Marvel Magic Case Files

Chapter 431 Sinking (Second Update)

The sorority's longswords and bolt-action lances posed no threat to everyone, so Athena drove up to the apartment building. Ignoring the homunculus' attempts to stop her, and the homunculus not daring to lay a hand on Salomon's foster mother, she was allowed to walk straight into the bedroom.

"It's nothing too serious, just excessive mental exertion," Athena concluded after a cursory examination. This conclusion relieved Diana, who had been waiting patiently. Although she hadn't found any external injuries while wiping Salomon's body with a damp towel, the congealed blood clots she had cleared from his nasal cavity worried her greatly. The goddess of wisdom stood up and asked Diana and Maya Hansen, who were standing beside her, "What on earth did he do to cause such mental exhaustion?"

"We don't know Master's secrets," Diana told a small lie. The goddess of wisdom stared intently into her eyes, and the maid lowered her head uneasily, no longer looking at her master's foster mother. Then she straightened up, biting her lip to meet Athena's gaze. In truth, Diana already knew what the silver key around Salomon's neck was, but she had no intention of telling anyone.

Athena then looked at Maya Hansen, who, under the imposing presence of the goddess of war, stammered out a rough account of what had happened. The goddess of wisdom listened with a frown to the entire account. "What instructions did the Sorcerer Supreme give?" Athena asked. Since it concerned magic, even she couldn't easily question anything. If Salomon had cast that spell with the Sorcerer Supreme's permission, then Salomon's current situation was within the Sorcerer Supreme's expectations; in that case, there was no need to worry about Salomon's condition.

"His Holiness instructed his master to rest and recuperate," Diana interjected before Maya Hansen could speak, and Maya Hansen obediently shut her mouth. The sorcerer called Wang didn't stop there; he also launched into a long tirade of complaints about failing at crucial moments, while simultaneously eliminating the soon-to-expire beef in the refrigerator.

However, Dinah felt there was no need for Athena to know about this. Athena's gaze lingered between them, and finally she nodded in agreement—the goddess of wisdom sensed that Dinah had something to say, but she didn't want to pursue the matter further. After all, Salomon's health was indeed not a major problem, and the homunculus would prioritize this matter; she could confidently entrust the care of Salomon to them.

At least they could stop the fat cat from sleeping on Salomon's chest, or prevent Salomon from having his airway blocked by the cat's fur.

"You must take good care of him." The Goddess of Wisdom picked up her handbag and prepared to leave. She ruffled the head of the gray shorthaired cat, then surveyed the armed forces the androids had prepared on this floor. Finding nothing to criticize, she said to Diana, "Go buy some glucose for an IV drip. He hasn't eaten all day."

"I will, thank you for your help..."

Many people came to see Salomon, as if everything had piled up at once since he fell asleep. Aside from the witch in the Dragon Triangle in Japan, who couldn't return in time, even Tony Stark tried to visit Salomon—based on information Salomon had revealed, Dinah believed S.H.I.E.L.D. was still monitoring her master's every move. Salomon's untimely leave put S.H.I.E.L.D. on edge, suspecting he was up to something big, so Tony Stark was likely sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. to gather intelligence.

Dinah refused Tony Stark's request to see Salomon, as she did not want her master to be disturbed by irrelevant people.

As for Salomon? He knew he was immersed in a dream, and he desperately wanted to wake up. But after this shock, the effects of Merlin's spell on him had weakened. Faced with an overwhelming feast of knowledge, even maddening, he was forced to dive into the sea of ​​consciousness. Salomon looked at the sea in his dream, covered by a thick white ice sheet, beneath which lay a deep black ocean of consciousness, with a constantly decomposing and recombining sacred double helix structure floating at its deepest depths.

Unlike the fleeting glimpse of knowledge gained from exposure, in the pitch-black depths of the ocean, only the ever-shining double helix serves as the sole source of light. It reveals to Salomon all the mathematical mysteries and beauty of the double helix structure; all formulas and laws are constantly being decomposed and recombined, each base pair possessing a complex design purpose. Whether whimsical or meticulously calculated, no mutation or evolution in life is superfluous.

Salomon was forced to carefully study the knowledge that the One of All Things had given him.

Like a background service consuming massive amounts of computing resources, this program constantly bombards users with its content in pop-up windows. The One Who Unifies All things not only doesn't bother with packaging and compressing the files, but the knowledge it sends is also a malicious program that consumes a huge amount of brainpower. This is why many wizards who seek knowledge from Yog-Sothoth ultimately go mad; most people's brains cannot process such knowledge, or even understand those pop-up windows, and the final result is that their brains are burned out by the One Who Unifies All things' malicious program.

Although Salomon's extraordinary intellect was not among them, he still felt an involuntary sense of fatigue. He felt that he could only truly wake up after he had thoroughly studied these ridiculously complex arcane arts and mathematics and found a way to shut down this malicious program.

This is a battle unrelated to fists and feet. He must use all his intelligence to decipher the mysteries revealed by the double helix structure. He must understand the terrors that the goddess of dark abundance has revealed to him—terrors that should have been unknown and formless in life.

Salomon was absolutely certain that humans were designed beings, just as he himself had been designed. The Celestials had bestowed upon humanity the gift of genes, and those codes were hidden within the current genetic code of humankind. Find those codes, find those gateways to knowledge, analyze your own genes, learn all the spells related to repair, restoration, and the creation of life. Break it, decompose it, suck it, chew it, swallow it—that enormous, ever-churning, decaying cloud of mist! Those horrifying body parts coalescing from the black mist, the slimy black tentacles, and the mouths dripping with viscous fluid!

Agamotto's amulet shimmered with an almost invisible light. His near-madness was shattered, and Salomon fell into a deep sleep on the sea of ​​consciousness. He curled up, sinking ever deeper into the ocean of light points of the collective unconscious. The tentacles of those consciousness-formed points gently touched his skin, soothing Salomon as he drifted into a second slumber.

Diana frowned and looked at the bed. After finding nothing amiss, she turned back to continue assembling the IV stand she had bought.

Salomon's thoughts were inaccessible to the outside world, and his senses were shut down. Neither shouting in his ear nor telepathy could reach his sinking consciousness, and even the Cheshire Cat purring on his chest couldn't bring him back to his senses.

kingdom.

Foundation, grandeur, victory.

Beautiful, majestic, and kind.

Between understanding and wisdom lies an abyss called knowledge, the boundary between angels and gods, the dividing line between the realm of creation and the realm of archetypes. Cross it, cross Da'at, cross Da'at Elyon ("higher levels of knowledge"), cross the abyss, and arrive at the world where God resides.
