Chapter 914: Parting Ways
When the war ended, reporters who had been on the periphery of the battlefield flocked to New York, wanting to capture a few soldiers of the Demon Hunter Knights for an interview, after all, they were also rare aliens in a thousand years and appeared in public.
However, their minds were shattered, and the Knights of the Demon Hunters returned to the Demon Hunter in an orderly manner when the last female snake was destroyed. Then, the huge spaceship slowly rose into the air with smoke and disappeared into the clouds, so that even the satellites of various countries could not find any trace of its huge size, as if they had never been to Earth.
Having lost the subject of their interview, the reporters set their sights on the giant giant of the Holy Light, but they were disappointed again.
Edward quickly recovered his body, flapped his wings, put Leo, the shit luck reporter, on the ground, and grabbed Rogers, Barton, Natasha, and Banner back to his original form with four Holy Light hands, and flew towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship, while Stark and Thor returned to the Stark Tower, closed the large hole in the air, escorted Loki, and then returned.
Leo, who was still in the midst of excitement and fright, had not yet come back to his senses, but was surrounded by a large group of envious and jealous reporters, if he hadn't instinctively clenched the camera in his hand, he might have been snatched away by this group of crazy reporters......
When the lucky Leo became a sought-after item in various media, Edward and the others who participated in the war had already returned to the S.H.I.E.L.D. spaceship not far from New York City. As soon as they landed, everyone high-fived each other, shouted joy, and was greeted by applause from all the staff.
"Welcome back, warriors. Fury took the lead in applauding the heroes, and then looked at Loki and said, "How does it feel to watch the conspiracy you hatched yourself foiled?" Mr. Loki. ”
At this time, Loki no longer had the original self-confidence and arrogance, his hands were shackled by two punishments of holy light, his hair was scattered, he glanced at Fury, and sneered, "A bunch of ants who got carried away, one day you will all kneel in my ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Thor lifted his collar and said bitterly, "Haven't you been taught a lesson? Don't you understand? Someone has taken advantage of your thirst for power and made you his vanguard. In his eyes, you are also an ant!"
"No, it can't be!" Loki's eyes widened as he looked at Thordao, "If it weren't for Edward Lee and his Knights, I'd be King of Earth, and all of you ......"
"Childish, even then, all you get is a ruin!" retorted Thor, "look at the Zetaris! You yourself should know in your heart that they may be an army that obeys your orders?
Loki thought for a moment, his eyes blank, and he muttered something in a low voice.
"I have to say, you have a good brother, Loki. Edward glanced at Loki and said, "You yourself don't cherish this feeling, but blindly pursue any rights, it's just foolish." ”
Loki glanced at Thor and unexpectedly didn't retort.
"Director Fury, I want to hand Loki over to our Asgardian trial. "And the Cosmic Cube and the Staff of Destiny, I need to bring them back." These things are the bane, and staying on Earth will only invite endless trouble. ”
Thor's proposal was actually a bit excessive, but Fury didn't immediately deny it, but looked at Edward Dao, "The main force of this war is Edward and his demon hunter knight, and I have no right to intervene in the disposition of these." ”
Thor couldn't say that to Edward, as Fury said, the main heroes of the battle were Edward and the Knights of the Demon Hunters, and it would be a bit of a shame for him to insist on taking the roots of both wars with him after the war.
Edward thought for a moment, then nodded.
At the beginning of the crossing, he asked Charlie about the plane core of this world, but to his surprise, Charlie couldn't detect the plane core, only knowing that there were six cores.
And when Edward came into contact with the Staff of Destiny, he understood that the core of the plane of this world must be a gem set in the head of the Staff of Destiny. The fact that the Staff of Destiny could not be placed in his personal space further confirmed his conjecture.
He has used various methods to explore this gem and the cosmic Rubik's Cube, but all of them have failed. These two things were wrapped in a powerful barrier that prevented him from probing, and he could only feel that they exuded a stream of mana, of which the Cosmic Cube was the space mana, and the staff of fate was the mana that shook the will.
Not being able to put it in personal space means that it can't be taken with him when he returns, and can only be thrown away when the time comes. Instead of this, it is better to sell personal favors directly to Thor and Asgard, and also save the earth from the coveting of alien forces, why not?
Edward didn't know Asgard's ability to protect these things, but since it was called Asgard, it was definitely stronger than Earth.
As for cracking the Cosmic Cube and the Staff of Destiny, the main god projection Charlie left under the pretext of vacation, obviously even he couldn't solve this problem and was evading, let alone Edward himself.
Seeing Edward nodding, Thor breathed a sigh of relief, and his good opinion of Edward in his heart took a step further.
After everyone chatted for a while, Stark noticed that there were two more people around Fury, and one of them was a beautiful woman, so he stepped forward and accosted: "Director Fury, this beauty is ......"
"I'm an emissary of the Knights of the Demon Hunters, and you may call me Saya, Mr. Stark. Saya smiled, "This is the commander of the Demon Hunter Knights, Aite, you should have seen him on the battlefield, he is my husband." ”
In Aite's unkind gaze, Stark sneered, "It turned out to be the eagle's wife, and your husband was very brave on the battlefield and commanded well. ”
"I'm not an eagle, I'm an orthodox human, and that eagle is my transformation, Mr. Stark. Aite was wary of Stark, a famous playboy, and said in a stiff tone, "For the rest of the day, Saya will stay on Earth to negotiate with the high-level of the nations, and I will be responsible for protecting her." ”
The implication is clear.
Stark's embarrassed look caused the others to laugh, and Saya gave Aite a strange look. Rogers and the others said hello to the Aite couple, and soon chatted with the strange comrade-in-arms.
"Director Fury, you gave Loki and those two things to Thor without permission, and you won't let the higher authorities trouble you?" Stark changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this wand, the Cosmic Cube is something you've been working on all along. ”
"If I had reported it, it would have been denied. Fury smiled wryly, "But compared to the future peace on Earth, I'd rather go to court-martialed than have Thor get these things away." So, I think our Mr. Thor needs to get out as soon as possible before moving the main force from Edward's Light Device to the Cosmic Cube above. ”
"It seems that we don't have time for a celebration party. Stark shrugged, "Edward's Light Device is in high demand?"
"It's not just a sought-after. Fury laughed, "Those guys used the Holy Light Device to experiment with twenty people, one of them was resurrected from a high-ranking relative who had just died, five were completely cured, and the others were ineffective. ”
"You don't know how wonderful their expressions were when they saw the dead people get up again, and the terminally ill people jumping around again. ”
"These guys are going crazy, if it weren't for Edward's clear presence on Earth, and the Holy Light Device still in the hands of the Mi Guozheng Axe, maybe they would have started a war for this. ”
"Is that an exaggeration?" Rogers scoffed, a little incredulous, "and they asked themselves if the Light Device would work for them?"
"Hey, it's a bit surprising that there are six good people among the relatives of that group. Stark rolled his eyes, put his arm around Edward's shoulder, and said, "Friend, do you want to stay on Earth and find a place to live? If you don't mind, you can stay in my house, the super villa, and the sea view, you can choose." ”
Edward smiled and pointed at Stark, acquiescing, then looked at Banner, who had been thinking silently, and said, "Dr. Banner, live with me for a while?"
"Is that really possible?" Banner said in surprise, "you can help me get rid of that ...... once and for all Questions?"
"Of course, we are also comrades who have been on the battlefield together, and I believe in your character. Edward laughed, "Not only you, but Rogers, Barton, Natasha, and even Fury, the three of you, can come to me at any time." ”
The meaning of what Edward said about being a guest was obvious, and the people who were named couldn't help but be unusually moved.
"Are you really not considering joining S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Fury tried in a last-ditch effort.
"Nope. Edward smiled and waved his hand, "Since the Demon Hunter Knights have appeared in front of the world, I am not suitable to join S.H.I.E.L.D. as the leader. And I don't have a good feeling about politics, and I don't have time to deal with those people. As long as Shaya and Aite stay in S.H.I.E.L.D. and take care of all kinds of things for me. ”
"Let Loki go, and your position as the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. may not be so secure. Stark continued, "A lot of people are staring at your position. However, if Edward's two emissaries are around, I guess you will be able to sit for a while. ”
"You think I'm rare in this position?" Fury glanced at Stark.
............
After a while, the group continued to talk for a while and rested on the S.H.I.E.L.D. spaceship.
The next day, the ship landed on the surface of the sea, and everyone went to the ground base of S.H.I.E.L.D., and after seeing Thor leave Earth with Loki, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and the Staff of Destiny, they parted ways.
Edward rode Stark's sports car, and Rogers drove Banner on his motorcycle, to the Stark Tower.
Due to the timely support of the Demon Hunter Knights, the Stark Building, which is the center point of the portal, was basically not damaged, but the surface of the building was damaged when the ground battlefield was cleared.
In front of the Stark Building, there were many reporters blocked, and in order to avoid trouble, Edward directly grabbed the three of them with the hand of the Holy Light and flew to the top floor of the Stark Building.
"Welcome back, Tony. A tall woman immediately greeted her, "And Rogers and Mr. Banner, this should be Mr. Lee, I'm Tony's assistant Pepper Potts, you can call me Pepper." ”
"Excuse me, Miss Pepper. Edward smiled and shook Pepper's hand, "We might have to stay here for a while." ”
"It doesn't matter. Tony rarely has good friends coming to stay here and we were welcome. Pepper and Stark's relationship is obviously not ordinary, as a hostess.
"Do you need another house for Edward?" Pepper then asked.
"Of course, I decided to demolish this Stark Building. Stark poured a few glasses of wine for the group and sat down, "It's time to start our previous plan to build a new Stark Group headquarters." After this incident, I found that it is better to have a lower headquarters, so as not to have someone to make up your mind. ”
The three of Edward laughed when they heard this. Speaking of which, Stark is also a disaster this time, in order to meet the location of the portal, there must be a building that provides a huge amount of energy, and in order to satisfy Loki's vanity, this building needs to be very high, so Stark Mansion has become his first choice.
"It's long overdue. Pepper sat down next to Stark with a glass of red wine and said, "Tony is good at everything, he just likes to be in the limelight, and now he has tasted the bitter fruit, right?"
Stark smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the subject, "Edward, when are we going to start?" ”
"Don't worry, Tony. Edward laughed, "Before I can teach you the Light, you have to solve a problem. It's the energy device in your chest. ”
"What's the problem?" Stark said, looking down at his chest, "this energy source has become a part of my body, and there are no side effects. ”
"It's just what you think. Edward said, "But the Light doesn't think so. It will tinker with your body and crowd out the device. Without this energy device, can you still wear a steel suit? I don't want the world to be without an Iron Man. ”
"Holy Light, repair the body?" Before Stark could reply, Pepper stood up in surprise, "Are the rumors true? Is there such a thing as Holy Light? and Tony can learn it?"
Seeing Edward nodding with a smile, Pepper looked at Stark eagerly and said, "Tony, promise Mr. Edward, this is an opportunity to completely restore your body to health!"
"Okay. Knowing that Pepper cared about him, Stark took her into his arms and said, "That's fine, I just need to reinvent the steel suit." ”
