Demon Invasion

"So... come out and say hello to this world!"

A massive portal suddenly appeared in the sky. It resembled a gaping maw, exuding a chilling aura.

"Roar, roar, roar—"

Immediately after, demons began flying out. They had various forms: some with sharp fangs, others clad in thick scales, and some wielding enormous wings.

These demons rained down like meteorites, their impact cracking the ground and kicking up dust.

Reporters and cameras that hadn't fled faithfully recorded the moment. Everyone watching on their televisions froze, eyes glued to the screen, unable to believe the sight before them.

The demons' ferocious faces and terrifying presence, transmitted through the lens, instantly spread fear throughout the hearts of everyone watching.

The once boisterous world seemed to fall silent at that moment, leaving only the low roars of the demons and the heavy breathing of the people.

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

Logan watched the shocking scene on the television, his cigar falling to the floor with a "snap." His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

He muttered, "You, a Demon King, are asking us to steal things? Are you kidding me!"

Jean, standing nearby, keenly sensed Logan's different emotions and asked, "Logan, do you know him?"

Logan frowned, grunting in response, "Yeah, he's the one who recommended me to come here."

Cyclops, standing beside them, pressed his fingers tightly against his glasses, his gaze warily fixed on Logan. He asked suspiciously, "You're not a demon too, are you?"

"Jerk."

Logan was thoroughly annoyed; he'd disliked the pretty boy from the moment they met.

At this moment, Professor X spoke, "Logan, he is not a demon. I met him a long time ago."

Professor X's voice was steady and gentle, carrying a reassuring power.

Jean looked worried. "Professor, should we go help?"

Professor X gazed at the scene on the television screen and slowly said, "Observe first, don't act rashly."

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury stared at the demon army summoned by Kino on the screen and cursed, "Motherfucker."

His single eye was filled with rage and shock. This guy was even more terrifying than Captain Marvel; he actually had an army of demons.

He yelled into his communicator, "Coulson, no matter what it takes, get to that Demon King and get him on the phone!"

Coulson, on the other end of the line, was silent for a moment before replying with a helpless tone, "Director, I can't move right now."

"Why?"

"Because there's a demon over two meters tall staring at me," Coulson's voice trembled slightly.

"...Motherfucker."

Nick Fury cursed again.

He took a pager from his pocket. Should he use it? But by the time Carol arrived, the nation would already be history.

At the scene, General Ross watched the endless stream of demons appearing in the sky, his face ashen.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his lips trembled, and his legs involuntarily shook.

His eyes were filled with fear and disbelief; his former confidence and arrogance had vanished.

"Now, do you still think this is fake?"

Kino asked with a hint of a playful smile.

Suddenly, Kino felt his cloak being tugged. He turned his head.

"Kino, are you really going to start a war with this nation?" Gwen asked in a small voice, her eyes full of worry.

"Of course not, just scaring him a little. I don't want to manage a country." Kino glanced around. I've caused such a commotion, why haven't they shown up yet?

Time suddenly froze. A slip of paper abruptly appeared before Kino.

Kino looked up and carefully read the contents of the note.

"Don't rush. It's not time for us to meet yet, and you've attracted Mephisto's attention."

Kino fell into deep thought. It's not time for us to meet yet.

Did the Time Stone see something? Or did my future self do something?

He had wanted to use this opportunity to draw out the Ancient One and ask some questions, but the Ancient One didn't appear.

Instead, he attracted Mephisto's attention.

Time resumed.

Gwen looked at Kino holding a piece of paper and asked, "When did a piece of paper appear in your hand?"

"A bald guy gave it to me."

Kino rubbed his hand together, and the paper vanished without a trace.

Gwen didn't ask any more questions.

"Hey, make way, make way. Kino and I are friends."

Tony's voice cut through the crowd as he strode forward with confidence, instantly easing the tension.

He arrived beside Kino, clapping him on the shoulder and grinning, "Buddy, I didn't expect you to be a Demon King. You better take good care of me when I get to Hell."

Kino raised an eyebrow and replied, "No problem."

Tony blocked General Ross's view and quietly asked, "Kino, are you planning to rule this world?"

"No, I have no interest in that. Ruling Hell is troublesome enough. I'm just letting the world know not to mess with me."

"That's good. Can you help me put on a show?"

"Sure, you owe me a favor."

Tony looked at the surrounding demons, then turned to Kino and shouted, "Can you give me some face here, buddy? Send these demons back, and I promise this guy will face a court-martial."

Kino was silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over General Ross and the surrounding soldiers. Then, he nodded, "For your sake, I'll let it slide this time."

With Kino's command, the demons turned into black smoke and retreated back into the Portal, leaving only Yū and Mora behind.

General Ross secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the surrounding soldiers relaxed their tense nerves.

Being surrounded by demons was an immense pressure.

People across the globe watching on TV never expected a playboy to save the world, and so nonchalantly at that.

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

"Is that Kino guy really that close with that playboy?" Logan relit a cigar and took a puff.

"Logan, we should pay him a visit sometime."

At Stark Industries, Obadiah smashed a wine bottle, glaring furiously at the live broadcast.

"How is Tony involved with this Demon King!"

Although this demon invasion ended anticlimactically, most people could tell that the Demon King had no intention of ruling Earth. It was more of a warning, but the fact remained that he commanded a Demon Army.

Consequently, various organizations began collecting information on mythical worlds and Kino, while also issuing orders not to provoke that Demon King.

Tony also knew he owed a significant favor this time.
