American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

Endless darkness and death energy converged on one location. In the depths of darkness and deathly silence, there was a huge egg of death energy, with rolling death energy surging. It seemed as if billions of dead beings were wailing on it, and countless god-level undead were roaring. It seemed to be the convergence of all death in the world.

Suddenly, from beyond the dimension, the vast cosmic power was drawn in and began to surge wildly toward that egg of death.

Cosmic power is the purest and most refined energy in the world. It is an energy that can only be used on a large scale by beings at the single-level or above. The cosmic energy that has descended at this moment even surpasses that of the Celestials and exceeds the total amount of energy that a normal single-level being can generate at birth.

A vast torrent of cosmic energy continuously washed over the giant egg, which was filled with deathly energy at that moment.

One by one, the heads of god-level undead were shattered, and new god-level undead heads were quickly born, continuing to devour and resist the onslaught of cosmic energy.

One minute, ten minutes... one hour, ten hours...

Finally, the vast and boundless cosmic energy ceased its scouring.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A pounding heartbeat resounded, and the next moment, a hand, a huge hand, suddenly emerged from the egg of death, and then with a sudden force, tore the entire egg of death to shreds!

At this moment, Thanos, whose overall appearance was a peculiar gray-white, stepped out from within.

Looking at his gray hands and feeling the surging, vast energy within him, Thanos wore a faint smile.

"What an exciting power this is!"

"I have now completely surpassed Dormammu!"

"It's time to appease death!"

"Locke, you, and the universe you inhabit, will be the most perfect gift I can offer to death!"

.........

Marvel Earth, New York City, Avengers Headquarters.

"Everyone, let me introduce you to a new Avenger!"

Natasha clapped her hands, drawing the attention of all the Avengers, and solemnly introduced 10 to them.

As the crowd peered over with slightly curious eyes, Natasha quickly turned around, revealing the person who had been standing behind her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, an elite sorcerer of Kamar-Taj and a disciple of the Sorcerer Supreme!"

Dressed in a sorcerer's outfit, Doctor Strange, exuding an air of mystery, greeted everyone with a listless expression.

Captain Steve stepped forward and bumped fists with Doctor Strange: "Buddy, we've all heard of the Sorcerer Supreme's reputation."

The Avengers in this universe are not ignorant; influenced by Hellfire, their understanding of mystical knowledge is arguably unparalleled among all Avengers in every universe.

They were well aware of the power of that Sorcerer Supreme; he was one of the few beings who could drink tea and converse on equal terms with Hellfire.

Dr. Hulk greeted Doctor Strange, saying, "Dude, you must be really strong, considering you're that guy's disciple!"

Natasha smiled slightly: "Doctor Strange is a first-rate fighter! Moreover, he's considered quite powerful even among first-rate fighters!"

Upon hearing this, the Avengers present became much more enthusiastic. Top-tier on the ground—this was true military-level combat power. The entire Avengers didn't have many of these now, and adding even one would be like adding a top-tier combatant to the Avengers!

Tony Stark, noticing Doctor Strange's listless appearance, asked curiously, "Dude, didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you seem so tired?"

Doctor Strange's face showed a complicated expression. He seemed to want to say something, but he just sighed and shook his head. "Sorry, it's nothing. Just give me some time to adjust."

Tony Stark wasn't stupid; he obviously wouldn't be fooled by such a reason. He looked at Natasha curiously, but Natasha only gave him an awkward yet polite smile, resolutely refusing to say what the real situation was.

Tony Stark grew increasingly curious, his gaze sweeping around before settling on Spider-Woman, who was huddled in a corner watching the show.

"Gwen, what's going on?"

Spider-Woman looked somewhat embarrassed and hesitant, unsure whether she should speak.

Seeing that things were looking promising, Tony Stark quickly said, "Gwen, you know I'm responsible for the entire Avengers. I need to figure out some things, otherwise it would be a big problem if this caused any serious issues."

Spider-Woman quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, it's not that exaggerated."

She glanced up at Doctor Strange, who was still in a daze, and then spoke in a deliberately low voice.

"Actually, it was this Doctor Strange who was competing with another sorcerer. The winner could stay in Hellfire and become a Hellfire member, while the loser was pulled back by Sister Natasha."

Tony Stark's face twitched; he never expected it to be for this reason.

Such a powerful, top-tier mage was actually a failed, inferior product.

No wonder he had that deadpan look on his face. If he had the potential to become a Hellfire and failed in the competition, he would probably be so angry that he would explode on the spot. Doctor Strange only had that deadpan look on his face, which shows that he has a relatively strong tolerance for anger.

"However, top-tier combat power only qualifies for the competitive ranking system. Has the threshold for Hellfire reached this level now?"

Spider-Woman looked at Tony Stark with a strange expression.

Tony Stark felt a little awkward: "Gwen, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Mr. Tony, don't you know?"

"The minimum requirement for Hellfire to become a sequence member is now 300 combat power."

"Hiss!" Tony Stark gasped. 300 combat power—that was the combat power of the Abomination who caused the great chaos back then. Now, it was actually the entry requirement for competing for the Hellfire Sequence!

"That's not right. If that's the case, then you and Natasha, who have been enjoying privileges equivalent to the Hellfire Sequence..."

Spider-Woman's gaze became even stranger: "Mr. Tony, don't you know that Natasha and I have already reached a combat power of 800?"

? ? ? ?

Tony Stark stared in disbelief at the slender, graceful young woman before him.

800 combat power!! Claimed to be comparable to a nuclear bomb!

Just how much delicious food did you two eat?!

You have to understand, even though he's been working himself to the bone every day to invent and upgrade, he's only managed to get a combat power of just over 90, not even close to being a top-tier player.

Tony Stark fell into deep thought for a moment. So, does that mean beautiful women can do whatever they want?

Compared to the added value of a beautiful woman, he, the world's most brilliant mind, seemed utterly worthless.

“Speaking of which, should I adopt a pretty little girl as my goddaughter, train her into a superheroine, and then find a way to send her to Hellfire?” A bold idea suddenly popped into Tony Stark’s mind.

After greeting the Avengers, Doctor Strange, still reeling from his defeat in the competition, forced himself to cheer up.

"Gentlemen, there is something I must tell you."

He held up a sorcerer's eye-shaped artifact from his chest. This was not the Eye of Agamotto, which held the Time Stone, but rather the Eye of the Warlock, another artifact with similar effects from Kamar-Taj.

"This is the Eye of the Warlock, a superior artifact of Kamar-Taj. It is said to have been made in imitation of the supreme treasure, the Eye of Agamotto. It was personally given to me by my teacher, the Sorcerer Supreme. When he gave it to me, it contained a special message, which should have originated from a message that occurred on a certain timeline."

"I don't know why the teacher would leave something like this, but since the teacher deliberately left it for me to see, it might have some special meaning. I want you all to take a look."

Everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued.

Doctor Strange didn't waste any words. He activated the Eye of Sorcery, and instantly, images appeared in mid-air.

War, a war that engulfs an entire city, with countless strange-looking life forms descending from the sky to launch an indiscriminate attack on New York, advanced laser weapons, personal aircraft, and... that terrifying steel dragon that blots out the sky!

This is a scene from the Battle of New York in Avengers: Endgame.

The Avengers stared in a daze at the spectacular special effects in front of them.

Soon, the footage of the Battle of New York was completely played.

There was a moment of silence at the scene.

Thor spoke first: "That's definitely not our timeline. Loki is still taking classes in Asgard. That idiot has to read five hours of notes on past kings every day. It's so miserable." As he spoke, Thor couldn't help but laugh.

The old father placed the heavy responsibility of being king on Loki's head, which was incredibly enjoyable for him. He could drink and fight all he wanted, without having to worry about anything else. He could have it as good as he wanted.

Everyone's lips twitched; they didn't know how to comment on this Thor who, despite being stripped of his throne, was smiling like a husky.

"This should be another timeline. The Avengers in that timeline are similar to us, but their strength is far inferior to ours."

"Furthermore, if the alien soldiers inside attack us, our Avengers team can easily suppress and crush those guys."

"However, the Sorcerer Supreme would never do something meaningless."

Tony Stark, who was deep in thought, suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

"I know, it's time! Time!"

"What if something like this happened in another Avengers timeline? What if we encounter similar problems here at the same time?"

"We are stronger, but perhaps our opponents are stronger too!"

"This is exactly what the Supreme Master wanted to remind us of!"

Immediately, everyone present couldn't help but show surprise.

The bald-headed man suddenly stood up, grabbed a communicator, and roared, "Immediately, right now, check the energy changes throughout New York City, paying special attention to high-intensity energy reactions!"

"Chief, we have it! It's above the Stark Industries!"

The bald-headed man instantly looked at Tony Stark!

Tony Stark instantly donned his armor: "Avengers, let's go!"

When all the Avengers arrived at Stark Tower, the sight they saw left them speechless.

A portal is currently activated, from which terrifying, decaying deathly aura continuously seeps out, corroding steel and killing vegetation wherever it passes.

Not only that, but one by one, individuals who looked like zombies emerged from it. They were similar to the enemies in the Battle of New York, except that they had all become like zombies. More importantly, each of these guys was releasing an aura of at least the third-rate level!

Every soldier is a truly extraordinary life form!

If that was merely astonishing, then the person guarding the portal entrance, replacing that weak Loki, was enough to make the Avengers' expressions change.

There were two guards at the portal: a strange blue-skinned alien woman and a burly, stone-like alien life form.

Most importantly, both of them are very strong, extremely strong!

Just by standing there, a powerful aura surged in all directions, making no attempt to conceal its immense power!

At the same time, Spider-Woman's solemn voice rang out.

"999! Combat power has reached 999! Two top-tier limits!"

"Fuck, this is way, way more powerful than what's shown on screen!"

"But that's powerful!" With a roar, Thor, wielding Mjolnir, charged forward first.

The others followed suit: "Let's go too! We have to stop these guys!"

A great battle erupted in an instant!

Meanwhile, at Hellfire Headquarters.

The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, and Ilúvatar, the creator god, were sitting face to face.

"With the disciple you deliberately sent there, Lord Gu Yi, they should be able to resolve that battlefield."

Gu nodded, then shook his head.

“That’s just a small battlefield. I never worry about those. Besides, with my hints, they’ll be easier to deal with.”

"What I'm really worried about is an even bigger battlefield!"

Gu Yi suddenly looked up at the void, her gaze seemingly traversing countless spaces, overlooking the entire Nine Kingdoms.

At this moment, the entire Nine Kingdoms were under attack, a terrifying war that far surpassed the small battlefield in New York!

This is a true galactic-scale war!

"Has Lord Locke not returned yet?" the Ancient One couldn't help but ask.

The creator goddess Ilúvatar shook her head: "Not yet. We must rely on our own abilities, and at the very least, hold on until he returns."

"Everything else is negotiable, but I'm worried about one thing: since the other side has launched a full-scale war, they must have absolute confidence in winning or losing. And in that respect, no amount of troops can compare to a top-tier fighting force!"

"If a top-tier combatant of single-unit or higher level appears..."

Almost instinctively, the Ancient One and Ilúvatar looked in one direction: a corner of the table, where a little creature was lying on it.

Sensing their gazes, Ghidorah the Star Eater suddenly opened its golden eyes, a fleeting glint of excitement and savagery flashing across them.

The nine kingdoms are said to have taken root in the world, but the so-called World Tree has never truly appeared. The World Tree is more like a legend, though it may also be hidden in other dimensions.

And today...
