Chapter 608: “The Darkhold”
They were at the cafeteria on the S.H.I.E.L.D. base three days before the cooldown ended.
Hermione was telling Jerry about a special mission she and Skyes team of Inhumans performed yesterday.
Jerry, I didnt expect ghosts to exist in your world. Fortunately, I have mastered the Patronus Charm recently, but its a pity that I let them run away in the end.
Ghost?
Jerry felt something in his heart. During this period, Hermione has been performing various missions, and Jerry will only come to see her when she returns from a mission.
Every time, Hermione would tell Jerry the process of performing her mission. After solving the problem of the Hive, S.H.I.E.L.D. still faced a huge problem when facing thousands of Inhumans.
However, Coulson is always more prepared than Fury. He did not imprison these Inhumans but just registered their abilities and then released them.
Of course, it is impossible to have no precautionary measures at all. Every Inhuman who is released will be forced to wear a tracking bracelet. If they use their powers to commit crimes, they will arrest and convict them as soon as possible.
Most of them are relatively normal and continue to live their own lives after returning. Even if they use their own powers, they will not harm others.
But some always feel superior to normal people after gaining superpowers, so they use their superpowers to steal, rob, or even kill people. Most of Hermiones tasks are to help Skye and others deal with such people.
There are also a small number of missions, which are to deal with some terrorist organizations that want to destroy the world and some monsters created by mad scientists.
Just like the mission yesterday, a few mad scientists did not know what experiments they were conducting and turned themselves into ghosts. Several scientists who turned into ghosts also attacked civilians.
Later on, Hermione used the Patronus Charm to block the attacks and finally used the improved version of the fire spell that Jerry taught her to burn a ghost to death, thus scaring away the last few.
Are they the scientists who got the Darkhold?
Listening to Hermione telling the details of yesterdays mission, Jerry had a rough idea.
The Darkhold is a book created by Chthon, one of the earliest ancient gods on earth. It contains all the laws of the universe that Chthon has understood. Whether it is a mage, a scientist, or even an artificial intelligence, they can find the knowledge they want from this book.
However, it has a big shortcoming, once someone opens the Darkhold and reads the knowledge inside, they will be affected by Chthon, their emotions will change drastically, and they will even be controlled by it.
This is also the reason why Jerry never rushed to look for it after learning about the Darkhold.
Because he was not sure before, he could compete with Chthon, who is known as the God of Dark Magic. He was afraid that after reading the book, he would be controlled by Chthon itself.
He cannot bring the Darkhold to other worlds because the book needs to be connected to Chthons world, allowing them to obtain endless access to information.
Taking the Darkhold to another world, this connection will be broken, eventually becoming a white paper without any text.
But now, he is much stronger than before.
Although his overall strength may be much worse than Chthons, it may still be possible just to resist his mental intrusion.
If he wants to be safer, he can wait until you have almost understood the laws of the Harry Potter world before he opens the book. After all, Chthon is also a powerful one among the Dimensional Gods.
According to the information he learned from Ancient One, Mephisto and Dormammu both borrowed Chthons magic power before becoming a Dimension God.
So, he should not be underestimated.
Hermione, Fitz found clues about those ghosts. They appeared in a hospital in Los Angeles. We must go there immediately. Just when Jerry and Hermione were halfway through eating, Skye ran over quickly.
Okay, Skye!
Hermione put down the fork in her hand and swiped the bracelet Jerry gave him. The dress she was wearing immediately turned into black tights.
Jerry stood up at this time, You dont have to go. Leave this matter to me.
Hermione and Skye were stunned when they heard this. During this period, Jerry had not been helping them. Todays situation is obviously not normal.
Jerry smiled and explained, I roughly know what the thing that turned those scientists into ghosts is. If it is really what I assume it to be, it is quite dangerous for you. It is safer for me to deal with it.
Jerry is certainly not afraid of these.
Moreover, he also upgraded Hermiones necklace. The necklace he gave her was engraved with Ring of Merlin. Now, the necklace could emit a super strong protective shield to protect Hermiones safety. He can sense the time first, and it activates and helps her.
But if Hermione and the others get hold of the Darkhold and accidentally open it, then even he may not be able to stop Chthons spiritual invasion.
So, he felt that it was better to go there and solve the problem himself. It just so happened that he could also get the Darkhold directly this way.
Although the Darkhold is just a copy that Chthon put on the earth, the effect is actually the same. It can connect to Chthons world and steal his knowledge.
If the operation is done well, he may be able to absorb a large amount of knowledge in an instant, thereby perfecting the laws of his ring world more, greatly increasing his strength.
No problem at all. Skye thought for a moment and nodded.
Since Jerry said there was something dangerous, there must be unknown things that they dont know. Besides, those ghosts couldnt deal with Hermiones magic, so they might as well leave it to Jerry to deal with it.
They told Jerry the detailed address of the hospital. As Jerry disappeared, Skye said to Hermione, There are no more missions. Lets continue practicing ourselves.
Good idea. Hermiones eyes lit up when she heard this.
At Hogwarts, points will be deducted for using magic to attack others. By improving her combat ability, she can make them look good the next time she meets those people who want to get near Jerry.
