American comics: May the Holy Light deceive you

Chapter 28 Phoenix Elegy - 2

There's one thing Vega didn't mention: he didn't find the source of the virus, but he felt that this virus, which only infects humans, must have been man-made.

Moreover, he could roughly confirm that the person who created this virus must be related to the government or the military!

He had seen similar things many times before; they were nothing more than another failed super-soldier program or a plan to eliminate superhumans.

Whether they are superheroes or supervillains, as long as they possess special abilities or technology beyond ordinary people, they will more or less no longer abide by the law, and the government will find it difficult to manage them.

Judging from the exhibits at the park entrance and the corpses in the plaza, the number of extraordinary individuals in this world is astonishing.

With so many extraordinary individuals, even a fool could imagine how frustrated the Western governments in this world must be.

Of course, Vega wouldn't sympathize with the other party, after all, he was also a superhuman, and he didn't care much about the official institutions in his world either.

"Wanda?"

The number of people who could save the world has increased from one to two, but the Punisher is not happy.

Wanda has mental health issues; she has caused a lot of trouble and killed several superheroes.

Moreover, Wanda had been missing for several years before the virus outbreak, and her Chaos powers had long since disappeared.

The Punisher: "If Phoenix can't overcome her psychological trauma, or if she can't go back in time to erase the virus as you said, could you come back and help us after you've resolved the crisis in your own world?"

In order to restore the world to normal, he must consider all possibilities.

Vega: "To be honest, saving the world is very difficult for me."

Whether it's purifying all viruses in the current environment, the global environment, and all living organisms, or going back in time and rewriting history to restore the world to its state before the virus outbreak, both require enormous amounts of energy, which I do not possess.

"So you have the means, but you lack the energy, right?" The Punisher got straight to the point.

"Yes," Vega nodded in acknowledgment, but in fact he had two ways to save the world, and the method of lacking energy was only one of them.

The bronze armlet he wore on his left arm was a replica of the creation artifact from his creator companion, Tina. It was because of the bronze armlet that he was able to survive that terrifying storm in that other dimension, a storm that was rare to see even once in billions of years.

Rewinding time is one of the core effects of the armband, but he has exhausted the energy in the bronze armband, and usually he uses his own power to drive the armband.

Moreover, the armband is not very compatible with this world; for now, it can only be used to open up other dimensions.

While Nidavellir was crafting his equipment, he borrowed a dwarven airship to go to Morag, obtained the Power Gem, and asked the dwarven king Eitrich to have it set into his armlet.

The Power Stone contains boundless energy; it can mobilize any energy that exists in the Marvel Universe.

The purpose of embedding it in the armband is to allow the energy of the Marvel universe to permeate and transform the armband, so that it can also exert the power of a creation artifact in this world.

This process is lengthy, and the two are currently in a period of adjustment, unable to unleash their full potential.

This is temporarily unavailable; the other one that will be available immediately is the Relic Tear of Remedios.

This relic contains a trace of Remedios' divine power. Holding it can greatly enhance the effects of healing spells, and consuming it should be able to purify the global environment and all viruses within all living organisms.

The bronze armlet was unusable, but Vega couldn't bear to use the Tear of Remedios.

Tears are not only a healing amplifier, but also a tool for him to comprehend higher-level laws of life, and even more so, proof of his identity.

By possessing this relic, he becomes Remedios, or rather, God's agent on earth. This identity will protect him from many targets and schemes from higher levels.

He is not a selfless saint; he believes in the principle of saving oneself before saving others. He will only consider whether to save others if his own safety is not at risk.

The Punisher: "What kind of energy do you need, and how can I help you?"

Vega shook his head: "You can't help me. You should try to persuade Phoenix instead."

Looking at the now calmed Ruby skeleton, the Punisher sighed helplessly. He was not good with words, nor was he a psychologist.

"We can let the priest try; persuading others is his job." As he spoke, Vega turned to look east, then raised his right hand, and a golden energy chain shot towards the ruins of a building more than twenty meters away.

The Punisher didn't notice anything amiss, but quickly drew his gun and aimed it there.

A figure wearing a red bodysuit with black mesh details rushed out from behind the broken wall, quickly dodging and running into the distance.

The idea was wonderful, but a few seconds later, the mysterious man was bound like a dumpling with chains and brought before Vega.

"Spider-Man?" Vega recognized the man when he saw the familiar bodysuit on his body.

"I mean no harm. I'm here to make a deal. I know the hiding places of many survivors!" Zero, who had struggled with all his might but could not break free, stopped struggling. His gaze swept back and forth between Vega and the Punisher, and he was thinking about how to turn the tables.

Vega: "Looks like you haven't run into Deadpool. We already know what happened to you. I can help you rescue your girlfriend, but I need your watch as payment."

Zero nodded decisively: "Okay, but you must eliminate the Death Lord and all his minions. Manhattan is my territory!"

Vega: "Aren't you curious what I want to do with that watch?"

Zero: "What you do is none of my business."

The Punisher frowned: "Why did you give the watch to your girlfriend?"

Deadpool said that Zero gave the watch that could travel through the universe to his girlfriend because he was worried that it would spread the virus to other worlds, but Zero didn't seem to care what Vega wanted the watch for, which didn't match what Deadpool said.

Zero: "Mary asked me for it, I didn't give it to her."

"Ha, it seems you really love her." Vega sighed. Cyclops ate Phoenix after being infected by the virus, while Peter Parker, after being infected, still deeply loved Mary Jane, who was not infected, and even gave her the watch that allowed him to find countless meats to eat.

Vega asked, "Do you want to return to normal? I can help you."

In the eyes of the "carnivores," humans who are not infected with the virus are just food. The love between Peter Parker and Mary Jane is as unbelievable as a lion falling in love with an antelope.

This love is a miracle, so Vega decides to use a little of Remedios's Tear to heal Peter Parker and give this love a happy ending.

"No!" But to everyone's surprise, Zero refused...
