Half a month later.
July 1st.
Today was the day the secret realm would open.
A little past nine in the morning.
Chen Ye arrived at Tang Zichen's dormitory and sat on the sofa, eating an apple while waiting for the secret realm to open.
This time, they were heading to Secret Realm No. 8, also known as the Marvel World.
Tang Zichen poured Chen Ye a glass of water and sat down on the sofa as well.
Over the past two months, the two had gone on several dates, and their relationship had warmed up. They had officially become a couple.
However, both of them were seekers of power, and their approach to romance was different from others. They continued with their usual routines, each busy with their own pursuits. Despite being in a relationship, their daily lives hadn't changed much.
"Zichen, according to what Teacher Liu said earlier, Secret Realm No. 8 is quite dangerous," Chen Ye said after swallowing a bite of apple. "Once we enter, we'll gather information first. If we encounter any formidable characters, you should retreat early, and I'll handle the rest."
Tang Zichen understood the gravity of the situation and wouldn't push herself unnecessarily. She nodded and said, "I understand."
By a little past ten, the two sat together, holding hands, and vanished from the dormitory.
...
The world spun around them.
Their vision blurred for a moment, and when it cleared, they found themselves in an unfamiliar world.
It was a bustling metropolis.
Skyscrapers towered everywhere, and the streets were filled with a constant flow of cars and pedestrians.
However, the people around them were mostly white or black, with very few Asians. The signs on the shops were all in English.
Not far away, a flag hung limply in the absence of wind.
The pattern on the flag was unmistakable—it was the stars and stripes of the United States of America.
Clearly, the two had arrived directly in an American city.
Upon entering the secret realm, neither Chen Ye nor Tang Zichen had any interest in sightseeing.
Most importantly, this mission had a time limit, and they didn't want to waste time on meaningless activities.
*Mission: Collect Fear Points.*
*Time Limit: 15 days.*
"Let's stick to the plan!" Chen Ye said before parting ways with Tang Zichen to act separately.
Their first task was to gather information and identify the powerful individuals or superheroes in this world.
As for the potential language barrier, the secret realm had already taken care of it, granting Chen Ye temporary proficiency in English.
This wasn't a special favor for Chen Ye; all adventurers entering the secret realm received the same treatment.
A day later.
Chen Ye and Tang Zichen reunited at the same location.
"Chen Ye, I've found out that the mutants you asked me to keep an eye on all exist in this world..." Tang Zichen said, her expression turning serious.
The mutants Chen Ye was concerned about were, of course, extremely formidable individuals.
People like Magneto and Phoenix.
Old Liu had also warned them that if they encountered these individuals, they could only consider themselves unlucky.
Chen Ye remained calm and smiled reassuringly. "It's fine if they're here. It doesn't affect me much. But Zichen, if things go south, you need to return to the real world immediately."
"Okay, I understand."
Perhaps Chen Ye's confidence was contagious, as Tang Zichen relaxed a bit and asked, "What do we do next?"
"Stick to the plan!"
...
Chen Ye had already gathered enough information.
This was a complete Marvel world, with both mutants and members of the Avengers present.
It was also the most dangerous world Old Liu had warned them about!
Being transported to such a world in one go, Chen Ye wasn't sure if it was bad luck or if the secret realm was deliberately targeting him.
But it didn't matter.
With his current strength, even in such a dangerous world, he could move about Earth with ease.
The number of people who could pose a threat to him could be counted on one hand.
Originally, Chen Ye had planned to steal Magneto's helmet and the Infinity Stones.
Unfortunately, the secret realm had given them a tight deadline for this mission, leaving him no time to collect the stones.
As for Magneto's helmet...
Although it could protect against Professor X's mind control, Chen Ye realized he didn't need it.
Because...
Chen Ye had once consulted Qin Muyin, who had experienced Secret Realm No. 8, a world purely of mutants without the Avengers.
Qin Muyin told Chen Ye that if one's mental strength was high enough, even Professor X would find it difficult to control them.
For example, at the time, Qin Muyin's mental attribute had just surpassed 1,000 points, and Professor X could only influence her with his psychic powers, not directly control her thoughts.
Of course, the X-Men were formidable, and Qin Muyin couldn't withstand them. After Professor X discovered her hiding place, she had no choice but to surrender... As for her performance, it was decent.
Now, Chen Ye's mental strength was close to 3,000 points (including the 500 from a previous realm), making it even more impossible for Professor X to control his mind.
...
Hearing Chen Ye's determination to stick to the plan, Tang Zichen's expression turned serious.
She had heard Chen Ye's plan before, and it was audacious.
Even she had been shocked when she first heard it.
It was a plan to take on the entire world!
"I understand."
With those words, Tang Zichen left the area and concealed herself.
Given her current strength, she couldn't contribute much to such an audacious plan. Her role was to remain as a contingency, just in case.
Watching Tang Zichen disappear into the crowd, Chen Ye took a deep breath.
Just as he was about to make his move, a sudden blue beam of light shot into the sky from the top of Stark Tower in the distance. Moments later, a spatial rift opened in the heavens!
In the next instant, countless ugly aliens riding hovercrafts poured through the rift, invading Earth.
Seeing this, Chen Ye was momentarily surprised, then couldn't help but smile.
Had he coincidentally arrived during the Avengers' iconic battle?
Perfect. This was his chance to seize the Space Stone and the Mind Stone.
With that thought, Chen Ye quickly ascended into the air, heading straight for Stark Tower.
...
The Battle of New York.
Not only was this the battle that made the Avengers famous, but it was also the fight that officially brought the team together.
At this moment, Iron Man, Captain America, and the others had already returned to provide support, engaging in fierce combat with the alien invaders.
The two sides exchanged blows, energy blasts ringing out incessantly.
For a time, the streets of New York were engulfed in chaos and destruction.
Countless terrified citizens fled in panic...
Amid the fleeing crowd, one man moved against the tide, walking calmly toward the battlefield.
It was, of course, Chen Ye.
He hadn't revealed himself immediately because he was
Hawkeye: "Regardless, he's done us a huge favor."
Captain America: "Let's focus on cleaning up these aliens first. They're still slaughtering innocent civilians!"
Iron Man: "After we deal with these aliens, if that bald guy checks out, let's invite him to join us. I like this kid!"
The superheroes chatted casually as they hunted down the remaining Chitauri, their tone noticeably more relaxed.
Only Loki was unhappy.
In fact, as he watched the spatial rift close, his expression was one of utter despair!
"No!!" Loki shouted. "How could this happen?"
Then, he quickly realized that the scientist must have tricked him. Otherwise, how could the portal have been closed so easily?
"Loki!"
At that moment, Thor rushed over, grabbing Loki by the collar.
"Look at what you've done! Tell me, where did you get this alien army?"
Faced with Thor's interrogation, Loki's expression shifted unpredictably, his eyes darting around as he clearly plotted an escape.
Loki was nothing if not adaptable. With his plan in ruins, his first thought was to find a way out and regroup for another attempt.
Just as Loki was about to concoct a lie to deceive his gullible brother, another sudden change occurred.
"Boom!"
As if struck by a massive force, the entire Stark Tower collapsed, reduced to rubble.
In mid-air, the bald man still floated, his expression unreadable.
This scene once again left everyone in shock.
"No!! My tower!"
Stark yelled, immediately abandoning his pursuit of the Chitauri and flying back to confront Chen Ye.
"Hey! Buddy! What's going on?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Chen Ye said with a smile. "I destroyed it."
Stark was stunned, then demanded, "Why would you do that? Do you have any idea how much that tower meant to me?"
"It seems you still don't understand the situation."
Chen Ye's expression suddenly turned cold as he declared, "From now on, every day, I will destroy one city until I've annihilated this planet and killed every living thing on it!"
His words left everyone speechless.
They all stared at Chen Ye as if he were insane.
What he said was simply too grandiose and exaggerated!
Even Loki was frozen in place.
Even as a villain, he had never entertained such a mad idea!
"Buddy, are you... okay up there?" Stark pointed to his own head. "Do I need to call a mental hospital for you? But even if you're crazy, you're still paying for my tower!"
Seeing that no one believed him, Chen Ye decided it was time to make them face reality.
Although, in truth, he was just bluffing to collect fear points...
(PS: In this Marvel arc, the protagonist will take on a villainous role for the sake of the mission. As the Chapter titles suggest, the protagonist will massacre the Marvel universe. The scenes will be bloody—readers, proceed with caution!)
(PS2: Spoiler alert—keep reading until Chapter 319. Everything the protagonist does will make sense by then!)
