Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 359 The Guardian of the Reality Gem (6000+ words)

"I am Thor, the God of Thunder, for the glory of Asgard!"

After Thor landed on the warship, he roared and skillfully used his hammer technique to send two dark elves wielding laser guns flying with a left and right swing.

However, no sooner had his roar subsided than a massive laser cannon struck his silver armor, blasting him away and sending him crashing into the metal wall of the warship.

It was the warship's defense system that automatically locked onto and attacked the intruder.

"Thunderous explosion!"

Jerry landed right after Thor, and with a blast spell he hit the laser cannon hidden in the corner of the wall, turning it into a pile of scrap metal.

"Sol, are you alright?"

"It's alright. The Thor's Armor I'm wearing was forged by the Dwarf King from Uru metal at the behest of Father God. These laser weapons are useless against me!"

Thor rolled over and got up from the ground, stretched his arms, and replied with his head held high.

The armor worn by Odin, Loki, and Thor was forged from Uru, the rarest metal among the dwarves, and incorporated the dwarves' renowned crafting skills.

Therefore, the three's armor can not only be summoned, worn, and transformed at will, but also has amazing defensive capabilities, especially against energy weapons such as lasers and magic. Even if it is damaged, it can automatically repair itself over time.

The laser cannon just now hit Thor's silver Thor armor, but it caused almost no damage. At most, the kinetic energy generated by the cannon sent him flying and crashing into the wall.

However, the armor made of Uru metal is not without its weaknesses; it is difficult to defend against blunt force trauma and penetration by sharp weapons.

For example, if Jerry attacks Thor with ordinary magic, it will basically be blocked by Thor's armor, unless it hits Thor's unarmored face. However, if Jerry releases his Guardian Angel and picks Thor up and slams him to the ground, it can cause him considerable damage.

Or you could just stab it with a sharp weapon. Ordinary sharp weapons definitely won't work; you'd need at least a super weapon like those from Asgard, such as Loki's favorite dagger.

"Thank goodness I called Thor!"

Seeing Thor stand up almost unharmed, Jerry secretly rejoiced that he had put a meat shield in front of him.

If he had landed first, the two dark elves would not have posed a threat to him, but the hidden laser cannon would most likely have blasted him to pieces in one shot.

The laser's speed is so fast that if he were ambushed, he wouldn't have had time to cast the Ironclad Curse.

However, being constantly under the Iron Armor Curse makes it inconvenient to cast other spells.

"Someone else is coming!"

Not far away, a metal gate opened, and dozens of dark elves wielding laser guns charged menacingly towards them.

"Protect the Gods, protect yourself with armor!"

Jerry first summoned his second-form guardian deity, then wrapped himself in armor.

Better safe than sorry. Who knows how many hidden laser cannons or other high-tech weapons are along the way? I'll put my armor on the Ironclad Charm first to be safe, and leave the attacks to the Guardian and Thor who are not afraid of getting hurt.

"biubiubiu"

The dark elves fired lasers at Thor and Jerry. Jerry's lasers were all blocked by the Ironclad Curse, while Thor protected his head with one arm and then swung Mjolnir with all his might.

Seeing this, Jerry also controlled the guardian spirit, and together they flew towards the dark elves.

A moment later, dozens of dark elves who had come to attack were all physically stunned and fell to the ground.

After confirming safety, Jerry temporarily lifted the Ironclad Spell, allowing the Guardian to subdue the only remaining conscious Dark Elf soldier, and silently chanted an incantation to him:

"The soul leaves the body!"

To capture the enemy, you must first capture their leader. This warship is so big, who knows how many dark elves it has, or how many advanced defensive mechanisms it has? If they want to take over the warship quickly and prevent the enemy from escaping, they need to understand the warship's structure as quickly as possible and find the leader of the dark elves.

The Soul-Stealing Curse was cast smoothly; clearly, these ordinary dark elf soldiers were not particularly determined individuals.

"Tell me, where is your leader?"

Jerry asked sternly.

The dark elf replied with a blissful expression:

"Akamara Guluka."

"Sol, what did he say?"

Listening to the dark elf's incoherent reply, Jerry looked at Thor with a puzzled expression.

Thor shrugged helplessly.

"Don't look at me. I'm not Loki. The Dark Elves have been gone for so long, I don't understand their language!"

"Okay, that's a reasonable answer."

I thought that Thor, having lived for over a thousand years, would at least be able to understand some Dark Elf language, but it turns out that Thor, this muscle-bound man who only loves fighting, clearly hasn't put any effort into learning languages.

So he had to change his strategy, staring into the dark elf's eyes and casting the spell again:

"Capture the spirit, grasp the mind!"

The Mind-Reading Mantra directly accesses thoughts and memories, constituting a form of spiritual communication. Therefore, even if there is a language barrier, relevant information can still be obtained.

"Chief, that mage and Asgardian warrior are breaking through our defenses and charging straight towards the command center!"

The thin, dark elf approached Malekith again, reporting anxiously to his guide.

Malekith watched the mage in the virtual video repeatedly using magic to open metal doors and the Asgardian warriors who were hammering away at dark elf warriors, his brows furrowing deeply.

"Midgard has produced such powerful mages in recent years? And why are there people from Asgard here? Fine, since they're all blocking my clan's revival, then they can all die!"

Jerry's act of destroying thirty aircraft with a single spell truly frightened Malekith, after all, even Asgard did not have such a powerful mage back then.

In addition, there was a very powerful Asgardian warrior, so he decided to use the Dark Elf's last trump card to eliminate the two of them in one fell swoop, and then go down to retrieve the Aether Particles himself.

The celestial bodies are about to merge, and he must obtain the ether particles and rush to the merging point before the merging ends. Only in that way can he utilize the powerful force generated during the celestial bodies' merging to fully unleash the ether particles' capabilities and plunge the universe back into darkness.

Otherwise, even if he obtained the ether particles, without the support of the power released when celestial bodies converge, he alone might not be able to plunge the universe back into darkness, let alone plunge a single planet back into darkness.

If he could truly master the power of the Aether particles on his own, he wouldn't have been so easily defeated and forced to flee by that guy, Bohr.

"Chief, don't hesitate!"

At this moment, a tall dark elf stepped past the other dark elf warriors and came before Malekith.

Malekith looked at his deputy commander, who had always followed him, and a hint of reluctance appeared in his eyes:

"Argorim, do you know the consequences of bearing this curse?"

"I am willing to give my life, just like those who sacrificed their lives, just like you!"

Algorim's tone was firm, clearly indicating that he had already made up his mind long ago.

Seeing the two intruders getting closer and closer on the virtual screen, Malekith no longer hesitated. He drew his dagger and plunged it into Algrim's body, then placed the last cursed stone in his hand.

"You will become a spirit of the night, cursed by this world until you are completely assimilated!"

"By then, our enemies will no longer be able to stop you, because I will utterly crush them, and I will create a completely new universe for you!"

Algrim finished speaking firmly, then crushed the cursed stone in his hand. With a roar, he transformed into a cursed warrior with a black face, fangs, and a head full of horns.

His body was three or four times stronger than before, and his entire body was covered in hard scales, making him look like a monster.

Meanwhile, Jerry, who had read the mind of the dark elf soldiers through Legilimency, led Thor through all the obstacles and arrived at the last metal door leading to the warship's command room.

"Is that Malekith behind this door? Open the door, let me smash his head in!"

Thor, carrying his little hammer, looked excited.

Teaming up with Jerry for battle was so easy for him; he didn't need to cooperate at all, he just had to keep hammering.

Because Jerry was standing behind him, he was both drawing fire with his light-emitting form, providing him with shields, and occasionally controlling his shadow to freeze the opposing dark elf warriors in place, making the most of his support abilities.

"The Arahomon Opens!"

Jerry cast a lock-picking spell on the metal door, and the large lock, made of completely unknown technology, opened instantly under the spell's influence. Thor kicked the door open and roared as he rushed inside.

"boom!"

As soon as Jerry followed Thor into the command center, he saw Thor flying backwards towards him at an even greater speed than when he had rushed in.

So he quickly waved his hand, summoning a gentle breeze to dissipate the impact on Thor and block it with his hand.

"Thor, it seems you've met your match!"

Jerry looked at the terrifying cursed warrior standing next to Malekith, then at the huge fist mark on Thor's chest armor, and couldn't help but make a joke.

However, at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the Dark Elf race seemed to have something else besides technology.

"I was just careless!"

Thor got up, took a breath, then picked up his hammer, roared, and leaped down to smash it at the cursed warrior once more.

A moment later, Thor, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, was once again sent flying back by the cursed warrior.

Clearly, in terms of strength and close combat ability, Thor is no match for that powerful cursed warrior. In their recent exchange, the cursed warrior dominated Thor almost the entire time.

"Any enemy who dares to stand in the way of our people's revival shall die! Kill them all!"

Malekith roared from the opposite side, and the cursed warrior and dozens of the most elite dark elf guards, armed with various weapons, charged towards Thor and Jerry.

"Looks like you want a group fight, huh? Then you're the ones I choose, Dementors!"

Facing the powerful cursed warriors and dark elves, Jerry, who had been maintaining his Ironclad Spell, remained completely calm, slowly took out his spatial box, and gently opened it.

Immediately, a group of Dementors wearing cloaks screamed as they filed out and charged toward the dark elf warriors.

"Huh, there's actually one that's immune!"

The Dementors completely ignored the Dark Elves' weapon attacks, targeting each Dark Elf warrior one by one, turning them into terrified statues, paralyzed on the ground, motionless.

This includes Malekith, the leader of the dark elves, who was ordered by Jerry to be the main target. He was being sucked by three Dementors at the same time and felt that his body had completely entered a stage of despair and wanted to commit suicide.

The powerful cursed warrior, however, was completely unaffected by the Dementors.

Perhaps it's because he can no longer be considered human, or perhaps he no longer has the emotion of happiness in his mind.

Therefore, Dementors, which attack by consuming pleasure, cannot affect it.

"Thor, do you want revenge?"

Seeing the cursed warrior being stopped by the guardian spirit halfway through his charge, Jerry asked Thor, who was standing up angrily.

The cursed warrior on the other side is probably no weaker than the Hulk. Although the Guardian God has strength comparable to the giant and strong magical defense, his physical defense is quite average, so it will be difficult for him to hold out for long.

The command room was filled with various machines, and he didn't want to use any powerful spells to cause a lot of damage.

After all, if they eliminate the Dark Elves, they might be able to study their super battleship and still find a use for it. If they destroy it, it would be a huge waste.

"Of course, I'm going to smash his head in!"

Thor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, reached out and recalled Mjolnir, which had just been knocked away, and prepared to go forward again to fight the cursed warrior for the third time.

However, Jerry grabbed him.

"Wait a minute, let me give you a buff first, Strength!"

Jerry reached out and slapped Thor on the forehead, casting the "Power" magic that amplifies strength onto him, and then withdrew his Guardian Angel, which had been pierced through by the cursed warrior once again.

"Oh, Jerry, what did you do to me? Why do I feel like I could take on ten of them right now!"

Thor clenched his fists tightly, instantly creating a feeling of explosive energy. He had never felt his body so powerful before.

"It's just a support magic that can increase strength!"

Jerry smiled, then grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the box and started cracking them open while floating in the air.

The principle of "power" magic is to amplify the strength of the target through a special method. The greater the strength of the target, the better the effect.

Thor, as the God of Thunder, is already incredibly strong, and with the aid of "strength" magic, his strength is naturally amplified.

"I love you so much, Jerry!"

Thor grabbed Mjolnir, let out a loud laugh, and charged toward the onrushing cursed warrior.

"boom!"

When the two met, it was not Thor who was sent flying this time, but the powerful cursed warrior.

"Clang clang clang clang clang"

With Jerry's magic buff, So began to launch a crushing attack on the cursed warrior, showcasing all sorts of fancy hammer techniques.

Under relentless, powerful hammer blows, the strong cursed warrior finally met his end with a roar.

On the rooftop of Kamar-Taj.

Jerry released Malekith, who was unconscious with a stun spell, along with the remaining hundred-odd dark elf warriors and the ship's crew, from the box and asked the Ancient One:

"Ancient One, these are the leader of the dark elves and all the remaining dark elves. What should we do with them?"

"Mage Carmen, you defeated them, so you have more right to say how to deal with them than I do."

The Ancient One didn't look at the dark elves on the ground, but smiled and looked at Jerry, wanting to see how Jerry would deal with them.

Jerry's heart skipped a beat. After thinking for three seconds, he replied with righteous indignation:

"Actually, from their perspective, wanting their race to prosper isn't entirely wrong, but their actions have already threatened the entire universe."

Therefore, my suggestion is to confiscate their warships, erase their memories, and send them back to their homeland, Vatheim, so that they can continue to thrive and multiply there!

In reality, Jerry's true thought was to kill them all to end it all and avoid any future troubles.

But now it's clear that the Ancient One is testing him, so he can't answer like that.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi nodded with full approval, seemingly quite satisfied with Jerry's answer.

"While you and Lord Thor were fighting, I removed the aether particles from Miss Daisy's body. She's fine now!"

"Thank you so much, Ancient One, for your help!"

Jerry, Thor, Jane, and Daisy, who had regained her senses and realized what had happened, all expressed their gratitude to the Ancient One.

Jerry then cast a forgetting spell on all the living dark elves, erasing all their memories, and then cast a false memory spell, adding some false memories.

Thor also summoned the Rainbow Bridge, sending the dark elves to Wattheim, one of the Nine Realms and the homeland of the dark elves.

It seems Odin has learned of the situation through Heimdall and has temporarily lifted the ban on Thor.

After everything was over, when Thor returned, Jerry, following the Ancient One's instructions, put the dark elf warship into his box. Without asking about the final destination of the Aether, he greeted the Ancient One and prepared to send Thor and the others back.

Jerry certainly wants to possess the Aether, the Reality Stone, since it involves the fundamental laws of the universe, and it would be good to be able to study it.

Moreover, it possesses immense power, and it may take decades or even centuries of study to learn how to use it.

However, with powerful beings like the Ancient One and Odin around, he felt it best not to reveal his thoughts about the Aether.

However, just as he was about to leave Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One called him to a room alone and gave Jerry a red gem.

"Ancient One, what is this?"

Jerry looked at the red gem in his hand, feeling the powerful energy within it, and showed a surprised expression.

Gu Yi explained upon seeing this:

"This is the Aether particle, or you could call it the Reality Stone!"

Jerry knew, of course, that it was the Reality Stone. What surprised him wasn't that, but rather why the Ancient One had given him the Reality Stone, which left him somewhat bewildered.

The Ancient One didn't keep Jerry waiting long, and explained solemnly:

"While you were fighting the Dark Elves, I took the extracted Aether particles to Asgard and then discussed the ownership of the Aether particles with His Majesty Odin."

According to the rules, we do not allow anyone to use two or more gems at the same time, as that could cause a very serious disaster.

Now, His Majesty Odin is in charge of guarding the Space Stone, and I am in charge of guarding the Time Stone, so the Reality Stone cannot remain in the hands of either of us.

His Majesty Odin suggested entrusting the Reality Stone to a collector, but I didn't think that was a good idea. So, after discussion, we decided to give it to you as its guardian!

"Me, the guardian of the Reality Gem?"

Jerry was completely taken aback; it was truly a case of finding something without even trying.

He was afraid of being suspected of having ulterior motives, so he never had any designs on any of the Infinity Stones. Unexpectedly, he was now appointed by the Ancient One and Odin to be the guardian of the Reality Stone.

It seems that his strength and character demonstrated during this period have fully earned the recognition of the Ancient One and Odin.

"Isn't it a bit hasty to entrust me with something so important?"

Jerry, displaying great humility, postponed the request.

And the Ancient One did not disappoint him, confirming with absolute certainty:

"Jerry, your magical abilities are already quite powerful in the universe, more than enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the Gem Guardian, and your character is also trustworthy enough for us."

"Very well, since the Ancient One and His Majesty Odin trust me so much, as the new Guardian of the Gems, I swear that I will never let anyone take the Reality Stone from me!"

Jerry held the Reality Gem in his hand and then solemnly made a vow.

Just kidding. Once something is in his hands, how could it possibly be taken away by someone else? Anyone who dares to steal his gems will be sent to their grave.

When Gu Yi heard Jerry's sincere and determined vow, she smiled and nodded. She had indeed made the right choice!

Carefully storing the Reality Stone, Jerry bid farewell to the Ancient One, opened a portal, and sent Thor, Jane, and Daisy back to Coulson's Airbus. He then briefly recounted what had happened before returning to the villa.

The first thing I did upon returning to the villa was to open the control panel and check my Little Red Star haul.

Sure enough, events involving Infinity Stones always rewarded a good number of red stars. In less than a day, his number of red stars, which was almost depleted, increased by 300,000.

This gave him another taste of what it means to become rich overnight.

However, this incident also exposed a weakness he needs to address: his magic power.

It wasn't noticeable before, but this time, with a large-scale combined spell, half of his magic power was consumed in just one strike.

This means that his magical power has greatly increased, but his mana value is not keeping up.

Therefore, he needs to shorten the time he spends researching magic and focus on purifying his wizard bloodline.

Even though his current efficiency is already very high, it would be impossible for him to make a major breakthrough without several decades of meditation and cultivation on his own.

Therefore, purifying the wizard's bloodline will be his key to quickly solving the magic problem in the future.
