A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts - Chapter 921

c921 Incomplete prophecy, military intervention

“Fury sent the three of us here for a reason.” Hill sighed quietly, “Natasha, what happens next? The story won’t end here, right?”

“The ancient Egyptians believed the words of the prophet, and they also believed that En Saba Nur, that is, Apocalypse, was a false god, because what the real gods brought to their people would never be exploitation and oppression.”

“But even so, they don’t have the ability to fight.

Apocalypse is so powerful that even all the people in Egypt combined will not be his opponent.

They asked the prophet for help, and the prophet generously told them how to defeat the apocalypse.

When Apocalypse replaces his body, he will fall into a short sleep, leaving his body undefended and easily killed with a knife.

In addition, the prophet also told them that Apocalypse would change the body’s ability next, and its powerful self-healing ability.

Once the Apocalypse succeeds, it will mean that his rule will be extended almost indefinitely, and they and even their descendants will always live in dire straits and will never be able to stand up. ”

“This news has made up the mind for people who were on the fence.

They set up mechanisms in the pyramid in advance, held ceremonies during the Apocalypse, and launched a rebellion when they were most vulnerable.

They won the battle. Apocalypse and his four knights sank in ruins as the pyramid collapsed, and their rule came to an end. ”

“Is this the end?” Hill asked. “Is there no more information? For example, who is the prophet?”

“No more.” Natasha said with some regret, “Like the prophets in other stories, the prophet occupies the same small space in this story.

And even if we knew who the prophet was, what good would it do? The characters from thousands of years ago have long since turned into loess. ”

“The ancient Egyptians succeeded in overthrowing Apocalypse’s rule, but they were not completely successful, leaving the problem to us.” Barton said speechlessly, “We don’t have a prophet to help!”

“But we don’t have an enemy like Apocalypse.

We have to find a way to strengthen the seal. Even if it cannot be strengthened, it cannot be destroyed by others. Hill said seriously, and then she frowned, “Since he has interpreted the content of the stone tablet, why does he still need to perform this kind of sacrificial ceremony?” You don’t really think that Apocalypse will give him a reward after he escapes from trouble, do you? ”

“This is the gap in intelligence.” Natasha smiled, “He didn’t know Aaron’s prophecy, he just thought that Apocalypse died thousands of years ago.

Simply find a way to maximize the benefits and create a church that respects En Sabah Nur with this pyramid as the center.

We had only hired a few dozen people and the business had just started, so we came here. ”

Barton and Hill smiled speechlessly, “They are lucky, and so are we.”

The temporary base was quickly set up. Barton packed up his bows and arrows and started to stand guard at high places. Hill personally led people to clean up the underground ruins, took out everything except the pyramid, and widened the passage.

Natasha called Nick Fury and reported on the mission.

“That’s it, so far so good.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has taken control of the tomb of the ancestor of the mutants, let’s call it a tomb! ”

“You didn’t act rashly, did you?”

“No, I just did a simple cleaning of the mausoleum. I didn’t even use any electronic equipment.”

Nick Fury nodded imperceptibly, but his expression did not relax at all, “Aaron has always been paid to do things. Although he doesn’t want to admit it, he has never disappointed anyone.

Since the prediction has been made this time, the probability of Tianqi’s escape is definitely not low, so you must be mentally prepared. ”

“Accidents can come at any time, is that what you mean?” Natasha took a deep breath, and then looked at the fat man she had interrogated before, “The accident has already happened.”

Nick Fury was noncommittal, “That stone tablet is the stone tablet that records the legend of the apocalypse.

Find it and seize control of anyone who comes into contact with it or knows its contents.

All in all, the news cannot be allowed to leak. ”

“I’m getting ready to set off!” Natasha looked down at the compass in her hand. The pointer was very clear. “I have to admit, I really love this compass.”

Nick Fury raised the corners of his mouth, “No one dislikes it, so…you know what I think!”

“Fury, no, Director, this is your job, don’t try to get me on board.

In addition, I advise you to give up this idea. ”

“You won’t suffer any loss if you try.”

“We won’t suffer a loss now, but it won’t be easy to say in the future.” Natasha hung up the phone, took Barbie and several cars and left according to the direction of the compass.

…

A private museum.

The owner is happily introducing his latest collection to his friends.

“These three stone tablets are cultural relics from more than 3,000 BC. I collected them with great difficulty, and the records on them are very interesting.

En Sabah Nur, proof of the existence of the legendary ruler of ancient Egypt. ”

“Tariq, I know you can understand hieroglyphics, but there’s no need to show off like this!

Tell me quickly, what do these stone tablets say? ”

Tariq smiled proudly, and then pointed to a newly unearthed stone tablet, “This stone tablet records that En Saba Nur is a ruler with many god-like abilities. He can replace the body and obtain the original owner of the body.” His lifespan and abilities are how he maintains his rule.

However, his rule was overthrown by the people under the guidance of a prophet. ”

“This area is the agreement between En Shaba Nur and other gods. Egypt will be his territory.”

“As for this last piece…” Tariq pointed to the blurry slate with almost invisible words and said inscrutably, “This slate records the prophet’s prophecy. I specially found professionals to use the power of technology to record it. A few words have been restored.”

“What prophecy?”

“N-Saba Nur will one day leave the Pyramid, when he will regain everything he has lost, and those who share his abilities will be exposed to the sun.

But his ambition will not come true because Phoenix…”

“Phoenix? That is a very famous mythical beast in the East.

What next? ”

Tariq shrugged helplessly and pointed to a line of text that was obviously missing on the slate, “It ends here.”

“Isn’t it?”

“I know you are interested in historical legends, but unfortunately, the rest of the content cannot even be restored with technology.”

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The sound of applause sounded, and Natasha and Barbie walked in, “It seems we came at the right time!”

“Ladies, this is private property.

If you want to visit, you can wait a few more days. ”

Natasha didn’t talk nonsense. She just glanced at the compass and asked Barbie to take out the SHIELD ID.

“Sorry, I’m afraid we have to requisition these stone slabs.

But don’t worry, we will return it after the research is completed, and if there are any deficiencies, we will provide adequate compensation. “Barbie showed a sweet smile, and then asked the agents outside to move in.

The official identity scared Tariq and the two of them, but when he saw that they were going to take away the slate, Tarik couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Wait, you have no right to do this.”

“Actually, we do.” Natasha said forcefully, SHIELD’s work style clearly reflected in her.

“These slates are not mine,” Tariq said hurriedly.

“What did you say?” Natasha’s expression changed slightly, “Who else has seen these tablets? Who knows the contents of the tablets?”

Tariq hesitated, but Barbie pulled out the gun right in front of him.

The black muzzle of the gun made him immediately choose to follow his heart.

“Last year, several people came to me with two stone tablets, because I am the most famous historical antiquities expert in Cairo and can decipher the contents of the stone tablets.”

“who are they?”

“The leader seems to be named William Stryker, and the rest should be soldiers.”

Snap!

“This is troublesome.” Natasha patted her forehead and asked helplessly: “Did you translate those two stone slabs for him?”

“I was already interested in the stele, and they offered a good price.

Most importantly, they have guns. ”

“What about the last slate?” Natasha asked, hoping for a chance.

“William agreed to store the two slates in the museum on the condition that if there are other slates, the translation content must be told to him, and he paid me 10,000 US dollars in advance. I have no reason to refuse, so…”

“Shit!

When did this happen? ”

“Almost two days ago.”

Natasha’s hanging heart finally died, “Barbie, take the stone tablet with you. We have to go back as soon as possible. It may be too late.”

“Do you want to notify the director?”

“I will.”

Several cars turned back again, a little faster than before.

Natasha also dialed Nick Fury’s number, “Bad news, Fury.

People in the military knew about the existence of Apocalypse, the ancestor of mutants, as early as last year. ”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m pretty sure, I don’t know about the others, but William Stryker was among them.

You should be aware of this colonel’s attitude towards mutants. ”

“Fuck Fuck!”

“Fury, we need support, I suspect the military has been looking for Apocalypse’s tomb.

And SHIELD showed them the way. ”

Nick Fury was breathing rapidly, and after pondering for a while, he said: “Try to stop them. If you can’t stop them, don’t stop them.”

“What? Do you know what you are talking about?”

“I know it very well, Agent Romanoff, but it’s too late.” Nick Fury said helplessly, “William Stryker is a knife used by the military to deal with mutants. This knife is so convenient. All He did all the dirty work, the tiring work, and even the fatal work.

When it comes to dealing with mutants, Stryker has too many resources to use. There are more than one general and more than one politician standing behind him. The military will never give up on him unless it is a last resort.

And now Stryker and even the faction behind Stryker have been preparing for at least half a year. The information SHIELD has obtained in these two days and your team alone cannot compare with their long-term preparations. ”

“Okay! I almost understand.” Natasha calmed down a little, “That means we can’t stop the prophecy, right?

So what are we still doing in Egypt? Can’t you go home and take a vacation? ”

“You still have to struggle.” Nick Fury said with a wry smile, “Maybe it can be done!”

“Easier said than done, Fury.”

“It’s two different things to do it and not succeed and to do nothing.”

Hearing this, Natasha rolled her eyes speechlessly.

What he said is high-sounding, isn’t it just that he wants to throw the blame away when the board of directors holds him to account?

Back at the ruins, Natasha got out of the car and showed an expression of ‘Sure enough’.

Hill was arguing with a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a slightly bloated figure, and the camp was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers with live ammunition. The SHIELD agents seemed particularly embarrassed in terms of manpower and weapons and equipment.

“Natasha, you’re back so soon.” Barton came over and said.

“It doesn’t seem to be of any use. It seems like nothing will happen without SHIELD.”

“What’s going on now?”

“You have to ask Hill about that.” Barton shrugged, “Fortunately she is the leader. I’m not good at negotiation.”

“Looking at her face, it seems that the negotiation was not going well.” Natasha shook her head slightly and walked over.

“It’s so unreasonable, shameless, and despicable.” Hill said angrily, “It was obviously our SHIELD team that came first.”

“Agent Hill, I’m already very reasonable.” Stryker said with a smile, “Also, to correct you, we were the ones who came first.

The Egyptian government approved the military’s development rights to this area six months ago.

In other words, this land already belongs to the military, and you are trespassing on the military’s military base.

If you don’t believe it, we still have approval documents. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman beside him handed over a document, “Government approval document.”

“Introducing my personal assistant Koyama Yuriko.”

“Dangerous, very dangerous.” Natasha looked at this gentle woman and instinctively felt her scalp numb.

“Natasha Romanoff.” Stryker maintained a decent smile, “I guarantee with my personality that Yuriko is very safe, safer than you Avengers.”

After reading the approval document, Hill had to suppress the anger in his heart, “Colonel Stryker, do you understand what this relic means?”

“Of course I understand.” Stryker looked solemn, “It means that because of the dangers and hidden dangers, I know the owner of this ruins better than any of you.”

“Then you still…”

“This is not my decision alone.” Stryker said with a half-smile, “To be honest! Many generals, senators, and even the president do not want En Saba Nur to appear in this world alive. ”

“Then you should cooperate with SHIELD and we can try to strengthen Apocalypse’s seal.”

“A good idea, a very good idea.” Stryker gave a thumbs up seriously, and then changed the topic, “But unfortunately, the higher-ups don’t seem to agree with this method.

What they want more is to nip the risk in the bud once and for all. ”
