Chapter 48: Earth is inseparable from the Avengers

This is the first time Ethan has come to the base of the Avengers.

Unlike the original plot, this time the Avengers have been a semi-official organization from the moment they were born.

Steve Rogers, who is a military himself, has become a representative of the official figures in the Avengers, and his military status also makes him the commander of the Avengers, and those people in Washington have a better face.

Although Tony doesn't like the 'old-school' Captain America very much, because of Howard's resurrection and Tony's fate trajectory has been turned to another unknown line by Ethan, although he still doesn't like Captain America very much, the two can get along as pure colleagues.

So when Tony came, he also said hello to Captain America Steve Rogers, who has been stationed here for a long time.

Steve, who saw Ethan again, also warmly welcomed Ethan.

"This place is quite big, can I show you around?"

"After I'm going to pick up my things, I'll take my time to visit the place. ”

After a period of construction and operation, the base has complete living and training facilities, and as for the funding, of course, all of them are the responsibility of the Stark Group, and of course it will not be advertised to the outside world: after all, this is a relatively formal semi-official organization - or in the eyes of ordinary people, the Avengers is a complete official organization.

In addition to Iron Man Tony Stark, the remaining members are basically from some special official agencies or the military, although Ant-Man Scott Lang's surface identity is a talent absorbed from the people, but as long as you dig up the roots, you will know that his 'old man' is the former high-level of S.H.I.E.L.D., so to some extent, Ant-Man is not 'civil' at all.

When Steve heard that Ethan was here to pick up something, he immediately remembered that there was a complete factory under the base, which had been renovating the spaceship, as if the spaceship was specially designed to help Ethan renovate.

"The ship underneath the base?"

For an old antique like Captain America, who was born and lived more than 70 years ago, space is quite far away from him, but he didn't expect that the place where he lives and works now is so 'close' to space technology.

"That's right, Tony said that if I kept it here, I might not be able to get my boat back, so I came to pick it up as soon as I finished the remodeling. ”

Steve smiled, as the commander of the Avengers, he certainly knew something about the situation - it wasn't just Dr. Hank who had his eye on the ship, most of the people who worked at the base were curious about it.

Even Nick Fury, an advisor who was already on his idle footing, would often come over to check on the ship.

If it weren't for Tony Stark's repeated assertions about ownership of the ship, it's hard to say what Nick Fury would have done.

"I heard from Harpy, and thank you for your help during this time. ”

As the commander of the Avengers, this base is nominally under Steve's command, which means that everything here is under Steve's control.

Ethan's spaceship is being modified in this place, and Steve, as the commander, also has the power to interfere with it, and Nick Fury once wanted to follow Steve's path and try to send some official scientists to study and research (in fact, it is to steal some copycat technology).

However, all requests were rejected by Steve, who believed that the ship belonged to Ethan, and that Stark, although he placed the ship in the Avengers' base for modification, was essentially a personal item and he was not qualified to make decisions on behalf of others.

Nick Fury If you want to visit or ask for space technology, go straight to Ethan or Tony.

There is no need to continue on this topic, Nick Fury knows Steve's character and has decided that he will not compromise on this matter.

What's more, there is no need for him to risk offending the entire Avenger to do this. Now the main composition of the Avengers is Steve's fans and Iron Man's friends, if he forcibly takes away this ship, he will directly offend these two factions, and he probably won't want to walk in here through the main entrance in the future.

Considering that Maria Hill has been following Ethan on adventures, like the technology in this ship, he will be able to get it sooner or later.

Thinking of the advanced technology and the magical cultivation method that Maria Hill brought back these few times, he felt that he had made the right choice in the first place, and it was far better to cooperate with Ethan than to turn his face against him.

So, let's continue to work together!

While chatting about the current situation, he asked how Steve's mastery and understanding of the Holy Light was, and the result made Ethan feel amazing, Steve actually didn't understand what was going on with the power he mastered, he just simply exercised according to the cultivation method left by Ethan, and then naturally mastered this power.

The Holy Light also strengthened his body for another round, not only stimulating the potential in his body that had not been fully realized, but even improving his physical fitness again, and repairing some dark injuries in his body.

After that, Steve practiced step by step every day, handled the official business on the Avengers' side, occasionally went out to fight a dozen Hydra or something, life was very simple, and his strength has been steadily improving.

Now Steve can already be called a very powerful paladin, even if he doesn't wear armor or war hammers, he still uses the round shield with an unscientific flight trajectory more when fighting, but the rich holy light in his body can make Steve evolve into a pure energy lifeform at any time.

"You'd better stop. ”

Stepping into a relatively secluded elevator towards the underground factory, Ethan took the opportunity to talk to Steve about his current situation.

"I didn't expect you to improve so quickly, so a lot of the situation wasn't written in that manual. ”

If Steve continued to cultivate like this, his life form would definitely change.

But it is a completely different path to continue to keep the flesh and blood like Ethan or to directly abandon the flesh and blood.

"And this kind of thing?"

Tony doesn't even know this, is he going to face this choice in the future?

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, just keep going the way you are now, it's just that Steve's situation is more special. ”

His affinity with the Holy Light is too high, and although his physical fitness has improved under the baptism of the Holy Light, he still can't keep up with the speed of the Light's progress.

"Thank you for the admonition. ”

Steve also understood, he didn't expect his talent in this area to be so good, so good that he himself was a little flustered - this doesn't seem like a good thing, right?

Transformed into a pure energy lifeform? He had no idea about that.

"Actually, don't worry too much, as long as you can stick to your heart, the change in appearance will not affect your thoughts, but the change in life form will cause some changes in life habits, maybe your thoughts will still change in the long run. ”

Ethan thought of Impres and Tyrell that he had met not long ago, these angels were also a kind of energy lifeforms, and if Steve transformed into that, there would be nothing wrong with it on the surface.

In addition, there is a Manhattan doctor in the DC Universe, who has also become a special energy life by chance, and it is terrifying.

However, Ethan still introduced the various situations, and then let Steve choose for himself - he was kind enough to let Steve cultivate the Holy Light in the first place, not to turn Captain America into an angel.

"I think...... It's better to be a person. ”

In many ways, Steve isn't an ordinary human right now, but it's not a big deal to stick to his human identity as long as he wants to.

Just like Ethan, he is more 'not human' than Captain America, the improvement of the life realm is real, and the gap with humans is also all-round, but this does not prevent him from eating and sleeping like an ordinary person, as long as he wants to, he can be a person.

After teaching Steve what to pay attention to next, the elevator also came to a stop.

When the three of them stepped out of the elevator and came to the vast underground factory, the first thing they saw was the Prometheus spaceship.

"It doesn't look like much has changed. ”

Tony rolled his eyes.

"Isn't that what you're asking for?"

Because Ethan is interested in the appearance of the Prometheus, Tony has retained his original appearance as much as possible, even if the inside has changed greatly, even the external armor has been changed, but the overall appearance has not changed in the slightest.

"Already done with all the renovations?"

"You can go up and have a look. ”

Under Tony's leadership, Ethan took a look at every corner of the Prometheus, and for the first time, Steve got to know the ship in detail.

After lamenting the great changes in the world again, he also realized that the complexity of the world was far beyond his imagination.

As the commander of the Avengers, he certainly knows that there is more than just Earth in the universe.

Even if we don't talk about Asgard, a cosmic force that is relatively friendly with the earth, there are many, many powerful forces in the galaxy, they have more advanced civilizations or weapons than the earth, and they are far from being kind in character, and they can launch a devastating war against the earth at any time.

"Is this spaceship good in our universe?"

Ethan turned his head to look at Tony, this question is not sure for him, only Tony, who has learned a lot of advanced scientific and technological knowledge in the universe, can give a clear answer.

"This ship is only a good ship in the galaxy, and it is no problem for adventure and travel, but if it is a space war...... That's not enough. ”

Any of the main warships of the Kree Empire is not something that this small ship can compete with.

"So for a long time, the Earth still needs the Avengers to defend it. ”
