Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

"Please rest assured, Lord Rhodes, I will be loyal to you. You have given me what I have always dreamed of," the Fireman said.

Extremely powerful strength, an immortal body—what could be more precious than this?

Moreover, according to Lord Rhodes, he could also take him away from this void, and there could be nothing more perfect.

He was certain that he would be loyal to Lord Rhodes. At this moment, even he himself did not realize that Rhodes' mental abilities were slowly influencing him.

"Lord Rhodes, I can also serve you. I am Juggernaut." A burly man wearing a helmet pushed through the crowd and came to Rhodes to offer his services.

Rhodes knew about Juggernaut, but if it were the comic book version of Juggernaut, Rhodes would indeed take him on. However, the movie version of Juggernaut was just a somewhat fierce mutant.

Rhodes wouldn't even bother making these guys do dirty or tiring work, because his Saint Seiya army could handle it perfectly well.

"Lord Rhodes, I am Psylocke, and I can manipulate all kinds of energy."

"I am a toad-man, and I possess all the abilities of a toad."

"I am."

After seeing the benefits that the Fire Man gained, a large group of villainous henchmen immediately began to volunteer. Most of them were mutants, some were ordinary villains, and there were even a few vampires.

However, in Rhodes's view, they were all a bunch of good-for-nothings and trash.

"Fireman! These guys are yours to control. Keep an eye on them," Rhodes said.

"Yes, Lord Rhodes. Trust me, I can handle them." Fireman immediately bowed to Rhodes and said.

"Very good! Here, eat this peach, and you will live for several hundred years longer, and your physical fitness will be further improved." After saying this, Rhodes tossed a defective version of the peach that he had previously grown on the land of the night elves to the fire elemental.

These peaches can increase lifespan by hundreds of years and also significantly improve physical fitness.

After consuming the flawed peaches bestowed upon him by Rhodes, the Fireman's life level was further enhanced, and he is now a complete superhuman.

Even without using his superpower to control fire, his fighting strength is in no way weaker than the villains present. Even Red Skull, who just volunteered, is not as physically strong as Pyroman at this moment.

"This little staff can summon a wisp of fel flame at the cost of your physical strength. I believe you have the ability to control it well." Rhodes thought for a moment, then took out another fel staff from his hand and tossed it to the fire elemental.

These are some gadgets I made when I was still a warlock. They can convert life energy into fel fire. Most warlocks aren't interested in using them, but they would be very useful for fire elementals.

Now that his physical abilities and life energy have improved, he can control the evil fire. After returning to his own world in a while, Rhode will have him learn about the power of the cosmos.

This will allow you to control more special flames, which can then play an unexpected role in dealing with opponents who possess special abilities.

"Lord Rhodes, my abilities far surpass those of Fireman. Why do you look down on me? I will never pledge allegiance to that Fireman!" Juggernaut said angrily.

In this community, his status was not much lower than that of Fireman, but now, the new leader who killed the original leader had his eye on Fireman's abilities.

They even gave him so many rewards, but they didn't seem to care about him at all, which dealt a huge blow to his self-esteem.

"Hehe! Since I've entrusted the Firemen to your command, you should at least keep them under control! Now go and show them your power." Rhodes chuckled and said.

"No problem, Lord Rhodes. Well then, you scum, let's play a game. Whoever can defeat me can take my place. You can come one by one, or all at once," Fireman said with a sneer.

My current strength is completely different from before, so I'll use these lackeys to establish my authority.

"Everyone, charge!" Juggernaut led the charge, rushing towards the Fireman first.

Then it was engulfed by the overwhelming fel flames and burned to ashes in an instant.

Even the man who made the move was a little surprised. He had only used the staff that Rhodes had given him and then amplified and released the fel flames, but he did not expect the power to be so great.

You should know that your ability can not only enlarge flames, but also increase their power. But just now, you only enlarged a small flame of fel energy, but you didn't expect that the incomparably powerful Red Tank would be burned to ashes and die without leaving a trace.

This caused the group of henchmen who were charging forward to stop abruptly, frozen in place, their faces filled with disbelief.

No mistake, the Red Tank is so physically strong that it can withstand rocket launchers, and ordinary heavy weapons have no effect on it.

When enraged, it can even flip a tank over, but this eerie green flame burned it to ashes, leaving not a trace.

"Hahaha! Now who else wants to come up and try?" Fireman said arrogantly.

The villains present looked at each other, none of them daring to speak; they had all become mute!

Then they all knelt on the ground and became Rhodes' subordinates. Rhodes did not revive the already dead Juggernaut.

There are plenty of tank-type characters like this in the world of Azeroth and even in the Saint Seiya world. Rhode wouldn't care how many die; you're not the Red Tank from the manga version.

The current roster of the Multiverse team consists of three members: the middle-aged Wolverine, Deadpool, and the Human Torch.

The elderly Wolverine has completely lost his ambition, and his current physical condition and mentality are no longer suitable for joining the multiverse team. Therefore, Rhodey plans to send him back to his original universe after returning, so that he can retire in peace.

In return, Rod Hui requested that X23, the young female wolf from Wolverine 3, be selected as a new member of the multiverse team.

A few days later, Eri Fire returned with several of his companions: Erica, who was almost fifty years old; Gambit, who had lost all his memories and been abandoned; Blade, who was now old; and Weapon X, who had grown up and was now a little wolf girl.

As soon as they met, the little wolf girl threw herself into her father's arms and burst into tears, saying something like, "I thought I would never see you again."

The reunion of the father and daughter was very touching, and Deadpool even took a picture of them together.

But Rhodes didn't care about any of that. Next, for the multiverse team, Rhodes selected Blade, Erica, Gambit, and Little Wolf Girl to join, along with Wolverine Logan, Deadpool, and the Human Torch, making a total of seven members.

Although Erica is an ordinary person, she possesses an exceptional fighting spirit and is an assassin by nature. If given supernatural powers, she can grow rapidly.

The King of Cards also has unique abilities; he can be used as a control-type player or as a ranged damage dealer.

As for Blade, he is a commander-type character with considerable combat experience.

He's the tactical mastermind of the team, while Thunderbolt, Wolverine, and Deadpool are the firepower providers, responsible for the fighting.

"Cool! Let's have a catchy name, like Task Force X," Deadpool said.

"Your X Task Force has been wiped out. Face reality!" Rhodes retorted from the side.

The superhero team assembled by Deadpool, that idiot, is arguably the fastest team to be wiped out; they'd die one by one on their way to the parachute! Deadpool himself is quite the talent to have managed to gather this group of geniuses together!

"I want to make one thing clear to you: it was not me who recruited you, but Loki, the god of time, who is also the boss behind the Time Management Bureau."

"I made a deal with him. I will train you all to improve your overall strength, and then hand you over to the God of Time. He will arrange your next mission," Rhodes said.

"Oh, I thought you were recruiting us personally, boss. What a pity. I really wanted to work for you," Deadpool said.

"Save your breath! I will never recruit you as my subordinate," Rhodes said with a chill.

"Loki? The Norse god of deception and fire, Loki?" Erica asked.

"No! It's Asgard. Just think of him as an alien who, due to some accident, became the god of time in the multiverse. In a sense, he single-handedly maintained the existence of the entire multiverse," Rhodes said.

"Alright! It seems our new boss has quite a background. So, what are you planning to teach us?" Erica asked Rhodes.

"Good question. I will teach you a few special powers. The first one is a power called Haki, which is divided into two types: Observation Haki and Armament Haki."

"Observation Haki allows you to anticipate your opponent's attacks, and when mastered, you can even foresee the future, things that will happen seconds or even minutes from now," Rhodes said.

"This trick is quite useful; it's like enhancing one's senses."

"It's incredibly useful. It allows you to anticipate your opponent's attacks and even predict the future. Wow, I feel like a future warrior," Deadpool said.

"The second type of Haki is called Armament Haki. It's essentially a kind of armor. This Armament Haki can be applied to the surface of your body or your weapons to enhance your defense and attack power," Rhode said.

The dual-color Haki in the One Piece world no longer requires traveling to the One Piece world to train; it has reached the level of a primordial god.

Anyone can learn these two types of Haki under his guidance if Rhodes wants to, just like Sargeras learned Armament Haki and Observation Haki upon first meeting him.

"Put on a suit of armor, or armor on your weapon, to increase your attack power. If I had known this trick before, killing vampires would have been much easier," Blade said.

"In addition to that, there is a kind of power called profession. Professions are quite special. Erica, you are more suited to the profession of stealth, which allows you to disappear into the shadows and use various assassin skills."

As for you guys? You're all suited for the Warrior class, burning your rage to attack your opponents. Card Master, you could try the Hunter class, which will also help improve your ranged attack capabilities.

"As for Thunderous Flames, your fire manipulation relies on your physical strength, so you should also choose the warrior class," Rhodes said.

The dual-color Haki of the One Piece world, along with the special professions of the Azeroth world, have already brought about a dramatic change in their combat power.

Of course, Rhodes would also use some special pills brought from the Black Myth world to further enhance their physical fitness, since they couldn't let a few elderly men and women in their fifties or sixties go to war.

Some of these people are quite old.

"Understood, Instructor. Let's begin teaching!"

For the next two weeks, Rhodes remained in the Void, teaching his recruits dual-color Haki and the special professions of Azeroth. With Rhodes's almost cheat-like teaching methods, these guys grew very quickly.

There was no other way; Rhodes would directly make them master both types of Haki and visualize the training methods and advanced techniques of professions in the world of Azeroth.

Then he fed them pills to improve their physical fitness, and then used his time artifact to make these guys train for seven years in seven days.

During this time, the little wolf girl grew from an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl into a sexy and mature woman in her mid-twenties.

During this time, Rhodes also put the men he had just recruited into training, since they were somewhat weak.

To make future battles easier, Rhodes had the Fireman learn the ways of the sorcerer as well.

After everything was over, Rhodes kept his promise and brought everyone back to Deadpool's world.

"Oh my god, I'm finally back. It's been seven years! I've been fucking tortured by you bastard for seven years!" Upon returning to his own world, Deadpool immediately knelt on the ground, crying and sobbing.

For Deadpool, those seven years of training were a living hell. Given his unconventional personality, being trapped in one place for seven years and constantly fighting with his teammates was the greatest torture for him.

Before anyone could react, another flash of green light appeared, and Rhodes and his recruited multiverse team appeared before Loki, the god of time.

"Welcome, newcomers! Hahaha! Well done, Mr. Rhodes. You've given them the power of another world. Now these guys are the real elites." Loki, the God of Time, said with satisfaction as he looked at the seven-man team in front of him.

The power of other worlds makes this multiverse team extremely powerful, capable of carrying out dangerous missions.

"If you're satisfied, then how about our deal?" Rhodes asked.

"First, the Celestials have agreed to the deal with you, but you can't touch the Celestial on Earth. Someone will solve this problem in the future; it's just a matter of time."

"They will tell you how to make the seeds of the gods, and what you will need to give in return is the Titans' method of gestation, and a method of giving birth to life on a planet without harming it," Loki said.

"It sounds like we're at a disadvantage! They only provided the method for making the God Seed, while we have to provide the method for the Titans to conceive and be born," Rhodes said.

"Come on, buddy, this is the result of my hard work. If it weren't for the fact that I am the God of Time, maintaining the balance of the entire multiverse, the Celestials wouldn't even give me a second thought," Loki said.

The members of the Cosmic Gods are extremely arrogant. Even though I am the God of Time, they sometimes don't give me any face.

If it weren't for the fact that the Titans from another world were indeed very important to the Celestials in terms of gestation and birth methods, they would never have agreed to the trade.

"Add one more, I need some of your time-manipulation abilities," Rhodes said.

As for the power from the Celestials, Rhodes only needs to obtain the seed production and planting methods.

What Rhode truly desires is Loki's power of time, after all, Loki is now a god of time who maintains the balance of the entire multiverse.

"Hahaha! So you've got your eye on my power. No problem. If you were from this universe, I would never let a single bit of my time power leak out. But you're from another world, so I can give you some." After a moment's thought, Loki agreed to Rhodes's request.

"Then I'll trouble you, God of Time. This is another world. This is an artifact given to me by the God of Time. Just infuse your divine power into it." Rhodes smiled and took out the time artifact given to him by the super god Saturn from another world.

"The God of Time from another world, I can see that this artifact of time is exquisitely crafted, and it can also convert your divine power."

"The being who created the power of time is far beyond my imagination; he is incredibly powerful," Loki said.

(The power hierarchy in American comic book worlds is actually quite chaotic, especially in the Marvel universe, where the power levels between the multiverse and individual universes are particularly confusing. A being that can be defeated by a multiverse entity can even be defeated by a mere mortal.)

Then he poured his time power into the artifact, but stopped after only a portion of it was poured in.

Then he returned the Time Artifact to Rhodes.

"That God of Time is indeed very powerful; he is practically equivalent to all the wonders of that world." Rhodes smiled as he retrieved his Time Artifact and nodded to Sargeras beside him.

"Then don't resist. I'll take you to the place where we're trading with the Celestials." Loki nodded to Rhodes and Sargeras and activated his powers.

Another flash of light, and the group appeared in a mysterious cosmic space—the agreed-upon meeting place between Loki and the Celestials. (End of Chapter)
