Chapter 128: A Terrible Future
In Miquel's world line, a civil war breaks out. And it ended with the death of both Captain America and Iron Man. The leaders of the two factions died, leaving the faction leaderless.
"It was the darkest of times, because the superhero war continued to expand in the later stages. It's no longer just about fighting for the Hero Registration Act. Miquair continued in a low voice.
"There are many other conflicts that have been mixed in with it as a result of this brawl. All kinds of contradictions and conflicts occur frequently all over the world, and once the flame of hatred is ignited, it will not be easily extinguished. Three years is enough time to tear the world to pieces. ”
"When everyone stopped, they found that the world had changed beyond recognition. Miquiel's words made Li Jie a little happy.
Fortunately, he has fundamentally eliminated the source of the civil war in his own world line, otherwise if the civil war really breaks out, no one in the world will be able to avoid this protracted war.
It's like World War II, if you want to think of yourself as the main character, you can just sit back and watch the theater? Bombs and atomic bombs don't have eyes.
However, Li Jie still has a doubt, that is, the world is like this, won't Iron Man and Captain America sit down and have a good talk?
These two are not stupid, they will watch the world fall into a thousand holes?!
Li Jie raised his doubts, and Miquel also answered Li Jie's doubts: "In fact, there are opportunities for reconciliation in history. When the war first expanded, Captain Rogers wanted to turn himself in. In this way to stop the war. ”
"And when the pattern of war expands for the second time, and it spreads to the whole world. Iron Man also intends to give up insisting and simply admit defeat. But both of these chances for peace were fleeting. And there is one behind all this, and that is the chairman of the Osborne Group, Norman Osborn!" Miquel looked excited and clenched his fists at the name.
In Li Jie's world, Norman had long since died, and he didn't make much of a storm at all. And in front of the public, Norman has always maintained the image of a successful entrepreneur.
But in this world, Norman Osborne has become the image of the supervillain that Li Jie is familiar with. Not only is everything controlled behind the scenes, but the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger.
Because Tony closed the weapons manufacturing division after becoming Iron Man, and the Osborne Group became the largest arms supplier to the United States and the world.
Maybe it was just to make money at first, so Norman kept fanning the flames to make things bigger. Later, Norman found that he could make more money in it, not just money, but more things like power.
After that, Norman united with the other villains of the world and expanded the scale of the war until it was no longer a situation that Iron Man and Captain America could control.
And after that, because of Norman and others secretly fueling the fire, Iron Man and Captain America both lost. It's not just that they died, but that many of those who followed them died.
"A large number of heroes have died in this war. The vast majority of the heroes we named lost their lives. Miguill told the story at the end.
"The government has lost control of the country in this war and has lost all its prestige. And because of the death of a large number of heroes, society has also entered a state of panic. And at a time when all the populace was in turmoil, Norman Osborne appeared. He deceived the people with his semblance of benevolence and morality. and gathered his criminal gang to form a new dark avenger. ”
"Because of the appearance of the Dark Avengers, or rather the show. It made many people feel that Norman Osborne was a person who could be trusted. The Dark Avengers are just like the superheroes of the past, good guys. Miquair shook his head as he spoke.
"But what people don't know is that these dark avengers are actually supervillains. They're just changing their skin to deceive everyone. But in those turbulent years, many people believed in Norman Osborne. ”
"He used the trust of the people to gain power until now. He was given the highest power, not the president of the United States. Instead, it forced Congress to amend many bills. Many of the things that should have been government functions have been contracted to private companies. It's like the Alchemy Group is a subsidiary of the Osborne Group. And he has mastered S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Infinite Serum, which has kept him alive and vigorous until now. Miquair told all the things, and these past things surprised Li Jie and the others. The development of this world line is not good, and it can even be said that it is a very bad future.
"What about your abilities?" Li Jie pointed to Miquair and the American female captain. If the superheroes are dead, where do their abilities come from? Inheritance? Are they actually descendants of Peter Parker and Captain Rogers?
"Oh, don't look at us like that. We're not the heroes you think we're descending or anything. Roberta, the captain of the American women, waved her hand.
"Actually, it's a plan of the Osborne Group. After those superheroes died, or were captured and killed by them. They kept the DNA and blood samples of these people, and so on. Norman wanted to replicate the abilities of these superheroes. Miquiel pointed to himself.
"That's what I did. is a scientist at the Alchemy Corporation, responsible for making replica potions of these superheroes. But the more I learned about the company's shady history, I decided to part ways with them. I injected the Spider-Man serum, and Roberta was injected with the Super Soldier serum, which of course was extracted from the original hero. I'm afraid there won't be a replica. Miquill finally made it clear the origin of his two abilities.
"Okay, but the world looks really bad. Li Jie still remembers the gray sky over New York, which looked very polluted.
"yes, the world is already terrible. Oil and gas resources are basically depleted, but the alternative energy program is not going well. The consumption of resources in modern society is enormous. Fortunately, the United States is okay, I heard that some countries have entered the power rationing policy. Roberta, the American female captain, sighed.
"Wait, what about Tony Stark's new energy plan?!" Brian said almost subconsciously.
Because in his own worldline, Tony's Ark Reactor opens up a whole new field of human energy. LPG is no longer an essential energy source, and new energy sources are more efficient and environmentally friendly. And it can be supplied to the world cheaply.
"You mean the Ark? I didn't think anyone still remembered the Ark. Miquel remembered what he had read: "The Ark is a great way to generate energy, but unfortunately with the death of Tony Stark, this technology has also disappeared." Because only Stark has mastered this technique. When he dies, the technique is gone. New energy sources do not exist. ”
Li Gero asked thoughtfully, "So the information you stole today?"
Miquel raised the USB flash drive in his hand: "Actually, it's about a new energy source!"
