After sending all the souls to Soul Society, the system notification finally arrived.

"Not bad."
Lod glanced at the reward and felt a little better.
Although he was only responsible for finishing up the work this time, the system was still very humane. It counted Haschwalth and Gwen's credit on his head. It could be said that it was an unexpected surprise.
"The mother of pus, the cub of Black Goat... Is it the Ctulhu Mythos?" Lod murmured.
Although the memories of his previous life had become blurry, the Ctulhu Mythos had left a deep impression on him at that time!
Although many of the content had been forgotten, there was only one sentence he remembered very clearly.
What was terrifying was not darkness, but the unknown.
When humans looked up at the starry sky, would they suspect that there was a strange color that devoured everything in the endless darkness?
Or perhaps, on the night of thunder and lightning hundreds of millions of years ago, when the first ammonia of life was born, was there a strange and terrifying giant beast walking on the primitive earth?
And all of this originated from the unknown!
If this was a fantasy story, then he would definitely praise it and continue to read it patiently. In the depths of the exciting places, he would even clap his hands. Perhaps he would even share it with his friends to discuss the so-called Ctulhu Mythos.
But... this is reality!
No one would be happy with the real existence of the Eldritch Abomination!
The matter,
Lod didn't plan on investigating for the time being.
In the worldview of 'Cthulhu', there is such a law: Only the foolish can live forever
The meaning of this sentence was to have respect for those unknown things and not excessively pursue the 'truth', otherwise it would incur the descent of disaster.
Lod did not intend to court death, at least not at the moment.
From that point of view, the secret that could involve Mephistoand Carl was obviously not something he could touch at his level.
For some things, it was better not to know.
The more he knew, the faster he died. He understood this principle.
"Hu..."
Lod exhaled, temporarily suppressing these thoughts. Then he turned around and walked to the rock wall, reaching out to drag Gwen out of the shadows.
It had to be said that Haschwalth was quite reliable in his work.
He secretly hid Gwyn in the Shadow Space while no one was paying attention to her to prevent her from being affected by the battle.
Although Gwen was severely injured, she was still an Adjuchas. Her recovery ability was far beyond that of ordinary people. As long as there was a supply of Spiritual Power in the follow-up, the super-fast regeneration will kick in and her injuries could be healed quickly.
"I almost forgot..."
Lod slapped his forehead, turned around, and slashed out with his sword, wiping out the remaining pieces of flesh.
These were the remnants of the mother of pus and the cub of the Black Goat. Who knew if there would be any future troubles left behind? Therefore, for the sake of being conservative, it was better to eliminate all of them so as to avoid encountering people who were too curious that day and using these remnant organizations to stir up trouble.
"Yes, it's clean."
After Lod confirmed that there was no meat left, he left with Gwen in relief.
...
Not long after the two of them left, the roar of the engine tore through the night sky. Several pure black beak-shaped fighter jets slowly landed on the ground, their tails spewing out ring-shaped flames.
As the hatch of the fighter jet opened, a bald man wearing a black leather windbreaker walked out with large strides. It was Nick Fury, who had not appeared for a long time!
The person beside Fury was his most trusted assistant, Agent Hill.
More than a dozen people came out of the doors of the other carrier eagles, including a few familiar faces.
Hawkeye, Natasha, and S. H. I. E. L. D. were all here. Apart from the first time, there was also an elite team and some others.
"Hill, is this source of the pollution?" Nick Fury had a gloomy face. Even in the night, he could see the flames of anger in his single eye.
Hill held a professional detection instrument in his hand. After carefully observing the value on it, he nodded and said, "Director, from the detection data, the energy source that is emitting pollution is in the giant karst cave that is 100 meters underground."
"Very good."
Nick Fury nodded slightly and then ordered the people around him, "Barton, Natasha, take your people down and see what's going on inside. Destroy the source of' pollution 'at all costs!"
"Yes, director!"
Hawkeye and Natasha were fully armed, wearing black carbon fiber soft armor, and their expressions were quite serious.
Originally, as the director of S. H. I. E. L. D., there was no need to personally come to the frontline.
However, the reason why he had no choice but to personally take action and even bring all the elites over was precisely because of this 'pollution source'!
Just a few dozen minutes ago.
Through the satellite, S. H. I. E. L. D.'s staff discovered that a large scale strange phenomenon had occurred in a region with a diameter of forty miles in Manhattan. Its specific form included but not limited to: madness, ravings, self-mutilation, murder, and so on and so forth...
Moreover, all the creatures in the area had smelly and rotten pus growing on the surface of their skin. For a time, they wailed everywhere.
At first, when he got the news, Fury thought that someone had put in biochemical weapons.
After all, these phenomena were almost similar to the damage caused by biochemical weapons. Moreover, the US military had always had a fairly mature experience in biochemical weapons, so Fury contacted the military immediately.
However, the reply he got was, "This is not a biological weapon, nor is it a secret experiment of the military. S. H. I. E. L. D., don't f*cking think about throwing the blame away."
Helplessly, Fury sent a tactical team to investigate the situation in the area.
However, when the tactical team took the helicopter and entered this strange area, something strange happened. Everyone went crazy for no reason and killed each other, resulting in total annihilation!
Therefore, Fury immediately realized that something was wrong.
This was not an effect caused by biological weapons or conventional methods.
When comparing the values, S. H. I. E. L. D. found that there was a special energy fluctuation in this area.
It was this special fluctuation that caused the strange phenomenon in Manhattan.
And when they found the villa located in a remote area based on the source of this strange fluctuation, they happened to see the terrifying might of the 'Saint Spear' tearing the surface of the earth and charging straight into the starry sky.
Nick Fury was about to go crazy.
What did it mean that one wave had not been leveled, yet another wave had risen?
This was!
It had only been a few days since his butt had settled down, yet New York City had caused such a huge commotion again!
Moreover, this time, it involved a large number of ordinary people. In this era where information was flying everywhere, it was almost impossible to suppress it.
After World's council learned of this matter, they scolded him in his face and ordered that Fury had to resolve the strange phenomenon in Manhattan within a day at all costs!
Thus, there was the above scene.
