I work as an editor at Marvel.

No, it wasn't just parents; school principals, board members, journalists, and even some cults that preached the end times were contacting him.

"Yes, yes, Principal, you're right. I'll cancel the trip right now. I've already booked return flights for the others, and they'll check in tomorrow morning." The teacher in charge spoke very quickly, almost like rapping. "No problem, I promise you, I'll get all the students back, I promise!"

"If one person is missing, then you don't need to come back!"

beep...

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, the teacher in charge slammed his hand on the railing next to the corridor.

Guarantee? What a load of rubbish! I wish he could guarantee it!

Losing this job is bad enough, but he might also be sued and face jail time.

The only solution now is to bring all the students back safely.

But Peter, Ned, and Ned's girlfriend had completely disappeared without a trace. He had asked everyone he could, but no one knew where they had gone, and there were very few people who had even seen them.

The worst part is that some people say Ned was at the disaster site, at that small amusement park, when the disaster struck.

"Teacher? Have you heard anything about them?" Peter's goddess, Michelle Jones, opened the door and asked softly.

"No, the last person to see them said they seemed to be at the amusement park. The police didn't find any bodies at the amusement park, and they hope they're still alive." The teacher in charge was under immense pressure and desperately wanted someone to share the burden, so before he could even process what was happening, he had already blurted it out.

“Teacher, maybe I can help?” Michelle Jones said softly.

The teacher in charge scratched his head in frustration. "Alright! Just staying in your room is the biggest help you can give me right now!"

If another student gets lost, the teacher in charge is going to jump off a building!

After saying something irritatingly, the teacher in charge walked away muttering to himself. He had to go and check other places. Perhaps the disaster hadn't killed many people. The police video footage from the scene showed no signs of bodies, and no one had asked him to identify any bodies yet.

But the situation outside is unstable right now, and who knows what those idiots who are yelling that the end of the world is coming might do. If they kill Peter and the other two, he really doesn't know how to explain it to the others!

Having been silenced, Michelle Jones returned to her room and paced back and forth.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Michelle Jones kept muttering to herself, then took a long breath, "I should learn from Spider-Man, he's right, and my teacher will definitely support my decision!"

After giving herself a pep talk, Michelle Jones walked quickly to her dressing table, opened a drawer, carefully took out a rectangular box, and slowly opened it.

The box contained a thin, long, twig-like object, very simple, so simple that it didn't even have any extra decorations.

Michelle closed her eyes, paused for a few seconds, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with courage. She took out her wand and pointed it at the wardrobe next to her.

Get dressed quickly!

Michelle's pajamas were replaced with loose clothing suitable for running, exercising, and casting spells.

The next second, the girl peeked out the window, and after confirming that no one was behind the hotel, she jumped from the fifth floor.

Levitation Spell!

With the help of the spell, Michelle landed safely and then started walking towards the amusement park.

After traveling for so long, Michelle felt that her biggest mistake was not carrying a wand with her. She had not mastered wandless spellcasting, so without a wand, she was not much different from an ordinary little girl.

You can't blame her for this; who would have thought that a trip would lead to two supernatural attacks in a row!

Outside the secret base, Zhao Ling'er suddenly raised her head, looking in the direction where Michelle had cast her spell.

"What's wrong, teacher?" Peter, who was next to Zhao Ling'er, was startled and asked with concern.

"I sensed someone casting a spell, and it was a modern spell invented by Dumbledore!" Zhao Ling'er was a little unsure. The fluctuation was too weak, unlike something Dumbledore himself could cast. And in this world, besides Dumbledore, could there be someone else who could use spells?!

This is a clue. Even if that person isn't Dumbledore, they are very likely connected to him!

“I didn’t sense any magical fluctuations, but I sense trouble is coming.” Jess walked over and handed the screen in his hand to Zhao Ling’er. It showed the true fluctuations of the elemental beings that he had recorded when he arrived, and the value was now rising rapidly.

Clearly, they are about to face the true elemental beings.

On a bridge leading from the hotel to the amusement park in the city, Michelle was panting heavily. She was really tired after running for so long.

It seems the teacher was right; a spellcaster needs to be in good health. I need to work out more when I get back!

Michelle thought she should slow down and continue walking toward her destination.

Just then, the sea suddenly became turbulent under the cover of night, and an evil wind inexplicably blew up, its force increasing rapidly, making it difficult for Michelle to stand.

This is also because Michelle is too light. If it were Nancy, she could probably stand firmly in place like a pillar, without moving an inch.

Protect them all!

Looking around to make sure no one was watching, Michelle waved her wand, casting a protective spell on herself. The shield formed by the spell kept the gale at bay.

However, this spell seemed to be a trigger. After the spell took effect, the wind became even stronger, and then a giant hand made of seawater rose from the sea and slammed down on the bridge.

Phantom appearance!

Michelle reflexively released one of her most practiced spells. Her teacher had said that the first priority of a wizard is to know when to advance and when to retreat. If you can't do that, you might as well be like many knights and pursue unwavering progress.

boom!

Under the pounding of the giant hand formed from seawater, the protective shield shattered completely in just one second, along with a section of the bridge. The flying debris scattered in all directions, and the broken bridge section plunged directly into the sea.

Armor protects you!

The wand pointed forward, and an outward-extending one-way shield blocked the flying stones for Michelle, but the constantly swaying bridge made Michelle stand a little unsteady.

Immediately afterwards, Michelle saw an incredibly tall water-man rise from the sea, with surging waves forming whirlpools on the surface of the water-man's body.

The Elementals?! Weren't they wiped out by Mysterio in Venice?!

While Michelle was still in shock, the Water Elemental pushed forward with both hands, and a torrent rushed straight into Michelle.

Without time to dodge or think too much, Michelle gripped her wand tightly, channeling all her magic into it to create armor!

Boom! The one-way shield that Michelle had created was knocked off balance by the impact of the wave and looked like it was about to break, but it managed to block the attack. Michelle herself was also sent flying dozens of meters by the impact and was about to fall back to the ground from the bridge.

Before she could even feel relieved, Michelle felt a tremendous force act on her again. The one-way shield, which was already in a half-broken state, shattered completely, and Michelle was slapped to the ground beside her. Even more fatally, due to the second impact, Michelle's wand flew out of her hand and stuck in the ground not far away.

It was then that Michelle realized that the already enormous water creature was now even more outrageous, with one arm alone being half the length of the bridge. No wonder it could slap her so hard.

With her right hand on the ground, Michelle struggled to her feet and ran towards the wand a few meters away.

This short stretch of road felt like an insurmountable chasm at this moment; it was so close, yet felt like it was a world away.

The water elemental's attack arrived the moment Michelle took her first step. The torrent of water, like a high-pressure water gun, struck her. Without any magical protection, Michelle's chances of survival were extremely slim.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The ground beside Michelle suddenly shook, and then a stone wall rose up from the ground, blocking her way and protecting her.

Michelle picked up the wand, looked at the stone wall, and was a little confused for a moment. Then, she felt herself being carried and flying. In a daze, Michelle found herself directly on a tall building from the side of the bridge.

“Thank you…” Michelle was about to express her gratitude when she was startled by the person in front of her. “You’re Thor?! Thor, the God of Thunder! The Avengers are back?!”

Michelle instinctively took two steps back, feeling as if she had bumped into someone.

"Be careful, don't fall."

Turning her head, Michelle saw a black Spider-Man standing behind her. Although the outfit was very different from Spider-Man's, Michelle was certain for some reason that this person was Spider-Man.

"Peter, protect her." Thor left those words behind and disappeared.

“Peter?! Peter Parker?!” Michelle exclaimed in surprise.

Peter reluctantly removed his hood. He hadn't wanted to be exposed, but Thor had already said his name. "Um... good evening, MJ?"

"It really is you. I was only one-third sure you were Spider-Man, but I didn't expect you to actually be him. You've been hiding it really well," Michelle exclaimed.

“Likewise,” Peter replied with a smile. “Just like I didn’t know you were a… um… wizard?”

"How do you know about wizards...?"

Michelle was interrupted by a loud bang before she could finish speaking.

The two turned around and found that Thor had already engaged the Water Elemental in battle, with huge bolts of lightning leaping in the sky, though the effect didn't seem to be very good.

“It’s growing at an astonishing rate, and it feels much stronger than when we last saw it!” Michelle said seriously, while gripping her wand tightly.

“Because what we saw last time was fake.” Peter sighed. This time, the real Elementals had appeared, completely different from the illusion created by Beck.

In their own universes, fully formed elementals are truly legendary. Even if their strength is greatly diminished when they cross worlds, as long as they successfully manifest, they are still monsters at least at the sub-legendary level. Moreover, each elemental possesses extremely strong resistance to various things and immortality, making them very difficult to kill.

Thor is a difficult opponent, especially when the area is surrounded by the sea and there are people living nearby. To avoid harming innocent people, Thor doesn't dare to use his ultimate move. Moreover, the opponent can draw water from the water at any time to heal himself.

"Thor, step aside, let me handle this. I have experience dealing with these elemental aggregates." Zhao Ling'er finally arrived at the scene in her true form. She was a little late because she had stopped to protect Michelle on the way. That's right, the stone wall was her doing.

Thor stepped back immediately upon hearing the sound. Having been in the Human Alliance for so long, he had some understanding of the Nuwa clan.

From ancient times until the establishment of the Heavenly Court in modern times, the Nuwa clan was responsible for suppressing the water demon beasts that wreaked havoc on the world for generations. Whether in terms of mystical level or strength, the water demon beasts were far stronger than the water people in front of them. They were legendary figures.

Moreover, the Water Demon Beast was as difficult to deal with as Dracula. The Nuwa clan struggled for so long but could not completely defeat it. It was only later that the Heavenly Emperor intervened and resolved the issue.

The solution is simple and straightforward: since the Water Demon Beast loves water so much, just break its core and seal the concept into the Water Spirit Orb. This will not only improve the grade of the Water Spirit Orb but also prevent elemental concept creatures like the Water Demon Beast from appearing again.

Michelle looked at Zhao Ling'er who appeared later and felt a little worried. Zhao Ling'er looked weak and insignificant in front of the water elementals. Such a weak woman might suffer a loss when facing such a huge monster! After all, it was an enemy that even Thor had not been able to defeat.

"Peter, where's that Mysterio? Wasn't he always dealing with these monsters? Why didn't he show up this time? Was he injured?" Michelle asked with concern.

Peter looked very bad. This embarrassing incident was probably hard to get over completely, but then he thought that since Michelle, the wizard, hadn't noticed, it didn't seem so embarrassing anymore.

“MJ, Mysterio is a fraud. Those Elementals were just projections he created using his technology. It’s real!” Peter said slowly. “But don’t worry, Teacher Zhao is very capable. She said she’s good at solving this, so she’s definitely right!”

Chapter 375 This is possible, but this is really not!

The sea was turbulent, and both sides were observing their enemy. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and it was the last calm before the big battle.

Another thing is that the water people have been around for so long, but the local army has shown no intention of maintaining order or protecting the people. Perhaps this is a unique feature of this place.

When faced with supernatural events like the Water Man, most countries here tacitly hand over the responsibility of handling the matter to so-called superheroes, such as the Avengers, the fake hero Mysterio, and now the suddenly appearing Zhao Ling'er.

This way, they can "reasonably" avoid responsibility for the matter. If they succeed, they can jump out and show their faces; if they fail, the responsibility will fall entirely on the superheroes, and they will have nothing to do with it. They can also give these superheroes a media package and play with moral blackmail and the like.

This special "tacit understanding" can be traced back to General Ross, who was the first person to try to use the army to capture super criminals. His fate became a negative example in everyone's eyes. Not only did he fail to solve the problem, but he also almost lost his own life. Not only his position, but his life was also in danger on many occasions.

Therefore, politicians in more and more countries tend to ignore such incidents and let them happen and cause destruction, since they are not the ones who die. If no one takes action, the biggest criticism will be directed at the superheroes, or at least they will guide the criticism to be directed at them.

This may explain why Fury has been so arrogant all these years, always thinking he can control everything and that the Earth would be destroyed without him.

After all, compared to these guys, Nick Fury doesn't seem so bad. In fact, he's not only not bad, but he's also farsighted, knows how to plan ahead, and is selfless and dedicated.

Snow and ice!

After a stalemate of about half a minute, Zhao Ling'er made the first move. The phantom of the Water Demon Beast appeared behind her in the Water Spirit Orb, and then a breath of cold air was spewed out from the mouth of the Water Demon Beast, covering the sea area in front of her.
