Richard was obviously not the kind of person who liked to be targetless, and the fact that he could say this was a testament to the fact that he had already calculated in his mind, including the speed of his return now, and the speed at which the Atlanteans might arrive.

"Is the city of Atlantis close to here? I was able to come in such a short time. Zhang Taibai asked in some surprise.

He was not afraid of the short-haired man calling someone to come, otherwise he would have been killed directly.

If he really had murderous intentions, how could he let a mere third-level escape.

But he didn't expect the Atlanteans to be able to kill them in such a short time, the sea is so big, even if the Atlanteans are fast in the sea, they shouldn't be able to come so quickly.

"The Kingdom of Atlantis has branch bases in many seas, but unfortunately, the royal capital is near here, and judging from the route we sailed, the royal capital is definitely closer to us than New York...... Richard said with a wry smile.

"Boss, what do we do now?" When Laura heard this, she also became a little worried.

She knows the Atlanteans relatively well, and knows that the Atlanteans are not very easy to mess with, although they can't fight against all mankind, but they are a transcendent country after all.

Even the strongest superpowers in the world will not easily trouble them.

In such a transcendent realm, there are not a few guys who are equivalent to third- and fourth-level transcendents on land.

Although there are now two quaint quadrants on the cruise ship, God knows how many Atlanteans will come?

If it's less than or equal to two, it's fine, but if it's more than two, it's dangerous.

It's the sea, it's the home of the Atlanteans.

"Since it's too late to turn back, let's go with the flow and don't worry too much." Zhang Taibai said unconcernedly.

"I'm going to contact the headquarters and hope to solve it through negotiation." The captain was also very decisive, and after hearing Richard say that it was too late to turn back, he thought about it and turned around and walked towards the cabin.

"I'll also contact my old man to see if he has anything to do." Li Tianshu also hurriedly walked to the side and made a phone call.

This boy was really frightened by this outing, especially after hearing that the Atlanteans were so difficult to provoke, he was even more frightened.

"Boss, do we need to prepare?" Laura saw that the captain and Li Tianshu had gone to contact the ship, and she was also thinking about whether to operate.

The network of the 'news agency' is definitely only stronger than that of the Arthur Group, and if you really want to find a way, you should be able to contact the top management of Atlantis.

Zhang Taibai shook his head and smiled, "Don't be so troublesome,"

"Zhang, I see that you don't seem to be worried about their retaliation?" Richard looked at Zhang Taibai with a little deep meaning and asked.

"Aren't you the same?" Zhang Taibai said with a smile.

Because both of them have confidence, they don't panic at all, so they have the leisure to pay attention to each other's situation.

When Richard noticed that Zhang Taibai was calm, Zhang Taibai also noticed that the other party was the same.

Zhang Taibai's reliance is naturally his own strength, but he is not very sure of this magical gentleman's reliance, in terms of strength, the other party is only level three, even if there is a stone man on the side, it should not be enough for him to have enough confidence.

Could it be that Thunderbolt and the Invisible Woman are also there?

Zhang Taibai couldn't help but guess.

The weakest combat power in the Fantastic Four is the boss Richard, who can become the boss by his head, not his fists.

Like Stone Renben, as well as Richard's brother-in-law Thunderbolt, they are all real fourth-level, and the invisible woman is slightly weaker, but she is also the top combat power in the third-level, but Richard, the boss, is the weakest, and it is just ordinary third-level combat power.

Of course, this is a comparison that does not count his achievements on the scientific side, otherwise the result would be diametrically opposed.

Like Tony, he is an ordinary person when he takes off his armor, but any soldier with some combat power can destroy him with his bare hands, but when he puts on Iron Man's armor, he can wrestle with Thor, which is completely different.

Richard's research is not in the same direction as Tony, so he doesn't transform into Iron Man like Tony, but some of the weapons he invented...... I'm afraid I can't carry it even if it's level five, it's a weapon that can really deal with 'gods'!

These understandings about Mr. Fantastic are derived from the memories of Zhang Taibai's previous life, so he is not sure whether the "gods" here refer to "gods" like the god king Odin, or those more incredible beings in the "Celestial God Group".

But no matter what it is, it is unimaginable for Zhang Taibai at this stage.

He had seen the scene of the God King's attack with his own eyes, and under that great power, it would be difficult for him to escape even if he wanted to, even if his current strength had gone further, he still did not have the slightest confidence that he would be able to escape under the hands of the God King.

Now, if he faces level five, he still has a chance of life.

But if it is replaced by the existence of the God King, it will really be ten deaths.

If Richard's invention can really threaten the God King, then even the fifth level will have to be afraid of three points.

However, this is just Zhang Taibai's speculation, because he is not sure whether Richard in this world has invented that kind of big killing weapon, and he is not sure whether Richard's hole cards are related to those big killing weapons.

There are still many discrepancies between many things in his memory and the real situation in this world.

is like the god king level in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that he is familiar with, but it is not as terrifying as he sees.

"Aren't they, sir, Richard, your wife?" Thinking of all kinds of possibilities, Zhang Taibai asked tentatively.

"Did you say Susanna and them? They didn't come this time, only Ben came with me. Richard shook his head.

"Looks like you have other hole cards, Doctor......"

"No way, I have a lot of enemies, I was stared at by a sworn enemy for half a year a while ago, and I finally found a chance to get rid of him, I'm afraid he will come to the door again." Richard said helplessly.

"It's rare to see people who can stare at you like this, I don't know why?"

"You've probably heard his name, he calls himself 'Doctor Doom.'" Richard said with some solemnity.

"If it's him, it's no wonder." Zhang Taibai was stunned.

In fact, before Richard could speak, he guessed that it might be Dr. Doom.

This is the most famous rival of the Fantastic Four, and not only the rivals of the Fantastic Four, many superheroes have suffered at his hands, including the Avengers.

However, according to the timeline, the current Avengers should not be able to compete with Doctor Doom.

Doctor Doom's current mortal enemies should still be mainly the Fantastic Four.

Speaking of which, this is also a legendary villain, and he is extremely inspirational.

Dr. Doom's real name is Victor von Doom, and he was a college classmate with Richard, and he has always maintained a competitive relationship with Richard in college, and later Doom was expelled from school due to some unexpected circumstances, and then embarked on the path of a villain.

It's a little funny, Zhang Taibai remembers seeing a stalk in his previous life, saying that villains are always much more inspirational than heroes, and these heroes are either rich second generations, or adventures from the sky, or they are loved by everyone.

On the other hand, those villains are all from humble births, have gone through ups and downs, and finally achieve success through hard work.

This meme is actually partially applicable to Richard and Doom.

Richard's ability was obtained by accident, which coincided with the adventure that fell from the sky, while Doom had to run to Tibet to find his power, and through hard work, he learned the power of magic.

His attainments in magic were not even weaker than Doctor Strange in the future!

What is this concept?

You must know that Doctor Strange is the next generation of Supreme Mage, and he is undoubtedly a fifth-level powerhouse!

Doctor Doom can have magic attainments that are not inferior to Doctor Strange, which proves that his magic level alone is already level five, not to mention that he is also a big guy on the technology side, and he is also a scientific genius.

In terms of inspiration, there are really not many people in the Marvel world who can compare with him, no matter whether they are decent villains.

"I don't know if the current Doctor Doom already has a fifth-level power, if he has it now...... It would be an exaggeration for Richard to compete with him......" Zhang Taibai thought to himself.

If Dr. Doom is really level five, this kind of all-round level five, Zhang Taibai is definitely not an opponent.

Not to mention that it is impossible to solve the other party, even to deal with it.

"But Richard shouldn't know Doctor Doom's true identity by now, should he tell him?" Zhang Taibai thought, "Forget it, that guy is a typical lone wolf villain, even if you know his identity, it's useless." ”

While Zhang Taibai was thinking to himself, Richard continued, "That guy is so difficult that it took me three months to set a trap to exile him to an unknown extradimensional space...... However, with his ability, he will find his way back sooner or later, but he is not sure how long it will take...... I hope it will be longer, preferably ten or eight years. ”

"I've heard for a long time that you have a good understanding of all kinds of science and technology, but I didn't expect that you even know something far ahead of the times, such as space transfer." Zhang Taibai sighed.

"It's nothing, I can only do this by combining some mysterious side forces that already exist on the earth, and I don't use pure scientific and technological power to achieve my goals." Richard told the truth.

"That's pretty remarkable, too."

"By the way, I heard Tony say, Zhang You are similar to the sword cultivator in Chinese myths and legends? I don't know if you'd like to share this knowledge with me, but it's the first time I've heard that there really is such a system of cultivation in reality, and I'm very curious. Richard suddenly turned into a technology maniac at this moment, and his gaze at Zhang Taibai was a little fanatical.

Seeing that Zhang Taibai was uncomfortable, he hurriedly said, "No problem, I'll go to you when I return to New York after I'm done." ”

Richard was overjoyed when he saw that Zhang Taibai agreed to his request, "That's great, I'll wait for you!" Speaking of this, he rolled his eyes and asked, "You should also go to the island of Yat to participate in the [Deep Blue Wine Party], right?" ”

"You too?" Zhang Taibai was surprised.

"Of course, our Fantastic Four are the honorary enforcers of the 'Deep Blue Club'." Richard laughed.

"What kind of honorary enforcer, a thug is a thug." The stone man on the side said quietly.

"Just you talk a lot." Richard said angrily.

This stone man who looks like a brutalist man always speaks like this, which makes people want to complain.

……

Guessing that the Atlanteans were very likely to come to retaliate, Zhang Taibai and the others simply rested on the deck and did not return to the cabin.

Richard is also curious about Zhang Taibai, a guy who is suspected of being a 'sword immortal', and constantly discusses this power with him.

Zhang Taibai didn't care too much, knowing that Richard had no malicious intentions, it was just a common problem among scientists.

He patiently demonstrated his strength to Richard, and also discussed with Richard, he actually wanted to see if this genius, known as the smartest human being, could give him some inspiration, so he agreed so decisively.

His cultivation methods are all from the Taibai Sword Codex, and he has always been self-taught.

It would definitely be a good deal to have some new inspiration with Richard's help.

As for whether he would worry about Richard stealing his practice, he really wasn't too worried about that.

Not to mention that he didn't tell Richard the method completely, take a step back and say, even if he really told it, how could it be so easy to cultivate, even he himself was able to get to this point today because of the assistance of the "Taibai Sword Codex".

“…… In this case, Zhang, your requirements for weapons are actually very high. Richard groaned after understanding Zhang Taibai's power.

"It's really not low, for example, if I use this 'Divine Sword', the lethality that can be exerted is many times higher than that of ordinary alloy swords, especially against those opponents whose defense is very strong, the effect will be better." Zhang Taibai said, and he had already manipulated the silver and white sword pills representing the 'Zhu Shen Sword' and the blue and black sword pills of ordinary alloys to fly up respectively.

In mid-air, the two sword pills turned into long swords.

"I feel that your refining method is still too rough, is it called refining?" Richard touched his chin, and suddenly changed to Chinese and said, "This method of refining sword pills is indeed a very clever technique, at least with the current level of science and technology on the earth, it is far from being able to achieve this effect...... But in terms of lethality increase, there are actually many things that can be improved. ”

"Oh?" When Zhang Taibai heard this, he immediately became interested.

If these swords could be further strengthened, his combat power would instantly rise to a new level.

And Richard must have some certainty that he can say so.

"I'll try to improve it for you when I get back...... Also, I have a lot of extra Erdman alloy there, so you can use it if you need it. Richard said.

"Well, isn't it?" Zhang Taibai said.

"What's not so good, it's just a little Erdman alloy, I want to get as much as I want." Richard waved his hand and said, "You don't think it's really only Area 51 that makes the Edman alloy, right?" ”

"You made those Edelman alloys yourself?" Zhang Taibai was taken aback.

"Hey......" Richard smiled and didn't answer.
