Chapter 128 Installment Plan, Blood God
Ancient gods?
According to the life level given on the panel, Russell is indeed an Old God now.
Although, he is not 'ancient' at all.
boom! boom! boom!
Russell held down Blood God and slammed him into the ground three more times.
"I'll give you one more chance; rephrase your words."
I don't know if he was woken up by being slammed three more times, or if he was provoked by Russell's murderous voice.
In short, the Blood God realized his predicament—being at the mercy of others—and said in a low voice:
"How do you want to settle the accounts?"
"Last time, when old friends met again after a long separation, we should have burned poems, brewed wine, drunk heartily, and exchanged gifts."
"But Blood God, you attacked me and seriously injured me."
"Shouldn't we provide compensation for emotional distress and medical expenses?"
"Shouldn't we make up for the gifts we owe?"
The Blood God remained silent, his anger rising within him.
He saw everything clearly before his body dissolved, and Russell was completely unharmed.
Conversely, in his last encounter with Russell...
He lost an important avatar, and his successor family was wiped out.
As a result, His dominance over the Blood Dimension has diminished considerably.
He actually demanded compensation from me!
Faced with Russell's preemptive accusation, Blood God decisively chose to swallow his anger.
"Yes."
“Very good.” Russell nodded in satisfaction, releasing the large, pale hand that had been gripping the Blood God. “All in all, about 20 billion units of energy.”
The Blood God remained silent once again.
Seeing this, Russell asked, "What's wrong, Blood God? You can't even produce 20 billion units of energy for such a vast Blood Dimension?"
"Spider-Man the Wizard, you have no idea."
A crimson mist filled the air, and a miniature Blood God clone emerged.
The Blood God, his face drooping, complained to Russell:
"Although I am the lord of the Blood Dimension, the Blood Dimension does not belong entirely to me."
"I only have the right to use most of the energy within the Blood Dimension, but I do not own it."
"once."
Russell interrupted the Blood God's lament and threatened in a cold voice, "So, Blood God, you don't want to pay compensation and are forcing me to directly break through the Blood Dimension and plunder it completely?"
"No, no, no, Spider-Man, you've misunderstood. Please let me explain."
Blood God quickly shook his head.
"What I mean is that my authority in the Blood Dimension is insufficient to pay 20 billion units of energy at once."
"But if my privileges are elevated, then it will be fine."
The Blood God has revealed his true intentions: He wants to drag the other demons of the Blood Dimension down with him!
In a short period of time, he was first tricked by the Ancient One.
Then Russell destroyed one of his important clones, which needs to be repaired.
His personal treasury is now almost empty, and he can only use the public energy of the Blood Dimension to keep it afloat.
However, such a huge loss will incur the wrath of the Blood Dimension, and His authority will be reduced.
If the Blood God doesn't do this, after Russell leaves, he will surely be overthrown by the other demon gods who have joined forces with him.
Russell understood the hidden meaning in the Blood God's words and said with a half-smile:
"The Blood God has a clever plan. But if that's the case, won't I have to pay him my service fee as well?"
"Spider-Man the Mage, Blood Dimension, we really can't squeeze out any more energy," the Blood God complained again.
"Why? Over countless years, the Blood Dimension should have accumulated a lot of energy, right?" Russell wondered.
"Spider-Man, the law of conservation of energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transferred from one object to another."
"I know that, be more specific."
"The Blood Dimension has ways to acquire magical energy, but also ways to consume it."
Simply put, we earn more and we also get more.
“Energy will only remain at a certain level; it won’t be deliberately accumulated.” Russell was speechless.
This is so unmagical!
Adjusting his expression, Russell smiled and said:
"Blood God, it's okay if you can't pay in one go. You can pay in installments."
Yes, installment payment, pay the interest first.
Looking at Russell's smiling face, Blood God suddenly realized something.
It seems He has let a wolf into the house.
But, who can blame Him for not wanting to give up the position of Lord of the Blood Dimension?
We can only hope that Russell will suffer a terrible fate and perish in the future.
Bethesda, a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base.
Nick Fury has been fully resurrected.
The painful memories of the surgery have been overshadowed by the memories of the transplant.
At that moment, he was sitting on the hospital bed, listening to Coulson report on what had happened during this time.
"I can't believe it."
"In the universe, there exists such a brutal force that takes the slaughter of half the life of other civilizations as its guiding principle."
"Even more unbelievable is that Russell actually took the initiative to target the leader of this force and succeeded."
Nick Fury was filled with emotion at that moment.
He still couldn't get over not being more proactive in recruiting Russell back then.
"Coulson, if we had tried just a little harder back then, would we have had a chance to recruit Russell?"
"If Russell joins the Avengers, then the safety of Earth will never be a concern again."
"It's a pity."
"Yes, Chief Fury."
Coulson echoed Nick Fury in a low voice.
He knew that his former boss had just undergone resurrection surgery and was in a vulnerable state both physically and mentally.
Being sentimental is perfectly normal.
"Colson, don't call me Chief anymore."
Nick Fury suddenly corrected Coulson's form of address.
"After a while, I will recommend you to the World Security Council to serve as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Why, Director Fury?" Coulson asked, puzzled. "S.H.I.E.L.D. is facing internal and external troubles right now, and we can't do without you."
"The internal troubles are about Hydra; I will help you with that."
“Perfect timing. Going underground will allow me to better search for Hydra’s trail.”
Well, besides Hydra, Nick Fury also needs to keep a close eye on the Skrulls' movements.
Although he was an ally of the Skrulls, he did not forget to be wary of them.
"As for external threats."
Nick Fury gave Coulson a meaningful look.
"Coulson, as the supernatural world gradually comes to the surface, various countries are establishing their own agencies to handle supernatural matters."
"The authority of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been diluted."
"With the theft of the Tesseract this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. will never regain the trust of the Council again."
"If it weren't for the relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Russell, S.H.I.E.L.D. might have been disbanded by now."
“In the future, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be increasingly marginalized until it becomes a tool for communicating with Russell.”
Coulson remained silent.
This is precisely S.H.I.E.L.D.'s biggest problem right now.
On the one hand, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s authority is being eroded;
On the other hand, the relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Russell is not stable.
Russell simply disliked dealing with official institutions, not that he couldn't.
Russell could even live on a different planet or in a different universe.
Coulson shook his head and smiled wryly:
“Director Fury, if that’s the case, after we take care of Hydra, why don’t we just disband S.H.I.E.L.D. ourselves?”
