The Lord's Shadow Legion is controlled solely by absorbing the energy of masks. The Shadow Legion comprises ten tribes, each with nine masks. Only by placing one of these masks on a person's face (or an animal) can the general be resurrected within the wearer's body. By absorbing the energy of one mask, the Lord successfully controlled the ninja-like legion for a short period. The Shadow Legion's tireless nature, immense power, unwavering loyalty, and unhindered mobility (they can even travel into the Dream Realm through the Ghost Realm) make them both the most effective servants and the most formidable adversaries.
The overall combat power of the Shadow Legion is extremely strong. Their soul-like magic has imprisoned a large number of souls, making them the most notorious Shadow Legion.
Before the story began, Qin Tian hadn't been idle at all. He was very interested in the ancient history of this world. Although the era of demonic rule had long passed, some hidden historical documents might have recorded it.
As Qin Tian's actions unfolded, he began to plunder numerous precious historical documents from museums in Eastern Europe, Germany, the United Kingdom, and even ancient countries. This included numerous low-quality magic books, all of which were plundered. Regardless of their usefulness, anything valuable escaped his scrutiny. Umbrella's intelligence department also closely monitored Jackie Chan's location, regardless of whether it was useful or not.
Umbrella Corporation headquarters in Chinatown, San Francisco, USA.
The iconic Umbrella Corporation building stood out in Chinatown. In the office, Qin Tian and Wesker were constantly flipping through historical documents, even robots helping to scan the necessary books.
"The Shadow Legion is actually a magic army created by sacrificing souls. The King of the Shadow Legion, Valon, is a wizard himself." Qin Tian said with emotion as he looked at the documents in his hand in the office.
"It's really interesting, the wizard civilization of the Demon Age, and the interesting magic." Wesker focused on various types of magic books. The profound theoretical knowledge of magic filled Wesker with interest.
The surface of the historical document in Qin Tian's hand was dark and yellow, and the condition inside the pages was not much better. Even from a distance, a rotten smell could be smelled. In order to read the terrifying amount of books, he used NZT-52's brain superman mode to read the ocean of books with a photographic memory.
Regardless of its appearance, it certainly has a long history. It was a collection he obtained from a secret museum in Eastern Europe. The eye-catching logo is a blood-red skull and crossbones logo on it. Anyone who has seen Jackie Chan Adventures knows what it means.
Wesker and Qin Tian had been working hard. Although their low-level magic was far inferior to that of the Holy Lord or their father, it was still better than nothing. Most of the magic books were low-level elemental magic, with a few on dark magic, but Qin Tian still enjoyed learning them. When it came to high-level elemental magic, the most powerful were definitely the Eight Demons. When he had the time, he would definitely absorb all the demonic black energy and transplant demon genes.
"Huh, I feel great after reading these magic books. My understanding of magic has also deepened a little." Qin Tian casually closed a magic book, turned his head and looked at Wesker and said.
"Me too. The T virus has given me more achievements." Wesker waved his hand and a small fireball was thrown out. It was the elemental magic that Wesker learned from the magic book.
"That's great. I have also learned the magic I wanted." Qin Tian looked at Wesker and said lightly. His focus was not on elemental magic.
Instead, he used various dark curse magic, hypnosis, and space magic. In the later stage, he might directly absorb the devil's black energy, so he tried his best to learn magic that did not exist, and was able to use low-level magic initially.
For several days, Qin Tian kept reading historical documents and various types of magic books.
Use your own advantages to use cells to absorb magical elements from the air, store them in the cells to strengthen your compatibility with magical energy, and lay the foundation for using magic.
Qin Tian had already achieved the initial stage of simultaneous advancement in both magic and technology. While his initial strength wasn't as impressive, his potential was limitless. With the terrifying analytical capabilities of the NZT-52, they had gained considerable benefits.
"Establish a magic rune department and let scientists join in cracking the rune technology in the magic book. Later on, we will add magicians to conduct research together." Qin Tian looked at the types of magic books and prepared to start researching magic rune technology and add it to his various technologies.
"Boss, after testing, among the 35.2 million books, there are only 2,760 magic books or ancient books that can be studied. Our research on magic is very little." Wesker looked at Qin Tian helplessly and said lightly.
There are many runes in the magic book that Qin Tian looted. There is no problem in analyzing it, but it requires a lot of time and the participation of a magician, which is almost impossible at present.
The world of Jackie Chan Adventures might be slightly inferior to the Marvel Universe, but not by much. Whether it's the Age of Demons or ancient wizard civilizations, they all hide countless treasures. Among them is the creator of the Book of Time. Qin Tian speculated that it might have been created by a wizard god who transcended time and space, containing all the laws of the world.
Qin Tian wasn't like those fictional protagonists who, upon arriving in other worlds, would simply grab whatever they could find. Instead, he was more interested in the secrets hidden within those worlds, delving deeply into their depths and slowly reaping the benefits. Qin Tian's perusal of historical documents revealed the historical context of Jackie Chan's Adventures.
First, there was the Demon Age of the Eight Demons, followed by the Wizard Age of the Eight Undead Wizard Gods. This brilliant magical civilization lasted for thousands of years, giving rise to numerous legends. However, this prosperity was short-lived with the rise of technological civilization. Magical civilization also declined due to the disappearance of various precious magic books, and the wizard civilization of air magic gradually disappeared.
Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu had become close friends, and they also received recognition from their friend Blake. Finally, Dad called. They didn't realize they had become targets. The chicken talisman no longer belonged to them, but to Qin Tian alone.
"I know what those carvings mean. They are some spells." Dad explained to Jackie Chan thoughtfully.
"Who is that, Dad?" Jackie Chan asked Dad in a low voice.
"Yes, some spell with powerful magic. The shield won't matter."
Dad explained helplessly, but what he didn't notice was that Tru had already come to the antique shop and captured Dad. A new battle was about to begin, and the forces hidden in the dark were waiting for every opportunity.
