Chapter 617 617: The King's Reality
"You know, Tony, Hydra's personnel are complex. I can't confirm everyone's information either, but what I can know right now is that the guy who attacked New York is a powerful magician."
Kaito Shirogane leaned back in his seat at the restaurant, selling out [Jin] without any psychological burden.
Tony Stark had rushed to the scene earlier but didn't encounter Jin. He only analyzed through videos and the tragic state of the scene that the attacker's destructive capability was astonishing.
Capable of releasing terrifying high temperatures and flames.
"I believe looking for him at night is a good idea. That magician has a very interesting characteristic: the closer it gets to noon, the more powerful his strength is. Conversely, his strength will begin to wane."
Listening to this handsome Asian man's description, Rhodey frowned; there was actually such a bizarre thing.
But when the attack occurred, it was probably around two or three in the afternoon. In other words, that intensity of power wasn't the norm. If they found the other party at night, it would highly likely be much easier?
Tony Stark was a very proud and arrogant person. He didn't like ordinary people addressing him by his first name directly. But for some reason, the Asian man before him exuded a unique spiritual charm.
Yes, Tony felt only this word could describe why he innately felt friendly towards him.
Kaito Shirogane was wearing the title of [Wicked Savior], simultaneously enjoying reputation bonuses from both the Order-side Villain faction and the Good Guy faction.
At the same time, if the Chaos-side faction was overly powerful, he would gain attribute bonuses based on the collapse value.
The capabilities of this title could be called comprehensive.
Kaito Shirogane described the intelligence on [Jin]'s abilities, while the Tree Herder occasionally supplemented a bit.
Just now, the condition Mercenary Tao proposed was to borrow Stark's technology to find someone for him in Norway.
Even if old and dying, the name of Odin was there. The Tree Herder and Mercenary Tao didn't want to place all their hopes on their own abilities.
What if the Mantra network was resisted or the controlled puppets were detected? They highly likely wouldn't find that God King on the verge of death.
Conversely, relying on the power of the technological side and searching with a force akin to a "census" would be much more convenient.
Of course, Kaito Shirogane didn't tell Tony he was going to kill Thor's dad, which also made Tony Stark agree without much psychological burden.
For the pragmatic Tony Stark, solving the immediate problem first was the key.
The result of their conversation was considered smooth. Tony Stark left with new intelligence, and correspondingly, he gave Kaito Shirogane a mobile phone.
And Kaito Shirogane also promised that if that group's danger level exceeded the limit, he would take action to help.
How much trust the two had in each other's words was hard to say, but at least on the surface, an alliance had been forged.
Kaito Shirogane subsequently took Artoria, whose malice had faded because she was full, and the Tree Herder, and took to the sky once again, flying directly towards Norway at high speed.
Above the atmosphere, in their ultra-high-speed flight, the three left behind distinct trails.
In Scotland, on a coastline with magnificent scenery and verdant green grass behind them, the Snow Witch reached out her hand, and a translucent bird landed on it.
That was her familiar, capable of transmitting messages.
"The message from Yun Wujiu is that the first wave of attacks went smoothly and has already attracted attention."
"He said [Jin] decided to launch a new round of even more massive attacks tomorrow at noon. This time, they will draw all the surrounding heroes over, and cause the deaths of some heroes and a large number of civilians."
The Snow Witch spoke thus. The twin codenamed [Trade Wind] was a man with light blue hair, a somewhat androgynous face, wearing a blue-and-white robe.
"Then we wait another day before starting the operation?"
He placed his hand by his ear, continuously listening to movements hundreds of kilometers away.
"Wanda and Vision have blocked all communications. They haven't realized New York has been attacked yet."
Trade Wind's voice was very soft. If one didn't listen carefully, one would ignore his voice. Usually, he and Monsoon would act together. Being forcefully separated this time made him somewhat uneasy.
Solomon sat by the edge of the cliff wall, his silver-white long hair swaying. The heterochromatic pupils in his eyes quietly watched Scotland's beautiful scenery.
This place indeed made one feel very peaceful, but it was a pity, it was about to end soon...
"No, we will also act tomorrow."
Solomon's plan shattered the Snow Witch's conjecture. Clearly, waiting until tomorrow when Jin's operation achieved great success, the heroes around the world would all be attracted by the supervillain in New York.
At that time, their plan to assault Scotland would be the easiest to execute.
Solomon didn't explain, nor would he change his decision.
The Snow Witch thought for a moment and decided to synchronize this information with Yun Wujiu.
A snow eagle flapped its wings and flew out from her body, but in the next moment, a resplendent ray of light shone.
Pfft!
The snow eagle melted in mid-air. That high-temperature heat ray, like a Dragon King's breath, instantly killed the Snow Witch's familiar.
The Snow Witch shuddered, turning around in disbelief.
"President, what are you doing?!"
Trade Wind already tapped lightly with one foot, his body sliding back hundreds of meters over the grass.
Solomon slowly turned around and stood up. His usually thin figure unexpectedly gave off an incomparably tall and grand feeling at this moment.
"What am I doing? Don't you all already know?"
"Why bother striking a pose at a time like this..."
Solomon looked calmly at the Snow Witch and Trade Wind.
"You two have docile personalities; I don't want to kill you. As long as you wait until tomorrow and start the operation here as agreed, I can pretend nothing happened."
Faint white feathers began to drift beside his body, and the surrounding air began to be filled with intense holy power.
That was the sign that Solomon's spell formula had already been activated. The Snow Witch felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She closed her eyes in pain.
"Why, President!"
"Why does it have to be like this? Can our Far East Magic Association not continue to exist?!"
A special force field radiated from Solomon's body, enveloping an area of one square kilometer in an instant.
Trade Wind, who was sliding towards the perimeter, instantly fell, and the magical radiance around the Snow Witch's body also immediately dimmed.
[St. George's Sanctuary] deployed.
The unknown Level 5 Esper ability, deployed.
Two power systems from the A Certain Magical Index world that couldn't coexist were harmonized together under the power of the Space.
Giving birth to a special power uniquely belonging to Solomon.
A true [King's Reality] uniquely belonging to him alone.
King Solomon managed the power of all magic. Therefore, within this domain, other magic and spell formulas would be delayed.
Only his abilities gained a priority enhancement.
"Do you still not understand, Snow Witch? I thought from the first glance you saw this ability of mine, you would realize my true colors..."
What kind of President would specifically create a domain that forbids other magic? Especially the President of an assembly on the magic side.
"The so-called Reincarnators are precisely this kind of product."
"And I, Solomon's path of magic, naturally is to devour the path of magic of all the rest of you, taking in everything, and transcending the limits of magic..."
"And that, is the King of Magic!"
