Although the world was a complete mashup,
The core of it was still mainly the Marvel Universe according to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s history.
It was just mixed together with plots from DC, X-Men, The Boys, and other worlds.
And,
There were also timeline differences.
Logically speaking,
The events of Heroes should happen after X-Men.
Even though Lorna was Magneto’s daughter, her father should already be dead.
But in this world, Magneto was still alive, leading the Brotherhood around the world and trying to restore mutant dominance.
There were many timeline changes like this.
Marcus found it very interesting.
Variables meant challenges.
At the same time,
He also locked onto those powerful women and started planning how to win them over.
Naturally,
He wasn’t going to miss out on treasures like the Mother Box or the Infinity Stones.
While sorting through the information,
Marcus twitched his ears slightly and heard a report coming through Sharon’s earpiece.
“Agent Romanoff is currently leading the target’s woman through combat testing in the training room.
Your available time is running out.”
Marcus raised his head and looked at Sharon.
She smiled naturally and gave him a questioning look.
Marcus pointed at his ear.
“The target?”
Sharon’s smile froze instantly.
What the hell!
Her earpiece was a built-in combat model.
Even someone standing right next to her normally wouldn’t hear anything!
Marcus hearing was ridiculously broken!
Just as Sharon thought her mission was already doomed to fail because of this mistake…
Marcus casually said, “Since Fury already sent someone over, then I won’t bother chasing you myself.
You can just register as my wife.”
Sharon: (●—●)
Huh?
He already knew she was sent to monitor him, yet he still accepted her?
Was he seriously just interested in her looks?
This…
Was the mission really that easy?
Marcus continued reading while speaking casually.
“As long as they’re beautiful, value themselves, have good qualities, and are willing to help me, I welcome them all.”
“As for whether they have other motives, I don’t care.”
“It’s nothing more than gathering intelligence or worrying that I’m a threat to Earth.”
“A fair exchange is fair.”
The meaning was obvious…
He was basically encouraging Fury to send more female agents like Sharon.
Sharon’s expression turned strange.
It was her first undercover mission, yet she ended up meeting someone this weird…
She was completely overwhelmed.
Fortunately,
Fury had been monitoring things the entire time and immediately gave an order.
“Agent Carter, continue the mission and do as he says.”
Sharon pressed her lips together but didn’t respond immediately.
At first she thought she’d only need to use her appearance a little…
Who knew she’d have to commit herself completely?
“Sharon Carter!
Don’t forget your identity!” Fury said seriously.
“And this was Peggy Carter’s decision as well.”
Sharon sighed softly.
“I understand.” Sharon said seriously.
“Even though there wasn’t a proposal, I still agree to become your wife.”
Right in front of Marcus,
She logged into the official system, where there were no restrictions on polygamy, using the S.H.I.E.L.D.
intranet and added her name under Marcus account.
Directly beneath Darcy.
Becoming the second wife without even being asked properly, what kind of situation was this?
Still…
“System, she’s already registered, so why isn’t there a reward?”
[Please complete the actual husband and wife relationship and avoid exploiting system loopholes!]
Well…
If the system hadn’t mentioned it, Marcus really wouldn’t have realized it worked like this.
Standing up,
Marcus smiled and said, “I’ve read enough for now.
Let’s go find Darcy and the others.”
As for fully winning over Sharon?
She was already basically in the bowl, so there was no rush.
Sharon didn’t say much and simply led the way with her long legs.
Marcus admired them while already thinking to himself that they definitely had development potential…
…
Needless to say,
Darcy completely overwhelmed Natasha physically.
But when it came to fighting skills, she knew basically nothing.
She had incredible strength and speed, but only knew how to throw straightforward punches.
Against Natasha, who specialized in defeating stronger opponents with skill, Darcy couldn’t win immediately.
Honestly…
If Marcus fought Natasha without using the Twelve Talismans, he’d probably struggle too.
But,
The physical gap made most fighting techniques meaningless anyway.
Joint locks?
She could crush your bones with her fingers.
Scissor holds?
She’d just lift you up and slam you down with brute force.
Because of that,
Natasha didn’t dare get close carelessly and instead used the sparring session to teach Darcy better control over her strength.
At first,
Darcy’s clumsy attacks were easy for Natasha to dodge.
But after getting used to it, Darcy accidentally sped up and threw a punch!
Natasha barely had time to cross her arms in front of her chest before she was blasted backward, smashing hard into the wall and slowly sliding down after several seconds.
There was no movement.
It was impossible to tell whether she was alive or dead!
Seeing Natasha lying there motionless, Darcy was so scared she almost stopped breathing!
“Cough!”
Natasha suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Whoosh!”
Marcus instantly appeared beside Natasha and used the Horse talisman to heal her.
Natasha immediately recovered completely, though fear still lingered in her eyes.
“I, I’m sorry!” Darcy cried.
“I didn’t mean to do it!
You dodged so easily before, so I sped up a little…
I’m really sorry!”
“It’s okay.
I was the careless one for not wearing protective gear.” Natasha comforted her instead.
“I’m fine now, aren’t I?”
That only made Darcy feel even guiltier.
While Natasha comforted Darcy,
She looked up and met Marcus’ half-smiling gaze.
How could the famous Black Widow make such a low-level mistake?
Or did she intentionally get punched away right after Marcus arrived because she knew he could heal her?
Marcus didn’t believe otherwise.
“Don’t let it happen again.” Marcus said calmly.
Darcy thought he was talking to her and nodded repeatedly, promising there wouldn’t be a next time.
Only Natasha and Sharon understood that the warning was actually directed at Natasha.
“Darcy, let me introduce someone.” Marcus pulled Sharon over and said, “This is my new wife, Sharon Carter.
You two can sort out seniority by age.”
Darcy froze.
What the hell…
They were only apart for a few hours and he already married another wife?
Then she quickly relaxed.
After all, Marcus had taken her down in less than half an hour too…
And!
Since this was a newlywed, then Marcus definitely wouldn’t spend tonight with her.
That meant she could finally rest properly!
Thinking about that,
Darcy happily hugged Sharon.
“Welcome, welcome!
It’s great to have you here!”
Sharon herself was completely stunned.
Originally, she had prepared herself to be treated differently as the “new girl.”
But somehow…
Darcy actually looked happy?
“Alright, keep practicing.” Marcus looked at Sharon.
“I want to learn some fighting techniques too.
Will you teach me?”
Naturally, Sharon didn’t refuse and nodded.
Compared to Darcy, who completely lacked control over her strength, Marcus handled everything perfectly.
So Sharon changed her teaching method and demonstrated every movement up close, guiding him hand by hand.
Very quickly, she slipped naturally into the role of a wife, her body brushing against his unintentionally.
Off to the side,
Although Darcy felt a little jealous, she also showed a mysterious smile.
The closer they acted now, the more exhausted Sharon would be tonight!
…
Early the next morning.
Inside Sharon’s agent lounge.
Marcus casually used the Horse talisman to smooth out the slight crease between his brows.
Looking at the bloodstain on the bedsheets, he nodded with satisfaction.
After taking a shower, Marcus felt refreshed.
“Ding!”
His phone received a text message from an unknown number.
[6 PM, Michigan.]
Marcus understood immediately.
It was from Kara.
As for why there wasn’t an exact address?
“She’s testing me.”
Marcus smiled and shook his head before opening the system notification.
[Congratulations to the host for marrying “Sharon Carter,” expanding the family’s network.
Reward obtained: “Minor Spiritual Power Enhancement”;]
Marcus immediately felt his mind become much clearer and lighter.
Hm?
What kind of reward was that?
“System, explain.”
[Enhancing spiritual power to a certain level will unlock higher ratings and raise the upper limits of abilities!]
“Ratings?
Where can I see them?”
This time the system didn’t answer directly and instead displayed a panel.
====================
Host: Marcus;
Rating: [B-]
Rewards: A-rank “Twelve Talismans”, A-rank “Gate of Babylon”, D-rank “Strength Enhancement Serum”;
Members: [darcy lewis], [Sharon Carter];
====================
Marcus: “???”
“System, I have two A-rank rewards and I’m only B-rank?
And barely at that?”
[The upper limit of the “Twelve Talismans” is restricted by the host’s inability to fully utilize them!]
[The “Gate of Babylon” requires enough weapons to fully display its true power!]
Well…
That explanation actually made sense.
He’d mostly been focused on chasing women and messing around before instead of properly studying the system.
He tapped Darcy’s name.
====================
Wife: Darcy Lewiis;
Rating: [F]
Ability: “Physical Enhancement”;
====================
A seven-times physical enhancement was only rated F, then…
Marcus tapped Sharon’s name.
====================
Wife: Sharon Carter;
Rating: [H+]
Ability: “Agent”;
====================
As expected!
The limit of ordinary humans was probably around H+.
That being the case,
Marcus’ B-rank was already incredibly powerful.
He took out another Strength Enhancement Serum, drank it, then leaned over Sharon.
After all, they were already living together.
Now he just needed to wait.
Leaving the agent lounge,
Marcus had barely walked a few steps before Natasha approached him.
She wore a low-cut office skirt, black stockings, and gold-rimmed glasses, a standard sexy secretary outfit.
Very seductive.
Natasha leaned forward slightly and reported professionally.
“Miss Darcy is still resting.
Based on her normal biological schedule, she likely won’t wake up for another three hours.”
“As for the transaction materials, Director Nick Fury has already prepared everything.
You may inspect them at any time.”
“Do you have any breakfast requirements?
S.H.I.E.L.D.
can prepare cuisines from all over the world.”
Very professional.
Marcus nodded and said, “Prepare something that restores energy quickly for Sharon.
You know what I mean.”
Natasha acknowledged the order, though there was a trace of envy in her eyes…
Was this the effect of the potion?
If the medicine could be administered through injection, then she could do it too…
