Supreme Mage Returns

Coulson felt that after this mission, he ought to read some books on the occult.

His instincts told him that he might often have to deal with figures from the mystical world in the future.

Picking up a blueberry and popping it into his mouth, Harry noticed the change in Coulson's attitude. It seemed this friendly-looking agent had been frightened.

His irritation immediately improved, and he explained, "Kamar-Taj is a sanctuary for mages, a sacred place where Earth's mages study and practice magic. It is also the Supreme Mage's primary residence and the central stronghold of magical power.

"The Crossroads Dimension is a hub connected to multiple dimensions and a major trading ground. I'm a member there, like a VIP member at some private club.

"As for Chaos Controller, it's only because I'm skilled at using Chaos Magic that other mages call me that."

That was not actually the case. Under the Supreme Mage's guidance that time, he had deliberately caused his Chaos Magic to go out of control and had nearly shattered a Hell Dimension.

After word of the incident spread, mages across the multiverse began calling Harry Chaos Controller.

Of course, they had initially called him Chaos Devourer, implying that he could devour everything like chaos itself.

However, Harry did not like that name. He had once paid them a "visit" and coerced them into changing Chaos Devourer to Chaos Controller.

After all, he was a figure on the side of order, a mage who saw protecting Earth as his duty. How could he have a nickname like Chaos Devourer, which sounded like a villainous final boss at first glance?

The moment Coulson realized this conversation was anything but simple, he opened a line to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury could hear Harry's explanation just now.

Nick Fury sat in his office chair, looking grave, his face dark as thunder.

Like Coulson, he had not expected Harry's identity to be so unusual.

He was not a lone operator like Hulk, but a core member of a massive organization.

That meant all their previous plans had to be revised again.

Whether to invite him to join the Avengers also needed to be discussed again.

Nick Fury rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

What was wrong with the intelligence department? After all this time, they had not uncovered a single clue about Kamar-Taj?

Well, they were mages. It was only natural that the intelligence department could not detect them if they had concealment spells from the mystical world.

What worried him most now was whether these mages posed a threat.

Through his earpiece, he instructed Coulson, "Coulson, do your best to befriend the target, and subtly investigate whether Kamar-Taj poses any threat to modern society."

"Don't worry. Kamar-Taj is not an evil organization."

What left Nick Fury and Coulson stunned once more was that Harry answered before Coulson could respond.

They instantly understood what that meant. Harry had long discovered the earpiece hidden in Coulson's ear; he possessed powerful hearing.

Harry had already noticed everything they had done.

Now that they had been exposed, there was no need for Nick Fury to keep hiding. Coulson took out his phone and placed it on the table, allowing Nick Fury to speak directly with Harry.

Nick Fury's low, hoarse voice came through the phone. "Hello, Mr. Potter. I am Nick Fury, Director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."

"Hello, Director Fury."

"Mr. Potter, I have a few questions for you.

"The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division has always operated in the shadows of society. Its primary duty is to monitor and handle supernatural incidents and superhumans appearing on Earth, in order to preserve world peace.

"Therefore, please forgive my presumption, but I need to understand whether Kamar-Taj poses a threat to modern society."

Faced with Nick Fury's suspicion, Harry felt like laughing.

"Director Fury, rather than suspecting that Kamar-Taj, which has existed for thousands of years, might endanger modern society, perhaps you should question whether your own organization poses a threat to modern society.

"For thousands of years, Kamar-Taj has resisted Dimensional Demons and protected Earth from invasions by evil forces from other dimensions.

"Meanwhile, outside the realm of magic, Asgard has also faithfully carried out its duty at all times, protecting Earth from invasions by extraterrestrial forces.

"You could say that Kamar-Taj and Asgard have both played vital roles in preserving Earth's peace to this day.

"And yet your Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, an organization only a few decades old, is questioning us. Don't you find that rather ridiculous?"

The call did not disconnect, but no sound came through.

After Harry's mockery, Fury fell silent.

But that did not mean he admitted fault or completely trusted Kamar-Taj. As the world's foremost spy chief, how could he trust someone so easily based on a few words?

He was merely thinking quickly. Harry's words had revealed a great deal of information.

A few seconds later, Nick Fury asked, "What is Asgard? What connection does it have to the divine realm in Norse mythology?"

"It is exactly what you think, though unlike in myth and legend, the Asgardians are less gods than they are aliens.

"To humans who were still living in primitive societies thousands of years ago, Asgardians who possessed the universe's most advanced technology and magical attainments were no different from gods.

"Earth has also always belonged to the Nine Realms ruled by Asgard—the Midgard of myth and legend."

Harry did not conceal anything. He hoped S.H.I.E.L.D. could become stronger.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. could fight demons invading Earth, Kamar-Taj's workload would be reduced considerably.

Harry had no desire to become as overworked as his teacher by the time he became the Supreme Mage—running all over the place every day, patching up holes wherever they appeared.

Just look at his poor teacher. He had gone bald at such a young age.

Harry thought that perhaps he could arrange a few borrowers within S.H.I.E.L.D.?

His conversation with Nick Fury had been fairly pleasant. Fury's attitude toward Kamar-Taj was excellent, though that was only natural. After all, they couldn't beat Kamar-Taj.

In the Crossroads Dimension, those evil mages had also treated Harry very well.

In clashes between dimensions and civilizations, strength was the greatest truth.

Relations between factions were nothing more than that.

Two more hours passed after Harry's talk with Nick Fury, and the party came to an end.

When Harry found Peter, he was already drunk, cradled in the arms of a hot girl.

Even in his drunken haze, Peter kept mumbling, "Winnie, I can still drink. Come on, cheers!"

Harry was speechless. He didn't need to think about it—just seeing this scene told him exactly what had happened.

Poor Peter had already been hooked by the hot girl Winnie!

After saying goodbye to the equally drunk Tony, Harry carried Peter on his back, opened a portal in a secluded corner, and returned home. Aunt May and Uncle Ben were already asleep.

Harry tossed Peter onto the bed, took a shower, changed clothes, and returned to Kamar-Taj.

At the same time, it was already morning in Kamar-Taj. To Harry's delight, the Supreme Mage who had gone to repair the dimensional rift had actually returned!
