The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Having determined the stakes, S.H.I.E.L.D. began arrangements with the premise of intercepting Daemos, starting with the transfer of the wounded.

The wounded included not only Peter and his team but also many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, all thanks to the hellfire summoned by Daemos. Despite the siege by so many heroes, the hellfire still destroyed an entire block.

After research by Tony and Strange, from both scientific and magical perspectives, the hellfire corpses, once they lost that purple energy, were just ordinary rocks with nothing special about them.

Secondly, they had to move the super villains away. If they muddied the waters during Daemos's attack, even the Avengers would find it a headache.

Finally, of course, was gathering manpower, especially spellcasters. Dealing with an enemy like Daemos was undoubtedly better suited to the magical side. Although Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, was in charge, more people were certainly better than fewer in this regard.

Strange didn't think Fury was underestimating him. Perhaps when he was still a brilliant doctor, he was a maverick, but after becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, rationality became his new favorite.

Strange actively sought out many mages. Although they weren't heroes, their strength was undeniable, and each had their own unique skills, which was why the Sorcerer Supreme sought them out.

As for whether Daemos knew Karn was in their hands, that was something no one could know. However, everyone knew they couldn't afford to gamble. After all, magic is a mysterious thing, and who knew if Daemos had a spell to find people?

Thus, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, waiting for the big fish, Daemos, to fall into this carefully woven net.

And Daemos? He actually hadn't left the TRN-123 universe. He simply used teleportation magic to find a secluded place to lie dormant, recovering his Enigma Force, preparing to kill Karn again after recovering.

Did Daemos know where Karn was? The answer was yes. This method of finding Karn originated from the Enigma Force.

Spellcasters who master the Enigma Force have the ability to see auras. They can see the auras of living beings, and through these auras, spellcasters can sense the emotions and intentions of the beings, thereby reading minds, and also see the health and authenticity of the beings.

Similarly, spellcasters can also track targets through auras. Places where the target has been, items they have touched, all have aura residues. Spellcasters can use these to perform tracking spells.

Therefore, Daemos already knew that Karn's current location was in the sky, and he speculated that it should be on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sky base.

"It seems Karn has been captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.," Daemos murmured.

This wasn't hard to guess. Daemos had traversed many universes, and S.H.I.E.L.D. could be considered his old opponent. He recognized Nick Fury, the baldy, during the previous battle.

If Karn was still alive, in order to make things difficult for him, he would definitely reveal everything to Nick Fury. After all, the Inheritor family no longer existed, and there was no point in guarding the family's secrets. It would be better to tell everything in exchange for a chance of survival. Anyway, if Daemos were the one captured, that's what he would do.

Thinking of this, Daemos suddenly froze. He realized that he didn't seem to know much about this brother of his. In his impression, Karn only seemed to have the adjective 'blockhead.' Daemos could only think from his own perspective about what Karn would do.

Rubbing his temples, Daemos felt a headache. Thinking was never his forte. Generally, if there were any problems, it was up to Jennix to handle them. He really had some difficulty with this kind of thing that required brainpower.

"I really miss Jennix a little," Daemos's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, but it was quickly replaced by cruelty.

"After I kill Karn and go back, I will beg the master to reward me with Jennix's soul. I want to make him into something that specializes in thinking for me."

Affection? It never existed for Daemos. After he embarked on the path of pursuing power, there was no turning back. He could only go all the way to the dark.

Daemos emptied his mind, and his body hid in the darkness again, secretly accumulating power.

Time flew by, and a week quickly passed. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s vigilance didn't slacken at all. Every day, a hero was stationed there, and other heroes were on standby at any time, ready to come and support as soon as something happened.

There was no other way. The heroes all had their own lives, and they couldn't stay at S.H.I.E.L.D. around the clock.

Even so, there were plenty of people because Peter and his team had almost recovered from their injuries. Even Daniel, who was the most seriously injured, could get out of bed and walk, but he still couldn't participate in the battle.

Because Nick Fury had some vacation time left for them, they naturally joined the standby. Of course, given that they were still high school students, daily study was still essential. Fortunately, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were all well-educated, and it was more than enough to tutor them.

"We've really become boy scouts now," Peter complained, slumped on the table.

"When will that Daemos come over!" Sam scratched his head and roared frantically. He was impatient and couldn't stand this endless waiting.

"Quiet, you two," Daniel reminded them with a cast on.

"Wait patiently and accumulate strength so that we can defeat the invading enemy in one fell swoop."

"I agree with that," Ava said, twirling the pen in her hand. "After the last defeat, we should have grown."

"I agree too," Luke subconsciously touched his shoulder. Although the injury there had healed, he still felt a lingering fear.

"It was the first time I was in so much pain, but it wasn't all bad. At least I know what can cut through my skin now."

Karn's energy pitchfork reminded him that his skin wasn't indestructible. After testing these past few days, Luke found that medical laser knives could cut through his skin.

"I think we should work on teamwork," Nova suggested. The experience of not being able to fire for a long time wasn't good.

Peter didn't speak. After all, according to Karn, they Inheritors were restraining all Spider-Men, so his spider-sense didn't move. He couldn't be blamed for this. After all, Spider-Man's battle couldn't be separated from the spider-sense.

Peter's team discussed their respective ideas, wanting to go further. The battle with Karn gave these young people a real lesson. Being a superhero wasn't a game, and people could indeed die.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a huge noise came, and then the sky base shook. Peter and the others knew that the enemy had arrived.
