……
Gwen naturally had no idea what had just happened in that instant.
After discarding Danny Rand's body to the side, she controlled the eight [Hell Spider Spears] like extremely compressed springs, launching herself from the alley.
She landed precisely a hundred meters away, in front of Bullseye, who was fleeing in a panic along the dark corners of the street, where the streetlights couldn't reach.
“Hi, Spider-Lady, we meet again.”
Bullseye's heart tightened, and he abandoned his usual arrogant appearance, praising her with a forced smile:
“Your new look is super cool… um, if I said everything that happened before was a misunderstanding, would you believe me?”
There was no choice; when under the eaves, one must bow one's head.
Who told Bullseye to witness the collective slaughter of the [Defenders]?
He originally thought that with the addition of the [Defenders], taking down Spider-Woman would be too easy.
But who would have thought that these four wastes were so useless despite their appearance?
Where was their ability to bully the small fries of [Hell's Kitchen] on normal days?
Why did they collectively cower when facing Spider-Woman?
As a result, Bullseye, who had been thinking of taking the opportunity to launch another sneak attack, was so frightened that he directly abandoned the mission and prepared to flee.
But the reality was that he couldn't escape this time either.
Whoosh—
Gwen didn't waste any words and directly shot a bloody red spider silk from her wrist, sticking it to Bullseye's body, and the latter's face immediately revealed a look of horror, “Oh, Shit!!”
The next second, several [Hell Spider Spears] pierced through his body.
After confirming that Bullseye was completely dead, Gwen discarded his body on the side of the street like garbage.
“It seems like it's time to leave.”
In order to prevent unnecessary accidents.
After Gwen sensed that the power within her body was beginning to wane, she decisively ended today's slaughter.
And at the same time.
On top of a building in the distance.
A woman wearing a white bodysuit, and using a red scarf to cover her cheeks, was squatting on the glass curtain wall of the building in a strange posture.
That's right.
Squatting there!
She even used only one hand and her feet to firmly fix her entire body to the mirror-like glass curtain wall.
As if she also possessed some kind of Spider-Man-like [electrostatic adhesion field].
And at this moment, all her attention was focused on Gwen.
After witnessing the entire process of Gwen being hunted and then counter-killing, she decisively gave up continuing to track the other party's footsteps, and murmured to herself with burning eyes:
“I didn't expect that the Spider-Man in this universe is an anomaly, no wonder the power of the [Spider Totem] on her body has become so blurred…”
“However, maybe this anomaly will be the key to helping me break the situation in the future!”
Speaking of which, she suddenly crossed her arms in front of her chest, and then emitted a mysterious force from her body, actually tearing a spiderweb-like dimensional rift in mid-air.
Then she leaped into the rift and said expectantly before disappearing:
“Please continue to get stronger, my kind, I will come back to find you in the future!!”
……
A few minutes later.
After Gwen's figure completely disappeared from the block where [Hell's Kitchen] was located.
Several Hand ninjas who had been lying in ambush around the alley, preparing to take the opportunity to sneak attack Gwen, but were too frightened to act, timidly revealed themselves.
They trotted all the way to the alley.
Then they skillfully carried the bodies of Daredevil, Iron Fist and the other four, as well as Bullseye's corpse, from the ground, and then disappeared into the darkness again.
……
The next day.
Inside a secret base of the [Hand].
Bakuto, Madame Gao, Sowande, Murakami—the four [Fingers] gathered together again.
“What, you said the ritual to revive Iron Fist failed?”
Madame Gao looked at Murakami with a face full of surprise, “Did his head suffer severe damage like [Black Sky] Elektra's?”
“No, the body is complete.”
Murakami shook his head with a somewhat complicated expression, and then tried to explain in a way that the others could understand:
“Actually, it can't be said that it was a complete failure… it's just that for some reason, the Iron Fist revived by the [Dragon Bone] has become a vegetable, completely losing his self-awareness.”
Originally, after the [Hand]'s ninjas secretly transported back the bodies of Daredevil and Danny Rand and the other five.
Under Murakami's command, they first performed the “revival” ritual on Danny Rand.
Because the [Hand] now urgently needs to use his “Iron Fist power” to open the sealed wall located below the [Manhattan Financial Building], which is hindering their excavation of the [Dragon Bone].
Otherwise, they might run out of all the [Dragon Bone] in their hands after holding the ceremony to create a new [Black Sky].
At that time, not to mention reviving those important members who were killed.
Even Murakami and others, who are [Fingers], will not be able to continue to use the [Dragon Bone] to prolong their lives and enjoy “eternal life”!
But who would have thought that, unexpectedly, the [Dragon Bone] successfully “revived” Danny Rand, but it seemed to have only revived his body, but not his soul.
As a result, although he now has basic vital signs of a living person such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure.
But he is like a vegetable, in an irreversible permanent coma.
And the [Hand]'s people had never encountered this strange situation before.
“You said…”
At this time, Sowande, who had dark skin, seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said somewhat uncertainly:
“Could it be that the [Dragon Bone] in our hands has been placed for too long and has expired?”
As everyone knows, Mutesa are naturally good at labor, but not good at thinking.
So even if they live longer, this will not change much.
And the other three seemed to have long been accustomed to Sowande's “wise” performance.
With the original intention of helping the mentally handicapped, Murakami immediately denied his guess.
“I have already experimented with my subordinates, the [Dragon Bone] is still effective, the problem is probably still with Iron Fist… no, to be precise, it should be with Spider-Woman.”
“According to my subordinates' narration, Spider-Woman seems to also believe in some kind of ancient demon, and has obtained the power blessed by that demon in this battle.”
Murakami didn't continue.
Because he suddenly thought that since Iron Fist could not be “revived” by the [Dragon Bone], would Daredevil, who was also killed by Spider-Woman, also…
Damn it, if that's the case, then wouldn't their [Hand] be busy for nothing this time?
“It's that damn Spider-Woman again!!”
Madame Gao's wrinkled old face revealed a look of unwillingness after hope was shattered, and she sighed helplessly:
“But if this is the case, then I'm afraid it's useless for us to keep this Iron Fist.”
“It seems that if we want to open the seal underground, we can only continue to wait for the next Iron Fist to appear… I just hope the next one doesn't appear too late!”
The reason why the old lady said this is because under normal circumstances, even if the current Iron Fist is killed, it does not mean that the Iron Fist's inheritance will be interrupted.
Because Shou-Lao, although called the [Immortal Dragon], actually does not refer to a specific dragon.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
But is a title, referring to all the dragons in [Kunlun].
Whenever the current Shou-Lao is killed by the chosen warrior, it will inject its own “Dragon Qi (also called Dragon Soul)” into the other party's body.
Thus giving birth to a new Iron Fist.
At the same time.
A new dragon egg will begin to hatch in the deepest dragon cave in [Dragon City] (another name for [Kunlun]).
Then it will gradually grow into a new Shou-Lao and continue to wait for the challenge of the next Iron Fist.
And the time for this process is not fixed… as short as a few years, as long as decades.
Although the [Fingers], including Madame Gao, know that there are a large number of ready-made dragon bones in [Kunlun], they dare not covet them at all.
There is no way.
Strength does not allow it.
Not only will they not be able to get the [Dragon Bone] when they go back, but they will also lose their lives there.
So the four of them can only hope that the new Iron Fist can appear before their lifespan comes to an end.
At this time, a ninja walked in from the outside and respectfully reported to the four people: “My lords, the sacrificial ceremony is all ready.”
Hearing this, the four people's originally somewhat depressed emotions suddenly cheered up.
If the new [Black Sky] can accept more of the [Beast]'s power, then maybe there is still a chance for the current precarious situation.
After all, the candidate for the carrier this time can be said to be quite perfect.
Then the four people went down the secret passage all the way.
Finally, passing through a passage with walls on both sides piled with skeletons, they came to the ancient altar that the [Hand] specially used to revive the dead.
In this altar, Daredevil's body had already been placed in a stone coffin filled with blood.
On the four walls of this blood coffin, ancient and mysterious runes were written in blood.
Several [Hand] ninjas were throwing the corpses of the teenagers who had been used as sacrifices on the ground, drained of all the blood in their bodies, into a bottomless corpse pit outside the altar like garbage.
That's right.
The Hand's choice of carrier this time was [Daredevil] Matt Murdock.
But this is definitely not their whim.
But because Matt Murdock was actually the perfect carrier that the [Hand] had chosen from the beginning to carry the power of the [Beast].
It's just that, due to the obstruction of Stick and the [Chaste].
They could only settle for the next best thing and choose to create Elektra into a new [Black Sky].
Now, with Gwen's indirect help, they finally got their wish…
“This body has completed all the preparations according to ancient methods, now is the time to start the summoning ceremony.”
After obtaining the permission of the old Gao and all the [Fingers].
He first lit all six candles placed at the corners of the evil hexagram magic circle drawn with blood below the blood coffin.
Then he began to chant a large number of obscure and difficult-to-understand spells.
“Oh, Supreme Ruler served by us, please use the sorcery of the soul to pour your dark power into this body, let him stand up again… in the name of the [Hand]…”
Madame Gao looked at Daredevil lying in the blood coffin, and murmured with a face full of expectation:
“According to the records in the ancient books of Kunlun, when a perfect carrier is found, the powerful primordial demon will descend into this world with the help of this mortal body…”
“For this reason, our [Hand] has conducted countless attempts in the past few hundred years.”
“But the bodies of ordinary people are destined to be too weak to withstand too much power, so the past [Black Skies] are actually not perfect.”
“But this time, we have found the most perfect container, he will serve as the seed to carry dark power, creating a more powerful, more agile, and mastering more dark power [Black Sky].”
Murakami asked worriedly: “But… what if it fails?”
Madame Gao was silent.
But whether it was her or the other three, they actually already had an answer in their hearts.
The future of the [Hand] is all at stake!
If it fails, then I'm afraid their doomsday is not far away.
Soon, the priest finished chanting the spell and immediately ordered the coffin lid, which was also covered with blood runes, to be closed.
The powerful life energy contained in the [Dragon Bone], a large amount of specially cultivated blood, and a near-perfect human container.
The three were soon refined and fused together under the ancient altar, and burst out a powerful and mysterious energy fluctuation that ordinary people could not detect at all.
This energy slowly tore open a small crack leading to a certain hell dimension inside the blood coffin.
Then an evil and powerful consciousness first tentatively poured some power into Daredevil's body.
“Eh?”
But then it seemed to have discovered a new continent, and it actually poured all its consciousness and the creepy dark power into this container that could perfectly adapt to it.
Boom—
The heavy blood coffin was overwhelmed and soon exploded in the impact of the violent energy.
The closest old priest and several unlucky Hand ninjas did not even have time to scream, and the whole person was directly blown into a cloud of blood mist by the sweeping energy turbulence.
Then all of them were sucked into the mouth by the newly reborn Daredevil… no, to be precise, it is the primordial demon [Beast] worshipped by the [Hand] that is now residing in this skin!
“Success?!”
Madame Gao and Murakami, who were standing relatively far away, were also affected, but they successfully resisted with their own power.
Merely.
As their eyes turned eagerly towards the tall figure emerging from the blood mist, they suddenly realized that the situation at hand seemed to far exceed their expectations.
