25. Codename "Onika" (below)

Lex. The "guests" that Luthor waits for are the Onika Protocol, the first pilots of these super-sized combat robots.

Their ingredients are not complicated.

Among this team are former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Natasha and Barton, as well as two lively girls.

All of them are people who have proven their talent for driving large machines in their previous experiences.

"I've heard that the Onenica Protocol was first proposed by Uncle Merlin?"

In the assembly hall of the Voskaya Industrial Zone, the former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in blue and white mechanical pilot uniforms sit on the steps, and this cute girl is playing with a game console in her hand.

Miss Song Hana, the ace driver, raised her head, and she looked at the mechanical giants in front of her who were being assembled.

She whispered to Agent Natasha, who was wearing a black combat uniform beside her:

"I've also heard that this plan was originally vetoed by the fierce Uncle Fury."

"Huh? Who do you listen to? ”

Natasha, the black widow who was bored and leaning against the wall, waiting for the time to come, glanced at Song Hana's little sister, and she asked suspiciously:

"These things are classified now, only agents above level 8 know about it, did Coulson tell you?"

"It's not!"

Her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly shook her head in denial.

But how could this change in expression be hidden from the black widow, the agent lady pursed her lips, and she said to Song Hana:

"Well, I guess I know. But in fact, it's nothing, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is all old things, and these past things are not impossible to talk about. ”

"If you're interested, I'll tell you about it, anyway, I'm idle now."

"Tell me, Sister Natasha, I want to hear it too."

Another girl's voice interjected.

A member of the Overwatch Squad Reserve, the Grand Arms Dealer Tobiang. Lindholm's baby daughter, Brigitta with her hair tied up and in a driver's suit. Miss Lindholm had her hands behind her back.

Her little face was full of pleasant expressions listening to gossip.

She blinked her big eyes and said to Natasha:

"My dad also told me that if it weren't for Merlin's original plan, the Onenica Group would have been doomed a long time ago, what is going on with this mysterious and mysterious agreement?"

"The Oneika Agreement, it's actually quite complicated to say."

The Black Widow shrugged, she folded her arms, leaned against the wall, and looked at the giant robot in front of her, nearly a hundred meters, weighing more than thousands of tons.

She reminisced about the past and whispered:

"But its origins are not mysterious, it started out as a battle plan submitted by Merlin to deal with the threat of the Cybertrons."

"In Raven's original vision, these giant robots were meant to form an absolute suppression of Cybertron's mechanical life in terms of strength and defense."

"And we're going to use the special abilities of the Tinder Source to give them the chance to become real mechanical beings."

"But then a lot happened, S.H.I.E.L.D. was much more powerful, we didn't need these bulky robots, we could defeat the Cybertrons, and we also had support from the Cybertron faction, so this plan was shelved permanently."

Speaking of which, Black Widow glanced at Lex, who was standing not far away. Luther.

She said:

"But no one expected that S.H.I.E.L.D. would collapse later, and we would cut off all of Hydra's heads and bury that organization in history at the cost of our own death."

"At that time, the World Security Council had always planned to dismantle the Oneika consortium, because it had always had an ambiguous relationship with the 'remnants' of S.H.I.E.L.D., that is, us."

"This business has survived to this day because after the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., Lex. Luthor used a lot of capital to fight in the shadows to preserve it. ”

"This covert political and financial confrontation continued until a few months ago, after the end of the Atlantis War, Luthor submitted a secret document to the World Security Council."

"And the name of that document is 'The Onica Agreement.'"

Black Widow shrugged her shoulders and said:

"As for its content, it's actually a change of soup and not a change of medicine, which is the same as Merlin's original plan, but the threat to deal with has shifted from the Cybertrons to the Titans and other unstable factors."

"The World Security Council consulted with the experts of the Imperial Organization, who gave a definite answer, so the agreement was implemented."

Black Widow blinked, and she said to the two curious babies beside her:

"That's all there is to the story."

"It's not as mysterious as you think, it's not as magical as the outside world says, it's more, it's actually the result of a game of several forces."

"Just imagine, if the Titans attack human civilization, how can we resist? Is it just by superheroes? ”

"Of course not, the higher-ups don't trust the heroes, this is the political instinct for individual power instincts, and the official needs to master the military power that can fight the Titans."

Hawkeye, who was playing with the dagger behind Natasha, joined the discussion, and he continued:

"Luthor and Serizawa teamed up to render the future, so that the World Security Council finally lifted the restrictions on the Oneika Consortium, and the resources of the Imperial Organization were replenished, which is a win-win result."

"But I guess no one expected that this agreement, which sounded fantastical at the beginning, would really come in handy one day."

The truth revealed by Black Widow and Hawkeye disappoints both Brigitta and Brigitte.

This mystery does not meet the expectations of the girls for legends and conspiracies at all, and it is completely a political game.

But just as Black Widow had finished speaking, Luther, who had been standing not far away and listening, suddenly turned back and said to them:

"You've done a good job, Miss Natasha, but there's one most important thing you haven't said."

"Is the essence of the Oneica Protocol really just to build advanced robots and imitate primitive people to fight? No, it's not so shallow, folks, what it represents is the attitude of human civilization towards other civilizations. ”

"It's not just the Titans, but the aliens, the aliens, and so on. The world is complicated, and under the surface of peace, the brutal competition between civilizations has never stopped. ”

"Humanity wants to maintain its place on the food chain of civilization, and even wants to gain a higher status and become a civilization at the top of the food chain."

Luthor pointed to the giant robot in front of him, which was almost ready, and said:

"All you see are robots that can be replicated indefinitely. But what I see is the choice that human civilization has made under heavy pressure, and that is why the Oneica Agreement was passed. ”

"What we have in front of us is our future."

In an emotional voice, Luthor said:

"The Cult of the Mechanicus has been preaching the concept of 'Extoxion,' and I'm not interested in the blind and fanatical worship of machines."

"But I have to say that in their theories, the theoretical description of 'collective evolution' brought about by 'individual evolution' is very wonderful."

"Humanity needs to evolve!"

"There is no doubt about this, but how we choose this path is really worth thinking about, maybe in the future, we will really achieve 'mechanical ascension', maybe we will choose a gentler way..."

"But anyway, we're already on this path."

"You, and I, we are the forerunners."

"If human civilization wants to prove its control over the earth, it must show the power in its hands, and superheroes are the way to show individual power."

"The fighting machine made by the Oneika Protocol is a manifestation of the strength of our group! We sharpen our minions with machinery, we forge our armor with metal, we arm our souls with knowledge. ”

Luthor clenched his fingers, his tone became cold, and he said:

"To become a legend, you have to start by defeating the legend, this time we will rely on the power of civilization to defeat those exotic monsters, and then defeat the tyrannical Titans!"

"We will prove the weight of civilization by force, and this is only the beginning of the 'Oneica Agreement'!"

"Merlin's choice of the word 'Onika' as a code name is really good."

"It means 'omnipotent', and I like this interpretation, our civilization, which will eventually become omnipotent on its own!"

"Wait! Bald uncle! ”

Just after Luthor had finished her "effervent" speech, the first one who fell into a stupor jumped up and shouted:

"I thought we were just going to help the Titans fight monsters! Are we still going to fight Titans? Aren't they good guys? ”

Song Hana's question was not answered by Luther, and the bald wise man did not even bother to answer this childish question.

Natasha, who was standing next to her, reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder, and she said:

"Unfortunately, little girl, Luthor is right. In the grand scheme of things, the existence of the Titans is not good for civilization, they live in this world with us, and it is impossible to keep in touch with each other. ”

"You can like the Titans on a personal level, but on a higher level, between humans and Titans, there has to be a choice, and it's really important who is more advanced in the food chain of civilization..."

"But... But didn't they protect us? ”

Song Hana was a little unacceptable for a while, she looked at the giant robots in front of her who were about to be driven by herself to fight the extraterritorial monsters, she clenched her fists and said:

"I've seen the documents, Godzilla in 1994, didn't he protect us?"

"It's protecting the world, not us."

Agent Barton, who had not spoken, looked up and pushed the purple goggles, and said to the simple girl:

"This is a big premise, we and the Titans are both to protect this world, so the confrontation between us and the Titans will not become as cruel as life and death."

"But you should also remember that a few years ago, Leviathan also attacked the West Coast, and if it weren't for the heroes who dispatched in time, I'm afraid that one day, the entire West Coast would have killed and injured nearly a million people."

"Girl, I believe that the world is beautiful and should not be ridiculed, but as a former member of S.H.I.E.L.D., you should really use your brain more when you think about problems."

Song Hana bit her lip, she still wanted to argue, but Brigitta grabbed her wrist, and Hammer shook her head.

This controversy is doomed to be fruitless.

The philosophies of both sides are different, but at least for now, both sides are acting in unison.

The time for small talk passed quickly, and two hours later, along with the last heavy outer deck, was fixed to the robot's chest by Magneto Jr. with a magnetic field.

The first batch of combat robots of the Oneika Protocol has been officially assembled.

There are 6 assembled super mechs in the Voskaya Industrial Park, and the same number of weapons of war have been assembled in the other three Daxing Industrial Parks in the world.

This is just the first batch.

According to the agreement submitted by Luthor and Dr. Serizawa, the second batch of war mechs will be assembled after a maximum of 10 hours, but the pilot is a big problem.

So the second batch of mechs is likely to use the mode of artificial intelligence manipulation.

Then you'll have to come out of the Mechanic God Cult that specializes in this way.

Although the human side is also wary of the rise of intelligent machines, the relationship between intelligent machines and humans is obviously more complex, which can be called "internal contradictions".

In the current situation, it is more in the interests of both sides to unanimously communicate with the outside world.

"Enter the combat position!"

Luther, who had changed into a black combat uniform, held a mechanical helmet and waved her hand to the four people in front of her, while Natasha looked left and right, and she said to Luther:

"There are only five of you, and there are six weapons here... Someone else didn't come? ”

"No, he's already here, it's just that you're chatting so happily that you don't notice."

Luthor put on his mechanical helmet and pointed to the black-painted mech with a bat-like emblem on its head at the very edge.

In the cockpit that folded up, there was already a ready pilot on standby.

"Batman..."

Black Widow looked at Luthor as he boarded the elevator in surprise, and said:

"You really have the means, you can invite people who are so difficult to get along with."

A smile appeared on Luther's lips, but he didn't say anything.

After the elevator ascended to the cockpit, the bald wise man stepped into the cockpit, took a deep breath, and lay flat on a platform that closely matched human physiology.

With the blue light above the helmet, Luthor's spirit was improvised in a coded way into the massive robot's control center.

This is the soul coding technology of the Cult of the Mechanical God, if it weren't for Merlin, the glasses girl wouldn't have shared the core technology so generously.

Of course, these soul encoders are all produced in the wasteland, and the structure of the internal encapsulation cannot be solved by relying on the current human technology.

In the sting of the mental makeover, Luthor felt as if his consciousness had been transferred to the body of the giant war robot that was 94 meters tall and weighed more than 4,000 tons, and had been shaped like a medieval knight.

I felt this way when I was training before.

But this is the first time in real combat.

This feeling was quite strange, Luthor couldn't help but stretch out his hand, moving his five fingers, and in the case of mental manipulation, the blue robot he controlled was also very flexible to lift its arm weighing hundreds of tons.

In the sound of heavy mechanical collisions, it moves its fingers like a real human.

"Bang"

The deck above the assembly hall in the Voskaya industrial area opened quickly, revealing a gloomy sky with gray clouds in it.

It's a good weather to go to!

Behind the six war machines are a mechanical structure that resembles a rocket launcher, accompanied by the ignition of the large Ark reactor engine provided by Stark Industries.

Amid the cacophony of the cacophony of energy turbine engines, the jet devices behind these massive weapons of war begin to accumulate.

"Everyone..."

Luthor's voice rang out in the communication channels of the six war machines, and he was quite excited, saying:

"Today is our first battle, and it will be the one that is destined to go down in history."

"30 seconds later, the Onenika Agreement, the first phase of combat missions, officially began! Mission Goal, Extraterritorial Monsters! Inside the mission, kill them all! ”

"This is for our civilization, for our world, for the future and tomorrow, everyone..."

"Let's go to the battlefield!"

"For victory, throw your fists!"
