American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

If these two treat such precious things like ordinary fruit, one can only imagine how much good stuff they've eaten.

"About that, Mr. Tony, you can do it too."

"We don't get the same treatment as you."

"No, that's why I came—to give you guys rewards."

Upon hearing this, the Avengers present were stunned for a moment, and then, one by one, they widened their eyes.

"award?!!"

"Yes, a reward."

"You managed to repel the invading enemy, even if it was just a small force. But there are still rewards. The mind-based powerhouses in Hellfire have already scanned you repeatedly to determine your merits and paid out the points."

"Since you don't have Hellfire Badges, I'll distribute them on your behalf."

"Gudong, gudong..."

Immediately, the sound of continuous swallowing could be heard from the scene.

"Mr. Tony, you have killed 358 extraordinary enemies. Your reward is 358 points, Captain..."

With each report and each person mentioned, the Avenger would raise his head, listening with excitement and satisfaction to his findings.

After everyone had finished reporting their gains, Spider-Woman suddenly said, "Everyone has gained quite a lot. In fact, I suggest that you might consider pooling your points and exchanging them for an evolution seed."

"Evolution Seed, what's that?" A curious, bald-headed man suddenly appeared from somewhere.

"Director Nick, the Evolution Seed is a new treasure from Hellfire. It costs 3000 points to exchange and has extraordinary effects. It can open the path of evolution for the user. In simpler terms, it gives the user a chance to break through to the level of a sub-father."

"Father God!!!" The bald-headed man's eyes widened instantly.

Having spent a lot of time with Spider-Woman and the others, Baldy has naturally learned a lot of mysterious knowledge. The Heavenly Father is a being with a combat power exceeding one thousand!

If placed in the outside world, it would be worthy of being called a god; if placed in hell, it would be an existence at the level of a hell lord!

They, the Avengers, actually have the opportunity to possess this kind of fighting power?!

Instantly, the gazes of all the Avengers present became incredibly fervent.

Meanwhile, at Hellfire Headquarters.

Below, almost all of the Hellfire members appeared, most of them with injuries, some even missing limbs.

At this moment, none of the Hellfire members cared about their own injuries; all of them were staring intently at the top.

There were rows of seats. At the very bottom was the Hellfire General. Above him were the two Hellfire Queens and two Hellfire Queens. Above that was the highest seat, which was also the only empty seat.

That position belongs to only one person, the sole ruler of Hellfire, the undisputed emperor, Your Majesty of Hellfire!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the empty seat; it was none other than Locke.

Locke sat on his throne, looking down at the Hellfire members below, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"I am very satisfied with your performance this time."

"The five generals joined forces to kill a Heavenly Father-level demon god. The other generals also killed more than three hundred first-class enemies and a total of 24 undead beings at the sub-Heavenly Father level."

"I, Hellfire, deserve punishment for my transgressions, and naturally deserve reward for my merits."

"In addition to the points reward that you are entitled to, I will give you another reward."

The Hellfire members who were about to enter the arena all had burning eyes.

A dense mass of necromantic energy appeared in Locke's palm: "This is my reward for you. Necromantic energy. You are familiar with it. It is the power possessed by your enemies."

"Now, you can choose to forge a weapon with strong corrosive properties and a low probability of instant death using necromantic energy."

"Alternatively, you can choose to directly fuse with the necromantic energy and switch to the necromantic path. If you choose this option, you can bind to the source of the necromantic energy and gain a chance to be resurrected with the help of the necromantic energy."

Upon hearing this, even some of the more indifferent individuals couldn't help but ignite their passion.

They've seen the necromancy system before; it's very powerful, especially with the corrosive nature of necromancy energy, which makes it extremely troublesome to deal with!

Most importantly, it's about resurrection!

Even with all the resources of Hellfire, which can easily repair severed limbs, the temptation of resurrection and an extra life is irresistible!

"Emma, ​​you will be in charge of counting the number of people who forged weapons and switched to other skills later."

"Okay." Sitting in the second seat, the elegant and noble White Queen nodded.

The next moment, Locke's gaze fell on the five generals.

"As for you, the reward is different, since you did kill a necromancer god."

"As a reward, I can grant each of you a mid-level evolution seed. You are probably already aware of the effects of the evolution seed."

The so-called Seed of Evolution is a special entity that Locke created after obtaining the Equation of Life and based on his understanding of it. Its effect is simple: to help initiate the path of evolution.

The beginner level can initiate the evolutionary path of the sub-Father, while the intermediate level naturally aligns with the evolutionary path of the Father.

Upon hearing this, the five generals present instantly turned their gazes incredibly intense.

They have already entered the realm of the sub-Father, so how could they not have expectations for the higher level of the Father?

The five generals who received the intermediate-level evolution seed as a reward from Locke withdrew one by one, eager to refine the intermediate-level evolution seed.

At this moment, only Locke's group of women remained at the scene; they were the high-ranking members of Hellfire, second only to Locke in status.

"Emma, ​​Wanda, Jean, Madeline..."

“Just call me the Fairy Queen,” Madeline Pryor suddenly said.

Locke nodded. He could completely understand that Madeline Pryor, who was originally a clone of Jean, still had some mental issues.

"To be honest, your performance has exceeded my expectations."

“You have all reached the level of the Heavenly Father, and ordinary rewards are no longer of any use to you, so I have prepared a special reward for you.”

"What reward?" Wanda, the youngest and most lively child, couldn't help but have her big eyes light up.

"One dimension~"

Upon hearing this, even the most composed and elegant White Queen Emma couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.

"Could it be Dormammu's dimension?"

"No, Dormammu's dark dimension can corrupt living beings. Although it's not as extreme as the necromancy dimension, it can still alter the host's mind."

"I'm referring to a special dimension, which is something I gained after defeating Thanos."

Thanos, who was killed by Locke, was a true single-target overlord. When he unleashed his full power, he was capable of fighting against a mid-level single target. He was a ruler and emperor-like being. How could he not have left behind some treasures?

However, compared to the core of the Graveyard of Gods, those things are not that important.

Among them was a special dimension. It's unknown which strange dimensional lord Thanos killed, thus bringing together a very strange dimension.

The reason this dimension is considered strange is that most dimensions typically have only one attribute, or they may have one main world and several secondary attributes.

The dimension obtained from Thanos is different; this dimension has no primary attribute, or rather, each one is a primary attribute.

This is an elemental dimension, containing a rich and abundant array of elemental forces, including earth, wind, water, fire, and so on.

Although his attributes didn't quite match those of the women in front of him, that was because their abilities were too advanced. Dimensions where attributes could perfectly match were almost nonexistent, so they could only extend downwards.

For example, Wanda, who possesses the power of chaos, can try using fire or dark attributes.

"This is a top-tier large dimension, second only to the super-large dimension that can support a single dimensional master. Once you attempt to refine this dimension and become dimensional masters together, the path for each of you to become a superior heavenly father will be completely paved."

"Most importantly, with the Dimensional Lord as the embodiment of the dimension, the dimension is immortal and the Dimensional Lord is immortal. I will leave behind a portion of the core essence of the dimension, so unless I die, you will be in no danger."

This is why Locke offered this reward. The women are all his women, and he can use Hellfire's things whenever he wants, so why would he need any reward?

This thing is for saving the girls' lives.

Thanos can be resurrected hundreds of times using the Graveyard of Gods. As the opponents he faces become stronger and stronger, it would be a huge disadvantage not to have some resurrection ability.

Locke, his face covered in lipstick marks, shook his head with amusement. If it weren't for the inappropriateness, the girls, who had transformed into she-wolves, would have devoured him alive on the spot.

Suddenly, Locke looked up at the sky: "It's here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the creator goddess Ilúvatar appeared opposite Locke.

Looking at Ilúvatar's breathtakingly beautiful face, she said, "This time, you've worked hard, overseeing the overall situation and considering every aspect."

To avoid Thanos noticing the problem and thus delaying the training plan, Locke hadn't shown himself before, relying entirely on Ilúvatar's reputation and power to oversee the entire situation.

"Iluvita, I'm hesitating~"

"What are you hesitating about?" asked Ilúvatar, the creator goddess, with some curiosity.

Locke opened his hand, and a dimensional core shrunk to its smallest size reappeared in his palm.

Sensing the terrifying dark power above, the creator god Ilúvatar's gaze shifted, and she quickly understood: "This is Dormammu's dimension?"

“Hmm.” Locke nodded: “A super-large dimension that can accommodate a single-level dimensional master.”

"However, your attributes don't suit you at all."

"You might want to consider it..."

"No, no need."

Locke looked up in surprise. He had guessed that Ilúvatar might refuse, but he hadn't expected her to be so decisive.

The Father's expectations for individuals cannot be explained in a few words; they possess an attraction rooted in the instinct of life.

The creator goddess Ilúvatar smiled a beautiful smile.

"A low-level Dark-type single entity won't be of much help to you; in fact, a Life-type omnipotent Celestial Father would be far better, wouldn't he?"

Locke was silent.

A moment later, he smiled.

"That's true, the life element is much more interesting than the dark element."

"Wait for me. Wait for me to make a few more breakthroughs, and I'll be able to help you advance in rank."

Chapter 172 Trinity - Creator Form!

Locke arrived at a secret chamber. Given his strength, it would be a joke for him to be in seclusion looking for a secret chamber. There was no way a secret chamber could exist that could support someone like him to break through.

However, that's only under normal circumstances. Tom the obedient cat never pays attention to those so-called common sense rules. He somehow managed to create this strange secret room that even Locke, who could easily destroy a galaxy, couldn't destroy.

At this moment, clusters of light floated around Locke's body.

Thanos's origin, Dormammu's dark dimension, and the core of God's Graveyard—these are Locke's three greatest gains from this trip.

"Thanos's origin, with an additional dark dimension above it, is enough to elevate all three of my great powers to the position of Godfather."

To be honest, Locke was also a little curious. The three powerful abilities were indeed strong, that much was certain. But the problem was that he could only contend with a mid-level single-target attacker, or even fight head-on, by using his ultimate move, Divine Power Convergence, or by relying on the Destroyer Armor's ultimate mode.

Without those two powerful cards, Locke's current strength is at most that of a lower-level single-target fighter at the limit level. Can the simultaneous advancement of the three powers to the Heavenly Father level really allow him to advance three levels in a row, leaping from a lower-level single-target fighter to a super single-target fighter?

To be honest, it seems a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it.

The problem is that both Franklin, the incredibly gifted son who practically delivered himself to their doorstep, and the Trinity of Vishanti are absolutely certain of this.

Perhaps it's related to some peculiar connection between the three great powers?

"Once I get promoted, everything will become clear, and perhaps I can truly understand the special connection between the three powers."

Thinking of this, Locke closed his eyes. Without him making any movement, Thanos's essence and dark dimension slowly floated onto his body and then entered his body.

At the same moment, the three forces accumulated within Locke's body became excited and rushed forward, beginning to recklessly devour the source and dimensional power.

Time began to flow slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, Locke's body began to change.

Streams of scarlet energy surged forth, instantly transforming the surroundings into a sea of ​​scarlet chaotic power.

In no time, the phantom of a phoenix appeared, its scorching heat incinerating everything, and the vast phoenix power it unleashed began to confront the power of chaos.

Before long, the deep green fairy power broke free from its body's restraints and shone with a dazzling brilliance.

Three forces, the three most magnificent and powerful forces in the universe, began to confront each other in this secret room.

As time went on, the three forces grew stronger and stronger, and the standoff became increasingly terrifying, teetering on the brink of a desperate, all-out conflict.

Finally, with a popping sound, following Locke's earliest chaotic power, it was the first to break through that limit and cross the level of the Heavenly Father.

In an instant, the power of chaos, which had greatly increased in strength, did not hesitate to show its violent and greedy side and launched an attack on the other two forces first.
