I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 258 Mirror Travel

Just as Tony Stark and the others were trapped in the Thorn Cage.

Erin stared at the figure that disappeared into the distance, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Although the figure's aura had changed dramatically compared to a few months ago, Erin still recognized who that guy was.

"Norman Osborn..."

No wonder the seed I planted deep in this guy's heart lost contact with me. It turns out that this guy had become the infamous villain in the Marvel Universe—Green Goblin—at some point.

Moreover, it's not just any Green Goblin, but a true demon.

In the figure that had just vanished, Erin sensed the same demonic aura he had felt on Sloan.

A simple seed of the mind that one has condensed cannot control a demon, let alone a demon that possesses magical abilities.

On the battlefield just now, Erin clearly felt a strange magical fluctuation. It was that strange magic that amplified the fear in the hearts of the police and agents in the temporary defense line, causing their minds to collapse instantly, which led to the complete collapse of the temporary defense line that had been held for so long.

Previously, Erin wanted to find out who this hidden figure was in order to prevent himself from being attacked by a sudden black hand during the battle.

Upon sensing this guy's presence, they quickly gave chase.

However, I didn't expect that my pursuit would lead to an unexpected discovery.

"This is really interesting!"

I don't know if it was the antidote I gave Norman Osborn that changed his fate, or if fate was driving Norman Osborn in this world to embark on the path of the Green Goblin.

But no matter what.

Given his past experience of planting a seed of doubt in Norman Osborn's mind in an attempt to control him, it was clear that Norman Osborn was not on his side.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to flee immediately after sensing his pursuer.

Even earlier, he wouldn't have kept avoiding me.

"It seems we need to find some time to deal with this danger as soon as possible."

Just as Erin was about to finish off Norman Osborn, who had become a demon, the angel scepter mark on his right hand suddenly trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, an even stronger power than usual was bestowed upon Erin by the angel's scepter.

Feeling the angel's scepter mark trembling slightly on his arm, Erin chuckled, "After being dead for so long, you still can't forget your hatred for demons? Heh, you're quite enthusiastic about things like fighting demons."

"Don't worry, now that I know, I won't let such a dangerous enemy grow."

Erin doesn't have that kind of perverse pleasure in letting enemies grow and then reaping them all at once.

After determining the relationship between friend and foe, Erin's first thought was to nip the danger in the bud.

If it weren't for the fact that the Green Goblin flying machine beneath Norman Osborn's feet was too fast for Erin to catch up with, Erin would have already planned to make a move.

It seems.

To deal with Norman Osborn, we need to find a way to restrict or destroy the Green Goblin skateboard he's on.

As his thoughts raced, several ideas came to mind.

After a moment's thought, Erin turned and headed back the way he came.

The simplest way to suppress the Green Goblin skateboard beneath Norman Osborn's feet is for Tony Stark to build a flying machine that is faster than the Green Goblin skateboard.

As the most famous mechanical genius in the Marvel Universe, building such a flying machine is obviously not a difficult task.

of course.

Before that, I must return to the battlefield and help them resolve that mechanical crisis.

Otherwise, if something were to happen to Tony Stark, then he didn't know when the spaceship he wanted would be built.

To prevent accidents from happening.

Erin's figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

And not long after Erin's figure left.

A grotesque lizard head suddenly emerged from a manhole cover not far away.

After his bare nostrils twitched a few times in the air...

The enormous figure, its eyes gleaming with bloodlust, swiftly emerged from the sewers and raced toward the bloody remains of the mechanical beings that had been slaughtered nearby.

･･････････････････････････････････

"Um?"

"How come I've only been gone a short while, and already a Tree Realm Descends upon me?"

Having just returned to the battlefield, Erin looked at the huge thorn cage not far away, and a series of question marks flashed through his mind.

Just as Erin was wondering.

With the last trace of spiritual imprint in her mind, Kiris immediately spotted Erin, who had reappeared beside the battlefield.

"Boss, here..."

A minute later, through Kiris's description, Erin quickly figured out what had happened on the battlefield after he left.

Upon learning that this thorny cage, covering an area of ​​over a hundred meters, was created by a taboo item of S.H.I.E.L.D., Erin's eyes lit up.

S.H.I.E.L.D. actually has such a good thing.

Although the side effects seem quite significant, the power of this thorny cage is undeniable.

If I were to deliver a blow like that to Norman Osborn during our fight, he wouldn't have anywhere to run.

nice one.

After witnessing the power of this "Thorn Cage" firsthand, Erin immediately set his sights on it.

"Hey, Erin, hurry up and call S.H.I.E.L.D. These Thorn Cages trapping us seem to be getting tighter and tighter. If we don't find a way to control this thing soon, the robots won't be killed yet, but the ordinary people trapped in the Thorn Cages will be killed by this thing."

I don't know if it's because it lost its owner's control.

Over the past few minutes, even without Tony Stark and the others struggling or resisting, the thorny cages binding them have begun to tighten.

Tony was alright, protected by the Mark VI armor.

But ordinary people without armor protection are in a terrible situation.

As the space became increasingly cramped and the restraints tightened, the sharp thorns in some of the thorn cages even began to pierce into the bodies of those people.

At this moment, Kiris, who was standing to the side, also spoke up:

"Boss, I just tested it. The spikes in these thorn cages have strong paralyzing and corrosive properties. If an ordinary person is pierced by these spikes, they may die without even realizing it in a short time..."

"In that case, we need to hurry up even more."

After saying something, Steve took off the wireless earpiece from his ear, placed it in his palm, clenched his fist, and then passed his right hand through the gap in the thorny cage.

Steve's actions seemed to have provoked the thorny cage that had trapped him.

Almost the instant Steve reached into the cage, the thorny cage that had trapped him suddenly shrank.

next second.

Sharp thorns pierced through Captain America's well-protected bodysuit, leaving Steve's arms bleeding profusely.

"Next, once you leave this thorn cage, this headset will connect to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal channel. After obtaining the headset, immediately contact S.H.I.E.L.D. and inquire about how to control this thorn cage to rescue those trapped inside."

After feeling the stinging pain in his arm, Steve gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and forcefully threw the wireless headset in his hand toward Erin, who was dozens of meters away.

Steve's movements seemed to be interpreted by the thorn cage as a violent struggle.

The instant he threw out the wireless earphones.

The thorn cage that enveloped Steve quickly revealed sharp thorns, which then lashed out at Steve's entire body.

Upon seeing this, Natasha's expression changed drastically, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Captain..."

Even Tony's gaze towards Steve, who was risking his life to save ordinary people, became complicated.

"Why!!!"

Just as Steve was about to be overwhelmed by countless thorns and spikes, a slightly helpless sigh suddenly rang out.

Followed by.

Suddenly, a large amount of black flames burst forth from the small mirror that Kiris had thrown to Steve, quickly engulfing his entire body.

Sizzle sizzle...

Before the spikes could pierce Steve, the eerie black flames burned them to ashes.

Strangely, Steve, who was surrounded by black flames, was not harmed.

Just as the thorn cage suddenly sprouted a large number of thorny vines due to this change and swept towards the thorn cage where Steve was located.

Suddenly, a voice reached Steve's ears:

"Don't resist."

next second.

From the small mirror that had been blazing with flames just moments before, a fair and delicate hand emerged, grabbed Steve's clothes, and pulled him toward the mirror.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

The tall and imposing Steve Rogers was then pulled into a mirror the size of a palm.

Almost the instant Steve disappeared, a swarm of thorny vines swept in and engulfed the thorny cage where Steve had been.

Faced with the relentless, surging thorny vines, the eerie black flames managed to hold them off for a moment before being engulfed by the boundless tide of thorns.

"Boss, help!"

Upon hearing the voice beside her, Erin, who had just caught the wireless earpiece Steve tossed to her, dodged and kicked the rearview mirror of a car next to her towards the thorny cage in front of her.

When the car rearview mirror that Erin kicked into the thorn cage entered the cage a dozen meters away, a glimpse of Kiris's joyful face suddenly flashed in the mirror.

next second.

"Thump..."

Accompanied by two muffled sounds.

Kiris and Steve emerged from the interior mirror of the car that Erin had kicked away.

A strange look flashed in Erin's eyes as he looked at Kiris and Steve, who were practically huddled together in the cramped car.

Wow, that's progressing really fast!

Feeling the soft touch in his palm, Steve realized what his hand had touched and a hint of awkwardness flashed across his face.

After giving Kilis an apologetic look, Steve kicked open the passenger door of the car and got out with Kilis.

Watching Steve being led out of the thorny cage by Kiris through the mirror, Erin smiled and tossed the wireless earphones she had just received back to Steve.

"Here you go, Captain. You should ask S.H.I.E.L.D. about the Thorn Cage yourself!"

·············································

Not far away, Tony, who had thought Steve was about to perish, glanced at the cage engulfed by countless thorny vines, and then at the empty thorny cage where Gillis had been imprisoned.

Finally, he turned to look at Gillis and Steve, who had suddenly appeared outside the thorn cage.

That usually sharp-tongued mouth opened and closed, but for a moment it didn't know what to say.

a long time.

Tony couldn't help but curse inwardly.

[Damn it, if you have this superpower, you should have used it sooner!]

[He insisted on waiting until I had fully developed my feelings before using this tactic.]

Is it fun to deceive my feelings?

················································

Meanwhile, Natasha, who also witnessed this scene, looked at Gillies, who had led Steve out of the Thorn Cage using bizarre methods she couldn't understand, and a look of realization dawned on her face.

"A superpowered person? If so, this woman might actually be an old acquaintance of the captain before he was frozen in ice."

Natasha didn't know much about people with superpowers.

However, in legends throughout history, there have been quite a few people with superpowers who have long lifespans.

If Kiris is also a superpowered individual with a long lifespan, then it's not impossible that she knew the Captain when she was 70 years old.

and.

If she didn't really know the captain, that woman wouldn't have helped him so many times!

and many more.

Recalling the inexplicable hostility that Kiris had shown her before, Natasha's expression suddenly hardened slightly.

She seemed to understand the source of Gillies' previous hostility towards her.

Damn it.

That woman probably misunderstood my relationship with the captain, which is why she targeted me like that before!

Thinking of this, Natasha couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness on her face.
