Chapter 168: It's Obedient

Dormammu was temporarily driven back to his lair, but there was still a lot of work left for the Kama Taj mages. The magic network that protects the earth has been severely damaged, and the conquered temples in New York and London are in urgent need of reconstruction, and the vitality of the temples is greatly damaged. Many mages were killed in this battle, including the Supreme Mage Gu Yi himself, and the losses were not insignificant.

Not long afterward, Master Mordo unsurprisingly left Kama Taj. He had stayed here because of his unwavering belief in the path of the Ancient One, who lived by the Ancients as saints and revered her teachings. But then he found out that his master had deceived everyone and sucked the power of darkness behind their backs—the forbidden realm she had warned them never to touch. Unable to bear this betrayal, he became suspicious of what he had been defending to the death, and eventually chose to part ways with the Temple.

As the new Supreme Mage, Doctor Strange's next task is undoubtedly quite difficult. As far as he is concerned, he is actually not worthy of the title of "Supreme Mage" for the time being. The Ancient One chose him as his successor because he had infinite potential and a mind to match it, but his days as a mage were still short, and his cultivation was far from being able to class.

But it's not a big deal to worry about. He's a quick learner (in fact, he has an incredibly powerful protagonist aura), and it won't be long before he'll be able to match his title.

In addition, although the Eye of Agamotto was returned to Doctor Strange, Michael was still very interested in the knowledge of the spells recorded in the magic book, in fact, in his opinion, the content of the spells of the original Supreme Mage Agamotto on how to apply the power of the infinite primordial stone was more precious than the primogem itself. Michael has learned about sixty percent of the spells related to the Eye of Agamotto, and can effectively apply them to actual combat and fight off Dormammu, but there are actually some inscrutable spells in the book that he has not yet been able to understand.

If he can get his hands on other primordial stones one day, the knowledge of wanting to develop spells that use the power of other primordial stones is the best reference.

The new Supreme Mage, Doctor Strange, was also generous, and he directly gave Michael the permission to borrow any of the books in the Kama Taj Library at will, as long as he was free. Michael also promised to come and communicate with Strange when he had time, exchange knowledge and deepen understanding, and help him enter the role of Supreme Mage faster.

Not to mention the affairs of the temple, there are still a lot of things to deal with on the side of the Heavenly Sword.

Michael looked at the ratings and overall level of the two new team members, and both of them looked quite satisfactory. The first is Jessica Jones, this weird female detective has no knowledge of martial arts, and fights are completely based on brute force, but her brute force is indeed stronger than expected. In one of the tests, her extreme arm strength exceeded fifteen tons, and with some martial arts training, she should be able to fight quite well.

Of course, the combat training part has to be left to the Winter Soldier again. Sergeant Barnes's prowess in martial arts is indisputable, and no one in the entire Heavenly Sword can match the traditional fighting techniques.

Then there's the Venom that came in as a windfall in this incident. If Jessica, who is monotonous in superpowers, is more valuable than her insight and mind as a detective, then Venom's value is purely her powerful and ever-changing combat ability.

First and foremost as Spider-Man's nemesis, Venom has the strength, speed, and reflexes above Spider-Man, and is equally adept at climbing. Although he can't shoot spider silk like Spider-Man, the symbiote that attaches to the host like an exoskeleton suit can change into any form, in addition to turning into various weapons, it can also shoot like spider silk, and it also has a strong stickiness, but it looks more like tentacles.

During combat, Venom will be attached to the host in the form of an exoskeleton suit, and the symbiote will provide strong defense in the possessed state, at least through conventional bullets and grenades. And even if an attack penetrates the armor's defenses and injures the host, the symbiote can still provide a very strong self-healing ability. Most injuries can be remedied in time, and even broken hands and feet can be straightened on the spot and recovered instantly, without leaving even a scar.

In addition, Venom also has the ability to metamorphose, which can help the host transform into other people's appearances. Or the symbiote can also forcibly occupy the host's body if it wants, and the host is like its car, which is equivalent to the symbiote can mentally manipulate some targets that are easier to manipulate within a certain limit in the form of possession.

If you think of this symbiote as an exoskeleton suit, it's natural to think about whether you can carry some more powerful weapons in it. After testing, it seems that this idea does work. The symbiote is capable of assembling dismantled parts back to their original appearance in a fraction of the time, allowing it to carry a variety of complex weaponry. When performing tasks, it can wrap various equipment parts in the symbiotic body in advance, and can instantly select the corresponding equipment and assemble it when needed.

As a murderous alien symbiote, the control of Venom could have been a problem. However, what is surprising is that this alien symbiote has shown unexpectedly active cooperation and enthusiasm in the work of "joining the Heavenly Sword to maintain world peace".

...... Especially when the Scarlet Witch told it to do something.

Every time Wanda spoke, Venom would whisper in the ear of its host, Eddie Bullock, "I think we should listen to her." Then Eddie would make no secret of his disdain for his confession.

Needless to say, the Scarlet Witch showed her power in their first encounter and violently beat the gigantic Venom back to its original form, and that experience obviously left a deep psychological shadow on Venom. By analogy, Venom is a ferocious and ferocious lion, and Wanda is the equivalent of an animal trainer. Once the lion has been whipped by the trainer's whip to the point of forming a memory, it will no longer dare to disobey the trainer in the slightest.

But the little witch herself was completely unaware of this. She even expressed her bewilderment at Jessica's aversion to Venom.

"Don't look at it as fierce on the outside, it's actually very obedient." Wanda explained to Jessica in a serious way, "It's like a husky." ”

The venom next door that was overheard by a keen hearing: "! #¥%......”
