Marvel Infinity Talent - Chapter 219
Wang Yan returned to Earth. Although his encounter with Oblivion was unexpected, he didn’t dwell on it.
After confirming that the Skrulls were no longer on Earth, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Life could return to normal.
Tony Stark and others wanted to thank him, but he returned to Kamar-Taj after handling everything.
He saw these events in a message sent by Tony Stark.
Wang Yan closed his phone again and continued studying the Book of the Vishanti.
After facing Oblivion, he realized his strength was still insufficient and needed significant improvement.
Unfortunately, many things in the Book of the Vishanti were unclear to him and required more resources.
While studying a spell, he found information about witches in the library.
Earth might be a young planet to beings like the Celestials or the Eternals.
But this planet had countless legends and a long history.
And it had many myths.
Sorcerers and witches.
Kamar-Taj had become powerful, with thousands of members, but it was nothing compared to the witches of old.
Historically, the witch community was very prominent.
In the Middle Ages, witches could even control a country.
However, with the rise of technology, the Church initiated witch hunts.
This caused the witch community to decline.
Reading this information, Wang Yan thought of Agatha in Westview. Agatha wanted to seize Wanda’s chaos magic.
But without the events involving Thanos, Vision was still around, so Agatha likely wouldn’t act hastily.
Moreover, the Avengers were more potent than in the movies, with the original trio still around and even more powerful.
“Are you researching witches?”
At this moment, Wong sat down.
“Wong, where did you come from?”
Wang Yan wanted to respond but was curious seeing Wong in heavy clothing.
“It’s Strange. He’s looking after the New York Sanctum and made it snow everywhere!”
Wang Yan suddenly remembered something. “Did Spider-Man come by when you were there?”
“How did you know, Master Wang? You’re becoming more impressive!”
Wong was amazed. He hadn’t mentioned it, yet Wang Yan knew. Could he predict the future?
“Is Strange trying to cast a memory spell for Spider-Man? You should remind them to discuss the terms clearly before casting!”
Wang Yan advised.
“You even know that!”
Wong was even more shocked, looking at Wang Yan in disbelief.
“Master Wang, you should go. Otherwise, the multiverse might open up!”
Wang Yan said with a wry smile. They would be busy then!
“Alright, I’ll be right back!”
Wong didn’t think it would be so severe but didn’t waste time and left immediately.
Strange was helping Spider-Man with a spell in the New York Sanctum’s chamber.
Wong quickly interrupted them.
“Wong, what brings you here?”
Strange had magic energy gathered in his hand, and Spider-Man looked helpless.
“You’re not here to stop me, are you?”
“I know this spell is dangerous, but I’ve done it before, so there’s no risk. Trust me!”
Strange assured, there would be no problems.
“I trust you, and so does Master Wang!”
Wong said directly.
“Master Wang knows too?”
Strange was surprised. He had been trying to catch up with Wang Yan, hoping to follow in his footsteps!
But he never caught up.
He didn’t expect Master Wang to know about this.
“Although we trust you, you should discuss the terms clearly before casting. Don’t change conditions mid-spell!”
Wong reminded them.
Strange and Spider-Man exchanged glances, realizing they hadn’t thought of that.
“Can this spell have conditions?”
Spider-Man asked curiously.
Strange nodded. “Of course!”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Spider-Man complained. “I need to think about the conditions then!”
“You didn’t ask!”
Strange shrugged. He hadn’t experienced many battles, with Wang Yan usually taking the lead, so he hadn’t undergone many trials.
He hadn’t thought much about the spell’s casting, believing he could handle it.
The two sat down to discuss who should remember and who should forget.
“If it weren’t for Mysterio exposing me and framing me for murder, I wouldn’t be in this mess!”
Spider-Man complained.
“Don’t worry. I can make them forget you!”
Strange said with a smile.
“Can’t you make them forget Mysterio?”
Spider-Man wondered.
“That’s possible too!”
Strange nodded.
“Then forget Mysterio!”
Spider-Man said excitedly.
Wong didn’t bother with their discussion and returned to Kamar-Taj.
As expected, Wang Yan was still in the library.
“How did it go?”
Wang Yan didn’t need to look to know Wong had returned.
“They’re discussing the terms now. Master Wang, how did you know?”
Wong asked curiously, sitting across from Wang Yan.
Wang Yan looked up at Wong and said, “Master Wong, you know I follow the Sorcerer Supreme. She entrusted the Eye of Agamotto to me, so I glimpsed the future and saw the possibility!”
“I see!”
Wong nodded, knowing the Eye of Agamotto had such uses.
“Master Wang, are you interested in witches?”
Wong glanced at the magic book beside Wang Yan.
Wang Yan nodded. “A bit. It mentions a book of dark magic?”
Wang Yan had read about the Book of the Vishanti for white magic and a dark magic book for black magic.
“The Darkhold is the book of the ancient god Chthon, containing all his knowledge. Anyone can gain vast knowledge from it!”
“But it also contains powerful corrupting forces, Chthon’s power!”
“No one knows where the Darkhold is, not even us.”
Wong shook his head. They knew some things but needed to understand the specifics.
Kamar-Taj, which protected Earth, naturally knew about potential threats.
If they knew its location, they would have retrieved it long ago.
“I think I know where it is!”
Wang Yan recalled that Agatha had the Darkhold.
“You know?”
Wong looked at Wang Yan in surprise.
“In Westview…”
In Westview, Agatha, one of the surviving witches, believed she could become the greatest sorcerer.
She also coveted Wanda’s powerful chaos magic. If she could absorb it, she would significantly boost her power.
So she moved next door to Wanda, waiting for an opportunity.
If Vision weren’t around, she might have succeeded.
Agatha was in her basement, studying the Darkhold.
Recently, she felt something strange, like someone was watching her read the Darkhold.
A dark world appeared behind her, with a figure observing her.
The figure sat on a throne made of bones, watching Agatha.
This world had countless dimensions.
A realm of bones and blood could only be Hell.
The ruler of this dimension was the demon lord Mephisto.
He was a powerful demon with immense strength.
As a dimensional ruler, he had a unique hobby: setting traps and dealing with humans for their souls.
One of his most famous deals was with the Ghost Rider.
Mephisto had made a deal with him, binding him to a spirit of vengeance and transforming him into the Ghost Rider.
This was just a casual act for Mephisto.
Creating a powerful superhero on a whim showed Mephisto’s strength as a hell lord.
Mephisto watched Agatha, his dark power infusing her.
Agatha became bloodthirsty and violent, amplifying her desires.
What did Agatha want? To steal Wanda’s chaos magic.
With bloodshot eyes, she left the basement.
As Agatha left, the Darkhold appeared before Mephisto.
Despite his immense power as a dimensional ruler, leaving his realm weakened him.
He rarely left his realm but discovered the Darkhold while observing Earth.
It contained vast knowledge.
Though most could only grasp fragments, anyone could gain immense knowledge from it. Even Agatha had seen little.
Only he could see it all.
If he had found the Darkhold earlier, he would have seized it.
Now wasn’t too late.
Mephisto smiled at the Darkhold.
