Chen Ji had piqued everyone's interest, but then suddenly started eating steak.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Tony Stark, in particular, was incredibly anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, his expression restless and agitated.

He touched upon a secret that no one else knew about.

However.

When he tried to use his intelligence to resolve the potential threat, Chen Ji surprisingly remained silent!

This!

Stark's eyes flickered, and finally, unable to contain his curiosity, he hurriedly asked.

"Chen, what exactly happened in this dangerous incident you mentioned? Who caused it? Even Odin, the king of the gods and leader of Kamar-Taj, couldn't quell it?"

"So you shared this information with me to get my help...?"

Tony Stark's gaze shifted.

His guesses were all reasonable!

After all, Chen Ji had no reason to communicate with him about a disaster of this magnitude.

Unless...

Chen Ji wants to cooperate with him!

As Cursed by Knowledge, his level of wisdom was simply ahead of his time.

No matter the knowledge or the problem, it will all crumble on its own and be easily solved.

Certainly.

Tony Stark was unaware of his talent, but instinctively sensed that Chen Ji had ulterior motives!

This is a truly high-end game!

Happy Hogan, Pepper Potts, and Steve Rogers were completely dumbfounded.

The brain almost stopped functioning.

I never expected Tony Stark to think of helping him!

Only Nick Fury, with his single, piercing gaze, seemed to be plotting something, his expression calm and composed, revealing almost no emotion.

"Tony."

"That's right."

"The reason I came here is to get your help, or more precisely, to get the help of the Avengers."

"War is about to begin."

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Ji's eyes.

He simply nodded without hesitation.

The words had barely left his mouth.

Nick Fury was finally moved.

The Avengers Initiative!

It's still just on paper and hasn't been actually implemented yet. For now, he's only revealed the plan to his two closest confidants, Phil Coulson and Maria Hill.

The Mystic Arts Mage before me...

How did they find out about the Avengers Initiative?

Could there be a spy within S.H.I.E.L.D..?

"Etc."

"Coulson and Hill couldn't possibly be spies."

Nick Fury frowned.

I'm completely baffled!

"List."

What help can you get from me?

"I'm just an ordinary billionaire and superhero."

"He is not worthy of being compared to Odin at all."

Tony Stark shrugged.

This is his honest opinion.

Odin.

The king of the gods in Norse Mythology.

What even Odin couldn't solve, he can solve?

That's utterly a fantasy!

"You now..."

"Just starting to research the Mark 7 Armor? You're certainly not qualified to fight alongside me."

"However, with your genius mind, it's only a matter of time before you crack the modular assembly technology and nanotechnology."

Five years.

"Five years from now, the Earth will collapse. Before that happens, I hope you can apply nanotechnology to your armor!"

Chen Ji opened his right hand and extended five fingers.

These words sent a jolt through Tony Stark's mind and sent a storm raging through his chest.

List...

How do we know he's researching the Mark 7?

Divination?

Or is it about predicting the future?

Five years?

"Will the Earth collapse?"

"Why?"

"List."

Please stop speaking in riddles.

Steve Rogers looked grave and spoke hastily.

If Earth were to collapse, not only would the Federal Government be wiped out, but all civilizations would cease to exist.

This is a burden that humanity cannot bear!

As a survivor of World War II, he was acutely aware of the destruction and devastation it brought!

This war...

Could this be World War III?

Who initiated it?

Steve Rogers was completely in the dark.

Although he was not afraid of war, he also did not want it to break out!

"This war did not originate from any country, any regime, or even any single individual or organization."

"But instead..."

"From outside the universe."

Chen Ji sighed deeply.

Appropriate pressure and setbacks can lead to a technological explosion.

If he were to reveal the truth, everyone would likely fall into despair and lose the motivation to fight.

Therefore, he decided to shoulder everything alone, using all his resources and wisdom to try to stop the Divine Awakening!

He certainly doesn't want Earth to become Weird World.

But...

Another problem then arises.

Weird World.

There were almost no living people present.

If the strange phenomena only evolved from plants and animals, then where did the living go?

Doctor Strange, The Avengers, Kamar-Taj, Asgard...

Why did they all disappear into thin air?

Who exactly created this Weird World?

Chen Ji remains unknown.

Perhaps, in the not-too-distant future, the answer will come to light on its own.

Is it possible... that this crisis never happened at all...?

"Is he joking?"

Happy Hogan was already confused and couldn't help but interrupt everyone's thoughts.

Earth.

How could it possibly be in imminent danger?

That's utterly alarmist!

Happy.

"I believe in Chen."

"Chen... has absolutely no reason to fabricate such a lie and deceive us. What benefit would he gain? What benefit would he need?"

Tony shook his head.

He immediately rejected Happy Hogan's opinion.

"Ha."

"I was just saying it offhand."

Happy looked completely embarrassed.

Indeed.

Chen Ji deceived Tony Stark without reason or motive.

Besides, would Tony Stark be so easily fooled? Would he readily trust a Mystic Arts Mage of unknown origin?

He's Super Genius!

One of the Smartest People on Earth.

Looking across the entire planet, only Dr. Bruce Banner, Reed Richards, and Dr. Hank Pym can be compared to him.

Apart from that, it's all 'trash'!

"So..."

"List."

"Interested in becoming a member of the Avengers?"

Nick Fury extended a warm invitation.

His uncharacteristic behavior left Tony Stark speechless.

"It seems someone said that a magician of unknown origin should not be allowed to participate in his Avengers Initiative."

"Pepper."

"Who said that again?"

Tony wore a mocking expression.

Nick Fury, with his thick skin, completely ignored his teasing and looked at Chen Ji with one eye, awaiting his reply.

"Feel sorry."

"I am the Acting Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj."

"They have their own responsibilities and missions."

"If you need my help, just go to 177A Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village and tell them you're looking for me."

Chen Ji politely declined.

"Accompanying... the Sorcerer Supreme?"

"Second only to one person, above ten thousand?"

"So you had this kind of identity before?"

Nick Fury and Tony Stark exchanged a speechless glance.

Acting Sorcerer Supreme!

This title alone is enough to prove Chen Ji's extraordinary abilities.

Even if the two of them had never visited Kamar-Taj, one could still infer the prestige of the Acting Sorcerer Supreme!

"177A Bleecker Street..."

"Is this the address of Kamar-Taj?"

"Steve Rogers asked in surprise."

He had lived in Greenwich Village for a period of time as early as the 1940s.

But they found no trace of the 'Kamar-Taj'!

A hint of doubt arose in their hearts.

"No."

"This is the address of the Sorcerer Sanctum."

"There are three Sorcerer Sanctum on Earth, all built on key Leyline Nodes, while the other two Sorcerer Sanctum are located in London and Hong Kong respectively."

"It's best not to disturb them unless it's urgent."

"In addition..."

"There are followers of the Devil Cult among the highest levels of the Federal Government and other countries. You must be very careful."

Chen Ji offered kind words of advice.

This caused everyone to frown once again.

"The Devil Cult?"

What do we need to be careful about?

Tony and Nick Fury immediately began brainstorming.

"The Devil Cult"

Also known as Satanic Cult.

"Not only do the Earth Gods exist, but even demons are not entirely fictitious."

"The followers of the Devil Cult have all signed Soul Contract with Mephisto, and through Mephisto's power, they have risen to the upper class."

"Normally, Kamar-Taj does not interfere with secular politics, but that does not guarantee that Mephisto will not use his financial power to raze the Sorcerer Sanctum to the ground."

Chen Ji recounted the story in detail.

This is also the situation he is worried about.

Capital.

What If...? one were to acquire ownership of the land on Bleecker Street, all the buildings on Bleecker Street would be demolished and rebuilt.

The Mystic Arts Mage had no means of countering it.

If Tony Stark and Nick Fury can provide capital and political asylum, then the New York Sanctum can weather the crisis!

"I see."

"The Devil Cult?"

Who are the followers of the Devil Cult?

Nick Fury seemed lost in thought.

It turns out that beyond the world he knew, there was another Hidden World?!

Although he didn't make Chen Ji an Avengers, he indirectly gained Kamar-Taj's friendship.

This deal is already a sure thing!
