Chapter 612: Book of Darkness (Second Update)

Three days before the cooldown period for entering Mini World ended, in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base cafeteria.

Hermione was telling Jerry about a special mission she and Skye's team of metahumans had carried out the previous day.

"Jerry, I didn't expect ghosts to exist in your world. Fortunately, I recently mastered the Patronus Charm, but it's a shame that they managed to escape in the end."

"Ghosts?"

Jerry's heart skipped a beat.

Hermione had been carrying out various missions for S.H.I.E.L.D. over the past few weeks, and Jerry only came to see her when she returned from her missions.

Each time, Hermione would recount the details of her missions to Jerry.

After resolving the Hive issue, S.H.I.E.L.D. was still struggling with the thousands of awakened metahumans.

However, Coulson was more empathetic than the previous director, Nick Fury. Instead of imprisoning these metahumans, he registered their abilities and allowed them to return to their normal lives.

Of course, this didn't mean there were no precautions. Each metahuman was required to wear a tracking bracelet. If they used their abilities to commit crimes, S.H.I.E.L.D. would apprehend and charge them immediately.

Most metahumans adapted well and continued their normal lives, using their abilities without harming others.

However, a small number of metahumans, feeling superior due to their newfound powers, began to use their abilities for theft, robbery, and even murder.

Hermione's missions often involved assisting Skye and others in dealing with such metahumans.

There were also missions to combat terrorist organizations and the bizarre monsters created by mad scientists.

For example, yesterday's mission involved a group of mad scientists who, while conducting an experiment, transformed themselves into ghosts.

These ghostly scientists then attacked ordinary people.

Neither the regular agents nor the metahumans like Skye could harm these ghosts.

In the end, Hermione used the Patronus Charm to block the ghosts' attacks and, with the modified Fiendfyre Curse that Jerry had taught her, burned one of the ghosts to death, which scared the others away.

"Were those the scientists who obtained the Dark God's Tome?"

Hearing Hermione's account of the mission, Jerry had a good idea of what had happened.

The Dark God's Tome, also known as the Book of Death, the Book of Sin, and the Xyson Scrolls, was a super magic book created by Xyson, one of Earth's earliest ancient gods, while fleeing from the God Eater.

The book contained all the cosmic laws that Xyson had comprehended, and both mages and scientists, even artificial intelligences, could find the knowledge they sought within its pages.

However, it had a significant drawback: once opened and read, the reader would be influenced by Xyson, leading to a drastic change in personality or even mental control.

This was why Jerry, despite knowing about the Dark God's Tome, had not rushed to find it.

He had not yet been confident enough to face Xyson, the god of Dark Magic, and feared being mentally controlled after reading the book.

He also couldn't bring the Dark God's Tome to other Mini Worlds to study it, as the book's connection to Xyson's mental realm was what allowed it to contain infinite knowledge.

If the Dark God's Tome were taken to a Mini World, this connection would be severed, and the book would become a blank, white page, at most retaining some durability.

But now, his strength has grown much stronger, and he has grasped more laws. His ring world is also becoming more complete.

Although his overall strength may still be far behind Xyson's, he might still be able to resist Xyson's mental intrusion.

If he wants to be even more cautious, he can wait until he has a better understanding of the laws of the Harry Potter world before opening the Dark God's Tome, considering that Xyson is a powerful being among the Dimensional Deities.

According to the information he gathered from the Ancient One, both Mephisto, Lord of Hell, and Dormammu, Lord of Darkness, borrowed Xyson's Dark Magic before becoming Dimensional Deities.

So, he can't underestimate Xyson.

"Hermione, Fitz has found some clues about those ghosts. They appeared at a hospital in Los Angeles. We need to go there immediately."

While Jerry and Hermione were in the middle of their meal, Skye, wearing her S.H.I.E.L.D. combat suit, ran over quickly.

"Alright, Skye!"

Hermione put down her fork and swiped the bracelet Jerry had given her. Her dress immediately transformed into a black combat suit like Skye's.

Jerry also stood up.

"You don't need to go. I'll handle this."

Hermione and Skye were taken aback. Jerry had not been helping them with tasks lately, let alone taking on tasks directly.

This situation today was clearly unusual.

Jerry smiled and explained:

"I have a good idea of what might have turned those scientists into ghosts. If it is what I think, it could be quite dangerous for you. It's safer if I take care of it."

For regular tasks, Jerry was not worried. With Hermione and Skye's abilities, they would generally be fine.

Moreover, he had upgraded the necklace with Merlin's Ring that he had given Hermione. If there was real danger, the necklace could release a powerful protective shield to keep Hermione safe.

He could also sense any danger and come to help immediately.

But this time was different. If Hermione and the others managed to obtain the Dark God's Tome and accidentally opened it, even he might not be able to prevent Xyson's mental intrusion.

So, he decided to handle it personally, and he could also take the Dark God's Tome into his possession.

Although the Dark God's Tome is just a copy that Xyson has placed on Earth, its effects are the same. It can connect to Xyson's mental world and allow him to steal Xyson's knowledge.

If he operates it well, he might instantly absorb a large amount of knowledge, which could bring the ring world's laws to over 50% completion, significantly boosting his strength.

"Of course, no problem!"

Skye thought for a moment and finally nodded.

If Jerry says it's dangerous, it must be. Besides, they can't really help much with the ghosts, as only Hermione's magic is effective against them. It's better to let Jerry handle it.

After giving Jerry the detailed address of the hospital and watching him disappear on the spot, Skye said to Hermione:

"We have no tasks this afternoon. Let's continue practicing martial arts!"

"Good idea."

Hermione's eyes lit up.

Using magic to attack others in Hogwarts Castle results in points being deducted. Once she masters martial arts, the next time she encounters those little brats from Jerry's fan club, she can give them a taste of their own medicine.
