The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 531 Plan

Wes and Mephisto are fully committed to their plan to acquire the Black Death Sword.

They considered and deliberated over every detail repeatedly, leaving no stone unturned in their consideration of any factor that might affect the success or failure of the plan.

In the real world, however, the situation is undergoing tremendous and silent changes.

Tony Stark has recently been lobbied by both the government and Jewish tycoons, and has been going through a fierce internal struggle.

Spider-Man's tragic sacrifice plunged him into an abyss of endless pain, leaving him lost in confusion and self-blame, oblivious to the outside world.

But now, he faces immense pressure from all sides, as well as a deep-seated sense of responsibility that he can never relinquish.

He eventually agreed to step in and resolve the thorny crisis.

He knew in his heart that Wes must bear an unshirkable responsibility behind this chaotic situation. He originally planned to find Wes first and find out the ins and outs of the matter.

However, things took an unexpected turn, going in a direction he hadn't anticipated.

Iran sent a group of envoys to negotiate with the United States.

The envoys carried the demands of the Iranian government.

Tony, as a crucial figure on the American side, personally participated in the negotiations.

The two sides engaged in heated debates and tug-of-war over a series of sensitive issues, from the core issue of territorial disputes to the conflict of interests in resource allocation and the important issue of regional security.

Every topic is like a taut string; if handled improperly, it could trigger a larger-scale conflict and make the situation even more uncontrollable.

With his exceptional intelligence and decisive decision-making ability, Tony strives to find a balance between the interests of both sides in this complex and ever-changing situation.

The Iranian envoys also demonstrated a firm stance while employing flexible negotiation tactics, with both sides exchanging blows and refusing to yield.

But as time went on, driven by their shared strong desire for peace, they gradually reached a consensus.

Finally, after a great deal of hard work, the two parties successfully signed an agreement.

The war, from its outbreak to its swift end, was like a storm that shook the world, making all nations realize that extraordinary power had become a key factor influencing the course of events.

Governments around the world are beginning to re-examine this world full of unknowns and uncertainties.

Countries around the world have increased their investment in research on supernatural powers, hoping to gain an advantage in this new field.

Against this backdrop, the world order is quietly changing, and a brand new era is slowly unfolding.

In Israel's capital, the city has been reduced to ruins by the ravages of war. The pungent smell of gunpowder and the nauseating stench of decay linger in the air, as if they were the gruesome marks left by the war.

Groups of civilians gathered aimlessly in the ruins. Most of them had lost their families and loved ones in the war. Their eyes were empty and dull, and they moved their feet mechanically like walking corpses.

Israel, a country with a very strong religious atmosphere, has a history where religion was once a spiritual refuge and a guide for people's lives, with almost the entire population devoutly practicing religion.

Over the years, religion has given them the courage and strength to face life's difficulties.

However, this cruel and merciless war, like a fierce storm, ruthlessly destroyed their homes and deeply wounded their faith, causing them to have unprecedented doubts about the doctrines they once firmly believed in.

David was one of these refugees who had suffered greatly.

He fled his war-torn and devastated hometown, enduring countless hardships to reach the capital, hoping to find a moment of peace, a chance to start a new life, and a glimmer of hope.

But fate was incredibly cruel to him; his entire family perished in this terrible war.

Those people who were once incredibly important in his life, those familiar figures and warm smiles, all vanished forever in the relentless gunfire, leaving him alone, drifting forlornly in this cold and cruel world, his heart filled with endless pain and sorrow.

Night fell quietly, and the biting wind howled, like sharp knives cutting into people's faces.

David and the other refugees huddled together in a makeshift shelter, which was crude and cold, offering no protection against the night's chill.

Silence reigned all around, broken only by the occasional low sobs and sighs. Everyone's eyes were empty and filled with despair, as if they had lost all hope for the future.

David slowly raised his head and looked up at the dark night sky, his heart filled with confusion and pain.

He kept asking himself: If God is truly omniscient, omnipotent, and infinitely merciful, why would He stand by and watch His people suffer such heavy misery?

Why should they endure this endless war and suffer such unfair treatment?

The once unwavering faith began to falter in the face of this cruel reality, like a candle flickering in a storm, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

What chilled these refugees even more was that they not only failed to receive the care and support they deserved from the government, but were instead ruthlessly forced into labor.

Every day before dawn, while the city was still shrouded in darkness, they were brutally driven to the ruins to clear away the broken bricks and stones and to retrieve the cold corpses.

The arduous labor left them physically and mentally exhausted, on the verge of collapse, while food was extremely scarce, leaving them hungry every day and unable to fill their stomachs.

David struggled to carry the heavy stones, sweat pouring down his forehead and soaking his clothes. Looking at his equally emaciated companions with their blank stares, the anger and resentment in his heart burned ever brighter.

He began to deeply doubt whether the faith he had once so devoutly believed in could truly save them from their dire straits.

In such a difficult situation, the faith of David and many other refugees is gradually being eroded by the suffering of reality. Their future is as bleak as the sky shrouded in war, with no glimmer of hope in sight.

"What a wonderful taste."

Mephisto took a deep breath, a look of ecstasy on his face, as if he were savoring the most precious wine in the world.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the refugee settlement filled with despair and suffering, greedily savoring the despair, hatred, and anger permeating the air.

These negative emotions, like a rich aroma, were an incredibly tempting feast for him.

Mephisto felt an overwhelming surge of excitement upon learning that these suffering people were actually God's children.
