My Heart Was Already Filled with Greed.

"There is no life within nothingness..."

"Only death..."

A deep, hoarse voice echoed in this world.

In a thick, inky darkness, time and space seemed to have lost their meaning.

The figure, originally clad in yellow battle armor, had now turned a blinding red, and his once dazzling golden hair had been subtly tinged with deep black, while a chilling white light shone in his eyes.

"Now, let me have some fun!"

A tyrannical and insane smile appeared on Void's face.

"Damn it, Tongtiandai!"

No sooner had Kino finished speaking than the ethereal figure vanished from his sight.

Kino instantly activated Speed Force mode, and time seemed to be paused, freezing everything in place.

Just as Kino was about to search for the elusive figure in this frozen space-time, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his back, as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he was sent flying uncontrollably.

"No matter how fast you go, can you outrun time?"

The Void let out a strange laugh, then vanished again, appearing in Kino's flight path, and slammed its hands together down.

With a deafening roar, Kino's figure, like a cannonball, smashed into several planets with tremendous force, stirring up a cloud of cosmic dust.

At the same time

Real Earth.

All combat forces have gone to the Mirror Earth, leaving it seemingly empty like never before.

The people of this world are unaware of the situation regarding the Mirror Earth.

The sky was covered with dark clouds.

"The Earth is mine now."

A flaming skull appeared here; it was Dormammu.

According to the deal with them.

They will provide an army to hold off the demon king and his minions, including the Sorcerer Supreme.

He offered to provide the Dark Dimension and contact Shuma Golas to attack the Demon King, but how could that be possible?

He had long prepared a passage to Earth, but it remained hidden and unused because Earth was protected by the Sorcerer Supreme.

As for sharing the Earth with Shuma Golas, how could that be? The Earth can only belong to me.

"Begin invading this world."

At Dormammu's command, countless demons surged forth from the passage behind him like a tidal wave, blotting out the sky and crashing towards Earth.

The streets were instantly filled with terrified screams as people scattered and fled in chaos, fear spreading rapidly through the crowd.

The Demon Group.

The current manager is Pierce.

"It's finally here."

The door was pushed open, and Otto walked in carrying four boxes.

"What you requested is ready."

Otto's voice sounded tired.

"However, due to the materials used, these are all disposable, and even their usage time is limited."

That's enough.

Pierce opened several boxes, which were filled with green, yellow, orange, and red rings, each radiating a mysterious light.

One of the orange rings lit up and automatically slipped onto Pierce's hand, creating an orange protective shield around his body.

Is greed the right thing for me?

"Of all the rings, the Orange Lamp has the most severe side effects. We've reduced the side effects of the other rings to some extent, but there's not much we can do about the Orange Lamp."

Otto's hand clenched slightly in his pocket, his fingers pinching a small button—a backup plan he had laid for the Orange Lantern Ring.

Pierce stared at the ring in the box, as if he saw endless power and wealth.

"With these, I can control all of humanity, this solar system, and even this world..."

Otto listened to his words, his finger had already quietly pressed the button.

With just a gentle press, this ring, imbued with the power of greed, would explode instantly.

Suddenly, Pierce raised his hand and slapped himself hard, so hard that blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Otto."

Pierce remained calm, as if his actions had not come from him.

"You will remain with the Demon Group; leave the outside matters to Hydra."

Pierce closed the boxes, steadily lifted the four boxes with both hands, and strode towards the door.

"How did you suppress the greed in your heart?"

Otto asked curiously.

He experimented with prisoners, offering them freedom as long as they could endure the hardship, even with generous rewards, but it was all in vain; they only wanted more.

All users were instantly controlled by greed, making it impossible for them to fake it.

This greed stems from the depths of their souls, an endless desire for everything.

Even if you remove it, it's useless; it's a thousand times more addictive than drugs.

"I couldn't resist; I just let my greed take over. Only by following the leader could I get more."

Pierce tilted his head slightly, a glint of orange light flashing in his eyes.

Pierce thought about how he had witnessed the vastness and wonder of other worlds while following the leader.

How could a mere world possibly satisfy his current desires?

Rather than trying to keep these rings to yourself, it's better to follow the leader closely. In the future, life, power, and countless worlds will all be in your hands, and it will be much easier.

Everyone who joins the Demon Group shares a common understanding: their leader is notoriously generous, readily granting control of an entire Earth.

Therefore, he never thought of suppressing his inner greed; at this moment, his heart was filled with unprecedented desires.

Dr. Otto's pupils contracted as he looked behind Pierce.

At this moment, a faint, ethereal shadow appeared behind him, a manifestation of his inner greed.

"Here, take this."

"You can control it, but others may not. Pressing this button on the Orange Ring holder will cause the ring to explode."

He tossed the button in his hand to Pierce, Pierce back view seemed to come alive, gently catching it and then putting it into Pierce's pocket.

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Otto."

Pierce smiled slightly, tacitly agreeing not to ask why this was the case.

Moreover, having an additional weakness allows him to better control his inner greed.

Arrive at the Demon Group's permanent Hell Portal.

The once empty space was now filled with a dense crowd of people.

He was wearing a black uniform with a red devil symbol on his chest.

Some are Mutants Earth, and some are Hydra members.

Everyone waited in silence.

"Everyone, this world is in crisis. Our leader is leading the others in another battle, so only we can save the world."

"Dedicate your strength to the great leader! New Hydra!"

Pierce's words drew fervent glances from everyone.

"For our great leader, we are willing to give our lives!"

Everyone raised their right hands in unison, letting out a deafening shout filled with loyalty and determination.

These are all New Hydra Hydra, who are absolutely loyal to the Demon King. However, because the brutal brainwashing methods of the past can no longer be used, their numbers are somewhat small.

Pierce opened four boxes, and countless streams of light flew out, landing on the fingers of each person, and energy shields of different colors appeared on their bodies.

"Now, all of you, move out! Tell those scum who owns this place, then crush them, tear them apart, and devour them completely!!!"

Pierce's roar echoed throughout the basement.

The orange light in his hand shone brightly.

The shadowy figure behind them became clearer, resembling a giant octopus.

"Yes, tear them to shreds!"

Everyone stared at the monster behind Pierce, not with fear, but with fanaticism. Only such a powerful being was worthy of being their leader.
