Seeing the entire lunar fortress enveloped by a dazzling light and violent explosions, Alexander Pierce fell into an uncontrollable mental excitement, like a madman who had taken too many drugs.
Its demonization is no longer limited to the body, but also includes the soul, which is the most essential part of life.
It is difficult to associate that hysterical mental state with the previous calm, rational, forbearing hero who was willing to spend decades to realize his ambitions and dreams bit by bit.
A Hydra soldier simply showed an expression of fear and was instantly killed by the fireball shot by the Hydra. Even his body turned into a pool of black carbonized matter.
Unable to communicate! Unreasonable!
It doesn't matter that other people's eyes are absolutely self-centered! Nick Fury, who witnessed this scene, was soaked in sweat all over.
He might not be afraid of a calm and rational Alexander Pierce, but he had every reason to be afraid of a psychopath who might do something shocking in the next second.
This is because a psychopath cannot make predictions based on experience, familiarity, and vested interests, or he simply doesn't care about these things and just wants to have his own fun.
In this respect, the Abyss Demons are quite similar to the green-skinned orcs in the Warhammer universe.
The latter never considers any consequences in their pursuit of fighting and pleasure.
Whether they are facing ordinary forces in the galaxy such as the Human Empire, the Eldar, and the Tau, or the Necrons, Tyranids, Chaos Daemons, and other gods that would make their legs tremble when meeting them, most civilizations will rush forward without hesitation to have a flesh-and-blood fight between "real men", and they will never retreat even if they are the one being beaten up.
There is no doubt that the high degree of compatibility between Alexander Pierce's soul and the power of the abyss surprised the "Witch Queen" Igvir Vodou. With shining eyes, she exclaimed: "Incredible! You have become so corrupted after absorbing such a small amount of soul power? It seems that you still have greater potential to tap, my dear disciple."
"Ma'am!!!! I think you'd better explain what's going on?"
Nick Fury asked harshly.
Because he felt terrible now, as if a hamster in a cage was suddenly poked in the butt by someone outside the box, and he was shocked and angry.
"Haha, why, is this hard to understand? I'm just looking for something fun to kill time.
After all, Alexander Pierce and his Hydra have already secretly controlled S.H.I.E.L.D.
This situation is bound to happen whether I intervene or not.
So please don't think that I'm the one behind all this.
Quite the opposite!
You should thank me.
Otherwise, those warships in outer space above our heads would not be bombing the lunar fortress, but the capitals and important cities of several major countries in the Human Union.
Ah, I almost forgot to tell you a little secret.
In fact, in the magic training class you previously ran, more than 90 percent of the students secretly joined Grant Ward.
I have to say, you've really failed as a director.
If it were me, I would have committed suicide out of shame."
With his true nature exposed, Igwirf directly demonstrated his "poisonous tongue" attribute and ridiculed Director Ludan to the utmost.
"So you knew all this from the beginning? You were even deeply involved in it? But you didn't tell us a word?"
Nick Fury clenched his fists.
You have to know that in order to please the other party, he used the power in his hands to give the green light when he was in office. Others could not or dared not shoot, or easily offended politicians and interest groups and were banned, but Igwirf could do all of them unscrupulously.
But the result was blatant disregard and ridicule.
Especially for such important news, there was no leakage of information at all. They were just making a fool of themselves.
Director Lu Dan never realized from the beginning to the end that as a mortal, in the eyes of the legendary wizard and half-lord of the abyss like the "Witch Queen", no matter how much power he held or how high his social status was, he was ultimately just an insignificant "pawn" or "chess piece".
Because the power brought by power will eventually disappear with the loss of power.
Only strong personal strength is the foundation.
What's more, SHIELD does not belong to Nick Fury alone, but is subordinate to the World Security Council and the later established Human Rights Alliance.
And he himself is not irreplaceable.
To sum up, this guy didn't understand his own position from the beginning, and thought he could become a so-called "friend" by getting closer to others.
Little did they know that the divine monk Balthazar, who tends to be lawful neutral and slightly kind, might be happy to make friends with him, but the chaotic evil Igvirf and Sarovok definitely would not.
In the eyes of the latter, all the goodwill and solicitation of Director Lu Dan were nothing but the wishful thinking of an idiot who didn't understand the situation and wanted to impress him with "small favors".
While enjoying this free convenience, they laughed at each other's stupidity and imbecility in their hearts.
In comparison, Zuo Si was much smarter when dealing with people in the evil camp.
He would never try to use such low-level means as winning over others. Instead, he would first see whether there was a fundamental conflict of interest between himself and the other party, and then see whether there were common interests or goals. Finally, he would judge whether a temporary alliance could be concluded based on the other party's past performance.
The most important thing is that when the common enemy or interests disappear, he will immediately adjust the relationship with the other party and will never blindly continue to trust the other party.
To some extent, this is how the typical evil camp gets along.
As for Nick Fury...
It was obvious that he was limited by his vision and had no idea that for a truly strong person, the things he offered were completely unattractive. He was just being self-indulgent from beginning to end.
Fortunately, he has finally realized this clearly, but the bad thing is that he has become a complete clown in front of everyone.
The intense feeling of shame and impotent rage filled my heart, but I had to hold it back and not show it.
"Haha, if I were you, I wouldn't continue wasting time on unimportant things, but would quickly look for Carol Danvers' whereabouts. Otherwise, once she is successfully brainwashed like Bucky Barnes, the Human Alliance will have to face a super weapon that may get out of control and become a huge threat at any time."
Igvir raised the corner of his mouth and gave a kind reminder.
"Where is Carol Danvers?" Nick Fury asked with concern.
"Do you think I will tell you the answer directly? Don't be naive! This is a civil war among you humans, and the master has personally ordered us not to intervene too much. So all I can do is to do nothing to help. But it's not a big deal to give you a little hint. Go and look carefully near the place where Carol Danvers fell."
After saying this, Igwilfu no longer paid attention to the other party, but turned his head to admire the demonized Alexander Pierce who was killing, destroying, and devouring souls not far away.
Obviously, she was waiting for the other party to come to his senses after venting his anger, and she watched helplessly as everything she had carefully planned was completely ruined in the rage, impulse and venting, revealing an expression of pain and regret.
"Where did it crash? Tennessee!"
Nick Fury, who was a former agent, instantly realized where Captain Marvel might be hidden by Hydra.
Although the state covers an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers and has a large number of mountains and highlands, it is still much smaller than searching across North America or even the world.
Without any hesitation!
He immediately began making phone calls to have the Union send troops to conduct a blanket search in Tennessee, determined to find Carol Danvers at all costs.
…
On the other hand, as the warships controlled by Dr. Zola began orbital bombardment of the lunar fortress indiscriminately, Crossbones Brock Rumlow was forced to reach a temporary reconciliation with the Human Rights Officer stationed in the central control room, and began to work together to manually use high-power energy weapon arrays to counterattack the fleet.
Because if they don't fight back, when all the weapon arrays are destroyed, all that awaits them is death.
So even if it's just for survival, both sides must unite.
I have to say that this sudden change is both absurd and magical.
At this point in the battle, it is no longer possible to tell which side is the Human Alliance and which side is Hydra. Many people are still fighting just to survive.
Especially the once powerful flagship of the Hydra fleet, which has now been snatched away by the devil disguised as John Garrett using the most advanced hacking tools from the ninth level of Baator Hell, and the core program of Dr. Zora inside has been modified to turn it into an artificial intelligence that obeys Grant Ward.
Right now, Dr. Zora in the operating systems of other battleships is waging a space network war with the transformed Dr. Zora.
From a distance, the originally huge fleet looked like it was having a seizure. One moment it was conducting orbital bombardment on the lunar base, and the next moment it started shooting at each other.
As for the crew inside, it was even more miserable. Sometimes they had oxygen and heating, and sometimes they didn't.
The feeling of ice and fire is simply ecstasy.
Some people who have been deprived of oxygen for too long have been fainting, waking up, fainting again, and waking up again in a cycle, which may have caused permanent damage to the brain.
This extremely chaotic situation lasted for several hours. In the end, the transformed version of Dr. Zora won the final victory, and Grant Ward became the actual controller of the fleet.
All of this was in line with Zuo Si's plan, not even a minute was wrong.
To be precise, he personally directed this civil war among humans and wrote the final outcome in advance.
While the Human Union had not yet recovered from the shock, Grant Ward, at the Devil's suggestion, quickly recruited all Hydra members including the fleet and the lunar base, and promised that as long as they joined him and swear allegiance, they would not be liquidated afterwards.
Since he originally belonged to a branch of Hydra and now controls a powerful fleet, he encountered basically no stubborn resistance during the incorporation process.
Except for a very small number of diehards, even veterans like Crossbones decisively chose to bow their heads.
Everything was settled when the negotiators sent by the PF arrived.
No matter what the Supreme Council had planned before, they now had to accept that the fleet was under Grant Ward's control.
Because with their current technology, it is impossible to eliminate the strong artificial intelligence that is rooted in the operating and control systems.
Fortunately, unlike the previous "old-school" Hydras, Grant Ward has shown a willingness to integrate into mainstream human society and political activities.
Finally, after a "cordial and friendly" meeting, the two sides finally finalized the cooperation framework and returned to the Earth Human Union headquarters to hold a press conference, announcing the official end of the civil war and the entry of Earth humanity into a new era.
As for the content of the press conference, you don't need to ask to know that the first thing to do is to put all the blame on Alexander Pierce, the most dangerous ambitious and conspirator after the Red Skull John Schmidt.
He took advantage of the good wishes of many people to eliminate war, hunger and poverty and to unite all mankind, and served his own dark and dirty selfish desires.
Secondly, it also emphasizes that Hydra is not an evil and dictatorial organization as people previously imagined, attempting to rule the world with tyranny, but rather a gathering place for idealists.
The reason why they go to extremes is, on the one hand, that they are incited, and on the other hand, because of their extreme disappointment and dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Now, these people have come to their senses and at the critical moment, they have fought back and defeated the "big devil" Alexander Pierce who was trying to rule the world.
As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold.
In return for these "ambitious young people", the People's Federation stated that it would no longer pursue the mistakes they had made in the past, and allowed them to join the People's Federation as a non-state third-party political party and obtain a seat in the Supreme Council.
Finally, it also emphasized that future human beings must go out instead of staying on Earth all day engaging in ugly infighting.
In short, it all comes down to one sentence: let the past be the past, and human beings need to unite to embrace a better future.
As for those who died in this civil war, such as London and its nearly 10 million people that disappeared from the map, and the "Little Britain" that completely collapsed and fell into chaos, no one cared about their thoughts at all, just as the once-powerful British Empire did not care about the thoughts of the natives in the colonies.
Not convinced?
Bear with it!
If anyone dares to jump up and down at a time like this, he will destroy the unity and stability within humanity.
Do you believe that when the time comes, they will directly send two space battleships to fly over the British Isles to let the British people feel the "gunboat diplomacy" that their government and royal family were best at back then? You know, the Human Union still owes a huge debt to the Hell Bank, and they are worried that there is no place to harvest souls legitimately.
Even a certain South Asian power that had just joined the Supreme Council of the People's League began to clamor for the full acceptance of Britain's legacy and the transfer of all of the other side's technological and industrial capacity to its own country, so that it would be worthy of its current status.
Unfortunately, their little trick had already been seen through by several other countries, and the vote did not pass at all.
What's even more abstract is that these guys actually sent out warships and fleets to rob in secret.
As a result, they suffered heavy losses at the hands of local police and volunteers who were temporarily organized.
Not only were all the warships sunk, but the entire army was captured, with more than 20,000 people detained. The army instantly became a laughing stock around the world.
After all, no matter what, Britain is a country capable of building spaceships and power mechas. It is definitely not something that a certain South Asian giant can compare to with those "made in various countries" junks.
All it takes is a high-speed aircraft plus an energy weapon to easily pin it to the ground and rub it repeatedly.
In addition, Alexander Pierce, the super "scapegoat", also became a prisoner of the Human Union after his crazy venting, and has now been sent to an underwater prison.
At this moment, with his eyes flashing red, he was looking out through the small iron grille window on the door, looking extremely eerie and terrifying.
After completely embracing the power of the Abyss, certain parts of his body showed signs of permanent demonization, and he could no longer completely restore his human form.
Sudden!
The originally dark corridor was suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light, followed by a tall young man who slowly walked over from a distance and stopped only one meter away from the gate.
"Grant Ward!!!!"
Alexander Pierce called out the other person's name with great hatred in his tone.
Grant Ward seemed not to have noticed the other party's murderous eyes, and politely bowed with one hand on his chest: "Nice to meet you, sir.
You have to know that according to my previous position in Hydra, I didn't even have the qualifications to meet you.
But now, I have become a representative of the Supreme Council of the People's Union, and you have become a prisoner.
Fate is such an unpredictable thing."
"So you came here today just to show me your ugly side as a villain who has succeeded? Or do you think it's glorious to be a traitor?" Alexander Pierce asked gritting his teeth.
"No, neither of them." Grant Ward smiled and shook his head. "I just want to tell you that your plan has no chance of success from the beginning. Because from the moment you transformed yourself into a half-demon, you have become an enemy of Baator and Lord Soth. Because devils and demons are mortal enemies!"
"What? Who told you? How come I didn't know!"
Alexander Pierce was stunned for a moment.
As a latecomer, he learned all relevant knowledge through self-study and instruction from Igwilfu.
And because of the rush to achieve results, I have never even looked at a lot of theoretical knowledge.
Especially the complex and difficult plane studies and alien biology that have not been translated into English.
In fact, there are only a few people on the entire earth who know the difference between demons and devils.
“See, that’s the thing.
You think you know it all, but in reality you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
According to my understanding, the war between the devils of Baator and the demons of the Abyss lasted for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. It is even called the cruelest, bloodiest, most deadly and longest war in their universe.
After such a long period of fighting, the two sides have already become each other's most hated enemies.
Even just meeting each other requires a life-and-death fight.
But what about you? You were foolish enough to be tricked into embracing the power of the abyss, allowing the devil's filthy and filthy blood to pollute you.
This book, The Devil’s Book, is the best proof of that.”
As he spoke, Grant Ward took out the thick book with a red cover that seemed to be wrapped in a ball of fire and showed it to him.
Alexander Pierce's face turned pale, and he grabbed the iron bars of the window like a madman and roared, "No!!!!!!!!!!!! This is impossible! I don't believe it! He promised not to interfere in human affairs! And he won't stop Hydra from seizing power!"
"Hahahaha! Yeah, he did say that.
But the problem is that you have to understand that the devil is a race that loves to lie and deceive.
Unless it is a clause implemented in the contract, it is best not to believe a single word of it if it is just a verbal promise.
更何况他并没有直接干涉，也没有阻止九头蛇夺取权力，我现如今的地位就是最好的证明。”
格兰特·沃德看向对方的眼神中充满了怜悯。
作为亲历者，他显然很清楚在整个过程中左思那无处不在的恐怖影响力。
尤其是那个献祭了养父约翰·加勒特的灵魂后所召唤出来的魔鬼，每到关键时刻总能拿出一些能立刻扭转局势的手段，简直就好像提前知道了会发生什么一样。
所以在稳定了自己的地位和权力后，他第一时间就向左思献上了忠诚，并且开始大力扶持那些信仰魔鬼并获得神术赐予的教派。
“法克！法克！法克！这他妈的是文字游戏！”
在剧烈的情绪起伏影响下，亚历山大·皮尔斯身上立刻浮现出恶魔化的迹象，眼睛里的理智也开始被疯狂所取代。
但是没过几秒钟，墙上、门上、天花板上的魔法符文便闪烁着银白色的幽光，紧跟着恶魔化的过程就被强行打断又恢复到了之前的模样。
很显然，这是一个为他专门定制的牢房。
墙上和门上用秘银、炼银绘制的法阵可以压制来自下层位面的邪恶力量，能有效防止其变身或使用传送能力逃走。
而且在变身过程中，那双手紧握着栅栏的手被严重烧伤，散发着刺鼻的焦糊味。
直达灵魂的灼烧感与疼痛让亚历山大·皮尔斯跪在地上发出哀嚎。
格兰特·沃德面无表情的注视着对方，足足过了十几秒钟才自顾自的继续开口说道：“没错，就是文字游戏。因为这也是魔鬼们最擅长的。另外，我今天之所以来见你，主要是为了彻底一劳永逸的扫除后患。”
“你是来处决我的？”
亚历山大·皮尔斯猛地抬起头，血红色的眼睛里闪烁着极度危险的光芒。
“不，不是我，而是另有其人。我只是个见证者，仅此而已。”
说罢，格兰特·沃德便开始缓缓后退拉开与牢房的距离。
下一秒……
巫后伊格维尔伏便直接撕裂牢房内那些用来限制邪恶力量的法阵、符文全部撕碎，紧跟着一把抓住亚历山大·皮尔斯的脖子将其整个人从地上提了起来。
“啊！这灵魂腐化与堕落真是令人感到陶醉呢。亲爱的学徒，你想我了没有？”
“你……你想干什么？放开我！快放开！”
亚历山大·皮尔斯身体急剧变化很快就展现出了自己高大强壮的恶魔形态。
可有趣的是，他那粗无比的胳膊和爪子愣是掰不开那双开看上去苍白、纤细、柔弱无力的小手，庞大的身体被死死按在墙上动弹不得。
“啧啧啧，看你紧张的样子，肯定还不知道我接下来要做什么，对吗？
没关系，我现在就告诉你答案。
首先，我会先一点一点拔掉你的指甲和牙齿，紧跟着再剥离你的皮肤，然后挖开你的腹腔将肠子、肝脏、脾脏、肾脏等器官一个一个的摘除，再把肺和心脏挖出来，最后才是剔肉削骨。
在这个过程中，你的灵魂会被牢牢地钉死在身体里细细体会那种极致的痛苦。
当然，这样做并不是单纯为了折磨你，而是为了帮助你完成转化彻底重获新生。
唯有如此，你才能摒弃掉凡人的弱点，彻底拥抱邪恶与混乱。”
伴随着伊格维尔伏那令人毛骨悚然的话语，牢房内很快便传出了亚历山大·皮尔斯撕心裂肺的惨叫声。
就连站在门外的格兰特·沃德都在欣赏了几分钟之后开始不受控制的浑身发抖，后来更是扶着墙不断干呕。
他简直不知道该如何形容那血腥残忍到极点的画面，从开始到结束一直处在被震慑的状态，就连大脑都失去了思考能力。
等一切落下帷幕的时候，他甚至都不知道自己究竟是怎么离开的，满脑子都是刚才画面的“精彩回放”。
而且越是想要将其忘掉，那些细节记忆的就越深刻。
回到家之后，格兰特·沃德直接屁股瘫坐在沙发上，打开一瓶冰镇啤酒便仰起头咕咚咕咚喝了个精光。
突然在放下空易拉罐的那一刻，他看到在沙发对面坐着一个熟悉的身影，整个人立刻像弹簧般跳起来，结结巴巴的问：“索……索斯阁下！您怎么来了？”
“总算结束了，不是吗？”
左思双手交叉放在胸前，用略带玩味的眼神打量着这个自己亲手培养的年轻人。
“是啊，终于结束了。
随着亚历山大·皮尔斯的消失，整个北美乃至世界范围内的九头蛇都并入了我的麾下。
不过斯特拉克男爵那边始终是个麻烦。
他并没有向我宣誓效忠，而是主动切断了一切联系。”
格兰特·沃德语气中带着一丝疲惫跟无奈。
因为他实在是太年轻了，以至于九头蛇内部的各个山头只是将其视作一名侥幸成功的投机者，并不存在什么敬畏之心。
这也就意味着只要有机会，对方立刻便会脱离控制，甚至是在内部展开竞争重新夺回领导权。
毕竟眼下格兰特·沃德已经完成了九头蛇组织转型最重要的一步，那究竟是从原来人人喊打的过街老鼠变成合法政党。
“既然如此，那为什么不继续跟神盾局合作呢？”左思似笑非笑的反问道。
“您的意思是……”
格兰特·沃德显然明白了什么，眼睛里闪过一抹凶狠的光芒。
左思微微点了下头：“我的意思是直接把斯特拉克男爵和他的秘密研究所归类到亚历山大·皮尔斯的死党行列，让人联跟神盾局去收拾他。
如此一来，你既能杀鸡儆猴警告九头蛇内部的派系自己手上仍旧握着生杀大权，同时又能向人联和全世界展现新的九头蛇已经与过去截然不同了。
要知道你现在所处的位置很微妙，刚好是一个权力的平衡点。
无论倒向哪一方都会导致天秤失衡。
所以你必须要在很长一段时间内学会小心翼翼的走钢丝，直至把九头蛇整合完毕变成自己的政治资本。
到那个时候，你就可以开始尝试着对人联进行改革，想办法给自己弄一个地球元首的称号，通过不断发动对外战争来获取威望最终加冕成为人类帝国的皇帝。
而那些信仰魔鬼的教会，就是我送给你把不同地区、不同种族、不同文化的人联合到一起的工具。
至于究竟怎么用，那就要看你本人的天赋和能力了。
要知道宗教可是一把双刃剑。
你既可以利用它非理性的狂热来快速扫清一切障碍，也可以用它润物细无声的方式来慢慢改变人们的思想、行为和生活习惯。”
“可我似乎并没有选择的权力，不是吗？如果不快点发动战争来转移矛盾的话，想要偿还那笔巨额债务绝对是痴人说梦。而且相比起这种长远的规划，我倒是更希望您能给我一个适合发动战争的目标，”
说着，格兰特·沃德打开了投影仪将人类目前掌握的星图展现出来。
这其中绝大部分是来自齐塔瑞人舰队的资料，还有一小部分是雷神托尔从阿斯加特带来的。
其中可以看到三股势力占据的星域最为广阔，分别是新崛起的希阿帝国，正在衰退中的斯库鲁帝国，以及掀翻了斯库鲁帝国的克里帝国。
很显然，以人类目前的科技水平和舰队数量，与这样的宇宙级强权交手绝对是活得不耐烦了。
相比之下，单个星球或几个恒星系所形成的联盟显然要好对付许多。
但这其中也不乏山达尔星这种科技比较强大，甚至能靠新星军团来抵挡克里人、灭霸舰队攻击的强悍势力。
所以选择一个适合的攻击目标对眼下的地球人来说至关重要。
毕竟自从内战结束之后，人联已经颁布了紧急战争法，允许在面对外形敌人的时候可以使用克隆人、人工授精和催熟等手段来大批量制造合格的士兵。
这也就意味着从现在开始，他们相当于可以通过科技手段来获取近乎无限的人力资源。
尤其是在人造子宫中长大的个体，会在计算机构建的虚拟梦境中接受高强度的军事训练，从培养皿中爬出来之后只需要两周左右的适应期就可以直接扔到战场上去。
而制造他们所需要的原料不过是一点微不足道的电力、矿物质、蛋白质、糖和各种维生素。
甚至就连死掉的尸体都可以循环再利用，简直把“经济实惠”这一条给拉满了。
至于什么伦理道德……
在人类文明的生存、延续和发展面前根本不值一提。
就连绝大部分的民众都对该法案明确表示支持。
毕竟有了克隆人和人工催熟技术之后，就不再需要他们这些“真正的人”去战场上送死。
人在看到对自己有利的法律时，通常情况下是不会考虑什么公平、正义之类的东西。
"Don't worry. Before the first batch of clones mature, I will bring you a sufficiently detailed star map for reference. Before that, you should just focus on consolidating your political foundation."
Zuo Si interrupted Grant Ward's unrealistic delusion.
Of course he knew that this guy wanted the star map in order to take advantage of the fact that the human fleet was in his hands and immediately pick a weak target to complete the first successful colonization in human space history.
Doing so will not only gain huge political capital and prestige, but also provide an opportunity to force other representatives of the Supreme Council of the People's League to make greater concessions.
After all, this is the first time in history that such a title is quite valuable.
It’s a pity that Zuo Si did not intend for the Earth in this universe to take too big a step.
Just when Grant Ward was still trying to test the waters, a portal suddenly opened up, and a beautiful woman wearing a low-cut white shirt, a black suit jacket, a tight skirt, black stockings and high heels appeared out of nowhere. It was Gramir, the exclusive secretary of the lord in the core power circle of the ninth level of Baator Hell.
The Devil of Pleasure, who had just been awarded the title of Countess, first tucked her long golden hair behind her ears in a very seductive manner, then adjusted her glasses and leaned forward to whisper, "Dear Lord, there was a small accident in the city, and you may need to come and handle it yourself."
"Oh? What is it that neither you nor Mecanthus can handle?"
Zuo Si showed a very surprised expression.
As a lord of the hell layer who has been in an "offline" state for a long time, he has long decentralized most of his power.
Apart from things like going to direct war with lords of other levels, the rest can basically be decided by the Succubus Queen and this exclusive secretary.
Otherwise, just dealing with various trivial troubles every day would consume a lot of energy, and you would have no time to think about how to continue to improve your strength to make yourself stronger.
"It's the Avengers. They had a fierce conflict with some local gangs, mercenaries, and several legendary wizards. If you don't do something, you should be collecting their bodies in ten minutes at most."
There was an obvious and undisguised gloating in Glamir's tone.
Because she had long been annoyed with these self-important so-called "superheroes", and had even sent someone to warn them.
As a result, all the good intentions fell on deaf ears.
It didn't take long before these guys started to self-righteously investigate everywhere, and then forced people to obtain intelligence through coercion and inducement.
They simply don't understand that the huge cyberpunk city on the ninth level of hell is full of hidden talents, unlike on Earth where offending local forces would at best result in being shot from behind.
Here, there are almost all kinds of incredibly powerful magic, including the terrifying alchemical toxin that is enough to kill a dragon and the mind control that can make mortals lose consciousness instantly.
Even legendary wizards have to be cautious and keep a low profile.
Otherwise, the body or soul might appear on the black market the next morning.
But unfortunately, the Avengers apparently mistook the gangs in the huge cyberpunk city for gangsters from big cities on Earth.
The biggest characteristic of these guys is that they bully the weak and fear the strong. They dare not even fart in front of people who are truly powerful and have background.
As long as you beat them up and threaten them, they will tell you everything you know.
The Avengers' unruly behavior obviously triggered a chain reaction, and even became "public enemies" to some extent.
Finally, after several gang leaders reached an agreement, they launched a retaliatory hunt against several foreign intruders.
Although the fighting power of Thor and Hulk has always been online.
But the problem is that both of them have fatal flaws, which is that they are very easy to be controlled by magic.
Basically, one person can be easily expelled by using a maze or confinement spell.
As for the remaining Iron Man, Black Widow and Hawkeye, they are basically just there to serve as food.
The magic armor of the former will be instantly scrapped with just a large lysis or anti-magic field, and the latter two probably can't even beat a pure warrior of around level 11.
Since the entire ninth level of hell was under Zuo Si's absolute surveillance, he shifted his attention slightly and took a look, only to find that the situation was pretty much as he expected.
Thor and Hulk had long disappeared, Tony Stark was lying stiffly on the ground, unable to move, Hawkeye was pinned to the ground and beaten by a monk, his face and clothes were covered in blood, and Black Widow was just one step away from becoming the heroine of some two-hour video.
"Alas - it's really the result of one's own actions."
Seeing their miserable appearance, Zuo Si couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh. He ignored Grant Ward, whose soul was almost taken away by the demon of pleasure, activated the teleportation and disappeared on the spot.
In a flash!
He himself descended into the chaotic streets.
When the unique pressure from the big devil swept through every corner around like a tsunami, all the guys who were taking action stopped at the same time.
Not only that!
After confirming the identity of the visitor, they knelt down without hesitation to express their respect and submission to the supreme ruler of the ninth plane.
After all, there are photos, portraits and 3D projections of Zuo Si himself everywhere in the huge cyberpunk city.
As for impersonation...
Maybe it may happen in other places, but here, any daring person who pretends to be the lord will have only one end, and that is complete annihilation from body to soul.
