Putting on the airs of Zhang Yang's senior brother.

Berkeley clasped his hands behind his back, stepped forward, and coldly addressed the man holding the hammer. "Who are you people?!"

The shield-bearing man behind the hammer-wielding man stepped forward and looked at Berkeley. "The Avengers!"

Chapter 34

The Avengers?

Berkeley froze.

Weren't they the group the Arch-Sorcerer had mentioned before?

How had they run into them?

Shouldn't they be off fighting aliens? What were they doing here picking a fight with them?

Berkeley's expression darkened as he addressed the shield-bearing man. "Why aren't you fighting aliens? What are you looking for us here for?!"

The shield-bearing man and the hammer-wielding man exchanged glances.

Their expressions were somewhat displeased.

You were the ones who attacked Hulk first, and you even made Hulk disappear.

Who else were they supposed to come looking for?

"Foolish mortals, if you still refuse to hand over Hulk, then this time, my hammer will not miss again!" The hot-tempered hammer-wielding man did not answer Berkeley's question, merely speaking to him instead.

It seemed they had come because of Hulk.

Hearing the hammer-wielding man's words, Berkeley was clearly displeased.

But judging from the man's attire, he did not seem to be dressed like an Earthling. Berkeley could not help muttering:

"This guy keeps calling people mortals. Just who is he?"

"His name seems to be Thor. The one beside him might be Captain America," Zhang Yang hurriedly said.

At first, Zhang Yang had not been sure.

But based on how Thor and Captain America dressed in his memories—

These two should be them.

Later, after they said they were Avengers, Zhang Yang became certain.

The two men before them—

Were Thor and Captain America.

"Thor? Who's Thor?" Berkeley could not help asking.

He had at least heard of Captain America.

After all, Captain America was very famous in The U.S. He had been enhanced with the Super-Soldier Serum during World War II and had been the spiritual pillar of all The U.S. at the time.

But Berkeley truly did not know much about Thor.

"Thor, the God of Thunder. He's Odin's son." Zhang Yang looked at Berkeley seriously. "Senior Brother, you know Odin, but not his two sons?"

"That kid dressed like someone from a circus is Odin's son?" Berkeley froze.

It was normal for him to know Odin.

After all, Odin was a renowned figure throughout the Multiverse.

Some of Kamar-Taj's sorcerers often mentioned him as well.

But Berkeley really did not know Odin's sons.

Still, if he was Odin's son, then his strength should not be weak, right?

That was what Berkeley thought.

It would have been better not knowing, because now that he did, Berkeley felt even less confident.

As an Apprentice Sorcerer, Berkeley knew exactly how capable he was.

Kamar-Taj had already offended Odin because of Zhang Yang.

Surely they were not about to offend Odin's son too, right?!

Why was Zhang Yang always going against Odin?

One way or another, everyone they offended was connected to Odin!

It gave Berkeley a headache. "Why is it Odin again..."

"What are you two muttering about? Why haven't you released Hulk yet?!"

Unable to hear what Zhang Yang and Berkeley were saying, Thor saw them whispering among themselves and ignoring him. He immediately became furious.

He shouted at Zhang Yang's group in a deep voice, the hammer in his hand itching to strike.

"Hulk has already gone to Asgard. He was probably locked in a dungeon by your father." Seeing Thor keep asking about Hulk, Zhang Yang stepped forward and spoke to him.

It would have been better if he had said nothing.

The moment he did, Thor became even angrier.

"You're the helpers Loki sent, aren't you?! If that's the case, stop talking. Let's fight!"

Thor seemed to have lost his patience with Zhang Yang's group and started shouting about fighting.

With the alien invasion underway, they were already short on manpower. Now they were missing Hulk, one of their main heroes. Naturally, Thor and the others were anxious.

As for whether Zhang Yang's group was friend or foe, they could not tell.

They had only seen Zhang Yang make Hulk disappear, then claim Hulk had gone to Asgard, so they could not help becoming suspicious.

"Who's Loki? What helpers? We came here to save people!" Hearing Thor say things he did not understand, Berkeley hurriedly replied.

However, Thor did not believe Berkeley at this moment.

He raised the hammer in his hand.

Accompanied by a booming clap of thunder.

Lightning descended from the sky and connected to Mjolnir in Thor's hand. The next second, Thor swung his arm and hurled it at Zhang Yang.

Just as Thor's lightning attacked Zhang Yang's group.

A massive shield appeared before everyone, blocking the force of the lightning.

A familiar figure emerged before Zhang Yang and the other two amid the crowd.

"Arch-Sorcerer!"

Berkeley cried out gratefully.

The newcomer was none other than Wong!

However, before Wong could say a single word, Thor leaped forward and attacked Wong's group again. This time, Captain America joined the attack as well.

Wong fought the two of them alone.

Aliens also attacked from time to time, leaving the battlefield in complete chaos.

Seeing this, Berkeley hurriedly said to Zhang Yang and Aili, "Go help the Arch-Sorcerer!"

Aili charged in first.

But Zhang Yang and Berkeley remained where they were, neither moving for a long while.

"Zhang Yang, get in there!" Seeing Zhang Yang stand still, Berkeley could not help saying.

At that moment, Zhang Yang looked at Berkeley suspiciously. "Senior Brother, why aren't you going? Don't tell me... you don't know magic at all?!"

Or were you just completely useless in a fight?

Berkeley snapped, "Are you questioning your senior brother?!"

My legs are shaking, damn it...

"A little. But Senior Brother, I don't know martial arts, so I can't help in close combat. How about I try that Fear Magic? I thought about it all night after I went back yesterday." Zhang Yang spoke seriously.

Berkeley froze.

What the hell?

Fear Magic?

No, Zhang Yang, wait. Listen to me...

Chapter 35

Fear Magic?

Zhang Yang might not have known, but Berkeley did.

Where would Kamar-Taj get Fear Magic from? He had made it all up!

Zhang Yang, you straightforward fool! You actually went and thought about it? All night?!

Oh my god!

Wouldn't Crimson Bands or something have been better?!

Why did you have to choose a made-up spell?

Berkeley panicked. He was about to stop Zhang Yang, and he had even prepared a lie, when the instant he looked into Zhang Yang's eyes, an invisible pressure suddenly pinned him down.

That pressure caused fear to rise naturally within Berkeley's heart.

It was as though Zhang Yang was not an ordinary human, nor an Apprentice Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj, but some incredibly powerful big shot.

The mouth Berkeley had just opened was immediately shut by Zhang Yang's glare.

And—

That feeling of fear only deepened. Berkeley felt himself becoming more and more afraid.

He was so frightened that he could barely stand.

Berkeley clutched his chest, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He could not help lowering his head.

At that moment, he felt his hands trembling. Even his entire body was shaking.

In fact.

Berkeley was not the only one who felt this power.

Wong, Aili, Thor, Captain America, the nearby alien army, and the fleeing civilians all felt it.

"Why... do I feel afraid?" Captain America, who had been fiercely fighting Wong and the aliens, suddenly stopped moving. His hands trembled uncontrollably.

A sense of dread rose from the depths of his heart, as if something terrifying was about to appear. Yet he could not tell where it would emerge from, or where it was.

Chaos—

His mind was a complete mess.

His heart was filled with profound fear.

He was so afraid that Captain America could not even hold his shield steady. With a clang, it crashed onto the ground.

"Thor, what's happening? Why do I feel so afraid?" Captain America looked bewildered as he turned to Thor and asked.

His voice trembled, and Captain America felt as though his entire body had stopped obeying him.

At that moment, Thor felt the same way.

Thor had never imagined that he, the prince of Asgard and future Allfather, would feel fear.

And fear for no reason at all?

Moreover, that feeling of fear was growing stronger and stronger.
