Chapter 438: The Lord God's Mission
"My universe? The Marvel Universe?" When the Dark Witch discovered it was the universe she'd once lived in, she felt nothing at all. She simply said it, in a tone close to indifference.
After all, no one she missed was left in that world. To her, it was a dead silence with nothing worth holding on to.
Over the past half year, Wanda had traveled between universes completing the Lord God's missions, yet she had never found a single lead connected to the Marvel world.
She couldn't help suspecting it was because her world was too powerful. Even the Lord God's space was wary of it and wasn't confident it could gain a foothold there.
Wanda really was one of the strongest in the Lord God's space. And among the others at the top were a few from her old universe.
The Dark Doctor's intellect and cunning, Cyborg Iron Man's technology and power, Peter Hulk's ferocity and refusal to break, the Four-Headed Hulk's terror and unpredictability... No one else knew, but she knew all of them came from her universe. That convinced her even more that her Marvel Universe was an exceptionally powerful world, not to be taken lightly.
As much as Wanda didn't want to admit it deep down, she knew her universe held many beings as strong as she was, or even stronger.
That was exactly why the Lord God's space had held off on posting missions in the Marvel Universe.
The Lord God's missions usually came with plunder and slaughter. In a place swarming with powerhouses like the Marvel Universe, a failure would cost the Lord God's space more than anyone could calculate.
So Wanda wasn't surprised that the Lord God's space avoided this universe. She even thought it was the smart thing to do.
What she hadn't expected was for the Lord God's space to suddenly post a mission there now.
Wanda didn't think much of the sudden mission. But she knew it was all fate's arrangement. It was bound to come sooner or later.
Still, if she was going back, she'd have to properly thank "those guys."
The guys who had caused her death. At the thought, the Dark Witch just snorted coldly.
Come to think of it, she owed them thanks. If not for them, she never would have ended up here.
So she decided to send those guys to meet Death, as a "thank-you" for so "kindly" sending her here.
Wanda opened the mission details, and the text unfolded before her eyes, line by line.
[World: The Marvel Multiverse. A vast stage spanning countless galaxies and containing countless parallel universes. Cradle of heroes and villains, where miracles and catastrophes intertwine.]
[Phase One Main Mission: Find "Chen Ye." Chen Ye is a mysterious figure in the Marvel Multiverse. His whereabouts are erratic and his identity ever-changing. Whether he is alive or dead is unknown. Your mission: travel to each universe, gather clues, and ultimately locate Chen Ye and confirm his true identity and location. Only then will Phase Two unlock. Reward on completion: 100,000 points.]
[Side Mission: Massacre Hell's Kitchen. In a hidden corner of the Big Apple lies Hell's Kitchen, an underworld full of sin and darkness. To earn additional points and resources, you must purge every faction in the area. Use your power and wits to bathe Hell's Kitchen in light once more.
For each resident of Hell's Kitchen killed: 10 points. For each superhero or supervillain of Hell's Kitchen killed: 2,000 points.
For each Hell's Kitchen cleared: 20,000 points, distributed by contribution. (The Marvel Multiverse contains multiple universes, and therefore multiple Hell's Kitchens.)]
[There is no cap on rewards for this mission!]
[This mission carries strict restrictions. Killing plot characters outside Hell's Kitchen is prohibited. Each person killed outside Hell's Kitchen: −100 points. Killing superheroes or supervillains outside Hell's Kitchen is forbidden outright, on pain of a severe −10,000-point penalty.]
[WARNING! WARNING! The Marvel Universe is a high-tier universe home to many powerhouses and gods. Participants may not return to the Lord God's space until the mission is complete. All escape-type and death-substitute items are void.]
[The top 100 Reincarnators are required to participate in this mission. No exemption scrolls may be used.]
The Dark Witch found it all rather interesting. The point rewards were very generous.
It looked like this was a mission she'd be taking all the way. Besides, she had no choice. She was one of the top hundred Reincarnators.
So she had to participate.
As soon as Wanda accepted the mission, the Lord God transported her somewhere.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw plenty of familiar faces.
The top hundred Reincarnators didn't really associate, but they'd all crossed paths a few times.
Soon, once the last Reincarnator had been transported in, the Lord God's cold, mechanical voice rang in everyone's minds once more.
This time, though, Wanda sharply noticed that the Lord God's voice seemed different from before. There was a barely perceptible tremor in it, as if signaling that this mission was anything but ordinary.
"The mission begins. Good luck, everyone."
As the Lord God's words faded, the whole space seemed to be switched on by an invisible force. The air filled with the thick smell of blood, a sign of the battles and slaughter to come. The Hell's Kitchen massacre had begun.
