Chapter 396: Enemies Everywhere
Stark lowered his head, supported his head with his hands, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before stabilizing his emotions and continuing: "In the battle of the Twist Contract, those of us with extraordinary abilities gathered together to fight against the alien army, and then went our separate ways.
Although several of us formed the Avengers, we still did our own things, including me, I don't know what the Avengers can do. Fight crime on the streets, an army of aliens, or superpowers? ”
Stark's words echoed in the room, and all three of them were silent, this question has been in everyone's minds since Stark started the team of the Avengers, the Avengers were pulled up by Nick Fury because Loki stole the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
After the Battle of New York, this temporary team was disbanded, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow were in S.H.I.E.L.D., Thor returned to Asgard, even if Stark re-pulled up the Avengers, but this civilian team was actually scattered.
Grell lives in his castle and occasionally visits Stark's base; Banner longs to be in the lab twenty-four hours a day, hungry for new knowledge that has been lost nearly a decade; Parker has to work as a Spider-Man and fall in love in his spare time at school and in his spare time, and he is very busy; Even Stark didn't care much about the team he pulled up, and was busy with his own company, steel suits, etc.
The biggest reason for this is that they are grouped together, just because they don't want to be 'killed alone', and Banner's situation is a lesson from the past: what happens if the military is interested in you?
With such an example in the past, how could others not be worried, heroes wear masks to protect their loved ones, but Nick Fury's wave of summoning orders let Parker and Banner know that disguise and hiding are nothing at all in the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Therefore, after the Battle of the Covenant, Parker, Banner, and their group of pure poor people with no background, power, and money, gathered under the banner of Stark, and gathered together for such a purpose, naturally no one thought about what they could do together.
Even if Greer has always thought about what the Avengers have been thinking about when they gather to fight Thanos and investigate AIM, it is what he wants to do, not what the Avengers do.
Not to mention Parker, who spends most of his time in class, falling in love with Gwen in his spare time, and going out to do chivalrous deeds from time to time.
If Stark hadn't given Parker a job as an intern at Stark Industries, I'm afraid Parker would have to devote more than half of his spare time to work, he can be said to be the busiest person in the Avengers, and he is also the youngest, how could he think about the future of the Avengers.
Therefore, Stark is now solemnly talking about the question of 'what can the Avengers do', and none of the three people on the other side answered, no one thought about it, and naturally no one could answer this very important and complicated question.
Stark didn't ask aggressively, giving Grell, Banner, and Daisy a buffer in time, and the room fell silent.
This silence lasted for two or three minutes before Stark himself broke it, and continued to say in the tone he had just said: "A few days ago, we fought a one-sided war in Miami, and my steel suit was easily torn apart, and I almost didn't die there.
At that time, I felt like I was back in that dark cave two years ago, and my life was in the hands of someone else, and they could kill you with their hands, which was a bad feeling, no, I should say terrible. ”
Stark looked up and took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I have barely slept well in the past few days, and it is him who closes his eyes, and tears my steel suit with a wave of his hand. I couldn't sleep, so I got up and worked, trying to make a stronger steel suit to fight him. ”
"He's supposed to be a Man-sama, lasers, cryonics, including the spirit of disturbing Hulk's sanity, are all skills of the ten rings on his hand." Grell finally spoke, "During the battle, he once mentioned the word 'qi', which is a bit like Thor's divine power, qi can give him extremely strong strength, speed or defense. ”
"Gas? Power? Stark turned his head to look at Greer and asked, "Thor's Asgard has many gods, so how many people have mastered 'qi'?" ”
"This..."Grell thought for a while, flipped through his memory, and finally shook his head: "I don't know, Lord Man just mentioned 'qi' to me, what it is, I'm not sure." ”
"Here's the problem," Stark spread his hands and said very seriously, "This world is full of too many mysteries and unknowns, gods, supernatural beings, magicians, aliens, and now there is another power called 'qi', oh, and the military's super soldier program."
"There should also be your steel suit." Banner interjected.
Stark nodded and continued, "Ordinary people are too weak compared to these superhumans. As he spoke, Stark took out his mobile phone, grabbed both ends and pulled it out, revealing a palm-sized, thin paper-like screen, pressed it on the TV, the standby TV turned on, and played the information on Stark's mobile phone.
The TV screen shows the boundless complex of buildings, and in these tall and low buildings, there is a large unsightly scarf, and when you look closely, it is a barren place composed of a large area of ruins and deep and shallow holes, and a large number of construction machinery can be faintly seen shuttling back and forth.
Stark pointed to the TV screen and said, "Miami, which was once a bustling residential area, is now in ruins. As he spoke, Stark pressed a button on his phone again, and the screen flashed, transforming into Manhattan, Chinatown, Flushing...
The picture locations that change one after another are all places where Kamen Rider, Iron Man, Hulk, and others have fought. The damage caused by each battle is extremely widespread, and the solid reinforced concrete can be described as fragile in front of them, not to mention the more fragile human beings, who are simply killed and wounded.
Looking at the picture played by Stark, Grell couldn't help frowning, he didn't understand what Stark was trying to say, this scene was a little familiar, it seemed that in the movie "American Team 3", Secretary of State Ross also showed such a destruction image to the Avengers, and then dropped a book of "Treaty of Sokovia" as thick as a sea of words.
Without waiting for Grell to ask, Stark took the lead in explaining: "These places are all places where we used to fight with those people with extraordinary strength, in just two years, there have been so many super criminals, the past and the future may not lack their figures, the past is gone, but we can participate in the future." ”
Dr. Banner scratched his head and said, "So your idea is that the Avengers of superhumans will deal with criminals with superhuman powers?" ”
Stark nodded, pressed the button on the phone again, and converted the picture on the TV into a picture of the Manchurian taken by Mark17 in the battle, trying to hold back the inexplicable 'fear' in his heart, and said: "I think in Miami, everyone has also seen the strength of the Manchurian adult, and he is not his opponent at all with one person." Is he the only criminal with such super strength? The enemy is not only on Earth, but beyond Earth..."
"Like Loki of Asgard!" Daisy interjected.
Stark's index finger nodded at Daisy and said, "But is there only one bad guy in Asgard, Loki?" Is there only one extraterrestrial civilization outside of Earth, Asgard? Remember what Nick Fury said about the earth-shattering battle that took place thirty years ago? ”
As soon as Stark's words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help but glance at Grell who was sitting on the sofa, which made Grell spread his hands helplessly, and said: "Don't look at me, I'm also confused, and I don't remember a little memory of that battle." ”
"So it's not impossible or unlikely for an alien army to invade Earth," Dr. Banner stood up, pacing around the sofa with his arms crossed, and said, "The Avengers have extraordinary strength, and when the Earth is facing a crisis, it is natural to be the first line of defense. ”
Daisy spoke, "Maybe it's the last line of defense." ”
"And there are a lot of things worth thinking about on Earth, such as the artifact left by Loki - the scepter that can attack and control people, the shield making material that is so hard that it can be hit by Thor's hammer without damage - vibranium, and..." Grell almost didn't stop the car, and hurriedly talked about the others: "There are enemies not only from this universe, but also the existence of the Twisting Temple, the Xiangjiang Temple, and the London Temple, which is to defend against powerful creatures from other dimensions and invade the earth." ”
"Other dimensions?" Stark and Banner's eyes lit up almost at the same time, and they suddenly became interested, the existence of other dimensions has always existed in mathematical models and formulas, and no evidence has been found to prove the existence of other dimensions, but now Grell actually said that there are creatures in other dimensions, which is what every scientist wants to know.
"I remember I said before that in Asgard's world system, the nine kingdoms are nine different spaces, and the universe is made up of countless spaces," Greer thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this, whether the other dimensions are different spaces, I'm not sure, but the existence of the three major temples is indeed to defend against attacks from other dimensions." ”
"Have you seen it?" Stark asked him and Banner the question that mattered most, after all, if they had actually seen it, they would be able to describe what other dimensions looked like, which was very important to science.
"Of course, the space door I often use is actually borrowing other dimensions to achieve space jumps, and the mirror space, which is a projection space attached to the main world. By the way, in the Asgardian system, the concept of dimensions is not the same as the earth, I don't know the specifics, I only stayed in Asgard for a few months, and they didn't open the Asgardian library to me. ”
Listening to Greer's words, Stark's worries deepened, now not only aliens from the universe, but also creatures from other dimensions, the idea of hitting the earth, and what other dimensions are like, there is no concept at all, how to deal with it?
Banner let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "I suddenly feel that ignorance is actually a kind of happiness, and I don't know so much, so I don't have so many worries." Dr. Banner felt that he was indeed a piece of fat in the dark jungle, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him, eager to pounce on him and take a bite.
He somewhat understood Stark's feelings, this kind of death crisis faced all the time, people really couldn't sleep well.
"Maybe this is the duty of our Avengers, to protect this planet, to be the first and last line of defense for the people living on this planet," Stark turned off the picture on the TV, put his phone in his pocket, stood up, and said: "Everything is like Parker often said, 'the greater the power, the greater the responsibility', we all have the ability that ordinary people can't do, what should we do for this world, we should stand up for this world at a critical juncture, and fight for people." ”
"I agree with that, since you have this power, you should do something." Grell nodded, agreeing with Stark's words.
"Including the soldiers at the special base that rescued Rose?" Daisy poured cold water on this point and rehashed the question Stark had said when he first arrived.
Stark met the eyes of the three people, nodded slowly, and said, "I still said the same when I came, Rose's mistakes should not be borne by the soldiers, and there are still people at home waiting for them to go back." I begged in the cave for someone to come and save me, and now the soldiers must be begging in the same way. If you don't have this ability, that's it, if you do, if you don't do it, you will never be able to feel at ease. It had nothing to do with Ross or his conditions, it was just something to do as a human being. ”
Stark's steel suit was dismantled without resistance, which filled his heart with fear, and a person was defeated in the most proud place, and Grell saw the power of the combination of different abilities, and the various abilities of the Manchurian were converted and even combined at will, and he easily defeated Greel, who surpassed him in a single ability

President Ellis
The Manchurian wanted to take advantage of Mandarin's popularity and be his stand-in to control this puppet to call for war in the Middle East, causing chaos in the Middle East, monopolizing oil, and global energy skyrocketing, Stark and Osborne became a hit. As a result, the Osborne Group actually developed an artificial sun, which was stolen by Hydra and copied the artificial sun in Sokovia to become Ortron Energy
Stark deliberately made Rhodes wear a Mark2 with trackers on the internal parts in order to see who would steal his technology, and thus tracked down Rongke Industries
