Launching

Hearing Whistler's praise, Trask nodded proudly. Everything he produced was always top-notch.

Aside from his particular obsession with Mutants, Trask was quite reliable in other respects.

Then Whistler said excitedly to Andrew, "Boss, send me back to Earth already. I can't wait to kill Vampires. Oh, and I need to save Blade too."

"No rush. You need some training first. As for Blade, he isn't dead."

Andrew snapped his fingers, and a Light Screen appeared. Inside it, Blade hung suspended in midair, covered in wounds and looking utterly miserable.

"Those bastards."

Whistler cursed viciously. Andrew shook his head and said to the Light Screen, "Blade, if you're willing to give me your soul after death, I'll save you. I'll also send a very powerful helper to assist you."

Andrew's voice echoed in Blade's mind. He froze for a moment, then answered decisively, "No problem. As long as I can kill Vampires, I'm willing to pay anything."

Blade was a half-Vampire, and he had a soul within his body.

"The contract is complete. Just wait. You won't regret this deal."

Andrew nodded in satisfaction. Whistler laughed. "Boss, you're losing out this time. Blade is a half-Vampire who can live for centuries. Wait, hold on—could that helper you mentioned be me?"

"You think he's profiting, but you don't realize that a Demon King never loses."

Andrew said, "I don't care about your souls. I only care about one thing: wiping out Vampires. Whistler, this will be your and Blade's shared mission from now on. You will become my emissaries and slaughter every Vampire for me."

Whistler's metal face was full of smiles. "Gladly."

"Very well. Go train and master that mechanical body as soon as possible."

Andrew nodded and headed for Howard's research base. He asked, "Is the Artificial Intelligence still not ready?"

Howard said, "No, but don't worry. I made an ordinary intelligence system. It can control robots to rescue people, so it won't delay your plans."

Andrew said, "That works too. Remember to add a firewall. Don't let anyone hack it. Your son isn't exactly the obedient type."

Howard laughed. "Don't worry. In the Stark family, only fathers beat sons. Sons can't beat fathers."

At night, in a Vampire Settlement in New York, Vampire leader Deacon Frost shouted to the crowd below, "We are the noble blood race. Humans are nothing more than our food. Only the decayed Vampire Council would seek peace with humanity."

"Now, the council has been overthrown by us. Nothing can stop us anymore. I declare that the carnival has officially begun. From this moment on, there are no restraints and no limits. Do whatever you want."

"Vampires above all!"

"Vampires above all!"

Vampires at every settlement throughout New York roared at the same time. Then they rushed out of their settlements and began hunting delicious food, beginning their complete revelry.

Humans were nothing more than their food.

"Let's go to the Altar."

Deacon said to the elite Vampires behind him. They all nodded and followed Deacon by car toward the ancient Altar.

Along the way, a chubby Vampire held up an instrument and said to Deacon, "Someone is following us."

"Everything is within Deacon's expectations."

"Deacon" said disdainfully. His mission, like that of the other Vampires, was to help the real Deacon divert humanity's attention and strength.

Once Deacon became the Blood God, he would lead the blood race to utterly defeat humanity and establish the Vampire Kingdom.

Meanwhile, in the sewers beneath Manhattan, New York, Doctor Lizard, in human form, pointed at the potions in the corner and said to dozens of his kin before him, "Take these potions into the streets and turn Others into our kin."

These dozens of kin were Rat people living in the sewers. They were desperately poor and could only survive underground, in even worse conditions than Homeless People. Doctor Lizard had found them and used potions to turn them into his kin.

"Yes, Chief."

The Lizardmen nodded one after another and left excitedly with the potions. They wanted to build a kingdom of Lizardmen, a kingdom where everyone was equal and no one had any flaws.

Long live the Lizardmen.

After all the Lizardmen had left, Doctor Lizard departed the sewers with a backpack on his back. He was returning to the Osborn Group, where there was a device capable of creating medicinal mist that could blanket the entire city. When the time came, New York City would become Lizard City.

In Hell's Kitchen, Daily Bugle editor-in-chief J. Jonah Jameson roared into the phone, "Peter Parker, are you here yet? Get over here now. I received intel that there'll be big news tonight."

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

Spider-Man shouted as he swung between buildings. He felt deeply frustrated. He was paid like a temp but had to work overtime like a full-time employee. Jameson really was a Vampire.

"Get here now, or I'll fire you."

Jameson hung up in irritation. At that moment, the cameraman beside him pointed toward an alley ahead and shouted, "Chief, something's happening."

Jameson hurriedly Turned Head and saw a man pinning a woman against the wall in the alley. The man then lowered his head toward her neck, seemingly molesting her.

"It's just molestation. That's hardly big news."

Jameson showed little interest. Then the man suddenly raised his head. Under the lights, his mouth was covered in blood, and his two fangs were plainly visible.

"A Vampire! Start the live broadcast!"

Rather than being shocked, Jameson was delighted. He immediately shouted, then spoke into the camera, "This is Daily Bugle. There has been a lot of debate online about Vampires lately. Now, I'll show you whether Vampires really exist."

Jameson signaled for the cameraman to move the camera over. The man was clutching the woman's neck and sucking fiercely. Just as Jameson was about to say something, two people ran toward them in terror. The next second, the Vampire behind them pounced on them, and then two Vampires eagerly began drinking their blood.

The camera captured the scene, leaving viewers in front of their televisions utterly stunned. Was this real, or just a staged program?

At the same time, countless similar attacks erupted across New York City. Many people uploaded videos online and to TikTok. Though viewers did not quite believe them, panic gradually began to spread.

At S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York branch, Iron Man looked at the various horrific scenes on the screens and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Why aren't we acting yet? What are you waiting for?"

"We're waiting for the World Security Council's approval. With our strength, we could have wiped out the Vampires long ago. The reason we haven't acted is because the higher-ups didn't agree."

Coulson looked at Nick Fury, who was currently in a meeting with the council members, and said, "Now, they have no choice but to agree."

Iron Man frowned. "Did you deliberately create the current situation?"
