Chapter 515: Potential

"It seems that this battle is inevitable."

Steve's answer, though grim, did not exceed Natasha's expectations.

After all, judging by the attitude that [Dominic Butch] showed in the base before.

The SCP Foundation has made it clear that it refuses to interfere with the containment of anomalies, which is why she agrees with Steve to dissuade the American military.

It's just that the arrogant American government and the proud General Ross didn't pay attention to the advice from the Avengers, and they didn't take this information to heart.

It is no wonder that, after all, it has been nearly a hundred years since World War II for the United States to become the world hegemon, and such a long period of time is enough to make a country feel proud and complacent.

The mindset it has cultivated since the Cold War has made the United States not even consider the possibility of defeat.

Such an idea is naturally more obvious and radical in a hardliner in the army like General Ross.

In their minds, as long as war is waged, the final result can only end with the victory of the United States.

"I don't think my wings alone can fly under a tornado."

Looking up at the tornado that was constantly pressing down against the fierce wind, Sam the Falcon's expression trembled a little.

After becoming an Avenger, he thought about fighting supervillains and even aliens, but never imagined that one day he would actually face a tornado and fight it.

As negotiations broke down, Dominic Butch commanded a huge tornado that struck again in the direction of the camp.

Dark clouds covered the entire sky, and the plains of the Canadian border made the tornado move extremely fast, closing the distance of more than ten kilometers in just a few minutes, and as the distance continued to close, the huge wind from the tornado also filled the sky over the camp where the American army was located like a demonic roar.

By the time General Ross came out of the headquarters, the tornado was already less than a few kilometers away from the camp, and the huge storm pillar seemed to connect the sky and the earth, and the sand and gravel swept by the wind made the surroundings look gray.

"Avenger, tell me what's going on!"

Such an unusual tornado made General Ross immediately think of the reminder of the previous Avengers, and his eyes scanned the camp and quickly found the Avengers with a solemn expression not far away.

"This is an attack from the SCP Foundation."

Although General Ross's attitude towards the Avengers made Steve not have any good feelings for him, considering the current crisis situation, Steve still chose to open his mouth and replied: "The SCP Foundation created this tornado to eliminate the American forces that affected their containment work, General Ross, I know you have an opinion about the Avengers, but in this case, I hope you can abandon these and cooperate with us to save as many soldiers as possible." ”

"America doesn't need any help!"

However, in the face of Steve's proposal for cooperation, General Ross did not hesitate to refuse.

Turning his head to look at the tornado flying straight in the direction of the base, the howling wind hit General Ross, but he said word by word with his own face: "The American army is the most powerful army in the world, and we are confident that we can destroy any enemy, even if the enemy is a tornado in front of us." ”

"You're crazy, General Ross, you're kidding the lives of all the soldiers!"

Even Steve was shocked by the madness shown by General Ross.

"No, I didn't, I know exactly what I'm doing!"

This time, in order to be able to defeat the monster that the Pentagon said, the troops led by General Ross carried a large number of lethal weapons. As the world's number one hegemon, the United States has far more technology than Canada can compare, especially after the New York incident, the military has also harvested a large number of Zetari technology to carry out research, and cracked a large number of technologies from it.

Even, considering the danger of the operation, the Pentagon specially approved General Ross to bring out a batch of missiles with nuclear warheads.

"Damn, this guy is a complete war maniac."

Looking at the back of General Ross turning away, Sam the Falcon gritted his teeth and said.

Before, he didn't like the indifferent General Ross, but he didn't expect that the other party was a madman at all.

"He's gambling with the lives of the entire U.S. military at the base."

"Guys, from what I know about Rose, he's a guy who does what he says."

After a moment of silence, Banner spoke to extinguish the last thought of the Avengers.

As a perennial target of General Ross' pursuit, he is well aware of the character of the other party, an existence that will not give up to achieve his goal.

"It looks like we're not just going to have to deal with the Tornado threat from [Dominic Butch], but also General Ross."

General Ross's reaction undoubtedly complicated the already dangerous situation.

On the one hand, the Avengers need to resist the danger posed by the tornado, and on the other hand, they need to protect the American soldiers behind them.

With the looming tornado, there was not much time left for Steve to hesitate.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Steve looked up and swept over the Avengers around him, quickly giving orders.

"Ultron, I need a safe place to minimize the damage caused by a tornado."

"Natasha, you and Sam are in charge of the safety ...... of nearby American soldiers"

"Vision, you are the only one among the Avengers who can ignore the damage of the tornado, I hope you can enter the tornado and attack [Dominic Butch] if necessary, now is not the time to be soft."

“……”

After quickly arranging their respective tasks for the Avengers around him, Steve turned his head to look at Banner on the side and nodded.

"Dr. Banner, it's time for the zoom guy to come out......"

"To be honest, I've been wondering if I can ask Tony to make me a nanocostume or ask the Fantastic Four for a special uniform of theirs."

Taking off the glasses on his face, Banner looked at Steve in front of him, and couldn't help but complain: "Otherwise, every time Hulk comes out, he will destroy his clothes, and it always feels a little too ......."

As Banner's words fell, the image of his entire body also changed in an instant, the original normal complexion was shrouded in a layer of dark green, and the muscles on the thin body swelled rapidly as if they were looking at qi, and in just a few seconds, the expanded body broke through the relatively wide clothes on his body.

"Hulk, strike!"

Under Steve's gaze, Banner vanishes and is replaced by Hulk, the Hulk, who roars with his head up.

"Let's do it, guys."

Even the Hulk came out, Steve naturally didn't hesitate, his gaze finally swept over the avengers around him, and immediately made an order to act.

Hearing Steve's order, Natasha and Sam glanced at each other and quickly turned around and walked in the direction of the American army behind them.

Ultron's eyes flickered with a blue light, and his gaze swept over the surrounding camp in just a few seconds, and a large amount of data was constantly combined under the calculations of artificial intelligence, and it had to build a temporary shelter from the poor materials of the camp in the shortest possible time.

"Hulk, fight!"

With a roar of rage, Hulk looked up in the direction of the tornado, his thick legs slammed into the ground to form two holes, and then his huge body bounced directly under the action of the huge force, and rushed towards the tornado.

Looking at Hulk's jumping body, the expression in Vision's eyes flickered and slowly rose, and as the light of the gem on his forehead flickered, the structure of his body also changed from the original entity to an illusory body, and the sand and gravel raised by the wind fell on his body as if it were hitting the air.

Taking control of his illusory body, Vision used the power of the Mind Gem to quickly lock on to [Dominic Butch] in the center of the eye of the storm, and then his entire body flew after Hulk like an arrow from the string.

Watching the members of the Avengers carry out their assigned tasks in turn, Steve is not idle.

He turned his head to find the direction General Ross had left before, and chased after him without hesitation.

The words that General Ross had left behind when he left had made his heart feel a little uneasy.

……

Bang –

A large amount of dust and sand fell on the ground of the wasteland, and as the direction of the tornado got closer and closer, the violent wind generated by the howling tornado continued to pull Hulk's body.

Banner's transformed Hulk weighed more than half a ton, but such a heavy body was still a little unstable under the pull of the tornado.

Feeling the increasing pull of the wind on his body, Hulk couldn't help but open his mouth and let out an angry roar, driven by the anger that kept surging in his heart, his already tall body expanded a few points upward, and as his body grew larger, his already huge strength also increased a few points.

Feeling the surging power in his body, Hulk slammed his limbs on the ground, and his body pressed slightly while exerting his strength, and jumped a few points towards the center of the tornado again against the violent wind.

Compared to Hulk's difficult way of moving, Vision on the other side is much more relaxed.

Altering his body density allows him to ignore the violent winds generated by the tornado, which can blow boulders but have no effect on Vision's body.

Ignoring the power of the tornado, the vision came first to surpass the Hulk, who was advancing against the raging hurricane, and used the power of the Mind Gem on his forehead to lock on to [Dominic Butch] located in the eye of the tornado, and directly entered the center of the tornado through the huge storm pillar.

Unlike the roaring tornado, the center of the eye of the storm is much quieter.

The sprawling boulder swept across Vision's body as if it had landed on a phantom, causing no damage.

Vision controlled his body to move in the eye of the tornado, and soon found Dominic Butch in the center, wrapped in an astronaut uniform made of clouds.

"I didn't expect you to have the ability to ignore tornado damage and enter the eye of the storm."

Staying firmly in the center of the tornado under the ability of the stand-in [Weather Forecast], [Dominic Butch] looked up at the special red face of the vision in front of him, although there was a bit of surprise in his tone, but the expression on his face remained calm and calm.

"Stop your tracks, [Dominic Butch]."

also glanced at the [Dominic Butch] in front of him, and under the power of the Mind Gem, the scene seen by Vision was obviously a little different from what ordinary people saw.

In his field of vision, he can clearly see the humanoid stand-in [Weather Forecast] behind [Dominic Butch] with purple eyes and a lower body composed of clouds.

In the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the avatar's ability is an image condensed from the spiritual energy of the (non-)living being.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as it is a person with strong mental ability, even if it is not a stand-in messenger, it has the ability to see the stand-in.

This has been shown in the world of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", and the same is obviously true of Vision, as the Mind Gem, as one of the six most powerful Infinity Stones in the universe of the United States of America, itself represents a powerful spiritual power. Therefore, as the holder of the gem, even if Vision can't exert the full power of the Mind Gem, it is only natural to see the stand-in behind [Dominic Butch] under the power of the gem.

On the contrary, it would be strange if there was no way to see the existence of a stand-in when there was a mind gem.

As for whether the stand-in can be seen, Li Ran didn't care much.

On the contrary, to a certain extent, he expects that there are many people who can see the appearance of the stand-in, because in this way, the different appearance of the stand-in, combined with the unpredictable ability, can show the magic of the power of the stand-in messenger, and at the same time, it can also bring more legends.

"Behind your back, it looks like that's where your ability to control the weather comes from."

Looking at the unique shape of [Weather Forecast], the stand-in behind [Dominic Butch], Vision immediately guessed that this might be the source of the other party's ability to control the weather.

"Looks like you can see the stand-in [weather forecast] behind me."

Hearing Vision's words, [Dominique Butch] immediately cooperated to show a slightly surprised appearance, looked at Vision's red face in front of him, and slowly spoke.

"In this way, you should have the same potential as a stand-in messenger just like me."
