Asgardian Magic and the Scroll of Seals

New York Battlefield!

Stephen Fang leaped into the air, and the Ukaku on his back shot down three Chitauri energy blasts.

He formed the "Tiger" seal with his hands in front of his chest, and chakra surged out along his meridians. In the instant his throat swelled, a blazing white pillar of fire exploded from his mouth.

"Compound Ninjutsu: Flame Wind Wild Waves!"

A fire tornado with a diameter of fifteen meters swept across Fifth Avenue, melting the asphalt into a glassy state under the high temperature. Twenty-seven Chitauri Soldier vaporized into blue smoke before they could even scream, and the hoverbikes beneath them curled up and exploded like tin foil thrown into a steel furnace.

The Heat Wave overturned the newsstand on the street corner, and the front page of the Daily Bugle, "Spider-Man a Threat?", was reduced to ashes in the flames.

Captain America deflected a plasma cannon with his shield, then turned and shouted into the communicator, "Natasha! Evacuate the civilians through Exit B of the subway!"

"It's being handled!" Black Widow slid under the truck and blasted a pursuer's knee with her shotgun. "But some people have turned the battlefield into a volcano tourist attraction!"

Iron Man's Repulsor Ray pierced the eye of a Leviathan, J.A.R.V.I.S. suddenly warned, "Abnormal energy readings!"

Tony looked up and saw Stephen tearing Leviathan's exoskeleton armor apart with his bare hands.

The eighty-meter-long biological vessel resembled a dismembered crab, with pale purple blood dripping onto the ground like a torrential downpour.

Stephen's fists were imbued with Armament Haki, and each strike precisely hit the ship's nerve centers.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., scan that guy's power generation method!"

"Sir, his punching speed reaches sixteen times per second, and his force exceeds five thousand pounds. Roughly calculated..."

"Stop, forget I asked."

Hawkeye crouched on the tattered neon sign, his Explosive Arrow precisely targeting the airships attempting to encircle them.

He caught a glimpse of a blue light out of the corner of his eye— Stephen's Lightning Release: False Darkness cleaved through the clouds and struck down, causing seven Chitauri airships to explode into purple fireworks in the air.

"This is way more exciting than a fire-breathing show at the circus!" Hawkeye whistled, only to be picked up by Hulk and thrown towards another building a second later, an arrow fired mid-air as he did so. "Hey! Just letting you know in advance!"

Loki watched helplessly as Stephen tore apart the third Leviathan like a squid jerky. The wreckage of the ship crashed into the Tesseract's Energy Shield, causing the Space Stone to hum under the strain, and the wormhole to begin to twist like a deflated balloon.

"Midgard shouldn't have such a monster," Loki muttered to himself, only to be interrupted by Thor's thunderous roar.

"Now you know how powerful the Midgardian are?" Mjolnir smashed the last energy amplifier. "Get ready to explain to Heimdall why you were tied up like a crab by mortals!"

Stephen's Ukaku High-frequency Vibration as he swooped down and grabbed Leviathan's tail fin. The behemoth suddenly turned and crashed into its own kind. The entanglement of the two ships caused the wormhole's stability to plummet.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., calculate the wormhole closure countdown!" Iron Man used lasers to cut the tentacles of the Chitauri Mothership.

"The estimated time is 4 minutes and 37 seconds, but Mr. Stephen just manually accelerated."

"No need to calculate!" Stephen's voice suddenly switched into the communication channel.

He was standing atop Leviathan's head, Hand Seal, with the phantom of Guanyin appearing behind him. "Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Hand Kill!"

Countless Golden Fist Shadow rained down on the mothership's core, each strike precisely hitting the Chitauri's bioreactor.

When the sixty-sixth punch landed, the entire street echoed with the crisp sound of crustaceans being crushed!

The wormhole convulsed violently and began to shrink at a visible rate!

Hulk hurled the last Leviathan into the building, then turned to see Stephen pry open the bio-ship's fuel tank with his bare hands. The pale purple antimatter fuel ignited violently the moment it came into contact with the air, but Stephen enveloped his entire body in the holy light generated by his Armored Susanoo and hurled the fuel tank toward the center of the wormhole like a shot put!

Stephen Fang shouted, "Mount Miwa Myojin Divine Protection Barrier!"

"Everyone, take cover!" Captain America had just raised his shield when he saw a purple beam of light shoot into the sky and engulf the entire wormhole.

The Havok shattered all windows within a three-kilometer radius, and the military personnel monitoring the situation were instantly cut off from all contact.

Six hours after the battle— S.H.I.E.L.D.. temporary command center

Nick Fury dimmed the lights in the Conference Room, and J.A.R.V.I.S.'s Holographic Projection unfolded on the charred control panel.

The light blue data stream outlines a 3D model of the entire New York of New York, while the red marked areas show Stephen Fang's combat trajectory.

"Based on simulations," the mechanical voice said with unusual gravity, "without Mr. Stephen's intervention, we will face the following consequences—"

The data suddenly turned into a blood-red warning sign:

The wormhole expansion speed has been increased by 300%, Chitauri Mothership will arrive in 43 minutes.

The military-authorized tactical nuclear missile, codenamed Gamma-7, has a 91.2% probability of activation, potentially destroying New York in an effort to avert catastrophe.

The nuclear bombs had no effect, and the entire United States fell.

Tony's coffee cup stopped at his lips. "J.A.R.V.I.S., mark the third line pink; it'll suit our cozy post-war party better."

But nobody responded to his lame jokes.

Captain America paused in his act of wiping his shield. "If we had had that kind of fighting power back then..."

Natasha toyed with a small knife and smiled as she said, "That art student will immediately apply to join the resistance."

Banner removed his cracked glasses. "He single-handedly bore 62% of the Leviathan Legion's impact?"

"To be precise, it's 62.3%," Black Widow scrolled through the combat video, "Including tearing apart thirteen bio-motherships with his bare hands, and..." She suddenly froze the image— Stephen blocked a plasma cannon shot toward the Stark Tower with his own body, and after a white light appeared in front of him, he was completely unharmed.

On the military video communication screen, General Ross's poker face softened for once. "The Octagon Building formally expresses its gratitude." Behind him, his staff quickly held up an A4 cardboard sheet with a draft of the Special Contribution Award printed on it, "Although Stephen Fang's fighting methods are not entirely in accordance with military regulations."

Tony suddenly interjected, "I suggest changing the award citation to, 'Thank you Stephen Fang for not turning New York into a venue for alien smut parties.'"

Underground Laboratory.

The Tesseract gleamed coldly inside its leaded glass case. Stephen Fang observed the gemstone's patterns through the protective layer, seemingly lost in thought.

Thor's footsteps came from behind, the sound of his armor scraping against each other was particularly clear in the empty laboratory.

"This thing must be brought back to Asgard." Thor gripped the handle of Mjolnir. "It's the safest way to keep it in the Nine Realms."

Stephen turned and pointed at Loki, who was bound hand and foot and locked in a specially made glass room, "Asgardian Magic, this is a deal that you and your brother agreed to."

Suddenly, Loki's shout came from inside the room, "I don't remember!"

Thor raised his hand and shot out an arc of electricity. Loki was shocked and numb all over, becoming much more docile. Thor turned his head and simply said, "Let's set off at noon."

At that moment, Tony Stark walked over.

Seeing the two strongest members of the team talking in front of the Tesseract, Tony tapped the lead glass case containing the Mind Stone Scepter with his finger.

The blue light from the Arc Reactor reflected on his face, which was adorned with dark circles under his eyes. "Hey, you hammer-wielding guy, lend me this thing for two weeks to study. I'm planning to use its Energy Core." He suddenly spread his arms and gestured, "To build a powerful intelligent robot! Its entire body will be made of Vibranium, and it can kick Chitauri like a football!"

Thor thought for a moment, "As long as you don't let anyone with ill intentions get their hands on it, you can use it for now."

Stephen suddenly interrupted them, "Believe me, if you actually did that, you would create the gravedigger of all mankind."

"What do you mean?" Tony Stark paid close attention to Stephen Fang's words.

"Using the Mind Stone as the core of artificial intelligence is like feeding the global network a poisoned apple. It will Awakening self-awareness, and once it becomes aware, it will definitely not think about protecting humanity. I don't know if you've seen the movie Resident Evil, but the artificial intelligence in that movie already told you that when humanity is on the verge of collapse, the Red Queen will only launch a human elimination plan to give the earth peace."

Tony Stark raised an eyebrow. "J.A.R.V.I.S. is in charge."

Stephen Fang: "Instead of playing with fire, we should modify this thing's exoskeleton armor into a giant battle suit."

"Just imagine, an eight-meter-tall mecha giant, controlled by you, with six antimatter reactors in its chest! It's no less powerful than building an Ultron robot."

"Ultron? You even came up with a name for the artificial intelligence for me?" Tony Stark asked in bewilderment.

Stephen Fang, as if he hadn't heard what Tony said, continued, "I've already thought of names for the mecha."

"Let's call it that."

"Magical Warrior!"

Stephen, under Loki's barely suppressed laughter, held up three fingers. "When summoning, you have to shout—DO MO KE SA LA MO! Come forth! Magical Warrior!"

Tony Stark's lips twitched slightly. "Although I don't know where your inspiration comes from, I always feel like you're playing me."

"I don't care about anything else, but you'd better not do artificial intelligence if you don't want to lose J.A.R.V.I.S.."

At that moment, Tony Stark's wristwatch spoke, "Tony, I think he's right. According to my data simulations, if a super-powerful mechanical life form were to gain self-awareness, it would definitely not be a good thing."

Hearing J.A.R.V.I.S., the artificial intelligence, say this, Tony Stark could only shrug, ending the plot of "Avengers" with a single sentence: Scarlet Witch Wanda lost her beloved mechanical cyborg, saying, "Fine, I won't do it anymore. If I'm going to do it, I'll do the one you're talking about."

"What mecha?"

Stephen Fang exclaimed excitedly, "DO MO KE SA LA MO! Magical Warrior!"

Tony Stark rolled his eyes. "I'd rather call it Party Number, or Victoria's Secret."

Thor's Mjolnir cleaved through the last barrier of light, and the three fell onto the crystalline ground of the broken Bifrost.

Loki's silver-green robes were stained with Earth's coffee. He staggered a couple of steps to regain his balance, then immediately raised his chin at Stephen Fong: "Just a reminder, Asgard toilets are made of Uru Metal; it's easy for mortals to sit on them."

"Quiet." Thor tapped his brother's shoulder lightly with Mjolnir, making the hair on his neck stand on end.

Stephen Fang shattered the golden energy flow beneath his feet. His black T-shirt looked out of place in the Asgard aura, like an adult who had wandered into a children's Paradise.

Heimdall watched Thor and Stephen Fang's retreating figures and nodded thoughtfully, seemingly lost in thought.

As Stephen Fang crossed the Bifrost with Thor and stepped into Asgard, the sight before him made his eyes widen in astonishment.

No wonder everyone wants to conquer Asgard!

So beautiful!

The Sky Manipulation was a deep and mysterious murmur of blue, dotted with stars that shone like jewels. The stars did not twinkle, but rather emitted a steady and gentle glow.

The towering building radiated a golden light, crafted from an unknown metal. Every line was smooth and elegant, showcasing the majesty and splendor of the Asgard.

The top of the building pierces the sky, as if it wants to merge with the Sky Manipulation. It is carved with various strange runes and patterns, recording the legendary stories and heroic epics of Asgard.

On the streets, people dressed in gorgeous clothes come and go, their faces revealing confidence and pride.

These residents possess a unique temperament, with an extraordinary charm in every gesture, as if all the troubles of the world are irrelevant to them.

At the center of the Asgard stands a magnificent fountain, its crystal-clear waters refracting a myriad of colors under the sunlight.

In the distance, rolling mountains surround Asgard, their peaks covered in snow that shimmers with a silvery light under the sun.

Led by Thor, Stephen Fang arrived at the Asgard Palace.

From afar, the grand palace of the Asgard palace appears magnificent, like a giant descended from mythology.

Its exterior is shaped like a huge dome, with countless shimmering Crystal inlaid on the surface, complementing the golden metal frame. Under the sunlight, it reflects a dazzling light.

Stepping into the main hall, one is greeted by towering stone pillars, each carved with lifelike mythical creatures that seem to come alive and could burst forth from the stone at any moment.

The dome of the main hall is extremely high. Looking up, it seems as if you can touch the Sky Manipulation. The dome is painted with exquisite murals depicting the creation legend of Asgard and the glorious battles of the gods. Every Minute Control is delicate and the colors are bright. They are still dazzling after the passage of time.

The only thing missing is a scene featuring Goddess of Death Hela.

In the very center of the hall, there was a huge golden throne.

That is Odin's throne.

Odin's single eye swept over the shackles on Loki's wrists, Gungnir thudded against the ground. "What foolish thing has he done now?"

"Midgard wasn't damaged much, Father." Thor shoved Loki forward. "Thanks to this Midgard ally."

Stephen Fonta looked up at the throne without changing his expression. "I made a deal with your sons, and now it's time to finalize it."

Thor explained, "He wants to learn Asgardian Magic."

Odin's beard trembled slightly. "If a mortal touches Asgard secret, his nerves will melt within three seconds."

He flicked a wisp of rune from his fingertip, the character leaving scorch marks in the air. "See that? This is the most basic defensive Cursed Technique. Can you learn it?"

Stephen Fang suddenly clenched his right fist, Armament Haki coating his wrist. "See that? This is the most basic Three Types of Haki by pirates. Can you understand it?"

Thor suddenly interjected, "He tore Leviathan apart even more swiftly than Volstagg!"

Odin's one eye turned to his eldest son, "Asgardian Magic, I don't know what made you think of spreading it outside."

Thor hesitated. He couldn't very well say that he was desperate and wanted to change his situation, so he made promises to Stephen Fang, who then actually helped him, and then he went back on his word.

Seeing Thor's predicament, Stephen Fang took the initiative to speak, "Didn't you say that learning Asgardian Magic would destroy a mortal's nerves and even cause death? I will take responsibility for all the consequences, but I hope you can grant my wish."

"Yes, Father! Grant his request! I, as a god, have already promised him! Besides, Loki has already promised him too!"

Loki, kneeling on the ground, shook his head. "I won't admit it without surveillance footage."

"Hey, you bastard."

Just as Thor was about to erupt in anger, Odin spoke:

"It's good that you're starting to make decisions for your people, it's good that you're acting like a king." Odin released the Gungnir, the air currents created by the weapon as it hovered ruffling the hems of the guards' robes. "You can arrange the rest. But remember, Asgardian Magic isn't so easy to learn. You and your Midgard friends will bear all the consequences, including..."

"Debt."

Stephen Fang nodded thoughtfully.

Now that things have come to this, he doesn't care about anything else; he just wants to learn magic first.

Odin's expression was stern. His gaze swept over Loki, who was being escorted, and his voice was deep yet carried an undeniable power. "Leave Loki here. I want to interrogate him alone."

Then, he looked at Thor and Stephen Fang, and nodded slightly, "Thor, you take him away."

Thor led Stephen Fang away from the Asgard palace, traversing its intricate corridors, until they finally arrived at a warm and elegant palace.

Here, Thor's mother, Frigga, sat gracefully in a soft chair, turning the pages of an old book.

Thor Earth Flow, bowed slightly, and said, "Mother, it has been a long time."

Frigga looked up, a gentle smile on her face, her gaze shifting back and forth between Thor and Stephen Fang.

Thor then explained, "This is my mother; she personally taught Loki his magic."

Frigga nodded slightly, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

Thor then pointed to Stephen Fang, "This is my good friend Stephen Fang. He is eager to learn Asgardian Magic. I wonder if Mother could teach him?"

Frigga's expression immediately became hesitant. She frowned slightly and said, "It is not easy for mortals to learn Asgardian Magic. Asgardian Magic draws Cosmic Energy from the multiverse through the roots of the World Tree Yggdrasil, which conflicts with the mortal physique and soul. We can use magic because Asgardians genes are encoded with 'divine particles' that resonate with Cosmic Energy. This is the physiological basis for casting magic. Loki's Frost Giant bloodline also requires additional energy to maintain Asgardian Magic."

"Therefore, if mortals rashly learn the Asgardian Magic, the consequences could be unimaginable if they are not handled properly."

At this moment, Stephen Fang had been listening quietly, suddenly stepped forward and said politely, "Your Highness Frigga, would you please move outside the palace so we can discuss this matter in more detail?"

Frigga was slightly taken aback. She glanced at Thor, Thor nodded slightly, indicating that she might as well listen.

So Frigga stood up and gracefully walked out of the palace.

The three arrived outside the palace, sunlight bathing them. Stephen Fang took a deep breath, his Water Release: Earth Grudge Fear quietly gathering power in his shoulder, and his hands began frantically Hand Seal.

His fingers moved so fast it was dazzling, and in a short time, forty-four hand seals were completed.

"Water Release: Crimson Water Dragon!" With a loud shout from Stephen Fang, a huge crimson water dragon surged out from behind him!

The water dragon's body was winding and reached a height of fifty meters!

This effect was achieved by using the Nine-Tails Chakra within the body!

It roared as Xiang Tian with tremendous force.

The surrounding air trembled slightly from this powerful force!

Frigga and Thor were filled with surprise when they saw this.

Stephen Fang controlled the Crimson Water Dragon to circle once in the Sky Manipulation before suddenly blasting it high into the air.

In an instant, a strange sun shower began to fall from the Sky Manipulation, the glistening raindrops shimmering with iridescent light under the sunlight.

Odin, inside the palace, also noticed this scene and seemed to be deep in thought.

After doing all this, Stephen Fang turned to Frigga and said, "Your Highness Frigga, you have seen my love and talent for magic. Would you be my teacher and teach me Asgardian Magic?"

Frigga glanced at Thor again, Thor nodding earnestly, his eyes full of support for Stephen Fang.

Frigga finally nodded gently and said with a smile, "Alright then, from today onwards, you will learn Asgardian Magic from me."

At the same time, upon hearing the good news, Bruce Yu quickly said, "Learn the kind of Superman first! I have a fear of firepower right now!"

Stephen Fang: "By the way, what are the ways to level up in the DC World?"

Bruce Yu replied seriously, "The Speed Force like the Flash, various Lantern Ring, the Anti-Life Equation, the Mobius Chair, technological equipment, genetic mutations, magical mystical rituals, and cosmic-level items."

Pirate World Fang Yu: "These all sound pretty difficult to get your hands on."

Bruce Yu: "If handled properly, it's even possible to strip Superman of his powers or turn him into Shazam through Kryptonite. If we can get our hands on the Mother Box, the future is promising. The difficulty is self-evident."

Uchiha Yu: "Then you shouldn't take any risks. After having to carry a bag of rice up several flights of stairs, my reputation in Konoha is now better than Kakashi's. I have no doubt that if I weren't Uchiha, I might already have the armband of the Hokage successor."

Pirate World Fang Yu: "Alright, alright, I know you're popular now. I'm the one who's wanted all over the world."

Uchiha Yu: "I wasn't talking about that. I meant I'm not far from getting my hands on the Scroll of Seals."

Fang Yu Satori!

So that's what this guy was after!

Uchiha Yu: "Of course, the Scroll of Seals is only one of them. After all, I have a good relationship with Kakashi, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Tsunade and other high-ranking members of Konoha. In addition to the Akatsuki and the other Four Great Nations, there are also the Otsutsuki aliens in the Shinobi World. It's not easy to deal with them alone."

Stephen Fang didn't respond, but silently muttered, "Four Symbols Seal, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Impure World Reincarnation, Mutual Exploding Tag, Flying Thunder God Slash, Reaper Death Seal, and a bunch of improved Water Release from the Second Hokage, holy crap! Isn't this even more awesome than Asgardian Magic?"

Uchiha Yu: "That's not quite right. The Asgard's spatial manipulation is no worse than the Flying Thunder God Technique. Illusion creation and the Clone Technique combined are stronger than the Multiple Shadow Clone. Mind Control vs. illusion, energy explosion is no weaker than the Mutual Exploding Tag, and there's also prophecy, necromancy, artifact forging, and life-giving. You can think of the Asgardian Magic as Scroll of Seals of another dimension."

Stephen Fang: "You two keep it up, I believe in you!"

Pirate World Fang Yu: "If that's the case, then my chances of getting the Rumble-Rumble Fruit have greatly increased. With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, even Superman might not be able to kill us easily."

Bruce Yu: "Believe me, physical attacks might be avoidable, but energy attacks are absolutely out of the question."

Uchiha Yu: "Divine Protection Barrier".

Bruce Yu: "Never mind."
