Chapter 387: Regent [I]

Silent City.

Luke's lab.

"Oh my God! What's going on here? Was it invaded? Nick Fury and Stephen Strange were shocked to see the change in style, some of which looked like the interior scenes of the magical apocalypse, and panicked.

"Who can hack into Luke's lab? Do you know how much protection the Silent City has? If you don't have coordinates, you won't even be able to find it. At best, find Mingcheng. Kama Taj has built at least two enchantments here! Unless it's an internal problem, so serious that Luke doesn't have time to deal with it. Stephen said unceremoniously.

"Can you open that portal?" Nick asked Stephen if he remembered that the Supreme Mage had a privilege here.

"No, the surrounding energy is too chaotic, and it is difficult to form the space door stably." Stephen shook his head. He had already tested it just now, and the psionic energy around him was like being caught in a storm, not to mention the portal, and the composition of many spells had been affected. For a mage, this is equivalent to hanging a DEbuff with a greatly reduced strength.

"So what are we going to do? Do you think we'll be able to leave unharmed? Nick asked in a low voice as he peeked behind the pillar and glanced at some kind of ghost-like black spirit floating in front of him.

"I find it difficult." Stephen gave Nick a look, and almost immediately, his body rushed forward towards one side of the ground almost close to the ground.

Nick had a stirring spirit in his heart, and almost subconsciously activated the psionic ring on his body, and under a golden light, he pulled out a long golden phantom around him.

Two hooded, black monsters with black faces like black cloaks, were silently hovering around the stone pillars, their empty eyes hidden under the hoods, as if staring at Stephen and Nick.

"Damn, what the hell is this monster! It scares me! This shouldn't be! Nick looked at the two monsters in shock, and he sensed something familiar from them.

Wouldn't this be Luke's latest creation, and then get out of hand?

"It's the abyss!" Nick could only vaguely perceive it, but now the Supreme Mage Stephen, who was almost bound to psionic energy, was the first to notice where the uneasiness and weirdness in his heart came from!

He's dealt with the Abyss more than once! Although he has never been bold enough to go deep into the interior of the abyss, he is also one of the people who know the abyss best and have come into contact with the power of the abyss. Even if the energy carried by these monsters in front of him made him feel that it was still different from the abyss, the kind of depression and despair were exactly the same! It's like a creature born out of some kind of abyss!

He and Nick thought of the same possibility, that is, these monsters were either creatures born naturally from the abyss, or they were monsters that Luke had borrowed from the abyss, but they were now out of control.

Nick and Stephen believe in Luke's skill and prowess, but they also know that once it comes to the abyss, it's troublesome. After all, the original abyss was a toss, and Mephisto and Dormammu had a headache, and they had no choice but to turn to Luke for help.

"You're not mistaken?" Nick was also stimulated by the word abyss, and the golden light on his body dimmed for a while. Although he had not dealt with the power of the Abyss like Stephen, he was aware of the existence of the Abyss and kept it sealed as the highest machine of S.H.I.E.L.D. He knew what kind of terrifying power the abyss was, and what it could do!

"Isn't there a warning in the Abyss Dimension? I remember that the Ancient One Mage was in charge of the Abyss Warning, right? As soon as Nick finished speaking, he was cold, and subconsciously used the power of the ring to be pulled out of the void by a certain distance, and saw another black monster rushing down from top to bottom on the high ceiling.

A cursory glance around, in the empty hall, there were about thirteen of them as far as the eye could see. To make matters worse, at least five of them had already spotted them and appeared to be prey to hunting.

Stephen also ran wild at the first time. The levitating cloak was also aware of the danger, and almost dragged its master in an abstract curve around the stone pillars in the hall to create afterimages.

Nick was not far behind the blessing of the ring, a golden chain of energy connected to Stephen's body, turned into a rope to tie his waist, and looked like the front of a car pulling the body, running in unison to kill him.

"I don't know, I haven't heard anything." Stephen was mentally communicating with Nick through the energy chain on his waist.

"So what? Are we going to find Luke now? "Nick thinks people are going crazy.

"We can't do without it now. Barriers and prohibitions arose outside. No living thing, even a dead thing, can escape from the outer enchantments and prohibitions. From this point of view, at least it shows that Luke is still normal and is actively saving and sorting out the situation. Stephen affirmed. At present, it seems that the two of them may not be able to solve this situation smoothly. Now he could only hope that Luke was not seriously affected, otherwise they would be in big trouble. Now I can't even send communications. The surrounding psionic energy is too chaotic.

"I think you'd better hurry. Otherwise, we may be caught up soon. Nick spoke. Stephen glanced behind him, and saw five or six black monsters floating in the air, catching up at a speed that seemed to be slow, but in fact flickered forward like a folded space. The closest one was almost touching Nick's ass.

The levitation cloak on Stephen's body was as straight as it was fried, and then it rushed straight out at maximum speed in an instant. The speed was so fast that Stephen felt his bones creaking.

But those black monsters still seemed to follow unhurriedly, no matter how the levitation cloak accelerated, changed direction, and dodged, the other party could always keep up with it steadily, constantly approaching.

Even the closest one was less than a meter or so away from Nick, who was hanging behind. In the unbelievable high-speed movement, the other party stretched out a pair of dry palms from the black cloak woven by black spiritual energy, and the palms were like bones wrapped in a layer of skin, and the other party slowly stretched out to Nick in Nick's terrifying gaze.

A suction force appeared from the dry palms, and the golden energy coat on Nick's body overflowed in the direction of the dry palms, and wisps of light particles like smoke and mist overflowed in the direction of the dry palms. The energy stored in the psionic ring on Nick's hand was like a twisted faucet in an instant, and the balance of energy output was disturbed, and it flowed out frantically and replenished.

At the same time, Nick's whole heart couldn't help but give birth to a lot of gloomy and desperate emotions, if it weren't for the psionic ring still protecting his body and consciousness, I'm afraid his current spirit has experienced the shallow pollution of the abyss, and then began to change.

"Stephen!" Nick frantically called Stephen in his head.

A series of note-like magic played a magnificent and passionate music in the air, which could resonate with people's hearts, bypassing Nick and swaying out from Stephen's open palm in the direction of Nick, bombarding the black monster in front of Nick.

Stephen's state at the moment is that the levitation cloak is dragging him and Nick in front of him to run wildly, and he is turning around, with the levitation cloak in front, and he is facing the direction of Nick behind.

The black monster ate Stephen's spell attack solidly, and the black body retreated like an electric shock. The gloom and gloom of Nick's mood were suddenly cleared up a lot, and the flow of energy stored in the psionic ring was greatly reduced. The ring's airtight complete shelter recovers the whole body and becomes stable.

"Thank you." After a moment of horror, Nick was dragged to Stephen's side, took a breath and thanked him.

"Don't rush to thank you just yet. We've got to find a way to get rid of those guys. "Stephen has realized that if he can't find a way to get rid of these monsters, they will catch up halfway before they reach Luke's lab. To make matters worse, they couldn't determine exactly how many black monsters there were in this Luke's test base. And is the number of places in front of you more or less?

If the deeper they go, the more such monsters there are, then their behavior is tantamount to moths to fire. But worse than that was the path they could take at the moment, and there seemed to be no better way to find Luke.

"What are you going to do?" Nick also understood Stephen's idea, and he agreed. After all, the speed of those monsters is not slow, no matter what speed they fly, the other party can keep up with it steadily, and even keep getting closer. In this case, there is no doubt that a simple escape will not be able to run far.

"Let's find a way to solve them first." Stephen made up his mind. Although the chaotic psionic energy around them has a great influence on the release of spells, there are still many spells that can be successfully cast. Among them was the note psionic magic he had created in a flash of inspiration.

"What are you going to do? Your spells don't seem to work against them. Nick watched as the unscathed black monster caught up again, and was troubled by the difficulty and strength of the monsters. The power of the attacks from those note explosions was clearly felt by him, each of which was enough to bombard the energy suit on his body to the ground, and even if it was the protection of the highest level of the energy suit, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. At that time, I am afraid that in addition to the spiritual energy ring on his hand, he will still be able to survive, and the whole person may be blown to pieces. It's terrifyingly powerful.

But it was this kind of spell that smashed a monster, and it didn't do any damage except for making the other party take a few steps back, which was simply terrifying.

"If one doesn't work, change to another." Stephen waved his hands to the sides, his fingers swinging rapidly in the air like an orchestra conductor, and notes jumped and poured out from between his waving fingers, and the notes flew around him, forming a large spherical cocoon that kept him and Nick in the circle. Finally, as the last note returns, Stephen's gesture disperses into a cloud of flying fireworks in the air, and then reforms a note Ouroboros in the air, encircling the five black monsters in the center.

"It worked!" A moment later, looking at the monsters who were still unable to break through the block of the notes, Nick's tense heart breathed a sigh of relief and said in surprise.

"No, it's just a temporary limit." Stephen didn't have Nick's surprise, Nick was limited by his vision and perception and couldn't accurately detect subtle anomalies, but as this spell caster, he knew very well that although his spells did limit those monsters, this restriction required a lot of energy to replenish.

Little by little, the monsters were weakening and wearing down the Ouroboros' power. As a proud spell of Stephen, this spell known for its restraint and prohibition has the property of automatically absorbing various energies of the Void Dimension for transformation to maintain its own existence. It can be said that as long as there is a continuous replenishment of external energy, this spell can exist forever.

But the current situation is that the energy replenished by the Ouroboros is not as fast as the speed at which it is worn out and consumed by the black monsters. That is, this spell can only trap them for a short time at the moment.

But that's enough.

The levitation cloak accelerated again, and the figures of Stephen and the two quickly disappeared into the hall.

The two ran wildly all the way, and finally had to stop when they approached their destination. Because in front of them, there were dozens or hundreds of black monsters floating in dense. Like loyal guards, they wander on the way to Luke's core lab.

"It looks like the worst has happened."

Stephen and Nick were in a heavy mood. There was a dead end in front of them, and the shadowy black monsters had reappeared in the rear, and the five monsters seemed to recognize the two of them, and after escaping the trap, they caught up with them almost front and back in a way that no one could be sure of.

Forward and backward pinching.

This is terrible!

"Can you restrain them a little longer?" Nick's eyes looked at Stephen, who was ugly.

"There is a limit to that spell model, I can use it again, but I'm afraid it will be broken free in an instant." Stephen also had a bit of a headache. These monsters seem to be immune to any attack, and the only thing that can restrict them is some forbidden bondage spells. But these spells can't really ban them for too long. The most important thing is that these monsters [have a good memory], judging from the footsteps of the five behind them who persevered to catch up, once they are targeted, they will inevitably chase you and can't get rid of it.
