Master of the Marvel Universe

"Let me see who you really are."

Tony planted a foot on Ivan's body and flipped open the thick helmet.

Ivan, his mouth full of blood, seemed to have just recovered from the attack. Then, looking at the enemy before him, he suddenly bared his teeth in a grin filled with endless hatred.

"Stark, your whole family is made up of butchers. You don't deserve everything you have now. Now, it's time for retribution!"

Tony instinctively sensed danger, but the electrically crackling whips in Ivan's hands suddenly wrapped tightly around his armor. The energy core in his chest began flashing urgently.

Chapter 18: Aftermath and Card Draws

Damn! He's going to self-destruct!

That was Tony's first thought.

Then he tore at the whips wrapped around him and activated the thrusters on his feet, carrying Ivan into the sky with him.

Beneath the vast night sky, Tony's armor crackled with electricity, as though it had merged with the starlight.

The scene was filled with the tragic grandeur of a hero sacrificing himself.

Just kidding.

"Saiki."

Shen He called out calmly, then jumped down from the armor and walked back toward the villa without looking back.

With a single teleportation, Saiki Kusuo sliced apart the whips. He glanced at Ivan, already dead from the high-voltage current, then flung him high into the air with telekinesis.

Boom—!

This time, it truly was the fireworks marking the end.

After slaughtering every enemy in the villa, Violet still wandered around with her dagger in hand, searching for enemies who still had a breath left and lay on the ground awaiting death. Then she finished them off one by one.

Most of the surviving nurses had fainted in terror. In the entire villa, only Shiki Ryougi was still sleeping peacefully.

"Stop."

Shen He gave the girl an order.

Violet put away her dagger and sat directly in the sticky pool of blood, her thin lips constantly adjusting her breathing as she recovered her strength.

She was completely drenched in blood. The stench around her was as thick as that of a butcher who had worked in a slaughterhouse for three days and three nights. Shen He stepped over corpses, walked over to her, and picked her up, utterly unconcerned that his clean hands and clothes would be stained with dirty blood.

The villa's water system had been completely destroyed. He found some relatively clean towels in a cabinet and carefully wiped the blood from the girl's hair and face.

Violet merely stared at Shen He with her large blue eyes, faintly puzzled.

She was asking whether there were any more orders.

"It's over."

As if rewarding her, Shen He gently patted Violet's little head.

The girl's body truly relaxed, and she leaned against Shen He's chest like a doll, completely still.

Not long after, Tony returned with Pepper and walked in carrying two bottles of champagne.
