Chapter 542: It's all the fault of ambition
It's no wonder that some people say that the hallmark of the police is that they are all present after the fact, and in terms of swift action, there are many times when the police are really not fast. This time, too, the news media has blown up the police in terms of both smell and action.
Stark hadn't had time to finish setting up the celebration party, and there were reports on the news about the Doll's House! How so? Full of spitting and denunciation, who made Nick Fury put a dangerous prison for felons like a doll's house in a tourist attraction! In the words of the news media, this is irresponsible for the safety of the people and a violation of human rights. To sum up, well, another basin of black water was buckled on the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the past.
Nick Fury said that he was not pressured to do so, and in his exact words, "Brother is dead, is it necessary to pull me out of the grave and shoot me again?" ”
However, this report did not occupy the headlines, after all, in nature, this is just a prison escape, but Los Angeles has become a battlefield between humans and aliens, do you still need to grab the headlines?
Nick Fury used some connections to make the Doll's House affair gradually fade from the people's sight, and the Los Angeles affair is still inconclusive because the handling of Optimus Prime and others has not yet been determined, so it is just a focus on the casualties in Los Angeles.
The casualties this time were actually not large, and even less than one-tenth of the last Darkseid invasion, after all, the energy of the mad robots and monsters was all taken away by the superheroes, and there was not much effort to destroy them. Many of the buildings that collapsed were the result of a multi-party war.
It was fast enough for Stark to move very fast, and with a strong money offensive, the workers were able to open up and renovate the three floors of Stark's building in a matter of hours. When the celebration banquet began, everyone saw a luxurious banquet venue.
"Thank you very much for your help, about the Tinder Source...... Optimus Prime said slowly, holding a special large wine glass, I don't know what kind of yellow engine oil was in the glass, but the Bopai robots drank it with relish.
Ian interrupted Optimus Prime with a wave of his hand, "Huh. There's no rush about the source of the fire, it's there anyway, and it can't run. By the way, how much do you know about the Emperor of the Universe? ”
Seeing that Ian obviously didn't want to continue the topic, Optimus Prime followed him and said, "The Great Emperor of the Universe, well, he's not technically Cybertron!" ”
Ian was stunned, he didn't think of this, "What do you say?" ”
Optimus Prime thought for a moment and explained, "You should understand that Cybertrons are all mechanical beings, but mechanical beings do not mean that they are Cybertrons. All of our Cybertron sparks come from the spark source. But the rest of the mechanical life has no such limitations. Tinder confines us to a metal shell that we can't do as much as other mechanical lifeforms, but it also has a great power that other mechanical life doesn't have. And the situation of the Emperor of the Universe is very special! ”
"How special?"
"There are a lot of rumors about the Great Emperor of the Universe, no one knows how strong he is, but what we do know is that he was not a mechanical life before!" Optimus Prime's face was a little serious.
Ian was stunned for a moment, and Optimus Prime said: "It is rumored that he was also a flesh and blood body before, as for what it looks like, it is impossible to test, but later. For some reason, he began to take the path of technology, and transformed his entire body into a machine. Saying that, Optimus Prime sighed again and said, "According to records, the Emperor of the Universe once invaded the planet Cybertron, but at that time, the planet Cybertron was in its prime and was controlled by a powerful Council of Elders. The Council of Elders did their best to finally drive the Emperor of the Universe away. But soon after that, the rebellion of the Fallen King Kong broke out, and the elders were seriously injured because they had spent too much strength against the Emperor of the Universe, otherwise they would never have had time for the Fallen King Kong to become arrogant. ”
Ian blinked as if listening to a commentary, one hand resting his chin on his chin. Smash it, smash it, and ask: "Since the Emperor of the Universe is not strictly speaking a Cybertron, then why should he snatch the source of the fire?" ”
Optimus Prime paused as if he was considering whether to say it or not, but Ian smiled and said, "If you find it difficult." Actually, I don't have to say it, I don't have to be the enemy of the Emperor of the Universe! ”
What Ian said was heartless, but Optimus Prime was sweating profusely and dizzy! If you don't become an enemy of the Great Emperor of the Universe, will you still hand over the source of fire to others? Besides, without Ian's help, he wouldn't be able to deal with the Emperor of the Universe!
Although helpless, Optimus Prime still said: "The origin of the fire is mysterious, and it is a key item to become the overlord of the universe. As for why the Emperor of the Universe wanted it, I think you should have guessed from the name of the Emperor of the Universe! ”
Ian nodded suddenly, and said with a smile: "It seems that this world is really not short of ambitious guys!" ”
Optimus Prime sighed with empathy: "Yes, ambition is slowly growing, and how many people can regard power as dung?" What are you going to do with the tinder source? ”
Ian looked at the source of the fire that had been stored in the glass cover and said, "Now that Asgard's army is fighting outside, it would be irresponsible to transport the source of fire back to Asgard, so I will personally guard the source of fire." ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Ian got the information he wanted to know, so he didn't plan to pestering Optimus Prime anymore, and turned around and walked towards Diana, who looked noble and elegant in a long white dress at this time, and the ancient model that was different from modern beauty instantly became the focus of the audience. It's just a pity, maybe because Diana's mysterious father was an Oriental, whether it was Hippolyta or Athena, when educating her, they all referred to the traditional education of the East. This makes many handsome guys who want to have a good night go back in vain.
"Why don't you dance? Don't want to expose too much in front of the public? Ian quipped with a laugh.
"I just don't have interest, and I don't want to be a tool for those politicians to hype." Diana glanced lightly at the gentlemen on the dance floor who were talking eloquently in front of the camera.
Ian laughed and said, "Don't care, those people are this virtue, you will never see them when the monsters are raging." ”
"On Paradise Island, being a king is to fight side by side with the warriors, but after I have been in contact with human society for so long, I have found that those in power have never fought side by side with the warriors, and there are few generals who lead the troops and go to the front line with the soldiers. I just don't understand! ”
Ian thought for a moment and said: "In fact, in ancient times, kings were more or less involved in bravery, and there were no fewer things about the royal conquest, but you must know that with the advancement of science and technology, missiles and other weapons can now hit the enemy from a long distance. So those in power are rarely with the fighters anymore, and of course, now the situation is different! With the escalation of the enemy, the traditional missiles and nuclear bombs of mankind have lost their effectiveness, on the contrary, the real strong ones are those with hard steel on the front, so these politicians must think of some new tricks more carefully, otherwise they will slowly lose the support of the people. ”
"So they just want to master more superheroes?" Diana's question made Ian stunned, daring to love this sister paper very thoroughly.
Ian smiled and nodded: "What these politicians are best at is operation, playing conspiracy or something is always very slippery, they will make you unconsciously enter their calculations, and even make the public think that one or some superheroes are on their side through various media!" That would increase their approval ratings, which I'm used to happening, especially in an election year. ”
"Then aren't they afraid of being exposed? Which superhero is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if you are in a hurry, there will be problems. ”
"Of course they know about it, otherwise why would Captain America be so sensitive to the Superhero Act? Because when the identities of the superheroes are revealed, it is not only those supervillains who will trouble the heroes, but also some politicians who have no bottom line! Am I right? Steve! Ian shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at Captain America, who was standing to the side at some point. (To be continued.) )
