Marvel's Superman-Chapter 423 - 421 | A Million Exploding Suns, Sentry Is Here.

"Stark, have S.H.I.E.L.D. send you the location where each of the hammers of fear had fallen to, along with specific information about each of the selected hosts."

Luke frowned. His SuperVision was hindered by the divine power of fear, and he couldn't see the tall figure's true face.

But from the aura released, he could sense that this was an extremely tough opponent.

The clouds of green light flame could only cover the surface and couldn't penetrate into the body.

Even Cul's powers couldn't completely control this person.

He couldn't imagine how powerful his opponent was.

Suddenly, Luke remembered another thing.

If Asgard's prophecy was so powerful that even an Allfather level couldn't break it…

Then, it was only right that it would adjust to his arrival.

Like a well-written script, with other characters mixed up.

As a screenwriter, either give the guy some sort of weakness;

Or use other methods to make the problem disappear.

Even Asgard's Those Who Sit Above in the Shadow, wouldn't be able to obliterate an Allfather wantonly.

But it didn't seem difficult to choose a more powerful host for Cul -- after all, this was closer to the comic book universe and there would never be a shortage of powerhouses.

In order to prevent this butterfly from causing a storm, technical adjustments would be made.

The mysterious Worthy was the proof.

Luke surmised.

"Sorcerer Supreme, the hammers fell in cities marked here."

Iron Man, who was killing people with his Gatling, was summoned and flew to Luke's side.

He gave Jarvis direct access to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database and pulled out the relevant information.

"London, Dubai, Brazil …"

Luke scanned the holographic map, checked the character profiles, and compared it with the Worthy on the battlefield but found nothing amiss.

All of the hosts chosen by the hammers of fear, with the exception of the Absorbing Man, who was bludgeoned to death, were correct.

"Eight Worthy, that guy isn't among them. Then, who is he?"

With a look of confusion in his eyes, Luke waved his hand, indicating that Iron Man could return to the battlefield.

"Cul forged a total of nine hammers. He mastered the ultimate hammer of fear himself and selected eight minions …"

Superman had a hunch but couldn't be sure.

Just then, the pure white light that was in the palm of his hand flickered for a moment.

As the call went through, he got a response from Vishanti.

"Something wrong?"

The emerging words, as always, were short and concise.

'It's probably the old man Agamotto. '

Luke grimaced. His impression of the Vishanti was Agamotto as a stern old man, Oshtur as a soft-spoken woman, and Hoggoth as a hands-off individual.

Superman sent his inner questions and hinted at something in passing.

He had no qualms about getting rid of the Serpent, Cul, but they would have to pay extra.

As the Sorcerer Supreme, Lieutenant General Superman was no better than those mercenaries who came and went when called upon.

The benefit of casting a spell without having to pay for it wasn't enough to pay for Luke's next appearance.

Cul, the God of Fear, plus another powerful enemy whose details were unknown…

To be honest, his chances of winning may not be very high.

After sending the message, Luke seemed to think that the hint wasn't strong enough, so he made up an emoji and threw it in.

From the Vishanti's side, there were a few minutes of silence, no direct response. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

It was only when Luke got a little impatient and was about to cut off the chat that the pure white light slightly flickered again.

"We can talk about it."

Luke raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, there was nothing quick about Vishanti's work.

In this respect, the Ancient One was much better than her bosses.

She would always make a direct offer, never beating around the bush.

It was well known that every generation of Sorcerer Supreme was a famous scoundrel, owing "loans" to the demon gods of all dimensions.

Dormammu came to collect the payment several times and was beaten up instead.

As the saying goes, fish rots from the head down.

If the Sorcerer Supreme was like this, then the Vishanti's promises had little credibility too.

What's more, they didn't give him a clear answer.

Only a fool would work and talk about the reward after the task was done.

Everyone knows they should pay a deposit first!

"So perfunctory, really no sincerity."

Luke, pretending to be unhappy, extinguished the pure white light in his palm and adopted the attitude of not bothering to talk about it anymore.

If it wasn't for Strange's sake, it should be for the sake of Kamar Taj.

Who would want to fight three Allfathers within a week?

'I'm not some superhero who's going to save the world. '

Luke softly snorted and turned his attention to the battlefield.

Both Thors were on the losing end of the Worthy's onslaught.

According to his prediction, in half an hour at most, the prophesied destiny of the Serpent and the God of Thunder would be smashed into tomato juice.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the Vishanti finally sent a message.

The reward was increased with several added promises.

"Who is the ninth Worthy?"

He was interested in Vishanti's promise to provide him with several ways to become a dimensional god.

The God of Death, Set's authority, was in his hands. If he could go one step further, he would have more power.

It was very likely that Superman would become a 'god' in the true sense of the word and open up his own 'underworld'."

Although there was 'Death', one of the five gods in the universe, all authority over death under the multiverse was vested in each other.

The possibility of hitching a ride with Thanos's crush and elevating oneself to the next level was still quite appealing.

"Robert Reynolds."

The Vishanti gave him an unfamiliar name.

The pure white light went out, and the call was over.

Luke's eyebrows slightly tightened, searching in his memory.

After a few breaths, he still couldn't find the specific person.

'I don't know … wait… '

Luke's pupils contracted as if he suddenly remembered something.

He called Iron Man back again and asked him to search S.H.I.E.L.D's database for the name.

"Robert 'Bob' Reynolds … has many duplicate names. I'll filter them out and narrow them down. He lives in New York, Queens, right? Male, okay, found him." 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

Tony Stark was very efficient. He quickly found information about the man.

"He has four criminal records, theft, robbery, and drug trafficking. A true scum of the earth, a drug addict."

"But, this guy named Reynolds should have died three months ago."

"In the northern part of Queens, there was a big explosion in a college laboratory. Many corpses were found at the scene. One of them was identified as Robert Reynolds."

"The police concluded that Reynolds had infiltrated the laboratory and was about to commit a theft when he was killed in an explosion."

Luke's face grew serious. He asked in a deep voice, "What kind of research does the laboratory do?"

"Let me see, uh, some kind of dimensional energy exploration? It looks a bit like a high-energy physics, particle collision sort of thing."

Iron Man hesitated for a moment. As a world-class genius, he found a hint in the reports he searched.

"Human enhancement programs, energy potions … Who approved this? It's dangerous and unrealistic."

When Luke heard this, he didn't bother to ask any more questions.

Because he already knew who Cul's ninth Worthy was.

'Heh, and here I was, thinking I should express my appreciation for Vishanti's generosity. '

Luke shook his head with a sarcastic smile.

'Unexpectedly, when I turned my head, they raised the difficulty from easy to hard mode.'

Boom!

At the same time, the Kingdom of Fear suddenly shook.

The solid ice cap trembled as if it was about to crumble.

The majestic golden light melted away everything, and Cul's magnificent palace was instantly crushed to dust like a weathered stone statue.

"I'm the Sentry, the invincible Sentry! The mighty Sentry!"

A frenzied voice was heard and spread far away along with the cold wind.

A golden figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
