Marvel: It Starts with a Spell

Time goes back half a minute, hell.

In a huge palace built of huge stones, Zhu Lan was breathing the air filled with the smell of sulfur, immersed in the study of demonic spells. Dark purple energy lingered around him. A group of pale demons in the palace were trembling like sieves under Zhu Lan's pressure.

"Hmm?" Zhu Lan felt a familiar yet unfamiliar wave, right in his territory.

"The Gate of Summoning?"

Dark purple energy fluctuated, and Zhu Lan flew out of the hall and flew towards the fluctuation.

Li Huang stared at the Curse Blue in front of him without making a sound. He secretly circulated his energy, preparing to smash the summoning gate directly before the Curse Blue completely crawled out to prevent the Curse Blue from crawling out of hell.

After all, after being imprisoned in hell for endless years, this guy still has powerful magic that can transform the entire moon. Li Huang doesn't want to confront this guy directly.

Zhu Lan stopped looking outward and stared at Li Huang curiously: "Human...how come you smell like the Holy Lord?"

He smelled the scent of his brother on this human, the scent of his despicable and selfish brother, the Holy Lord.

What answered Zhu Lan was a blue streak of light, which carried a dangerous aura and seemed to be able to tear through space.

The cursed blue diamond returned to the summoning gate, and the summoning gate immediately disappeared. A blue light streak passed through the jungle, breaking entire large trees in half.

“Boom…Bang…”

Startling flocks of birds, Li Huang heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the summoning gate in the air had disappeared. He then disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a devastated jungle.

In the dim hell, with countless floating rubble and floating islands of various sizes, a blue-black demon with wings on its back is flying rapidly towards the Zhulan Palace.

"Zhu Lan, what's going on? I smell the scent of the Holy Lord in your territory."

A dark purple energy exploded under Ximu's feet: "Ximu, be careful about the way you talk to your brother."

"Okay, big brother, may I ask why I smell the scent of that traitor in your territory?" Ximu said submissively.

"Ximu, do you remember how we sent the Holy Lord away?" Zhu Lan floated out of the hall with his hands behind his back, and Ximu followed him with flapping wings.

"Of course I remember, I used that human idiot to open the gate of hell." Ximu scratched his head: "Why are you asking this?"

"Didn't you smell the scent of the Holy Lord? Similar to his experience, a human opened my Moon Summoning Gate. I didn't expect that thing could also connect hell and the human world. Unfortunately, the quality of the gate is too poor and it can't accommodate us at all. But I have a hunch that in the near future, we will be able to leave this disgusting hell and return to the human world to build our empire!"

In the dim hell, two demons stood in the air, overlooking the seven giant floating islands below them and countless demons of various kinds.

If Li Huang were here, he would definitely call the producer of "Jackie Chan Adventures" a liar. There is clearly a kingdom of hell in this dim hell!

But now Li Huang has returned to New York and is wondering why the Moon Demon appeared in the Summoning Gate.

"Gate of Summoning: Summons endless demons from hell. They are brave and good at fighting, fearless and cruel, and will pour out continuously until the gate of summoning can no longer support it... Could it be that because Zhulan is in hell now, this gate of summoning will summon Zhulan out? And the reason why he can't come out of this gate of summoning is because it can't support his passage?"

Li Huang came to this conclusion after careful consideration, and then made up his mind: "No matter what, I will try to use the weird magic in these books as little as possible in the future to prevent these guys from showing up in advance."

While I was thinking, Valon rushed into the office excitedly, and he looked like he wanted to dance here.

"What's going on, Valon? Did you pick up gold bars on the road?" Li Huang teased.

Unexpectedly, Valon turned around and said, "Do you remember that you asked me to buy Stark Industries stocks a few days ago?"

Li Huang understood. This guy must have bought Stark Industries shares at a low price after the news of Tony's disappearance spread. No wonder he was so happy.

"I thought it was something else, but it turns out you bought the stocks..."

"Of course it's not just because of this. The most important thing is that I just bought the shares yesterday, and Stark was found today. The stock price has been rising all the way! You are really a prophet... and..."

Li Huang did not hear clearly what Valon said next. His previous sentence, "Stark was found today," made Li Huang frown deeply.

"Has that Stark been found?" Li Huang interrupted Valon.

"Tony Stark, who else could it be? Are you okay, Li Huang?" Valon was a little stunned. This guy was so smart, how could he ask such a stupid question?

"Are you sure?"

Wa Long was speechless after hearing Li Huang's question: "He is holding a press conference, why don't you take a look?"

Valon turned on the TV for Li Huang, and Li Huang saw Tony, who looked very weathered. Although he was wearing bright and fancy clothes, the wounds on his face and the plaster on his arm showed that this guy had not had a good life in the past two days and must have been through a lot.

But the problem is, only a few days have passed. Could it be that Tony invented Mark I in less than a week?

You know, in the movie he was held captive by terrorists for a whole month. Li Huang appeared at the press conference, the snake spell was activated, and Li Huang's figure disappeared into the air.

"Thank you, everyone. I have just answered all your questions. Now, due to my health, I need to take a break for a while. During this time, my position will be taken over by Mr. Obadiah Stani. Thank you all for coming. I want to take a break now. That's it..."

Li Huang was listening to Tony's speech on the spot, his expression becoming more and more strange. In the original book, Tony, after returning to the United States, disbanded the weapons manufacturing department of Stark Industries on the spot; but today, Tony did not mention the weapons manufacturing department at all, but instead let the traitor Obadiah Stane take over his position. He really couldn't understand this world.

"Let's go ask Tony what's going on." Li Huang decided secretly.

As the press conference ended with Obadiah Stane's passionate speech, Li Huang quietly followed Tony's car; when Tony entered the house and had his private doctor give him a simple physical examination and prepare to rest, Li Huang took advantage of Tony being alone in a room and appeared.

Li Huang said: "Hey, Tony..."

"Oh oh oh... Who are you? I'm telling you, sir, you are trespassing... Get out quickly, or I will..." Tony's face changed drastically and asked Li Huang to leave his house.

"Tony, what are you doing..." Li Huang was halfway through his words when Tony pressed a button, and suddenly the alarms in the entire villa rang out; Li Huang looked at Tony in confusion, and their eyes met. Tony looked at Li Huang with a wary look on his face.

Li Huang saw that Tony's eyes were full of strangeness and vigilance, so he left without staying for too long, which made the other party feel relieved.

Li Huang sat on the rooftop of the Empire State Building, not understanding what had happened to Tony. He seemed to have really forgotten himself.

"Why does it feel like he has lost his memory or been brainwashed, or has some mental problem?"

There were so many strange things happening today, such as summoning a demon and Tony losing his memory. I don’t know what strange things will happen next.

"Hello? Is that you, my friend? We fought against the Green Goblin together that day." A figure in red appeared beside Li Huang. It was his good neighbor Spider-Man.

"Hello, Spider-Man, I didn't know you like to come here too." I really didn't expect that the other party would also come here to enjoy the evening breeze.

"Haha, I really didn't like it before, but it's different now, my friend, you look like something is on your mind?" the good neighbor said considerately.

Li Huang was indeed worried. The recent events had left him confused, from the disruption of the plot of "Jackie Chan Adventures" to his and Tony's encounter with the Green Goblin and his acquaintance with Spider-Man; to now that he had encountered Blue Curse ahead of time, and Tony didn't know what had happened, making him increasingly confused about the direction of the plot.

Before he went back to the past, although the plots were slightly different from the original, he was still able to grasp the direction of the plot and gain benefits from it. But now, he is like a traveler in the fog, unable to see the road in the distance, which makes Li Huang a little uneasy.

But he shook his head: "Nothing."

"Okay, I'm not very good at comforting people. However, I suggest you go to the science experiment exhibition. There will be a science experiment exhibition of Dr. Otto in a few days. It is said that Dr. Otto is going to develop a new type of energy. I happen to have an extra ticket."

"No wonder this guy couldn't find a girlfriend in the early days. He doesn't know how to comfort people, nor does he let people go to science exhibitions." Li Huang complained.

But he didn't remember that Spider-Man was not in a very good mood. He was in an emotional crisis. Because of his identity as Spider-Man, he didn't dare to accept Mary Jane's feelings, fearing that his enemies would hurt her.

"I'll go and see it when I have time... Thank you." Li Huang took an admission ticket that Spider-Man took out from somewhere.

"It's okay, this is an extra one. I'll go back first. Bye, remember to relax." The little spider has already swung on the spider silk and left the Empire State Building.

"Dr. Otto, I'd like to make the acquaintance of him..." Li Huang looked at the ticket in his hand. He wanted to make the acquaintance of Dr. Otto rather than have any other purpose.

……

"Sir? Could you please show me your ticket, sir?"

"Oh, sorry, I was distracted." Li Huang took out the admission ticket from his pocket.

Facing the guard's slightly strange look, Li Huang smiled awkwardly and entered the science exhibition.

The reason why Li Huang was distracted just now was because he saw someone who shouldn't be here - Norman Osborn.

"There is definitely something wrong with the timeline of this world!" Li Huang thought.

Looking at Peter Parker nearby who looked 99.9% similar to Tobey Maguire, and then looking at the two villains who appeared in the two movies standing together, Li Huang could only say that there might be something seriously wrong with the timeline of this world.

"Maybe it's the butterfly effect?"

"Please come over here, our science exhibition is about to begin. Let's listen to what Dr. Otto has to say first." Norman Osborn said, holding the microphone with a very friendly smile on his face.

Otto walked in front of the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my love and I welcome you all, but first I want to ask, who lost a bundle of banknotes tied with a rubber band?

All we found was rubber bands.”

There was a burst of awkward laughter at the scene. Dr. Otto's joke was quite cold.

Dr. Otto obviously realized that everyone was just smiling in good faith, and continued, "Just kidding, let's get back to the topic.

First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming, and Mr. Norman Osborn for your financial support. Of course, I will repay you and the society with my research results.

Today, you will witness the birth of a new type of energy, one that is safe, sustainable, and provides affordable energy to everyone.

Next, I would like to introduce you to my assistant.”

Dr. Otto tore off the cloth behind him and threw it aside. Under the cloth were four metal tentacles reflecting cold light.

"These four metal arms," ​​Dr. Otto said, taking off his shirt. "They are designed to handle nuclear fusion. They can withstand high temperatures and magnetic forces."

As he attached the mechanical exoskeleton to his spine, dozens of steel needles pierced into Dr. Otto's body, causing many people present to twist their faces and feel a slight uproar.

As Dr. Otto manipulated the machine, several mechanical tentacles slowly began to move. Now he really looked like an octopus.

"My brain controls these artificially intelligent tentacles through neural connections, and the nerve lines directly transmit instructions.

It allows me to control nuclear fusion reactions with a robotic arm in an extremely dangerous environment."

A lady in the audience interjected, "Doctor, these arms of yours have extremely high artificial intelligence. Won't they backfire on you?"

Otto smiled, as if waiting for someone to ask this question: "Good question, so I developed a suppression chip to protect my brain functions and let me control them instead of being controlled by them."

Dr. Otto turned around and let everyone see the chip. Li Huang knew that in the original book, this thing was damaged by the unstable artificial sun, which caused the mechanical arm to affect Dr. Otto and turned him into the super villain Dr. Octopus.

Li Huang was thinking about how to ensure the safety of Dr. Otto's mind. Dr. Otto had asked his assistant to start working, but something seemed to have gone wrong.

"Turn on the blue light. Oh no, if I were you, I wouldn't do that..."

In a cave somewhere in Afghanistan.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that..."

It was dark, narrow and cramped, with a few dim lights illuminating the dirty cave.

Tony struggled to open his eyes and pulled out the tube in his nasal cavity in pain.

At this moment, he only felt an immense pain in his chest, and it seemed as if something was pressing on it, and it was connected to the car battery next to him. He just wanted to disconnect the wire connecting the car battery to his chest...
