The era of American comics begins

Chapter 524
The sky is bright red, and the earth is like a huge rock that has been burned red.The sultry cyclone seemed to be lingering, and even the air circulating in the space seemed scorching hot.

Michael and Wanda stood on a fiery red rock, looking as far as the eye could see, there was desolation everywhere.The scorching demon rules everything here, and it seems that no living thing can survive here.

"Again, what is this place?" Wanda asked.

"Muspelheim is called the Land of Fire by the Asgardians," Michael said.

"Why do they like to use such complicated and hard-to-remember names for places?" Wanda pouted.

At this moment, they had already visited three of the nine countries, but in a blink of an eye she completely forgot those weird place names.And you can't expect to find "Nine Kingdoms Travel Guide" or the like on Amazon.

The environmental differences among the nine countries are also somewhat exaggerated.It was still ice and snow in Jotunheim just now, but it suddenly turned into a sea of ​​flames as soon as we got to the next door.If it weren't for the magical body protection, ordinary people would really not be able to withstand such extreme changes.

But even with the protection of Chaos magic, Wanda still doesn't like this place.The atmosphere here is really weird. I haven't even seen a ghost after walking for a long time. There are red-hot bare rocks everywhere, and the atmosphere is really uncomfortable.

"The Land of Fire is the territory of the demon Surtur." Michael explained, "Surtur is the demon in charge of flames. He has the power to rank at the apex of the Nine Realms and is one of the most powerful demons."

The demon in charge of flames, Wanda, suddenly remembered something.

"Ah." She asked, "Is it that very tall flame monster with horns on its head?"

"Yes, the guy who is allied with the big snake and the goddess of death." Michael nodded, "We fought against each other."

Wanda nodded, expressing understanding.It turned out to be that guy, let me tell you earlier, it seems that "Apex of the Nine Realms" is not particularly powerful?
Anyway, she felt like that was the case.

"Surtur is also one of Asgard's greatest enemies." Michael continued, "More importantly, his appearance is the beginning of the prophecy of 'Ragnarok', compared to his own powerful prophecy It means even more to the Asgardians, so Odin is extremely afraid of this enemy."

"'Ragnarok'." Wanda tried to search for the word in his limited knowledge of Nordic mythology. "I seem to have a little impression. Does it mean that all gods will fall?"

Michael nodded: "Odin and I seemed to mention that it was a curse, a reincarnation. I didn't quite understand what that meant, but I thought maybe 'Ragnarok' wasn't the only one. Anyway, Odin The old man is terrified of this prophecy."

"Why? Isn't he the most powerful god in the Nine Realms?"

"I don't know." Michael shrugged, "Maybe there is something more powerful that makes him feel powerless to resist."

Wanda fell silent.The two stood on the high rock for a while, and then began to turn back along the original road they had come up.

"You know? I always feel unreal." Wanda said suddenly.

"Not real? How to say?"

Wanda turned her head and looked at Michael seriously with her brown eyes.

"Because you are with me, just like this, doing nothing, just strolling around leisurely, I always feel...as if it's not you." She tilted her head and thought for a while, "How should I put it? Because I always feel as if only You are the real one who has been busy, I can’t seem to imagine what it would be like to live normally without saving the world or stopping the invasion.”

Michael pondered for a while.

He seems to have forgotten the meaning of this word in ordinary life.He'd never thought about it in that direction, but there seemed to be a constant stream of things he needed to do—and often only he could do.

Because if he doesn't do many things, no one will do them.

He patted Wanda on the shoulder.

"This is what I am 'ordinary', Wanda," he said. "I didn't save the world, I didn't stop the invasion, I just stayed with you and lived my own life, that's all."

Wanda smiled, and she nodded vigorously: "Yeah."

***
Michael lied.

He didn't come here simply to accompany Wanda to enjoy life—at least not to devote himself wholeheartedly.

He's here with one other thing to do.

In the depths of Muspelheim, within the barrier sealed by Odin.

Demon Surtur slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to be burning.

"Who?" He asked heavily in a turbid voice.

Lie Yan seemed to jump up in response to his question, and the flames illuminated the entire space.The pitch-black armor appeared in front of the devil's eyes, with jumping flames reflected on the armor shell, and a cold light projected from the V-shaped eyepiece.

The shape of Aiken.Michael left a doppelganger to walk with Wanda instead of himself, and he himself came to the seal of the village of fire to face the demon that could not be completely solved last time.

"It's you." Surtur narrowed his eyes, "Human magician, I remember you. What made you risk your life to break into my territory?"

"Last time I had three powerful enemies to fight, and I was rushing to save Thor, so I left you with this residual problem." Michael looked directly at the tall demon and said calmly, "This time, I'm here Solve the rest of the problem."

Surtur roared violently like a demonstration, and the surrounding flames seemed to instantly turn into pillars and rise from the ground, and scorching air waves swept across the entire space like crazy.

"You? Want to get rid of me? In my territory?" The demon felt slighted and yelled angrily, "I want you to go back and forth and go to hell to regret your ignorance!"

"Your territory? I only saw a cage, and you are just a sad prisoner in the cage."

"Roar!"

As if representing the rage of the devil to its peak, a huge fireball spurted out from Surtur's mouth, drawing a scorching trajectory and swooping down.Michael had been prepared for a long time, raised his hand lightly, and the magic circle in his palm disappeared in a flash.The moment the fireball hit the magic circle, it split into five parts, scattered in five directions, and exploded.

"You will pay the price for your frivolity, human being." Surtur said coldly, "You don't understand what kind of existence you have provoked. I want you to never forget this horror even in hell."

Well, actually Hell Michael has been there, more than once.I'm afraid that those in charge over there will not dare to take him in.

"To be honest, I'm still in a hurry here." Michael said lightly, flipped his palm, and pulled out the black giant sword from the magic circle, "So let's solve it as quickly as possible."
