Chapter 643: The Illuminati Meeting
"That's what you're getting in Australia?"
New York, Avengers Tower.
Natasha looked at the giant Transformers standing in the underground base and raised her eyebrows at Tony.
"It's a great hero."
Faced with Natasha's inquiry, Tony replied with a silent expression.
Retracting his gaze from the long-lost Transformers, Tony's gaze fell on the source of the shattered fire in the base laboratory.
The battle in Canberra finally ended with Optimus Prime's self-sacrifice.
The source of the Transformers' holy relic fire was destroyed by the core of Optimus Prime, and what Tony got was only a relatively complete piece of the many broken flames.
As for the source of the spark that transforms the Transformers, the Australian government will naturally not give it up easily.
The reason why Tony was able to leave Australia with this shattered fire and Optimus Prime was entirely the result of the wrestling between Australia and the United States.
Following Tony's gaze on the shards of tinder in the laboratory, Natasha's gaze flickered, and then she changed the topic and teased Tony in front of her.
"Speaking of which, aren't you really going to respond to that candidate?"
"Donald has provoked you on Twitter more than once, Tony."
As October approaches, the atmosphere of the U.S. election is becoming more and more intense.
Republican presidential candidate Donald is even more varied, in the major talk shows to make a lot of nonsense, as he announced the various presidential views gradually clear, the vast majority of the American people have taken it as a laughing stock, in fact, in the major media released polls, Donald's chances of winning the election are also very small.
Natasha, however, is concerned with the rules of Donald's proclaimed politics, especially for the grotesque and the transcendent in recent times.
According to Donald's description, he will sign the ordinance as soon as he sits on the presidency in the White House.
"Don't worry about that guy."
As for Natasha's worries, Tony seemed a little unconcerned.
"He's just a clown, and instead of caring about his tweets, it's better to focus on more important things, and I've exchanged views with the Democratic Party's female candidate through the military's channels, and she has promised that the specific provisions of the Superhero Registration Act will be changed and everything will be perfected before it will be passed, so at least for now, we don't need to worry about the bill."
As a well-known billionaire and big capitalist in New York, the Stark family has an intertwined relationship with the federal government of the United States, not only in the military, but also in the political circles.
The purpose is, of course, for the issue of the Superhero Registration Act.
And judging from the attitude of the Democratic Party so far, everything is going well.
"Hopefully, everything really goes as you say."
In the Avengers Building, Natasha looked at Tony, who was full of confidence in front of her, and had to press down the slight uneasiness in her heart.
"Ultron."
Inside the base, with Natasha's departure.
Tony was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth to ask the AI.
"What are the results of my investigation?"
"Sorry, sir......"
……
"Everyone knows that the grotesque are a disaster, and their best place to go is the hospital, not the street parade!"
"Make America safer, and after I can do all this, I, the next new president of the United States."
"Tony Stark, he's a self-righteous playboy at all, I've been to his party, Tony Stark's taste, it's so bad that there are people who think such a guy is a superhero and worship him."
"There is only one true hero, and that is me, and I will save ...... America"
Four tweets were sent in a row, and the old man with blonde hair and orange face watched the explosive reaction on the Internet, but his expression was not as great as it was shown on Twitter.
He was nervous about the mobile phone in his hand, looked at the gray-haired vicissitudes of life in front of him, and asked with some anxiety.
"Are you sure it works?"
"Tony Stark is a well-known billionaire, and he wields a wealth that the Donalds can't compare."
"And, judging by the polls, I don't have any chance of winning at all."
"Don't worry, Mr. Donald."
Looking at the restless Donald in front of him, the blood-colored light in the right eye of the gray-haired vicissitudes man flickered again.
He looked at the old blond man in his eyes, and said slowly in a determined tone: "You are destined to be the new president of the United States, and no one is more suitable for a position than you." ”
"I was destined to be president, and no one was better suited for the position than me."
Under the gaze of the blood-colored eyes, the worried expression on Donald's face began to become determined, and he muttered.
"Dad, the next interview ......"
……
In November, the final countdown to the general election is less than a week away.
In a secret location in New York, Tony gathers the members of the Illuminati.
"Who hasn't arrived?"
Glancing over the members of the Illuminati in front of him, Tony asked with a frown.
"The guy who used magic."
Dr. Hank Pym raised his eyebrows and said with an impatient expression.
"I heard someone saying my name."
As Dr. Hank Pym's words fell, a portal appeared in the secret location, Stephen Strange crossed the portal and nodded to the friendly Mr. Fantastic Reed, and then swept over the black panther T'Challa, who was wrapped in a pitch-black suit, and then looked at Dr. Hank Pym.
"From the very beginning, I was against having this guy join the Illuminati."
Ignoring Stephen's expression, Dr. Hank Pym turned to look at Tony and said with a disgruntled expression.
"Originally, the Illuminati you and I described didn't include such guys."
In Dr. Hank Pym's mind, the Illuminati are an aggregate of intelligent people, and the addition of Stephen breaks that.
"Hey, I was already a famous surgeon before I became a magician."
Stephen Strange immediately retorted to the contempt in Dr. Hank Pym's tone.
"I don't care what you did before, for me, you ......"
"Alright."
Seeing the argument between Stephen Strange and Dr. Hank Pym intensify, Tony had to stop them.
He looked at Dr. Hank Pym, "Doctor, I am not without reason for the invitation of the Illuminati members, since I invited Stephen to join the Illuminati, it means that he has the conditions to become a member of the Illuminati, we have been working on the quantum field for a while, but there has been no progress, or Stephen's magic can help us." ”
“……”
Rescuing his wife trapped in the quantum realm has always been Hank Pym's goal, so after hearing Tony's explanation, Hank Pym also had to give up the quarrel and express his acquiescence in silence.
Seeing that Dr. Hank Pym stopped arguing, Mr. Fantastic Reed, who was across from him, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was a little unaccustomed to this aggressive atmosphere.
"So, Tony, what are you calling us for this time?"
Turning his head to look at Tony in front of him, Reed immediately asked.
He's been a member of the Illuminati for a while, but he hasn't had many meetings, most recently the Transformers incident.
As Tony said, the Illuminati are an organization he has formed to respond to major events on Earth, and as such, every meeting represents a major event.
As Reed asked, the rest of the Illuminati turned their attention to Tony.
"A bad thing."
Under the gaze of the members of the Illuminati, Tony spoke slowly.
"Originally, I thought it was something that was impossible, but now the situation seems to be moving towards the unforeseen, so we have to be the best, and the new president may not be the possibility that we originally expected."
"You're calling us for the general election?"
Hearing Tony's description, Dr. Hank Pym frowned, believing it was a waste of time.
Because he never cared about the outcome of the election.
"The outcome of this election may determine the future of superheroes."
However, compared to Dr. Hank Pym's indifference, Tony's expression was extremely solemn.
As the election date approaches, the odds of Donald's victory are getting higher and higher in Ultron's analysis.
Sensing this, Tony tried to reach out to the would-be candidate, but was rejected.
Combined with the other party's constant tweets that are unfavorable to grotesque people and superheroes, Tony can foresee that if Donald eventually becomes the new owner of the White House.
The position of superheroes will become extremely difficult.
It was with this in mind that Tony would call the members of the Illuminati to make a report.
"If the worst happens, we have to be prepared in advance."
"Perhaps, what you guessed would not have happened, after all, all this is just the language of elections."
Although, Tony showed a serious attitude.
However, the vast majority of the members of the Illuminati felt that he was making a bit of a fuss.
Because of his relationship with the prince, T'Challa did not participate in Tony's discussions, and it didn't matter to him who was in the seat of the president of the United States.
Stephen Strange and Dr. Hank Pym, one currently focused on magic and the other on the quantum realm, also didn't care much about the outcome of the election.
Mr. Fantastic Reed, who is the only one who shows some concern about this, also thinks that Tony is a little too nervous.
"I hope everything is just my personal speculation, if something bad happens, it will be a disaster for all superheroes, and the scale of the war will be beyond imagination."
In the face of the members of the Illuminati who don't care, Tony can only comfort himself like this.
……
"NBC latest report, Republican candidate Donald won the election and became the new 45th president of the United States!"
In the early morning of November 9th, along with the final ticketing results, appeared.
Donald's candidacy headquarters cheered excitedly, and in the media camera, the new president Donald clapped his hands calmly, got up to hug and celebrate with relatives and friends around him, as well as the election team.
"Thank you for your help, sir."
After hugging the gray-haired vicissitudes of life, Donald spoke immediately.
"No, I owe you a thank you, Mr. Donald."
In Donald's ear, the man spoke softly in an indiscernible voice, the blood-colored light of his right eye flickering.
……
As November came to an end, the atmosphere of the general election began to dissipate.
However, the aftermath continued.
In various states of the United States, the crime of grotesque people began to occur frequently, and the new president's unfriendly attitude towards grotesque people caused this group to be extremely uneasy.
Among the many groups of freaks, an organization called the 'Fraternity of Freaks' began to appear frequently in major media reports.
Pictures of Charles, Eric, and Rogan began to appear.
"Freaks are not enemies, and I think grotesques and ordinary people can coexist peacefully."
In an interview, Charles, who is in a wheelchair, expressed his stance as a "fraternity of grotesques," calling out the American government.
In response to Charles's goodwill stance, the Confederacy of America government responded kindly.
For a moment, there seemed to be room for a thaw in the sharp opposition between the grotesque and the ordinary.
However, everyone is watching to see how the new owner of the White House will behave after next January.
……
In this way, in the midst of all kinds of uneasy and expectant gazes.
It's January 25th.
The new owner of the White House is settled.
At the same time, in the eyes of major media outlets, the new president announced the first executive order he would sign.
"I promised the people who supported me that America would be a safer place for me, and now is the time to make good on that promise."
On television, the new president signed his name to the bill, and behind him stood the military representative, General Ross.
"From now on, America will be safe again."
"America belongs to the American people, not the rest."
With the signing of the executive order, it represents the official entry into force of the first bill promoted by the new president.
And the name of this bill, along with the reports of various news media, was immediately transmitted to the ears of the United States and even the world.
"Superhero Registration Act."
