Although it was a matter of studying Peter and Venom, the two did not show up, because the two of them were too excited, and now they were physically together, and for this reason, several symbiotes did not come over, watching their movements in the space battlefield.

Only Schiller, Stark, Steve, and Strange arrived, as well as Natasha representing S.H.I.E.L.D. and Connors, who was well-versed in biology.

Strange created a strangely shaped magic circle in the air, the whole was composed of various polygons, the periphery was a circle, and there were many sharp arrows, the other people on the scene could not understand this pattern, Strange explained:

"The earth is special, therefore, the human beings on the earth are also special, and the belief of human beings is a very useful tonic for the demon god, so even if it is the kind of demon god who no longer needs to improve his strength, he will not mind having one more supplement, such as the Lord of the Crimson Dimension."

"However, in order to prevent these demon gods from preaching indiscriminately and disturbing the ecology of the earth, the Holy of Holies also has a part of its duty, which is to control the outflow of human beliefs, if human beliefs can be spread casually, those demon gods will definitely attack the earth even more frantically when they taste the sweetness."

With a wave of Strange's hand, the magic array slowly spread out and turned into a full sphere, and the rest of the people saw that this was a model of the earth, but the sky above the earth was surrounded by golden traces.

"This is Earth's magical defense network?" Stark asked with some confusion, when he was clearing the Earth Demon God, he had seen it in Innate.

"That's right, this thing can not only prevent the invasion of foreign demon gods, but also stop the outflow of human beliefs, of course, it will not be completely cut off, but it will filter out most of it."

"Moreover, it also plays a monitoring role, once the flow of a demon god's belief suddenly becomes active, it means that he may have something to do on the earth, which is why the ancient mage can find out the demon god who is causing chaos on the earth very quickly."

"Oh, I see......" Natasha said with her arms crossed, "is this actually a trap?" The purpose of the demon god coming to the earth is to believe, but once it develops believers and believes, the supreme mage will immediately find out, and then follow the channel of his faith and cut him down. ”

Strange nodded, gave Natasha a thumbs up, and said, "That's right, very incisive, and overall, that's it." ”

"No wonder, when I heard the story of the Supreme Mage before, I was thinking about how she pulled out the demon gods." Connors said with some sighs: "Sure enough, as long as you are human, you will understand that force alone will not work, and you must be wise." ”

"From this defense network, I can look at the flow of faith inside the earth, and I extract the power of faith from Peter, and then compare it with the beliefs that have been recorded in the network."

"The result?" Schiller asked.

"No identical belief has been found, that is, it has never existed, and it is not some demon god we know who has projected the power of faith on them." …

"What's going on?" Stark was very puzzled and said, "Could it be that Peter can still be a new demon god?" ”

"I also thought it was very strange, so I investigated it carefully, and I found that there was no trace of this faith on the defense network, which is actually very strange." Strange looked at the orb and said as he thought about it, "Whether it is launched from the earth or projected from the outside, there should be traces on this network, but strangely, this belief in Peter is different, it seems to come from another level......"

Hearing these words, Schiller's heart gradually had an answer, so. He began to say, "Do you remember the bat invasion in the first place? ”

"Perhaps, neither Nick nor I ever told you the truth, but the truth is, this is a game we have teamed up to do in order to ......"

Schiller briefly recounted the cause and effect of the whole thing, and then he got to the point: "In order to convince those vampires that there really is such a bat god, so that they attacked New York without being prepared, I made Venom live in symbiosis with Peter, and made the Venom bat, which is the giant bat monster you saw in the sky over New York before. ”

"Wait a minute, so, you made that?" Steve glared at Schiller and said, "But...... Do you know how many people died there? ”

"If I don't, by the time the vampires actually invade New York, more people will die." Schiller said very calmly: "I said before, the vampires have a plan for this, once they are fully prepared and sneak in, the consequences will be more serious, fishing them out in advance and catching them off guard is also part of the plan." ”

Steve opened his mouth and seemed to retort, but Stark touched him with his arm, and Steve had to sigh and admit Schiller's statement.

After all, reason had told him that if the big bats had made all the preparations and then attacked New York, it would not just be a matter of a bridge, and the whole city would be in a bitter battle.

"Let's not mention this, the point is that that that is the only point in time when Venom and Peter have a connection, and the way to make a connection is a so-called god, which coincides with the power of faith."

"But the problem is, the bat god was made up by you, so who would really believe in it?" Strange was very puzzled and said: "Humans all regard this monster as an enemy, even if some mavericks who want to destroy the world believe in him, but the faith of one or two humans is useless, and it will definitely not constitute such a strong power of faith." ”

"I think we'll have to call Peter and Venom over and ask what the hell is going on." Schiller proposed, saying, "What happened in the end, I'm afraid only the two of them know." ”

By the time they both were called, Peter could barely communicate, Venom was already screaming, and Eddie couldn't control him at all, and kept banging his head against the wall.

Fortunately, the lost venom was relatively easy to deal with, and a few symbiotes plus Steve held him down, Peter tried to think about it, and then said: ...

"I remember, a bald mage in a yellow robe descended, and Venom said to her three times five times ......"

"Peter, concentrate on recalling, we want all the details, the kind that you can remember, you can remember, it's not difficult for you......" Schiller guided Peter to recall, and soon Peter remembered the scene.

At that time, when the ancient one came, her attitude was not friendly, and the time was condensed when they first met, and after that, she seemed to have some doubts, and then began to meditate on the spot, communicating with the existence behind her.

She sat down cross-legged and muttered to herself for a long time, what totem to say...... The power of the beast totem...... What a newborn totem, I don't understand at all. Peter shook his head, looking a little confused, and then continued, "After that, she began to bargain with Venom, and she said, 'The totem of the newborn, I can help you, but it will be ten times back' or something. ”

Strange and Schiller looked at each other, and Strange repeated it, "Are you sure she said the 'totem of the newborn'?" ’

Peter nodded, and said, "Yes, she repeated it several times, so I remember very clearly, it must have been these words." ”

Strange showed a knowing expression, and after Peter left, he began to explain to several people what the beast totem was.

"To put it simply, it's a mysterious force that exists in the universe, but it doesn't exist in a single universe, it's on top of it......" Strange glanced at Stark as he said this, and Stark nodded at him slightly, indicating that he had indeed seen it.

"No one knows how the totem was born, but the totem chooses different people to give them power and gain faith from their activities......"

"Peter is the one chosen by the spider totem." Stark spoke first, and Schiller then added: "He is destined to become Spider-Man, and even if he is not bitten in the laboratory, he may be bitten at home, or on the road, because Spider Totem chose him." ”

"However, I didn't see any new totems." Stark said in a puzzled tone, "The spider totem is not a totem of newborn, is it?" Didn't it pick Peter Parker a long time ago? ”

"Perhaps, there is indeed a new totem that has appeared." Schiller said while thinking: "Although the bat god is man-made, it is not the first time that the bat species has appeared in the world, and it is also a member of the beast, so it is not surprising that a totem was born." ”

What Schiller didn't say is that the bats represented by Batman are different from wild bats, Batman's bats have attributes such as "darkness" and "fear", and the venom that once parasitized Batman may also have some occult attributes, and it makes sense that a unique bat totem will be born from him.

"The only problem we have to solve now is to figure out where this belief came from." Stark speculated: "Since the beast totem does not come from within the universe and can absorb faith between various universes, then, this belief in Peter may not come from this universe either, so it makes sense why the earth's defense network has not moved, it may come from a higher level, and the defense network cannot capture it." ”…

"Since we have made this conjecture, we might as well verify it, Stephen, is the power of faith in Peter still growing?" Schiller turned to Strange and asked.

Strange nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "Indeed, this power is still growing, and the pace of growth is not slow. ”

"I guess that it may be that after the totem grows to a certain extent, he can start to absorb the power of faith, and now is just the beginning of the stage, so the power of faith accumulated before has been poured into the two of them in one go, causing them to be a little excited now."

"Why does the power of faith cause people to become excited?" Connors asks a question, and although he doesn't understand the occult, he wants to explore the rationale.

Strange explained: "The power of faith is similar to an energy source, which can greatly increase the strength of a person's soul, and once the soul becomes stronger and stronger, it will go beyond the category of ordinary people, abandon the body, and become a demon god, many demon gods who have gone out of the earth are produced in this way." ”

"At first, they may just be human beings worshiped by others, but because the quality of human beliefs is very high, after these faith powers are infused into their souls, their souls will be sublimated, and after accumulating to a certain extent, they can abandon their bodies and travel the universe at will, so that they will become a new kind of life - the Cosmic Demon God."

"Of course, there are also humans who don't become demon gods by faith, but they must find an energy source to increase the strength of their souls, and then the road will be the same."

"Okay, we'll talk about that later, let's first verify whether this power of faith comes from outside the universe." Schiller said as he turned around and held out his hand to Stark, who looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Give me your magical energy, I'll recharge it."

"You mean ......"

"If you go up and take a look again, won't you know?"

"Can't you just go up?"

"I'm just a normal person."
