Chapter 246: Lonely ex-girlfriend, I met my own sister by chance
New York has always been a big city with many disasters.
In addition to Washington, D.C., where the White House is located, there is probably only neon Tokyo.
Even without the cinematic universe, the Zetarians invaded on a massive scale.
In New York of this world, there are still many world-destroying catastrophes.
Like, the Hulk World War a few years ago.
almost made the Avengers rush out, and only then did they barely subdue the angry and irrational Hulk and stop the catastrophe in the real estate industry and the insurance industry.
Another example is the civil war that happened a long time ago - this is the feud between Iron Man and Captain Marvel.
The two clashed and got into a fight, nearly razing Manhattan to the ground.
Ordinary days, not to mention.
Hell's Kitchen Street Hero, Gangster Clash
Spider-Man's old antagonist, the sinister six composed of Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, and Venom.
And so on and so forth.
Compared to the studio next door, the city is different and the style is different.
On Marvel's side, superheroes and villains, like migrant workers who have flocked to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, have settled in New York.
As for that different "civil war", Iron Man and Captain Marvel - although in the cinematic universe, Tony Stark is the soul of the Avengers, with Captain America at the same core.
But in the comic book world, more often than not, he's actually a troublemaker machine, with Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards.
All kinds of things do things, causing big events.
It is precisely because of this that there will be this "civil war" with Captain Marvel.
The later results proved that Iron Man's anti-XX series armor was useless, and it was directly smashed by Carol, who did not keep his hand.
Tony Stark himself was also badly injured and reduced to a vegetative state, with only thought data uploaded to the network, becoming an AI creature similar to Ultron.
These are all plot directions that are very different from those of the cinematic universe.
All in all, New Yorkers have become numb to superheroes flying around, or villains and villains who want to wreak havoc.
They weren't surprised, at most they were skilled at screaming and finding a safe place to hide.
Like now, there was a bunch of guys dressed strangely, showing up on the road.
New Yorkers turned a blind eye, and it was the rush hour for work, and everyone rushed to check in.
Only young students will take out their mobile phones to shoot videos and post them on social media, winning a wave of likes and attention.
"I thought there would be a group of people coming around, but I didn't expect everyone to behave normally."
Strange had some regrets, he used to wear a suit and a white coat, but now he wears a vintage robe every day, like an ascetic.
I thought that this strange outfit with a difference should attract the attention of passers-by, but I was disappointed.
"This is already the post-superhero era, and the former Avengers have now become veterans and retired from the stage."
Luke looked at the bustling modern New York and chuckled, "Now is the time when the second generation of superheroes is at their most active." Hawkeye's daughter, the second generation of Vision, the third generation of Ant-Man, etc., those heroes of the new generation, they are the idols of young people, the mainstream today. β
Strange was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he had only been away from the world for two years, and the outside world would have undergone earth-shaking changes.
"How do you know?"
He asked, puzzled.
"Kama Taj is not a place of isolation. My room's WiFi internet speed is quite fast, and I can search it on Google, what superhero personal website, superhero exclusive entries, etc., everything. β
Luke said with a shrug.
He and Strange are both fresh faces.
Among the people present, the only two who were busier were Thor and Rocket Raccoon.
One is the Avengers, superheroes.
One is a talking pet, an alien creature.
All have a strong attraction to passers-by who eat melons.
"I didn't expect that in this world, Jane and I also broke up."
Thor sighed.
He thought of the gossip news he saw on Thor's personal website.
Why can't you and your girlfriend be happy no matter what universe it is?
"To add two points, you are not the thunder god of this world, although you are both called Thor, if you run to Miss Jane Foster at this time, it is immoral, it is equivalent to greening 'yourself'."
Luke whispered as he walked down the streets of New York.
"And, this time it's you who 'dumped' Ms. Foster, and you're entangled with Amola, the sorceress, and Sif from Asgardβto put it simply, you're a scumbag."
When Thor heard this, his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
It's really enviable to pedal on three boats...... Contempt!
He coughed twice and diverted the subject: "Where are we going?" β
"Doorless bar."
Luke said.
"We need to gather some intelligence on our opponents so that Strange can make a reasonable response."
Invisibly, he has become the leader of this team, taking Strange, who is supposed to be the main character, and Thor, the god of Thor, and Rocket Raccoon, who are in his entourage.
Habits are a terrible thing, they can make people dependent on them unconsciously and they will never change.
Luke can always solve every problem he encounters, always answer every doubtful question, like an all-purpose encyclopedia.
Over time, and over again, implicit authority is gradually established.
"Why do I think that you are the one who participated in the Supreme Mage Battle, and you have thought everything through."
Strange was a little depressed, as a former neurosurgeon, he was still the top kind in the industry, and he was somewhat proud.
"That's because you're not good at socializing, you're very popular, and you're an inexperienced rookie."
Luke said lightly.
"The Supreme Mage Battle for Supremacy has actually been held for many sessions, and even once became a cosmic galaxy and a lively event in many dimensions."
"This little rabbit has logged in to the 'Stars' forum founded by Gao Tianzun, and has picked up all the information and information over the years."
"First of all, in this battle for supremacy, it has no threshold to participate, whether it is a hell creature or a fallen mage, it can participate, and anyone who comes will not refuse."
"Secondly, there are three of them."
"In the entry round, eight candidates will be decided, and then they will advance to the tournament and get the qualification to meet Emperor Weishan."
"In the end, the final, the only winner is chosen."
"And the most mysterious trial of Emperor Weishan, each time has a different theme."
"But no one told you this, and Lao Wang rarely used the Internet and didn't know about it."
Strange was a little stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Superman to be so well prepared.
"Emperor Weishan...... Have you chosen many Supreme Mages? β
He asked subconsciously.
"Nope. This battle for supremacy was not originally for the selection of Supreme Mages, but for testing. β
Luke walked over to a wall with a poster of a half-hidden door.
He pulled out a ring to form a teleportation channel.
"It's not like becoming a Supreme Mage can sit back and relax, Emperor Weishan will regularly launch an assessment for the person sitting in that position, and if someone can replace him, then ...... Deprivation of title and identity. β
When Strange heard the answer, his heart "chuckled" a little.
This is equivalent to the company's annual performance appraisal, and unqualified employees will be discouraged.
I didn't expect that the Trinity Emperor Weishan was also an old capitalist.
As soon as a big disrespectful thought popped up in Strange's head, he quickly erased it.
"Doorless bar, here."
As soon as Luke and the others entered, they saw that it was overcrowded, all of them trading magic items or whispering.
Alcohol, tobacco, perfume, marijuana...... The smell is mixed together, and it makes people frown.
"By the way, who among you has the money? It's the kind of valuable artifact, or magic item. β
Luke managed to find a seat, patted Strange on the shoulder, and motioned for him to pull out his wallet.
"Ah......h Sorry, I didn't. β
A look of embarrassment flashed on Strange's face, and he explained, "You know, although I used to have some financial resources, I have spent all of them in order to treat my illness, and it can be said that my family is bankrupt. β
"As for the magic props, there is nothing but this cloak on my body."
"Then you put your cloak out of ......"
Syllable!
Rocket Raccoon is outspoken, and before he could finish speaking, he was slapped by the collar of Strange's red cape.
The Cloak of Devil's Float seems to have a mind of its own, expressing its dissatisfaction in this way.
"So, you're a poor ghost?"
Luke said bluntly.
"Then what Supreme Mage battle did you participate in? No money, no strength, no friends...... Stephen, you'd better wash up and go to bed as soon as possible. β
Strange felt aggrieved, he used to be an elite who wore a famous watch, drove a sports car, and lived in a luxury apartment.
Now, he is actually disgusted by people and said that he is a poor ghost.
"Well, I'll go find a few people I know...... Female friends. β
Strange gritted his teeth, when he was a prodigal son in love, he was quite famous in the circle of noblewomen in the upper class with his good looks and excellent skills.
There is no shame in eating soft rice!
He thought.
"How long has it been since you've looked in the mirror?"
Luke's face was strange, as if he was holding back a smile.
"Stephen, please take a look at yourself, bearded, rough-skinned, decadent...... And most importantly, the golden finger that you are proud of - don't get me wrong, I mean your stable hands, which are no longer high-income young elites, will they still look up to you? β
Word by word, the knife struck critically, piercing Strange's heart.
He was also a personable public lover back then, and after only two years, he has already changed from a delicious little fresh meat to a disgusting old bacon?
"Thor, I said you are the prince of Asgard, why don't you go back to Asgard and get some good goods."
Rocket Raccoon jumps onto Thor's shoulder and comes up with a bad idea.
The latter didn't react, his eyes straight into a bewitching figure near the bar.
"Tsk, just now I said that there was only Jane in my heart, and the result was ...... The old color is batched! β
Rocket Raccoon was disgusted, and a new word he had learned from the Internet popped out of his mouth.
"You know what! I just feel like she's ...... Loki. β
Thor was unmoved, his gaze locked on the graceful and charming back like a nail.
