The Death Knell

Sure enough, it would be easier to negotiate terms when you have hostages in your hands. Deathstroke quickly resolved the misunderstanding with the X-Men, and with their help, persuaded the New Avengers to stop.

"The Inheritors wanted to prey on Spider-Man in every parallel world. We came to save them, but we failed."

Deathstroke handed over several unconscious mutants to Katie, looking at the sky with a sad face, raising his head at a perfect 45-degree angle, as if to prevent tears from falling.

The Phantom Cat has also found Mary Jane, a family member of the victim, and learned most of the ins and outs from her words, at least knowing that Spider-Man died at the hands of Solus.

"How can we avenge him?"

This phantom cat wanted to take revenge on the heir family as soon as he opened his mouth, and judging from the serious expression on his face, he really meant to kill someone, which made Su Ming feel a little strange.

The heroes of the truce all went to collect the corpses of their comrades or rescue people in the ruins. Deathstroke and Katie in this world were sitting on a collapsed billboard. She even lit a cigarette skillfully and smoked.

"We will deal with the Heir family. Your top priority is to protect your own world and do post-disaster rescue and reconstruction. By the way, your teacher is not Charles Xavier, right?"

Katie is now a woman in her thirties, with wavy blonde hair hanging on her shoulders. She looks very mature. After hearing the death knell's question, she smiled and blew out a smoke ring and shook her head:

"That was more than 20 years ago. It was almost done anyway, but I chose Principal Frost's school. Later, due to various things, the school merged and the mutant nation was founded, I changed my mind from Laser. Eyes took over as the leader of the X-Men. By the way, speaking of Emma, ​​is there another her in your world? She is also called the White Queen."

I see. No wonder Su Ming always felt that this phantom cat had completely different thoughts. It seemed that this was also an important point of difference. The story changed. Katie, who grew up with Emma, ​​became... very hot.

"Of course. She and I have a very good relationship. I recently helped them buy an island in the Pacific to establish a country."

To be honest, the White Queen has not been seen since the last time she was seen on the Shi'ar Empire's palace mothership.

Deathstroke's creation of the island to support an independent mutant regime was naturally not out of love, but it had nothing to do with the parallel world characters he met for the first time.

Even so, Katie still smiled, and she patted Deathstroke on the back: "Thank you for your help. Although I don't know those people, we are all mutants, that is, compatriots. We can obtain such a powerful human being like you." Really helpful and I’m happy for them.”

It is easy for the X-Men to understand what parallel universes are, because they all like to cross the timeline. Timeline changes are the main way to cause the emergence of parallel universes.

She looked through the smoke at the ruins of the city, watching the bodies being moved out of their wrecked homes one by one, and watching the armored fire trucks bumping through the damaged streets to put out the fire.

She pursed her lips and her smile disappeared, leaving only worry and pain.

Seeing the woman's expression, Deathstroke patted her shoulder: "You can probably understand now why Spider-Man travels across the multiverse to save people, right? This is also out of feelings for the compatriots and the consequences for the city. Destruction, I’m sorry.”

"I understand that sometimes the battle will always affect ordinary people. We will try our best to avoid this, but the bad guys will not." Katie stretched out her hand to scratch the ends of her hair, and she opened her eyes: "We are fighting with the Avengers on this matter. The United Nations will testify for you and respond to subsequent UN Security Council inquiries, but you have to give me something to report to."

"Naturally, the bodies of the two successors will be handed over to you, and I will also provide an instruction sheet on the existence of the multiverse, but I'm afraid we won't have time to attend your hearing."

Su Ming handed over a worthless corpse and a puddle of meat, and then gave them some multi-dimensional information that they couldn't use at all, an explanatory text that only talked about the concept but not the coordinates.

"I understand, our common enemy has escaped, and you have to chase him." Phantom Cat is very considerate. She is very much like the White Queen, flexible and straightforward: "But about the children left by the old Spider-Man... they are Aren't they out of danger yet? Will those monsters come to prey on them?"

Su Ming nodded immediately, confirming that her suspicion was correct: "They are still the target. It is safer to keep Spider-Man together. I need May Parker and Benji Parker to leave with me."

"Okay, I'm going to talk to American Dream and Little Fury right now. However, you need to speed up the deal we made in the contract and send someone to talk to me. Our utopia lacks all kinds of living supplies. We can take out the bottom of the sea Mineral deposits such as manganese and gold can be exchanged, but I am curious about how to arrange the trading channels?"

Katie jumped off the billboard, patted her butt, raised her head and looked at Deathstroke sitting on it, bathed in sunlight, like a sculpture.

"I'll make the arrangements. You don't have to worry about that. Just collect the mineral resources. My trade representative will be here soon."

The death knell fell slowly, and his cloak fluttered in the wind like a black flag. There was no sound of collision when it landed. He added:

"By the way, this is for you. It can be used for multiple communication. It is also a time and space coordinate, but it may attract the covetousness of the successor. You must keep it well. I will take the first step."

He handed her a spider totem, then waved goodbye and flew towards the Ultimate Spider-Man who was dazed in the ruins.

.....................

The devastated Ultimate Spider-Man and Deathstroke and his team returned to Earth 13. Although they brought back May and Benji, the heavy losses made every Spider-Man who stayed behind look at him differently.

Why?

Because the Ultimate Spider previously only wanted to prevent the successors from collecting all three types of totems, and then planned the action, but now that all three types of totems are controlled by the Spider Web Army, he is at a loss.

Yes, what is the use of the three totems we have collected? This is a problem......

Deathstroke knew what the use was. He only needed to bring these three types of totems to the Web of Life, so that the spider god could be reincarnated into the body of the 'descendant', thereby artificially creating a controlled ancient animal god.

Because Benjie is still a baby, whether it is brainwashing and controlling, or slowly developing, it is easy to handle.

But this is of little use to Deathstroke. His cooperation with the Web of Life is now quite stable. If he had to find a physical body for this concept, it would be easier to use... but not only would he have to practice it again Level', and at the same time, it is easy to be restrained if it has a physical form. There are still too many natural enemies of spiders.

The successors probably wanted to put together the three totems to create the reincarnation of the gods, and then Sorus would swallow the souls and life energy of the ancient gods to gain some concepts and authority.

This is just a possibility, and the greater possibility is that they were used as a weapon by a black hand who likes to issue tasks, and it is 'that one' who wants to devour the Spider God.

It is very consistent with the background story of hundreds of millions of years ago. 'That one' is used to devouring other ancient gods to strengthen himself.

The enemies' diverse ways of traveling, their inexplicable growth in strength, and their snake-like eyes can all be explained.

Of course, without some key evidence in person, these are still speculations. Su Ming is only 80% sure that this is the case, but this probability is enough for him to communicate with Emperor Weishan in advance.

The main thing is to tell Hogs to quickly prepare the side dishes for the 'Dragon-Tiger Fight'.
