The Big Devil in the American Comics World

The crew dining room of the helicarrier was arranged like a buffet reception. The returning Avengers were surrounded by cheers and ribbons as soon as they entered the restaurant.

The celebration party began, and the Avengers enjoyed the treatment of heroes, laughing loudly and drinking wine surrounded by the crew.

Reed, Banner, and Tony, the three most powerful minds, drank together and talked about topics that ordinary people couldn't understand at all. From time to time, they took photos with the crew members who admired them.

The US team also found the feeling of being in the army, and joined forces with Stone Man, a calm and reliable teammate, to drink with the crew.

Eagle Eye and Widow Sister were hiding in a corner drinking and chatting. People who didn't know better might think they were a couple, but who would have thought that Eagle Eye was already married and had a child?

Johnny, a young and handsome man with two young and beautiful female crew members in his arms, loudly recounted the various terrifying behemoths that the Avengers encountered in the foggy area, describing vividly how powerful and terrifying the behemoths were, and showing off his ability to face the behemoths head-on. His fearlessness and bravery caused the two beautiful crew members to scream in surprise, their hearts brimming with love, and their whole bodies were pressed against him.

"Looks like Johnny's going to have a great night tonight. Hopefully his back holds up."

Li Xingzhou held a glass of wine and smiled at Susan beside him.

"So you are envious of Johnny?" Susan smiled half-heartedly: "I also saw many beautiful women ogling you just now, so should I leave and create an opportunity for you?"

Li Xingzhou laughed dumbly:

"Is there any beauty more charming than you on this boat? It's enough to have you by your side..."

As he was talking, Nick Fury came over with a wine glass: "Let's talk?"

Li Xingzhou knew what he wanted to say as soon as he saw his expression, and said to Susan:

"Sorry, I have to go talk to the Director about world events. Why don't you go talk to smart people like Reed first? I know you can keep up with them."

Susan patted his chest, smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Li Xingzhou followed Nick Fury to the corner of the restaurant and sat down on two single sofas facing each other.

"I have received the battle report from New York. Although many details are still unclear due to the blood mist, we already understand the general situation."

Nick Fury stared at Li Xingzhou with one eye and said slowly:

"Your power is more powerful than what you showed in front of us. In fact, when I learned from Thor's confession when he took Loki to surrender that it was you who defeated Loki and destroyed the alien army, I was Really freaked out.

"I can't figure out how you can appear in two places at the same time and deal with two battles at the same time, but I think it's not really important. Because what's really important is that as long as you want, you can do something better than aliens at any time. The Legion’s more terrifying things, such as exterminating a city..."

Li Xingzhou smiled:

"Nick, there is no need to be so nervous. Since I did not cover up my tracks after creating the blood mist, but openly let you know who did all that, it is enough to prove my attitude."

"Yes, I know you are showing us kindness."

Nick Fury nodded and said:

"But what makes me nervous is that I don't know what you, such a powerful person, want. If a person has a clear goal, even if it is to rule the world, it will not make people feel too scared. But if the goal is unclear, With the ability to subvert the world, it will inevitably make people uneasy. Especially a suspicious old agent like me will always be suspicious. So, Leonardo, can you talk frankly about what you want?"

"What do I want..."

Li Xingzhou leaned back on the sofa, looked at the feasting, handsome men and women in the restaurant, and said slowly in a low tone, like an aria:

"When people are happy and successful, they need to indulge in joy. Don't let your golden wine glass face the moon empty..."

"?" Nick Fury was confused and didn't know why.

Li Xingzhou chuckled:

"That's an ancient Chinese poem. When read in Chinese, it means that if you are happy in life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon. Okay, I show my cards, I am a hedonist."

He winked at Nick Fury:

"Fine wine, beauties, food, fine clothes, music, dance, movies, poetry, literature, luxury cars, yachts... I like all of these and want to enjoy them all. And if you want to enjoy them all, you need to the existence of civilization.

"So, you don't have to worry that one day I will suddenly have a brain attack and destroy the world. This will not do me any good. On the contrary, I hope that the world will become more prosperous and can always produce new and interesting pleasure projects, so that I can always Not boring. ”

Nick Fury couldn't help but ask:

"For a strong man like you, don't you have any lofty ideals?"

"Of course." Li Xingzhou smiled: "Become an immortal and have immortality... In layman's terms, it means becoming a more advanced life form and having eternal life."

"Can mortals really do this kind of thing? I heard that even the gods of Asgard cannot live forever."

"So I say it is an ideal - do you understand the ideal? It may not be achievable, but I am constantly working towards it."

"So, in the process of working towards your ideal, will mortals be the price you pay?"

"Nick, your question is like asking a billionaire, in the process of becoming the world's richest man, will you grab the steel bungee in the begging bowl? Nick, you are insulting me, do you understand? "

"Sorry. I'm just a little worried..."

"I know you won't trust my words. But it doesn't matter." Li Xingzhou smiled slightly and said leisurely: "I don't need to confirm anything to you. It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, it doesn't matter. I. Maybe it’s arrogant to say that, but that’s the truth.”

As a top agent with unfathomable scheming, Nick Fury would certainly not be angry at Li Xingzhou's words that seemed to be contemptuous of him. He also knew that Li Xingzhou's words were a slightly less euphemistic truth.

So he just smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Yes, for a superman like you who can single-handedly defeat an entire alien army, and even counterattack and capture an alien mothership, for people like me, it really doesn't matter whether I trust you or not..."

"Don't say that, Nick, you are still very good. You are a good warrior with a strong will. Even if you are suspicious, black-hearted, cold-hearted, and ruthless, all your starting points are for the safety of the earth and mankind. You will really devote your life to I appreciate the fact that I have devoted all my energy to this career.”

Li Xingzhou comforted him in turn:

"There is an old Chinese saying, a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I can give you a promise: No matter when, I will not become a madman who destroys the earth and mankind. The most taboo thing for a cultivator like me is to lose control. Do you understand? I'm more wary of losing control than you are."

If a cultivator loses control, he or she becomes obsessed.

Even demonic monks fear this the most.

Nick Fury pondered for a while and asked:

"Can I understand that you won't attack mortals easily?"

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly:

"Whoever it is, just stay out of my way. In fact, I haven't killed many people in my life. Well, I haven't killed as many people as the Punisher... Of course, aliens cannot be considered human beings."

"Well, although my paranoia still makes me worried, with your promise, I can at least relax a little bit." Nick Fury said.

"As long as you can relax. In addition, you can prepare to deal with my out-of-control countermeasures. As a professional agent with a heavy responsibility, you will definitely be prepared, right? It doesn't matter, just be prepared as much as you can. , I won’t interfere with you.”

"Your confidence makes me feel bad..."

"I can't help it, I will always be so honest and confident."

"One last question for you - you just said that you hope that the world will continue to prosper and become more prosperous, so that you will never get tired of it... So, if one day, you get tired of playing, what will you do?"

"Of course..." Li Xingzhou looked into Nick Fury's one eye, feeling his nervous and heavy emotions, and said seriously: "Change the world, change the world..."

Nick's dark face turned pale:

"This... can I understand it as the destruction of the world and the reopening of the world?"

"Haha...Look at how nervous you are."

Li Xingzhou smiled and waved his hand:

"Of course not, I'm not that crazy. When I say change the world, you should take it literally."

"Literally?" Nick thought back: "You mean, go to other worlds?"

Li Xingzhou nodded slightly:

"No matter whether my ideal of enlightenment, immortality and immortality can be realized, I think I will never stop chasing novelty. When a world is no longer new and interesting to me, I will naturally look for a new world. "

Nick Fury glanced at Susan, who was chatting with Reed, Banner, and Tony not far away, and whispered:

"As far as I know, you have many lovers... and I also know that you are different from a playboy like Tony. You are very possessive. It doesn't mean you have had sex..."

Li Xingzhou asked with a smile: "What do you want to say?"

"I'm curious if you would abandon them."

"You are too curious." Li Xingzhou shook his head and laughed: "Sorry, this is my privacy, it is impossible to satisfy your curiosity."

"Okay, I made a mistake."

"So, what else do you want to talk about with me?"

"Cosmic Cube..."

"Oh, that's actually the treasure of God King Odin. Odin didn't know what was wrong. He hid the Cosmic Rubik's Cube in an Odin temple on Earth. After a long period of time, it was found by the Nazis during World War II. . The God of Thunder asked me for it, but I ignored it, but you know, Odin is not easy to mess with, so I have to go to the fairy palace in a while to return the Cosmic Cube."

"...Okay, I'll leave the Cosmic Cube to you."

"Are you okay now?"

"It's okay. By the way, I have something for you..."

He took out a stack of notes from his pocket and put it in Li Xingzhou's hand:

"Some female crew members asked me to give it to you. They are too embarrassed to come to you in front of you...well, mainly because they are too embarrassed to be in front of the Invisible Woman."

Li Xingzhou picked up the notes and saw that they contained contact information and even the room numbers of the crew members on the mother ship. He immediately smiled knowingly and put the notes away.

"Then, continue to enjoy your celebration banquet, I won't disturb you."

Nick raised his glass, touched it lightly with Li Xingzhou, and left with a mixed feeling.

After the reception.

Li Xingzhou and Susan went to his single lounge.

"I just heard from the crew that when we were fighting those monsters in the foggy area, New York also encountered an alien invasion? I heard that the battle was very tragic at one time?"

"Yes. New York was invaded by an alien army. Selina and Gwen gathered their Avengers and fought bloody battles with the alien army. Other city heroes also came forward one after another, and the X-Men also Westchester County came to help... Anyway, it was a very fierce battle, and that's what Nick was talking about to me."

"Why did he want to talk to you alone? I heard that the core area of ​​the battle was in Stark Tower. Iron Man was very angry when he learned about it and threatened to ask Nick for an explanation, because under normal circumstances, once Stark Tower is attacked, No matter where he is, Iron Man will receive the warning signal from the Stark Group's corporate satellite immediately, but today he did not receive any warning signal from beginning to end. You know, he did not enter the fog. district."

"Perhaps the foggy area interfered with satellite signals? Although Tony did not enter the foggy area, he is still on the edge of the foggy area. The foggy area is so large that it is still possible to interfere with satellite signals."

"It's possible. But Tony thinks it was Nick Fury who interfered with the signal."

"This is actually understandable. After all, the foggy area is also very dangerous. If it is allowed to expand, it will develop into a major crisis that can affect the whole world. But fortunately, both sides have solved it, right?"

"Well, fortunately both sides have resolved it..."

"So now, it's time for you and me to celebrate."

Li Xingzhou gently hugged Susan into his arms, unzipped her suit, and released the pair of elastic jade balls.

…

Same time, New York, Vought Corporation.

The people of the motherland woke up from the nightmare, feeling dizzy in mind, exhausted in body, and feeling weak as never before.

"How is that possible? How did I become so weak?"

He immediately suspected that Watt Company had done something to him.

After all, he is a superhuman who was cultivated in the laboratory by Vought Company from an early age.

During that long experimental process, he himself did not believe that Watt Company had not prepared any effective countermeasures for him.

However, although he had hidden objections and had long wanted to control Walter Company, he had always carefully disguised his thoughts and never exposed them.

So for no reason, what reason did Walter Company have to attack him, the company's number one?

"Damn, what the hell is going on?"

The motherland man raised his hand and touched his forehead, only to feel that his touch was hot, and he was actually running a high fever.

"That's ridiculous, how could I possibly be sick?"

He felt a little panicked, so he got up and out of bed with difficulty, and dragged his heavy steps to the bathroom. Just as he was about to turn on the faucet, he was startled by his reflection in the mirror.

I saw the motherland man in the mirror, whose original pure blond hair had turned into mottled hair, with countless white hairs mixed in among the blond hair. Especially the temples, which seem to have all turned into white hair.

Moreover, there are many more knife-like wrinkles on his forehead, and his cheeks are thin and sunken, making him look like he is dozens of years older.

"how so?"

The people of the motherland stared at themselves in the mirror with wide eyes and disbelief, with horrified expressions and fearful eyes.

At this moment, the reflection of the motherland in the mirror suddenly smiled strangely:

"Poor people of the motherland, don't you understand? Someone has killed you..."

The reflection in the mirror suddenly spoke with a sly smile. In this situation, a normal person's first reaction would be to be frightened and think he had hit a ghost.

The man from the motherland was no exception, but as soon as he showed a look of horror, he was attracted by the light blooming in the eyes of his own reflection in the mirror. The horror on his face gradually dissipated, and his eyes became trance-like.

Afterwards, he looked at his reflection in the mirror calmly and asked:

"Who made me become like this?"

Azu's current expression and tone seem to be used to this weird reflection, or he has begun to subconsciously ignore the unreasonableness of "reflection talking"——

If Loki saw the people from his homeland now, he would find that their symptoms were exactly the same as his before.

"The person who harmed you is..."

Before he finished speaking, a bloody palm suddenly appeared from behind the reflection's head in the mirror, covered the reflection's mouth, and then dragged it deep into the mirror.

"?"

Looking at the reflection in the mirror with surprised eyes and horrified face, who stretched out his hands in panic as if asking for help, but was still dragged away by the bloody palms, the motherland blinked, and his eyes were dazed for a while.

When he regained consciousness, he had forgotten what happened before. He only looked at his reflection in the mirror with a horrified expression and exclaimed:

"WTF? Why have I aged like this?"

Well, the poor people of the motherland were mercilessly burned by Li Xingzhou with a massive amount of vitality to activate a sea of ​​​​blood formation that could cover the entire Manhattan. The price was...

The people of the motherland are old.

But that's not the most serious problem.

Just when the people of the motherland were shocked by his old age and panicked, his door was banged open, and his assistant Ashley rushed in and said in shock:

"People of the motherland, something big has happened! Aliens invaded New York. Many superheroes rose up to fight and save the citizens, but none of our heroes from Vought Company showed up... Now the company phone is about to be called, and the company website and you Your personal website has also been exploded, and everyone is asking you where you were when the incident happened! Tens of thousands of people have left messages wanting to lose their followers!”

When the people of the motherland heard this, they were spinning for a while and almost fainted.

However, after catching a glimpse of his own reflection in the mirror, the brains of the people of the motherland, which are usually not easy to use, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a perfect excuse.

"Ashley, haven't you seen what I look like now? Do you know why I am like this?"

snapped the native.

Only then did Ashley realize that the people of her motherland were getting older, and her face turned pale with shock:

"You...why are you so old? What happened?"

"Yeah, why am I so old?" Azu shouted loudly: "Is it possible that this matter has anything to do with alien invasion? Tell me, is it possible?"

Ashley is indeed a veteran publicist who is good at publicity and planning. She quickly heard the implication of Azu's words. Her mind raced and she quickly came up with an idea:

"Yes, it's all because of the aliens that you are like this! The aliens know that you are the most powerful superhero in the United States. As long as you exist, their invasion is doomed to fail. So before they invade New York on a large scale Before, the aliens secretly sent an advance team to poison you with some kind of... Yes, they used a special alien poison to poison you and imprison you."

"No, I can't be poisoned and imprisoned!"

The people of the motherland said categorically:

"They used a 'virus' on me, which is a..."

The people of the motherland suddenly had inspiration in their minds:

"That's a virus that can control other people's minds! The aliens gave me this virus in an attempt to turn me into their puppet and make me fight for them. But I used my iron will to withstand the virus's influence Corrosion, even at the cost of burning lives, actively activated the immune factor storm, and completely eliminated the mind-controlling virus at the cost of aging for decades overnight!

"Then I killed the alien advance team and destroyed all their viruses, thwarting their conspiracy to spread the virus and control other superheroes..."

Ashley's eyes lit up, she pointed at the people of her motherland and said:

"Yes, that's it! If you hadn't fought bravely in an unknown corner, the superheroes in New York would have all fallen and become puppets controlled by aliens..."

"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and write the draft! Also, find some alien corpses...what? All the corpses disappeared? Devoured by a terrifying blood shadow? I don't care what you use The method is to create a scene for me to have a big battle... I will go to that scene later... Also, find the best makeup artist, my current appearance is not miserable enough..."

In order to regain his popularity and face doubts, Azu decisively started to save himself.

For him, even aging for decades is not as scary as fans losing followers and support rates declining.

…

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since the Battle of Manhattan.

In early November, there was an election for mayor of New York.

Kingpin, who bravely fought against aliens and saved citizens in the Battle of Manhattan, was elected with a high vote.

The first thing Kingpin did after being elected was to comply with public opinion and sign a bill submitted by the City Council, officially declaring it legal to smoke leaf cigarettes in public smoking areas - before this, although New York State had passed the law on possessing tobacco, , smoking, purchasing and transporting leaf cigarettes under 25 grams are legal, but they are still not allowed to be smoked in public places.

And now, in response to the strong demands of New York citizens and serving the citizens wholeheartedly, Mayor Jin Bin has passed this bill legalizing leaf cigarette smoking in public smoking areas, which represents another step forward for the city on the road of democracy and freedom. This is a solid step, and the air in New York will become sweeter in the future.

Of course, there are also a handful of die-hards who bitterly criticize this law.

For example, a wealthy businessman who likes to wear red ties and beauties with blond hair and long legs denounced this kind of law as destroying the future of beautiful people.

Kingpin, however, refuted these fallacies with fair reasons:

The citizens demand it. As a mayor elected by the citizens, of course I must respect the opinions of the majority. What are the intentions of this small group of you? Do you want to destroy America's democratic tradition?

Besides, New York just experienced an alien invasion not long ago. So many people died in this incident. The living people have to find ways to heal their mental pain and forget the fear of alien invasion, right?

Is there anything more relaxing than a leaf cigarette?

If it's not enough, get another one.

Teenagers are mentally more fragile and suffered more serious mental injuries in this attack, especially those who have loved ones injured or even killed. What methods can they use to relieve their mental pain?

The federal law stipulates that it is illegal for teenagers under the age of 21 to drink alcohol anywhere!

Law-abiding teenagers cannot numb themselves with alcohol, so can they only smoke leaf cigarettes?

This is for the physical and mental health of New York’s youth!

In short, New York has become the only one in the United States.

In addition, Kingpin also passed a large amount of municipal funding to invest in the post-war reconstruction of New York City - although SHIELD negotiated with Asgard on behalf of Thor, the post-war reconstruction costs will be borne by Asgard alone, but New York has plenty of money , why can't we take advantage of this opportunity to invest more money, do a better job in reconstruction, and update the city appearance to be more beautiful and generous?

As the world's leading international metropolis, the most dazzling ray of light on the top of the lighthouse, the luxurious public toilets that cost millions of dollars should be renovated more, right? Tourists from all over the world and immigrants who admire the beauty and glory should feel the dignity of New York, right?

The New York subway has a history of more than 100 years. Jin Bing has to start a few fires as a new official. He must invest hundreds of millions to renovate it, right?

Although hundreds of millions are a little less, it is barely enough to install some iron fences, waiting seats and isolation facilities.

There are also green belts beside the road. The money paid by the Fairy Palace is barely enough to renovate it, but it is far from enough to upgrade it. The New York City government must also invest more money to upgrade and beautify it...

As for the contracting of various reconstruction projects and the supply of building materials, of course, it must be the companies under Jin Bing and his allies and partners.

As a mayor who is responsible for the voters, Jin Bing is not at ease to transfer money to unfamiliar people.

Who knows if those greedy guys will be corrupt?

It is more reliable to do things with your own people.

As Jin Bing's close ally and partner...

Yes, although Li Xingzhou has not changed jobs yet, with his current connections, influence, and strength, Jin Bing, who looks rough but is extremely shrewd, has long stopped treating him as a younger brother, but as a close partner and ally.

You know, Jin Bing was able to successfully be elected mayor, and Li Xingzhou's connections in the judicial community helped a lot.

So Li Xingzhou naturally got a big piece of the pie.

For example, he was responsible for supplying luxury public toilets that cost millions of dollars per room.

Li Xingzhou directly placed an order with a mysterious oriental country at a conscience price of 20,000 dollars per room.

There are also upgrades to the New York subway, reconstruction and upgrades of public facilities such as roads, bridges, and green belts, and even some real estate projects. Li Xingzhou's construction company also got a big piece of the pie.

Since the money has already started to flow in, and the money earned is too much to count, Li Xingzhou's MASA company has also begun to expand naturally.

Because the superhumans of Vought did not perform well during the alien invasion, Homelander never participated in the battle, Vought's reputation plummeted, and its stock price plummeted like a high diving platform.

Although Azu used a series of magical operations to quickly restore his personal image and his support rate rose instead of falling, Vought was still widely questioned - someone took a picture of Queen Maeve fighting with superheroes.

Even though Homelander tried hard to prove that it was because she was infected with the alien mind control virus and was not colluding with aliens, Vought was still greatly affected.

Fortunately, Xuanse and Locomotive had not officially debuted at the time and were not known to the public, otherwise the impact would be even more serious.

Li Xingzhou took the opportunity to acquire a lot of Vought shares before Vought's stock price rebounded and successfully entered the board of directors.

The reason why the acquisition was so smooth was, of course, because of Azu's strong support.

Now Azu has completely become a puppet of Li Xingzhou.

Although he did not wipe out A-Zu's consciousness, A-Zu now spends most of his time like sleepwalking. The Blood Sea Demon Lord secretly controls A-Zu's body and imprisons the "old ghost from another world" who abandoned Loki and possessed A-Zu.

As for the identity and origin of the old ghost from another world, Li Xingzhou is slowly exploring while depriving and devouring his power, and has already got some clues.

...

It was another morning.

Li Xingzhou woke up on his big bed at home, moved away the pink legs and jade arms wrapped around him, and just as he was about to get up and get out of bed, a pair of slender jade legs wrapped around his legs again, and at the same time, a pair of slender arms also hugged the back of his head and pressed his face to his chest.

Polaris hugged the back of Li Xingzhou's head with both hands, closed her eyes and murmured:

"It's a little swollen, help me..."

Li Xingzhou shook his head helplessly and helped her solve the problem.

At the same time, the other hand also hugged Selena's silky and cool body on the other side.

After a hearty morning exercise.

Li Xingzhou went to the balcony with vigor and radiance, facing the rising sun, breathing in and out the purple qi of the rising sun.

After completing this morning's routine training.

Li Xingzhou made a seal with his hands, and a spiritual light rushed out of his fontanelle, and landed on the ground and turned into a tall figure.

This figure was dressed in black, and his body shape, eyebrows, eyes and facial features were exactly the same as Li Xingzhou's.

But his eyes were like lightning, and his aura was sharp and cold. He was far from being as approachable as Li Xingzhou. Instead, he exuded an aura that kept strangers away, like a divine sword that would cut anyone who got a little closer.

This black-clothed figure was the second primordial spirit condensed by Li Xingzhou.

It has been more than a month since the war.

Li Xingzhou has completely refined the vitality of the Chitauri and the power of Loki that he swallowed. With his cultivation level soaring, he not only refined two more arms to the "three heads and six arms", completing the "six arms", but also practiced the two prerequisite magical powers of "ever-changing, big and small as you wish".

The second soul image was also condensed.

This second soul image is called "Heaven Sword Master".

Li Xingzhou once got the innate sword bone and unparalleled sword spirit of an old enemy.

Although these two bone characteristics were not brought to the next life because he died in the heavenly calamity, his soul was also deeply influenced by the two and possessed the supreme sword talent.

So when condensing the second soul image, Li Xingzhou chose this sword talent as the bone, supplemented by his nine lifetimes of sword attainments, to condense this "Heaven Sword Master".

And the sword that Li Xingzhou prepared for the Heaven Sword Master was Loki's rapier.

This sword has many characteristics such as extreme sharpness, flashing in the void, weakness, paralysis, tearing, bleeding, etc., and has super elemental energy conduction performance. In the hands of Tianjian Zhenjun who specializes in swordsmanship, it will exert more powerful power than Loki.

In addition, the "Second Generation Thousand Machine Umbrella" that can be transformed into a variety of weapons and launch umbrella bones to form a sword formation will also be handed over to Tianjian Zhenjun for use.

After practicing the Yuanshen Dharma for a while, Li Xingzhou sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, his consciousness was projected into A Zu's mind, and he came to the mental illusion created by the Blood Sea Demon Lord.

This is the prison of the "old ghost from another world".
