Chapter 340: The Dark Divine Book
"The Book of Darkness", which appeared in the MCU in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4, is described in the show as a terrifying book that can give humans the knowledge of gods, but can make any soul go crazy until it falls.
It is mentioned in the play that this book has existed in the mouths of countless people in the form of legends, and it is said that anyone who gets this book will instantly gain the power to reign over the world. That's why countless generations throughout history have tried to find it, Hitler tried, Red Skull tried, even Nick Fury tried, but they all failed.
The "Book of Darkness" in the American drama is a book with its own mind and will turn its own readers. It automatically switches to the native language of any reader, and presents knowledge beyond the imagination of any intelligent creature in the world in a form that any reader can understand. The scientists in S.H.I.E.L.D. use the knowledge in this book to even create something out of nothing, and they see this book as an interface for mortals to access the power of God. It's just that everyone who reads this book ends up being obsessed with it.
However, no one who has ever received this book has really understood that it is in fact the most profound and mysterious magic in the world, chaos magic.
Chaos magic is one of the most powerful magic in the world, and is often classified as "black magic" by living magicians. The main reason for this is because the source of chaos magic is the god of the underworld in another dimension, Sithorne, an ancient god who is extremely evil and extremely powerful. His divine powers...... Let's just say that Dormammu claims to be the master of some dimension, but if he really bumps into Sithorne, he is the younger brother of his brothers. Silthorne was going to destroy him, and he didn't even dare to put one.
And the most famous user of chaos magic in the entire Marvel world is naturally the famous Scarlet Witch among the Avengers.
In the first phase of the MCU, the Scarlet Witch's abilities were initially explained as telekinetic superpowers, but there was no explanation of her origin and roots. However, in the next stage of the project after the end of Avengers 4, the official has made it clear that the follow-up story of Scarlet Witch will be in line with magic, which shows that her power is still chaos magic after all.
It's just that in the movie, the Scarlet Witch can only use the magic of chaos to throw stones or smash people, and she doesn't know any high-level spells at all. Using chaos magic is her innate talent, but without the guidance of the corresponding spells, she is equivalent to a child guarding the vault, and she has no tricks at all.
However, even so, Wanda, who exploded in Avengers 4, still beat Thanos violently.
So how powerful can such Wanda be if she gets a chaotic magic tutorial like "The Book of Darkness" that includes teaching and detailed interpretation of knowledge points
It looks like they'll know the answer soon.
The Scarlet Witch gently raised her flawless white right hand, her fingers flared lightly, and the scarlet flames seemed to suddenly grow stronger.
The magic swept over the sky, like thousands of turbulent currents flowing through the entire mirror space.
The core of the entire space seemed to have been transformed by magical power, the earth heated up rapidly, and pitch-black flames erupted from the soles of everyone's feet, like a huge flame lotus blooming demonically.
The first to bear the brunt of this was the group of dragon set mages. The mages who noticed the anomaly hurriedly released their defensive shields one by one to resist, but it was completely useless. The moment the demonic fire came into contact, it corroded the magic shield in their hands, and the shield constructed by magic power had no resistance in the face of the black flames. The shield burned through, and their arms were engulfed in black flames. One by one, the mages howled heartbreakingly, and soon their skin and flesh were burned to the core, and there was nothing left.
Gwen and Jessica were a little frightened by the scene, and the black fire swept towards them after devouring a large number of mages. But Richard's body flickered in front of them, and the evolutionary truster swiped his hand lightly, condensing into a blue barrier to perfectly block the flames.
Casillas was a bit of a skill, and the shield he had drawn from the dark magic barely blocked the flames for three or five seconds, and then he quickly drew a circle to open the portal before his defenses were about to be torn apart, and turned his head and slipped away.
Casillas didn't care, Richard estimated that if the Supreme Mage wanted him to die, he didn't know how many times he had died, since the ancient master had not sanctioned him, he must have his own considerations, there was nothing to worry about.
The problem now is the Scarlet Witch in front of her.
It's clear that Wanda is now out of control, and if left unchecked, her magic will unconsciously destroy everything around her, and in serious cases, even reality could be torn apart.
However, Richard felt that if it really developed to this point, then the Ancient One Mage should have no reason to paddle this time
The coercion on the Scarlet Witch made both Gwen and Jessica feel depressed, no matter how powerful the two were, they were ordinary people after all, and they couldn't resist the power of chaos magic. Gwen struggled to whisper, "What's going on with this kid, is this a superpower or ......"
"It's magic." Richard's face was solemn, and he said lightly as he raised the Evolutionary Truster, "Things are starting to get a little complicated. It may not be safe for a while, so you go out first, and I'll be with you soon. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the two girls to respond, he used the Evolution Truster to slash with his hand, and a shining white light suddenly broke through the gap in this mirror space. Before Gwen and Jessica could speak, a strong force grabbed her body and dragged them out of the crack.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in this huge mirror space, Richard and Scarlet Witch.
Although he thinks that the old man will come out to clean up the mess no matter what he says, Richard is really curious about how he can fight with the Scarlet Witch in his current state. After all, he had never fought with such a top mage, and he had very little contact with magic, so it would be good to know a little more about it.
He pinched the Evolution Truster in his right hand and clenched the Energy Blaster in his left hand. The pale blue energy field invisibly surrounded his body, and Dao energy swirled around him like an invisible air current.
The witch turned her head mechanically, her hazy eyes staring straight at him.
The next moment, the book hanging in front of her began to turn the pages automatically, and she turned more than a dozen or twenty sheets of paper in a row. Scarlet lines outlined the pages, and powerful magic erupted.
The witch attacked—scarlet magic pierced like tentacles, sweeping toward where Richard was standing!
