Crack!
A streak of furious lightning roared past, illuminating the imposing figure gripping Mjolnir.
It was the Viking berserker who almost ended the entire Infinity War with a single axe strike!
Thor!
He was the God of Thunder and Strength of Asgard.
He commanded storms, war, and agricultural power.
He was known as the strongest of the gods.
The mightiest warrior of the Aesir!
"Loki!"
"Lay down your weapons and surrender now!"
"I will ask Father to forgive your transgressions!"
Thor roared again, his voice like a great bell echoing, a storm passing through.
Even the building at 177A Bleecker Street, several districts away, could hear the roar of the God of Thunder and Power.
"Looks like there's an irreconcilable conflict brewing between the Norse brothers,"
a portly sorcerer with an Eastern face quipped.
177A Bleecker Street!
This was the location of the New York Sanctum,
one of Earth's key leyline nodes.
In prehistoric times, this place was desolate, but after countless years, it had developed into an internationally renowned metropolis! A group of mystic masters stood on the Sanctum's dome, fending off a fierce alien attack! "Oh dear!"
"So, there's a Sanctum for sorcerers hidden in New York?"
"Is there one in San Francisco too?"
The skinny old man in the sweater exclaimed with curiosity, "Old Man can go have tea there when he's free!"
"Earth has three Sanctums."
"They are located in Hong Kong, New York, and London."
"San Francisco doesn't have a suitable ley line node to house a Sanctum."
Another man, burly and dressed in a green tight-fitting outfit, with a buzz cut, answered with a gentle tone, explaining.
His name is Mordo.
He was a baron from a small country in Western Europe.
He was the chief disciple of Kamar-Taj, the secret sanctuary in Kathmandu.
He was the undisputed senior among the many mystic spellcasters!
With abundant talent and a deep foundation, he mastered mystic magic in various fields, and was good at guiding apprentices to understand the concepts of magic and explore the unknown.
In the eyes of outsiders, Baron Mordo was the heir apparent to the Ancient One!
He was being groomed to be the next Master of Kamar-Taj!
Of course.
Everyone knows what happened later.
Baron Mordo lost the title of Sorcerer Supreme.
Defeated by the newcomer, Stephen Strange.
In a fit of pique, he defected from Kamar-Taj!
"Mr. Lo Pei."
"It seems the alien forces are becoming more and more aggressive..."
"Could they be deliberately attacking the Sanctums?!"
The fat mage frowned.
This was one of the few great mages of Kamar-Taj.
Wong.
Second only to the Ancient One and Doctor Strange in power!
As he spoke, everyone immediately noticed the sky was filled with hideous alien life forms madly charging towards the area of the Sanctum!
177A Bleecker Street.
Undeniably one of the primary targets of the villainous Loki's attacks!
In addition, there was the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters in Westchester County.
The Triskelion in Washington, D.C.
The World Security Council.
Even the powerful Fisk Company in Hell's Kitchen.
Without exception, all the targets possessed relics of Shendu.
The Twelve Talismans, which carried his limitless divine power!
Simply relying on the Shadow Assassin's abilities, it was indeed not easy to plunder them.
If Shen Du were to act personally, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar, with superheroes swarming to attack. Therefore, the recovery plan was once shelved.
Now, the time is finally ripe!
Against the backdrop of the Chitauri descending on New York, everywhere looting and destruction.
The Talisman recovery plan has been restarted.
In the near future, the residents of Kowloon Walled City, gangs, criminals, drug lords, and middlemen will be relocated.
Shendu's palace, which has been dormant deep beneath the Kowloon Peninsula, will also rise from the ground!
"Jade."
"I guarantee it."
"There's no castle more magnificent than my palace."
"If there is, then destroy it immediately."
Shen Du chuckled.
After resolving the Kowloon Committee's key figures with the synthesis flag awarded by the system, he had arrived in a famous city across the ocean.
The central stage of the Marvel Universe.
A city of sin, where countless superheroes and evil villains gathered.
New York.
The towering Empire State Building stood tall, overlooking the entire city.
A massive fissure ripped open in the sky.
A vortex swirled.
The power of space boiled, erupting forth.
Endless beams of blue light spewed out, violently tearing apart the barrier between worlds!
This brought the Chitauri army, from another galaxy, through a steel fortress the size of a planet.
They were being continuously deployed onto Earth, a world of peace and tranquility!
The universe was like a dark forest.
Every civilization was a hunter armed with a gun; any civilization that revealed its existence would face annihilation!
After all, the resources of the multiverse were constant and limited.
But the total population would constantly increase.
Many of the resources that cosmic civilizations depend on are also non-renewable and scarce.
Therefore, war becomes the only way to solve the problem!
"Listen."
"The screams and wails of the masses, how delightful?"
Dark Queen Jade sighed with an expression of utter enchantment.
For the golden-haired, blue-eyed, high-nosed, and deep-eyed foreigners before them,
The two Eastern demons showed almost no mercy.
When Western powers looted the land of China, their state of mind should have been similar!
Thanksgiving, as it's called, also has a history steeped in blood and slaughter.
"Only the descendants of the dragon, nurtured by the land of Shenzhou, are truly superior beings."
Shen Du snapped his fingers.
Immediately, a magical mirror materialized out of thin air.
It was divided into several sections.
Live broadcasts were being relayed, using the Shadow Assassin's perspective.
This was a profound spell copied from the incomplete version of the Compendium of Spells.
A brand-new incantation, invented after Shendu's imprisonment.
The ever-evolving Mirror Dimension technique!
Currently.
Nine Talismans are scattered throughout the city of sin!
Leaving aside the four Talismans on Lo Pei.
There are also the Ox, Dragon, Monkey, Pig, and Rabbit!
The Ox, symbolizing Shendu's boundless strength.
Limitless, ultimate power.
The Dragon, representing the power of flame, capable of unleashing terrifying flames of immense power, enough to annihilate everything!
Undoubtedly, Shendu's natal Talisman.
Capable of adding destructive force and power!
The Monkey, with its endless transformations.
Even the Sorcerer Supreme couldn't see through the disguise.
Pig, with eyes that could shoot lightning.
Comparable to the heat vision of the Kryptonian from the neighboring universe!
Rabbit, with high-speed movement.
Combined with the Rooster Talisman, it meant flight!
It could even travel through time, going back and forth between the past and future.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The roar of a blazing engine.
A figure clad in gold and crimson sped towards him, quickly closing the distance.
The arc reactor on his chest emitted a pure, brilliant light.
The lines and contours of the gold-titanium alloy armor, meticulously cut and assembled, exuded a technological aesthetic.
The outer shell seemed to be etched with complex pictograms, reminiscent of ancient Qin dynasty calligraphy.
It possessed the aura and intimidation of righteous magic.
It blended the characteristics of magic and technology.
This fusion resulted in the groundbreaking enchanted equipment before him.
The 'Anti-Shendu Armor'!
Of course.
Even with Tony Stark's genius-level intellect, considered the best in the Marvel Universe, his time in the field of magic was still relatively short.
Eastern culture was vast and profound, and the ancient scripts of the pre-Qin period were difficult to memorize, understand, and draw.
The materials for enchantment were extremely expensive and rare.
They were in high demand but short supply.
This meant that Stark's enchanted suit still remained at a relatively elementary stage.
Perhaps at the level of a magic apprentice.
However, even this progress had already shocked Lo Pei, the Dragon Warrior.
He had taught countless talented disciples in his lifetime, of various colors and bloodlines, including the prestigious families of China and the lords and nobles of the Lin dynasty.
The key is that none of them are as good as Tony Stark!
"Captain."
"There are several groups of alien monsters heading your way."
With a smug look on his face, Iron Man, sporting his signature mustache, reminded him through the communication device.
Whoosh!!
Then, with intense flames erupting from his palms and feet, he soared into the sky.
The pulse rays, imbued with magical elements and emitting a vibrant green hue, instantly pierced through a group of snarling Chitauri!
"Huh?"
Relying on his super senses and his instinctive aversion to the black magic, Stark suddenly changed his aim, turning his gaze towards the towering dome of the Empire State Building!
He could vaguely perceive a fluctuation of black energy.
The satellite radar and the naked eye couldn't see anything!
Could it be…
An illusion?
"Looks like magic has its downsides too."
Stark chuckled to himself.
He dove again, targeting a group of strangely behaving Chitauri!
"Magic and martial arts, huh?"
"Interesting."
Activating the Snake Talisman's power, Shen Du, now invisible, smirked.
