Chapter 251: Conspiracy
Kama Taj.
In the dark and ancient wooden corridor, Strange and Lao Wang chatted as they walked, and the newly recruited magicians along the way nodded respectfully when they saw Strange.
Lao Wang sighed, "As the new Supreme Master, your stay in Kama Taj has been too short, and the new disciples are all a little alienated from you. ”
Strange shook his head, "I don't have the prestige of the Ancient One Master in the multiverse, and now that the earth is in chaos, let Master Hamill continue to teach them." ”
Lao Wang sighed helplessly, "That's all it takes." By the way, I have a question, why do you say that the magic array used by the angels appears on the Book of Emperor Vishan? ”
Strange stopped when he heard this, first looked left and right, and then pulled Lao Wang to the library quickly.
After closing the door, Strange said with a solemn face: "Many magicians who can travel through dimensions have peeked into heaven, but they have never seen God himself, and there is no record of his actions. As for the origin of God, Li Mo and I once had a bold conjecture. ”
"What conjecture?" Lao Wang was confused.
"Do you remember the origin of the goddess Oshtur in the Vishan Emperor?" Strange asked.
"Of course." Lao Wang nodded, "The goddess Oshtur is as old as Gaia, and is one of the first four ancient gods born on earth. ”
"Where's her alias?" Strange spoke with a hint of guidance.
"The goddess of the eastern star, the virgin, the goddess of birds." Lao Wang quickly replied.
"What does a virgin make you think of?" Strange looked at him a little strangely.
"Jesus... Be born? Lao Wang said with some uncertainty.
"The evidence goes beyond that, legend has it that the goddess Oshtur created the Birdmen, I suspect angels, to fight against the evil creatures created by two other evil gods, Seth and Sithhorne. The Trinity of Vishandi contrasts with the Christian Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. ”
Lao Wang felt a little dry in his throat, "But what the Bible says..."
"God doesn't write the Bible, it's all made up by later generations." Strange shook his head.
"But why is that?" Lao Wang shook his head, "No, my mind is a little messy." ”
"It's just a conjecture." Strange patted Lao Wang on the shoulder, "Sometimes the truth will always be obscured by the long river of time, we don't need to go into too much detail, the first priority is to find out what those angels want to do." ”
After finishing speaking, he walked quickly to the "Book of Emperor Weishan" in the seal. Lao Wang shook his head in disbelief behind him and followed.
After removing the Book of the Emperor Visan from the locked sealed iron frame, Strange quickly flipped through it.
"I've seen before... It should be here... Oh, found it. Strange flipped through one of the pages and whispered, "Soul Praise, Large Cluster Magic Array." You can collect the soul power of all life forms within the range of the formation and shape the Holy Spirit. ”
"Holy Spirit?" Lao Wang's eyes widened, "They want to create a god!" ”
"I don't care what they want to do, this has to be stopped." Strange looked serious.
"Any powerful magic comes at a price, even the white magic from the Book of the Emperor Vishan."
"And the power of this soul salute depends on the number of people in the formation and the devotion of the faith."
"The more devout a person is, the more soul power he gives, and when he exceeds the limit, his soul will crumble. Think about it, how many devout believers will gather that day? ”
Lao Wang swallowed, "The city of Rome has a population of 3.8 million, plus tourists and believers who flocked from all over the world that day, at least nearly 5 million people gathered. ”
Strange clenched his fists, "Nearly half of them will be devout believers, this is a terrible massacre, we must stop it." ”
"This time is different." Lao Wang felt a little headache, "There are 3 billion Christians in the world, do you say they will believe in angels or believe in us magicians hiding in the shadows?" ”
"You have to be careful!" Lao Wang said earnestly.
"Of course." Strange nodded, "This time the matter is too impactful, and the angels' combat power is not very clear, so we need help." ”
"Scarlet Witch left her contact information last time, Johnny Ghost Rider. Blazer can also notify if he wants to find a way, but Li Mo doesn't know where he is floating and needs to find a way to carry out magic communication. Lao Wang said solemnly.
"Don't worry." Strange stood up, "With the Eye of Agamotto, I can connect with him as long as he's still in this universe." ”
…
Stark Tower, New York.
In the central lab, Reed and Tony stand in the two corners of the lab, working on a three-dimensional screen.
In the center is a giant three-dimensional image of the solar system, you can see some small red dots intermittently distributed in the space orbits of the major planets, and the dotted lines connect them, covering the entire solar system.
"Debugging again, establishing axes, and connecting quantum signals," Tony said as he operated.
Ten minutes later, Reed took his eyes off the 3D screen, which was constantly refreshing the data, and a smile appeared on his lips, "I think we need to celebrate with a glass of champagne." ”
"Haha, of course." Tony couldn't help but feel a little proud, "The solar system defense system has been initially established, and in the face of the threat of the universe, we have at least one gun." Jarvis, open a bottle of the same golden bubble wine I brought back from the Galactic Council last time. ”
As soon as the two of them raised their glasses and touched them, a portal appeared in the lab with sparks spinning, and Strange walked out.
Tony and Reed looked at each other, and Tony shrugged, "Maybe we should look into the defense against magic, too." Well, Mr. Magician, what's the point? ”
"Can you contact Li Mo?" Strange looked a little bad.
"I know you're a Supreme Mage, but why should I listen to you?" Tony rolled his eyes, for some reason he always looked at this guy as something unpleasant.
"Mature up, Mr. Stark. The Earth is in crisis, and I need his help. Strange shook his head and said.
Tony pursed his lips and was about to speak when Reed stopped him.
"What's going on, is it urgent?" Reed held out his hand to Strange, "At least tell us what's going on." ”
Strange was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked a question: "Are you Christians?" ”
Tony looked at Reed, then shrugged, "We're more about science. ”
Reed contacted the latest incident and quickly became suspicious, "Is it about the angels who came?" I think they're just creatures of another dimension. ”
"Yes." Strange nodded, "I discovered a conspiracy..."
After Strange finishes speaking, Tony and Reed look at each other.
Tony's face was a little weird, "Wow, it's a lot of fun now." What is it that angels carry out massacres in front of believers all over the world. ”
Reid thought for a while and said, "This matter is a bit troublesome, we must have sufficient evidence, and it would be better if we could solve it quietly." Because if the matter comes to light, I don't know how many of the 3 billion Christians will cause more harm because of the collapse of faith. ”
"There's more to the trouble than that." Strange felt a little tired, "Mephisto, the demon god of hell, has opened a casino in Las Vegas, and no one knows what plot he is planning. ”
Tony covered his forehead with a headache after hearing this, "Here, humanity is celebrating the entry of the interstellar era, and angels and demons are coming at the same time to engage in conspiracy, is this trying to pull the earth back into the Middle Ages?" ”
"This matter really needs Li Mo's help." Reed said as he pulled out the Ignorant Teleportation Bracelet from the box.
However, after pressing the send button, I didn't receive a reply for a long time.
"It's useless, he's not in this universe, he should have gone to an extra dimension, don't you have any other way to get in touch?" Strange was a little helpless.
Tony shook his head, "There's no way, we're on our own." ”
"It doesn't have to be hard." Reed touched his chin, "If we can capture an angel and a demon, we may be able to study its energy composition and create a corresponding weapon." ”
"I'll figure this out," Strange nodded. Suddenly, he stopped talking and looked at a corner of the laboratory, "What people! ”
Tony looked at the corner suspiciously, then ordered Jarvis to do various scans, and couldn't help but say, "You're hallucinating, there's no one there." ”
Strange's face was a little solemn, "Someone snooped on us with magic just now, we can't delay it any longer, I will get you angels and demons as soon as possible." ”
When he was done, he turned around and opened a portal and walked inside.
Tony touched his chin, "Looks like I'm going to develop a set of anti-magic armor." ”
…
Las Vegas, top floor of Soul Casino.
Mephisto withdrew his magic and smiled, "The new Supreme Mage's strength has grown rapidly, but there is not much time left for you. ”
With that, he picked his finger, and a camera device quickly floated into the air, replaying the scene of Strange and Tony talking to them in the lab just now.
"When all the conspiracies come to light, will people believe in God or superheroes in reality?" Mephistopheles had a playful smile on his face.
"I'm really looking forward to it..."
He then summoned a demonic subordinate disguised as a human and tossed the camera device over, "Post this thing online, and I'm going to let everyone know about it." ”
After the demon's subordinates nodded and left, Mephisto came to the floor-to-ceiling window, squinted at the Violet Hotel on the opposite side, and shook his head with some disdain: "It's too timid, okay, I'll give you another chance." ”
After saying that, the spot turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.
In the Violet Hotel, the black-hearted demon stood up and said to Johnny and Doom next to him, "That old bastard Mephisto is gone, let's hurry up." ”
