×××××××××××××××
At this moment, Daredevil, standing opposite, had two demonic horns, about ten centimeters long, growing from either side of his forehead, and his eyes gleamed with a blood-red, sinister light.
And the invisible malice emanating from him...
Even Madame Gao and the four Murakamis, who were The Five Fingers, felt an instant surge of countless evil thoughts and an extremely strong urge to fight and kill the moment they touched it.
The four were shocked and quickly used their Qi to suppress this evil thought and stabilize their minds.
But in the past few hundred years, they had never seen such a sight on black sky.
This black sky felt off... terrifyingly powerful.
Wait, could it be... that the consciousness of Shou has descended?
At this moment, Shou, standing opposite, said with a look of approval:
"Very good, My loyal servants, you have finally found a vessel that can perfectly contain My consciousness and power."
In the past, even when The Hand sacrificed their most devout believers,
Their own consciousness and inability to bear too much power, among other external factors, would hinder Shou's perfect possession.
Therefore, it had never had the chance to descend to Earth in person until now.
But this time was completely different.
Not only could Daredevil's body accommodate its power, but because his soul had been forcibly plundered by Warp, there was no self-awareness in his "resurrected" body, unexpectedly making him Shou's best host.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
The summoning ritual actually succeeded!
Madame Gao and Murakami's eyes filled with fervent zeal, and they knelt down towards Shou without hesitation, shouting in unison: "Welcome, Beast God!"
"Very good."
Shou was very pleased with their performance, then immediately ordered: "This city is too quiet; I want to hear its 'joyful' wails."
"This..."
Madame Gao's face showed a hint of difficulty, and after her eyes darted around a few times, she carefully said:
"My Lord Beast God, with The Hand's current strength, I'm afraid we cannot complete the task you've given us."
"Because in this city, there are too many super-powered heroes, such as... Spider-Woman!"
"Moreover, all the dragon bone we used for the resurrection ritual has been used up."
"Oh?!"
Shou narrowed its eyes and immediately began searching Daredevil's brain for all information about this World, as well as the entire process of the original owner of this body's death.
When it saw the special form Gwen displayed after her "ascension to demonhood," it couldn't help but frown.
"Damn it, before Me, other demons have actually descended successfully... I say, Ancient One, are you even working seriously?"
"But I originally thought this body was already perfect; I didn't expect there to be an even more perfect demon vessel (God Chosen) than him. Whose agent is she?"
Although Shou inherited all of Daredevil's memories, it could only see from the other party's perspective.
And Daredevil, being a normal person, could not see the Khorne Mark on Gwen's forehead.
Therefore, Shou naturally could not discern the true source of the other party's power at this moment.
After a slight pause, Shou slowly said:
"You are right; if I don't eliminate those troublesome superheroes first, they will inevitably hinder Me when I expand My war.
It seems I need a group of powerful warriors to help Me spread malice, not a bunch of useless cannon fodder...
You few, bring all of The Hand's ninjas here immediately. I will select elites from them and grant them corresponding power."
"As for the dragon bone... once you take over all of New York, I will take you to Kunlun to seize more dragon bone!"
Madame Gao and Murakami were overjoyed at these words and scurried back to gather their forces.
Shou watched their retreating figures and whispered greedily:
"The age of humanity is coming to an end... Soon, all cities will be destroyed, and besides those who willingly become My slaves, no other humans will be spared."
And the reason Shou was so eager to start a war
Was because its power originated from "chaotic malice."
As a Demon Lord, a rank just below a Hell Lord (such as Mephisto, Marduk), Shou's intense hatred for living beings allowed it to spread invisible malice.
This malice would subtly corrupt the minds of ordinary people, plunging them into endless combat and slaughter.
This absurdly evil Dark Energy would spread like a plague throughout the human World.
And in this process, whenever someone maliciously inflicted violence on those around them, Shou would feed on this malice, drawing a portion of power from it and growing stronger.
In other words, the fiercer the war, the wider the spread of malice, the more powerful Shou would become.
If everything went smoothly,
Then the human World would soon be transformed into a scorched Earth, like Hell, under the influence of Shou's malice.
Only those humans who willingly became his slaves would be able to survive in the end.
"Hehehe... Marduk, just you wait; before long, your Hell Dimension will be Mine... and the name Satan will also belong to Me!"
Thus, a great battle involving demons was about to unfold in Hell's Kitchen.
...
...
Osborn Tower.
7th Floor, Interspecies Genetic Project Biological Laboratory.
"The interspecies genetic experiment has finally reached this point... And all of this is thanks to you, Peter!"
Dr. Curt Connors, the head of the laboratory, excitedly patted Peter Parker's shoulder with his left hand, genuinely praising him:
"If you hadn't successfully cracked the 'Decay Rate Algorithm' formula a few days ago, I'm afraid my experimental progress would still be stagnant."
"Peter, I sincerely invite you to join my team."
Peter Parker, hearing this, scratched his head shyly, "Actually, I just did it as I went along!"
His friend Harry Osborn, standing by, put an arm around his shoulder and said proudly:
"Of course, Peter is a true genius... But Dr. Connors, don't think about monopolizing him; the head of the 'Physical Enhancement Agent Project' on the 18th floor has already reserved Peter with Me in advance."
"Haha, that's natural! Geniuses are destined to be recognized and sought after!"
Then Dr. Curt Connors came to a very advanced "Holographic Interactive Super Simulation Computer."
Pointing to the ready computer model on the screen with his left hand, he explained to Peter Parker and Harry Osborn, who were following behind him:
"What you see now is a computer model of a lizard. This creature has extremely outstanding adaptability and can regenerate after 'tail-dropping for survival'..."
As he spoke, he looked down at his missing right arm and then continued jokingly:
"Now you should be able to imagine how jealous I am of this ability, right?"
"Next, I will attempt to utilize this characteristic of lizards to transfer the corresponding gene segments to other species to see if they are effective... And this three-legged mouse is our true protagonist today."
Seeing this, Peter Parker immediately stepped forward eagerly. Compared to dealing with people, he preferred scientific research a bit more. "I'll help you."
Then the two began to input the Decay Rate Algorithm.
After the system was ready, they officially began the simulation experiments for lizard DNA, including "extraction," "separation," and "injection."
Harry Osborn, seeing the two working tirelessly, wisely exited the laboratory.
...
Through hundreds of attempts and failures,
Dr. Curt Connors and Peter Parker gradually overcame rejection phenomena and algorithms in various aspects, such as proteins, immune systems, and peptides.
Finally, they actually succeeded in helping the three-legged mouse regenerate its lost limb and maintain its vital signs in a normal state.
This also meant that the "interspecies gene experiment" using lizard genes was officially declared a success.
"The lost limb actually regenerated successfully... This is simply a miracle!"
Dr. Curt Connors looked at his missing right arm, his eyes slightly moist, then he patted Peter Parker's shoulder with a hint of gratitude.
"Thank you. I will immediately send someone to submit an application to the higher-ups to begin the next step of human... oh no, primate testing."
"Congratulations in advance, Dr. Connors."
Peter Parker looked at the Sun rising again outside the window, stretched tiredly, "But I have class this afternoon, so I must go home and catch up on sleep now."
He then left the laboratory, but unexpectedly, he met a radiant Harry Osborn at the building's entrance.
The latter had spent a night in deep conversation with a supermodel, and he was still quite excited.
"Hey, Peter, you didn't stay in Dr. Connors's lab all night, did you?"
Peter Parker nodded honestly, "I didn't realize time passed so quickly, but luckily... the experiment was a success."
"Peter, I suddenly realized you have a special talent for scientific research."
Harry Osborn stepped forward, affectionately put an arm around the other's shoulder, his eyes gleaming with the fervent gaze of an entrepreneur who had discovered a high-quality worker... no, a high-quality employee, and said confidently:
"Good brother, promise Me, you must come work for My company after you graduate. The future of Osborn Group will depend entirely on you!"
The simple-minded Peter Parker not only failed to realize that the other party was mentally manipulating him but also blushed profusely from the praise and quickly changed the subject:
"Um... Harry, how's the monster search going?"
"No leads yet."
Harry Osborn asked curiously, "But why are you suddenly interested in those freaks?"
"It's not Me; I'm helping a friend!"
"Girlfriend, right?"
Harry Osborn gently bumped Peter Parker's shoulder with his own, leaned in with a mischievous grin, and said, "So, did you make it to first base?"
The latter immediately pulled away in a panic, waving both hands back and forth in front of him, creating streaks of afterimages, and stammered an explanation:
"No, no, you've misunderstood; Gwen and I are just ordinary friends..."
Then, before leaving, he added in a voice so low he couldn't even hear himself, "I'm not good enough for her!"
Harry Osborn watched his good friend's flustered retreating figure and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Ah, this poor little virgin!
When will he finally "come out"?
Eh?
But why does the name Gwen sound a bit familiar?
...
...
Hyperspace Group, B18.
Thunder Warriors Project R&D Center.
"Miss Selena, these two must be the 'Immortal + Plague-Free' and the Werewolf Progenitor that Boss mentioned before, right?"
Samuel Sterns looked at Alexander Corvinus, who was personally escorted by Selena, and William, the deeply sedated Werewolf Progenitor, his face revealing a fervent excitement like someone who had discovered a new toy.
Karl had already told him all the information about the two of them.
And Samuel Sterns was particularly interested in Alexander Corvinus, who possessed the Longevity Gene and the Plague-Free Gene.
He immediately waved his hand backward.
Two Thunder Warriors responsible for guarding the laboratory's safety immediately walked over, ready to complete the handover.
Selena maintained her usual cold arrogance, nodding her chin slightly, "Dr. Stern, Boss instructed Me to hand these two test subjects directly to you."
She then handed Alexander Corvinus and William over to the Thunder Warriors who came to receive them.
Alexander Corvinus, his face slightly pale, felt his heart turn to ashes at the sight.
He could already roughly guess what his and his son's fate would be.
"Wait a minute."
However, during the escort, Alexander Corvinus suddenly saw his eldest son, Marcus, in an isolation chamber opposite, covered in blood-drawing tubes.
He was overcome with grief and quickly turned to Selena behind him, shouting loudly:
"Miss Selena, I am willing to cooperate with your experiments, but please treat my two children kindly. I am the one who made the mistake; I did not teach them well. They are innocent..."
Selena, however, ignored him, not even bothering to spare this selfish old man a glance.
He's here, and he still wants to negotiate terms?
You... are you even worthy?
And treat your two children kindly? Did you even ask them if they treated those innocent humans kindly?
