From American comics to becoming the mastermind behind the scenes

"She succeeded?"

After Shealy disappeared, Nick Fury felt the constraints on him finally lifted.

"Not yet," Constantine said calmly. "She has completed all the necessary conditions and is just one last step away."

"Why didn't you stop her!" Nick Fury said to Constantine in a deep voice.

Constantine shrugged. "And then end up like you? I'm an exorcist, and she's become a demigod, someone neither of us can contend with. Isn't that normal?"

Damn it, what he said makes so much sense, I'm speechless!

"It seems we can't stop her," Nick Fury murmured, but ultimately he didn't know what Xie Yali's ascension to immortality would bring. "If Xie Yali successfully ascends to immortality, what will happen?"

"The upper limit of the world is currently locked," Ayou said. "Since the separation of heaven and earth, humans and gods have been separated. Humans live in the mortal realm, while extraordinary beings are almost all in blessed lands. The isolation of the world has become extremely fragile. Xie Yali's ascension to immortality in the mortal realm will completely break this barrier. When she appears in the mortal realm, she will no longer be just a simple creature like these."

"This is supposed to be a basic product?" Nick Fury stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Constantine smiled and said, "Have you ever seen a four- or five-year-old baby who can carry a 100,000-pound stone with incredible speed? Maybe you'll see him as an adult someday."

"100,000 jin (50,000 kg), four or five years old?" Nick Fury recalled Captain Marvel's performance and felt that Captain Marvel's performance was nothing special, especially considering she was only four or five years old. What about when she's an adult? Will she treat the Earth like a marble?

Sweat rolled down Nick Fury's forehead: "We have to stop her! But how?"

Ah-you made a hand seal: "Tomorrow at noon is the best time for Xie Yali to complete her destiny and ascend to heaven. If we want to stop her, we can only do so on that day."

Nick Fury had faced Shealy directly and knew how terrifying she was; a single glance or a single word from her could make him kneel on the ground, unable to get up.

Nick Fury also fought against the X-Men. The abilities that Shayrie used were definitely not telekinesis or mind control. Some of them were inexplicable, as if Shayrie had temporarily taken over his brain and controlled his body.

Think about it carefully. If Shaya had told him to commit suicide, wouldn't he have already died in the line of duty? Does S.H.I.E.L.D. currently have anyone capable of dealing with Shaya? Probably not.

Nick Fury suddenly remembered the space carrier that was almost finished. If all else fails, he could just drop a Tomahawk missile on it.

But recalling how easily Xie Yali melted the bullets before, will the missiles be effective?

Let's go back to S.H.I.E.L.D. first. I need to ask Yan Shuangying when the reinforcements will arrive.

At S.H.I.E.L.D., Yan Shuangying had regained his mobility and listened to everyone's stories with an increasingly solemn expression.

"Don't worry, the people we sent this time are all experts in feng shui and divination," Yan Shuangying reassured him.

Ah You's expression was solemn as he said, "It is indeed possible to use Feng Shui and Bagua to disrupt her Five Elements destiny, thus preventing her from successfully ascending to immortality, but the difficulty is too great."

Yan Shuangying sighed, "We have to try anyway. If we don't try, we won't even have the last chance."

Constantine chuckled, "To be honest, America truly is a promised land. Look, even the immortals of the East chose America to ascend to heaven. You must be very proud, Director Nick Fury?"

Nick Fury glared at Constantine and yelled, "Get lost."

Upon closer examination, it became clear that most of the recent events in Hell's Kitchen were related to Xie Yali. If Xie Yali weren't in America, so much trouble wouldn't have arisen. But since things had come to this, Nick Fury could only ask Yan Shuangying, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"

Yan Shuangying glanced at his watch and smiled, "We've arrived."

Ding dong.

Natasha pushed open the door and entered: "S.H.I.E.L.D. reinforcements have arrived."

Behind Natasha were two handsome young men with regular features, one of whom was Xiao Zizai, who was quite familiar with Nick Fury.

One person was dressed in trendy clothes, with a small braid, and squinted eyes, looking somewhat unfathomable; the other person was wearing a loose, ordinary Taoist robe, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, yawning, and looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

"Wu Dang Wang Ye greets all seniors," the young man in the Taoist robe said, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Hello, Zhuge Liang's family, Zhuge Qing."

Xiao Zizai frowned as he looked at everyone in the room, including Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing, then raised his hand as if in agreement, saying, "Hi."

"So young," was Nick Fury's first impression when he saw the two of them walk in. To deal with such a formidable opponent as Shealy, the S.H.I.E.L.D. sent only two young men as backup?

His age combined probably doesn't even equal his shoe size.

Yan Shuangying smiled and said, "Don't be so reserved. This is Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

The two sides met amicably, but Nick Fury couldn't help but worry, "Can they handle Shealy?"

Wang Ye scratched his head and laughed, "To be honest, I've never fought against a half-immortal, but stopping her from ascending to immortality shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Fury thought to himself: Are they that confident? But he didn't show it; he would have to rely on them for the rest.

In addition to S.H.I.E.L.D. support, Nick Fury also gathered the Defenders and agents who were not on missions.

If the plan fails, Nick Fury will drop 10 Tomahawk cruise missiles directly at the place where Shayrie ascended to heaven, but he did not tell anyone about this plan.

Hopefully things won't get worse.

Nick Fury thought to himself, then said, "Now everyone's here, but how are we going to find Shealy?"

Ah You said, "Those who ascend to immortality will inevitably choose famous mountains and great rivers, or places closest to heaven."

Nick Frith thought to himself, "Since she's still in New York, she'll probably choose to be on the rooftop of some building."

Ayou agreed, "That's right, which is the tallest building in the city?"

Nick Frith pondered for a moment and said, "It's the Osborn Industrial Building."

At this time, Stark Industries had not yet been destroyed in the battle between Tony Stark and the Iron Monger, and the Stark Tower, New York's future tallest building, had not yet been constructed.

"But can we really beat her?"

"We don't need to defeat her," Constantine said. "We just need to stall for time until 12:15."

Ayou said with a smile, "With two experts in Bagua, Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing, here, we have a great advantage."

Wang Ye chuckled and scratched his head, "Uncle-Master Ayou, please stop teasing us."

Zhuge Qing smiled and said, "Uncle-Master Ayou, an elder told me to greet him on your behalf when I see him."

Ayou glared at Constantine, but Constantine turned his back and pretended not to see it.

Ayou gave a wry smile and said, "I am no longer a disciple of Maoshan. You don't need to call me 'Uncle-Master,' just call me Ayou. Let's get going as soon as possible."
