Marvel: Killing Makes You Stronger

Chapter 269: Bi Xiao Descended

"Yes," the zombie Doctor Strange nodded.

In this universe, although the historical timeline's trajectory differs from the main universe, his path of growth remains largely similar. He is still the one considered by the Ancient One to be the most outstanding Sorcerer Supreme in Kamar-Taj's history.

After becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, he had once traveled across the multiverse.

His mastery in magic had already made him a candidate for the most powerful sorcerer in the Nine Realms, far surpassing the zombie Loki beside him.

However, at that time, the zombie virus had not yet broken out.

But after the outbreak of the zombie virus, he had considered traveling to other universes to establish new feeding grounds. Yet, no matter what methods he tried, this universe seemed to be completely sealed off, preventing him from accessing other universes.

This realization dashed his hopes.

Upon hearing the zombie Doctor Strange's explanation, the other zombies showed expressions of concern.

"This situation seems rather suspicious," zombie Tony immediately noticed something amiss. Before the zombie virus appeared, Doctor Strange could travel across the multiverse, but after the outbreak, he could not.

Could it be that becoming a zombie lowered Doctor Strange's magical prowess?

That is absolutely impossible.

The zombie virus might alter one's personality and cause them to be driven by an insatiable hunger for flesh, but it doesn't reduce one's combat effectiveness.

Even after turning into a zombie, Tony Stark remained one of the smartest people on Earth.

If the zombie virus wasn't the issue, then it must have been some external factor that interfered with Doctor Strange. But what could it be?

There were plenty of intelligent beings present, such as Loki, whose eyes flashed with bloodlust as he said, "Someone has noticed what’s happening in this universe, so they've sealed it off to prevent anyone from entering other universes."

Although Loki had become a zombie, and was now driven by hunger and the desire for flesh, when satiated, he could still understand that he and all the other zombies posed a terrifying threat to any other universe. The contagion and invasiveness of this disaster were extremely potent.

Given time, the entire universe would quickly be devoured, and one universe after another would slowly fall. If no one intervened, this would soon evolve into a massive crisis involving the multiverse.

Under zombie Loki's analysis, the other zombies quickly grasped the gravity of the situation.

This meant that they had become the source of a major crisis, and they would inevitably become targets for elimination. The group of zombies looked grim.

"We need more powerful allies," zombie Tony said quietly.

Additionally, he needed to gather enough manpower to create a time-travel device. They couldn't remain confined to just one universe. Even if they devoured everything in this universe, it would be equivalent to being imprisoned, and when the time was right, someone would eventually come to eliminate them.

Below, Steve Rogers, Peter Parker, Daredevil, and other enhanced beings with sharp hearing overheard Loki and the others' conversation.

A glimmer of hope arose in their hearts.

Based on Loki and his group's discussion, it was evident that the crisis in their universe had already been noticed and would soon be resolved.

Perhaps there was still hope.

"There's no need to think too much. Whoever they are, when faced with us, their only fate is to become food," zombie Thor said with a sinister smile as he waved Mjolnir.

He had once been one of the main forces resisting the outbreak, but what was the result?

He became a zombie. When facing these zombies, especially those like Thor, Hulk, Doctor Strange, who were at the pinnacle of power, unless their enemies were overwhelmingly stronger, the margin for error was extremely slim, as they couldn't afford to be touched.

Whether by claws or teeth, even a scratch or bite would turn the enemy into a zombie.

Once assimilated, the enemy's strength threshold would have to be raised again.

If not, they would still end up being assimilated.

The other zombies understood this as well and began to laugh sinisterly.

As the zombies were discussing how to raise and cultivate life forms and how to break free from the universe's blockade to reach other universes, suddenly, zombie Thor, zombie Hulk, and other powerhouses suddenly felt a sense of impending death.

Their expressions changed drastically, and alarm bells rang wildly in their hearts.

Boom!!

A sound like a vast wave swept across the entire galaxy, perhaps the entire universe, as if time in the entire universe had suddenly frozen, with everything coming to a standstill.

Zombie Thor, Hulk, Doctor Strange, and the others were filled with shock.

Thor, Doctor Strange, Loki, and the others were unable to move their bodies, though their thoughts remained active. Fear filled their hearts, as they had no idea who had descended upon Earth.

That overwhelming, divine power was like being thrown into the center of the sun, burning them constantly. They felt as if their flesh, organs, cells, and souls were all being incinerated.

The pain was a terrifying torment.

Thor, Hulk, Doctor Strange, and Loki struggled to break free from the frozen state, but no matter what they tried, it was futile. At that moment, the zombies finally realized that someone overwhelmingly powerful had appeared.

With a flash of golden ripples, they saw a figure suddenly appear above the sky, just a few hundred meters away from the zombie heroes, coldly sweeping them with merciless eyes.

All the zombies caught a glimpse of the newcomer—a human?

Clad in a black trench coat with a white shirt underneath, the figure stood tall in the sky. Beneath the ominous black clouds, his cold and indifferent gaze was like a sword of judgment, piercing through their souls and bodies.

Who was this?

The humans below, who were also frozen in place, had no idea what was happening. Their thoughts and bodies had been completely immobilized, rendering them unaware that death had already arrived.

"Who is he? I've never seen anyone like this."

"Such power, such an aura... this is a Celestial even more powerful than my father. Damn it.”
