"Mr. Joseph Joestar, can you tell us more about vampires?"

Compared to Jessica's emotionality, Matt's performance was clearly more calm.

As the de facto core of the Defenders Alliance, his abilities, while not as strong as the other members, are key to guiding the entire Alliance. This, somewhat similar to Captain America's presence in the Avengers, or, it should be said, the Defenders were originally a weakened street version of the Avengers.

In the face of Matt's inquiry, Joseph Joestar raised his eyebrows, and his weather-beaten face showed a timely look of memory: "Regarding the history of vampires, even as a vampire hunter, I don't fully understand, as far as I know, vampires have existed and ravaged Norway long before I was born, and even the former king of Norway, Haakon VII, is a member of the vampires, and uses his vampire abilities to establish a short but glorious vampire dynasty, if not ......"

“…… And the reason why I chose to become a vampire hunter is precisely because of my combat experience when I was young, my friend and I were once attacked by the corpse in Cairo, if it wasn't for meeting my future master at that time, and learning the ripple qigong of restraining the vampire's ability from his hands, maybe I would have died at the hands of the original corpse. ”

"Ripple Qigong?"

After listening to Joseph Joestar's words, the expressions of the defenders members varied.

Luke Cage's eyes changed.

He had seen Joseph Joestar use the power of ripples, which was able to directly turn corpses into charcoal.

"What is Ripple?"

Jessica frowned and asked.

"Ripples are a special way of breathing, just as throwing a stone into water will set off ripples, using a special breathing method to create ripples in the flesh, which creates great power. At the same time, the ripple energy generated by the ripples is consistent with the sun's rays, which are the most effective way to kill vampires. ”

"Fear of the sun, this is the same weakness as depicted in the movie."

Bowing her head and muttering to herself, Jessica couldn't help but raise her head: "What about garlic and the cross?" ”

These two are also classic props used in legends to destroy vampires.

"It's a pity," Joseph Joestar replied, shaking his head, "The reason vampires are afraid of sunlight is because of the rippling energy it contains. ”

Joseph Joestar's answer did not come as much a surprise to the defenders.

Indeed, if these things were really useful, then Joseph Joestar wouldn't need to tell them so seriously about the dangers of vampires.

"According to you, vampires can only be killed by sunlight and ripples, so what if we kill them?"

Danny asked in silence with a frown.

If everything this so-called vampire hunter says is true, then even if the Defenders League wants to eliminate the vampires, it will not be a simple matter. After all, as the other side said, vampires or corpses are themselves human-transformed monsters, and they are well aware of their weaknesses, and obviously they are not stupid enough to fight them in the daytime.

Danny's words are also a concern for defenders.

"The strength of the corpse is very strong, and they are not afraid of life and death, even I can't easily solve it."

This is best illustrated by Luke Cage, who had brief combat contact with the corpses.

"At one point, maybe I didn't make it clear, vampires and corpses are not impossible to kill, especially the latter, as a monster infected by vampires, although the corpse has gained near-immortal abilities physically, but it itself has not gained the same powerful recovery ability as vampires, so as long as it suffers a fatal blow, it will also die."

"As for vampires, their terrifying regeneration abilities allow them to quickly regenerate after being attacked, but this recovery is not without cost, and the whole process requires a lot of life energy. Therefore, if a vampire suffers multiple injuries at the same time and cannot recover from lifestealing, then in this case, they will still fall into death. ”

"Listening to you say that, it's like defeating a vampire is a simple thing."

Jessica pursed her lips and said with a disgruntled expression.

"Since the ripple power in your mouth is so powerful, why don't you pass it on to us and let us accompany you to fight vampires."

"Jessica."

Hearing Jessica's rude request, Matt couldn't help frowning and opening his mouth to stop it, and apologized to him at the same time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Joseph Joestar, Jessica didn't mean that."

"That's what I meant."

Frowning, Jessica retorted not to be outdone.

She is the least mission-minded member of the Defenders League, or her past experience makes her have no idea about the trick of saving the world as a superhero, and even if it weren't for the relationship that she once fought side by side, she might have quit the Defenders League a long time ago and continued to be her own private detective who eats and waits for death.

Saving the world and fighting crime is still left to the Avengers.

As comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side, the defenders had clearly become accustomed to Jessica's irascible personality.

Matt, mouth open, was about to give an explanation for Jessica's aggressive remarks.

On the other side, Joseph Joestar opened his mouth unexpectedly.

"Actually, even if you don't say it, I'm already planning to teach you the cultivation method of Ripple."

[Legend from Daredevil ......]

[Legendary ...... from Jessica Jones]

【From Danny......】

[Legendary ...... from Luke Cage]

Joseph Joestar's unexpected approach, even the expression on Jessica's face couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mr. Joseph Joestar, you don't need ......"

Matt frowned, thinking that Joseph Joestar had made this decision because of Jessica's relationship.

However, Joseph Joestar shook his head.

The reason why Li Ran decided to pass on the ripples to the members of the defenders was naturally not really a few words from Jessica. In fact, his decision was completely based on the relationship between Jin and Jin on the other side.

After obtaining the vampire power granted by the stone ghost face, Jin Ji did not hesitate to start creating his own army of corpses. Now, the corpses in his hands have already exceeded hundreds, and the combination of so many corpses is simply not something that the defenders can deal with.

Therefore, in order to avoid that when the time comes, when facing Jin He's attack, the defenders will be crushed by the army of corpses under him without the slightest ability to resist.

It is also necessary to give them proper strength.

Although Ripple's ability is magical, its limitations are also obvious, as an ability specifically used against corpses and vampires, its own power is actually not as great as imagined.

On the other side, Joseph Joestar, played by the doppelganger, is still faithfully playing his role as a vampire hunter and a ripple teacher: "As I just said, Ripple is not my exclusive power, this is the power that has been specially researched to fight vampires, and now that vampires have appeared in New York, of course I have the obligation to pass on this power to fight vampires to avoid New York from being eroded by vampires and becoming like Norway...... ”

Joseph Joestar said, his gaze sweeping over the defenders in front of him.

The power of ripples may seem simple, but it is actually a breath and related to the use of cells, even which shouts involved. The reason why he uses Ripple is because the ultimate creature Kaz is able to perfectly control all the cellular forces in his body. And it is clear that this is not the case with the members of the coalition of defenders in front of them.

Therefore, in his opinion, among the defenders, Matt is the only one who can really learn to ripple.

……

"Sir, you should rest."

Stark Industries, top floor of the New Energy Building.

Jarvis reminded Tony six times, and since he heard about the Stone Ghost Face from the Foundation, he had been preoccupied with it.

"Give me a little more time."

Reaching out and slapping his palm in mid-air, Tony replied with a haggard face as if no one was around.

The appearance of Stone Ghost Face and Dio Brando allows him to discover a breach hidden in history by S.H.I.E.L.D., through which he has become more and more aware of the truth.

"It seems that Nick Fury is hiding a lot of things I don't know, stone ghost faces and vampires, which he has known for a long time, but he deliberately kept them secret and did not tell the Avengers."

"Maybe the reason why he hid it was to avoid a situation like this."

Just then, an angry voice rang out from behind Tony.

Turning his head, he saw Pepper Pepper Pepper, looking at Tony with an angry face.

"Jarvis."

Catching Pepper's gaze, Tony instantly understood.

"I'm sorry sir, but out of concern for your health, I must inform Miss Pepper."

Tony's answer made Tony unable to refute, he withdrew his gaze to look at Pepper who appeared in front of him, grinned a stiff smile, and asked in surprise, "Hey, Pepper, why are you here?" ”

"yes, how did I get here."

Taking a deep breath and barely suppressing the anger in his heart, Pepper looked at Tony's pale face and deep dark circles because of staying up late for a long time, and said half-angrily and half-distressedly: "If it wasn't for Jarvis informing me, I might still be in the dark now, Tony, you forgot, how did you promise me?" ”

"There are many things I promised you, which one are you talking about?"

"Tony!"

"Okay." Looking at Pepper's reaction, Tony obviously knew that the situation in front of him could not be deceived by simple confusion, he sighed and admitted decisively: "I know, this matter is my fault, but you also know, Pepper, as soon as I encounter the problem I care about, I can't stop." ”

"I know."

As for Tony's character, Pepper, who was born as a secretary, obviously has a thorough understanding of it, and knows that this cannot be reversed by just a few words on his own.

So with a sigh, Pepper immediately spoke, "You need to rest Tony, not just for yourself, but for me." ”

"Listen to you, dear."

Pepp's words made Tony's eyes soften suddenly, and he turned his head to look at the introduction of Dio Brando on the virtual screen, and then at Pepper in front of him. Eventually, he raised his hand to put the information away and smiled and made a concession.

He is no longer the same Tony Stark, and he is willing to make some concessions for the sake of the people he loves.

……

"How's the experiment going?"

Inside the secret laboratory base.

A cloaked figure asked, his voice not loud, but extremely low, with a power that was hard to ignore.

"We have already started human experiments, and more than 10 soldiers who lost their hands and feet in the war have regained their strength because of the desperate virus."

A man with long hair and a limp on crutches replied.

If Tony was here, he might be able to recognize that the man in front of him was Killian, who had been in contact with him and was teased by him and claimed to be his fan, but now his appearance is completely different from before, and his expression is more confident and ambitious than before.

Of course, it's more likely that Tony doesn't remember him at all, after all, before he became Iron Man, Tony was a complete jerk.

Even Pepper and even Tony himself can't deny this.

"Good."

Killian's answer made the figure inside the cloak nod slightly: "You really didn't disappoint me, Kirian. ”

"Thank you for the opportunity, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be where I am now."

Hearing the voice coming from the cloak, Killian hurriedly lowered his representative, expressing respect.

He once waited like a clown on the cold top floor because of Tony's play. In Iron Man's eyes, he may be just an insignificant nobody, and even Killian himself thought so in the past, but now it is obviously different, because he has been given a chance to change.

Moreover, Killian has decided to take revenge on Tony, who once ignored and underestimated himself, through this opportunity.

"Man-sama."
