Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 368 Million Little Red Stars (6000+ words)

Seeing that things were completely out of control, Pierce quickly pressed a button he had prepared beforehand with his other hand, which was always in his pocket.

"Snap!"

Outside the large glass window behind Pierce, a masked man descended from the sky, then smashed the window with a punch using his left mechanical arm, landing next to Pierce.

"Winter Soldier!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Black Widow immediately called out their name.

This is a highly renowned assassin in global intelligence organizations, who has successfully assassinated more than twenty important figures over fifty years.

Even Black Widow, a top agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., was at a disadvantage when she first encountered the other party five years ago. The other party even punched a hole in her waist, making her say goodbye to bikinis forever.

And the same person who seriously injured Nick Fury yesterday and then calmly left after fighting Captain America was also this one.

After landing, the Winter Soldier immediately attached the restraints to Pierce and raised his machine gun to suppress Jerry and the others.

"We can't let him get away!"

Seeing Pierce being pulled away by a helicopter outside to escape the office, Nick Fury shouted loudly.

Before Captain America and the others could rush over, Jerry unleashed a triple magic attack.

"Disarm you, Divine Sharpness, Shadowless Blade, disarm you!"

Just as the Winter Soldier raised his machine gun, it suddenly flew off on its own, and the rope that was pulling Pierce out of the window snapped as well.

Left with no other option, he raised his left mechanical arm and charged at the wizard opposite him, intending to eliminate this greatest threat in close combat.

As a result, he had only gone halfway when his powerful mechanical arm flew out like a machine gun.

Immediately afterwards, Captain America's shield hit his face, knocking him to the ground. Then, Black Widow, who was following closely behind, forcibly locked his head with her legs crossed, suffocating him until he passed out before letting go.

Meanwhile, Pierce, seeing his strongest ace, the Winter Soldier, captured instantly and with no hope of escape, didn't despair. Instead, he glanced at the time on his watch, burst into laughter, and plopped down on the ground.

"You've lost! Long live Hydra!"

As Pierce laughed, a tremendous roar came from outside the broken window.

Upon hearing this voice, Nick Fury's expression immediately changed:

"Oh no, he's stalling for time."

The group went to the glass window and looked in the direction from which the sound came from.

The headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. is located on Theodore Roosevelt Island in Washington, D.C., so it is actually surrounded by a large river called the Potomac River.

However, the river in everyone's eyes suddenly parted to the two sides, revealing three huge holes.

Inside the cavity were three space carriers loaded with countless of Earth's most advanced weapons.

It turns out that the entire riverbed of the Potomac River had long been hollowed out by S.H.I.E.L.D. and secretly transformed into a base for the research, development, manufacturing, and takeoff of space carriers.

"It's too late. In less than ten minutes, everyone identified as a threat by the Zola Algorithm will disappear from the world forever, including you. Hydra will eventually rule this world."

Pierce struggled to his feet and sat down in his chair.

When he discovered that Jerry and his team had infiltrated the building, he ordered most of the Hydra agents to intercept them, while the remaining agents activated the Space Carrier, directly initiating Project Insight.

He has been delaying in the office until now in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Insight Project.

"Before I die, I'll smash your head like a watermelon."

Nick Fury saw three space carriers take off from the river and angrily turned around and kicked Pierce, who was sitting in a chair, to the ground.

Pierce wasn't angry when he heard this; he just chuckled and said:

"A new, more orderly, and more perfect world is about to be born. My ideal has been achieved. What does it matter if I die? Do you think I'm afraid of death?"

Who are the most terrifying people in the world? They are those who have faith and are extremely firm in their faith.

Because they are truly willing to dedicate their lives without hesitation for the beliefs they hold dear.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are willing to sacrifice themselves to complete their missions in order to protect humanity, and Hydra agents are similarly willing to commit suicide without hesitation if captured, all for the sake of Hydra's ideals.

They all have firm beliefs, but the underlying principles of those beliefs are fundamentally contradictory.

"Unfortunately, the perfect new world you envision will likely never come to fruition!"

Jerry, who was also watching the three space carriers take off, didn't seem to care. Instead, he turned to Coulson and asked:

"Did Thor tell you what happened at Kamatagi after he came back last time?"

"No, he just said you guys did a great job."

Coulson didn't understand why Jerry would ask that question when he was so nervous.

"Unexpectedly, Thor has kept his mouth shut for once. Don't worry, I'll take care of those three space carriers, though the process might be a bit violent!"

Jerry nodded, conjured another Hermione's face, spread a pair of large, pure white wings, and flew out of the glass window.

"Particle Cannon!"

Jerry casually conjured a particle cannon and blasted away the Hydra helicopter that was preparing to help Pierce escape. He quickly reached high altitude.

"It's time to show everyone my true strength!"

Jerry hovered in the air, watching as reporters began to notice the commotion and approach by vehicles, even civilian helicopters. He then began to unleash his most powerful magic.

After this incident, S.H.I.E.L.D. will completely lose the trust of the Security Council, transforming from an international super-organization into a national organization, and its agents will be significantly reduced.

Therefore, it will basically not have any further impact on him in the future.

However, this does not mean that no one will harass him or his family again in the future.

After all, there will always be some people who see him as a threat, or some who covet his power and want to use him to achieve their own goals.

Now, he's going to let all these kinds of people in the world know just how powerful his wizarding abilities are, and let them know what terrible price they'll pay if they provoke a wizard.

Just like a country, it's completely different whether you have nuclear weapons or not.

"The Form of Ekron!"

To the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra agents, the Washington reporters who rushed over, and ordinary people in the distance, the wizard floating high in the sky suddenly split into fifteen.

"A Hundred Dragons Descend!"

Immediately afterwards, they saw a hundred fire dragons, even larger and more concentrated than those from the Battle of New York, appear above the heads of each wizard.

Fifteen hundred fire dragons roared simultaneously above the Tri-Wing Building, a sight even more awe-inspiring than three massive space carriers.

"go!"

With a loud shout from Jerry, 1,500 fire dragons split into three groups of 500 each and charged toward the three space carriers that were still taking off.

"Boom boom boom boom boom"

Countless loud explosions rang out, and the three massive space carriers were transformed into three giant fireballs by 1,500 fire dragons, crashing into the Potomac River.

However, before the fireball could even fall into the river, it had already completely turned into air.

Jerry's Fire Dragon Spell is no ordinary fire magic. When he was researching and creating this spell, he also incorporated some dark magic principles from the Fiendfyre spell.

However, the Fire Dragon Spell is not as difficult to control as the Fiery Spell; when it burns intensely, it can also burn the caster in the process.

So let alone ordinary steel, even the anti-magic suit that S.H.I.E.L.D. specially developed at great expense to prevent fire attacks cannot actually defend against the burning of the Fire Dragon Curse.

After demonstrating his destructive power, comparable to a nuclear bomb, Jerry Apparated and disappeared from the sky, reappearing in the office where Nick Fury and the others were.

Meanwhile, Nick Fury and the others, including Pierce who had just thought he had victory in his grasp, were still completely dumbfounded.

According to the intelligence that S.H.I.E.L.D. obtained about the wizard, the last time the wizard displayed his most destructive magic was when he fought the Extremis with Iron Man.

They used a spell similar to a mini tornado to shred a cruise ship in the sea.

That magic was indeed very powerful, but its strength was only about the same as a tactical missile, because a single tactical missile could easily destroy a cruise ship.

However, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s space carriers are on a completely different level from ordinary cruise ships.

Aside from being on a completely different scale, the materials used in its construction are among the best in the world, and the scientific and technological advancements it embodies have surpassed the level of Earth.

However, that powerful space carrier was instantly reduced to nothing by a single spell from the wizard, leaving not even a trace behind.

That's a bit scary.

Furthermore, wizards possess the ability to teleport. If they wished, wouldn't they be able to teleport to any city at will and instantly burn the entire city to ruins with fire magic?

From this perspective, the existence of wizards is even more threatening than nuclear bombs.

Because nuclear bombs can at least be intercepted with modern technology, but you have no way to intercept wizards.

"Mirror Space!"

After retrieving Garrett and Silverton from the mirror space, Jerry asked Nick Fury:

"Now, there's nothing more for me to do, right?"

He had just dealt with most of the Hydra agents in the building, and the rest, along with the three space carriers, were reduced to ashes.

He estimated that even if some escaped the net, they wouldn't amount to much.

Moreover, Captain America and Black Widow are also present, and Nick Fury is no pushover. If the cleanup goes wrong, then there's really no hope.

As for the future direction of S.H.I.E.L.D., that's not something he should be concerned with.

Anyway, it doesn't affect him at all.

"That's all!"

Nick Fury replied, trying to appear calm.

He felt that it was a wise decision that he had previously considered using force to control the wizards but ultimately rejected the idea.

Otherwise, even without Hydra causing any trouble, he and S.H.I.E.L.D. would probably have been burned to the ground long ago.

He knew that although wizards had a strong sense of justice and were kind to ordinary people, they were never ruthless when facing enemies. Despite their young age, they had a lot of blood on their hands.

"Well, I'll be going now. Class starts in five minutes. Oh, by the way, you might need these truth serums later."

Of course, all of these come at a price, including helping you deal with Hydra this time, and those three space carriers.

I don't need much. Besides the cutting-edge biological research equipment you promised before, please compile a list of all the relevant materials from your S.H.I.E.L.D. regarding biological research and experiments, as well as some more advanced biotechnologies, and give them to me.

Is everything alright?

Jerry nodded and took out seven or eight bottles of truth serum from the box and tossed them to Nick Fury.

Truth Potion is definitely one of the most expensive and top-tier potions in the Harry Potter world, but for Jerry, it's no different from the cheapest ordinary potion.

You should know that on the grass in the box space, he used life magic to generate countless raw materials needed for Truth Potion. In addition, with his current potion-making skills approaching master level, he can even mass-produce them.

The reason he only gave seven or eight bottles was because he had already refined seven or eight bottles before.

After all, who would spend time making so much truth serum and keeping it around?

"Of course, no problem!"

Nick Fury was quite decisive this time.

Putting aside the immense help Jerry provided, which fully justified his request, Jerry's ability to destroy three space carriers in one fell swoop just now would make him hesitant to disagree.

Jerry nodded upon seeing this, then drew a portal and returned to Columbia University in New York.

Jerry entered the classroom on time, found an empty seat, cast a Muggle-blocking spell, and then opened his panel to check.

"Hiss~~~"

Upon seeing the number of little red stars on the panel, Jerry couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, the number of little red stars on the panel had increased by a full million compared to before he left Columbia University yesterday.

Millions! This is the most Little Red Stars he has ever received so far.

Actually, upon closer reflection, it's not surprising. After all, if he hadn't intervened, the Eye of Insight project would likely have succeeded, although it might not have killed all of Hydra's enemies, such as those like him, who would have been impossible to deal with even by the weapons on the space carrier.

However, the death toll is certainly close to 20 million.

Perhaps Project Insight wouldn't have succeeded before Jerry appeared in this world, but because of Jerry's arrival, many things in the world have already changed.

He has become a very important part of the chain.

If he had stood by and watched the operation succeed, Nick Fury, Black Widow, Captain America, and even Tony Stark, who might not have had a chance to put on his Iron Man suit, could have been killed by a sudden aerial attack.

It's important to understand that neither Odin nor the Ancient One would interfere in wars originating from within the Earth and involving humans.

Perhaps that's why he was able to receive a huge reward of one million Little Red Stars all at once.

When he stopped the Dark Elves from plunging the universe back into darkness, he only received a reward of a few hundred thousand Little Red Stars. Perhaps it was because if he hadn't intervened, the Ancient One, Odin, and others would have, and the Dark Elves' plan would never have been realized.

Therefore, that can only be considered a reward for preventing aliens from invading Earth.

With the newly acquired million Little Red Stars, plus the Little Red Stars left over from defeating the Dark Elf invasion, he can now focus on his wizard bloodline research for a long time to come.

His goal this time was twofold: firstly, to increase the purity of the wizard's bloodline, thereby increasing the total amount of magic power and solving the problem of insufficient magic power when casting large-scale spells.

On the other hand, they also wanted to see if they could improve the strength of their physical body through this.

With the help of the Longevity Technique, his physical body was actually no worse than that of an ordinary Asgardian. However, without magical protection, relying solely on his physical defense, he would basically be killed if hit by bullets from modern weapons, especially heavy weapons like machine guns.

If his physical body could be further enhanced to the point that ordinary modern weapons could not penetrate his defenses, then his ability to withstand danger would be greatly improved.

Christmas Eve.

Jerry, unusually, didn't study magic or biology, but instead returned to the villa to celebrate with his family.

Unlike previous years, when Jerry, Elsa, and Haas spent Christmas together, this year Ms. Belle and her father, Mr. Pizarro, were also there.

Of course, if you really want to include the new family member that Belle is four months pregnant with, you should also take that into account.

Yes, not long after Jerry started school, Bailey was found to be pregnant, and she was already a month along, but it was too subtle to tell.

After a sumptuous dinner, everyone sat together on the sofa in the living room and watched TV.

"I'm your favorite reporter, Lucy. Today I'm reporting on New York's newest superhero—Robot Man."

As you all probably know, just the night before last, the police tracked down a heinous human smuggling case at the East River port in Queens. However, the criminals were too well-armed and even took hostages, leaving the police somewhat helpless for a while.

But just then, our new hero, Mech Man, appeared. Piloting a giant mech, he quickly helped the police defeat the criminals, rescue the hostages, and finally transformed into a black sports car and disappeared into the streets. Some say he's a Transformer.

"Let's change the channel. It's Christmas Eve, so it's better to watch a stand-up comedy show for some fun!"

Upon seeing the TV report about "Robot Man," Has quickly grabbed the remote and changed the channel while explaining.

That's right, the so-called "mech hero" is actually Haas himself.

After learning of Little Steel Cannon's "true identity," he kept it a secret from everyone, only activating its combat mode when no one was around, and driving it around to have some fun.

He hadn't originally intended to become a superhero, although he secretly harbored a superhero dream. However, reason told him that as a police chief, that wasn't something he should be doing.

However, during a raid the day before yesterday, his police officers were met with a strong counterattack from members of the human smuggling gang, and several brave officers were seriously injured on the spot.

Seeing that the opponent was about to escape by boat, he got angry and activated his little cannon's battle mode to personally take the field.

However, it was during this battle that he learned that the little cannon could actually change its external form, and could simulate the forms of normal cars such as police cars, sports cars, and vans.

"Actually, it's pretty good. Ever since the wizard disappeared a month ago, the crime rate has skyrocketed. Having another superhero is always a good thing!"

At this moment, Belle, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled.

She felt that with the disappearance of wizards and the rise in crime rates, Haas, as the director, would face greater pressure. With multiple superheroes helping to catch criminals, Haas's job would be easier.

"Yes, there's also a superhero mahjong girl. I often see news reports about her. With them around, even if the wizard doesn't show up, those criminals won't dare to be so rampant."

At this point, Jerry chimed in, echoing Bailey's words.

Since the video of Jerry using 1,500 fire dragons to instantly destroy three space carriers was released a month ago, the topic of wizards has exploded around the world.

Half of the comments were acknowledgments and praise for wizards, but the other half extended this to a viewpoint called the "wizard threat theory."

The implication is that since wizards are so powerful, if one day they turn evil, who can restrain or stop them? How can the safety of ordinary people be guaranteed?

Moreover, there are quite a few people who support this "wizard threat theory".

Jerry had anticipated this situation.

After he demonstrated terrifying strength, those who harbored ill intentions towards him would naturally dare not provoke him anymore. However, he would also instill fear in some people.

And those dark forces who fear being struck down by wizards will surely use this opportunity to create and guide public opinion, making more people feel fear.

Faced with this situation, he simply chose to disappear.

It's not like what's reported in the news, that he was heartbroken by ordinary people or chose to live in seclusion because he couldn't bear the pressure of public opinion.

The main reason is that he now has plenty of Little Red Stars, and it's not worth wasting time fighting criminals at night. It would be better to focus on studying his wizard bloodline.

Moreover, whether it's "Mahjong Girl" or "Mech Man" who has just started to make his move, as long as they do good deeds with magic and small cannons, he will still have a steady stream of little red stars coming into his account.

On the other hand, he also knew that human nature was like that, and most people were selfish. Even though he had done so many good deeds and saved so many people, and his power was so great that it was frightening, there would still be people who were afraid of him and rejected him.

Therefore, he shouldn't be too nice to them. Now, he's disappeared for a while, making everyone think that the wizard is disappointed in them, allowing his villains to become active and bolder. Once they all jump out and start causing disaster, it won't be too late for him to make his move.

That way, we can not only harvest another batch of little red stars, but also let everyone know the importance of the existence of wizards.

He had seen Maguire's Spider-Man, and he genuinely thought that Spider-Man was good and kind enough, but many people were still dissatisfied with him and had a lot of opinions about him.

Therefore, some people really don't deserve to be saved.
