I'm starting a mythology craze at Marvel

Chapter 217: The Conspiracy of Two Gods
"What's your purpose?"

Strange asked the black-robed man in front of him, even though he helped him defeat the Avengers who came.

But I can't trust him. Who knows what his purpose is?

"Don't worry, I am Nagash, the God of Death. I am here to help you in order to reach an alliance with your Lord Cthulhu."

"You...you are Nagash, the God of Death?" Strange's voice trembled with disbelief. He knew very well that Nagash, the God of Death, was an extremely ancient and powerful being in the universe, whose power was comparable to that of ancient gods such as Cthulhu.

"Yes, it's me." The black-robed man smiled slightly, and that smile looked particularly strange in the dim environment. "I came to find you because I have the same goal as your Lord Cthulhu."

Strange frowned, his heart filled with vigilance and doubt: "What common goal do you and Cthulhu have?"

Nagash approached slowly and whispered, "We all long to see the order of this world overturned, and to see those heroes who claim to be righteous tremble in front of our power. The awakening of Cthulhu is the key to achieving this goal."

Strange was filled with mixed emotions when he heard this. He knew that cooperating with a being like Nagash was undoubtedly courting disaster. But on the other hand, he also understood that if he could get Nagash's help, then Cthulhu's awakening would be just around the corner, and his own position in the church would also rise.

"Why did you choose to help me?" Strange asked cautiously, trying to capture more information from Nagash's words.

Nagash chuckled and said, "It's simple, because I need your strength and your position in the Church of Cthulhu, and you also need my help to deal with the enemies who try to prevent Cthulhu from awakening."

Strange was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly. He knew that no matter who was in front of him, he had no way out at this moment.

Only by cooperating with Nagash can he find his own way to survive.

"Okay, Nagash, I am willing to cooperate with you." Strange's voice was full of determination, "But you must tell me why you hate the Son of God and even help them defeat me?"

Nagash smiled slightly, as if he was satisfied with Strange's question: "Son of God, He claims to be the messenger of justice, but He has repeatedly obstructed our plans. He once helped the Avengers defeat me and thwarted my plot. I will settle this account with them sooner or later."

Strange couldn't help but feel a little respect when he heard this. He knew that Nagash's persistence in hatred and revenge was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. But at this moment, they stood together because of a common goal.

"So, Nagash, what should we do next?" Strange asked, trying to get more guidance from Nagash.

Nagash said slowly: “First, we need to find a way to strengthen your strength so that you can better deal with those enemies.

At the same time, we also need to develop a detailed plan to ensure that the awakening of Cthulhu can proceed smoothly."

Nagash's eyes flashed deeply in the dim light. He slowly turned around, faced Strange, and began to plan their next move in detail.

"Strange, as a loyal believer of the Church of Cthulhu, your power is already impressive, but it is far from enough to face those powerful beings from the multiverse. I need to guide you and let you master a deeper level of dark power. This power will make you a solid backing on the road to Cthulhu's awakening."

Strange heard this, and a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. He knew that the increase in strength meant more possibilities, and also meant that his position in the church would be more stable. So he bowed his head respectfully, waiting for Nagash's further instructions.

Nagash nodded slightly and continued, "I will teach you a set of ancient dark rituals. This ritual can awaken the dark power hidden in your body and make you resonate with the power of Cthulhu. But you must remember that this power is not easily obtained. You need to pay the corresponding price."

Strange did not hesitate and said firmly: "I am willing to pay any price as long as I can awaken the great Cthulhu."

Nagash nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Very good. Next, we will communicate with the great Cthulhu in a special way, convey our wishes to him, and ask for his guidance. In this process, you need to remain absolutely loyal and pious. Any distracting thoughts may destroy our connection with the great Cthulhu."

Strange nodded again, indicating that he was ready. Then, Nagash began to guide Strange to perform a mysterious ritual. Through complex spells and ancient totems, they tried to establish contact with Cthulhu sleeping under the deep sea.

During the ritual, Strange seemed to hear a whisper from the abyss, the voice of Cthulhu, full of ancient and mysterious power. The voice of Cthulhu echoed in his mind, as if telling of the coming awakening and destruction.

Strange felt as if his soul was being pulled by a powerful force, and he was deeply immersed in a conversation with Cthulhu. Cthulhu told him that the time of awakening was coming, and their mission was to ensure that the process went smoothly and that order in the world would be reborn from chaos.

After the ceremony, Strange felt as if he had been reborn, and his strength had been enhanced as never before. He looked deeply at Nagash, his eyes full of gratitude and awe.

"Lord Nagash, thank you for your guidance and help. I will swear allegiance to the great Cthulhu until death and contribute everything I have to his awakening." Strange said solemnly.

Nagash smiled slightly, knowing that Strange had become a key part of their plan.

Next, they will work together to develop a detailed plan to ensure that the awakening of Cthulhu can proceed as scheduled, plunging the entire world into the abyss of chaos and destruction.

While Strange and Nagash reached a cooperation agreement, the Avengers and Jack were rushing through the ruins of the city and returning to their base. The night was still dark, but their hearts were heavier than ever.

Jack walked in the front, his eyes flashing with determination. Although he had just encountered the terrorist attack of the Deep One, he was not discouraged. On the contrary, he was more determined to stop Cthulhu from awakening.

"We must find a way to deal with the Deep Ones as soon as possible." Jack's voice echoed in the night with unquestionable firmness.

Natasha followed closely behind, her face full of fatigue and worry. But she did not stop, but held the weapon tightly in her hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

"Jack, do you have any ideas?" Natasha asked, her voice trembling a little, but more of a trust in Jack. Jack shook his head, but his eyes were gleaming with thought. "We need more information, about the Deep Ones, about Cthulhu, and about the man in black robes." He said slowly, "Only by understanding their true purpose and the source of their power can we find a way to deal with them."

Matt and Hawkeye also nodded in agreement. They knew that in the face of such a powerful enemy, courage and strength alone were not enough, and wisdom and strategy were also needed.

They passed through an abandoned industrial area, where the buildings were dilapidated and seemed to be forgotten by time. But for them, this was an ideal refuge to temporarily avoid the pursuit of the deep divers.

When they finally arrived in front of an abandoned warehouse, Jack stopped and looked back at everyone with a determined look in his eyes.

"Let's rest here for a while." He said, pushing open the door of the warehouse.

The warehouse was dark and cold, but for them, it was a safe haven. They all found a place to sit down and began to discuss their next plan.

"We must contact SHIELD as soon as possible and tell them the situation here." Natasha said, "They may have more resources and intelligence to help us."

Jack nodded in agreement. "At the same time, we must also strengthen our own training and improve our strength." He added, "Only in this way can we be invincible in the next battle."

Matt and Hawkeye also expressed their opinions. They proposed various possible strategies and tactics, trying to find a way to restrain the power of the Deep One.

After everyone's discussion, a preliminary plan gradually took shape. They decided to contact SHIELD first to obtain more intelligence and resource support.

Fortunately, they successfully contacted SHIELD and received timely assistance.

SHIELD provided a large amount of intelligence about Cthulhu and the Deep Ones, as well as some advanced weapons and equipment.

These intelligence and equipment are undoubtedly a timely help to the Avengers, making them more confident when facing the enemy.

After successfully contacting SHIELD, the Avengers returned to SHIELD headquarters with valuable intelligence and equipment.

It was late at night, but the SHIELD's command center was still brightly lit, and all departments were working intensively and orderly, making final preparations to deal with the impending crisis.

As Jack and his team stepped into the command center, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

With tired but determined looks, they handed over the collected intelligence and equipment to SHIELD experts for analysis.

"Chief, this gentleman is Jack. He is an old acquaintance of Matt and Hawkeye, and he is also the herald of the King in Yellow. However, he has nothing to do with the previous cult. He helped us a lot this time. Without his help, we would not be able to come back."

Natasha introduced Xia Ling to Jack, who immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Jack.

"Jack, thank you very much for your help. We at SHIELD have always been committed to maintaining world peace and security. Now is the time for us to unite." Xia Ling's voice was steady and powerful, revealing his trust and expectations for Jack and the Avengers.

Jack smiled and responded: "Director, I am doing my best. The awakening of Cthulhu and the threat of the Deep Ones cannot be ignored. We must unite to deal with this unprecedented crisis."

Natasha then reported to Xia Ling in detail about the Avengers' battle with the Deep Ones, as well as their encounter with the men in black robes.

She emphasized the power and danger of the Black Robe Man and his close ties to the Church of Cthulhu.

Xia Ling listened to the report with a frown on his face. He realized that this crisis was far more complicated than they had initially expected. The intervention of the man in black robes made the situation even more confusing.

"We must find a way to restrain the Deep Ones and the Black Robes as soon as possible." Xia Ling said after a moment's silence, "At the same time, we must strengthen monitoring of the activities of the Church of Cthulhu to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause damage."

Jack nodded in agreement. "Director, we already have some preliminary ideas. First, we need more intelligence, detailed information about Cthulhu, the Deep Ones, and Nagash. Only by understanding their weaknesses and action patterns can we develop an effective response strategy."

Xia Ling nodded in support: "The intelligence department is already doing its best to collect relevant information. At the same time, we will also provide you with the most advanced weapons and equipment and technical support. The Avengers are our elite force, and your actions will be directly related to the direction of this crisis."

"Jack, and everyone in the Avengers, you are the key to this battle. SHIELD will fully support your actions. Whether it is intelligence, equipment or technical support, we will do our best to help." Xia Ling's words revealed an unquestionable determination, "But please remember, this is a battle about the fate of the world. We must act cautiously and cannot be negligent in the slightest."

Jack nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "Director, we understand the importance of this battle. We will do our best to collect more intelligence and formulate a more complete plan to ensure that Cthulhu is strangled in the cradle before it awakens."

Natasha also added: "Our Avengers team has fought against the enhanced Strange. Although he is powerful, we are not without a chance of winning. As long as we can find his weaknesses and develop effective tactics, we will be able to defeat him."

Matt and Hawkeye also expressed their determination and confidence. They knew that in this battle, they were not only fighting for themselves, but also for the peace and security of the whole world.

"Well, we can't just send your team out to collect intelligence now. We need a large force to provide cover."

Xia Ling looked at everyone and announced his decision.
