After agreeing on a departure date a few days later, Lucas sent Little Gwen and Amazing Gwen back to Little Gwen's house.
As for the exact number of days, it depended on when Tony finished debugging the parameters. Unfortunately, Tony was busy recently, so it would have to be delayed for a few more days.
The next morning, Lucas woke up in the bookstore and opened his panel to check his points.
[Points: 291,557]
His points had increased by nearly 30,000.
On Earth-404, approximately 150,000 people died every day. Normally, this could provide Lucas with over 30,000 points. The reason it was less than 30,000 yesterday was that this was an average, not a fixed value.
At this moment, Lucas understood the joy of the Celestials.
But then, when he remembered that a single upgrade to his Sacred Body required three million points, he suddenly felt it was all rather dull.
He still needed to contact his patrons, the Dimensional Lords, more often to strengthen their relationship.
For example, the Blood God.
During the Inheritors incident, Lucas still had a score to settle with him. More importantly, he had the coordinates of the Dimension of Blood.
When Morlun went to the Dimension of Blood to receive the Blood God's baptism and strengthen himself, he unknowingly carried some of Lucas's divine power with him. Therefore, Lucas was able to successfully pinpoint the Dimension of Blood.
"Gwen, time to get up for breakfast."
Acting on his thoughts, Lucas planned to have breakfast with Gwen first. Once Gwen left to pursue her street hero career, he would go see the Blood God.
He believed that the citizens of New York City and the Blood God both had a bright future.
After a wash, Lucas joined Gwen for breakfast.
As Gwen ate, she asked, "Lucas, I feel like something has been added to my body. What's going on?"
Lucas was silent.
He suddenly remembered.
After his Indestructible Body transformed into a Sacred Body, the material composition of his body came from the pure white space, not the real Universe.
Focusing his mind, Lucas looked at Gwen. He found that pure white matter was integrating into her body, transforming into a special energy. It was a unique energy similar to Lucas's divine power, possessing extremely strong defensive and offensive capabilities.
"It's somewhat similar to pure white energy, yet different. Pure white energy mainly enhances your physique, spirit, and lifespan, Gwen."
"This substance will be absorbed and digested by your body, transforming into a special energy that can be used in combat."
"Oh."
After listening to Lucas's explanation, Gwen responded and no longer paid it any mind.
She trusted that Lucas would not harm her.
"By the way, Lucas. Matt recently discovered alien warship wreckage being sold in New York's underground black market."
"Hmm, I know. That's not strange." Lucas nodded calmly.
He was not surprised by this outcome.
Marx had long pointed out in Das Kapital that for 100% profit, capital dares to trample all human laws. With 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even risking the gallows.
And alien warship wreckage, due to the law of diminishing returns, could at times yield profits exceeding 1000%. It was only normal for someone to take such risks.
He had already entrusted S.H.I.E.L.D. with the task of handling the alien warship wreckage. Therefore, until the dust settled, he would not interfere.
What if S.H.I.E.L.D. was fishing?
His rash intervention would only disrupt S.H.I.E.L.D.'s arrangements.
After breakfast, once Gwen left, sparks flickered in front of Lucas, and a portal opened directly to the Dimension of Blood.
Dimension of Blood.
When the portal opened and Lucas stepped out, two cracks suddenly appeared in the blood moon in the sky. Those were a pair of eyes.
"Sorcerer Spider-Man! How dare you enter my Dimension of Blood?!"
A rumbling sound like thunder emanated from the blood moon, instantly traversing infinite distance and echoing throughout the entire dimension.
"Blood God, I'm here to settle a score with you."
Lucas's righteous voice also instantly traversed infinite distance, echoing in the Blood God's ears.
"Settle a score? Hahaha! We do indeed have a score to settle, Sorcerer Spider-Man."
Along with the voice, a massive crimson energy beam descended.
To the Blood God's astonishment, the crimson energy beam struck Lucas. This was his way of greeting and demonstrating his power. He did not expect such an obvious energy attack to actually hit.
In his opinion, Lucas had several ways to block or dodge it.
But opportunity knocks only once.
Seeing the attack hit, the Blood God decisively increased its intensity.
However, he quickly realized something was wrong.
Why was there no energy leakage at all?
It was as if this was not a battle.
The Blood God stared intently and discovered the truth—his energy was being devoured by Lucas.
"You dare to devour my energy in my dimension? Aren't you afraid of bursting?"
A hint of mockery flashed across the Blood God's face, yet he maintained the energy output.
"My energy is endless!"
It better be.
Seeing the Blood God so sensible, Lucas was no longer in a hurry to act.
His purpose in bothering the Blood God was for energy, and the Blood God was currently supplying him with energy. Since his goal had been achieved, there was naturally no need to change the current situation.
And facts quickly proved that the Blood God's energy was not endless. A moment later, the Blood God stopped his energy attack.
[Points +43,982,200]
"My energy is endless, is it?"
Hearing Lucas's mocking voice, the Blood God's body couldn't help but tremble with anger.
Spreading his wings, the blood moon transformed into a gigantic bat, swooping down towards Lucas on the ground.
The Blood God did not believe that Lucas would still be his match once he left the sun and lost his geographical advantage.
Lucas clenched his fist, divine power condensing.
Behind him, pure white matter continuously surged out, also forming a gigantic pure white fist.
As the Blood God approached, Lucas threw a punch. The pure white fist moved with him.
Splat!
The pure white fist collided with the bat's claw, there was no stalemate. The fist first crushed the claw, then transformed from a fist into a claw, grabbing the bat's neck and smashing it into the ground.
Time seemed to freeze, and the entire Dimension of Blood was still for a moment.
The next instant, a roar erupted, and a massive mushroom cloud rose from the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The earth trembled, and an impact swept out, engulfing the dimension.
When the smoke cleared, the sight of the Blood God's slightly dimmed body being held in Lucas's pure white hand, like a chick being pinched, was witnessed by all living beings within the entire Dimension of Blood.
For a time, in the Dimension of Blood, people's hearts were stirred and ambition arose.
They could be the next Dimension Lord.
"Blood God, can you listen to me settle the score now?" Lucas's calm voice rang out.
Compared to killing the goose that lays the golden egg, Lucas preferred sustainable fishing.
"You are not Sorcerer Spider-Man."
The Blood God's slightly trembling voice sounded, answering beside the point.
"You are not Spider-Man, it's impossible for Spider-Man to be this strong."
"You are an Elder God! Which Elder God are you?!"
