Chapter 226: The Nine Realms
Tang Song stood on the second-floor balcony with his hands behind his back, the Yellow Jade Thumb Ring on his thumb flashing with a faint light.
As he spoke, Black-clothed Big Men emerged from the shadows of the seemingly empty villa.
Dozens of burly, expressionless Black-clothed Big Men stood silently with their hands hanging down throughout the villa. At Tang Song's command, they quickly cleared away the traces left by Black Widow.
By the time several Stretched Rolls-Royces drove out of the villa one after another, the entire villa was as empty as if it had returned to a bare-bones state overnight.
...…
The Stretched Rolls-Royce drove on the Highway. Tang Song sat in the car, playing with the Yellow Jade Thumb Ring on his thumb, resting his eyes.
The Mind Stone was constantly emitting the Light of the Soul, tempering his Three Souls and Seven Spirits.
The Three Souls are Tai Guang, Shuang Ling, and You Jing.
The Seven Spirits refer to Chou Fei, Chu Hui, Fei Du, Tun Zei, Que Yin, Fu Shi, and Shi Gou.
The Three Souls and Seven Spirits combined are the Divine Soul.
After Sha Condensation, Gang Refining, and Forming the Core, the Divine Soul merges with the Golden Core. Upon Pill Break Nascent Soul Formation, a Cultivator can leave their Physical Body as a Nascent Soul.
Even if the Physical Body is destroyed, they can find another Husk and be reborn through possession.
From a modern scientific perspective, the process from Forming the Core to Nascent Soul.
It's like using True Essence Energy to forge an Energy Body for the soul.
This Energy Body is what is conventionally referred to as the Nascent Soul.
Tang Song had just reached Gang Refining Great Perfection. According to common sense, the next step would be Condensing the Great Core, and then slowly planting the Divine Soul Seed into the Golden Core.
Like an embryo in a mother's womb, it would slowly grow into a Primordial Spirit Infant.
But at this moment, under the nourishment of the Mind Stone, Tang Song's Divine Soul was rapidly expanding like a balloon.
It had only been a year since he obtained the Mind Stone, yet Tang Song's Divine Soul had reached a point where it could leave his body, detach from his Physical Body, and Interfere with reality.
The most intuitive experience brought by the powerful Divine Soul was the increased range of his Divine Sense.
As long as Tang Song wished, his Divine Sense could even cover half of Manhattan.
Without the protection of a Nascent Soul, the Divine Soul directly contacts the outside world.
In the Jambudvīpa World, only the deities who follow the Incense and Fire Deity Path dared to do this.
These Incense and Fire Deities didn't truly dare to expose their Divine Souls directly to the outside, enduring the baptism of Gang Wind. They cultivated by relying on the Incense Offerings of mortals.
Under the tempering of these Incense and Fire Thoughts, their Divine Souls gradually formed an Incense and Fire Golden Body.
But Incense and Fire, to put it simply, is just a trace of thought from the minds of Ordinary Person.
Deities live by absorbing Incense and Fire, which is somewhat like crowdfunding for Cultivation, using the mental thoughts of mortals to temper themselves.
However, as for Ghost Gods, for Ordinary Person, they exist if you believe, and don't if you don't! In the Jambudvīpa World, it's not that there aren't Great Experts who walk the Incense and Fire Deity Path, but there hasn't been a single one who achieved transcendence by relying on the Incense and Fire Deity Path.
Becoming powerful by borrowing external objects makes it difficult to escape dependence on those external objects. It's like a sandcastle built on a beach made of sand; when the tide rises, it washes away with the water.
Tang Song understood these principles, but he was still immersed in the pleasure of his Divine Soul rapidly strengthening. Compared to his slow, ox-cart-like accumulation of Strength through gradual Cultivation, using the Mind Stone for tempering his Divine Soul was like riding a rocket.
He was completely unaware that the power of the Mind Stone was silently amplifying his own desires.
Having tasted the sweetness, Tang Song's mind was now filled with thoughts of how to get his hands on the Reality Stone.
The Infinity Stones, in the Marvel Universe, were refined from the Singularity Essence of six points containing Infinite Energy before the Big Bang.
In Tang Song's understanding, these six Cosmic Gems were like the Gate of All Wonders, Sky Phoenix Mirror, and Eastern Emperor Bell in the Jambudvīpa World – Innate Pure Yang Spiritual Treasures.
They were products of the rules at the beginning of Heaven and Earth, the birth of the Universe.
In the Jambudvīpa World, each Innate Spiritual Treasure represents one or several rules: wisdom, matter, The Void...
And the six Infinity Stones represent the six Primal Powers, the six Primal Great Daos of the Marvel World.
The Space Gem, carried by the Cosmic Cube, represents Space.
By controlling it, the User can manipulate Space at will.
For example: separating, cutting, distorting, or rearranging, or even creating new Space; at the same time, it itself contains Infinite Energy.
Therefore, using the Space Gem makes space-based abilities like spatial teleportation, spatial distortion, and spatial stasis as simple as breathing.
The Asgardians used the Space Gem to open the Rainbow Bridge / Bifrost, which can freely cross Space and travel through the Nine Realms.
The Power Stone, sealed in the Orb, allows the User to grasp and control all Strength and Energy they attempt to master.
At the same time, the Power Stone itself contains Infinite Energy and has the power to support and enhance the other gems.
Using this gemstone, the User can even copy all physical Superpowers and make their own physical Attack and defense capabilities invincible.
In the *Guardians of the Galaxy* plot, Ronan used its power to easily destroy a Planet.
The Power Stone is the most intuitive of the six gems in its external manifestation, and it is also the one that can immediately unleash powerful power once obtained.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the User's Physical Quality must be strong enough to withstand the Backlash of the Power Stone.
The Aether, which is the Reality Stone, allows Ordinary Person to realize any dream or wish using it.
All scientific rules and Natural Laws are meaningless before it, as it can modify them at will.
The Reality Stone can not only create illusions indistinguishable from reality, but as long as the User is willing, it can turn the false into true, completely transforming all illusions into real reality.
As for the Mind Stone in Tang Song's hand, it can not only enhance Mental Power but also increase psychic abilities.
Furthermore, under the condition that other gems enhance its power, this gem can simultaneously enter the minds of all existing things.
It allows the User to enter the thoughts of others and also allows all dreams, thoughts, and Will to enter the User's Brain.
As for the Time Stone, with it, the entire world is like a book that the User can flip through at will, with almost no secrets.
Moreover, the gem can also be used as a Weapon, trapping enemies and the entire world in an infinite Time loop.
As for the most mysterious Soul Stone.
This gem can steal, manipulate, modify, or create souls, and can even seal many things within the gem.
Through it, the User can absorb and control the souls of creatures, and can also control and drive the Spirits of the Dead.
This gem is also the most unique because it possesses some independent self-Consciousness and has a hungry soul.
There is gain and there is loss. Mastering even one Infinity Stone can make one a hegemon in the Universe.
But the gifts of fate are all marked with a price in secret! Just like the Mind Stone in Tang Song's hand, it is indeed enhancing Tang Song's Strength, and there is no harm.
If he truly mastered the Mind Stone, Tang Song's Strength would likely leap directly to the Skyfather level, or even Single Universe Level.
Unfortunately, this kind of power is like water without a source; once the Mind Stone is lost, he will immediately be beaten back to his original state.
Tang Song has always believed in completely mastering power in his own hands, but under the influence of the Mind Stone, he gradually became lost from his original intention.
Even one Mind Stone is so powerful, what about getting the Reality Stone, or even, all six gems together?
Mastering the six rule powers of Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Strength, and Reality.
Could he become the master of this Universe...
By then, why would he still Cultivate Immortality? As long as he wanted, with a Finger Snap, perhaps relying on the power of the Infinity Stones, he could create a Heavenly Court.
Wisps of Black and White Qi floated above Tang Song's head. Inside the Yin-Yang White Fish, the Great Desolation Bell absorbed the Light of the Soul from the Mind Stone while emitting bursts of Bell Tolls, suppressing Tang Song's increasingly chaotic thoughts.
After absorbing the power overflowing from the Mind Stone, the Great Desolation Bell faintly possessed a trace of Magic Treasure Ability.
The original body of the Great Desolation Bell was cast by the Great Desolation Rogue in imitation of the Innate Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure Eastern Emperor Bell, and later added various Restriction Formations such as soul suppression, mind stabilization, and body protection.
Even in the Jambudvīpa World, it was a top-tier True Spirit Magic Treasure. Unfortunately, compared to the vast, ocean-like power of the Mind Stone, let alone Tang Song's imitation, even the genuine Great Desolation Bell compared to the Mind Stone, in terms of Position/Status, was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.
Dong dong dong dong—
The sound of Bell Tolls echoed deep within Tang Song's Mind, clear and distant.
...…
"Red Queen! Connect me to Hill!"
"Yes, Boss!" A loli girl's Voice sounded from Tang Song's Wrist Device.
Then, his wrist Wrist Device projected a red Light and Shadow. In the Light and Shadow appeared the slender figure of Maria Hill, sitting at her Office desk, reviewing Documents.
"Boss!" Hill took off her Gold-Rimmed Glasses and rubbed her eye sockets tiredly before greeting Tang Song.
With S.H.I.E.L.D. reorganized, she had too many Matters to handle every day.
Supernatural Power(s) Crime, Hydra hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D., dealing with Alien Weaponry that had fallen into the Black Market. After Tony Stark revealed himself as Iron Man, the number of Supernatural Power(s) Crimes worldwide surged dramatically.
This number reached its peak after the Battle of Lyon.
All of this required S.H.I.E.L.D. to handle, plus a large backlog of cases accumulated from dealing with Hydra before.
The increase in workload kept Hill exceptionally busy.
She looked up at Tang Song: "Boss, do you need something?"
"There's a piece of Information I need you to Report to the World Security Council.
Before long, the Nine Realms from Norse Myths and Legends—Asgard, Vanaheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim, Jotunheim, Helheim, Svartalfheim, Muspelheim, and Earth—will converge! S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to be prepared!"
Tang Song stroked the Mind Stone on his Yellow Jade Thumb Ring and told Hill about the Convergence of the Nine Realms.
Hill blinked, somewhat puzzled: "Convergence of the Nine Realms? Are you referring to the astronomical phenomenon of nine planets aligning? Not long ago, Dr. Erik Selvig, an Expert in astronomy, observed that several celestial bodies would soon move outside Earth's orbit and align with it. You specifically called to inform me; will this natural phenomenon have any Influence on Earth?"
"The Convergence of the Nine Realms is more than just a nine-planet alignment!"
Tang Song explained to Hill:
"The Convergence of the Nine Realms means that these nine worlds, to some extent, overlap~"
"Imagine the Spirits of the Dead from Helheim, or Frost Giants from Jotunheim appearing on Earth, what kind of Influence would that have..."
"I understand!" Agent Hill's expression became serious. "What do you want me to do?"
"Report the Information to the World Security Council, and assemble the Avengers! I will have Frank assist you in resolving this Trouble! Also, I have a Plan; I'll have Red Queen send it to you shortly!"
Half a month passed in a flash.
Soon, the anomaly of the nine-planet alignment appeared on Earth.
Ordinary Person could see several giant Planet aligned in a straight line with the naked eye.
If this happened on Earth in Tang Song's first life, it would be a waste of such a rare phenomenon in a thousand years if it didn't cause tens of thousands of Ordinary Person to transmigrate.
After receiving Intelligence from Asgard, governments of various countries increased their Surveillance worldwide.
Nearly a hundred satellites equipped with Energy Monitors formed a net around Earth in low-Earth orbit, monitoring suspicious Energy Fluctuations appearing on Earth.
Major Observatories also operated at full capacity.
With the Convergence of the Nine Realms, Dimensions connected, and the Nine Realms interconnected, many strange and bizarre things appeared on Earth, just as Tang Song had said.
Frost Giants, Dwarf Demons, Sea Monsters, Fire Sprites, and even a Western Giant Dragon appeared out of nowhere.
The rapid response forces of various countries, S.H.I.E.L.D. Special Agents, members of the Avengers, and the X-Men composed of Utopia Mutants were on standby on the Helicarrier 24 hours a day.
Like firefighters, once the Skynet System composed of satellites issued an Alarm, they would rush to the Scene in Quinjets and eliminate the dangers appearing on Earth one by one.
Military equipped with Chitauri Energy Weapons were completely on par with these Nine Realms Monsters in terms of combat Strength.
The Energy Monitoring satellites in the Sky assigned these intruding creatures from other worlds to the corresponding teams based on Energy Grading.
For example, that Western Giant Dragon, which was at least twenty meters long with a wingspan exceeding fifty meters, had scales so hard that ordinary Energy Weapons had no Effect on it.
Director Hill directly used her Clearance to activate the Space-Based Weapon System.
A Tungsten Rod was directly dropped from a satellite in low-Earth orbit. The specially made Tungsten Rod, weighing over ten tons each, was accelerated by the satellite's launch, directly smashing the Frost Giant Dragon into a meat patty.
This Weapon, which Boss Tang obtained from the Cobra Organization, certainly didn't have the Effect of sinking a continent with one strike.
However, under gravity acceleration, the destructive power of this Tungsten Rod was not inferior to that of ordinary Tactical Nuclear Weapons.
The most crucial point was that it was clean and pollution-free.
Tang Song did not choose to hide this Space-Based Weapon. After all, the number of satellites in the Sky is limited, and even if this Space-Based Weapon is used once, its position can be calculated through satellite movement.
So Tang Song directly chose to make this Space-Based Weapon the flagship product of Tang's Arms Company, a subsidiary of Tang Group.
However, when Tang's Arms Company first proposed the plan for this Space-Based Weapon.
Many countries, including the Federation, didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until Huaguo announced the introduction of manufacturing technology for a set of Space-Based Weapons.
Huaguo stated, if you don't build it, we will! When Huaguo's few Space-Based Satellites went into orbit, the remaining countries thought, this isn't right. This thing is like a Nuclear Warhead; how can you have it and I don't?
No one wanted a sharp Treasured Sword hanging over their heads.
These countries then spent a fortune to purchase the Design Drawings for the Space-Based Satellite from Tang Group.
...…
S.H.I.E.L.D., Helicarrier
Secretary-General Nick Fury of the World Security Council, along with representatives from several other countries stationed at S.H.I.E.L.D., stood on the Deck of the Helicarrier, looking at the more than a hundred Iron Soldiers before them.
Director Hill introduced to them: "These Iron Soldiers are the latest products developed by Tang Group.
Each unit is loaded with an Artificial Intelligence Subsystem and a Tracking Device. Our Plan is to have these Iron Soldiers enter the other worlds in reverse through the Nine Realms connection opportunity!"
Hearing Hill propose the Plan regarding Tang Group, Nick Fury and the other Councillor of the World Security Council's eyes lit up.
No one who could be placed in such a confidential place as the World Security Council by various countries was a fool; fools would have been squeezed out in political struggles long ago.
They naturally understood the meaning of Hill's words. Once the Iron Soldiers successfully located the worlds, it represented seven Planet the size of Earth that could be developed.
The interests involved were too great.
For over a year, the Interstellar Joint Exploration Team had been exploring outwards through Space Gates, busy for over half a year. Although they found some Resource Planets, there were very few Planet suitable for Human habitation.
Nick Fury looked at the neatly arranged Iron Soldiers, frowned, and asked in a deep Voice: "The Dimension connection is due to the Convergence of the Nine Realms. Once this celestial Effect disappears, even if we succeed in locating them, relying solely on our Spaceship Technology, the variables involved in traveling to other Planet are too great!"
Nick Fury's impression of Tang Song was not very good.
He also maintained a certain level of caution towards the things produced by Tang Group. Especially the day before yesterday, he lost an elite special forces team.
His capable Subordinate, Black Widow Natasha, was currently under quarantine and investigation.
This made Nick Fury somewhat resistant to the Plan proposed by Tang Song.
Hill smiled: "Tang Group reportedly developed the ability to harness the power of the Cosmic Cube for a short time, and can use the Cosmic Cube to open a few more Space Gates!"
Nick Fury's Pupils contract. The Space Gate formed by the Cosmic Cube was already Earth's most important strategic Weapon. According to the analysis of scientists from various countries, moving this gate would require Energy equivalent to at least two suns.
Majestic Tibetan Snow Mountain.
On the steep, rugged, majestic, and strange peaks, it was a vast expanse of white. Although the sun was shining brightly,
the vast white Ice and Snow still made one feel icy cold all over. Tang Song, wearing a white Trench Coat, leaned on a Cane and stood smiling on the Viewing Platform on a steep cliff.
His long hair behind his head moved without wind. Two extremely thin black and white streams of Qi shot up from his Heavenly Spirit, rising over ten feet high. The ends of the Qi streams had already blended with the surrounding air, vague and unclear, but the turning Yin-Yang Fish were faintly visible.
A gale howled out from behind Tang Song. A White-browed Tiger with Piercing Eyes, nearly four meters long and reeking of strong alcohol, rushed out.
It affectionately circled Tang Song's body a few times, sniffed him vigorously, and then obediently followed behind him.
Tang Song seemed to be walking slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he crossed over several mountain peaks and arrived at a cliff.
After gazing for a while at the beautiful scenery of the vast snow sea and mist-shrouded surroundings, the buildings like piled-up Palace and towers, Tang Song took a deep, comfortable breath. He unconsciously muttered to himself: "How luxurious! Master Ancient One has turned an entire Tibetan Snow Mountain into her back garden. Tsk tsk, as expected, strength makes you the boss!"
"These are merely the accumulation of generations of Mage. It's not like you, who has turned the entire Earth into your back garden!" A clear, gentle Voice sounded from behind Tang Song.
Tang Song turned his head. Indeed, no one else could appear silently behind him.
A Bald Head, yellow robes, eyes like a wise person who has seen through everything.
Tang Song showed no self-awareness of being caught badmouthing someone behind their back. He nodded lightly: "Master Ancient One!"
...
Ancient One waved her finger, and a Space Gate hissing and sparking appeared out of thin air.
Tang Song patted the Big Cat's head, telling it to wait there.
He himself followed Master Ancient One into the Space Gate she opened. On the other side of the Space Gate, rows of bookshelves were faintly visible.
"You came to find me for the Reality Stone?!"
Ancient One held a book in her hands and sat down comfortably on a nearby chair, looking up at Tang Song.
Her gaze lingered on the Mind Stone embedded in the thumb ring on Tang Song's thumb.
At this moment, all the mystery and aura around her seemed to fade away. She looked like an Ordinary Person, but her Bald Head was exceptionally conspicuous.
Tang Song stroked the Mind Stone on his thumb and walked straight to the sofa opposite Ancient One and sat down.
"Calculating according to the Timeline, the Reality Stone should appear soon! I stayed with Thor's little girlfriend for over ten days, and it seems she has no possibility of coming into contact with the Aether!"
In front of Ancient One, Tang Song didn't seem to hide his covetousness for the Reality Stone.
After learning about the Convergence of the Nine Realms, he sent Fox and Selene to monitor Jane Foster.
After all, according to the original Plot, the Aether would end up with her.
However, even after he personally followed Thor's little girlfriend for half a month, he didn't see any sign of the Aether.
Ancient One closed the book in her hands and moved her right index finger. Countless green curved lines flashed in the Study.
"Without your appearance, in all Timelines, the probability of the Aether attaching to Jane Foster was over 80%! The aftermath of this event caused the death of Queen Frigga! To a certain extent, it led to Ragnarök in Asgard!"
"Generally speaking, this Timeline is difficult to change. Even if Odin knew about this possibility from me, changing it would still be difficult."
"It's like a fish jumping out of the water. Even if it sees the Road Ahead, the splashing water will quickly disappear. They are still ultimately within the long river of Time..."
"You are different! Your appearance is like throwing an apple onto a chessboard. Because of you, Earth entered the Interstellar Age a century early!"
"You directly changed the course of the original long river of Time!"
Tang Song rubbed the tip of his nose, thoughtfully: "In other words, the Aether will not appear on Earth anymore!"
"On the original Timeline, Jane Foster bringing the Aether to Earth was a necessary coincidence, but now this coincidence has been completely disrupted because of your appearance! The Aether is still in the realm where the Dark Elves reside, but it is in the gap between two worlds!"
"Master Ancient One, I want to know the exact Whereabouts of the Aether!" Tang Song showed the same attitude Mitsui Hisashi had when he wanted to play basketball, looking at Ancient One before him with an eager expression.
Ancient One remained very calm in the face of Boss Tang's pleading look. She said slowly and gently: "I can tell you the Whereabouts of the Aether, however, the condition is, you deal with Mephisto first!"
...
Dealing with a Demon Great Lord is a difficult matter.
All sorts of variables, those unpredictable emergencies, and unexpected Trouble can make a seemingly perfect Plan full of holes.
Not to mention, Tang Song and Ancient One were dealing with a cunning schemer who was already old and experienced.
In a Study filled with books, Tang Song and Master Ancient One were setting a Trap for an Old Devil.
Tang Song had his own Plan. Before him was a Golden Parchment Scroll.
This was the Parchment Scroll that originally held the Contract of San Venganza.
Tang Song drew out the Aura Mephisto left in this Parchment Scroll and cast a Round Light Technique!
In Eastern Myths and Legends, immortals could draw a circle on a wall, in water, or on their palm, and display various images like showing a movie. This is the Round Light Technique.
The Round Light Technique is a magical Magic Art with 'image display' function, and it is one of the advanced Magic Arts for tracking Information. This Round Light Technique is not difficult to learn, but the distance of the things one wants to see depends on the Cultivator's Dao cultivation.
This kind of Magic Art is generally only qualified to be learned by Cultivators above the Nascent Divinity stage, with Magic Power support.
At his thumb, the power of the Mind Stone supported him in casting this Round Light Technique.
Master Ancient One looked at Mephisto's figure appearing in the Round Light mirror with some surprise and praised: "A good Magic Art!"
In the Round Light mirror, Mephisto, who was trying to cause Trouble, had no idea he was being spied on. He was talking to a tall, pale-faced Dark Elves with pointed ears:
"The Convergence of the Nine Realms is imminent, Malekith, this is your Dark Elves opportunity!"
Malekith stared intently at Mephisto and said somewhat dejectedly: "The Aether was taken by Odin. We can't defeat the Asgardians. With the Aether in hand, Odin has become even stronger!"
Mephisto's eyes flashed with a strange Black Light: "The Aether did not fall into Odin's hands. As far as I know, it is hidden somewhere secret in Midgard."
Mephisto showed a strange Smile,
"With the Convergence of the Nine Realms, Odin is tied up in Helheim. This is your opportunity. You Dark Elves can march straight in, attack Asgard, attack Midgard. By then, the Nine Realms will be yours."
Malekith looked at Mephisto and snorted coldly: "Mephisto, I don't trust you. Your reputation throughout the Nine Realms isn't exactly good!"
"Tsk tsk tsk," Mephisto conjured a cup of wine as crimson as blood, "Malekith, your Dark Elves were defeated by the Asgardian army, your entire race fled to this lonely Space. I was there at the time!"
"Truly pitiful. Under the Asgardian army, you Dark Elves were like pitiful maggots, crushed one by one!"
"Don't you want Revenge!"
"No!"
Amidst the Great Devil's low and malicious laughter, Malekith's eyes turned completely red. The humiliation of that defeat years ago seemed to reappear before his eyes.
This experienced trickster knew Malekith's thoughts without needing to look.
"Shut up!"
Malekith squeezed out two words through gritted teeth. He said:
"I need some quiet."
"No, what you need isn't quiet."
The Great Devil said:
"What you need is Revenge!"
"Revenge against Asgard, revenge against the Nine Realms, turn the entire Nine Realms into a land of darkness. Isn't that what your Dark Elves race wants to achieve?"
Mephisto waved his fists, he screamed: "Kill your way back to Asgard, turn it upside down!"
"Kill all the Asgardians!"
"Bang!"
The irritated Malekith stood up and punched the Great Devil in the cheek.
Malekith was completely blown apart by this punch. His body turned into Firelight flying everywhere, darting around the Room, and quickly reformed into the Great Devil's appearance.
This guy, what appeared here was just a projection. His Main Body is probably causing Trouble somewhere in Hell.
Truly a master at fanning the flames!
"Tsk tsk, young people have such tempers."
The reformed Mephisto scratched his chin with his Claws. His dark red eyes rolled around. He stretched out his hands and pressed them down. The Great Devil's scheme was simple and direct, but it was very effective.
Truly worthy of being a devil who tempts hearts. Tang Song watched Mephisto's performance through the Round Light Technique. He hadn't expected Mephisto was also involved in the Dark Elves' invasion of Asgard.
"Master Ancient One, can this Contract of San Venganza be used to lure Mephisto out?"
Countless green runes flashed in Ancient One's eyes. Before her eyes, countless futures appeared. "No!" Ancient One shook her head, "With just the Contract of San Venganza, Mephisto won't easily step out of Hell. It's not just because he fears us; no Demon Great Lord dares to easily come to the Mortal Realm. Once their True Body is injured, even if they escape back to Hell, those Hell Lord won't miss this opportunity!"
Tang Song understood. It was like piranhas; normally they get along peacefully, but once there's blood, the other piranhas will swarm forward and devour the injured Kindred.
"He doesn't need to come in his True Body. As long as we capture his split soul, my Nail Head Seven Arrows Book can be effective!"
Mephisto's Hell was no different from the Hell of other Great Lords, all filled with scenes of depravity.
Demons roar endlessly all day long and constantly fight amongst themselves. The nature of Hell Creatures is wantonly released, and as the Liege of this place, the Great Devil has no intention of changing or suppressing it.
The souls of sinners who have fallen into this Hell are being tormented by the demons. These guys with terrible personalities take pleasure in this.
Outside the Old Devil's gloomy-looking castle Palace, next to an underground forge used for crafting Weapons, on a large stone platform, Mephisto's High-ranking Demons were holding a banquet.
They sat on stone chairs decorated with thigh bones and were loudly shouting with demons or Demon they knew.
Charming-faced, hot-bodied Succubi went back and forth among these High-ranking Demons during their banquet like butterflies flitting through flowers, constantly serving delicious Alcohol to the adults, enduring their lecherous hands, and also bringing some prepared 'ingredients'.
The most delicious Food in Hell.
A group of drooling Horned Demons leaned on their Sai, waiting for the Delicacies to be served.
When Mephisto was in a good mood, it would also participate in the High-ranking Demons' afternoon meal time, chat with its Subordinate, and appease them.
Or deceive them.
The Old Devil knows how to enjoy life and knows how to share.
It would always take out some interesting souls it had collected to show off to its Subordinate.
It hoped its Subordinate would all become schemers who stir up trouble everywhere, just like it. Unfortunately, Hell Creatures as 'talented' as it are ultimately few.
This occasionally made the Old Devil feel a touch of loneliness.
However, today, Mephisto was not in a good mood. Perhaps it was the grogginess from waking up after a midday nap.
Lately, it had been somewhat sleepy!
In short, the capricious Old Devil declined the Invitations from its servants.
For some reason, Mephisto had been feeling restless. Someone was trying to deal with it. Who was it? Beelzebub, Satan? Or some ignorant Great Demon?...
A pure black Spaceship crossed Dimensions and appeared above Earth.
Malekith looked at the few dozen Subordinate he had left and said in a deep Voice: "This is Midgard, the Land of the Middle Court. Go, find the Aether. It is the only hope for our race!"
Before he could finish speaking, a hissing sound rang out from outside the Spaceship.
Malekith's expression changed. He opened the Spaceship's external Surveillance. In the Surveillance feed, a gold and red Iron Man was emitting two crimson lasers from his hands, cutting his Spaceship.
"Take him down!"
Malekith roared in anger. A slender Dark Elves piloted the Spaceship. From the sides of the Spaceship, over a dozen Gun Barrels extended.
Puff puff puff puff!
Black spheres that looked like black holes shot out from the Gun Barrels, speeding towards Tony Stark at supersonic speed.
Wherever the black holes passed, light, air, everything along the way was sucked into the black holes.
Tony Stark saw this scene. Plasma Flames shot out from his feet, and he quickly dodged upwards into the air. Although he was confident in the defense of his Vibranium Armor, he didn't want to gamble his life on it. These black holes didn't seem easy to Provoke.
Dozens of Flying Motorcycles similar to Chitauri speeders surrounded the Dark Elves Spaceship from all sides.
Elite S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent in pairs, holding Pulse Energy Guns, sprayed fire at the Spaceship.
Improved Pulse Energy Guns and Pulse Cannons carried by the flying speeders opened Holes one by one in the Dark Elves Warship.
Tony Stark called out: "Drive them back to their Hometown, Guys!"
Accompanied by a 'Hulk' roar, a muscular green-skinned Figure launched upwards from below, delivering a heavy punch to the bottom of the Dark Elves Warship.
Clang! The Warship, weighing tens of thousands of tons, immediately trembled. A fist print appeared on the bottom of the Warship. Cracks visible to the naked eye spread towards the Hull.
Hulk, wearing a pair of Dark Green Vibranium Gauntlets crafted from Vibranium on his hands, and Jet-Powered Boots on his feet, flew in the air, leaving fist prints in the Warship's blind spots with punches from the left and right.
Vibranium Technology from Wakanda. The Gauntlets amplified Hulk's inherent Strength by nearly three times through Vibranium Technology.
Under Hulk's repeated heavy punches, the Dark Elves Warship was momentarily like a sailboat in a storm.
On the Helicarrier, the people from the World Security Council were watching this scene through Surveillance satellites.
"Secretary-General, can you ask them to be mindful? I think this Alien Spaceship is quite good; we can keep it as Research Material!"
Seeing their side gaining the upper hand, the atmosphere on the Helicarrier was very harmonious. A High-Ranking Official from the Federal Department of Defense said to Nick Fury with a chuckle.
Nick Fury looked at the Surveillance Screen, just as he was about to say something.
Behind him, Black Widow, who had just finished her investigation, suddenly pulled out a small lady's Black Pistol from her thigh, aimed at the Back of the Head of Nick Fury, and fired three shots.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sudden scene almost scared everyone. Because of the Convergence of the Nine Realms, top combat forces like the Avengers and X-Men had all been dispatched.
The people remaining on the Helicarrier were mostly Ordinary Agent, High-Ranking Officials from the World Security Council, and representatives from various countries.
Natasha Romanoff's reaction was fast and ruthless. These people didn't react at all, watching helplessly as Natasha Romanoff emptied the Magazine.
