the System quickly persuaded him.

[Host, please don’t even think of doing such dangerous things…I, the System, still want to live.]

Oh? Do you also die if I die? Rather, you can die?

[It’s a figure of speech. But yes, the System will cease to exist if the Host’s life expires.]

Hearing that, Benjamin was a bit curious.

He suddenly remembered that Lucas also has a System so he asked him.

“By the way, you have a system too, right? Have you gotten any idea where it came from?”

Lucas chuckled at the question.

“Haha, why? Are you curious where your system came from?”

“Yeah but when I ask it, it just says I don’t have the permission to know.”

Lucas sighed and shook his head.

“It’s useless to ask me. The Systems have different origins so I also don’t know where yours came from and who created it.”

“Any idea why the Systems exist then?”

“It’s also for different reasons. Don’t worry about it so much. You’ll know the answers in due time. Knowing it now doesn’t really do you any good.”

“Ughh…fine.”

Benjamin groaned.

He then asked.

“So how does yours work? Do you also collect points from missions then buy stuff from the system shop?”

When Lucas heard that, his eyes widened.

“You have a system shop!?”

“Uhh, you don’t?”

Benjamin was a bit surprised and curious about what Lucas’ system was about.

Lucas shook his head.

“No. Mine is quite simple and revolves around relationships. Basically, I can slot a character I’ve met into my synchronization slots and the more I interact with them, the higher the percentage of synchronization, the more I can copy their abilities.”

Benjamin’s eyes widened at that.

“So you just…befriend superheroes and…you gain their powers? Just like that?”

“Just like that. Also, it instantly shoots to 100% when I kill that person or…well, sleep with that person.”

“...”

Benjamin was speechless.

He then remembered what Wonder Woman said earlier.

Most of the women here already fell in love with Lucas…just how OP did this guy get after sleeping with all those super women!?

Benjamin cursed.

“Fuck. Here I thought my System was the Ultimate Stud System. Yours is basically a Fuckboy System!”

“It’s the DC System!”

“Does the D stand for Dick and C for Cock?”

Ultimate Marvel System: [...]

DC System: [...]

Lucas: …

While Benjamin and Lucas talked about their systems, Gamora was led by Wonder Woman back to Earth and onto an island called Themyscira.

Themyscira is known to be the island of the Amazons. An island of warrior women.

Wonder Woman, AKA Diana Prince, chuckled as she showed the island to Gamora.

“See here? Except for the young ones, basically every women here has slept with our Lucas. The young ones are our daughters.”

“...Is Lucas some kind of sex god?”

Gamora was speechless.

She knew that Benjamin was quite a womanizer since she was suddenly dragged into his women’s group chat but Benjamin wasn’t even close to this Lucas.

Diana laughed at that.

“Haha! I suppose he is! Come, you’re a warrior too, aren’t you? Want to see the arena?”

“Are you asking for a fight?”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s go.”

Gamora nodded.

Seeing all these warrior women, Gamora was interested in seeing how the people of this universe fight.

At the same time, somewhere on Earth.

In a dark murky swamp.

Rocket and Groot were led by the Flash and Green Lantern here to meet someone.

“So uhh, where’s this Swamp…Thing guy?”

“He should be somewhere around here…ah, there he is.”

As if on cue, countless vines suddenly rose up in front of them, forming a humanoid figure.

Flash waved at it.

“Yo Swamp! We got some visitors from another universe! One of them is a talking tree!”

Swamp Thing ignored the loud guy as he focused his attention on Groot curiously.

“Amazing…so much life…although you’re a tree, I cannot sense you in the Green…another universe…is it?”

“I am Groot.”

Groot introduced himself.

This time, his ‘I am Groot’ really did mean ‘I am Groot.’

Swamp Thing nodded.

“I am called the Swamp Thing. Protector of the Green.”

Rocket laughed.

“Protector of the Green? Haha! Is it because you’re green!?”

Fearing the Swamp Thing may be angered, Green Lantern quickly explained.

“The Green is an elemental force which connects all forms of plant life in our Earth. It’s a sort of magical realm.”

“You actually have that kind of thing here? Does that mean if I piss on a tree somewhere, he’ll feel it too?”

“Uhh…”

Flash and Green Lantern were speechless.

Ignoring Rocket, Groot continued to converse with Swamp Thing.

“I am Groot.”

“No, we do not have any plant life forms capable of speech in this world. Although I do know someone who can speak to plants.”

“I am Groot?”

“I do not mind taking you to her. Should I take you there now?”

“I am Groot.”

“As you are a plant life form, it shouldn’t be a problem to take you with me into the Green and travel through there.”

“I am Groot!”

“Let’s go then.”

And then, without caring about Rocket and the others, Swamp Thing held Groot’s hand as they both sunk into the Earth and disappeared.

Rocket was shocked and quickly called out.

“Groot!? Where are you going!?”

“I am Groot!”

“Don’t give me that ‘I’ll be back before dinner’ bullshit! Hey!”

Rocket complained but Groot and Swamp Thing already disappeared.

He turned to look at Flash and Green Lantern.

“Uhh, they should be looking for Ivy. She’s the only one I know that can talk to plants. Oh, I think her kids can do it too to some extent.”

“Ivy? Is that some plant chick or something?”

“I…guess?”

“...You wouldn’t happen to have any raccoon lady here, would you?”

“No?”

“Tsk!”

“...”
