Chapter 169: The Magician
No!
It's not that the power of the horrible whisper has waned.
Even this time the murmuring was even more crazy than the last time.
To be exact.
It's that Erin's mind at this time is much stronger than when he was promoted last time, and the strength of his mind makes Erin's resistance to those crazy whispers stronger.
Because of this change.
It was only then that Erin had the illusion that this promotion had weakened.
The ethereal murmur, with great fear and temptation, echoed in Erin's ears and mind again.
With one "firework" after another, it continued to explode, and Erin's head began to expand and contract again and again, shrinking and expanding.
In the midst of reincarnation after reincarnation.
Erin's thoughts kept retracting.
Unconsciously, Erin slowly entered a meditative state, constantly restraining his multiplying spirituality.
I don't know how long it took.
When Arryn opened his eyes again, he had gradually gathered most of his strength.
And the promotion of the sequence, the stimulation brought to the body, also began to gradually calm down.
The itching all over the body slowly subsided, and even the arms that flickered and flickered, constantly shifting in transparent and translucent states, returned to their normal appearance.
·········
A few minutes later.
After completely suppressing the last trace of restless spirituality in his body, Erin slowly got up from the couch.
When the slender body stood up completely, a mysterious and charming strange temperament surged out of Erin's body.
From this moment on, Erin really stepped into the threshold of the middle sequence and became an extraordinary "magician".
·········
At the same time as Arryn was successfully promoted.
The balance of fate, hidden above the long river of fate, shook again.
Under the vibration of breathing.
More black spots, as well as air currents, were shaken off by the scales of fate, and then fell into the boundless river of fate, which could not be seen all the time.
With the tumbling of the river of fate.
These wisps of black light continue to merge into the drops of silver light in the long river of fate.
Every drop of water in the long river of destiny is actually the fate of a life.
The wisps of black light, while blending into the drops of river water, are also constantly polluting, changing the original fate of each life.
And for those creatures and even objects that were already polluted by that black point of light.
The black point of light that came again was like a great supplement to them, driving them to mutate again, and the deformation was even more terrifying.
···········
After being successfully promoted to the [Magician] of the middle sequence, Erin moved his body and began to quickly feel the difference between [Magician] and [Joker].
First of all.
Erin's movements seemed to have become much more agile, and even his hands became more agile.
In addition to a weak amplitude to the body.
The magical abilities provided by the potion were also infused into Arryn's mind through a mysterious unknown way, rubbed into his spirit, or rather, engraved on Arryn's genes.
The [Magician] stage is considered powerful in all sequences.
Its extraordinary abilities are even more numerous, and there are many types, and unlike those mages who need to read seconds and chant spells, [magicians] have fast spell casting skills, and Erin's ability does not need to chant spells, does not need to be infused with spirituality, and even only needs a simple action, you can quickly cast the corresponding spell or spell-like ability.
Erin briefly sorted out the mysterious knowledge in his mind, except for some small tricks that were not very practical.
The main abilities in the [Magician] stage are divided into nine types.
One is "Draw Paper as a Soldier",As a spell-like ability in the clown stage,After the promotion sequence seven,This ability has also been strengthened.,Now this spell-like ability,Not only can paper be turned into sharp objects,It can also be temporarily molded into clubs,Bricks and other weapons。
In addition to this ability.
The other abilities in the Magician stage are "Damage Transfer", "Fire Jump", "Air Bullet", "Paper Man Double", "Flame Manipulation", "Illusion", "Breathing Underwater", and "Bone Softening".
"Damage Transfer" can transfer a wound to another location on the same body through contact, turning an otherwise fatal injury into a flesh wound, which is a very useful life-saving ability, but the only pity is that this ability can only be used once in a short period of time, and cannot be used continuously.
At the critical moment of the "Paper Man Double", the magician can briefly turn the paper figure he is carrying into himself and switch positions with himself, in addition to blocking the fatal blow for himself, the "Paper Man Double" can also effectively weaken the curse damage.
These two life-saving abilities can be said to have greatly increased Arin's survivability at once.
And in addition to these two abilities.
"Skeletal softening", which can temporarily soften some of your bones, can break free, and "underwater breathing", which can create an air tube with a length of five meters under the surface of the water.
There is also a 30-meter range that can flash between the flames left behind by itself or the original flames, similar to teleporting "Flame Jump".
All of them greatly enriched Erin's means of escape.
Although it has reached the middle sequence of qualitative changes, the Gou Sanjia deserves to be the Gou Sanjia.
Even if the extremely powerful [magician], most of the core abilities are mainly based on escape and survival.
However·······
I like it.
Except for those abilities that are mainly used to save lives.
Erin also has the spell ability of "manipulating flames", which can manipulate flames within a radius of 30 meters through a few simple actions, turning into flames and incinerating people or objects in this area.
After he has thoroughly digested the [Magician] potion or promoted to a higher sequence, this spell ability of "manipulating fire" can also summon a stream of flames out of thin air.
At that point, it will be a very useful ability to escape with the ability of "Flame Jump" or to attack with summoned flames.
In addition to "manipulating fire", [Magician] can also create "air bullets" that are not inferior to pistols in power and speed by snapping their fingers and simulating sounds, and the effect of this ability will also increase with the increase of Erin's own sequence.
Wait until Erin arrives at the high sequence.
The "Air Bullet" will also become an "Air Cannon" that is as powerful as the cannonball.
In addition to these abilities, of course.
"Illusion-making", who is almost a magician's housekeeper, also attaches great importance to it.
This ability can create colors, sounds, and smells by influencing the surrounding environment····· Near-real illusions, with the effect of confusing humans or all intelligent beings.
This ability is combined with Erin's spiritual cultivation and hypnotic methods.
It will be a nightmare for those who are enemies of Arryn.
·············
After feeling the many abilities in his body that suddenly "awakened", Erin smiled and said, "It seems that tonight is another sleepless night. ”
"Awakened" so many strange extraordinary abilities at one time, if you don't test it well, how can Erin endure it.
Moreover, Ai Lin, who has awakened the ability of "paper man stand-in", must not hurry up and make a batch of paper figures to save his life first!
············
At the same time that Erin was experimenting with his newly awakened abilities after his promotion.
In a heavily guarded building.
Secretly as the leader of Hydra, but outwardly as a minister of the World Security Council, Alexander Pierce is doing his duty as a minister of the World Security Council.
That's scolding!
According to incomplete statistics.
Thousands of people died in the Havoc in Harlem tonight, and countless more are missing or injured.
In the world-class megacity of New York, there has been such a catastrophic death and death.
As a minister of the World Security Council, Alexander Pierce is to blame.
Therefore, in the face of the accountability of countries around the world, and the senior official of the Federal Ministry of Defense who completely abandoned his past qualities and scolded himself, Alexander Pierce could only stand up and be beaten.
I finally waited until the end of the meeting.
Alexander Pierce turned off the link to the video conference and exhaled a cloudy breath.
Picked up a cup of bourbon next to him, took a sip, and then said to a mobile phone next to him that had been showing the call: "Fury, you also heard it just now, this matter in Harlem has too much impact and is too bad." ”
"I need to give an account to the Federation, to the countries of the world, and you ······"
"You need to give me an explanation, too!"
On the other end of the line, after a moment of silence, Nick Fury's voice came: "I'll give you an explanation, Pierce." ”
Look at the phone on the desktop that shows the call hanging up.
Pierce chuckled and placed the phone in a specially built drawer.
After doing all this.
Pierce sat down with his glass of wine and walked slowly through the brightly lit conference room to another dimly lit room next to him.
The moment he entered this room, the aura on Pierce's body suddenly changed.
It seems that in that moment of light and darkness, the righteous and solemn Minister of the World Security Council has also transformed into the Hydra leader hidden behind the scenes.
There was no one else in the dimly lit room except for Pierce's black secretary.
But the laptops in the room slowly emitted a faint blue light.
"Your Excellency, Lord Baron and the Lady are ready to take their seats and start talking at any time."
After lying down on the leather sofa with his wine glass in hand, Pierce said, "Let's get started!" ”
The black long straight female secretary nodded when she heard this, and then nodded on the table.
In the next second, a figure hidden in the darkness appeared on the three laptops.
"Pierce, you're late again!"
As soon as the video was connected, a dissatisfied voice came from the laptop on the left.
But before Pierce could answer, a hoarse female voice came from the laptop on the left.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get straight to the point, those horrible guys that appeared in Harlem, you must have seen it! Pierce, New York is your territory, have you figured out the details of those monsters? ”
Pierce, who was lying on the couch with his head on his back, heard Lady Viper's voice and said loudly: "The Abomination and the Hulk that appeared first can already be determined to be the experimental products of the military Admiral Ross. ”
"Is it already possible for the federal military to create such a powerful monster?" Baron Straker, behind the notebook on the left, heard this, and his voice sank, "It seems that I am going to speed up my experiments as well." ”
"Nope." Pierce shook his head, "According to the information I have received, whether it is the abomination or the appearance of the Hulk, it was an accident, General Ross can't control those two monsters, otherwise, at the beginning, there would not be a big battle between those two guys on the streets of New York." Of course, we can't rule out that Ross will have the possibility of optimizing his experiments and creating the kind of monster that can be manipulated·······"
After Pierce finished speaking, the hoarse female voice also spoke, "The federal military?" I see, my men will infiltrate General Ross and find a way to steal his test data. ”
"But other than that, what about the demons and angels that appeared in the back? Are mythical creatures also starting to appear? ”
Pierce rubbed his temples that were a little swollen and painful when he heard this, and said, "I don't know, so far, I don't have the slightest information about that demon and Seraphim, but Nick Fury seems to have some information, and I will find a way to get it······"
This meeting between the leaders of the major branches of Hydra did not last long.
After exchanging various intelligence information.
The meeting ended immediately.
At the end of the meeting, the computers representing Baron Straker and Lady Viper went out.
Just when the third notebook full of garbled characters was about to go out.
Pierce suddenly spoke, "Dr. Zola, I'm going to speed up the implementation of the Insight Project, I need your help. ”
"Yes!"
The last laptop screen full of garbled characters, after showing the English words that represent OK, also quickly extinguished.
Pierce, who had received Dr. Zola's answer, was relieved.
Wait until all laptop screens are off.
Pierce's black and straight female secretary handed Pierce several photos taken by military satellites.
"Minister, judging by the satellite images and the news that Tony Stark bought a funeral company a few hours ago, the clown who had fought us before had died in the last blow of the mysterious demon. Do we revoke the mandate related to him? ”
Looking at the picture of the clown turned into ashes captured by the military satellite, Pierce said lightly: "Since you are dead, then revoke it!" We don't need to spend too much energy on the dead. ”
"But it's really cheap for him to die like this!"
