The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 478 Destruction of the Family
"In order to fight against the dangers coming from various dimensions and protect the safety of the earth, magic is indispensable."

While the Mage King was bandaging Zhan Liu, he kept on persuading him.

"Magic is an art. It allows the mage to borrow the power of the devil and exert unlimited power, just like a lever."

"If you had learned magic, you would never be in this miserable state now."

"With the space gate in hand, it will be difficult for the enemy to touch the corner of your clothes."

Zhan Liu had a gloomy face, lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhan Liu might know more about the nature of Marvel magic than the Wizard King, but it is precisely because he knows more about it that he resists it from the bottom of his heart.

Finally, he could no longer hold back and asked the Mage King, "King, do you know that all magic is a lending relationship?"

"The borrowed magic power must be returned in the end, and you may even have to pay with your body and soul. Do you understand this?"

However, to Zhan Liu's surprise, the Mage King did not hesitate at all and nodded, "Of course I know, what's the matter?"

"Huh?" This time it was Zhan Liu's turn to be surprised.

"Why do you need to learn magic if you know that?"

The Mage King glanced at Zhan Liu and asked:
“Those who buy houses with mortgages, don’t they know that the accumulated interest on the loans is higher than the principal?”

"Don't they know that if they default on their mortgage payments, the bank will take their house away and they will be left with nothing?"

“Then why don’t they just pay outright for the house?”

"Isn't it because you have no money?"

"In this world, there are many things that you can't choose. You just have to choose the lesser of two evils."

The Mage King rechecked the bandaged wound, then sat on the sofa next to him and sighed:
"Besides magic, can you find other ways to make ordinary people stand out and become extraordinary?"

"If you have never seen the light, you will not hate the darkness."

"Once a person comes into contact with the extraordinary world, he can never go back to the past."

"Take yourself for example, are you willing to become an ordinary person again, living a mediocre life and working hard for a few thousand dollars a month in the company?"

"Even if you really become an ordinary person, won't you still have to face various crises and may lose your life and soul at any time?"

"Just like the Earth crisis a few days ago, Dormammu suddenly descended, and those ordinary people who were involved in the extraordinary events had no ability to resist, and they didn't even know how they died."

"Instead of doing this, it is better to sell your life and soul for a good price and enhance your ability to deal with risks."

Perhaps thinking that his words might affect Zhan Liu's decision, the Mage King softened his tone and explained patiently:

"In fact, not all demons will devour human souls. There are many demons that are relatively friendly to humans, such as the Trinity Vishanti, the source of white magic."

"If you have any doubts about these, you can just practice white magic. If you study it to a high level, it will be very powerful."

"Since the Ancient One chose you to be the Sorcerer Supreme, and the Eye of Agamotto also recognized you, there must be a reason for it."

"Why don't you try to learn some white magic from me first, starting with the most basic space gate, how about that?"

Zhan Liu lowered his head, carefully savoring the words of the Mage King.

Among Marvel's superheroes, the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutations, and it seems that only the magicians can obtain it through learning.

Just like in ordinary people's society, the rich can rely on inheritance from generation to generation (technology), but if the poor want to cross the class, it is not enough to rely on hard work alone, but also rely on luck (mutation). As for those who work hard to study, they must eventually sell themselves to big companies.

A wizard must sell himself to various demons in order to gain magic power. It feels like a worker must sign a contract with a big factory, and once signed, the contract is for life. This feeling makes Zhan Liu very uncomfortable.

Zhan Liu doesn't want to be an employee and wants to start his own business, but the universe won't allow it!
The original ultimate infinite Qigong and ultimate infinite primordial magnetic thunder method were both things that allowed ordinary people to "start their own business", but their existence seriously affected the existing cosmic rules and order.

The universe can use this method to deal with emergencies, but after using it, it will not allow something that obviously destroys the old structure to exist.

The Star-Breaking One, on the other hand, takes advantage of the loopholes in the universe during the transition from the old to the new, breaks the shackles of the original destiny, and realizes "class leap" first.

Zhan Liu once had "entrepreneurship permission", but he knew nothing about it and failed to seize the opportunity, so Poxing failed.

Now that his "entrepreneurial license" has been revoked and he has lost the ability to rotate his magnetic field, what options does he have?
When he had obvious advantages before, everything was arranged for him clearly. Now that he has nothing, how can he escape the control of fate?
There is only one future that Eternity has arranged for him, and that is to become the Supreme Sorcerer!

This can be regarded as a reward for bringing the power of magnetic field rotation into this universe and promoting the exercises in the universe.

In essence, Zhan Liu and Gu Yi are now of the same nature and are colleagues. They are both Yongheng's chosen spokespersons.

Ancient One has become notorious in the multiverse, and no one dares to "lend" money to her anymore, but Zhan Liu is a newcomer, and he can completely copy what Ancient One did.

He tricked the devil into lending him magic power, and then tricked the devil into coming and killing him for his money.

When Zhan Liu doesn't want to do it anymore in the future, he can run away like Gu Yi and become the Holy Spirit beside Yongheng and continue to exist forever.

However, Zhan Liu himself didn't know all this.

He had no idea how big a support he had already clung to, and was still weighing the pros and cons, hesitating and unable to make a decision.

But he knew in his heart that, just as the Mage King had said, he actually had no choice at all.

The scene of being beaten by Seven is still vivid in his mind. After losing the power to rotate the magnetic field, although his physical fitness is still there, he is no match for Seven.

He could either learn magic and fight back, or wait for Seven to come again and beat him to death.

Does he still need to choose between these two options?

Does he have any choice?

Even though Zhan Liu always felt that something was not right, he had no choice but to decide to succeed the Supreme Sorcerer.

After receiving a positive answer, the Mage King was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to draw a space door and brought Zhan Liu to Kamar-Taj.

"From today on, I will teach you Vishanti White Magic. I believe that with your aptitude, you will be able to become a qualified magician very soon."

However, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the sky, "Unfortunately, from today on, Kamar-Taj will become history, and no new wizards will appear." The mages were shocked and looked up hurriedly, only to see a golden-red steel armor floating above Kamar-Taj, with its back to the sun and casting a shadow.

"Tony Stark!"

Zhan Liu recognized the visitor immediately and had a vague ominous premonition in his heart.

He still regards the previous "Iron Warrior" as Tony Stark, and also regards Tony and the superheroes who came back from the future as his accomplices.

Seeing Tony suddenly appear in Kamar-Taj, and from the tone of his words, he sounded full of hostility.

All the mages realized this and without any organization, they immediately formed groups of three or five and started to defend themselves spontaneously in small teams.

The defensive magic circle was erected again, protecting the mages inside.

The magical energy was mobilized and transformed into flames, arrows, wind blades, etc., whistling towards the iron armor.

"Although I don't think you have a chance of breaking the star, you still have to give it a try." Tony said something that made most people puzzled, and then suddenly a large number of small missiles appeared behind him and fell to the ground.

The mages were very experienced in long-range attacks. In an instant, countless small space gates opened in front of the missile, trying to swallow it.

However, these missiles were equipped with remote control devices. When they detected the space fluctuations ahead, they changed their trajectories, bypassed the space gate in a crooked manner, and continued to bombard the ground.

The Mage King's spirit was trembling, and he shouted hurriedly: "Defend with all your strength!"

The small missiles were so fast that the mages only had time to intercept them once. After failing, they lost the best chance of defense.

Technology and magic are two completely different forces, separated from each other, but at this moment they are intertwined, performing an incredible confrontation.

When the technological missiles and the magic shield collided, everything on the battlefield seemed to stop and time froze at this moment.

With deafening explosions and huge shock waves, the defenses of many mages with insufficient magic power were instantly broken, and the energy rolled back, turning the mages hiding behind the shields into charcoal.

The explosion of the technological weapons was extremely powerful, with fragments flying everywhere and causing ripples on the energy shields of the surrounding mages.

Under the high temperature, the flames quickly ignited, spread and engulfed an area, and thick smoke billowed inside Kamar-Taj. The destructive power was jaw-dropping.

Compared to the mysterious and unpredictable magic, the lethality of technological weapons is simple and clear. They are the highest technological product of human cannibalism.

This collision is not just a confrontation, but also a duel between two different forces, highlighting the opposition and contest between technology and magic.

Although the mages have been well trained, the enemies they face are mainly monsters on the magic side. They are not professional when facing human enemies on the technological side.

If it were just ordinary technological weapons, the mages would have sufficient ways to deal with it even if the federal army came.

However, the enemy that attacked this time is a leader in black technology in the entire Marvel Universe. Although its missiles are small, they are highly technological, fast, powerful, and can be remotely controlled to avoid magic defenses. Ordinary wizards are no match for them.

The amount of ammunition that should have been a problem for technological weapons is no longer a shortcoming for Tony. After one round of bombing, the second round follows.

Zhan Liu shouted loudly and rushed to the front of the mages' shields with his strong physique. He used his flesh and blood to fight against Tony's missiles.

The mages got a moment to catch their breath, and they showed their abilities and cooperated with each other to send magic attacks through the space gate to the back of Tony's armor, bombarding Tony.

However, just as Tony's missiles could not kill Zhan Liu, the mages' attacks were also unable to break the iron armor's defense.

Seeing Zhan Liu coming to disrupt the situation, Tony snorted coldly, waved his hands, and a traction ray fell from the air, grabbed Zhan Liu, and threw him to the foot of the mountain next to him, thus clearing the position he was guarding.

The mages were disturbed by Tony and couldn't get Zhan Liu back.

Although the snowy peak where Kamar-Taj was located was high, it was not enough to kill Zhan Liu. However, without the ability to rotate the magnetic field, Zhan Liu could not even fly, and could only run back desperately with his legs.

When Zhan Liu returned to Kamar-Taj again, all he saw was a mess.

The entire mountaintop was littered with corpses and blood. All the palaces and pavilions had collapsed. Blazing flames were burning on top. Just looking at the intensity, you could tell that fuel must have been added. The air was filled with the nauseating smell of meat.

Zhan Liu's hands and feet were cold as he tumbled and crawled into the burning hall. He saw the Mage King, covered in blood, leaning on an overturned table in the middle of the hall. He was motionless and without a breath.

The time he had spent with the Mage King was not long, but he could not help but feel sad when he thought of the fat man's sincerity when he was alive.

He circled in the fire, calling out the names of the wizards loudly to see if anyone was still alive, but all that echoed in his ears was the sound of burning flames.

The supporting pillars of the hall collapsed and the roof collapsed. Zhan Liuyi blew it away, took a big step forward, rushed to the top of the mountain, and roared at the sky.

"Damn it!"

"Tony Stark!"

"Are you worthy of being called a superhero when you look like this?"

"If you want to kill me, then come here!"

"What's the point of destroying Kamar-Taj?"

"I'm not dead yet!"

"As long as I am alive, I will definitely become the Supreme Sorcerer. Everything you have done is in vain!"

"Who said I want to kill you?" A voice suddenly came from behind Zhan Liu.

Zhan Liu turned around suddenly and saw Tony standing in the air behind him.

"Go to hell!" Zhan Liu was furious and started punching him.

Tony raised his hand slightly, grabbed Zhan Liu's fist, and with a snap of his fingers, sent something into Zhan Liu's body.

"I just want to stop you from becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, but I don't mean to kill you."

"I have restored your power to start rotating the magnetic field. From now on, whether you can recognize your true heart, break through yourself in life and death, break the star and gain freedom and liberation, all depends on you."

"I've already given you the chance. Whether we'll be friends or enemies in the future depends entirely on whether you can live up to your potential!"

After Tony finished speaking, he soared into the sky and flew away. Zhan Liu couldn't fly now, so he was helpless and could only curse him behind his back.
