Marvel Magic Case Files

Chapter 389 The Arrival of the Holy Son (Second Update)

Salomon's psychological issues have always been a major concern for Nick Fury, as Fury is unsure how much he'll need to prepare to control him. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is quite certain that Salomon is merely the tip of the iceberg in the mysterious world, and that level of enemy is beyond S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities.

Last time, Salomon asked S.H.I.E.L.D. to help him find someone. As a result, he first fought a small-scale war with cultists and mercenaries in a godforsaken monastery, then his entire air command center crashed, almost killing many agents. Even after barely landing, he encountered the Demon King of Hell, followed by a bunch of messy monsters and the Gates of Hell.

Nick Fury urgently contacted several people, and after learning certain information, he was so angry he nearly fell off his chair. Tony Stark already knew about it! They had even reached a deal to develop weapons and equipment. As for why Stark was helping Salomon develop new equipment, the billionaire stammered and refused to say, like a mother monkey afraid the leopard under the tree would snatch what was in her arms.

Nick Fury could only see his bright red bottom from under the tree, but he didn't know whether he was holding fruit or a squeaking little monkey!

But the situation was urgent. Nick Fury believed Salomon's state of affairs was extremely problematic because he said, "From a philosophical and dogmatic point of view, I don't believe in lasting peace." This statement terrified Nick Fury, because the person who said it was Benito Mussolini!

Nick Fury is worried that this little brat is being influenced by the trashy militaristic and populist information on the internet!

Generally speaking, these are the kinds of ideologies that the United States promotes in other countries, and Nick Fury had long been prepared for this ideology to backfire on the United States. But he didn't expect that the backlash would actually start from Salomon. After thinking for a long time, he realized that he could only blame the Internet and the CIA.

Of course, he wouldn't say it to Salomon's face on the phone; he had to be more subtle. Once, Nick Fury questioned Salomon's sociological knowledge during a meeting, and the little rascal immediately retorted, "I know everything from astronomy to geography, I'm skilled in both literature and martial arts, I'm an expert in everything. My reputation extends from Ireland to the Khitan, from Athens to Philadelphia, from Rome to Constantinople..."

So this time, Nick Fury cautiously inquired about Salomon's plans after acquiring an army, only to be met with another Chinese phrase: "Submit to the Emperor, plead your case; if you do not attend court, the Six Armies will be moved." By the time Nick Fury understood the meaning, Maria Hill saw his face darken considerably. While Salomon hadn't explicitly stated his plans after the war with Hell ended, this statement was a very serious warning.

A man set off from Brooklyn, riding his motorcycle under the scorching sun, all the way to Salomon's apartment building. "You might need some exercise, how about coming to the boxing gym with me?" Steve Rogers said on the phone with a bright, sunny smile and tone. Looking up at the apartment's white walls and vintage balcony, he knew he probably couldn't afford to live here with his retirement savings.

This is one of Nick Fury's methods. As a man who fought against fascism his entire life, no one was a better candidate to educate him than Steve Rogers.

"Did Nick Fury send you?" Salomon yawned as he came downstairs.

He wasn't wearing the Holy Relic Robe; even his dimensional bag and Luoyang Twin Blades were left in his apartment. He came downstairs in a white shirt and black trousers, a wand tucked into his pocket, the hard heels of his boots clicking on the steps, the wand seemingly on the verge of falling. It was hot, and he started sweating as soon as he stepped out of the apartment. His loosely buttoned white shirt, glistening with sweat, and his long, bouncy black curly hair attracted the attention of many passing women.

He looked like a Greek heartthrob from a marble sculpture, except this statue sweated, which only added to his charm. From a young age, his clothes and hairstyle were all taken care of by Athena. Perhaps the controlling goddess of wisdom had already foreseen this scene when he was a child; Salomon had grown into the man she had imagined.

Some women passing by noticed that his gaze became quite suggestive when he was talking to Steve Rogers.

"Was he scared?" Salomon, unusually relaxed under the summer sun, displayed a youthful nonchalance.

"Frey wants me to tell you about my past. He said you have great respect for the elderly." Steve Rogers also displayed his rare sense of humor. "He didn't say much, he just said you need to understand the cruelty of war and the horrors of conflict... Believe me, among the living now, probably no one understands the cruelty of war better than me."

"Didn't Nick Fury say anything else to you?" Salomon asked.

Steve Rogers shook his head and asked, puzzled, "What should I know?"

"No, it's nothing," Salomon replied with a smile.

Unsurprisingly, Nick Fury didn't dare reveal Salomon's identity as the Holy Son to anyone. The religious and political significance of this identity was far too great. In the eyes of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the secrecy of this identity was even more important than magic itself—just as Salomon had said, if he revealed his identity, he would gain unimaginable support.

This is easy to understand. Jacob, son of Isaac, founded Israel, and the Roman Empire later destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Temple, forcing the Hebrew Jews to leave Israel and scatter throughout the world, especially Europe. It wasn't until the rise of Zionism in modern times and British support during World War I that Jews developed their own armed forces. In 1947, the UN General Assembly voted on the Partition Plan of 1947, and with the support of the United States and the Soviet Union, the UN passed an agreement establishing Israel. Then came a series of wars of independence; five Arab wars to destroy Israel all ended in failure, and only then did modern Israel truly become a nation.

[Aside: Israel was quite pathetic; it was first destroyed by Babylon, then submitted to the Persian Empire, and finally expelled by the Roman Empire.]

but.

Every "but" following a sentence is important.

Extreme Orthodox Judaism, also known as Haredi Judaism, opposes Zionism. The reason is not that they don't want their own country, but rather that these Extreme Orthodox Jews, who have been wandering abroad for 2000 years, believe that the establishment of Israel should be through God's intervention, that is, by the Messiah, rather than the current artificially constructed relationship with the United States, which is like father and son.

If Salomon's identity were exposed, even the Israel lobby, which wields immense political influence in the United States and can get members of Congress to sign off on their paper, would hesitate. In Nick Fury's worst-case scenario, Israel, a deeply religious country, would break free from American "control" and, under the banner of a messianic incarnation, leverage Salomon's formidable military power to become an even more troublesome force in the Middle East than al-Qaeda.

Then the US has no choice but to support it, since the lawmakers have already received money from the corporations. Even the news media will give it rave reviews, because major media outlets in Europe and America have long been controlled by Jews.

Therefore, Nick Fury could not explain this to anyone; he and Agent Maria Hill were the only ones in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. who knew Salomon's true identity.

"So Nick Fury thinks I'm some kind of internet Nazi who doesn't understand the cruelty of war and only knows how to type on a keyboard?" Salomon raised an eyebrow. He hopped on Steve Rogers' motorcycle. "Well, then you should listen to me, Captain America, the righteous one of God. I think you should hear what I have to say."
