Mister Fantastic’s Wedding-Something Was Bound to Go Wrong!

It turned out that just now, while Li Congxin endured Daisy dancing, groping him, and flirting with him all at once, he suddenly sensed a familiar yet strange energy entering the Baxter Building while everyone was celebrating.

The energy was familiar because it contained Dormammu’s dark magic energy and the Phoenix Force. Li Congxin had dealt with both powers extensively, so naturally, he was extremely familiar with them.

But as for what was strange, although he had seen Dark Energy and the Phoenix Force, and had even fought against both powers more than once, he had never seen the two forces merge.

It seemed that that fellow Kaecilius had been quite thorough in his work. Not only had he gained the Phoenix Force’s recognition and successfully absorbed it into his body, obtaining power far more terrifying than before, but even more remarkably, he had not been blinded by the sudden surge in strength.

On the contrary, he knew very clearly that even with both Dark Energy and the Phoenix Force, he still could not be Li Congxin’s opponent. That was why he was acting so cautiously. He had no intention of making a big scene or confronting Li Congxin head-on. Instead, he had quietly infiltrated the Baxter Building, preparing to cause trouble without making a sound.

Li Congxin was quite pleased about this and chose to let him do as he pleased.

It was just a pity about Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman’s wedding. It seemed that another unexpected incident was going to ruin it.

Facing Daisy’s questioning and probing gaze, Li Congxin smiled faintly. "I find this dance extremely precious right now, and I don’t want anything to interrupt it."

Daisy blushed when she heard this. "You really are a scumbag. The most infuriating part is that it took you several years to become a scumbag toward me. That’s just too much…"

The music continued. In the center of the dance floor, Li Congxin and Daisy once again stole the spotlight from Mister Fantastic.

When the song ended, Mister Fantastic, who had been upstaged twice, finally could not stand it anymore. He brought his bride over to Li Congxin and said with a solemn expression, "Mr. Clark, you dance very well."

Li Congxin nodded and calmly accepted the other man’s praise. Then he asked casually, "Mr. Reed, you specifically came to find me. Surely it wasn’t just to compliment my dancing?"

With Mister Fantastic’s broad-mindedness, he obviously would not bring his wife over to protest simply because Li Congxin had stolen his spotlight. After glancing at his wife beside him, Reed spoke. "During a scientific experiment some time ago, Susan was struck by energy from a Parallel Universe. I examined her afterward and discovered an unknown energy inside her body."

"Mr. Clark." Reed’s attitude was extremely sincere. "You’ve seen and experienced a great deal. Could you examine Susan and see whether there are any hidden problems with her body?"

Li Congxin cast a sympathetic glance at the happy-looking Invisible Woman. Being Mister Fantastic’s wife really was not easy for her.

Li Congxin nodded and said directly, "Give me your hand."

"All right." Invisible Woman obediently and slowly extended her right hand. Li Congxin’s expression darkened slightly. "Why did you give me the back of your hand? Don’t tell me you want me to bend down and kiss it. That’s Reed’s job! Turn it over… Just turn your hand over. You don’t need to turn around."

After Invisible Woman turned her wrist over with a bewildered look, Li Congxin reached out and grasped her pulse point. As a trace of Vengeance Divine Power fused with mental energy entered her body, Li Congxin naturally narrowed his eyes and began pretending to be a mystic in front of Doctor Doom.

A moment later, Li Congxin shook his head lightly. "It’s nothing. Your child was merely affected by energy from a Parallel Universe. They now have an X-gene in their body and will become a Mutant."

"A Mutant?" Hearing this completely unfamiliar term from Li Congxin, the Reed couple immediately became nervous. Invisible Woman asked anxiously, "What’s that?"

Li Congxin waved a hand to reassure them. "Relax. Mutants are still human. They simply possess abilities beyond those of ordinary humans, just like the four of you. The difference is that your future child’s ability will be innate."

Despite Li Congxin’s reassurance, the couple still looked somewhat troubled. If they had a choice, they would rather their child be an ordinary person, as long as they inherited Reed’s brilliant mind.

As for superpowers and the like, they did not necessarily consider them a good thing.

Many people wanted to show off and become superheroes, earning the worship of thousands. But hardly any parents would be willing to let their children become superheroes and fight to the death against vicious supervillains.

Besides, even among the Fantastic Four, wasn’t there still the unfortunate Thing?

Who could guarantee that their child would not pay some unimaginable price upon gaining superpowers, a price no ordinary person would have to bear?

Just as the couple was worrying anxiously, a series of urgent alarms suddenly rang out from the surround-sound speakers still playing music. "Beep! Beep! Beep!… Someone has entered the secret laboratory. The defense system has been destroyed… Beep! Beep! Beep!… The enemy has successfully infiltrated the laboratory…"

The sudden alarm instantly drew everyone’s attention. Mister Fantastic shuddered and cried out, "This is bad! There’s an unfinished device in my laboratory. The enemy is after that thing!" With that, he had already taken off toward the Baxter Building, leaving everyone behind.

The other superheroes who had come to celebrate naturally followed close behind. This time, Li Congxin did not steal the spotlight again. Instead, he calmly followed Daisy, Wanda, and the others into the building.

By the time all the superheroes reached the laboratory, it had already been completely deserted. Aside from a hole large enough for one person to pass through, burned into the laboratory door by the Phoenix Force, nothing had been left behind.

Seeing this, Li Congxin’s mind stirred. He released his mental power, which instantly enveloped the entire Earth. Clearly, however, after obtaining what he wanted, the enemy had already left this troubled planet at once.

"Oh, my God!" Seeing the wrecked laboratory, Mister Fantastic cried out in alarm. "Can someone tell me who stole my equipment, and where they took it?"

Li Congxin looked calmly at Reed. "For the sake of Earth’s peace, I hope you’ll avoid conducting research that’s too dangerous in the future. Even if you do, you should at least file it with the Avengers headquarters so everyone can jointly assess the experiment’s level of danger. That is the responsible scientific attitude toward everyone on Earth."

Seeing Reed lower his head in shame, Li Congxin waved a hand. "I can roughly guess where the other party may be going. You should continue with today’s wedding."

"I’ll take care of the rest."

Just as Li Congxin finished giving his instructions and was preparing to clean up the mess, Daisy suddenly spoke. "I’m going with you."

"Very well." Li Congxin nodded and directly released spatial power, taking Daisy with him as they left the Baxter Building and arrived on a gloomy, barren planet.

Daisy looked around in surprise at the surroundings, which resembled a ghostly underworld, and asked with a frown, "Where is this?"

"Svartalfheim, the realm of the Dark Elves among the Nine Realms. However, the Dark Elves have already been wiped out by Thor, his grandfather, and me. Now this really is just a barren planet." As he explained the planet’s origins to Daisy, Li Congxin’s body rose into the air. "Keep up."

As he spoke, Li Congxin’s figure transformed into a streak of light and shot rapidly in one direction. Daisy immediately followed. Both of them were incredibly fast. Even Daisy possessed a terrifying near-light-speed flying speed, while Li Congxin was many times faster.

However, to accommodate Daisy’s speed, he forcibly suppressed his own speed to around ten times the speed of sound.

Starting from the teleportation landing point, the two flew around half of Svartalfheim. By the time they reached their destination, twenty minutes had passed.

Among the desolate hills, traces of the battle between Li Congxin and Malekith could still be seen. Upon this shattered land, a special energy device had already activated, opening an energy passage to a Parallel Universe.

Before the enormous, irregularly shaped machine stood Kaecilius, his body wrapped in two terrifying auras—Dark Energy and the Phoenix Force. He looked toward the newly arrived Li Congxin and Daisy with a grin. Suddenly, half-darkness and half-flames erupted around him in towering waves of energy, and he shouted arrogantly, "Li Congxin, you’re one step too late! The spatial coordinates have been completed. My master will devour this universe!"

Feeling the faint aura of Dark Energy coming from the Spatial Vortex, Li Congxin nodded in satisfaction and calmly said to Kaecilius, "Well done. But you’re useless now."

Kaecilius: ???

Received 999 Impression Points from Kaecilius!

I’ve opened the passage between the Parallel Universes, allowing my master’s Dark Energy to invade this place through another Parallel Universe. Shouldn’t your reaction be anger, terror, frustration, and helplessness?

You should be beating your chest and wishing you could tear me limb from limb.

What’s with that expression that says you’ll be relieved as soon as I finish my task?

I’m not carrying out a task for you!

My task is to help my master Dormammu invade and devour this universe. I’m here to screw you over, got it?
