The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Not just frost giants, but also fire monsters, undead, elves, and even angels.

It was a veritable mishmash of fantasy creatures; those mythical and fairytale beings all popped up at once and began attacking humanity.

Thanks to the warning from S.H.I.E.L.D., the reactions of various countries were swift, but they still faced enemies randomly appearing in downtown areas, so even the fastest response was a bit slow.

Moreover, ordinary soldiers were no match for these fantastical armies. Leaving aside the undead and elves wielding cold weapons, why were angels piloting robots?

This overwhelming combat power led to the human side being pushed back all the way, forced to retreat and only managed to gain a slight advantage after retreating to hastily established positions, barely holding off the enemy's attack with heavy firepower.

But everyone knew this was only temporary. These fantasy creatures didn't seem to have any intention of exterminating them all, acting like they were acting according to a plan, eliminating only a small batch at a time, and no one knew what they were thinking.

However, such treatment, akin to slaughtering pigs and cattle, made the surviving humans even more fearful. At this rate, some might suffer a mental breakdown.

The governments of various countries were also suffering, because they couldn't use weapons of mass destruction in downtown areas. These monsters were clever, always maintaining a safe distance from the crowds while chasing.

If weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear bombs, were used, no one knew if these monsters would die, but humans would definitely die first.

Moreover, the governments of some countries were the first to be attacked, and their entire national systems were directly paralyzed, unable to even organize a decent counterattack.

Coupled with the still-rampaging Worthy, the entire Earth was plunged into deeper fear, such as the current situation in the United States.

"The United States has now completely fallen," Zheng Xian said, having summoned Ji Shuangshuang and Acheng, but not Lin Lie, because the latter's Fuxi Sword was broken and he was no longer a combat asset.

Without the Fuxi Sword, Lin Lie was not even as good as an ordinary S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, because the former knew what the agents knew, but Lin Lie didn't necessarily know what the agents knew.

"How could it be?" Acheng widened his eyes. That was the United States, a superpower. How could it fall so silently?

"Because now ruling there is a new Worthy," Zheng Xian pressed a button, and a picture immediately appeared on the screen behind him.

It showed a person wearing black and gold armor, wielding a hammer that didn't match his high-tech battle suit at all. Behind him were dense ranks of robots, each robot's eye camera glowing with a scarlet light.

One or two would be fine, but this dense swarm, like locusts, was indeed very oppressive.

"Those are... Sentinel robots?" Ji Shuangshuang recognized the dense ranks of robots. "So, the person wearing the battle suit is..."

"Howard Stark," Zheng Xian said solemnly. "Previously, Hyperion of the Supreme Squadron stirred up a craze for superhuman registration in the United States. Those Sentinel robots responsible for identifying and capturing superhumans were all manufactured by Stark Industries."

"As the helmsman of Stark Industries, and someone who personally participated in the design of the Sentinel robots, Howard naturally possesses the ability to tamper with all Sentinel robots. After he was controlled by the hammer, the entire Sentinel robot corps naturally became his soldiers."

Acheng couldn't help but shudder. An army of robots that were fearless and only knew how to execute orders was terrifying just to think about.

"If those Sentinel robots were equipped with Hammer Industries' knockoffs, that would be great."

Acheng's fantasy was supported by everyone present. Everyone knew that the weapons produced by Hammer Industries were not good. Their best products were imitations of Stark Industries' designs.

But fantasy was just fantasy, and they ultimately had to face reality.

"It's not just these Sentinel robots," Zheng Xian sighed. "Stark Industries has many subsidiaries, some of which also make technology products. Anything that's connected to the internet will be controlled by Howard."

"Howard Stark, he relied on the power of technology to control an entire country, and some surrounding countries that use Stark Industries' products are also affected. Fortunately, our country has always been developing its own strength, otherwise it might have become one of them."

Everyone present was extremely grateful at this moment. The things used by ordinary people were another matter, but they had always insisted on using their own things for national security, and if they couldn't use their own, they would increase their efforts to research and replace them with their own.

This strategy allowed them to avoid a huge crisis at this time.

"Now, the thing the higher-ups fear most is whether Howard will launch nuclear weapons around the world under the control of the hammer," Zheng Xian said in a deep voice.

"At that time, all living things on Earth will die. To this end, the higher-ups have decided to send a small team to resolve this crisis."

At this point, Ji Shuangshuang and Acheng understood. Now that other superhumans had been sent out, the only team that could take on this important task was them.

Faced with this mission, which could almost be described as a one-in-ten-thousand chance of survival, Ji Shuangshuang and Acheng only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. They had already prepared themselves after joining S.H.I.E.L.D. with the Three Sovereigns' artifacts.

The reason for their hesitation was that these missions lacked the Fuxi Sword, making them unsure whether they could successfully complete the mission. After all, failing the mission would be like alerting the snake.

It would be fine if they sacrificed themselves, but it would be bad if they aroused Howard's killing intent and caused him to launch nuclear weapons.

"Don't worry, a S.H.I.E.L.D. special agent team will assist you," Zheng Xian saw the two's concerns. "I have also contacted Franklin and the others, and they will also send superhumans to help you."

"This is the contact information for the leader on the other side," Zheng Xian handed a small communication device to Ji Shuangshuang. "The other party's name is Reed Richards."

"That famous scholar?" Ji Shuangshuang looked at Zheng Xian in surprise. "I remember he died in the recent New York incident, didn't he? All the major news outlets reported it."

"Obviously not," Zheng Xian's expression was strange. "We've all been deceived by Western journalism."

After all, the New York ruins were completely inaccessible, so even S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't know what it looked like inside. Who would have thought that there was a superhuman team inside?

It was truly ironic that a fallen country was now going to be saved by a group of people abandoned by the masses. If this were placed in mythology, it would definitely be a famous epic biography.
