'Sure enough, he was throwing the match before.'
Watching Lucas mercilessly beat Deacon Frost on the screen, Nick Fury thought to himself.
But what was the purpose of him doing this?
"Has the second line of defense been established?"
"Officer, it has been completed." Coulson replied.
Then he added, "According to Stacy's information, this defensive line mainly consists of intercepting cables and capture nets."
"Furthermore, it has been tested that after injecting a large amount of anticoagulant, these Vampires will self-destruct."
"Good." Nick Fury nodded.
Then he pointed at the map and said, "Looking at their movement trajectory, Deacon Frost has always wanted to rendezvous with the main Vampire force. He must have some scheme, and we cannot let him succeed."
"Stark, Stacy, you two go support Lucas and intercept Deacon Frost. Hill will handle the defense line." Nick Fury switched channels.
"Is there a problem with Lucas?" Gwen asked worriedly.
"Did that humorous boy mess up? He just told us not to go over."
Despite saying that, Tony immediately controlled his armor and flew towards Lucas's location.
Soon, Tony realized he had guessed wrong.
Lucas once again caught up to Deacon Frost and delivered a heavy punch to his back.
Deacon Frost flew forward, but he also used this to create distance from Lucas. He had already given up. Turning back to fight would only get him hit a few more times, so it was better to just endure it.
However, this time the situation was different. A red and gold figure blocked his path.
Bang... Bang...
Tony raised his hand, firing several small missiles at Deacon Frost, then charged forward under the cover of the missiles and delivered a kick.
"It's time to play soccer." Tony muttered to himself.
He intended to treat this Vampire leader as a soccer ball and kick him back.
The idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
"Get lost!"
Deacon Frost adjusted his posture, enduring Tony's kick, his body only pausing slightly.
Then he grabbed Tony's leg, which had not yet been retracted, and swung him towards Lucas behind him.
Whoosh... Whoosh...
At the same time, several strands of web landed on Deacon Frost's limb joints.
It was Gwen who had arrived in time, blocking Deacon Frost's path.
Lucas dodged with a flash, not catching Tony. Tony could adjust his posture in the air to dissipate force, catching him would easily cause secondary injury. It wasn't that he prioritized supporting Gwen.
After multiple enhancements by the Blood God, Deacon Frost's physical attributes were superior to Gwen's in all aspects. In just a few rounds, Gwen could only barely cope with the help of her Spider-Sense. But Deacon Frost was also stopped by Gwen and couldn't get away.
Lucas arrived.
This time, he would hit him hard. Invisible power within his body concentrated in his right arm, coiling around his fist.
Crack!
Boom!
Accompanied by a sonic boom, Lucas's fist landed on Deacon Frost's back.
The invisible energy penetrated, causing internal damage. This time, there was no time to adjust his posture. Deacon Frost was blasted to the ground by Lucas.
Bang!
Bang!
The first sound was Deacon Frost's chest exploding.
The second sound was Deacon Frost hitting the ground.
Whoosh!
Tony piloted his armor back to the battlefield.
At this moment, Lucas, Gwen, and Tony surrounded Deacon Frost from the front, back, and air.
"You have nowhere left to run. Surrender now." Lucas said.
These were not Lucas's true feelings, but the atmosphere called for it.
"Do you think you've won?" Deacon Frost said gloomily.
"Wherever the Blood God passes, all things become Vampires."
"Be careful."
Feeling her Spider-Sense frantically tingling, Gwen quickly warned, retreating backward at the same time.
Bang!
Lucas advanced instead of retreating, kicking Deacon Frost and sending him flying far away.
Boom!
Endless blood-red energy surged from Deacon Frost, unconsciously spreading outwards.
"What is this?" Tony asked in fear.
He didn't have Lucas and Gwen's reaction speed. If Lucas hadn't kicked Deacon Frost away in time, he would have been exposed to this blood-red energy.
Lucas explained, "Pure Blood God power. It can transform other life forms into Vampires."
"Then just now—"
"Yes, your guess is correct."
Tony's face was ashen, he didn't want to become that kind of neither-human-nor-ghost thing.
"My power is not limited to this."
Deacon Frost, no, the Blood God said, "I can also continuously strengthen Vampires until they reach their limit."
Unbeknownst to them, the other Blood had abandoned their assault on the defensive line and returned to converge around the Blood God.
As if to confirm the Blood God's words, the aura of the Blood around the Blood God continuously grew stronger.
"The talent of this body is ordinary. Even strengthened to its limit, it is no match for you."
"But what about seven hundred Blood strengthened to their limit?"
The Blood God's tone contained no emotion, as if merely stating a truth.
"Retreat. When I achieve my goal, I will leave. At that time, I will no longer interfere with your Universe's affairs."
"Otherwise, I will strengthen these seven hundred Blood to their limit. Kill you, then go complete my task."
Lucas and the two fell silent, and on the helicarrier, Nick Fury, who had been watching, also fell silent.
Strengthen seven hundred Blood to their limit across endless space-time? Who are you trying to fool?
If it were in the Blood God's own dimension, Lucas believed he could do it.
But here?
Lucas carefully sensed the flow of the Blood God's energy.
700 Blood, absorbing approximately 9000 units of energy per second.
No, it was approximately 9000 units of energy transmitted by the Blood God per second.
Ever since the Blood gathered around the Blood God, the Blood God's energy no longer expanded outwards. Moreover, he seemed unable to effectively control this energy.
Time to test it.
Also, let's see how much I can gain if I blast him after the Blood absorb this energy.
Better to act than to just think.
Lucas quickly rushed into the Blood God's energy domain, blasted a Blood, then quickly rushed out.
[Lifespan +184]
Lucas quickly calculated in his mind.
The coefficient is approximately 0.2.
A Blood absorbing 1 unit of Blood God energy provides 0.2 units of energy to me.
What a pity, directly absorbing Blood God energy has too many side effects.
Let's put on a show and stall for more time, that's still a large sum of energy.
"Put on a show and stall for more time."
The Ancient One's voice once again sounded in Lucas's ear, the excitement and joy in her voice no longer hidden.
"Lucas, can you get close to the Blood God and kill the other Bloods?" Nick Fury asked.
Lucas frowned, not immediately answering Nick Fury.
He was pondering a question.
How to maximize profit?
