I'm the Demon King in Marvel

'You must master magic as soon as possible!'

This is to learn advanced skills from foreigners in order to control them.

Chapter 207: How the American "Eagle" Learns Magic

This short but fierce battle shocked the American top leaders.

"What? More than 12,000 casualties?"

The generals in the Pentagon couldn't believe it: "It's only been less than an hour. Even the Battle of the Bulge didn't die that quickly!"

"What did we get? Just some crappy books? Is today April Fools' Day?"

"Watfa! You actually told me that there are still remnants of the enemy that have not been completely eliminated, and they will take revenge on us at any time?"

"Who is the commander? I want to shoot him!"

"Little Patton? Killed in action? Well, at least he didn't disgrace his family name."

"Why? Why is this damn fight happening?"

"Breaking into a magician's lair with a gun, in the middle of the night?"

"So that's how it is. No wonder a fight broke out."

……

After the news spread, there was a lot of discussion and accusations in the Pentagon, Congress, and the White House, and the financial sponsors behind the scenes were also very dissatisfied with Valentina Delafontaine.

But if they put themselves in her shoes and faced the situation at the time, they thought that Valentina's choice was not wrong.

We finally got to the lair of the magic forces, are we just going to run back without doing anything?

What a joke! Is this the American way?

If this were to happen, Valentina would be ruthlessly abandoned.

The financial backers behind the scenes of the United States don’t care how many soldiers die. They only care about whether they can get benefits, and even more about whether the backlash will endanger themselves.

If Valentina ran out without doing anything after entering Kamar-Taj, it would be incompetence. The sponsors would never keep a useless dog.

As for "friendly contact", it was impossible from the moment Valentina broke in with a weapon in the middle of the night.

why?

Because Americans will also empathize with others.

Ordinary Americans will be wary if faced with a stranger breaking into their home late at night. If the stranger is holding a gun, the owner can directly fight back and will not need to bear criminal responsibility afterwards.

This has long become the default rule in American society, as deeply rooted in people's minds as "stop at red lights and go at green lights."

Putting himself in their shoes, the magician saw them sneaking in with guns in the middle of the night. How could he possibly believe that they were here for a friendly encounter?

Rather than letting the magician take action first, it is better to strike first.

This is the spirit of free America!

……

"Damn Asian woman, I must kill her!"

Not knowing who was behind all this, Valentina directed all her anger at Jia Ying, believing that this Asian woman was the one who had set her up.

The other party deliberately chose to take her to the magician's lair in the middle of the night in order to block the possibility of her having peaceful contact with the magicians.

Because she was on guard, it was impossible for her to be unarmed.

The other party had obviously anticipated her reaction and the direction of the situation.

No matter how angry we are, the current dilemma must be resolved as soon as possible.

The magicians of Kamar-Taj have been talking about revenge, and America must master the power of magic as soon as possible.

"Mr. Brian, I promised to let you get in touch with magic first."

Valentina did not forget this guy's previous behavior, so she took advantage of the situation and used the "white dog" as the first round of test subjects.

"Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise. I wonder if you are willing."

Then he chuckled and said sarcastically, "Or do you still dare?"

Jack Bryan stared at the old woman, then swaggered forward and said proudly, "Why not?"

If he backs down today, the other party will certainly take the opportunity to deprive him of his right to share the spoils, and will continue to find fault with him. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Brian had no choice but to hope that he could master the power of magic as soon as possible.

"Very well, come with me."

Valentina led the way, and her trusted eunuchs followed behind, seemingly escorting Brian.

The group walked into the laboratory of the safe house.

The laboratories here are certainly not as good as the base, but today's research objects are just a few ancient books, and the people involved in the first batch of research are not PhDs in science, but PhDs in liberal arts.

The best semioticians, theologians, cryptographers, sociologists, archaeologists, etc. were all invited by Valentina.

After the financiers behind the scenes learned that she had snatched the magic book, they stopped blaming her for the time being and planned to decide on rewards and punishments after the results came out.

With the financial support of her sponsors, Valentina brought together this group of scholars in a very short time.

"Incredible, these books have a history of at least a thousand years!"

Several scholars in the field of archaeology gathered around the magic book on the table, wearing gloves and professional equipment to observe and judge.

"The decoration on the cover is in ancient Greek style, but the time doesn't match. Could it be because the book is too well preserved?"

"No, the equipment I have is not enough to accurately determine the age. I need to take samples and bring them back to my laboratory for professional testing."

"Ma'am, are you the person in charge here? We must take the books back to study."

Hearing the words of these old scholars, Valentina squeezed out the last bit of patience and emphasized: "Don't worry about the history of these books. I didn't invite you here to give me a history lesson. What I need is the content of the book!"

"Please decipher the text in the book as soon as possible. I want to know what is written on it!"

"You are doing the wrong thing. We finally have archaeological data that can overwhelm the East. If we don't figure out their age and determine their place in history, how can we write a paper?"

The old scholars began to refute, and their reasons were very good.

"That's right. Did you know that we in the Western archaeology community have always been suppressed by the Eastern ones? Sometimes we are even forced to forge cultural relics."

"This is a key part of enhancing national pride and has great publicity value!"

Since the economic development of that big country in the East, archaeological findings have exploded. After all, they have a long history, and any artifact you pick out is older than the history of the United States.

Not to mention America, even if you tie Britain and the whole of Europe together, you still can't beat them in the field of archaeology.

They had no choice but to resort to tricks.

Whenever there is an archaeological discovery in the East that shocks the world, they will also come up with one or two ancient artifacts at the right time, and then use the advantages of information channels to extensively publicize the brilliant history of Western civilization.

What the East has, the West must also have, and they must not be suppressed.

They were all fake things before, but now that they have real things, shouldn’t they be allowed to write a few good articles?

Valentina ran out of patience and simply pulled out her gun, slamming it in front of the old scholars.

"I repeat one last time, I want to get the information recorded in the book immediately, right away, accurate information."

After saying those harsh words, she did not forget to give the old scholars a sweet treat.

"If you give me what I want, you can take these books away and study them however you want. You can publish as many papers as you want."

"I can also help you contact publishers and even buy your first batch of research works."

"Can we cooperate now?"

The old scholars looked down at the pistol, then looked up at Valentina's serious expression, knowing that when a scholar meets a soldier, he will decisively follow his heart.

They gave up studying the age and appearance of the book and began to concentrate on deciphering the text.

“It’s Hebrew.”

"Seth, the son of the great god of life..."

Chapter 208: Mythological Background in Marvel

Faced with Valentina Delafontaine's military coercion, scholars began to translate the characters in the magic books with all their strength.

The mysterious ancient secrets were revealed before these scholars, subverting their previously formed cognition and world views.

"Unbelievable! This... Could it be that..."

Seeing government departments making such a big fuss and surrounded by skilled agents guarding with guns, scholars can't help but have absurd thoughts.

"Is it all true?"

According to the records they saw, the first living thing in the universe was named the Creator, also known as the God of Life.

After visiting the Earth, he used his life force combined with the natural forces of the biosphere to create a large number of ancient gods.

For example, the god of the underworld, Sithon, the earth goddess Gaia, Bellatozer, Harps, and the snake god Set, etc.

This group of ancient gods were active in the period when the earth was just taking shape. At first, under the supervision of the Creator, these gods were very honest, until the snake god Set murdered Harps and achieved the achievement of "the first murder on earth".

Since then, the snake god Set fell into a demon, ushering in the "Demon Age". Most of the ancient gods became demons and began to kill and devour each other, turning the earth into hell.

As the representative of the earth's natural energy, the earth goddess Gaia, also known as Mother Earth, was very unhappy.

So she slept with the god of life who created herself and gave birth to the sun god Atum.

Atum was very powerful and successfully eliminated a large number of rebellious ancient gods. Even the god of the underworld, Sithon, and the snake god, Set, were unable to defeat Atum together. Seeing that the situation was not good, they had to flee to other dimensions.

The essence of the Old Gods is a combination of the Creator's life force and the earth's natural energy, which means that energy can be superimposed, and that each Old God can become nourishment for other Old Gods.

Later, Atum discovered the secret as a matter of course.

As long as they devour the old gods, their divine power can be increased. Few old gods can resist this temptation.

So Atum turned evil and became the "God Eater", and began to consciously devour the old gods, even those who had not caused any rebellion.

He is addicted to it.
