Chapter 1066: United Front

For s.h.i.+ELD, it was clearly impossible to be hostile toward the Sorcerers. However, it was still feasible to withhold any further a.s.sistance from the Sorcerers. After all, their alliance was solely with Mirage Knight.

Although the Earth Sorcerers possessed formidable power, it was evident that they were not on the same side as s.h.i.+ELD, as seen from their treatment of Mirage Knight.

“Well, no matter what kind of threat that Evil Ent.i.ty Mirage Knight mentioned will pose to Earth, we will leave it to those Sorcerers in the Himalayas to resolve. We won’t interfere anymore,” Tony replied, setting a new att.i.tude towards their relations.h.i.+p with the Earth Sorcerers after hearing Rogers’ response.

It wasn’t that Tony was unconcerned or indifferent to the impending danger Earth would face; rather, it was because the actions of the Earth Sorcerers had made it impossible for him to trust them.

Furthermore, until Lin Rui informed Tony about the existence of this mysterious group of guardian sorcerers on Earth, they had no knowledge of their existence.

In fact, Tony had always held a grudge against the Earth Sorcerers ever since learning of their existence. If the Earth sorcerers were so powerful, why didn’t they act when Earth faced numerous dangers?

Tony’s first encounter with the sorcerers was during Venom’s battle against otherworldly invaders, and he hadn’t had a chance to get a deeper understanding of them since then.

In subsequent events, thanks to Lin Rui’s connection, Rick and David, the sorcerers from the New York Sanctum, had provided a.s.sistance. Moreover, Tony had even caused trouble for them in the past in order to gather specific patterns of magic.

The most recent instance was during the Dark Elves’ invasion of Earth, where the sorcerers, along with the Earth’s defenders and Asgard’s support, resisted the invasion. However, if they had truly given their all, the invasion might not have caused much harm.

This time, Lin Rui and Tony informed them that Earth would face a great crisis, with an evil ent.i.ty from another dimensional world coming to Earth, and the Earth’s guardian Sorcerers being the first to confront them.

For reasons unknown, perhaps to protect Earth, Lin Rui was strongly urging cooperation with the Earth Sorcerers to help them deal with the traitorous sorcerers.

In Tony’s view, it was entirely unnecessary. Based on Tony’s understanding of the Sorcerers, their power, attacks, and the mysterious changes in their magic were simply not within the realm of his technological weapons.

Therefore, if indeed other-dimensional ent.i.ties came looking for trouble with the Earth Sorcerers, their a.s.sistance would not yield many results.

And the events that occurred half an hour ago confirmed Tony’s concerns. The traitorous sorcerers had indeed appeared, but the mirror dimension they created completely evaded the surveillance of s.h.i.+ELD, the League of Defenders, and Tony’s monitoring systems.

Only Lin Rui, the unlucky one, had detected the trace of magical spatial energy and was subsequently beaten into his current state by Kaecilius.

“Well, it’s an internal matter among the sorcerers. They should solve it themselves. We were willing to help in order to share the burden, but if they don’t appreciate it, then there’s no need to get involved anymore. I will continue to monitor the situation, and we’ll contact each other if there’s any new information,” Rogers nodded and replied.

“Alright, even though you arrived late and didn’t get to use the Magic Cube, I still appreciate your support,” Tony, in a rare moment, thanked Captain America.

“No problem, it’s what should be done. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back. I don’t feel at ease carrying the Magic Cube around; it’s better to let those researchers tinker with it,” Rogers replied with a faint smile, preparing to leave.

Rogers understood that the medical facilities at s.h.i.+ELD wouldn’t be much better than Tony’s for Mirage Knight’s injuries. Moreover, there were still many matters within s.h.i.+ELD that required Rogers, as the Director, to handle.

Especially with the recent incidents involving Falcon and Coulson up north, Rogers was slowly dealing with the senior figures involved.

“Well, you go ahead. I already have enough things to bother with. It’s better to leave the Magic Cube with you for now. Give it to me when I need it,” Tony said, seemingly aware of Rogers’ busy schedule.

“Alright, keep in touch.” Nodding, Captain America bid farewell to Spider-Man and Harry and turned to leave.

Just like when he arrived, Captain America Steve Rogers left without alarming anyone. However, this meeting between Rogers and Tony confirmed their att.i.tude toward the Earth Sorcerers. Perhaps the Earth Sorcerers’ suspicious behavior this time had cost them their most reliable ally on Earth.

“Well, are you guys going to stay here and guard Jackson?” After Rogers left, Tony looked at Peter and Harry beside him and asked.

The wounds on Lin Rui’s body were visibly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye under the influence of the Recovery Serum in the medical pod. However, the injuries in his mind were not something Tony could easily resolve.

So, perhaps he could only wait for Lin Rui to wake up on his own, just like before. But this time, who knew how long it would take for him to wake up? Or maybe, he might never wake up again.

“I’ll stay here and guard Jackson. I think he’ll wake up soon this time. He’s like an indestructible c.o.c.kroach. Even if powerful sorcerers come, they won’t be able to defeat him,” Peter spoke first upon hearing Tony’s words.

“I also want to stay here and guard Jackson, but I need to go back and take care of things at the company. So, I have to go back first,” Harry continued after Peter.

“Well, then Harry, you go back first. Don’t worry about this place. I also believe that Jackson will wake up soon,” Tony said to Harry, receiving their responses.

“By the way, what about Jack? Why hasn’t he come back yet? Didn’t he say he was going to the Earth sorcerers to find an explanation? Nothing has happened, has it?” Just as Harry was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that Jack hadn’t returned.

Buzz~

Just as Harry finished speaking, a wave of magical spatial fluctuations came from behind them. Then, a golden magical portal appeared in the underground medical room. And from inside, Jack, who was mentioned by Harry earlier, walked out. However, at this moment, Jack’s expression seemed even worse than before.
