"William! Marcus! Get over here right now!" After some observation, the ancestor could only sense a vague power and couldn't figure out exactly what was happening. After all, not everyone had Clark's extraordinary vision. So, he directly shouted towards the outside.
"Buzz!"
The ancestor's voice echoed throughout the base camp. William and Marcus's bodies trembled violently. A flash of fear passed through their eyes as they quickly headed to the secret chamber where the ancestor was, not daring to delay for a moment.
"Ancestor!" Soon, William and Marcus stood respectfully on either side in the secret chamber, bowing to the ancestor.
"I told you to investigate the situation earlier. How much have you found out?" The ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at William and Marcus as he spoke.
"Reporting to the ancestor, we have already sent people to investigate. It shouldn't be long before we know what happened..." Marcus and William exchanged a glance, and Marcus, who was in charge, spoke up.
"Hmph!" However, before Marcus could finish, a cold snort interrupted him. The ancestor looked at Marcus coldly and said in a deep voice, "You'll know soon? Do you contact them daily? Do you know what they are doing now and what they have encountered?!"
"Uh..." Marcus was momentarily stunned by the ancestor's words, not knowing how to respond, because he indeed had not contacted the vampire grand duke daily to check on the investigation.
At this moment, Marcus felt a bit panicked because the ancestor's attitude seemed unusual, as if something had happened with the vampire grand duke that he wasn't aware of.
"Should I contact them now?" Seeing the ancestor's grim expression, Marcus hesitated for a moment before taking out his specialized communication device and attempting to contact the vampire grand duke.
However, the vampire grand duke and his men had been incinerated in the explosion flames. Even though the communication device was specially made and more durable than a phone, it had already been destroyed. Thus, Marcus couldn't contact the vampire grand duke at all.
"Is something really wrong?" Realizing he couldn't contact the vampire grand duke, Marcus's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly looked at William. William also realized that it was not the time to watch the drama; if this continued, not only would Marcus be punished by the ancestor, but he wouldn't escape either!
So William decisively tried to contact Marius, wanting to check the situation, but like Marcus, he got no response...
"Gulp!"
Feeling the increasingly cold temperature in the secret chamber, even the vampire and werewolf leaders William and Marcus sensed a chill. Instinctively swallowing their saliva, they stiffly looked towards the ancestor.
"This is your ability to handle matters? If it weren't for you two still being somewhat useful, I would have killed you by now!" The ancestor's expression grew colder. He sensed the dimensional power from the other side of the earth becoming more substantial and didn't want to waste any more time. He was ready to take action himself!
"Boom!" With a loud noise, William and Marcus were thrown out of the secret chamber, landing outside in a sorry state.
"Go! Bring all the experts from both clans! Head to America together, and I will guide you. If you can't satisfy me, then you no longer need to be my sons!" The ancestor's icy voice made Marcus and William shudder. They quickly turned around to execute the ancestor's orders.
This time, unlike the previous mission involving the vampire grand duke and Marius, the experts from both the vampire and werewolf clans were fully mobilized. They didn't need any technological means, transforming into a blood cloud and heading towards America.
Although the ancestor's voice continuously guided William and Marcus, his true form remained hidden, not even letting them know of his presence.
As a seasoned survivor who had lived for over a thousand years since the medieval times, this vampire and werewolf ancestor was extremely cautious. He had once hidden his strength, flattered, and begged to stay alive. Those who had suppressed him were long gone, not even their ashes remained...
This time, if it weren't for his power reaching a certain level and the dimensional power in America being something he longed for, he wouldn't be following in secret. He would continue sending William and Marcus to act.
If William and Marcus failed, he would replace them with new ones. After all, it wasn't his first time changing sons...
"Dimensional power... I stumbled upon you by chance but couldn't fully control you. Now, after accumulating for so many years, could this be my opportunity?" The ancestor's eyes blazed as he looked towards America, silently pondering.
Meanwhile, the Avengers had no idea that the vampire and werewolf experts, along with their ancestor, were heading their way. They were still in their secret base, feeling immense pressure as they watched a mass of black smoke gradually form into a monstrous shape in the sky!
Especially since the Avengers' combat power was not at its peak. The top fighter Martian Manhunter had lost his fighting ability due to the unextinguished explosion flames. Peter Parker had also lost the Venom's power boost because the method to enhance abilities through it hadn't been researched yet.
Morbius, another expert, was also affected. When the black smoke appeared, Morbius once again felt the oppressive presence of the vampire grand duke, even stronger than before!
Moreover, not only Morbius felt the oppression, but Blade, who had never experienced the shortcomings of vampire abilities, also felt the suppression.
As a result, the Avengers lost several powerful fighters at once. Facing this mysterious black smoke, they felt uncertain, especially since they had tried attacking it with their abilities, but their attacks passed through the smoke without causing substantial damage.
If the Avengers were ordinary superhumans, they would have fled. But the Avengers couldn't just walk away, not knowing what the black smoke would do to innocent people afterward.
The black smoke kept muttering about resentment and revenge for being killed twice. Hearing this, Blade awkwardly stood beside Johnny Storm.
Johnny was embarrassed for unintentionally destroying two of their own powerful fighters and seemingly accelerating the formation of resentment. Blade realized his earlier comments about him and Moon Knight killing the last batch of vampires and werewolves had also contributed to the resentment.
Johnny had tried to extinguish the surrounding explosion flames, but they had transformed, losing their explosive ability and gaining continuous burning power, completely out of Johnny's control...
"Die!" As the Avengers stared at the black smoke, a voice made up of countless overlapping voices shouted, and the smoke charged towards Blade and Moon Knight.
"Watch out!" The Avengers exclaimed, releasing their attacks to resist the smoke.
"Buzz!"
"Chirp!"
Fortunately, the smoke had transitioned from an ethereal to a solid state, allowing the Avengers' attacks to affect it.
"Damn it! You all deserve to die!!!"
When the Avengers blocked the smoke's attack, it let out a terrifying and resentful roar. The smoke solidified, forming a creature with bat wings, a vampire's head, and a werewolf's body.
"It's showing its true form! Use silver weapons against it!" Blade's eyes lit up. Despite the different appearance, he believed silver weapons would still be effective.
Especially since Peter Parker had speculated that the dimension behind the werewolves and vampires should also fear silver weapons. Blade decisively fired his silver bullets, even though the bat-werewolf's presence suppressed him, he wasn't entirely incapacitated!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
However, to Blade's surprise, his silver bullets passed through the bat-werewolf without causing any harm, showing no signs of erosion from the silver...
"These weapons won't work! This creature is made of resentment. Even if it has a solid form, it's not flesh and blood, so silver won't harm it..." Martian Manhunter, despite losing his powers, still had his insight, reminding the Avengers not to rely on silver weapons.
"Thud!" Moon Knight's crescent darts hit the bat-werewolf, causing some damage but failing to draw blood or power as before.
As Martian Manhunter predicted, the bat-werewolf wasn't a living being but a manifestation of condensed resentment with dimensional power.
How this resentment invoked dimensional power was unknown, perhaps due to its intensity and quantity...
"Buzz!" As Moon Knight's crescent dart inflicted some damage, a force from the bat-werewolf repelled the dart into the ground, and it didn't return despite Moon Knight's calls, leaving him embarrassed.
"Thankfully, I didn't consider myself invincible after gaining a divine weapon, or reviving wouldn't be enough to save me..." Moon Knight felt relieved despite the awkwardness. Without his crescent dart, his strength seemed insufficient to harm the bat-werewolf.
"Buzz!" As Moon Knight pondered, a terrifying pressure filled the secret base. The Avengers felt a massive impact on their consciousness, as if they were thrown into a tornado, their senses blurring.
At the same time, they heard ghostly, resentful voices vowing revenge, pulling them into hell. The Avengers felt their heads were about to explode, not realizing it was their souls being attacked by the bat-werewolf's resentment!
"Watch out!" Some Avengers, like Lorna and Susan Storm, along with the still-conscious Martian Manhunter, weren't as severely affected.
Martian Manhunter could only warn the Avengers, unable to counter the bat-werewolf's soul attack. Lorna and Susan Storm struggled to shield the Avengers from harm...
"Damn, what a mess!" A surprised voice echoed in the base, and the soul attack on the Avengers vanished.
The newcomer was Robert, who had received messages from Tony Stark and Jarvis. Seeing the Avengers writhing on the ground, Robert recalled scenes from "Journey to the West" where
Sun Wukong rolled on the ground. This was his first time seeing so many people rolling together...
"Such strong resentment! What did you all do?" After dispelling the soul attack, Robert looked at the bat-werewolf in amazement.
