Chapter 1065: Rogers’s Arrive
Phew~
Just as Harry and the others were angrily discussing the sorcerer community on Earth, a faint blue light suddenly descended from above the medical room— it was JARVIS’ projection.
“Sir, Captain Rogers has arrived.” The voice of JARVIS came as the faint blue light descended.
After Tony and the others rescued Lin Rui from Kaecilius, Rogers finally arrived from Washington with the Magic Cube. However, the Magic Cube was not needed at this moment.
“Bring him in,” Tony calmly instructed upon hearing JARVIS’ words.
As for Peter and Harry, upon hearing JARVIS’ reminder, they quickly put on their masks again. They weren’t prepared to face Captain America with their true ident.i.ties yet.
However, there was no need for Lin Rui, who was lying in the medical chamber, to hide anything anymore. The true ident.i.ty of Mirage Knight had long been known to several core members of SHIELD.
Clatter, clatter, clatter~
Less than a minute later, steady footsteps could be heard from outside the medical room. Then, the burly figure of Captain America, Steve Rogers, walked in.
Upon entering the medical room, Rogers first glanced at Lin Rui, who was receiving the Recovery Serum in the medical chamber, before his gaze shifted to Tony, Spider-Man, and Harry.
“The SHIELD teams have already withdrawn. How is Mirage Knight? What happened?” Rogers took the initiative to inquire as he approached Tony.
“His injuries are not particularly severe. With the medical resources available here, he should recover completely in a day or two. However, his brain seems to have suffered some injuries— his brainwaves are very weak and irregular,” Tony truthfully replied to Rogers’ question.
“Injuries to the brain? Is there no way to heal it?” Rogers furrowed his brows upon hearing Tony’s response and continued to ask.
“If it were a simple brain injury, we have many means to perform a recovery here. But in his case…” “Knowing that Rogers might not understand his words, Tony added an explanation.
A long time ago, Tony knew that there were some people in this world who possessed special abilities that couldn’t be explained by current technology, just like Mutants.
In theory, the only difference between Mutants and ordinary people was the genetic gap. However, some genetic differences allowed Mutants to possess many unique abilities, which did not conform to the normal evolutionary rules of humanity.
Moreover, there were very few Mutants whose abilities seemed unrelated to the rules of physical lifeforms and couldn’t be explained from a genetic perspective.
For example, Professor Charles Xavier’s telepathic abilities— Psychic Power—were ethereal and elusive. They couldn’t be simply explained by brainwaves alone, as brainwaves were merely a simple reaction to brain activity. Psychic Power was a special ability with many functions.
Jackson, in particular, possessed extremely powerful Psychic Power. In previous instances when Lin Rui was injured, his Psychic Power had also been damaged, resulting in brainwaves similar to the current situation.
The severe impact on his Psychic Power during the incident when Lin Rui attempted to lift Mjölnir without permission nearly caused his Psychic Power to collapse. However, at that time, Lin Rui’s Psychic Power was not yet strong enough, and with the help of a Psychic Power fruit, he forcibly upgraded it, barely surviving.
Now, apart from the injuries on his body, Lin Rui’s consciousness in his mind was in chaos. In the battle against Kaecilius and his dark aura, Lin Rui had consumed too much Psychic Power.
Currently, there were only a few faint traces of Azura’s light drifting in his consciousness. According to the display on Tony’s monitoring device, Lin Rui’s brainwaves were extremely weak, resembling that of a vegetative state.
“Is that so… Did those sorcerers do this? I arrived in a hurry, and the message you sent me wasn’t very detailed,” Rogers nodded helplessly and continued to inquire.
After Kaecilius and his team appeared, Rogers, who was at the SHIELD headquarters in Washington, also received a notification. However, since SHIELD had already stationed numerous armed forces near the Sanctum in New York, Rogers didn’t plan to go there personally, just like Tony.
However, just as Kaecilius and his team quietly constructed the Mirror Dimension and Lin Rui rushed in, Rogers received an urgent message. He was instructed to bring the Magic Cube and rush to New York as soon as possible.
Although Rogers didn’t know what exactly had happened in New York, he swiftly s.n.a.t.c.hed the Magic Cube from the hands of the fervent researchers at the base and made his way to New York.
But just as Rogers was halfway to New York with the Magic Cube, he received another message that surprised him.
It was a message from Tony, stating that Lin Rui was trapped in the Mirror Dimension, a place equivalent to a parallel world. Furthermore, he had been severely injured by evil sorcerers and almost killed.
“It’s sorcerers, but not the ones you mentioned. It’s the target of Jackson this time— the traitor sorcerers. When they appeared, only Jackson noticed their construction of the Mirror Dimension, so he charged in directly.”
“And I asked you to bring the Magic Cube so that we could use its spatial power to break the spatial barrier between the Mirror Dimension and the real world, but it’s too late now…” Tony calmly continued to answer, looking at the puzzled Rogers.
“The Mirror Dimension? You did mention it to me before. It’s an advanced application of magic and spatial forces used by the Sorcerers. However, after Jackson got trapped inside, did the sorcerer on Earth not take any action? Or is the power of those traitor sorcerers just too formidable?”
“We’re not entirely sure about the strength of those traitor sorcerers, but we have witnessed the actions of the sorcerer on Earth,” Tony replied.
“Oh, so that’s why you had me withdraw the teams?” Upon hearing Tony’s response, Rogers finally understood why Tony had instructed him to withdraw the teams guarding the Sanctums in London and Hong Kong.
“Since they don’t even care about the appearance of the traitor sorcerers, why should we bother with these thankless tasks?” Tony nodded, not denying his actions.
“Well, I agree with your approach. If they can watch Mirage Knight being injured like this and not take any action, then there’s no need for cooperation,” Rogers said seriously, his gaze returning to the unconscious Lin Rui in the medical chamber.
