He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 109 The Capitol Building Flooded (Fifth Update)

"Save me! Who sent you to save me?"

Grindelwald looked Li Chuan up and down. At this moment, Li Chuan had transformed into a very handsome young Englishman.

"Nobody's here. I just dislike the secrecy law and think you shouldn't be locked up here!"

Li Chuan reached out and picked up an Auror's hat, then slowly brought it towards Grindelwald.

"Sizzle!"

A ring of runes lit up around Grindelwald on the ground, and a hemispherical red protective shield appeared instantly, burning half of his hat into thin air.

Clearly, to prevent Grindelwald from escaping, the wizards of the Magic Council had also set up very powerful protective runes around him.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Looking at the flashing runes on the ground, Li Chuan paused slightly. With his level of magic, he couldn't break through such profound runes for the time being.

"We'll have to resort to the brute force method."

He quickly formed hand seals and then swiftly pressed them onto the ground.

"Earth Release: Mud Mage!"

He's not very good at cracking runes, but he can directly destroy the entire ground, indirectly causing the runes to become ineffective.

Under the influence of the D-rank Earth Release ninjutsu, the entire cell floor turned into a muddy mess, and the runes disappeared due to the change in the ground.

"Spellcasting with hand gestures, and the speed is actually this fast."

Grindelwald watched with interest as Li Chuan cast a spell similar to a transfiguration charm using hand gestures.

Not all wizards in the world use wands to cast spells. Wizards in Africa, for example, cast spells without wands or making a sound, using hand gestures instead.

However, the speed and power of hand gestures are far inferior to those of wand spells.

Therefore, apart from Africa, other places still use more efficient wands for spellcasting.

The wizard named Li Chuan just now didn't use a wand, but cast a spell through strange hand gestures, and the casting speed was even faster than that of a normal wizard using a wand.

"I was planning to stay a few more days, but since someone came to rescue me, I'll leave early!"

Seeing that Li Chuan had dealt with the Aurors outside and removed the protective runes, Grindelwald stood up, and blue flames suddenly ignited on his wrists and ankles, instantly burning the specially made magical handcuffs and shackles to ashes.

As expected, he didn't use his full strength that day.

Seeing Grindelwald cast Fiendfyre silently and without a staff, Li Chuan's pupils also contracted.

That day, he felt that Grindelwald hadn't used his full strength and had deliberately let them take him down, because he hadn't used many powerful spells or area-of-effect spells.

"It seems that even if I hadn't come, Mr. Grindelwald would have left on his own. I had gone to all this trouble."

"No, I want to leave here, but it's actually a bit troublesome, so I still want to thank you. Would you be interested in joining me and standing in the light with me?"

Grindelwald shook his head, then extended an invitation to Li Chuan.

As expected of you!

Li Chuan hesitated for a moment before not immediately agreeing, then smiled and said:

"Let's get out of here first. I think the outside world will soon find out that something's wrong here."

With his talent, charisma, and thirst for talent, it's no wonder Grindelwald almost turned the entire wizarding world upside down.

Looking at the Magical Congress of America, because Tina used magic in front of Muggles, they transferred this rare expert to an administrative position.

"That makes sense. We should find a nice place to sit down and have a proper talk."

Grindelwald stretched out his hand, and an Auror's wand fell into his grasp.

"Alarm! Alarm! Grindelwald has escaped! Grindelwald has escaped!"

Just as Li Chuan kicked open Grindelwald's cell door, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the U.S. Capitol.

Inside the chairman's office, he was discussing with several senators whether to agree to allow the representatives of the International Federation of Wizards to take away Serafina Pikeli, whom Grindelwald had proposed.

Upon hearing the alarm for Grindelwald's escape, he angrily swore on the spot.

Yesterday's events were absurd enough, but I never expected it to happen again today. If Grindelwald succeeds in escaping, the Magical Congress of the United States will be unable to hold their heads high in the International Confederation of Wizards for a long time.

And her time as chairperson has come to an end.

"Quickly, all Aurors, all wizards of the Congress, as long as they are alive, gather them at the entrance of the fiftieth level of the underground prison. We cannot allow Grindelwald to escape!"

Piqueri's voice, amplified dozens of times by the amplification spell, resounded throughout the entire Magic Congress building.

So when Li Chuan and Grindelwald walked out of the prison, they were met by Piccolo and more than two hundred Congressional wizards with wands behind her.

Li Chuan also spotted Tina, the newly appointed director of the Auror office, among them.

"Mr. Grindelwald, put down your wand immediately and return to your cell with your companions, or we will kill you on sight!"

Knowing Grindelwald's power, Piqueli made an exception and issued an order that all members of Congress who knew the Death Curse could use it to attack Grindelwald, and those who didn't should use their strongest dark magic.

She will bear all the consequences.

This is the Magical Congress building, where Apparition is impossible. There are hundreds of Killing Curses here, which even Grindelwald would absolutely not be able to withstand.

However, while Piqueli was focused on Grindelwald, Li Chuan suddenly jumped into the air and quickly completed all the hand seals required for an A-rank ninjutsu.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

A massive torrent of water gushed from his mouth, flowing like a waterfall down the walkway and rushing toward Piqueli and all the wizards gathered behind him.

The Great Waterfall Technique may not be powerful in terms of attack, but its attack range is among the best of all ninjutsu.

Faced with the sudden downpour of water, the wizards of the Magic Congress displayed their varying magical abilities.

Many of the civilian wizards who were brought in to make up the numbers, who were too lazy to fight, were swept away by the current before they could even react, screaming all the while.

Those wizards who were slightly better off also released magical defenses in time, but unfortunately, they probably didn't practice the Ironclad Charm often, and the weak water flow broke through their protective shields at the first touch, so they followed in the footsteps of the first batch.

Only top-tier Aurors like Tina, high-ranking members like Picqueri who once possessed considerable magical abilities, and a few other staff members who disliked combat but were not weak in strength, were able to unleash a powerful enough Ironclad Charm to block the impact of the water flow.

Goodbye everyone!

After unleashing the Great Falls technique, Li Chuan pulled out a magic flying carpet from his small bag—a carpet he had bought in advance on Magic Street in America—waved to Piqueli, and then flew with Grindelwald to the hall above.

By the time Piqueli and the others recovered from the impact of the waterfall and rushed toward the magic elevator, Li Chuan and Grindelwald had already dashed out of the Magic Congress building and disappeared in an apparition.
