Canary Device

It was still Times Square. Because the situation was so serious, the stern-faced Commissioner George Stacy personally led the ESU SWAT Team over to provide support. Under the SWAT Team's fierce firepower, even the Lizardmen had no choice but to dodge in every direction.

Of course, that was also because the Lizardmen had run out of serum. Otherwise, one bottle of serum thrown their way would have wiped out the SWAT Team.

George was directing operations beside a police car when he suddenly heard his daughter's voice. "Dad."

George turned around and saw Gwen running toward him. Both alarmed and furious, he asked, "Gwen, what are you doing here? Leave now."

"Dad."

Gwen rushed to George's side, pulled out a vial of blue serum, and handed it to him. "I have an antidote. It can turn the Lizardmen back into humans."

"Really?"

Overjoyed, George hurriedly took the serum and asked, "How much do you have?"

"Just one vial."

Gwen was a little embarrassed. She had thought Doctor Connors would be the only enemy, so she had only made one vial. "The Osborn Group has the necessary equipment. I can produce a large amount of serum in a short time."

"Also, the Osborn Group has a Canary Device. It can create a medicinal mist that covers the entire city. With it, one vial of serum can turn all the Lizardmen back to normal."

"That's great."

George was overjoyed. He returned the serum to Gwen and said to the SWAT Captain beside him, "Take two men and escort her to the Osborn Group. Use that device to release the medicinal mist."

The SWAT Captain immediately replied, "Yes, sir."

Gwen said, "Dad, the Canary Device can only be used with City Hall's approval. City Hall says that thing is too dangerous."

"Ignore them. Use it immediately. I'll take responsibility for any consequences."

George spoke decisively. He had risen to commissioner through genuine ability and achievement.

"Dad, be careful."

Gwen greatly admired this side of her father. She got into the SWAT Captain's vehicle and headed for the Osborn Group.

As soon as Gwen left, Howard charged out with a group of Robots. When the Lizardmen saw the Black Battle Suit, they thought Iron Man had arrived. They immediately grabbed a nearby sedan and hurled it at Howard.

"This saves me the trouble of provoking them."

Howard chuckled, drew the massive axe from his back, and swung it hard. The sedan split in two and flew off to either side. Then Howard roared and charged at the Lizardmen with thunderous steps.

The Robots did not join the battle. They picked up the injured and poisoned people who had signed Contracts and moved them outside. A man whose body had already begun growing Scales asked unhappily, "Why aren't you saving me?"

"America is a capitalist society. In this society, you must pay a price to obtain anything. That is common sense."

A Robot answered coldly. Then they brought dozens of Contract holders to safety and injected them with the antidote. The Contract holders rapidly returned to normal.

The Contract holders were ecstatic, some even weeping with joy. Though they had no idea what had happened, they were safe.

Rebirth Hell's service had never disappointed anyone.

Similar scenes played out wherever Lizardmen were rampaging. The number of souls possessed by Rebirth Hell rose rapidly.

Meanwhile, at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Branch, Coulson shouted, "Director, we've found Doctor Connors. He's fighting Spider-Man near the Osborn Group."

"Spider-Man? Put the feed on-screen."

Nick Fury was somewhat stunned and hurriedly called out. Soon, the screen showed Spider-Man battling Doctor Lizard. Unlike last time, Spider-Man was clearly at a disadvantage, sent flying again and again by Doctor Lizard.

"Has Doctor Connors gotten bigger?"

Nick Fury asked suspiciously. The last time, Doctor Connors had only been a little over three meters tall, but this time, he was clearly over four meters.

"It seems so. He's gotten stronger."

Coulson nodded grimly. During this period, Doctor Lizard had not only been developing more of his kind, but had also drunk quite a bit of Rat people blood. That had greatly increased his strength.

However, it had not come without a cost. Doctor Lizard's body was gradually transforming into that of a Vampire. Before long, he would completely lose his soul and become a magical creature.

Nick Fury thought for a moment and said, "Doctor Connors's destination should be the Osborn Group. The question is, why is he going there? Find out now."

Coulson quickly flipped through the files. A moment later, his expression changed. "It's the Canary Device. Doctor Connors is after the Canary Device."

After reading the Canary Device's file, Nick Fury's expression changed as well. He hurriedly relayed the news to Iron Man. "You must stop Doctor Connors, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I'm on my way."

Iron Man blasted the Lizardman in front of him away with his Pulse Cannon. Light flared from beneath his feet as he flew rapidly toward the Osborn Group. The Lizardman climbed to his feet and was about to give chase when a group of Robots appeared before him.

The progenitor of the Blood Clan was named Dracula. He was the first Vampire and possessed the absolute conceptual power of Immortality. He had come to North America several centuries ago and left behind a massive Altar.

This Altar was located on the outskirts of New York. At this moment, everyone believed that Deacon Frost, who was supposedly still on the road, was already inside the Altar. At the same time, the twelve pureblood elders and Blade had also been transferred here.

"Those humans watching me must think I'm still traveling, never realizing that the one giving speeches was merely my double."

Deacon Frost sneered. "Would I not know what humans are planning? We want to destroy them, and they want to destroy us. Unfortunately, they have no idea how powerful our Blood Clan truly is. In their eyes, this so-called Blood God is probably just a joke."

Mercury said, "They don't know that the joke in their eyes is enough to destroy humanity."

"Begin. I will sacrifice the twelve pureblood elders, sacrifice Daywalker Blade, and become the greatest Blood God."

Standing in the center of the Altar, Deacon Frost shouted loudly. Mercury nodded with a fanatical expression and bound the twelve pureblood elders to the twelve pillars beside them.

The pureblood elders cursed, "You will get us all killed, Deacon Frost! You will get the entire Blood Clan killed!"

"No, I will make the Blood Clan the rulers of Earth."

Deacon Frost raised his hands high, incomparably excited. At the same time, above the Altar, Daywalker Blade was pushed into a coffin by his mother, Deacon's woman. A great amount of blood poured from the coffin, seeping along the formation's patterns into the Altar below.

The ritual officially began.

Outside the Altar, the Robot Whistler, carrying a box on his back and a silver sword over his shoulder, strode toward the Altar. The guarding Vampires were utterly shocked to see him. "What the hell is this thing?"

"This is a machine of vengeance returned from Hell."

Whistler grinned, raised his left hand, and fired a silver sphere from his palm. The next second, the sphere exploded, and countless flying needles shot out, piercing the bodies of dozens of Vampires.

The Vampires wore disbelieving expressions as they simultaneously turned to ash and scattered.

"High technology. I love this body."

Whistler burst into laughter, kicked open the Altar's doors, and strode inside.
