“Rest assured, I will have the best medical team from the 【Sky Carrier】 go with you. Barton will definitely be alright.”
Nick Fury paused slightly, then continued with a deliberately relaxed tone:
“Um… to avoid any more accidents during this time, how about… we have Stark bring Blade back first?!”
“……”
For some reason, after hearing this, Captain America suddenly felt an urge to curse.
Although the three 【Night Demons】 were all killed by Homelander, it didn't mean the crisis was over.
Because there were likely still many vampires lurking around.
They might jump out and attack at any moment.
And right now, Captain America himself was seriously injured. Although he could grit his teeth and barely handle a few vampires, his combat power had been greatly reduced.
His catchphrase “I can do this all day” was completely out of the question.
Black Widow and Sharon Carter still showed no signs of waking up.
It was unknown if their brains had been injured in the previous battle.
They both needed to receive treatment as soon as possible.
The severely injured and unconscious Hawkeye was even more out of the question!
Bruce Banner seemed unharmed, but considering the threat he posed to everyone after transforming into the Hulk might be even greater than the vampires.
So, Captain America was already grateful that he wasn't causing trouble and making things worse at this time.
That meant that out of the six members of the capture team, only Tony Stark was left who could “fight”.
But this negro… ah, Nick Fury wanted him to take Blade away first?
Was he even talking like a human being?
Even if Tony took the seriously injured Hawkeye away first, Captain America guaranteed he wouldn't be as resentful as he was now!
Wasn't this clearly prioritizing information over the lives of the others?
What, is it really just Black Lives Matter?!
However.
Even if Captain America was full of complaints, as a soldier, he had to carry out the orders given by his superiors.
Even if the order was wrong…
“I say, Fury, even if you're in a hurry, a few minutes won't make a difference. It's better for us to leave together when the plane arrives!”
Tony Stark didn't indulge Nick Fury's bad habits.
Anyway, he wasn't an agent of 【.】, so even if he disobeyed, they wouldn't dare do anything to him.
But at this moment.
A figure suddenly descended from the sky.
It was Homelander, who had returned.
“Sorry, I just forgot something.”
Homelander didn't waste any words. He walked directly to Blade, who was still unconscious, then grabbed his head with one hand and pressed his shoulder with the other, and then yanked outwards with a little force.
Poof—
Blade's head, along with his entire spine, was forcibly pulled out by him.
“Old man, take this back and report to that black guy!”
Homelander threw the head in front of Captain America and said solemnly:
“Oh, right, I also want to remind you that 【America】 no longer needs old relics like you to protect it… They have me, and that's enough!!”
With that.
Homelander flew back into the sky, his figure disappearing into the gray sky in the blink of an eye.
“Phew…”
Although he was mocked again, Captain America felt inexplicably relieved.
Because from the communicator, Nick Fury, after learning that Blade had been killed, completely lost it on the spot!
Serves him right!
“Homelander, you *\u0026￥*#*%**……”
“You wait, I swear I will never let you go!!”
The reason why Nick Fury was so angry was because Blade's death meant that this capture operation he had planned would once again end in failure.
【.】, in this major event, not only failed to obtain any valuable information.
But also lost three elite agents and a 【Quinjet】 at the same time.
This was simply slapping Nick Fury in the face!
And it was the kind that directly swelled up on the spot.
Most importantly.
This meant that 【.】 was destined to not be able to get even a tiny bit of benefit from this vampire-induced major event.
Nick Fury's plan to request additional funding was completely ruined.
This was even more uncomfortable than killing him!
But Nick Fury could do nothing about it.
He could only greatly advance Homelander's ranking on the revenge list… and finally place it below Karl's name.
Very good, you're all going to wait for me!!
…………
……
With Blade's death and the prolonged loss of dark energy supply.
The “black smoke columns” that originally maintained the demonic array in the sky gradually began to dissipate.
The dark energy barrier covering the city of 【Chicago】 also became increasingly thin.
The sky gradually changed from pitch black to a hazy gray.
I don't know how long it had passed.
Strands of weak sunlight spilled down from the cracks in the sky.
Bringing some long-lost light to this silent city and streets!
But those survivors hiding in the buildings, tightly covering their mouths and daring not to make a sound, could not be happy no matter what.
Because the sun was setting, and in another ten minutes, night would fall!!
Whether they could survive tonight was still unknown…
…………
……
The scene returns to the altar on 【Belle Isle】.
After a great battle by the mages, the vast majority of the demons had been driven back into the 【Hell Dimension】.
And as the seven demonic arrays that continuously transmitted extreme energy to the altar from the periphery gradually collapsed, the 【Dimensional Channel】 in the center of the altar also began to become unstable.
It would obviously not last long before it completely disappeared.
“Gu Yi, let me out. I agree to make a soul contract and never set foot on Earth again…”
Perhaps due to the obstruction of the 【Mirror Dimension】, Clea's restraining magic on Lilith quickly became ineffective.
And the latter chose to compromise at the first moment, directly shouting a sentence towards the void.
She believed that Gu Yi could definitely hear it!
The fact was indeed so.
The next second, Lilith's figure returned to the real world.
Opposite her, Gu Yi stood with her hands behind her back, her face without sorrow or joy, full of the demeanor of an expert, and her imposing manner was directly pulled full.
And standing next to Gu Yi was Karl, who had transformed into an “Evil Spirit Form”.
If Karl's head wasn't a burning skull.
Then Lilith would have immediately turned around and fled into the 【Dimensional Channel】 the moment she saw the look in the other party's eyes.
Because that was a ruthless look that intended to take the opportunity to kill her!
After all… the look in one's eyes when wanting to stab someone in the back cannot be hidden.
“I, Lilith, swear by my soul that I will never appear on Earth again, otherwise my soul will fall into the endless abyss at the bottom of the 【River Styx】…”
After Lilith finished her poisonous oath, she looked at Gu Yi with a lifeless expression and said, “Is that okay now?”
“You may leave.”
Lilith, having obtained permission, immediately picked up Dracula's head from the ground and walked towards the altar.
Swish—
However.
At this moment, a chain burning with 【Hellfire】 and the power of the Four Small Vendors suddenly bound Lilith from behind.
The one who made the move was Karl.
“Gu Yi, you actually cheated… Poof!!!”
The clueless Lilith was both surprised and angry.
But before she could finish her words, her body was completely destroyed by the suddenly tightened chains.
The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!
……
【Prestige +444, +69, +45…】
【Detected a collectable high-level demon soul, Subspace Soul Count +1】
……
Dracula's head rolled to the ground, looking in the direction where Lilith disappeared, muttering to himself, “I said, you won't have a good end.”
Gu Yi frowned slightly, staring straight at Karl, “I need a reasonable explanation!”
“It's very simple, I don't trust her.”
Karl seemed to have expected the other party's reaction, and replied bluntly, “Only fools would believe a demon's guarantee.”
Karl's words were half true and half false.
The true part: Don't even mention Lilith, he didn't trust Gu Yi either.
The false part: He actually just wanted to take the opportunity to kill Lilith, and harvest a high-level demon soul for 【Subspace】.
When dealing with enemies, Karl never paid attention to rules and methods.
Unless he could still extract a large amount of value from the other party, otherwise he would not be bound by those so-called “moral” rules, thereby placing himself in an unknown dangerous situation.
This was his way of survival in the “other world”!
And right now, the reason why he dared to violate Gu Yi's decision and kill Lilith in person was because he was betting that the other party would not turn against him, this “close ally”, because of a demon.
The fact was indeed as he had predicted.
Although Gu Yi was dissatisfied with his “despicable” actions, it was only that.
Because her current stereotype of Karl was… as expected, none of the dimensional gods are good things!!
So, how high a level of awareness could she expect from this guy?
But the necessary warnings were still inevitable.
“Doing this obviously breaks the rules, and may make you the target of public criticism in the future…”
Σ(⊙▽⊙“a？？？
Oh?
Good you, bald head, you dare to curse me?
Do you really think I don't know anything?
“What about yourself?”
Karl immediately sneered and retorted, “In order to obtain a longer lifespan, you secretly broke the rules of the mages' inheritance for thousands of years, and drew power from Dormammu…
Have you never considered that your future might be ruined and you might become the target of public criticism?”
Still playing the “yin and yang” game with me?
Let's first understand “using their own methods to treat their own person”!
Whoosh—
Almost at the same instant, the world where the two were located was suddenly enveloped by the 【Mirror Dimension】.
“How did you know?”
Gu Yi looked at Karl with a frosty face, and dangerous light flashed in her ancient well-like eyes.
There was vigilance, anger, and deep fear.
Who would have thought.
Facing the bald-headed demon king who could strike at any time.
Karl was not flustered at all, and even took the initiative to remove the 【Evil Spirit Form】, and restore his human form.
The reason why he did this was not because of arrogance.
But to convey two key messages to the opposite Gu Yi.
First: I don't want to fight with you!
Second: Even if we really start fighting, I'm not afraid of you at all now!
Although the atmosphere at the moment looked a bit tense.
But as an expert proficient in negotiation, Karl dared to be very sure that Gu Yi would definitely not really want to attack!
Otherwise, the two of them would have already beaten each other into a dog's head!
Moreover… this bald head needs his ally's help more than ever now.
In a flash of lightning, Karl had already weighed the current situation in his heart.
To sum it up in four words: the advantage is on my side!
Wouldn't he take the opportunity to take advantage of her?
“I am a person whose mouth has always been very tight… What's more, aren't we close allies?”
A sly look flashed quickly in Karl's eyes, and he talked eloquently, “In my opinion, maintaining the interests of allies is equivalent to maintaining my own interests!”
“Therefore, not only will I not tell your secret, but I will also go to great lengths to help you solve this huge hidden danger from the root.”
As a former gold medal salesman, Karl believed that one of his greatest advantages was… he never blushed when telling lies!
Especially when he removed the “deified” filter on Gu Yi, he was even more comfortable in negotiations.
“……”
Gu Yi looked straight at Karl.
Between her eyebrows, a blue vein gradually emerged.
I wouldn't trust you with a single punctuation mark! You're seriously warped by dimensional magic!
Huh?
Wait a minute?
Did he just say… he'd help me resolve the Dormammu problem?
To be honest, it was out of desperation that the Ancient One secretly 'borrowed' power from Dormammu.
Because in the hundreds of years since she became the Sorcerer Supreme, the mystical arts had suffered a serious talent drought.
Simply put, there wasn't anyone capable of taking over from her.
(Note: This situation didn't improve even after Doctor Strange appeared; in fact, it became more severe. After Doctor Strange stepped down, they even had to let 'Wang,' the 'strongest' at the time, become the Sorcerer Supreme, showing each generation was weaker than the last.)
So much so that she had to use the Time Stone and the Eye of Agamotto to constantly predict the future.
In order to determine when the next qualified successor would appear!
