King’s Reality

"You know, Tony, Hydra’s personnel are complicated. I can’t be sure of everyone’s information, but what I do know right now is that the one who attacked New York is a powerful mage."

Bai Cangshu leaned back in the restaurant, selling Jin out without the slightest burden.

Tony Stark had rushed to the scene earlier and had not encountered Jin. He had merely analyzed the attacker’s terrifying destructive capabilities through the footage and the devastation at the scene.

He could unleash frighteningly high temperatures and flames.

"I believe looking for him at night is a good idea. That mage has a very interesting trait: the closer it gets to noon, the stronger he becomes. Conversely, his power begins to weaken."

As Rhodey listened to the handsome Asian man’s description, he frowned. There was actually something that bizarre?

But the attack had occurred at around two or three in the afternoon. In other words, that level of power was not his normal state. If they found him at night, it would probably be easier?

Tony Stark was an exceedingly self-important and arrogant man. He disliked ordinary people calling him by his name, yet for some reason, this Asian man before him radiated a unique spiritual charm.

Yes, Tony felt that was the only term that could describe why he instinctively felt friendly toward him.

Bai Cangshu wore the title Villain Savior, enjoying reputation bonuses from both the villain and hero factions on the side of order.

At the same time, if the faction on the side of chaos grew excessively powerful, he would gain attribute bonuses because of Collapse Value.

This Title Ability could be called comprehensive.

Bai Cangshu described Jin’s abilities, while Tree Herder occasionally added a few details.

The condition Mercenary Tao had proposed just now was to use Stark’s technology to find someone for him in Norway.

Even though Odin was already in his twilight years, his reputation remained. Tree Herder and Mercenary Tao did not want to place all their hopes on their own abilities.

If Mantra was nullified or the puppet they controlled was discovered, they might very well fail to find that god king on the verge of decay.

On the contrary, using the power of the Technology Faction to search with something akin to a "census" would be much more convenient.

Of course, Bai Cangshu did not tell Tony that he intended to kill Thor’s father, which allowed Tony Stark to agree without much psychological burden.

For the pragmatic Tony Stark, solving the problem in front of him came first.

Their discussion went rather smoothly. Tony Stark left with the new intelligence, and in return, he handed Bai Cangshu a phone.

Bai Cangshu also promised that if that group’s danger exceeded a certain limit, he would step in to help.

It was hard to say how much trust either had in the other’s words, but at least on the surface, an alliance had been formed.

Bai Cangshu then took Artoria, whose malice had faded after eating her fill, and Tree Herder into the sky once more, flying at high speed directly toward Norway.

From high above the atmosphere, the three left distinct trails behind them as they flew at supersonic speed.

Scotland. Along a magnificent coastline, with lush green grass behind her, Snow Witch extended her hand as a translucent bird landed on it.

It was her familiar, capable of transmitting information.

"News from Yun Wujiu: the first wave of attacks went smoothly and has already drawn attention."

"He said Jin has decided to launch an even larger attack tomorrow at noon. This time, they will draw all the nearby heroes over and cause the deaths of some heroes and a great number of civilians."

As Snow Witch spoke, one of the Twins codenamed Xinfeng was a man with light blue hair, an androgynous face, and blue-and-white robes.

"Then shall we wait another day before acting?"

He held a hand beside his ear, constantly listening to the movements hundreds of kilometers away.

"Wanda and Vision have blocked all communications. They still haven’t realized that New York has been attacked."

Xinfeng’s voice was very soft; if one did not listen carefully, it was easy to overlook. Normally, he and Jifeng acted together. Being forcibly separated this time made him somewhat uneasy.

Solomon sat at the edge of the cliff, his silver-white long hair drifting in the wind, his Heterochromatic Eyes quietly watching Scotland’s beautiful scenery.

This place truly made one feel peaceful, but unfortunately, it was about to end…

"No. We will act tomorrow as well."

Solomon’s plan shattered Snow Witch’s expectations. Clearly, once Jin’s operation succeeded tomorrow, heroes from all over the world would be drawn to New York by the supervillains there.

At that time, their plan to launch a surprise assault on Scotland would be easiest to carry out.

Solomon did not explain, nor would he change his decision.

Snow Witch considered it for a moment and decided to relay the news to Yun Wujiu.

A snow eagle flapped out from her body, but in the next instant, a brilliant beam of light flashed.

Pfft!

The snow eagle melted away in midair. That high-temperature heat ray was like the breath of a dragon king, instantly killing Snow Witch’s familiar.

Snow Witch shuddered and turned around in disbelief.

"President, what are you doing?!"

Xinfeng had already pushed off with one foot, his body gliding hundreds of meters across the grass.

Solomon slowly turned and rose to his feet. His usually thin figure seemed incomparably tall at that moment.

"What am I doing? Don’t you already know?"

"Why keep pretending at a time like this…"

Solomon looked calmly at Snow Witch and Xinfeng.

"You two are gentle by nature. I do not wish to kill you. As long as you wait until tomorrow and begin the operation here as agreed, I can pretend nothing happened."

Faint white feathers began drifting around him, and the air all around filled with intense holy power.

It was the sign that Solomon’s spell had already activated. Snow Witch felt as though she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She closed her eyes in pain.

"Why, President!"

"Why do this? Can’t our Far East Magic Society continue to exist?!"

A special force field spread from Solomon’s body, instantly enveloping an area within a one-kilometer radius.

Xinfeng, who had been sliding toward the outskirts, immediately fell, while the magical radiance around Snow Witch’s body dimmed at once.

Saint George Domain unfolded.

The Level 5 esper ability whose true nature remained unknown unfolded.

The two incompatible power systems of A Certain Magical Index World were reconciled through the power of space.

A unique power belonging solely to Solomon was born.

His own true King’s Reality.

King Solomon commanded the power of all magic. Thus, within this domain, every other form of magic and spell would be delayed.

Only his own abilities received a priority bonus.

"Do you still not understand, Snow Witch? I thought that from the first moment you saw this ability, you would realize my true identity…"

What kind of president would deliberately create a domain that prohibited all other magic, especially the president of a magic-oriented gathering?

"Those so-called reincarnators are precisely such creations."

"And I, Solomon, naturally seek to devour every one of your paths of magic, encompass them all, and transcend the limits of magic…"

"And that is the King of Magic!"
