Chapter 407: Manhattan Earthquake
The Ancient One mage explained in detail the magic power of magicians, the qi of qi practitioners, the electricity of humans, and the divine power of Asgard, etc., and perfected Greel's understanding of these different powers. No matter who it is, no matter what kind of civilization it is, it needs to consume energy to maintain its existence.
Or the foundation that supports the universe is energy, the simplest example, people will die if they don't eat, and the universe will also 'die' without energy, Asgard, Frost Giants and many other races have learned how to use energy in a long time.
This is like words, different regions and races have their own words, and countless races in the universe have created different ways to use energy. Some are strengthening themselves, some are using external objects, and some are double cultivating...
The biggest difference between a qi practitioner and a magician is that one constructs a magic circle in the body and uses qi as energy, so as to bring strong power to himself; The other is to construct a magic circle outside the body, using magic as energy to perform powerful magical skills.
The above is Greer's own understanding, the ancient master said that it is mysterious and mysterious, quite a bit of 'the Buddha smiled', everything that should be said has been said, and the rest is to realize it yourself.
In the final analysis, the strength of the Manchurian people is based on the situation of 'qi', the greater the combat intensity, the more and faster the gas is consumed, just like a tram, the whole journey is fifty yards and twenty yards, and the driving time is naturally different.
This is the second breakthrough point of the Manchurians, the first one was discovered by Greel as early as in the battle, that is, the sum of strength, speed and defense is certain, and the enhancement of one attribute will reduce the other attributes.
There is also a third point, which Grell is not sure of, that is, since the qi practitioner is in the body, if the qi explodes in the body, what will happen, light the explosive barrel?
Coming to Kama Taj full of doubts, he left with more questions, some questions were answered, but also more philosophical questions, such as time: past, present, future, in what way does it exist, and why does it change?
Bidding farewell to the Ancient One Mage in the palace at the gathering point of the three major temples, Greer couldn't help but glance at the Eye of Agamotto placed on the stone pillar engraved with dense symbols, turned around and walked towards the space door leading to the Twisted Temple, and at the moment of entering the space door, Greer still couldn't help but speak: "Casillas will attract Dormammu, this is the future I know." β
After speaking, Grell walked into the space door, instantly returned to the Twisting Temple, turned around, the ancient one mage stood on the stone steps with a calm face, as if he didn't hear Greel's words, Greer didn't say anything more, raised his hand to the right and waved, closing the space door.
The passage spanning tens of thousands of kilometers suddenly turned back into a wall, and the countless symbols and rays of light that emitted brilliant light around it also dimmed with the closing of the space door, until it completely disappeared, making this room become dull again, and it was impossible to see that there was a space door that could span tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant.
"I hope this reminder helpsβ" Before Grell could finish his whisper, he felt the floor shake beneath his feet, followed by the whole room, and a dull sound sounded in his ears, as if a subway was speeding underground.
"Earthquake?!" Grell first thought of this, but he didn't panic, the New York Temple Gardland Castle Dragon, even if it is a ten-magnitude earthquake, is not afraid, after all, the Deland Castle Dragon can fly, and no matter how strong the earthquake is, it can't shake the air.
The earthquake lasted only four or five seconds before it stopped, and the magnitude of the shaking was so small that the items placed on the window edge did not fall, which shows how low the magnitude of this wave is. Grell didn't take it seriously, after all, it was a natural disaster, not something that could be stopped by manpower, if ordinary people would still panic and pound for a while, but now Grell can easily escape in the face of a big flood, so after the earthquake, he walked out of the room and continued to be busy with his own affairs.
But Greer is so relaxed, it doesn't mean that other people can also be relaxed, after the earthquake stopped, many people hurriedly ran out of their homes, came to the open place outside, for a time the streets, squares, and parks were full of people, everyone had panic on their faces, for fear that a stronger earthquake would strike.
The New York City government also took action as soon as possible, quickly determined the earthquake level, whether it caused damage, etc., and fed back this information to the citizens through TV stations, radio, mobile phone text messages, etc., and notified the police department to take to the streets to maintain order.
For a while, the LED screen on the street of Manhattan, where scaffolding can be seen everywhere, scrolled with earthquake information to reassure the citizens that this is just a very weak earthquake and has not caused any damage to Manhattan, so please rest assured......
Indeed, as the government has released, the earthquake was so small that you couldn't even feel it when you dozed off, only a small number of people ran outside, and even many construction workers continued to work on scaffolding without noticing that the earthquake was happening.
As a result, the turmoil caused by the earthquake quickly passed, and within two hours, Manhattan was calm again, and except for a few people who insisted on setting up tents outside, the vast majority of people returned to their homes to continue working and living.
But this does not mean that this is over, the earthquake bureau report on Manhattan just came out, and before it could be released, it was encrypted, sealed, and then asked to publish the revised earthquake report, and the real earthquake report was sent to a higher government department.
An earthquake of less than a magnitude is indeed not worth mentioning, but the point is that the epicenter of this earthquake is only 90 meters above the ground, which is lower than many skyscrapers in Manhattan, and the earthquake with an epicenter of more than 30 kilometers is called a very shallow earthquake, which is very common on Earth and occurs every year.
But no matter how close it is to the ground, the epicenter is more than ten kilometers away, how can it be only 90 meters, and there are still 108,000 miles away from the lithosphere, and there are no conditions for an earthquake to occur, so after the epicenter was determined, it immediately attracted the attention of many parties, and quickly sent people to investigate to find out how this earthquake, which was less than 100 meters above the ground, was formed.
In the Trident building, Nick Fury also received this report of an abnormal earthquake in Manhattan, only Manhattan Island felt the tremor, New Jersey, Queens, and Brooklyn, and there was no tremor, so the source of the earthquake was 90 meters underground in Manhattan.
Nick Fury finished reading the report, and there was no expression on his dark face from beginning to end, and directly transferred the report out, saying, "Inform Agent Wu that the target is in Manhattan, find it for me." β
The intelligent program faithfully executed Nick Fury's orders, sent the encrypted file, and backed up the task.
The outside world was changing, but the temple was quiet, and Grell left the temple once again and went to the Stark Building, which was still under repair, to tell Stark and Banner what he knew about the Manchurians.
Banner listened to the whole process, his mouth was a little surprised, he never thought that the Oriental Immortals were not myths, think about it seriously, it seems that there is nothing to be surprised about, after all, Norse mythology does have its own people, and Thor is still in the limelight in the Battle of New York.
Stark also had a cold face the whole time, did not show any shock, and was quite accustomed to it, until Grell finished speaking, he asked, "Does Kunlun care about the reckless behavior on the earth?" β
"Asgard sent Thor."
"I don't know," Grell stretched out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said quite helplessly, "Before today, Kunlun was just a mountain name for me. How many people are there in Kunlun, well, immortals, and strength, I don't know, the Supreme Mage didn't say it, and maybe I don't know, after all, no one will show their true strength when they are fine. β
"Doesn't the Supreme Mage care?" Stark asked again.
Grell shook his head again, the ancient one mage didn't have any intention of taking care of it, even if the battle of the twist of the Zetari invaded, no mage appeared, "Doctor Strange" movie seems to say that the Avengers are guarding the earth on the physical level, and the Supreme mage is guarding the earth on the magical level.
Stark clapped his hands and said, "good, then it's up to us to deal with this Manchurian." β
"He's not easy to deal with." Banner said, "And we don't even know where he is?" β
"He'll show up on his own." Stark pressed the remote control in front of him as he spoke, and the window due south instantly turned into a monitor, and a video began to play, in which the main character was still Mandarin, dressed in the usual black robe and wearing ten rings, sitting on a seat covered with animal skins, and in a dim tone, uttering his provocative declaration.
It is still a lesson for President Ellis, and there are many shots of the US military fighters, tanks, army, and navy bombing cities in desert oases in the Middle East, and the people of the Middle East wailing and dying miserably in the war.
After remembering the suffering of the people of the Middle East, the second half of the class began, and columns of flames rose one after another from an air base, one after another warplanes parked in hangars or on runways were blown to pieces, and finally a black mushroom cloud rose from a martyred oil depot.
The black smoke rising into the sky can be said to cover the sky and the sun, and the columns of black smoke rising from the US imperialist air base can be seen from a long distance, and there is no need to look closer, you will know that this air base is absolutely useless, and even if the people inside are not killed, they will be shocked to death by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and it is considered lucky that one of the hundred people can survive.
In the best half minute of the video, Mandalin became the absolute protagonist as usual, and said to the camera: "President Ellis, this kind of attack will not stop, and those places where you think you are safe are actually vulnerable." The warriors took action, gathered under the banner of the Ten Rings, and together drove out the invaders, long live freedom! β
The image stopped abruptly, Stark put down the remote control in his hand, and said: "This is the video that was intercepted two days ago, but outside North America, especially in the Middle East, almost everyone knows that the Ten Commandments Gang is the initiator of the terrorist attack, and called on the Arabs to unite against the oppression of the Western world, for which they launched another terrorist attack and blew up the second air base." β
"Where there is oppression, there is resistance, the eternal truth." Grell didn't have any empathetic sadness, if it weren't for the Manchurian gang, he would never care about the Ten Rings Gang, even Stark wouldn't be involved in such an incident, if Harpy hadn't been bombed in the movie, he would never have provoked Mandarin by making his address public.
Stark was noncommittal, put down the wine glass in his hand, opened another file, and said while tapping on the virtual keyboard with his head down: "Since last week, the oil field production in the Middle East has been declining continuously, and in just one week, the decline has been 70 percent, and the reason is the same, the oil field facilities have been destroyed. The police apprehended some of the saboteurs, who confessed that they had started a holy war at the behest of the Ten Commandments. β
"After all, developed countries are highly dependent on oil, so they are naturally affected"
Stark's steel suit was dismantled without resistance, which filled his heart with fear, and a person was defeated in the most proud place, and Grell saw the power of the combination of different abilities, and the various abilities of the Manchurian were converted and even combined at will, and he easily defeated Greel, who surpassed him in a single ability
President Ellis
The Manchurian wanted to take advantage of Mandarin's popularity and be his stand-in to control this puppet to call for war in the Middle East, causing chaos in the Middle East, monopolizing oil, and global energy skyrocketing, Stark and Osborne became a hit. As a result, the Osborne Group actually developed an artificial sun, which was stolen by Hydra and copied the artificial sun in Sokovia to become Ortron Energy
Stark deliberately let Rhodes wear Mark2 over, and the internal parts were equipped with trackers, in order to see who would steal his technology, so as to track down Rongke Industrial Stark's steel suit was dismantled without resistance, which made him full of fear, and a person was defeated by the most proud place, and Grell saw the power of the combination of different abilities, and the various abilities of the Manchurian were converted and even combined at will, and easily defeated Greel, whose single ability surpassed him
