Chapter 356: A Brain-Dead Move
🕑 Added 2025-09-01 02:45:54 +0000 UTCCrossing through the portal, Noah returned to the Helicarrier.
The Helicarrier was relatively quiet at this time, probably because they knew the people their director invited were quite special, so they specifically gave these individuals a special conference room.
In this conference room, Wong, Constantine, Charles, and Erik sat together. Clearly, they were more familiar with each other, and compared to the others, they could be considered similar.
On the other side, Thor and Loki sat quietly together, though Loki's expression was a bit strange, especially when he saw Noah enter, which made Noah himself a bit confused.
As for Dr. Banner and Captain America Steve, they were mixed together.
It could be said that in this conference room, the most ordinary were probably only these two. The others were either wizards, exorcists, or mutant wizards, or simply 'gods' from Asgard.
Although this so-called god seemed a bit weak, that was only relative. At least Steve didn't think he could easily deal with Loki.
And Banner?
If he didn't transform into the Hulk to face Loki, he'd probably be taken down by Loki in the blink of an eye,
right?
Hmm, if he transformed, Loki would probably be smashed like a cudgel.
"It seems that after my messing around, the famous scene of Loki being smashed around is gone?"
Not just Loki, but probably even Thor being smashed around by the Hulk is gone.
But those are future events, thinking about them now is
meaningless.
Of course, if this scene still appears, Noah will immediately take out his phone and record it, to commemorate his youth.
"You're back?" Constantine had already noticed Noah, so he asked unceremoniously: "How are things? Those guys must have been scrambling to agree, right?"
"Pretty much." Noah wasn't surprised that Constantine guessed this. To be fair, Constantine had dealt with far more things than Noah.
Sitting down, ignoring the gazes around him, Noah said directly: "All the Ministers of Magic have agreed, but the most powerful magical communities truly account for the largest share. All in all, we don't need to worry about not having enough help."
As soon as Noah finished speaking, Steve and Banner looked at Noah with some astonishment.
They really hadn't expected Noah to find helpers so quickly, and listening to his tone, it seemed these helpers were scrambling to help?
From the looks of it, the number of people would definitely not be small!
Actually, they didn't know what Noah was thinking, because Noah felt that with the ten Sorcerer Supremes from Kamar-Taj plus his own Ark team, it was already completely sufficient.
Noah didn't really take the Chitauri seriously. If so many high-level wizards couldn't deal with them, perhaps these high-level wizards should just collectively commit suicide!
But Noah wouldn't say such things. As a stable man, Noah never thought there was anything wrong with calling for backup.
It's like playing a game. I can indeed solo kill you in a one-on-one, but why bother?
Just surround you safely with five people; it's not only easy and pleasant but also prevents any unexpected situations such as reinforcements arriving. Perhaps they would only be happy then, because that would be a continuous stream of targets.
"Looks like this will be pretty easy, then." Charles also smiled: "Your reputation is really useful, Noah."
"Indeed." Noah smiled: "And it's not just wizards from the magical world, Kamar-Taj will also be sending people."
"Oh?" Noah's words immediately made Thor and Loki show serious expressions.
Charles and the others weren't too surprised. After a moment of thought, Charles asked: "How many people does your teacher probably plan to send? If it's a lot, perhaps the wizards from the magical world won't even be needed."
"They truly won't be needed, but this is a demonstration from the Earth's magical community, so..." Noah then said: "Kamar-Taj will send ten wizards this time, not including me."
"Ten?"
Noah's answer made them look at each other. Ten was not a small number, but a very small number!
Even considering the quality of Kamar-Taj wizards, it seemed a bit few, but then thinking about it being a worldwide magical community operation, they felt it was about right, at least Noah was there.
"Who's coming?" Wong asked curiously. He was still very concerned about Kamar-Taj matters: "Are they the students? It seems we'll have to take care of them this time."
"Take care of them?" Noah chuckled: "Those ten can take care of all the participating wizards, please."
"What?"
Wong was stunned, and everyone else was too, even Steve and Banner, who were somewhat confused.
Ten people taking care of all participating wizards?
Are you serious?
While wizards might seem powerful and mystical, for ten people to take care of thousands or even more participating wizards seemed impossible.
"Who's leading the team?" Wong thought for a moment, then asked seriously: "Or rather, who are these ten people?"
"Mordo is leading the team." Noah smiled a bit triumphantly: "And these ten are all old acquaintances of ours, and they are all Sorcerer Supremes."
"Ten Sorcerer Supremes?"
This time, Wong and the others were all dumbfounded!
What is a Sorcerer Supreme?
You know, among the several hundred high-level wizards on Earth, there aren't many who have passed the rank of Sorcerer Supreme!
It can be said that a high-level wizard isn't necessarily a Sorcerer Supreme, but a Sorcerer Supreme is definitely a high-level wizard!
In the magical world across the globe, including those hidden magical organizations, there are only a handful of Sorcerer Supremes.
It can be said that Kamar-Taj is the place with the most Sorcerer Supremes in the world, and sending out ten Sorcerer Supremes at once is almost Kamar-Taj's limit!
Moreover, these Sorcerer Supremes are arguably the most excellent wizards, perfect in terms of knowledge,
practical ability, and temperament.
With these Sorcerer Supremes participating, it's probably true, as Noah said, that they can completely protect all participating wizards!
Steve, Banner, and the Thor brothers didn't understand what a Sorcerer Supreme was, but after some questioning, they were also stunned.
Loki was even more so. He never dreamed that there were so many terrifying beings on Earth. He originally thought that the few people in front of him were the most terrifying, and he didn't need to be afraid of anyone else except the Sorcerer Supreme, who was like his father.
But now he realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.
These guys in front of him were indeed terrifying, but there were so many others just as terrifying, and Kamar-Taj even dispatched several terrifying wizards in addition to them at once. This made Loki suddenly feel a sense of collapse.
Is this Earth?
Is this really not a high-level magical civilization?
This damned Earth is too terrifying, isn't it?
What the hell was wrong with my brain, to come to
Earth and cause trouble so brazenly?
"Alright everyone, my preliminary preparations are almost complete. The rest will have to wait for Fury and Tony."
Noah looked at the stunned and dazed crowd, chuckled, and then interrupted their thoughts: "By the way, Loki, how are your preparations coming along?"
"Huh?"
Loki didn't come back to his senses immediately. His mind was full of his previous idiotic actions, but he couldn't figure out how he could have become like that.
When Thor shook him hard, he finally came back to his senses and looked at Noah with a bewildered expression:
"What's wrong?"
"..."
Noah rubbed his brow helplessly, and finally had to ask his question again. This time Loki heard it clearly, which made him roll his eyes.
"Don't worry, since I'm willing to tell you the whereabouts of cosmic magic, then of course I'll cooperate fully." Loki said with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"And according to my previous plan, their S.H.I.E.L.D.
agents will be here soon."
Noah nodded, Loki was right about that.
In the original story, Loki first used language to provoke
the Avengers members one by one, and combined with the effect of his scepter, he allowed their inner darkness to play its greatest role. When their conflicts escalated,
that was Loki's time to escape.
This time, under Noah's interference, Loki was directly bewildered. Not only did Noah use Loki's own methods to break his psychological defense, but he also found the reason why Loki became abnormally irritable.
Although the recovered Loki was still extremely arrogant, he at least had self-knowledge when facing wizards he couldn't deal with.
"Very good." Noah nodded, then suddenly asked somewhat inexplicably: "Seriously, haven't you noticed anything unusual about your scepter?"
"Unusual?" Loki looked at Noah with a strange expression: "If you're talking about controlling others, it doesn't seem that strange, does it? Can't you do that?"
"Of course we can." Noah nodded honestly: "But magic that controls the will of others is forbidden magic here.
You'll receive a wanted notice and warning from the Ministry of Magic, and in severe cases, you might even be thrown into prison."
"Hmph, the law of the jungle is a rule. Powerful people protecting weaker people is simply idiotic..."
Loki completely disdained what Noah said, but when he noticed Noah's somewhat dangerous gaze, he immediately shut up: "Uh, sorry."
"Hmph, that's why you're not suited to be a king, because you don't have Thor's inclusive heart."
Noah relentlessly criticized Loki. Seeing Loki's darkened face, Noah continued: "Magic that controls others isn't rare, but magic that can even control oneself is
uncommon."
"What?" Loki didn't pay attention at first, but soon Loki felt that something was wrong.
Controlling himself? Noah's words pierced Loki's heart like a thorn, leaving him stunned for a long time.
But just as Loki was about to ask, the door of the conference room opened, and two people walked straight in.
"Yo? You're back. How are things?"
"Is this kind of thing complicated? With me, Tony Stark, on the case, it's naturally easily handled!"
