"No way, man, you're a superhero with your own movie, how did you fall so low?"
Ji Yuan was completely baffled. What universe was this? Could superheroes just die like that?
"Fine, let's try to save her."
Daredevil is a good person after all, and I can't just watch him die in front of me.
While he was thinking, Ji Yuan had already transformed into a beam of light and slid down through the window.
"Daredevil, this is what happens when you fight the Hand."
The leader of the three masked men in black spoke coldly, slowly crouching down to look into Daredevil's slightly pale eyes.
Daredevil Matt Murdoch felt his life rapidly slipping away. He couldn't hear what the Hand assassins in front of him were saying. His eyes dimmed, and many images began to flash through his mind.
His father's earnest teachings, his teacher's dedicated guidance, Virginia's smile, and a girl named Erica...
"Am I going to die...?"
"Karen's murder framing case hasn't been resolved yet, but I think Foggy can handle it alone..."
Until his last breath, Matt was still concerned about the unresolved matters of his law firm. His ideals, everything he had fought for, were about to come to an end at this moment. He seemed to be accepting it calmly, until a light suddenly appeared in his empty vision.
"Who?"
The three masked men suddenly turned around, speaking in Japanese.
When they saw the person's appearance clearly, their pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and their bodies trembled slightly.
The photos of the Silver Giant had already spread all over the world. As a supernatural organization, the Hand naturally paid special attention to such supernatural creatures, and what they were seeing now was a scaled-down version of the Silver Giant.
Although it did not have a massive body, its oppressive aura was in no way diminished. The three could feel the black magic, which had long since become one with flesh and blood, wailing as if warning them of the power of the unknown life form before them.
"No wonder Daredevil couldn't win; it smells of dark magic."
Ji Yuan, transformed into Nexus, "smelled" the same dark magic scent as the Ancient One. This was the power of the dark dimension, which explained why Daredevil couldn't defeat it.
In truth, he was just an ordinary person with extraordinary perception and top-notch fighting skills, while the dark magic flowing within these masked Hand men was something Daredevil could not withstand.
The three Hand thugs exchanged glances, their hearts hardening.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Several shuriken flew out like bullets, striking Ji Yuan precisely on the head.
"Ding-dong."
The shuriken seemed to have struck something hard, and it fell to the ground, shriveled and clanging.
"Bang—"
It must be said that these are indeed the Hand's elite. As they fired their shuriken, they threw smoke bombs on the ground, and the dark smoke made the night even more profound.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, three corpses lay peacefully on the ground.
Are you kidding me? Ji Yuan has already transformed, how could he let these humans escape? The difference between them is not even in the same league. With just a casual burst of Ultra Telekinesis, these superhumans in the eyes of ordinary people would be dead beyond any doubt.
Stepping over the three corpses, looking at Daredevil who was barely breathing and sensing his strong will to survive, Ji Yuan nodded. Not bad, very spirited.
"Pfft."
He pulled the katana straight out of his chest, blood spurting high into the air. Daredevil twitched in pain a few times, and then the penetrating wound in his chest slowly healed under a gentle light. Ji Yuan turned into a ball of light and disappeared from the spot.
Back in my room, I picked up a piece of still-warm grilled meat, put it in my mouth, and paired it with a sip of beer—it felt wonderful.
Ji Yuan looked through the window at Daredevil, whose breathing had stabilized.
"Which universe is this?"
It's not that he couldn't understand it even after several months; the universe is just too strange.
At first, Ji Yuan thought it was the MCU cinematic universe, but after observing Spider-Man Peter Parker, he dispelled his doubts. This Spider-Man in the universe is more like the Garfield version of Spider-Man, and he sensed a power that transcends multiple dimensions on Spider-Man, which should be the Spider Totem.
Later, he thought it was a fusion of the main universe of the comic book 616 and the MCU cinematic universe, but what happened today made Ji Yuan feel puzzled. No universe would let the main protagonist die so easily.
If I don't go and save Daredevil, he's definitely going to die today. And if he dies, what will happen to Hell's Kitchen, the Hand, Kingpin, and all those other storylines? Will a Daredevil from a parallel universe take over? What kind of bizarre hybrid universe is this?
Those Hand ninjas are no pushovers either; using that level of black magic against Daredevil is, frankly, a waste of their potential.
Ji Yuan had a slight headache; these kinds of unknown changes were the most troublesome. However, he calmed down after a moment. He remembered that whether it was the 616 comic book universe, the MCU cinematic universe, or some other fusion version of the Marvel universe, Iron Man's transformation was an important turning point, and the background story was largely the same. He figured that if he found an opportunity to get involved with Iron Man, he could see more clearly.
"Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."
Since we can't be sure, then we won't be sure. As a messenger of light, I can live as long as there is light, whether it's physical light or spiritual light, it's all the same. So what am I worried about? It's just a matter of whether I can win or not. At worst, I can show myself a few more times and make some progress in my evolution.
Live in the moment, enjoy life to the fullest, Ji Yuan ate meat and drank wine heartily.
While Ji Yuan was enjoying his meat, things were in complete chaos at S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Commander Fury, a high-energy reaction has been detected in Hell's Kitchen. Preliminary analysis suggests it is the Silver Giant."
S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians quickly pulled up a map of New York City, which had dozens of different colored markers, the most conspicuous of which was the red marker for Hell's Kitchen.
"Immediately dispatch more agents to infiltrate Hell's Kitchen, and while they're at it, gather information on all members who have entered or left Hell's Kitchen in the last six months, as well as any unusual events. Remember, be detailed!"
Fury decisively issued the order.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has too many enemies. It's crucial to figure out the true purpose of the so-called Silver Giant. Hopefully, he's not an enemy. Humanity's fate must be in our own hands.
"Commander Fury, General Ross is calling!"
Upon hearing the name Ross, Fury frowned deeply. He really didn't want to deal with these militarists, but after thinking it over, he still took the call.
"This is Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Oh, hello Commander Fury."
Ross first greeted them politely, then said:
"One of our lab's experimental subjects has gone missing, and we might need your help."
