A New God's life in Marvel

Chapter 27: New targets

As Rudeus finished testing Shaw's limits quite literally, he was very happy that it had actually worked.

He had half expected Sebastian to actually be able to absorb the energy in which case his previous 'cool' words would have made him a fool infront of both Emma and Selene.

However that hadn't happened and he was able to maintain his cool godly attitude infront of them.

"Now, where was I? Oh yes, so Emma, I guess you have already made a decision right?" Rudeus asked while turning towards the blonde woman staring at him with surprised wide eyes.

"So what will it be?" He again asked her after seeing her not replying and just standing there looking like a dead fish.

"...I, I want to join you... master" Emma kneels on one knee while calling him master, most likely because she heard Selene calling him by the same name.

'Well, I guess I do prefer master than Rudeus at this point of time. I think I should hurry up and choose a better sounding godly name soon.' He sighed in his own mind.

"Good. I am glad that we can work together closely in the future." Rudeus gave her a divine smile.

He was already thinking of ways of profiting from this. He had gotten a lot of rewards today. As he was thinking of other ways of profiting further from this, Selene suddenly spoke up.

"Master, I think I found Sublime. I was going over Shaw's memories that we had extracted and it seems like he knew a certain someone named Dr. John Sublime." Selene gave a good news to Rudeus.

"Really, that's unexpected. Did he have any dealings with the doctor or something?" Rudeus was quite pleasantly surprised. This could save him a lot of time in trying to find the evil bacteria.

"Yes master. It seems that Shaw had been financing a project under Sublime to develop a drug that could increase the powers of metas. The project was mainly developed by Dr John Sublime with the help of another scientist named Nathaniel Essex." Selene informed him.

'Wait, what? Did she just say Nathaniel Essex because as much as I remember, Essex was actually Dr Sinister, the clone loving crazy scientist I was planning to kill earlier. Hmm, This is actually quite good news. Now I can kill two birds with one stone' He was pleased with this news.

"This super drug, what is it called?" Rudeus asked curiously.

In the comics there were multiple super drugs that were developed to increase powers of mutants. There was mgh which was made from the x gene of mutants, igh made from inhumans as well as some others. But all of them had devastatingly negative side effects.

"Its called kick, master. It is a super drug that can increase a metahuman's powers quite a lot after a single puff. But it is very addicting and is harmful to human bodies much like steroids. It can even easily kill metas when overdosed." Selene said with a grimace.

'So its kick huh. I remember that one. It was manufactured by Sublime using its own bacterial cells or fluid or whatever it is supposed to be. But the thing is that its dangerous for mutants. Now, I can't have a drug out there that is dangerous for my future army, can I'

"Have you found out the current location of Sublime and Essex? I want to end this as soon as I can. Delaying this will just give me a bigger headache?" Rudeus asked with a sigh.

"Yes we have. I can transfer the location of his current base to your mind" This time it was Emma to speak, trying to eagerly please Rudeus.

Rudeus didn't say anything and just stared at Emma. He was debating with himself whether to let Emma into his mind. He was wondering why Emma was so eager in pleasing him.
