Preparations, Enchantress

"I have an army of Chitauri."

Ebony Maw glanced at Algrim and said calmly, "In addition, I’ve recruited the Frost Giants and Fire Giants. They’ll send troops with us to attack Asgard."

Malekith and Algrim were both delighted upon hearing this. Malekith immediately said, "Excellent, my friend. We’ll work together and destroy Asgard."

Ebony Maw reminded him, "And Earth. That is my primary target."

"Earthlings are merely a bunch of natives. They’re not worth mentioning."

Malekith held Earth in great contempt. He asked, "Ebony Maw, tell me about Asgard’s current situation."

"Alright."

Ebony Maw did not offer any further warning and briefly explained Asgard’s situation.

"Asgard has heavily armed defenses?"

Malekith frowned. "That isn’t good news. Asgard’s Defense Shield is extremely powerful, and with all those troops, even if we join forces, we won’t be able to take it."

"Don’t worry."

Ebony Maw smiled. "I have an informant in Asgard. He—uh, she—will help us destroy the Defense Shield."

Malekith asked, "Is your informant reliable?"

Ebony Maw said with complete confidence, "Very reliable. By the way, she lacks weapons, so I’d like to borrow a few things from you."

"The Celestial Convergence is about to begin."

In a desolate pocket dimension of Kamar-Taj, Ancient One sensed something and spoke slowly.

"We’ve waited a long time for this."

Wang Bert’s projection, standing beside Ancient One, smiled. "We’ve made extensive preparations for it."

Within this pocket dimension, Kamar-Taj had not only set up numerous Magic Arrays, but also built a long magical wall covered with magical weapons and high-tech energy weapons. They were fully armed.

With his supreme magical power, Ancient One had concentrated all of Earth’s weak points within this pocket dimension. If Hell’s demons wanted to enter Earth, they had to break through here.

In other words, this was the decisive battlefield between Kamar-Taj and Hell.

"We certainly have waited a long time."

Iron Mask Doom walked over and said, "I’ll treat this battle as my graduation exam."

Wang Bert turned and asked, "Have you decided where you’ll go after graduation?"

Doom’s eyes turned dangerous. "First, I’ll settle accounts with Reed. Then I’ll return home."

Wang Bert could not help saying, "Actually, if you went to see Susan sooner, there might still have been a chance to save things."

"Susan never truly loved me."

Doom shook his head and said coldly, "More importantly, a strong man’s life has no need for women."

Wang Bert mocked, "Are you sure that isn’t the howl of a loser?"

Doom glared at Wang Bert. If they were not on such good terms, he would have blasted him with electricity long ago.

Why did he have to speak such painful truths?

Wang Bert shrugged. "Forget I said anything. When the Hell Lords arrive, put on a good display of your explosive magic."

Doom said proudly, "Do you even need to tell me that? I’ll let them know that besides you and Master, Earth has another guardian—Explosion Doctor Doom."

Kaecilius snorted inwardly from the side, but he did not dare come over. The reason was simple: Doom had beaten him up some time ago.

That was right, Kaecilius was no longer Doom’s match. It had utterly shattered his mentality.

Comparisons really could make a person furious.

"I only wanted to heal my hands. Why did I have to come to such a dangerous place?"

Strange stared at the barren ground, looking somewhat dazed. In this battle, every full-fledged mage in Kamar-Taj had to take the field. Under Doom’s strict instruction, Strange had become a full-fledged mage a year ago.

"With great power comes great responsibility."

Wang Bert’s voice reached Strange’s ears. Strange smiled bitterly. What power did he have? Doom beat him up every time!

Strange did not know that he was actually quite famous in Kamar-Taj. On one hand, his cultivation speed was incredibly fast, second only to Doom. On the other hand, he was the only mage who dared fight the great demon king Doom every day.

"Once Doom leaves the mountain, it’ll be Dr. Strange’s era."

Wang Bert shook his head. He looked at Dracula, who was crouching in a corner searching for something, and shouted irritably, "Dracula, what are you looking for? Get over here and prepare for battle!"

"I’m looking for a suitable spot to dig a hole."

Without turning around, Dracula said, "I’m planning to bury myself."

Everyone was speechless. Wang Bert asked, "Did you find peace after burying yourself last time?"

"No. Ancient One dug me out the next day and kept using me as cannon fodder."

Dracula was utterly dejected. He turned around and shouted at Wang Bert resentfully, "Blood God, I’m your father-in-law! How can you screw me over like this? I finally escaped being cannon fodder, and now you dragged me here to be cannon fodder again."

"This was Lilith’s idea. She said you should earn some merit, so you won’t get killed someday after mouthing off to the wrong person."

Wang Bert said, "And by the way, I’m one of the people who wants to kill you."

"Me too."

Doom said coldly. Ancient One merely smiled without saying anything. Dracula shuddered from head to toe and hurriedly ran to Ancient One’s side, saying ingratiatingly, "Sorcerer Supreme, in order to protect the human world, I, Dracula, volunteered to serve as cannon fodder. Please use me however you like. No need to hold back."

Everyone was speechless again. This Dracula truly had no shame at all.

Ancient One smiled. "Don’t worry. I won’t hold back."

Dracula looked like he was about to cry. I was only being polite. Why did you take it seriously?

At the same time, in Hell, Lucifer gazed at the dense army of monsters below, his heart surging with excitement. This time, they would definitely fulfill their dream and enter Earth.

"I can finally destroy humanity."

Lucifer clenched his fist tightly. He had waited far, far too long for this day.

At S.W.O.R.D. headquarters, Steve used Kree technology to bring Wang Bert, Tony, Ivan, and other important figures onto the same channel. Then he said, "Jane and Dr. Selvig have calculated that the Celestial Convergence will erupt tomorrow at noon. Its core eruption point will be Greenwich."

"Forcibly evacuate Greenwich and the surrounding districts."

Wang Bert, who was in Asgard, ordered, "The Dark Elves have obtained half of the Aether. They will definitely go to Greenwich."

"The evacuation is already underway. In addition, the Madman and I will lead the Space Fleet to garrison Greenwich."

Tony said, "Steve, those monsters that teleport in at random will be S.W.O.R.D.’s problem."

"Leave them to us."

Steve nodded and asked, "Bert, will Kamar-Taj be alright?"

"The Sorcerer Supreme has never let anyone down. You have absolutely nothing to worry about."

Wang Bert said confidently, "If nothing unexpected happens, the battle on Asgard’s side will begin first. Tony, Steve, each of you bring a few people over to see the Dark Elves."

"Alright."

Tony and Steve nodded at the same time. As long as Super Heroes like them were around, no one could destroy Earth.

At night, Asgard prison.

Loki, Asgard’s third princess, was lying on an extravagant golden fleece carpet when she suddenly sensed something. A wicked smile immediately appeared on her face. It was finally beginning.

Loki got up and walked to the Mirror, intending to dress herself up. Then she came to her senses and smashed the Mirror in fury. Dress up my ass. I’m not a woman.

Loki took a deep breath and quietly left her cell using the power Ebony Maw had given her. No one noticed, because she was invisible.

Loki did not immediately escape from the prison. She walked to its deepest section and looked at Lorelei, the enchanting beauty and super-criminal locked inside.

Lorelei, the Enchantress, could make men with weak wills submit to her through beauty alone. Once she opened her mouth, even male agents with strong wills would become her devoted servants.

Lorelei had two main hobbies. One was pleasure, and the other was making men fight and kill for her. The former was harmless enough, but the latter was terrifying. Entire kingdoms had even fallen because of it, which was why Odin had captured her and imprisoned her here.

"How pitiful, Lorelei. Even your mouth has been sealed."

Loki entered the cell and said mockingly. The peerless beauty Lorelei was first enraged, then stared at Loki in shock. How had this guy turned into a woman? Loki was somewhat embarrassed and angry. She asked, "Do you want to join me in taking revenge on Asgard, Thor, and Odin?"

Lorelei hesitated. Loki smiled. "Lorelei, this opportunity won’t come twice. Are you going to be imprisoned here forever, unable to speak for the rest of your life? Your power combined with mine will be invincible."

Lorelei gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement. Loki smiled in satisfaction and reached out to remove Lorelei’s sealing muzzle.

Looking at the incomparably beautiful face before her, Loki suddenly felt a little jealous. She was truly beautiful, and her figure was incredible too. Heaven was so unfair. Why was she so flat?

I’m not a woman!

Loki was starting to lose it. She realized she was becoming more and more like a woman. She had to turn back as soon as possible, or sooner or later, she would become a real woman.

"I can finally speak."

Lorelei looked thrilled. She looked at Loki and smiled. "This seems to be the first time you’ve come so close to me. Your willpower is much stronger than Thor’s."

"He’s just stupid."

Loki said, "No time to waste. Start acting immediately. I’ll amplify your power. Enchantress, Asgard will soon kneel before you."

"Loki, you really know how to talk."

Lorelei could not help laughing. Loki smiled faintly and cast a spell on Lorelei.

Lorelei nodded at Loki, then eagerly stepped out of the cell that had held her for decades.

Watching Lorelei’s retreating back, Loki gave a cold smile and abruptly vanished.

"Lorelei, how dare you escape from prison?"

When the guards saw Lorelei leave her cell, they were shocked and immediately surrounded her with weapons in hand.

"Could you bear to hurt me?"

Lorelei asked with a charming smile. The guards’ eyes immediately turned vacant. A moment later, they all said, "We couldn’t."

Lorelei asked, "Then if someone wanted to hurt me, would you protect me?"

The guards all replied, "Of course. You are our goddess."

Lorelei smiled smugly. "Very good. Open all the cells. We’re going to strike back against Asgard."

"Yes, our goddess."

Without another word, the guards immediately opened the energy doors to the cells. Prisoners emerged one after another and gathered around Lorelei.

"Asgard has imprisoned us for so long. We must make it pay the price."

Lorelei shouted loudly, and the prisoners raised their fists and roared, "Make Asgard pay the price!"

"Move out."

Lorelei nodded in satisfaction and led the prisoners and guards out of the prison. A riot had officially begun.

"What? A prison riot?"

Odin and Wang Bert soon received the news. Wang Bert was stunned and shouted into the void, "Heimdall, didn’t you say you could see everything?"

"It isn’t the Dark Elves. Loki and Lorelei started this rebellion."

Heimdall said, "All-Father, be careful. A large number of guards have defected and are attacking the palace."

"Who is Lorelei?"

Wang Bert frowned. Odin’s expression changed as he ran toward the palace entrance and shouted, "She is the Enchantress. She can enchant men."

"The Enchantress? Let’s see just how enchanting she is."

Wang Bert followed with great interest. Soon, the two arrived at the entrance and saw the projection of a peerless beauty filling the sky. She shouted at the guards, "Could you bear to hurt me?"

"We couldn’t! We couldn’t!"

The male guards who had just rushed out immediately defected and joined the rebels in attacking the palace.

"Loki, Lorelei!"

Odin’s expression was extremely grim. One plus one often did not equal two. For example, Lorelei’s enchantment magic and Loki’s illusion magic—when these two worked together, the destruction they caused far exceeded imagination.

"Damn Lorelei."

Sif gritted her teeth and hurriedly led a group of female soldiers to resist the male soldiers’ assault. Seeing Odin emerge, she urgently shouted, "Your Majesty, we can’t let any more male guards come over. That will only increase Lorelei’s forces."

Odin thought of something and hurriedly turned to look at Wang Bert. If this man got enchanted, things would become very entertaining.

Odin had no confidence in Wang Bert whatsoever. After all, everyone knew what kind of person he was.

At that moment, Wang Bert suddenly shouted into the distance, "Beautiful, you should be asking, ‘Do you want to see what I’m wearing under these clothes?’"

"Has he already been controlled?"

Odin became somewhat wary. Wang Bert noticed and said irritably, "It was just a joke. Don’t take it so seriously. I’m not Tony. Uh, wait, Tony didn’t come, did he?"

Wang Bert put on a frightened expression as he asked. Everyone on the channel burst into laughter. Tony’s face darkened as he said, "Am I really that bad?"

"Can’t help it. You’ve been controlled too many times. Alright, enough joking. Asgard may be in danger. Steve, Tony, prepare to provide support."

Wang Bert shook his head and gave the order. Tony and Steve nodded at the same time. Tony said, "The Space Fleet can depart at any time."

Then Wang Bert said to Odin, "Odin, I’ll deal with Lorelei. You stop Loki. If I’m not mistaken, he should have gone to the control room."

"You stop Loki. I don’t trust you to deal with Lorelei."

Odin said, "You are utterly unreliable when it comes to women."

"Odin, I can deal with Lorelei in a few minutes. You would take several hours."

Wang Bert said, "Don’t worry. I wouldn’t joke about something like this."

Odin glanced at Wang Bert and said, "Fine. I’ll stop Loki. Heimdall, and Thor, guard the Bifrost. The Dark Elves may come launch a sneak attack."

Heimdall said expressionlessly, "Understood. Also, Thor has already abandoned his post to look for Loki."
