Marvel: It Starts with a Spell

The mysterious king's sword slashed across his body, leaving a line of blood on Li Huang's chest.

"Puff——" Blood gushed out, and his head and part of his upper body slid off his body. A blue gem was embedded on Li Huang's broken heart.

"You want my body, right? Okay, I'll give it to you!" Li Huang was weak, with blood gushing from his mouth. In the gray soul space, Li Huang shook off the Holy Lord and fell into the gray space. At this moment, both his soul and body were experiencing tremendous pain. Although Li Huang's soul was not cut off from the chest directly like his body, it was also scarred and broken. The Holy Lord was the same, but his soul was stronger than Li Huang's, so these injuries were not too serious for him.

The energy of the sheep talisman hit Li Huang's soul, and a piece of soul debris flew up, which made his injuries even worse. The Holy Lord appeared behind Li Huang, and the dragon claws condensed by the power of soul slapped Li Huang fiercely.

"Since you can't cooperate, I can only get rid of you!"

Li Huang's soul looked at the dragon claws getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but feel that he was doomed.

At this moment, the two heard a voice coming from the bottom of their hearts.

"Teleportation!"

Li Huang and the Holy Lord were shocked when they heard the voice. How could a third person appear in this soul space?

The next moment, Li Huang disappeared under the Holy Lord's claws.

"Where did he go?" The devil Xiaolong looked at the broken heart in Li Huang's chest, confused and uncertain.

"I don't know, he seems to have escaped." Casillas was not very sure. After all, Li Huang had just dismembered himself. Then, with a flash of blue light, his upper body disappeared in front of everyone, leaving only a pool of blood and a broken corpse in front of them.

"Damn it, he got away." The Holy Lord's voice echoed in the devil dragon's heart.

"You are my offspring?"

"Yes, Dad, you asked me to come back to stop you before you died." The devil dragon responded to the Holy Lord in his heart.

"Me? Dead?" The Holy Lord's voice was filled with surprise.

"Yes, a demon from the dark dimension has invaded this world... We'll talk about this later. What should we do now? Your soul is still in this 'corpse'?"

"Yes, take this broken body away, I will be of great use..."

The folded space twisted, and a group of wizards disappeared here. The remaining corpses appeared out of thin air in the air after the space collapsed. A blood rain fell from the sky again, making the people below scream and dodge again. Many reporters swarmed in like flies smelling a stench, and the camera in Peter Parker's hand flashed repeatedly.

On the building, when Walon learned that Li Huang's room was shattered, his face was gloomy. He tightly grasped the cane in his hand and looked at the street corner where blood and flesh were flying.

Kamar-Taj, a half-blooded guy appeared in the courtyard, and then for some unknown reason, his flesh and blood grew rapidly, but was wiped out by the azure gem on his chest.

In the gray space, two men who looked extremely similar sat opposite each other. There were countless fragments and cracks on their bodies, like two decaying corpses.

"So, you are Li Huang, right?"

"Yes, I am the original owner of this body."

"Why are you still alive? Didn't I come to this world after you died?"

"Correction, it didn't say 'after I died', it just said 'after I was shot'."

"So you weren't dead?"

"What do you say?"

"Okay, why have you been hiding here?"

"If you don't have enough strength to be sure you can defeat the enemy, will you expose yourself?"

"will not."

"So that's what I mean." Li Huang smacked his lips.

"There's nothing I can do about it. After I came here, I learned that I needed 10 exchange points to activate the system. After that, I worked hard for many years and finally accumulated enough points. I didn't expect to be shot right after I activated the system. Not only did the system break, but my body was also taken over by you."

"Why didn't I discover all this after I gained your memory?" Li Huang asked doubtfully.

"Do you think memories can't be modified?" Li Huang grinned. "What you saw was just what I wanted you to see, just like you never knew that I was also a teleporter."

"What?" Li Huang looked surprised.

"Are you surprised?" Li Huang spread his hands.

"My name is Li Huang, your name is Li Huang, and his name is Li Huang too. Is there any difference in our appearance? In fact, if there is something that can take pictures of spirits, we can take a photo of twins or even triplets."

"After I was shot, my soul was protected by a part of the system fragments and hidden deep in your soul sea, in order to take back my body one day. But I gradually realized that your strength was constantly increasing, and I was just a remnant soul that was lingering on. Moreover, you recently repaired the system. After the remaining system fragments disappeared, it was even more difficult for me to hide. In fact, when you were about to devour the power of the sheep spell today, I was planning to take advantage of your fight with it and strangle you to death so as to regain control of my body. I didn't expect the Holy Lord to kill you halfway."

"Why did you save me in the end instead of taking the opportunity to take back the body?"

"First, do you think we can fight again now?"

The two looked at themselves, then at each other. The cracks on their bodies were gradually widening. Huge holes appeared above their souls. More and more scattered soul fragments were scattered on the ground. They seemed to be declining.

"It is gradually declining——"

Gu Yi shook his head. Li Huang's body in front of him gradually turned azure blue again, starting from the gem on his chest. However, this time, the azure blue body seemed to have turned into a gem, completely losing the touch and luster of flesh and blood.

"Is he going to leave like this, Master?" Jackie Chan frowned and asked worriedly.

"Yes, we can still slow down the decay of his body, but his soul is also on the road to decay. If we can't stop the decay of his soul, then no matter how strong his body is, it will only be a shell prepared for a wandering soul."

"But Master, you--" Jackie Chan still had some good feelings towards this guy who helped them deal with the Holy Lord.

"But I have the Eye of Agamotto, right? Jackie Chan, do you remember what I told you?" Gu Yi's expression was gentle, like a sage.

Jackie Chan hesitated for a moment: "Uh, uh, first of all, you can't just pry into the world casually; secondly -"

"Second, I suddenly remembered that this body doesn't seem to be mine. To put it bluntly, we are just aliens who have occupied the nest of others. Are you sure that the original owner of this body is not a teleporter? Also, have you ever thought that this system can even mistake you for me? Even though I am still alive, the system has already started to serve you, and at the same time, it is using system fragments to protect my soul. Putting all these things together, think about it, if the multiverse really exists, don't you think there is something wrong with us?"

The two men stared at each other's faces with tiny cracks on them, and couldn't help but sigh that the person in front of them looked so similar to their own.

"You mean, we are the multiverse's own self?"

"That's exactly what I mean. During your actions, I found that you seemed to know a lot about the world. For example, during your interactions with Steve, I found that you are not as simple as you seem. You seem to have insight into some things in this world?"

"Uh, in your world, isn't all this a movie?" Li Huang was a little dumbfounded.

"Of course not. In my world, there are no such things. Chinese mythology is prevalent in the world, and the whole world is willing to read those stories, such as "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Investiture of the Gods", and "Journey to the West". As for other countries, the cultural industry can be said to be dominated by us. I have seen a movie called "Mind Transporter", and at that time I even suspected that there was really an organization called Ranger that would come to hunt me down."

"Uh, actually, I came here because I was killed by the ranger--"

Li Huang's words made the "self" on the other side speechless. The whole space became quiet and silent, as silent as a pool of stagnant water.

In the silence, someone spoke up: "Could it be that we are all in the multiverse or parallel worlds? In some worlds, I live in China, in some worlds, you live in the United States, in some worlds, our other selves live in Europe, and in some worlds, we may not even be teleporters?"

-

"What—"

The bleating of sheep broke the silent atmosphere, and Li Huang raised his hand to stroke the invisible sheep.

“In fact, the energy of the sheep talisman is very gentle, but I deliberately led it to violent in secret.” Cracks began to appear on the corners of Li Huang’s upturned mouth.

"No wonder, every time I focus my mind on this, it becomes extremely docile. But whenever my mind is distracted, it will attack me." Li Huang also stretched out his shattered soul, which had only two fingers left, and gently stroked the sheep's back.

“You can say that today…it was you who…harmed me, and it was you who…saved me. If…if that’s the case, I still owe you a…a life.” Li Huang’s legs were turning to ashes, and an aura of decay emanated from him.

"No one... owes anyone anything..." The souls of the two gradually disintegrated.

"Supreme Sorcerer, he..." Jackie Chan had also sensed the aura of decay and death emanating from Li Huang. Li Huang's face turned a dark blue, and his body seemed to be gradually changing into a human-shaped gem, or in other words, a human-shaped coffin.

"Alas, he..."

Gu Yi's words were stuck in his throat, the azure light on Li Huang's body was suppressed, and a breath of new life came from Li Huang's body.

In the gray sea of ​​souls, gray flames ignited on the bodies of the two Li Huangs. The invisible fire burned on their bodies and on the soul fragments on the ground. The two flames merged and carried the souls of the two together.

Li Huang's gray soul was burned into invisible by the flames, and the painful roar echoed throughout the space.

"Roar!"

A dragon roared.

The shell of a dragon egg the size of a car was torn from the inside, and a pool of liquid with a strange smell spilled all over the ground. A man with green skin walked out of the eggshell. He was 50% similar to Li Huang, and 50% similar to the devil Xiaolong. He was like a lizard man version of Li Huang.

"The Holy Lord is back!"

This green-skinned man was none other than the Holy Lord. He used some kind of ritual magic to completely take over this body and constructed his new body.

"Father, why don't you use the dragon body but this body instead?"

The devil dragon was a little confused.

"This body contains powerful energy, which is more powerful than any power I have ever seen. I didn't expect Li Huang to possess such powerful energy. No wonder he is unwilling to be my subject."

The devil Xiaolong thought about how Li Huang defeated the eight demons who owned the demon kingdom in the future, and he had a deeper understanding in his heart.

"Okay, stop chatting. When can you help me resurrect my wife and children?" Casillas, who was standing not far away, looked unhappy.

"Don't be anxious, Casillas, we have to find Li Huang first and snatch the talisman." The Holy Lord said calmly.

"Stop joking, Holy Lord, are you sure we can catch him and snatch the talisman?" Casillas looked unfriendly. He suspected that these two people wanted to make him work in vain.

"Then I have another idea. Do you have the Panku Box?" The Holy Lord stretched his muscles and turned back to ask.

"Panku treasure box? What is that?" Casillas looked puzzled.

The Panku Box is a treasure in the original "Jackie Chan Adventures". It is the key to open the door to the devil's hell, or the door to hell.

The Box of Panku was forged by eight immortal gods. After they sealed the devil, they used it to lock the gates of hell.

In the original novel, the treasure box was later placed in a temple in Tibet. Thousands of years later, the Holy Lord who controlled Walon's body went to the temple, stole the treasure box, and opened seven gates of hell in the following days. However, in the end, the demons were subdued by Jackie Chan and others.

In this world, the Panku Box is not in a temple in Tibet, but was kept by Ancient One in Kamar-Taj. It is very difficult to obtain it, let alone open the Gate of Hell.

"What is that?" Casillas looked puzzled.

"That is a divine weapon. It can open the door connecting the human world and hell."

"How will this help me in helping to resurrect my wife and children??"

"When I release those demons, you will be able to see the artifact that suppresses us - the Book of History. It is an omnipotent artifact. Then I will resurrect your wife and children for you."

There are history books filled with years in hell? This is of course a lie made up by the Holy Lord, whose purpose is to trick Casillas into joining him in fighting against Li Huang and other enemies.

"A history book of years? What is that?"

"The Book of Time is a magical artifact. You can think of it as a magical object that brings truth to your words. Basically, whatever you write in it will come true. It can tamper with history and change everyone's cognition. No matter who you are, how strong you are, or where you are, as long as the Book of Time is rewritten, history will change.

Resurrecting your wife and children is a simple matter..."

……

In the grayness, Li Huang's soul, which was burning with a soul fire, had transformed from gray to an invisible soul.

As if it had been refined, his soul body looked even more solid than before. At this moment, he held a ball of spell energy in his hand.
