52: Are you trying to extort money? No! I'm just asking for your life back!

Loki from beyond the wall?

Ancient One's address for him surprised Joa.

But then he thought about it and felt relieved.

Deadpool can climb walls and kill editors.

Ancient One might also know about the World beyond the wall.

Thinking of this, Joa spoke seriously.

"Since You've guessed some of my origins, I'll be frank."

"I have no interest in devouring Earth."

"I don't like living in a World with no material possessions, a dark and oppressive World."

"I need a place to enjoy life."

"So You can rest assured."

Joa was telling the truth, because the instance World cannot start quests.

So he would not choose to reside permanently in any instance World.

He currently only wants to reside permanently in the Marvel Universe.

Quietly watching Joa.

For a long time.

"The Sorcerer Supreme... will always watch You..."

Then Ancient One suddenly disappeared, just as she had arrived.

'What does that mean? She's not going to bother me anymore?'

'And what she said means that not only will she guard against me, but Strange, who will succeed her as Sorcerer Supreme, will also guard against me?'

"Tsk! That's a bit annoying!"

Blacklight Eye on the side, hearing this, tilted its dog head to look at Joa.

"Father God, should we eliminate that being just now?"

Blacklight Eye's words successfully amused Joa.

"You'd have to be able to defeat her first."

"And even if You could, eliminating her would be meaningless."

"If she dies, there will be other mages, and... if I'm not mistaken, even if You absorb her, You won't gain any memories or learn any magic."

"Her soul after death will go directly to serve the Vishanti, or to roam the Universe."

"Don't worry about her for now, it seems she won't be coming to trouble me for a while."

After speaking, Joa took Polaris, Jill, Hank, and all the Blacklight Warrior.

They all passed through the space-time gate and returned to the underground facility.

Looking at the familiar yet Strange conference room, Joa exhaled lightly.

"Hank, stay. Everyone else can clock out for today. Remember not to use your abilities indiscriminately outside."

"I'll have finance transfer the 500,000 U.S. dollars reward to your accounts."

Kneeling respectfully on one knee, each Blacklight Warrior's eyes gleamed with the fervor of a fanatic, and they responded loudly.

"Yes! Boss!"

After the Blacklight Warrior left.

Joa took out his phone from the system space, took a photo of Hank, and then dialed his female assistant's number.

"I'll send You a picture in a moment. That person is named Hank. Go and get his identity information, bank card, phone card, and everything else sorted, and have someone deliver them to my house."

"And also Kingpin's detailed information, send it to me in a moment."

Hanging up on the female assistant, Joa called DeFrey again.

"Come to Senora Desert, I have something to talk to You about."

After hanging up again, Joa finally turned to look at the respectful Hank.

"There's a living area in the facility, You can find any room to rest."

"Once the person I'm looking for helps You get familiar with this World's environment, I'll give You a task."

"If You do well, perhaps I'll consider making You the temporary chief Instructor of the Blacklight Warrior."

"After You demonstrate your command and management abilities to me."

"I'll hand the Blacklight Warrior over to You."

"Yes! Boss!"

Watching Hank leave the conference room, Joa was deep in thought.

The Blacklight Warrior, including Polaris and Jill, who had been enhanced by Blacklight Star.

Would never be able to betray him again.

Once they committed such an act, their bodies would self-annihilate and collapse from the inside out.

It was as if a mechanism similar to the human immune system was triggered, treating the betrayer as a virus invading the body.

However, the human body sends immune cells to devour, while the betrayer self-annihilates.

And Joa could freely decide their life and death at any time.

More importantly, this would not affect any of their will or thoughts.

They could question Joa, and even express dissatisfaction with Joa's orders.

There would be no problem until they put it into actual action.

But once they put it into actual action, they would self-annihilate and collapse.

This was very magical, even more magical than the system's restrictions.

This allowed Joa to feel that they were living people, not robots restricted by the system.

'Heh, if Knull, the God of Symbiotes, had this ability of mine, would he still be afraid of being betrayed and imprisoned by symbiotes?'

Seeing Joa standing still and pondering for a long time, Polaris couldn't hold back.

Her lips curled up.

Polaris pulled Jill and dragged Joa towards the living area.

Joa, whose thoughts were interrupted, blinked when he saw this.

'No, where are they going?'

'Could it be...'

'Jill, who is beautiful and watery, is a first. This... isn't it a bit inappropriate?'

Although he thought so in his heart, Joa was also secretly looking forward to it.

It just so happened that he also had something to discuss with Polaris.

After the three left, the facility's conference room was quiet for a while.

Then a voice sounded.

"How do I feel like Father God has forgotten me?"

Blacklight Eye sat obediently in place, surveying the conference room, thinking about what to do next.

It wanted to eat, but that would seem to cause trouble for Father God.

"Hmm~"

"Then I'll go explore. I haven't properly understood that Planet before, as I was busy absorbing the energy Father God needed for evolution."

Thinking of this, Blacklight Eye left the conference room.

Arriving at the tightly closed facility entrance, Blacklight Eye hesitated briefly, then transformed into a mist composed of countless black and red tentacles too fine to be seen with the naked eye.

It squeezed through the gap.

Once outside, Blacklight Eye transformed back into an ordinary wolfdog.

A few days later.

Joa and the others were interrupted again by a phone call.

The call was from the female assistant.

She said that Hank's identity information had been processed and delivered to Joa's home.

"Who is it again?"

Seeing Joa hang up, Polaris pouted unhappily and asked.

DeFrey had already interrupted them two days ago.

Who's calling again?

So annoying!

Jill's face also showed some resentment.

Joa played the father, she played the mother, Polaris played the daughter. Jill never expected playing house and stacking blocks could be so much fun.

"All right, be good, wait until I finish my business."

"Remember those thugs who robbed my warehouse before?"

"I'm going to have Hank capture their boss."

"Now Hank's identity information has been processed."

"DeFrey should have familiarized him with the environment these past few days."

"After I deal with Kingpin, we'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, Joa's phone rang again.

Seeing that the caller ID was still the female assistant, Joa frowned and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Boss, is there something You'd like to handle personally?"

"What is it?"

"It's like this: a while ago, Boss, didn't You resolve the company's debt issues and expand the company?"

"Shortly after the company expanded."

"The LGBTQ international association for homosexual, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people found us."

"They said that to respect the dignity of special groups and transgender clients, their security must be handled by people from similar groups."

"They asked our company to provide job positions, otherwise we would be suspected of discriminating against special groups."

"Boss, what do You think, should we agree to them?"

As the female assistant spoke, Joa's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Eventually, he even laughed in anger.

"Heh, don't worry about this matter, I'll handle it personally."

'Damn it, LGBT, political correctness is coming for me?'

'They really are asking for death!'

'I am an Ancestor, the Supreme black light will, You dare to extort me? You are this (thumb up).'

'If I let You live, I am this (thumb down).'

Hanging up the phone, Polaris and Jill saw Joa's expression was off, and asked with slight curiosity.

"What happened? It's the first time I've seen You angry."
