Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

Bucky, sensing something was wrong, was already prepared for a fight when suddenly the wall of the building next to him exploded.

A jawless, crazed minotaur roared as it charged out.

Bucky, who hadn't expected this to happen, watched helplessly as the Minotaur sent the Crossbones flying.

Bucky glanced at the large hole created by Crossbones and Minotaur, then strode off and joked, "Oh, buddy, I guess you'll be busy for a while, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

On the other side, in the ruins of the lobby of a certain building.

With a snap, the minotaur's neck was broken by the crossbones.

The exposed, blood-soaked broken bones were enough to send chills down one's spine.

Crossbones tossed aside the Minotaur's corpse, snorted coldly, and left.

Meanwhile, across the street from where the strange incident occurred, at the police station.

A voluptuous, sexy woman named Doss, dressed in SM attire, was pressing her high heels against the head of the police chief. The chief, covered in whip marks, wore a perverted, abnormal expression, drooling with pleasure, clearly enjoying Doss's punishment.

Nu S tugged at the leather whip in his hand, occasionally lashing it out at the officers controlling the road surveillance cameras ahead. "You swine, get the Winter Soldier here!"

The officers, experiencing both pain and pleasure, suddenly let out a series of abnormal screams.

Soon the Winter Soldier appeared on one of the monitors.

In response, Nu S pulled a cell phone from his private area and contacted Crossbones.

Chapter 215 Zhao Chen: I'm going to be a dad! (Excited)

The world of Sword Art Online.

In order to control the flow of time between the two worlds, Zhao Chen deliberately accelerated the time process here.

In other words, one hour in the Marvel universe is equivalent to one year in the Sword Art Online universe!

A year and a half has passed in the world of Sword Art Online.

In other words, a year and a half has passed in the game.

During the year and a half that followed, Zhao Chen replaced Kayaba Akihiko in establishing the Knights of the Blood Oath and served as its leader.

Of course, this doesn't mean Zhao Chen wants to be the final boss. Rather, he wants to team up with Asuna to conquer the entire Aincrad, a place that everyone both loves and hates, and become a hero to liberate everyone.

Anyway, Zhao Chen had Jarvis modify the game data a year and a half ago.

Players who die will not die in reality, but will wake up.

Although this was not disclosed, all the players trapped in the game believed that death was truly death, so now every player cherishes their life even more.

When Zhao Chen established the Blood Oath Knights guild, Asuna initially refused to join.

However, she later discovered that Zhao Chen was surrounded by more and more women, and the male-female ratio in the guild was seriously unbalanced. When it was almost out of control, Asuna finally couldn't stand it anymore.

She immediately adopted the demeanor of a first wife, sternly rebuking a philandering man who was toying with the feelings of young girls everywhere. She told him to rein himself in, or she would report him to the system for committing indecent acts against multiple underage girls, including herself, and have the NPCs come and arrest him.

A bewildered Zhao Chen hurriedly denied it, saying he didn't do it, he didn't do it, and that Zhao Chen shouldn't talk nonsense.

Then our General Manager Asia, with a friendly but stern face, began to calculate the accounts for him.

Asia asked: What's the deal with Lisbeth?

The money for repairing and upgrading equipment is covered by the fact that they can bring their own materials to forge weapons, all for free. What amazing benefits! How attractive!

The above reasons convinced Asuna, and she could proceed to the next step.

Asia asked: What's the deal with that animal trainer, Loli Silica?

Zhao Chen calmly replied, "Don't let Celia's petite stature and cute appearance fool you; she's actually a very powerful hidden class! See that little dragon she carries with her? It can do aerial reconnaissance, patrolling, assisting in attacks, and even heal! And this is just the dragon in its juvenile stage. Once it levels up and grows up, our Celia will be a complete loli dragon knight! Isn't that awesome enough?"

The above reasons barely convinced Asuna, so we can proceed to the next step.

Asia asked: What about Yuna, who only sings and dances all day and has no fighting ability whatsoever?

Zhao Chen's eyes lit up as he replied: Foolish! You're too short-sighted, Asuna. How can you say such a powerful healer is useless? Just kidding! Don't let Yuna's usual cheerful and bouncing antics fool you. Her singing can buff her teammates! She can even hold the boss's aggro in crucial moments. She's practically invincible, a god-tier healer!

Asuna fully agreed with the above reasons, so we can proceed to the next step.

Asia asked: You passed the three above, so how do you explain this lancer girl named Xing?

Zhao Chen: ...

Facing Asuna, who was smiling as she opened the system's complaint email, Zhao Chen cried out in anguish, "No! Asuna! I've shed blood for the strategy team! I've even taken a knife for you! You can't do this to me! Let me go! Let me go! I need to see Kayaba Akihiko! Let me go—ah~.!"

From then on, Asuna became the vice-commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath.

They were specifically responsible for monitoring and reporting any wrongdoing or misconduct Zhao Chen might commit.

Of course, these are not all the cases.

After all, Zhao Chen still liked Asuna more. His feelings for other girls were all based on affection but remained within the bounds of propriety. At most, he would only pat their heads once or twice.

Jarvis's subroutines can attest to this!

In the past year and a half, aside from some intimacy with Asuna, Zhao Chen didn't have much contact with the other girls. Aside from occasionally visiting Lisbeth for equipment reasons, his only other opportunities to be with these girls were when defeating bosses on different floors.

The fiftieth floor, Alget.

In the original work, Kirito's grandfather's house was located on this floor.

Of course, this place now belongs to Zhao Chen.

In the corridor outside, Zhao Chen was lounging in a rocking chair, basking in the sun and comfortably enjoying the beautiful and peaceful afternoon.

Just then, a salted fish flipped over, and the rocking chair immediately creaked.

The sound was like a system notification, a constant squeaking and creaking.

Ok?

Wait, a system notification sound!?

"What the hell? Sending me a message at a time like this? I'm on vacation!"

Zhao Chen groggily opened his eyes and pulled out the menu with his right hand.

Zhao Chen searched and searched, but after a long time, he still couldn't find out which ghost was sending him messages, which made him quite annoyed.

""Mr. "

Jarvis!?

Zhao Chen, who hadn't contacted Jarvis for over a year, felt a sense of unease upon hearing Jarvis's voice. After all, with Jarvis's strength, even with all his power sealed, this body alone was enough to easily defeat all the boss monsters in Aincrad.

So, in order to fully experience the game and relax, I decided to...

Zhao Chen deliberately ignored the existence of Jarvis's subroutine.

Jarvis's subroutine suddenly contacted me today. What happened?

"What's wrong, Jarvis? What happened?!"

Zhao Chen instantly became solemn and, without saying a word, immersed his mind in the database.

Sailing through the boundless ocean of data, the Jarvis subroutine, like the sun, hangs high above this ocean of data.

"Sir, the 'Mental State Management Support Program' (Li's) in the game's backend system has a serious bug. Would you like to fix it?"

"Wait, what did you say is bugged?"

"Mental state management support program, sir. This is a background AI program responsible for managing and caring for the mental state of the game player community."

Is this thing even useful?

"I'm sorry, sir, this program was forcibly blocked by the original system before the main network could even connect, so it didn't function properly before the system bug occurred."

Zhao Chen understood; it was just a piece of junk software.

It's nothing, you scared me.

"Since this program is useless, let's delete it."

"Yes, sir, ready to delete..."

Just as Zhao Chen was about to exit the database, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, reminding him of a crucial plot point from the original novel! A system bug had occurred: the mental health care program, the AI…

"Damn it, my daughter! Stop Jarvis! Stop right now! Don't delete it!"

Chapter 216 Ding! We've gained a lovely daughter!

Floor 73, maze area, in front of the BOSS's door.

The two major guilds in SAO, the Knights of the Blood Oath and the Holy Dragon Alliance, have gathered here.

Asuna, who serves as the vice president of the Blood Alliance, is still as beautiful as ever.

As for the president of the Holy Dragon Alliance, he is an old acquaintance of everyone's, Tiabel.

"Asuna-san, I'm so glad we can work together again."

"Not at all. If your guild could change its ways, we might have more opportunities to cooperate in tackling bosses."

"Haha, that's a real pity, after all, your Blood Alliance is the one we need to surpass."

Asuna wouldn't say she hated Tiabel, but she could say she disliked him somewhat.
