After closing the status panel, he basked in the sun in the garden, narrowed his eyes, and smugly muttered to himself.
"Kryptonian physique really is the best. No need for arduous training—you can crush a whole crowd of superheroes. Any so-called Celestial or god is just worthless trash."
After indulging in his vanity for a while, he began browsing the system store.
He directly ignored things like the cultivation techniques and heavenly flames from certain Qi worlds. As long as it had anything to do with cultivation, he would not even look at it.
Still, he did like the magic blade from a certain world. That thing could slice through space. If it cut people, wouldn't it be like cutting tofu?
Unfortunately, it was far too expensive—it cost a full eighty thousand Justice Points.
"System, you might as well rob me!"
"Sorry, that has nothing to do with me. The system store sets its own prices. You can only blame yourself for being too poor."
"Forget it. You may withdraw."
Although Chen Xi was practically drooling over it, he could not bear to spend eighty thousand on a magic blade meant for ambushes. After all, he was Superman—he fought head-on!!
There were simply too many items in the system store, including famous ones like the Sharingan, Geass Eye, Byakugan, Eye of Insight, and more.
There were even perfect Devil Fruits that were not afraid of seawater or Seastone, though their prices were equally outrageous.
For example, the perfect Goro Goro no Mi was priced at a staggering thirty thousand!
Damn it, they might as well rob him. How much could he earn from painstakingly raising a villain?
After thinking it over, he decided to forget it. With his ninety-percent discount card, he only wanted to save up one million Justice Points as soon as possible. Then he could claim the Silver Superman, normally worth ten million.
Once night fell, Chen Xi finally began hearing the system's notifications without pause, because criminals collectively came out at night.
Gwen, Bo Da, and Bo Er, who had joined his faction, appeared in every corner of New York to uphold justice.
"Received 200 Justice Points."
"Received 500 Justice Points."
"Received 200 Justice Points."
"..."
Just as Chen Xi was reaping rewards without lifting a finger, Gwen, clad in her red-and-white suit, suddenly rushed in with a severe shoulder injury.
Chen Xi, who had been watching television, instantly darkened.
"Who injured you?"
"Two guys called Daredevil and Punisher."
Gwen gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Those two had actually set a trap for her. Innocent Gwen had thought it was a robbery.
But the moment she approached to stop it, the supposed victim suddenly stabbed her in the shoulder!
Even her Spider-Sense had been unable to react.
"How did those two end up together?"
Chen Xi could not figure it out, but he did not care to.
He had never paid much attention to insignificant trash like them. They were only there to pad out Marvel and serve as experience fodder for the protagonists.
Because of his bloody and violent methods, most Marvel superheroes kept their distance from Punisher and did not consider him one of their own.
Only Daredevil Matt Murdock and Deadpool Wade Wilson counted as Punisher's friends among superheroes. The reason was that Punisher and Daredevil were both extremely radical, while Deadpool's style was similar to his.
"New mission—represent justice according to the host's subjective will and punish these two insignificant punks."
"Mission reward: 3,000 Justice Points."
Trash really was trash. The maximum reward was only three thousand Justice Points, which disappointed Chen Xi somewhat.
But they had hurt Gwen. They had truly found their way to death!
Gwen's healing ability was not as monstrous as that of Mutants like Wolverine, but it far surpassed that of ordinary people. Even though the dagger had left a deep wound, it had nearly healed already.
After telling her to clean the wound properly, Chen Xi headed out beneath the moonlight.
"Don't you call yourselves antiheroes? Then I'll show you what a real antihero is!"
The two men, brimming with confidence, still had no idea what kind of existence they had provoked. Even death would be a release for them!
In an underground parking garage somewhere in Hell's Kitchen.
What had once been an empty place was now filled with people coming and going.
The brightly lit underground garage was packed with heavily armed gang members on patrol. Their vigilant appearance made it impossible not to suspect an illegal deal was taking place.
At that moment, Punisher was conducting a disgusting transaction with Kingpin, New York's gang boss.
Punisher—Frank Castle.
He had been a retired Marine captain who became Punisher after his family was murdered by the mob.
Who would have thought that the man who publicly claimed to be taking revenge on all criminal forces, declaring that anyone guilty deserved to die, would have dirty dealings with gang leader Kingpin?
He was a hypocrite through and through, comparable to Yue Buqun.
Everything he did was merely a way to win sympathy from the public.
And Kingpin, a man of formidable means, was his most powerful supporter. The two had hit it off immediately.
Kingpin provided him with money, weapons, and intelligence, while he cleared out gangs that refused to obey Kingpin, all under the banner of cracking down on criminal forces...
It seemed they truly benefited each other. A win-win arrangement had formed, and today they were celebrating and making another deal.
Gwen's appearance had ruined several of Kingpin's contraband transactions, making him swear to kill this suddenly emerged Spider-Woman.
Blocking someone's source of income was like murdering their parents.
How could Kingpin let Gwen, this menace, go? He decisively had Punisher make a move and kill her.
So Punisher immediately contacted his friend, Daredevil Matt, to ambush Gwen.
Daredevil, who had initially refused, fell silent the instant Punisher offered one million dollars.
God! Please forgive me. He offered too much!
Spider-Woman!
Just die already. You deserved to die anyway!
Daredevil was already extremely jealous. He believed Gwen had become far too arrogant lately—not only had she crossed into his territory, she had also stolen all his spotlight.
So, going along with it, the two reached an agreement. Daredevil would disguise himself as a victim to lure Gwen into the trap.
Daredevil had been blinded in an accident as a child, yet gained superpowers as a blessing in disguise. He was perfect for a sneak attack.
They had not killed Spider-Gwen today, but they had seriously wounded her. Next time, they could finish her off!
"Hahaha, come on. Let's drink to killing Spider-Woman in our next cooperation."
Kingpin laughed heartily and raised his glass. Though Daredevil was somewhat reluctant, he could not turn his back on money.
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
"How interesting. I thought Infernal Affairs only forced twists for the sake of twists. Tsk, tsk, tsk... I never expected you people to be so good at playing games. I truly admire you."
In the dim underground parking garage, a black figure slowly walked over while clapping, his mocking voice sounding as though he were watching a group of clowns.
