Not bad. If it can be upgraded to evade the Spider Sense of spiderman, that would be even better.

The final big prize, the Gold Gift Pack.

[Congratulations on receiving the reward: Soul Defense]

Hmm, can I face another bald one now?

Although it's not a direct enhancement to combat power, in the weird and complex Marvel world, this ability is incredibly useful.

Just as I was about to consider how to allocate the remaining 114 attribute points, a tremor suddenly came from behind me.

Alexandra quickly said, "The power in the dragon bone is being absorbed, and the surrounding geological structure will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Manhattan is likely to experience a massive earthquake!"

Cohen was slightly stunned: "Let's go!"

In a tall building far from the Midtown Financial Building, one could barely see the area where Daredevil was fighting the Avengers.

Nick Fury had set up his temporary command center here.

Currently, Daredevil held an absolute upper hand in the battle. He was surrounded by a layer of black energy, making him stronger, faster, and enhancing his radar abilities.

Not only was he handling the battle with Black Widow and others with ease, but he could also dodge sniper bullets from a distance.

Thanks to the snipers, Black Widow and her team were still entangled with him.

Nick Fury had contacted the state government, and the National Guard, with tanks and cannons, was on its way.

He had also ordered some black-tech weapons, which were scheduled to arrive soon.

So, he could sit calmly in his seat, ready to sip some coffee to calm his nerves.

However, when he saw Wade being sent flying again on the monitor, he frowned.

Why did it feel like this demonized Daredevil was much weaker than he had expected? Was he hiding something?

Shaking his head, even though this was an important issue, he had already invested all his forces into defeating Daredevil. The truth would eventually come to light.

He focused intently on the battle, so when the coffee on his desk rippled slightly, he didn't pay much attention.

But soon, he noticed.

The screen in front of him suddenly shook, and his body felt pushed.

"Oh no—"

He looked gravely at the nearby Agent Hill: "Did you feel that?"

Hill had a look of disbelief: "Is... it an earthquake?"

After confirming the answer, Nick Fury cursed angrily: "Mother*ucker!

Why is New York having an earthquake at this time? Is it small or big?"

Hill immediately replied: "I'm contacting the US Geological Survey…"

The tremors grew stronger, and everyone could feel the building shaking!

But the Geological Survey reported that everything was normal.

Nick Fury wanted to scream at them. He was being shaken right now, and they say everything is normal?

Useless bastards!

He could only order all personnel in the command center to evacuate the building.

But the most critical issue was the battle on the plaza. The snipers were already affected.

The National Guard and the weapons he had mobilized might not make it to the scene!

Fuck!

At this moment, Hill reported another terrible issue.

"Director, there have been several unrelated internal conflicts between the agents and police at the first and second defense lines!"

Nick Fury suddenly realized that this might be the thing he had been worried about!

He took a deep breath: "What's going on?"

Hill hesitated: "We've just noticed that several nearby blocks have had more than a dozen similar conflicts!

It's as if some invisible magic is spreading around!

According to observations, members of the Avengers like Mei, Ward, Langlo, and…"

She suddenly stopped, her hand on the comms headset, her face turning pale.

"What's wrong?" Nick Fury had a bad premonition.

"Barton suddenly broke into the first defense line and went on a rampage!

He's already shot seven or eight police officers!"

(Barton is always there to be the the first one to get his brain hijacked?)

"Mother*ucker!"

Nick Fury screamed.

This time, he didn't need the building to shake; he felt dizzy on his own.

Where's my pager? I need to call for backup!

On the seventh floor of the Financial Building, in the meeting room.

The cultists who had been scheming to control the world were now lying all over the floor!

Kingpin leisurely picked up the red devil mask on the ground, not even glancing at the fools.

What kind of trash were they, dreaming of world domination?

Fools who had read too many books!

Beside him, Kiriki chuckled: "These guys, I brought them celebratory wine, and they actually dared to drink it. How naïve!"

Kingpin also laughed but then sighed.

Kiriki was startled: "Boss… What's wrong?"

Kingpin shook his head: "If all my enemies were like these idiots, how great would that be?"

Kiriki thought to himself, such good luck can't happen every day, right?

Kingpin fiddled with the red devil mask: "As long as I put this on, I can control Daredevil?"

"Yes, boss!"

Kingpin picked up the mask and was about to wear it when he suddenly froze, a strange smile on his face: "You wouldn't be lying to me, would you?"

Kiriki shuddered: "Of course not, boss!"

Kingpin stared at his eyes for a while: "Then good!"

When the red devil mask was put on, nothing unusual happened at first.

Both Kingpin and Kiriki let out a sigh of relief.

But soon, a black magical energy suddenly surged from the mask.

It drilled into Kingpin's body like a black serpent, writhing beneath his skin.

"Ugh… ugh…"

He let out a low growl of pain, and Kiliki's eyes widened, confused. What was happening?

Kingpin's huge body collapsed to the ground.

His eyes slowly turned dark.

But soon, he stopped struggling, calmly standing up.

"Boss, are you okay?"

"Swish!"

Kingpin didn't respond and punched out.

Kiriki's head exploded instantly, his body falling limply to the ground.

"Fool!

You didn't tell me it would hurt this much when I put on the mask!"

The building shook unsteadily, and the chairs and tables scraped against the floor, making sharp noises.

He slowly wiped the red and white blood on his hands.

In the distance, the sound of gunfire and explosions suddenly rang out.

It seemed like some chaos was happening.

Under the night sky, sparks scattered in all directions from the Financial Building, gradually spreading out.

If you listened closely, you could hear curses, roars, cries, and groans in the night wind…

Kingpin wore a strange, manic smile: "Haha… the great beast, your power has finally arrived!

We are about to rule this world!"
