Chapter 4045 MU: The Superbody Incident (125)
Schiller stood beside the shelf, concealing himself. He didn't act immediately because he was thinking.
The original intention of Greed was to let the two sides fight for the Infinity Stones, but will it actually allow one side to collect all the Infinity Stones?
If he allows it, Schiller can rush up to Doctor Strange and snatch it without any problems; but if he doesn't allow it, he will definitely show himself and lend Doctor Strange his power as Mephisto. In that case, Schiller won't be able to defeat him and will easily lose his Infinity Stone.
The key to studying this issue is: can obtaining the Infinity Stones actually end the war?
Judging from the item descriptions of the Infinity Stones, it's probably possible. After all, it's not like snapping your fingers to wipe out half the population; it's just about eliminating all the enemy's superheroes. Using a treasure with the power of the universe's origin shouldn't be difficult.
The problem is that the Infinity Stones in the central universe cannot be used individually. It's unclear whether they are blocked or not, but having only one or two is completely useless. So who can guarantee that you can use them if you collect them all?
If it still doesn't work after you've collected them all, that would be a huge joke, but greed loves to play jokes.
If collecting them all doesn't make them useful, then Schiller can just go and grab them without any problem; but if collecting them all would declare one side the winner, then greed won't let him grab them so easily.
But Schiller didn't hesitate for long. He went around the shelves and came behind the man in black, pressing the laser dagger against his lower back: "Don't move. Give me the Infinity Stone, and I'll help you leave."
The other person froze abruptly, his voice extremely hoarse: "Who are you?"
"That doesn't matter, all I want are the Infinity Stones."
"Are you one of Batman's men?"
Don't ask too many questions.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that the police are chasing me; we're on the same side. If I make a scene, you won't get away with it."
Schiller simply showed him his identification.
"You actually infiltrated the police force?! You... Damn it, how come these people are so careless?!" Doctor Strange sounded extremely annoyed, but his condition was visibly poor; he probably could barely stand.
“I told you, give me the gems, and at least you can continue fighting; otherwise, you can go back and rest.”
"Why should I trust you?"
You have no other choice.
Doctor Strange paused for a moment, but then pulled a box from his pocket. Schiller brought the dagger closer and said, "Open it."
Doctor Strange opened the box, and inside lay the Infinity Stones. But the problem was that Schiller wasn't a sorcerer, and even if he had access to the Infinity Stones, he couldn't tell if they were real or fake, while the possibility of Doctor Strange forging them was very high.
Constantine has been sent out and won't be back for a while. If he takes him over without being able to tell the truth from the falsehood, Doctor Strange might escape.
Schiller, however, still reached out and took the gem. He compared it with another gem he had handled, found nothing wrong with it, and put it in his pocket.
The next second, he pressed the switch on the dagger.
The laser dagger sliced through flesh like butter. Doctor Strange from the main universe suddenly opened his eyes wide, and with a "whoosh," he turned into a white light and disappeared completely.
As he turned into white light, another box fell down. Schiller picked it up and saw that it contained the exact same Infinity Stone as the previous one—this guy had indeed prepared a fake.
But it doesn't matter, Schiller never intended to let him go anyway, he'll get the real thing after killing him.
He put both gems in his pocket and headed towards the market exit. That white light was far too conspicuous; if his pursuers had already landed on this planet, they would surely have noticed and come to investigate. He had to leave the scene of the crime as soon as possible.
Just as Schiller was weaving through the crowd and into a dark alley, he turned back and saw several figures leap into the windows of the Magic Market.
"Spider-Man..."
Schiller raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting Marvel to send Spider-Man to chase him. But thinking about it, it made sense; this was a rare ground-based battle, naturally Spider-Man's home turf.
Schiller returned to the small hotel. Constantine returned around the same time, and the two met in the room. Schiller handed both gems to Constantine, who identified the real one—the very one that had fallen after Doctor Strange's death in the main universe.
"You killed him?" Constantine asked.
Schiller nodded, then said, "I can't tell the difference between the real and the fake, so I can only kill them and search again. The people chasing us are Spider-Man."
“Spider-Man?” Constantine narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have heard of him, but didn’t know much about him, so he asked, “Is he very powerful?”
“Most of them are young people with no experience in criminal investigation, so it’s hard for them to find us. But they must know this situation, so the few who came must not be ordinary people, and they must be difficult to deal with.”
Just as the two were talking in the hotel, in front of a stall in the magic market, a person dressed in black, wearing a hat and goggles, with a revolver at his waist, squatted down and picked up some powder from the ground with his fingers.
“He was supposed to be picking out merchandise here,” the figure said, “and then someone held a knife to his waist from behind and stabbed him to death from behind.”
"Who could it be?" another figure, emanating a faint blue light, asked. "Constantine, or Doctor Strange?"
Meanwhile, another figure wearing a uniform with a spider pattern but with a flaming skull on its head saw the can containing the green, glowing liquid next to it.
“It should be Doctor Strange,” his voice was unusually deep, with a strange hint of evil. “This potion is used to heal wounds. Doctor Strange was besieged by the Interstellar Security Committee’s fleet and was seriously injured. He may have come to buy the potion.”
"He doesn't even have the ability to escape?"
"The other side acted swiftly; he probably didn't even have time to react. Captain Universe, didn't you say they were both likely seriously injured?"
The man known as Captain Cosmos shook his head and said, "My judgment was wrong. Judging from the crash landing trajectory, the two of them did not directly enter the main planet, but may have collided with a satellite. This greatly shortened their fall distance and gave them time to rest, so their injuries may not be as serious as we thought."
"Spider-Man Noir, can you find their hideout?" the flaming skull asked, turning around.
"It's hard to say. You know, if this guy wasn't a formidable figure, he wouldn't need us." The Spider-Man Noir, dressed in black, shook his head slightly, but after a moment's hesitation, he said, "I'll try to find them; they shouldn't have gone too far."
At that moment, a figure dressed entirely in red, with only black shoulders and a black hood, suddenly swayed and pressed his hand to his head. The three figures in front of him turned to look at him.
"What's wrong, Kane? Did you see the premonition again?"
The other person nodded and pointed in a direction, and the group quickly headed in that direction.
“We probably have to get out of here,” Schiller said. “If the newcomers are Spider-Man, then the one who shot down our ship earlier was probably Captain Universe. Only he has such powerful long-range combat capabilities. We can’t fight them head-on.”
Where are we going now?
"Go find Constantine in the main universe, and hopefully he can help us wait for reinforcements to arrive."
Schiller and Constantine quickly packed their things and headed towards the central tower as fast as they could. The central tower stood in the center of the market, a towering spire that seemed to reach into the clouds; it was very conspicuous and easy to find. The two simply found a spaceship by the roadside and flew towards the central tower.
Less than two minutes after they left, the Spider-Men arrived at the hotel where they were staying, but it was already deserted.
Spider-Man Noir immediately drew his gun and pressed the muzzle against the hotel owner's head. The man was shouting in an alien language, seemingly unable to understand them at all. Captain Universe, with his built-in translation system, went over to ask him questions, and the man also said he had never seen the person they were looking for.
The others then looked at Scarlet Spider Kane. This time, Kane paused for a second or two before pointing in another direction.
They continued their pursuit in that direction and soon approached the central tower. Schiller had already spotted them from the spaceship, and the Spider-Men had also noticed that this spaceship was moving faster than the others and had a very clear purpose; it might be their target.
Captain Universe flew forward first, blocking the spaceship's path. Schiller wasn't about to let him get away with it; he activated his shields to maximum and slammed on the gas—goodbye, speed bump!
Although this impact certainly wouldn't kill Captain Universe, he certainly wouldn't take it head-on. He quickly dodged and then shot a beam of light at the spaceship's engine.
The spaceship plummeted downwards, still some distance from the central tower. When Schiller and Constantine climbed out of the spaceship, they found themselves surrounded by Spider-Man on the ground.
Just as Spider-Man Noir was about to speak, a laser beam shot towards his chest. He cursed under his breath, rolled away to avoid it, and the other Spider-Men quickly sought cover as well.
In those few seconds, Schiller and Constantine broke through the encirclement and began running towards the central tower.
The Spider-Men were hot on their heels, with Captain Universe flying incredibly fast, directly in front of Schiller and Constantine. Schiller fired another laser beam, but Captain Universe neither dodged nor evaded, taking the hit without a scratch.
“Constantine!” Schiller shouted.
Constantine knew that this was a critical moment, not a time to conserve energy; it was a matter of life and death.
He pulled out his crossbow and fired a blood-red arrow at Captain Universe.
This thing carried an astonishing malice. Captain Universe didn't know what it was, so he chose to dodge. Taking advantage of his sidestep, Constantine threw a burning bottle, and instantly, flames erupted within a radius of several meters.
In the blink of an eye, the two ran past Captain Universe, and he immediately took flight again, wanting to continue the chase.
But the fire blocked all his teammates. Spider-Man Noir slammed on the brakes, then turned and shouted, "Spider-Man: Evil Spirit!"
Spider-Man, sporting a skull, erupted in blue flames: "Spirit of Vengeance, grant me power!!!"
The blue flames completely overwhelmed the red flames and spread along the street. Schiller and Constantine, who were running forward, turned around and saw this scene. They quickly lunged into an alleyway on the left, thus avoiding being burned by the flames.
But when they looked up, they found themselves in a dead end, and the Spider-Men behind them all caught up. Spider-Man Noir stood at the front, with the others following behind him, walking slowly into the alley.
"Spider-Man doesn't kill people, does he?" Constantine turned and asked in a low voice.
His answer was a bullet fired from Spider-Man Noir's revolver.
