At this moment, Moon Knight and the Defenders fighting in other areas were quite surprised. Typhoid Mary and Lady Bullseye had chosen to retreat, leaving a vacant front line to them.
This made the Defenders feel very strange. Moon Knight was fine; he simply gave chase quickly and hacked his way forward. However, the three Defenders did not have it that easy. They rapidly located Cloak, who was bound somewhere, as an immense amount of dark energy surged from his body and shot into the sky.
"What should we do? We don't even know how the Hand trapped him here, or how they managed to trigger his power to become like this."
Luke Cage looked helplessly at Dagger, Cloak's partner. Dagger hesitated slightly before speaking: "Maybe I can try to pull him out. My power can ensure his stability within the Darkforce Dimension..."
"Better not do that."
Iron Fist's voice interrupted them, and the three turned to see Iron Fist and Ghost Rider appearing behind them. Iron Fist then walked over to Cloak's side, his brows tightly knit. "Pulling him out won't change the current crisis. The key lies in dissipating the released shadow energy. Even if Cloak is freed, this energy won't be resolved."
"I can neutralize this energy. My power and Tyrone's are opposites."
Dagger offered a solution, but let alone the more professional Iron Fist, even Luke Cage and Jessica, who knew nothing about it, understood that this definitely wouldn't fully resolve the issue. Given how much energy Cloak had released, how could she possibly neutralize it all?
Ghost Rider looked at Cloak and had no solution either, only offering a suggestion: "In that case, why not just find someone more professional to solve this problem, like the Sorcerer Supreme or something?"
"But we need to break the binding of Shadowland first before we can go look for those people, otherwise it's all for nothing..."
Speaking to this point, Iron Fist realized something was amiss. "Wait, were you in Hell's Kitchen before?"
"Of course not. I was pulled in by someone. At least for now, it seems this so-called Shadowland can't completely cut off teleportation."
Ghost Rider shrugged as he spoke. "Alright, if you want to keep staying here, I have no objections, but I'm leaving first. See ya."
Meanwhile, on the other side, facing a large number of enemies of unknown origin and the impending ritual, Gorgon felt the future looking increasingly bleak. If he had known today would turn out like this, he should have cast a divination before taking action. Why was he so unlucky?
As Gorgon thought this, he arrived at the main pavilion of the Keep. Here, several elders of the Hand from Japan were surrounding Elektra's corpse, prepared to resurrect her. At this moment, Gorgon looked very tense, and he could also hear that Matt's heartbeat was exceptionally rapid.
He quietly located Lady Bullseye, who had fought against the Defenders, and asked her in Japanese, "Did you find the person?"
"No, we were stopped by three spider-powered individuals from SHIELD."
What did she mean by three spider-powered individuals from SHIELD? Since when did SHIELD have so many spider-powered people? Were Spider-Men being wholesale distributed now?
Gorgon frowned. Concerned that Matt might know Japanese, he didn't explicitly state whom he was looking for. In truth, it was the final Defender, "Mister Negative" Martin Li.
Mister Negative's ability could maximize the polarization of the other side within a person's heart. Whether it was used to plunge Daredevil further into corruption or to make Cloak unfold a larger scale of Shadowland, it was a highly critical step.
He originally thought that as long as he struck without anyone knowing, coupled with the Hand's numerical advantage, he would be able to capture Mister Negative. He hadn't expected the people from SHIELD to be lying in wait there!
Come to think of it, why would SHIELD be at that location?
Thinking of this, Gorgon also thought of Spider-Man, who shouldn't have appeared here today but came anyway. This made him feel even more uneasy; one surprise after another made him feel that something had gone wrong somewhere.
Fortunately, it was all about to end.
With the tightening of the front lines, more and more members of the Hand appeared here, shielding the others in the center. Soon, the Defenders besides Cloak and Dagger, along with Ghost Rider, arrived. Upon discovering Ghost Rider, Gorgon was stunned yet again.
Who was this guy?
"Hey, help me stop this guy! What kind of psycho is this!"
Typhoid Mary shouted from behind as she quickly ran over. Seeing this scene, Gorgon frowned. He didn't recognize Moon Knight either, just like Ghost Rider. Where had all these people popped up from?
"Looks like it's quite lively here, lively beyond imagination."
Peter arrived late, finally reaching the scene. He discovered that quite a few people outside of his expectations had appeared, while Fury's side still had no idea what they were doing. He landed in front of everyone with a flip, then scratched his head. "So, do we fight next?"
Seeing this scene, Gorgon shouted anxiously, "Daredevil!"
"I promised him that by becoming the leader of the Hand, I would guide the Hand to the correct path... Furthermore, he promised me he would resurrect Elektra."
"Do you really believe his nonsense, Matt?!"
Iron Fist followed Jessica's interrogation, saying, "Resurrecting the dead comes with a massive price, which perhaps far exceeds the benefits brought by the resurrection. Right now, you still have a chance to stop all of this."
Gorgon sneered. In fact, he had already told Daredevil all of these things, and precisely because of this, Daredevil instead trusted him even more, deepening his firm conviction. These words of yours cannot stop him.
"It's already too late, the resurrection ritual has already begun."
Matt stopped halfway through his sentence, suddenly changing his tone. "Furthermore... it's impossible for them to succeed."
Gorgon's smile suddenly froze as he looked at Matt in disbelief. Then he heard the exclamation of the elder behind him: "We can't find this woman's soul."
"A person who isn't dead—of course you can't find her soul. Besides, if I didn't agree to your terms, how would these guys who know black magic show themselves?"
Matt's interrogation left the others completely unresponsive. Gorgon immediately gritted his teeth, preparing to pull out the Norn Stone to escape, only to find that the Norn Stone was missing as well.
"Are you looking for this?"
Peter produced Gorgon's Norn Stone and asked in return, "Unluckily for you, I have a friend who is very good at shoplifting. You guys don't have a single Norn Stone left now."
