"My Master is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like you," Kaecilius said calmly as he observed the shock on their faces. "My Master once spoke directly, foretelling that Earth would meet its destined fate—it will be invaded."
"A war will break out, a war with far-reaching consequences, and Earth will experience an event of incineration."
After finishing, he continued, "Not long after my Master's prophecy, the Battle of New York occurred. You could say the prophecy was fulfilled perfectly!"
As they listened, Captain America and the others were both shocked and skeptical.
Could there really be such a thing as prophecy? Or was it just a coincidence?
However, the way events had unfolded indeed matched what the sorcerer had said. Earth was invaded, and a war had begun. If this sorcerer wasn't lying...
Wait!
Suddenly, Tony noticed something off.
"What is this 'incineration event' your Master spoke of?" he asked in surprise.
At his words, Natasha and the others also realized something was strange.
If the previous parts of the prophecy aligned with the Battle of New York, then this final mention of "incineration" seemed out of place and quite peculiar.
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't figure out what this "incineration" had to do with the current battle.
Hearing Tony's question, Kaecilius hesitated for a moment before replying, "Perhaps my Master was referring to this war in New York?"
Tony shook his head, countering, "There's a high possibility that this 'incineration' refers to something that hasn't happened yet."
"Of course, it's also possible that your Master was simply referring to this war."
He continued, sounding noncommittal, "Honestly, up until now, we're all still skeptical. We haven't fully bought into your so-called prophecy, nor do we truly believe in the existence of your Master."
"Unless an 'incineration event' actually happens, only then will we truly believe what you say, and in your Master's power..."
He left the rest unsaid, but everyone understood what he meant.
That would prove that the Master indeed possessed unimaginable and terrifying power—a truly great being.
However, for now, this was all just talk. As they emerged from their initial shock, both the Avengers and Loki's group began to calm down.
They thought the sorcerer's claims were far-fetched, filled with statements that couldn't be proven.
But what if this "incineration event" did occur?
Captain America and the others instinctively brushed aside that thought.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Kaecilius chuckled slightly. "It's only natural that you mortals don't believe in my Master's power."
"Let's say, for instance, if I told you the fusion of two universes was also due to my Master's power, I suppose you'd believe me even less?"
"Do you think two universes would just merge on their own for no reason?"
"That's all thanks to my Master's power—power far beyond anything you mortals can imagine!"
What?!
Stark and the others' faces paled.
The abnormalities happening in the universe were because of this Master?
How was that even possible?!
Stark refused to believe it. This defied all logic—who could possibly do such a thing? He was more inclined to think it was a natural phenomenon.
But if it were true...
Stark shook his head hard, pushing that impossible thought out of his mind.
No way!
The others shared the same reaction—shock, followed by disbelief.
If it were true, then the so-called Master's power would be beyond comprehension.
A quick glance at their faces told Kaecilius and his followers that these people didn't believe them. In fact, after what Kaecilius had just said, they were even more doubtful of the prophecy and the existence of the Master.
This made Perry and the other sorcerers furious, eager to teach them a lesson. Kaecilius, however, remained indifferent, believing that time would prove everything.
At that moment.
After the conversation, Captain America refocused his attention on the Mind Scepter and the Tesseract.
After clearing his throat, he said, "Even if that's true, you still need to put down the scepter and step away from the Tesseract. They don't belong to you."
With that, the tension between the Avengers and the sorcerers escalated.
Kaecilius sneered, "I should say they don't belong to you. These two artifacts are offerings for the great Demon God."
Seeing this, Stark didn't waste any more words. He quickly raised his right hand and fired a laser blast at Kaecilius.
With a bang, the laser shot toward its target at high speed!
However, before it could reach Kaecilius, a large yellow shield of light appeared, blocking the blast.
It was the Seraphim Shield, summoned by Perry and the other sorcerers, who had been ready for an attack.
Tony Stark exchanged a glance with Thor and the others, and they immediately understood. One by one, they began their assault.
Boom!
Thor's hammer crackled with lightning, and bolts of electricity crashed against the Seraphim Shield.
Hawkeye Barton, out of arrows, drew a handgun and began firing.
Black Widow, the Hulk, and others also joined the attack.
In an instant, all sorts of attacks rained down on the Seraphim Shield.
They all knew very well that the Tesseract and the scepter couldn't fall into the hands of these mysterious sorcerers, or the consequences would be dire.
Watching the barrage of attacks on the shield, the Avengers' eyes were filled with hope.
Electric light danced across the Seraphim Shield, and for a moment, the massive yellow barrier flickered, showing signs of instability.
Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow's attacks were mere scratches to the shield, causing minimal impact.
However, with a roar from the Hulk, who leaped up and delivered a powerful punch, the already unstable Seraphim Shield shattered completely.
Perry and the other sorcerers stumbled, shocked that these people had managed to break their shield.
Reacting quickly, some sorcerers began to recast their protective barrier, while others summoned energy whips.
The next second, yellow energy whips lashed out, aiming to bind the Hulk.
But they underestimated the Hulk's strength. To their shock, he broke free of the energy whips one by one!
Kaecilius' brow furrowed deeply. He quickly realized that Perry and the others were losing control. If this continued, they would likely be defeated.
Naturally, he wasn't about to stand idle.
