Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Unfortunately, the magic dagger could only leave sparks on the heavy armor, without causing any damage.

Instead, the shock made their hands ache.

Bucky ignored the three enthusiasts who were giving him gua sha. He stared at the expressionless Asian enthusiast in front of him, at the dark mark on the other man's forehead.

A conclusion was reached.

“These are the traitors of the underworld, beyond redemption. We can’t get any information out of them through normal methods. Nydy, they’re yours.”

With a casual flick of his wrist, he tossed the Asian fanatic into front of the Ravens' formation.

Then he swung his hand and punched each of the remaining three fanatics, knocking them unconscious.

Nydy, at the very front of the ravens, knelt down on one knee in front of the Asian fanatic, extended a finger, ignored the other's indifferent gaze, tapped the other's forehead, and then closed her eyes.

An invisible mental force instantly passed through the fanatic's mind.

"Tsk, his consciousness is almost assimilated by the darkness, no wonder he's so indifferent."

While reading her memories, Jennifer complained in Nettie's mind that she disliked that kind of power; it was evil and could corrupt you like a worm clinging to your bones.

Without special means, the soul will be assimilated sooner or later, becoming a slave and lackey of darkness.

They don't even have their own thoughts and emotions.

Chapter 161 The Manhattan Incident That Shook the World (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Aha, found it. It was really difficult."

Nydy ignored Jennifer's complaints and focused solely on reading the memories, which she did manage to do so quickly.

Fortunately, we had made preparations in advance.

Matthew had set up a magical barrier that included special suppression magic against darkness.

As soon as these idiots step into the base, they will be immediately suppressed, or even locked down, preventing them from communicating with or drawing upon the darkness.

Simply put, it severed the connection between the fanatics and the darkness from the bottom up.

Even without the support of darkness, Nydy still has the base's magical barrier access, making it incredibly easy for her to read memories.

After reading the memories, a look of solemnity flashed across Nydy's delicate face, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn it!"

She stood up and turned sharply around.

Bucky, wearing power armor, walked up to her.

"Is it serious?"

“It’s extremely serious.” Nydy sensed the gravity of the situation and said in a low voice, “Casillas is going to open a portal to hell in Manhattan, New York.”

"Thus, they unleash demons, summoning demons to turn the earth into a hellish realm. They intend to sacrifice the souls of the entire city to build a permanent gate to hell."

"Can Casillas do it?"

Bucky was equally shocked by Nydy's words, as were the warriors of both chapters, but everyone remained silent.

Everyone disciplined themselves, telling themselves that they had to remain calm in this situation.

Nydy shook her head: "He can't do it himself, but from this guy's memories, Kaecilius is very confident, so it should be related to Dormammu."

“The creatures that have appeared in other parts of the world are just appetizers, attracting a part of our power and that of Kamar-Taj.”

"The real destination is Manhattan."

"And I think it might have already started over there."

As Nydy was speaking, sure enough, she, Bucky, Kara, Melina, and the others received a message from the Information Department through their satellite earpieces.

"There's something unusual happening in Manhattan. Kamar-Taj says there's a very strong surge of dark magic energy there, and we've also noticed a sharp increase in 911 calls in Manhattan. Surveillance footage shows a large number of people seemingly being affected."

"There have been numerous violent incidents, but so far there have been no casualties."

"Rachel, Chapter Leader Natasha, and the twelve arcane mages of Kamar-Taj have gone to Manhattan to prevent violence from taking place."

"They need support over there."

The moment the message arrived, Nydy immediately looked at the senior executives without hesitation: "We have to move out immediately."

"can."

Bucky and Melina nodded immediately.

As for Kara, she spoke up instead, saying, "I'll stay and oversee the overall situation."

The number of people here is neither more nor less than her.

She can stay in the rear and mobilize resources and forces in New York. If needed, she can instantly deploy manpower to coordinate with the two major battle groups.

Of course, this is a time of crisis.

She would not mobilize this armed force casually if the situation was still under control.

"it is good."

Nydy was about to open the portal to Manhattan, New York, but she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some inexplicable force interfering with it, preventing her from opening it.

Just as Nydy frowned.

Sparks suddenly flew from the air in front of them, forming a huge circle large enough to accommodate seven or eight people side by side, and several meters high.

Nydy immediately realized that it was the BOSS who had made his move.

The BOSS was indeed paying close attention.

"GO, GO, GO".

As soon as the portal appeared, it seemed to be a street, where many people could be seen running around in a panic, and screams, car horns, roars, and cries could be heard.

Bucky immediately strode out without hesitation, and the other soldiers followed closely behind.

After everyone had entered the portal, it slowly disappeared.

Kara was left alone.

Kara's gaze swept over the Witchheart Demon, who had been watching the show. The latter's expression hardened, and he raised both hands, one of which held a long cup, looking quite comical.

"I'm very honest," Wu Xinmo said, looking obedient.

Kara smiled, glanced at the four unconscious fanatics on the ground, drew her energy gun from her waist, and pulled the trigger.

......

Manhattan, New York, can be considered the city's financial center.

It is also an area where crime is rampant.

Heaven and hell are one.

It's ironic that the rich and the poor live in Manhattan.

However, that night, Manhattan was struck by a terrible disaster, with both the rich and the poor suffering the most horrific attack of their lives.

They all saw something that shouldn't have been there.

demon.

At night, the streetlights of New York City, which never sleeps, are bright, but in the sky there is a huge window that no one pays attention to.

A massive vortex formed by black and purple swirling around, and at the center of the vortex was a scarlet world, from which came terrifying roars and shrieks.

One after another, hideous demons burst in through the window.

With a greedy, maniacal laugh, it charged down toward Manhattan to hunt its sweet and delicious prey.

None of the demons could believe that they would one day be able to come to Earth.

The demons didn't think about the reasons; they just wanted to taste the delicious food.

Whether it's flesh and blood or soul.

Unfortunately, the moment they stepped onto Earth, death came with them.

Then, terrifying beams of orange-yellow or azure-blue energy poured down from the ground into the sky like a torrential rain.

The dense beams of energy struck the demons' bodies, instantly piercing them through.

And it is very accurate, with very few misses.

Of course, the sheer number of demons was overwhelming, blotting out the sky, making it impossible to hit anything.

Corpses rained down from the sky.

It crashed onto buildings, onto streets, and onto cars.

A hunting party turned into a massacre.

The demons were astonished to discover that two extremely terrifying teams had appeared on the ground.

On one side were warriors clad in heavy, ancient, and sacred armor, and on the other side was a group of about a hundred women dressed in overcoats.

These armored warriors, mostly in squads of two or three, used very standard combat formations to cover every corner of Manhattan in response to the demons' attacks.

They are the most violent army, their heavy armor able to withstand any attack, not even the black magic or bewitching of demons can cause them any harm.

The women, dressed in trench coats and combat gear, became the most beautiful sight.

They are elegant assassins, the sharpest daggers. Though few in number, they can precisely weave through the battlefield of Manhattan, working alongside armored warriors to slaughter demons while protecting innocent civilians, and targeting criminals who choose crime out of fear.

This night was destined to shock the world.

The names Astartes and Raven will resonate throughout the world.

Chapter 162 Tony Stark's existential crisis (Seeking monthly votes)

That night was supposed to be a peaceful one for Americans, with a family sitting on their sofa at home, holding their child and wife, watching television together.

But unexpectedly, the program channel suddenly switched to the news channel.

A female host who is quite well-known in the United States appeared over there.

She was standing on a street, holding a camera with a slightly shaky camera. The host's voice trembled as she held the microphone. In the background, many people could be clearly seen running and screaming in terror.

You can also see streaks of orange-yellow or azure blue light piercing the night sky like raindrops.

The sky was filled with the dense, countless corpses of monsters never seen before.

A barrage of noise filled the air, causing everyone who saw the scene to sit up straight.

The father or mother instinctively reached out and covered the child's eyes.

The host's hoarse, tearful voice reached my ears.

"It is 8:13 p.m., and this is a live CNN broadcast. I am currently on the streets of Manhattan's 13th borough, and we are witnessing an unprecedented emergency."

"As you can see behind me, the streets are in chaos, with large numbers of people running and screaming frantically. Fuck."

As we were talking, a demon's corpse fell from a short distance away and hit a car, totaling it. The host was startled and instinctively yelled.

Then her professional instincts immediately compelled her to calm down and continue reporting.

“Just minutes ago, monsters we’ve never seen before suddenly appeared and raided Manhattan, and according to our reporters’ investigation, the area covered the entire Manhattan.”

"These unidentified creatures suddenly swarmed into the streets, attacking passersby and damaging many buildings. Our reporters tried to get closer to observe, but found that these unidentified creatures were extremely aggressive."

"We are still unable to determine the specific cause of this sudden situation, nor do we know the origin of these unidentified creatures. All we know is that the situation is continuing to deteriorate, and a large number of people have been evacuated."

"In addition, we can also see a group of soldiers wearing special armor, as well as a group of female warriors wearing red overcoats who also appear and fight against these monsters."

"We cannot determine the origin of these people. They may be a secret force trained by the government, but their purpose is clear: to kill those monsters and protect civilians."

"We are still unable to determine the specific cause of this sudden situation, nor do we know the origin of these unidentified creatures. All we know is that the situation is continuing to deteriorate, and a large number of people have been evacuated."

"We urge all residents in and around Manhattan to stay indoors immediately, lock your doors and windows, and refrain from going out. Please wait for further official announcements. We will remain on-site to provide you with the latest updates."
