Overwatch invades American comics

Chapter 11 Judgment Day

Coulson was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.

A few days ago, when he was on a mission, he happened to pass by that bank, but the robbers had already escaped by then. He saw a figure rushing out of the bank at a very fast speed, far beyond that of an ordinary person.

He knew that this was definitely not an ordinary person, perhaps a gifted person with special abilities.

The police arrived soon, and after investigation Coulson learned that it was the mysterious man who repelled the robbers and rescued all the hostages, which caught his attention.

Through the authority of S.H.I.E.L.D., he retrieved surveillance footage and finally uncovered the true identity of the mysterious man.

The purpose of SHIELD is to protect the world and prevent such things from happening. Once they encounter such things, they must first confirm the threat level and whether the target is dangerous.

If it's not dangerous, it's fine, but once they confirm that the target is dangerous, they will report it to their superiors, and then...

I'm sorry, but you will be eliminated without anyone noticing, or imprisoned forever.

Coulson's observations over the past few days have made him realize that his target does not seem to be that dangerous. William's job is to deliver food every day, day after day, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But William must have his own secret, otherwise he would not have deliberately avoided him.

Coulson tried his best to look friendly, hoping that the other party would cooperate. His task was only to record the abilities of these psychics, and then remind them not to use their abilities casually and to learn to keep a low profile.

But what about the future two hundred years from now? !

He never expected William to say such a thing!

"William Lister, male, 20 years old, was born in Brooklyn, New York City, USA in 1988. When he was 5, his mother died of illness. When he was 16, his father was imprisoned for beating someone to death in a bar. He has a 17-year-old brother who is studying in another city. He works as a deliveryman at Jonathan's fast food restaurant on First Street in Brooklyn..."

"Haha." Before Coulson finished reading his information, William suddenly sneered, "Aren't you an agent of the Strategic Security Bureau? Don't you know that information can be falsified?"

"It's the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency." Coulson corrected himself subconsciously. Yes, if this person really wanted to hide his secrets, these materials should be forged. Maybe his name is not William, and he doesn't have a brother.

But now, he still couldn't believe that this person had traveled from the future.

"Since your current identity is fake. What is your real identity?" Coulson became alert. He thought his target was not dangerous at first, but now it is different. An unknown target will be very dangerous.

"I'm an agent from Overwatch." William's words surprised Coulson. Is there such a rookie agent?!

Perhaps, his abilities are so strong that even he himself cannot tell when he is in disguise?

"It's normal that you haven't heard of our name, because Overwatch is the organization of the future." William had guessed what Coulson was thinking. He showed him the Overwatch logo on the back of his hand, "This is the logo of our organization."

"Why does it feel like a butt?" Coulson couldn't help but complain.

He pinched his brows with his hands. What was going on now? Shouldn't he be on his own tonight, teaching the other party to behave properly? Why was the situation reversed now?
Moreover, he had never seen this logo before. Could it really be an organization from the future, or a terrorist organization that he didn't know about?
"Since you come from the future, why do you want to go back to the past? What is your purpose?" Coulson asked tentatively.

"It's simple, because my future... is destroyed!"

But William's answer surprised Coulson, "Destroyed? Destroyed by... by whom?" "By ourselves."

William stared at the water in the glass, seemingly lost in painful memories. "In the distant future, technology is advanced, and humans have designed intelligent machines created by artificial intelligence, which are intended to enhance production and create world economic prosperity. It was an extremely advanced era, and humans and machines coexisted peacefully. But disaster soon occurred..."

Coulson swallowed softly. If the other party was making up a story, it would be a wonderful one.

"Artificial intelligence has betrayed us." William said indignantly, "They continue to learn human knowledge, and their thoughts are beginning to become evil and terrifying. They want to destroy us, destroy all humans, and dominate the entire world!"

"Governments around the world failed to stop the robot army's attack and fell one after another. In order to fight against the terrifying artificial intelligence, the United Nations created an international peacekeeping organization, which is us, Overwatch."

“Overwatch brought together heroes and warriors from all over the world to fight against the robot army. From Oasis City to Numbani, from Gibraltar to King’s Row, many agents died, but we did not stop resisting. The flames of war swept across the world, and we finally saw the dawn of victory!”

Coulson had heard of some of these place names, but not others. He could never have imagined that these names from William's mouth were all Overwatch game maps. It was precisely because of William's familiarity with the game that he could make them up so passionately.

"What was the final result? Did you win?" Coulson asked in a low voice.

"No, we failed." William lowered his head, looking a little depressed. "We lost completely. At the end of the war, artificial intelligence launched a devastating attack on us. We called that day the Day of Judgment!"

"Judgment Day?" Coulson looked surprised.

"Just like what is recorded in the Bible, this is a day that determines the fate of mankind. Artificial intelligence launched a nuclear strike against the world. Tens of thousands of nuclear bombs flew into the sky. The terrifying mushroom cloud covered the sky. The fruits of human civilization for thousands of years were wiped out in an instant. Our future was destroyed..."

Coulson was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

He never dreamed that the story William told was actually a fusion of the worldviews of Overwatch and Terminator. It was because he had played the Overwatch game and watched the Terminator movie that he could make up such a story.

The mixture of truth and falsehood made Coulson confused.

Coulson didn't know what to say, so he patted William on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, I still can't believe what you said. But you stood up when the robbers robbed the bank, which shows that you are a good person. There are not many good people in today's society. I hope you can always be yourself."

William nodded and said, "Thank you, Agent Coulson. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Although I don't know what your ability is, it's not important anymore." Coulson said with a serious expression: "But I hope you can be more low-key in the future. After all, it is definitely not a good thing for the world to know your ability."

William stood up, smiled, extended his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Agent Phil Coulson."

"Me too, Mr. William Lister." Coulson shook hands with him.

"Then my mission is accomplished. We will meet again someday."

Coulson's goal had been achieved. He knew that he would not get anything else if he continued to ask. Just as he was about to leave, William suddenly stopped him and said, "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you."

"Is there anything else?" Coulson's heart skipped a beat, wondering if this guy was up to something again.
