Chapter 602: One Stone Three Birds
Swear to God?
Erik was stunned for a few seconds. This was not a small matter.
In the western faith, God could be said to be a unique existence. After all, it was the common faith of the three great sects in the world, so there were very few people who dared to swear in the name of God.
Especially the content of the oath, it was actually so 'vicious'!
It was not a casual vow to be burned and pierced in hell.
If one had a general understanding of the history of the West, they would know that this vow was targeted at Count Dracula, the rumored traitor who betrayed God and was turned into a monster who had been fed blood and suffered pain.
From this, one could imagine the seriousness of Tony's oath.
In the middle East, where the faith was thicker, the punishment for violating the oath of God was more serious. Therefore, Erik subconsciously believed that Tony would not break his promise, so he told the truth he knew in detail.
From Erik's description, Tony received a shocking piece of news.
Mandarin, who was in control of the Ten Ring Gang, was Aldrich Killian, the founder of Aim and the creator of the Desperate Virus, the collaborator that Maya Hansen spoke of, and the bearded old man who appeared on the television was actually an actor substitute.
Using the uniqueness of the Death Virus, Killian recruited a large number of soldiers who were disabled because of the war. By injecting them with the Death Virus Potion, he created a large number of deathsworn who followed his lead.
Moreover, Killian's evil plan was far from over.
His real goal was to rob Rhoddy's war machine, get close to and capture the most authoritative president of the US. From then on, he would be able to control the largest terrorist organization in the dark, and control the most powerful empire in the world.
"Why did you capture Potts?" Tony asked again.
"Lord Killian said that you are not worthy of having such a good woman as Miss Potts. He wanted you to experience the pain he felt back then." Since it had already been leaked, Airick felt like he was going to throw the bucket away and said, "He still needs to inject the Death Virus into Potts, but he is still working on the potion, so it will take some time."
Tony clenched his fists subconsciously and felt that time was pressing. He said, "There is one last question. Who turned you into this half hollow form?"
"No. I don't know." Erik was at a loss, but when he saw the cold glint in Tony's eyes, he shouted in horror, "I... I remember. At the very beginning, we were injected with the Death Virus and would not be in this state until that day when a person suddenly appeared."
"A person?" Tony narrowed his eyes. "Continue. Who is it?"
"It is a woman wearing a white military uniform." Rick swallowed and recalled, "She has always been wearing a mask and her whereabouts are very mysterious. We have never seen her appearance. The reason why we can become like this is because of that woman."
"It really is the Wandenreich."
Tony slowly closed his eyes. He already knew who that person was.
If he was not wrong, that woman should be the one who kidnapped Potts and injured Peter and Happy at the exposition. She was also the one who caused these people - hollow.
But when he thought of Haschwalth, he could not help feeling a little apprehensive.
The reason why the Quincy of the Wandenreich suddenly intervened in this matter was certainly not as simple as it seemed on the surface. At least he did not think that the desperate virus alone could attract the behemoth of the Wandenreich.
Unless the thing in the hands of Killian could arouse the interest of the Quincy.
Otherwise, it was impossible to explain that the Wandenreich, which could compete with Soul Society for a thousand years and even made him very afraid, would suddenly join hands with the head of a terrorist organization. This was not possible from that side.
"I've already told you all the secrets. Can you let me go now?" Asked Erik carefully, interrupting Tony who was deep in thought.
"Of course you can ---"
Tony retracted his wandering thoughts and looked at him meaningfully. "However, the place you are going to should be the world of the dead."
"You... you don't keep your word!" Erik instantly understood what he meant and shouted in horror, "You have sworn to God. Aren't you afraid that you will break your oath and be sent to hell after you die"
"I'm sorry."
Holding sword, Tony slightly turned his head and said, "I am now death god, not under the control of that old man God. And the most important thing is that no one told you not to believe the words of capitalists?"
As everyone knew, the words of capitalists were basically nonsense.
Not to mention, from the very beginning, Tony had never intended to let go of Erik. Countless people had died under his hands, and if he was let go, it would only cause more harm.
It was true that keeping a promise was a virtue, but the premise was that it was based on morality.
Erik roared and wanted to fight to the death, but unfortunately, he was destined to do nothing. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how he struggled in the middle, it would not affect the direction of the final outcome.
Whoosh!
The clear sound of sword's voice rang out, and a cold light appeared in Erik's eyes.
Then, he felt a sense of loss. The scenery in front of Erik was spinning. Suddenly, he widened his eyes and saw the back of his body, as well as Tony, who was standing on his shoulder and sheathing sword.
"You... lied to me."
Erik, who only had one head left, stared at Tony with a resentful gaze, as if he could be killed like this.
"Yes, I lied to you."
Tony curled his lips and said coldly, "The person I hate the most in my life is you bunch of horrible people. If you want me to let you go, unless God himself comes down to plead for you!"
In his heart filled with unwillingness and resentment, the half- hollow body disintegrated into spirit particles and dissipated into the air.
Looking at the ruined villa, Tony was silent for a few minutes and then calmly said, "Jarvis, spread the news that I was attacked by the Ten Ring Gang and then died."
"Forgive me for being blunt, Mr. Stark." Jarvis was very puzzled by this order and asked, "It won't do you any good. If you spread this news without Miss Potts, it will cause a big problem in the group."
"I want this effect."
Tony came to the end and slowly walked into gigai. He looked at the unconscious Maya Hansen and said, "If you want to investigate the Wandenreich, I must disappear from the public's sight. No one will suspect a dead person. Only then will I have the chance to save Potts."
"Mr. Stark, do you need to inform S. H. I. E. L. D. in advance?" Jarvis asked again.
Tony thought about it carefully and felt that it was too dangerous to do so, so he shook his head and said, "Don't inform them for the time being. Freddie should be able to guess."
The seriousness of this matter had already exceeded the scope of his control.
The powerful Tony of the Wandenreich had long seen it. Destroying a city was an easy matter. He knew that with his own strength, there was no way he could contend against it. Only Soul Society, who represented Lod, had the qualifications to compete with him.
But the problem was that Soul Society was also his 'enemy'!
Soul Society might not be able to take care of the Wandenreich, but he would definitely be able to take care of this fake.
Therefore, he had to grasp the boundaries and guide Soul Society to discover the traces of the Wandenreich through some extremely obscure means without attracting Soul Society's attention.
In this way, he could take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.
At the same time as rescuing Potts, he could also destroy Kyrie's plan and shatter the scheme of the Wandenreich. It could be said to be one stone three birds!
"Let's go to Tennessee!"
Tony took a deep breath and said worriedly, "I hope everything will go as smoothly as I wish."
