335 The Old Era Ends
As two of the most powerful destroyers leave Earth, the clouds of smoke in the heart of New York no longer expand outward, and a lightweight drone with the S.H.I.E.L.D. insignia streaks across the sky, avoiding the aliens' layers of interception and plunging headlong into the vast sea of smoke.
Although Eric and Thanos were no longer there, visibility was still extremely low, and the thick gray-black was the eternal theme, and all other colors disappeared without a trace, except for the unextinguished flames or the occasional burst of light from an out-of-control energy.
The drone flies silently in the air, from time to time to send back some blurry pictures that orbiting satellites cannot observe, where professionals will carefully sort out and screen these valuable information, and find useful clues from it, and it is just a puppet that has been towed, has been floating and sinking in the vast sea of smoke, until it suddenly rushed out of this lightless land and ushered in the colorful world again.
At this time, it had come to the center of the battlefield, down to the dark abyss of thick fog, and above it was a huge thick cloud, the sea of clouds and the sea of smoke were so close that there was almost a thin line of separation, they seemed to be connected at any time, so that the sky and the earth hugged each other and danced an intimate veneer dance. Such a sight may seem extremely depressing, but on the distant Helicarrier, the S.H.I.E.L.D. commanders were pleasantly surprised to find that the wormhole not far away no longer spits out intruders - it is slowly disappearing without the power of the Rubik's Cube.
"Stark!" Fury immediately contacted Tony. "After the wormhole disappears, the Zetarians will lose their combat effectiveness, right?"
Tony is still stranded on the edge of the battlefield. Since the Mutant Academy has officially announced its involvement in the war, the situation is gradually turning towards humanity, so he and Steve and the others have become dispensable. It can only be used as an auxiliary force to conduct some small-scale guerrilla warfare.
With Stark's character, of course, he will be very unhappy that he has been reduced to a supporting role, but now that the overall situation has been decided, what else can he stir up?
Fury's question was answered in the affirmative, and an uncontrollable smile bloomed from the corner of the one-eyed director's mouth amid the nervous gaze of the others.
At this moment, the entire command room was boiling, and the agents who were under great pressure jumped up, screaming and laughing. Hug the person closest to you.
Fury couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat from his head. I felt a sense of relief. He had been worried that the state-of-the-art drone would be shot down or lose contact, but it lived up to expectations, successfully completed its mission, and sent back the best news.
Although not falling into ecstasy like others. But the chief quietly clenched his fists to cheer himself up.
However, this day was Fury's Good Friday, and before the joy had passed, he became shocked when he received a call from the military.
"You launched a nuclear bomb, when?" Fury's eyes widened and he cried out in a lost voice.
He hurriedly turned around, and then saw that in the signal transmitted by the drone, two Venus stars came from far and near.
On the other side of the nuclear bomb, the wormhole has just disappeared without a trace.
***
When the drone was still searching the wormhole, the golden scale armor beyond the sea of smoke was already all over the city. These are all students of the Academy. Equipped with the Sentinel armor developed by Trask, their unique talents can be converted into a variety of general-purpose abilities, completely making up for their previous shortcomings. It looks like a god with infinite power.
As a result of their efforts, teams of alien invaders were eliminated, and a large number of trapped ordinary citizens were freed - in fact, much faster if they wanted to.
They are only waiting for a signal before they have a reason to replace the government in a big way to quell the war. Rather than quietly retreating after a success, leaving shameless politicians to take the credit for themselves. But the losses suffered in the war are blamed on the real saviors.
Now the signal is that the nuclear bomb has been launched means that the human hierarchy has completely abandoned the innocent citizens and pinned their hopes on scorched earth tactics to fight the invasion.
In the midst of all the attention, two missiles reflected the blood-red light of the remnant sun, and John the Burning Man met one of them, and the other was dealt with by the little mischievous Mary.
They were no longer the fledglings hiding under Eric's wings, John was free to control the heat and radiation, Mary had found the right way to use her powers, and now the mischievous little was an energy eater like Shaw, and more powerful than him.
In the despair and anger of the remaining citizens, a tyrannical light that symbolizes destruction erupts, and then, unsurprisingly, quickly returns to peace.
One mass of energy was completely absorbed by Mary, and the other was compressed into a small ball of light, which quickly swirled around John's fingers.
Ignoring the grateful cries of the survivors below, the Burning Man greeted Jean, who had just flown over.
"Is the boss back?" John asked, anxious to know how the war with Thanos would turn out.
Jean straightened the corners of her burnt skirt and didn't answer, just casually pointed behind him, behind the burning man, Eric's figure was stepping out of the void.
"John, I'm so proud of you." Eric smiled softly, his eyes warm.
He habitually wanted to pat the burning man on the shoulder, but John gave him a hard hug.
"Thank you, Chief." The new leader of the academy whispered in the mentor's ear. "I've wanted to say this for a long time, thank you for all you have done for us."
Eric smiled, he didn't answer, and then the little mischievous Mary pounced, and then Alison and Pete and the others, like cocoons embracing the light, like fireflies, all the students of the academy gathered around and hugged him tightly.
At the outskirts of the crowd, Bhabbi, the Iceman, descended to the ground in disappointment, knowing that he had missed the most precious time of his life.
***
Dusk was coming to an end, the setting sun was hidden in the distant horizon, and half of the western sky was dripping with blood red.
At this time, the dark clouds had all dissipated, and only wisps of light gray smoke were still floating on the ground from time to time, and Reed, the rubber man who was the leader of the Fantastic Four, walked through the ruins, passing past the gray-faced refugees, and he was also embarrassed, not only with black marks on his face, but also everywhere on his dark blue uniform.
After experiencing an alien siege, only the Stone Man is left with him.
"I said Reed." The stone man read his name in a loud voice. "You're just leaving, leaving Susan with that guy?"
Reed's handsome face twitched.
"Should I hug my head and cry, or find a bar that is still open and get myself thoroughly drunk with alcohol?" He asked smugly.
The stone man shrugged his shoulders and crushed the bricks under his feet without paying attention.
"That's not impossible, I won't laugh at you anyway, I know it's not good to be dumped, I've had that experience...... My chest is always available for you to lean on if you need it. ”
"Thank you." Listening to his companion's comfort, Reed suddenly felt not only distressed, but also a faint pain in his stomach.
"I'll do it if I need to. As for now, good luck to her. ”
Reed turned his head and looked away at the sunset for a moment, then left without looking back.
On this day, the alien invasion plan was thwarted, and mutants and superheroes did their best to rekindle hope for humanity, but the world did not return to peace as soon as people optimistically estimated.
In the New York incident, not only did the United States suffer a heavy blow, but it also had an extremely far-reaching impact on the international situation -- military, scientific, technological, financial, and diplomatic...... It seems that every aspect has been affected, not to mention the intractable post-war reconstruction work.
Worst of all, the alien threat hasn't really subsided.
Under the influence of an invisible hand, the news of visitors from outside the sky never left the headlines.
Sometimes one can see these alien creatures in a nearby city, or legend has it that a new front has been opened elsewhere.
Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo...... After New York, major cities were patronized by extraterrestrial creatures, and the superficial chaos overshadowed some little-known reshuffles, in which many old consortia went out of business, some celebrities with extreme attitudes disappeared, and even several old countries were subverted and divided for different reasons.
There is widespread panic in this regard.
The only good news is that mutants have replaced the military as the most important umbrella for humanity, and in order to avoid the threat of nuclear bombs, the majority of voters have abandoned traditional politicians and voted for the emerging powers, and in return, they will be safe.
In this way, the situation is getting better day by day, and there are fewer and fewer sporadic incidents of alien infestation...... Although it has never been broken.
Under the threat of reality, superpowers are generally recognized as important members of the human family, the hope of the world, the forerunner of evolution, and the new human being worthy of envy and respect.
"So, from that day on, the old times were over." Eric stood high in the air and said thoughtfully to the man next to him.
Below them, there was a crowd of people who could not see the eye as far as the eye could see. (To be continued)
