"These are just your words!" The old man sitting in the throne shook his head and said, "Nick, it's not that I don't trust you, but we can't rely on the babbling of a madman and a madman to make up our minds and fully support a plan that has not been rigorously demonstrated. Aside from our genes, there's no evidence to prove what you're talking about. ”

"You make us believe unreservedly what comes out of the mouth of a madman, which is nothing less than a fantasy. We will never be able to derive the truth from a single piece of evidence, and we will not be at the mercy of a madman who wants to destroy the world, so we cannot agree with your plan unless you have the full chain of evidence that proves what you say. ”

Coming to their senses from the sudden shock, the directors regained their usual composure, the genetic map, although shocking, did not say anything, unilateral evidence can never depict the truth, and if a multifaceted, mutually corroborative chain of evidence cannot be found, what Nick said can only be used as a reference, not a conclusive evidence.

Nick was not surprised by the Council's veto, "Then put this proposal on hold for now......" He reached out and picked up a document from the side, "From the current situation, it can be seen that conventional force does not pose a substantial threat to our 'Creator' except for its own casualties. Whether it's mobility, lethality, or intelligence capabilities, we have almost no advantage in a large-scale war. Skynet can withstand more than ninety percent of the battle damage, and if our army suffers more than three layers of casualties, morale will be seriously reduced. ”

"What we have exchanged for our lives is only a loss of industrial products on the other side. Skynet can even reuse those lost machinery in the blink of an eye, and the reuse rate is as high as 90%. ”

As he said this, the atmosphere of the board of directors became solemn, and the directors looked at each other and silently agreed with Nick's statement.

"It's time to kick-start that plan!"

"Avengers?" One of the trustees, seated on the right, asked rhetorically.

"Yes. Avenger! "Nick Submits a Profile" Gathering Our Best Superheroes to Gain an Advantage over Enemies in a Narrow Touchfield Battlefield is a core tactic of the Avengers, originally designed to deal with the increasing frequency of terrorist attacks and accidents around the world. The challenges that science has made the challenges we face more and more insidious and sudden, and no one knows. What a devastating disaster can be caused by a down-and-out scientist, so we need superheroes. ”

"But on the other hand, we are facing an enemy with overwhelming frontal power, a 'Creator' whose strength has been seen in the whole world, and which is capable of destroying a powerful nation. If a full-scale war breaks out, are we ready to fight in scorched earth, can we sustain endless casualties, and the battlefield is at our home? ”

"We need ...... Local operations! The presiding officer's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he said thoughtfully.

"Yes. With the Avengers as the core, concentrate forces, target the core interests of Skynet, carry out small-scale, low-intensity infiltration and attacks, and use the flexible and changeable combat strategies of superheroes to gain superiority over Skynet in local areas. ”

The council thought about it for a long time and finally decided: "Agree to start the Avengers program!" ”

The Avengers are a small group of superheroes, and Nick deliberately keeps the number to less than ten. So the selection becomes important, and Nick wants the Avengers to be a well-rounded player. A strategically important group, not a particularly powerful special forces. So obedience doesn't matter, what Nick values is the infinite possibilities of the Avengers.

"We don't need a sharp knife, like the Arm Commanding Super Special Forces, which might be a powerful killer against other threats. But in the face of the 'Creator', it's a joke. Don't expect a kid with a knife to threaten a heavily armed monster. I want infinite possibilities, miracles......"

"If there is anything that can free us from the control of the Creator, it can only be a miracle!"

As one proposal after another within S.H.I.E.L.D. was rejected. Nick became more and more irritable, waving a stack of Avenger materials in his hand, and his one-eyed gaze at the people present had an awe-inspiring sense of oppression.

In the Fantastic Four, Reed took refuge in Doctor Doom, and the remaining three, although eager to fight, are no longer suitable to participate in the Avengers, and Nick does not want this kind of hero who has formed a fixed team to join, and the Avengers should be a new blank slate.

"Take out the trickiest superheroes, the unruly, the character flaws, the ones you can't handle. I don't need these 'good kids', I want 'weirdos' who can create the impossible, crazy, eccentric, who can make trouble for you anytime and anywhere, who can always work miracles. ”

Nick slammed the document on the table, and a female clerk next to him shivered.

"Do you have anything to say?" Nick looked over with his one eye, and she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

"To... Tony. Stark! The female clerk said in a trembling voice.

"What?" Nick couldn't react for a moment when he heard this name that gave him a headache.

The female clerk trembled and pointed to the gossip magazine on the table. Stark's smiling face was particularly glaring, and a line of small print was marked underneath - I am Iron Man.

Death in New York, and what is Iron Man doing?

Tony. Stark's new love revealed: he indulges in joy and doesn't care about New York!

Taking over New York, all-out war, Stark Industries shares rose five points.

"No, he can't. It's very important to the matter of 'Skynet', but it can't make any big mess for him. What I need is a 'prick', but I have to see the big picture, Tony. Stark ......"

Tony, who just became Iron Man, did not gain Nick's trust, he instinctively didn't believe in such a foolish guy, after life and death experience in the Middle East, Tony has been reborn, but Nick's impression of him is still in the playboy period, shouting in the media; 'I'm Iron Man!' It also makes Nick question Tony's sense of responsibility.

"He's ...... Ridiculous, but he can do miracles. He escaped from the terrorists and defeated the Iron Overlord, bringing Stark Industries out of the abyss. If you know him, you know that although he is debauched on the outside, he is still kind and full of responsibility on the inside! The clerk was obviously a fan of Stark and scrambled to explain for him.

"Tony deserves to be trusted, deserves to be held accountable......"

"Enough, listen, this is S.H.I.E.L.D., not you Tony. Stark's fan page ...... "The supervisor of the female clerk hurried up to stop her.

Nick made him shut his mouth with a look, "Tony, Howard's son!" Nick reached out and pinched his forehead, "Howard has never let me down...... That's him! ”

"Now, give me the list of the least acceptable of you to be an Avenger!"

"Bruce. Banner, Hulk. ”

"Johnny. Blazer, Ghost Rider. ”

"Peter. Parker, Spider-Man. ”

"Pepe. Potts, or Kelly. Johnson. Is it Pepper or Shero? ”

……

With the list of candidates in his hand, who was obviously more satisfying to him, Nick sat in his chair and looked thoughtfully, "Now, it's time to find a real leader for them." ”

"Sir, a research ship in Antarctica has found a Nazi warplane frozen in ice, and we have confirmed that it is the one from which the Red Skull escaped, and a high concentration of nuclear reactions has been found on it. The Antarctic base searched the inside of the fighter plane, and they found nuclear weapons inside, and this! ”

Nick took the photograph of a shield imprinted with the American flag embedded in the snow and ice.

"The good news is that the captain is still alive! The Super Soldier Serum keeps his cells alive and ready to restore his vital signs, according to expert judgment. His body is being sent to San Francisco, sir, is it being transferred to the headquarters in New York? ”

"No need. Now is not the right time for New York to carry out important events. ”

Nick gently rubbed the shield on the photo with the thumb of his right hand, and he was a little distracted: "This is really the best news I've heard in a while!" We will have ...... soon."

"Steve. Rogers! (To be continued......)
