Angel Power (35K)

Although Wanda desperately wanted to seize that blond young man immediately, she ultimately could not stand by and watch the tower collapse and cause devastating consequences.

Before their eyes, Wanda—the Avenger whose combat strength fluctuated wildly—actually stabilized the building on the verge of collapse with her current power.

This did not match the level she had displayed before. Of course, she had not yet reached the point where she could practically tear apart Thanos without the Stones by herself, much less her Scarlet Witch state.

Tree Herder, who had crawled out from underground, watched Artoria soar into the sky in pursuit of Jin. He stopped, and countless vines began growing from beneath the earth. In the blink of an eye, the tower about to collapse was covered in roots and vines.

Seeing them begin to contain the disaster, Bai Cangshu set Parker down.

"Parker!"

The cry contained lingering fear, but it quickly turned into anger.

A woman in a burgundy suit jacket ran out from the crowd. She first glanced fearfully at Bai Cangshu, then yanked her son over.

Before she could say a word of concern, she began scolding him furiously.

"Parker, how many times have I told you? You have to stay with your brother. It’s dangerous for you to wander off alone!"

But her anger quickly faded, leaving only endless fear and panic. Today, it was not just her troublesome younger son. Looking back at her eldest son in the crowd, his face filled with terror, she realized that all three of them had nearly died.

Parker struggled in his mother’s arms, never dropping the Hulk doll in his hand. He was still smiling, vigorously waving the doll at Bai Cangshu.

"Mom, Mom, we don’t need to be afraid!"

"Didn’t you tell us? Those heroes will protect us!"

"Mom, this new superhero is amazing! With one bang, he sent those huge billboards flying, and then whoosh, he threw those people away too…"

Parker wanted his mother to understand just how amazing this superhero was, but all the woman could think was that when he had grabbed her son by the neck earlier, he had not looked like a hero at all.

Besides, she had never seen this Asian hero on the news.

The woman’s distrust was obvious without any need for mind-reading. Bai Cangshu continued smiling. He found the title Villain Savior rather peculiar. Clearly, it could grant basic reputation bonuses in both the good and evil factions;

yet these civilians seemed unaffected by it.

And given his quite high level of charm, even without using an active ability like Heart of Slaanesh, he should have received a considerable boost with ordinary women.

Yet she was so wary of him… Was it because of the look he had given the young man just now?

Bai Cangshu had indeed been observing young Parker as though he were some fascinating creature.

In Bai Cangshu’s eyes, young Parker was far more interesting than any of the humans here.

As he watched Jin use his aerial advantage to gradually shake off Artoria’s pursuit, he saw, on the other side behind them, the seriously injured blue-haired woman and Yun Wujiu, who had frozen himself completely into an ice crystal and lost all mobility, being dug out of the underground ruins by War Machine.

Neither of them was dead, but Artoria had left them grievously wounded.

Black Saber at full power possessed equally terrifying destructive force, enough to destroy a city. At the same time, she had exceptionally strong resistance against all kinds of magical abilities, giving Saber an excellent matchup against certain Far East Magic Society members who were not adept at close combat.

That was why Bai Cangshu believed that underground, Artoria, working with the Avengers, could easily defeat those three.

He had deliberately let Jin go. In truth, although he was not in peak condition, it would not have been difficult for him to use Mantra’s perception in advance, ambush Jin along his escape route, and strike.

Jin, floating high in the air, also bore quite a few wounds. The sun had not yet risen very high, but his Magic Power: Sun was continuously growing stronger.

Jin raised one hand high, and a blazing fireball rapidly spun into existence. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to several hundred meters across. To Jin, the crowd on the ground was as tiny as ants.

He greatly enjoyed this exhilarating feeling of wanton slaughter.

The power gained through the growth of his magic power, along with the pride bred from being looked up to by the weak, intertwined and triggered a chain reaction within Jin.

His body began to grow abnormally, and his golden hair spilled loose around him.

An increasingly powerful sense of presence clearly emerged from the sky.

With Tree Herder controlling the building, Wanda finally had room to act. Her hands moved, her gaze incomparably serious, as scarlet Chaos Magic surged directly into the sky.

Unlike the other Far East Magic Society members, all of whom were wary of Wanda, Jin had originally advocated killing Wanda first, then forcibly killing Vision to seize the Mind Stone.

However, Solomon and the others had rejected the proposal.

Jin did not know why Mercenary Tao had not acted, but without Mercenary Tao, what did he have to fear from this group of Avengers?!

The sun-like fireball spun without pause, growing hotter and hotter. The crowd below had already begun to flee in panic.

With a push of Jin’s hand, the fireball spun as it descended. Iron Man’s AI assistant FRIDAY calculated that if it struck the ground, it would cause catastrophic destruction across several hundred meters.

Simply put, one fireball would wipe out a small city block.

"Hey, guys, we can’t let that thing fall~"

Wanda naturally heard that as well. She immediately lowered her body as though bearing horrifying pressure, and Chaos Magic instantly coiled around the fireball. She intended to push the spell back into the sky through her own strength alone.

Iron Man immediately took flight, dozens of small tracking missiles flying toward Jin along different trajectories.

Jin merely raised his other hand. Countless sparks spread outward, filling the entire sky.

Boom! Boom!

The missiles exploded one after another, yet Jin remained completely unharmed.

Ring!

The cry of a sword rang out. A scarlet blade light swept across the heavens as Artoria sprinted along the side of a building, leaped high into the air, and slashed with her sword.

The fireball exploded in midair, while Jin used the opportunity to fly even higher.

A smile rested on his face. Just as he had expected, Vision was not dead. Without sufficient emotional stimulation, Wanda simply could not unleash Chaos Magic’s true power. Right now, she was nowhere near that strong!

If Solomon had listened to him back then, perhaps he might have had a chance to obtain Wanda’s drops!

As he thought, Jin felt the temperature behind him growing hotter and hotter. It was as though he were already approaching the sun.

A white feather drifted down. He sensed something, and the next moment, he turned around. Higher in the sky, silver-haired Solomon slowly descended from the air.

White feathers continued to fall, and Jin swiftly felt his magic power fading. It was a special domain.

A special reality belonging to Solomon alone—the path formed by combining an Lv5 Supernatural Ability User with a magician: King’s Reality.

"Observing yourself as King Solomon, who knows all magic, then denying the possibility of others using magic…"

"That really is despicable, Solomon…"

Jin began falling from the sky. Even his flight magic started failing, but Jin did not give up resisting.

He began chanting incessantly. Intense magic power echoed through the air, and Wanda below suddenly sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar power emerging.

"Darker than darkness, deeper than night, drifting upon the Sea of Chaos, golden Lord of Nightmares, I beseech you here, I swear to you here: upon all foolish things that stand before me, gather your power and mine, and grant them equal destruction."

Solomon’s eyes shifted slightly. It was a spell that could be cast within King’s Reality, yet even a reincarnator like Jin, whose spellcasting specialization had reached level 9, still needed to chant for so long to cast it.

This was Lina Inverse’s world-ending spell, Ragna Blade?!

Solomon did not hesitate any longer. He raised one hand, and the next moment, all of New York lit up with dazzling white radiance, as though an enormous holy domain had descended.

Jin felt his connection to the sun severed in an instant. Panic began rising in his heart, but he still consoled himself.

It’s fine. Ragna Blade summons the consciousness of the Lord of Nightmares. It doesn’t matter even without the traits of that half-baked Magic Power: Sun. I only need to…

Using the immense barrier he had fully arranged, Solomon completely manifested Saint George Domain above New York. At this moment, he had become the true king ruling this place.

He merely snapped his fingers.

A golden spear of light instantly pierced through Jin’s position.

Pfft!

The defensive magic surrounding Jin’s body shattered in an instant.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Golden spears of light appeared one after another. After Saint George Domain fully unfolded, the Dragonfall Spear formula had become an instant attack that could erupt anytime, anywhere.

But it was not over yet. Solomon glanced at Stark Tower, which was about to explode. The other four members of the Black Order would appear there and attempt to kill Vision to seize the Mind Stone.

An illusory staircase appeared behind him. Jin, repeatedly pierced by the spears of light, was swiftly drawn toward it. Before long, Solomon sighed.

He looked up at the sun above him. His body rapidly expanded, and his magic power began to swell.

Having obtained the final piece he needed, Solomon pointed one hand at the sun while gripping a white feather in the other.

Use item: Angel Feather, to activate spell: Angel Power (Gabriel)?

Warning: Angel Feather (World's Rare Treasure) will disappear after use. This action is irreversible.

"Yes."

Silver-white light began appearing above New York in broad daylight, ancient and mysterious magic circles emerging one after another.

Along with them came an overwhelming holy power.

Solomon’s silver-white hair flew wildly in the wind, and intense emotions surged through his Heterochromatic Eyes for the first time.

This was Angel Power. This was… the power to rule this world!

Below, Bai Cangshu watched the formula cover the entire sky and finally understood why Solomon had dared to set the team to completely unprotected mode even though he knew Bai Cangshu had entered this world as well.

"Tch, a large-scale spell from A Certain Magical Index World, and even Angel Power…"

"Solomon, even with such a trump card, you still don’t dare fight me openly. You still have to use a contract to deceive me… Ha~ How truly… weak."

Even though Solomon had blocked Bai Cangshu’s mind-reading, there were some people whose thoughts Bai Cangshu could guess with a single glance.

It was simply that what Solomon wanted to do happened to be what he wanted as well.

Bai Cangshu glanced at Wanda, who remained on guard and was trying to protect the others, then turned and headed toward Stark Tower. His pace seemed slow but was actually swift, and he soon vanished into the crowd.

Only Tree Herder, who knew part of the plan beforehand, gave him an unreadable glance before continuing to play the role of a hero, using his roots to protect the Avengers and civilians as much as possible.

In the sky, Solomon’s Angel Power unfolded extremely smoothly. By now, enormous energy constructs resembling wings had begun to form behind him.

Majestic magic power swept across all of New York with overwhelming force.

Under such circumstances, Ebony Maw led Corvus Glaive and the others aboard a spacecraft, silently appearing in the air not far from Stark Tower.

This powerful spellcaster merely frowned at the thing in the sky, then waved one hand. An invisible force immediately wrapped around them, smashing through Stark Tower’s outer glass curtain wall and revealing Vision, the Mind Stone embedded in his forehead.

"Kill him."

Ebony Maw spoke simply, and the others attacked in an instant.

But several suits of armor crashed through the glass from the other side and flew over violently, unleashing full firepower and pouring all their ammunition onto them.

Iron Man had apparently prepared for this long ago. Of course, the people he had been guarding against were not the Black Order, whom he did not know about, but Bai Cangshu and the others.

Unexpectedly, this had worked out by pure coincidence, blocking the first wave of attacks aimed at Vision.

Bai Cangshu leaned against the entrance of the building below, watching the battle with a smile.
