The Death Knell

At the same time, another place on Earth 616.

After Namor left, the Illuminati did not disband immediately. On the contrary, these smart people never stopped, so much so that the battle in space beyond the gods and the destruction of another earth by Thanos and others were all seen as In eyes.

The location where everyone is at this time is the most secret place in Wakanda, called the 'Mausoleum'. Kings who died in the past will be buried here. It is said that from here you can enter the kingdom of the Leopard God.

Well, to put it bluntly, it is a cave with two huge stone leopard statues guarding the door. Because it is a forbidden area, only the black panther and his sister Su Rui can come in here. T'Challa has set up a very advanced laboratory here. , while serving as one of the Illuminati's backup safe houses.

"Namor betrayed us. He went to Latvinia and then acted with Thanos." Doctor Strange stood up and said goodbye to everyone: "I need to leave for a while to make some preparations."

Doctor Strange has always felt something was wrong, because he used the time stone to see the timeline, and the end of time should have happened five years later.

In that case, his plan to form a religious order can be implemented slowly.

But now, things were so far in advance that it seemed like everyone except Doom was caught off guard.

"Don't go, it's too late." Reed stopped him, his arms wrapped around the doctor's waist like a rubber band: "Although I don't agree with Doom's inhumane approach, the dead can no longer be resurrected. We The plan must be re-formulated based on the current reality. It has to be said that instead of thinking about how to prevent the Earth from colliding, we should think about the escape route before the collision.”

"Are you talking about your escape plan again?" Iron Man shook his head. He knew that plan: "It's best not to say it again. It will only make people unhappy. You are so arrogant that you are almost crazy."

Reed has been secretly building a spaceship, a spaceship that can travel through the multiverse and can accommodate about five thousand people. He calls it 'Noah's Ark'.

How to put it, Mr. Fantastic has been in a kind of intellectual madness. He knows that he is not God and cannot stop the great flood that destroys the world.

But he thought he could be Noah and decide who lives on Earth.

He made a list for reference to everyone in the Illuminati. They were world-famous scientists and some powerful warriors, which was the final list of survivors.

Reed believes that if the earth is destroyed and everyone will wander in the void, they must maintain absolute rationality and block all emotional factors.

But Tony doesn't see it that way. Iron Man thinks of himself as a human being, and Reed is not.

Because only the chosen ones, their relatives, friends, spouses and children were on that list, all of them were not included in the carrying range, because Reed believed that they had "no value" and could not board his ark.

Yes, it's like this madman only has cold reason in his mind. Now this hypocritical humanity is all disguised. Maybe he actually supports Thanos and stays here just to obtain information.

"Am I arrogant? Oh, dear Tony, who on earth can be more arrogant than you?" Reed shook his head. He had a long beard and a strand of white hair on his temples: "If you weren't If you are so arrogant, you should be willing to leave with me and help me rebuild the home of mankind one day in the future."

"Don't even think about it, madman, tell you, if I can't take Happy and Pepper on the boat, then I'd rather not."

Iron Man just snorted and stopped talking.

At this time, the good old man Charles also had something to say. He looked at Reed and smiled and said: "Yes, Reed, there are only me and the Beast on your list, but I can't leave my students to survive alone. Can you think about it again?" Think of ways to?"

"Why are you still thinking about it? The destruction of the earth is almost certain. We are going to escape into the void. Reality does not allow us to bring any useless waste with us." Reed was very puzzled. He felt that no one could understand his thoughts. .

It's like they didn't even have food to eat on the way to escape, but people insisted on drinking honey water.

Shouldn't everyone overcome the difficulties and work hard together after escaping? Do you still want to enjoy it? Still looking for psychological comfort?

"Speaking of that list, I have always been confused about what the criteria for selection are?" Black Panther crossed his arms and joined the conversation. Under the lighting like daylight in the cave, he walked up and down the smooth metal floor, The soles of my feet rubbed against the floor and made a squeaking sound.

Reed stretched out his arms to take a chair and sat down. Looking up at the big screen, Reid immediately answered:

"I have been nominated for the Nobel Prize, published more than ten creative scientific papers, and have more than four doctorates. Either, I am a controllable Omega-level mutant, a cosmic-level superhero. We must consider the future and try our best to To optimize human seeds, so that when this great flood passes, a second human civilization can be created in the New World.”

As if thinking of the wonderful future, Reid smiled after answering.

Su Rui shook her head. She grabbed her brother to stop him from walking around and making people upset, and said, "But what about other people? I don't think scientists or superheroes are superior to others. Personality is not The amount of power you possess can represent it.”

"I never said that we are superior to others, but from the perspective of human civilization, we must preserve the crystallization of wisdom and strength as much as possible."

Reed, who looked old, sighed, spread his hands to show his innocence, and said quickly:

"I also know that there are many ordinary people who are good people. If I had a choice, I would not give up on them. But do we have a choice now? Doctor Strange told us that the end of time will be five years later. If I hadn't kept one more Mind's eye, let Valeria take charge of the construction project of the spacecraft in advance. We can't even escape with five hundred people now! In addition, doctor, you have a position. Although your hands are disabled, the ship still needs the experience of a neurosurgeon. "

Staranqi closed his eyes expressionlessly, sat on the chair holding the seal with his hands:

"I will not leave. There is no king's name on the list, no Klee, no Master Monaco and my friends. As the Supreme Mage, I will guard this earth with all the mages until the last second, until the return. The embrace of Emperor Weishan."

After hearing this, Reed thought for a moment, shrugged and looked at Iron Man:

"Well, it's your loss. Tony, Strange abstained from voting. Now we have an extra spot. How many doctorates does your secretary have? Maybe I can relax some of the standards appropriately?"

But Tony just smiled and raised a steel middle finger at him:

"Leave that damn spot to those who want it, and give my vote to others. By the way, just asking, how many doctorates does Susan have? Is she a universe-level superhero? Why can she be on the list? What's that 'Mr. Noah' number? Also, the Human Torch shouldn't be qualified, right?"

Mr. Fantastic scratched his head, looking even more puzzled, and asked doubtfully:

"She has a Ph.D. in physics, and she can't leave the atmosphere physically, but I need her. Without her, who will take care of my two children? As for Johnny, he is the uncle of the children. Do you want to let her go?" Will my child grow up without his uncle? Do you still have any compassion at all?"

Mustache Tony was so angry that he laughed. He shook his head mockingly and looked at the professor and Black Bolt:

"It's me who's wrong when discussing standards with this guy. Let's think about how to prevent the earth from colliding."
