I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 136 News of the Fragments of the Dark Book

Deep within the vampire castle, the dimly lit throne room is filled with an eerie aroma of aged blood mixed with ancient sandalwood.

Dracula sat on a throne meticulously carved from millennia-old obsidian, his pale, slender fingers rhythmically tapping the armrests.

His crimson eyes slowly swept over the kneeling descendants below, his voice icy: "A whole month has passed, and there's still no definite news about Blade?"

He has been awake for almost a month, but there has been very little progress on either the clues about the fragments of the Dark Book or the whereabouts of the Daywalker Blade.

This feeling of being lost and directionless made him increasingly agitated, and a violent, bloodthirsty glint would occasionally flash in his eyes.

If it weren't for the complex and ever-changing world situation today, with various powerful figures emerging one after another, would he still need these descendants to serve him?

"The progenitor—we have indeed obtained some crucial intelligence."

"But the situation is more complicated than expected."

A white-haired vampire elder raised his head tremblingly, his voice shaking slightly with fear.

"Complex?"

"Explain yourself clearly!"

A fierce glint flashed in Dracula's eyes as he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Blade is currently recuperating in a safe location within the Sanctuary."

"But the Sanctuary does an excellent job of keeping secrets. We can't determine the exact coordinates of the stronghold, we can only pinpoint the area of ​​the city where it is located."

The elder took a deep breath to calm his tense emotions and continued to report: "What's even more troublesome is that at the same time, news suddenly spread from the underworld that fragments of the Dark Book had appeared."

"Now all forces are eyeing this fragment, and even the people of the Holy Domain are involved."

"The news about Blade's Edge and the fragments of the Dark Book both point to the same city."

A menacing glint flashed in Dracula's eyes, and he leaned forward involuntarily: "Where exactly is it?"

An elder standing nearby quickly and respectfully presented the compiled intelligence file.

The parchment slowly unfolded in Dracula's hands, his gaze rapidly sweeping over the densely packed characters.

"Ancestor, shouldn't we be more cautious?"

The most prestigious elder among the second-generation vampires spoke up.

He was the first vampire Dracula converted into, and he held a high position of prestige among vampires.

"The news of the appearance of fragments of the Dark Book has caused a great uproar in the underworld."

"According to our intelligence, not only have various dark creatures been moved by the news, but even some reclusive dark wizard groups have become active."

Seeing Dracula's furrowed brow, he quickly added, "In addition, there is the unknown powerhouse. The fierce battle between Pope Ye Feng of the Holy Domain and the unknown powerhouse in the depths of the ocean has stirred up giant waves hundreds of meters high."

"It's said that the person in question ultimately escaped unscathed from Ye Feng's grasp, and their strength is likely no less than yours. If such a powerful individual were to become involved—"

Dracula was silent for a moment, his fingertips lightly tracing across the intelligence file.

How could he not know the risks involved?

Judging from the strength Ye Feng has shown in his previous moves, he may really not be a match for that Pope.

But the allure of the Dark Book was simply too great—it was his dream of thousands of years.

I understand your concerns.

Dracula finally spoke.

"But I have been searching for the whereabouts of the Dark Book for thousands of years. It is my hope for breakthrough, and also the hope for the vampire clan's breakthrough."

"Pass down the order: mobilize all available manpower and prepare for a full-scale war."

He stood up: "Continuing to delay is nothing more than waiting to die. In this extraordinary era, you either rise with the tide or be eliminated by the times."

Dracula saw things very clearly.

The United Nations vote on the Global Alliance of Extraordinary Beings has yielded clear results, with more than three-quarters of the member states expressing their support for the alliance's establishment.

Even major powers with veto power have to compromise in the face of overwhelming public opinion and the tide of the times.

Only the United States is still struggling desperately.

The attitude of those smaller countries was quite firm: if the proposal could not be passed within the existing framework, they would unite to form a new international organization centered on the Sanctuary and establish a separate global extraordinary alliance.

This threat has forced traditional powers to think twice before acting.

With the increasing prominence of extraordinary power, the role of traditional military deterrence is rapidly declining.

Especially after high-ranking officials from various countries learned that many powerful mutants from Xavier Manor had joined the Sanctuary, they became even more determined to follow the trend of the times.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the dark creatures of the underworld.

Once the Global Extraordinary Alliance is officially established, the Holy Domain will open up extraordinary cultivation methods.

At that time, the individual strength of ordinary humans will experience a qualitative leap, the power advantage that dark creatures have relied on for thousands of years will no longer exist, and their living space will definitely be further compressed.

Rather than waiting to perish, let's take a gamble now!

This is precisely the common thought of the vast majority of dark creatures today.

They dared not touch the complete Dark Book, for if it got out of control, they would become its slaves.

But even a single torn page is worth fighting to the death for.

Because not only can the fragments greatly enhance the holder's strength, but if they also happen to contain powerful forbidden magic, it undoubtedly increases the holder's survival costs.

In this extraordinary and ever-changing era, this may be their last chance to establish themselves in the new era.

The Tarot Sanctuary, the Pope's palace, was brightly lit with candles.

Detailed information about the fragments of the Dark Book was respectfully presented to Ye Feng.

Clarice stood quietly to one side, awaiting the Pope's instructions.

"Your Majesty, intelligence indicates that the fragments have appeared in London."

"Over at the Sanctuary—"

Ye Feng carefully reviewed the intelligence report: "Choose one or two of you from the four of you to lead the team, and bring along some outstanding Saint Seiya reserve members to handle this matter."

His gaze deepened: "If I take action myself, those big fish lurking in the shadows probably won't take the bait."

"Apocalypse and Agatha are still missing, but they must be keeping a close eye on any news about the fragments of the Dark Book. This might be a good opportunity to lure them out."

"I see."

"I will make careful arrangements."

Clarice understood Ye Feng's meaning and bowed as she left the palace.

Ye Feng was not idle during this time.

He gathered more than twenty Cosmos Seeds and distributed them to the mutants in the Saint Seiya reserve.

Some of them have made significant progress and are only one step away from truly resonating with their inner universe.

"I wonder if these trainees, once they all comprehend their cosmos, will be able to help me break through to the seventh sense."

Ye Feng gazed at the vast starry sky outside the window and fell into deep thought.

The gap between the sixth sense and the seventh sense is like an insurmountable chasm; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's the difference between a human and a god.

The seventh sense begins with moving at the speed of light, a realm that the sixth sense can never reach.

In the original world of Saint Seiya, the training of Cosmo is more like reclaiming the dormant divine power within one's body.

Because in the mythological era, the golden humans were born with the ability to reach the seventh sense, and outstanding individuals among them could even touch the mysteries of the eighth sense, which aroused the fear and suppression of the Olympian gods.

In the Marvel Universe, everything starts from scratch.

Aside from his exceptional case, other beings who wish to break through to the seventh sense need to overcome the limitations of the world's rules, which is much more difficult.

Clarice left Ye Feng's palace and arrived at the training ground.

Hundreds of Saint Seiya trainees are undergoing rigorous training here.

"Attention everyone, we have an important mission."

Clarice's clear voice rang out across the training ground, and the trainees stopped what they were doing and looked at her intently. "This is the mission briefing."

Clarisse distributed the intelligence to the three responsible persons.

"Fragments of the Dark Book have appeared in London, right near a safe outpost established by the Sanctuary."

She glanced at the three of them, her tone serious: "Your Majesty means that we will choose two out of the four to lead the team."

"Let me go. I've never done a field mission alone before."

Anna spoke up first.

After comprehending the microcosm, she inherited the Pisces constellation of the zodiac.

His strength is now vastly different from before, and with the added enhancement of his mutant abilities through his cosmos, he would be considered a top-tier individual even among the world's superhumans.

"In that case, Anna and I will lead the team together," Clarice said thoughtfully.

"In case of emergencies, it will be more reliable for us to cooperate with each other."

She hasn't gone out on missions for a long time, so this is a good opportunity to test her recent training results.

"Then it's settled. I'll stay in the Holy Land to oversee things."

Logan had no objection to this.

He prefers the peaceful life of teaching younger generations to the constant battles he now enjoys.

"Each of us will select two to three reservists to accompany us."

"Specific action plans need to be adjusted flexibly according to the situation on site."

Clarisse has already begun to filter suitable candidates in her mind.

She needs to select a few members from among the many mutants who have complementary abilities and the ability to protect themselves to accompany her, since this mission involves multiple forces and will certainly not be easy.

"Notify me of the departure time after the selection is finalized."

Anna nodded in agreement, a look of anticipation in her eyes.

Meanwhile, at the safe outpost in London, Blade also learned of the reappearance of the fragments of the Dark Book.

"The vampires should be heading towards London too, right?"

Blade stared intently at the intelligence report in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The silver sword at his waist seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit, emitting a slight hum.

"We've arrived, and there are quite a few of us."

The person in charge of the outpost paced back and forth in the room with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty's plan to expand your military globally has put unprecedented pressure on all dark beings."

"According to the intelligence we have, there are far more than just one or two forces searching for the fragments of the Dark Book in the underworld, and the vampires are just one of the most active ones."

"Everyone wants to use the power of the Dark Book to turn the tide."

He walked to the window, carefully lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the gloomy sky outside: "This seemingly peaceful city will probably soon become a meat grinder for dark creatures."

In the past few days, with the rapid spread of news about the fragments of the Dark Tome, the city has been flooded with a large number of dark creatures, dark wizards, and other extraordinary beings of all kinds.

The war is about to start.
