This was the change th
Opening the door, Jiang Yu walked towards the pizza shop.
It wasn't far, only about ten minutes.
Walking there would be fine.
Jiang Yu moved quickly through the streets, and along the way, many blonde, blue-eyed girls winked at him.
In response, Jiang Yu simply gave them a smile, providing a beautiful image they could recall when they went home to dig a fountain.
Two blocks away, inside the pizza shop, a woman dressed rather provocatively sat at a small table near the entrance, watching everyone who entered and exited the shop.
Soon, Jiang Yu pushed the door open and walked in, stating his phone number and reserved name.
He took the packaged pizza, ready to leave.
At this moment, the provocatively dressed woman stepped forward and pushed open the pizza shop door in front of Jiang Yu.
Looking at her back, Jiang Yu's lips curved slightly upward; her figure was good.
Seeing that she didn't close the door but held it open, waiting for him to exit, Jiang Yu stepped out and said "Thank you" to her.
The next second, Jiang Yu's brow furrowed slightly, because this woman was not just any beautiful lady he casually encountered.
She was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent! Ms. Hill.
A S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent dressed like this, appearing in a pizza shop, Jiang Yu wouldn't believe she was just out for a casual stroll on vacation.
"Can I get your contact information? Perhaps I'll be free tonight!"
Asking for his phone number?
Jiang Yu smiled, took a pen and paper from his pocket, and handed the pizza to her, saying, "Hold this for me!"
Hill looked at Jiang Yu with some surprise.
Who carries paper and a pen with them when they go out?
It seemed this guy wasn't a 'good person' either.
Jiang Yu smiled and handed a small slip of paper to her. Hill took Jiang Yu's slip and casually tucked it into her chest.
"Wow!" Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Indeed, a large chest had its advantages; it could even hold things, perhaps even more.
Taking the pizza back from her hand, Jiang Yu smiled, then turned and left.
Hill's face, which had been smiling a second ago, changed. After Jiang Yu had walked away, she prepared to follow him stealthily, but after just turning a corner...
Jiang Yu had disappeared.
This situation made Hill even more certain that the person was very likely the target.
Turning around, Hill took out her phone and dialed Fury's number.
"Director, target confirmed. He disappeared just after turning a corner."
On the other end of the phone, "So your intuition at the time was correct!"
Fury smiled helplessly. In the information provided by Tony, there was no data about Jiang Yu.
However, there was an image of Wong, and based on Wong's facial match, an unexpected result appeared.
Across all databases, there were only three sporadic images of Wong, each not exceeding three seconds.
What did this mean?
How could a normal person have only such sporadic three segments of footage in the S.H.I.E.L.D. database?
And among these three segments, one image happened to show half of Jiang Yu's face.
At the time, Fury thought he was just a passerby, but Hill felt there was something wrong with this person.
However, strangely, despite not having much footage of Wong, in the entire New York investigation...
The employees of this pizza shop remembered Wong because Wong came to their shop more than a dozen times a month to buy pizza; it would be hard not to remember him.
That's why this whole situation happened today!
But clearly, Hill underestimated magic, not expecting that he would disappear after just one encounter!
Chapter 42: The Birth of an Artifact
Returning to the New York Sanctum, Jiang Yu's pizza was floating behind him.
It followed Jiang Yu like a hydrogen balloon.
While eating the pizza, Jiang Yu's other hand was emitting a magical glow.
A magical pattern appeared.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Jiang Yu turned around to see Wong, holding a book, walking over and naturally pulling down the pizza box floating in the air.
He took a slice from it and took a bite.
"Hmm!" Wong frowned slightly. "The taste is a bit off today. Have they fired their chef?"
"Probably not!" Jiang Yu said while eating. "The pizza shop seemed too busy today; they probably had to speed up to cope with orders, which affected the taste!"
Wong nodded and casually looked at the magical patterns on Jiang Yu's hand.
"Are you trying to erase someone's traces of existence?"
"Yours!"
"Huh?" Wong was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Yu with a puzzled expression. "Mine? You want to erase all traces related to me?"
"That's right!" Jiang Yu nodded naturally, exhaling casually.
A white mist of light gathered into a screen-like holographic projection.
The content displayed was exactly the scene of Jiang Yu encountering S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Hill at the pizza shop today.
"That's a good figure. Why didn't you have a deeper conversation with her? She clearly extended an invitation."
Wong said, and Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, raising his hand, and another image appeared.
It was Agent Hill dressed in her Agent attire.
"She... she's an Agent?"
Seeing that Wong finally reacted, Jiang Yu nodded. "That's right! And the reason she was able to find me is because of you!"
The footage of Wong being photographed appeared. Seeing this scene, Wong immediately looked a bit embarrassed.
After picking up another slice of pizza, he seemed to want to find an excuse.
"You know, sometimes when doing things outside, it's inevitable to be careless. Look, there are only three pieces of footage, and one of them happens to have you. Can you blame me?"
As he spoke, Wong was already walking inside, and in a blink, he was gone.
Jiang Yu sighed. His right hand, which had already formed a complete magical pattern, suddenly clenched.
The next second, magical light surged forth, spreading like ripples.
S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury was staring at the computer!
"Was this... an intrusion?"
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s computers, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database, actually being infiltrated, and silently at that.
He watched as the files that should have been on the screen disappeared in an instant.
Searching again, no matter how he searched, he couldn't find them at all.
To use Thor's words, magic and technology are actually the same thing; it's just that magic manifests in different ways.
Although he didn't directly erase the memories of Fury and the others, as long as these things were gone, it would be very difficult for Fury to find them again afterward.
Any likeness of Jiang Yu and Wong would not exist in this World in any form.
Fury, of course, remembered Jiang Yu and Wong, but if he tried to draw them by hand, or describe their appearance through language to get someone else to draw them, he would instantly feel like he couldn't remember anything.
In short, no form would work.
This kind of magic was actually not too difficult, even if it meant making everyone in the World forget him, just like Strange did to Spider-Man, it would be quite easy.
Jiang Yu returned to his meditation room.
The consumed pizza, along with its box, automatically disappeared.
Jiang Yu began to re-research Mjolnir, improving the level of his defensive auxiliary magic.
One day later!
[Feeling the magic of Odin on Mjolnir, your defensive auxiliary magic proficiency +110]
[Defensive Auxiliary: LV6 ↑]
It finally leveled up.
Jiang Yu opened his eyes, looking at Mjolnir in front of him.
He speculated that Odin's magic level in this area might be seven or eight.
But for Jiang Yu, it was no longer so easy to continue improving through the magic on Mjolnir.
Of course, it still had value for use.
However, it was time to start making the artifact.
[Summoning Spell: LV5]
[Defensive Auxiliary: LV6]
Although making an artifact also required other magic, the two most important magic levels had already been raised enough.
There was no need to delay time further just for a tiny bit of improvement.
Jiang Yu slowly raised his hand and grabbed at the void. The Vibranium block, which had already been infused with magic, appeared in Jiang Yu's hand.
A fist-sized but irregular Vibranium block.
It was densely covered with white magical patterns.
The material had completed its magical forging; next, its shape needed to be changed.
To be crafted into an appearance similar to the eye of agamotto.
Making this type of magical item, whether it was a magical tool or something else, would not involve blacksmithing techniques.
That would be a bit undignified for a sorcerer.
Jiang Yu slowly made a unique magical gesture with both hands, gently pointing at the Vibranium in front of him.
Immediately after, a magical array pattern appeared, covering the Vibranium.
As the magic began to circulate...
The Vibranium was slowly deforming at a visible rate.
At this speed, it might take over a month for the Vibranium to be shaped into the form Jiang Yu desired.
"Let's speed it up for you!"
He raised his right hand, and red energy surged out instantly.
Reality Power erupted. Reality Power could modify reality, modify rules, and modifying an appearance was naturally within the effect of Reality Power.
With the injection of Reality Power, the deformation speed of the Vibranium began to accelerate.
However, this was still not enough.
His left hand extended, releasing Time Power.
Green energy flowed out, instantly forming a vortex that enveloped the Vibranium.
Time acceleration!
The deformation speed of the Vibranium became even faster.
Controlling two powers simultaneously, or rather, three powers.
It might have been a bit strenuous before, but now Jiang Yu had the blessing of the Phoenix Bloodline.
Posted 3 days ago at 2:02 AM
Locked
at pleased Jiang Yu the most.
He looked up at the Vibranium, which was still being infused with magic and enveloped by it in the air.
The next second, Time Power, Reality Power, and magic power all increased simultaneously.
They increased by about 0.6 times simultaneously.
This was because the power was dispersed; if it were concentrated, a single magic spell could likely be enhanced by nearly two times its original power.
This was great.
"It seems the magic forging of the Vibranium will be completed even sooner!"
It might still take about a month!
"The Phoenix bloodline can evolve again; specific evolution conditions are unknown."
Jiang Yu frowned.
The bloodline could still evolve, hmm! That's even better.
But the evolution conditions were unknown? Could it be that he needed to absorb more life energy?
Should he go to Asgard? Kill all the people of Asgard? Absorb their life energy, that should be enough!
Forget it!
Odin was still alive; even if going there wasn't asking for trouble, Jiang Yu couldn't just sacrifice all of Asgard for no reason.
"I need to go back to Asgard!"
Inside Stark Tower.
Thor, who had just disembarked from his spaceship, said to Tony.
Tony, however, just smiled. "I know, when you can't handle things yourself, you need to find your parents. Go ahead!"
"Tony, I really can't. I'll make the person who stole my hammer pay, but now I have to rush back!"
"Alright, alright! But how are you going back?"
Thor looked up at the sky. It seemed the magic Jiang Yu had cast on him had mostly dissipated.
His divine power had recovered by ninety percent, and re-establishing contact with Asgard to summon the Bifrost Bridge was no longer an issue.
"Send me back!"
The next second, a colorful beam of light directly pierced the roof of Stark Tower, and then Thor disappeared from sight.
After Thor disappeared, Tony took two deep breaths, then looked up at the hole in the roof. "Thor definitely did that on purpose!"
"Jarvis, arrange for some people to handle this mess!"
Tony pointed to the large hole in the roof.
"Understood, I'll arrange it right away, sir. There's a call from S.H.I.E.L.D., should I connect it?"
"Connect it! Let's see what these people want from me again?"
It was Fury who called, and his purpose in seeking Tony was simple.
It was about Thor.
Because Fury had discovered that Tony had taken Thor to London.
Coupled with some events that had occurred in London, it was normal for Fury to call and inquire.
"Basically, that's it. He lost his hammer, kept saying a trickster stole it, and that the person was an Earthling or something!"
"Anyway, I don't understand what's so important about his little hammer, but it's certainly a hassle."
Tony said lazily, sipping whiskey on the sofa.
"Enjoy your fine wine! We'll handle this matter."
"Oh! That's great. Do you need any information? I'll send you everything in a package."
After hanging up the phone, in an office at S.H.I.E.L.D.
Fury let out a soft sigh. "Trouble never stops!"
The Battle of New York had just ended, and new troubles seemed to be constantly emerging.
Looking at the data Tony sent, Fury frowned slightly.
He pressed a communication button on his desk. "Agent Hill, please come in."
Soon, Agent Hill walked in. "Director, is there something you need?"
Fury turned the computer screen in front of him. "This Asian man, I need you to investigate him. Remember New York? The sudden light that eliminated all the enemies? We've received information that there might be humans on Earth who can use magic."
"magic?" Hill was slightly stunned.
"That's right, you heard me correctly, it's magic!"
Fury rubbed his temples. "Natasha and the others are currently dealing with a special kidnapping of S.H.I.E.L.D. employees, so you're the only one available right now."
Hill nodded. "I will investigate thoroughly!"
"Good. I just searched and found that this person frequently appears in New York, so you'll probably have to go to New York."
"Understood!" Hill nodded.
At the New York Sanctum, Jiang Yu looked at Mjolnir in front of him.
Under the magical confinement, Mjolnir was completely isolated; even if Thor yelled into a megaphone in front of the hammer, there would be no reaction.
Jiang Yu rubbed his hands. "Good! While the Vibranium is being magically forged, let's first study this artifact."
Since he was also crafting an artifact, it would be great if he could learn from some of the magic on Mjolnir.
Eye of Truth! Open!
A faint white light appeared in his eyes. The moment he looked at Mjolnir, magical knowledge about this artifact began to pour into Jiang Yu's mind.
And what followed was an increase in magic proficiency!
"Upon careful observation of the artifact Mjolnir, Summoning Spell magic Proficiency +600."
"Upon in-depth study of Mjolnir, Summoning Spell magic Proficiency +870."
"..."
Chapter 41: Pizza Place in New York
"Through the study of artifacts, you have gained new insights. Defensive Auxiliary magic Proficiency +1000."
Jiang Yu let out a long breath.
After more than a month, he was finally going to raise his Defensive Auxiliary magic level.
It was estimated that in about another day, his Defensive Auxiliary magic level would reach six.
And after this period of research on Mjolnir.
"Summoning Spells: LV5 ↑."
Summoning Spell magic had already reached level five.
The increase in magic level meant that Jiang Yu could cast more sophisticated and powerful spells of that type.
But the real gain came from the Asgardian spells.
Or rather, Odin's spell magic.
Through Mjolnir, Jiang Yu had completely analyzed one of Odin's spell magics.
This magic was very interesting; it enhanced the effect of the spell by binding it to oneself.
This was why Hela could easily crush Mjolnir.
In terms of energy level, Hela and Odin belonged to the same level of life forms.
But the problem was in the application of energy; Odin was leagues ahead of Hela.
So there was naturally a difference in strength, but in essence, the two should be the same.
Or rather, Hela could infinitely approach Odin.
Jiang Yu also planned to apply this spell to the eye of truth, which was made using the Reality Stone.
The magic forging of the Vibranium was almost complete.
He looked back at the Vibranium constantly rotating within the magic array patterns.
Lines of magic patterns had already emerged on the Vibranium.
Once the magic patterns were completely carved, the magic forging would be entirely finished.
Then he would be able to integrate the Aether Particle, which was the Reality Stone, into it.
This was not simply making a container for the Reality Stone.
If it were just that, Jiang Yu wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. The main purpose of the eye of truth was to assist the user in unleashing stronger powers of the Reality Stone with a smaller cost.
Otherwise!
The result would be like the Infinity Gauntlet made by Iron Man Tony Stark.
With no auxiliary effect, the cost was snapping himself to death.
Although a single Infinity Stone did not impose as much burden as the six infinity stones combined.
But what Jiang Yu wanted to do was similar to the eye of agamotto: allowing the user to bear almost no burden at all, and to amplify the power of the Reality Stone as much as possible.
Secondly, it was for protection.
The Vibranium protection would prevent the eye of truth from being easily taken or even destroyed.
Also, even if it were taken, it wouldn't be easily crushed by Thanos like the eye of agamotto.
Although Thanos already had other Infinity Stones at the time and was very powerful.
The eye of agamotto being crushed so easily seemed somewhat unworthy of the title of artifact in Jiang Yu's opinion.
After all, Mjolnir was not casually crushed by Thanos, possibly because this Mjolnir was connected to a still intact Odin.
So it was not weaker than Thanos, and crushing Mjolnir was clearly impossible.
Jiang Yu looked at the Vibranium, which was about to be successfully forged, and nodded.
"About a few more hours!"
"Once the Vibranium is magically forged and the level of Defensive Auxiliary magic is raised, I can start crafting the eye of truth!"
The thought of an artifact being born from his own hands made him feel excited!
"Bala ba! Ba! Bala ba!"
Jiang Yu frowned, looking back at his phone placed on the table.
An unknown number. He casually picked up the phone.
"Hello, sir, your pizza order has a small issue. We have too many pizza orders today, and the delivery drivers can't keep up."
"How long will it take?" Jiang Yu glanced at the date, September 3rd!
It wasn't a holiday, or a Saturday or Sunday. Was today a special pizza day?
"It will take about two hours!"
Damn! Two hours.
The pizza would be cold after waiting two hours.
Forget it, Jiang Yu frowned. "I'll come pick it up myself!"
"Oh! That's wonderful, thank you for your understanding."
He hung up the phone and turned around.
One second he was in the robes of a Sorcerer Supreme, the next he was in a suit.
He tidied his hair slightly and took a step forward.
From a room in the Sanctum Sanctorum, he directly arrived at the doorway.
