[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

Matthew looked at Lucifer sadly: "You know everything about me, including the past that I deliberately forget and don't want to recall. Naturally, you should also know that it is absolutely impossible for me to associate with my peers."

"You still can't forget that?"

"Yes, can't forget."

Matthew lowered his head, not daring to look into Lucifer's eyes, afraid of seeing his past in Lucifer's eyes.

"You……"

Lucifer stroked Matthew's hair tolerantly, and asked, "Are you sure you can solve the troubles in New York by yourself?"

"it should be OK."

Matthew knew that even if it was the entire Galifia planet that threatened New York, with Lucifer's power, it could be easily resolved with a wave of his hand.

What's more, the opponents are just a group of incomplete weeping angels, two time lords who overcome the time paradox and forcefully coexist, and an ancient god whose identity is still unknown.

But he didn't want to ask Lucifer for help.

Because he doesn't have enough capital to pay the price.

It was also because he didn't feel that the matter was so bad that Lucifer had to be called in to solve it.

"When you need help, just call my name."

While muttering, Lucifer bowed his head and kissed Matthew's head lightly, and then—

disappeared without a trace.

As if never there.

……

Strange Doctor Strange returned to the Sanctuary, and as expected, there was a leave note from the Mage King on the table.

Grabbing the flimsy piece of paper, Strange couldn't help—

"Why do you, Mage King, ask for leave every time trouble comes to you!"

"Because he has a strong premonition of crisis?"

Matthew walked into the sanctuary and sat opposite Strange.

Regarding the experience in London, England in the nineteenth century in the parallel world, they still have some details to check and scrutinize.

"Coffee or tea?" Strange asked, restrained.

Matthew: "Drink tea, after all, the topic we are going to discuss next is Britain."

"Give you--"

Strange conjured a cup of black tea and delivered it to Matthew with magic: "I'm so poor that I can't add any condiments to black tea except lemon and sugar."

"It's okay, I brought my own milk."

After the experience in the parallel world, Matthew, who had a deep-rooted understanding of Doctor Strange's poverty and old unlucky attributes, took out a gallon of fresh milk and poured it into black tea.

Doctor Strange: "Can the leftover milk be left in the sanctuary? Just use it for tomorrow's breakfast."

"You are poorer than I expected."

Matthew was speechless.

In this regard, Strange calmly shook out the Mage King's leave note: "Mages have a lot of daily expenses, not to mention that whenever a strong enemy strikes, the Mage King will ask for leave and leave, I have to spend extra money to hire someone to protect me body."

"So your bank account is forever poor?"

"Yes."

Recalling the glory days of being a famous surgeon, Strange couldn't help feeling sad: "Why is my financial situation getting more and more difficult every day after I become the supreme mage protecting the earth?"

"Because money is a test for heroes."

"But iron men are rich!"

Strange showed resentment on his face, and suddenly thought: "Maybe I should become an official member of the Avengers, so that Iron Man can reimburse the Sanctuary for various additional expenses! Oh! I'm such a genius!"

"If the matter can be resolved smoothly this time, I believe that Iron Man would not mind having a supreme mage who asks him to reimburse his expenses."

Having said that, Matthew changed his tone: "But can this matter really be easily resolved?"

"As enemies, the Weeping Angel and the Time Lord are indeed very difficult existences."

Doctor Strange strongly agrees with Matthew's point of view: "So we should gather the power of all superheroes that can be assembled to resolve this crisis as soon as possible, and then let Iron Man reimburse the reconstruction expenses afterwards."

"What you said makes sense, but unfortunately—"

Matthew put down the black tea and said slowly: "Our enemies are not just Time Lords and Weeping Angels."

"There are new enemies?"

"Ah."

Matthew said: "Whether it is the Weeping Angel or the Time Lord, they do not have the magical ability to perfectly transform the members of the Avengers, especially this time one of the victims is Wanda who is proficient in chaos magic."

"really……"

Strange's complexion also became serious.

The Weissandi magic that Strange is good at is the nemesis of the chaos magic that Wanda is proficient in.

Because of this reason, Strange's understanding of chaos magic is second only to Wanda, and he naturally understands how powerful their enemies must have in order to quietly change Wanda's gender!

"You already know who He is?"

For the sake of caution, Strange uses the divine connotation of "he" to refer to the powerful magician hiding behind the Time Lord and the Weeping Angel.

Matthew shook his head and said, "I don't know who he is, but like you, I also think this powerful magician is a real god."

"That is to say, we are about to confront the gods head-on?"

"Yes."

"No wonder the Mage King left a vacation note so early..."

Strange smiled wryly, and threw the mage king's slip into the trash can.

……

Inside the Science and Technology Building——

The male mage changed from his frivolous exaggeration in the past, and walked up to the golden goddess solemnly and cautiously: "Your Majesty, when are you going to expand your divine power to spread all over New York?"

[My thoughts, you are not qualified to ask. 】

The golden goddess replied haughtily.

His voice echoed directly in the mage's mind, in stark contrast to the constant pounding that tormented him in his head.

"Your Majesty, Master just wants to serve you better, and has no intention of presumptuously."

Seeing the male version of herself being punished by the goddess, Missy stepped forward to make a rescue, and explained: "According to our eyeliner report in the Avengers Building, Tony Stark accepted the matter of transgender very well, and Wanda was punished by Ma After persuasion, Xiu regained her emotional stability and used chaos magic to cover up the fact that her body turned into a man. As for Loki...he is a fluid gender, gender replacement magic is completely ineffective on him..."

"Thor, the god of thunder who was indirectly transsexualized by Loki, has long been accustomed to Loki's pranks, and thinks that transgender is another magical joke of his younger brother..."

The male mage added, "Judging from the responses collected so far, the Avengers will not fall into chaos because of your gender replacement magic."

【yes? 】

The golden goddess was finally moved.

He waved his scepter, and a ray of gold flew out, heading straight for the Avengers Building opposite.

【how about this? 】

"of course--"

Before the words of compliment can be uttered, the power of the goddess has hit the barrier of the Avengers Building, and has been fused with Strange's Visandi magic, Wanda's chaos magic, and some unknown system of mysterious black magic. block!

……

at the same time--

"Master, there was magical energy trying to attack the Fulian Building just now, but it was blocked by a new enchantment that fused the magical energy of Mr. Strange, Ms. Wanda, and Mr. Matthew."

After confirming that the new barrier completely blocked the golden goddess' magical attack, the almighty butler Jarvis immediately told the good news to the now female Iron Man.

"The source of magical energy is—"

"Technology Building."

"really……"

Iron Man stopped the adjustment work of the steel armor, and asked Jarvis: "Is there a way for our system to track and counterattack the attack from the technology building?"

"I'm very sorry, I can't do it at the moment, but—"

"You've done a great job."

Iron Man rewards Jarvis.

"It is my honor to serve you, Master."

"Uh... can we have a discussion?"

The iron woman, who is flamboyant on a daily basis but really cares about the slightly alienated new title of "Master" in her heart, told Jarvis dumbfounded: "I think I am more suitable for the title of sir."

"But your current gender is..."

"I won't always be a woman..." Iron Man said, "It won't be long before the curse will be lifted, and Pepper and I and all the people who have the gender curse will return to their original gender.

I know you're trying to make me feel better by using 'master' instead of 'madam', but the fact that the title 'master' just makes me feel like we're farther apart. "

"Sorry, Jarvis made you feel—"

"Anyway, don't let me hear 'Master' again!"

The iron woman emphasized again.

"Yes, sir."

"OK..."

Listening to the familiar "sir", the iron woman finally felt comfortable.

At this time, the female Banner suddenly shouted with joy: "Stark! Come here! I found a myth related to transgender magic!"

……

Jarvis is the perfect butler.

After confirming that the mixed magic barrier could completely block the magic attack from the technology building, he immediately informed Strange who was having tea with Matthew in the Sanctuary of the good news.

After listening to the call, Strange showed a surprised expression: "It seems that the ancient god who is allied with the mage is not as powerful as we expected."

Matthew shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate any real god. The power of a god is not something that humans can easily achieve."

"you are right……"

Strange, who has been wandering around Iron Man and many other victims of transgender magic for a whole day without finding out the origin of the magic and how to break it, nodded in agreement, and asked Matthew, "Do you have any idea about the identity of the gods?"

"No." Matthew answered bluntly.

"Then we..."

"Generally speaking, the names of the gods are their greatest weakness. Only those gods whose power has exceeded the limit of imagination will disclose their names at will."

Matthew said, "So, if the ancient god who cooperated with the mage tried his best to conceal his name, I would be relieved to show that he is not an invincible top existence that we don't want to face."

"I see……"

After hearing Matthew's explanation, Strange heaved a sigh of relief.

Then he asked Matthew: "Is there such a possibility? The will of the city of New York is being hijacked by the mysterious gods, so that's why you ignore your request? Judging from his previous prank on the little spider, he obviously has no interest in the Avengers. malicious."

"Your guess is very likely, but we don't have enough factual evidence so far, so we can only temporarily—"

Matthew lowered his head and saw that Strange was busy writing: "What are you writing? A new magic spell?"

"This thing is much more important than magic spells."

Strange raised his hand and said proudly: "It's an application proposal for Iron Man to reimburse certain expenses of the New York Sanctuary!"

Matthew: "..."

Well, for Doctor Strange, who has been possessed by poor gods all year round, reimbursement is indeed more important than spells.

……

"That is to say, in ancient times 5000 years ago, there were many gods who were good at changing human gender magic?"

"And all of them are goddesses."

Female Banner added: "The more ancient, the stronger the power of the goddess, until the paternal line completely replaces the matrilineal line."

"So, there is an ancient goddess among our enemies?"

The iron woman smiled excitedly.

As the most romantic man in New York, Iron Man has had countless predecessors, but——

This is the first time Iron Man has come into contact with ancient goddesses.

Although his body is also a woman now.

For this reason, female Banner had to remind Iron Man: "The ancient goddesses of the matrilineal era are not the female gods in the patrilineal mythology, who are beautiful, jealous, gentle and virtuous, but appear only as companions of male gods as a whole. They are not only powerful, but also extremely violent. bloodthirsty, like—”

"The Indian goddess Kali?"

"Yes, Carly."

Banner slowly recited the devotee's description of Kali, the Hindu goddess of darkness: "Her face was sky blue with yellow markings, her eyes were fierce, and her hair was disheveled and bristly and often parted. , stretched like a peacock's tail, sometimes braided into a green serpent...she wore a long necklace of human skulls...purple lips with blood flowing; tusk-like teeth descending to her lower lip... "

Following Banner's description, the iron woman made up Carly's face, feeling creepy: "It's like a horror movie."

"Yes..." Female Banner said, "Most of the powerful goddesses in ancient times looked terrifying and approached the demons of later generations, because in the cognition at that time, the gods were terrifying and powerful existences. The ancient gods did not love humans, they sheltered Human motivation is closer to that of the shepherd protecting his flock from wild beasts."

"In fact, we have protected the earth and human beings as private property until now."

Sensing the powerful magic fluctuations, Loki left Thor's room with an excuse to drink water and passed by the laboratory. Loki said casually, "Gods like Thor who like to call humans brothers and sisters are actually very rare."

"This can be seen from you." The iron woman complained.

Female Banner lowered her glasses: "Loki, is there any record of this situation in Asgard's literature?"

"No." Loki replied without hesitation.

Iron Woman: "Really not?"

Loki: "Even if I lied to you, you wouldn't know, would you?"

Iron Woman & Female Banner: "..."

Fortunately, although Loki is a very unreliable teammate most of the time, but now that the entire Avengers League is facing death threats, he has no choice but to be serious, and said seriously: "There is no such thing as today in Asgard's literature." records of the situation, but I know that there are many gods living in New York City."

"There are many gods living in New York City?"

Both Iron Man and Banner were shocked: "What's going on?"

"literal meaning."

Loki smiled proudly and explained: "Most gods are not eternal existences, their power will weaken as the number of believers decreases, and eventually become almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.

But if this sentence is understood in reverse, it means that as long as the name of the god is still chanted by his believers, he will never die. "

"Most of the power of the gods comes from belief, and we have heard this."

"This is the case with most of the gods who live in New York City..." Rocky said, "As gods, most of them are on the verge of being completely forgotten, and their bodies are old and old. A mixed city where beliefs coexist, these almost forgotten gods can draw the last bit of faith to sustain life in New York."

"Do you think the god who attacked Fulian Building in the Science and Technology Building just now is one of them?"

"how is this possible!"

Loki smiled sinisterly: "If the gods living in New York City still possess such powerful power, how could they be as humble, old and lingering like the rats in the sewer?"

"Then your chatter just now doesn't mean you didn't say anything?"

The US team, who was also attracted by the voice of the laboratory, stood outside the glass door and complained about Loki.

Loki smirked and said, "But these waste gods who may die at any time can be our source of information, can't they?"

"you--"

Captain America finds Loki's words very offensive.

Iron Man was overjoyed: "As expected, it is a method you can think of!"

“A bit dirty but very functional.”

Loki said frankly.

Everyone couldn't help being silent.

……

In the morning, Matthew and Strange came to Fulian Building to learn about the situation.

"I heard that a certain god hidden in the Science and Technology Building launched a magical attack on the Fulian Building last night?"

[It has been blocked by a magic barrier, sir. 】

The intelligent system upgraded again by Stark answered Matthew with a mechanical voice.

Strange took the opportunity to take out the reimbursement application he had written all night, and pretended to "land" casually within the iron woman's field of vision, without saying a word, and took the freshly brewed coffee provided by the butler Jarvis: "Do you have any idea about the identity of our god enemy?"

"Not yet, but we have thought of a preliminary solution."

The female Thor stood up and proudly told Matthew and Strange the "suggestion" of his younger brother Loki: "We are going to ask the forgotten gods who live in New York to help. There is usually an inductive connection between gods and gods." .”

"That's a good idea..." said Matthew, "but there's one problem—"

"what is the problem?"

"Who is responsible for finding these forgotten gods?"

"This one……"

The female Thor froze.

As we all know, Thor is not good at magic.

The Chaos magic of Wanda the Scarlet Witch is also nothing special in the realm of communicating supernatural beings.

As for Loki...

Everyone in the Avengers would never dare to teach important tasks to this guy with repeated positions and cunning personality.

They looked at Strange in unison.

Strange smiled awkwardly, and said: "The source of my magic, 'Visandi' is the ancient gods, and their relationship with the religious gods that originated from their beliefs...is very bad..."

"All right……"

The iron woman put down the champagne in her hand and walked towards Matthew: "Can we trust you?"

"If you are willing to believe, I must live up to your belief." Matthew said, "Although I was also rejected by the will of New York City for some reasons."

"why?"

"Maybe he also has his own plans."

With that said, Matthew glanced at Spider-Man: "Can I ask him to be my companion?"

"Why do I?"

The little spider was very surprised.

Because of his young age, he has not become an official member of the Avengers until now, and he would——

"You are the superhero who is most familiar with New York." Matthew said, "Accompanied by you, the ancient gods who live in seclusion in New York will at least not refuse to open the door for me."

"Indeed, our Peter is New York's most popular superhero, the perfect caring and friendly neighbor."

Because of Matthew's words, Stark showed an old mother's proud smile.

Spider-Man was a little shy: "Sir, I'm just... just... The main reason is that everyone thinks I'm young, and they often give way to me and give me more opportunities to show off...Mr. Matthew, when are we going to leave?

How can I find the ancient gods hidden in the corners of New York City?Was it difficult to convince them?Whether to use English or their traditional language when communicating..."

"With me here, you don't have to worry about everything."

Matthew smiled and interrupted the little spider's chatter.

On the transparent panel that only he can see, a map of New York's unnatural forces based on the New York City ghost surveillance system is slowly forming.

The first station--

central Park……

……

On a sunny afternoon, a well-dressed old woman sat on a bench by the lake, watching the swans, wild ducks, mandarin ducks, etc. that were swimming freely in the lake, tearing off a little bread from time to time.

Her expression was very serene, and her whole body exuded a tranquility that sees through everything.

until--

Matthew walked to the old woman with the little spider: "Hello, Your Majesty the Goddess."

"goddess?"

The old woman looked up and looked at Matthew in a daze: "Handsome guy, you've got the wrong person."

"I'm pretty sure I'm not mistaken..." Matthew said, "I'm Matthew, and I'm looking for the goddess of death and winter in Slavic mythology, Marzanna."

"Slavic myth? Is there such a thing in the world?"

The old woman smiled strangely. Her smile made people think of winter, death and other creepy things.

Matthew then bent down to pay respects: "But we all know that the goddess of death is also the goddess of life. Whenever spring comes, the pale and shriveled old woman becomes the young and beautiful young girl whom your sun god once loved deeply."

"You really know how to please me."

The old woman raised her head, her pale and ferocious wrinkled skin became rosy and elastic at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the old man also turned into a bright young girl.

The fellow little spiders were completely dumbfounded.

For the task, he had to recite the "3-Minute Dating and Picking Up Handbook" written by Tony Stark with a sincere face.

"Your Majesty, you look really beautiful, and so is Marilyn Monroe. No, Marilyn Monroe has blonde hair, but Goddess, your hair is black, and you look more like Monica , Ajani, and Sophie Marceau are a mixture of the three, sexy and pure, noble and charming with magic..."
