Chapter 285 Absorbing the Ghost Woman, an incredible ability to become ethereal!
Toby didn't take the ghost woman's head that Moonblade offered. Instead, a sharp tentacle extended from his back and pierced into the ghost woman's head in Moonblade's hand, instantly absorbing it until only skin and bones remained!
After Toby retracted his tentacles and closed his eyes for only a few seconds, his body began to flicker and blur, as if a signal had malfunctioned...
Finally, Toby opened his eyes, looked at Moonblade, and nodded at him.
Moonlight Blade immediately understood and, without the slightest hesitation, drew his sword and slashed at Toby!
The next moment, something magical happened.
The Moonblade's blade seemed to slice through thin air, passing right through Toby's body without any hindrance!
Toby savored the sensation of the blade slicing through his body again before dispelling his ethereal state, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.
This thing is even more incredible than he imagined!
He thought the Ghost Woman's ability was just a simple, single superpower, but after he actually obtained it, he realized that it wasn't like that at all!
Because Ghost Woman's ability to become ethereal actually relies on changing her molecular structure to achieve phase transformation, which is etherealization!
Her ability to alter molecular structure is not just about becoming invisible; she can also change the visible structure of molecules, thus achieving the effect of invisibility!
Furthermore, these two capabilities can be used together, enabling the user to achieve not only optical invisibility but also true complete invisibility.
A perfect form of invisibility that is invisible, intangible, and undetectable even by thermal imaging!
This is even more awesome than the Invisible Woman and Miles Morales' invisibility in the Fantastic Four!
This ability is such a terrible waste to have on Ghost Woman!
Because she was too weak to control this ability, her molecules would often become chaotic and cause her immense pain!
Only by relying on the specially made suit provided by S.H.I.E.L.D. (Hydra) can she stabilize her abilities to a certain extent and thus use them to a certain degree.
Without the battle suit, she couldn't even control this powerful ability!
Toby, on the other hand, is physically strong enough, and his control over his body is unmatched by Ghost.
After acquiring this ability, he will not only avoid the constant suffering of molecular chaos like Ghost Woman, but he will also be able to use his ability even more perfectly than Ghost Woman without needing any tattered suit!
For example, when he uses his ability to become invisible and invisible, there is no time limit like that of Ghost Woman. He can even continue to become invisible and invisible as long as he wants.
Moreover, he had a feeling that this ghost woman's ability to alter molecular structures wasn't so simple, and that it would be of great use to him in the future...
He couldn't quite explain its specific use, but he had a vague, almost spider-like feeling about it...
Toby was never one to dwell on things internally; if he couldn't figure something out, he simply stopped thinking about it.
The most important thing now is to get the bullseye!
Toby raised his hand and clenched it, and the space gem on the bracelet immediately lit up with a blue light, revealing a spatial wormhole in front of him.
The other end of the wormhole is naturally the coordinates of the sea base given by Wanda.
He planned to wait at the sea base, hoping Shang-Chi would come to him on his own.
That way, he won't have to search all over the world for it.
But just before he stepped inside, Moonblade suddenly asked, "You've partnered with the Queen of the Dead?"
Toby paused, but didn't deny it, simply saying, "You don't believe her?"
He had naturally noticed long ago that Moonlight Blade was eavesdropping in the shadows, but he simply hadn't paid any attention.
Because no matter what Moonblade thinks after he finds out about this, he can't change anything.
Moonlight Blade neither shook its head nor nodded, but simply said, "Kong Su doesn't believe her..."
Toby shook his head and smiled, "But the world has no other choice, does it?"
"Also, listen less to that jerk in the future. He just pretends to know everything, but he doesn't understand humans at all, let alone human nature."
"Once she regains her human will, regardless of her appearance or whether she is human or not, then she is human, and what she does will be human. As a half-vampire, you should understand this better than anyone else..."
After saying that, Toby didn't care whether Moonblade understood or not, and stepped directly into the space wormhole.
As soon as Toby disappeared, Kong Su eagerly crawled out of Moonlight Blade's body and shouted loudly:
"That damned bastard, how dare he say that I, as the Moon Goddess, know nothing? I think he's the one who truly knows nothing!"
"We shouldn't have cooperated with him in the first place. We should have cooperated with those three girls I mentioned. You shouldn't have let that guy take them away!"
"That guy is an evil devourer who eats everything. I think he's no better than the Queen of the Dead, maybe even worse. He even eats the flesh and blood of zombies, did you see that?!"
Hearing the exasperated voice beside him, Moonlight Blade shook his head. Compared to Toby, who remained calm, confident, and reassuring, Kong Su really didn't seem like a reliable god...
"I think he might be right. He provided them with a safe environment and was trying to give the world hope. And the fact that he eats everything... I think I'm the least qualified person to judge him for that, am I?"
Having said that, Moonblade ignored Kong Su's nagging and stepped firmly into the portal.
Clearly, Moonblade chose to believe Toby over Consue.
As Toby said, the world has no choice but to believe in that one hope...
After taking one more step, the two arrived at a desert area near the sea.
Next to the two stood a green sign with white lettering that read, "New Orleans Checkpoint, a city on the sea."
Not far ahead of the two was a huge human camp surrounded by shipping containers.
Clearly, this is the entrance to the sea base founded by Baron Zemo, as mentioned by the zombie Wanda.
Those survivors were able to enter the actual sea base only after passing through the inspection and handing over sufficient supplies.
As for the actual sea base, although it is still submerged in the water, Toby's sharp eyesight allowed him to see its basic outline.
It was a huge, oval-shaped mobile fortress made of metal.
If he remembers correctly, this should be the sea prison that General Ross controlled in Captain America 3: Civil War, which was used to imprison superhuman criminals!
In the zombie apocalypse, Baron Zemo actually managed to get his hands on it and even used it as a sea shelter; he certainly has some tricks up his sleeve.
Just then, Toby was about to take Moonblade inside to see what was going on.
Toby suddenly turned around and looked at the endless desert behind him, his brows furrowing.
Because his spider-sense sensed a familiar presence.
"What's wrong? Are there zombies?" Moonlight Blade, who was too far away to sense anything, looked at the desert where there wasn't even a zombie and was a little puzzled.
The zombies in this area should have all been cleared out by Baron Zemo's men, so it should be safe.
Toby shook his head, his expression turning disgusted. "No, these things are way more disgusting than zombies. I can't believe that even in a zombie apocalypse, these extraterrestrial parasites are still alive!"
"A parasite from outside Earth?" The Moonblade had barely raised this question when Toby grabbed it by the back of the neck.
Then Moonlight Blade felt himself fly up, and the scene in his eyes changed rapidly.
Once the scene in his eyes stabilized again, he had already been taken by Toby to mid-air in another region.
Meanwhile, in the desert below, a fierce chase is underway.
Leading the pack were a Lamborghini Aventador, a Jeep, and a truck loaded with cargo.
Chasing after them were the Skrulls riding motorcycles and driving wasteland-style vehicles just like those in Mad Max!
That's right, in this zombie apocalypse, these Skrulls not only didn't all die out, but they actually thrived!
They no longer need to disguise themselves as humans and hide; they openly rob humans in their true forms!
Looking down at the scene from mid-air, Toby couldn't help but sneer. If it weren't for the fact that Captain Marvel in this universe had already turned into a zombie.
He really wanted that vile bitch to see what these Skrulls she had rescued from all over the universe were doing to their fellow Earthlings!
