Global Superhero Summit! A Showdown with Vishanti?!
The Painted Realm.
One after another, portals to new spaces lit up.
The superheroes that Chen Ji knew also came to the Painted Realm.
The Avengers from the Stark Duchy, the Fantastic Four from Bacchus City, the X-Men from Sokovia...
Doctor Doom from New Latveria, Heimdall from Asgard Dimension...
The crowd's eyes flickered, their gazes sweeping around them, and almost everyone bore the marks of battle.
However, they still felt extremely bewildered by the situation before them, and each had their own thoughts and speculations.
It's obvious that something major has happened on Earth, otherwise Chen Ji would never have summoned me!
This crisis may be even more serious than Secret Invasion!
"List?"
"How did you end up bringing me here?"
"I'm fighting Vampire, and I'm also trying to heal Banner."
Stark's tone was helpless.
In the Vampire incident, Doctor Banner was bitten and has since become Vampire, and has not yet fully recovered.
He developed a drug, but when he tried it, it had no effect whatsoever!
Even the other Avengers members looked somber and had extremely mixed feelings; they couldn't bear to see Banner lose control.
"I heard the Imposter Starperson attacked Sokovia?"
"Look at it this way."
"You've already defeated the Imposter Starperson?"
Mister Fantastic has wise eyes.
At this moment, Susan Storm, standing beside him, is the true Invisible Woman.
After discovering the Imposter Starperson disguised as the Invisible Woman, he also created something similar to Identification Lenses in his own way, which successfully uncovered the clues!
He has been searching for the Imposter Starperson as his main adversaries to prevent Secret Invasion from happening to him again.
"List."
"I saw Hela's actions from the Bifrost; she went to the Mariana Trench, searching for something."
Heimdall, clad in golden armor, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, began to speak slowly.
Mariana Trench
If he remembers correctly, Odin, the king of the gods, sealed the former king of the gods, Kull, in this very place!
Could it be that Hela intends to find the location of the seal, break it, and free the God of Fear?
It sent chills down his spine and made him feel utterly terrified upon closer examination!
"List."
"The Sentinel Special Operations has successfully created Realm-Piercing Gate and appears to be attempting to activate Realm-Piercing Gate..."
"Cyclops Scott reported."
He kept a close eye on the Sentinel Special Operations.
After all, the Supreme Sentinel Bastion of the Afterlife could lead the Nimrod army to attack his current time point at any time!
He absolutely cannot allow this to happen!
"A mysterious force has also appeared in Madripoor..."
Shinobi Shaw frowned.
This was his first encounter with a world-famous superhero.
But he's already here!
There shouldn't be any problems.
"Everyone."
"I have to tell you something even more terrifying."
"More covert than Secret Invasion, more insane than Vampire, more terrifying than Sentinel Robots..."
"First of all, I want to remind you, haven't you considered why one major event after another is breaking out?"
"But behind all this, there is actually an invisible hand controlling everything."
"In other words, even if you defeat your respective enemies, the disaster will not end; there will be other disasters."
Chen Ji sighed softly.
This immediately piqued everyone's interest.
"What's the meaning?"
"Could it be that Vampire, knock-off Imposter Starperson, and even Sentinel Robots are all just small fry, nobodys?"
"Are you sure?"
"What exactly did you discover?"
Tony, Mister Fantastic, Scott all expressed doubt, their eyes flashing with surprise.
After Chen Ji's reminder, everyone belatedly realized that the problem was not so simple and was indeed happening far too frequently!
So, who is the real culprit behind this?
"The Chthon?"
"Doctor Doom said in a deep voice."
Recently, he also encountered a strange thing.
The Darkhold he possessed had vanished into thin air, seemingly possessing its own consciousness and evading his pursuit!
According to Chen Ji, there is only one possibility: Chthon is still causing trouble!
"The Darkhold can just vanish into thin air?"
"Doom."
"Your lie is really clumsy."
The Thing shook his head.
"It's true."
"Book."
The Invisible Woman confirmed.
Because she was there and saw the Darkhold disappear.
Even more strikingly, a humanoid figure flashed within the light, as if the Darkhold had transformed into a human and voluntarily left Doctor Doom.
Even Doctor Doom didn't understand why this was happening.
"Real?"
"The Darkhold... it's alive?"
Isn't he a book?
Human Torch asked in surprise.
"To be precise, it is not a book, but Immortal Parchment, a mysterious object made of it."
"The Immortal Parchment is itself a life; its resurrection is no accident."
"But I believe there's definitely a conspiracy behind this."
"Doctor Doom asserted."
This could explain the resurrection of the Darkhold.
The key question is, who resurrected the Darkhold?
Chthon?
Why did they revive at this particular time, instead of earlier or later?
Based on past actions, it can be concluded that the Chthon, does not need the Darkhold to take physical form; only by appearing as a book can he entice others to fall!
So, could this be related to the real culprit behind it all?
Doctor Doom and Mister Fantastic exchanged a glance and came to the same conclusion.
"I'm afraid so."
"You already knew the identity of this mastermind, but you probably never imagined he would orchestrate all of this."
"He is Vishanti."
"Agamotto of Vishanti".
Chen Ji made a startling statement.
One glance stirred up a thousand waves.
Instantly.
The expressions of the people present changed slightly, their faces showing astonishment, as if they doubted their own hearing and could not believe the answer!
"Vishanti Agamotto?"
"He's not the founder of Kamar-Taj? How could he have caused all this disaster?"
Tony asked suspiciously.
This completely shattered his understanding!
After all, in his eyes, Vishanti had always been a benevolent god, not an evil one.
But the truth Chen Ji revealed left him bewildered. Was this really not an illusion?
"Mordo."
"You knew about this all along, didn't you?"
Chen Ji looked at Mordo.
As Agent of Vishanti, Baron Mordo must know everything inside and out and has long been aware of all this!
"Feel sorry."
I don't know what you're talking about.
Mordo shook his head.
In fact, his expression betrayed him!
"It turns out..."
"Is it all true?"
"Vishanti!"
"He made the Darkhold take human form, bewitched the Imposter Starperson, supported Vampire, and even allowed the Supreme Sentinel Bastion to defy the Time Law?"
The X-Men were all dumbfounded.
Now, everything makes sense!
If the Vishanti had prohibited time travel, the Supreme Sentinel Bastion would not have discovered the existence of the Temporal Hidden Force and been able to create the Realm-Piercing Gate!
"Realm-Piercing Gate?"
"Could it be a time machine?"
Tony's pupils contracted.
Time machine!
There are even future enemies, who could descend upon the present at any moment?
"That's right."
"The Sentinel Special Operations and the Supreme Sentinel have already communicated via quantum communication. It seems that the Supreme Sentinel Bastion will appear before us sooner or later with the Nimrod army."
"This is the real Secret Invasion."
"Nimrod-class Sentinel also possess shapeshifting and copying abilities, and can also isolate magnetism and resist Mind Stone damage."
"It will dominate almost the entire planet in the future."
"Cable explained."
He came from the future, so he naturally knew what the future would be like.
He also hopes to rewrite the future, and through rewriting the future, cure his electronic disease!
"Walter?"
"Dominated the entire planet?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Artificial intelligence, does it really have this potential?"
Tony raised an eyebrow.
Is this Supreme Sentinel Bastion even more powerful than Ultron, the very thing he invented?
No one can stop the Bastion?
Avengers?
X-Men?
Where did they all go?
Tony was incredulous, but he soon realized that perhaps he hadn't even lived to see the future!
None of the people present survived to the future!
"Yes."
"I've read about this period of history; in history textbooks, it's referred to as the end of the Heroic Age."
Cable's expression was complicated.
The end of the Heroic Age also signifies the rise of the Age of Machine Intelligence; Nimrod-class Sentinel and Bastion no longer have any rivals.
He never met Chen Ji, and it's possible that Chen Ji had already died a violent death before the era came to an end.
And his killer might just be... Agamotto!
If Agamotto were to take action personally, Chen Ji would likely not gain any advantage!
"Agamotto..."
"Did they kill Chen?"
Damn it!
"What on earth is going on here?"
The current Sorcerer Supreme, Old Wang, was on the verge of tears.
His faith wavered. He felt that Vishanti was no longer the Vishanti he remembered, and there was no need to have faith in him at all!
"Alright."
This is not the main topic today.
"First, I want to remind you that Vishanti has opened the entrance to the Magic Barrier, and the Hell Devil King is about to invade the Reality Dimension."
"And before that, I had already encountered an attack from Belasco, the Lord of the Limbo."
"I believe other Hell Devil King will also appear before you, so please be careful."
Chen Ji raised his voice.
All the superheroes in the entire Painted Realm heard his words.
I was even more shocked and surprised.
Vishanti...
Did it actively open the entrance to the Magic Barrier?
Was this Vishanti's decision, or Agamotto's?
Hell Devil King!
Dimension Lord from Hell are about to invade the real world en masse!
So, Vampire and Imposter Starperson were just an appetizer?
The group exchanged bewildered glances, and upon hearing this, they couldn't help but feel tense.
After all, the Hell Devil King All-Pervading and possesses abilities comparable to those of the Skyfather. Defeating the Hell Lord is no easy task!
"If you find anything, remember to notify Kamar-Taj."
Chen Ji nodded slightly.
The fact that he said this is enough to prove that it is true.
No one possessed his prestige and connections on par with his.
Almost all the superheroes in the Painted Realm have had some connection with him, coming from different places and representing different factions.
Everyone truly realized that unity was the most urgent task!
Let's set aside our hatred for now.
Only then can the safety of this universe be ensured.
After all, Agamotto's decision was definitely not made on a whim.
The fact that Vishanti did not stop it means he supported it!
"What a hassle."
"There's no time to rest."
Tony shook his head.
He naturally saw through Chen Ji's concerns.
Chen Ji hopes to preserve this universe, not destroy it.
At this moment, after Chen Ji exposed Agamotto's actions, everyone understood that the universe was in imminent danger and the world's fate hung by a thread!
And Baron Mordo, acting as Agent of Vishanti...
Feeling like sitting on pins and needles, like having thorns in one's back, like having a fishbone stuck in one's throat, like losing one's parents!
He was fully aware of Agamotto's actions.
In fact, it was he who personally opened the Magic Barrier, allowing the Hell Devil King to come into reality!
He had no choice; before this, he had no idea that Agamotto would be like this!
This shattered his illusions, and he no longer dared to believe in God.
"Mordo."
"I summoned you to the Painted Realm in the hope that you would repent in time, infiltrate Agamotto's inner circle, and learn about his next plan."
"Wanda is no longer the Sorcerer Supreme. The current Sorcerer Supreme is the King. After the King retires, you can become the Sorcerer Supreme. I can make that promise."
Chen Ji appealed to his emotions and lured him with benefits.
Since Mordo wants to be the Sorcerer Supreme, then let him be!
He needs an undercover agent to infiltrate Vishanti's inner circle.
Instead of being passive, let's take the initiative!
"King?"
"You are the Sorcerer Supreme now?"
"No wonder..."
"I didn't see Wanda."
Mordo's eyes flickered.
He also noticed something amiss.
If he can truly become the Sorcerer Supreme, then agreeing to Chen Ji's plan wouldn't be considered beneath his dignity.
Moreover, Chen Ji's announcement in front of everyone carried real persuasive power, which greatly appealed to him, yet he remained hesitant.
"Mordo."
"The Vishanti sold this universe to the demons of Hell. Are you sure you want to follow him down this dark path?"
Old Wang said in a deep voice.
He was a survivor of the disaster.
Through Belasco, we now know Agamotto's purpose: to sacrifice Earth-996 in exchange for the safety of Kamar-Taj in other universes.
This deal was indeed very worthwhile.
But for the Earth-996, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe, and the entire universe would be wiped out!
The Hell Devil King is extremely greedy for the souls of intelligent beings. He grows stronger by seizing souls, which foreshadows that the trillions of beings on Earth-996 will all become slaves of the Hell Devil King!
This is also what Mordo is concerned about. He wants to become the Sorcerer Supreme and restore Kamar-Taj to its former state, but he also doesn't want Earth-996 to become a hellish place!
"Perhaps the destruction of the Weird World is also related to Agamotto."
"If Agamotto had been able to interfere with the incubation of the Celestials, the Weird World wouldn't have fallen apart. It seems that Doctor Strange did something that Agamotto abhorred, which led to all of this..."
Chen Ji murmured softly.
He gradually pieced everything together and felt himself drenched in sweat.
It's absolutely terrifying to think about!
