Zhan Liu and the others came to 177A Bleecker Street in Manhattan, New York City, where the New York Temple is located.
"Is it here? Why don't I see anything?" Natalia stood in the sky, looking down and around for a long time, but she didn't find the location of the New York Temple.
"In order to prevent being disturbed by ordinary people, the temple used a magic circle to hide this place."
"Then how did you see it?" Natalia asked strangely.
"I just discovered that this eye has such a use." Zhan Liu pointed to the third eye on his forehead proudly, "I have tried many times before, but I have never been able to emit laser light, nor can I see through it. Function, I always thought that this mutant organ was just a decoration!"
In Zhan Liu's third eye, countless magic circles interlocked with each other, forming a huge magic circle, cutting a piece of the current dimension out of thin air, overlapping with the buildings in the real world, and being in the same position. But they have nothing to do with each other.
Zhan Liu signaled to Natalia, slowly landed at the gate of the New York Temple, and knocked on the door gently, very politely.
However, no one paid any attention to him!
After knocking several times, there was no response, which made Zhan Liu feel a little annoyed.
He tentatively pushed the palace door, and it opened lightly.
Without the partition of the magic door, the original sound insulation effect disappeared immediately. From inside came the sound of violent explosions, as well as a lot of shouting, fighting, chanting curses... and other noises.
The two looked at each other and knew something was wrong inside.
Zhan Liu ignored the politeness issue and pushed open the door and rushed in.
The New York Temple was in chaos, with collapsed corridors, flames everywhere, and many pale corpses wearing black cloaks lying everywhere.
"It's bad, we encountered the Casillas rebellion!" As soon as he saw those brightly dressed cultists, Zhan Liu realized what was happening in the temple.
He hurriedly strode in, not because he was rushing to help Gu Yi quell the rebellion, but because he was worried that he would be late and Gu Yi took the opportunity to get off work.
Just as he rounded a corner, a figure suddenly appeared and rushed toward him. Zhan Liu subconsciously punched the opponent, and with a "pop", he hit the opponent to the core, and blood poured all over his head.
Before he could see clearly who the deceased was, he heard the entire temple suddenly become quiet, all sounds disappeared, and then a scream came.
"He...he killed the Mage Supreme!"
Zhan Liu's head was buzzing. He took a closer look and saw that the corpse hanging on his hand had a bald head, handsome features, a smile on his lips, a yellow robe, and the Eye of Agamotto hanging on his chest. He was not the Supreme Mage. Ancient One?
Fuck!
Even if you want to die, don't hold me back!
Wouldn't it be nice to die at the hands of Casillas?
Why do you have to hit my hand?
If he said this was an accident, Zhan Liu would not believe it even to death.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand why Gu Yi had to die in his hands.
But the current situation no longer allows him to explain, and no one is willing to listen to his explanation.
The magicians of Kama Taj were like crazy, throwing all kinds of magic at him.
Zhan Liu sighed and decided to leave first and find a chance to explain later.
He pulled Gu Yi's body off his arm and threw it to the ground.
Now he hated this old woman and had no respect for the corpse.
As soon as Gu Yi's body fell to the ground, the Eye of Agamotto on his chest floated upward, dazzling in front of Zhan Liu's eyes.
Zhan Liu's heart moved, and he subconsciously reached out and brought back the artifact containing the time stone.
The blame has been taken. Since it’s no longer clear, let’s just reap the benefits!
He pulled back and left the New York Temple in a flash. Natalia, confused, also withdrew.
However, Casillas, who was commanding the cultists to rush and kill, saw Zhan Liu snatching away the Time Stone. He immediately became furious, leaving the Mage King and others behind, and chased after them.
"Keep the Eye of Agamotto, or I won't let you go!" Casillas shouted, releasing a dark shock wave towards Zhan Liu in the sky.
For such a fool, Zhan Liu didn't even have the desire to kill him. He swayed, dodged the attack, and took Natalya to accelerate beyond the speed of sound in an instant, causing bursts of thunder and disappearing from the end of his sight.
"Damn it!" Casillas was furious, but he couldn't fly and his speed was slow. There was nothing he could do to deal with Zhan Liu and the others, so he could only talk a little bit, "I will find you! You can never escape!"
Zhan Liu and the others had disappeared long ago, and they didn't even hear what he was shouting about.
After returning to her residence, Natalia asked narrowly:
"Aren't you here to ask a question?"
"Why did you beat him to death?"
"And the cosmic-level strongman you call him is too fragile, right?"
"I couldn't even withstand a punch from you and died. Did you remember it wrong, or did you say that you have become the best master in the universe?"
Zhan Liu rolled his eyes at her and said angrily: "We were tricked by Gu Yi!"
"The Marvel Universe is no longer an era of magic. All magic is borrowed magic. You need to borrow magic from the demons that exist in the dark in order to use magic."
"Whether it's white magic or black magic, this principle must be followed."
"But the problem is that what you borrow must be repaid. The more magic you borrow, the more you have to repay in the future. In the end, not only your body, but even your soul will have to pay for it."
"The Ancient One is the eternal right-hand man of the True God of the Universe. After her death, her soul must return to eternity. This is the highest level of priority. All demon gods cannot compete with the True God of the Universe."
"The demon gods didn't know Gu Yi's identity, so they foolishly lent money to her."
"This guy deceived countless powerful demon gods and borrowed huge magic power from them, but when she needed to repay it, she died and ran away!"
"You thought she was dead, but in fact she defaulted on her debt!"
"When she dies like this, all the demon gods will lose their blood, and none of the magic power they lent can be recovered!"
Natalia was dumbfounded by Zhan Liu's explanation.
"Is this still possible?"
"Humph, you can do such nonsense if you have a big backstage!" When it comes to this, Zhan Liuqi won't mention it at all.
"There are worse things!" Zhan Liu continued to complain: "Gu Yi can see the future and never does anything unnecessary. In other words, she must have some plan when she chooses to die in my hands. It’s just that we don’t know. There will definitely be a lot of trouble coming later.”
"Then why don't you explain it to those mages?"
"Who would believe it?" Zhan Liu lamented.
"I have no friendship with them. They saw Gu Yi die in my hands with their own eyes. How could they believe what I said?"
"However, even though I have taken the blame, it is certainly not without gain."
"Just like a game, the fear is that there is nothing to do. As long as the mission event can be triggered, it will naturally push the game plot forward."
"Maybe the answer we are looking for will come to our door soon. At least there will be a clue."
Natalia rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "Reality is not a game, how can it develop like you said?"
"How do you know reality is not a game?" Zhan Liu retorted: "Even the system is out, isn't it normal to have main quests?"
"Besides, there is a destiny in the Marvel Universe. Everything is destined, and the gods have arranged everything!"
"Heh, why don't we just lie down? Do we still need to work hard to find any lost memories?" Natalia said sarcastically unhappily.
"Lie down?" Zhan Liu sneered, "Haha... If fate allows, you can lie down. If fate does not allow, you are not even qualified to lie down."
"If you don't cause trouble, trouble will come to you. It doesn't mean that you can just lie down and be safe."
"If nothing else, this Infinity Stone in my hand is one of the greatest attractors of trouble in the world."
After saying this, Zhan Liu took out the artifact he had snatched and began to play with it to see if he could gain the power to control time.
"Infinity Stones? What are these?"
"It's similar to SHIELD's Cosmic Cube..." Zhan Liu shared the information about the Infinity Stones with Natalia, and finally concluded: "Collecting six Infinity Stones can achieve anything, it's like a wishing machine. It's the same, but the price is also very heavy. Without enough physical strength or mental will, most people simply can't snap their fingers."
Natalia suddenly realized, "So others will come to you one after another to snatch the infinite stones? Like the black magician who just chased you?"
Zhan Liu curled his lips disdainfully, "That guy is a fool. Of course there will be a new Supreme Mage to deal with it. He is not qualified to get his hands on the Infinity Stones. I am talking about Thanos, the overlord of the universe."
"Okay, there's a new character..." Natalia spread her hands in displeasure and complained: "Can't you introduce all the relevant people to me at once?"
"Wow, that's a big project, and it may not be finished in just a few days..." Zhan Liu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"We have plenty of time now, don't we?" Natalia pointed out.
"Well, it's true! Let's start with the main members of the Avengers. The first thing we must say is Iron Man Tony Stark..."
While Zhan Liu was "educating" Natalia, the war in Kamathaj was intensifying.
The death of the Supreme Mage was a huge blow to all the mages, but at the same time, it also inspired the fighting spirit of all the mages, making them even more powerful and defeating Casillas and a group of dark mages.
Dark magic is indeed easy to achieve quickly, but the orthodox mages are in a good position and can effectively use Kama Taj's various magic circles and magic weapons.
The fallen dark mage was abandoned by all his magic weapons. Due to changes in magic power, he was unable to use most of the magic arrays. This caused the battle to gradually become one-sided.
However, Casillas never intended to defeat Kamal Taj with this ragtag group of players. If Kamal Taj was defeated so easily, it would not be worthy of being called a temple.
The fierce battle left a large number of corpses in Kama Taj, which are excellent sacrifices and spell-casting materials used to summon the devil to come.
During the fierce battle between the two sides, Casillas had people clean the floor of the hall of the New York Temple, then carved a huge magic circle on it, and then ordered people to secretly collect dead bodies, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends. Fill in the magic circle.
Before being completely defeated, Casillas finally prepared all the sacrifices.
As he recited the spell, the magic circle slowly started to move, swallowing up all the flesh and blood corpses. The smell of blood instantly filled the entire hall, and an ominous red light shone throughout the room, leaking out through the gaps in the doors and windows. , dyeing everything red.
"Oops! He is summoning the devil, we must stop him!" the Mage King exclaimed.
This sign is too obvious. As long as you know a little bit of magic knowledge, you will know how serious the consequences of this matter will be.
A group of mages began to rush forward regardless of the cost, trying to kill the person in charge of the magic circle before the space door opened and prevent the devil from coming here.
However, when the plan was about to succeed, the other dark mages certainly didn't want to fall short, and they all tried their best.
As the sacrifices were absorbed bit by bit, the space door finally opened.
A tidal wave of dark magic surged from the other end of the space door, instantly exploding the space magic array outside the New York Temple.
The New York Temple appeared in the surface world, crushing the building at its original location into pieces.
The collapse of the building directly exposed the hidden existence of the New York Temple to everyone.
As the dark magic spreads and erodes, ordinary people simply cannot bear this energy. Hallucinations suddenly appear in their brains, they are pulled into a psychedelic realm, and they start to go crazy.
Dark magic only amplifies other people's dark desires and cannot create something out of nothing. However, there are mortals everywhere in the city, born in a prosperous metropolis, with greed, anger, ignorance, love, hate, and evil desires... With all the five poisons, how can there be no heart? Stray thoughts?
As long as there is a little desire, it will be difficult to control the heart in the face of this extraordinary magic power. If you persist for a moment at most, you will become a slave of darkness.
The innocent and kind-hearted person who is usually sanctimonious, now tears off the veil, releases the beast in his heart, and begins to chase his desires based on instinct.
Robbery, rap, killing... Revenge, grievance, all turmoil, start from here.
The troubled New York is once again facing destruction.
Looking at everything in front of him, Casillas laughed heartily. He knelt down facing the space portal, raised his hands in the air, and prayed loudly.
"Praise be to the great Lord of Darkness!"
"Your loyal believer, Casillas, has prepared rich sacrifices for you here, and respectfully invites you to come!"
However, amidst his prayers, the space door on the opposite side was silent, with no movement at all.
