Spellcasting Gods

"You know us?!"

The woman's pupils contracted sharply, and she quickly dropped her fake smile, giving a wink to the stranger lying on the ground beside her.

Without saying a word, the latter pulled a pistol from under the ice, pressed it against Zhang Cheng's side, and threatened in a low voice, "Sir! My real advice is that you'd better come with us."

"Oh? Are you sure this thing will work on me?" Zhang Cheng's face revealed undisguised contempt.

Firearms, especially pistols, could not even penetrate the energy field surrounding his body.

Clearly, these people were unaware of his true identity, let alone the terrifying power he possessed.

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!"

The man swung his fist and slammed it hard into his abdomen.

next second...

Click!

"what!!!!!"

A crisp cracking sound came from his wrist as he swung his fist, and then he knelt on the ground, letting out a painful scream; he was probably broken.

"I warned you..." Zhang Cheng said sarcastically, pursing his lips.

Seeing this, the other Hydra members abandoned their hiding and immediately drew their weapons, taking down two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents before surrounding them from all sides.

The sound of gunfire threw the tourists on the beach into chaos, and they all fled in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that everyone around her was armed with guns, the woman who spoke first seemed to have grown bolder and threatened again: "Maybe you're not afraid of fists and feet, but that doesn't mean you're not afraid of bullets. Believe me, if you continue to resist, I don't mind breaking your legs."

"Break my leg? Why don't you try?" With that, Zhang Cheng grabbed the unlucky guy with the broken wrist and, with a little force, snapped his neck.

"Fuck! This guy's a madman! Open fire!"

"Fire!"

"Be careful not to hit vital areas!"

……

As soon as the order to attack was given, Hydra agents immediately pulled the triggers, and countless bullets streaked through the air, heading straight for non-lethal parts such as hands and feet.

Interestingly, these bullets were ultimately stopped by an invisible wall less than ten centimeters from the body, falling to the ground with a clanging sound.

“I’ve said it before, guns are useless to me. Since you ruined my wonderful vacation, I think you deserve a little punishment.”

The words had barely left his mouth!

Zhang Cheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snapped!

Except for the women, all the Hydra members raised their weapons to their temples and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

In an instant, brains splattered everywhere, turning Los Angeles' most beautiful beach blood red.

"You...you're a demon! You're a demon!" The woman was clearly terrified by the horrific scene that had just unfolded, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Zhang Cheng gently stroked the beautiful face with his right hand, then whispered in her ear, "Kill Daniel Whitehall!"

The woman shuddered violently, her eyes becoming extremely unfocused, and she kept muttering under her breath, "Kill Daniel Whitehall...kill Daniel Whitehall..."

Then she turned around, ignoring the corpses with their heads blown off on the ground, and drove a car slowly disappearing at the end of the road.

Chapter 531 The Last Holiday (Part 2)

Daniel Whitehall was one of Hydra's most outstanding scientists during World War II, and also a pioneer in modern history who was the first to begin studying Inhumans.

Like most Hydra members, he was quite obsessed with supernatural powers, especially the first mysterious object named 084 by S.H.I.E.L.D.—the obelisk—and he always wanted to unravel the mysteries hidden behind it.

However, with the failure of Project Insight and the downfall of Alexander Pierce, the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. was full of Hydra was exposed worldwide.

As a result, he had to hide temporarily to avoid being discovered by the US military, which was like a mad dog biting everywhere.

But all of this was shattered by a Hydra member who escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters!

Because this guy brought very important news!

News about creating super soldiers!

According to the other party, on the eve of the launch of Project Insight, Alexander Pierce made a deal with a mysterious person in exchange for two liters of the person's blood.

This blood can not only give a person unimaginable strength and regenerative abilities, but also greatly slow down the rate of cell aging. Even just a tiny bit can extend human lifespan by twenty to thirty years!

Without a doubt, Daniel Whitehall was smitten!

They immediately sent people to investigate where Alexander Pierce had been and who he had met recently.

Soon, Hydra agents discovered footage of Zhang Cheng talking face-to-face with Alexander Pierce in surveillance footage from a roadside shop in Washington, D.C.

Having no idea of ​​the real situation, he immediately decided to send out six action teams, determined to bring this mysterious person back.

At this moment, Daniel Whitehall was sitting in a chair, patiently waiting for his men to return.

Having been imprisoned by S.H.I.E.L.D. in a small, secret prison for decades, he has developed extraordinary patience and believes that the six task forces will bring back good news.

Just as he picked up his cup to take a sip of coffee, a young man rushed in, reporting urgently, "Sir! Something terrible has happened! Our task force... has been wiped out! Only Clarissa came back alive! She seems to have suffered a severe shock and is in a very unstable mental state."

"What?! All six fully armed action teams were wiped out!"

Even Daniel Whitehall, who usually liked to appear profound in front of his subordinates, couldn't help but stand up in surprise at this moment.

Keep in mind that there were six action teams!

Thirty people in total!

Moreover, each person is equipped with a large number of advanced automatic weapons!

Even if they were to face off against the U.S. military's strongest special forces, they might not necessarily lose!

But now, they actually wiped out the whole family just by kidnapping one person?

Oh, wait, there's one who came back alive.

Upon thinking of this, he immediately ordered with a grim face, "Bring Clarissa here! Now! Immediately!"

"Yes!"

The young man quickly bowed and fled his boss's office as if his life depended on it.

About six or seven minutes later, he returned with a woman wearing a sexy swimsuit and with a vacant look in her eyes.

This woman was none other than the one who had struck up a conversation with Zhang Cheng on the Los Angeles beach not long ago.

“Tell me! What exactly happened?” Daniel Whitehall asked directly, without any preamble.

As a scientist dedicated to studying supernatural forces, he had long since abandoned the primitive and low-level physiological impulses of humankind. No matter how beautiful or alluring a woman was standing in front of him, he felt nothing at all.

"Mr. Whitehall is asking you a question! Answer him now!"

Seeing that the people he brought remained silent for a long time, the young man next to him couldn't help but shout a reprimand.

However, this reprimand had no effect. Clarissa, whose pupils had been dilated, suddenly raised her head, grabbed a pen from the table before anyone could react, and rushed forward to plunge it into Daniel Whitehall's left eye.

While inserting the weapon, he roared like a madman, "I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere!

Daniel Whitehall, one of the masterminds behind Hydra, was killed by his own men without any explanation.

Moreover, his sudden and unexpected death plunged the secret research center belonging to Hydra into chaos. Two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Gemma Simmons and Bobby Morse, who were lurking inside, took the opportunity to steal a large amount of intelligence and voluntarily withdrew from this place of trouble.

……

At the same time, Zhang Cheng also left Angel City and took a Quinjet to the headquarters of the Avengers Tower.

Just a few hours earlier, the woman who claimed to be the creator had finally conveyed a message through a parchment scroll: he was free to leave this world and return to the Tower of Time at any time.

According to a private agreement with Nick Fury, he had to leave in Fury's presence.

In short, the one-eyed bureau chief was a little uneasy, fearing that he might be up to something in the shadows, and wanted to use a series of instruments to confirm whether he had really left or was just playing tricks.

After flying along the predetermined route in the stratosphere for about an hour, the Quinjet pilot finally began to descend and eventually landed slowly on the helipad of Avengers Tower.

As soon as the hatch opened, they saw "Egg" waiting at the door with a large group of Avengers. Apart from Thor, everyone else was there, including the Hulk, Dr. Bruce Banner.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect so many people to come and see me off. Should I feel honored?" Zhang Cheng said jokingly as he got off the plane.

"Honored? No, we should be the ones feeling honored. You know, a dragon that only exists in myths and legends isn't something you see every day, let alone the interesting notebook you gave me." Tony Stark waved the parchment-bound "Introduction to Magic" in his hand.

"Oh? The director actually told you my true identity? That's quite unexpected. I thought he would keep this secret to himself and take it to his grave." With that, Zhang Cheng led the way through the door and into the interior of the building.

It must be said that this Avengers headquarters, built at great expense, is indeed very advanced. The intelligent butler Jarvis is voice-controlled and can not only independently research, manufacture, and repair the entire system, including robots and aircraft, but also has a full range of entertainment facilities.

The fine wines alone in the cabinets behind the bar in the lobby are enough to equal the total annual income of more than a hundred middle-class American families who didn't eat or drink for a single day.

As the saying goes, do you think money can buy happiness?

No! You can't even imagine their happiness!

As one of the richest people on this planet, Iron Man is the target of countless criticisms from economic experts.

Many people only see his so-called selfless acts of "saving the world," but they overlook the fact that he is one of the few who controls 99 percent of the country's wealth.

From a financial perspective, his Stark Industries was essentially a massive trust monopoly, whose destructive impact on the overall economic structure was unparalleled…

Chapter 0532 Departure

Of course, how Tony Stark uses his monopoly to amass wealth, or whether he's a hypocrite, has nothing to do with Zhang Cheng.

In his view, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who can bring him benefits and those who cannot.

Without a doubt, Iron Man belongs to the former category.

After briefly answering some questions the other party had about the difficulties they encountered in learning magic, he immediately received a gift in return.

To be precise, it was Tony Stark who, with the help of a supercomputer, scrambled and rearranged countless magical runes for testing, and that was the final result.

There were a few sequences among them that he had never even considered.

No wonder Thanos, the emperor of the universe, called him "the one cursed by knowledge." His fervent pursuit of knowledge alone is enough to inspire both admiration and fear.

"So you mean, the easiest way to cast a spell is to construct a model of the spell in your mind?"
