Chapter 537: The Demon's Threat (Third Update)
Chapter 537: The Demon's Threat (Third Update)
"Foolish humans, today is just the beginning. In three days, I will randomly appear over any city in any country. Each time I appear, I will kill all the humans in that city and feast on your souls.
Until there is not a single human left in this world.
So, experience despair. Only the most desperate souls are the most delicious. Today, your souls are not desperate enough."
After neutralizing the nuclear bomb, Jerry used Phantom Shift to appear above the White House in Washington. Then, using the Sonorus Charm, he broadcast his arrogant and terrifying voice throughout the city and, via live stream, to the entire world.
" Demon Roar! "
Before leaving, Jerry deliberately spat a stream of dark energy onto the vast lawn in front of the White House, turning it into a bottomless pit.
The message was clear: I know this is your capital, and I know you are in this building. If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as squashing ants.
But I won’t kill you. I want to scare you, to show you what despair feels like!
The effect was immediate. After Jerry left, the government officials who had been in a meeting at the White House looked out the windows at the deep pit that seemed to lead to hell, their faces pale with cold sweat.
Even the President, who had known the general plan in advance, felt his legs turn to jelly.
If that black energy column had been just a little off, they would all be meeting Satan now.
It was at this moment that the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and others finally understood the importance of the Avengers.
Even if the Avengers grow more powerful and influence their government, it would only affect some interests. Given the Avengers' character, they wouldn’t try to seize power.
But if the Avengers really quit, situations like today could lead to the extinction of humanity.
The world is not the same as it used to be. If demons can exist, what else is impossible?
"Immediately, right now, get me the UN Secretary-General. I think we should reconsider and vote to repeal that agreement. We need the Avengers' protection. What do you think?"
The new President, returning to his seat, scanned the room.
This time, no one dared to object. They were still reeling from the terror that had nearly claimed their lives.
Similarly, as Jerry disappeared and the satellite live stream ended, the governments and people of all countries around the world fell into panic.
Demons really do exist, and they are so powerful that even the White House nearly fell to them. If the demon appears over their city in three days, what will they do?
Who can defeat the demon? Who can save them?
The first thought that came to everyone’s mind was the powerful Winged Witch, the legendary Thor, the mighty Hulk, and the Avengers who had once saved the world.
The tendency to distance oneself from problems, a flaw inherent in human nature, is universal across all countries.
Previously, international public opinion had been against the powerful Avengers, citing examples of innocent deaths caused by the collateral damage of their missions.
Most people felt that it didn't affect their interests, so they didn't speak out against it.
A small number of people who had been helped by the Avengers, especially in places like Sokovia, where their power was too insignificant to make any difference, also didn't do much.
But now things were different. If that demon appeared in their city in three days, without the Avengers' help, they would all die.
Realizing this, everyone's stance became unified. They began to criticize the so-called agreement passed by the United Nations online, calling it completely unreasonable.
They rallied in support of the Avengers, hoping the Avengers would reassemble to help them fend off the demon and protect the world's safety.
Some people even started organizing large-scale protests on the streets, hoping their governments would vote again to repeal the previous agreement.
The United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan, New York, was surrounded by angry New York citizens with signs just one hour after the live broadcast ended.
Of course, all of this was also relayed to a computer on Hawaii Beach through the internet and various surveillance systems.
"See, I told you it wouldn't be a problem. In a few hours, Tony, your phone is going to be ringing off the hook!"
Jerry looked at the information gathered by Vision on the computer and shrugged.
It turned out that Tony hadn't been lying to the Secretary of State. After the press conference announced the Avengers' dissolution, most of the Avengers members had taken Tony's private jet to Hawaii for a vacation.
Thor had indeed returned to Asgard a few days ago, but not because he was disappointed with humanity. It was simply because Jane's cancer had been cured, and they had gone back to Asgard to get married. If everything went well, he would return to Earth tomorrow.
"I'm not worried about the plan not going smoothly. I just hope, Jerry, that you're not really a demon from hell."
Tony stared at Jerry curiously, examining him up and down, jokingly.
The other Avengers also looked at Jerry with surprise.
Previously, when Jerry had explained the plan, they hadn't quite understood what it meant to transform into a demon. Did he mean sprouting a few pairs of black wings like before?
But when they saw it today, they realized Jerry had truly transformed into a demon.
"It's just a type of Magic called Absorption Magic. By drawing out a creature's soul, you can transform into that creature through the absorption of the soul. By drawing out a demon's soul, I can transform into a demon."
Jerry briefly explained the principle of Absorption Magic.
However, it was clear that everyone didn't fully understand, but they did grasp one thing: Jerry had once absorbed a demon's soul.
"Is there really such a thing as demons in this world?"
Natasha and Wanda, both in bikinis, couldn't help but exclaim.
"Real demons aren't scary. You can think of them as a type of alien. With powerful enough weapons, they can be easily killed. What's truly terrifying is the demon within the mind, which is impossible to kill."
Jerry smiled and then suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, I have another demon. When transformed, it's over 300 meters tall, and its song can instantly kill any creature that hears it. If you have time, I can show you."
Everyone: "..."
Indeed, Jerry would make an excellent supervisor.
