The Big Devil in the American Comics World

The helicopter flew out of New York City, flew to the sea off Long Island, and landed on a brightly lit "island" on the sea.

"When did an island appear here?"

Susan asked in surprise, but she didn't exclaim until she was close enough:

"Wow, I was wrong, that's not an island, it's a huge ship!"

That's right, the huge thing that looks like an island in the night is the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sky carrier.

This is a sea-and-sky amphibious mobile castle with a total length of 473 meters, a width of 305 meters including four lift turbofans, and a body full of black technology.

Of course, although this big guy looks scary, it is also extremely fragile.

Anyway, in this world, there are many forces that can destroy it.

The helicopter landed on the empty deck according to the indicator light.

Li Xingzhou led Susan out of the helicopter, and saw "Ma Hero" wearing a leather windbreaker and an eye mask, striding over with two agents, one male and one female, and said in a deep voice:

"Welcome, both of you. If you don't mind, please wait here with me, and the Avengers will arrive soon."

"No problem." Li Xingzhou nodded with a smile, and looked at the two agents next to Nick Fury, "Agent Coulson is an old acquaintance, who is this lady?"

"Good evening, Mr. Victor, Ms. Stone."

Agent Phil Coulson, who has a strong hairstyle and looks a bit like Jason Statham, greeted Li Xingzhou and Susan politely.

Another capable short-haired female agent also greeted the two and introduced herself:

"I am Maria Hill, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Nice to meet you." Li Xingzhou nodded and asked Nick Fury: "So what is the situation of this big event?"

Nick Fury put his hands behind his back, looked up at the night sky, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, I will explain in detail when everyone is here."

A few minutes later, another helicopter landed, and three people jumped out of the cabin. They were Reed, the Human Torch, and the Thing from the Fantastic Four.

"Reed, Johnny, Ben!" Susan waved to the three people: "I'm here."

"Ha, sister, I knew you were with Li Ang."

Johnny came over with a smile and gave Li Xingzhou a warm hug.

Reed also came over, greeted Li Xingzhou and Susan, and introduced the stone man following behind him to Li Xingzhou:

"This is Ben Grimm, a good friend of me, Susan and Johnny."

"I know him, the majestic stone man, I often see your news on TV. Susan also often mentions you."

Li Xingzhou smiled and stretched out his hand, holding the rough and hard stone hand of the stone man.

The stone man said in a buzzing voice:

"I have also seen your news, Red Dragon. I just didn't expect that you would become Susan's boyfriend. I have to remind you that Susan is our family and our most beautiful flower. You can't hurt her, otherwise the Fantastic Four will not let you go."

"Uh, sorry, Ben has no ill intentions. He just cares about Susan..."

Reed, who has seen Li Xingzhou's strength, said hurriedly, fearing that Li Xingzhou would get angry and beat Ben down like he beat Doom.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, I'm glad that Susan has a family like you who cares about her. I solemnly promise you here..." Li Xingzhou looked at the Stone Man, Reed, and Thunderbolt: "I will cherish Susan as much as I cherish my own heart."

"Wow!" Thunderbolt Johnny whistled, "No matter what others think, I believe in your promise."

In fact, Johnny knew what kind of playboy Li Xingzhou was.

When he followed Li Xingzhou to destroy the werewolf nest, he saw his other two lovers Selina and Iliana with his own eyes.

But...

Although Leonardo is a playboy, he doesn't seem to be the type of Tony Stark who doesn't recognize people after pulling up his pants, but is a very serious long-term business.

So maybe he believes in Mormonism?

Who cares, as long as my sister is happy.

The Stone Man and Reed also nodded with satisfaction to Li Xingzhou's promise, and Susan blushed slightly, with a sweet smile at the corners of her lips, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of happiness and satisfaction.

After a while, another helicopter arrived.

After the helicopter stopped, Natasha Romanoff, the "Black Widow" who had met Li Xingzhou once, jumped off the helicopter.

She was wearing that classic battle suit, and her curvy and hot body was outlined by the battle suit to the fullest. Johnny the Human Torch almost couldn't help but whistle, and even Reed and the Stone Man couldn't help but look at her twice.

Behind the Black Widow, another elegant man of medium height who looked like a scholar also jumped off the helicopter. Nick Fury greeted him and said:

"Welcome, Dr. Bruce Banner, I am Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Well, the elegant man was the Hulk Bruce Banner.

Looking at Dr. Banner who was shaking hands and chatting with Nick Fury, and then looking at Dr. Reed next to him, Li Xingzhou touched his chin, feeling a little subtle.

So is today a gathering of victims?

Two victims have gathered on this ship...

After Dr. Banner arrived, Nick Fury did not wait any longer and led everyone into the cabin and to a conference room.

There were already two people waiting in the conference room.

One of them was Li Xingzhou's old friend Tony Stark.

Now Tony was staring at a tall and burly blond man with broad shoulders and back.

The blond man wore a battle suit that was very familiar to everyone, and carried a shield on his back. His appearance was very similar to Johnny's, but his temperament was far more mature and steady than Johnny's, and his eyes were calm and determined. He looked very Looks reliable.

Everyone was slightly startled when they saw the blond man, especially Johnny, who widened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Susan:

"Sister, do we have a long-lost brother?"

Susan also looked puzzled:

"No, I am the eldest daughter, and you are the only younger brother... Uh, why does this person look familiar?"

Johnny shouted:

"Of course he looks familiar! He looks a lot like me!"

Susan explained:

"No, I'm talking about his suit and shield. This look looks very familiar..."

"Wait!" Johnny suddenly clapped his hands and pointed at the blond man and shouted: "I remember, this suit and shield... isn't this Captain America's classic outfit?"

Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder the blond man looked familiar, wasn't his outfit exactly the same as Captain America, the most popular superhero from decades ago?

"It seems that everyone has recognized him."

Nick Fury clapped his hands and said to everyone:

"Yes, this one is the World War II hero, Nazi nemesis, Captain America, Steve Rogers. He has been sleeping under the iceberg for seventy years, and we have just found him recently. Because he is the most perfect first-generation super soldier, And because he had been in a frozen state, he returned to the world alive in his peak form. "

"It's a miracle. I didn't expect that an old hero from decades ago would still be so young!" Johnny marveled: "I didn't expect that he would be so similar to me. I guess we must have the same ancestor..."

Susan gave Johnny a gentle elbow, glared at him and scolded him softly:

"Be polite, this is a World War II hero who fought against the Nazis!"

Johnny chuckled and immediately calmed down and acted like a good boy.

Nick Fury was about to introduce everyone to Steve and Tony, but Tony had already greeted Li Xingzhou and others familiarly:

"Hi, Leon, I'm glad that you are also a member of the Avengers. It seems that we can fight side by side. Reed, I didn't expect that a good old guy like you who is not good at fighting would also join the Avengers. Dr. Banner, although I haven't met him. , but I have been famous for you for a long time. I am your fan and like that big green guy very much...

"Oh, beautiful Miss Susan, no matter which time I see you, I will always be amazed by your beauty. Unfortunately, it was Reed first, and now Li Ang. Every time I meet you, you are a famous beauty. State. This is really my misfortune..."

Although Tony is arrogant and arrogant, as long as he is willing to put down his dignity, he can interact happily with almost everyone.

However, apart from beauties, not everyone can make Tony put down his posture and take the initiative to communicate. Although Reed and Banner are geniuses with IQs that he can sympathize with, in Tony's eyes, Stone Man and Johnny are just... It should be small and transparent.

But Tony still greeted them enthusiastically. His behavior, Li Xingzhou could tell at a glance, was an attempt to gain dominance over the Avengers - Tony was such a person, trying to lead and control the situation by himself at all times. .

Of course, this is not malicious, but his natural arrogance and suspicion make him unwilling to be subordinate to others and be dominated by others.

While Tony showed off his dancing side, Steve Rogers sat aside and quietly observed everyone.

As a veteran, he could tell at a glance that most of the people in this team were far from qualified as combatants.

Even though they have strong individual strength, they almost all have an air of unorganized and undisciplined.

Especially Tony Stark, the genius son of his old friend Howard, and Johnny, who looks so much like Steve that Steve once wondered if he was related to his family. These two guys are the most out of touch. , there is absolutely no warrior temperament at all.

But he also knew that he couldn't hold them to warrior standards.

They all grew up in a prosperous and stable peaceful era, and their careers were only scientists or even civilians. They had not experienced any military training, so how could they easily become qualified soldiers?

Nick Fury's thoughts are different from Captain America's.

Of course he knows that these superheroes are free, unorganized and undisciplined stragglers, but he trusts their strength and believes that when faced with a crisis, they have enough awareness to work together and become the strongest shield to protect the earth. .

After allowing Tony to have a heated exchange with everyone, Nick Fury said to everyone:

"Okay, the social time is over, let's get down to business now. This big event is codenamed 'Mist'..."

He motioned to Hill to put down the projection screen in the conference room, dimmed the room light, and then turned on the projector to project satellite photos onto the screen.

"The location of the incident is Maine. As shown in the picture, a thick fog that is not naturally generated has enveloped a small town called Green Lake, as well as the mountains and lakes near Green Lake Town, with an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers. ”

While playing satellite photos, he introduced the situation:

"This thick fog is very strange. Not only can it isolate electromagnetic waves, it seems to even corrode cable currents, so that communications inside and outside the thick fog are completely cut off. After the incident, the Department of Homeland Security sent three waves of agents and a tactical team to explore , but without exception all lost contact..."

Tony raised his hand and asked:

"So we don't know anything about what's going on inside the fog now?"

Nick Fury was silent for a while and said in a deep voice:

"In fact, it is not unknown. After SHIELD took over, it mobilized various intelligence channels, and finally found out the cause of the fog from the military's confidential information. This was a secret experiment by the military Experimental accidents caused by errors in laboratory operation.”

"Ha, military!"

Tony spread his hands, curled his lips, and said disdainfully:

"I knew that those idiots always get into trouble and then let others wipe their butts for them!"

"Now is not the time to worry about this."

Steve Rogers said in a deep voice:

"What exactly is that military laboratory studying? What are the specific circumstances of the experimental accident? How many small town residents are now trapped in the fog?"

Nick Fury said:

"The secret laboratory of the military mainly studies different dimensions. I think I must first explain the concept of different dimensions. Some people here may not understand it. Yes, different dimensions exist, myths and legends The gods and demons there also exist..."

He showed a few more slides, which were photos of the transformed Thor fighting the "Destroyer":

"The man in the photo wearing ancient armor and holding a short hammer is the legendary Thor, the god of thunder. The big guy who looks like a robot and fights with him is the magic mecha built by the God King Odin. This battle took place In New Mexico, right under the nose of SHIELD, many SHIELD agents and even the residents of the town where the battlefield was located witnessed the battle with their own eyes. "

He looked around at the crowd, taking in their expressions of amazement, doubt, and confusion, and continued:

"Everyone, there is no doubt that the gods in Nordic mythology are real. According to intelligence, Asgard where the Nordic gods live is not a planet like the earth, but a huge flat different dimension. Since Asgard exists, we have every reason to speculate that there are many other different dimensions that also exist. Do you still have any questions about this? "

Although everyone except Li Xingzhou still had some doubts, they also knew that SHIELD could not joke about such a thing, so they all shook their heads and expressed that they could accept the existence of different dimensions.

Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief and then said:

"Continuing to talk about the 'Mist' incident. The military once used some method to find a small space-time rift near the small town in Maine, so it established a secret laboratory there to try to pass through that space-time rift. Contact another dimension to obtain certain resources.

"According to the experimental records returned before the experiment went out of control, the military's secret laboratory has mastered the method of expanding the rift. Therefore, it can be reasonably speculated that the consequence of the out-of-control experiment is the excessive expansion of the rift, so that something from another dimension enters. our world.

"Because the experimental base is not far from the town, all the more than 3,000 residents of the town have fallen into it. So far, no one has escaped from the fog. The most important thing is..."

He looked around at everyone and said in a heavy tone:

"The fog radius is still expanding at a rate of 0.2 to 0.3 miles per hour. If not stopped in time, this dense fog may eventually cover the entire state of Maine, the entire North America, and even the world."

Tony sneered and said:

"Since it was the military that caused the trouble, did they send anyone to solve it?"

"Of course."

Nick Fury said:

"The military dispatched a reconnaissance drone, but lost contact as soon as it entered the thick fog. It also dispatched two armored companies and three armed helicopters carrying SEALs, but they also lost contact as soon as they entered.

"The military tried to use large-scale bombing to disperse the dense fog, but the proposal was rejected. First, there may be civilians, agents, and soldiers surviving inside the fog, and second, because no one can be sure whether large-scale bombing will be counterproductive. Not only is it impossible to Solving the problem will make the space-time rift larger and the fog expand faster."

Johnny raised his hand and asked:

"So our mission is to save civilians?"

"No."

Nick Fury said solemnly:

"The fog is too harmful. Once its expansion cannot be stopped, it will be a global crisis that may lead to mankind being plunged into despair. Therefore, your mission is to go deep into the fog, find the secret military laboratory, and close the space-time rift."

"Close the space-time rift?" Tony spread his hands: "I'm afraid this is difficult. We just heard about the different dimensions for the first time today. We have no research on it and no preparations. How to close the space-time rift?"

"Of course SHIELD has a solution."

He gave the order, and the black widow and a short-haired man carrying a bow and arrow came in carrying a silver box.

"This is SHIELD agent, 'Hawkeye' Clint Barton."

Nick Fury introduced the short-haired man, then pointed to the silver box and said:

"This is a prop prepared by SHIELD for this operation. It can close the space-time rift."

He looked at Captain America and his tone had a special meaning:

"Steve, you are responsible for keeping and operating it. Agent Natasha will teach you how to operate it."

Looking at the sharp look in Nick Fury's one eye and listening to his subtle and meaningful tone, Captain America's heart moved slightly: Is the prop that can close the rift in time and space contained in the box...the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?

If it is the Cosmic Cube, then it is not difficult to understand why Nick Fury asked him, Steve Rogers, to keep it.

Because Steve is the only person who has personally come into contact with the Cube, and will never conspire against the power of the Cube.

While Steve was thinking, Nick Fury continued:

"Everyone, the helicarrier is about to take off. We will arrive in Maine before dawn. Please take the time to rest. If you have any equipment needs, please put them forward directly and we will do our best to meet them."

"I think we need to bring some sampling and analysis equipment to detect the components of the fog..."

"I need a set of biological detection equipment. If there are any otherworldly creatures, I can detect and analyze them on the spot..."

Reed, Susan and others made requests one after another. .

Tony came to Li Xingzhou and whispered:

"Looking for a place to chat?"

Li Xingzhou nodded, and Tony and he left the conference room, walked to the smoking area at the end of the corridor, took a cigarette and lit it.

After taking two puffs of cigarette, Tony used the scanner on his watch to scan the surrounding area to make sure there was no surveillance equipment, and then whispered:

"Nick's braised egg didn't tell the truth."

He glanced towards the conference room, then stared at Li Xingzhou and asked:

"What do you think?"

Li Xingzhou shrugged:

"Yes, he concealed some key information. For example, what method did the military use to find the time and space rift? And for example, what method did the military use to expand the time and space rift? Finally..."

Tony interfaced:

"How can he be sure that the props he prepared will be able to close the space-time rift?"

Li Xingzhou said: "Unless the prop itself is related to the expansion of the rift——"

Tony said: "Since it is a key, of course it can open and lock the door."

"It seems we have reached an agreement." Li Xingzhou smiled.

Tony nodded: "Yes, I read that right. You also have a smart mind. I just said that I don't make friends with idiots. There must be a reason why I can chat with you."

He took a deep breath of cigarette and said:

"I am 90% sure that SHIELD has some degree of cooperation with the military's secret laboratory. Maybe SHIELD helped the military find the rift, and provided the military with experiments on expanding the rift. Fang provided some help.”

Li Xingzhou said it was reasonable - S.H.I.E.L.D. controls the Cosmic Cube and has a unique advantage in the research of different dimensions.

By the way, in the "what if..." world line where Agent Carter became Captain America, SHIELD conducted many experiments to open the space-time tunnel in order to rescue the thin dog version of Steve Rogers who unfortunately fell into the space-time tunnel. It has connected many messy different time and space dimensions, and even released tentacle monsters from different dimensions.

Of course, because S.H.I.E.L.D. controls the Cosmic Cube, even if a dangerous monster is released, it can stop the energy input in time and close the space-time tunnel to prevent the experiment from completely getting out of control.

This time, it seems that the military laboratory got away with it. After all, there was no Cosmic Cube in that laboratory. It was probably just getting some Cosmic Cube energy from S.H.I.E.L.D.

In short, this out-of-control experiment accident may not be the fault of SHIELD, but the source must be related to SHIELD.

Of course, Li Xingzhou doesn't actually care about this.

This accident was an opportunity for him.

Because he finally had a chance to come into contact with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube...

"Are you going to expose Nick Fury?" Tony asked.

"What's the point?" Li Xingzhou asked: "He is an agent. Lying is the instinct of an agent. Keeping secrets is the creed of an agent. Even if he is exposed, it has no real meaning. We still have to do this vote, otherwise the whole world may All will be swallowed up by the mist.”

Tony also scratched his head helplessly:

"You are right, but I still feel very unhappy. I hate this situation that is not under my control..."

However, even you can't control everything, and there will be times when you get out of control, such as the Ultron incident...

Li Xingzhou smiled secretly in his heart, raised his hand and patted Tony on the shoulder:

"Okay Tony, since you have chosen the path of being a hero, you must go on unswervingly. This time, we are responsible for the security and future of the world. No matter what you think, I feel quite honored anyway. "

What a great merit this is!

I feel that after accomplishing something, I can completely build a golden body of merit and virtue, and hold it on my head to bear the catastrophe.

"Well, you are right. If this happens, it will be enough for me to brag in front of my female companions for a whole year..."

Tony raised his hands and rubbed his face, cheering up:

"But now that I have caught Nick, I have no intention of letting him go so easily. I have to get some benefits out of him."

"You still need to extract benefits from him?"

"Of course. Although SHIELD's technical level is far inferior to mine, it still has a little bit of background. I have to find Nick to get some good stuff that I don't have."

"Go ahead and wish you success immediately."

"Nick's handle was jointly deduced by us, and you have a share of the credit. Don't worry, I will share the results with you."

Tony threw away his cigarette butts, straightened his clothes, and went to rip off Nick with great ambition.

Li Xingzhou stayed here and smoked a cigarette again. He waited until Susan went out to find him, then threw away the cigarette butt and Shi Shiran walked over.

The helicarrier won't arrive in Maine until dawn, and it can still rest for a while.

The huge helicarrier has enough space, so each member of the Avengers has a separate lounge.

However, Li Xingzhou was not single, and he definitely wanted to rest with Susan.

lounge.

Li Xingzhou sat on the single bed fixed on the bulkhead, playing with Susan's soft jade ball and saying:

"When you enter the foggy area, no matter what happens, don't panic, especially don't leave the team..."

Susan sat sideways on his lap, hugging his neck, her cheeks turned red, and she gasped slightly and said:

"I know. I have participated in the battle to exterminate the werewolf lair. What else can happen to scare me? Well..."

She pursed her lips and let out a soft hum from her nose, but Li Xingzhou gently pinched the tip, causing a shiver and numbness all over her body.

"You don't seem to have had much for dinner."

"I'm losing weight."

"Losing weight? There's no need. Your body fat percentage is just right and you're not fat at all."

"But Selena has a very beautiful waistline."

"Don't you also have a vest line?"

"But mine is not as clear as hers. There seems to be a little fat on the buttocks and thighs."

"You women are really...even an extra gram of fat is an eyesore. But I think it's just right, especially in the buttocks and thighs. How can I not have any fat? Just eat normally and keep exercising. There is no need to deliberately diet to lose weight."

"Okay, as long as you think it's okay, I won't diet on purpose anymore."

"Then what I missed during dinner should I make up for with extra meals?"

"..." Susan rolled her eyes at him shyly: "You bad guy, that's what you had in mind..."

Even so, she obediently slid off Li Xingzhou's lap, knelt down in front of him, bowed her head and started eating.

There was still plenty of time, and Li Xingzhou didn't know exactly what he would encounter, so he had to give Susan extra meals to help her improve her condition to the best.

Just as the Helicarrier rose into the night sky and flew towards Maine.

A secret base of S.H.I.E.L.D.

A figure holding a strange-shaped staff, wearing classical armor, a dark green cloak, and a strange-shaped helmet with curved horns, Shi Shiran walked into the base.

Although Nick Fury has led the team to Maine, the base is still heavily guarded.

But neither the heavily armed S.H.I.E.L.D. commandos nor the various advanced monitoring and detection instruments seemed to notice the figure, and actually allowed him to reach the deepest part of the base unimpeded.

In the deepest part of the base, a shiny blue cube is placed in a large, technological instrument. Some researchers are busy around it, testing various data.

That cube turned out to be the "Cosmic Cube" - Nick Fury did not take the Cosmic Cube away, and it was still stored in this secret base.

The silver box on the helicarrier only uses a special device to store some of the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

Of course, even if the main body of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is not there, if it is just to do some damage to stop the expansion of the space-time rift and restore it to its original state, the energy of the Rubik's Cube in the silver box will be more than enough.

However, it was precisely because Nick Fury brought out the SHIELD elites and the Avengers also took the Helicarrier to Maine. Although this underground base is still heavily guarded, there is no longer any high-end power stationed there.

So much so that the guy who was holding on to his staff and dressed in retro clothes was able to leisurely go deep into the base as if he was sightseeing, and even went straight to the instrument that housed the Cosmic Cube itself.

He stood next to the instrument, admiring the charming brilliance of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube that seemed to contain the stars of the universe, but did not touch the Rubik's Cube.

This instrument has an alarm device. Once an unauthorized outsider touches it, Nick Fury will immediately receive the alarm and then lead his super team to fight back.

Although the guy holding the law enforcement stick is arrogant and looks down on the weak, short-lived, ant-like indigenous humans on the planet "Midgard", he is not his brother whose brain is full of muscles. Rather than directly using violence , he prefers to play tricks on people's hearts.

For example, this time, he used a little trick to transfer the SHIELD elite, and even the most powerful superheroes in New York, giving him enough time and space to turn New York upside down.

"It is indeed a cosmic treasure. Look at its brilliance. The most gorgeous jewelry in Asgard is not as good as its rareness."

The guy holding the law stick whispered to himself, and soon, a vague voice sounded in his ears:

"Yes, this is one of the most beautiful and powerful treasures in the universe, and it will soon belong to you. Congratulations, the great prince of lies..."

"Hey, although the title 'Prince of Lies' sounds good, I am the god of lies and deceit..."

"But you got the fragment of the Prince of Lies' godhead, didn't you?"

"Yes, that unlucky god from another world, the fragment of his godhead unexpectedly matched up with me... This is really my luck."

"Of course. The clerical fields of the Prince of Lies are murder, lies, conspiracy, fraud, and illusion. Each of his clerical fields is 100% consistent with you. It is precisely because of this that you can obtain the fragment of the Prince of Lies' godhead. The fateful pull that is 100% consistent..."

"You are right, but remember, I am the god of lies and deceit. It was I who swallowed the Prince of Lies, not the other way around."

"Of course, the truth is just as you said, great prince of lies..."

This time, Asgard's God of Lies and Trickery, Loki, did not refute again, and seemed to acquiesce in the title of "Prince of Lies" - after all, he was originally the prince of Asgard, and his main priesthood also happened to be "Lies and Trickery" , the title Prince of Lies seems to be tailor-made for him?

In any case, Loki is now more powerful than his past self.

He was confident that even if he had a head-on confrontation with his brother Thor again, he would not necessarily lose.

But again, rather than fighting head-on, he prefers to use lies and deception to play with people's hearts, and use conspiracy and trickery to achieve his goals. This will give him a sense of intellectual superiority.

There's nothing more fun than playing fools.

"So, Prince of Lies, what are you waiting for? This treasure is already within your reach."

"Waiting for a more appropriate time."

Loki said leisurely:

"When SHIELD's helicarrier flies to the foggy area, and when those powerful heroes in New York go deep into the fog to save the world...that's when I will show off my skills and take New York and even the whole world into my hands..."

Please give me a monthly pass
