Chapter 2: The Spiritual Realm of Lotus

"Doctor, this is not the place to talk." Seeing that Dr. Otto wanted to say something more, Toni interrupted the conversation and said angrily.

Dr. Otto smirked, and said in a hearty voice, "Yes, the Demon King's eyes are on us. Let's go back to the base first. Come with us, young man. The latter sentence was said by looking at Luke.

Before Luke could speak, Toni raised her eyebrows and objected, "I object." Doctor, how can you take a stranger to our stronghold. In the unlikely event that those Natsuri Miscellaneous discovered our stronghold, all of them would die. ”

Dr. Otto laughed, "I understand, Tony. The location of the stronghold is confidential, and it is fundamental to our survival. But have you thought about it, the most unlikely person to have anything to do with Nacui is him. ”

Toni was stunned for a moment, looking at Luke as Dr. Otto was pointing, her fair face thoughtful.

"Because he's Asian?" Toni hesitated.

"That's right." Dr. Otto nodded and smiled, "Because he's Asian." The purebred Natsu bastards would never allow an Asian to enter their army. So, uh, young man, forgot to ask what your name was? ”

"You can call me Luke." Luke replied.

"Oh, Luke." Dr. Otto laughed, "So, Luke is the least likely to be a Natsui spy." It's okay to take him back to our stronghold. We now need every strength that dares to resist Nacui. ”

Dr. Otto looked at Luke with a smile, "I saw your brave deeds just now. I was impressed by that orange protective force field. Luke, I'm guessing you're a mutant, right? ”

"Well, sort of." Luke casually agreed, and he didn't know how to explain himself. I simply don't explain it.

"Great! Join us! Dr. Otto said passionately, "Join us in rebelling against the tyranny of the Demon King and overthrow these Na Cui Miscellaneous!" The suffering people need your strength, Luke! ”

"Uh......" Luke was speechless, his head almost turning a little.

Toni looked at Luke with a pair of dark eyes, and she didn't object anymore.

Meeting the stares of the two of them, Luke asked helplessly, "I want to find out what kind of place this is." Why are there so many Nacui gendarmes here? ”

Toni looked strange and replied, "Here? This is, of course, New York. ”

"New York?" Luke had a look of surprise on his face.

He couldn't help but look at the buildings around him, these skyscrapers with Nacui flags hanging everywhere, where was there half of his impression of New York? There are a few iconic high-rise buildings that feel a bit plausible.

"How could New York be taken over by Nacui?" Luke asked, surprised.

"Because Nacui won that war. What planet are you from, and why don't you even know these basic common sense? Tony's gaze became more strange and confused.

She suddenly remembered something, and suddenly realized, "Oh! I see, you're Chinese. I envy you to stay away from war. ”

This inexplicable-sounding sentence made Luke suddenly look dazed.

Dr. Otto could see that Luke seemed to be somewhat "ignorant" about everything in front of him. Although he was also surprised in his heart, how could there be such a simple and ignorant person as Luke now.

"Let's talk as we go?" Dr. Otto looked at Luke and suggested.

Luke thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Toni turned to greet the men, and the large crowd of gun-wielding masked men around them raised their trophies and scattered in pairs into the streets in all directions, just as they had just burst out from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the huge square seemed even more empty. Only a messy battle scene was left behind, and the corpse of a **gendarme's who was ignored by no one. Not far away, the shop that had been hit by a car bomb was still burning.

Tony, Dr. Otto, and Luke walked together.

Dr. Otto smiled kindly, patiently explaining to Luke as he walked, "Seventy years ago, in the midst of the terrible war that swept the world, our ally China wiped out Japan in the Asian theater, and then they built an impregnable shield to isolate the entire country from the outside world. Not even Nacui was able to break through their shields. Actually, I'm curious, as a Chinese, how did you come to New York? ”

"Straight to the point, Dr. Talker." Toni grumbled helplessly, then looked at Luke and said, "It's kind of like the orange shield you just used." ** Germany even used nuclear bombs, but failed to break through the protective shield of the Chinese. ”

"The kind I use? Reading the air cover? Luke was slightly stunned.

Dr. Otto was a little embarrassed by Tony's number, and he coughed lightly and laughed, "Yes." But in North America, we fell. Natsuri Miscellaneous ruled the place, enslaving the majority. And those of us who are not willing to be enslaved can only hide underground and organize resistance. This struggle has lasted for 70 years, and I don't know how long it will last. ”

As they spoke, they came to a street, where Dr. Otto and Toni stopped.

"We're here." Dr. Otto said with a smile.

Luke looked around suspiciously, it was a street not too far from the square, but where was there a rebel stronghold?

"Tony, you're coming to the palace." Dr. Otto said in a commanding tone.

"Understood."

Toni agreed, then stared at Luke with suspicion, and said to Luke in a warning tone, "When you get to the stronghold, be honest with me." It's best not to let me know what other intentions and schemes you have. Otherwise, hum ......"

With that, she glanced nonchalantly at Luke's crotch, raised her palm, and lit up the palm cannon.

Toni dropped the Iron Man mask and took off suddenly, flying into the air to patrol.

Luke that waterfall Khan.

Is this the mother-in-law Tony? How can this stand it......

Luke then finally understood where the stronghold was, it turned out to be below the ground, in the sewers.

Dr. Otto lifted a manhole cover, greeted Luke, and quickly climbed down.

Luke followed suit, and went down the drain. Then the two walked along a dark passage full of strange smells, and after walking for about ten minutes, they came to a dead end.

In front of an iron door, Dr. Otto knocked rhythmically several times.

The iron window on the door was immediately opened, and the people inside glanced at the two outside, whispered about Dr. Otto's Luke's identity, and then opened the iron door.

"This is the rebel stronghold?"

Upon entering, Luke looked at his surroundings in amazement, and felt that he could only describe it as dirty and messy.

The whole stronghold was like a slum and overcrowded. Many of them were refugees, and they looked quite miserable on the outside. In addition, there are armed rebel fighters patrolling in groups, but here they have removed their bank robber-like masks.

Dr. Otto led Luke as he walked as he greeted the people passing by. Looks like he knows everyone here, including the refugees. And it can be seen that the people here have a lot of respect for Dr. Otto.

Luke followed behind with a slightly strange expression, looking at the back of Doctor Octopus in front of him. Doctor Octopus, the villain in the Marvel world, has become a leader in the rebellion against Nacui's tyranny here?

The terrain in the stronghold was extremely complicated, and after the two of them turned around again, Luke couldn't remember how many forks in the road they had walked.

The place as a whole looks like an old-fashioned bomb shelter. It's just a lot more breath of life. Along the way, Luke even saw people setting up small stalls to do barbecue business. The barbecue on the stove looks charred, and God knows what kind of meat it is.

The two of them finally came to a relatively large space, where there were no civilians, but only armed rebel fighters. Several sandbag fortifications are scattered in the corridor, separating it from the living areas of the refugees.

When Dr. Otto came in, he smiled and asked one of the soldiers on duty, "Is Hawkeye back?" ”

The rebel soldier glanced at Luke vigilantly, then replied respectfully, "Doctor, Hawkeye is out on a mission and hasn't come back yet." ”

Dr. Otto nodded.

Luke was surprised when he heard this, Hawkeye was also here?

Dr. Otto turned to Luke with a smile and said, "I think you're tired too, I'll take you to your lodgings first." ”

"Uh, okay." Luke nodded.

Along the way, Luke could clearly feel that everyone he passed by was more or less distrustful of him. Some people's eyes were directly full of suspicion, staring at him like a thief.

It's no wonder that these people are here, and on the ground is Nacui's search and arrest team. The living conditions here are dirty and poor, and the sad thing is that people have to live in a tense atmosphere at all times.

In this way, it is absolutely normal for these people to be wary of strangers and outsiders.

Of course, there are a few people who give Luke a relatively kind smile when they see him. Luke reciprocated kindness.

"Let's live here." Dr. Otto led Luke to an empty room and said to him with a smile.

The so-called room doesn't even have a door, it's just a small space, and a bed is placed inside. However, the environment is also clean, and it is not as unbearable as imagined.

"You can rest for the night. We'll talk about it tomorrow. If you have any requests, you can also put them forward. We will try our best to accommodate everyone's requests when we can. Dr. Otto smiled kindly.

"Thank you, Doctor." Luke nodded. In the face of a "heart-changing" villain, Doctor Octopus, he can't always speak coldly.

Dr. Otto reached over and patted Luke on the shoulder a few times, then nodded, and left.

Luke did feel a little tired, too. In a short period of time, it seemed as if he had spent a century. All kinds of unbelievable things happened one after another, so that he didn't have time to prepare.

The little spider was blackened, and he didn't know him anymore.

Iron Man actually turned into a woman, named Toni Stark. (Male Tony, Female Toni)

and Doctor Octopus, who has become a leader.

And this terrible world dominated by Nacui......

Everything was like a dream.

Luke lay down in bed and sighed, he knew it wasn't a dream. This is made by Long-legged Lotus.

Luke folded his arms on his back, his brow furrowed, silently thinking.

"Long-legged Lotus said that in order to give me a chance, it will be in its world, keep me awake. It seems that this is the situation in front of us. Everyone has become different, even diametrically opposed, as if the whole world has been turned upside down. This is most likely the spiritual world of the long-legged Lotus. This is, after all, one of the abilities that the Eighth Apostle excels at. ”

Long-legged Lotus is the overlord of the seas, almost invincible in the ocean environment. In addition, it is best at tentacle attacks, carrying a thousand blades, and is actually an octopus swordsman. Another of the most typical abilities is mental attack.

The effects of Lotus' psychic attack manifest as confusion, sleep, and vertigo. In front of this chaotic situation, everyone seems to have fallen into another life, which makes Luke involuntarily remind him of the "framework" in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D".

To connect the spirits of all people and to shape such a spiritual realm where everyone is plausible. The spiritual realm of Rotes.

Everyone thinks that's the reality. However, everyone does not know that they are actually in a spiritual world.

As for Lotus' purpose in creating chaos, Lotus said that it wanted to widen the rift in another dimension so that more apostles could come to the Marvel world.

The dimensional wall has the property of self-repairing, and the way to widen it is to continue to stir up the dimensional wall of this world, so that the name of the apostle is more deeply imprinted under the rules of this world.

Luke gradually figured it out.

For a long time, the biggest difficulty in the arrival of the Apostle is that since there was no Apostle in the Marvel world, in principle, the Apostle could not come here at all. Therefore, it is necessary to spread the name of the apostle in the Marvel world first.

This is the task of his host, to make trouble, to spread the glory of the apostles, to make the name of the apostles deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

When there is enough concept of "apostle" in the Marvel world, a crack will open up in the dimensional wall of the two worlds. When the time came, the long-legged Lotus came.

But because the dimensional wall quickly repaired itself, if more apostles were to come, a larger rift would need to be opened again.

What could stir up the dimensional wall more than chaos?

This is like a person's brain, which is easy to be brainwashed when the brain is deranged, and it is in this way that Lotus is "brainwashing" the dimensional wall, so that the cosmic rules of the Marvel world will completely accept the existence of the "apostle".

"It should be said that he is worthy of the eighth apostle, and he is doing a big move......" Luke was a little unsure of how to feel.

As it stands, the end result is obviously not going to be too good. First of all, how is death determined in the spiritual realm of Rotes, where death is just kicked out, or will it really die?

Considering that Lotus said that everyone should give their lives for it, Luke leaned towards the latter.

This again has to reiterate the opposing positions of the two sides.

"Changing the fate of the apostles, to put it mildly, where do I start now?" Luke felt a little at a loss. His enthusiastic offer to change the fate of the apostle is all wishful thinking on his part.

"Let's take a step at a time, the car will naturally go straight to the bridge, the Marvel universe is so vast, I believe there will always be a solution."

Thinking like this, Luke gradually began to fight his eyelids and fell asleep dimly.
