Chapter 22 - S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Reaction

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A piercing alarm shattered the silence.

The previously bored civilian agents immediately perked up!

This was the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division!

Commonly known as S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Their headquarters, the Triskelion, stood tall in Washington D.C.

On an island in the middle of the East River.

It was specifically responsible for global monitoring and reconnaissance.

Lately, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury had been overwhelmed by the resurgence of the Lord of Fire, Shendu.

Yet, they hadn't been able to track down Shendu or the Black Hand Gang.

A massive energy storm erupted at the Mutant Academy in Westchester!

Although the energy storm was fleeting, it still alarmed UN Secretary-General Alexander Pierce!

"Fury!"

"I expect a satisfactory answer!"

The UN Secretary-General's eyes were sharp, his face displaying an imposing demeanor, as he roared.

Then, he unilaterally cut off the video call.

The one addressed as Fury, a one-eyed black man, was the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the creator of the Avengers –

Nick Fury!

In the 1990s, Nick Fury met Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel, and successfully resolved an interstellar war that threatened Earth!

From that moment on, Nick Fury, who had yet to gain control of the narrative, clearly understood the vastness and secrecy of the universe!

However, the Lord of Fire, Shendu, born from gossip, still exceeded the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director's expectations.

Through the various intelligence gathered from across the ocean, Nick Fury also clearly realized the threat and disaster brought about by the ancient demon's revival!

It's just that the suit-wearing thug, Valmont, and his confidants seemed to have vanished into thin air.

This caused the investigation to temporarily reach a stalemate.

"Coulson."

"Take a gift and pay a visit to Xavier's Mansion."

"Also, remember to try and persuade Professor X to use his abilities to scan the entire globe."

"The threat of the Lord of Fire cannot be ignored!"

Phil Coulson.

Nick Fury's most trusted confidant.

Coulson was undoubtedly half the reason the Avengers were founded! …

At the same time.

Academy for Gifted Youngsters.

With the magic runes taking effect, the unprecedentedly massive mental storm also dissipated entirely.

However, everyone remained unresponsive.

It seemed they still couldn't accept reality. Professor X, suffering from Alzheimer's…

Had shockingly become a terrifying weapon of mass destruction!

"How do we treat Professor X?"

Beast, Hank, and Cyclops, Scott, looked at each other, instantly experiencing the same sorrow and despair!

Charles Xavier…

At this moment, he was like an old man nearing the end of his life, drooling at the corners of his mouth, utterly lacking any semblance of his former image.

It was the complete opposite of the elegant gentleman they remembered!

The key problem was that Alzheimer's was incurable!

Even the medications available on the market could only slow down the degenerative process in the brain!

In other words, the Academy for Gifted Youngsters would likely see frequent, world-destroying mental storms in the future…

After all, the epileptic seizures caused by abnormal discharges in the central nervous system had no warning signs and were completely unpredictable.

"The Dog Talisman can suppress Alzheimer's?"

Phoenix suddenly's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but come up with a bold idea!

"I'll persuade Lord of Fire, Shendu, to return the Dog Talisman!"

Return?!

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

For a moment, they were at a loss.

Then, they saw Phoenix, with fiery red hair cascading down her back and a figure in a form-fitting leather suit, use her telekinesis to lift off the ground.

A brilliant beam of light burst from her fingertips, shooting towards the culprit who caused Professor X's loss of control...

Shendu!

The raging heat surged, instantly forming a typhoon-like wave that crashed towards Shen Du!

Compared to the rather underwhelming Johnny Allredes, Jean Grey's talent was undoubtedly more terrifying!

Besides the Phoenix Force, Jean Grey possessed a multitude of abilities.

For example, telepathy.

Mental sensing.

Telekinesis.

Psychic remote sensing.

Relying on her psychic remote sensing, she could manipulate thermal energy molecules to generate immensely powerful shockwaves!

"I support Jean!"

"We must ensure Professor X's safety!"

A physique as powerful as the Hulk's, launched his ability.

His skin color changed abruptly, taking on a mercury-like metallic sheen, and he charged towards Shen Du with great strides!

It was Colossus!

Peter Rasputin.

He could transform into a true iron man, his skin's hardness second only to Adamantium and Vibranium!

In his transformed state, Colossus's endurance and strength would be greatly enhanced!

Legend had it he could rival the Juggernaut!

Shen Du, who hadn't yet retrieved the Ox Talisman, might not be able to easily秒杀Colossus.

However, Shen Du wasn't fighting alone!

Inside him was the most peculiar liquid alien substance in the Marvel Universe!

The Venom Symbiote!

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

A sound like a snake hissing was heard.

Endless fibrous tissues penetrated Shen Du's pores, layered and accumulated, instantly weaving into a completely sealed, jet-black suit!

It granted Shen Du unprecedented defense and lethality!

"Is this Lord of Fire, Shendu's true form?!"

"Absolutely brutal!"

"Ugly..."

"Awesome!"

The handsome, aloof young man was replaced by a ferocious monster with gaping fangs.

The Venom Symbiote's dramatic entrance instantly shocked all the students at the Academy for Gifted Youngsters!

Even the seasoned X-Men felt their scalps prickle.

A sense of danger arose spontaneously!

Hiss!

Shen Du, transformed into Venom, suddenly activated the Rooster Talisman's levitation power, dodging Jean Grey's heat blast.

Immediately, the symbiote fibers morphed into a huge, exaggerated hammer. It descended from above, carrying unstoppable force, and slammed down towards the oncoming Colossus!

The booming sound of metal clashing erupted.

A wave of sound, like a tangible substance, swept outwards in all directions.

The withered, yellowing fallen leaves fluttered and swirled in the air.

Where Colossus stood, the ground actually sank half a foot!

Spiderweb-like cracks spread out everywhere!

It was clear just how powerful Lord of Fire, Shendu was!

"Is that all?"

Shen Du narrowed his eyes slightly.
