Chapter 23: The Avengers
Although Li Zheng is very interested in going to the fourth world, that is, the world of Iron Man Tony. But the current situation of the empire does not allow it.
The crisis is coming, as the emperor, he must sit in the middle palace, this is his duty and obligation!
As for the two new worlds, the initial exploration tasks will be handed over to the mercenaries to complete. Whatever it did, it wouldn't have much impact on the empire
The world of the fourth plane can be described as the Marvel world.
The earth in this world has just had an alien invasion, and under the efforts of many 'superheroes' and various coincidences, the aliens have finally been repelled with difficulty.
But above that high heaven, there was a dark vortex left behind - it was a space-time portal.
Originally, the repulsion of aliens should be a joyous thing, and it should be cheered and celebrated, but the dark whirlpool makes people's hearts depressed.
Someone proposed to launch a few more nuclear bombs into it, but it was rejected.
Because no one knows what's inside this whirlpool that reappeared after the explosion of the nuclear bomb. It would be unimaginable if a nuclear bomb were launched again and again, but it would have unintended consequences.
After a short rest, everyone discussed for a while, and felt that they should first explore the bottom of the whirlpool. So Iron Man Tony volunteered, changed into a new set of armor, and rushed into that maelstrom.
The top floor of Stark Tower, which was in shambles because of the war that had just passed.
Nick, the one-eyed dragon, was dressed in a black trench coat, and he looked up at the whirlpool in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Behind him, Black Widow Natasha, Captain America Steve, Thor Thor, Hulk Banner, and Hawkeye Patton were also silent, and no one spoke.
It's Loki on the side. He looked at these people who had failed him with interest, his eyes flickering slightly.
After a long time, Nick turned around and said to the five: "Avengers, what do you think?" I mean, this vortex is supposed to be a space tunnel, right? Thor. You are Thor, well-informed, what do you think, opposite this space tunnel, what should be the place? β
Thor carried a hammer, and the armor and red cloak on his body reflected him, but he was mighty.
He looked up at the black whirlpool and frowned, "The aura of this whirlpool is very unfamiliar, and I don't have any impression. It shouldn't be any of the nine kingdoms! β
"Maybe. It's a space tunnel to other star fields in this universe" Loki laughed: "The army of the Zirita people was repelled by you, but it was because of your luck. Perhaps, you will face an even more dangerous enemy! β
"Shut up!"
Black Widow glanced at the loser and turned to the crowd, "Let's wait until Tony comes back." β
Nick nodded noncommittally.
"Tony has been there for two hours, and I don't know if I'm going to be in danger." Captain America Steve frowned, "We should send someone to pick him up." β
"Mortal, you have a lot of guts." Loki sneered, "In the face of the unknown, the only thing you can do is wait, wait for death. Ha ha. β
"Loki!"
Thor glared at Loki fiercely and said to S.H.I.E.L.D., "Nick." What are your thoughts? β
"Perhaps," he muttered.
"The population of Manhattan should be evacuated immediately, and then the White House should bring troops over." Captain America Steve said in a deep voice: "We must first ensure the safety of ordinary people!" β
Nick nodded.
"You guys wait here for Tony to come back, and I'll go and inform the big men in the White House first."
With that, Nick turned and walked away.
"Hasn't Tony come back yet?"
At this time, Pepper Potts walked out.
Nick nodded and reassured, "I think Tony should be fine." You don't have to worry. β
Potts nodded reluctantly.
After Nick left the top floor, several superheroes were discussed.
There is a unanimous view of this emerging vortex, and that is to be cautious. No one knows what's in there, for Earth. It's good or bad.
"We'll wait another three hours, and if there's still no movement, if Tony hasn't come back, then we'll have to send someone in again." Steve said, "We are here, only Thor is the most suitable." You are a god, you can fly freely, you can adapt to a variety of environments, we can't. β
Thor nodded.
"Thor, don't forget, you are the heir of Asgard" Loki, who was handcuffed, said otherwise: "Of course, if you die, I will be able to inherit the throne of the god king in the name of righteousness, hehe." β
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help frowning.
Indeed, although Thor is a member of the Avengers, he is also the heir to the god-king of Asgard. In the face of this sudden appearance of the whirlpool, in the face of unknown dangers, let Thor, as the successor of the God King, go to the thunder, I'm afraid
Thinking of the consequences, Steve stopped talking.
"It's fine." Thor didn't care, and raised his hammer with a smile.
He has fought countless battles in his life, and he has never been afraid.
At this time, groups of American GIs were armed with armored vehicles, tanks, airplanes, and so on, and set up in this area.
Countless cannon ports were aimed at the black whirlpool.
At the same time, the ordinary people who remained in this area were also quickly evacuated to the periphery under the official organization.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
At this moment, Stark Building became a military stronghold.
There is already a military headquarters, set up in this building.
Nick Fury walked up and said, "Let's go and rest for a while, and I'll let you know as soon as there's anything going onβdon't worry." β
Everyone nodded and went down to the top floor together.
Soon, evening arrived, and it was getting dark.
But Iron Man Tony was still nowhere to be seen, and by this time, everyone couldn't sit still.
Thor prepares to take a look, but is blocked.
Nick consulted with the military, so he asked the pilot to put on a spacesuit and instruct him to fly a fighter plane into the whirlpool.
They want to do it this way. Investigate the situation.
But, to everyone's disappointment, that fighter plane was never returned!
In the whirlpool.
This is a space-time channel, a passage between two independent dimensional worlds, not similar to a space-space tunnel in the same space. Enter the space-time channel, there is no advance or retreat!
The fighter was originally going to go in and have a look. and came back to report the news.
But he couldn't help himself.
Entering the space-time channel, you can only follow the colorful light path, straight ahead, want to turn around? Delusion!
As a result, this fighter plane passed through the space-time passage and arrived at the Plane Gate Square, where it was easily captured by the Origin Empire's garrison army!
Half an hour later, the whirlpool above the sky was still slowly spinning.
Nick walked back and forth irritably, suddenly. The sound of headphones in your ears.
"No, no, no, you can't do that!"
Nick shouted, "We don't know what's in there, and if we attack, something unexpected might happen!" β
"You! Fack! β
Nick scolded and said to the crowd, "Get out of here!" β
As he spoke, he strode onto the platform at the front of the building and boarded a plane: "Those madmen of the military are going to attack this whirlpool, and this place is under artillery fire. will no longer be safe! β
When everyone heard this, they all frowned.
Potz looked panicked: "Tony hasn't come back yet!" Nick. What about Tony?! β
Nick's face froze, speechless, and he said for a long time: "Listen to Potts, I can't influence the military's decision-making." We can only pray for Tony that God will bless him. β
Shortly after the plane left the building, the rumbling of artillery resounded throughout the city. Shells with fire. Pulling up a slip of smoke, whistling into the whirlpool.
The sound of explosions, fire, and smoke completely enveloped the black whirlpool, and clouds of mushrooms collapsed high in the sky, and countless shrapnel flew in all directions.
The entire Stark Building. It was quickly cut off by a missing shell, or a flying shrapnel.
After a long time, the sound of the cannon stopped, but when the smoke cleared, I found that the whirlpool was still spinning steadily, without the slightest change!
All kinds of artillery shells and rockets, regardless of the yield size, the fluctuations caused by the explosion were immediately absorbed by the channel after rushing into the space-time channel, and not even a single wave was set off.
Such a low-level attack force has no effect at all on the space-time passage suppressed by the plane gate. Even if there is no Plane Gate to suppress it, the barrier between the two independent plane worlds cannot be shaken by this kind of attack.
Nick unconsciously opened his mouth and widened his eyes.
He didn't expect this to be the case!
Only Thor, the god of thunder, had a solemn face: "The long-term existence of the space tunnel must have enough energy support, generally speaking, it is very fragile, in the face of such artillery fire, the energy of the support is unstable, and it should collapse." But you see it."
"Maybe there's an artifact suppression, something like your hammer." Loki squinted slightly, looked at the vortex that had not changed at all, and said lightly.
Steve rubbed his eyebrows, tightened the shield in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Then what should I do?" Launching a nuclear bomb? β
"Maybe"
Before Nick could finish his sentence, a nuclear bomb came out of the air and rushed into the vortex.
Through that whirlpool, several superheroes with keen senses and powerful bodies clearly saw that all the fluctuations caused by the explosion of the nuclear bomb did not reveal a trace from the whirlpool, but immediately dissipated!
"It's useless!"
Thor sighed and unconsciously shook the hammer in his hand: "I think, this is extraordinary"
"Hey, everybody knows." Loki sneered, "Thor, I'm going back to Asgard immediately, I don't want to stay here anymore." β
Thor ignored Loki and said to Nick and the others: "There are many powerful beings in the universe, and our Asa Protoss is not the top. Perhaps on the other side of this passage is an extremely powerful force, and we must be mentally prepared - I think Nick, you should gather all the forces you can muster, otherwise I don't know what the consequences will be if the enemy on the other side invades! β
Nick's face was dumbfounded, and he nodded for a long time: "I see." β
As he spoke, he pressed the earphones in his ear and stepped aside. (To be continued......)
