Zombie Wanda heard this, and a ferocious smile spread across her face: "I understand, my Master~"
"Alright, I'll be off then. Use this to contact me if anything comes up." After Ryan had taken care of matters in this World, both the living and the dead, he used his Infinite Power to replicate his own bracelet and tossed it to Zombie Wanda, preparing to leave.
Zombie Wanda caught the bracelet, which Ryan had even had Ironheart paint crimson, held it tightly in her palms, and called out to Ryan's retreating back:
"Then can I use it to call you every night?"
Ryan, who was busy calibrating his bracelet's parallel Universe positioning, nearly stumbled and fell to the ground upon hearing this.
He immediately found the coordinates for his own Universe, opened a red spider-web portal, and dove straight through without even answering.
Damn, this little Witch seems to have been messed with by me!
She's been turned into a zombie yandere!
And Zombie Wanda watched the red spider-web portal slowly fade away, unable to help but feel even more infatuated:
"Oh, even the portal is in my exclusive color? I love it even more!"
Spider-Man 2099, who had set the portal color for the bracelet: ...
Ryan returned to his own Universe as if fleeing, and only after seeing the portal close completely did he pat his chest in relief.
There was no help for it. If a normal Wanda were this proactive toward him, Ryan, who wasn't exactly a saint, might have just given in.
But this Wanda was, in essence, still a zombie!
He wasn't that heavy-tasting or into weird fetishes yet...
He didn't know if riding a dog would cause rot, but riding a zombie definitely would...
But immediately, Ryan cast this philosophical question to the back of his mind and frowned.
Because the location he had pinpointed when traveling back was in the experimental level of Parker Tower.
Ever since the zombie virus outbreak, this floor had been cleared out specifically for the Superhero team to research a cure for the zombie virus.
But at this moment, there wasn't a single soul on this floor!
Something was wrong!
Ryan couldn't help but frown and shout: "Ultron, where are Tony and the others?"
Immediately, a red hologram of Ultron was projected in front of him.
[Master, Mr. Stark and the research team have currently headed to the Golden City of Wakanda...]
Hearing this, Ryan's brow relaxed, and he said with some surprise: "Did they really manage to create a cure for the zombie virus?"
[Well... actually, it hasn't been completely developed, but Ms. Riri, whom you sent back, brought back the formula for the zombie virus inhibitor. Therefore, the research team used this formula to successfully develop a cure for those not fully infected, and have already successfully cured Mr. Otto Parker, Queen Ramonda, and Ms. Riri herself, who were previously infected by the virus!]
[However, for those completely infected zombies, the research team has not yet found a way to reverse their condition...]
Hearing Ultron say this, Ryan grew even more puzzled:
"Since the research team hasn't developed a cure to completely reverse the zombie condition, why did they go to Wakanda now?"
[Because... there is no longer any need to develop a cure to completely reverse the zombie virus. There are no more zombies on Earth now...]
Ryan: ?
"What does that mean? Did someone bomb the Golden City of Wakanda without my permission?"
You have to know that the Golden City is full of zombies.
The reason he hadn't destroyed the Golden City directly, and instead just had people surround it, was to use them as test subjects to see if they could be restored to normal humans!
Who had the guts of a Hulk and the heart of Thanos to dare disobey his orders and blow up the Golden City?!
But immediately, Ultron denied his guess:
[No, Master, the Golden City has not been blown up, but the zombies inside have indeed been cleared out. And it wasn't humans who cleared them out, but an unknown species that has never appeared on Earth before...]
[Its form is too strange to be explained by science. I will play the recorded footage for you directly...]
Ultron explained a couple of sentences, seemingly not knowing how to describe it either, and then projected a holographic image in front of Ryan.
The footage showed yesterday's date.
In the footage, the dome field of Wakanda at dusk was as usual; aside from the low roars of zombies, one could not see the specific situation inside due to the dome field's blue mimicry mode.
But a minute later, inside the dome field, in addition to the roars of the zombies, other eerie sounds gradually began to emerge...
First, there were sudden, whistling gusts of wind!
But one must know that the entire Golden City was covered in all directions by the dome field; let alone wind, not even a mosquito could fly in, so how could there be wind!
Then, even more hair-raising sounds appeared!
After the wind, roars that did not belong to any Earth creature emanated from within the dome field!
Then came the constant sound of flesh being torn apart!
And most terrifying of all, along with the sounds of flesh being torn, countless human screams and cries for help emanated from inside the dome field!
But this was simply impossible, because they had long since confirmed that all humans in the Golden City were dead, all infected into zombies; it was now a city of zombies!
And how could zombies possibly emit human screams and cries for help?!
If an ordinary person were facing this bizarre scene, they would likely be scared out of their wits!
But fortunately, the coalition forces surrounding the Golden City were not ordinary people!
They were the top Superheroes from two Universes!
Faced with this bizarre situation, even if the ordinary Wakandan warriors and physical-type Superheroes could do nothing about it, there were still two Thors, two Doctor Stranges, and two Scarlet Witches present!
The six powerful beings, all belonging to the mystical side, rose into the air together, instantly bringing a great sense of security to everyone!
First, the two Wandas used Chaos Magic to cover the original foundation of the dome field with a layer of Chaos Magic energy as a safeguard.
Then, the two Thors held Mjolnir and stormbreaker high, forming a thundercloud above the Golden City; as soon as anything emerged from within, they would immediately launch a thunderous strike!
Finally, the two Doctor Stranges joined forces to cast the 'Winds of Watoomb' (a magic that dispels illusions), covering the entire city, which dispersed the blue light of the dome field that was obscuring the situation inside, turning it transparent.
In the end, everyone saw the hellish, terrifying scene inside the dome field!
The city of zombies, which was already a bloody hell, was now not only filled with zombies, but countless ferocious monsters and human 'souls' were flying in the sky!
You heard that right, human souls!
Those monsters, who appeared out of nowhere in the Golden City, could not only easily tear zombies into shreds, but most terrifyingly, their sharp claws could actually hook out the human souls imprisoned within the zombie husks!
They were like soul-reapers from hell, forcibly dragging these human souls, who should have reported to hell long ago, out of the zombies' bodies!
But they did not take these souls to hell; instead, they tore the souls into shreds just like the zombie bodies, in mid-air, and swallowed them into their bellies!
And as each human soul was devoured by them, the bodies of these mysterious monsters grew stronger at a rate visible to the naked eye!
Clearly, they were monsters that fed on human souls!
And these monsters, after the two Doctor Stranges eliminated the mimicry layer of the dome field, upon seeing the coalition forces surrounding the dome field, actually flew toward the coalition!
And the most outrageous thing was that they seemed to have no physical form, as they passed straight through the indestructible dome field barrier!
Fortunately, the two Wandas had already covered the outer layer of the dome field with a layer of Chaos Magic to prevent accidents!
And these monsters seemed to be able to ignore technological means, but could not ignore magical abilities.
Therefore, when they crashed into the two Wandas' Chaos Magic barrier, it was like crashing into a true wall, and they were unable to break through at all!
And the footage ended there...
