Chapter 207: I Need Your Power (Two-in-One)
New York.
Justice League base, Core Laboratory.
This is the place with the highest security level in the base.
Except for Luka and Tony, not even Pepper and Happyhave permission to enter.
The door of the laboratory slowly closed, isolating the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Luka stood alone in the center.
"Jarvis."
"I am here, Mr. Luka."
"Cut off the external network connection and enable isolation."
"For the next period of time, I do not want any detection waves or magic means to be able to spy on this place."
"Understood, Sir. Shielding has been activated, and the encrypted network has taken over the internal loop."
As Jarvis's gentle voice fell, a faint blue halo lit up on the surrounding walls, which was the latest energy isolation technology of Stark Industries.
After finishing all this, Luka let out a long breath.
Today is a feast of harvest.
"Pull up my current physical data."
"Okay, Sir."
The holographic projection unfolded in front of Luka, and a 3D human body model slowly rotated, surrounded by densely packed data and curves.
"After actual combat data collection and absorbing the remains of the ancient creature known as the Dragon Bone, your body's cellular activity has ushered in an explosive growth once again."
"Before this, your base strength had already reached an astonishing eight-thousand-ton level."
"And now, the life energy contained in the Dragon Bone not only neutralized the conflicts of various violent energies in your body, but also elevated your physical fitness to a brand-new level."
"Sir, according to calculations, your current normal strength has officially broken through the twelve-thousand-ton mark!"
Twelve thousand tons!
Luka looked at the data on the screen and smiled slightly.
What kind of concept is this?
This means that if he doesn't wear the battle suit now, just with physical strength, he can punch through a fully loaded aircraft carrier directly!
If he jumps with all his might, he can jump directly out of the atmosphere!
"There is something even more surprising, Sir."
Jarvis continued to report.
"The Dragon Bone energy has a miraculous repairing effect on your cell telomeres."
"Simply put, your self-healing ability has reached the state of regeneration from a single drop of blood."
"As long as the head and heart are not instantly vaporized, any physical-level trauma can be quickly recovered."
"Moreover, according to calculations, your natural lifespan... currently has an unestimatable upper limit."
Longevity and immortality, regeneration from a drop of blood.
For anyone on Earth, this is a dream enough to make them go crazy.
But Luka just raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.
"Not bad. At least I don't have to worry about kidney deficiency when throwing parties in the future."
Subsequently, Luka clenched his fists and felt the incoming strength.
The surge of power is certainly exciting, but this is not the biggest harvest.
As Luka's mind moved.
The black substance in the body began to boil.
After absorbing the baptism of Chaos Magic, it had another hearty meal of Dragon Bone energy.
These energies caused a heaven-defying qualitative change in it!
With another thought from him, the black substance instantly darted out!
Then it docilely wrapped around Luka's outstretched right arm.
"Come on, let me see to what extent you have evolved."
Buzz!
The black fluid instantly spread along the arm to the whole body.
In less than a tenth of a second, a pitch-black battle suit wrapped Luka within it.
However, the feeling of wearing the battle suit this time was completely different from before!
"This..."
Luka suddenly opened his eyes.
In the past, although the battle suit could provide him with defense and enhancement.
But in Luka's feeling, this was just a dead object, a handy tool.
But now!
He felt a weak yet genuinely existing heartbeat inside the battle suit!
"Thump... thump... thump..."
The sound of the heartbeat was completely synchronized with the beating frequency of Luka's own heart.
It seemed that the battle suit had merged into his own body and become an inseparable part!
And not only that.
Vague and wonderful emotions faintly came from Luka's brain.
It seemed to be the conscious feedback of a pet expressing submission and affection to its Master.
It was expressing its desire for its Master, greed for power, and... the impulse to tear enemies apart!
"It... has come alive?"
Luka raised his hands in surprise, observing the breathing-like undulations of the patterns on the surface of the battle suit.
"Yes, Sir."
Jarvis's scanning data timely appeared on the holographic screen.
"This is a rare miracle of fusion."
"The reality-warping characteristics of Chaos Magicendowed this lump of dead matter with the embryonic form of a soul; while the massive life energy of the Dragon Bone shaped a true biological base for it."
"Now he is not only a battle armor, but also a symbiotic creature with a weak self-awareness."
"Moreover, since the battle suit was tamed with your blood, its consciousness is branded with absolute loyalty to you."
"Therefore, it is only loyal to you."
"Even if you take it off now, anyone else trying to put it on will be regarded as an intruder by it, and then instantly devoured."
Hearing Jarvis's analysis, Luka smiled more confidently.
"A conscious and absolutely loyal weapon of murder."
"This is much more interesting than Tony's cold battle armors."
Luka's mind moved slightly.
"Let me see your new abilities."
Swish!
The back of the battle suit instantly split open, and four thick tentacles burst out!
But this time, the front ends of the tentacles transformed into four ferocious dragon head shapes!
The edges of the dragon mouths flickered with sharp cold light.
And deep inside the dragon mouths, red energy was faintly rolling!
"Boom!"
Luka manipulated one of the tentacles to smash fiercely into a special material steel plate used for testing in the corner.
With a hiss!
The steel plate was decomposed and annihilated by the energy at the front end of the tentacle!
And not even a trace was left behind!
"Physical strike plus magic annihilation?"
Luka nodded with satisfaction.
"This kind of attack power barely passes."
Immediately afterwards, Luka began to test the defense limit of the battle suit.
"Jarvis, start the laser net at maximum power."
"Sir, the laser net at maximum power has an extremely high temperature. Are you sure..."
"Cut the crap, fire."
"Okay, Sir."
Sizzling!
Dozens of high-energy laser beams rapidly shot out from the surrounding walls!
The lasers intertwined into an airtight light net, bombarding Luka from all directions with no dead angles!
The dazzling light illuminated the laboratory as bright as day.
However, Luka in the center of the light net just stood there quietly.
When the lasers hit the surface, the living-creature-like material of the battle suit immediately reacted.
A faint red light flashed across the surface, just like a greedy vortex.
These energies didn't even burn the epidermis of the battle suit before being directly swallowed!
After absorbing the energy, the battle suit fed it back into Luka's body.
Luka felt that his strength had even increased by a fraction under the bombardment of the lasers!
"This is the power of the energy absorption feature..."
Luka closed his eyes, feeling the nearly unbeatable defense.
"Unless the enemy's instantaneous attack power can exceed the upper limit of the battle suit's absorption and conversion."
"Otherwise, any conventional physical and energy attacks are just charging me."
"And to exceed my current absorption upper limit..."
Luka chuckled.
"That probably has to be me doing it myself."
"Turn off the laser net, Jarvis. This thing is not even enough to scratch an itch for me anymore."
The laser net instantly went out.
With a thought from Luka, the battle suit hid beneath the skin again, turning into a black tattoo entrenched at the heart position.
He could feel that the faint heartbeat was still resonating at the same frequency as himself.
This feeling was very wonderful and reassuring.
"This harvest far exceeded expectations."
Luka walked to the bar counter and poured himself a glass of whiskey.
He raised his glass and gave a distant toast toward the sea surface.
The underground world of Hells Kitchen was already under his control, and Kingpin's intelligence network had become his eyes and ears.
The century-old savings of The Hand were looted, and the Dragon Bone allowed him to complete a double evolution.
He also met Thor of Asgard and defeated God of MischiefLoki.
Today, whether in terms of personal martial prowess or the foundation of Stark Industries, he already stood at the absolute peak of this planet.
S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Nick Fury is probably still overwhelmed by the inner ghosts inside S.H.I.E.L.D. and has no energy to manage him.
Hydra's people probably dare not manage it even more, and have not appeared since last time.
Wakanda is also obediently digging Vibranium mines for Stark Industries, continuously providing materials for the Justice League every day.
"Everything is under control."
Luka drained the strong liquor in his glass, and an ambitious light flashed past.
"However, Earth's resources are limited after all."
Luka walked to the window, looking up at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
"The territory of Stark Industries should march towards the sea of stars."
"After all..."
Luka chuckled and turned to walk towards the elevator.
"As an idealistic playboy, if I can't expand my business to the entire Universe, what's the difference between that and a salted fish?"
Ding.
The elevator door opened.
Luka stepped inside.
"Jarvis, notify Pepper and have her prepare to draft a business proposal on near-Earth orbit defense and space resource development. The budget has no upper limit."
"Okay, Mr. Luka."
The elevator door slowly closed.
Soon, Luka pushed open the door of the top floor room.
The lights in the room were adjusted very dimly.
Wanda was wearing a wine-red bathrobe, barefoot, lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling window watching the sea view.
The bathrobe was as smooth as water waves, closely clinging to that heart-stopping curve.
The fair spine and slender thighs exuded a fatal temptation under the dim yellow light.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Wanda saw it was Luka, her big eyes instantly lit up, and two clouds of red flew across her cheeks.
"You're back... was the cleanup smooth?"
Wanda's voice was soft and sweet, carrying a trace of attachment she didn't even notice herself.
"Very smooth, and the harvest was bountiful."
Luka took off his shirt and casually threw it on the carpet.
Then he strode behind Wanda and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pressing her tightly against his chest.
"Ah..."
Wanda let out a delicate cry, instantly softening and leaning weakly into Luka's arms.
"What? Missed me?"
Luka lowered his head and gently planted a kiss on Wanda's fair neck.
The warm breath sprayed on her earlobe, causing Wandato tremble all over.
"I... didn't..."
Wanda bit her lips in shame and anger, struggling symbolically twice.
But that little strength was not even enough to scratch an itch in front of Luka.
Instead, because of the friction, the two pressed even closer together.
"Bad thoughts?"
Luka chuckled, his hands restlessly wandering upwards along the edge of the bathrobe.
"Just now when I was doing the experiment, my mind was full of thoughts on how to develop new magic poses for you."
"No!"
Wanda was so embarrassed she was about to bleed.
She certainly knew that the magic poses Luka mentioned in his mouth were definitely not decent things.
"Don't want to? Then when you were lying here just now, weren't you waiting for me to come and charge you?"
Luka directly turned Wanda around and pressed her against the floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside is the turbulent sea, and inside is the room where the temperature is rising rapidly.
Luka's gaze became deep and fiery.
Then he lifted Wanda's chin, his gaze looking straight into her panicked and desirous eyes.
"Tonight's energy is very sufficient. Little Witch, are you ready not to sleep for a whole night?"
Wanda's heartbeat was as violent as beating drums.
Unconsciously, she had slowly closed her eyes, and her hands also actively climbed onto Luka's neck.
"You... be gentler..."
Just as the two were preparing to conduct an in-depth investigation...
Buzz!!!
An alarm suddenly sounded over the base!
Immediately afterwards, a huge searchlight penetrated the night sky and swept directly across the floor-to-ceiling window of the lounge.
"Warning! An unauthorized flying object has been detected above the base!"
Jarvis's voice sounded urgently, breaking the romantic atmosphere of the room.
"Performing friend-or-foe identification... Identification failed! The opponent has forcibly entered the air defense airspace of the base!"
Luka's movements stopped instantly.
He frowned tightly, and killing intent burst out in his eyes.
"Fack! Which blind idiot dares to come and ruin my mood at this time?!"
Luka let go of Wanda, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked up at the night sky.
I saw a pitch-black helicopter hovering in mid-air less than fifty meters away from the landing pad.
The side door of the helicopter had been pulled open, and the gale whipped up by the propellers caused the sea water to churn violently.
A man wearing a black leather trench coat stood at the cabin door of the helicopter.
Even across such a long distance, Luka still clearly saw a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Of course, as well as the other party's single eye full of exhaustion and urgency.
Nick Fury!
The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., this man who was hunted down by Hydra like a stray dog and hid in the sewers a few days ago.
At this moment, he actually broke into the Justice Leaguebase at the risk of being shot into a sieve by anti-aircraft missiles?!
"Jarvis, turn off the safety of the anti-aircraft missiles."
Luka sneered, and the killing intent in the depths of his eyes was gradually replaced by playfulness.
"It seems our Director is at his wits' end, and can only come to beg me, an anti-human terrorist."
Luka turned around and pinched Wanda's blushing cheeks.
"Wait for me obediently in the room, Little Witch. I'll go upstairs to see an old friend, and I'll be right back to continue our charging session."
After speaking, Luka's mind moved.
The battle suit instantly covered his whole body, turning into a battle armor filled with oppression.
Subsequently, he directly smashed the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Boom!"
Luka turned into a black stream of light and soared into the sky, landing on the landing pad.
The gale howled, and the helicopter slowly landed.
Nick Fury jumped down from the helicopter.
At this moment, his body still had the smell of gunpowder smoke and dried blood stains, appearing very disheveled.
But he stared dead at Luka not far away, with only a desperate resolution in his eyes.
"Luka Stark."
Fury walked up to Luka in big strides, his voice hoarse.
"I know you hate me, and I know you don't want to see me."
"But now, I can no longer care about any face or rules."
Fury took a deep breath, as if he had used all his strength to spit out the next sentence.
"The Tesseract... was snatched away."
"Earth is about to be finished. I need your power!"
Chapter 208: Six Infinity Stones (Two-in-One)
The night wind was cold and biting, and waves crashed against the base's breakwater.
On the helipad.
Luka looked at the disheveled Fury, his eyes full of playfulness.
"Mr. Director, your way of making an entrance is getting more and more creative."
"Instead of using the front entrance, you even flew an unmarked helicopter to trespass into private airspace."
"If Jarvis hadn't recognized that bald head of yours, you would have been riddled with holes by anti-aircraft missiles by now."
Fury gnashed his teeth, ignoring Luka's mockery.
He then took a deep breath, suppressing the humiliation in his heart before slowly speaking.
"Lucas Stark, I have no time to joke with you. Earth is about to face an impending catastrophe!"
"Oh? A catastrophe?"
Luka raised an eyebrow, showing a bit of interest.
He leisurely walked over to the sofa in the room, sat down, and crossed his legs.
"Let me guess. Hydra took over S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters?"
"Or did you get lost in the sewers, got bitten by a rat, and need to borrow my medical kit?"
"If it's just an internal power struggle within S.H.I.E.L.D., then I can only say I'm sorry. Stark Industries doesn't participate in coups; we are only responsible for selling medicine and watching the show."
Fury was somewhat speechless.
Luka was always like this, acting completely indifferent.
"No, it has nothing to do with Hydra! It's that alien! That guy named Loki!"
Fury took a step forward, staring intently at Luka.
"Loki raided our research base, killed my people, and stole a dangerous energy source we call the Tesseract!"
"The Tesseract?"
Hearing this name, Luka raised his eyebrows slightly.
He didn't know what the Tesseract was, let alone what it represented.
But he knew one thing.
Loki, who had been beaten by him and fled in panic, actually hadn't scurried back to his hometown, but had run to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base to steal such a thing.
Something that could make an arrogant god risk stealing even while fleeing was definitely an incredible treasure!
"Interesting."
Luka smiled slightly.
"Since Loki was beaten so badly by me, he must want to find external help or weapons to seek revenge on me."
"This shows that this so-called Tesseract is definitely extremely powerful."
"Moreover, since it was stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D., this thing must have been S.H.I.E.L.D.'s trump card to turn the tables."
Thinking of this, Luka smiled mischievously.
He then picked up the drink on the table, took a sip, and his expression remained nonchalant.
"Fury, I don't understand this."
Luka spread his hands, looking completely unconcerned.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.'s security is lax, allowing a petty thief to steal your treasure."
"Isn't this your own dereliction of duty? Why should I clean up your mess for something you lost yourself?"
"Stark Industries is a legitimate commercial company, not S.H.I.E.L.D.'s free muscle."
Fury was temporarily at a loss for words, knowing that this bastard Luka was taking advantage of the crisis.
"Luka! The energy contained within the Tesseract is enough to destroy all of New York! If Loki uses it..."
"Stop."
Luka raised a finger, interrupting Fury.
"Mr. Director, if you want my help, sure."
"But I never do business at a loss."
"If you want me to take action, there is a clear price."
Luka stood up and walked over to Fury, his gaze becoming sharp.
"I want S.H.I.E.L.D.'s map of all secret base locations worldwide, and I want priority research rights to all undisclosed technologies in your hands."
"Also, I want the highest access privileges to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence network."
"If you agree, I'll help you bring Loki back. If you don't..."
Luka pointed in the direction of the helicopter.
"The helicopter is over there. You can go back and continue playing hide-and-seek with Hydra."
Hearing this, Fury's face instantly turned ash-pale.
Luka's conditions were simply to completely hollow out S.H.I.E.L.D.!
To hand over all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s trump cards to Stark Industries!
This was extortion!
But did Fury have a choice now?
The headquarters was occupied, more than half of the elites were dead or injured, and the Tesseract was stolen.
If he didn't agree to Luka, not only would the Tesseract not be recovered, but S.H.I.E.L.D. would also be destroyed.
Fury closed his eyes and took a deep breath, seemingly using up all his strength.
"Fine... I agree."
Fury opened his eyes and responded weakly.
"But I must tell you what the Tesseract really is, so you can understand the gravity of the situation."
Seeing Fury compromise, Luka snapped his fingers in satisfaction.
"That's more like it. Win-win cooperation is the truth of modern society. Let's go, we'll talk in the meeting room."
"Jarvis, check where that bastard Pietro took Thor to run wild."
"Notify him to bring Thor back to me immediately. There is work to do."
"Yes, sir. Mr. Pietro is currently at a strip club on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. I have already sent a mandatory recall command."
Luka's mouth twitched slightly.
This kid is learning bad habits faster than Mage Wong.
...
A few minutes later.
In the base's meeting room.
Luka sat at the head of the table.
At this moment, Wanda, whose hair was still slightly messy, walked in with a flushed face.
Seeing Fury's disheveled state, she was stunned for a moment, then obediently walked over to sit beside Luka, keeping her head down without saying a word.
The madness from just now was still echoing in her mind; she didn't dare look Luka in the eyes at all.
Luka smiled, naturally putting his arm around Wanda's shoulders, and then looked at Fury.
"Alright, Director. Now you can start your story. What exactly is this so-called Tesseract?"
Looking at Luka's lordly posture, Fury suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice.
"This matter starts back in World War II."
Fury knew that in the face of Luka, lying or hiding things was completely pointless; instead, it would only arouse resentment and cause their cooperation to fall apart.
Therefore, he could only lay everything on the table.
"In 1942, the founder of Hydra, Red Skull, found this object known as the Tesseract in an ancient church in Norway."
"Red Skull used the energy within the Tesseract to manufacture energy weapons far exceeding the technology of that era, nearly winning World War II."
"Later, during Captain America's final battle with Red Skull, the Tesseract fell into the deep sea."
Fury glanced at Luka, his tone becoming somewhat complex.
"It wasn't until a few years later, when your father, Mr. Howard Stark, was salvaging the Captain's body from the deep sea, that he accidentally found this Tesseract and brought it back to S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Since then, the Tesseract had been kept in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret base. We were studying it, trying to develop a technology that could provide unlimited clean energy."
At this point, Fury sighed.
"But just tonight, Loki suddenly broke in."
"He possesses a powerful body and bizarre mind-control abilities."
"He not only knocked down the security personnel and brainwashed a high-ranking Agent, but also ended up escaping with the Tesseract."
After listening to Fury's narration, Luka stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
"Found in a church in Norway? Red Skull used it to make weapons? Dad salvaged it?"
Luka grasped these key points.
Norway is the birthplace of Norse mythology.
Combined with the appearance of Loki and Thor, this Tesseract most likely has everything to do with Asgard.
Moreover, Loki went to steal this thing immediately after being brutally beaten by him.
This indicated that to him, this thing was his hope of turning the tables.
"It seems the Tesseract is not only an energy source, but also a strategic weapon capable of changing the course of a battle."
"Since it's no longer in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands, once I steal it back, won't it become the private property of Stark Industries?"
"Isn't this just evolutionary material delivered right to my door?"
Just as Luka was thinking,
"Boom!"
The door to the meeting room was suddenly pushed open.
A silver afterimage flashed into the room in an instant.
Pietro stopped by the table, panting heavily, still clutching a handful of pink feathers torn from some dancer.
Immediately after, heavy footsteps approached.
Thor strode into the meeting room.
At this moment, his face was flushed red, having clearly drunk a lot of alcohol.
Although his steps were somewhat unsteady, his spirits were still highly excited.
"Hahaha! Luka! My friend!"
As soon as Thor walked in, he laughed heartily and spread his arms.
"Your Midgardian strip shows are truly spectacular!"
"Those women's bodies are even softer than the Valkyries of Asgard!"
"Pietro showed me what true Midgardian culture is!"
"I've decided, once I regain my divine power, I must open a similar tavern in Asgard as well!"
Pietro coughed awkwardly twice, quickly hid the feathers behind his back, and glanced at Luka guiltily.
Luka rolled his eyes helplessly and pointed at Fury sitting opposite him.
"Alright, put away your dirty thoughts."
"Thor, your dear brother Loki just did something big."
"Loki?"
Hearing this name, Thor's drunkenness instantly vanished by more than half.
"What did he do this time? Hasn't he already left?"
Thor's tone was somewhat complex.
There was both the anger of being deceived and a hint of worry for his brother.
"Then you are mistaken. Not only has he not left Earth, but he also went and robbed this Mr. Director's warehouse."
Luka leaned back on the sofa and said calmly.
"Loki stole something called the Tesseract."
"I heard this thing was found in a church in Norway, contains infinite energy, and Loki even used it to teleport away."
"The Tesseract? Infinite energy, teleportation?!"
Thor's eyes instantly widened.
His eyes, which had been somewhat blurry, also became incredibly clear.
"Are... are you sure the thing he stole can teleport?!"
Thor rushed in front of Fury in excitement and lifted him right out of his chair.
"What does it look like?! Is it a cube emitting a blue glow?!"
Fury was startled by this sudden movement, but still forced himself to stay calm and nodded.
"Yes, a blue cube. Why? Do you know it?"
"Damn it!"
Thor released Fury, clutched his head with both hands, and paced back and forth anxiously in the meeting room.
"Crazy! Loki has truly gone mad! He has no idea what he has taken!"
Seeing Thor's intense reaction, both Luka and Fury realized the gravity of the situation.
Consequently, Luka also sat up straight.
"Thor, sit down. Tell us everything you know."
"This Tesseract, what exactly is it?"
Thor took a deep breath, trying his best to calm the anxiety in his heart.
He pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at everyone present with a serious gaze.
"You Midgardians call it the Tesseract, but in our Asgard, it has a true name."
Thor said, emphasizing each word.
"It is called the Space Stone. It is one of the six Infinity Stones created by the Big Bang at the dawn of the Universe!"
"The Space Stone! The Infinity Stones!"
Hearing this, Fury's single eye suddenly contracted, and Luka's brow furrowed deeply.
Although they didn't understand what the Infinity Stoneswere,
just this origin story was enough to shock anyone.
"The six Infinity Stones represent Space, Time, Reality, Power, Mind, and Soul respectively."
Thor's voice echoed in the meeting room as he continued to explain to everyone.
"The six stones are the most powerful sources of energy in the Universe. Mastering any one of them grants the power to destroy heaven and Earth."
"And the Space Stone, as the name suggests, controls the laws of space in the Universe."
Thor looked at Fury, his tone solemn.
"With the Space Stone, you can instantly open a portal between any two points in the Universe, crossing endless galaxies."
"You can also use it to teleport an entire fleet directly from the edge of the Universe right above your heads!"
"And the reason it is on Earth is because a long time ago, my father Odin hid it in a Norwegian church in Midgard to protect the stone from being taken by evil forces."
"My father thought that with Midgard's backwardness, no one would ever discover the secret of the Space Stone."
As he spoke, Thor clutched his hair in pain.
"I should have realized sooner!"
"Loki must have been unwilling to accept defeat; his proud self-esteem absolutely could not bear such humiliation."
"So, he must have secretly sensed the energy fluctuations of the Space Stone and went to snatch it!"
"What does he want to do?!" Fury couldn't help but ask, cold sweat already drenching his back.
"What does he want to do? Isn't it obvious?"
Thor gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger.
"I can tell with one guess that he wants to use the Space Stone to open a wormhole!"
"He wants to summon an army to rule Midgard! He wants to use your blood to wash away the humiliation he suffered today!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting room fell into silence.
"An invading army?!"
This news was far more despairing than internal strife within Hydra.
Fury slumped into his chair.
He finally understood how foolish his action of forcibly extracting the Tesseract's energy just now had been.
Not only had he failed to master the ultimate weapon, but he had also opened Pandora's box with his own hands.
Wanda also clutched Luka's arm tightly, her gaze tense.
Pietro swallowed hard.
"God, an army? A fleet? Is this going to be an interstellar war? My speed won't help me run in space!"
However,
while everyone was plunged into shock and fear,
Luka, sitting at the head of the table, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Infinity Stones... space teleportation... an army..."
The more Luka thought about it, the brighter his eyes shone.
In the eyes of others, this was a world-ending apocalypse that would destroy Earth.
But in Luka's eyes,
wasn't this just a carnival of free windfalls falling from the sky?!
"I was just worrying about how to keep progressing, and the Space Stone delivers itself right to my door."
"Most importantly..."
Luka looked at Fury, who was still in despair, his smile growing increasingly arrogant.
"Loki had not only helped him snatch S.H.I.E.L.D.'s trump card, but had also come all this way to deliver it for free."
"What was this?"
"This is Stark Industries' employee of the year!"
Luka stood up and raised his glass.
"Everyone, don't be so pessimistic."
"No matter what kind of fleet he summons, and no matter how powerful the stone is,"
"on Earth, there is no invasion—only losers."
Chapter 209: The God of Mischief's
"So, that's the situation."
In the conference room of the Justice League base.
Luka crossed his legs and rested them on the edge of the conference table, holding a glass of champagne in his hand.
His gaze swept across everyone present, finally landing on Thor, who was feeling anxious because of Loki.
"Alien army, Infinity Stones, space teleportation."
Luka gently swirled his wine glass and gave a light smile.
"Sounds like this is indeed a big enough event to scare the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. into wetting his pants."
"Luka! This is no joke!"
Thor stood up, pressing both hands on the surface of the table, his tone anxious and heavy.
"You don't know how crazy my brother is!"
"Although he is not as good as you in combat, he is proficient in all kinds of insidious magic and lies!"
"Now, Loki has also obtained the Space Stone. As long as he can find a brutal enough cosmic mercenary, well, I bet he will definitely open a wormhole and bring the war to Midgard!"
Thor took a deep breath, his eyes filled with self-blame.
"I must immediately find a way to contact Asgard!"
"If Loki gets his way, this beautiful planet will turn into a sea of fire!"
Looking at the extremely anxious Thor, the reactions of the others in the conference room varied.
Pietro curled his lips indifferently and even yawned.
As one of the people who witnessed firsthand how powerful Luka was.
Pietro didn't have much worry about the so-called alien army right now.
"Thor, do you have some misunderstanding about Luka's strength?"
"Not to mention an alien army, even if you called all of Asgard's army over, it probably wouldn't be enough for Luka alone to warm up."
"You..." Thor choked for a moment, wanting to retort.
But thinking that he was now just an ordinary person, he sat back down dejectedly.
Luka put down his wine glass, knocked on the table, and interrupted their argument.
"Alright, everyone. Put away your panic and blind self-confidence."
"Thor is right, the alien army is indeed a trouble."
"But in the dictionary of Stark Industries, as long as trouble is properly utilized, it is a huge fortune."
Luka got up and walked to the window to admire the distant seascape.
"Alien spaceships, energy weapons, and biological samples of those alien soldiers..."
"These are resources on Earth that you can't buy with money."
"Since Loki is so enthusiastic about wanting to be our free deliveryman, of course we must be ready to sign for the package."
Luka smiled slightly and called out casually.
"Jarvis."
"Yes, sir."
"Notify Peter and Dr. Banner."
"Also, call Gwen and tell her I miss her."
Luka gave the order.
"Then tell them that within half an hour, everyone return to the base to assemble. The Justice League is going to hold a mobilization meeting."
"We need to discuss how to elegantly devour them completely when the delivery arrives at our doorstep."
"Alright, sir. Notification sent."
...
On the other side.
Deep in the Universe.
A chaotic star region countless light-years away from Earth.
This place was called Knowhere, or rather the Milky Way Galaxy's infamous interstellar black market and lawless zone.
This was an outlaw land established on the huge skull remains of an ancient Celestial.
It was not only filled with smugglers and mercenaries from across the Universe, but also a large number of fugitives and various nameless strange creatures.
"Bang!"
In a dark alley on the edge of Knowhere.
A dazzling blue light suddenly lit up in mid-air.
Soon, a dark green figure fell from mid-air and smashed heavily onto the ground.
"Cough cough... Damn it..."
Loki lay flat on the ground, curling up his body in pain.
"Monster... Lowly Midgard monster..."
Loki reached out tremblingly, tightly gripping his chest.
In his arms was the Tesseract emitting a faint blue light.
Hours ago, he had forcibly taken the Tesseract.
But he had overestimated his current state.
After being ravaged by Luka, the magical energy inside his body had long been beaten to near collapse, and he didn't even know how many bones were broken.
Under such a severely injured and dying state, it was simply impossible to precisely control the vast, sea-like energy of the Space Stone.
Relying only on instinct and the desire for revenge, he randomly opened a space rift and plunged headfirst into it.
Being able to come here alive and not being torn into pieces by spatial turbulence could already be considered Odin blessing him from above.
"Hoo... Hoo..."
Loki turned over with difficulty, leaning against a piece of debris.
He raised his head and looked at the sky overhead interwoven with nebulae and lights.
"Where... is this?"
Loki endured the severe pain, trying to force himself to calm down.
As the prince of Asgard, although he hadn't frequently campaigned across the Nine Realms like Thor.
But he had read extensively through the ancient books of the Asgardian Palace and had some understanding of various star regions and civilizations in the Universe.
Therefore, observing these bizarre buildings around him and the scavenger spaceships occasionally flying across the sky.
He quickly made a judgment.
"Interstellar black market... Chaotic star region..."
Loki sneered.
"Very good. This is precisely the place I need the most right now."
Supporting himself against the wall, he stood up unsteadily.
"If I return directly to Asgard, Thor must have already told Father about it. I will be arrested as a traitor."
Thinking of this, Loki's gaze became venomous and resentful.
"Damn Midgardian, the humiliation you gave me must be repaid with the destruction of all of Midgard!"
"I need an army. An army brutal enough to raze a city to the ground!"
Loki took a deep breath and carefully hid the Tesseract into the inner layer of his robe.
Then, he closed his eyes and mobilized the tiny bit of magical energy remaining in his body.
"Hum!!"
A faint green light flashed by.
Loki's clothes changed into a set of interstellar mercenary robes.
The contours of his face also underwent subtle changes, and he wore a hood on his head, deeply hiding his face in the shadows.
After finishing his disguise, Loki walked out of the alley.
As soon as he stepped onto the street, the deafening clamor instantly engulfed him.
On both sides of the street were shops flashing signs in various languages.
Black shops selling illegal weapons, meat markets providing various dangerous creature transactions, and underground casinos exuding decadent music.
Blue-skinned Kree smugglers, scaly reptilian aliens, and several cyborg half-robots whose bodies were half-modified by machinery.
Creatures of various races shuttled, traded, argued on the street, and even drew energy guns to engage in gunfights on the street over a single disagreement.
This was a dark abyss without laws, speaking only of power and wealth.
The creed they believed in was the Great Abyss of Freedom, shooting every day.
Loki lowered his hood and walked through the crowd with his head down.
The once high-and-mighty god was now like a rat afraid of being stepped to death.
This made him very angry, but he also knew he had to be very careful.
His current physical condition was too terrible; if he exposed the secret of holding the Infinity Stones in such a place.
Then, he would definitely not live for three seconds before being torn into pieces by this group of desperadoes.
Just as Loki was vigilantly looking around.
Suddenly!
"Move aside! Don't block the way!"
A rude roar came from ahead.
Loki subconsciously looked over.
He saw a mercenary wearing heavy black armor, standing over two meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, appear.
The other party was arrogantly pushing the crowd away and striding toward his direction.
This guy was huge in size, carrying a violent aura as he walked.
Loki's pupils shrank.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Seeing this person, some images related to Luka exploded in his mind like lightning!
That terrifying power, that line "What a weak god."
"No... Don't!"
Loki's face turned pale, whispering softly in his mouth.
Unconsciously, his legs went soft, and he staggered backward out of control, falling to sit on the sewage-filled road surface.
At this moment, he was shivering all over, hugging his head tightly with both hands.
"Hey, you idiot, are you looking to die?!"
The mercenary walked up to Loki.
Looking down condescendingly at the hooded man who inexplicably collapsed on the ground, he cursed fiercely.
But the mercenary evidently had urgent business, just spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground, and then strode past Loki, disappearing into the crowd.
It took a full two and a half minutes.
Loki slowly came to his senses.
He panted heavily, his chest rising and falling violently.
When he raised his head and saw a passing alien looking at him with contempt,
at that exact moment, an unprecedented humiliation surged into his heart.
"I... I actually..."
Loki was almost amused by his own anger.
He, the God of Mischief, the prince of Asgard.
Just because his physique was a bit like that man's, he was scared to the point of collapsing to the ground and trembling?!
"Luca Stark!!!"
"I am going to kill you! I must kill you! I will make you wail in agony, I will pull out your soul and roast it on the divine fire for ten thousand years!"
Fear turned into madness.
Loki leaned against the wall and stood up with difficulty.
He knew he could no longer crash around like a headless fly.
He had to find a faction capable of providing a powerful army as soon as possible.
Loki's gaze swept across the street and finally landed on a tavern not far away.
"No matter where you are, a tavern is always the fastest place for intelligence to circulate."
Loki tidied his clothes and hid the Tesseract even deeper.
Then, with a somewhat limping gait, he walked into the tavern named Edge of the Black Hole.
Pushing open the door.
A foul odor hit him in the face.
The lighting in the tavern was slightly dim.
Deafening music echoed through the tavern.
On the central stage, several alien girls with multiple tentacles were dancing revealingly.
The surrounding booths and the front of the bar were filled with all sorts of dangerous characters.
Someone was starting a brawl over a few star coins, someone was conducting a weapon trade in the corner, and someone was flirting with a waitress.
Loki pulled down his hood to minimize his presence as much as possible.
Afterward, he walked over to an empty seat at the edge of the bar and sat down.
"What can I get you, alien?"
A four-eyed, purple-skinned bartender walked over and asked in a stiff tone.
Loki did not speak.
He pulled a gold coin engraved with Asgard runes from his sleeve and pushed it gently in front of the bartender.
No matter where you are, high-purity gold remains hard currency.
The bartender's four eyes lit up instantly.
He quickly put away the gold coin, and his attitude instantly took a 180-degree turn.
"Oh, quite generous."
"Distinguished guest, what would you like to drink? We have Nebula Blast just shipped from Andromeda here, guaranteed to make your soul ascend to heaven with a single sip."
"Give me your strongest drink here. Keep the change."
Loki said in a hoarse voice.
Afterward, he raised his head slightly, his eyes staring intently at the bartender.
"Consider the rest of the money as me buying some information from you."
The bartender expertly poured a glass of strong liquor bubbling with green gas and pushed it in front of Loki, lowering his voice.
"What would you like to know?"
"As long as it happened in this star domain, there is nothing that Four-Eyes doesn't know. Looking for someone? Buying weapons? Or wanting to find a good job?"
Loki picked up his glass and took a small sip.
The fiery liquor flowed down his throat, burning like a ball of fire in his stomach, slightly easing the excruciating pain on his body.
"I don't need weapons, nor do I need work."
"I am looking for an army."
"An army that is fearless, cold-blooded and brutal, capable of destroying a planet at any cost for profit."
Hearing this, the bartender's hand pouring the wine paused slightly.
His four eyes looked Loki up and down, and then he let out a sneer.
"Friend, are you drunk, or was your brain smashed?"
The bartender leaned against the bar and issued a warning.
"Do you think an army is something you can buy just because you want to?"
"An army capable of destroying a planet? This is not a game that lone rangers like you can afford to play."
The bartender pointed to the fierce-looking mercenaries in the tavern.
"See those guys?"
"They can at most help you rob a merchant ship, or fight a localized war on an asteroid."
"The kind of power you are looking for is possessed only by those few behemoths in the Universe."
"For example?" Loki continued to ask calmly.
"For instance, the Kree Empire."
The bartender said in a lowered voice.
"Their Accuser fleet is invincible."
"But they are regular troops, taking orders only from the Supreme Intelligence, and will never accept private employment."
"And then there is the Nova Corps, who fancy themselves as the police of the Universe, even less likely to help you destroy a planet."
"As for large Ravager legions, these people will do anything as long as you pay them, but they are just a mob."
"They're okay when things are going smoothly, but when they hit a hard nut, they run faster than anyone else."
Hearing this, Loki frowned.
"Could it be that in this vast Universe, there is no force that can meet my requirements?"
The bartender fell silent.
He looked around, confirming that no one was paying attention to their side.
Then, he leaned close to Loki, his tone lowered to the extreme, as if even mentioning that name would bring bad luck.
"There is."
"In the depths of the Universe, a truly despair-inducing power is hidden."
Speaking of this, deep fear was revealed in the bartender's eyes.
"If you truly aren't afraid of death, you can try to contact the Chitauri."
"The Chitauri?"
Loki searched his mind, but didn't have much impression of this race.
"They are a group of half-machine, half-biological monsters, the most cold-blooded killing weapons in the Universe."
"They have no fear, nor do they have mercy, only obeying orders, and then devouring every planet they see."
The bartender swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued.
"However, the Chitauri do not accept monetary employment."
"They only take orders from one person. A tyrant who makes the Universe tremble with fear."
"That is the one known as the Mad Titan... Thanos."
Thanos!
Hearing this name, Loki's heart skipped a beat.
In the ancient books of Asgard, he had once seen fragments of words about the Mad Titan.
This was a being who slaughtered wildly in the Universe to achieve his goals.
"You just said that he doesn't accept money?" Loki keenly seized the crucial point.
"Yes."
The bartender shook his head.
"Thanos has no interest in these worldly wealths."
"I heard that he has been searching the entire Universe for some ancient treasure with infinite energy lately. What was it called... Infinity Stones?"
"Without chips that can interest him, you don't even have the qualification to see him, and you will be torn to pieces by his subordinates."
Finishing his sentence, the bartender patted the bar.
"Take a piece of advice from me, friend."
"Dismiss this crazy idea. Trading with such a being is equivalent to selling your soul to the devil."
However, Loki didn't take a single word of the bartender's warning to heart.
"A treasure of infinite energy..."
"Infinity Stones..."
Loki's hand pressed against his chest.
Through his robe, he could clearly feel the majestic energy of the Space Stone.
Isn't this the chip Thanos has been dreaming of?!
A perfect trade!
Loki began to get excited.
"I can offer the Space Stone to him as the price for borrowing the Chitauri army!"
"As long as it can help me conquer Midgard, help me tear Luca Stark into a thousand pieces, and trample Asgardunderfoot! What is a single stone?!"
Once he became the king of the Nine Realms, he would figure out a way to deal with this so-called tyrant!
"Goodbye, friend."
Loki stood up and drained the strong liquor in his glass in one gulp.
No longer slouching his back, no longer like a frightened mouse.
He straightened his back, no longer slouching his back, no longer like a frightened mouse.
The corners of his mouth once again wore a smile of self-perceived control over everything.
"Thank you for your information. I will go meet this... Mad Titan right now."
Loki turned around and walked out of the tavern.
Raising his head to look at this unfamiliar starry sky, he clenched his fists.
"Luca Stark..."
"Your pathetic brute force will be completely meaningless in front of the cosmic army."
"Get ready to welcome the wrath of the gods!"
Chapter 210: My Name is Sersi (Two-in-One)
"Boom!"
A stealth fighter, like a ghost cutting through the night sky, landed silently.
This was an abandoned private estate on the outskirts of London, Britain.
The cabin door opened.
Lucas, wearing a trench coat, walked out first.
Following closely behind was Wanda, wearing tight black leather clothing that accentuated her figure to the fullest.
Of course, there was also Gwen, wearing a casual jacket.
"Sir, the estate's security system has been taken over. There are no life signs within a radius of several kilometers."
Jarvis's gentle voice rang out in the miniature communicator inside Lucas's ear.
"Very good, activate the area anti-reconnaissance shielding. Also, buy this estate as our temporary foothold in Europe."
Lucas casually gave the order.
Soon, the three of them walked into the interior of the estate.
Although this place had been abandoned for a long time.
Under Jarvis's control, the power supply and heating systems quickly resumed operation.
Lucas walked to the center of the hall and snapped his fingers.
"Jarvis, report on the progress of the other employees."
"Alright, sir."
A huge holographic globe projection instantly lit up in the center of the hall.
Several light spots of different colors flickered on the globe.
"Mr. Pietro is currently in Berlin, Germany."
As Jarvis's voice fell, the holographic projection switched to the streets of Berlin.
In the projection, a silver lightning bolt shuttled near the bustling Berlin Wall ruins.
The speed was so fast that even the roadside surveillance could only capture a blurry afterimage.
"None! None! There's none here either!"
Pietro's impatient words rang out in the channel.
"Lucas, I've turned Berlin upside down! I didn't even see a shadow of someone who looks like Loki!"
"Calm down, kid. You just have fast speed, not X-ray eyes."
"No matter how fast you run, it's impossible to see everyone's face clearly in one second."
Frank's speechless voice came from the channel.
The projection switched to Russia, on an ice sheet in Siberia.
Frank lay prone on a snow mound, with a sniper rifle set up in front of him.
At this moment, he was staring through a thermal imaging scope at an abandoned military base several kilometers away.
"I haven't found the target on my end either. But I conveniently wiped out a few Hydra stronghold remnants hidden here."
"By the way, boss, this gun you equipped me with is so easy to use."
"I don't even need to consider wind speed and ballistic drop, I can just headshot directly."
"Then kill a few more, consider it your bonus."
Lucas replied with satisfaction.
"Peter, how about your side?"
"I'm here! Mr. Lucas!"
The holographic projection came to Tokyo, Japan.
Peter Parker hung upside down at the top of Tokyo Tower.
Facing the strong wind, he held a portable energy detector in his hand.
"I'm scanning the abnormal energy fluctuations in TokyoBay!"
"The technology here is very developed, but no energy readings similar to the Space Stone level were found."
Peter seemed very excited, obviously enjoying the task of traveling abroad at public expense while saving the world.
"However, Mr. Lucas, the sushi here is really delicious!"
"I treated some local police to a late-night snack, and they even thought I was special forces from the United States!"
"If you're full, get back to work, four-hundred auntie. I didn't spend money for you to eat and drink on public funds."
Lucas helplessly rolled his eyes.
Ever since the meeting finished two days ago, the entire Justice League had entered a state of full alert.
Because they knew that Loki held an Infinity Stone capable of destroying Earth.
But the problem was, Loki had disappeared.
Disappeared without a trace, as if evaporated from Earth.
Although Lucas didn't know where the other party had gone.
But he firmly believed that since Loki wanted revenge, he would definitely appear again.
Therefore, Lucas made a decision.
To disperse the members of the Justice League to all parts of the world for a global carpet search.
No matter where Loki was hiding, as long as he dared to show his head, as long as he dared to use the energy of the Space Stone,
the Justice League would arrive at the first moment, and then give him a loving education.
"Thor."
Lucas tapped the table.
"Are you sure your good brother will like to hide in these places?"
The communication channel was silent for a few seconds.
Afterwards, Thor's muffled voice came through.
"Lucas, my friend. You must understand Loki."
"He is a proud person."
"Since childhood, he has liked gorgeous things, places full of mystery and ancient architecture, and of course, places with many people."
Thor swallowed the food in his mouth and took a big gulp of beer.
"So he will definitely not hide in a deserted desert."
"Loki will definitely go to historic major cities, such as Rome, Paris on Earth, or... London."
"London?"
Lucas touched his chin.
Where he, Gwen, and Wanda were currently located was right on the outskirts of London.
"Jarvis, pull up the surveillance footage of downtown London and its surroundings."
"Focus on museums, churches, and any buildings that might hide basement spaces."
"Received, sir."
Lucas turned off the projection and turned to walk towards the window.
"Alright, since Thor says he might be in London, we'll go try our luck downtown tonight."
"Wanda, Gwen. Let's go, let's go shopping."
One hour later.
Downtown London, near Oxford Street.
Although the night was already deep, this famous commercial street was still brightly lit and crowded with people.
Lucas walked leisurely down the street.
On his left, Gwen wore a trench coat with blonde hair draped over her shoulders, looking like a college student visiting London.
On his right, Wanda wore a white long coat, wrapping up her hot figure.
But her exotic face still attracted the gazes of countless passersby.
The combination of three people walking on the street was more eye-catching than Hollywood stars.
"To be honest, I don't quite understand."
Gwen said softly to Lucas while looking at the dazzling shop windows around her.
"Since we are looking for Loki, why not let Jarvis directly scan London's energy fluctuations? Can we really run into him wandering blindly on the street like this?"
"This is called trying our luck, little Gwen."
Lucas chuckled softly, casually buying a portion of fish and chips from a roadside stall and handing it to the two of them.
"Loki is a mage, he has the ability to hide his energy fluctuations."
"If the other party hides intentionally, even Jarvis will find it hard to find him in a short time."
"But as Thor said, Loki is a vain guy."
"If the other party is really in this city, he will never be willing to keep hiding in the basement."
"He will definitely come out to move around, or deliberately create some chaos to show his existence."
Lucas took a bite of the fish and nodded with satisfaction.
"So, we just need to stroll around these bustling places where things are most likely to happen."
"Once magic fluctuations or abnormal events occur, we can arrive at the first moment."
Wanda took the fish and chips and took a gentle bite.
"But Lucas, if Loki really summons an army, can people like us really handle it?"
There was still a little worry in Wanda's eyes.
Although she knew Lucas was strong.
But facing the legendary alien fleet, she still had no bottom in her heart.
"Don't worry, Little Witch."
Lucas leaned into Wanda's ear, lowering his voice with an evil smile.
"You must know, aliens are also people."
"As long as they are people, they will bleed and can be killed."
"Moreover, their spaceships and weapons are very valuable technological materials."
"When they come, you just follow behind me and release Chaos Magic to your heart's content."
Wanda chuckled, and most of the worry in her heart dissipated.
"You really are a villain without a bottom line."
Gwen rolled her eyes, but there was also a smile on the corners of her mouth.
Just as the three of them were talking and laughing as they walked past an intersection,
suddenly.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion came from a street in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, fire soared into the sky, accompanied by the screams of the crowd.
"There's a situation!"
Gwen and Wanda's expressions instantly turned serious.
Lucas also raised an eyebrow.
"It seems our luck is not bad. Let's go see if it's a lost little Bambi."
The three immediately quickened their pace and rushed towards the direction of the explosion.
A few minutes later.
They came to the scene of the explosion.
This was a relatively remote retro-style street, flanked by some Victorian-era buildings.
At this time, the center of the street was in a mess.
A double-decker bus was overturned on the ground, burning with raging fire.
Several surrounding cars also suffered multi-vehicle rear-end collisions, and the alarm bells kept ringing.
Panicked passersby fled in all directions, with screams and cries intertwining.
And beside the overturned bus,
several terrorists holding heavy firearms were frantically strafing in one direction.
"Da da da da da!"
Dense bullets hit the walls and ground of the street, sparks flying everywhere.
"These guys don't look like Loki's men."
Lucas stood at the mouth of an alley, and with his super vision, instantly saw the terrorists' equipment and tattoos.
"They look more like mercenaries or gangster organizations. Moreover, it seems they are hunting down someone."
Lucas looked in the direction the terrorists were shooting.
In a recessed porch at the end of the street, several shivering civilians were hiding.
And in front of those civilians, there actually stood a woman!
A woman in a green dress with long black hair and a gentle appearance.
Facing the pouring bullets, the woman took a deep breath and pushed her hands forward horizontally.
The next second.
A shocking scene happened!
The road surface in front of the woman seemed to have gained life!
The road surface instantly softened and reorganized, transforming into a stone wall several meters high.
The stone wall rose from the ground, blocking in front of her and the civilians!
"Pu pu pu pu!"
Countless bullets hit the stone wall, leaving only white dots, unable to penetrate!
Not only that.
The woman waved her hands again.
The surface of the stone wall instantly metallized, turning into an indestructible shield!
"F*ck! What the hell is this?!"
The terrorists were all dumbfounded.
And the three of them observing from the dark were also taken aback.
"Matter conversion?!"
Gwen widened her eyes, looking at the woman in disbelief.
"She can actually change the molecular structure of objects?"
"Turn asphalt into stone, and then turn stone into metal? What kind of Superpower is this?!"
Wanda also frowned deeply.
"I didn't feel any magic fluctuations on her. This ability is more like a born... instinct."
Lucas's gaze also became sharp.
The ability to change the form of matter at will.
Is definitely a rare and very high-level Superpower.
"Not Loki, but we've caught a big fish."
Lucas calculated secretly in his heart.
"If this ability can be incorporated into Stark Industries... or let me study her genes..."
"Then wouldn't we even save on material costs when building armor or repairing bases in the future?"
On the battlefield.
Although the woman blocked the bullets.
But she not only had to protect herself, but also protect the civilians behind her.
"No, we have to go help her!"
Gwen saw the woman's predicament.
Seeing that the bullets were ineffective, several terroristspulled out rocket launchers from behind!
"Lucas!" Gwen cried out anxiously.
"I know."
Lucas did not hesitate.
He absolutely would not allow such a good piece of material to die in the hands of a few low-tier small fry.
"Wanda, Gwen, clear the field."
"Understood!"
Just as the words fell.
Gwen turned her wrist.
Swoosh!
Two web-shooters shot out like lightning, sticking to two guys carrying rocket launchers.
Gwen pulled hard.
"Bang!"
The rocket launcher flew out of hand, was entangled by another web strand in mid-air, and smashed fiercely against the wall.
At the same time.
Wanda's hands lit up with Chaos Magic.
"Get lost!"
Red energy swept across the entire street like a violent storm passing by.
The terrorists were blown away without even having time to scream out!
They flew a dozen meters away, smashed heavily on buildings and cars, and passed out on the spot.
Crisis, resolved.
Seeing that the terrorists were dealt with, the woman in the green dress finally relaxed her tense nerves.
The wall in front of her also instantly collapsed, turning into asphalt and gravel scattered on the ground.
The woman gasped heavily, leaning against the wall somewhat weakly.
She raised her head, looking at the three Lucas who walked out from the dark, her eyes full of vigilance and doubt.
"Who... are you?"
Lucas strode up to the woman, revealing a gentle and cultured smile.
"Don't be nervous, beautiful lady."
"We are just passing-by helpful citizens."
Lucas looked at the woman's vigilant eyes, his smile becoming even more charming.
"I am Lucas Stark."
"I saw that the magic show you performed just now was very exciting."
"I wonder if you're interested in coming to Stark Industriesto talk to me about cooperation regarding matter conversion?"
The woman was stunned.
Lucas Stark?!
That playboy? The world's richest man? Superman?!
Glancing at Lucas, and then looking at Wanda and Gwenbehind him.
These two women should be the Scarlet Witch and Ghost Spider of the Justice League.
She had lived for thousands of years, carefully hiding her identity all along.
But today, to save people, she had to expose her power.
And what made her even more uneasy was that although Lucas was smiling,
her sharp intuition told her that Lucas was strong, stronger than herself!
"I... My name is Sersi."
The woman hesitated for a moment, but still said her name.
"Mr. Stark... thank you for your help."
"But... I don't need cooperation."
"Oh, Ms. Sersi."
Lucas chuckled softly.
"In my dictionary, there is never the word 'unnecessary'."
"Since you've exposed your Superpower, from now on, you are a key protection target of the Justice League."
Lucas made a gesture of invitation.
"Let's go, let's change to a quiet place and chat nicely about your future."
