Chapter 51 Obtaining the Dragon Talisman
"Wanda, go and get that stone for me," the Holy Lord ordered Wanda, interrupting the standoff between the siblings.
Without hesitation, Wanda unleashed a torrent of crimson energy from her feet, surging downwards.
Pietro stood frozen in place, his fist still in the position it had been in when Wanda had restrained him.
The Holy Lord ignored Pietro and turned to Struck, who was slumped on the ground: "Hydra, the organization that once made the whole world tremble, is now just a pair of rats eating scraps."
A dull thud came from above, accompanied by the sound of concrete cracking.
Pietro's body tensed up as he tried to rush forward, but his legs felt like lead and were nailed to the ground.
He is now afraid to see his sister.
"Relax, kid. Fear is normal," the Holy Lord said calmly.
The commotion above didn't last long before Wanda returned to Shendu's side, holding a metal container in her hand.
She walked up to the Holy Lord, knelt on one knee, and held the container above her head with both hands: "Master, I have obtained the item."
Pietro felt a wave of nausea as he looked at Wanda's devout posture.
The Holy Lord took the container, his fingertips lightly tracing the closed lock. The metal container was torn open as if made of paper, exposing the contents to the air.
The Holy Lord placed the talisman in his palm, closed his eyes, and felt the long-lost power. A few seconds later, the Holy Lord frowned.
Wanda keenly noticed the change in Shendu's expression: "Master, is something wrong?"
The Holy Lord did not answer. He activated his magic power, and the dragon talisman in his palm lit up. A fist-sized flame burst out from the talisman, rolled twice in the air, and then dissipated.
The flames were very hot, but their power was too weak.
For ordinary people, this power would be enough to launch a deadly attack, but for the Holy Lord, it was as good as a match.
"It has been weakened, just like the Rat Talisman," the Holy Lord murmured.
The power of the Mind Stone appeared in his other palm. If he wanted, he could fuse the power of the Mind Stone with the Dragon Talisman, restoring or even strengthening its power, just like the previous four talismans.
However, this also means that the dragon talisman can be monitored by observers.
The Holy Lord stared at the two powers, shook his head, withdrew the power of the Mind Stone, and integrated the Dragon Talisman into his body.
It's not time to take risks. When fighting Tony before, God could feel the Mind Stone's erosion on the Rat Talisman deepening. If it happens too often, the Rat Talisman will be completely sealed, and he will have to return to his Dragon Coil form.
"Your objective has been achieved. Say goodbye to your brother." The Holy Lord relaxed his brow, feeling the power returning to his body.
Wanda looked at Pietro and simply nodded indifferently; she still remembered his rudeness towards Shendu earlier.
Pietro looked at his indifferent sister, who was about to leave with the Holy Lord, and opened his mouth, but said nothing.
On the top floor of Stark Industries, now a dilapidated building, the Holy Lord arrives at the room where Tony is imprisoned.
As expected, Tony has been rescued.
The shadow of the Holy Lord lengthened, and the figures of Steve and Natasha emerged from the shadow.
"Master." The two knelt on one knee behind the Holy Lord, completely ignoring Wanda behind him.
Wanda looked at Natasha and Steve, her eyes instantly reddening: "The Avengers?"
The Holy Lord waved his hand, calming Wanda down.
Wanda watched as Natasha and Steve's bodies gradually changed, eventually transforming into two ninjas dressed in black bodysuits.
"They are not the Avengers. I have already dealt with the real Steve and Natasha," Shendu said calmly. He activated the Monkey Talisman, and the two ninjas transformed back into Steve and Natasha.
"Are they the moles that Master planted in S.H.I.E.L.D.? No wonder he's Master," Wanda said obsequiously.
"Tony has met up with Fury and the others, but he hasn't seen Pepper. Their relationship is strained," Steve explained.
Natasha, who was standing nearby, added, "The military has two nuclear missiles that can be used at any time. They have partnered with Tony and are using Jarvis as an information source."
"Alright, you can continue. Don't expose yourselves without my orders," the Holy Lord commanded. Natasha and Steve disappeared into the Holy Lord's shadow.
"Master, can I have Tony?" Wanda asked.
The Holy Lord laughed and said, "Of course, Tony was prepared for you. Those so-called Avengers will never be able to stay put."
As the Holy Lord said, the Avengers will never be content.
At this moment, Tony, wearing his armor, flew in front of Shendu, with the remaining steel group behind him from the battle with Shendu that day.
Hawkeye hid in a tall building in the distance, his bow taut and aimed at the Holy Lord.
Natasha and Steve have already "infiltrated" behind the Holy Lord, ready to make their move at any moment.
call out!
An arrow shot from Hawkeye's hand, as if as a signal, and Tony and the Iron Legion behind him simultaneously raised their hand cannons and fired.
coax!
A tremendous roar echoed from the top floor of Stark Industries. When the smoke cleared, the Holy Lord stood there unharmed, with not even the building beneath him damaged.
Shendu raised an eyebrow at Tony. This arrogant guy had just fired a regular smoke grenade that could make a loud bang, which blocked Hawkeye's arrow midway through its launch.
Seeing that his first shot was ineffective, Hawkeye fired another arrow, but this time Tony intercepted it mid-flight.
Hawkeye stared incredulously at Tony flying in the air. This was completely different from the battle plan they had discussed earlier. Could it be that Tony had suddenly turned against them?
When Steve and Natasha saw that Hawkeye's attack had gone wrong, they quickly notified Fury, but Jarvis's voice came through their walkie-talkie.
"You are just my HR personnel."
Seeing that Shendu made no move, Tony flew to Shendu and aimed his palm cannon at Steve and Natasha, firing the shot.
The cover in front of them broke, revealing their figures.
Without hesitation, the steel legion behind them flew quickly behind the two and subdued them.
The Holy Lord also wanted to know what Tony was up to, so he ordered the two not to resist.
"My Lord, I want to know where Pepper is."
Tony had already removed his mask and was standing in front of the Holy Lord, looking very sincere.
"Hmm? Your sincerity is to make the two people behind you hostages?" The Holy Lord didn't answer, but instead asked, "You don't really think their lives can buy yours, do you?"
Tony shrugged: "It doesn't matter. I know the nuclear bomb is a threat to you. The launch device is linked to my life signal. Once I die, the nuclear bomb will be launched, and its destination will be the place where I last survived."
"Alright, I might as well tell you, but I can't confirm if she's alive. After all, that's where Fury arranged it, and I can't guarantee what he might do to your Pepper." Saint opened his mouth and mouthed an address to Tony.
Tony's pupils contracted slightly. This was the address Fury had taken him to see Happy and the others to show his sincerity and confirm his commitment. However, Pepper wasn't there, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to find Shendu like this.
