Chapter 333: Do You Crave Strength?
California Institute of Technology, California, in front of the academic building.
Thor let Jane go of his arms and turned to protect her.
He didn't let Jane escape, the buildings of the earth seemed to him not much stronger than foam, even if Jane hid in a nearby school building, it was not considered any protection, it was better to stay by his side, but safer than to hide away from him in those fragile buildings that would crumble at the slightest touch.
Thor stared at the air and frowned deeply: "I have a very bad feeling, as if some enemy is approaching. β
As an Asgardian warrior who has fought for thousands of years, Thor has honed his fighting skills and nurturing the instincts of a warrior.
He found no evidence or clues that there was an enemy in the distance, but he instinctively sensed danger and hostility in that direction.
In appearance, he felt that these mechanical creatures were a bit like Deadpool, and they had encountered Deadpool when they had fought the lizard professor who had just completed their dragonization, and those golden eyes were almost identical.
"I don't know, it looks a bit like a machine, but it's also like a living thing...... "Jane, is there any creature on Earth that looks like a fighter?" β
"Jane, do you really want someone to attack you?" Thor was a little puzzled.
After a pause, Lu Mingfei didn't forget to blow Thor again: "Probably because you are the strongest avenger, Lucifer feels that it is necessary to destroy you first, so that after it completely leaves the mirror space in the future, it will be much easier to rule the earth and the surrounding civilizations." β
There are six screens displayed at the same time, one of which are the perspectives of the six Iron Deadpools, whose eyes have been transformed to resemble those of a camera.
"I know," Lu Mingfei nodded, "but it's too late to say this now, those Iron Deadpools are now controlled by Lucifer, and those Steel Deadpools who attacked you should be Lucifer who discovered a small hole in the mirror space and controlled them to attack you." β
"Oh, that's okay, it's not much......" Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.
Now Natasha doesn't have any dark circles in her eyes, but she still looks sluggish, looks at Lu Mingfei, and asks with humble eyes: "What do you have to say in person?" β
Tony and Banner then discovered the Mind Gem in the Scepter and used it as a basis to create the super-artificial intelligence "Lucifer" they needed, and created a powerful steel dragon body for Lucifer. As a result, Lucifer's ambition got out of control and took control of the entire Mirror Space Steel Deadpool.
Although Thor's fear of electricity sounds a bit, it's definitely not a joke for Thor.
Half an hour later, Natasha sat opposite Lu Mingfei in Lu Mingfei's laboratory.
Meanwhile, in Tony's lab.
Loki stretched out his hands to Thor and said submissively, "Well, of course, of course...... This kind of confidential matter can only be listened to by a smart and trustworthy person like you, brother. β
"No problem," Lu Mingfei paused and said, "By the way, Tony, Natasha resigned from the Avengers logistics office and joined my sect, does it matter if we gave her a half-breed serum as we said earlier?" β
Maybe it's the new breed Deadpool?
As Tony said, this thing is not a precious thing.
"What's wrong, Thor? Is there anything urgent? Lu Mingfei pretended to be surprised.
"You can give it if you want, it's not a precious thing anyway," Tony said, "I recently upgraded the half-breed modified serum, and I've already injected it, what is the effect...... It's probably to get the bloodline up to the C rating on your side, and the strength of the effect depends to a certain extent on the luck of the injector. β
We're not quite ready to trap you. Lu Ming is not in the heart.
Most of these words are true, and only a few have been processed a little, so Lu Mingfei's narration is quite true, and Thor is convinced.
Lu Mingfei got out of the helicopter, followed by Loki, who looked honest.
Lu Mingfei: ......
So before Lu Mingfei could speak, Thor hurriedly reminded: "Loki is still here, let's talk about it in another place." β
He still hopes that Thor can be stronger, firstly, everyone is an ally, and if any alien forces enter the earth Thor can also help in the future, and secondly, Thor is stronger, and the probability that he will help Thor awaken his divine power will be greater.
While Thor was speaking, the six "fighters" were already approaching, and instantly slowed down, hovering in the air.
"Okay, Thor should be done here, he will contact you soon, and then you will tell him as planned, Lucifer is out of control, and he has taken control of the entire Iron Deadpool army in the mirror space, and is trying to find a way to leave the mirror space and capture the earth. With his character, he would definitely ask for a fight with Lucifer. Tony said as he sat down in a metal chair that looked like an electric chair.
Jane looked at the sky and saw nothingβas an ordinary person, her eyesight was much worse than that of Thor, an Asgardian, and she was a little short-sighted, and what Thor could see far exceeded her visual distance.
"Ming Fei! I've got something to look for you! Thor walked briskly towards Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei glanced at Loki.
Jane shook her head in confusion.
"Not necessarily," Tony shook his head, "In order not to hurt the innocent people around him, Jarvis has never let Iron Deadpool release the Spirit, although these Iron Deadpools will definitely not be Thor's opponent even if they release the Spirit, but it is difficult to say whether he will have it so easily." β
Lu Mingfei's living room.
Under Lu Mingfei's puzzled gaze, Tony even put on a helmet full of wires for himself.
"I just got home from work......" Natasha said.
"Okay...... Then when you're ready to go in and destroy that Lucifer, be sure to call me," Thor said, "after all, I'm the strongest Avenger!" β
Loki glanced at Thor.
"Let's go, Thor, let's go into the living room and say," Lu Mingfei interrupted the conversation between the two and looked at Loki and said, "Loki, you go to another house, don't eavesdrop on our conversation, you know?" β
"Of course, I never expected to be able to deceive you like this, after all, brother, you have become more and more mature and intelligent since you were demoted to Midgard." Loki said sincerely.
"Hmm...... It's a special thing, if you still have the energy now, can you come to my house and talk about it? Lu Mingfei said.
The six golden pupils of Iron Deadpool in mid-air turned and swept coldly, locking onto Thor, and three of the stronger ones swooped down from mid-air in an instant, and six long sharp claws stabbed down on Thor.
"No...... I ......" Jane opened her mouth.
"Hah! It was a miscalculation, and Steel Deadpool wasn't enough to cause me any trouble, let alone assassinate me. Thor shook his head, his face full of disdain.
β¦β¦
Any claw could easily destroy a main battle tank, but Thor simply threw the hammer in his hand, and Thor's hammer turned into an afterimage, sweeping the three figures into the air, scattering metal shards in the air - all from the bodies of these steel Deadpools.
β¦β¦
Lu Mingfei had just returned home in a helicopter when a bolt of lightning struck, and Thor walked out of the lightning.
Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to speak, Thor waved his hand: "It seems that this Lucifer is not that strong, Mingfei, you directly open the mirror space, and we will kill it!" β
I don't know if it's an illusion, but for a moment, Thor suddenly felt that Lu Mingfei's smile was quite similar to Loki's.
"I'm sorry brother, I'm not discriminating against you, but your cunning is obvious to all, and it's impossible for us to tell you important things, right?" Thor shrugged.
Lu Mingfei felt that he had to get rid of Loki quickly, and let him say a few words to Thor, he was really afraid that he would laugh out loud.
"Natasha? You don't seem to have much energy," Lu Mingfei was a little surprised, "Are you too busy with work?" β
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Mingfei sent Saul away and dialed Natasha's phone.
"This is the device I and Banner worked on to amplify my spiritual 'snake' and link it to Jarvis," Tony rolled his eyes as he wore his helmet, "where does this look like an electric chair?" β
However, although he is sure that he is reliable, Thor also knows that Loki is definitely not reliable.
He heard Lu Mingfei say that Deadpool comes from his blood and is controlled by him, which means that the new breed of Deadpool in front of him is likely to belong to Lu Mingfei?
Thinking of this, Thor tried to speak to Deadpool in mid-air, "Who are you?" Why did you come to me? β
"I've been attacked by a couple of semi-mechanized creatures that look like Deadpool," Thor said, "Did you build those things?" Or were they made by someone else, like the Deadpools in Sokovia at the time? β
Lu Mingfei: ......
Saul, who also saw the visitor clearly, raised his eyebrows slightly, always feeling that these things were a little familiar.
"Tony, what are you doing here? Electrocution of yourself? Lu Mingfei complained.
"Thor is the god of thunder after all, as long as he doesn't encounter thunder and lightning spirits, it shouldn't be a big problem." Lu Mingfei Dao.
"Ming Fei! How can you create such a dangerous legion at will? Thor frowned, "I can understand the current sense of crisis on the earth, but if you rashly create advanced weapons that you can't control, you may not wait for other civilizations to invade, and the earth itself will be destroyed by the out-of-control advanced weapons first." β
Lu Mingfei told Sol what he had planned before.
Thor interrupted Jane's words and stared into the air: "It's coming!" β
As she spoke, Jane saw six small black dots in the sky zoom in rapidly, and the shape became clear from a small black dot barely visible to the naked eye, which seemed to look like a ...... Fighter plane?!
Because of the distance and its speed, Jane couldn't see what it was, only that it looked like a fighter jet.
Deadpools, who had been swept by Thor's hammer, flew upside down for dozens of meters before restabilizing their bodies, and there were extra black cracks on their metal bodies.
"Brother, even if you compliment me, I won't let my guard down on you," Thor shook his head, "Your method of gaining trust is too low-level to fool me." β
"It's supposed to be looking for me, after all, it can't be you, right?" Thor blurted out.
Lu Mingfei nodded, and said nothing about Tony's upgrade of the half-breed modified serum.
But after just staring at it for a few seconds, Jane saw that six small black dots seemed to appear between the blue sky and white clouds.
"Looks like it's really Deadpool," Thor wondered, "Someone made Deadpool out of Mingfei's genes again?" I've got to go talk to him......"
β¦β¦
"Hello? Who is it? Natasha's weak voice came over the phone.
That's when Jane saw what the six things looked like - they weren't fighter planes, they were more like a kind of cyborg with huge bat wings or dragon wings, with a metallic sheen all over their bodies, and their arms were close to their torsos when they flew over before, their legs were together, and the membrane wings behind them were fully open, and they did look a bit like fighter jets.
"What's that?" Jane was a little surprised.
"That's right," Tony put on his helmet, "I'll leave the rest to you and Banner, don't bother me if there's nothing important, I'm going to concentrate on finding Lucifer's subroutine, it's hidden deep online." β
Hearing Lu Mingfei say that he was "reliable", Salton suddenly showed a somewhat proud expression - of course he is reliable, he is the future king of Asgard, how can he not be reliable?!
"It's not like an electric chair, look at the metal material, the rough decoration, the light bulb on the back of the chair, the wires connected to the chair, and the wires on your helmet, no matter how you look at it, it's an electric chair!" Lu Mingfei complained loudly.
"But it doesn't matter, it's much stronger than before anyway," Natasha's voice was still very young, but it showed a kind of old man-like tiredness, "Do you have anything to do with me?" β
Lu Mingfei smiled and nodded: "Of course, of course." β
"Hmm...... Although it's a little unreliable, Thor is still very strong. Lu Ming nodded dissatisfied.
The C-class hybrid is at most a high-level logistics staff at the Kassel Academy, and it is really not a high-blood.
"Oh," Lu Mingfei said suddenly, "when the subprogram is hacked, the information sent back to Lucifer is also edited by us." β
"I started work at five o'clock in the morning today." Natasha said.
"I'm a little famous in the astronomy world, maybe it's a terrorist who came to attack me......" Jane was a little unconvinced.
The only difference is that the Deadpools they encountered at the beginning were all pure creatures, and none of them had metal weapons on them, let alone metal bodies like robots.
β¦β¦
Soon after, though, the cracks began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye - Deadpool, which had been metallized through the Cradle of Regeneration, retained most of its recovery power.
"Coming for you?" Jane said that after all, she had seen a big scene, and when she heard Thor say that an enemy was coming, although she was quite nervous, she was not panicked.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, and just when Lu Mingfei wondered if Natasha threw the phone directly after hearing him, the other side of the phone finally rang again: "Okay, you wait for me to get up from the bed first...... I just got home and was lying on my bed, a little reluctant to move. β
It probably means that Tony, Banner and himself have created an army of Steel Deadpool in order to deal with possible attacks from the universe in the future, which are stored in the mirror space. Because the number is so large, a powerful super artificial intelligence is needed to manipulate its operations.
"It was built in a hurry, I didn't have time to modify the appearance, anyway, it didn't have to be released like a battle armor, and it wasn't unbearable to spray paint later," Tony said, "The point is, with this thing, I can use the 'snake' and Jarvis to find Lucifer's subroutine throughout the Internet, and then hack it to control and transform." β
It is almost impossible for Lucifer's subroutines to be hacked by artificial intelligence on Earth, but ...... If the one who hacked it was the creator of Lucifer, that would be a different matter.
"Well, of course." Lu Mingfei nodded as usual.
"Wait Thor, don't be so impulsive, we're not quite ready for battle, it's better to wait until everyone else is ready before going in together." Lu Mingfei reminded, "Although you are the strongest Avenger, it is better not to underestimate the enemy." β
β¦β¦
In just a few minutes of fighting, the images went black one by one, proving that Thor was methodically eliminating him from the attack, Deadpool.
Although they closed the mirror space in time, the mirror space is not absolutely impossible to break through, and Lucifer is currently studying how to escape inside.
"Hmm......" Lu Mingfei pretended to be hesitant, and pondered for a few seconds before he looked at Sol Dao with a sincere face, "In principle, I should keep this matter a secret, but I have always felt that Sol you are very reliable, and it is not that you can't tell you by exception." β
Lu Mingfei and Tony looked at the image displayed on Jarvis's screen.
"Ahem!" Lu Mingfei cleared his throat, looked at Natasha with a serious face, and said solemnly, "Natasha, do you crave power?" β
Natasha:???
