[Chat Group For The Death] Chapter 296 - 300

Chapter 296: Let me help him get rid of it!

Howard Stark said in amazement: "The members of the Mutant Academy were killed by Charles when he was sick? No wonder only Logan survived."

Sebastian Shaw: "That's not right! Although Wolverine's self-healing factor can make him recover from his injuries, he shouldn't be able to recover from mental trauma, right?"

Lucas: "Yes, perhaps not. Maybe Wolverine wasn't there when Professor Charles had his episode."

Sebastian Shaw: "I think it's very possible that he simply wasn't there. Otherwise, even if he could physically recover, he would inevitably end up with amnesia."

Uchiha Madara: "I've also received a new task. The name of the world I'm to enter is 'Underworld 2'. Group Leader, this world shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Lucas: "This world? Yes, it fits the characteristics of your Uchiha family. Go in—that world should interest you."

Uchiha Madara said, stunned: "It fits the characteristics of our Uchiha clan? It interests me? Group Leader, I don't understand what you mean."

Lucas: "Madara, don't you believe in bloodlines? The world of Underworld is a bloodline world. Aren't you interested in such a world?"

Uchiha Madara laughed: "Then I'll have to see it for myself."

A video window opened on the screen of the chat room. Uchiha Madara entered the world of Underworld, and as soon as he arrived, he witnessed two groups of creatures fighting.

One group consisted of giant wolves standing upright like men, and the other was composed of bat-like men with fangs. The two sides were constantly fighting with both melee and ranged weapons.

Hongyun said, stunned: "Monsters? These monsters' strength is too weak!"

Howard Stark: "Not monsters! They are dark creatures from Western legends—vampires and werewolves. Legend has it that they are mortal enemies, and it seems that's true in this world."

Uchiha Madara: "I feel like they're quite average. Let me test their power."

As soon as he finished speaking, Madara rushed instantly onto the battlefield, immediately intervening in the conflict between vampires and werewolves.

A bullet hit Uchiha Madara, but his face remained unchanged. Light blue energy emerged on his body, and Susanoo, flame-like in appearance, blocked all incoming bullets.

At the same time, two sharp long knives appeared in Uchiha Madara's hands, and he slashed toward vampires and werewolves with excitement. The Rinnegan swirled in his eyes, giving him powerful dynamic vision.

Puff! Puff!

With his long knives, the vampire and werewolf were quickly cut down by Uchiha Madara. However, their flesh and blood were wriggling, and their wounds began recovering quickly.

Uchiha Madara raised the two knives in his hands with great interest and continued to attack the severely injured vampires and werewolves until he had killed them completely.

Uchiha Madara commented in the chat group: "Vampires' melee capabilities are not as good as werewolves, and their recovery capabilities are far inferior to each other. However, they have intelligence and can use modern weapons."

Uchiha Madara: "Werewolves don't seem to be fully sentient, but they have a beast-like fighting instinct and are extremely difficult to deal with in close combat. Unfortunately, they cannot use weapons because they only rely on instinct to fight, which is a huge disadvantage."

Uchiha Madara: "As for their recovery ability, it feels somewhat similar to Hashirama's. However, in terms of recovery effectiveness, it's much inferior to Hashirama's. If this is the case, neither of these groups should be a threat."

Howard Stark: "If you get the chance, you can try silver against werewolves, and sunlight and garlic against vampires. These things are said to counteract their powers and kill these supposedly immortal creatures."

Uchiha Madara snorted coldly: "There is no absolute immortality. My power is enough to overwhelm their recovery abilities. Group Leader, do you know where the first generation of vampires and the first generation of werewolves are? My task is to destroy them."

Lucas: "Why don't you use your Rinnegan to check the memories of these vampires and werewolves? Don't expect me to help you with every problem!"

Uchiha Madara laughed: "Good idea! These vampires and werewolves haven't been dead too long, so their memories should still be intact."

Uchiha Madara walked over to the vampires and werewolves, opened their eyes with his fingers, and used the Rinnegan's power to invade their minds.

After a while, Uchiha Madara said, "There aren't many valuable clues in their memories. They're ordinary members of the vampire clan and werewolf clan, so they don't have access to high-level information."

Howard Stark said with a smile: "Let's hear what information these low-level members do have."

Uchiha Madara: "They only know that vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies. The leader of the werewolves is called Lucien, and the leader of the vampires is called Victor. It seems that these two are the ones I need to eliminate."

Lucas: "You're wrong. Those two aren't the first generation of vampires and werewolves. The first vampire is named Markus, and he's one of the three elders of the vampire family. His information should be in the vampire's memory."

Uchiha Madara: "The first vampire was Markus? Impossible! The older vampires are, the stronger they become. How could the first generation vampire be overthrown by others? The vampire's memory shows Markus as a loser in the vampire power struggle."

Lucas: "Markus is indeed the first vampire, and although his strength is the greatest among vampires, he lacks the support of loyal followers. How can he maintain power without strong supporters? His strength alone isn't enough to control the entire vampire clan."

Uchiha Madara: "Really? Then he truly did fail. Let me help him get rid of this problem!"

Chapter 297: This is such a tragedy!

Uchiha Madara: "I now know the identity of the first vampire, but who is the first werewolf? The situation in this world is complicated, and it might take me a lot of time to investigate on my own."

Lucas: "Alright! I'll do you a favor and save you from going in circles. The first werewolf is Markus's brother—William. The two brothers are the ancestors of vampires and werewolves."

Howard Stark said in amazement: "What? Two races that have been mortal enemies for generations, and their ancestors turned out to be brothers? Unbelievable!"

Whitebeard: "Gurararara! No wonder the Group Leader said this world is very similar to the Ninja world! The Senju family and the Uchiha family, who have been hostile to each other for generations, are also descended from brothers!"

Sword God Ryuma: "Since the ancestors of the vampire clan and the werewolf clan are brothers, who are their parents? Referring to the situation in the Ninja world, wouldn't this world also have a similar existence to the Sage of Six Paths?"

Lucas: "Yes, there is indeed a Sage of Six Paths-like figure in this world. His name is Alexander Corvinus, the father of Markus and William. He was a lord many years ago when a sudden plague changed his bloodline."

Lucas: "In short, his physical constitution became extraordinarily strong—not only could he be immune to various diseases, but his lifespan was greatly extended. Not only that, his enhanced blood was also passed on to his children."

Lucas: "The eldest son, Markus, was bitten by a bat after inheriting Alexander's blood and became the first vampire. The second son, William, was bitten by a wolf and became the first werewolf."

Senju Hashirama: "Then the two brothers fought each other for supremacy? It's so tragic."

Uchiha Madara: "Indeed! They fought for power, and in the end, everything fell into the hands of outsiders. They're not the leaders of the vampires and werewolves, just like how Konoha Village finally fell into Sarutobi's hands."

Lucas: "You've guessed wrong. Markus and William did not compete for power. Although William was the first werewolf, he wasn't a rational one. When his bloodline changed, his rationality disappeared."

Lucas: "He madly attacked all living creatures, and those injured by him eventually became werewolves. Fearing that the whole world would be destroyed by his younger brother, Markus reluctantly sought cooperation with a warlord of that time."

Lucas: "Victor! Victor, the current leader of the vampire clan, was a powerful warlord many years ago. Markus worked with him, turning him and his subordinates into vampires, and then used their advanced weapons and combat experience to subdue the unintelligent werewolves."

Lucas: "After a difficult battle, the werewolves that once ravaged the land were defeated, and even William himself was captured and locked away in a secret place. But Markus also lost his power among the vampires. After all, those vampires were originally Victor's men."

Han Fei: "Was he too trusting? Couldn't he have recruited multiple warlords to become vampires and used them to check and balance each other, thereby maintaining his own power?"

Lucas: "Markus did exactly that. Along with Markus and Victor, Amelia—known as one of the three elders of the vampire clan—was the second warlord that Markus recruited. However, unfortunately, Markus's plan failed."

Lucas: "Not only did Victor and Amelia not fight each other to his advantage, they teamed up to push him out of the center of power."

Han Fei said speechlessly, "How could this happen?"

Lucas: "The reason is simple—Markus is the first vampire and the strongest vampire. Both Victor and Amelia feared his strength. If Markus remained in power, they would have had a difficult time."

Han Fei: "If that's the case, then there was no hope for Markus. The cooperation between warlords guaranteed their rights, but fighting each other might have put them at risk. Markus didn't continue recruiting warlords to join his side, and it's clear why when you think about it."

Lucas: "Madara, do you know what to do next?"

Uchiha Madara: "Of course. I'm going to the vampire clan now to cause trouble. Markus himself is among the vampires, and the first werewolf is imprisoned by the vampire clan. As long as I go there to check their memories, nothing can be hidden from me."

Lucas: "Yes, that is indeed a simple and direct solution to the problem."

Sebastian Shaw: "I've also figured out the situation on my side. Wolverine actually has a daughter. Of course, he didn't father her naturally—she was created using his genes."

Howard Stark: "What happened?"

Sebastian Shaw: "After I gained Wolverine's trust, I met Charles with him. Then a woman contacted us and entrusted us with a young girl named Laura."

Howard Stark: "How did you get Wolverine to trust you?"

Sebastian Shaw: "It was simple—I just needed to demonstrate my mutant abilities. Mutants are in a difficult situation now, so they're quite welcoming to their own kind. What's more, I helped him solve a problem, so why wouldn't he trust me?"

Howard Stark asked curiously, "What problem did you solve for him?"

Sebastian Shaw: "Money! It's hard for him to get money in his current state, and getting money is easy for me, isn't it?"

Chapter 298: Watch my show!

Howard Stark said speechlessly: "Damn it! You didn't resort to robbery, did you?"

Sebastian Shaw said naturally: "Is there anything wrong with that? Anyway, these are just virtual beings. This isn't the real world, just a virtual world created by the Traverser Space to imitate reality."

Howard Stark said speechlessly: "What you said is very reasonable. I have no response to that."

Sebastian Shaw: "Through Logan's daughter, I already know the whereabouts of the new mutants. Next, I just need to find them, follow the clues, and force the hidden masterminds to reveal themselves."

Sebastian Shaw: "Those fools have forgotten the terror of real mutants. Let me help them remember! The mutants they're about to face are completely different from the weaklings they've encountered before."

Outside the chat group...

Lucas looked at the friends and relatives of the chat group members gathered before him and asked them to draw lots to decide who would become Traversers first. Soon Tony Stark, Hatake Kakashi, Tony Stark, Dongfang Yuechu, Tsunade, and Tian Lai Xianzi were selected.

"I'm so unlucky! How is this possible?" Rin Tohsaka whimpered, staring at the lottery results with a frantic expression before looking pitifully at Lucas beside her.

Lucas shrugged with a smile, shook his head and said, "I only have ten Traverser Seals. If you want to blame something, blame your bad luck! Originally there were only five spots, but this one became available after Senju Hashirama contribution."

Tohsaka Rin said in distress: "So we just stay here? Isn't that boring? Cultivation is such a tedious process—it makes people irritable after a long time. No wonder practitioners experience inner demons. Being bored for extended periods would make anyone feel unwell!"

Tohsaka Rin complained: "Especially those old masters who have been practicing for many years—they can't see results after practicing for so long. It's completely normal for inner demons to appear."

Lucas angrily ruffled her hair into a mess, "You talk too much!"

Holding down Tohsaka Rin, who was now gritting her teeth and flailing in protest, Lucas addressed everyone who had obtained the Traverser Seals: "Use your soul to fuse with it. That's how you activate the Traverser Seal."

Back in the chat group...

Sebastian Shaw: "Group Leader, the forces seeking to arrest the mutants have arrived. The new generation mutants are quite powerful—they used their abilities to escape the company's control."

Lucas: "Did you engage them?"

Sebastian Shaw: "I'm about to. After all, there aren't many mutants who can fight effectively. I just wanted to ask—these enemies shouldn't be very strong, right?"

Lucas said with a smile: "Don't worry, their strength is very average. Even without your help, the old wolf and young wolf could handle them. Of course, without assistance, the old Logan would likely die in the process."

Howard Stark said, stunned: "No way? Shaw, are you actually worried the enemy might be too strong? Your ability is practically cheating—how could any normal human without mental powers defeat you?"

Sebastian Shaw: "Of course I'm not worried about myself. I'm concerned about having enough time to protect Logan and the others. After all, my mission isn't to destroy the enemy but to protect these mutants."

Lucas: "Then you need to be especially careful with Wolverine. He's probably already dying. Of course, that's what happens in the future. Professor Charles isn't dead yet, right?"

Sebastian Shaw: "Although I'd really like to kill him, he's still stubbornly alive. But there might be something wrong with his memory—he doesn't recognize me anymore."

Lucas: "Many years have passed, so it's normal for your appearance to be blurred in his mind. What's more, he has Alzheimer's, making his memories of the past even hazier. But as long as Professor Charles remains alive, Wolverine won't die in the near term."

Sebastian Shaw: "I understand! Professor Charles is Wolverine's reason to live—he's the only person from his generation that Logan has left. If Professor Charles dies too, then Logan would have no familiar connections left in this era."

Lucas: "Yes, that's one of the reasons why Wolverine met his end in the original future."

Sebastian Shaw: "Alright, now watch my performance!"

In the world of ‘Logan’, Sebastian Shaw walked confidently toward the mercenaries with a smile, positioning himself as a barrier between them and Wolverine's group.

"Who are you?"

"To actually side with mutants—you're degrading yourself!"

"It doesn't matter. Come on, let's take him out too!"

The company director looked at Sebastian Shaw, spoke a few dismissive words, and then waved his hand to order his men to deal with Sebastian Shaw.

Howard Stark said angrily in the chat group: "Is this guy really so arrogant? If he justifies executing mutants because the country doesn't recognize them as citizens, then what gives him the right to casually decide Sebastian Shaw's fate? What's going on here?"

Howard Stark: "Judging from his words, he's treating Sebastian as an ordinary person. What authority does he have to arbitrarily determine the life or death of an ordinary citizen?"

Sebastian Shaw disdainfully said: "That's how it is! This is a world ruled by money and power, so such behavior isn't surprising. What's more, their mutant experiments are conducted in secret, and killing people is standard procedure for them."

Outside the chat group...

Following the company director's order, the mercenaries simultaneously drew their weapons, aiming a dense wall of gun barrels at Sebastian Shaw.

"This isn't very entertaining!"

Sebastian Shaw shrugged and instantly charged forward, appearing beside the mercenaries in a flash. His palms tore through them like blades.

Sebastian Shaw's ability wasn't limited to absorbing and releasing energy—the absorbed energy could enhance his physical capabilities, giving him terrifying close-combat prowess.

Roar!

Just as Sebastian was decimating the mercenaries, a beast-like roar suddenly erupted. A middle-aged man who closely resembled Wolverine rushed out and attacked Sebastian Shaw.

"It seems you're a clone of Wolverine. Not bad!"

"Wolverine's abilities are perfectly replicated, and your combat experience is decent."

"It's a shame you're somewhat less rational, but you're strong enough."

"What a pity! Even Wolverine at his peak would have no advantage against me."

Sebastian Shaw observed the Wolverine replica with an amused expression. He casually absorbed the clone's attack with his palm, then completely destroyed it with a powerful energy release.

Chapter 299: Uchiha Itachi gave him a thumbs up!

Sebastian Shaw sighed in the chat group: "It's unbelievable that such a weak force could actually defeat the mutants."

Dongfang Yuechu: "It's easy to hide with a bright spear, but hard to defend against a dark arrow!"

Howard Stark: "They use genetically modified food to attack mutants, and this hidden assault is more powerful than the Sentinel robots. At least the Sentinel robots can be guarded against, but there's no defense against the flood of genetically modified food."

Sebastian Shaw: "Indeed! Sentinel robots are visible enemies. Although they're powerful, mutants aren't without the strength to contend with them."

Sebastian Shaw: "A mutant at Apocalypse's level would definitely not be defeated by Sentinel robots. Someone with powerful abilities like me can also compete with them. Even Charles, when being ruthless and controlling high-level humans, can defeat Sentinel robots..."

Sebastian Shaw: "But the attack of genetically modified food is truly terrifying. This kind of attack is silent. Even those mutants with degraded abilities don't realize what kind of attack they've encountered."

Lucas: "The real harm of genetically modified food to mutants is that it kills them at the root. Mutants are transformed from ordinary people, and many regular humans have hidden X-genes in their bodies, which is why mutants are difficult to eradicate."

Lucas: "But as long as genetically modified food spreads worldwide, those ordinary people with the potential to become mutants will never transform. Even if they don't target existing mutants directly, after the current mutants die of old age, no new mutants will ever appear."

Sebastian Shaw: "I once tried to use nuclear war to stimulate the large-scale emergence of mutants, but was stopped by Charles and Erik. Our idea was the same—to control the number of mutants from the root."

Sebastian Shaw: "Unfortunately, this is just a virtual world created by the Traverser Space. Otherwise, I'd really want to remake this place. @Uchiha Madara, how is your mission progressing?"

Uchiha Madara: "Very smoothly! I've successfully found Markus and eliminated the first generation of vampires. Not only that, I also controlled Victor and checked his memory with my Rinnegan."

Uchiha Madara: "I've figured out the location of the first werewolf, and will be able to destroy him soon. But there's one thing I don't understand—why did the Group Leader say this world fits the characteristics of the Uchiha clan?"

Lucas: "Markus is a true brother complex! In the original future, he even killed his own father to save his younger brother."

Uchiha Shisui: "How could this be?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "That settles it—Uchiha Itachi would give him a thumbs up."

Uchiha Madara: "It's truly touching brotherhood. I'm a little reluctant to deal with them. But unfortunately, they're just virtual characters, and the Traverser Space was created for me to complete my task."

Lucas: "Tony Stark has entered the mission world. Would you like to take a look? It's a pity he can't speak in the chat group, otherwise it would be even more interesting."

Howard Stark was surprised: "Did Tony enter the mission space so quickly? As expected of my son—he's indeed very talented. Group Leader, can you open a live broadcast window showing him?"

A video window displaying Tony Stark's location appeared in the chat group. Tony had materialized on a bustling city street.

"The familiar world—isn't this the Earth where I'm from?"

Tony Stark looked at the busy street before him, with skyscrapers lining both sides. The text and images displayed on the buildings were also familiar to him.

"Jarvis!"

Tony Stark, who had created artificial intelligence in advance, raised his wrist, which was adorned with a watch-type computer made with advanced technology. Wisps of red light appeared on its surface.

Tony Stark ordered: "Invade the computer network of this world. I want to know its basic information."

Jarvis quickly compiled the basic information about this world. After reviewing it, Tony Stark discovered that this world was indeed somewhat similar to his original world.

"If my world didn't have mutants, powers, superheroes, or supervillains, it would be exactly like this one. This world doesn't have the great Tony Stark—and that's a huge loss for it."

Tony Stark said to himself narcissistically, "Now Tony Stark has arrived. I just don't know if the world is ready— Tony Stark will bring great changes."

Sword God Ryuma said speechlessly in the chat group: "Howard Stark, your son is really just like you. This kind of shameless narcissism clearly runs in the family."

Howard Stark said without embarrassment: "It's normal for young, promising geniuses like us to be a little narcissistic."

Senju Hashirama: "What is your son's mission? He doesn't seem to be in a hurry!"

Howard Stark: "Look! Tony likes to mess around, but he knows his priorities. If it were urgent, he wouldn't waste time."

At that moment, Tony Stark in the virtual world gave Jarvis another command: "Conduct a careful search—is there anything called 'Transformers' in this world?"

Jarvis responded quickly: "No relevant information found."

Tony Stark frowned and said: "That can't be right! The mission given to me by the Traverser Space is to hunt down powerful Transformers. How can there be no information about them? I understand—this must be classified information. Invade some high-security facilities and search again."

Chapter 300: This thing is amazing!

In the chat group, Howard Stark looked at the intelligence Tony had gathered, and he was visibly disturbed.

Sebastian Shaw said speechlessly: "No way? Human technology in the Transformers world is copied from alien robots? This is utter contempt for human scientists!"

Howard Stark said angrily: "Exactly! Are all human scientists considered worthless? Or are just the scientists in the Transformers world incompetent? Modern human technology relying on the study of alien robots? That's absolute nonsense!"

Lucas: "You may think it's nonsense, but this is the reality of the Transformers world. The alien forces and Celestials in your world would seem just as incredible to Earthlings in other worlds."

Howard Stark: "What's the origin of these alien robots? They must possess highly advanced technology! Just the corpse of a single alien robot can advance human science and technology so significantly."

Lucas: "To a certain extent, these alien robots are indeed highly technological. However, they don't have an overwhelming advantage against Earth's forces in this world."

Howard Stark asked with interest: "Is that because humans studied their corpses?"

Lucas: "That's a very important factor! If humans hadn't obtained the corpses of alien robots, technology wouldn't have advanced to its current level, and they naturally wouldn't have the confidence to fight against aliens."

Howard Stark: "I don't agree with the Group Leader's statement. Don't underestimate humans. The scientists in our world never obtained alien robot corpses, yet haven't they still researched everything that needed to be researched?"

Sebastian Shaw smiled and said: "Although the Earth of the Transformers world is very similar to our Earth, they're not exactly the same. Perhaps scientists in that world don't have the capability to independently develop these technologies."

Howard Stark: "Alright! I admit you're right—different worlds' Earths cannot be directly compared. But even if humans study the corpses of alien robots, surely their technological level wouldn't match that of the aliens themselves?"

Lucas: "Of course, alien robots still maintain advantages in certain aspects. But in an actual conflict, humans would have the strength to fight back."

Pirate King Roger suddenly asked with great interest: "What do these alien robots eat and drink? Do they poop and pee?"

Golden Lion Shiki said speechlessly, "Roger, you truly never disappoint! The angle of your thinking remains as unique as ever."

Whitebeard laughed: "Gurararara! Roger has always been interested in these kinds of strange questions—it's not surprising that he would ask something like this."

Howard Stark: "Although my motivation differs from Roger's, I'm also curious about how this kind of mechanical life operates. Do they obey the law of conservation of energy?"

Lucas: "Of course! The life activities of these robots also require energy support. Naturally, the way they replenish energy differs from carbon-based life."

Howard Stark laughed: "Then how do they replenish their vital energy? Charging, or some kind of fuel?"

Lucas: "Neither! The life energy of Transformers comes from the AllSpark, which is a powerful energy source that can directly transform mechanical equipment into mechanical life."

Howard Stark: "It looks like Tony has already found this object. I wonder what method he'll use to acquire it. Does he have the capability to take these things by force? After all, the technology in the Marvel world is far superior to this world's."

Zheng Qizi: "If he uses the method of the Yang Shen practitioners, he could sneak into those research bases quietly. But extracting items will be somewhat problematic."

Lucas: "Let's see how he handles it! Iron Man versus Transformers? Sounds interesting."

Howard Stark: "I bet ten cents that my son, Iron Man, will win."

Outside the chat group...

After Iron Man had gathered the information he needed, he immediately targeted the research facility storing Megatron's corpse and the AllSpark. Relying on the superior artificial intelligence from the Marvel World, he forcibly hacked into the electronic equipment of the research base.

After the electronic systems were compromised, Tony Stark immediately summoned his armor and rushed into the facility.

"Enemy attack!"

"Everyone be alert—unknown mechanical lifeform invading the base."

"The radios and phones aren't working anymore—yell louder so I can hear you!"

The humans in the research base discovered their dependency on electronic equipment. With all their electronics hacked, they could only communicate through shouting. Under these conditions, stopping Iron Man would be nearly impossible.

After Iron Man infiltrated the research base, with Jarvis's assistance, he quickly reached the location where the AllSpark was hidden. He deftly snatched it and departed without hesitation.

"Can this thing really give machines life?"

Tony Stark examined the AllSpark in his hand with a skeptical expression, then took out his mobile phone to conduct an experiment.

The phone, injected with energy from the AllSpark, quickly transformed into a small robot. It assembled its arms into an energy cannon, preparing to fire at Tony Stark.

"So it does work—this thing is amazing."

"It's a pity that the robots it creates aren't obedient. That's a significant problem."

Tony Stark smiled slightly, raised his hand and crushed the phone-sized robot with a slap. He then contemplated the AllSpark in his hand.

"With this in my possession, I can continuously create robots to hunt down, fulfilling the tasks given to me by the Traverser Space."

"But such a good opportunity can't be wasted—I must study everything in this world."

Tony Stark thought carefully and quickly made his decision.

Howard Stark smiled in the chat group: "This kid still has the same personality. When he encounters something he wants to study, he puts everything else aside. But compared to studying the AllSpark and Transformers, the reward from the Traverser Space becomes secondary."

Lucas: "Good luck to him! In the world of Transformers, there are two groups of Transformers tracking the whereabouts of the AllSpark."
