Corvinus, Who Fancies Himself God

The train whistled, carrying Natasha Romanov and Phil Coulson towards the Immortal Castle.

Inside the Immortal Castle.

Lake and Emilia listened to a intercepted audio recording.

It was sent by List just now.

The audio contained the conversation between Natasha, Coulson, and that dark-skinned egghead.

After listening.

Emilia asked, "Should we have Selena kill those two?"

Lake turned to Emilia, "Why?"

Emilia frowned and looked at Lake.

Lake chuckled, "They are just two tools, at most two intelligent tools. What is the essence of a tool?"

The essence of a tool is to be used by others.

Even though Natasha and Coulson stumbled upon the truth, so what?

The overall situation was already decided.

Would the five overlords of the Security Council, because of the wild guesses of their tools, risk exposing the truth of the world and intervene in a war that had nothing to do with them?

Moreover, the conversation was complete.

Nick Fury’s warning to Coulson and Natasha was also included, not edited or taken out of context by Hydra. The reason might be Hydra’s usual respect for Lake, or perhaps Hydra had its own considerations.

For example, Hydra didn’t need Nick Fury to be targeted again. Hydra might think Nick Fury could still be salvaged. After all, Alexander Pierce was about to retire, and they needed someone they knew well to take over as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Lake didn’t care about this.

Along with the audio, List had also sent a message.

This audio wasn’t just intercepted by them; a third party had also intercepted it. The traced target was transmitted via a S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite in Europe to a cargo ship on the high seas.

The Alexander.

The origin of all VAM vampires, the grandfather of vampires and werewolves, Alexander Corvinus, who possessed immortality.

Compared to S.H.I.E.L.D., this old man was the uncontrollable variable.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. was a secret organization, it was still a known secret organization. Alexander Corvinus was different. Lake could roughly estimate how many trump cards S.H.I.E.L.D. had or could use, but when it came to Alexander Corvinus, Lake felt a blind man’s vague sense of touching an elephant.

The Security Council might ignore these baseless speculations, but what about Alexander Corvinus?

This old man said he wouldn’t interfere, but his one instance of being proven wrong before his death only showed that he still favored his children.

Viktor was not the old man’s descendant, but Marcus was.

At this moment.

Emilia reminded him, "New York, should we…"

Lake raised an eyebrow and looked at Emilia.

Emilia knew that Lake was Lake, which wasn’t strange; it was reasonable. After all, Emilia had given birth to offspring for Lake, so she naturally had some special treatment.

However, Little Cotton-Padded Jacket and that rebellious son didn’t know about this.

Emilia’s concern was not unfounded.

Let’s put it this way.

If the Lake in New York died, then Lake would probably be no different from Old Master Huang in a classic movie; his main body would become a clone.

The clone currently in New York did not possess the immortal body that the main body had.

However…

Lake sneered, "I never liked being passive!"

Emilia: "…"

This might sound strange.

But Lake had always been like this.

Attack was the best defense.

Alexander Corvinus might think he was well hidden, as hidden as Hydra, but Lake knew Hydra, and naturally, he would know him too.

However, Lake’s understanding of Alexander Corvinus was only based on movies. Reality was different from movies. But since Nick Fury and Coulson’s conversation had been transmitted there, to prevent Alexander Corvinus’s methods from turning his main body into a substitute, necessary protective measures were still needed.

Lake directly transmitted this information to the New York clone. The New York clone immediately notified various entry and exit points in New York to enhance defenses under the guise of homeland security. In case of danger, Lake would directly take over the clone.

Above the Alvoran Sea!

On the Alexander.

At this moment, the white-haired Alexander Corvinus looked expressionlessly at the conversation between Nick Fury, Coulson, and Natasha in the notebook delivered to him.

Compared to the audio version received by Lake, Alexander Corvinus’s version was a video.

The more he listened.

Alexander Corvinus felt the rage that had been dormant for years surge within him once more.

His greatest pride in life wasn’t his immortality, but rather, his god-like creation of two distinct races separate from humanity.

Vampires and Werewolves.

This was what Alexander Corvinus was most proud of. Alexander had even emulated God, retiring to the shadows after the emergence of vampires and werewolves.

God observed humanity from the shadows.

Alexander Corvinus also observed the two great races he had created from the shadows.

Watching how the werewolves grew.

Watching how humans warred with werewolves.

Watching how vampires grew.

Watching vampires…

William was eventually imprisoned in a specially constructed prison.

Alexander Corvinus did not intervene upon seeing this. To Alexander Corvinus, who had begun to see himself as God, Marcus’s vampires were angels, and William’s werewolves were fallen angels.

William rebelled, and Marcus eventually led his kin to imprison William. Wasn’t this akin to Lucifer’s eventual banishment to hell?

Therefore, Alexander did not interfere. Had Marcus chosen to kill William at that time, Alexander would undoubtedly have acted.

In the years that followed.

The vampires enslaved the werewolves. Alexander, as if observing, watched silently, while simultaneously accumulating the strength to secretly clean up after both the vampire and werewolf races.

Until the end of World War II, a mysterious department rose to prominence, and a woman found him. Afterward, his earliest converted immortal subordinate transformed into the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s European branch. Over these decades, the head of European S.H.I.E.L.D. had changed, but each change was merely a matter of replacing one subordinate with another.

And then came the present?

When Alexander Corvinus observed that the descendant of his most ordinary third son had been abducted by William’s descendant, Lucian, Alexander was indifferent.

It wasn’t until Alexander suddenly discovered that Lucian intended to use the blood of his third son’s descendant to enhance himself. Upon learning this, Alexander Corvinus could no longer sit idly by.

He didn’t mind the vampires and werewolves fighting each other.

Because to Alexander Corvinus, this was normal and even held a certain charm. But if the werewolves were to suddenly uncover his secret, leading to a surge in their strength, it would be a complete loss of control.

And so.

Alexander Corvinus immediately dispatched his strike team, coordinating with the European S.H.I.E.L.D. he secretly controlled, to launch a surprise attack on Lucian.

During those days, Alexander Corvinus was fully occupied with reviving Michael Corvin. As soon as Michael Corvin gained complete control over the rampaging werewolf gene within him and emerged, Alexander Corvinus received earth-shattering news from the continent.

His vampire son Marcus and another vampire, Viktor, had been killed. Moreover, the enraged Lucian was leading his main forces in a fierce assault on the last vampire, Emilia.

Alexander Corvinus immediately ordered the strike team to depart.

However, it wasn’t to support Emilia, but for the two items currently on his desk.

The keys that could open William’s prison.

Yes.

After the strike team retrieved the large and small keys to William’s prison, the strike team, which was en route to Emilia’s castle, also observed the brilliant light up close.

The strike team did not proceed further and instead returned to the ship.

Later, when Alexander Corvinus learned of Emilia suppressing Lucian, he felt a sense of relief. After all, Emilia had, in a way, avenged his son.

However, by this morning, Alexander Corvinus no longer felt that relief.

Michael, who had merged with the rampaging werewolf gene, had fully awakened. After accepting the designation of Alexander Corvinus as his ancestor, Michael relayed everything he had learned while he was unconscious to Alexander Corvinus.

This was not an accident.

It was a conspiracy.

A mysterious man, in league with Lucian, had plotted to kill Viktor and Marcus.

Alexander Corvinus was shocked, and then came the present moment. European S.H.I.E.L.D., using its highest clearance, intercepted a conversation between Nick Fury and his subordinates and transmitted it to him.

Good heavens.

As Alexander listened to the content of the video and processed the information, he exclaimed "Good heavens!" internally, his anger mounting.

It turned out that this was not his fault, but a despicable and shameless conspiracy.

Lake Edwin.

The Black King!

Alexander Corvinus had already learned of Lake Edwin through the incident on the coastline. Now, from this conversation, he also learned of Coulson and Natasha’s reasonable suspicions and deductions.

How could he tolerate this?

If they killed my son, they must pay with blood.

Alexander Corvinus immediately summoned his subordinates.

"Sir."

"Go to New York."

Alexander Corvinus threw a photograph of Lake Edwin from his desk to his subordinate and said furiously, "Bring him back to me."

The subordinate nodded.
