I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 520

Faced with Dr. Banner's complaints, Erin could only express his helplessness.

After all, someone with his talent isn't easy to find.

After calming Dr. Banner down, who was feeling a bit irritable due to too much work lately.

Erin then received a text message from Fregra.

Tell him that a special guest has arrived at Miracle Building.

As soon as Erin stepped out of the elevator, he saw George, whose expression was unusually solemn, standing opposite the New York Police Department Commissioner in the reception room not far away, exchanging something with a serious expression.

Upon seeing George appear in the reception room, Erin chuckled at Fregra, who was walking towards him with a tablet in hand, and said, "It seems those guys inside are really desperate, otherwise they wouldn't have brought George over as an intermediary."

Upon hearing this, Fregra, who had walked up to Erin, said, "They have no choice but to hurry. Fifteen minutes ago, seven or eight huge whirlpools suddenly appeared in the Becco River. These whirlpools swallowed seven or eight boats that were sailing nearby, including a yacht carrying a state legislator. On both sides of the Becco River, some people said they saw demons in the middle of the whirlpools."

"In addition, a sudden sinkhole occurred in the town of Horns, Texas. When the rescue team arrived, they found that the bodies of the townspeople who had been swallowed by the sinkhole had all... disappeared. What disturbed them even more was that a large crater had appeared where the church used to be in the town center."

As he spoke, Fregra opened the tablet he was holding, selected a video, and handed it to Erin.

In that video.

Erin could clearly see that in the center of the large pit, there was a stone platform carved with various intricate patterns.

In the center of the stone platform, dark chains intertwined, firmly locking a huge, dark red object to the platform.

This is······

Upon seeing the appearance of the dark red object, Erin frowned deeply.

Because that dark red object, nearly ten meters in diameter, was actually a huge, solidified piece of dark red flesh.

A lump of flesh composed of twisted limbs, sunken facial features, and countless pieces of flesh that have lost their skin and are now exposing bloody muscle fibers.

It was like a specially crafted offering, laid bloody on the stone platform carved with various intricate patterns.

However, at this time...

The offering looked as if it had been consumed; it had completely lost its luster and become unusually dry and dull.

Seeing Erin's furrowed brow, Fregra continued, "It is said that when this thing was first discovered, the corpses on the stone platform were still writhing unconsciously, as if they were still alive, still... breathing."

"No, they were already dead the moment they were placed on the altar. The reason their corpses are writhing is that the thing under the altar is using the ritual to extract the essence of their flesh and blood."

After saying this in a deep voice, Erin's mood became inexplicably heavy.

Without a doubt, both the ships swallowed by the whirlpool and this bloody and eerie altar were the work of the two demon lords who had escaped earlier.

Their goal, without a doubt, is to restore their own strength.

but.

During the pursuit, they still dared to wreak havoc so wantonly. It seems that those two demon lords who just sneaked in from the Hell Dimension are even more reckless than Erin had imagined.

They are also more cunning and difficult to deal with.

Upon sensing Erin's divination or their own danger, these two will shamelessly flee without hesitation. Once they no longer sense any threat, they will unhesitatingly slaughter ordinary people to heal their own injuries.

This kind of demon lord is much more difficult to deal with than that minotaur.

At their current rate of slaughter, it probably won't be long before they can recover most of their strength by hunting the flesh and souls of ordinary people.

Upon hearing Erin's words, Fregra's expression changed drastically: "Altar? Ritual? You mean when the rescuers discovered that bloody human tower, a demon lord was performing a ritual below it, extracting the essence of flesh and blood from the corpses on it?"

Nodding, Erin looked at the photos taken later next to the video and said, "That's right, that guy should have been in that negotiation back then, but by now, that demon lord should have run away long ago."

After saying that, Erin looked at the reception room not far away and said, "We can't let those two guys recover like this any longer. Let's go see those guys inside."

······

Inside the luxurious reception room on the 13th floor of the Miracle Building.

At this moment, a number of people had gathered in the reception room.

New York City;

New York Police Department;

Military;

FBI;

Even S.H.I.E.L.D. sent people over, and the person representing S.H.I.E.L.D. was none other than Maria Hill, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York office, who had met Erin several times before.

At this moment, neither Maria Hill nor anyone else looked well after seeing the blood-soaked altar.

Even the atmosphere in the reception room became oppressive as a result.

Just then.

The matte glass door to the conference hall suddenly moved and was then pushed open from the outside.

This commotion instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Upon seeing Erin enter through the door.

Everyone in the conference room was instantly energized.

After Erin appeared, before George Stacy, who had been specially brought over by the federal government, could speak, Maria Hill, who had her hair tied up behind her head and looked exceptionally capable, stepped forward and asked:

"Mr. Arlin, hello. I'm Maria Hill, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York bureau. I heard that not long ago, Mr. Arlin dealt with a giant bull-headed demon in Texas?"

Upon hearing this, Erin turned to look at Maria Hill, then glanced at the others in the drawing room, and said:

"No need for this roundabout probing anymore, I know what you want to hear."

"Not long ago, the Lord of Hell, Mephistos, reopened a portal to the Hell dimension in Texas and sent several demon lords, including his son, the Demon Heart, to Earth."

"Although the mages of the New York Sanctum discovered the invading demon lords immediately and engaged in fierce battle with them."

"But in the face of the premeditated Mephisto, the temple mages sacrificed several archmages to kill one of the hell lords and repel the most powerful witchheart demon."

"What happened next, as you all probably saw, was that after I rushed over and killed one of the demon lords, the other two demon lords, as well as the strongest Witchheart Demon, had vanished without a trace before I arrived."

Because of the Tokyo disaster, Maria Hill specifically went to look up information about hell.

That's why Maria Hill's heart sank when she heard the names of Mephistos and the Witchheart Demon.

While Maria Hill remained silent, George suddenly asked, "So, the demons that appeared on the Bekos River not long ago, and the culprits who caused the collapse of Horns town, were those the escaped demon lords you mentioned?"

Erin replied, "I'm not sure, but if nothing unexpected happens, it should be them. Whether it's those people on the ship who were swallowed by the whirlpool, or the blood altar brought out by the town of Horns, they are all methods they use to restore their strength."

"Having been greatly weakened after passing through the spatial passage and having fought a battle with the temple mages, they are now far from their peak strength. However, if we do not stop them and allow those guys to continue slaughtering living beings, it probably won't be long before they recover to their full strength."

"By then, these demon lords will become even more troublesome."

"Moreover, and more importantly, by then no one knows what they will do."

"The disaster in Tokyo before was orchestrated by Mephisto. Mephisto has always been obsessed with Earth, and this time is no exception. He even sent his son, the Demon Witch, to infiltrate Earth. No one knows whether Earth will fall into the Hell dimension if Mephisto's conspiracy succeeds this time."

"By then, the danger will be far more than just a disaster in Tokyo."

Upon hearing this...

The guests in the reception room all shivered.

None of the people present wanted the disaster that happened in Tokyo to break out within the Federation.

I don't want Earth to fall into a hellish dimension.

Therefore, upon hearing Erin's words, a military colonel present in Erin's conference room asked in a deep voice, "In that case, what methods are there to deal with those demon lords? Regardless of Mephisto's schemes, I think as long as these chosen pawns are killed, then whatever schemes he has, they won't be able to succeed, right?"

Upon hearing the military colonel's question, everyone in the reception room lit up instantly and turned to look at Erin.

"You're right."

Nodding, Erin said confidently, "As long as we can deal with those demon lords, Mephistos won't be able to hatch any schemes he wants. But the problem we face now is finding these demon lords."

"We at S.H.I.E.L.D. can help with that."

At that moment, Maria Hill suddenly said, "We at S.H.I.E.L.D. have the most advanced alarm system in the world. As long as those demons reappear, we will definitely be able to find them."

Upon hearing this, the federal colonel standing nearby immediately assured him, "Our military can also help with this."

FBI: "I can too..."

With everyone's assurances, Erin nodded: "In that case, please notify me immediately if you discover the whereabouts of the Witchheart Demon and the other two demon lords."

"I'll be there as soon as possible and take care of those guys."

As he spoke, Erin produced a map, seemingly by magic, that he had casually taken from the New York Sanctum. He then handed it to Maria Hill, saying, "This is a picture of the Witchheart Demon. If you find this guy, you can contact me immediately."

·······

After entrusting the search for the Witchheart Demon and the two Demon Lords to the Federal military, the FBI, and S.H.I.E.L.D.

After a brief farewell, Erin returned directly to the third basement level where Wanda and Pietro were.

During the meeting just now, Erin received a message from Duke anonymously.

He said he had already won over the warden of the prison in northern Sokovia.

Next, Erin can take Wanda and the Pietro District Jail to see Ayman Vardarica at any time and do whatever they want.

After half an hour.

Erin, Wanda, and Pietro "borrowed" from the New York Sanctuary in Sokovia and instantly appeared in front of the gates of the Sokovia North Prison.

Then, in the darkness of night.

They entered Sokovia's largest prison.

·······

at the same time.

under night.

On the otherwise dark and quiet highways of Texas, the sharp sirens of police cars and the roar of engines suddenly filled the air.

The raging fire of hell pierced the darkness, leaving a striking trail in the shadows.

Wherever it passed, everything turned to scorched earth.

At the end of the flames, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, its front end transformed into a hideous skull with countless wailing souls seemingly in its eye sockets, sped past amidst howling winds, its entire body engulfed in raging flames.

Atop a Harley-Davidson motorcycle engulfed in hellfire, sits a skeleton also blazing with flames.

The hellfire, powerful enough to melt any steel, easily reduced the asphalt-paved ground to scorched earth, yet it couldn't scorch the leather clothing on the skeleton in the slightest. Instead, it added to its eerie charm.

"Boom!"

The Hellbike roared through the streets, shattering countless car windows and eliciting screams from the crowd.

This scene, which defied common sense, caused a huge uproar.

Countless car owners whose windows were shattered screamed and dialed the police station, trying to find some solace in the chaos.

Unbeknownst to them, in the dozens of police cars whose windows had also been shattered, the officers who had narrowly escaped death were now pale-faced and silent.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Amid the roar of the hellish motorcycle engines, countless Texas residents, jolted awake from their sleep, cursed as they opened their windows, only to witness a scene they would never forget.

Some quick-thinking young people immediately took out their phones and captured this unbelievable scene on camera.

Immediately afterwards, the motorcycle burning with hellfire and the flaming skull on it quickly became a hot topic of discussion online.

Some people drew parallels to the horrific events that had occurred in the town of Horns during the day, mistaking the suddenly appearing skeleton for a demon from hell.

The older generation, on the other hand, recalled the Ghost Rider who once roamed the Texas night.
