Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

Chapter 83 The Eleventh Apostle, Ozma of Chaos!

League of Legends headquarters, president's office.

After his vacation ended, Zhao Chen threw himself back into work.

Most things were basically delegated to Aizen Monosuke, who was left to handle things as he saw fit.

Only when a branch manager is replaced, or when a super dragon-level disaster occurs, will the matter be reported to Zhao Chen for his personal decision.

"So, in such a short time, you've received so much intelligence that requires my judgment?"

"That's right, there has been great chaos and disaster in both the African and European branches. Please make a judgment, Boss."

Rubbing his temples, Zhao Chen was quite troubled by the turbulent state of the Marvel universe.

Although it seems that this is inextricably linked to me.

Aside from the 'Special Summon' that Tornado received, it seems like everyone else had incredibly bad luck.

He casually opened the intelligence report from the European branch of Lion King. After glancing at the problems and details described, Zhao Chen roughly understood that a very troublesome disaster had occurred there.

If I remember correctly, the main personnel stationed at the European branch are: Lion King, Artoria, Joan of Arc, Grandis, Hassan the Hundred-Faced, and a bunch of miscellaneous D-rank heroes.

The question raised by Artoria in The Lion King is: in some areas of Europe, a peculiar creature has been vaguely discovered.

In appearance, they seem to be no different from humans, only revealing their human form when attacking people.

Ordinary people simply cannot distinguish them; only the Lion King, Joan of Arc, and Grandis could.

"An imposter, huh..."

This is not due to the influence of the weirdo factor, but rather it must be due to some kind of curse.

Of the twelve apostles in Genesis, the eleventh apostle is Ozma, the demon of chaos who died and rose again.

The demon realm may not have found Earth's coordinates yet, but the 'blood curse' released casually has affected the stability of the European region.

"A disguised person?"

Aizen Monosuke asked, puzzled.

As a strategist, he was indeed far superior to Zhao Chen, but in terms of knowledge and experience, he was far inferior to Zhao Chen.

“That’s right. They are under the ‘blood curse’ of the apostles. Although they look no different from humans, their hearts have been possessed by demons. This group is collectively known as the ‘Impersonators’.”

"There are rumors that werewolves, vampires and other creatures in human mythology are all variants of imposters."

"Those who are attacked by imposters will also become imposters themselves, and imposters usually target the people closest to them, such as family and friends."

"Because it is impossible to distinguish between imposters and humans by appearance alone, people began to suspect and distrust each other, even to the point of betraying one another. This led to countless tragedies, and the human world was once plunged into a vortex of chaos and suspicion."

Zhao Chen began to slowly explain the terrifying nature of this curse.

In the early stages of the 'Blood Curse' infection, there may not be any attacks on people. However, after a buffer period of about two months, the imposters will grow to maturity and begin attacking others, expanding the area where the curse spreads.

Imposters crave blood; drinking human blood will fuel their growth.

Although the Lion King was only recently discovered and this proposal was submitted.

However, Zhao Chen suspected that the Blood Curse had already descended upon the European region a month before the appearance of the Twelve Apostles of Genesis.

Fortunately, other divisions have not received similar intelligence.

Without a branch in Europe, the Lion King, Joan of Arc, and Grandis would not have noticed anything amiss. By the time the Blood Curse fully erupted, the entire European region would likely have become a den of imposters.

Even if an ordinary imposter is only at the level of a wolf-level disaster, there are about a billion people in the whole of Europe.

Not to mention the elite imposters among them, who can even advance to tiger-level disasters. Even if they are one in ten thousand, there are still a total of one hundred thousand of them.

At that point, either nuclear bombs will be used to devastate the area, or the entire European continent will have to be sunk to prevent the virus from spreading to other regions. "This kind of creature is indeed very troublesome; ordinary heroes simply cannot distinguish it." After listening to Zhao Chen's explanation, Aizen Monosuke's expression gradually became serious.

Although I was somewhat prepared, a deeper understanding revealed the sheer terror of this creature, necessitating its immediate eradication. (Please give me some flowers.)

"To identify imposters, one either needs super intuition, special abilities, or the capacity to sense soul energy." "However, the simplest method is... to become a priest!"

"With holy light, a sacred energy, one can easily distinguish imposters hidden among the crowd." Grandis possesses the strength of an awakened 'Evangelist'.

As the guild leader, Zhao Chen possesses the power of a second-awakened 'Seraphim,' so he can easily distinguish who is an imposter. "A Cleric?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about those kinds of supernatural tricks," Zhao Chen said. "I mean a profession that combines combat, healing, exorcism, and demonic transformation."

"But regarding the selection of personnel..."

"That's easy. Aren't there many churches in Europe?"

"Let Joan of Arc speak, for example, that God will send down glory and make a group of people God's agents."

"Then, Grandis, a senior clergyman, began to gather and train a new generation of clergymen, weeding out some miscellaneous believers, only those who were loyal to God." "They didn't expect them to have combat power in the short term, as long as they could extract a trace of holy light, it would be enough to distinguish imposters." "Moreover, without mature imposters, their combat power is not much different from that of ordinary people."

Regarding the question about the European branch, Zhao Chen thought for a moment and then gave a reasonable answer.

This can be seen as a disguised expansion of the European branch's influence, as the addition of a group of priests is equivalent to the addition of a large number of D-rank heroes.

Moreover, they possess absolute faith in the gods and are willing to sacrifice their lives.

As for the gods... those are just made up. They're mostly Grandis and Joan of Arc. If all else fails, Zhao Chen can just pretend to be a god himself, and that'll be enough to gain a large number of die-hard believers. "It's all recorded. This plan will be sent to the European branch shortly."

"……"Mountain.

Chapter 84 Wakanda vs. Noxus!

"And then...? Is the African branch next?"

After resolving the issues with the European branch, Zhao Chen turned to the second document, which came from Yugi Muto, the head of the African branch.

If I remember correctly, the entire African region is in complete chaos right now.

The Noxian Legion's violent conquest garnered support from a host of government resistance forces, who joined forces to rule half of Africa through bloodshed and slaughter.

On the other hand, T'Challa, who lost his father and became the next Black Panther to inherit the throne, also vowed to avenge his father and resolutely declared war on Noxus.

However, even with technology a level above, Wakanda still couldn't withstand Noxus's high-end combat power.

Left with no other option, Wakanda and the League of Legends Africa division formed an alliance agreement, "Zero 83," to jointly fight against the unbridled Noxus.

The situation was initially evenly matched, but that balance was quickly broken. "So, how did the Monster Association end up working with Noxus?"

"As long as there are sufficient interests and a common enemy, an alliance can be easily formed," Aizen Sousuke said calmly.

The alliance between the Monster Association and Noxus has put the African branch at a complete disadvantage.

The African division's high-end combat capabilities were already in a precarious position in the match against Noxus.

Only S-class hero Yugi Muto, A-class hero Garen (Ares), and B-class hero Child Emperor… To be precise, he should be called an A-class hero, since he has an alliance with Wakanda and Child Emperor should require a thousand tons of vibranium to create the 'Vibranium' whose blueprints have already been drawn up. The Dreadnought shouldn't be a problem.

However, Noxus alone has two Dragon-level and nine Demon-level combatants.

The African branch's Dragon-level (A) combat power is about the same, but in terms of Demon-level (B) combat power, it is far inferior, and it can even be said that it is completely unable to restrain them.

Black Panther, after consuming the Heart-Shaped Herb, possesses combat strength comparable to a C-rank hero. When equipped with the most advanced Black Panther suit, he barely reaches the early stage of the Ghost rank, roughly equivalent to Draven in close combat.

The problem is, Draven is a ranged combat unit.

No wonder Wakanda, despite deploying its high-tech team, was still utterly crushed. "So, who should we send to provide support?"

The Monster Association has at least one Super Dragon-level (S) and twelve Dragon-level (A) monsters. Although they are scattered all over the world, sending just two or three Dragon-level monsters is enough to completely change the course of the war in Africa.

Although Yugi Muto is an S-class hero, he is not a god who can support all fronts at any time.

"Although I hate to admit it, the League of Legends doesn't seem to have any extra combat power to go and provide support right now." "This isn't something that one or two A-rank heroes can handle; it would require at least an S-rank hero." "Tornado of Terror is nowhere to be found, and Koro-sensei is busy preparing for the Hero Academy." "The only S-rank heroes available are King and me."

Aizen Sousuke pushed up his glasses, which reflected a white light, and analyzed carefully.

Originally, most of the A-rank heroes in League of Legends were sent out to serve as branch managers, leaving only Tohka Yatogami and Hulk at headquarters.

Sure enough, after expanding their sphere of influence to the entire world, they also experienced a serious deficiency in combat strength.

If the African branch's leader wasn't an S-rank hero, but merely an A-rank hero, they probably would have been crushed by Noxus long ago.

"this is not OK."

Zhao Chen shook his head, rejecting the proposal to send out S-class heroes.

Aizen Monosuke needs to handle numerous matters at the League of Legends headquarters, which comprises seven branches and is far more important than a single African branch.

After all, even if Aizen Monosuke takes action, if Noxus intends to avoid it, it won't be able to resolve this war in a short time.

As for King, he's a complete fraud. Wearing the Mark 7 suit given to him by Tony Stark, and relying on Child Emperor and Tony's technology to solve the problem of not having an arc reactor as an energy source, he's practically unbeatable below Class A.

the first.

However, that's all there is to it. Once you reach the initial stage of the Dragon level, it's something that even a high level of gaming skill can't compensate for.

However, this guy seems to have gotten incredibly lucky, always managing to effortlessly defeat wolves, tigers, ghosts, and even dragon-level threats...

This doesn't seem to have been done by the League of Legends team, but rather by some other faction acting on a whim.

According to King, he simply went out to buy a few of the latest fighting games, and a hole suddenly appeared next to him.

The inside is entirely purple, covered with countless eyes, which would make people with trypophobia feel uncomfortable, as if it were a perverse sense of humor. At the corner of the opening, there are two pink bows that evoke a girlish heart.

Then King saw the white dress flash by, and then a bunch of strange corpses fell down with a clatter.

It was as if the opening had been closed after all the trash had been swept away, leaving no trace of its existence.

King was very distressed by this, after all, he was covered in blood.
