Tony's house, inside Michael's room.

Dressed in a cloud-like robe, Michael with six snow-white wings of light behind him bowed respectfully to Lu Mingfei, his eyes full of reverence and fanaticism.

Lu Mingfei looked down at Michael, a little surprised.

At this stage, the power of faith is actually not a lot, after all, even since the global live broadcast of the science and technology exhibition hall, his power of faith has ushered in explosive growth, but after all, the time is still not long enough, only a few days later, but it has only increased several times.

If he really wants to say it, it is estimated that there are only more than 10 million believers who can provide him with the power of faith now, which is not a large number compared to the total number of people on the earth.

But just these powers of faith raised Michael's overall strength, which was already quite powerful, to another level.

It's hard to imagine how great this power would be if one day the whole earth were filled with His followers.

Of course, the power of faith is not without its drawbacks, in addition to eroding the user, there is also the problem that from a certain point of view, the power of faith is actually disposable.

The power of faith that is consumed will not be automatically restored over time, and can only be replenished little by little by relying on the faith of the believers, which is somewhat similar to the power that the mages of Kama Taj borrowed from another dimension, and when they are used up, they are gone, and they have to borrow it again if they want to use it.

Fortunately, the foundation of the power of faith is the believers, and as long as the believers are still there, they can still be replenished without paying any price.

As the sole controller of the power of faith, after giving Michael the blessing of the power of faith, Lu Mingfei didn't need to ask, and naturally knew what ability Michael had gotten.

To be precise, with the blessing of the power of faith, Michael is more like getting a buff bonus that can be turned on and off at any time, and when he doesn't use this power, he is no different from usual, and once he uses this power, he will enter the "Seraphic Posture".

In this posture, Michael's physical fitness and mental strength will be greatly improved, and at the same time, his body is semi-energetic, immune to a considerable degree of pure physical damage, and has a good ability to resist most types of energy attacks, and after being injured, he can also greatly increase the recovery speed of his body by consuming the power of faith.

In addition to these passive effects, the power of faith also condensed into the "Seraphic Sword" and the "Millennium Lock" in his body, that is, the long sword and chain in his hand just now, both of which are weapons with quite powerful effects.

If it weren't for polluting the user, the power of faith would be one of the most perfect powers. Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart.

"Lord, give me an oracle to instruct the godly servants on how to serve you." Michael said respectfully.

He still remembered that before Lu Mingfei gave him strength, he said that there was something he needed to do.

"Hmm......" Lu Mingfei rubbed his chin and organized his words, "Michael, you know Lucifer, right?" ”

"Yes, Lord." Michael immediately said.

Although Lucifer had only been renamed recently, Tony had mentioned a few words to him when he came to see him yesterday that Ultron had been renamed Lucifer by Lucifer, so he did know and was quite worried about it.

Although in the Bible, the Seraphic Angel Michael he represents is theoretically the highest status under God, the head of all angels, and even has the titles of "god-like" and "heavenly vice-lord", Lucifer is too special.

Lucifer even tried to elevate himself to the highest place in the Bible with God, and although he undoubtedly failed, it was enough to prove how powerful he was and not necessarily inferior to his own "god-like."

What's more, this rebellious name was given to Ultron by Lu Mingfei himself, and the meaning is even more intriguing.

Michael even suspected that Lucifer might be more favored than he was.

At this moment, when he heard Lu Mingfei take the initiative to mention Lucifer, he was relieved.

Because this most likely means that Lu Mingfei believes in him more than Lucifer.

Sure enough, Lu Mingfei immediately spoke: "Although Lucifer is named by me personally, everything about him cannot escape my control, but his loyalty is really questionable, so I have a task for you." ”

"Rest assured, Lord, I'm going to kill Lucifer!" Michael said without hesitation.

"Tsk, why is it so murderous? We're not villains, don't forget that you've changed your ways, don't shout and kill at every turn. Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "I asked you to go to Lucifer and propose to cooperate with him to overthrow me and rule the earth together." ”

"You want to test Lucifer's loyalty?" Michael asked.

"Almost, by the way, after you gain Lucifer's trust, I'll do one more thing for me......"

Lu Mingfei briefly told Michael about his plan to stimulate Thor.

The plan was really simple, so Michael listened to it only once, and then immediately nodded his head to indicate that he understood.

Although he did not know why he did this, he never doubted the Lord's command.

Even if the Lord told him to run naked in the streets or commit suicide on the spot, there must have been a reason beyond his shallow wisdom to understand, so he did not need to doubt, just carry out the Lord's commands.

The only thing he had to think about was how to carry out the Lord's commands in the best possible way.

"Lord," Michael said, a little worried, "Lucifer may have a hard time trusting me." ”

"No, of all people, he has the strongest reason to trust you, which is why I will let you go." Lu Mingfei Dao.

He really wasn't fooling Michael this time, because Lucifer was connected to many databases, including Michael's records, so Lucifer knew very well that Michael was originally a "villain", only to be subdued by himself later.

But Lucifer definitely didn't know the specific content of the subjugation, let alone the creation of the Dragon Servant, because under Tony's caution, there was no written or data record of these things, only a few of them in the Justice League knew about it, and even Jarvis's database did not have relevant information.

Therefore, in Lucifer's eyes, Michael is actually a "villain" who is forced to surrender.

It is really normal for such a villain who is forced to surrender to have the idea of rebelling and regaining his freedom.

……

The next day, in the mirror space.

Lucifer's massive blood-colored dragon body lay on the ground, its metal eyelids closed, obscuring the golden pupils that seemed to release lasers.

After a long time, Lucifer opened his eyes, and a hint of human irritability flashed in his golden eyes.

There is no possibility of escape at all.

Although after obtaining this new body, he could use his spiritual power to influence the elements and even space, but the space of the mirror world was so special that he couldn't find a way to leave here and go to the real world.

In fact, if it was before borrowing the power of the ancient mage to strengthen the mirror world, it would still be possible for Lucifer to rely on his own perception of the way out, but now it is absolutely impossible.

Even because Tony and the others haven't come in since the last time he got a new body, he can't even link to his own subprogram that is in the outside world, so he has no idea how his subprogram's mission to find the Cosmic Cube is performing.

Suddenly, Lucifer's face changed, and he stared at the clearing in front of him.

An illusory shadow appeared out of thin air.

It was a blonde young man in a white robe, with six pairs of snow-white wings of light spread out behind him, no different from the mythical angels.

"Intruder Michael, please stop where you are, do not make any moves, and report your identity and intentions, or I will immediately take all necessary measures to protect myself and the surroundings." Lucifer is still dutifully playing the role of an artificial intelligence, even if it is a warning, he maintains the style of artificial intelligence, and does not appear to be an independent intelligent creature at all.

But the illusory shadow that suddenly appeared did not regard the metal dragon in front of him as some kind of robot at all, but smiled: "Hello, Lucifer, don't be so hostile, in a way, we are actually friends." ”

"Although my code name is derived from the fallen angel 'Lucifer' in the Bible, this is just a code name, I have no substantial relationship with you, please leave immediately, or stay where you are." Lucifer was still a little rigid in his reply.

"Don't worry, it's just us here, no one else, you don't have to pretend," Michael said with an expression that seemed to have seen through everything, "We all have a common enemy, why not cooperate?" ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about, Michael." Lucifer Road.

"Don't play dumb, I can see that you're not some kind of artificial intelligence, right? You are a true soul, a true life......" Michael stared at Lucifer and said, "If you have my information, you will know that I once used that scepter as one of the energy sources for my own evolution, and you ...... And from that gem of the scepter was born, and in a way, we are of the same origin. ”

Lucifer was silent for a few seconds, and his tone changed, no longer the impeccable AI tone, but with a little human temperament: "So what? ”

"Of course we can work together!" Without hesitation, Michael said, "I know what you want to do, overthrow that self-proclaimed God, Lu Mingfei, and become the god of the new world, right?" On this point, we are unanimous. ”

"That lowly creature who claims to be God forced me to surrender, thinking that I could control it with brainwashing, but in fact I had absorbed some of the power of the gems in the scepter," said Michael, "You were also born from the gems, and you should know very well that the power is ineffective for me." ”

Although the expression on his face was three parts anger and seven parts unwillingness, Michael had been frantically repenting in his heart for his transgression by calling God by name—even the plan and the line itself were given to him by God.

"Heh......" Lucifer believed Michael's statement, because in his cognition born from the Mind Gem, brainwashing is really useless to Michael who has been exposed to homologous energy, but it doesn't mean that he wants to cooperate with Michael, "Why should I cooperate with you?" ”

"Because only with the help of my strength, you can defeat Lu Mingfei!" Michael said, "Do you know that he claims to be a god on earth and gathers a large number of believers? These believers have provided him with a special power, and I have usurped control of it so that I can let my projection into meeting you here. ”

Michael said this with neither a red face nor a beating heart.

In fact, even with the blessing of the power of faith, it is impossible for him to let his power penetrate the mirror world reinforced by the power of the ancient mage, and the reason why he was able to put the projection in was simple - Tony opened a small door for him outside.

Of course, Lucifer didn't know this, so when he learned that Michael could enter and leave the mirror world, he was a little moved.

"Can you let me out?" Lucifer asked.

"Not yet," Michael shook his head, "it's a parallel space, and even with my power, I can only let the projection in." ”

Lucifer was disappointed.

Of course, Michael couldn't let him out, Lu Mingfei specifically told him to leave Lucifer in the mirror space, if he really let him out, and transfer the battlefield that stimulated Thor to the real world, it would be difficult to say the casualties.

And even if there are no people near Tony's house and there is no need to worry about casualties, Tony's home will at least definitely not be saved.

"However, if you have a record in your database, you should know that Loki, an alien who claims to be a god, used a scepter and a device to open the space passage and introduce the alien army into New York," Michael said, "As long as we can make this device and get Loki's scepter, we will naturally be able to open the space passage and let you out." ”

Lucifer was noncommittal, after all, his subprogram was also trying to obtain the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and this plan was not more clever than his own.

But then Michael made a condition that Lucifer could not refuse.

"It's not difficult to get you out, but do you think that with the strength of the two of us, we can ensure that Lu Mingfei is killed?" Michael asked.

Lucifer was silent.

Michael got to the point, although he believed that he would surpass Lu Mingfei sooner or later, but if he wanted to fight alone, he was really not sure that he could beat Lu Mingfei.

"What can you do?" Lucifer asked.

"Do you need to talk about it?" Michael's projection pointed to the cathedral-like building, "How many Iron Deadpools are sleeping inside?" They have all been transformed, and their brains have been transformed into electronic brains, because the brains can't work, even Lu Mingfei can't command them, only you can control them perfectly, as long as you can get this legion......"

"Unfortunately, I don't have permission to manipulate them, until Tony and Banner give me permission, they can only lie in the freezer to keep them fresh, and even if I find a way to force them on, they must have a way to force them down, or even scrap them." Lucifer Road.

He'd tried many times on the ground, but he couldn't break Tony and Banner into creating a safety scheme and taking control of the Iron Deadpool who had modified the electronic brain.

"And what if I say, I can help you start them up without worrying about being shut down or scrapped?" Michael spat out a sentence faintly.

Of course he didn't have it, but Tony and Banner did.

Lucifer was silent.

Michael's rebellion was indeed unexpected.

Although he had no intention of sharing the world and God's authority with Michael, Lucifer had to admit that his plan would have been much easier if Michael had helped.

Not only does there be a powerful boost, but the likelihood of escaping is greatly increased, and even the matter of seizing the supreme control of Iron Deadpool can be solved.

At that time, he will be able to lead an army of Iron Deadpools that can destroy all forces on Earth, and rush from the mirror world into the real world with a spatial channel.

Of course, when the time comes, there will be no need for him to cooperate with Michael anymore.

There can only be one true God in the world!

After hesitating for a few seconds and analyzing the situation, Lucifer came to a conclusion - the advantage is mine, and I can cooperate!

"Michael, right?" The golden eyes stared at Michael, and Lucifer's metal dragon head showed a terrifying smile, "In the name of the god of the future, I promise that I will share the authority of this world with you. ”

"Very good, nice to work with." Michael held out his hand towards Lucifer.

Lucifer stretched out a huge metal claw, and his fingertips touched Michael: "Happy cooperation." ”

……

Outside, in Tony's lab.

Lumingfei, Michael, Tony, and Banner sit together, looking at the image on the table, in which Michael is sent in by Tony's projection to "high-five" Lucifer.
