Chapter 85

Seeing that Mr. Negative was about to be captured, a victorious smile was about to appear on Nick Fury's face—

Wu—!

Wu—!

Wu—!

Several more car sounds, and several nondescript cars stopped opposite the S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicles.

From these cars, gang members wearing demon masks stepped out, holding guns and confronting the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents—

The Inner Demon lackeys had finally arrived.

As gang members.

Their execution was definitely not as good as professional agents, so they arrived a while later than the S.H.I.E.L.D. people.

"Ugh..."

Mr. Negative was helped into the car by a lackey, finally able to catch his breath, and ordered his subordinates, "These should be people from government departments; don't engage them in a firefight, just scare them and we'll leave..."

The lackey nodded and was about to convey the order—

However...

Martin Li wanted to settle things peacefully.

Nick Fury didn't want to let him go.

Could S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who had undergone professional training, be afraid of these gangsters?

Even Kingpin was scared into prison by S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Egghead: ———"Arrest them all!"

The firefight started instantly!

Boom! Pop!

Bang! Snap! Bang!

After various gunshots continued for a while.

The Egghead originally thought that with the combat proficiency of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, the battle would end soon.

But these Inner Demon members had brought out weapons enchanted with negative energy, which increased their combat power significantly, allowing them to trade blows with the agents.

This led to a stalemate for a time.

Plus Captain Rogers, who was still barely being controlled, the agents were even faintly losing...

Nick Fury looked so frustrated, feeling like a tiger on the plains being bullied by dogs...

On the other side.

Ye Li hadn't left.

Instead, he stood on a street lamp not far away, watching the show while checking the system rewards—

[You have defeated Gwen Stacy's destined enemy; as her "connection," you can choose one of the following rewards:]

[1. Money reward: One million USD]

[2. Random reward: Comprehend the use of Bio-Field]

[3. Servant reward: Convert Martin Li, gain an absolutely loyal subordinate]

Hmm...

Martin Li... could be considered a relatively useful summon; he could cooperate with Electro during battle to produce super flashy special effects...

Negative energy could also be used to enchant the weapons of some subordinates, such as Silver Sable's "Wild Pack."

The reason Ye Li didn't help S.H.I.E.L.D. capture Martin Li was that he knew—if Mr. Negative fell into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands, he would definitely be used to develop negative energy weapons.

He wouldn't do such a favor for the Egghead.

However.

Compared to the random reward of option [2], Martin Li, who could enchant weapons, seemed a bit chicken-rib-like.

Bio-Field, something similar to Superman's.

It's called the organism's own field.

But it's more like a subjective power.

It can penetrate into the quantum realm, ignore friction, allow force to diffuse evenly, and resist most damage.

Or conversely, it can concentrate force on a single point; with micro-manipulation, it can easily change atomic structures, compress energy, adjust the direction of force, etc.

Anyway, it's quite omnipotent; it belongs to the kind of power that "I think I can do it," so I can do it.

But this thing, like the Golden Light Mantra, is an ability that gets stronger as Ye Li himself gets stronger, and its effects remain to be developed.

Ye Li decisively chose [Bio-Field] and felt it for a while, then concluded—

Currently, using this ability in conjunction with the Golden Light Mantra is a good choice.

Combined, the two can amplify each other.

Bang!

Over here.

Nick Fury had personally drawn his gun to join the fray, but he still couldn't defeat Steve.

Helpless, he had to threaten the Inner Demon members: "Do you want to be enemies with S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

The Inner Demon members had never heard of S.H.I.E.L.D. And compared to his arch-enemy "Hammerhead," Martin Li's ruling methods were gentler, so the members were quite loyal to him and didn't take Nick Fury's threat to heart.

However...

Mr. Negative had heard of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reputation!

His heart panicked.

He chose to use up the last bit of negative energy in Steve's body and gave the order to attack Nick Fury—

To hold back the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Then, he immediately said to the lackey in the driver's seat: "Drive away quickly!"

The lackey was so scared he trembled and hurriedly started the car.

Wuhu—!

The vehicle broke through S.H.I.E.L.D.'s blockade.

And drove away toward the suburbs.

Escaping this time.

Martin Li intended to keep a low profile for a while; S.H.I.E.L.D. was not someone he could afford to provoke...

Fury faced Steve running toward him, holding a special pistol, and was hesitating whether to shoot—

Clang!

The gold-red armor suddenly landed in front of the Egghead, blocking Captain America's punch with one hand, "Look, who's this? A new supervillain?"

Click~

Tony's Iron Man helmet tilted, greeting Nick Fury: "I originally wanted to invite you to enjoy the painting together, Director Fury, but it looks like your head almost got smashed open, so we'll have to wait a while."

"Thanks for your good intentions, Tony."

Fury reminded him, "But Captain Rogers is not easy to deal with; be careful."

"Captain Rogers? Seems like I've heard that name somewhere..."

Tony was just recalling when Steve suddenly hugged him violently and performed a back-throw—

Bang!!

"Oh! Shit, you guy!"

The palm repulsor lit up, and intense light blasted Steve away.

Whoosh—

The Iron Man armor sprayed energy and hovered.

Tony aimed his palm at Steve, who was smashed into the wreckage of the car, and was about to fire another shot, "Do you know how powerful I am, Captain Roger... Hmm? This name sounds... why does it sound so much like that American soldier from the last century?"

"Tony, be careful not to hold back!"

Egghead hurriedly stopped him, "He is Captain America, Steve Rogers!"

"What?"

Mr. Stark was full of question marks, but he still extinguished the light in his palm, "Fury, this joke isn't funny."

"Ugh..."

Steve was blasted by a shot, and the negative energy in his body was finally exhausted.

He shook his head and climbed up, sighing, ".....This era is much more dangerous than I thought......"

"The world is changing so fast.

It has exceeded your imagination."

Nick Fury walked up to him and extended his hand to invite him, "So we need you even more, Captain."

Steve shook his head.

Egghead was a bit surprised.

——He hasn't recovered after a fight?.... According to Captain America's personality, that shouldn't be...

Steve shook his head and laughed, climbed up himself, and shook his hand, "You can't move me...."

"Wow~ So you really are Captain America?"

Tony landed next to them, "It's unbelievable."

Steve nodded, "There are more things I find unbelievable; you are..."

Fury introduced Tony to him, "He is Tony Stark, Howard's son."

Steve recalled some memories and looked at the Iron Man armor on Tony with some emotion, "You are like your father, a genius..."

"Thanks for the compliment, many people say that.

But actually..."

Tony said narcissistically, "I will prove that I am better than my father."

Fury: "Captain, you need to understand many things; I will send you a file later... Tony, you will receive one too."

Ding-dong~

A crisp knocking sound came, which seemed a bit abrupt in this silent, cleared street.

Tony and the others turned to look—

They saw Ye Li had changed back into casual clothes, sitting at an outdoor table outside a cafe, elegantly tapping the coffee cup in front of him with a silver spoon, "Will you send me one too? Director Fury."

"Li?"

Tony greeted him first, "Why are you here?"

Ye Li smiled lightly, "Is it strange for me to be in front of my own cafe? Tony."

"Fine, it's good that you're here; it reminds me of this."

Tony pressed a few times on his gauntlet, and a scan of "The Battle of New York" was projected, "Fury, Li said you can take a look at this; do you like it?"

Egghead: ?? Are you here to sell me a painting?

Fury said politely, "Wow... very good, Mr. Ye's work is indeed great, but you know, I don't have time to appreciate these..."

"This is..."

Steve was attracted by the blue beam of light rising in the painting—this was too similar to the scene when Red Skull was teleported away by the Tesseract...

He touched the projection with his fingertip, wanting to see it more clearly...

Sssss—

However, Tony suddenly turned off the projection.

Steve thought this son of Howard was teasing him, "Mr. Stark? What are you doing?"

Fury thought Rogers liked the painting and echoed, "You should respect your elders, Tony."

"Huh? The Captain doesn't consider himself my elder."

Stark retorted to the Egghead and explained to Rogers, "Li only lets Director Nick look at this painting once; if he wants to see it again, he has to pay. You being able to see it is already an extra benefit, Captain."

After saying that.

Tony flew to Ye Li, who was sitting peacefully, and handed him a small loading chip that popped out of his gauntlet, "You saw it, Li, he saw it, and he wasn't very interested. You can open up sales channels to S.H.I.E.L.D. yourself; I have things to do... I have to install new clean energy for Stark Tower... and go on a date with Pepper..."

Ye Li pressed the loading chip in confusion, and it projected a scan of "The Battle of New York," "So? Where is my original painting?"

"Oh.... it's at Stark Tower."

Tony took off from the spot with a guilty conscience, "You can come pick it up when you have time, I'm leaving!"

"Uh-huh?"

Ye Li's super spider-sense flashed, and a scene appeared in his mind: [Tony holding a painting, and then the painting being torn by a strong wind]...

"President Ye."

Fury sat opposite him, "Although you refused to join us and are not an internal member, I will send you a copy of the file.

This relates to a S.H.I.E.L.D. project, and I hope we can reach a cooperation on this project; I will arrange for Seeing Seeing Natasha to communicate with you on the specific matters..."

Ye Li sized up Captain America next to Fury and replied, "We'll talk after I read the file."

If nothing unexpected happens...

It should be the Avengers Initiative...

The Egghead's intention was also obvious—

——He wanted to recruit the superheroes of the club...

Even the Black Spider...

Ye Li naturally wouldn't agree, but getting his hands on the Avengers' file wasn't a loss.

Ghost Spider Club.

In the lounge dedicated to core members.

"Come on, recite it with me~"

Gwen sat cross-legged on a yoga mat, her posture peaceful and beautiful, and she articulated clearly, "Heaven and Earth Profound Sect, the root of all Qi, widely cultivate my method, prove my supernatural powers..."

Cindy, who was in the same posture next to her, followed suit, "....Heaven and Earth Profound Sect.... root of all Qi.... widely cultivate... widely cultivate my method.... prove my supernatural powers....."

Her soft, glutinous voice, although she hit the notes, sounded stumbling and was far from Gwen's clear and rounded pronunciation.

"Cindy, just reciting it isn't enough.

You have to understand the meaning behind it."

Gwen opened her small, white-and-pink palms, and strands of golden light emerged from them, becoming thinner and thinner...

Finally, the golden light turned into golden threads like spider silk, swaying and dancing in her hands~

Through unremitting efforts.

Gwen finally cultivated the Golden Light Mantra.

Perhaps because of her mutated physique.

She was gifted and progressed extremely fast, even creating her own method of using golden light as spider silk.

This was also thanks to Ye Li, who often carefully explained the operation of the Golden Light Mantra to her, including personally pointing out all the human meridians and acupoints on her body...

"Hmm!"

Cindy nodded, "As long as practicing this can make me stronger, I will work hard!"

Gwen asked with concern, "Is that Morlun you mentioned really that powerful? I see you worried all day long, which isn't very good."

"I'm not very sure either.....

But, occasionally I sense the miserable wails of totem users from other worlds... it makes one's blood run cold......."

Morlun had almost become a heart disease for poor little Cindy.

If she had only been worried about herself before.

Then now, she had to add Ye Li and Gwen, who were also spider totem users...

Gwen comforted her, "Don't worry, Li, and Jessica and the others, we will all help you~"

Cindy glanced at Ye Li, who was playing with Skye, and nodded sweetly, "Hmm..... thank you all......"

In her heart, she thought firmly: [....I will protect you all too......]

"I'm almost there, I'm almost there!"

The faint light from the flickering screen reflected on her fair and pretty face.

Skye typed on the keyboard, anxiously, "I'm almost..."
