Marvel's Maelstrom

After more than a week, New York City has returned to its usual calm.

Although Harry and Doctor Octopus made a lot of noise, they mainly targeted superheroes like Gwen and Peter Parker, so they didn't cause too many casualties to ordinary New York City citizens.

New York citizens seem to have gradually gotten used to this kind of thing during this period of time, and their ability to accept it has greatly improved, so there has not been any major disturbance.

This incident seems to have passed so smoothly, and Harry, the main culprit of this incident, did not go to jail as Tony Stark predicted.

When Harry was on trial, his defense lawyer produced a hospital certificate saying that Harry was suffering from a mental illness, and then Harry's prison sentence was changed to entering a mental hospital for further study.

The mental hospital that received Harry was the Ravencroft Mental Hospital funded by Osborn.

Zhou Jiawen also had to complain that those people really don't even want their face. What's the difference between Harry going to the Ravencroft Mental Hospital and going home?

However, Zhou Jiawen can only complain about this. As an ordinary citizen, he has no say in those matters.

After a period of adaptation, American captain Steve Rogers finally came to the door.

After a few brief conversations, Zhou Jiawen brought a somewhat apprehensive Steve to No. 177A, Brick Street.

"Zhou, is this the sacred place of mages, Karma Taj?" Steve asked with some doubts.

Although the building in front of me is very simple, it doesn't look like a sacred place for mages, and this is the prosperous area of ​​Manhattan Island. A group of reclusive mages will put their residences in the downtown area?

"You can still call me Gavin, this is not Karma Taj, but the New York Temple." Zhou Jiawen said.

Although Zhou Jiawen can use the space portal to directly take the US team to Karma Taj, but Zhou Jiawen thinks it is better to take the US team to recognize the door for the first time.

"New York Temple?" Steve asked a little puzzled.

"You can understand it as the stronghold of those mages in New York." Zhou Jiawen said simply.

"Okay." Steve nodded without saying anything more.

Zhou Jiawen stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

"Hello, Gavin, and Captain America." Modu opened the door, greeted Zhou Jiawen, and nodded to the American team beside Zhou Jiawen.

"Hello, Master Modu, we are here to find Master Gu Yi." Zhou Jiawen said.

"Hello, Master Modu." Steve on the side followed Zhou Jiawen and greeted Modu.

"Well, Master Gu Yi is already waiting for you."

Modu nodded and didn't say any more, and led Zhou Jiawen and Steve directly to the New York Temple.

It's still a familiar place, a familiar coffee table, a familiar Ancient Master, and a familiar... huh?

This time, there was not only Gu Yi alone in the hall, but another figure familiar to Zhou Jiawen collapsed in front of Gu Yi.

"Tony Stark?!" Zhou Jiawen said in surprise looking at the figure collapsed on the ground.

"Master Gu Yi, why is Stark here? And what happened to him?" Zhou Jiawen asked suspiciously.

At this moment, Tony Stark collapsed on the ground with slack eyesight, his pupils had lost focus, and he had an expression of lovelessness and being spoiled.

"It's nothing, I invited this Mr. Stark to come to Karma Taj as a guest, but Mr. Stark doesn't seem to believe that we are mages, so I let him see what the real world looks like." Gu Yixia Taking a sip of tea, he said unhurriedly.

"Really?" Zhou Jiawen seemed to understand something.

......

Two 10 minutes ago, in the underground studio of Tony Stark's house.

"Jarvis, is the model of the energy sword ready?" Tony Stark finished his work, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Jarvis.

After the battle with Harry, Tony Stark deeply realized the inadequacy of his steel armor.

It's okay to meet ordinary enemies, but once he encounters enemies that can't be dealt with by the thermal weapons and shock beams on his steel armor, his offensive methods will be stretched.

Just like Harry this time and the Iron Overlord last time, Tony Stark can only fight a war of attrition with them to seek opportunities.

The power of the red cutting light newly developed by Tony Stark is pretty good, but that trick requires too much energy, so it can only be used as a killer weapon for the time being.

So Tony Stark intends to develop a weapon that can be used continuously and has considerable power as a conventional means.

And Ivan's electric whip last time and Harry's energized dagger this time gave him a lot of inspiration. Tony Stark has been trying various possibilities during this time.

"Sir, the basic model has been prepared, and its performance can be tested at any time." Jarvis said.

"Well, then... uh..." Tony Stark nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he noticed a large number of golden sparks appearing under his feet.

"Sir, there are unknown energy fluctuations, which are being analyzed..." Jarvis prompted.

"I saw it, Jarvis, immediately..." Before Tony Stark could finish his words, he felt his feet became empty and his whole body fell downwards.

"Sir?" Jarvis paused and then said immediately: "In case of emergency, activate Preparatory Plan No. 3..."

......

"Snapped!"

Tony Stark's feet were soft and he fell to the ground, but he didn't feel the pain of falling from a high altitude, as if he stepped on the air and fell to a flat ground.

So Tony Stark immediately observed the surrounding environment after getting up, and then he saw a big bald head smiling 'badly' at him.

"Where is this place? Who are you? What do you want? How... did you do it?" Tony Stark looked at Gu Yi warily and asked several questions in a row.

"Hello, Tony Stark, I am the mage of Karma Taj, Ancient One." Ancient One introduced himself.

"Kama Taj? A mage?"

"Okay, Gu Yi, the juggler, right? I admit that your methods are very clever, and you can crack my security system and tie me out of the studio."

"But I'm not an idiot, so let's get straight to the point, you, or what do you want?" Tony Stark said with a look of your poor acting.

"Stark, didn't you ask Gavin last time how many people in this world have mastered spatial abilities and can enter and leave your studio at will?"

"Gavin said there are many more, and the many he said should refer to our Karma Taj mage." Gu Yi said lightly.

"Gavin? You know Gavin? He made you do this?" Tony Stark asked.

"No, I'm just looking for you this time, wanting to experience the world of magic?" Gu Yi said.

"Magic? Hehe, don't be ridiculous, you should just tell me what you want to do with me." Tony Stark said with a look of disbelief.
