Midnight Sons! A Major Event Loomed
"List."
"The Vampire are on the move, and you may not know this, but recently a woman in Macau suddenly appeared with a mysterious item."
"It's called the Dragon Talisman."
"This talisman is made of a special material, possesses the aura of blood, and also has extraordinary magical power. It can emit Explosive Fire, which has already attracted the attention of Vampire."
"It is said that the whereabouts of another eleven talismans are still unknown."
"The Vampire clan is attempting to find the Twelve Talismans to awaken the Blood God and obtain the power of Erebos."
"The Midnight Sons needs your help..."
The Voodoo Doctor recounted his story in detail.
His eyes revealed a serious expression.
Midnight Sons.
It had already been secretly established long ago.
This is a secretive team.
Primarily responsible for handling supernatural magical events occurring in the Midgard.
Even Kamar-Taj tacitly approved of the team's existence.
Even Daniel Drumm frequently contacts Voodoo Doctor to fight against potential dark forces!
Until recently, the appearance of the Dragon Talisman and the legend of the mysterious lord also came into the Midnight Sons's view.
In particular, it was heard that there were eleven other talismans scattered all over the world.
The Midnight Sons immediately realized the seriousness of the problem!
Furthermore, Blade had already seen the Dragon Talisman, and he could clearly sense the blood aura emanating from Dragon Talisman. Clearly, the legend of the mysterious lord was most likely true!
"Dragon Talisman?"
"Vampire?"
Chen Ji's gaze was deep.
As the creator of the Dragon Talisman, he had foreseen the appearance of Vampire, but he never expected that it would alarm the famous Midnight Sons!
Collect Twelve Talismans to awaken Erebos?
These Vampire really dare to dream!
The crucial point is that he hasn't created the other eleven talismans yet!
What are you trying to wake up?
Chen Ji chuckled inwardly.
But...
The arrival of the Voodoo Doctor also allowed him to keenly sense a 'business opportunity'!
An opportunity to gain a large amount of Luck Value!
Midnight Sons?
Chen Ji was quite interested in this mysterious and unpredictable magic team.
Furthermore, he also intends to win over the Midnight Sons and make them his allies!
The ordeal at the Lobby Bar has already put Wanda in danger, and he can't just sit idly by and wait to die.
If the Midnight Sons could be brought to settle in Sokovia, it would be like having an extra layer of insurance, enough to make the Chaos Witch wary.
Even Voodoo Doctor can track his coordinates.
With the Darkhold in her possession, there's no reason why Agatha couldn't do it!
So...
Chen Ji nodded almost without hesitation.
"I agree to join the Midnight Sons."
"But I can't guarantee that I can definitely resolve this matter."
"And... where is the Midnight Sons' base?"
"Take me there to have a look."
Chen Ji's eyes flickered.
But the Voodoo Doctor shook his head.
"The Midnight Sons don't have a base. They usually handle their own affairs and only temporarily unite when facing a major crisis."
The Voodoo Doctor was not lying.
The members of the Midnight Sons each possess unique skills, including half- Vampire, werewolves, and even Spirit of Vengeance...
It was already quite an achievement for him to establish the Midnight Sons.
Who would willingly remain permanently in one specific location?
Moreover, the members of Midnight Sons are all clean-cut and have never done anything illegal or disorderly.
It's even less likely that they'll own any property anymore.
How about this?
"I have a company in Sokovia."
"If you're willing, I can provide a stipend, including meals and accommodation."
"Furthermore, I have long ago established a secret organization called the Illuminati, which is mainly responsible for handling major crises on a cosmic scale."
"In comparison."
"The Twelve Talismans and Vampire are utterly insignificant."
Chen Ji smiled.
This immediately caused a look of surprise to appear on the Voodoo Doctor's face.
This Acting Sorcerer Supreme...
How did they end up in Sokovia?
There's another company!
What's going on?
Daniel Drumm never mentioned it!
"I will not join any official organization, nor will I join any corporation."
"Both the Midnight Sons and I have our own things to protect, but if you insist on doing so, I will not object."
The Voodoo Doctor's gaze was calm.
No refusal... that means yes!
A smile appeared on Chen Ji's face.
"Then let's go."
"I will find another place to establish the headquarters of the Midnight Sons. The Midnight Sons will always need a safe place to stay, and this will be free of charge."
Chen Ji smiled.
Free of charge?
What's free is often the most expensive!
He's already provided me with a place to stay for free, so it's not unreasonable for me to do some dirty or tiring work for him for free, right?
The words had barely left his mouth.
Before the Voodoo Doctor could react, Chen Ji immediately opened a Mystic Portal.
They went directly to Sokovia.
Near a Gothic Tower that has been reduced to ruins.
This tower originally belonged to the Blasphemy Cult.
With the destruction of the Blasphemy Cult, the Gothic Tower was also destroyed, and the surrounding area was deserted for miles around, attracting no attention.
It could serve as a resting place for the Midnight Sons.
After all, this tower contains countless engravings and mysterious symbols. If the Oracle Priest returns and reawakens the Seven-Pointed Star Array, things could get very bad.
The fact that the Midnight Sons have taken over this place can be considered a way of easing Chen Ji's worries.
As for the ownership of the Gothic Tower, it can be resolved simply by informing Baron Zemo!
"This place..."
"It has an evil aura; is it the mark of the Eye Demon?"
"Is this the territory of the Blasphemy Cult?"
The Voodoo Doctor, with his extensive experience, recognized it at a glance.
"That's right."
"I destroyed this place before, but I still felt it wasn't secure enough. With the protection of the Midnight Sons, I can finally feel completely at ease."
Chen Ji nodded secretly.
It must be said that the Voodoo Doctor's Legendary Sorcerer was well-deserved.
In some universes, the Voodoo Doctor even replaced Doctor Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme.
Clearly, the Voodoo Doctor's abilities are extraordinary!
How many members are there in the Midnight Sons?
Let's get to know each other.
Chen Ji smiled.
If Man-Thing and Werewolf by Night also exist in this world.
Doesn't that mean the Bloodstone Family also exists?
Bloodstone!
Possessing near- Infinity supernatural power.
They have the ability to control and enslave supernatural beings.
It is said that its level in the universe is comparable to that of the Infinity Stones!
As for the origin of the Bloodstone, there are many different theories and interpretations.
Different times and places have different origins.
But Chen Ji secretly sensed that perhaps the Bloodstone was also a crystal formed from condensed blood!
"The Midnight Sons team, excluding me, has six members."
"Werewolf by Night, Man-Thing, Blade, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Hellstorm."
Are you sure you want to see them?
The Voodoo Doctor had a strange expression.
Although the members of the Midnight Sons are absolutely duty-bound to face major crises in the Hidden World, they are not a monolithic group and often have disagreements and fights.
Especially between the Werewolf by Night and the Blade, due to their different races, they instinctively have impulses towards each other.
Hellstorm is also closely related to the Lord of Darkness.
Ghost Rider's power comes from Mephisto.
Moon Knight, a devout believer in Khonshu!
Man-Thing...
Just from the name, you can tell it's a monster!
It took him a lot of effort to gather this group of oddballs together.
To use a trendy phrase, these guys are all "obeying orders but not orders"!
You can cause trouble, but how about cooperation?
"Midnight Sons, unable to bear the light?"
What's wrong with that?
Chen Ji curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"Weren't we supposed to be discussing the Dragon Talisman?"
"Let us summon the Midnight Sons in this name."
Wanda's beautiful eyes flashed, and her mind clicked.
"All right."
The Voodoo Doctor felt utterly helpless.
Yet he still used his magic to try and contact the Midnight Sons, regarding the Twelve Talismans!
Soon, a cloud of magical smoke drifted into the air.
A moment later.
A portal to another dimension lit up rapidly.
The first to appear, the Midnight Sons, dressed in a leather jacket, boots, and chains around his chest, with scorching Hellfire erupting from his head, stepped directly into the Gothic Tower!
"Jericho."
"Why did you summon me?"
"And who are these two?"
The uninvited guest's empty eye sockets seemed to glow with Hellfire. He looked around at Chen Ji and Wanda, his skeletal face revealing a hint of doubt.
The cool look and magical entrance made Wanda cover her mouth in surprise.
I can't believe it!
What kind of magical creature is this?!
Johnny.
"This is the Acting Sorcerer Supreme in Kamar-Taj, and his lover, but don't underestimate her; she is the host of Chaos Magic."
The Voodoo Doctor offered to introduce himself.
"Acting Sorcerer Supreme?"
Scarlet Witch?
"... You're a member of the Midnight Sons now? You've really gone to great lengths for Midnight Sons."
Johnny let out a strange laugh.
Chen Ji also subconsciously checked the other party's Entry Panel.
[Name]: Johnny Blaze
[Identity]: Ghost Rider
[Entry]: Ghost Rider Motorcycle (Blue), Hellfire (Purple), Eye of Judgment (Purple), Immortality (Red).
[Ghost Rider Motorcycle] (Blue): As a knight, one must have a mount. He imbues the motorcycle with Hellfire, transforming it into a spirit chariot with its own consciousness.
[Hellfire] (Purple): Flames from the depths of Hell, possessing enchantment abilities, capable of scorching any substance, unbound by the Natural Law, and immune to water and vacuum environments.
[Eye of Judgment] (Purple): Ghost Rider can unleash Hellfire through his eyes, damaging the soul and revealing all the sins committed by the victim. The most heinous criminals will also fall into Hell.
[Immortality] (Red): As Spirit of Vengeance created by God, he can almost quickly regenerate his body no matter what damage or blow he suffers, but if abandoned by the Spirit of Vengeance, he will also lose this ability.
"... Immortality?"
"This entry is truly outrageous."
"The Spirit of Vengeance?"
Chen Ji's pupils contracted.
Based on its effect, this should rightfully be Gold Entry!
But...
This isn't Johnny Blaze's power, but rather the Spirit of Vengeance within him!
The Spirit of Vengeance.
Its origins are shrouded in mystery.
Revered as a living weapon created by God, it cannot survive independently and needs to find a host.
Perhaps this is why [Immortality] has fallen to the red quality level.
As for why the living weapon created by God would be controlled by Mephisto, even Chen Ji was deeply puzzled.
But...
Johnny Blaze, on the other hand, is someone you can trust.
With the help of this formidable character, Chen Ji could feel somewhat at ease even if the Chaos Witch actually reached Sokovia.
Johnny.
"You know, the Vampire are gathering, searching for the Twelve Talismans."
"The only known information so far is that the Dragon Talisman has appeared in the hands of a woman."
"As for the remaining eleven talismans, we must act quickly and find them ahead of time."
"List..."
"They have agreed to join the Midnight Sons and intend to provide accommodation, which is this tower ruin in front of you."
"It's worth mentioning that meals and accommodation are included."
The Voodoo Doctor chuckled.
The Midnight Sons almost never have legitimate jobs.
Income sources are also very unstable.
With Chen's support, Midnight Sons will surely be able to grow bigger and stronger!
"Meals and accommodation included?"
"You live in a place like this?"
Are you kidding me?
Ghost Rider shook his head.
This is even worse than his rented apartment.
Leave it to me.
Wanda looked very serious.
Immediately, she moved her slender hands, her whole body surging with Crimson energy, and she actually manipulated the matter to recombine, the broken bricks and stones returned to their places, and the Gothic Tower was gradually restored!
In the blink of an eye.
A brand new Gothic Tower rose from the ground in the blink of an eye, standing tall on the wasteland.
Even Ghost Rider's eyes widened in surprise.
This was the first time I realized how overpowered and terrifying Chaos Magic truly was!
"Chaos Magic..."
"I hope you are the one wielding Chaos Magic, not the Chaos Magic around."
Ghost Rider's tone was full of hidden meaning.
"Chaos Magic can also control me?"
Wanda looked slightly taken aback.
She hadn't really considered that.
"Rest assured."
"I will protect Wanda. As the biggest sponsor of the Midnight Sons, I also hope that Sokovia will be protected in times of crisis."
"The Midnight Sons can offer me a little bit of help."
Chen Ji revealed his true intentions and directly stated his terms.
Just then.
A Cloak, swift-moving figure wrapped in a shroud, like a night owl, descended upon the top of the Gothic Tower, wielding a crescent dart!
A bright crescent moon hung overhead.
The night was dark, dotted with countless stars.
A strange figure dressed in the same attire, topped with a bird's skull, could be vaguely seen, gripping a crescent-shaped staff, standing on the other side of the tower.
