Chapter 159 This Hammer of Winter, Kamar-Taj wants it.
Another mysterious palace.
After obtaining the parchment again, Casillas examined it and, finding no problems, promptly performed a summoning ritual with the other rogue mages.
These mages, corrupted by dark energy, only desire power and the destruction of the world.
It doesn't matter who they get their power from or who they let destroy the world.
Unlike Dormammu, the serpent responded to them.
Moreover, the giant serpent was extremely generous.
“My apostle, take up my arms and spread fear for me. When fear is spread across this planet, I will descend.”
A green portal opened, and a long-handled hammer exuding a cold aura passed through the portal and landed in front of Casillas.
Just one glance at the hammer sent chills down Casillas' spine.
Without a doubt, this is a divine artifact. It can provide the user with immense power.
With fervor, Casillas humbly picked up the hammer before him.
A name came to mind.
Skadi's Hammer, also known as the Hammer of Winter.
Possessing it grants access to the power of Skadi, the goddess of winter.
Just as Casillas picked up the hammer of winter, seven hammers fell from the sky like meteors and scattered across the world.
Although these seven hammers are not as powerful as the Hammer of Winter, they are still powerful magical artifacts that can grant their wielders extraordinary power.
More importantly, they can control their holders, turning them into apostles of the serpent and spreading fear for it.
In the night sky, Tony, who had just defeated Killian, was flying in his suit towards a newly built mansion in the suburbs of New York, taking a leisurely stroll.
Although he couldn't feel the wind, he could feel the thrill of flight brought by the thrust of the propulsion system.
This is something that portal spells cannot match.
"Hey Jarvis, is that a shooting star up ahead?"
"Sir, based on the high-definition camera footage, it has been confirmed that it is a hammer."
"A hammer? Thor's hammer?"
“No, it’s not Thor’s hammer,” Jarvis denied, then repaired the image and projected it in front of Tony.
“Oh, how interesting, a hammer falling from the sky. Come on, Jarvis, let’s go take a look.”
Tony changed direction and flew towards where the hammer had fallen.
Tony wasn't the only one who noticed that these shooting stars were abnormal.
"Chief Coulson, an unusual energy fluctuation has been detected."
At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, a young agent knocks on Coulson's office to give a report.
“Report the message to the council,” Coulson said listlessly.
"Director Coulson, shouldn't we send someone to investigate?" the young agent asked, puzzled.
"No need. S.H.I.E.L.D. is about to disband."
After a brief silence, the young agent replied unwillingly:
"Yes, Chief Coulson."
Coulson watched the young agent's departing figure, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Once upon a time, he was a young agent with great enthusiasm and a positive work attitude, who took initiative and responsibility.
I am very dissatisfied with those leaders who hold positions without doing any work, but...
Now, however, it has become the very thing I hated when I was young.
“Skate, come back.”
After hesitating for a moment, Coulson called out to the young agent who had just left.
"Get someone to prepare the aircraft. We'll go check out the unusual energy reaction site outside New York first."
“But, Director Coulson, isn’t S.H.I.E.L.D. going to be disbanded?” Skye asked.
Her previous silence was not because she was unwilling to give up the operation, but because she was unwilling to see S.H.I.E.L.D. disband.
Joining S.H.I.E.L.D. as an inside agent would give her access to more databases, which was very important to her.
She needs to use the information in these databases to find out the truth about her origins.
All she knew about her origins was a document that had been edited by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Coulson was unaware of Skye's inner thoughts; he still thought the young agent in front of him was just like himself when he was young.
Then, Coulson smiled and said in a gentle yet authoritative tone:
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is only about to disband, it hasn't disbanded yet. As long as S.H.I.E.L.D. remains in existence, it will continue to fulfill its duties and protect the people of Earth from supernatural forces. This is the responsibility entrusted to us by the World Security Council, and it is also our right."
Skye remained silent. She didn't care about these responsibilities or powers.
All she knew was that getting involved with these supernatural events must be very dangerous.
She was just an internal affairs agent; she had no intention of going on field missions.
“Okay, Chief Coulson. I’ll contact the action team for you right away.”
Suburbs of New York.
Tony was standing in the center of a large crater, several meters in diameter, looking at the hammer at his feet, his expression not good.
He was guarding the spot, making sure no one else touched the hammer.
Just now, when he tried to pick up this hammer, his mind was severely eroded.
Fortunately, through his daily arduous practice of magic, his spirit was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
It was only thanks to the slight enhancement from Russell's pure white energy that I wasn't directly controlled by the hammer.
Realizing something was wrong, Tony immediately dropped the hammer.
However, her spiritual world was still somewhat affected.
At this moment, in Tony's mental world, the pure white energy is strangling the green energy.
A moment later, a fighter jet arrived.
However, the markings on the fighter jets were not those of S.H.I.E.L.D.
As soon as the agents disembarked from the fighter jet, they spoke to Tony without any politeness:
"Hello, Mr. Stark. We are taking over the scene. Please leave."
Who are you?
“Intelligent Weapon Observation and Response Center (Sky Sword Bureau),” the agent replied.
"Jarvis, has this organization been registered with Congress?" Tony ignored the agent and asked Jarvis instead.
"Sir, the name of this organization cannot be found in the publicly available information in Congress."
"In other words, this is an illegal organization."
As Jarvis's voice rang out, the expressions of the agents present turned grim.
To put it bluntly, secret organizations like theirs that don't register are indeed illegal organizations.
It's just that no one usually dares to talk to them on stage.
An illegal organization naturally has no law enforcement authority, let alone the power to take over the scene and let Tony leave.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, another fighter jet arrived.
—The Quinjet from S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, strictly speaking, S.H.I.E.L.D. is also an illegal organization.
After disembarking from the Quinjet, Coulson ignored the S.O.W.A. agents and greeted Tony first.
"Tony, what are you doing here? Did you find anything?"
"I have the right to be in any non-private area of this world."
Tony first made a sarcastic remark about the S.O.S. agent, then offered an explanation.
"What fell was a hammer. This hammer is dangerous; it can control the mind of its holder."
"I suggest that if you want to take it away, you should use mechanical handling and keep people away from it."
“Thanks for your suggestion, Tony.” Coulson nodded gratefully, then gave the order, “Take the stuff back to S.H.I.E.L.D.”
"Director Coulson, this area has been taken over by S.W.O.R.D.." S.W.O.R.D. agents quickly stopped the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel.
For a moment, the situation reached a stalemate.
"Sorry, Kamar-Taj will take this hammer."
Tony said, "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean."
I am not only a young master, a billionaire, and Iron Man, but also a mage.
A sorcerer who is a candidate for the next Sorcerer Supreme in Kamar-Taj!
Golden magical fire flickered, and an iconic Kamar-Taj portal opened.
Tony had Jarvis control the suit's arm to bring the hammer back to the Sanctum Sanctorum in New York through a portal.
The Sky Sword Bureau agents tried to stop them, but were stopped by their superiors.
Power is authority.
The one who controls the most powerful force on Earth is the mage Russell of Kamar-Taj.
