The Death Knell

Su Ming asked his adjutant to notify Hydra and the Hand. However, the other group of people did not pursue them after receiving the "enthusiastic text message" sent by the adjutant. Instead, they brought a box with the money paid for the Hand's transaction. Escaped quickly.

As expected of Hydra, he is cautious enough in doing things, and you can tell at a glance that he has suffered a lot from the Avengers.

The Hand's most powerful place in the United States is San Francisco. There are too many superheroes in New York, and the Purity Society based in Chinatown is against them, so this group of ninjas can basically be said to be isolated and helpless.

Ninjutsu in the Marvel universe is a very broad concept, and part of it is the monkey version of the technique that Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty created on the Japanese island when he ran away with part of his 'Qi training method'.

Skills activated by using the monkey version of "ki" can be called ninjutsu. For example, using ki to walk silently on bricks and tiles is called "Ninjutsu: Skanda's Foot" in Japan, and in China it is called "lifting ki". There is no particularly cool name for sneaking up to the room, after all, a warrior can do it.

After all, serious people are already flying in the sky. How about using Qinggong to get into a room? What about naming the moves?

But ninjas have to come up with names, and names are so cool.

Throwing concealed weapons casually is not called blind throwing, it is called "Ninja Technique·Multiple Shadowless Shuriken", and the New Year's sword technique is not called Jumping Knife, it is called "The Secret of Ninja·Eight Gods One Sword Slash"

Many nameless moves that used 'qi' in the Celestial Dynasty were learned by the ninjas. They were given a fancy name and turned into ninja moves. In essence, they are the same as the sticks that used many things from the Celestial Dynasty to be listed on the World Heritage List. There is nothing to say about this.

In addition to these physical techniques, ninjutsu also includes some methods of using cosmic energy. This is even more complicated. There are some alchemy techniques and yin and yang techniques passed down from the Great Qin Dynasty, some Jianghu tricks that were later learned, and some Small spells stolen from the 'fairy', witchcraft stolen from Southeast Asia, and some real magic, etc.

It's quite complicated, but the most dangerous and obvious one of the energy usage methods is the power that ninjas get from the 'beast'.

Beast is one of the ancient gods of the earth. Everyone knows this. It is of the same generation as Ao Shutu and the others, but its prototype appearance is a completely black monster that resembles a saber-toothed wolfdog.

If it has any characteristics, it is vulgar, quite vulgar.

Its strength is not strong, but it is very capable.

When the first generation gods fought, everyone was rushing to get the concept of the universe. Sithorn took away 'Darkness' and 'Chaos', Seth took away 'Snake' and 'Swallowing', and Oshutu chose 'Order'. and 'light', Gaia took 'life' and 'balance'.

The two parties and their respective followers fought fiercely on the ancient earth, flattening and rounding the planet every day, playing with it like playing with plasticine.

The weak beasts, like Dormammu who was on Earth at that time, belonged to the class that had to walk around no matter which great god they saw.

It's just that Dormammu thought that flesh and blood were weak, so he simply gave up his physical body, gathered energy forms, and occupied some concepts of 'space', and escaped to the middle dimension to develop.

The beast took another path, and the great gods repaired the earth every day, so it burrowed underground and hid in the shadows deep in the earth where no one could see it and became obscene.

So it also found its own concept, which is 'shadow' and 'demon'.

In fact, fundamentally speaking, relying on devouring other people's energy and souls to strengthen oneself was an invention of the snake god Set. He also taught this skill to his followers, thus triggering the first generation of god wars on earth.

But the evil gods who used these abilities were not defined at that time. At most, they were called Seth's subordinates. At that time, the word "demon" did not exist.

This was taken advantage of by the beast hiding underground. It defined all creatures that relied on devouring souls to strengthen themselves as demons, and in this way it became the biggest demon and gained the ability to reproduce secondary demons.

Later, almost all the great gods left the main dimension of the earth and either settled in space or started businesses in the dimension. As a result, the earth was occupied by secondary demons created by beasts. Even if the gods came to conduct experiments, they did not understand magic. They can't deal with such a wretched beast.

During this period, the beast gave birth to many well-known hell lords, such as Mephisto, Satanish, etc., which can be said to be its creations.

But what happened next was beyond the beast's expectation. A man from the future returned to the ancient times with a sword, that is, the Pathfinder and its Star Sword, and brought with him the mysterious power contained in the sword.

In that war between humans and demons, the secondary demons were killed and injured. Even those who survived ran to the barren hell dimension to open up wasteland. The beast itself was chopped down by the first-generation Captain Universe and turned into a monster. A pile of dead bones.

It is dead, but not completely dead, because other demons still exist, so the beast that occupies the concept of demon can still struggle.

Although the physical body was destroyed, its demon soul still floated deep in a certain hell dimension, waiting for the opportunity to come back.

It was very clumsy and very patient. Later, the changes on the earth can be said to be a great change. The second generation of gods was born, the Celestials were driven away, the Blue Zerg came and other events happened one by one.

But it lurked in secret until it saw the schism in the Brotherhood of the Shield.

The Holy Shield Brotherhood was divided into five, and the Hand's branch was attracted by it. Originally, ninjas liked to do things in a sneaky way, which happened to be in line with the beast's habits, so it used certain means, such as Through dreams, demons and other methods, I reached a contract with the Hand ninjas.

To put it simply, it lends the ninjas the ability to use shadow magic in exchange for them gathering their own bones so that they can be resurrected in the main dimension.

Such as shadow clones, shadow escape techniques, shadow imitation techniques, these old coin-shaped hide-and-seek spells all come from gifts from beasts.

In addition, Beast also helped the ninjas get a copy of "The Grasp of Darkness", which is Sithorne's Book of Shadow Magic. After modifying it and copying it into his own monkey version, this also allowed some ninjas to Use the attack magic of the big shadow.

This is not a shame, anyway, the Nian beast's own shadow magic was secretly learned when Sithorne and Osutu exploded the star.

Its generosity does not stop there. There is no cost for casting spells in this transaction. The beast also promised the ninjas that it will give them many benefits after it is resurrected. It is such a tempting promotion.

These lower-level ninjas may not necessarily know what the 'fossils' they are looking for above are, but for them, worshiping the great god 'Black Sky' has become a habit.

You might think that some branches of Hydra are ignorant enough to worship the so-called "Nine-Headed True God", but the Hand's worship of Black Sky is even more thorough and fanatical.

Inside the box is a bone fossil of the beast. Because it was killed by a mysterious force back then, the bone fossil must have been as beautiful as stars, so it must have been regarded as valuable by the black cat.

From a certain perspective, she is quite knowledgeable.
