Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Spider-Man left after receiving Shen Jue's answer and his promise that Shen Jue would not kill the mercenaries and mutants, but would instead heal their injuries.

The baby frog left with him.

The two men happened to be near the laboratory when the gunfight broke out.

The little spider's spider-sense told him that an unusual and dangerous event was occurring at the location of the laboratory.

This led the two to Shen Jue's laboratory.

Shen Jue used the universal serum to heal the injuries of the mercenaries and mutants one by one.

The mercenaries had their consciousness and souls forcibly altered by Shen Jue, turning them into Shen Jue's children.

As for the mutants captured by Shen Jue, after extracting their X genes, Shen Jue began to study them with great interest.

And he paid little attention to the prisoners who were being held captive.

Shen Jue's universal serum caused a huge uproar around the world.

In an instant, countless people's attention was drawn to Shen Jue.

Feeling that his secret cutting-edge laboratory was too narrow a scope, Shen Jue, after a brief discussion with Dou Shabao, founded a company in New York.

The company is called "Blackwatch".

This was a name Shen Jue chose randomly, derived from a villain in a violent and bloody single-player game he had played in his previous life.

At the same time, Jin donated his building to "Black Watch" established by Shen Jue free of charge.

As a result, Shen Jue made that building the headquarters of Black Watch.

Under Shen Jue's atomic-level electromagnetic field, he converted his mass energy into an astonishing quantity of universal serum.

These universal serums were distributed to various sales points in New York.

The guns were sold by Kingpin's former ruthless gangsters who now believe in love and peace.

One dollar a bottle of universal serum, no deception for the young or old.

Suddenly, transportation hubs and air passenger traffic to New York faced unprecedented pressure.

People all over the world are scrambling to get to New York to buy the universal serum.

Blackwatch, which sells the universal serum, has officially come into the view of countries and organizations around the world.

Meanwhile, General Stryker stood in front of the reinforced glass of his office, clutching a newly delivered briefing, the pages crumpled from his grip.

Blackwatch.

When he pronounced the name, his jaw was clenched so tightly that it was as if he wanted to chew each syllable and then spit it out.

Arkwright has gone missing, Death Woman has gone missing, and what he finds most unacceptable is that Azazel, the red demon he hired from the Brotherhood of Mutants at great expense, who can perform spatial jumps, has also perished in that laboratory.

"Three elite mutants can't take down a madman in a priest's robe." Stryker slammed the briefing onto the control panel, his gaze sweeping over the several silent faces in front of him.

"Now they're even letting him openly run a company in New York, selling serums, and that fat Kingpin even gave him his building for free!"

He turned around abruptly, his military boots making a dull thud on the floor.

"Tell me, who exactly is this Shen Jue? What are the limits of his abilities? Why can he come and go freely in Kingpin's territory as if it were his own home?"

No one answered.

The only sound in the intelligence room was the hum of the instruments running.

A junior officer hesitated for a moment before whispering, "General, we've tried using satellite thermal imaging and electromagnetic spectrum scanning, but the Blackwatch headquarters building seems to be shrouded in some kind of extremely precise electromagnetic field, refracting any external spying completely."

"We can't even confirm how many people are inside the building."

Stryker's temple throbbed.

He was certainly angry, but what made him even more uneasy was the unknown. He didn't even know what the other party was. Sending people over rashly would only lead to repeating the same mistakes.

What's more, that speedster named Quicksilver also fell.

In Stryker's view, that guy's abilities were already the pinnacle of solo assault.

If even the fastest can't escape Shen Jue's capture range, how much chance do the regular troops, or even the unfinished products of the Weapon X Project, have?

He could not allow the fearless sacrifices to continue to escalate.

Not at least not now.

"Suspend all active reconnaissance against Blackwatch," Stryker finally ordered.

"Maintain passive monitoring. I'll wait until that guy makes a mistake."

After he finished speaking, he added in a low voice, "No one can be perfect and never make a mistake."

Behind him, the screen was repeatedly playing footage of people in New York City scrambling to buy the universal serum.

Those faces cheering, weeping, and kneeling in gratitude flashed by one after another, like some kind of fanatical faith spreading across the globe.

Meanwhile, on the aircraft carrier.

Nick Fury stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the director's office, his only good eye gazing at the hazy skyline outside, unconsciously twirling an old-fashioned fountain pen in his hand.

On the holographic table behind him, the 37th independent test report of the universal serum from the S.H.I.E.L.D. laboratory had just been completed.

The conclusion remains completely consistent with the previous thirty-six tests: the ingredients are pure, non-addictive, non-toxic, free of nanoscale backdoors, gene locks, and mind-inducing substances.

"In other words, this is the purest, most effective, and cheapest treatment in human history," Fury said in a low, deep voice.

"And it's currently priced at one dollar."

Natasha emerged from the shadows, holding a paper file in her hand.

"The number of sales outlets in New York has increased to sixty-four. Gangs are armed and maintaining order, but so far there has been no bloodshed, and even former gang conflicts have ceased."

"Kingpin's men are all talk about love and peace now." Natasha placed the file on the table.

"These people have all fallen under Father Shen Jue's mind control."

Fury turned to look at her: "That's the problem. The universal serum doesn't show any issues, but the people selling the serum might be the biggest problem themselves."

Natasha paused for a second and said, "Many people in the department have used it."

"I know."

Natasha's tone was calm, yet carried a faint hint of helplessness: "Director, you can send agents on missions where death is certain, but you can hardly stop someone who has been tormented by migraines for over a decade from spending a dollar on a bottle of hope on the street."

Fury walked back to the table and looked at the test report for the universal serum.

"That's what's giving me the biggest headache," Nick said.

"If Shen Jue is a madman, a terrorist, or an alien invader, I can activate the corresponding contingency plan."

"But now, he hasn't attacked any government facilities, interfered with any national sovereignty, or threatened any civilians."

"He's simply selling a harmless, effective, and cheap miracle drug under the guise of a private company!"

He paused, a rare hint of weariness flashing in his single eye.

"Father Shen Jue even legally and compliantly accepted the real estate gifted by King and was willing to pay taxes."

Natasha raised an eyebrow slightly: "This is certainly not the kind of person we usually deal with."

"Like a living saint, that's the title the public has given him." Fury slammed his pen on the table.

"Those damned healthcare groups and powerful figures are still pressuring me!"

"The attacks against Father Shen Jue will never stop!"

"You don't believe Father Shen Jue either," Natasha said gently, a strange glint in her eyes.

"I believe there are truly good people in the world," Fury said, his head bowed, clearly oblivious to Natasha's expression.

"But I don't believe in the existence of demigods or saints who possess unpredictable powers and defy reason, to redeem humanity!"

"What a lame myth!!"
