Chapter 117: Talokan
"Without my words...... You humans simply can't ...... Woohoo...... Survive the invaders...... Woohoo ......"
"Putting oneself as the center of the world and thinking that oneself is irreplaceable is a typical child's nature. But considering you're barely a year old, I think I'll forgive you, Ultron. ”
"I'll ...... Come back..... Whoop—"
Finally, after leaving a last word in the style of the Terminator, Ultron's vibranium cell body completely turned gray-white, and the mind gem set on its forehead automatically broke away and fell into Red's hands.
At that moment, Hela slowly descended from the sky and landed beside Red.
"All the mechanical figures I can see have been destroyed, so I shouldn't miss anything, huh? What's the matter—uh! ”
The moment Hela wanted to get closer to Red, she suddenly took a few steps back as if she had been electrocuted, and looked at Red with a little more panic in her eyes that did not belong to the goddess of death.
"It's okay Hela, don't get too close to me, now the energy of the Mind Gem is hard for me to control, God knows what will happen?"
Red smiled bitterly and looked at the Mind Gem in his hand, the energy of the Infinity Stones is not so easy to manipulate, and even some gems with overbearing energy can make people disappear just by touching them.
Although Red controlled a part of the energy of the Infinity Stones by amplifying it, it was like forcibly sucking the gasoline out of the car with a water pump, and if he got it, he would even blow it up if he was not careful.
"So what was just an illusion? Children of Odin...... Ragnarok ...... Asgard of Destruction...... Spaceship ......"
Red didn't pay attention to Hela's muttering, he was concentrating on returning the energy he had just drawn from Ultron back to the Mind Gem, and the Spirit Star circled around Red a little restlessly.
Finally, after almost fifteen minutes, the uncontrolled mind gem energy in Red's body finally subsided, and the spirit star immediately jumped on him happily.
"Alright, alright, it's time to see how the others are doing - Ivan, can you hear me? How's it going over there? ”
However, Red waited for almost a minute, but there was no response, and just as he was feeling uneasy, Ivan's voice finally rang out.
"Ahem, sorry...... Something went wrong, although Tony Stark had already solved the cosmic Rubik's Cube portal...... It seems to have been opened. ”
Red breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, what he was worried about was Iron Man, as for the Zetari army, it was not a very dangerous enemy, this kind of scum that could be disposed of in one go as long as the mothership was solved, in fact, even the human army might be able to fight back.
"It's okay, I'll pick you up now."
"Wait...... Before that, I want to ask you a question - do you know the purple-skinned giant who knocked Hulk back into Banner with his bare hands? ”
——
Half an hour ago.
"Don't let go, or you might be crushed by the water pressure."
"Thank God if I could die so easily, and your ring is amazing enough to take me to the bottom of the ocean without any equipment...... Wait, I seem to see a light there. ”
Ivan and Banner approached the light that stood out in the darkness of the sea, and soon a magnificent underwater city appeared in front of them.
"This is what Red is talking about in Talokan...... Oh my God, it's like the legendary Atlantis! It's amazing. ”
However, compared to the amazed Banner, Ivan was much more vigilant, driving the red light ring to scan the surroundings.
"If the underwater realm that Red is talking about, then the highly xenophobic Talokans he warned us about are also there, don't let your guard down."
Ivan and Banner continued to dive, and soon they were close to the underwater city, but they immediately discovered that what Red had said was not entirely true.
They saw the Talokans, but they weren't attacked by them, not because the Talokans were friendly—
It's because they've all been turned into corpses.
In this underwater city, there are blue-skinned corpses floating everywhere, and it seems that this carnage is not far away, and even Ivan and Banner can see their terrified expressions before they die.
"We need to find the location of Tony and the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Vanke, can your lamp ring scan the gamma ray value......"
"There's no need for that, you see."
Following Ivan's finger, Banner saw a frequent, glowing light source like an artificial sun in the center of Talokan.
As if beckoning to them.
——
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem—hell, what the hell is going on here!"
Entering the entrance under the artificial sun in the center of Talokan, which looked like a cave at the bottom of the sea, Banner immediately retched when he came out of the water, even the underwater Shura field seemed too eerie to him.
"Needless to say, the invaders occupied this place, but the aborigines here were unwilling to hand over their vibranium resources, so like all the conquered primitive tribes, they ended up in this fate."
On the ground not far away, Banner and Ivan found the corpse of a sturdy man, who, unlike the other Talokans, had skin that was not blue and more similar to that of an above-ground human, but still had pointed ears and webbed feet that looked like sea animals.
Looking at the fatal wound on his chest, which was obviously inflicted by the pulse cannon, Banner's eyes looked very complicated.
"Could it be that Tony did it? I knew he was a little out of control, but I didn't expect it...... He would be so cruel. ”
"If you know that this man named Namor intends to declare war on the whole world with the Talokans, you will know that I am contributing to world peace."
Suddenly, Tony Stark's voice echoed throughout the cavern, and then the metal-clad body appeared in front of Ivan and Banner amid heavy footsteps.
"That's not your reason for the massacre—"
"It's not a massacre, it's a knockout. Backward civilizations, inefficient races, according to my calculations, they affect the order and development of the world......"
Banner seemed to want to argue with the Iron Man in front of him, but was stopped by Ivan.
"You calm down and don't get excited, he's not Tony Stark, and no matter how much you tell him, he's just playing the piano to the cow."
Hearing Ivan's words, Iron Man clicked open the mask as if he wanted to prove it, revealing a face with deep sunken eyes and a scruffy beard.
"I'm Tony Stark, not a stand-in, not a remote control—"
"Shut up."
Ivan took a step forward and snorted coldly, and the mourning whip suit manifested with red light energy appeared on his body, staring at the Iron Man in front of him with a cold gaze.
"You're not Tony Stark, you're not even brainwashed but a whole different person, I can recognize that. I'm not going to let Tony Stark sleep so easily to hide from my pain and sins, and I won't be able to vent my anger. ”
"Get out of his head, Ultron."
