Immediately pull up the defense map of Queens! Fiona, contact the vampire hunters in New York—find out what the hell is going on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick turned a corner, and agents assigned to missions left the group to head to their own offices, while more people continued trailing behind him; Nick continued: “Who’s handling the Daywalker?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coulson, sir. Always Coulson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Transfer this task to Sharon. Have Coulson immediately liaise with Stark. If vampires truly declare war on humanity, we must mobilize our strongest resistance force at the fastest possible speed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha emerged from one of the offices and walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Nick; both moved swiftly, and the female agent said: “The Daywalker’s intelligence has been confirmed accurate—the monster is currently hovering above Queens…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Daywalker has shown strong willingness to cooperate. Should we bring him here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send him to the underground facility in Zone 2. For all these years, he’s refused to cooperate with us. Now that he’s changed his stance, this must be something major.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebirth: Financial Titan\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll arrange it immediately,” Natasha said. “There’s another issue—the Captain has already reached the battlefield and made initial contact with the monster, but we still need to plan the next phase of operations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have the combat teams prepare for immediate deployment. No matter what the vampires are doing, we must eliminate that monster first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha pulled out her phone and spoke into it: “Clint, how are you and Daisy prepared? The helicopter departs in twenty minutes—once you reach the target, report immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick continued assigning tasks as he walked, until he reached his office—Coulson was already waiting there. Coulson said: “I’ve contacted all available combat forces.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could continue, Hill entered and said: “Vampires are indeed moving, Director. I’ve reviewed their activity patterns over the past six months—all vampire clans along the East Coast are deliberately advancing toward New York…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nick’s most capable assistant, Hill spoke bluntly. She strode to the screen and activated the projection: “About a week ago, a firefight erupted at the border between Queens and Brooklyn—this vampire faction arrived in New York just a month ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Additionally, none of the 15 documented vampire attacks this month were carried out by New York-based vampires.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s responsible for monitoring this group’s movements?” Coulson asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now is not the time for assigning blame,” Nick said. “S.H.I.E.L.D.’s permissive stance toward vampires isn’t without reason. If possible, I’d love to drag them all out into the sun—but we all know that’s impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this is different,” Coulson said. “Our tolerance for vampires was based on their scattered, isolated attacks. If they truly intend to declare total war on humanity, we will respond with overwhelming force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Nick’s phone rang. He picked it up and said: “The Daywalker has arrived? Good. Don’t make any moves. Calm him down first—I’m on my way…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Coulson: “Go keep an eye on Stark… Wait, Hill—you go. Head to Stark Tower and make contact with Pepper. Phil, go to the mental clinic in Hell’s Kitchen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shields probably won’t intervene—he’s always publicly claimed to have no special abilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not asking him to fight vampires directly, Coulson. Haven’t you realized yet? We recruited him not for his powers, but for his mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to do anything. Just stay there and wait for my orders. If the situation changes, I’ll tell you exactly how to negotiate with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Coulson left, Nick quickly activated the elevator and headed to Zone 2 to meet the Blade Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he departed, lights throughout S.H.I.E.L.D. flared on rapidly; countless agents, receiving orders, sprang into action. The massive intelligence agency was fully operational within minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing an alien invasion, S.H.I.E.L.D.—with its unconventional personnel system—remained unified. After all, regardless of their affiliations, if vampires truly launched total war against humanity, all of them would have to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a dim underground reception room, Blade Warrior Eric heard footsteps approaching. As Nick opened the door, Eric stepped forward and shook his hand. Nick said: “Time is short—we’ll cut to the chase. First, we’re not interrogating you, but…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric said: “No more talk. I’ll tell you everything I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Listen, that giant bat monster has deep origins. You know vampires can transform into bats—that ability didn’t arise from nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t go into the occult lore surrounding vampire origins, but within their own ranks, there are divisions—this race has long debated their own origin story…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just as humans say, some believe vampires originated from the Bible, created by God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But another faction—I call them Bat Devotees—believe that deep in the cosmos, there exists a Bat Totem, and it is this Totem that grants vampires the power to transform into bats and drink blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The God-Worshippers and Bat Devotees have been locked in conflict. Naturally, the God-Worshippers have always been closer to humans—those who interact with human elites are mostly moderate God-Worshippers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They believe both humans and vampires are God’s creations, that we should be siblings. They’ve always been the restrained faction among vampires—many rules govern them: they oppose killing, accept frozen blood, and prefer to live hidden among humans, participating in human society.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have records on these people,” Nick said. “Some moderate vampires even come to us voluntarily to register. Many work in hospitals or blood banks—that’s why humans are reluctant to eradicate vampires en masse. Some are too deeply entwined with human society; mishandling them could trigger mass panic…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. But where there are moderates, there are radicals. Among vampires, there has always been an extremely radical faction—the ones who revere the Bat Totem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They believe Bat Totem devotees are inherently superior to ordinary humans, that as children of the Bat God, they are destined to rule over humanity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard rumors,” Nick said, sitting at the table and pouring himself a glass of water. “I know vampires have long tried to infiltrate human society. Can you elaborate on the Bat Totem? I suspect this bat monster is connected to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric crossed his arms. “You know my background—I’m not a full vampire. All my intelligence comes from my vampire hunter mentor. But I have a few friends among moderate vampires—they bring me the latest news from within their ranks…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of my friends works for the infamous Count Dracula. Recently, he sent me word: the radical faction, led by my enemy Deacon, is preparing to act.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve apparently received a prophecy through some ritual—that the power of the Bat God will descend upon New York. Whoever claims this power will become the new vampire leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know, everyone assumed this was just another lie concocted for power struggles—this sort of thing happens all the time…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, of course. Fabricate a vague prophecy, stir up minor disturbances—enough to pressure your rivals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now it seems things aren’t so simple,” Eric said, walking over and sitting down. He and Nick sat at opposite ends of the table, a flickering bulb hanging above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said: “In fact, this prophecy isn’t entirely false. From my investigation, they do have a ritual that summons a bat-like shadow—a shadow that grants vampires immense power, but at the cost of turning them into rabid bat monsters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through this ritual, they heard a voice instructing them to come to New York. I’m still trying to uncover the prophecy’s exact content, but so far I’ve gained nothing. What we do know is: the terrifying bat monster now hovering in the sky is the Bat God’s power manifesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ve got the backstory. Now the question is—how do we stop him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick pulled out a projector and played footage for Eric: Steve was chasing the bat monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick said: “It’s daytime. This bat isn’t afraid of sunlight, seems immensely strong, possesses special abilities, and more importantly—it appears to understand tactics, with intelligence comparable to a human’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I advise you not to use standard vampire-hunting methods against him. If he’s truly a product of the Bat God, he won’t have any of the usual vampire weaknesses. Treat him as a Class-Heavy monster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And more importantly…” Eric frowned. “This is a signal. It’s their declaration of total war against humanity. They want to welcome the Bat Totem’s descent and rule the world. You might handle this monster—but the vampires’ full-scale offensive is coming. You must prepare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up. “I’ll contact every vampire hunter I know, and moderate vampires who refuse to join the invasion. We’ll form a front—at least for now, we stand with you. Let those rabid bat monsters rot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick stood too. The two shook hands. Nick said: “The destruction of human society benefits no one. Use that to persuade them—if they still want to live in a thriving society, they must keep these beasts out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric nodded. Two black hands clasped together—marking the official beginning of the Bat Invasion.\u003C\u002Fp>",1534,"2026-06-20T16:39:12.484Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cea8a24a0be5bce3b5de2af1c6f0adcbe2adb935cd4ee4652052ac21df82bac1","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-125","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-123",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-cover.jpg"]
