New York.
Inside a Villa.
He woke up.
"How did I get here?"
Nolan's head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, the pain unbearable.
He tried to recall what had happened yesterday, but no matter how hard he tried, his mind was shrouded in a mist, a chaotic void where he could remember nothing.
"Venom? Pamela?"
Two calls went unanswered.
Nolan got out of bed and stumbled out.
As he moved, the throbbing pain in his head gradually subsided, but the confusion and unease in his heart grew stronger.
What happened yesterday? Why couldn't he remember anything? No, it wasn't just yesterday; there was a large blank space in his memory.
But for now, he needed to find Pamela and the others.
Downstairs, the living room was empty; there was no one there. The entire room was deserted.
Nolan picked up his communicator.
"Leader, what are your orders?"
Tom's respectful voice came from within.
"What happened yesterday? Do you know?"
Nolan asked directly.
Tom, bound by contract, was the person he trusted most.
"Yesterday, an enemy appeared in New York. Although they were dealt with, the Demon Group suffered heavy losses, and all the ladies perished."
The news from within stunned Nolan. His first reaction was, 'How is that possible?'
An uncontrollable power erupted from his body. His eyes instantly turned blood-red, and powerful energy swirled around him, directly shattering the roof. He shot into the sky, hovering in the air.
The entire city of New York was reduced to ruins, with burning flames and billowing smoke everywhere. The broken walls and shattered remnants spoke of the fierce battle that had taken place. The once bustling streets were now desolate, skyscrapers lay toppled, and the former hustle and bustle were replaced by a deathly silence.
"How could this be?!"
Nolan flew towards the Demon Group.
Although he had lost a part of his memory, he had deployed many forces on Earth, and it shouldn't have ended so disastrously.
He quickly arrived at the Demon Group. Outside the Demon Group, a giant glass statue appeared: Sandman.
"FK!"
Nolan's face was grim as he entered the internal laboratory.
Tony, Banner, Otto, and Tom were all there.
Nolan grabbed Tony.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Where are my Magic Weapon Unit, Demon Army, and Mutants?"
"Because the opponent was also a Demon King."
Tony looked at him calmly.
"What do you mean?"
The next moment, a holographic projection appeared in the laboratory.
In the projection, a huge void appeared in the sky above New York. Countless demons emerged from it, along with Mutants and even Universe battleships.
Without warning, Earth quickly mounted a resistance.
Then, Pamela, Venom, Lorna, Jean, and his own figure also appeared in the projection.
But soon, another Nolan appeared. He was incredibly strong. Pamela was torn apart by him, Venom was smashed to pieces, and Jean was burned to ashes by Heat Vision.
His Demon Army, Magic Weapon Unit, and Mutants were completely annihilated in just a few seconds.
Even he himself was trampled underfoot and knocked unconscious by a punch to the back of his head.
Then, he said to Nolan, who was outside the screen: "You are a piece of trash!"
Bang!
Nolan punched and shattered the projection screen, an angry expression on his face, and a massive surge of energy erupted from his body.
"Where is he!!!"
Tony felt a chill from his glowing red eyes.
"That Demon King is from another parallel Universe. He's currently conquering the Multiverse. We can't defeat him. Even if you go, it'll just be… Wait, wait, but we have a way to make you stronger again."
Tony, seeing the Heat Vision about to shoot out, quickly blurted it out.
"What method?"
The red light in Nolan's eyes faded, and he temporarily calmed down.
"Do you remember the God of Fear from before? We studied his body and found a way. We can modify your body and transfer his ability to absorb fear to you, but you must relax completely and cooperate with us."
Hearing the method he proposed, Nolan frowned.
"Of course, you can choose not to, but we don't know when the other Demon King will appear again."
"Prepare!"
Upon hearing this, Nolan went to a nearby operating table and lay down.
"But remember, if you fail, I will kill you all."
His cold gaze sent a chill through most people's hearts.
With Nolan's cooperation, the medicine quickly took effect, and he fell into a deep sleep.
"I smell fear. Just a fake made you all afraid. Facing the true Usurper, you won't just wet yourselves, will you!"
Killian looked at everyone disdainfully, his disguise removed, revealing himself to be the God of Fear, Orochi.
"Orochi, if you knew the true power of the Demon King, you wouldn't say such things. Being his enemy, fear is not shameful."
Banner's appearance changed. Mister Sinister said calmly.
"Besides, if I'm not mistaken, not long ago, you were almost killed by this fake."
Tony's disguise was removed, revealing Loki!
"Hmph! Frost Giant, you should be grateful your true body isn't here."
Orochi looked at him coldly.
"As if you'd dare to kill me if I were."
Loki's face was full of sarcasm as he retorted fearlessly.
Orochi was enraged by Loki's words, and a stronger, green fear energy instantly permeated his body.
"Enough."
Just two simple words made them stop.
A dark figure slowly emerged from the shadows. He was completely shrouded in shadow, his face unclear, only his bat-like attire visible.
"Don't forget our goal, Avengers."
"Of course I know. Eliminate the Demon King. No one here objects, but I highly doubt your plan will actually work. You know the Demon King still has the Infinity Gauntlet. One snap and we're all dead."
Loki said, questioning.
"I have other plans for the Infinity Gauntlet; I will make it useless. As for the Demon King, he will deal with him."
The Leader looked at Nolan, whose chest cavity was open.
His words could definitely kill the Demon King.
"Him? A junkie? Although he's strong, I don't think he can defeat the Demon King alone."
Loki shook his head.
"He is only the key to the plan, not the whole."
"What is the whole plan?"
"You will know."
"Alright, Riddler, last question, how did you find this guy?"
Loki spread his hands helplessly.
"In another World."
The Leader said no more, simply gazing quietly at Nolan on the operating table.
When Nolan awoke again, he felt no change in his power and frowned.
"This is your method of strengthening my power? I don't feel any stronger."
"Nolan, there's one last step, and you need to complete it yourself."
Tony stepped forward, holding pictures of the capitals of various countries in this World.
"Destroy them, create fear."
Nolan hesitated; he didn't want to do that.
"This is a necessary sacrifice. After we defeat the Demon King, we'll give them enough compensation, and they'll understand."
Mister Sinister's mental power subtly influenced Nolan.
A red light flashed in Nolan's eyes, and he recalled his hatred for the Demon King!!!
He immediately flew out and began to wreak havoc on various buildings.
The fear of humanity transformed into powerful energy, continuously pouring into his body.
"To defeat the Demon King, your sacrifices are worth it."
Nolan looked down at the devastated city with pity, but he didn't notice the excited smile on his lips.
He then went to other places to continue the destruction.
In the eyes of Loki and the others, Nolan was merely destroying a series of strangely shaped buildings.
And the humans who died were nothing more than small, ugly goblins.
