Kate Beckinsale sat limply on the bed, a stern expression on her face, staring directly at Xu Fu. Xu Fu shrugged, shook his head, and explained.

“I really don’t want to save you, but I have to find someone to guide me in saving Blade, and I have to find Marcus, and Dracula has to be killed, so I’m in a bit of an awkward position…”

Kate Beckinsale is beautiful, but Xu Fu was not distracted when he was rescuing her. The storm blew Kate Beckinsale into the main building lobby, and the missile had already flown out of the window. Xu Fu was unable to snatch the blade from Dracula's hand, so he resolutely chose the person who was closest to him and most likely to be rescued.

“You and I have plenty of time to stay in the fight. I don’t want your injuries to hold me back. We don’t have time to rest here; it’s hard to say whether that Blade is dead or alive….”

Chapter 547 Fading Faith

"Actually, I don't understand either. We don't know the truth of these words, but annihilation did happen. Right after the Phoenix Force awakened, it descended into this universe with an extremely special power."

With a slight doubt, Michelangelo continued to express his inner thoughts: for people of their level, destruction was still a terrifying god, unattainable. This was not at the level of a new god or an old god, but a creator god above gods, the most primordial core energy, capable of freely traversing countless universes and rewriting what they wanted to do to humanity and all kinds of life.

"Then why didn't he just kill Gretchen?"

Xu Fu raised another question: if Annihilation was really that afraid of the Phoenix Force, he should have killed Gretchen directly. There was no reason to spare the life of the Phoenix Force's heir. The Sorcerer Supreme shook his head. Perhaps only Annihilation himself knew the answer to this question. Of course, there was another interesting matter concerning Annihilation.

"Annihilation, though possessing the most powerful force among the creator gods, is also the most timid being in the entire universe. He fears all the terrifying elements he conjures, including the image of the Phoenix Force. He dares not appear before any life form and is the most mysterious of the creator gods. Actually, I'm quite curious how you activated the Phoenix Force when he was incomplete. With the activation of the Phoenix Force in 073..."

"Um... I mean, I don't know if you believe me."

He assured the deceased Phoenix that he would never speak of what had happened until the universe was rewritten. Michelangelo scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, exchanged a glance with the Sorcerer Supreme, and asked no further questions. The Sorcerer Supreme then summoned a gem that flew to Xu Fu.

"This is the last time I'll help you, Xu Fu. No matter what Annihilation really intends to do, it will ultimately destroy this world, because every world Annihilation fears ends up like this. Cherish this moment; perhaps the one we are in now will be an exception..."

As if anticipating something, Xu Fu scratched his head, feeling he should talk about something realistic, because some things couldn't be relied on, such as the Infinity Gauntlet and the Heart of the Universe. These things were unattainable, and the Sorcerer Supreme's ideas were too naive.

“Hoo… Sorcerer Supreme, I know you want to know, but these things are in the past. I can tell you directly, if Annihilation really wants to destroy this universe,… no one can stop it. Stop it.”

Michelangelo and the Grand Magician both exchanged knowing smiles, as if they knew something even Xu Fu didn't, and then asked him with a puzzled look.

"That's not necessarily true. Annihilation may be timid, but he's not an ignorant fool. He dares to conduct experiments on Earth. Xu Fu, what do you think he's afraid of!"

"..."

Annihilation is cowardly, but he clearly shouldn't be cowardly to this extent. Xu Fu couldn't answer Michelangelo's question because he knew nothing about annihilation; merely mentioning the word seemed to cloud his memory. The highest magician offered a metaphor...

"It's like a snake. If it doesn't have a triangular head, then it's not venomous. Even if you get bitten, you'll only feel pain and fear. But if the snake in front of you has a triangular head..."

"I do not know anything."

What makes Annihilation afraid? Xu Fu shook his head with a bitter smile. He really didn't know the reason. He only knew that the warriors were coming. Counting the years, there were still eighteen years left. Warriors from another universe were about to come to this universe. The warriors from this universe were already dead, killed by Phoenix. Even the change of time couldn't seem to revive him.

The pearl was placed in Xu Fu's hand, and the Supreme Master explained its purpose to him.

"Find the Leopard God, release this bead in front of him, and the power of faith will be completely integrated. You can let the Leopard God go, but he has lost the support of the power of faith and he won't live for long. Of course, you can also choose to absorb him. It's very simple. Just swallow the bead and let it become a part of your body. Actually, I hope you choose the first option no matter what. The Leopard God is one of the few spiritual beings on Earth that survived the monster era. He is much better than those gods with huge bodies."

"The Age of Monsters?"

"An era older than the age of dinosaurs, where the animal gods of the earth were omnipresent..."

As he uttered the last words, Xu Fu raised his eyebrows in response. The senior magician seemed to shake his head excitedly, raised his hand, and Xu Fu could still hear the echo in his ears. The surrounding scene changed again, and Xu Fu reappeared in front of the museum. The tearing wind swept across his dog head on the ground, and he spat out...

"Xu Fu, whether you tap it or not, you haven't steamed it for five minutes."

The thing in his own pants pocket bothered him; he sensed it was a gemstone. Xu Fu smiled happily, looked down at the pole, and replied...

"Take me back to Wakanda, and my problem will be solved!"

In the dark cave, the Leopard God was licking his wounds when a surge of energy appeared. A familiar scent made the Leopard God get up and leave the cave. Xu Fu and the dog appeared in the Leopard God's sight, but before the Leopard God could ask Xu Fu's purpose, the gem emitted a black, eerie light, and the Leopard God's beastly face twisted into a very human-like shape.

"Roar..."

As the ethereal threads wrapped around the Black Panther God, Xu Fu's body began to emit a multitude of sounds, resembling the resounding echoes of countless Wakandan subjects—sounds of prayer and supplication. Xu Fu's eardrums ruptured, and blood gushed out. The struggling Black Panther God could not break free from the black threads' restraints. Because his body and Xu Fu's body were connected by the black threads, the echoes began to flow continuously between them.

Xu Fu saved Wakanda's first king. Actually, the concept of a king didn't exist then; there were only tribal chiefs. However, that tribal chief was indeed the ancestor of the Chaka family, so calling him the first king was not unreasonable. Faith began from that time. In a sense, the Black Panther armor actually formed a cycle; the kings of Wakanda all wore it according to Xu Fu's memories. This suit created its own original armor, passed down through generations, and is related to modernity...

As the fluctuations of faith began to connect the two parts, the black panther's struggles grew increasingly intense. It seemed to sense the pearl's power, hissing incessantly as it tried to break free, but all in vain, for the powers of faith resonated once more, and the faith power within Xu Fu was absorbed by the pearl.

Chapter 548 Merger Results

"Xu Fu?"

When she returned wearily to her fortress after a day of reconnaissance, Kate Beckinsale opened the door to find a pair of golden eyes glowing in the darkness, the air thick with the smell of testosterone, and someone calling her name uncertainly.

"I need as much sedative as possible."

When she turned on the light, she saw Xu Fu's grim expression. His shirt was torn in two, revealing a black panther tattoo on his chest. A chill ran down Kate Beckinsale's spine: the moment she closed her eyes to the tattoo, she imagined herself being stared at by a wild animal or a hungry black panther.

Kate Beckinsale nodded quickly, because the location was close to the hospital. She turned and walked away quickly, not because she wanted to listen to Xu Fu, but because Kate Beckinsale saw the expression on Xu Fu's face, as if he was really enduring, enduring not to be eaten alive.

"Supreme Magician...you didn't say that using this bead would have this effect....-.."

After being escorted back to the fortress by Stolbnyak, Xu Fu immediately thanked Stolbnyak for buying him two pounds of ham. He then pushed Stolbnyak away, sat on the sofa, and after thinking for a moment, decided to swallow the bead. He didn't know if this meant it had become a part of his body, but it was definitely more beneficial than harmful.

The burning sensation ignited all of Xu Fu's blood. As soon as the bead was swallowed, his pulse immediately rose to 200, and a black panther tattoo appeared on his chest.

Sitting on the sofa, trying to remain calm, although it was obvious that reason was beginning to calm his body, which was as frenzied as lightning between animals, with the roars of beasts echoing in his ears, and veins bulging all over his body, he appeared in front of Xu Fu with the look of Kate Beckinsale ready to explode.

Kate Beckinsale filled three bags with sedatives, which were apparently collected from the entire hospital at once. She pulled them out and injected them one by one into Xu Fu's arm. Xu Fu didn't need any orders; Kate Beckinsale knew what to do.

How did you get into this predicament?!

Xu Fu looked very strange, and Kate Beckinsale couldn't quite put her finger on it. In any case, he exuded an inhuman aura. Vampires have very sharp noses, and she could clearly sense Xu Fu's entire body. Not only was his body abnormal, but the sweat emanating from him was also peculiar.

Taking a deep breath, not worrying about Kate Beckinsale, Xu Fu closed his eyes and adjusted his body. The sedative was still taking effect. With the large dose of unconditional injection, Xu Fu gradually felt a chill. His hot blood gradually returned to normal. Xu Fu's body felt as if he had fallen into a deep icy lake. A groan came from his comfortable state.

craning his neck, Xu Fu asked loudly.

What have you investigated?

"There is no news about either Blade or my family, just like Dracula disappeared into thin air with them."

"Vampires have the ability to hypnotize and brainwash, right?"

"I'm not sure, because nobody knows what Dracula's abilities are."

"Thank you."

Xu Fu made a brief inquiry into Kate Beckinsale's two-day absence, but received no results. This did not surprise him. Dracula was not an easy creature to deal with. Even if Kate Beckinsale faced him, what difference would it make? The best outcome would be to turn Kate Beckinsale into Dracula's mincemeat.

Kate Beckinsale, who was fast asleep, also noticed Xu Fu's physical symptoms. She raised her eyebrows in confusion. Wasn't she in a state of wanting to eat herself but ending up like this? What a strange person. She shook her head and left the room. Anyway, she didn't want to think about it anymore. At this moment, she and Xu Fu were working together perfectly. He was a strong person who could help her take revenge.

“Marcus was originally imprisoned in the old mansion of the Kovinus family, which is an underground place. His coffin was sealed so that all the sinners of the Dark Council would never see it. If Victor really wanted Marcus to be sealed away safely forever, he would put him in the place where the most elite warriors of the Death Legion also lived.”

Kate led Xu Fu through the deep mountains and forests. The sky was still clear, but the sunlight was too strong, and the forest was pitch black. Xu Fu found that his eyes adapted remarkably well; the Leopard God's power seemed to be a real advantage. However, the sight of that woman made him stumble. He had to constantly imagine things, and if he noticed anything amiss, he would immediately take sedatives, or large doses of sedative pills, swallowing them like candy.

I didn't sense any other changes from the Devouring Black Panther God, but there was a slight increase in strength and speed, and that was all. I followed Kate, tilting my head to look down at her from her neck, stammering.

· ·Request flowers 0 ·········

“That’s a great idea. Finding Marcus, who gave birth to vampires, might be more beneficial than us searching blindly.”

The words had barely left his lips when Xu Fu heard footsteps—not his or Kate's. Sharp claws shot out from between his fingers, a spear flew from the bushes, and Xu Fu ripped it apart. A figure leaped out—a ferocious vampire, baring its fangs at a tree and hissing at Xu Fu and Kate. Its eyes glowed red, unlike those of an ordinary vampire. Before Kate and Xu Fu could react, a cheetah about two feet long appeared beside Xu Fu. Before Kate and Xu Fu could act, the cheetah, about two meters long, caught up with the vampire, bit his shoulder, pinned him to the ground, and chewed him up.

0 .... ...

"Did you summon this animal?!"

Xu Fu could clearly feel the cheetah's heartbeat. It was a living, breathing energy being that used its own body's energy as a vessel for existence. He quickly removed the black panther's armor, lifted his clothes, and looked at his chest. His chest had been slightly cold just moments before. His doubts were now answered; the black panther's tattoos had disappeared.

"Well... if I said he was a god, you would believe me..."

Kate rolled her eyes, glanced at Xu Fu disdainfully, picked up her twin pistols, and ran towards the Corvinus family mansion. Now that the vampires in front of her had been destroyed by Dracula, the Corvinus family's situation might be even worse. She had to get there as soon as possible to see if she could rescue Marcus.

Xu Fu followed closely behind him, and the black panther walked beside him, following his thoughts like a large dog following its master, not like a puppet. Xu Fu gradually felt a sense of joy in this anxious and lonely life. Drifting on the endless ocean, Xu Fu couldn't be with any woman for long, because he couldn't hold her hand in the unknown future. Most importantly, Xu Fu didn't believe love was eternal; he felt there was no need to carve a name for any woman in his heart. He felt there was no need to carve a name for any woman in his heart. Now, having a pet that was one with his body seemed very pleasant.

Chapter 549 Shared Life Forms

This bead seems to have its own information. As the black panther followed Xu Fu through the forest, some memories resurfaced in Xu Fu's mind. This bead is called the Ghost Bead, an item used in other worlds to capture spirit beasts. It is not of a very high level, but it is not very common either.

In the various environments of the universe, there are self-exposed worlds, also known as shadow worlds. These worlds may not all be connected, but they may increase in scale. There is a life form called energy matter, or so-called spirit beasts. The energy of these life forms generates self-awareness and transforms into the common life form of all shadow worlds.

Although he didn't know where the Sorcerer Supreme obtained the Phantom Stone, Xu Fu was still somewhat worried. He vaguely remembered that in a past world, when this assassin was about to invade Earth, Doctor Strange sent him into this world, saying that his mentor, the Sorcerer Supreme ("073"), had been killed by Doctor Strange himself. The reason his mentor was killed was that his soul had been corrupted by shadow magic, and that a sorcerer must never come into contact with shadow magic and use it easily.

The black panther was torn apart into a vampire, possibly because Xu Fu had captured not a spirit beast, but a true beast god. Its power exceeded his memory's expectations. Whether it possessed other abilities remained to be seen; he would need to develop them himself. The pearl's inherent memory seemed self-evident; using and enhancing the black panther's life form was no different from that of a spirit beast. In truth, Xu Fu was genuinely curious whether the black panther had ever truly considered the concept of godhood...

With the vampire's strength and speed, even in turbulent conditions, Black Panther could easily track them down. They traversed the forest to reach the Kovinus family's old mansion, Black Panther dealing with over a dozen vampires along the way, allowing Xu Fu and Kate to arrive at their destination effortlessly.

"It seems we're still too late..."

Corpses lay everywhere, almost all of them vampires and werewolves. The rotting scene on the battlefield was clearly very tense, but Dracula shouldn't be using werewolves. Kate frowned and became more vigilant, cautiously approaching the gate. Suddenly, a wolf howl rang out, and the cougar dropped the vampire corpse in front of it and ran towards Xu Fu.

"Lu Shan!"

A thin, shirtless, hairy man emerged from the woods, staring angrily at Kate. Kate called out his name, brandishing two guns at her opponent, and as he drew near, hundreds of eyes lit up the dark woods.

"Kate Beckinsale... I didn't expect Victor to leave a spark at the end!"

The man named Lu Shi'an spread his arms wide. His eyes were extremely aggressive, with a provocative expression. He didn't look at a woman with the critical gaze of a man, but rather with an aura of wanting to trample life underfoot.

"You will be killed by me sooner or later, and I will pierce your heart with a longsword filled with mercury!"

Kate's ruthless provocation left Xu Fu speechless. How much hatred must there be for a vampire who also fears mercury to want to use mercury to pierce a werewolf who also fears mercury? He looked curiously at Lu Chen, another person who was proficient in werewolf control. His expression was not good, which was consistent with his style of friendship.

"Xu Fu!"

Stepping forward and extending his hand in introduction, the black panther didn't push him away, but the sharp claws between its fingers retracted. Lu Chen looked at Xu Fu in surprise. At first, he thought Xu Fu was Case's subordinate, but now it seemed his judgment was wrong; Kyle appeared to be leading this man.

"people?".

Looking around, Xu Fu felt that his body didn't smell as bad as a vampire's; the sweet smell was almost the same as a human's. Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow, grinned, shook hands with Xu Fu, and introduced himself.
