Chapter 363 “Advantage”

Seeing that Jerry’s portal failed to open, everyone suddenly fell into despair.

“Jerry, can you use your magic to survive the missile bombing?” Coulson asked with sweat on his forehead.

He remembered that Jerry seemed to have a protective magic like an energy shield that could block the attacks of modern weapons.

Jerry thought about it, “I haven’t tried it, but if ten missiles bombed at the same time, it is estimated that I wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

Jerry’s Protego Charm is absolutely amazing, but the power of ten missiles bombing at the same time is too much for him to handle. If it’s like one or two, he might handle it, but if it’s like ten at the same time, it’s beyond what he can do.

Hearing Jerry’s answer, everyone fell silent.

Some are calm, some are guilty, some are remorseful, and some suddenly wake up and boldly do something, like Fitz. When he saw that the missile was coming in their direction, he suddenly felt that if he didn’t do anything, he would regret just standing here and not doing what he needed before he died.

“Jemma, I love you!”

Fitz threw away the device in his hand, walked quickly to Jemma, and after saying aloud what he had been hiding in his heart, he hugged Jemma.

Both Fitz and Jemma are typical scientists. Before being selected by Coulson, they spent most of their time researching in a laboratory. Over time, they fell in love, and they grew interested in each other before they knew it.

However, neither of them found out. They just thought they were good friends. This year, they went with Coulson frequently in the field, and after many times, the two finally gradually understood this in their hearts.

Now, when he was about to die, Fitz had the courage to take the initiative to make the first move.

At this time, ten huge missiles flying fast could be clearly seen in the air. Maybe in just a few seconds, the mountain where they are now will be destroyed to the ground.

“Although it may not be able to defend against it, but…”

Seeing Fitz and Jemma hugging each other, Jerry stopped, shook his head, turned around, picked up his wand, and pointed at the ten missiles that were already approaching.

With a powerful wave of magic power emanating from the wand, the ten missiles that were about to fall from the sky were suddenly fixed in the air.

Jerry is now using the time magic that has been researched.

Although Ancient One warned him that he could not use the Time Turner to open a new timeline, using time magic like now to stop the time is not a problem.

He could also use the Transfiguration Charm to turn the missile into something else directly, but the missile was too fast to aim and was ten pieces. His spell could only be cast one at a time since it cannot be performed at the same time.

So the best and safest way is to use time magic to stop the time where the missiles are located. It happened that he had learned a lot of knowledge beyond time magic from Ancient One.

Of course, in addition to time magic, there are many ways to avoid those missile attacks, such as directly opening the mirror dimension and pulling everyone into it. Even if a nuclear bomb explodes outside, it will not affect the mirror dimension.

Jerry had a lot of magic at his disposal to handle the situation now.

Seeing that Jerry used magic to stop the missile, Coulson and others were all greatly relieved. However, Fitz and Jemma were still hugging together.

But soon, the two opened their eyes suspiciously. They could sense that time had passed far more than ten seconds.

“Don’t worry. If you guys continued for more minutes, I wouldn’t even dare to interrupt.” Jerry joked.

Fitz and Jemma suddenly parted with flushed faces.

“Okay, what are we going to do now?” Coulson turned to look at Jerry and asked.

Jerry waved and called out to Norbert and Norsa, “I can’t keep the time in the area where the missile is. We’d better get out of the area where the explosion might be impacting.”

Time magic consumes a lot of magic. Even with Jerry’s current magic power, it cannot be maintained for a long time.

Coulson was on Norbert’s back, looking at the mountain below, which was hit by the missiles and was completely destroyed to the ground.

“Good thing that we parked the plane away from this location.”

“Let’s go down. Clairvoyant should be inside.” Jerry pointed to the steel-built underground base exposed after it was blown up.

The base established by the Clairvoyant is obviously not on the mountain but deep below the mountain. The ten missiles just blew up the area, and the underground bases suffered little damage.

After landing and putting away the two fire dragons, Jerry removed the owl. Sure enough, the owl immediately flew with the envelope in front of a metal door that seemed to lead to the ground.

“Alomohora.” The spell opened the metal door, and Jerry followed the owl down a staircase toward the location of Clairvoyant.

Before they could go far, a siren suddenly sounded throughout the corridor. Jerry didn’t care either and continued to follow the owl forward.

He cast a stun spell to knock the guards unconscious when he encountered them. In less than five minutes, they came to a huge warehouse. At this time, there was a supersonic aircraft, the one that S.H.I.E.L.D. made, ready to take off.

“Don’t let him escape Jerry!” Coulson shouted at Jerry as the plane took off.

“Don’t worry. He can’t run.”

Seeing the owl in his hand, eager to catch the plane, Jerry understood that Clairvoyant should have spotted their intrusion, so he wanted to escape on the plane.

Jerry’s wand pointed, and a wind flew out. It swayed up the plane that had been slowly taking off and then slammed into the wall on the right side of the warehouse. The strong impact caused the entire right wing of the plane to break off, making it impossible to take off in a normal way.

After a while, more than 20 soldiers walked out of the supersonic plane that was unable to take off, and the middle-aged agent also walked out of the plane.

Coulson was shocked when he saw the middle-aged agent showing a completely unbelievable look, “John Garrett?!”

“Hey, my old buddy Coulson. Reminding me of when we learned tactical skills under Fury and performed missions together. Isn’t this a wonderful reunion?” Garrett wiped his forehead.

“You bastard, you’re Clairvoyant! Have you forgotten the oath we swore to enter the agency? When he finds out about this, fury will definitely wring your head off with his own hands!” Listening to Garrett’s words, Coulson has fully confirmed that the friend who had died in the past is the real “Clairvoyant”.

No wonder that Clairvoyant knows everything about them, knowing he’s part of the agency and could send missiles to this location.

He has always suspected the organization planted a spy in S.H.I.E.L.D. but never imagined that its leader, Clairvoyant, was one of his most trusted friends.

In the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., the ones that had the level 8 clearance were Victoria Hand, John Garrett, and himself, who had just been promoted after the Battle of New York.

Even Black Widow, Hawkeye, Sitwell, and May are now a level below him.

“Come on now, Coulson. S.H.I.E.L.D. is already an empty shell. Do you think I’m the only one here? As for those oaths, it’s ridiculous, and Fury is just a megalomaniac. Coulson, bring your team and that Wizard to join us. Why cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D.? You can get everything with us. Money, women, a strong body, and even immortality. It’s not impossible for us to gain that.”

Garrett didn’t get angry at Coulson but laughed and opened his hands as if trying to convince everyone.

Coulson spits out a mouthful of saliva on the ground, expressing his disdain, but Jerry doesn’t even look at Garrett. For Jerry, whether it is Clairvoyant, Hydra, or S.H.I.E.L.D., they can’t give him anything useful.

With his current ability, as long as he wants money, he can get it easily. As for those miscellaneous things, Jerry doesn’t need it at all. He has a long life and has so many powerful abilities.

The only benefit that they can bring is red stars.

Now Clairvoyant and Hydra belong to the evil forces. If he gets rid of them, he will earn a lot of red stars. This is mainly why he works with S.H.I.E.L.D. If one day, S.H.I.E.L.D. becomes an evil force. He will be the one that will take care of it.

Therefore, Garrett’s words have no appeal to him.

Seeing that his speech had no effect, Garrett was not surprised but smiled, “It seems that there is nothing to talk about. Don’t blame me for being so cruel, Ward!”

As Garrett’s voice fell, Grant quickly turned his gun to the back of Jerry’s head.

“Don’t move, don’t talk, don’t try to use any magic, or I’ll shoot your head right away.”

“Grant, what are you doing? Put down the gun.” Seeing Grant aimed the muzzle at Jerry, Coulson and the others immediately changed their expressions.

A guilty look flashed across Grant’s face, and then he replied coldly, “I’m sorry, but I have to do it.”

“Colson, did you forget? Grant was the agent I specially recruited back then, and he has always been on my side.” Garrett laughed.

They knew everything about Coulson’s team, their position, and everything because there was a mole in his team.

Coulson’s team is nothing to them. They kept Grant in it to give more insider reports for Clairvoyant. Even if they were here, they obviously had the upper hand. But their plan was hindered because of Jerry.

He didn’t want to conflict with the Wizard because there was too much uncertainty. But since he can’t escape, he can only try to fight. Garrett said all of those words to distract Coulson and the others while taking advantage of Jerry, who didn’t know anything.

The Wizard is powerful, but he is prone to some weakness

With the quantum equipment at the base is still running, and he cannot teleport away. They also found the Wizard has the biggest weakness. Every time he releases magic, he must use the wand in his hand to do it, and his mouth needs to recite the spell to cast something fully.

Therefore, as long as he can gain the trust of the Wizard, walk up behind him, and subdue him before he has time to cast magic, there is a high probability that he will no longer be able to use anything.

Just like now, a gun was put on his head. As long as he dared to move or say a word, Grant would blow his head off with one shot.

“Grant, wake up. Think about those missile attacks just now. He didn’t even care about you!” Skye persuaded loudly.

When Grant heard the words, a complicated look was removed from his face, but he did not put down the gun in his hand, “Skye, I’m sorry. I love this team, and I love getting along with everyone. Coulson, Jemma, May, Fitz, you’re all great people. However, I owe Garrett more than I could with my life.”

Grant likes Skye and the feeling of being in Coulson’s team, but Garrett’s kindness to him is much more, and he has to repay it.

He was born into a very poor family. His father liked to abuse him, and his mother didn’t love him.  Ultimately, he couldn’t bear the feeling of it, choosing to kill his family and run away.

Garrett found him, took him like a son, trained, developed his potential, and made him what he is now.

Deep in his heart, he actually knew that Garrett might just use him as a tool, but if Garrett hadn’t taken care of him a long time ago, he might have committed suicide back then.

“Inject all of them with anesthesia. Inject the Wizard three times the amount of the normal dose. Some of you stay here and send the Wizard to Baron Wolfgang. He’ll be interested in what we have here.”

Seeing that Grant’s trump card played a role, Garrett felt he was winning and ordered the soldiers beside him to take some tools off the plane and walk towards Jerry and the others.

“Baron Wolfgang, huh? Coulson, do you know who that is?”

However, at this moment, an inquiring voice came from the right of Coulson’s side. Everyone turned their heads to look and were surprised to find that Jerry’s figure slowly appeared in the empty place to the right of Coulson.

The Jerry that Grant pointed to with the gun disappeared. It turned out that when Grant showed his hostility to Jerry, he had already noticed it in advance, quickly left a clone in place, and went to the side.

With his current level of magic, he could cast spells without a wand and silently a long time ago. He also had the magic ring from the world of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”.

The reason why every time he casts magic, he has to take out his wand and wave it twice and recite the spell aloud is to mislead those potential enemies.

“Impossible!” Garrett saw Jerry appear next to Coulson, and his face changed suddenly.
