The Blood Clan’s Might

"Annihilus, today is the day you die."

Quake King, the fusion of Black Bolt and Skye, said contemptuously to Annihilus. Annihilus asked in surprise, "Knull’s Fusion Concept? Wait, your shield seems to carry Knull’s aura."

"What’s strange about that?" Quake King said. "The raw material for this shield is Knull’s soul."

"You turned my soul into a shield?"

Seeing his soul refined into a shield, Knull roared madly, "I’ll kill you all! I’ll tear you to pieces!"

"You’ve said that plenty of times."

Quake King sneered and said arrogantly, "Trash like you can’t even withstand one move from me. Don’t come out here and waste my time. Annihilus, summon Negative Space, or you aren’t qualified to fight me."

"What did you say?"

Annihilus and Knull both widened their eyes. They had seen plenty of arrogant people, but never anyone this arrogant.

The others secretly rolled their eyes. Newly created fusion beings generally had personality problems. New Captain America did, Blond Hulk did, and Quake King was no exception.

However, Quake King was right about one thing—he really was strong. That was why Black Bolt and Skye were the ones wielding the fusion shield.

Shockwaves combined with Sonic Wave, the Inhumans Queen combined with the Inhumans King, had created a super powerhouse that left everyone dumbfounded.

"This lad truly has my style from back in the day."

Dracula nodded with satisfaction, putting on the air of a big shot. He had not been brought here to fight this time; he had a special purpose.

Lilith silently complained, Would it kill him not to show off?

"Die!"

Knull could no longer endure it. With a furious shout, he transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Quake King. At that moment, Jessica, glowing red, suddenly appeared in front of him and slammed down a fist that shattered the void.

Knull was greatly startled and hurriedly raised his greatsword before himself. With a clang, he was blasted away like a meteor, and the greatsword in his hand shattered on the spot.

"How is she so much stronger than last time?"

Knull gasped. Jessica’s strength had doubled compared to before. Even the Devouring Concept could not devour it.

Naturally, Knull did not know that, with the "help" of Serpent God Set, Jessica now possessed the power bestowed by two Crimson Gods.

"You seem even weaker than last time."

Tony and Ivan chased after him from either side, joining forces to besiege Knull. Knull flew into a rage, recondensed his greatsword, and engaged the two in a fierce battle in space.

Jessica gave a cold laugh, stomped through the void, and traversed space to Knull’s side. Her fist crashed down like a hammer that could shatter the heavens. Knull did not dare block it and hurriedly dodged.

Tony and Ivan seized the chance to attack. Knull slipped up and was hit by a missile, leaving him in a miserable state.

"You bunch of vermin, I’ll kill you!"

Knull was nearly driven insane with rage. He was a veteran Ancient God, yet he could not even deal with three little brats and had been struck by them repeatedly? If he did not restore his dignity, how could he show his face among the Ancient Gods again?

Leaving the enraged Knull aside for the moment, Quake King shouted at Annihilus, "Why haven’t you summoned Negative Space yet? Don’t waste my time. I make tens of billions of Universal Currency a minute. You can’t afford to waste it."

"Die!"

Annihilus was furious. It said no more, abruptly traversed space to appear behind Quake King, and swung its sword hard at his head, slicing even the void apart.

Quake King did not even turn around. He merely snorted softly, and the space behind him suddenly shattered, driven by Sonic Wave as it blasted toward Annihilus.

Annihilus was greatly alarmed and hurriedly held its sword before itself. The next moment, the sword shattered and the insect was sent flying.

Annihilus stopped several kilometers away. It stared at Quake King in shock and shouted, "Impossible."

"There’s nothing impossible about it."

Quake King tapped the void with his toe, causing ripples to spread through space. Like flowing water, they carried him swiftly toward Annihilus. He shouted, "Summon Negative Space, or you’ll die immediately."

Annihilus’s expression became incomparably ugly. It shouted, and a projection of Negative Space suddenly appeared behind it. Immediately afterward, its aura surged wildly. It was not surrendering—it simply would truly die if it did not summon Negative Space.

"Die."

Annihilus thrust both hands forward, firing two enormous annihilation beams at Quake King. Even space was annihilated, unable to heal for a long time.

"Now that’s more like it."

Quake King nodded in satisfaction and gave a loud shout. Space transformed into layer upon layer of waves that surged toward the annihilation beams. The two energies collided violently in space, causing vast areas of the surrounding void to collapse and shatter as if the end of the world had arrived.

"This is what I wanted, Annihilus. Please listen to my song."

Quake King laughed loudly and began singing "Opera 2" once more. Within several kilometers, all of space trembled. Then space turned into ocean waves, surging layer upon layer toward Annihilus.

"So terrifying?"

Even Annihilus was badly startled. The surrounding space was completely under Quake King’s control.

Annihilus did not dare let down its guard. It used Annihilation Energy to fight attack with attack, resisting the Sonic Wave and shockwaves. Even it was somewhat overwhelmed by such a terrifying offensive.

"What is wrong with these Super Heroes? Why did they become so powerful after fusing?"

Annihilus could not understand it at all. It cursed Knull viciously in its heart. If not for that fool’s incompetence, how could there be so much trouble?

"Good defense, Annihilus! Make sure you hold on!"

Quake King shouted excitedly with his psychic power. Everything in the universe had a breath, a vibration; even the universe itself was no exception. Quake King was only one step away from sensing the universe’s breath.

He needed a powerful opponent to help him cross that threshold and sense the universe’s breath. Once he succeeded, he would possess the Shock Concept and become a Half-Step Ancient God.

To him, Annihilus was nothing more than a stepping stone.

"How can they be this powerful?"

Seeing the distant battle, Hela could not help asking Little Hela, who was blocking her Night Sky Sword, "The Fusion Concept can’t be this terrifying, can it?"

"Isn’t one plus one not equaling two common sense?"

Little Hela complained. "Earth’s Super Heroes are all full of potential. Fusion greatly stimulates that potential, which is why they’re so powerful.

Master once said that Earth is the center of the universe, a place overflowing with outstanding people. These Super Heroes are proof."

"Rather than saying Earth produces exceptional people, it would be more accurate to say they all have cheats activated."

Hela complained, then said, "Hela, you’re an Asgardian, not an Earthling. Why are you helping Earth annex Asgard?"

As she spoke, Hela’s sword attacks suddenly sped up. Her sword shadows filled the void, dense and countless, flooding toward her opponent like a tide.

Little Hela showed no fear. With the Light Sword, she blocked every attack, then said, "First, I’m half-Earthling and half-Asgardian. I grew up on Earth from the moment I was born. My soul belongs to Earth; only my body belongs to Asgard.

Besides, annexing Asgard is for Asgard’s own good. You’ve seen what kind of person the Asgard King is. If Asgard does not join the Earth Federation, Thor will ruin it sooner or later."

Hela shouted unhappily, "I will inherit Asgard’s throne. I don’t deny that Earth is powerful, but with me here, Asgard will not lose to Earth."

"You? Do you know that you are precisely the fundamental reason I want to annex Asgard?"

Little Hela said unhappily, "You led the insect race to kill half the life in the universe. Whether you succeed or not, Asgard will become a target of public condemnation. Without Earth and Master protecting it, how will Asgard face the rage of the Entire Universe?"

Hela snorted. "With me here, who would dare touch Asgard?"

"Why wouldn’t they? If half the universe’s life is wiped out, the survivors will definitely do everything they can to seek revenge. Earth will be no exception."

Little Hela said, "Can you alone defeat all of Earth’s Super Heroes? Even if you can, Asgard will still be destroyed in the flames of war. That is why Asgard needs a backer. Only then can it avoid destruction.

Everything I do is for Asgard. Unlike you, I don’t only think about myself."

"With me in Asgard, no one will destroy it. I, Hela, will never allow Earth to annex Asgard. Asgard is the realm of gods!"

Hela shouted. The ground split apart, and countless Death Swords shot out, densely raining down on everyone.

Everyone hurriedly dodged. Little Hela and Electro unleashed their ultimate moves at the same time. Countless energies collided violently in space, blooming like gorgeous fireworks.

Meanwhile, the Blood Clan faced a group of insect generals. Blade adjusted his sunglasses and said, "We’re the direct line, yet they’re making us deal with minor grunts? Isn’t that looking down on us too much?"

"This is our first battle on a space battlefield. It’s normal for Skye to choose a conservative strategy."

Mercury said coldly, "Kill these insect generals as quickly as possible, then go help the others. That way, they’ll know just how powerful the direct line is."

Lilith and Nissa nodded at the same time. "Exactly."

"Good idea."

Blade appeared before an insect general like a bolt of lightning. The long blade on his back suddenly left its sheath, transforming into a dazzling mass of blade light that engulfed the insect general.

"What sharp blade light."

The insect general was preparing to traverse space when the blood throughout its body suddenly began spinning wildly out of control. It was greatly alarmed and hurriedly used its own energy to control its blood.

That delay cost the insect general its chance to escape. It could only use its wings to block Blade’s scalp-numbing blade light.

Blade’s long blade was forged from Vibranium and enchanted with magic, making it exceptionally sharp. After only a few strikes, it severed the insect general’s wings. Then Blade slashed at the insect general’s neck like lightning.

Gritting its teeth, the insect general simply did not dodge. With a shout, countless spikes burst from its body and shot densely toward Blade.

If Blade did not dodge, death would be his only outcome. The insect general was gambling everything on a desperate counterattack. Yet in the next breath, its head flew high into the air.

Blade had beheaded the insect general. At the same time, countless spikes pierced through Blade’s body and flew swiftly out through his back, carrying his blood with them.

Blade instantly became a tattered sack riddled with holes.

Tony turned back and saw the scene, unable to stop himself from complaining, "What? Mutual destruction? Did it have to be so brutal? And this is what the direct line is like?"

"Idiot."

Blade sneered. His body healed at a visible speed. Even more astonishingly, all the blood that had flown away returned to his body, as if time had reversed.

Blade coolly adjusted his sunglasses. Everything spoke for itself.

Tony’s eyes lit up as he shouted, "Wow, an immortal body."

Ivan said, "Immortal body my ass. His true body is those sunglasses. As long as they don’t break, he won’t die no matter what happens to his body."

"That works too?"

As Tony complained, he fired lasers at Knull. Knull hurriedly dodged, only to find that Jessica had already been waiting nearby. She threw a punch, sending Knull flying once again. His greatsword and both hands shattered on the spot.

Blade ignored Ivan’s mockery and rushed toward the other insect generals. The sunglasses thing was naturally a joke. After the Blood Clan advanced to the god level, they all gained immortal bodies—unless the Blood Core in their bodies was destroyed, they would basically not die.

Furthermore, Blade and the others had lost the Blood Clan’s weaknesses: fear of sunlight, fear of silver, and fear of garlic. The Osborn Corporation’s research over the years had not been for nothing. More than a trillion had been burned in funding alone.

However, the New Human Project had not yet been completed. At present, the Osborn Corporation had only developed a life-extension serum usable by ordinary people, capable of extending lifespan by around ten years—making back the investment would not be a problem at all.

Leaving that aside, as Blade killed the insect general, Mercury swung her Samurai Sword in a fierce battle against a Multi-Armed Insect General. The Multi-Armed Insect General held six long blades, yet it still could not withstand Mercury’s single blade and was forced back step by step.

"Why are you so slow? If you’re this slow, what’s the point of having so many hands?"

Mercury cursed while swinging her long blade until it bloomed like silver light. The Multi-Armed Insect General’s face turned red with anger, yet it could not refute her.

It was not that it had nothing to say, but that it had no chance to say it. Its opponent was simply too fast. The moment it lost focus, it would immediately be cut.

"I have to change this situation. If this continues, I’ll definitely die."

The Multi-Armed Insect General thought to itself. At that moment, countless Blood-Colored Spears suddenly shot out from Mercury’s chest, piercing through its entire body like a hedgehog.

Next, the Blood-Colored Spears frantically devoured the Multi-Armed Insect General’s blood, causing it to wither at a visible speed.

After completely draining the Multi-Armed Insect General, Mercury recalled the Blood-Colored Spears, her face full of satisfaction. She was not satisfied because she had absorbed God Blood, but because she possessed the same ability as the Blood God.

Blood weaponization.

"My God, I will never disgrace you."

Mercury gave a savage smile and turned to pounce toward the other insect generals. At the same time, Xue Ren, Lilith, and the others killed their opponents one after another. Those insect generals simply could not stop them.

Immortal bodies, extreme speed, and blood control—these were abilities possessed by all god-level Blood Clan members. Combined with the special techniques they had cultivated through hard work, what were mere insect generals worth? What’s so impressive about that? If I had as much God Blood as you, I’d be even stronger than you! The Blood God truly is the Blood God. He actually provides unlimited God Blood. That’s God Blood—purified, pure God Blood. I haven’t even drunk much of it myself.

Watching the one-sided battlefield, Dracula cursed with envy, jealousy, and resentment. Blade and the others were so powerful because Wang Bert had brought back massive amounts of God Blood from parallel universes to nourish them.

That was God Blood. How could the Blood Clan not become powerful when raised on God Blood?

In the entire universe, only Wang Bert could be so extravagant. The Blood Clan had truly accumulated blessings over eight lifetimes to be able to follow the Blood God.

"As long as the Blood Clan drinks blood, they can grow stronger. Their potential is enormous."

Wang Bert smiled. That was also one of the reasons he had chosen to vigorously cultivate the Blood Clan: they could be developed quickly.
