American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

To be honest, with the appearance of Spider-Woman, no one can say for sure how the Spider-Man storyline will change.

Watching the Red Devil depart, Locke turned his gaze back to the Death Woman: "I heard you refused the promotion to the Jack of Hearts?"

The woman panicked: "Boss, I didn't mean to disobey your orders, I just... I just..."

Locke looked at the Death Woman with interest: "Just what?"

The Death Woman lowered her head, then raised it again, her eyes burning with fervor: "Boss, I just want to stay by your side, as your servant or attendant. I know my strength is nothing to you, but I will try my best, I will always try my best..."

"can!"

The two words suddenly interrupted the Death Woman's somewhat stammering narration. The Death Woman was stunned for a moment, and then her face revealed a fanatical excitement and agitation.

“It’s fine for you to stay by my side, but that won’t stop you from being promoted to the Jack of Hearts. I don’t want anyone who’s by my side to be without any status.” As he spoke, a Jack of Hearts appeared out of thin air in Locke’s hand, which he casually tossed to the Death Woman.

This time, the Death Woman didn't continue and readily put away the badge.

Looking at the excited Death Woman, Locke's lips curled up slightly. Death Woman and Illusion Master, as the only two special individuals whose value was erased by their father and then saved by Locke and given new value, are absolutely loyal to Locke to the highest degree. They are the kind of people who would die for him.

Having a bodyguard like that by your side to handle some small matters is not bad. After all, at Locke's level, how can he do every little thing personally?

Having resolved these two matters, Locke turned his attention back to the training ground. The battle had not ended with the defeat of Red Devil and Death Woman.

The Hulk started fighting again, this time not just two, but ten!

Veteran soldiers from ten bases, after taking enhancement drugs, launched a siege against the Hulk.

Meanwhile, Hulk single-handedly withstood the combined attack of ten mid-to-high-level experts, showing no signs of defeat. With excited roars, he directly overwhelmed the ten opponents!

Finally, all ten opponents were blasted out of the training field again. Hulk pounded his chest and roared with excitement!

Locke stepped forward and waved to the Hulk.

"Hulk, how are you? Are you satisfied with your life now?"

The Hulk nodded excitedly: "Hulk likes his life now. Nobody calls him Hulk the monster, and there are fights every day. Hulk likes it here!"

"Since you like this place, are you interested in becoming a warrior to protect it?"

Hulk nodded repeatedly: "Hulk can do it! If you're nice to Hulk, Hulk will fight for you!"

A badge suddenly shot out from Locke's fingertip and instantly imprinted on Green Fatty's chest, transforming into a rune that resembled a flame, marked with the symbol of the Ace of Hearts.

"From this day forward, Hulk, you will be the second general of Hellfire!"

"Hulk, Admiral!" the Hulk roared excitedly.

"Hulk, I'm going to give you a task now."

The green fat man looked at Locke and nodded in anticipation.

"That is... to defeat him!"

As Locke finished speaking, crimson chaotic power surged forth, transforming into a raging torrent that gradually coalesced into a figure.

Its body is grayish-brown, and it has a strong physique. Its height is no less than that of the Hulk. It has a sister's ferocious barbs on its back, making it look even more ferocious and brutal than the Hulk!

This is utterly abhorrent!

As soon as the Abomination was created by Locke, it roared and launched a furious attack on the Hulk. The Hulk was not intimidated at all and met the attack head-on.

boom! boom!

A series of muffled thuds, like thunderclaps, exploded out; the terrifying sound could be heard clearly even hundreds of meters away.

If this training ground hadn't been created and reinforced by Locke himself, it would probably have been destroyed by the two monsters in just a few breaths.

... 0 ...

This unprecedentedly fierce battle ended faster than anyone imagined. In just over ten seconds, Hulk was forcefully blasted out of the training field.

Hulk angrily got up to go back to fight, but Locke casually stopped him.

"Hulk, you can feel it now, right? The opponent is stronger than you."

The Hulk looked unwilling: "Hulk can still fight! The more Hulk fights, the stronger he gets!"

Locke shook his head: "I know you will grow stronger with each battle and will eventually surpass that guy, but that's not what I need. What I need is for you to defeat him with absolute strength, crushing him completely!"

Hulk hesitated for a moment, looking at Abomination in the distance, and said somewhat unwillingly, "Hulk can't do it now!"

"Hulk will try his best!"

"I know you'll try, but Hulk, do you know where you're going to be trying?"

The green fat guy looked completely bewildered. What was that thing?

Locke didn't care about Hulk's confusion. A wisp of chaotic power overflowed and entered Hulk's brain, transmitting images to Hulk.

War God Hulk, Green Emperor, Four-Armed Hulk, Immortal Hulk...

Those were Hulk's various advanced forms, powerful transformations, and world-destroying power. For a moment, Hulk was somewhat mesmerized, captivated by all those powerful forces.

After a while, Locke snapped his fingers, waking the Hulk from his reverie.

"Hulk, now you understand, right? Your potential is far greater than you imagined!"

"Choose a direction, then fight, fight and fight, and keep moving forward in that direction without ever backing down. Is that possible?"

"Hulk, you can do it!" The Hulk patted his chest vigorously!

Locke nodded, and with a casual flick of his wrist, the void shattered instantly.

"Hulk, go inside. Inside is a special space I created especially for you. There, there is nothing else but your opponents, countless powerful opponents!"

"Go in, and gain even greater power through battle!"

Without any hesitation, Hulk rushed in with immense excitement.

Having a clear goal, and then acquiring higher levels of power through endless battles, is a special training that only the Hulk can undergo.

Chapter 56 The Third Transaction - The Elf Queen

“Wanda, your ability to control the power of chaos is far from sufficient. The power of chaos is a near-omnipotent force. Theoretically speaking, this force can even create rules, causing the sun to rise in the west and set in the east, and water to flow uphill, and so on.”

Wanda seemed to understand something, carefully savoring Locke's guidance.

On the other side, the White Queen, nestled in Locke's arms, saw this scene and gently picked up a grape and put it in Locke's mouth.

"There's no need to be too strict with Wanda. She's already done a great job."

He slapped the White Queen hard on the rounded part of her body: "You have the nerve to say that? Wanda has been following you around lately and has become more and more lazy."

A seductive glint appeared in the White Queen's beautiful eyes: "What's wrong with this?"

"We have men, why should we work hard ourselves?"

Upon hearing this, Wanda blushed immediately.

As for jealousy and such, this is America, a capitalist paradise. With Locke's power and strength, no one cares if he has a few more women, and they themselves don't care either.

Just as Locke was about to teach the great demon a lesson, a notification sound suddenly rang out, and Locke's expression changed.

"I have something to do, I'll be leaving for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Locke's figure vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were in a closed, secret room.

"Unexpectedly, this has triggered the third interdimensional transaction now."

Without hesitation, Locke immediately opened the interdimensional trading interface.

Two days ago, in the interdimensional trade, the first world acquired Tom, and the second world acquired "303," a high-purity crystal comparable to a divine object, which helped him directly step into the realm of the sub-father. Naturally, Locke was also full of expectations for the third trade.

The familiar snowflake icon appeared, and after a moment, the image gradually became clear, revealing a picturesque scene to Locke.

Lush green trees and colorful flowers sway freely, while a few colorful birds flutter gracefully, creating an environment that resembles a fairyland.

Locke raised an eyebrow. What kind of world is this?

Judging by this scenery, it must be no ordinary world; at least, there are no colorful birds in the ordinary world.

The next moment, a figure appeared in Locke's line of sight.

This figure, well, her appearance is exquisite, but the word that comes to mind for anyone who sees her is definitely not "beautiful" or "sexy," but rather "noble"!

The figure in the picture exudes an aura of majesty and nobility, just like a queen!

In addition, his significantly taller stature than average creates an even more indescribable sense of oppression for ordinary people, especially men.

"What is this? And who are you?"

The conversation was rather cautious, but the expression on the other person's face remained icy cold, without the slightest change, as if the other person possessed absolute confidence that they could easily resolve any problems that might arise.

Locke admired this rare queen-like beauty: "This is interdimensional trading, connecting different worlds, allowing us to freely trade items from different worlds."

“Interdimensional trade, different worlds!” The queen-like beauty opposite her showed a clear change in emotion for the first time, but she quickly demonstrated amazing self-control and her face returned to its calm state.

"How can you prove what you're saying?"

The speaker's overly calm demeanor made Locke momentarily unable to discern whether the question stemmed from distrust or from casual conversation.

"No need for proof, just one transaction and you'll understand, won't you?"

The other party nodded. Indeed, once the transaction is completed, everything will be clear.

"So, what needs to be traded?"

"There are no fixed items; they are usually unique items from each world. As long as both parties feel that the value is equal, they can trade."

The queen-like beauty opposite him pondered for a moment, then took out an item.

Locke's eyes narrowed instantly. The thing in the other person's hand had appeared suddenly, which meant that the other side was not a world without magic. Good news.

"This is elven honey wine, may we trade?"

"Elven Honey Wine? You're an elf!"

The other party did not respond, but in some cases, no response is already an admission.

Locke fell into deep thought. A queen-like beauty, an elf, and just now he saw a strange ring on her hand, which seemed to be pulsating with ripples of energy.

After a moment of silence, Locke spoke: "Are you Galadriel, the Elf Queen?"

Upon hearing this, the queen opposite him looked at Locke with a cold expression: "According to you, we are from different worlds, and you shouldn't know me."

Locke did not respond to the Elf Queen's reply, but instead stroked his chin with an inscrutable expression.

It's actually the world of "The Lord of the Rings"! This is interesting. The world of "The Lord of the Rings" is quite high-level. Don't be fooled by the fact that the mages in it all look like berserkers and don't seem to have any mystery about them.

But in reality, this world is very mysterious, with a group of gods alone, from the lowest-ranking Maiar, to the higher-ranking Valar, and the highest-ranking creator god Ilúvatar.

Seeing Locke seemingly lost in thought and not answering the question for a long time, the Elf Queen Galadriel's expression grew even colder.

"If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I think this so-called deal can be terminated immediately!"

Locke raised his head: "A trade? Whatever. If you want to trade, great; if you don't, it doesn't matter. It won't cost me anything."

"Actually, I was just thinking that there doesn't seem to be anything in your world that I feel has much value."

The world of The Lord of the Rings is of a high level, but it is actually not very useful. The entire world is equivalent to the divine realm inside Ilúvatar's body. Any problem will be discovered by Ilúvatar immediately. Even a transaction would probably only need to be done once to attract Ilúvatar's attention.

What you want to do next won't be so simple.

Most importantly, upon closer examination, it seems there really isn't anything in the Lord of the Rings world that could truly capture Locke's heart.

The Lord of the Rings?

What good is a thing that can only turn invisible and corrupt people? Locke can easily create a ring that is much more powerful.

In the world of "The Lord of the Rings," because Ilúvatar is the master of everything and has an absurdly high level of supernatural control, the mystery surrounding him is relatively low, and the value of trading with him is not really that high.

The Elf Queen's expression grew even colder: "What do you mean?"

Locke said calmly, "It means what you think. In your world, the creator god Ilúvatar suppresses the extraordinary, and the supernatural is suppressed by a very strong force. There aren't many supernatural items of value. For example, that so-called Lord of the Rings has no value to me whatsoever."

The string of words made the Elf Queen frown. The person opposite her seemed to be very familiar with her and her world, and even seemed to know something about the Creator God.

But what does "extraordinary restraint" mean? And he even mentioned the One Ring—the One Ring has no value? The Elf Queen absolutely doesn't believe that!

The One Ring—that's a treasure that even the Maiar, the lesser gods, and even the Valar, the chief god, would care about.

"Forget it, there's no point in saying anything more. Here's a little something for you. Whether you want to keep in touch or not is up to you."
