"What the hell?"
Hearing what the Mage King said, Zhan Liu was immediately shocked.
Although he had seen Gu Yi before, he was still a dead body, but for some reason, Zhan Liu was filled with inexplicable fear of Gu Yi.
"No, no, no... there must be some misunderstanding!"
Zhan Liu shook his head repeatedly, "I don't even know magic, how can I be the Supreme Mage?"
"Can't you learn magic?" The Mage King's attitude was very enthusiastic now, "I can teach you!"
With such a strong man as the Supreme Mage, Kamal Taj will naturally be invulnerable, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the earth.
"I don't want to learn this stuff! I don't have a big backing that can make me cheat and not pay my debts."
Thinking of those mages whose souls had to be taken away by the demon god who came from the magic power after death, Zhan Liu threw away the Eye of Agamotto as if it was a hot hand.
"Since Ancient One said whoever holds this thing is the Supreme Mage, then I will let you be the Supreme Mage."
The Mage King subconsciously reached out to catch it. However, when he was about to catch the Eye of Agamotto, a small-scale time reversal suddenly occurred.
The thrown Eye of Agamotto returned to Zhan Liu's hand just as it was thrown out by Zhan Liu.
At this moment, both of them were stunned, looking intently at the artifact in Zhan Liu's hand.
Zhan Liu did not believe in evil and lost it again. As a result, time went back again and the Eye of Agamotto returned to Zhan Liu's hands again.
Originally, the Mage King still had some doubts about what Gu Yi had said, but after experiencing this, he was completely relieved.
"Haha... There's no need to refuse anymore. Look, even this artifact has chosen you!" Mage Wang happily persuaded Zhan Liu, "Didn't you say before that you were destined to this artifact?"
"I was just talking nonsense! I can't count!" Zhan Liu now felt that not only was he indebted to his hands, he was also indebted to his mouth.
Just as he was talking, a cloak suddenly flew from behind the Mage King and hung it behind Zhan Liu. It was handsome and sassy, and it was exactly the one Dr. Strange was wearing.
Zhan Liu didn't want to become the second Doctor Strange, so he hurriedly reached out and pulled it down, but he couldn't pull it off no matter how hard he pulled it.
"Fuck! It's all up to me!" Zhan Liu was furious.
"The magician's artifacts have spirits and will choose their masters on their own."
The mage king looked on with a smile and continued to persuade:
"Why are you so resistant?"
"The Supreme Mage can be a famous existence in the entire universe. In principle, he can command all mages to obey orders."
Zhan Liu struggled for a long time, but could not get rid of the identity of the Supreme Mage. He had no choice but to stop temporarily and wait until he came back to think of a solution.
Seeing that Zhan Liu seemed to have accepted his fate, the mage king smiled and bowed, bowing and inviting.
"Dear Supreme Mage, let me take you to visit Kama Taj. You will live here for a long time in the future. Then we have to start learning magic..."
"No! Never!" Zhan Liu interrupted the Mage King before he could finish his words.
Zhan Liu raised his hands and crossed them in front of him, "I don't want to be the supreme mage!"
"I would rather learn technology than learn magic that has long been outdated!"
"What era is it? The era of magic has long since declined. There is no way out by learning magic!"
Regardless of the Mage King's plea to stay, Zhan Liu insisted on leaving.
Looking at Zhan Liu's retreating back, the Mage King put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly:
"Don't refuse anymore. The next Supreme Mage is destined to be you!"
Zhan Liu said nothing and flew forward with his head down. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw a missile in the distant sky heading towards us at more than ten times the speed of sound.
Although it was far away, Zhan Liu could see the logo representing a nuclear bomb on the missile at a glance.
Sure enough, faced with the helpless situation, those politicians resorted to their usual solution - drop nuclear bombs!
If one nuclear bomb can't solve it, throw two. With their poor way of thinking, they don't believe that there are problems that nuclear bombs can't solve.
In New York now, although the dark magic has been taken back, the entire city has not calmed down yet.
Those people who are inspired by the dark magic in their hearts are still venting their desires like wild beasts.
In fact, after being freed from the stimulation of dark magic, as long as they wait a few hours for their desires to be vented and their emotions to calm down, they will regain their composure and return to their original sanctimonious appearance.
However, the rulers as far away as Washington did not know this.
They only saw through space satellites that the ground had completely fallen into complete chaos.
After all attempts to contact them failed, they were horrified to find that all existing government systems had collapsed and the entire city had been completely disconnected.
New York fell, the streets were filled with crazy people, gun battles were everywhere, explosions occurred one after another, and flames burned every corner of the city... The builders of this city were destroying the place wantonly.
After learning that the current S.H.I.E.L.D. was powerless against this attack, and that all parties did not want to contribute for free, the elites of the think tank easily concluded that New York was finished and could not be saved!
According to their understanding of these big men, New York may be able to be rescued after the transaction price is negotiated, but it will take at least ten days and a half. After such a long time, the bones of New Yorkers stink.
Therefore, instead of wasting time and energy on some kind of rescue, it is better to abandon New York completely and take the opportunity to kill the enemy who caused all this, so as not to affect Chiyu anymore and involve the surrounding cities.
So, after a round of passing the blame, some hapless scapegoat had to step in and give the order to launch a nuclear bomb on New York.
Because the dark magic has disappeared, the target of the nuclear bomb launch is very clear, which is the New York temple that inexplicably appeared out of thin air.
Zhan Liu took a glance and identified the launch direction of the nuclear bomb, then sneered and shook his head, ignoring it.
Nuclear bombs are quite powerful, but only if they can blow up people. Otherwise, they are just large firecrackers, useless.
Sure enough, after the Mage King saw the nuclear bomb, he looked gloomily, stretched out his hand and drew a circle, and then the nuclear bomb plunged into the space door that suddenly appeared in front of him, and he didn't know where it went.
In other words, the Wizard King had a good temper and just threw away the nuclear bomb. If it had been someone with a bad temper, he might have sent the nuclear bomb to Washington.
The sudden disappearance of the nuclear bomb immediately caused confusion among the gentlemen in Washington. They hurriedly used satellite positioning to check the location of the nuclear bomb, only to find that the nuclear bomb had appeared in outer space inexplicably.
Although it is still possible to get the nuclear bomb back by remote control, or simply send another one, the problem is that this attack is ineffective. Will the next attack be effective?
Immediately afterwards, they discovered that in full view of everyone, the building had disappeared out of thin air.
Without the interference of Casillas, it would be very easy to reconstruct the magic circle and hide the New York Temple.
But this series of unknown situations made everyone panic.
What humans fear most is the unknown, so unreasonable things like magic attract humans to keep pursuing it.
Realizing that force of arms might be ineffective, they finally became pacifists again and began to consider negotiations.
They had seen Zhanliu flying in the sky before, but compared to the entire city, a mere Zhanliu was not worthy of their attention. It didn't matter whether he lived or died. He was regarded as a burial object in New York.
However, if you want to negotiate now, you need a messenger. It would definitely be too late to send someone from Washington. Zhan Liu had dealt with those people and was close to them, so he was the right candidate.
So, as soon as Zhan Liu returned to the martial arts gym, before he could explain the matter clearly to Natalia, a call came in.
"Mr. Zhan, it's great that you're okay!" Director Pierce was very enthusiastic and expressed his condolences as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he cared about Zhan Liu very much.
As Zhan Liu's strength became stronger, his behavior gradually became tougher. He didn't believe that a Hydra snakehead would be so kind to comfort him, so he simply interrupted his nonsense.
"Okay, if you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush, I'm annoyed by this!"
"We want to get some information about the people in that building with Mr. Zhan. Of course, we won't consult for nothing. We will pay enough for the consultation, and we will definitely satisfy you, Mr. Zhan."
Zhan Liu thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he didn't hide it and said:
"That's the New York Temple, where mages gather..."
After Zhan Liu finished explaining the general situation, Director Pierce's eyes were shining brightly on the other end of the phone, and he was extremely excited.
No matter which branch of Hydra, they are all chasing powerful extraordinary power, but unfortunately, all the power systems they discover are basically unreplicable.
Whether it's super soldier serum, mutant genes, Inhumans, strange supernatural items... the final creation of super soldiers depends on luck and is completely impossible to mass-produce.
But the mage system is obviously different. Master and apprentice pass on the inheritance, learn and exercise together, make magic items, study magic circles, and even hide their own existence and build a base in another dimension...
This is simply an organization tailor-made for Hydra members!
As for talking about the responsibility of protecting the earth... Haha, isn't SHIELD also protecting the earth?
When the Hydra rules the world, it will naturally protect its own sheep land.
"We did not see this mage organization's actions to protect the earth. Instead, we saw that the entire New York fell into destruction because of their work errors!"
Director Pierce pretended to be angry and started digging a hole.
"We hope that Mr. Zhan can convey a message to the people of this organization that their organization must come to the surface!"
"We can provide them with free teaching venues, help them expand their influence, better promote the spread of magic in the world, and help them recruit more high-quality students..."
Director Pierce threw out a lot of offers that seemed very favorable, but in the end the conversation changed and the picture became clear.
"But they must accept the supervision of the Security Council. We will not interfere with their daily affairs, but we will send a special commissioner to Kamal Taj to be responsible for communication between the two parties."
His calculation was quite good, and he threw out a lot of baits that looked like benefits, but they all had hooks hidden inside.
Once you come out to the public, you will be easily monitored and targeted.
To promote magic is to inevitably give away its secrets.
As for recruiting high-quality students, it is a great opportunity to place undercover agents.
As for the following conditions, it doesn't matter if they are not accepted. Anyway, as long as any of the above conditions are accepted by the mages, Hydra will be able to follow the clues and achieve their goals.
But if it succeeds, of course it will be better, it will save time and make penetration more efficient.
No matter what, Hydra is making huge profits!
That's how it should be.
But Zhan Liu refused them all at once.
"What good things are you thinking about?"
"You are the only ones who still want to get involved with Kama Taj?"
"Kama Taj will not agree to any conditions, so you should stop thinking about it!"
"Oh, by the way, the dark magic has been sucked away, and those people in New York won't be crazy for long."
"You'd better think about it first. How will they react when they wake up and find that they were almost sent away by a nuclear bomb?"
"Hiss..." Sure enough, Director Pierce took a breath after hearing this, "Can those people in New York return to normal?"
"Of course, they were just stimulated by the dark magic. After the dark magic disappears, they will naturally return to normal." Zhan Liu gloated.
There was a burst of confusion on the other end of the phone. It was unclear what was going on on the other end. After a while, Director Pierce's voice rang again.
"Mr. Zhan, thank you very much for this information. You will definitely be satisfied with our return."
After thanking him, Director Pierce brought the topic back.
"Mr. Zhan, the mages still want to ask you to help spread the news."
"Whether they will agree to it or not, we have to try to find out."
"And no matter what the mages choose, it has nothing to do with you, does it?"
After a pause, he continued to seduce: "If Mr. Zhan can convince those mages to accept our conditions, then we will definitely be grateful."
"Haha..." Zhan Liu smiled coldly, "Who said it has nothing to do with me?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I accidentally killed their Supreme Mage just now, and now they rely on me and insist on making me their Supreme Mage."
"I will inform you now in the name of the current Supreme Mage that I will not agree to any of your conditions!"
