Judgment

The Blood God Lizard let out a shrill scream. Its wounds could not heal at all, because pitch-black flames were burning across them.

Wang Nanxuan took out a cigar and put it between his lips. Then, he removed it and blew out a ring of smoke. The Black Flame on the Blood God Lizard's wounds whooshed to life, completely engulfing it.

"Wow, this guy is way too cool and badass, isn't he?"

Spider-Man, who was busy dealing with the Lizardmen, could not help shouting. The Blood God Lizard had been too much for all of them together, yet this man had resolved it so effortlessly?

The other superheroes were equally stunned. Clearly, this was a major player.

Tony said unhappily, "Who the hell is this guy? He puts on even more of a show than I do."

The chatty Spider-Man asked, "Mr. Stark, does that mean you usually show off all the time?"

Tony glanced at Spider-Man and said disdainfully, "Stay away from me. You'll lower my class."

Spider-Man looked down at his faded Spider-Man suit, which even had two patches on it, then silently continued fighting the Lizardmen. Judging by their clothes, they clearly were not on the same level.

Seeing Spider-Man's shabby state, Tony felt a little guilty. Of course, apologizing was out of the question. Tony Stark never apologized. He decided to have a few polymer suits custom-made for Spider-Man. New York's friendly neighborhood hero was having an absolutely miserable time.

At that moment, the Blood God Lizard's head broke away from its burning body and fled into the distance. Wang Nanxuan snorted coldly and controlled the chains to seize its head.

Then, Wang Nanxuan grabbed the Blood God Lizard's head and said, "Look into my eyes."

The Blood God Lizard instinctively looked into Wang Nanxuan's flame-filled eyes. The next second, countless evil deeds it had committed surged into its mind.

It was worth mentioning that Deacon himself had no soul, but Doctor Lizard did. After the two fused together, Deacon was dragged into it as well and subjected to the Eye of Judgment.

"I actually did so many terrible things."

Before dying, Doctor Connors regained his clarity. Filled with regret, he chose release. Deacon, however, roared unwillingly, "I did nothing wrong! I am the supreme god! Who dares judge me?"

No matter how loudly Deacon shouted, it was useless. His sins transformed into Hellfire, burning both him and Doctor Connors' consciousnesses into nothingness.

Deacon died. Doctor Connors died.

Wang Nanxuan nodded in satisfaction and was about to withdraw his power when a figure brimming with the aura of blood appeared within the lizard's head. The figure roared, "You dare ruin my plans? Do you know who I am?"

The newcomer was none other than the Vampire Progenitor, Dracula. He had deliberately arranged this Blood God scheme, yet it had been destroyed by someone else before it had even truly begun. Furious, he had descended personally to teach the other party a lesson.

"Who you are isn't important. What matters is whether you know who I am."

Wang Nanxuan sneered. At the same time, within Dracula's consciousness, Wang Nanxuan's body expanded without limit, like a giant that held up the heavens and stood upon the earth. Dracula was merely a tiny ant beneath the giant's foot.

Dracula froze completely. He cursed wildly in his heart, A Demon King? This is a Demon King! How did that bastard provoke a Demon King?

"Lord Demon King, forgive my disturbance. I'm sorry. I'll get lost immediately."

Without the slightest hesitation, Dracula immediately erased this strand of consciousness. Wang Nanxuan snorted. At least you're decisive. Otherwise, I would have followed that consciousness and blown your real body apart.

Meanwhile, the Blood God Lizard's body was completely burned into nothingness by Hellfire. Wang Nanxuan tossed the lizard head to Blade and said, "There's Dracula's Origin Blood in there. Decide for yourself whether you want it. Don't worry, I've completely erased his consciousness."

"Dracula's Origin Blood?"

Blade was overjoyed and immediately accepted the lizard head. This thing could help him kill more Vampires.

Wang Nanxuan swept his gaze over the crowd. Without greeting anyone, he got onto his Harley motorcycle and left. He planned to take Susan for a ride and let her experience racing across land and water.

As they watched Wang Nanxuan's departing figure, everyone wore different expressions—reverence, gratitude, and wariness.

"Ghost Rider is even stronger than we imagined. If he suddenly turns evil, who will deal with him?"

Nick Fury, a veteran paranoid, had a flash in his eyes. He shouted to everyone, "All right, Deacon Frost is dead. Put some effort into taking care of the remaining Lizardmen and Vampires. Let's bring this damned night to a complete end."

"It's time to end it."

Tony nodded. Just as he was about to act, he noticed the Black Battle Suit and those robots retreating. He could not help asking, "Who exactly are you people? And why do you know about my father?"

"When you're not so useless, I'll tell you who I am. Oh, and remember to get a physical. You're nearly forty and don't even have a child. Howard is very angry down there."

Howard shouted this and vanished into the distance with the robots.

"What does whether I have children have to do with you? And I'm perfectly normal."

Tony was so angry his nose nearly twisted out of shape, especially when everyone else looked at him suspiciously. Come to think of it, there had never been rumors of Tony having an illegitimate child, had there? Could it be...

Nick Fury shouted unhappily, "Get back to work."

Everyone shrugged and sped up their cleanup of the Lizardmen and Vampires. At that moment, a blue cloud suddenly blossomed in the sky. Immediately afterward, the blue mist rapidly spread across all of New York.

The moment they came into contact with the blue mist, the Lizardmen fell to the ground in pain. Then, their lizard bodies faded away as they gradually reverted to normal humans.

Clearly, the blue mist was the antidote—while they had been fighting, Gwen had recreated the antidote and released it through the equipment.

With the Lizardmen gone, the remaining Vampires were nothing worth mentioning. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Tony said, "That girl is pretty good—calm and decisive. I'm going to invite her to work for Stark Industries."

Whistler said disdainfully, "Have some decency. Stop ruining that young girl's life."

Tony snapped, "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Everyone answered in unison, "Yes!"

This time, Tony's nose really twisted out of shape from anger. He stormed off to deal with the other Vampires.

Whistler and Blade were also preparing to leave when Barton stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, S.H.I.E.L.D. would like to invite you to join our team."

"I've fought Vampires for most of my life. Do you know why I've survived until now?"

Whistler looked at Barton and cursed, "Because I never work with idiots. Your S.H.I.E.L.D. is the idiot among idiots."

Barton was somewhat embarrassed and wanted to explain, but Whistler flew away with Blade using his one arm.

Nick Fury hesitated for a moment but did not order anyone to track Whistler and Blade. He shouted, "Before dawn, wipe out every Vampire in New York City."

"Yes, Director."

The agents answered loudly. At that moment, the death knell for North American Vampires officially rang.

On the rooftop of Osborn Building, Gwen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the equipment successfully release the antidote. Just then, she felt something bite her neck. She swatted at it with her hand, but hit nothing.

Gwen did not think much of it. She only hoped everything would settle down soon, since she also bore part of the responsibility for the Lizard Potion incident.
