Chapter 4034

~11 min read 2,049 words

Shiler stood next to the shelf, hiding his figure. He didn't choose to take action for the first time, because he was thinking.

Greed's original intention should be to let the two sides fight for the Infinity Stones, but would he allow one side to collect all the Infinity Stones?

If he allowed it, then Shiler rushing to Doctor Strange to snatch it now shouldn't have any variables; but if he didn't allow it, then he would inevitably appear, lend power to Doctor Strange in the identity of Mephisto, and then Shiler wouldn't be able to beat him, and it would be easy for him to snatch his own Infinity Stones.

And the key to studying this problem is: can snatching the Infinity Stones really end the war?

Judging from the item description of the Infinity Stones, it is likely possible; after all, it's not snapping fingers to destroy half the people, it's just eliminating all the superheroes of the other party, so it shouldn't be difficult to do with such cosmic origin power treasures.

But the problem is, the Infinity Stones of the central universe cannot be used individually, and I don't know if they are shielded or what, anyway, they are completely useless if there are only one or two, so who can guarantee that they can be used after being collected?

In case it's not easy to use after being collected, that would be a huge joke, but Greed loves to play jokes the most.

If it's not easy to use after being collected, then Shiler snatching it now is fine; but if it is judged that one side wins after being collected, then Greed won't let him snatch it so easily.

But Shiler didn't hesitate for too long, bypassed the shelf, came behind the black-robed person, and pressed the laser dagger directly against his waist: "Don't move, give me the Infinity Stone, and I will help you leave."

The other party stiffened suddenly, his voice very hoarse: "Who are you?"

"That's not important, I only want the Infinity Stone."

"Are you Batman's person?"

"Don't ask too much."

"Don't look at the police chasing me now, but we are on the same side. If I shout it out, you won't get any good either."

Shiler showed his credentials in front of him.

"You actually sneaked into the police?! You... damn it, how can these people have no vigilance?!" Doctor Strange sounded very annoyed, but his state was visibly poor; I'm afraid standing was very strenuous.

"I said, give me the stone, at least you can continue to fight afterward; otherwise, you can go back and rest."

"Why should I believe you?"

"You have no other choice."

Doctor Strange was silent for a while, but he still took out a box from his arms. Shiler brought the dagger closer and said: "Open it."

Doctor Strange opened the box, and there was indeed an Infinity Stone lying inside. But the problem now is that Shiler is not a mage, even if he touches the Infinity Stone, he can't distinguish the true from the false, and the possibility of Doctor Strange faking it is very high.

Constantine was sent out by him, and he wouldn't be back for a while. If he just took it over but couldn't distinguish the true from the false, it was very likely that Doctor Strange would run away.

However, Shiler still reached out and took the stone. He compared it with another stone he had been in contact with, found no problems, and put the stone in his pocket.

The next second, he pressed the dagger switch.

The laser dagger cut through the flesh like cutting butter, the main universe Doctor Strange widened his eyes, "Swish" and turned into a white light, completely exiting the stage.

And when he turned into white light, another box fell. Shiler picked it up and looked, and there was an Infinity Stone exactly the same as the previous one inside—this guy really prepared a fake.

But it doesn't matter, Shiler didn't intend to let him go anyway; after killing him, he could naturally get the real one.

He put both stones in his pocket and walked toward the market exit. That white light just now was too conspicuous; if the people chasing him had already boarded this planet, they would inevitably find it and come to investigate, so he had to leave the crime scene quickly.

Just as Shiler passed through the crowd and entered a dark alley, he looked back and saw several figures jump into the window of the magic market.

"Spider-Man..."

Shiler raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, not expecting Marvel to send Spider-Man to chase him. But thinking about it, this is a rare surface battle, naturally it is Spider-Man's home field.

Shiler returned to that small hotel. Constantine returned at about the same time as him, and the two met in the room. Shiler handed both stones to Constantine, and Constantine identified the real one, which was indeed the one dropped after the main universe Doctor Strange died.

"You killed him?" Constantine asked.

Shiler nodded and said: "I couldn't distinguish the true from the false, so I could only kill him and look for it. The person chasing us is Spider-Man."

"Spider-Man?" Constantine narrowed his eyes; he seemed to have heard of it, but didn't know much, so he asked: "Is he very powerful?"

"Most of them are young people, without criminal investigation work experience, it's hard to find us. But they must also know this situation, so the few who came shouldn't be the mass-produced ones, they must be hard to deal with."

Just when the two were talking in the hotel, in front of a stall in the magic market, a person in black, wearing a hat and goggles, with a revolver at his waist, squatted down and picked up some powder on the ground with his fingers.

"He should have been picking goods here," the figure said, "then someone pressed a knife against his waist from behind, and he was also stabbed from behind."

"Who could it be?" Another figure emitting a faint blue light said, "Constantine, or Doctor Strange?"

And another figure wearing a uniform with a spider pattern, but with a flaming skull for a head, saw the jar containing the green glowing liquid on the side.

"It should be Doctor Strange," his voice was exceptionally low, and also revealed a peculiar evil, "This potion is used to heal wounds. Doctor Strange was besieged by the fleet of the Intergalactic Security Committee before and was seriously injured; he might have come to buy medicine."

"He didn't even have the ability to escape?"

"The other party took action very decisively; he might not have reacted at all. Captain Universe, didn't you say they were likely seriously injured?"

The person called Captain Universe shook his head and said: "My judgment was wrong. Judging from the forced landing trajectory, they didn't directly enter the main planet, but might have hit a satellite, which greatly shortened their falling distance and gave them time to rest, so the injuries might not be as serious as imagined."

"Shadow Spider-Man, can you find their hiding place?" The flaming skull turned back and asked.

"Hard to say. You also know that if this guy wasn't a powerful figure, he wouldn't need us." Shadow Spider-Man shook his head lightly, but hesitated for a moment, then said: "I'll try my best to find them; they shouldn't have run too far."

And at this moment, a figure whose entire bodysuit was red, with only the shoulders and head cover black, suddenly swayed and pressed his head with his hand. The three figures in front turned their heads to look at him.

"What's wrong? Kaine? Did you see a precognitive vision again?"

The other party nodded, pointed in a direction, and several people quickly rushed in that direction.

"We're afraid we have to leave here," Shiler said, "If the person coming is Spider-Man, then it might have been Captain Universe who shot down our spaceship before; only he has such strong long-range combat ability, we can't fight them head-on."

"Where are we going now?"

"Go find the Constantine of the main universe, but I hope he can help us wait until reinforcements arrive."

Shiler and Constantine quickly packed their things and rushed toward the Central Tower at the fastest speed. The Central Tower stood in the center of the market, a towering spire, because it was very conspicuous, so it was easy to find. The two found a spaceship from the roadside and drove toward the Central Tower.

Less than two minutes after they left, the Spider-Men caught up to the hotel where they stayed, but it was already empty.

Shadow Spider-Man drew his gun directly and pressed the muzzle against the hotel owner's head. The other party shouted loudly in alien language, as if he couldn't understand what they were saying at all. Captain Universe, who had his own translation system, walked over to ask questions, and the other party also indicated that he hadn't seen the people they were looking for at all.

The others looked at the Scarlet Spider-Man Kaine again. This time Kaine paused for a second or two, and then pointed in a direction.

They continued to chase in that direction, and before long, they approached the Central Tower. And Shiler had already seen their figures on the spaceship, and the Spider-Men had also noticed that this spaceship was flying faster than other spaceships and had a very strong purpose, perhaps it was the target they were looking for.

Captain Universe flew over first and blocked in front of the spaceship. Shiler didn't spoil him at all, turned the shield to the maximum, and stepped on the accelerator—goodbye, speed bump!

Although this definitely wouldn't kill Captain Universe, he naturally wouldn't take it head-on, so he hurriedly dodged, and then reached out a beam of light and hit the engine position of the spaceship.

The spaceship tilted and crashed down, and at this time it was still a certain distance from the Central Tower. When Shiler and Constantine climbed out of the spaceship, they found that the Spider-Men on the ground had surrounded them.

Shadow Spider-Man was about to speak, but a laser beam rushed toward his chest. He cursed, rolled to dodge, and the other Spider-Men also hurriedly found cover.

With just a few seconds of gap, Shiler and Constantine broke out of the encirclement and started running toward the Central Tower.

The Spider-Men chased relentlessly behind, and Captain Universe flew even faster, flying directly in front of Shiler and Constantine. Shiler shot another laser, but Captain Universe didn't dodge or avoid, took it head-on, and was unharmed.

"Constantine!" Shiler shouted.

Constantine also knew that this was a critical moment, not the time to save energy; it was a matter of life and death.

He directly took out the crossbow from before, and an arrowhead with rich blood color shot toward Captain Universe.

This thing carried amazing malice; Captain Universe didn't know what it was, so he still chose to dodge. Taking advantage of his side-turning, Constantine threw a bottle that was on fire, and in an instant, a raging fire rose within a radius of more than ten meters.

Captain Universe was distracted for a moment, and the two ran past him. He flew up again immediately, wanting to continue chasing.

But this fire blocked all his teammates. Shadow Spider-Man braked sharply, then turned around and shouted: "Spider-Man Noir!"

The Spider-Man with the skull head was covered in blue flames: "The Spirit of Vengeance grants me power!!!"

The blue flames directly overwhelmed the red flames and spread along this street. Shiler and Constantine, who were running forward, saw this scene when they looked back and threw themselves into an alley on the left, which was why they weren't burned by the fire.

But when they looked up, they found that this was a dead end, and the Spider-Men behind them had all caught up. Shadow Spider-Man stood at the very front, and the others followed behind him, walking in slowly.

"Spider-Man doesn't seem to kill?" Constantine turned his head and asked in a low voice.

Answering him was a bullet shot from Shadow Spider-Man's revolver.
