This was originally an inconspicuous state in the Midwest of the United States.
If it weren¡¯t for a famous writer named Mark Twain, people¡¯s impression of it would almost entirely remain on farms, pastures, large virgin forests, and beautiful natural scenery.
But now, this place has become the focus of the world.
Whether it¡¯s the government, the military, S.H.I.E.L.D., which has just undergone a teardown and reconstruction, and the Avengers, they all gathered here to look at the dark blue unknown substance that swallowed up large areas of land, forests, buildings and roads.
"Obviously, these dark blue and mysterious substances with a faint light are nothing else. They are the plants that Ego planted back then, or they may be called his clones.
His initial purpose was very simple, which was to assimilate more planets by replicating a large number of his own cells, or even create people of the same kind as himself.
Because in his opinion, the vast majority of intelligent life in this universe are too low-level and disappointing, and are not qualified to coexist with them in the same world, so he wants to transform them according to his own will.
This aspect is very similar to Thanos.
Or in other words, many villains in the Marvel universe have similar characteristics.
That is, what they do is not for the pursuit of personal power, rights and desires, but for ideals and to create what they think is a better future.
But unfortunately, these seeds were only half activated, and Egg was eaten by Verna Lassus.
"The cells that have lost control remain in a semi-activated state, neither expanding nor contracting.
If attacked by the outside world, it will also release energy and explosions to fight back.
This kind of counterattack often produces the destructive power of tens of millions of tons of nuclear weapons explosion, so that even the US government does not know what to do and can only maintain the status quo temporarily.
After all, no matter how crazy those shameless politicians and bureaucrats are, they would not dare to trigger such strong explosions on their own land. If they accidentally trigger natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, it will be great fun.
You must know that the Washington government¡¯s previous brazen invasion of its northern and southern neighbors has caused unimaginable diplomatic, military and security pressure.
The border, which was originally not very fortified, now has to accumulate heavy troops to barely control vicious cases such as cross-border vendettas.
At the same time, after the inside story that SHIELD was completely penetrated and controlled by Hydra was exposed, the American people were in an uproar.
Operation Paperclip, which led to all this, has become the target of siege.
Suddenly, "McCarthyism", which once made countless people angry after hearing about it, reared its head again.
In order to cater to the extreme ideas of the people, various politicians have put forward their own radical ideas. Even the word "Great Purge" has appeared frequently in various campaign rallies and speeches.
Poor Justin Hammer and the Hammer Industries he founded were directly forcibly nationalized because they were too deeply involved with Hydra, and then reorganized their internal management, and finally were listed on the stock market by major chaebols. and Capital Group Acquisitions.
In contrast, Stark Industries, which has always been very stable internally, took advantage of this opportunity to expand wildly.
Now it has become the strongest multinational giant in the Americas, covering everything from energy to electronic products.
Although Iron Man¡¯s attitude toward the U.S. government and military is getting worse and worse, and he is even full of naked and undisguised contempt, these people still hold him up like an ancestor.
no way!
As the technology provided by Allen begins to enter the application field, the technological hegemony established by the United States since the end of World War II can no longer be maintained, and the decline of technological hegemony also means that military hegemony is crumbling, and military hegemony is the most important support for financial and monetary hegemony. Fulcrum.
The three complement each other, and the lack of any one will lead to the loss of the other two positions.
So even if it is for their own interests, they must serve Stark Industries carefully.
¡°Otherwise, once the willful Tony Stark announces that he will change his nationality, or travel to other countries with technology, these politicians, senior officials and capital groups may not even have a place to cry.
Especially the space war triggered by the Insight Project has allowed several powerful countries to see the development direction of future wars, and have launched their own space warship R&D and manufacturing plans.
As for the American plan, the most important energy sources and engines can only be produced by Stark Industries.
Of courseWhere are the magic apprentices I gave you during this time? "
"They have all been transferred by the International Security Council and plan to establish a separate department after identity checks."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Coulson's face became extremely ugly.
Because the International Security Council has made it clear that it no longer trusts SHIELD, let alone its management and leadership capabilities.
"All of them? None left for you?" Tony Stark's eyes widened in surprise.
Colson smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yeah! Not a single one was left. Not only that, they also prohibited me from conducting transactions and contacts with Sky City without authorization."
"This time Hydra's insight plan scared them a lot." Tony sneered and mocked.
"Anyway, let's find a way to deal with these unknown cells first. Based on the images captured by the satellite, we can conclude that the location where it first erupted was in the woods not far from a gas station on the road. From From start to stop, it only took a total of ten minutes to expand to the current floor area. Although it is not clear why it suddenly stopped, if it had not stopped, it would have been able to swallow the entire thing in up to twelve hours. Planet.¡±
While talking, Coulson took out his tablet from his pocket and showed Iron Man the entire process of this unknown cell explosion.
Staring at the images that continued to play on the screen, Tony frowned subconsciously: "Has Alesia come to see it?"
"Have seen it. She said it has nothing to do with magic. And since Mr. Allen has not returned yet, the Sky City is temporarily in a semi-closed state. Unless we are really in danger of extinction, they will not take action. "Colson hurriedly explained.
This is why he can still remain calm until now.
Since Sky City does not take action, it means that these blue cells will not continue to expand for the time being.
"Damn it! Where did that guy go? He hasn't come back after so long" Tony couldn't help but complain.
You must know that after Allen left, both the Wonder House and the grocery store were completely closed.
The important materials he used to make the magic version of the steel suit have now lost their sources.
If Thor hadn¡¯t brought a few pieces of Uru Kobelco, repairing it would have been a big problem.
"I have some guesses about this." Coulson lowered his voice and whispered in Iron Man's ear.
"Oh? What speculation!" Tony's eyes flashed with strong curiosity.
Colson looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he took a deep breath and said, "As far as I know, one of Lord Allen's companions entered the universe a few years ago and asked the three empires. One of the Kree Empire launched an attack. If nothing else, he may have gone to help destroy this powerful alien civilization."
"What?! The Kree Empire!" Tony's expression suddenly changed. "You meanthey launched a war that could affect the entire universe?"
"Yes! Their goal from the beginning was to destroy the Kree Empire. Because this civilization once came to the earth and even tried to enslave humans and turn the earth into their colony." Coulson rarely said something good for Allen .
After all, as an Earthling, he has no favorable impression of these blue-skinned and extremely strong alien invaders at all, and wishes they could all be killed as soon as possible.
Only in this way will the earth become safer.
"No! I mean, why didn't Allen call me for such an interesting thing?" Tony pointed at his nose and roared angrily.
This is a real space war!
As a member of the generation who grew up watching the Star Wars series, he is filled with various yearnings for the grand and gorgeous universe.
But now, he has missed such a rare opportunity. The pain and regret have simply made this proud Iron Man go crazy.
Just when Coulson wanted to say something to change the subject, a portal suddenly opened out of thin air.
Before the busy agents around him could react to what was happening, Allen's figure appeared directly in everyone's sight.
75zhon*g*wen*.com* ãá. Not only him, but also Mantis, who was extremely curious about her surroundings.
Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi. As for Verna Lasas, she had long since turned into a badge to completely hide herself.
After all, she is a giant red dragon. Even if she is reduced to the size of a palm, it will cause a series of troubles.
On the earth, dragons are not creatures that can be seen everywhere.
But after Verna Lasas hid, the attention of all the agents was immediately attracted to the tentacles on Mantis's forehead.
Especially senior agents who have come into contact with alien things instantly judged that this was a 100% alien creature, and they all pulled out their guns and got ready for battle
