Chapter 264 How About Being a Villain for Fun?
The magic system of the Marvel world gave Kevin a lot of inspiration.
After that, the magic that Kevin created in his spare time was mostly similar to the magic of Kamar-Taj.
Like the Red Ring of Raggador, the magic whip, or the scarlet chain of Seratok.
Kevin "copied" them one by one and made them his "original" magic.
Kevin even wanted to tentatively create magic such as mirror space, but unfortunately, it was probably because the level of [Lord's Magic Principle] was not enough, or Kevin's understanding of space magic was not enough.
Kevin could not "create" magic such as "portal" and "mirror space" for the time being.
It's a bit regrettable, but it's not a big problem.
Kevin, who has mastered a variety of magic methods, can now be regarded as a qualified magician.
In the future, Kevin will no longer fight the enemy with water.
He will make good use of shaping magic and the magic pattern system to create more cumbersome, complex and interesting combat skills.
Don't think it's useless.
Li Da Zhuan Fei's magic is indeed good. He controls tsunamis to attack enemies, and the scene of letting people try the power of nature is indeed great.
But those are ordinary water flows.
Take Doctor Strange as an example. His water control in Avengers 4 can break Kevin's trick.
At worst, he can draw a circle and make a portal to take Kevin's water away.
But when Kevin casts magic with magic patterns, Doctor Strange can't control them by "water control".
Kevin can even create "anti-teleportation" magic tricks to avoid the magic he created being teleported when fighting against magicians.
This is the difference.
To use a more fantasy metaphor, it is the difference between ordinary water and Taiyin True Water.
Of course, the level span is definitely not that big, but as long as you understand that their "quality" is different.
And the most important point is that the magic created by Kevin appears in the skill tree list.
That's right, the 'original magic' that Kevin created by copying the magic of the Marvel world was actually recognized by the skill tree and added to the list.
This means that Kevin can also add points to these skills in the future.
"This is really 'deep blue' adding points."
When he knew that the magic he created was included in the skill tree, Kevin couldn't help but complain.
So even if the subsequent skill system has not yet been revealed, Kevin is still short of skill points.
Even more than before.
In the past, at least the skills were only those on the skill tree, and you could see the end at a glance and know how many skill points it would take to max out all the skills above.
But now, as long as Kevin is willing, his future skills will be endless.
There will be no upper limit to the demand for skill points.
And when he understood this, Kevin's goal in this parallel black robe world temporarily appeared.
Before Huey agreed to inject Enhanced No. 5 and send the transfer back to the original world, he had to try his best to get skill points.
Because it is not his own world, Kevin can actually mess around in this world, and he can do more if necessary.
"I'm a little tired of being a hero in another world, why not... be a villain in this world?"
You need to be skilled at messing around.
You can't quench your thirst with poison, and you can't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
It's indeed easy and quick to kill some people to get skill points, but that's a one-time deal. Sometimes letting people live can bring Kevin greater benefits.
So Kevin decided to play the game of heroes and villains with them first.
It just so happened that the identity of a 'super villain' was more suitable for him as an outsider.
And Barry.
After temporarily deciding what to do, Kevin began to think about how he would become a 'super villain'.
The most convenient way, of course, is to publish a declaration on the Internet, saying that he is a super villain and is targeting the Seven.
This is of course simple and convenient.
But it's a bit too simple and convenient, and it doesn't have style.
Since you want to play, of course you have to play well, and you can't appear so casually.
When Kevin was thinking about it, the phone suddenly rang. It was Butcher calling.
"Kevin, someone wants to see you."
"Who?"
"I think you should know her in your world, her name is Mallory."
"Hmm, old acquaintance, from your tone, have you told others about us?"
"There is no way not to tell others, because you hold the crucial clues to deal with Walter... But don't worry, we don't mean to force you to do anything, we just want you to come and talk to us."
Perhaps worried about angering Kevin, Butcher added later.
Kevin glanced at Barry who was eating calories at the table, and said to Butcher on the other end of the phone:
"Okay, tell me a place, let's have a good chat."
...
"He agreed to come."
In Mallory's villa, Butcher, who hung up the phone, said to Mallory.
The former CIA director who assisted the Black Robe Patrol again after Susan's death looked at the people in the room, thought for a while, and looked up and asked:
"So, there really is a parallel world?"
"If there is no living example in front of me, I won't believe it."
"What is the probability of them lying?"
"Not much, because I don't think they will lie to us, a group of stray dogs."
"That's true..."
Mallory responded in a deep voice.
In fact, even if the Black Robe Patrol was not wanted, or some of them had a relationship with a big force, Mallory would not believe in the nonsense of the parallel world.
But it is precisely because the black robes are basically rats crossing the street now, with no money, no power, and no previous connections except Mallory, there is nothing to rely on.
So the parallel world's rhetoric will be more credible than ever.
No one will lie to a group of people who have nothing, let alone make up such a suspicious-sounding rhetoric for these people.
It's just...
"If there really is a parallel universe, then we're in big trouble."
Mallory thought for a long time and said slowly.
Butcher felt that Mallory was referring to something, and he guessed a little, but still asked:
"What do you want to say?"
"We can't be sure what the other world is like for us, nor can we be sure how the visitors from another world you meet view our world.
"Humans are a group of greedy people. When we discovered the American continent, what we did to the indigenous people was the best proof, and now... for them, we may be their 'new world'."
"You mean they will invade our world?"
Butcher frowned:
"But the invasion is based on the inequality of power between the two sides. To the other world, we are not Americans who can only drive away the enemy with stone spears and bows and arrows."
"How can you be sure that the development of the two worlds is really exactly the same? How can you be sure that they don't have more advanced technology? Think about it, they can even travel through parallel universes. It's not surprising that they can do more things. "
This is exactly what Mallory was worried about.
When Butcher and the others saw Kevin, they realized that Kevin was a visitor from a parallel world, and they only thought about what information they could get from him about Walter.
They didn't think more, or they couldn't think of that level.
But Mallory was different.
She used to be a colonel in the military and led the army to participate in wars, so she would consider the level of war.
Countries and continents will still have conflicts and even unilateral massacres due to contact with each other.
Then the collision between worlds will definitely cause conflicts and contradictions.
What's more, there is also America in the parallel universe.
And Mallory, who was once a colonel in the military and deputy director of the CIA, understands the barbarity and greed of this country very well.
If they knew about the parallel world, how could they let go of this undeveloped land? .
Correspondingly, the countries in their world are also like this.
That's why Mallory wants to meet Kevin.
Not to deal with Walter, but just to confirm what kind of person the other party is and his real purpose.
Butcher thinks Mallory thinks too much, but he can't deny that no matter how small the probability of the other universe invading this world is, there is such a possibility.
At the moment, Butcher can only remain silent and sit with Mallory waiting for the arrival of the visitor from the parallel world.
Ten minutes later, the doorbell of Mallory's villa was rang.
It was Kevin and Barry who came here after receiving their invitation to talk.
Butcher let them in and took them to the reception room specially prepared by Mallory.
After everyone present was seated, Mallory started this conversation.
"I think it's not the first time for you to see me. "
Sitting opposite Kevin, Mallory chose this sentence as the opening remark.
Kevin leaned on the sofa without image, and responded in a relaxed tone:
"Indeed, in another world, we are still partners, the kind of pleasant ones."
"Then I hope we can be partners in this world."
"It depends on your performance."
Kevin smiled slightly, his tone was neither hurried nor slow.
Mallory also laughed when she heard it, with a faint smile on her face, as if what she said to Butcher before did not exist, she smiled as if she was not worried that the other party was an intruder.
"Mr. Kevin's performance should refer to 'sincerity', right? I heard from Butcher that you want them to find a few people in this world, and coincidentally, I have information about one of them."
"Oh?"
Hearing Mallory say this, Kevin became interested. He narrowed his eyes and looked at him:
"It's only been a day. I think even with the speed of the CIA, it's impossible to find the person I want so quickly, so..."
"I won't hide it from you. Long before we knew about your existence, we captured a superhuman related to the 'Red River Incident'. He is now secretly detained by the CIA. If you want to see him, I can help you."
Mallory had just finished speaking, Kevin hadn't spoken yet, but Butcher frowned and asked:
"Wait, you already had the person he was looking for before? Why didn't I know?"
"You don't belong to the CIA anymore, Butcher, we have no reason to let you know everything."
"But I've been dealing with the Vought Group! Why don't you even want to tell me this little bit of news?"
Butcher couldn't help but get angry.
He led his team to fight Vought with great effort, but the CIA didn't tell him any news.
If Butcher knew in advance that there was someone Kevin was looking for in the CIA, he would have been more confident and would not have to ask Mallory for help!
In the face of Butcher's anger, Mallory was very calm.
She turned her head slightly and looked at Butcher:
"You are wanted criminals. Why should we take the initiative to contact a group of wanted criminals and tell them something that is also top secret for the CIA?
"Butcher, you are not a child anymore. Can you be rational?"
Mallory said in a calm tone.
She was right.
The CIA is not a charity. No matter what Butcher did, he did not belong to the CIA, and the CIA would not take the initiative to reveal confidential information to them.
Even if Mallory had a friendship with them, it would be the same.
