Chapter 537 The Invitation of the Witch Heart Demon

Texas.

Walter Farm.

This farm, which used to be quite lively, is now eerily silent.

All the animals and people were scattered on the ground like dried corpses, drained of life and blood. Even the once lush green pasture next to the corpses had turned ashen.

And among these corpses, whether human or animal, the unseeing eyes were filled with unspeakable terror.

Under the watchful eyes of those who died with their eyes wide open.

Despite the blazing sun, Nick Fury and his group, who had come to the farm to track down the Witchheart Demon, felt a chill run down their spines as they walked across the silent farm.

"Click-clack..."

Watching the withered, gray grass on the farm turn to ashes at his feet, Nick Fury bent down and gently touched the seemingly intact but long-dead grass at his feet, and whispered:

"Has even the life force within the pasture been plundered?"

"It seems that after being injured by Erin and those mages, this demon who escaped from hell has become so hungry that he will eat anything."

He patted the ashes off his hands.

Nick Fury said to the group of agents behind him, "Let's go. Time is limited. Let's go inside and see what kind of surprise this son of Mephisto has left us."

talking.

A shadow fell over Nick Fury's expressionless face.

After the existence of the Skrulls was exposed, Nick Fury's sudden disappearance was not an act of fleeing from justice, but rather a deliberate move into the shadows to find a way to resolve the matter.

But who knew that while I was sitting at home, trouble would fall from the sky?

He sent a Skrull to Duke's side simply to better monitor Duke's every move and see just how much this guy, who was secretly investigating him on orders from the World Security Council, had actually found out.

It's just to make it easier for me to deal with things in a targeted way.

Who knew that the Skrull he had sent would take it upon himself to attack Duke and intend to take his place and replace him.

If he succeeds, that's fine.

What Nick Fury found unacceptable was that not only did this idiot fail, but his attempt to replace Duke was also completely captured on camera.

That's good now.

Not only did it disrupt his plans, but it also created an enemy for him and even thoroughly angered the UN Security Council.

This has further strained relations between humans and Skrulls.

What Nick Fury found most unacceptable was...

afterwards.

Enraged, the UN Security Council used the blood analyzer invented by Tony Stark to actually find many Skrulls among high-ranking officials and their relatives around the world.

The number of Skrulls hiding among high-ranking officials around the world, and even replacing them, far exceeded Nick Fury's expectations and his restrictions on the Skrulls.

all the time.

Nick Fury believed that the Skrulls were under his control.

While Nick Fury sometimes uses the Skrulls' special abilities to his advantage when necessary, he also imposes various restrictions on them, strictly controlling their development.

However, according to information from the World Security Council and within S.H.I.E.L.D., the Skrulls he trusted were clearly out of control.

If Nick Fury hadn't been dismissed from the UN Security Council again, leaving him with virtually no connections or power, he would now have to rely on the Skrulls for help.

at this time.

The paranoid and cautious Nick Fury probably wouldn't even need the World Security Council to intervene; he could start a massive purge of the Skrulls on his own.

but.

This also made Nick Fury more distrustful of the Skrulls, who were in the same boat as him.

That is why Nick Fury, who was secretly searching for the Heart of the Witch, did not bring a single Skrull with him.

······

A few minutes later.

I initially thought this farm was just another Nick Fury farm, the same place where he had slaughtered people when I was tracking down the Witchheart.

But an unexpected discovery was made inside a warehouse deep within the farm.

"Chief, two suspicious-looking men dressed in black robes have been found outside the warehouse in the northeast corner of the farm. According to the life detector, there are other living people inside the warehouse."

In the once desolate farm, several living people suddenly appeared.

This immediately drew Nick Fury's attention, and it also reminded him of the monster who had caused the tragedy on the farm.

Nick Fury, instantly tensing up, said in a deep voice, "The suspicious-looking guy in the black robe? Is he one of those demon cultists who appeared a few nights ago?"

"Never mind, that's not important. Did you detect any high-energy reactions in that warehouse?"

The battle that ambushed Ghost Rider directly wiped out seven or eight out of ten of Texas's elite demon cultists. Not to mention, afterward, Erin helped Wong extract contact information for many other demon cultists from a few survivors.

Thanks to the efforts of those Kamar-Taj sorcerers, eight or nine out of ten demon cultists in Texas have now been wiped out.

The Demon Heart and another escaped demon lord have also bewitched a group of demon followers in the past few days.

However, the quality varies greatly.

Let alone superhumans, even Nick Fury doesn't really care about these people.

Because, in the past few days, Nick Fury, in his pursuit of the Witchheart Demon's whereabouts, has also killed some of these demon cultists.

Compared to those demon cultists, the Witchheart Demon who might still be in that warehouse is far more dangerous.

Upon hearing Nick Fury's question, an agent who was secretly scanning the warehouse with equipment shook his head: "No high-energy reaction was detected, but there is some kind of unknown force field interference in the warehouse. We cannot rule out the possibility that the equipment was interfered with and the detection was wrong."

After the agent with the equipment on his back finished speaking, another agent behind Nick Fury, covered in weapons, asked, "Director, what's our next step?"

He pondered for a moment.

Nick Fury glanced at the warehouse not far away, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Dis, take your men and take that warehouse."

"yes!"

Dis waved his hand.

The seven or eight agents following behind him quickly dispersed and silently made their way to the warehouse in the northeast corner of the farm.

A few minutes later.

The team members' voices quickly came through the communication channel in Dis's headset.

"Report, sniper in position number one is in place;"

"Report, sniper position 2 is in position..."

Amid a series of reports, all team members arrived at their designated locations as planned.

Dis said in a deep voice, "Everyone, move out."

As soon as Dis finished speaking, two silenced bullets instantly pierced the heads of the two black-robed men guarding the warehouse entrance.

"Bang bang..."

With the thud of two heavy objects falling to the ground, a voice suddenly came from inside the tightly closed warehouse: "What's that noise outside? Where are the Hannibal brothers? They're so quiet. Blackface, take some men and go see what's going on..."

"Creak!"

As the heavy wooden door turned and the warehouse door was opened, several figures rushed towards the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse.

The two people who had just pushed open the door, along with a group of people beside them, immediately changed their expressions and hurriedly tried to close the open door.

but.

With two barely audible gunshots, the two men in black robes who were responsible for pushing open the warehouse door were instantly shot in the head by two snipers hiding in the shadows.

At this moment, the other men in black robes stopped paying attention to the dangerous door and turned to rush into the depths of the warehouse.

But the people smoking with Wei Wei, as well as a group of people passing by, all changed their expressions drastically. They immediately forgot what they wanted to ask, hurriedly threw their cigarettes on the ground and stomped them out, then turned and rushed into the building with the arched doorway across the street.

but.

They soon discovered that the bullets were traveling much faster than they could run.

"Da da da..."

With a burst of submachine gun fire, those who turned to run away fell into pools of blood after only a few steps.

And this time.

The first few special agents to charge in had already reached the warehouse entrance.

But just as they reached the door, a man dressed in a priest's robe, whose status was clearly a level higher than those in black robes, suddenly walked out of the warehouse.

It happened to be blocking their way.

Just as they raised their submachine guns, aiming them at the suddenly appearing figure, the man in the black priest's robe pointed at them and whispered:

"fear!"

The next second, several streaks of black smoke struck the agents at the warehouse entrance, who were about to raise their guns and fire, with lightning speed.

Immediately afterwards, a thin mist clouded the eyes of the agents who had been hit by the black energy.

A sudden surge of palpitations, panic, and extreme fear instantly overwhelmed their will.

This caused them to instinctively drop their weapons and then scatter like headless flies.

As these agents were overwhelmed by the [Fear Spell] and fled in panic, inside the warehouse, some black-robed figures carrying rifles, shotguns, and pistols also raised their weapons and mercilessly pulled the triggers on these fleeing agents.

Looking at the agents who had been instantly defeated by his fear spell, a hint of disdain and fascination flashed across the face of the man in the black priest's robe.

What he disdained were those special agents who had been easily defeated by his own mage.

He was obsessed with the extraordinary power he had just been given.

It was worth it to betray his adoptive aunt's family and then sacrifice his own blood relatives, as well as the lives of all the people and animals on the farm, to obtain the extraordinary power bestowed by his master.

"Heh, as expected, mortals are no match for the power bestowed upon them by their master."

"And having mastered these powers, I will also control the life and death of ordinary people, becoming..."

"Whoosh... Boom!"

Just as the man in the black priest's robe was lost in his fantasies, a rocket suddenly ripped through the sky and, to the black-robed priest's horrified gaze, blasted him into a pile of minced meat.

His beautiful dream was shattered before it even began.

Although the black-robed priest pleased the Demonic Heart through blood sacrifice and was granted some extraordinary power, his body was still a weak flesh and blood body, and he could not withstand the bombardment of rocket artillery at all.

"GOGOGO!"

With the Black Priest dead and the interference of supernatural powers gone, the other demon cultists were no match for the elite agents brought by Nick Fury.

Soon.

They then resolved the battle inside the warehouse.

······

Upon entering the warehouse, Nick Fury immediately noticed the rows of empty iron cages on either side of the entrance.

However, the bloodstains that could be seen on the cages from time to time, which were still wet, indicated that not long ago, something else had been kept in these empty iron cages.

"Were people previously kept in these cages?"

Looking at the empty cage, Nick Fury seemed to have some ominous feeling.

Not long after passing through the warehouse gate, a pungent smell of blood confirmed his ominous suspicion.

In the dimly lit warehouse, several braziers flickered.

In the center of the warehouse, a large pit several meters in diameter had been dug out, and at the bottom of the pit, there was a layer of dried blood.

Beneath the blood plasma, the shapes of human bones are faintly visible.

"Blood sacrifice!"

"Those lunatics actually held a blood sacrifice here."

"Damn it, so much blood! How many people did those lunatics sacrifice?"

"Are all the police officers in Texas idiots? So many people were sacrificed, and they didn't even realize it?"

Although Nick Fury breathed a slight sigh of relief at not seeing the demons in the warehouse, the scene that appeared before him was intensely stimulating his nerves.

However, just as Nick Fury's expression turned extremely ugly, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Are you looking for me, mortal?

This sound did not originate from reality, but from the spiritual world.

Standing beside the dried-up pool of blood, Nick Fury suddenly felt like he was being watched.

In that instant, everything before Nick Fury's eyes seemed to distort, taking his mind into a blood-red world.

Strands of blood dripped from the sky like raindrops, and the lingering stench of blood seemed to thicken the surrounding air.

Endless murmurs echoed in Nick Fury's ears, constantly stirring his mind.

Just then.

Suddenly, endless blood gushed forth from the once-dried-up pool of blood, which then coalesced into a colossal throne of terror.

On the throne, which seemed to be stained crimson with blood, a hazy figure cast an interested glance toward Nick Fury.
