Chapter 397: Persimmon to pick up soft pinch
When a man sits at home, evil comes from heaven.
The life of mutants is now very comfortable, without the oppression of the old United States, and under the deterrence of Queen Raven's force, they have been accepted by various countries one after another, and have become ordinary members of countless races on the earth. Although it was not treated very preferentially, it was like heaven compared to the situation of rats crossing the street back then.
Paradise Island is isolated overseas, but it is rich in resources and abundant products, and if you want oil, you will have oil, if you want gold, you will have gold, and all kinds of minerals will be available.
Although due to factors such as education level, mutants do not have many high-tech industries, but with unlimited mineral resources alone, all mutants can live a rich life like a desert tyrant.
Mutants are short-sighted, and no one is worried that this will cause their people to develop a bad habit of indulgence and hard work, forcing them to study, work, and practice martial arts. As a result, mutants are content to fall, seriously lack the idea of being prepared for danger in times of peace, rely on everything and rely on the handouts of a few top mutants, and do not understand the truth of self-reliance.
However, the leaders of these mutants are also extremely heroic, not only do not refuse to rely on their clansmen, but often exceed their wishes, indulging in the praise of their clansmen, and the abnormal sense of self-satisfaction.
Maybe after a long time, when these superheroes who suddenly occupy high positions finally calm down, they can really become qualified national leaders, but disaster will not give them this opportunity.
Natural disasters are unexpected!
When meteors rain all over the earth, Paradise Island certainly can't escape this catastrophe.
Fortunately, this natural disaster did not erupt from the interior of the earth, so Raven and the others had enough time to respond.
After a period of initial chaos, the X-Men quickly assembled and divided into two teams, each responsible for blocking threats such as meteorites falling from the sky, and rescuing the disaster on the island.
Compared to the world of ordinary people in the outside world, in the face of this kind of natural disaster of the annihilation level, the weakness is less than helplessness, and Paradise Island is all mutants, and the security is not known to be much stronger than the human society in the outside world.
But the world-destroying natural disaster is not something that can be solved by just X-Men.
They can protect the safety of Paradise Island, but they can't protect the surrounding sea, let alone the farther continent.
Countless meteors fell into the sea, like a rain of hellfire, setting off waves of violent typhoons on the sea, and many of the huge energy carried by these meteors were converted into heat energy, raising the temperature of the surface of the sea.
In some areas where the fire and rain are intensive, the sea surface is already boiling, boiling the seawater into a pot of oversized seafood porridge.
A large amount of steam rises and rushes towards Paradise Island with typhoons and waves, wave after wave, as if it never ends.
Icemen and other mutants are scattered around the island, using their abilities to resist the catastrophe one after another, and Queen Raven sits in the center of the island, distracted and watchful in all directions, ready to send reinforcements everywhere.
A single wave of natural disasters is not very threatening to mutants, but the tsunami is continuous, and it will continue to stack up and become stronger and stronger.
Even Raven and those powerful mutants joined forces, and it was very difficult to deal with it.
The worst thing is that the meteor shower in the sky keeps falling.
The wrath of the sea does not disappear until the source of the disaster stops.
And if you keep it for a long time, Ruiwen can't guarantee that if she is not careful, she will let this escalating disaster rush into the island, causing irreparable losses.
】
It was in this situation that Tony and Clint came to Paradise Island.
"Her Majesty doesn't have time to meet guests now, please come back!"
The guards of Paradise Island coldly gave the order to evict the guests.
Because of the previous Illuminati incident, the relationship between mutants and the Avengers is not bad, and they have been paying attention to some of the actions of the Illuminati, so as soon as this battle began, the mutants already knew.
Although they don't know the cause and effect, they do know that one side of the battle is the Avengers, and the other side is Zhan Liu.
This makes the mutants have a very bad impression of the Avengers, believing that they are the main culprits in the embarrassing situation of Paradise Island.
On the one hand, Zhan Liu's performance has always been relatively homely, and it seems that he has never taken the initiative to initiate any conflicts with others.
On the other hand, Zhan Liu also has a master-apprentice relationship with his own queen, is he a comrade-in-arms who once fought side by side with Her Majesty, and is also the titular master of all mutant magnetic field warriors.
Compared with outsiders like the Avengers, mutants still believe in Zhan Liu, the titular ancestor.
If it weren't for the fact that it was not appropriate to make enemies at this moment, I am afraid that many mutants with fiery personalities would rush up.
Tony knew that it was not appropriate to come here at this time, if it weren't for the fact that he was here to ask for help, with his character, he would have flown directly to the gate of the palace and landed, how could he stop here at the guards who entered the island?
So he patiently explained: "We have a very important matter here, the stakes are very high, please let Queen Raven make a decision." ”
He paused, for fear that Raven would refuse, and added, "I'm here this time to talk to her about the future safety of mutants, and I ask her to take some time to talk to me." ”
Tony deliberately said very seriously, and the guard hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to make a decision for Raven, but picked up the communicator and reported to the palace.
Tony and Clint waited anxiously outside, firing some laser lasers to smash some meteorite fragments that fell on this side, helping the mutants here relieve some of the stress and brushing up some goodwill by the way.
Moments later, word came from the palace that they agreed to meet with Tony.
The two of them were in good spirits, and hurriedly activated their battle armors and flew in the direction of the palace.
Now the meteor rain in the sky is relatively sparse, after all, only Zhan Liu and Hulk are the driving force for the first wave of the bombardment, and then the two of them will move away from the direction of the earth and enter the deep space to fight.
Raven is now busy flying around, mainly to quell the tsunamis and hot steam that have been pushed in from afar.
The waves rolled up by the typhoon will gradually become stronger with the advancement of distance, and the wave head will be higher, and the energy will be stored more, especially when it is close to the shore, because the elevation of the seabed will make the wave head rise in a straight line, and the farthest can directly rush into the coast for 20 kilometers.
What's more troublesome is the high-temperature steam, which is invisible and substantial, but once it touches the human skin, it is a burn, and if it is inhaled into the body, even the respiratory tract and lungs will be damaged, directly threatening the life of the creature.
Icemen and others create a large number of icebergs on the periphery of the island, forming a wall-like ring defensive barrier, which is not only protected from sea waves, but also against high temperatures. Raven uses magnetic fields to form a unique force field to channel the high-temperature steam over the iceberg into the clouds in the sky, causing heavy rain to fall throughout the island, and using the rain to take away the energy in the high-temperature steam and lower the temperature.
After Tony and the two arrived at the palace, they waited for a long time before they saw Raven, who was busy.
"Tell me, are there any dangers for mutants in the future?" With a gloomy face, Raven landed in the palace and sat on the throne.
The firefighting work just now is just tedious, but it is not difficult, Raven has been busy for a long time, and she is still not tired, but the mood is definitely not very good.
So her attitude towards Tony is also very polite, and she is obviously also resentful of the Avengers messing around, causing such a worldwide crisis.
"Your Majesty, the last time I came, I said that mutants cannot exist apart from the world, and you should get more involved in world affairs and make more contributions to maintaining world peace."
"Otherwise, dangers like today's will appear more to mutants."
"What you are doing now is completely treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and if the root cause problem is not solved, you will still face more crises!"
"You may be able to solve this crisis, but what about next time? What about next time? ”
"How many rounds of crisis can you solve?"
"You must take precautions and eliminate dangers before they are budding, so that small dangers do not become big dangers."
Raven interrupted Tony's tirade with a displeased wave, glaring at Tony with a cold eyebrow.
"It seems to me that you Avengers are the root of all unrest, and without you there would be no such danger!"
"Hehe......" Tony sneered, "Before we came to this universe, the earth here was blown up twice, isn't it possible that you also want to throw these responsibilities on our heads?" ”
Raven was speechless for a moment, but she still didn't agree with Tony's words.
"But this time the battle was triggered by you Avengers, right?"
"We triggered?" Tony was furious, "Are you pretending to be a lake?" Her Majesty! ”
"It was Zhan Liuxian who destroyed Sokovia, slaughtered the people there, and took the Reality Gem!"
"It was Zhan Liu who killed our relatives and made us endure the pain of being separated from our families!"
"It was Zhan Liu who killed me in this universe!"
"Don't say you didn't pay attention to all this, but now you're accusing us because you think we're Avengers to be bullies, right?"
"A slap doesn't make a sound, Master Zhan Liu is still very reasonable, and many things can be discussed!" Although Ruiwen also knew that her master was not very reasonable, the two never had a conflict, but benefited a lot from the master, and of course spoke to her master.
"Didn't we consult?" Tony laughed angrily, "But you Martial Gods, who wants to discuss with us?" ”
"The last time we came to you, did you agree to discuss it with us?"
"You're just asking us to do what you think!"
"We've always been the ones who have been giving in unilaterally, right?"
Raven looked away and changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about that. Back to the original question, what does this have to do with the safety of our mutants? You've been talking about these topics that have nothing to do with us. ”
"It's not irrelevant, Your Majesty!"
Tony waved his arms, strengthened his tone, and emphasized:
"I know that you treat us Avengers as a huge trouble, but it is undeniable that Zhan Six is also a huge trouble."
"Zhan Liu is an uncontrollable troublemaker, and anything that touches him will eventually turn into a natural disaster of a global nature."
"Just like this disaster, how innocent are mutants?"
"But if we don't solve Zhan Liu, this kind of disaster will come one after another in the future."
"Would you like to live in such fear all day?"
"We have to solve the huge trouble of Zhan Liu!"
"After this battle, we will leave this universe with the Infinity Stones."
"The two huge troubles are gone, and you are the strongest on the whole earth."
"In the future earth, mutants have the final say!"
Tony knows that there are no real superheroes in this universe, and all are refined egoists. If you want to convince Raven, you can't achieve your goal by relying on the banner of morality such as justice alone, and you have to buy her with actual benefits in the end.
Raven was indeed a little moved, but when she thought of Zhan Liu's strong force, she immediately regained her senses.
She shook her head and flatly refused, "I have no intention of becoming the master of the earth, let alone being an enemy of Master Zhanliu because of this. ”
"Your empty promises are meaningless!"
"And what if we add a paradise that will never be affected by natural disasters on Earth again?" Tony threw out the chips he had prepared.
"Xanadu?" Raven's heart fluttered and asked, "Is it another dimension?" ”
"That's not it, I'm talking about the super battleship in the sky." Tony held out his finger and pointed at the behemoth floating in space-synchronous orbit.
"That super battleship is the highest technological crystallization of the Dark Order, and it is also one of the few treasures in the entire universe, with a complete ecosystem on it, which can provide the entire city's population with free life and entertainment on it."
"The construction materials of the super battleship are made of various rare metals and alloys in the universe, and they are even stronger than the earth."
"Although the meteor shower in the sky has stopped now, the natural disasters and tsunamis in various parts of the outside world have not subsided, and this side of Paradise Island will still be hit by various disasters for a long time."
"And the battle in the sky is not over yet, who knows when, there will be a new natural disaster."
"The earth may explode again at some point!"
"But as long as you move all the mutants to the super battleship, you will immediately be free from the influence and shackles of the earth, and there will be no danger at all."
"If you encounter danger, you only need to delay for a little time, and the other mutants can immediately use the super battleship to escape, and there will be no worries about extinction from now on!"
"When you're not doing anything, you can also get mutants to go on vacation on the ground. The super battleship has a teleportation device on it, which is very convenient. ”
At this moment, Raven was completely moved.
"Okay, I'll arrange the manpower now, and transfer all the mutants to the super battleship!"
"You arrange for the handover!"
"After I get the control of the super battleship, I will join forces with you to take out Zhan Liu!"
Tony was overjoyed and hurriedly contacted the little raccoon on the supership in outer space to prepare for the handover.
Raven, on her part, let Flicker open the portal, and the X-Men will carry out the big transfer.
The super battleship also turned on the batch teleportation and reception function, and the mutant portal went hand in hand, and soon sent all mutants to the super battleship, and even the mutants and relatives in the ordinary human world were also connected.
After the mutants had taken full control of the ship, Tony approached Raven and urged, "It's time for us to go, Your Majesty." ”
Raven glanced at Tony deeply, and a mysterious smile hung on her lips, "Tony, I learned a very important truth by the side of Master Zhanliu, that is, ......"
"Persimmon to pick up soft pinch!"
Before the words fell, Raven suddenly burst out, her hands rose and fell, and a slap smashed Tony's head.
