Hunter starting from Hunter World

Earth, North America, Missouri.

This was originally an obscure state in the Midwest of the United States.

If it weren't for a famous writer named Mark Twain, people's impression of it would almost entirely remain on farms, pastures, large virgin forests, and beautiful natural scenery.

But now, it has become the focus of the world.

Whether it was the government, the military, S.H.I.E.L.D., which had just undergone a demolition and reconstruction, and the Avengers, they all gathered here to look at the dark blue unknown substance that swallowed up large areas of land, forests, buildings and roads.

Obviously, these dark blue and shimmering mysterious substances are nothing else. They are the plants that Egg planted back then, or they are called his clones.

His initial purpose was very simple, which was to assimilate more planets by replicating a large number of his own cells, or even create people of the same kind as himself.

Because in his opinion, the vast majority of intelligent life in this universe are too low-level and disappointing, and are not qualified to coexist with them in the same world, so he wants to transform them according to his own will.

This is very similar to Thanos.

In other words, many villains in the Marvel Universe have similar characteristics.

That is, what they do is not for the pursuit of personal power, rights and desires, but for ideals and to create what they think is a better future.

But unfortunately, these seeds were only half activated, and Egg was eaten by Verna Lassas.

The cells that have lost control remain in a semi-activated state, neither expanding nor contracting.

If attacked by the outside world, it will also release energy and explosions to fight back.

This kind of counterattack often produces the destructive power of tens of millions of tons of nuclear weapons explosions, so much so that even the US government does not know what to do and can only maintain the status quo for the time being.

After all, no matter how crazy those shameless politicians and bureaucrats are, they would not dare to continuously cause such strong explosions on their own land. If they accidentally trigger natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, it will be great fun.

You must know that the Washington government's previous brazen invasion of the two neighboring countries has caused unimaginable diplomatic, military and security pressure.

The border, which was originally not very fortified, now has to accumulate heavy troops to barely control vicious cases such as cross-border vendettas.

At the same time, after the inside story that SHIELD was completely penetrated and controlled by Hydra was exposed, the American people were in an uproar.

Operation Paperclip, which led to all of this, has become the target of siege.

Suddenly, "McCarthyism", which once shocked countless people, reared its head again.

In order to cater to the people's extreme ideas, various politicians have put forward their own radical ideas. Even the word "Great Purge" has appeared frequently in various campaign rallies and speeches.

Poor Justin Hammer and the Hammer Industries he founded were directly forcibly nationalized because they were too deeply involved with Hydra, and then restructured their internal management, and finally were listed on the stock market by major chaebols. and Capital Group Acquisitions.

In contrast, Stark Industries, which has always been very stable internally, took advantage of this opportunity to expand wildly.

Now it has become the most powerful multinational giant in the Americas, covering everything from energy to electronic products.

Although Iron Man's attitude toward the U.S. government and military is getting worse and worse, and he is even full of naked and undisguised contempt, these people still hold him up like an ancestor.

no way!

As the technology provided by Allen begins to enter the application field, the technological hegemony established by the United States since the end of World War II can no longer be maintained. The decline of technological hegemony also means that military hegemony is crumbling, and military hegemony is the most important thing to support financial and monetary hegemony. Fulcrum.

The three complement each other, and the lack of any one will lead to the loss of the other two positions.

Therefore, even if it is for their own interests, they must carefully serve Stark Industries.

Otherwise, once the willful Tony Stark announces that he will change his nationality or travel to other countries with technology, these politicians, senior officials and capital groups may not even have a place to cry.

In particular, the space war triggered by the Insight Project has allowed several powerful countries to see the development direction of future wars, and have launched their own space warship R\u0026D and manufacturing plans.

As for the American plan, the most important energy sources and engines can only be produced by Stark Industries.

Of course, for Iron Man, these despicable and dirty political tricks have never been his consideration.

Right now, this man in a steel suit was standing in front of a large group of dark blue cells that were four or five stories high. He asked in an uncertain tone: "Is this thing alive?"

"That's right! After detection by the instrument, these unknown cells contain extremely amazing energy fluctuations. The previous explosions, which were comparable to nuclear warheads, were the result of a large number of cells releasing energy instantly." Colson touched it. The half-bald head replied.

It can be seen that the death of Nick Fury and the overthrow and reconstruction of S.H.I.E.L.D. almost exhausted his energy, and the whole person looked very tired.

After all, although my previous job was dangerous and busy, I didn't need to consider issues from an overall perspective, let alone worry about political troubles.

But now, with Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. dying together, the U.S. government and military have finally begun to persecute the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D., trying to annex these forces and manpower and turn them into a knife in their own hands.

In short, things are not going well for SHIELD after its reconstruction.

As for having the right to freely enter and exit, collect intelligence and conduct activities in major countries and regions in the world as before, don't even think about it.

Funds have also been cut down to very little, and we can barely maintain a rough structure.

If possible, Coulson would not want to take over the so-called director's position at all.

But the problem is that Maria Hill is no longer trusted by the International Security Council because she helped Nick Fury hide a real alien warship.

In order to ensure that the rebuilt S.H.I.E.L.D. would no longer be infiltrated by Hydra, Coulson could only reluctantly take this position with little power but considerable trouble.

From the time he took office until now, the most important thing he has done is to hunt down escaped Hydra members and clean up the mess left by Nick Fury.

Like now, this is the first time that we have truly come forward to deal with a threat that affects the life and death of the earth and mankind.

"In other words, these cells are like giant bombs with consciousness. If we attack it, it will fight back by self-destructing?" Tony Stark opened his visor and touched his chin, lost in thought.

Colson nodded solemnly: "Yes! Judging from its current area and the power of the previous explosions, if they were detonated together, not to mention Missouri, the entire United States would be wiped off the map. erase."

"What did Thor say? This thing shouldn't be a product of the earth." Iron Man tried to get more useful information.

You must know that among the Avengers, if there is anyone who knows the most about the universe, it is Brother Hammer.

Although he has a carefree personality and is not exposed to too many secrets, he is still a hundred times better than these people trapped on the earth.

In fact, more than half of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s internal records about alien civilizations come from the oral narrations of Thor.

Although Allen knew a lot about alien civilization through Sakura, he did not reveal much to the International Security Council.

"After Thor saw it, he took the Rainbow Bridge back to Asgard to ask other people. If there is any news, he will come back soon to inform us." Colson sighed helplessly.

Obviously, instead of being helpless here, he would rather continue to hunt down the fugitive Hydra members and study the use of the obelisk he just obtained not long ago.

But unfortunately, as the director of SHIELD, dealing with supernatural threats is his most important job.

So even if he is squatting here doing nothing, the National Security Council will not allow him and his people to leave to perform other tasks.

After all, from the perspective of all mankind, although the threat of Hydra is not small, it can be described as insignificant compared to this kind of disaster that may lead to the destruction of mankind and even the earth.

Tony Stark was obviously very aware of how difficult SHIELD's situation was at the moment. He gently patted the opponent's shoulder and comforted: "Relax, we will find a solution. By the way, those things I gave you some time ago Where is the magic apprentice?"

"They have all been transferred by the International Security Council and intend to establish a separate unit after identity checks."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Colson's face became extremely ugly.

Because the International Security Council has made it clear that it no longer trusts SHIELD, let alone its management and leadership capabilities.

"All of them? None left for you?" Tony Stark's eyes widened in surprise.

Coulson smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yeah! Not a single one was left. Not only that, they also prohibited me from conducting transactions and contacts with Sky City without authorization."

"Hydra's insight plan scared them quite a bit this time." Tony sneered and mocked.

"Anyway, let's find a way to deal with these unknown cells first. Based on the images captured by the satellite, we can conclude that the location where it first erupted was in the woods not far from a gas station on the road. From From start to stop, it only took a total of ten minutes to expand to the current floor area. Although it is not clear why it suddenly stopped, if it had not stopped, it would have been able to swallow the entire thing in up to twelve hours. Planet.”

While talking, Coulson took out his tablet from his pocket and showed Iron Man the entire process of this unknown cell explosion.

Staring at the images that continued to play on the screen, Tony frowned subconsciously: "Has Alesia come to see it?"

"Have seen it. She said it has nothing to do with magic. And since Mr. Allen has not returned yet, the Sky City is temporarily in a semi-closed state. Unless we are really in danger of extinction, they will not take action. "Colson hurriedly explained.

This is why he can still remain calm until now.

Since Sky City does not take action, it means that these blue cells will not continue to expand for the time being.

"Damn it! Where did that guy go? He hasn't come back after so long..." Tony couldn't help but complain.

You must know that after Allen left, both the Wonder House and the grocery store were completely closed.

The important materials he used to make the magic version of the steel suit have now lost their sources.

If Thor, God of Thunder, hadn't brought a few pieces of Uru Kobelco, even repairing it would have been a big problem.

"I have some guesses about this." Coulson lowered his voice and whispered in Iron Man's ear.

"Oh? What a guess!" Tony's eyes flashed with strong curiosity.

Colson looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he took a deep breath and said, "As far as I know, one of Lord Allen's companions entered the universe a few years ago and asked the three empires. One of the Kree Empire launched an attack. If nothing else, he may have gone to help destroy this powerful alien civilization."

"What?! The Kree Empire!" Tony's expression suddenly changed. "You mean...they launched a war that could affect the entire universe?"

"Yes! Their goal from the beginning was to destroy the Kree Empire. Because this civilization once came to the earth and even tried to enslave humans and turn the earth into their colony." Coulson rarely said something good for Allen .

After all, as an Earthling, he had no favorable impression of these blue-skinned and extremely strong alien invaders at all, and wished they would all die as soon as possible.

Only in this way will the earth become safer.

"No! I mean, why didn't Allen call me for such an interesting thing?" Tony pointed at his nose and roared angrily.

This is a veritable space war!

As a member of the generation who grew up watching the Star Wars series, he is full of yearnings for the grand and gorgeous universe.

But now, he had missed such a rare opportunity. The pain and regret simply made this proud Iron Man go crazy.

Just when Coulson wanted to say something to change the subject, a portal suddenly opened out of thin air.

Before the busy agents around him could react to what was happening, Allen's figure appeared directly in everyone's sight.

Not only him, but also Mantis, who was extremely curious about her surroundings.

As for Verna Lasas, she had long since turned into a badge to completely hide herself.

After all, she is a giant red dragon. Even if she is reduced to the size of a palm, it will cause a series of troubles.

Dragons are not creatures that can be seen everywhere on earth.

But after Verna Lassus hid, the attention of all the agents was immediately attracted to the tentacles on Mantis's forehead.

Especially the senior agents who had come into contact with alien things instantly judged that this was a 100% alien creature, and they all pulled out their guns and got ready for battle.
