I sparked a mythological frenzy in Marvel.

Chapter 94 The Calm Before the Storm

"Director Xia, what are you planning to do by assembling the Avengers team? Are you preparing for a lavish party?"

Tony asked Xia Ling curiously, "The last time you assembled the Avengers was when Banner led his men to attack New York."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ling's lips twitched slightly, as if he was trying to suppress a laugh. He replied to Tony with feigned seriousness, "Tony, your imagination is truly cosmic. But unfortunately, this time it's not about any 'Hainan Rendezvous,' but rather that Earth is facing an unprecedented 'taste bud crisis,' or rather, a real crisis."

Tony's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this, as if he'd heard something utterly absurd: "A taste bud crisis? Director Xia, are you sure you're not joking? We're the Avengers, not the Gourmet Alliance!"

"You know you're the Avengers, so why are you bringing up the Hainan Rendez-Vous?"

Seeing this, Tony also dropped his joking attitude and became serious: "Director Xia, what exactly is the situation? What do you need us to do?"

"Tony, didn't you hear the news? Kaecilius of the Church of Dagon and the Ancient One of the Brotherhood of the Yellow Kings are at each other's throats."

Upon hearing this, Tony frowned, realizing that the situation was far more complicated than he had imagined: "So, our Avengers team needs to intervene in this conflict to stop the potential disaster they might bring to Earth? I've said it before, we must always be wary of these two religious forces."

Now, are we planning to take action against them?

"Tony, can you beat them?"

Tony immediately deflated at the mention of this.

If a real fight breaks out, neither of these two religious groups will be easy to deal with. Kaecilius's Church of Dagon might be easier to handle, but the Ancient One's Brotherhood of the Yellow Kings will be much more difficult to deal with.

If a real fight breaks out, who knows which side will be wiped out.

"At the very least, if we send out all our forces, we can at least wipe out the Dagon Church."

Is Casillas really that unremarkable?

Xia Ling touched her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. She had suffered from appearing too early; after putting on a show, she was immediately exposed for what she really was.

That makes sense. Kaecilius was originally just a tool, a tool used by the Ancient One to test Doctor Strange. In the end, she even squeezed out all of Doctor Strange's usefulness and used him to die and escape.

Unexpectedly, he was also completely outmatched by Xia Ling, which can only be blamed on his lack of skill.

"Tony, you misunderstood me. We're not going to engage in direct armed conflict with them, much less launch a full-scale attack to eliminate either side. We just need to monitor them, monitor them, that's all."

"It's surveillance again, Director Xia. This strategy will only lead the situation into an unpredictable abyss, and then we'll all suffer!"

Tony was indignant about Xia Ling's plan, and he turned to look at Thor, who was still drinking.

"Thor, don't you think we should take the initiative and eliminate the two Dagon churches?"

"Hiccup."

Thor hiccuped and noticed that everyone's eyes were on him. He looked at Loki, trying to get an answer from his brother's face.

Loki desperately turned his head away, refusing to let Thor see him. Seeing his brother's reaction, Thor had no choice but to speak up, saying, "I think the director is right. I will always support the director!"

That disloyal bastard!

Tony stared at Thor's gleaming eyes, his teeth itching with hatred.

He treated him to good food and wine every day, and he betrayed him just because of one sentence from Xia Ling. He's so disloyal!

Seeing that Thor couldn't be relied on, Tony looked at Natasha, Coulson, and Hawkeye. Before Tony could speak, the two of them said in unison.

"The bureau chief is right!"

Well, it's no surprise that the three agents wouldn't dare to defy their director; that was to be expected.

Despite his reluctance, Tony gave up his last hope.

"Hey, Tin Man, you haven't asked me yet."

Loki glared at Tony, annoyed. This Misgardian had asked everyone but him? Was he looking down on him?

"You? Give me a break, you're completely useless. Asking you is pointless."

Tony scoffed, a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he had already seen through Loki's thoughts.

"Hey Tony, even if Loki hasn't achieved many feats of honor, he's still a prince of Asgard. Watch your words."

Loki was instantly enraged. He stood up abruptly, and before he could even speak, his brother Thor stood up for him.

"You mean someone who's a magician, yet he tries to stab people with a knife, and that's bad enough, but he misses several times and gets knocked down by a single punch from the enemy? Is that your brother?"

Thor immediately fell silent, and meeting Loki's murderous gaze, he slowly said, "It's all because Father didn't teach him well."

Seeing that this scene of fatherly love and filial piety was about to turn into brotherly affection, Xia Ling stepped in to mediate.

"Alright, that's enough. Sit down. Loki, even though you're not very useful, you can at least draw fire, so I'll count it as a favor."

As for Tony, you saw what happened on the scene, and everyone supports surveillance. What do you say?

What can I say? What else can I say?

"Yes, Director Xia, you're right."

Although Tony was still unwilling, he ultimately chose to compromise.

Meanwhile, the arguments within the Dagon Church were even more intense than those within S.H.I.E.L.D.

"High Priest, we have reached the limit of our patience."

Evans shouted angrily, as did the priests present.

This anger was not directed at Casillas, but at the Brotherhood of the Yellow King.

Openly robbing believers and showing disrespect to the Lord is intolerable to any believer, let alone a group of fanatical believers.

"So, all your constant roaring, can it kill the Ancient One and her Brotherhood of the Yellow King?"

Casillas shook his head at the sight of the angry crowd of priests. He was furious, but what good would it do?

It's because they can't beat the Brotherhood of Yellow Kings, and he can't beat the Ancient One either.

"The actions of the King in Yellow Brotherhood are undoubtedly a provocation against our Dagon Church and a blasphemy against the sacred faith, but we still need to wait for the right opportunity."

"But High Priest, when should we go?"

Upon hearing this, Evans clenched his fists, but still tried to control his emotions and asked Casillas about the next plan.

Even though the followers were very dissatisfied, they dared not take action without the high priest's order.

That's the good thing about religious organizations; all power rests with the higher-ups.

"Aa ...

A tremendous roar suddenly erupted, and the priests were stunned. The voice was familiar; they had heard it more than once, but it filled them with dread.

"Look, hasn't this opportunity arrived?"

A smile spread across Casillas's face.
