The Lord of Hell

Chapter 3041 Darkening
Although the silver door in front of them does have a sci-fi feel, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a particularly powerful instrument, let alone an instrument that cost 100 million US dollars to create. It is normal for the Human Torch and the Thing to have doubts.

"Cheating Iron Man's funds? What nonsense are you two talking about?"

Dr. Reed, the amazing Mr., shouted in dissatisfaction: "Am I that kind of person? Even if I go bankrupt, I will never engage in short-selling projects to defraud funds."

"Before you go bankrupt, please pay me this month's salary. Oh, and the bonus, too."

Human Torch said that Dr. Reed was so angry that he almost killed someone. It was really miserable to have such a brother-in-law. What, he is not his brother-in-law now? Damn, it is even more miserable.

"No more nonsense, this is the multi-energy gate I invented."

Dr. Reed pointed at the door and said, “Once activated, it will summon us from other worlds, merge with us, and then help us absorb a large amount of cosmic energy.

In fact, we are not short of cosmic energy, because I have already researched a method to extract cosmic energy."

"Yes, Iron Man has also researched it. Moreover, he has also researched the cosmic energy potion and the cosmic fusion potion."

The Stone Man said, Dr. Reed looked unhappy, now is the time for me to brag, what do you mean by always mentioning Iron Man?
I admit that I developed this technology a little later than Iron Man, but that’s not because I’m not capable, but because I don’t have money.

Thunderbolt urged, "Reed, ignore that big idiot, just keep talking."

"We are not short of cosmic energy, but we have an upper limit."

Dr. Reed said: “Unless we comprehend the power of rules, we will not be able to absorb the energy of the universe all the time and can only improve temporarily. This is our own limitation and also the orthodox way to break through the Heavenly Father.

The problem is that this takes time, and we don't have time now. The Villain League and Dr. Doom are pressing us step by step. We must improve our strength as soon as possible."

The Human Torch and the Thing nodded at the same time. That was indeed the case. This was also the reason why they came to this laboratory with Dr. Reed. You know, normally the two of them were not willing to come here at all, because once they entered here, they would feel like they had become experimental subjects.

“We have to be clever.”

Dr. Reed continued: “This portal can help us take advantage of the situation and integrate a large number of ourselves from other worlds. On the one hand, we can comprehend the power of rules in them.

On the other hand, we can use their power to raise our upper limit, and then madly absorb cosmic energy, or high-quality multiverse energy. By then, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change, and we may be able to break through God the Father.

Of course, this world has limitations, and we may not be able to break through, but even if we cannot break through, this door can at least help us improve to a level that is only one step away from God the Father, that is, the strongest level below God the Father.

By then, when the three of us merge together, we will most likely be able to break through and become Heavenly Father God."

"So, this thing that looks like a scam is actually a good thing."

Thunderbolt's eyes lit up, and so did the Stoneman, he had always longed to break through to God the Father, because after the breakthrough, his body would be able to return to its original state, and then he could be a real man again. You know, he has a girlfriend.

"This thing is not a scam. One hundred million US dollars is in it. I also borrowed fifty million from the bank."

Dr. Reed cursed, and he said, "Okay, the principle has been explained. No more nonsense. I will start first. When I succeed, you can come later."

Although Dr. Reed is a little arrogant and his investments are bound to fail, this has nothing to do with his character. He is a true superhero and he has all the virtues that a superhero should have.

"Reid, I understand your thoughts, but I have to do this first."

The Stone Man patted Dr. Reed on the shoulder and said, "I am the guardian of the Fantastic Four. If there is danger, I will be the first one to go. Don't oppose me. This is God's will, otherwise He would not let me become a hard stone man."

Upon hearing this, Thunderbolt complained: "Even God has come out? Let me do it. I am the strongest among you all. If there is any danger, I will take responsibility."

Thunderbolt himself is not a very responsible person, the reason he spoke was purely to show off.

"I understand your good intentions, but I'll do this. After all, this is the instrument I invented."

Dr. Reed said, then he pushed the two people aside, walked to the door, stood there, started the instrument, and the door frame immediately began to flash with moving lights.

When the Human Torch and the Thing saw this scene, they couldn't help but complain, is Dr. Reed really not defrauding funds?
Dr. Reed is certainly not trying to defraud money. As the instrument runs, he merges with Dr. Reed from other universes. The process is very smooth because these Dr. Reeds have the same dream, which is to defeat someone and get his girlfriend back.

After completing the first step, Dr. Reed started the second step and began to absorb cosmic energy frantically. Because of the help of other Dr. Reeds, his upper limit was greatly increased, enough to accommodate these cosmic energies.

With the help of the vast cosmic energy, Dr. Reed's aura increased sharply and his whole body floated up.

The Human Torch and the Thing were stunned. Did Dr. Reed's invention succeed? Actually, this was normal. Although Dr. Reed made some mistakes, his inventions basically never had any problems.

“I succeeded. Although I cannot break through to Heavenly Father God, my strength will reach the strongest level below Heavenly Father God. Moreover, as long as I leave this world, I will be able to break through immediately.”

Dr. Reed was thinking happily, but at this moment, a wisp of negative energy poured into Dr. Reed's mind, and his thoughts gradually began to change.

"The Mechanical Demon King stole my girlfriend, why should I admit defeat? Susan is obviously mine."

Dr. Reed thought angrily: "I want to defeat the Mechanical Demon King and take back Susan. Whoever dares to stop me will be my enemy!"

As his thoughts changed, Dr. Reed's breath gradually became colder. Although the Human Torch and the Thing felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around them, they did not understand what was going on and just thought it was a normal phenomenon of the equipment operating.

In the sky, an eye was watching everything in the laboratory. When it saw Dr. Reed beginning to turn darker, it nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone has negative emotions and negative thoughts, but most people can suppress these negative emotions and keep themselves in a normal state. Dr. Reed is the same. His girlfriend was taken away by someone, so how could he not be angry?
But good upbringing, kind character, and love for Susan made Dr. Reed put aside his anger and choose to do nothing - of course, do you still expect him to bless Susan and the Mechanical Demon King?

Although he has let it go, deep down in Dr. Reed's heart, he still feels angry and unwilling, which is why he can resonate with other Dr. Reeds.

And now, under the influence of negative aura, the darkness in Dr. Reed's heart occupies his mind. In simple terms, he has turned evil, and he wants to defeat the mechanical devil and take Susan back.

After a while, Dr. Reed absorbed the cosmic energy to its limit. He stopped the device, fell from mid-air, and said coldly to the Human Torch and the Thing: "It's your turn."

After deactivating the device, Dr. Reed no longer had any other Dr. Reed in him, only himself.

"Reed, are you pretending to be an expert?"

Thunderbolt complained, he said: "You are pretending well, but it is still a little worse than me. I will teach you later."

After saying that, the Human Torch strode to the gate. Although Dr. Reed was a little unhappy, he didn't do anything much. After all, he still needed the Human Torch's help, and besides, he was his brother-in-law.

Then, Dr. Reed activated the instrument, and the Human Torch began to absorb cosmic energy. Then, like Dr. Reed, he gradually turned evil.

There is not much darkness in the heart of Thunderbolt, but he is very ambitious. He wants to become the most powerful and most prominent person on earth. Then, everyone will worship him, and all the beauties will be proud to have a relationship with him.

At the same time, Thunderbolt can do whatever he wants, and no one can control him or stop him from doing this or that.

The Human Torch is actually a smaller version of Homelander with a sense of justice. The reason why he didn't turn bad is because he has a good sister and two good friends, Dr. Reed and the Thing. Of course, he himself is not a bad person.

Under the influence of the negative aura, the Thunderbolt finally turned evil. He opened his hands and shouted arrogantly: "I am God."

"You're not in your right mind, get out now, it's my turn."

The Stone Man complained, and Thunderbolt was a little annoyed, but considering that the Stone Man was his tool, he did not lose his temper. He just gave him the middle finger and backed away. Then, it was the Stone Man's turn to turn evil.

The Stone Man is kind, loyal and responsible, but there is actually a lot of darkness in his heart.

This is normal. He turned into a monster inexplicably, his fiancée broke off the engagement, passers-by despised and questioned him... After experiencing all these things, how could he not be angry at all?
In the past, the kindness of the Stone Man was enough to suppress the darkness, but because of the surge of negative energy, the Stone Man turned evil. He no longer wanted to protect those who discriminated against him. He wanted to take back everything he had lost, and he wanted those who abandoned him to pay the price.

"I am not a stone man, I am the king of stone."

The Thing roared, Dr. Reed and Human Torch looked disgusted, what an ugly name, it was worse than the original one.

The stone man was furious when he saw the looks in the two men's eyes. He was about to lose his temper, but Dr. Reed said, "We are one family. We want to realize our dreams. There are many obstacles ahead. We need to unite and work together."

“Yes, we need unity and cooperation.”

The Human Torch and the Thing nodded in agreement at the same time. Although they had turned evil, they had not lost their original wisdom and emotions, they just thought differently.
