Marvel Book of Magical Events

The Cheshire Cat squatted on the corner of the table, staring at the argument that broke out at the dinner table.

It licked the gray fur on its body with its barbed tongue, then raised its round head, narrowed its eyes, and purred in its throat, as if someone was gently scratching its head. top of head. Within a few seconds, it returned to its original leisurely state. It seemed that the quarrel between the witch and Athena did not affect its intention to enjoy the salmon. It saw Lara Croft quietly waving to it at the table, so the fat cat jumped onto the female archaeologist's lap with agility that was not allowed by its 30-pound (approximately 13.61kg) body. He nuzzled her chin with his head very naturally, and then continued to focus on Bayonetta, Jeanne d'Arc, and Athena who were arguing in low voices.

Bayonetta always thought that her old tricks from many years ago would work, but how could Salomon not know her plan. Although he left the restaurant with Milia, the Cheshire Cat stayed here as his spy - but it takes a lot of concentration to let the cat act as a spy, because the Cheshire Cat will be interested in everything. If not controlled, this fat cat will jump on the dining table and throw everything to the floor - Lara Croft knows nothing about this, she just senses that the atmosphere at the dining table is not good, and after talking to After Wanda Maximoff exchanged glances, she planned to take the cat and leave first, leaving space for the three women with supernatural charm.

Or rather, a witch.

However, the female archaeologist discovered that the weird smiling cat seemed unwilling to stay in her arms. Even Wanda Maximoff could not explain why the cat gave up petting and chose to stay in the restaurant. The latter can only believe that cats are inherently sensitive to magic and are keen to stay in places rich in supernatural elements. But when facing Lara Croft, Wanda Maximoff just He pointed to the plate of salmon on the table that he had not finished yet, indicating that that was the real reason why the Cheshire Cat did not want to leave.

"The war is coming soon." It wasn't until Lara Croft and Wanda Maximoff left that Athena returned to her normal voice. She doesn't like to speak in metaphors, but certain things cannot be known to others. To be precise, they cannot be known to unrelated people. Although she admires Lara Croft very much, this does not mean that she will reveal some secrets to the female archaeologist that ordinary people should not know. "The winter of Finbul has arrived, the nine kingdoms are suffering disaster, and the Ragnarok War will soon affect the earth. He must take time to deal with it... As far as I know, he still has the Lunar War and the Greek War to face. Yes. He's going to kill a lot of people, girls, and now is not the time to let him wallow in gentleness."

"I'm sure he can handle it. He's always been like that, prepared for everything."

"Taking you to an isolated island in the southern hemisphere for refuge is no preparation, Joan of Arc. Nuclear war is not an easy problem to solve." Athena said angrily. In her eyes, although the witches all have three-digit ages, they are undoubtedly ignorant girls. She did not mention the Eternals that Salomon was monitoring and planning to hunt for opportunities. Compared with grand wars such as Ragnarok, the existence of the Eternals was not a particularly urgent problem that needed to be solved, not to mention Attilan's aliens. The Terran race needs to be solved, and the latter has the technology, knowledge and equipment it needs, so the war on the moon will be earlier than the war against the Eternals - as for the tracking of the Skrulls, the priority is ranked behind many tasks - - Salomon was not that quick to eradicate the Skrulls from the Earth, it was a long job.

"Those three wars are just wars in the material universe. He will face more severe challenges in the invisible realm. The war in the Sea of ​​Souls will allow him to truly assume the responsibility for the continuation of the human race. By then, he will no longer be the one you know. The boy you know, he will become a truly ruthless ruler, just as he should be. He is so kind, and that kind of responsibility will crush him, how soft-hearted you boy is." She held out her hand, Calling the Cheshire cat over as he tries to get closer to the slow-roasted brisket on the table, "And the intensity of the coming war will bring back fears far beyond the Cold War back to the human race, and that's what he has to face. Not only will he have to defeat those who are trying to Destroy the monsters of mankind, eliminate the weakness within mankind, and at the same time awaken the courage of mankind to explore space. This is difficult, but he must do it."

Bayonetta tilted her head, not too surprised.

Athena must not know what information Salomon and the witches confessed. The encounter and departure of the Supreme Mage have long been doomed. It was a zero-sum game with Asgard, and the two witches knew it well. They were fully aware of the decision Salomon made, the decision a brave, selfless man would make. He has already negotiated with the witches - not so much negotiation, but persuasion - Bayonetta hopes to have a stable family environment, and Salomon can only ensure that he can do his best to provide it when completing these things. . "So, we should hurry up." Bayonetta resisted the urge to show off. She stood up, held the back of the chair, and patted Jeanne on the shoulder. "After all, we don't have much time left. There are still two hours and fifty-four minutes until lunch time, which is not enough time."

"Stupid girl, stupider than Aphrodite!"

"You can also say that I am more beautiful than Aphrodite." Bayonetta narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Be careful with your tongue. I have killed things that claim to be gods, and he has also killed .The legacy of the Shadow Witch is far more cruel than the world imagines. If his heart is too soft, then I will help."

Athena raised her eyes and glanced at the Cheshire Cat at the corner of the table.

"If you want to know, I will tell you that the situation there is not good." Wanda Maximoff looked melancholy. It was not that she had never seen the dispute between the witch and Athena, but this time it was different. It seemed that there was an unsolvable conflict between the witch and Athena. But Wanda Maximoff did not think that the matter was unsolvable, because her teacher was now in the living room, walking around with Milia on his shoulders. Salomon has the ability to prevent conflicts from breaking out, and Wanda is convinced that this is not a particularly difficult task based on his ability. "I don't mind helping you take care of Miriam," Wanda said, "and I think Laura doesn't mind either. Don't worry, we won't have any problems with Dinah here."

"Don't worry," Salomon said with a smile.

This is not the first time this has happened. There have been various disputes between the witches and Athena, and every time they hiss and spit like angry she-cats - this is a metaphor rather than a statement. If he let those three women hear this, they would definitely turn their weapons on him - but not let the situation get out of control. There are some things they have to argue about to come to a conclusion, otherwise the matter will never end. Sometimes solving problems in an underground duel training ground is not an unacceptable option. They are not the middle class who think that goods will grow on the shelves or the plutocratic families who have been raised as idiots by generations of wealth. Everyone here has experienced fierce battles and won the final victory. Even Athena has personally experienced many battles. For humans, it is a battlefield of nightmares. Bayonetta and Joan of Arc who pick up the swords and Athena who picks up the spear will not let themselves get hurt, let alone leave scars.

"Don't worry too much." Salomon looked at Lara Croft, "No one will be hurt."
