I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 367 Aftermath

Go back to sleep?

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark looked at Arryn's slightly tired face and shook his head slightly.

Anyway, it's good that Aikelin is back.

Otherwise, if Pepper found out that he was just sitting by and watching her nephew stay in this place full of nuclear radiation, he probably wouldn't be able to get into Pepper's bed for the next few days.

Tony, who had finally managed to get Pepper to agree to be his girlfriend, didn't want to be sleeping alone on that cold sofa.

"Alright, whatever, as long as you're willing to leave here, do you need me to arrange a private jet for you at the nearest airport?"

Just as Tony was preparing to have Jarvis use Stark Industries' network to arrange a private plane for Arryn at a nearby airport.

Erin shook her head. "No need. I have a more convenient mode of transportation than an airplane!"

As she spoke, Erin turned her head and looked at the king beside her.

The moment Erin's gaze swept over him, the quick-witted King knew what kind of transportation Erin wanted.

"Of course, our teleportation portal is much more convenient than taking off."

He forced a not-too-bad smile onto his fleshy face.

With a slight flick of his wrist, Wang swept his hand across the air, and a halo bursting with golden and red sparks appeared before Tony Stark.

Looking at the halo of light in mid-air that was constantly shooting out golden and red sparks, and the Chinatown that appeared on the other side of the halo.

Tony Stark opened his mouth, and said in disbelief, "What the hell is this thing?"

"As you can see, this is an ordinary magic portal."

With that, Erin walked toward the portal that the king had opened.

"A magical portal? Holy crap, how can such a thing really exist in this world? This is illogical!"

Seeing the incredulous expression on the face of the famous Tony Stark, Wang couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Hmm, it's definitely not scientific, but it's magical!"

Ignoring Tony's teasing from Wang, Erin shook his head and stepped through the portal, appearing on the other side of Earth.

Stepping onto the land of Chinatown, where a trace of gunpowder still lingers.

Arryn turned to Tony Stark and said, "Don't waste your time there. Tokyo... there's no one left alive."

Done.

Erin then walked toward his own house, which was not far from the teleportation portal.

Before Erin could get close.

The tightly closed door of the three-story building creaked open instantly, as if welcoming Erin's return.

Seeing that Arlin was almost back home, Wang turned to Tony Stark beside him and asked, "Want to come along?"

Awakened by Wang's words, Tony was filled with anticipation, eager to experience what it would feel like to travel through such a portal. However, looking at the ruins of Tokyo, Tony ultimately shook his head.

Thor and Erin both told him that there were no living people left in Tokyo, but Tony still didn't intend to give up.

He could imagine the despair he would feel if there were still survivors in Tokyo and rescue was delayed.

Having personally experienced that kind of despair, Tony knows very well what despair feels like.

When he was at his most desperate, it was Ethan and Erin's origami cranes that brought him hope, and now he wants to pass that hope on to others.

Even if the probability is only one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred million.

Tony has no intention of giving up.

·······

Faced with Tony's insistence, Wang, who wasn't very familiar with Tony to begin with, didn't say much.

After closing the portal to Chinatown.

Wang, along with Cassias and Mordo, stepped through another portal leading to the Shanghai Sanctuary.

Watching the mysterious mages disappear without a trace after entering the portal.

Tony Stark asked, "Jarvis, did you record it all?"

Jarvis: "As per your orders, the entire process of those mages opening and closing the portal has been recorded."

"Great, archive this record, then create a task to conduct an in-depth analysis of this video. I want to know how this portal works."

If he can thoroughly understand the principles behind this teleportation portal and develop alternative methods to open this magical portal using technological means.

Tony believes this will be a landmark breakthrough in human technology.

This could even change the fate of humanity.

Ah!

If this technology could be applied to the Mark 17, it would greatly enhance the Mark armor's mobility.

After issuing the task.

Tony pressed a button on the Mark 17 armor, and the visor that had been opened earlier for easier talking and observation immediately closed up again, fitting perfectly.

The moment the mask closed.

A beam of blazing light shot out from the soles and palms of Mark 17, propelling Tony Stark rapidly into the sky.

at the same time.

The various detection devices on Mark 17 were also turned on in all directions, searching as much as possible for any survivors that might exist in the nuclear explosion.

········

It's unclear whether the king habitually cast a shielding spell when opening the portal, blocking the senses of ordinary people or something else.

Despite the pale light of dawn, many pedestrians had already appeared in Chinatown.

But no one noticed the conspicuous portal on the street, or Erin walking out of it.

Only the little monster connected to Erin's mind sensed its master's return.

Even before Erin arrived, they eagerly opened the gates to welcome her back.

After entering the front door of my own home.

Erin patted the little monster's excitedly protruding head and its wet tongue, then went into the bathroom and took a comfortable hot bath.

However, the hot bath did not wash away Erin's fatigue; instead, it made him feel even more exhausted.

After taking a shower.

After giving himself two vials of the [Millennium Potion], Erin buried his head in his bed.

The Battle of New York, the horror cruise ship, and the recent Hell Invasion.

In just two days, after countless battles, Erin was exhausted both physically and mentally, and her spirituality had been depleted more than once.

Therefore, within seconds, a soft snoring sound came from Erin's bed.

The moment Erin fell into a deep sleep.

It seemed as if they were afraid that the faint sounds coming from the street through the window would disturb their sleep.

With a flash of gray light, Erin's room fell into an eerily quiet silence.

at the same time.

A bottle of perfume that was originally stored in the underground laboratory appeared instantly in Erin's room as the wall silently undulated.

After dripping the special fragrant dew, which has the effect of calming the mind and soothing the soul, into the four corners of the room.

The little monster gently pulled the blanket up over Erin.

Then he moved quietly to the corner of the room.

After retracting its outstretched hands back into its body, the little monster, resembling a large trash can, silently crouched in the corner of the room, transforming into the most loyal guard, quietly protecting its master.

········

As time goes by.

The sunlight streaming through the window and into the room was constantly shifting its position.

While Erin fell into a deep sleep.

The disaster that occurred in Tokyo.

Like a drop of water falling onto the smooth, mirror-like surface of a lake, creating ripples upon ripples.

And it spread in all directions at an incredible speed.

········

Regardless of whether it is a demon that has emerged from hell, seeking to invade the human world and constantly unleashing terrifying slaughter.

It is still the Yamata no Orochi, the legendary serpent that stood atop Mount Fuji and unleashed the cataclysmic flood.

Or perhaps it's the group of magicians in yellow robes fighting demons from hell beneath the Tokyo Tower.

Both caused a huge uproar among humankind.

When six-winged angels appeared in the skies above New York, saving the city's residents time and time again.

The myths that existed only in history have now subtly illuminated reality.

However, at that time, whether it was the demons fighting on the streets of New York or the six-winged angels in mythology, they were just isolated cases.

That's why.

While ordinary people might be excited when mythological images come to life, their excitement usually lasts only a moment.

After all, an isolated case is just an isolated case. For ordinary people, the chances of ever coming into contact with either a holy six-winged angel or a terrifying demon in their lifetime are extremely slim.

But this time...

When demons from hell, like locusts, poured out of that terrifying hole that seemed to connect to the abyss, unleashing a horrific massacre in bustling Tokyo.

Ordinary people around the world were shocked to discover this.

It turns out that all of this was so close to them.

Especially after someone posted the video of the mysterious mages fighting demons online.

Everyone, from ordinary people to high-ranking officials in various countries, went crazy.

It turns out that being extraordinary is not an isolated case.

The appearance of that group of legendary mysterious magicians gave ordinary people extraordinary hope.

With the continuous appearance of demons, angels, gods (Thor), alien armies, and Hell.

Humans, who once thought they were at the top of the food chain, suddenly felt extremely insecure.

In Tokyo, the deaths of millions of people have completely ignited the unease and fear in their hearts.

Many people are even clamoring online for the revival of the myth.

under these circumstances.

The appearance of the group of mages excited them and gave them hope of protecting themselves with their own power.

Although in myths and legends as well as in various films and television dramas, magic has always been the privilege of a few.

But in this era of information overload.

No one considers themselves an ordinary person.

In most people's minds, the reason they are ordinary is simply because they haven't encountered the right opportunity.

Once they encounter the right opportunity, they will surely soar to great heights and become the pride of their time, like Tony Stark, the Iron Man.

Under the influence of this emotion.

In an instant.

The topic of magicians has become the focus of the entire world.

Amidst this terrifying heat.

Even the horrific nuclear explosion that destroyed millions of people in Tokyo was gradually suppressed under the guidance of those with ulterior motives.

After all, the deceased are gone.

Most people who are alive are more concerned about their own safety.

but.

The Tokyo atomic bombing, though pushed aside by a few individuals, has faded from the focus of public attention.

However, in another circle, this matter has attracted extreme attention.

Because only now have the countries to which those five nuclear bombs belonged discovered this in shock.

Of these nuclear bombs, one was launched at the request of the Japanese Prime Minister from the Federation, after obtaining approval from the Diet, in order to resolve the hellish disaster that had broken out in Tokyo.

The remaining four nuclear warheads were launched without the consent of any of the countries involved.

With the news that Tony Stark was about to launch the nuclear missiles, and that the individuals who might have been seduced by the Hell Dimension and become its puppets, this information attracted even greater attention from the World Security Council and high-ranking officials of various countries.

Soon, orders to arrest those who launched nuclear missiles were secretly issued by high-ranking officials around the world.

In this situation...

The federal government was horrified to discover that it was possible that more than just those who pressed the nuclear launch button were bewitched by the hellish dimension.

After the nuclear explosion, Japanese government officials discovered a body that had been dead for several days in the Japanese Prime Minister's residence.

The corpse was shockingly that of the current Prime Minister of Japan.

If the Japanese Prime Minister has really been dead for several days, then who was the person who requested the Federation to use nuclear weapons to destroy the rampaging demons in Tokyo?

Thinking about this...

A chilling feeling quickly washed over the minds of those in power in various countries.

This prompted them to add several new approval procedures for nuclear missile launches overnight, and they also unanimously increased their defensive forces around themselves.

While these guards and bodyguards may not be able to stop the demons from hell, they can at least provide them with a slight sense of security.

In this situation...

Those mysterious mages who could fight demons also caught the attention of these rulers.

Ordinary people might not be able to protect themselves from the demons' watchful eyes, so what about these magicians who can fight demons?

but.

Under the constraints of the Sorcerer Supreme, the Temple Mages, who advocate seclusion and have long mastered a system to shield ordinary people's senses and even memories, are not so easy to find.

under these circumstances.

Erin, hailed by countless people as a miracle magician, soon reappeared in everyone's sight.

Whether it's the miracle magician or Erinna's supposed identity as the reincarnation of a six-winged angel, they are both definitely figures from the mystical world.

Ordinary people are unaware of the whereabouts of those magicians.

What about Erin?
