Marvel: The Sorcerer in America

"You'll find out later," Lance replied in a tone that was almost cold, then he immediately ignored them and redirected his attention back to the head surgeon present.

In the Marvel universe, there is no way to avoid involvement with SHIELD, especially since they have expertise in handling mysterious cases. They are more suited than the police to deal with "monster" cases like this.

However, Lance was not ready to get involved with them just yet.

In a somewhat gloomy atmosphere, Lance then looked at the surgeon and asked calmly, "So, have you thought about it?"

The responsible surgeon looked panicked and almost insane, his eyes wide as he shouted, "The magic book is mine, don't ask me to give it up!"

"Lucien Guest!"

Melinda's soft whisper was clear in Lance's ear. Without hesitation, Lance turned to Melinda and asked, "Do you know this man?"

Melinda slightly lifted the corner of her lips and replied in a more provocative tone, "Sir, you don't want to answer our questions. It seems we don't need to answer yours."

"Suit yourself," Lance replied with a calm expression, although there was a hint of indifference within him. After all, Lance felt there was no need to delve further into this matter.

Melinda immediately looked a bit annoyed, and before Lance could say anything, Barbara interjected, "We can answer your questions. We don't know that man, but we have information about him in our system—Doctor Lucien Guest, a most-wanted criminal by nine countries. However, it seems that this man will soon be captured by this country."

"You want to capture me? You must be dreaming!" Lucien shouted angrily, struggling desperately. A group of "monster" teenagers roared in confusion and desperately hit the blue chains that bound them. Even when the impact caused their heads to break and blood flowed profusely, they continued to try to free themselves.

Barbara pursed her lips, anxious. "We have to stop them!"

"I won't beat up a bunch of disabled kids!" Melinda's face darkened, like water, while her eyes stared sharply at Lucien Guest. "You bastard, hand over the controller!"

The reason SHIELD found the "Southern Front" headquarters was that they saw an advertisement selling hybrids in the underground network.

They had rescued several children who had been transformed and trafficked. They knew that these children had not been brainwashed but had been controlled by devices created by Lucien in a short time.

However, Lucien clearly was not going to give up easily.

Lucien glared furiously, to the point where the corners of his eyes bled. Suddenly, Lucien shouted with all his might, his voice filled with rage, "The Book of Darkhold is mine, you must not get involved!!"

"Book of Darkhold?" Melinda murmured with a confused expression.

"What is that?" Barbara also did not understand.

Melinda and Barbara seemed puzzled, but Lance was shocked, his expression changing drastically. "You found the Book of Darkness?!"

"Sorcerer, do you think you will win?" Lucien showed a fierce smile, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. As if that wasn't enough, more blood began to flow out. Lucien's eyes were filled with fanatic emotion. With a sudden movement, Lucien lifted his head and shouted loudly to the sky, "Great god of the underworld, Chthon, I beg you... Uh!"

Lucien may not have fully acquired magical physicality, but Chthon, the god of the underworld, had the power to respond to the calls of all who believed in him.

However, as soon as Lucien uttered that unclear incantation, Lance's face suddenly changed. With a swift motion, he extended his palm and pressed firmly against Lucien's mouth, forcing him to swallow the incantation again. In a cold voice, Lance said, "You have killed many Sorcerers. Did they die without telling you that all high-level Sorcerers know how to read memories?"

"Uh!!" Lucien may have never encountered a high-level sorcerer, but he quickly understood the meaning of Lance's words. Panic began to appear in Lucien's eyes, but since his mouth was tightly closed, he could only emit a silent wail.

"Reading memories is cruel. It can destroy a person's brain and turn them into an idiot, but..." Lance said in a calm tone, as if he was already accustomed to this reality.

Lance then looked at Lucien indifferently, his expression remaining flat, and slowly raised his other hand to press against Lucien's forehead. "You asked for it."

"Wait a minute!" Melinda and Barbara didn't know what Lance was about to do, but they could guess it wasn't anything good.

They wanted to step forward to stop Lance, but suddenly there was a blinding flash of blue light in front of their eyes. Shortly after, they felt their entire bodies tense up, as if an invisible force was binding them. They couldn't move at all.

Using the Talisman!

The talisman was known as the Immobilization Talisman, just as its name suggests, it is a Talisman of Immobilization.

Sorcerers use spiritual power in their practices, while dimensional beings are merely manifestations of that spiritual power itself. The effect of the immobilization talisman on dimensional beings is almost negligible, as they have a high resistance to spiritual energy.

However, this talisman is very effective when used on ordinary humans, as they have no protection or resistance against such power. That is why this talisman can render them completely immobile.

Lance remained calm, his eyes focused on Lucien, while the palm of his hand glowed slightly with a soft blue light.

After a moment, Lance removed his hand from Lucien's forehead, furrowed his brow, and rubbed his forehead with his fingers, looking slightly disturbed.

This memory reading spell is similar to black magic. The spell not only harms the person being read but also makes the user feel very uncomfortable. If Lance were not strong enough, he might suffer from a severe headache and pain in his body.

However, even at this moment, Lance felt a bit dizzy, his brain pulsing as if struck by a tremendous force.

What was even more tragic was Lucien's condition. Lucien's eyes now appeared dull and lifeless, with only his lips twisted and stiff, slightly parted as if he were silently crying.
