Chapter 979 - Ch: 90-99

Chapter 90: The Mandarin Wants to Rebel!

[You have pacified Zheng Xian; obtained the eight trigrams formation.]

A line of bubbles emerged.

A brilliant light overflowed from Linn's eyes.

Immediately, he held up a scroll, only to see magical light swirling as profound and complex diagrams and text manifested upon it.

Even though Linn had never touched it before, he could tell at a glance that the eight trigrams formation carried the power of laws!

Qian and Kun, Li and Kan, Xun and Dui, Zhen and Gen.

As his fingertips touched the eight trigrams formation, he could clearly feel the Fire Qi undergo a subtle change, resonating with the Li hexagram.

"Venerable Linn, does the eight trigrams formation created by Marquis Wu, Zhuge Liang, truly have the ability to seal Chiyou?"

Zheng Xian's expression was filled with doubt.

Regarding matters in the domain of Arcane Arts, he couldn't say he was completely ignorant, but he only had a superficial understanding.

"If someone else used the eight trigrams formation, they would naturally be unable to seal Chiyou."

"However, if I use the eight trigrams formation, I can seal Chiyou!"

Linn curled his lips into a smile.

Because he already had a premonition that as long as he could crack the mysteries of the eight trigrams formation, he could 100% awaken the demonic qis!

The demonic qis from the Fire Demon Shendu and his seven other dark brothers would be enough to allow him to reach the ultimate sublimation!

Demon Kings and Demon Gods belong to different categories of beings.

A Demon King is comparable to a Skyfather, while a Demon God is comparable to a God.

Therefore, a Demon King can refine talismans, but a Demon God can transform into demonic qi, which is equivalent to mastering source power and deciphering the source code of the Multiverse!

[sss-rank opportunity mission: Defeat the Demon God Chiyou to obtain the Earth Demonic Qi.]

A line of text bubbles emerged.

Linn was excited.

As expected!

Just as he had surmised, he could follow the example of Shendu's son, Drago, in the Marvel Universeand slowly collect all eight great demonic qis!

The Earth Demonic Qi came from the Earth Fiend, Dai Gui.

It symbolized the Kun hexagram among the eight trigrams, carrying all things and nurturing natural life.

It allowed for the manipulation of soil and the drawing of power from the earth!

However, Linn calmed down slightly because he didn't know where the Demon God Chiyou was located, and defeating the Demon God Chiyou was not the same thing as sealing the Demon God Chiyou.

"Director Zheng Xian, thank you for your gift. As a return gift..."

"I shall bestow Rune Technology upon you."

With a wave of Linn's hand, a rune bracer appeared. It was shaped like a silver bracelet, bright in texture, and flowing with the luster of Arcane Arts.

It was forged from Dragon Scale Metal.

It could even form a set effect with a sling ring, enhancing the power of Arcane Arts without requiring any price to be paid.

"Rune Technology?"

"A fusion of Arcane Arts and machinery? Venerable Linn, I heard you are a genius at artifact refining and that the Sanctum's combat dolls all came from you. It seems the rumors were true."

Zheng Xian showed a look of joy.

Immediately, he took the rune bracer to examine it. If they could master this technology, the strength of the Divine Spear Bureau would skyrocket, enough to deal with the Ghost Realm invasion.

Mortal bodies mastering Arcane Arts.

They would sweep away and completely wipe out the zombies contaminated by Chiyou's demonic qi.

"Old Wong will also assist you."

Linn signaled with his eyes.

Kamar-Taj and the Divine Spear Bureau had already reached a cooperation. The primary task was to resolve Chiyou and prevent him from returning to life.

"Venerable Linn, I actually have a request. May I ask if it's possible to establish an academy of Arcane Arts on the Hong Kong Peninsula to teach magic to the people of the East?"

Zheng Xian's eyes were filled with expectation.

This was also the intention of the Premier. After all, magical incidents were occurring frequently, and firmly clinging to Linn's support had become a necessity.

"Fine."

"Let Old Wong serve as the principal then."

Linn made the appointment directly.

This also left Wong pleasantly surprised. He was to serve as the principal? Wasn't this a promotion?

"The land of Nine Provinces is full of outstanding people and spiritual places. Many myths and legends originated here, and since I also come from the East, I naturally won't ignore it."

Linn spoke candidly.

Although he came from the East of another World, the East of this World was no different from his memory.

Perhaps he would visit frequently in the future, so he needed to maintain good relations.

This also brought a look of gratification to Zheng Xian's face.

"Venerable Linn, the relevant departments will surely return the favor."

"We will absolutely not fail the Venerable's high expectations."

Zheng Xian's tone was enthusiastic.

After all, Chiyou's descendants and the remnants of the old era were all dangerous factors for both the Divine Spear Bureau and Kamar-Taj.

Especially the Ten Rings Gang!

It was said they had existed for a thousand years, and the kidnapping incident Tony Stark experienced was also related to the Ten Rings Gang!

"The Mandarin possesses a set of Ten Rings that bestowed upon him God-like power and the magic of eternal youth."

"In the 20th century, The Mandarin even became a warlord and almost unified the Nine Provinces."

"Fortunately, the previous Sorcerer Supreme stopped The Mandarin."

"However, with the resurgence of the Demon God Chiyou, The Mandarin is on the move again."

Zheng Xian's eyes showed worry.

He was more worried about The Mandarin raising a heavenly hammer and leading the remnants of the old era to break Chiyou's seal.

Who could stop that?

Even if Venerable Linn had the eight trigrams formation, he hadn't deciphered it yet!

[a-rank opportunity mission: Defeat The Mandarin to obtain the Ten Rings.]

[a-rank opportunity mission: Defeat the Heavenly Hammer Emissary Khan to obtain the heavenly hammer.]

Text bubbles emerged.

Linn narrowed his eyes slightly.

A heavenly hammer had fallen in the East?

Was this Khan a remnant of the former dynasty?

Ding-ling!

A vibration came from Zheng Xian's pocket. Seeing the caller ID, his expression couldn't help but turn solemn.

This was the number of a General from the Western Regions.

"General? A heavenly hammer fell in the Western Regions, and Khan raised this heavenly hammer? The Mandarin was also there?"

Zheng Xian looked tense.

He had already witnessed the power of a heavenly hammer, and this criminal nicknamed Khan was also a Level 4 Mutant who had long since awakened the x-factor!

the East has a population of one billion.

The number of Mutants was even higher, but they had a different policy than the Federation, designating Mutants as the fiftieth ethnic group rather than treating them as a cancer.

Even the Weather Witch was a Mutant, reaching at least the Alpha level.

"The Western Regions?"

"This matter must be handled immediately."

Linn waved his hand.

Magical sparks spiraled, transforming into a Mystic Gate in the blink of an eye.

The Western Region Plateau.

Armed forces and the Ten Rings Gang were in a fierce firefight. The fear of insufficient firepower had still not been alleviated.

Artillery shells fell like rain, slamming into the ground and kicking up a burst of pungent smoke as heatwaves rolled.

However, a middle-aged figure swung his arms. The Ten Rings interlocked with each other, pouring out a magnetic storm force field that blocked all attacks.

Beside him stood a bald, muscular man holding a heavenly hammer in both hands. With a face full of ferocious and cruel expression, he swung it with force!

He directly blew up a tank!

Even if lives were thrown at him, they couldn't stop Khan from moving forward. He vowed to rebuild his ancestors' glory and make the Western Regions a nation once again!

"Mutants are born noble. This is a gift from the Gods. Why should we take orders from mortals?"

"With this heavenly hammer, I will become the greatest King of the Western Regions!"

Khan solemnly declared, his voice majestic.

A hint of madness appeared on his face. He would overthrow human tyranny and turn the Western Regions into Eden.

"So you're the one called Khan?"

"Why do I get the feeling you're a fool?"

"Do you really think Kamar-Taj doesn't exist? That you can do whatever you want?"

Linn rose from the ground, his Levitation Power venting out as ripples swept across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he froze the Ten Rings warriors in place!

However, The Mandarin and Khan looked up at Linn, a hint of contempt flashing in their eyes as they couldn't help but scoff.

"I presume you are Linn? The Sorcerer Supreme who succeeded the Ancient One?"

"Even the Ancient One wouldn't dare speak to me like that. You, a boy whose hair hasn't even fully grown, dare to try and save face?"

Xu Wenwu's shirt was white, his expression mocking.

He had already obtained the Ten Rings before the Ancient One became the Sorcerer Supreme!

And his God-like power and magic of eternal youth had allowed him to live for a thousand years.

If not for the Sorcerer Ancient One's restrictions, he would have dominated the Nine Provinces long ago!

With the Ancient One stepping down and yielding her position, his ambition flared up. He planned to start from the Western Regions and gradually conquer the East!

"Who gave you the courage to disregard the Venerable?"

"The Sorcerer Supreme is the Sorcerer Supreme."

"Do you think one could become the Sorcerer Supreme without strength?"

Ch: 91-99

Chapter 91: The ※25⛬ Are Mine! (Requesting Gold Tickets)

Linn stood proudly in mid-air, like a God descending to earth, his body shimmering with divine light.

He reached out and grasped the black death sword.

The blade emitted a cold aura, like a creation of the abyss, sending shivers down one's spine and causing the weather to change as dark clouds gathered.

Wild thunder roared, and the sky trembled!

As the Sorcerer Supreme and the spokesperson of Midgard, he was already comparable to a Skyfather.

He was simply too lazy to give his all.

But The Mandarin actually refused to submit?

Then he needed a harsh lesson!

"Ten Rings, what kind of magic artifact is this? It's actually close to Rune Technology, belonging to a type of magical item."

Linn's gaze was profound.

Even without touching the Ten Rings, with his eyesight, he could see that the origin of the Ten Ringswas very special!

It might even be a creation of this Universe, but from another Universe. But where did The Mandarin find the Ten Rings?

"Boy, your hair hasn't even grown in yet. It seems Ancient One didn't teach you that you should respect your elders."

"Khan."

"I will handle this Sorcerer Supreme. You go deal with the other trash."

The Mandarin's face showed a ruthless look.

Then, his feet kicked off the air, the Ten Rings turning into steps to provide him with a platform, and he shot out like a cannonball, fast as a bolt of lightning.

Thousands of years of combat experience were enough to keep him undefeated. Moreover, with the support of the power of the Ten Rings, he was able to dominate the Western Regions, and even the Sorcerer Supreme could do nothing about it.

Boom!

The Ten Rings were like arrows, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

A sharp light flashed in Linn's eyes.

He lightly swung the black death sword, and a sonic boom suddenly erupted. A deafening roar exploded, and the Impact waves swept through heaven and earth.

This was a weapon for beheading Gods, but when it struck the Ten Rings, they actually showed no damage. It was clear that the material of the Ten Rings was very sturdy, and they shone with a rune glow, sparking Linn's curiosity.

"If I can crack the Ten Rings and replicate them through Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, wouldn't that mean every Mystic Arts practitioner in Kamar-Taj will become like a dragon?"

"Possessing God-like power and the magic of immortality?"

Linn curled his lips.

Then, the black death sword overflowed with Fire, rising and distorting the void, venting scorching heat waves.

This forced The Mandarin to retreat quickly, his expression turning somewhat solemn.

"It seems Ancient One's choice of you as a successor wasn't just based on a whim."

"Before this, I thought you were Ancient One's boy toy, which is why you became the Sorcerer Supreme."

The Mandarin spoke with contempt.

The term 'boy toy' made Linn frown.

That's not a good word!

"I respect Sorcerer Ancient One very much, and yet, you dare to insult Sorcerer Ancient One?"

"By reason, by logic, and by law."

"I will subject you to the ultimate punishment. Your end has come, foolish Mandarin."

Electric light flashed in Linn's eyes.

Two laser beams, straight as swords, suddenly shot towards The Mandarin!

Boom!

The Mandarin summoned the Ten Rings to form a shield for blocking, but his feet were dragged backward, leaving a deep pit!

He had only been joking and hadn't expected this to enrage Linn!

"Joking?"

"You think because you have a mouth, you can talk nonsense? Your wife, Yingli, would weep for you even in the Underworld!"

Linn's words were meant to strike the heart.

This immediately sent The Mandarin into a rage.

His beloved Yingli died in an accident, but recently, whispers had reached his ears that Yingli was trapped in Ta Lo!

As long as he broke the Dark Gate, he could bring Yingli's soul back. This was also why he collaborated with Khan; Khan promised to conquer Ta Lo!

However, Linn punctured this dream, confirmed Yingli's death, and destroyed The Mandarin's last hope.

How could he not be angry? How could he not be furious?

"Linn, is it?"

"I'm going to tear your mouth apart. You're the one who shows no respect for your elders!"

"Did Sorcerer Ancient One not tell you that I also challenged the Sorcerer Supreme and almost became the Venerable One myself?"

Xu Wenwu formed hand seals with both hands, the Ten Rings gliding around him and emitting a brilliant blue light.

He had lived for a thousand years and had practiced and mastered fantasy creatures and miraculous spells; he wasn't just skilled in martial arts.

He could even draw upon the power of the Ten Rings as a medium for casting spells.

He had even obtained a Heavenly Book with unpredictable incantations. Although it couldn't reverse life and death, it was enough to tear apart a divine soul!

"What?"

"This version of The Mandarin actually knows magic?"

Linn raised an eyebrow.

He could clearly feel the Arcane Arts aura gathering. The Mandarin rubbed his palms together, and golden incantations rose into the air.

In a second, they turned into violent light arrows, booming towards Linn. The Ten Rings rotated around his body, forming an energy sphere that also granted him magic power!

Clang!

Linn swung the black death sword, shattering the light arrows one after another. But the Arcane Artsaura grew stronger, actually drawing in the surrounding matter and pressing it toward Linn!

Rocks piled up, forming a large sphere, bound by incantations.

Linn was sealed inside.

Seeing this scene.

Weather Witch and Soldier Number One couldn't help but show looks of alarm, and Khan seized the opening, his heavenly hammer slashing out a brilliant light!

Crack.

Soldier Number One's armor shattered. He clutched his chest, his face full of frustration.

A trail of blood slid from the corner of Weather Witch's mouth.

Even Old Wong was stunned, momentarily uncertain, thinking Linn had been suppressed.

"The Arcane Arts recorded in the Heavenly Book have long made me equal to Ancient One. I just never had the chance to meet her. And you, this Sorcerer Supreme, are nothing but an appetizer."

"I will level Kamar-Taj!"

"And have my portrait hung on the gates of the Great Capital!"

The Mandarin was arrogant and triumphant, directly exposing his ambition, causing Weather Witch and Soldier Number One to clench their fists tightly.

However, Khan raised his heavenly hammer, holding an absolute advantage.

As long as he killed Weather Witch and Soldier Number One, no one would be able to stop him!

"Heavenly Book?"

"What Heavenly Book? You think you're Dan Sheng?"

Linn's voice came through.

Even if The Mandarin used Arcane Arts, the incantations from the Ruyi Treasure Book only trapped him; trying to suppress and seal him?

That was simply impossible!

Boom!

A surge of boiling fire erupted, and crimson energy wrapped around his body. Linn broke free from the confinement from within, and the broken stones shot out like arrows.

They scratched The Mandarin's cheek.

His eyes widened in disbelief!

"How is this possible?"

"You were actually able to escape the secret techniques of the Heavenly Book?"

The Mandarin's breathing was heavy, as if he had underestimated Linn. His magic power was equal to Ancient One's, but it was definitely not as good as Linn's.

"Hand over the Heavenly Book."

"Perhaps, I can spare your life."

Linn had a playful expression.

Then, his figure flickered and teleported, appearing in front of The Mandarin as the black death swordslashed at the energy sphere!

The Ten Rings took the sudden critical hit, and the soul connection was suddenly severed. The glow on the rings died out, and they fell to the side.

"No!"

The Mandarin lunged for the Ten Rings, but Linn was faster. His fingertips released Levitation Power, pulling the Ten Rings into his palm.

He immediately activated Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, erasing The Mandarin's will. The Ten Rings suddenly lit up with a golden glow, circling around him.

They granted him God-like power and the magic of immortality.

Moreover, Linn's gaze deepened. Through the signal transmitted by the Ten Rings, he also captured an image. He saw a figure standing upon a throne.

This burly figure wore an iron mask on his face, his eyes wise and ruthless.

It was as if he were the Master of the Ten Rings!

[s-rank opportunity mission, find out the origin of the Ten Rings to obtain the Heavenly Book.]

A line of text bubbles popped up.

Linn frowned.

The image he had seen lingered in his mind, and he felt a trace of wariness.

As for the Heavenly Book?

It also made him very curious. It had actually allowed The Mandarin to know Arcane Arts; it seemed the Heavenly Book had a significant background.

He manipulated the Ten Rings, attaching them to his wrists, and looked down at the slumped Mandarin, his lips slightly curling.

"Should I call you The Mandarin, or Xu Wenwu?"

"Where did you find the Ten Rings?"

Linn pointed his sword diagonally.

The tip of the blade was pointed right at Xu Wenwu's nose, making Xu Wenwu break into a cold sweat.

"In a tomb!"

Chapter 92: First Exploration of the Inner Earth Continent!

"Inside a tomb!"

Xu Wenwu's face was full of dejection.

With the Ten Rings taken, he could no longer perform the Arcane Arts, and the Heavenly Book became a mere decoration.

Seeing The Mandarin's defeat, Khan also felt a sense of unease and began to retreat slowly, as if trying to flee the place.

"Where are you going?"

"Did I permit you to move?"

Linn frowned.

Immediately, as he swung the black death sword, a blast of fire slashed through the air, severing Khan's right leg. Khan let out a sharp, explosive scream.

Even the power of the heavenly hammer could not heal the damage!

[You have defeated Khan and obtained the heavenly hammer.]

A line of bubbles popped up.

Weather Witch and Soldier Number One quickly led the team to clean up the mess, capturing the entire Ten Rings Gang and placing Khan on a stretcher.

Furthermore, they were to deal with Xu Wenwu by throwing him into prison to face life imprisonment.

However, Linn stopped them, wanting Xu Wenwu to lead him to the tomb where the Ten Rings were found.

He believed the origin of the tomb would involve a secret.

Perhaps even the Heavenly Book obtained by The Mandarin had come from that tomb.

"Hand over the Heavenly Book, and I will spare your life."

Linn held out his palm.

Then, with a look of resentment, The Mandarin offered up a blue-covered book with ancient seal script on the cover.

The Ruyi Treasure Tome.

This was a prehistoric secret scripture of the Immortals.

The book recorded 108 types of supreme magical techniques.

However, the content was entirely in Oracle Bone Script, which ordinary people could not decipher at all. Even though Xu Wenwu had spent a thousand years deciphering it, he had only learned the basics.

But if one were to master it completely, having magical power comparable to the Sorcerer Supremewould certainly not be a delusion.

Linn himself might have even fallen for it!

[You have identified the origin and obtained the Heavenly Book.]

Linn flipped through it for a few moments.

Although he could not understand the meaning of the words, the graphic symbols of the Oracle Bone Script felt incredibly familiar to him.

"It seems... these are prehistoric runes."

"A true magical language."

Linn's eyes gleamed.

Once this language was deciphered, it would provide significant benefits to his rune mastery.

It might even relate to the mysteries of the totem, enough to allow him to understand everything by analogy and ascend on the spot to become a Rune King!

The same version, Rune King Thor, possessed God-level abilities, directly breaking the infinite loop of Ragnarok, scaring off the God Above Gods seated in the Shadow Hall, and completely ending the rule of the Old Gods!

"God Above Gods."

"Residing in the Void Realm, Utgard..."

"Could they also be in this Universe? When I had an audience with Odin last time, I seemed to sense a prying gaze."

Linn's eyes turned cold.

In the scriptures he had read, there was such a passage recording the beginning and end of Ragnarok, with the God Above Gods manipulating it from behind.

The God Above Gods were all Old Gods who absorbed the energy of Ragnarok, with the entire group feeding on it to prolong their lives and divine power!

However, this was not fair to Asgard!

Odin had long seen through the conspiracy but could not stop it with his strength alone. In comparison, the Fire Lord Surtur was no trouble at all; the God Above Gods behind him were the ultimate puppet masters!

"I hope my premonition does not come true."

Linn opened a Mystic Gate.

He had Xu Wenwu lead the way to the tomb where the Ten Rings were found, bid farewell to Old Wang, and was seen off by the Weather Witch.

"So the Sorcerer Supreme is this busy."

Soldier Number One remarked with emotion.

This was no different from a Prime Minister busy with a myriad of affairs... Ghost Valley.

It was not within the borders of the Great East, nor in any other country; it was located within the Spirit Vein Secret Realm.

It could also be called the Inner Earth Continent.

The Inner Earth Continent.

It also had sun and moon light, distinguishing day and night with its rotation, but it maintained a constant temperature year-round. Due to the spirit veins, the flora and fauna of the Inner Earth Continent were also extraordinary.

In fact, when Linn arrived at this place and stood on a mountain peak looking into the distance, he saw a giant beast foraging, like a mountain range walking between heaven and earth.

"This is the Inner Earth Continent. My Ten Rings and the Heavenly Book both came from Ghost Valley."

"However, I only mastered the Ten Rings and could not understand the Heavenly Book."

Xu Wenwu said, feeling ashamed.

Bringing Linn to Ghost Valley was also for the sake of saving his own life; he could not afford to suffer the wrath of the Sorcerer Supreme.

After all, the Ten Rings had already changed hands!

"The Inner Earth Continent, the Spirit Vein Secret Realm."

"To restore the spirit vein nodes, I must find the source of the spirit veins. This is my first time coming to the inner earth."

"What other secrets have you not finished telling?"

Linn's eyes were wise.

He felt that Xu Wenwu was hiding something.

"None. As long as you enter Ghost Valley, you will get what you want."

Xu Wenwu hurriedly lowered his head, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He had hidden one secret: deep within Ghost Valley, a member of the Dragon Race lay sleeping!

He called it the Extraordinary Dragon!

As soon as Linn stepped into Ghost Valley, the Extraordinary Dragon would wake up and give the intruder a painful lesson.

Because... Dragon eggs were buried in Ghost Valley.

The Extraordinary Dragon was the Guardian.

"If you are lying, you will pay with your life."

Linn walked into Ghost Valley.

Immediately, he summoned several ninja soldiers to surround Xu Wenwu, causing Xu Wenwu's expression to collapse. He hadn't expected this move.

The ninja soldiers gripped their shuriken and pressed them against Xu Wenwu's throat.

Then, a deafening dragon roar was heard coming from Ghost Valley, and Xu Wenwu was instantly plunged into despair!

The ground rumbled and shook.

A dragon-shaped creature hundreds of feet tall suddenly opened its eyes. Its vertical pupils were as thin as steel wires, flashing with malice and ferocity.

"Finish him."

Linn's expression was calm.

He could not tolerate deception!

Puchi!

The shuriken slashed across his throat. Xu Wenwu clutched the wound, gasping a few times before falling directly into a pool of blood.

He paid the price for his deception!

Linn didn't care about such a Little Kalamity at all; if he was dead, he was dead.

However, the creature in Ghost Valley was clearly the Extraordinary Dragon. The Extraordinary Dragonstood up, wearing a loincloth around its waist like a Titan beast, breathing fire from its mouth, with a spaceship stranded behind it.

This spaceship was as large as a celestial body, making Linn's eyes gleam.

Obviously, the Extraordinary Dragon had arrived at the Inner Earth Continent by taking this spaceship.

"Leave..."

The Extraordinary Dragon let out a roar!

The sound waves spread out in all directions, and the deafening sonic boom made Linn's eardrums ache and swell.

But he did not compromise. His Levitation Power stirred up an energy vortex, and the air curtain twisted.

"I will tame you, magical beast!"

Linn curled his lips.

Immediately, he put away the black death sword and conjured two light wheels with his hands, covered in mystic runes, and swung them at the Extraordinary Dragon from a distance.

A string of sparks exploded out.

It didn't cause even the slightest bit of damage.

Linn marveled inwardly. The texture of the Extraordinary Dragon's scales could be used for crafting artifacts. If he tamed the Extraordinary Dragon as a pet, he wouldn't lack crafting materials.

"I am the Sorcerer Supreme. If you are wise, surrender obediently. Otherwise, I will beat you until you do!"

Linn declared solemnly.

However, the Extraordinary Dragon's face showed a ferocious look, and a sneer flashed in its eyes.

"You foolish mortal, you are worthy of commanding the Dragon Race?"

"I will swallow you alive!"

The Extraordinary Dragon let out a beastly roar, emitting a dragon pressure, with runes swirling around its body. This represented the power of the Word Spirit.

Dragon Language Magic!

Only the Dragon Race could master this; it was a unique type of incantation, enough to shake the laws of nature.

The Extraordinary Dragon flapped its fleshy wings, instantly whipping up a rolling gale. The air curtain tore and twisted, turning into a torrent of energy that surged toward Linn!

"In the name of The Eternal Vishanti, the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak..."

"Bind!"

Linn chanted softly.

Deep red chains formed from mystic arts appeared out of thin air, as solid as oil drums, suddenly coiling around the Extraordinary Dragon and fixing it firmly in place!

Then, the Ten Rings flew out of his hand, growing larger mid-air, and looped around the Extraordinary Dragon's neck, wrists, and ankles.

With just a thought, he could make the Extraordinary Dragon wish it were dead, as if it were wearing a tightening hoop!

Chapter 93: Dragon Language Magic!

The Extraordinary Dragon let out a sharp, piercing shriek as the Ten Rings tightened around its flesh, its face full of pain and struggle.

It opened its mouth and poured out a blast of scalding hot breath.

The plants in Ghost Valley were incinerated into charcoal, but no matter how it rolled and thrashed its tail, it couldn't break free from the restraint of the Ten Rings. Despite exerting all its strength, it finally faced reality!

"I am willing to honor you as Master..."

"But I cannot leave Ghost Valley; I must protect my clansmen."

The Extraordinary Dragon's voice was pleading.

It decided to become Linn's pet; however, before the dragon eggs hatched, it had to guard Ghost Valley.

Because the Titans and indigenous people of the Inner Earth continent all craved the dragon eggs; just as dragon bone fossils possessed magic, dragon eggs also held mysterious power.

By refining dragon eggs through a ritual, one could comprehend Dragon Language Magic and Master a form of Dragon Power!

"There are such benefits?"

"Extraordinary Dragon."

"Where did this set of Ten Rings come from?"

Linn narrowed his eyes.

He believed the Ten Rings were connected to a secret, possibly related to the Multiverse!

"This is a relic of Kang."

"Kang the Conqueror!"

The Extraordinary Dragon trembled; just mentioning the name made its heart shudder.

Because the previous Master of the dragon race was Kang the Conqueror!

It wasn't until Kang the Conqueror fell that the dragon race gained their freedom, took a spaceship to Earth, and accidentally crashed in a secret realm.

"Kang the Conqueror?"

Linn's gaze was deep.

He naturally knew this villain, the temporal overlord from the 30th century; the founder of the Time Variance Authority was a variant of Kang the Conqueror.

However, he was known as The Remnant.

In the Universe where he resided, there was a sacred timeline; to prevent other variants from subverting The Remnant's rule, the TVA would prune any temporal branches that appeared.

Sending them to the time graveyard at the end of the Void.

Until Loki ascended to godhood, holding the sacred timeline in his hands and becoming a human loom, completely liberating the Multiverse.

The Council of Kangs also appeared in the Multiverse.

However, Linn couldn't be certain if the Council of Kangs had appeared yet, as he had never visited the TVA; entering the TVA required a TemPad.

Not even a sling ring could do it.

"It seems there's also a group of Mutants at the end of the Void, led by Professor X's sister, Cassandra Nova; she killed the Sorcerer Supreme and possesses an infinity ring."

Linn was lost in thought.

The infinity ring.

Embedded with the Time Stone and the Reality Stone!

This also granted the sling ring the ability to cross the Multiverse, and he too could cross the Multiversebecause he possessed the six Infinity Stones.

The Infinity Stones.

They work in any Universe, but are restricted in the TVA.

However, he didn't act immediately because he sensed a heavenly hammer landing on the Inner Earth continent!

[You have tamed the Extraordinary Dragon and obtained Dragon Language Magic.]

[a-rank opportunity mission: Defeat the Heavenly Hammer Emissary, the Black Devil, to obtain the heavenly hammer.]

A text bubble popped up.

A cold glint flashed in Linn's eyes.

"The Black Devil? Diabolo?"

"This is the true culprit who murdered Master Grantham."

Linn's gaze was sharp.

Immediately, numerous symbols of knowledge appeared in his mind—a type of simple, unadorned incantation seal similar to oracle bone script.

[[Dragon Language Magic] (Beginner): The original language of the Universe, the ancestor of all spells; you understand the Voice of All Things.]

Dragon Language Magic!

It is also known as Word Spirit Magic.

In other words, whoever Masters Dragon Language Magic can make their words reality, shaking matter with their voice and causing changes in the laws of nature.

"Understand the Voice of All Things?"

"So... everything in the Universe can speak? It's just that only the dragon race can understand?"

"Because the dragon race can communicate with everything, does that turn their voices into Word Spirits?"

Linn's pupils constricted.

Then, a series of whispers reached his ears. Listening closely to track them, it turned out to be ants expressing their complaints about the Extraordinary Dragon's irritation.

The hot breath had destroyed Ghost Valley.

He could even hear the plants gossiping about the Extraordinary Dragon behind its back, and even commenting that Linn should not have stepped into Ghost Valley.

"The Voice of All Things?"

"It truly is stunning. If I can Master Dragon Language Magic, perhaps I can even converse with the talismans, making them more cooperative!"

Linn broke into a smile.

However, Beginner Dragon Language Magic clearly had limited effects.

To strengthen Dragon Language Magic, one would also need an astronomical amount of opportunitypoints, starting at 50,000.

"Extraordinary Dragon."

"I will come back for you. Right now, I need to deal with other troubles. If anyone comes looking for you, just say you're under the protection of the Sorcerer Supreme!"

Linn flicked his fingers.

The Ten Rings stirred up an energy vortex and returned to his wrists, granting the Extraordinary Dragon its freedom.

"The Sorcerer Supreme?"

"So you are the Sorcerer Supreme! Then it's no wonder I lost!"

The Extraordinary Dragon's eyes rolled.

The Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj had also visited Ghost Valley and reached an agreement with it to stay out of each other's way.

Now that it was officially part of the team, even if the Titans and indigenous people coveted the dragon eggs it guarded, they would have to weigh the consequences.

After all, the Sorcerer Supreme was transcendent, with vast magical power comparable to a god.

Submitting to the Sorcerer Supreme didn't feel like a humiliation; rather, it felt like an honor.

A Mystic Gate slowly opened.

Linn stepped through the gate.

He saw the ruins of a tall tower smashed to pieces by the heavenly hammer; in the debris was a figure dressed as an alchemist.

"Hmm?"

"You are the Sorcerer Supreme? Is the Venerable Ancient One no longer in charge? That works out perfectly for me. With this heavenly hammer, I've not only broken the seal but will also wipe you out!"

"I shall be the Sorcerer Supreme!"

The Black Devil Diabolo was born in medieval Europe; to Master Alchemy and create the Philosopher's Stone, he pawned his soul to Mephisto!

However, Master Grantham sacrificed himself to seal him in this tower, but the heavenly hammer had actually destroyed it.

Releasing the Black Devil in the process.

"Even without wearing the eye of agamotto, you can recognize me as the Sorcerer Supreme?"

Linn narrowed his eyes.

Sensing with only his spiritual intuition, he could tell that this Black Devil's magical power was not inferior to that of the Chaos Witch.

Furthermore, the divine power granted by the heavenly hammer made the Black Devil invincible, with energy tides swirling around his body, causing the surrounding space to collapse.

"You have mastered the Supreme Arcane Arts; the answer is obvious."

"What is your name?"

"I remember a Master of the Mystic Arts, Grantham, I think? He sealed me in this godforsaken place, but he certainly didn't expect that I would actually find a blessing in disguise!"

The Black Devil gave a sinister smile.

The tower that imprisoned him had a significant history as well, having been built by Morgan Le Fay.

Within a hidden compartment in the secret room lay alchemical texts!

With the alchemical texts, his cultivation had increased rather than decreased; even without the appearance of the heavenly hammer, he could have broken the seal himself!

"Alchemy?"

"What's the difference between that and Artifact Refining?"

Linn stepped forward, a brilliant light overflowing from his fingertips. Fire energy transformed into swirling flame clouds, and the Ten Rings let out a roar.

It is said that Alchemy was founded by Merlin, capable of turning the mundane into the miraculous, reversing the effects of the power of laws, and ignoring the Law of Equivalent Exchange.

Especially the Philosopher's Stone!

This is a god-level substance with infinite magical power.

According to Linn's conjecture, it should be on the same level as the Infinity Stones, only operating within the field of magic.

"Alchemy is matter; artifacts are tools."

"Tools are merely carriers of matter. You don't even understand that? It seems Ancient One's level of education is embarrassingly poor."

The Black Devil spoke without reservation.

Perhaps because he had been sealed for five hundred years with no one to talk to, he had become quite talkative.

But to Linn, this was a sudden realization.

"Alchemy is matter; artifacts are tools?"

"You truly are worthy of being called a Master Alchemist."

Linn's eyes showed admiration.

In Artifact Refining, an essential and key step is enchantment.

Alchemy is the programming of molecules, atoms, everything in the Universe, and natural elements.

Chapter 94 Elemental Programming!

Alchemy!

That's elemental programming.

The Way of Artifact Refining includes alchemy.

Because Linn had inherited the ancestral legacy, his understanding and mastery of The Way of Artifact Refining had reached a level where he could see the minute details.

This excited him—if he could subjugate Black Devil and impart Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements to him, he could free himself and let Black Devil handle the refining!

'What's with that look?'

'Sorry, I'm not into men. After I beat you, I'll play with plenty of women!'

'Seems the Scarlet Witch has appeared?'

'I will conquer the Scarlet Witch!'

Black Devil raised his arms and shouted; even in the inner earth continent he could sense Chaos Magic.

Because to create the Philosopher's Stone, nothing was more indispensable than Chaos Magic!

Chaos Magic can turn the intangible into the tangible.

Yet in his medieval era no trace of the Scarlet Witch had been found.

'You want to conquer the Scarlet Witch?'

'I'm afraid you don't know—she's my woman, Diabolo.'

Linn narrowed his eyes.

Scorching Fire aura rose from his skin; he couldn't tolerate Black Devil coveting Scarlet Witch Wanda, not even in thought!

'Sorcerer Supreme and Scarlet Witch? What kind of combo is that?'

'Don't you know the Scarlet Witch is fated to destroy the World?'

'The duty of every Sorcerer Supreme is to stop the Scarlet Witch!'

'With or without the darkhold, the Scarlet Witch will lose control!'

Black Devil exclaimed.

He hadn't expected this Sorcerer Supreme to actually know the Scarlet Witch!

Yet Chaos Magic's power was unfathomable, originating from the first demon in history, Pluto Chthon.

Even Chthon hadn't fully mastered Chaos Magic.

Besides, the Scarlet Witch was usually just a mortal body.

'Lose control?'

Linn frowned.

A sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

[SS-Rank Opportunity Mission: break the Westview Illusion to receive an item blind box.]

A line of text bubbled up.

Linn's gaze turned subtle.

Westview Illusion?

Wasn't that after the Endgame—how had it become an opportunity mission?

He still remembered how, mentally broken, Wanda had secluded herself in Westview, weaving a cage of Chaos Magic that turned a real community into a sitcom.

But he had no time to ponder, because Black Devil swung the heavenly hammer, a surging tide of magic boiling as he struck!

Boom!

A blazing white light slashed toward Linn.

The air warped and cracked.

A deafening roar exploded.

Black Devil's face was ecstatic—if he defeated the Sorcerer Supreme, he would become Sorcerer Supreme and rule Kamar-Taj in the future!

Then he'd take the Scarlet Witch into his harem.

He could surely redeem his soul, become overlord of Midgard, true king of the central realm!

'King of the central realm?'

'Is being king really that attractive?'

'With great power comes great responsibility.'

'You don't even understand that?'

Linn sneered.

Since becoming Sorcerer Supreme he'd had almost no personal time, running around for World peace with no chance to dual-cultivate with Wanda!

He'd even considered abdicating the title to Doctor Strange, leaving what he could ignore alone.

'Responsibility?'

'My responsibility is to craft the Philosopher's Stone!'

'Once I possess the Philosopher's Stone I can overturn all laws and make the World run by my will; you'll forget everything and become my loyal hound and slave!'

Black Devil's face twisted.

Philosopher's Stone—

also called the heart of magic!

It couldn't be compared to the Infinity Stones; it was on the same level as the heart of the universe!

'heart of magic?'

'How does one refine the Philosopher's Stone?'

Linn's eyes widened in shock.

He had underestimated the Philosopher's Stone—it was the heart of magic, equal to the heart of the universe?

'Even if I told you, you couldn't refine it.'

'Because… the recipe needs six Infinity Stones plus the norn holy stone—impossible for you to obtain.'

Black Devil sneered.

Only he knew the formula.

And he had resolved to gather the Infinity Stones and the norn holy stone, forging them into a complete heart of magic!

'Six Infinity Stones? You mean these?'

Linn waved his hand.

He summoned the Infinity Gauntlet, its back sockets filled, six Infinity Stones resonating.

Time, Space, Mind, Reality, soul, Power!

Gathering them had cost him a price.

He could easily shake the laws of the Universe and reboot all humanity!

'How is this possible?'

'You actually have six Infinity Stones? The norn holy stone… is on Morgan Le Fay—beat you, find her, and I can forge the heart of magic!'

Black Devil's eyes blazed.

He lost all reason, craving the heart of magic, to become The Creator of magic and Master every spell in the World!

Yet Linn's lips curled, a trace of mockery in his eyes—couldn't he see the situation?

'I have six Infinity Stones, you only have a heavenly hammer, and you think you can win?'

Linn snorted.

Then, pressing thumb to middle finger, he snapped. Radiant rainbow light covered him, bringing a burst of pain that made him frown.

The backlash from six Infinity Stones had even crippled Hulk.

Though he'd lit fifteen talismans, the horse and dog talismans combined equaled immortality,

he still wasn't fully unscathed!

Snap!

With a snap of his fingers,

Black Devil trembled in place, face frozen, his soul churning like towering waves, torn and instantly remolded.

The heavenly hammer slipped from his grasp, clanging to the ground; he stood dumbstruck, branded in soul, kneeling to Linn!

'Master.'

Black Devil Diabolo pressed fist to heart.

Surrendered in one second!

It was Linn's first time using the snap, and he was very satisfied with its effect.

Since the snap targeted an individual instead of the cosmos, the backlash was negligible—he realized the rebound depended on his intent.

'If I erased half the lives in the Universe, the backlash would be on that scale—maybe I'd face divine retribution.'

Linn pondered.

Then threads dropped from his fingertips, drawing the heavenly hammer through the air, Fire boiling in his palm!

In a blink he reforged the heavenly hammer.

[You have defeated Black Devil and obtained the heavenly hammer.]

A bubble popped up.

Linn stowed the Infinity Gauntlet and the heavenly hammer, heading toward the tower.

This tower had been built by Morgan Le Fay.

Clearly she had visited the inner earth continent and surveyed it.

Possibly the Evil Arrogance Society's stronghold was here!

The Evil Arrogance Society worshiped an ancient god named Prehistoric Giant.

Linn guessed Morgan Le Fay had come to find Prehistoric Giant and defeat her teacher!

'Diabolo.'

'Hand over the alchemical tome you obtained.'

'Also, I need your talent to develop Rune Technology for me.'

Linn commanded.

He had completely rewritten Diabolo's cognitive mind.

Now Diabolo was little more than a puppet, obeying only Linn's will.

'As you command, my Master.'

Diabolo bowed respectfully.

From the tower he produced a tome written on immortal parchment, its surface covered in symbols.

Once Linn gained Dragon Language Magic he could actually read it!

'Alchemy… truly vast—it touches elemental matter and the order of laws; Chaos Magic is the medium!'

Linn's eyes sparkled.

Chaos Magic—

using it for alchemy is cheating!

Chapter 95 – Dragged into the Westview Illusion!

Witch Tower.

Linn studied the alchemical tome and discovered that Morgan Le Fay's mastery of alchemy was breathtaking.

He read an entry on the norn holy stone.

It was a physical rune!

Forged through alchemy, it could merge the Infinity Stones into a single heart of magic.

heart of magic.

Just as Black Devil had said, it could distort the order of magic itself; it was the source of all spells. Whoever controlled the heart of magic controlled magic itself.

Looks like… after I wake Wanda, I'll have to find Morgan Le Fay.

To stop Evil Arrogance Society from summoning the Old Gods into reality.

Linn nodded to himself.

He immediately ordered Diabolo to use Extraordinary Dragon's scales to craft a combat doll.

Extraordinary Dragon lived in Ghost Valley and shed scales from time to time. Those scales were tough and carried magical properties; a doll forged from them would surpass any grandmaster's work!

As you command.

Diabolo's tone was devout.

In his mind, Linn was his Master, unshakable.

Only another snap of the fingers could restore his reason—but who would snap for him?

Only Linn possessed the Infinity Gauntlet.

He opened a Mystic Gate.

Linn arrived in New Jersey and saw a residential community completely enclosed by a hexagonal crimson dome.

Fobole was dispersing onlookers.

Even Natasha was in the cordon. Seeing Linn appear out of thin air, she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and approached, her expression grave.

Venerable Linn, what's happening?

We heard Wanda and Pietro bought a house here, but soon after, this phenomenon appeared.

Even our instruments can't see inside.

Worry flickered in Natasha's eyes.

With Alexander Pierce arrested, the HYDRA inside S.H.I.E.L.D. had been wiped out under President Matthew Ellis's pardon.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was still S.H.I.E.L.D.!

But the current Director, Coulson, hadn't shown up at Westview.

Wanda and Pietro bought property in Westview Community? Don't tell me Tony gave them a house to make up for the twins?

Linn's expression turned odd.

You guessed right. Tony's always felt guilty about Wanda's past, so he gave her this place as compensation.

But even Tony didn't expect a magical illusion to appear.

In fact, Captain America, Hawkeye, Banner, Tony, and Thor are all inside the illusion.

Natasha sighed.

To celebrate Wanda's move, the Avengers threw a party, but the sudden illusion wiped out the whole team!

Everyone's in there?

Then why weren't you?

Linn asked, puzzled.

My sister Yelena ambushed me on the way, which made me half an hour late.

A shadow crossed Natasha's eyes.

The Yelena she'd met had clearly lost her mind, reminding her of HYDRA's Neural Blueprint project back in the nineties.

Red Guardian had broken into a HYDRA academy and stolen a neural blueprint for General Dreykov, head of the Red Room.

Chances were… every Black Widow except her had been compromised.

But that raised another question: she'd blown up Dreykov in 2008.

Maybe Dreykov never died.

Linn revealed the truth.

The Red Room organization.

Relocated from the ground to the sky, General Dreykov ruled from an aerial fortress, planting Black Widows in every agency, ready for a coup at any moment.

Yet the Westview Illusion loomed before them, the Avengers trapped inside, and worry lined Linn's face.

sling rings couldn't enter the illusion.

Dreykov's still alive?

A flicker of dread shone in Natasha's eyes.

The magical barrier rippled outward, and a scarlet wave swallowed the surrounding Fobole agents like a tide.

At the sight of it,

Natasha instinctively fled, but Linn caught her wrist. Arcane glyphs flared over him, golden light swirling around his body.

In the next instant, they stepped into the Westview Illusion!

Chaos Magic turned nothing into something: Fobole became circus clowns, accepting their new roles. Even Linn and Natasha changed—he in a tuxedo, she in a wedding gown.

Like newly-weds, with salutes firing.

Celebrating the union of husband and wife.

In God's sight, whether poor or sick, may you face life together.

The priest-like Fobole finished the vows and walked away.

But Natasha's gaze turned strange.

What's going on?

Wanda's spell can rewrite perception? He's a Fobole agent—how'd he become a priest?

Looking at her wedding dress, Natasha gave a wry smile, yet their clasped hands proved this wasn't mere illusion.

Because of Chaos Magic.

Chaos Magic can rewrite reality.

Who triggered Wanda so badly that she created the Westview Illusion? Even the townsfolk and the Avengers are trapped, blind to their real selves.

Linn glanced around.

He saw Fobole agents and residents playing different parts.

He even spotted Tony, now a toy dealer hawking handmade playthings on the street.

As Linn and Natasha approached, Tony beamed as if they were strangers, introducing his wares.

Newly-weds, buy a toy for the road?

I designed these plush soldiers—your kids will love them!

Tony wore work overalls and his neat mustache. On his stall, plush toys modeled after his iron man armor were labeled plush soldiers.

Even with reality rewritten, he hadn't forgotten his armor.

Venerable Linn, can we wake him?

Worry filled Natasha's eyes.

She even saw Thor turned construction worker, swinging mjolnir on the job.

Captain America led a fire brigade, Falcon as his deputy, while Winter Soldier Bucky drove the fire truck.

And Barton… directing traffic?

Looks like Pietro's the mayor?

Natasha frowned.

Westview Illusion.

It felt like an independent World; once inside, your mind was rewritten and you played the assigned part!

The entire Avengers roster was immersed, their identities erased, their pasts forgotten.

It felt like… transmigration.

Right?

Linn hit the nail on the head. When he'd first arrived in the Marvel Universe in Kathmandu, the sensation had been the same.

Especially after meeting the Ancient One, he'd barely believed his luck—he'd crossed over with the twelve talismans!

Now, entering Westview Illusion, the same out-of-time feeling washed over him.

Luckily, he wielded Chaos Magic and could barely resist the memory rewrite; he and Natasha kept their minds, though they couldn't awaken anyone else.

Because the Westview Illusion had become an independent plane.

Everything ran on its own, gradually slipping from Wanda's control—simply put, it had developed self-awareness!

What do you mean?

The Westview Illusion became sentient?

Natasha half-understood.

Even with the rat's divine power, she couldn't fully grasp magic.

More precisely, someone guided Wanda into creating the Westview Illusion and now controls it, weaving everything.

He may even intend for the illusion to swallow the globe; once illusion blankets reality, history itself will be rewritten.

Lightning flashed in Linn's eyes.

He could almost guess who was behind the scenes!

Who?

Natasha arched a brow.

Nightmare.

Lord of the Dream Dimension—he's coveted Chaos Magic. I'd struck a pact with the Demon Lord: neither of us would set foot on Earth.

Yet he's broken that oath and dares to stir trouble right under my nose!

Linn clenched his fist.

But he didn't act at once; he still didn't know where Nightmare was hiding.

Chapter 96 – Chaos Rewrites Reality!

The Westview Illusion.

It grew every second, spreading outward from the Westview Community, swallowing the city in the blink of an eye.

In one second, Chaos Magic rewrote reality!

It bestowed new identities and roles on every resident, erasing their memories—beggars became tycoons, celebrities became vagrants.

Linn and Natasha returned to their temporary home, a brand-new house.

They lived as husband and wife, yet worry flickered in their eyes. At this rate, the entire U.S. would fall, devoured by the Westview Illusion.

All perception would be rewritten!

Even the timeline would reverse, opening a fresh page that split history into old and new.

"Linn, you really have no way?"

"You still can't sense Wanda?"

Natasha's beautiful eyes blinked.

She desperately hoped for a "no."

Yet Linn shook his head.

"The Westview Illusion is growing; I smell Nightmare but can't pin him down. My scans show Wanda's in no danger—she should be asleep."

Linn's face was grave.

Though he kept his powers and could cast inside the illusion, he couldn't reverse everything and set the World right.

He was certain Nightmare was inside, steering Wanda through her dreams.

Only by waking her could the illusion break—but where was she?

"Two hours have passed."

"We've confirmed the Avengers' identities; they all live nearby."

"Linn, please—wake their memories. Only together can we find a way."

Natasha's gaze softened; her delicate hand clasped his arm. If she'd lost her memory, she could live happily, yet awareness remained.

Everything in the Westview Illusion was fake!

Once Chaos Magic covered the globe, she and Linn would become the anomalies.

"Let's gather the Avengers for a party."

"I'll try to restore their memories."

Crimson energy danced at Linn's fingertips—he wielded Chaos Magic.

And he possessed all six Infinity Stones!

But he couldn't snap his fingers; forcing the World back would backlash against Wanda—maybe even kill her. That price was unbearable; another way had to be found.

"Great idea."

Natasha smiled sweetly.

She'd fallen for him during the Battle of New York.

Women always admire strength—and Linn had looks and height, 6'1" of sharp, powerful lines.

It fed her fantasy: playing house with him in Westview might not be doom.

Even the Rat's divine power, turning stillness to motion, had awakened hidden genes, drawing energy from the air to regenerate her organs and restore her fertility.

While inviting neighbors she secretly planned: perhaps tonight she could ask Linn to plant a child—one that would be anything but ordinary.

"Heard there's a party—count me in!"

Thor, hard-hat and tool-belt, strolled in with his hammer and traded names with Natasha.

Next came Hawkeye Clint, Mayor Pietro, Fire-Captain Steve—everyone arrived.

Natasha laid out a feast; Red Room training had left her skilled at everything, and her specialties filled the table.

"Smells amazing—reminds me of Mom!"

Tony Stark sniffed, fork already flying, his goodwill toward the newly-weds skyrocketing.

"Why settle in Westview?"

Rogers asked between bites, making small talk.

In his mind he'd always lived here, generations rooted in the Westview Community; rewritten cognition had erased his past life.

"Tony, Thor, Barton, Sam… none of you remember the Battle of New York or the Age of Ultron?"

Natasha's tone was serious, hoping shared memories would jolt them.

"Of course we remember—awesome movies! I love Homelander—steel body, flight, laser eyes, totally epic!"

Tony beamed.

Linn's eyes narrowed.

"Homelander? Why is Homelander in the Westview Illusion?"

He surfed the net and found Vought International existed here; The Seven were the top hero team.

He even spotted three never-before-seen cities across the ocean: North Star, Giant Gorge, Skyriver.

"Super-God Universe merged into Westview? But the illusion hasn't covered the planet—does that foreshadow global coverage, with Nightmare pulling the strings?"

"How could Nightmare know about the Super-God Universe and The Seven?"

Linn brooded: the spread might be unstoppable; Chaos Magic would give everything new identities inside the illusion.

He had fallen into an alternate Earth, a warped reality scripted by Nightmare.

Here Tony was a toy merchant, Captain America a fire-fighter, Quicksilver the mayor, Barton a traffic cop—no S.H.I.E.L.D., no Kamar-Taj, no Sanctums, no magic barriers.

"A version update? Nightmare's plan: weave an illusion over reality via Chaos Magic?"

He pondered, while Natasha, unable to awaken them, felt absurd—were her and Linn's memories the false ones?

Were the Battle of New York and Age of Ultron just Vought blockbusters?

"Don't let it get to you," Linn murmured.

Yet Chaos Magic was everywhere; Wanda, a Mutant Omega, could bend probability—one word from a parallel Wanda had erased every super-power on Earth.

Another Wanda had inverted hero and villain, birthing an age where villains were heroes and heroes were hunted.

With Nightmare guiding her, Wanda was effectively The Creator; even Linn's Chaos Magic couldn't match her scale.

"Linn, is there really nothing?"

Natasha looked heartbroken.

After the guests left she stood in apron and housewear, wine-red curls brushing her shoulders, lips gleaming—irresistible.

The failure shook even her own memories; the power of repeated suggestion made her doubt the Red Room, S.H.I.E.L.D.—maybe they were just stories from her bestselling fantasy novels.

Linn? A stage magician; Kamar-Taj, a common temple.

She flipped her manuscript: pages about Red Room and Black Widow—feeding her doubt.

Chapter 97 – Recharging Natasha!

Linn stood at the window, gazing into the distance.

A gleam flashed in his eyes.

An octagonal, dark stone talisman appeared within his pupils.

He saw the edge of the Westview Illusion; Chaos Magic was expanding further, and the scarlet energy barrier had nearly blanketed the entire U.S.

At once, Linn's soul left his body and brushed the dome of the barrier. The Westview Illusion, now acting on its own, had gained a spark of self-awareness; it sensed his anomaly and suppressed him with the power of its laws.

His mind was invaded—Chaos Magic rewriting his cognition, trying to immerse him in his assigned role and completely erase the memories of his past life.

Then his sling ring flared with flowing light.

chaos rune ripples spread.

In an instant.

The pressure on him vanished; the Westview Illusion silently accepted his presence. Even without rewritten cognition, it would no longer react.

"chaos runes..."

"They actually serve as ID cards? Recognized by the Westview Illusion itself?"

Linn's gaze was sharp and knowing.

His soul returned to his body. He watched Natasha clacking away at the typewriter, wholly absorbed in her role, crafting a fantasy tale.

A trace of melancholy showed in his eyes, yet he did not grant her a chaos rune—for chaos runes came from Pluto Chthon!

They carried innate corruption.

He himself could resist that taint only thanks to the horse talisman's Power of Restoration, which purged and cleansed every negative effect.

But Natasha had no horse talisman; if she obtained a chaos rune, she would likely lose control and degenerate into a savage demon.

To break the Westview Illusion, Wanda had to be awakened. How to wake her, Linn still had no idea, because the illusion was growing; left unchecked, it would eventually cover the whole world.

It would completely overwrite the historical program and birth a Westview Universe.

Of course, civilizations beyond Earth would be unaffected for now—but who could guarantee the illusion wouldn't sweep across the Nine Realms and overturn the sea of stars?

"Wanda, Wanda, where are you?"

"Give me a sign."

Linn narrowed his eyes.

He switched on the television; an advertisement was playing. His brows knitted as he keenly realized the model in the ad was Wanda!

"Wanda's inside the show?"

"Wait—more precisely, inside the TV station?"

Linn's pupils contracted.

It was a local broadcast called "Evening Westview."

Westview Satellite.

Right on the other side of the town.

"Darling, it's time we started trying for a baby, don't you think? I want two children—adorable twins, a boy and a girl."

Natasha stretched languidly, her graceful curves prominent, wrapped her arms around Linn from behind and breathed warmly into his ear.

Linn turned; their eyes met, sparks flying. They kissed instinctively and tumbled together onto the bed.

Clothes, stockings, and undergarments lay strewn across the floor, draped over the sofa.

Newlyweds in the bridal chamber.

The pleasure was immense, almost drowning Linn, yet he kept a shred of sanity—because this was "the plot"!

The moment he accepted the story from the bottom of his heart, even with a chaos rune, he would lose every memory.

Sinking into the Westview Illusion, yet the real, silky touch still shook his nerves, nearly making him lose himself.

Until Natasha lay spent in his arms, fingertips tracing circles on his chest.

"Darling, I feel like my dream is going to come true."

Natasha's face was sweet and girlish, cheeks flushed.

Yet Linn's gaze stayed calm. He summoned ninja soldiers; they melted into shifting shadows and sped toward Westview Satellite—he needed to learn the truth!

And to ensure Wanda's safety.

"He still hasn't fallen for it?"

A murmur echoed.

Westview Satellite.

Broadcast building.

A plain, middle-aged man stared at the screen, eyes cold.

Around his neck hung a heavenly hammer-shaped ornament, glowing steadily. He raised the heavenly hammer; though he did not become a Heavenly Hammer Emissary, he wielded its power.

He had successfully hypnotized the Scarlet Witch!

And was using her to weave the Westview Illusion that devoured reality.

"Nightmare."

"The Westview Illusion you've spun is quite something. When will it sweep the Nine Realms and plunge Asgard into dreams as well?"

Hela sat nearby, her icy, bewitching face amused.

The heavenly hammer.

It inherently carried the power of fear!

She hadn't expected Nightmare to lift the hammer and hypnotize the Scarlet Witch.

Within the illusion, she held a lofty identity: chairwoman of Vought International, with The Sevenobeying her. Even Nightmare couldn't explain how The Seven had appeared.

"Hela, I wove the Westview Illusion, but something's gone wrong—it has awakened its own awareness and is filling in details by itself!"

"Many settings have nothing to do with me, and I can't intervene."

Nightmare spread his hands.

Though he had promised Linn not to set foot in Midgard, treachery is a Demon Lord's nature!

He itched to kill Linn.

"Time to unleash disaster, Nightmare. His Majesty Kur needs fear."

"And the last heavenly hammer—whom do you plan to give it to?"

Hela's beautiful eyes turned.

She stared at the monitors; through Westview Satellite's feed she could watch every corner, paying special attention to the Avengers.

If the Avengers woke, trouble would start again.

Fortunately, the Chaos Magic barrier kept those inside from leaving and those outside from entering.

Unless Wanda lifted the spell, the Westview Illusion would blanket reality and create an entirely new Universe!

In that Universe, there would be no X-Men or Avengers, no Mystic Arts practitioners or runes—only The Seven and Xiongbing Company.

And she could command The Seven; Xiongbing Company had simply wandered into the illusion.

"I'll drop the heavenly hammer into Hells Kitchen."

"A man named Kingpin still has his old memories—he's one of us!"

Nightmare grinned viciously.

With a gesture, the last heavenly hammer flashed away and appeared in Hells Kitchen atop the Fisk Commerce Building.

Immaculate in a white suit, the gentlemanly beast leaned on his cane, looking at the familiar-yet-strange surroundings in bewilderment.

"This is Hells Kitchen?"

"Why does everything feel so familiar yet so alien?"

Wilson Fisk.

Alias: Kingpin!

The uncrowned king of Hells Kitchen, founder of a crime syndicate controlling forty percent of U.S. gray-market business—yet with a blink, his identity had changed!

He was now the mayor of New York.

"Kingpin, lift this hammer and you'll learn the truth. You're one of the lucky few—you'll receive a great gift."

A whisper sounded by his ear.

Following the voice, Kingpin saw the shade of the commerce building where stood a heavenly hammer, its shaft covered in runes, radiant and splendid.

He raised it instinctively, and a surge of mighty divine power flooded into him!

"So… this is an illusion? Chaos Magic can rewrite reality?"

"And I can do whatever I please within it?"

Excitement shone in Kingpin's eyes.

The Superheroes he once feared had all fallen to Earth, while he kept his memories and now wielded this heavenly hammer!

His ambition swelled—why settle for mayor when he could be president!

"But I need you to go to the Westview Community and kill a man named Linn."

Nightmare's whisper came again.

"You want me to do it personally?"

"I'm the mayor of New York; Fobole can handle it."

Kingpin sneered and dialed a number.

Moments later, Fobole drove to the Westview Community and, on charges of suspected tax evasion, knocked on the door of Linn and Natasha's home.

In the U.S., only two things are unavoidable.

One: death. Two: taxes!

"What? I owe ten million dollars in royalties?"

Looking at the file, Natasha couldn't help but scream.

Chapter 98: Demon God Chiyou!

Ten Million in Royalties!

Natasha's head spun; Linn supported her back, pulling her directly into his embrace.

"This is an order from Mayor Kingpin?"

"A mayor personally issuing a fine?"

Linn curled his lips.

He was almost certain that Kingpin had retained his previous memories. Not only had he received a fine, but even the Avengers were targeted, with Fobole showing up at their doors.

Evidently, Kingpin wanted to deal with the Avengers directly within the Westview Illusion!

Even if the Westview Illusion disappeared, the heroes would not come back to life.

Because all of this was real!

Only the memories were fake!

[a-rank opportunity mission: Defeat the Heavenly Hammer Emissary Kingpin to obtain the heavenly hammer.]

A line of text bubbles popped up.

Linn's eyes gleamed with sharp light. He breathed a slight sigh of relief; he had thought the system had disappeared upon entering the Westview Illusion.

So... the system was still there!

That was enough to prove that the Westview Illusion was just an illusion, and the conflicts he experienced were not just a fantasy story.

However, he currently had no clue how to break the illusion.

In fact, the scale of the Westview Illusion had already covered the Americas and was sweeping across the globe.

The ancient civilization across the ocean was also about to be rewritten!

"Because Mayor Kingpin cares very much about tax issues."

"And ten million dollars is no small sum."

The Fobole agent wore sunglasses, his tone indifferent.

If the taxes weren't paid on time, Natasha would be arrested.

"Linn, the sales of all the novels I've published don't even reach ten million. This is clearly a trap!"

Natasha said gloomily.

A trace of anxiety flashed in her beautiful eyes; she didn't want to be separated from Linn.

"Don't worry."

"I will personally go find Mayor... Kingpin."

Linn narrowed his eyes.

Afterward, he sent the Fobole agent away, opened a Mystic Gate, and headed straight for New York.

His magic had not disappeared; in fact, by gaining advantages in the Westview Illusion, he could absorb Chaos Magic to strengthen his own magical power.

This was also why he didn't break the Westview Illusion immediately.

Furthermore, he was considering a strategy to directly deal with Nightmare and refine Nightmare into a talisman!

Relying on the perception of the ninja soldiers, he had already discovered that Westview TV was being led by Nightmare, and Hela, Goddess of Death, had also appeared at the broadcasting building.

However, he had not discovered where Wanda was located.

Perhaps only Nightmare knew where Wanda was!

New York.

Hell's Kitchen.

The Fisk Business Tower.

It had already become an administrative unit.

Kingpin's gaze was cold. Files were laid out on his desk, all containing data on the Avengers. They had new identities in the Westview Illusion, but identities were just identities!

Thor was still the son of Odin, the God of Thunder and Strength!

Tony Stark, the man cursed by knowledge, still possessed his genius intellect.

Dr. Banner served as the Police Director, with the Hulk hidden within him.

It was just that the power of the Westview Illusion was unpredictable, making the Superheroes forget their memories. But once those memories resurfaced, his trouble would begin!

"The Avengers must be dealt with within the Westview Illusion."

"And... that damn Daredevil!"

Kingpin's expression was sinister as he slammed his fist onto the desk, shattering it instantly, yet his palm was completely unscathed, without a single injury.

Because despite his seemingly obese physique, he was actually pure muscle!

Exerting his full strength was enough to punch through a wall, and he had a brutal record of beating sparring partners into raw pulp.

Moreover, he had obtained the power of the heavenly hammer, and his physical attributes had soared!

"Among the heroes in the Westview Illusion, there are a few lucky ones who retained their previous memories. Daredevil is one of them."

"Bullseye!"

Kingpin commanded coldly.

Immediately, the office door opened, and a stone-faced young man walked in, twirling a pen between his fingers. His alias was Bullseye, a true master of hidden weapons.

Any tool could become a lethal projectile in his hands!

"Kill Daredevil for me, and then, all the Avengers!"

"We absolutely cannot let the Avengers wake up."

Kingpin issued the order.

Bullseye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, he suddenly threw the pen, instantly striking a ninja soldier climbing outside the window and causing it to dissipate into grey mist!

"What was that?"

Kingpin suddenly gripped the heavenly hammer, his body glowing with a brilliant light. There was actually surveillance hidden in the shadows?

"Quite clever."

"Should I call you Kingpin, or Wilson Fisk? You know everything is an illusion, yet you chose to accept it?"

A playful voice drifted in.

Linn stepped out of the Mystic Gate. The shadows on both sides rose from the ground, transforming into ninja soldiers in night-suits, clutching shuriken and throwing stars.

"Are you Linn?"

"The legendary Sorcerer Supreme? I heard you wiped out The Hand, which allowed me to become the King of Hell's Kitchen. I should thank you."

Kingpin straightened his collar, his expression sincere.

In fact, he didn't even show hostility. Although he raised the heavenly hammer, he didn't necessarily have to be loyal to The Serpent!

Nor did he have any reason to obey Nightmare!

"So, you want to crown yourself king and dominate the Westview Illusion? You have quite an appetite."

Linn said with a faint smile.

Facing Kingpin and Bullseye, a cold light overflowed from his eyes.

The only person he worried about was Wanda. Even if the Westview Illusion covered reality and rewrote this Universe, it wouldn't matter.

In fact, the Chaos magic barrier was indestructible, even stronger than a magic barrier!

Demon God Chiyou, the Black-Clothed Emperor, the Omnipotent Goddess... they would all be isolated outside the Chaos barrier, never able to invade the Westview Illusion. Wouldn't that be a good thing?

However, as his gaze swept across the office, Linn's pupils dilated.

On the wall behind Kingpin hung a coiled dragon statue. The statue's design was hideous and terrifying, with a dragon head in the center and a snake-like body winding and curling, featuring twelve indentations on its surface.

"The Shendu statue?"

"How did the Fire Demon appear in the Westview Illusion?"

Linn frowned.

He could clearly feel soul fluctuations existing within the Shendu statue!

"The twelve talismans..."

"They are all on you? Give the twelve talismans to me!"

The Shendu statue's eyes lit up with a red glow, and it let out a suppressed, excited roar, startling both Kingpin and Bullseye.

Clearly, neither had noticed that this statue possessed life!

Boom!

A violent, scorching wave of fire vented out.

Shendu, the Fire Demon, representing the Li trigram of the Bagua. Even without the twelve talismans, he was a noble dragon and demon sorcerer!

His appearance here was baffling and perplexing.

But Linn waved his hand.

Arcane runes outlined a magic shield. He secretly thought something was wrong; the combination of Chaos Magic and the Laws of Dreams might have allowed people and things that shouldn't exist to appear in the Westview Illusion!

In short, this was a brand-new Universe.

A completely unfamiliar World!

Furthermore, with the appearance of the Shendu statue, it could be inferred that the panda box would also exist!

Because the eight great demons were connected as one and never appeared alone.

"Shadowkhans!"

The Shendu statue let out a call.

Immediately, shadows in the corners rose up and pounced toward the ninja soldiers.

They had almost identical appearances and skills!

"What else has intruded into the Westview Illusion?"

"I have an ominous feeling."

Linn frowned.

[SS-Rank Opportunity Mission: Re-seal the eight great demons to obtain the book of ages.]

A line of text bubbles popped up.

"the book of ages?"

"It supposedly records all of history. No matter what words are written in it, they instantly become reality!"

"The self-awareness of the Westview Illusion actually created the book of ages? Doesn't that mean I can use the book of ages to backtrack history once again?"

Linn's pupils shrank slightly.

In his eyes, the Westview Illusion was not just an illusion; it was like a large-scale live-action reality show instance. Nightmare wove the basic settings, Wanda was responsible for turning those settings into reality, and the World began to execute itself spontaneously.

Therefore, this meant that the Westview Illusion had loopholes; there would inevitably be bugs!

"the book of ages..."

"Might be that very bug."

Linn was secretly excited.

It seemed he had finally found a way to break the situation!

He just wasn't sure if the creations of the Westview Illusion could be retained in reality.

Chapter 99: Shendu, the Fire Demon! (Seeking Golden Tickets!)

"It should be possible."

"After all, this is an S-Rank opportunity."

Linn's eyes were filled with anticipation.

He still remembered that Monica Rambeau, as Spectrum, gained the power of Spectrum by traversing Chaos Magic.

It was clear that the rewriting of Chaos Magic was not just temporary!

Doesn't that mean that even if he shatters the Westview Illusion, the creations within the Westview Illusion will be preserved in the real World?

This is quite a problem.

It's like the World has been updated!

However, as he pondered, the Shendu statue suddenly twisted, its skin glowing with vibrant color, and it slowly began to move.

One foot stomped heavily on the ground, shaking the entire building, dust falling from the ceiling. The Seven-meter-tall dragon-headed demon roared, throwing its head back.

The sound waves swept through, causing Linn to frown deeply.

He saw Hela, Goddess of Death, casting a spell on the Shendu statue!

"Venerable Lin En, in the Westview Illusion, you are nothing but a Joker. Nightmare and I are the administrators; you will surely die here, your soul tormented!"

Hela emerged from the mist, surging magic overflowing from her fingertips, and then vanished back into the mist.

She had mastered the script of the Westview Illusion.

She had already discovered that there were seven other Great Demons besides Shendu, and she would find the panda box to personally release The Seven Great Demons, focusing their fire to kill the Sorcerer Supreme!

Currently, the scale of the Westview Illusion had covered half of the Earth, and all the familiar people and things had been rewritten by Chaos Magic!

No one could stop this process, and once one fell into the Westview Illusion, they would lose all their memories and be given a completely new identity.

Even the Three Sanctums had transformed, becoming a restaurant, a bar, and a museum, respectively.

All Masters of the Mystic Arts had fallen to the mundane World; even Mutants had faded into obscurity.

There were simply no Mutants!

Only enhanced humans who had been injected with Compound V.

"The twelve talismans!"

"These do not belong to you!"

"Thief!"

Shendu swung his dragon claw, fiercely grabbing towards Linn. His burly and powerful body was like a giant troll, with tough and dense scales.

Kingpin and Bullseye sneered, but did not join the battle. They left Fisk Tower directly and called Dr. Banner, the Director.

"Director Banner."

"There's danger and trouble in my office. Please send someone quickly to resolve it for me."

Kingpin got into his car and quickly drove away from Hells Kitchen.

As the Mayor of New York City, his command was like an imperial decree!

"Yes, My Lord Mayor."

Bruce Banner put on his police hat and led his team to Hells Kitchen. But seeing Shendu and Linnclashing, he couldn't help but be stunned for a second.

A voice in his ear made him feel a bit disoriented.

"Hulk..."

"Who is Hulk?"

Bruce Banner mumbled.

However, as the aftershocks reached him and glass shards shot towards his head, his body suddenly grew larger, his skin turning green, his physique muscular and solid.

In a blink, he transformed into the Hulk, clenched his fist, and swung it fiercely, shattering a Shadow Soldier in a second. He then charged out like a cannonball, crashing into Shendu!

Boom!

The Fire Demon was hit hard, smashing through the building, the ceiling collapsing on him. His eyes bulged, and a surge of anger rose within him.

"Hulk?"

"It seems you still remember?"

Linn looked surprised.

Dr. Banner had lost his memory, yet Hulk had retained consciousness!

"Illusion, fake."

"Hulk, real."

Hulk pointed to himself, a simple, stupid smile on his face. He had been suppressed by Chaos Magic, but as Banner lost emotional control, he finally gained control.

"Emotion?"

"So, emotion can awaken memories?"

Linn's eyes gleamed.

Under great pressure, people's potential is unleashed.

Perhaps he could use this method to make the Avengers normal again!

But he needed to deal with Shendu, and even more so, The Seven Great Demons, and eliminate Nightmare and Hela, before he could obtain the book of ages!

the book of ages.

It miraculously recorded all history. He and Wanda had talked about the existence of the book of agesduring their chats, and it had actually appeared in the Westview Illusion.

Then, that means the Westview Illusion was personally woven by Wanda, and Nightmare merely guided Wanda to successfully rewrite reality!

As the Westview Illusion grew, half of the Earth was enveloped in the illusion, and the Scarlet Barriercovered everything, even sweeping into the deep sea.

Even heroes outside the illusion barrier couldn't shake Chaos Magic, only allowing it to spread until they became part of the illusion!

"Get out!"

Shendu roared, unleashing rolling sound waves. His dragon claws formed a fist, streaking across the sky like a meteor, fiercely striking the Hulk.

"Such a weak dragon!"

Hulk's eyes turned crimson, his anger ignited. His strength would surge with his rage.

Then, the two fists collided with a bang!

Like a nuclear weapon exploding in mid-air, the Impact waves tore through the void, the building immediately tilted and shattered, floor after floor collapsing, causing fear among the surrounding residents.

The power of fear!

It was also boosting the magic power of Asgard's former God King!

Linn frowned.

The threat of the heavenly hammer event was negligible. The mastermind behind it was Great Serpent, God of Fear. Once Great Serpent absorbed fear and transformed from old to young, he would quickly begin to act!

"To re-seal the eight great demons, the divine artifact that subdued Shendu, it seems to be a sword..."

Linn's eyes gleamed.

Then, he gripped the black death sword tightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He mastered Dragon Language Magic, comprehended the Power of Incantations; what he spoke was a spell, what he stated was a heavenly decree!

Thus, he had the confidence to seal Shendu.

"Demons and monsters, quickly leave..."

"Demons and monsters, quickly leave..."

"Demons and monsters, quickly leave..."

Linn chanted, holding his sword.

Immediately, as he softly recited, the black death sword emitted a green glow, causing spatial ripples and stirring up a fierce wind.

Shendu's pupils constricted to pinpricks. Listening to the spell, he couldn't help but recall painful memories, but he had no time to escape!

"No!"

Shendu struggled and shrieked, clawing wildly.

A violent suction current emerged, dragging him directly into the sky, and in a flash, he appeared on the Hong Kong Peninsula.

A plain stone gate, like an ancient archway, had an internal energy vortex swirling, sucking Shendu into the gate!

Click!

The stone gate flashed and vanished again.

Linn's expression showed solemnity.

"It seems the Westview Illusion has truly turned fiction into reality, materializing the eight great demons, and even the Demon Hell has appeared in the World."

"Perhaps the other seven Great Demons are also about to make an appearance."

Linn sighed inwardly.

He had never expected that the Westview Illusion could cover reality, summoning people and things that didn't exist into the illusion!

Even if he shattered the illusion, these intrusive characters might remain forever.

And all of this was Wanda's doing.

Where exactly was Wanda?

Also... Nightmare's magic might also be growing stronger through the Westview Illusion; he might no longer just be a Demon King, but could have reached an extreme sublimation.

"Director Banner! Have you forgotten who I am? I am Wilson Fisk, the Mayor of New York!"

Kingpin roared.

Hulk lost his target and, with a single leap, crushed the front of Kingpin's car.

Kingpin raised his heavenly hammer to retaliate, also feeling incredibly bewildered. It seemed Hulk had retained consciousness and seen through the truth of the illusion?

Doesn't that mean the Avengers will eventually awaken, causing him to lose his current status?

"No Banner, only Hulk!"

Hulk swung his fist with force.

Clang!

The heavenly hammer and the fist collided, a turbulent storm tearing through the air, further destroying the street and causing a roaring explosion.

The fire hydrant shattered directly, spraying a stream of Water.

Cars honked frantically, and the glass windows on both sides burst open.

But a red heat ray shot from thin air, repelling the Hulk on the spot!

"Homelander?"

"Azu is here!"

"The hero of The Seven! He's going to fight the monster to rescue the Mayor!"
