Chapter 679: Daddy Brawl (Part 3)

In a secret space somewhere in the multiverse, inside a blood-red Gothic castle, the light was dim, and a long carpet led from the stairs all the way to the hall.

The torches hanging on the walls emitted a faint cold light, illuminating the oil paintings on the walls, making the figures in the oil paintings look particularly eerie and terrifying.

This castle, which was no different from the ancient castles in vampire literature, was the location of the Inheritor family, also known as the Morlun family.

The Morlun family, although they had appeared once before, could be said to have no presence. But in fact, in the Spider-Man series of comics, they could already be called the number one villain.

The Morlun family, also known as the Inheritor family, had the code name Cosmic Vampires. They hunted Spider-Man in the universe to obtain the power of the Spider Totem. However, they didn't hunt Spider-Man entirely because they wanted to obtain power, but also because of a prophecy.

This prophecy was very simple. Anyway, it said that in the future, the Inheritor family would be destroyed by Spider-Man. In order to prevent their family from being destroyed, members of the Morlun family began to kill Spider-Man in the multiverse.

In the comics, Spider-Man frequently disappearing aroused the vigilance of other Spider-Men, so they formed a legion to deal with the Morlun family, but the result was not very good.

The Morlun family could restrain the Spider Totem. Spider-Man, who was considered powerful on Earth, had no power to resist in their hands. In most cases, when one-on-one, Spider-Man was at a complete disadvantage.

The Inheritor family also had a great record, which was once seriously injuring Black Panther. However, this Black Panther they seriously injured was actually the leader of Wakanda, not Bast, the Panther God who lived on the great grassland.

If placed in the Spider-Man comic alone, this was indeed already a very powerful enemy. After all, in the impression of most people, Spider-Man is a good neighbor in New York, and the opponents he deals with are just the Sinister Six. In most cases, the comics carry some humorous elements, suitable for all ages.

Looking at it this way, the Morlun family, a villain that requires many Spider-Men to unite to deal with, already had enough deterrent power.

But if placed in the entire Marvel comic world, the Morlun family's record was pitifully small. The ones that could be taken out, besides dealing with Spider-Man very easily, seriously injuring Black Panther and killing Wolverine in a certain world in seconds, were already top-ranked records. If you have to pick the most powerful record, it was once defeating the Toei Spider-Man "Four Hundred Auntie."

At this time, in the castle of the Morlun family, the scene of wearing formal wear, dancing in the moonlight, or plotting conspiracies in front of the fireplace, as in many vampire literature works, did not appear.

In the entire hall, many members of the Morlun family were lying horizontally and vertically. Of course, they were all still alive, just exhausted.

They were indeed wearing formal wear, but at this time it was already a mess, and the carefully groomed hair was also scattered. The whole person could be said to be incomparably sloppy, completely different from the big villain image that appeared in the comics.

To ask how they got themselves into this state, we have to start from the previous bat invasion event.

The dark power from Batman infected a member of the Morlun family, and this member opened the family's internal psychic communication network, causing this power to infect infinitely.

At that time, all members of the Morlun family who accessed this communication network were infected. But not everyone opened the psychic communication at all times, and many powerful members of the Morlun family luckily escaped a disaster.

When this group of bat believers returned to the Morlun family, a great battle broke out between the two sides. Finally, the sober members of the Morlun family gained the upper hand. After paying an extremely heavy price, they defeated this group of infected bat believers. At the same time, they discovered a strange totem power on them.

As everyone knows, the Morlun family and the Spider Totem are mortal enemies. They are familiar with the power of totems. Discovering this new wild beast totem swept away the gloom brought by their previous heavy losses.

They, who often deal with totems, discovered that this totem should be a newborn wild beast totem. At the same time, they also knew that the state of a newborn totem is unstable and can be controlled.

In order to deal with the Spider Totem, they had thought of countless ways, and now, a newborn totem was placed in front of them, just like a delicious dish emitting fragrance. Members of the Morlun family of course wanted to control this newborn totem.

How powerful is a wild beast totem? Just look at the Spider-Men in all universes. If they could control a newborn totem, they would be able to obtain a bat army like this group of Spider-Men.

The Morlun family also had ambitions to expand their power and improve their strength. However, there were too many big shots in the multiverse. Those records of theirs might be okay if placed in a single universe, but if placed in the multiverse, they were a bit out of the rankings.

If they could possess a complete totem, their strength would increase significantly. By then, hunting Spider-Man would also become easier. Solus, the patriarch of the Morlun family, planned it this way.

Regarding how to control the totem, they of course had their own methods. They knew that the totem would increase in power due to faith power, and the newborn totem would gradually enter the mature stage after absorbing enough power.

However, faith power would also reverse-influence the totem. And if a group could provide enough faith power to a totem, they could borrow this power to reverse-control the totem.

After controlling the totem in the newborn stage and continuously providing faith power, when the totem grew to the mature stage, they could let the totem select believers in the multiverse, and then control these believers through the totem.

This plan was very good, and it was implemented very smoothly at the beginning. The Morlun family had a special talent, which was the ability to absorb the life force of other creatures. This ability had a miraculous effect on Spider-Man, but it could also be used on other creatures, including various Demon Gods.

They definitely couldn't beat Demon Gods at the multiverse level. If they dared to enter the Crimson Dimension, it would be completely sending food. However, members of the Morlun family who could travel freely in the multiverse could still bully the native Demon Gods in a single universe.

Especially those Demon Gods who were not so powerful, or Demon Gods who had just been born, the Morlun family could directly descend on their faces through the portal of the multiverse, and then swarm up, using their talent skill of extracting life force to directly suck the Demon God dry.

If the Kree were called cosmic locusts because of their combat style, then the Morlun family could be called... cosmic mosquitoes.

Although the power one member could absorb was not much, as long as the number of members was enough, they could quickly make the Demon God fall into decline due to loss of power, and then it would be much easier to deal with.

Over the years, the Morlun family had stored quite a bit of energy obtained in this way, and they could convert the energy in their bodies into faith power through prayer, and then send this faith power to the totem.

The members of the Morlun family gathered in this hall at present were all of the more powerful type. They could store more energy, so prayer was also more effective.

In a period of time before, they had injected a lot of energy into the bat totem through prayer. That kind of golden light was about to cover the whole body of the bat. But at this time, Helen self-taught the secret of stealing electricity, and a wave of looting made all the previous efforts of the Morlun family go to waste.

Following closely was Venom, who was equally immoral. Having absorbed Knull's energy and tasted the sweetness, Venom wouldn't hold back. Through various tug-of-war and psychological warfare, he made the members of the Morlun family willingly offer the last trace of power in their bodies.

Until this moment, the Morlun family realized that this might be a trap.

It couldn't be said that they were lax in defense. They built their base very solidly because most wars in the universe were frontal battles. Wars between cosmic Demon Gods were another kind of turn-based system: you hit me, I kick you. The same was true within the multiverse.

The Morlun family had seen too many such wars and of course would pay more attention to hardware protection. It was hard for them to imagine that someone would come directly along the network cable to steal electricity, and it wasn't just one person, but two waves in a row, and it wasn't petty theft, but almost blatant robbery.

The only one in the entire hall who could barely stand was Solus, the father of the Morlun family, standing in the main seat. He hammered the ground hard with his staff and said: "Damn thieves! They not only want to steal our power but also want to steal the entire totem! We can't let them succeed!"

"Check immediately! Where did the faith flow to!" Solus said exasperatedly: "We must take back what belongs to us!"

Those members of the Morlun family lying on the ground climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and then walked staggeringly back to their respective posts.

Venom's last wave of tug-of-war made them exhaust every bit of power in their bodies to compete for the ownership of the totem. Up to now, everyone's body had been hollowed out.

But the work had to continue. The sunk cost was already too great. First, they had a great battle with the bat believers, losing about half of the members. Half of the remaining members had lost all their power. It was unknown how long it would take to accumulate energy to reach their peak again.

If they couldn't take back all the faith power and the totem in one go, then they could truly be called severely injured.

The Morlun family in this state could only choose to go all-in. And once a gambler reached the point of having red eyes from losing, it was hard to expect them to have any reason.

Soon, members of the Morlun family found that energy channel and discovered traces of energy transmission. Solus led the team and came directly to the universe where the culprit was located through the portal of the multiverse.

They had just come out of the portal when they heard a violent explosion, followed by the sound of fighting, and then a roar:

"Ancient One! This is Asgard's family business, do you also want to intervene?!"

Another "bang," a planet was shattered. Solus hurriedly led people to dodge the splashing planet fragments, only to hear another female voice say indifferently:

"No matter what the reason, you cannot fight here. If you have something to say, say it well. A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands..."

Ancient One's voice resounded through the universe. Not long after, a cold laugh filled with evil aura sounded, and the phantom of a demon wrapped in boundless flames appeared. Mephisto said: "Ancient One, you are still so meddlesome..."

Ancient One, who had just said "a gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands," slapped over instantly. Mephisto was not afraid at all, the sky was full of flames, and the momentum was amazing. After a while, a voice full of energy sounded:

"Thor, Loki, don't fight anymore! You are bringing shame to Asgard!"

A raven circled the battlefield, Odin came with lightning, and Frigga followed closely. The Queen of Gods gently persuaded: "Loki, you should take little Helen back to Asgard for a few days. You both should calm down..."

Solus and the members of the Morlun family who had just descended here were confused, not understanding why this single universe was so lively. But Solus still said: "Don't worry about them, just a group of trapped beasts within the universe. Let's go find the landing point of the power quickly..."

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Solus's field of vision. He was physically strong, extremely fast, and wore a red and blue uniform. Solus looked closely, wasn't this the Spider-Man of this universe?

But at this time, this Spider-Man's movements were a bit strange. He held a strange energy core in his hand, which was emitting magical brilliance at this time. Even from a distance, Solus felt the rich magical energy on it.

Then he heard the Spider-Man shout: "Mr. Stark! Your supply energy, remember, the essence of magic is... wishful thinking!"

The energy core flew toward a figure in the battlefield. Instantly, a huge black shadow shrouded the entire universe.

Solus raised his head stiffly. He saw that above the universe, a pair of incomparably huge eyes made of steel were staring at him. ===== CHAPTER 680 =====
