Earth-001, Inheritors laboratory.
Just as Morlun arrived in the Dimension of Blood, Jarvis had already successfully copied the cloning technology and various experimental data.
However, Lucas remained calmly lounging in his rocking chair. He closed his eyes, feigning sleep, with no intention of leaving.
Tony, Wanda, and Pietro were puzzled.
Sensing their questioning gazes, Lucas explained, "Wait a little longer, wait for the Blood God to bring the other members of the Inheritors to our doorstep."
"The Inheritors's cloning technology has a backdoor, it cannot be used directly. Tony's detection is one safeguard. Annihilating the Inheritors is another safeguard."
Tony frowned. "I know there's a problem with this cloning technology. But staying here, waiting for the Blood God and the Inheritors to arrive, won't that be too risky?"
"During the previous battle with Solus, my suit and ammunition were damaged and need repairs. I won't be able to fight at full strength in the upcoming battle. I suggest we return to Earth-404 to fight. Only there can I unleash my full combat power."
Tony can only unleash his full combat power back on Earth-404?
Lucas pondered for a moment and understood.
On Earth-001, Tony would need to launch probes into Earth's orbit to find meteorites, a step that takes time.
But on Earth-404, with Stark Industries' satellites everywhere, this step could be skipped.
However, Lucas shook his head. "On Earth-404, there are three Sanctums guarded by the Ancient One, so the Blood God most likely wouldn't dare to come."
"Don't worry, it's just a mere Blood God. Outside the Dimension of Blood, I am ninety-eight percent confident I can handle him."
After a brief reassurance to calm the three of them, Lucas's thoughts moved, opening a portal to the Stark Industries building on Earth-404.
"Here, Tony, you can repair your suit and replenish your ammunition now. However, you'll have to hurry. The Blood God will probably arrive here in about an hour."
Tony breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, agreeing with Lucas's decision.
Since Lucas's portal could open directly to Stark Tower, it could also open to Kamar-Taj. If things went wrong, retreat and calling for help were both options.
In the Superflow, the Blood God stirred up ripples and was rushing towards Earth-001 at full speed.
In the Multiverse, the Spider-Men of the Web Slingers were also gathering. They were preparing to teleport to Earth-001 through the Web of Life and Destiny.
As for why the Blood God didn't use a portal, it was probably because he was too weak. The portal spell sounds very complex, and in reality, it is even more difficult.
Ultimately, it was the Blood God, relying on his own arduous journey, who arrived first.
Like a stone dropped into a lake, the Blood God's arrival stirred up waves of spatial fluctuations around him.
Without Lucas's reminder, Tony, Wanda, and Pietro noticed the Blood God.
A colossal body, tens of thousands of meters tall, like a mountain standing upright. It was hard for Tony and the others not to notice.
"Is this the Blood God?" Tony asked with a hint of disbelief.
Such a massive body...
Even on Earth-404, with his newly developed ultimate move, it would be difficult to destroy, wouldn't it?
Lucas said calmly, "Roughly the same size as the Beast. It shouldn't be his true body, just a clone."
When killing the Beast, Lucas had already discovered this.
The Beast's true body had died when his dimension was breached. What remained were two clones, one large and one small, and a dimensional fragment.
"This is just a clone?" Wanda exclaimed.
She was now a little worried whether the male Ancient One could really help her retrieve her parents' souls.
Across hundreds of kilometers, Lucas and the Blood God's gazes met. Their eyes held the same confidence and playfulness.
The Blood God spoke first, "Sorcerer Spider-Man, I told you before, you have no way to escape."
Lucas chuckled. "Blood God, I never thought of escaping. I've been looking forward to this reunion with an old acquaintance for a long time."
"Sharp-tongued. Bug, die!"
The Blood God said no more, a crimson energy beam shot from his eyes, directly at Lucas.
The crimson light beam slanted down from above and to the side, tearing apart all the clouds and water vapor in its path.
Lucas raised one hand forward and his talent [Energy Absorption] activated. The originally thick crimson light beam rapidly shrank as it approached, finally disappearing completely into his palm.
Everything around Lucas remained unaffected, as if that massive crimson energy beam was merely an illusion.
The Blood God's pupils contracted, somewhat surprised by Lucas's method of neutralizing his attack.
While the Blood God was stunned, Lucas's gaze quickly swept over.
'Just as the information obtained from Morlun indicated, the Blood God brought all the enhanced Inheritors with him.'
'Previously, the Ancient One and I underestimated Tony's combat power. I wonder if Tony can bring any more surprises this time.'
'And Wanda... I hope she can also gain something from this battle.'
Lucas planned to hold back in his fight with the Blood God, to observe Tony and Wanda.
As for Pietro, he was just an afterthought.
Having made up his mind, Lucas spoke, "My battle with the Blood God is not suitable for Earth. Otherwise, it would completely destroy the planet's ecosystem. Later, I will find a way to take him away from Earth. The rest of the Inheritors are up to you."
Noticing Wanda and Pietro were a bit nervous, Lucas comforted them, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Even if you accidentally die in battle, I will resurrect you."
Wanda and Pietro's faces darkened. They thought Lucas was going to say he would take care of them.
However, after Lucas's interruption, the two were no longer as nervous.
Seeing this, Lucas actively flew towards the Blood God.
Along the way, he continuously released divine power, forming an energy body that constantly expanded. Soon, it expanded to ten thousand meters, then a hundred thousand meters...
Finally, it stopped expanding when it was a a little taller than the Blood God.
Lucas looked down, gazing at the Blood God, and asked, "To outer space to fight?"
The Blood God snorted in anger and flew towards outside Earth first.
Earth-001 was the Inheritors's base, and the Blood God also did not want to destroy it.
Lucas followed the Blood God, deliberately flying alongside him. He turned his head, flying and looking down at the Blood God at the same time.
Lucas really didn't understand.
Why were these Dimensional Lords' (Beast, Blood God) clones all so massive?
Is being big useful?
Being hard is what's useful.
Despite the Blood God's clone being so large, his body's hardness was far inferior to Lucas's.
However, if Lucas fought with his true body, it would be difficult to hold back. That's why he condensed an energy body to play with the Blood God.
Seeing Lucas and the Blood God depart, below, the Inheritors began to stir.
The Inheritors didn't have the ability to detect Tony and the others from hundreds of kilometers away. But the Blood God's energy beam just now had pointed the way.
