Chapter 1058: Complex Problems The American Dilemma
Steve eventually watched Thor calmly leave his eyes with Tony.
It's not that he doesn't want to keep these two people, you must know that at this point in them, it is impossible for his subordinates to show mercy or something. And the reason why he would let them go so much was entirely because he had more than enough heart and not enough strength.
In fact, watching Thor leave with Tony like this, he also let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. After avoiding the sight of the fools who were about to evolve into fanatics, he had quietly taken out a gold-cast, gem-encrusted scabbard in the shadows. It can be seen clearly through the naked eye, and there are already cracks like spider webs on the sheath of this clear sword. Although these lines are recovering at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, it is conceivable that if the battle just now continues like that, I am afraid it will not be such a problem of cracks.
"Is this the power of the gods? It's really like he said, it's a really boring thing. It is true that human beings do not need such a thing to exist, at least for us, this kind of thing should not exist. You have to think of a way, think of a way! ”
Rather than simply comparing strength, Steve is more concerned with tactical and strategic gains and losses. Although judging from the current situation, they have secretly occupied a huge advantage. But there are too many uncertainties in this situation.
The self-aware Ultron is already a huge unstable factor. Now the gods have stepped in again. This only makes Steve less and less confident that the overall situation is in control. He could only pray for now, praying that all this would not affect the baron too much. Because if even the barons are affected, then their overall layout is really out of control.
Steve was still worried about these issues. Others had to worry about something else.
Although Thor escaped with Tony, the situation is not as rosy as he imagined. Because although Tony is no longer in danger of life, he is very seriously injured.
He was already unconscious. This is not a simple physiological problem, but a much more serious and complex problem. When he was rescued by Thor, Tony was actually on the verge of death. In that case, he was at his weakest level, both physically and mentally. And it was for this reason that his body was eroded.
Thor's lightning power, as well as the golden power of the Excalibur Sword, have become the most primitive elemental power because of the hedge, and this elemental power has penetrated into Tony's soul and body due to some accidental circumstances, bringing him an extraordinary impact.
It's a very dangerous thing, but it's also an opportunity. It is because of this situation that many human heroes in history have attained godlike powers. And in dealing with such problems, Thor, who has the whole of Asgard as a backer, is actually very experienced. Suffice it to say that Tony's problem wouldn't be a problem at all if it were just that. However, Tony's problems go far beyond that.
While being eroded by the divine power element, Tony's body also had such a problem. His body was invaded by something that Thor didn't understand. If Tony was still conscious, then he would surely be able to recognize what this invasion of his body was. It was a nanounit that he had artificially implanted in his body.
Theoretically, such artificially implanted nano-metal units should be something absolutely safe. But he probably didn't think at all when he made this thing, and this nano unit would have any special reaction in front of the huge divine power.
Because of the infusion of huge divine power, which is completely different from the Ark Reactor, the nanometals, which have already entered the overload mode under the energy of the Ark Reactor, directly enter the double overload mode. This is a situation that is completely out of the design, and the result of this situation is that the nanometal, which is only the size of a cell, gradually merges with Tony's body under the influence of this special energy.
It's no longer a simple implantable fusion, but a complete and complete fusion. The nano-unit that has entered the secondary overload mode is almost infinitely proliferating in a crazy blowout mode, and it has penetrated into every part of Tony's body, whether it is internal organs, muscles, bones, or every inch of flesh and blood, every cell, it has been completely invaded by this nanometal.
Under this premise, it is difficult to say that Tony's body is still just a physical mortal ordinary person. Because many of the functional organs in his body have been replaced by nanometals that proliferate indefinitely. At this point, you can call him a man of steel. It's just that no one can tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
There has never been a precedent for the consequences of the fusion of human body cells with this artificially created nanometal, and it is difficult to say whether this situation is good or bad for humans. Tony's unconscious at the moment already says something. And that's not the worst problem, the most serious problem is that if Tony comes to his senses, he's still the same Tony. Stark? Or is he still a human?
These are unclear questions, and what the outcome will be. I'm afraid it can only be told by time.
Tony's rash move had an unpredictable impact on his entire life. And the problems he brings are not only reflected in himself, but also in the whole world.
After all, Tony's identity is the president of the United States, which is an important identity related to the safety of the United States. And now, the problem before the entire U.S. government is that their president is missing.
According to intelligence, the last place where Tony was seen was the underground base where the Ultron server was placed. But from the alarm from the base to the arrival of the nearby garrison, no one has noticed the figure of the president, that is, Iron Man. Instead, they discovered the biochemical monster created by the Hydra, and for this, the Sky Hammer Bureau and the American army also fought a difficult battle, causing a lot of casualties. It's just that it doesn't help in any way.
Tony is still missing. And judging from the current situation, this disappearance is probably inseparable from Hydra. And this immediately made the entire high-level insiders in the United States feel a sense of trembling.
You know, it's hard for the current U.S. government to get out of Tony's control. He personally broke the bloated and complicated government model of the past and shaped a new form of government. He is the core of the operation of this new government, and once he is out of his strategy, the operation of the entire government will be greatly affected. And that would be an absolutely catastrophic problem for the United States right now.
After all, the United States today is no longer the United States of the past, and although Americans are very reluctant to admit it, the United States is indeed going downhill today. Tony was able to recover a little bit of a decline while he was there, and once he was gone, few people had the confidence to hold the rudder and let the whirlpool survive all the dangers in its path. The slightest carelessness will overturn, which is simply not a responsibility that ordinary people can afford.
And that's not even the most serious problem. The most serious problem is that if Tony falls into the hands of Hydra, then the whole world is afraid that there will be turmoil.
As the core figure in the Allied Powers, although Tony said that he could not control the voice in the Allied Powers, he was also qualified to know the confidential matters between the Allied Powers and within the Heavenly Hammer Bureau. These secrets are all important matters, and once they are discovered by Hydra, it will be a huge blow to the Allies and even the Heavenly Hammer Bureau. It can be said that as long as Hydra can be used, it can almost drag the entire world into chaos. It's something they prefer, so you don't have to be on the lookout for it. And if such a thing does happen, then what price will the United States pay?
No one can answer this question, and no one dares to imagine it. So far, all they can do is block all relevant information. And try to find Tony's traces as much as possible.
It's just that, after all, the United States is a huge country, and the national affairs that need to be dealt with every day are absolutely complicated and huge. Although it is said that not everything needs the nod of the president to be carried out. But there are still some things that require the president's consent.
Now that the president is gone, things can only pile up. But this accumulation is not a solution. And in this case, Maria, who had been working as an assistant, stepped forward.
Although she was worried about her husband's safety, she was aware enough at this time. She knows that the United States must not be chaotic at this time. Because this is the brainchild of his husband, and it is also the ideal he strives for. For this, he has already sacrificed so many things, so even for him, she must not let the United States have any problems in his absence.
It's just that if you want to solve these troubles, she can't do it alone. Let's not talk about whether she has that qualification. The fact that she is now pregnant alone makes it impossible for her to carry such a heavy burden. So at this time, she could only make such a decision instead of her husband.
"Jean Maria. Ms. Hill is temporarily in the White House to serve as acting president. Also, in the name of the White House, exempt Nick. Fury and Phil. Coulson's charges. Nick. Fury accepts a job for the FBI, and the current FBI director is held accountable for the president's problems. Coulson, on the other hand, needs to succeed Maria. Hill, become our ambassador in the Hammer Bureau. At this time, the United States must not be chaotic. If anyone wants to do something about it, I don't mind using extraordinary means. You must know that I still have the right to suggest the intelligent machine in my hand, and I believe that the intelligent machine will also support my ideas. So, you should know what to do! ”
