The world of magic was very mysterious and profound. A powerful mutant only needed enough talent, but to become a powerful magician, it was absolutely impossible to rely on talent alone. This was a profession that balanced talent and hard work, and both were indispensable.
In the complex magic system, summoning magic had always been known for its uncertain possibilities and great danger. However, compared to the complex and profound elemental magic, the advantage of summoning magic was that it was very simple to learn. Even a beginner apprentice might have a sudden burst of luck and summon a powerful follower. Of course, if one did not have enough power to control the summoned creature, it would be a disaster.
You could not expect the summoned beast or demon to communicate with you in a friendly manner, and even generously allow you to buy it on credit.
Speaking of it this way, it seemed that summoning was a spell that relied heavily on luck. But in reality, any Summoning Master Mage would always emphasize repeatedly when teaching their apprentices: Before the summoning, one must use all means to minimize the amount of luck involved.
To a summoner, accidents were always the most fatal.
"The fourth search begins!"
"Inject energy! Suppress the portal's reaction! "
With the issuing of orders, everyone in the entire underground research room was busy. This spacious laboratory was like a parking lot, filled with all kinds of instruments, which looked very sophisticated and expensive. Top scientists from all over the world were gathered here, forming a huge professional team to work together on one thing.
Did it sound very hot-blooded?
But unfortunately, they serve Hydra … They don't represent justice.
"To be honest, I really don't understand. We have invested more than one billion dollars in this laboratory, but so far, these professional scholars have given us an illusory answer."
Pierce stood in the observation room on the second floor, looking at the busy people below, and whispered.
"Maybe I should give them some pressure …"
"I don't understand magic, but I know that some things can't be rushed."
Agent Sylvitt stood beside Pierce, facing his boss's complaints, and replied, "After all, we have waited 70 years, and it doesn't matter if we wait a few more months, right?"
"After all, it's not that easy to accurately find a person among the stars …"
Agent Sylvitt looked at the crystal shining with a blue luster. It was placed in the center of the laboratory, and several large energy batteries were charging it. Every time it was charged, it would trigger the tearing of space by the Tesseract. Under the guidance of some black wizards who joined Hydra, the scientists suppressed the energy reaction to a frequency that would not open the portal, but at the same time allowed electromagnetic waves to scan the opposite side of the space.
They used this stupid method to find the Red Skull, the leader of Hydra, who was thrown into the universe by Captain America and the Tesseract in the final battle at the end of World War II 70 years ago. After the last discussion between the three largest factions of Hydra, the operation to summon the Hive was finally postponed, but they also reached an agreement that after the return of the Red Skull, the next summon would be the God of Mutants who was exiled to a foreign planet in ancient times.
But to be honest, this was not entirely a matter of luck. Red Skull probably left something on this Tesseract. In short, on the opposite side of the four open space rifts, traces of Red Skull's activities were found. These four places were almost in every corner of the Milky Way, so it seemed that Captain America's enemy did not die in the universe. On the contrary, he seemed to be living quite well.
"Alas, I hate to try my luck."
Pierce stood up, took one last look at the Tesseract, and said to Agent Sylvitt,
"You keep watch here, and inform me as soon as you have any news."
"Yes, sir!"
Sylvitt bowed his head and agreed. In his eyes, a strange light flashed and disappeared. He said meaningfully, "Don't worry too much, sir, I believe that we will soon find the people on the other side of the Tesseract, and then we will have an invincible army to conquer the earth for us. I have never doubted this."
While everyone on the earth was busy searching for their leader who was lost among the stars, a huge fleet was quietly moving forward in the universe between the boundless stars.
Unlike the fleet full of high-tech style in his impression, the starships of this army are more like some kind of metal monster from ancient hell. They have a fish-shaped body, swaying mechanical body, cruising among the stars under the action of hundreds of thrusters. At the front of the fish-shaped starship are two dark red detectors. Every time they sway, they are like the eyes of an evil beast, enough to make anyone feel fear.
Each of these special spaceships is nearly 200 meters long, and there are 30 such spaceships in this fleet. This is already a force that can easily destroy any interplanetary civilization.
"According to the current speed, how long until we reach our destination?"
Sitting in the captain's room of the largest fish-shaped spaceship, Loki, with a relaxed face, turned his head to look at the barbaric style of the communicator. There is a blue display screen, and in it is a fully armed Chitauri Captain. This is a race like the Bugmen, but they have developed quite good technology. They come from outside the Milky Way, and they are brutal and warlike. They are a force in their universe that makes people tremble in fear.
After Thanos Overlord easily destroyed the Chitauri's home planet, these cruel warriors not only did not resist, but on the contrary, they feared Thanos Overlord's terrible power and chose to obey, becoming the most powerful interstellar army under Thanos Overlord.
In the face of Loki's inquiry, the captain in a mighty combat uniform on the opposite side snorted disdainfully. In his opinion, a villain like Loki who only knows how to play tricks is not qualified to command the invincible army of the Chitauri, but he is afraid of the authority of Thanos Overlord, so he still replied arrogantly,
"It takes a long time to cross the Milky Way, Asgardian. According to the current speed, we need at least 52 cosmic months to reach your so-called earth."
"52 cosmic months?"
Loki frowned, "That's one month … It's too slow, I can't wait that long, speed up!"
"Ha, speed up?"
The Chitauri captain said disdainfully, "Do you know how much energy it takes for our fleet to make three space jumps? According to you, after a maximum of five jumps, we will become space garbage suspended in the universe! Even if it's an extreme jump, it's impossible to reach the solar system. "
"I don't need you to reach the solar system! Idiot! "
Loki was also angry in the face of this unruly alien. He knocked the scepter in his hand and said loudly, "I just need you to be as close to the earth as possible. As for how you get to the earth, that's my problem, not yours! I am the commander of this fleet, and my will is the direction you are going! Or … "
Loki's voice became gloomy, and he looked at the captain maliciously,
"Are you going to disobey Thanos Overlord's orders?!"
"Bastard!"
The captain on the opposite side slammed his fists on the command table angrily and yelled, "You're a piece of trash who only knows how to intimidate others! Maggots in the ruins of the universe! When you're useless, I'll personally twist your head off and use it as a drowning device! "
"That's a matter for the future …"
Loki didn't care about this malice, and he waved his hand like a king,
"Now, listen to my orders! Speed up! Jump four times in a row, and leave some energy to prepare for the invasion of the earth. "
Five minutes later, a dark red light unfolded in front of the fleet. It swept the space in front of it like a light, and quickly built a large square frame composed of four lines, like a door of light.
The largest flagship was the first to pass through the door of light. The void engine was started, and the big fish in the abyss roared and jumped into the wormhole with its tail wagging. Then the second ship, the third ship …
In the vast universe, before the mortals on earth were aware, an army of destruction was getting closer and closer.

"Ah! Don't catch me! Let me go! "
In Brooklyn, New York, a 15-year-old child woke up from a nightmare. That nightmare was so real. He dreamed that seven terrifying demons dragged his soul into hell, but they didn't eat him. Instead, they told him that as long as he completed a ritual, he could get everything he wanted.
"Phew! Phew! "
The child named Billy Batson breathed heavily. He looked at his hands and turned them over and over. Although he knew that the things in his dreams couldn't be treated as reality, he was helpless. That dream was really too real.
He raised his head and looked at the window of this messy little house. Outside the window, the sun had risen, which meant that Billy was about to start a new day of work. He got up lazily, put on his shabby clothes and a hat, and prepared to go to the newspaper office to get today's newspaper.
Yes, he was a newspaper boy. He needed to deliver the newspaper to the doorsteps of those who subscribed to the newspaper before noon. This job was very hard, but it was enough to support Billy Batson. Every month, in addition to the money he handed over to the gang, he could still save some money. Billy didn't hate this kind of life.
After all, for an orphan who had lost both his parents when he was young and had experienced the hardships of the world, this kind of hard work was simply not worth mentioning.
Walking on the street, he smelled the fragrance of breakfast coming from both sides of the street. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but he wrapped his clothes tightly and boarded the tram to Daily Planet.
The reason why Billy worked so hard was because he had a wish in his heart. He wanted to save enough money and then travel around the country. It wasn't for the young people to pursue the enjoyment of freedom. The purpose of his travel was very simple. He wanted to find his lost sister, Mary Batson.
Fifteen minutes later, he received the heavy newspaper. While riding on his bicycle and waiting for the red light, he subconsciously flipped the newspaper to the comic section. He liked the recently serialized "Mutant Legends" very much, especially the protagonist of this comic. He was the leader of the mutants, Saber, who led the mutants out of their predicament. It was said that this character was based on a mutant story in the real world. It was very popular among the young people in New York.
"I'm really looking forward to Saber leading the mutants to build a new country. And the love between him and Black Cat … Sometimes, I really want to be him!"
Billy rode on his bicycle, aimlessly thinking. Almost every child in the United States had a superhero dream, and Billy was no exception. He had also fantasized that when he woke up, he would have great power. However, compared to the other carefree children, Billy, who was busy with work, didn't have much time to fantasize. Soon, he started a busy day.
When night fell, he dragged his tired body back to his little nest. Before falling asleep, he leaned on the simple bed and looked at his hands. He couldn't help but recall the dream. It was so real that it felt like it had happened in real life.
He could even remember the details. It was like a brand that was engraved in his mind. The terrifying claws of the demons, their ferocious faces, and even the ritual they taught him, as well as the real name of the summoner they repeatedly told him …
The Great Demon King … Saber Hawk …
[Billy Batson, the legendary Shazam Superman. All you need to do is shout "Shazam" and you can summon the power of the six gods and become a bug-like existence comparable to Superman. Yes, comics are so unreasonable. I'm borrowing the character settings here …]
