Overwatch invades American comics

Chapter 12 Virtual Training Ground

"It's nothing, actually." William shrugged. "I just have a suggestion. From now on, you can call S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Why is it called this name?" Coulson breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because in the not too distant future..." William stared into his eyes and said, "A man carrying a shield will become your spiritual leader."

Coulson couldn't help but be stunned, because William's words reminded him of a person, a hero, an eternal legend.

"Impossible, he's dead." Coulson shook his head sadly, then said goodbye to William and left the apartment.

Finally seeing Coulson off, William hurried home, locked the door, and leaned against it to let out a sigh. It was not easy, he was finally fooled.

These days, he racked his brains to think of a way to fool Coulson. To tell the truth was definitely impossible, so he could only make up a story. But the key point was, what kind of story should he make up?

After thinking for a while, he decided to use the worldview of Overwatch and Terminator to fictionalize a grand future world.

It was when he was thinking about it that he realized that the settings of Overwatch and Terminator are very similar. Both have powerful artificial intelligence and terrifying robot armies. It is precisely because of this that when these two worlds are combined, artistic sparks are produced.

Overwatch and T800, Omnic Crisis and Skynet, Coulson would definitely be surprised if he knew the truth.

In short, people have been fooled by him, and no matter whether they believe it or not, his goal has been achieved.

To be honest, SHIELD doesn't care much about what your abilities are, but rather whether you are dangerous. If you prove that you are a capable and non-dangerous person, SHIELD may actively recruit you.

William felt that his acting skills had exploded in the past two days and he was worthy of a little golden man. He should receive flowers and applause. He was thinking too much.

Coulson probably couldn't tell whether he believed it or not. It was hard to tell the truth from the false. Maybe he would investigate things related to Overwatch in the future. Let him do it.

If William didn't tell, it would remain a mystery forever.

Unexpectedly, William was targeted by SHIELD as soon as he came to the Marvel world. Fortunately, he barely resolved the crisis. SHIELD should not trouble him in the short term.

Unless he disobeys Coulson and blatantly turns into Soldier 76 again, by that time, it would be impossible to explain himself.

The Overwatch system gave him powerful abilities, but also brought risks. It felt great to be Soldier 76, but after the transformation, he was actually scared. Was he too impulsive? What if he got hurt?
In fact, William also discovered the problem, which was his proficiency in heroes.

In the Overwatch game, players' mastery of each hero is reflected in the data of game time. The longer you play a hero, the stronger your control over it will be, and of course the better you will play it.

The first time William transformed into Soldier 76, he found that his shooting accuracy was very low, otherwise, the two robbers would never have escaped. In the real world, he had a limited time to transform, which meant that he didn't have much time to practice being a hero.

"Athena, is there any way for me to practice my hero abilities?"

“Entering the virtual training ground.”

Just as William called Athena, the Overwatch logo on the back of his hand lit up, and mosaic-like light spots gathered and combined in front of him, and in a blink of an eye he came to a mysterious space.

The scene in front of me looks like a huge base, and the Overwatch logo can be seen everywhere in the base.

There are dozens of big-headed robots in the square, some of them standing still, and some moving around. These robots are divided into two colors, red and blue, and they keep attacking each other.

William looked around curiously. The facilities and buildings here seemed familiar. He knew that this was definitely not his first time to come to such a place.

"Athena, what is this place?" William asked.

"The virtual training ground is the training and learning space for the Overwatch system. Here, you can transform into any unlocked hero at will, without energy or time limits..." Athena answered patiently. No wonder he felt familiar with it, because there is such a place in the game for players to train, but the robots in the virtual training ground have no health points.

"Side quest begins!"

"Side quest: Robot Terminator: Destroy training robot X200."

Unexpectedly, destroying the training robot was actually a side quest. In this way, he had encountered both the hidden quest and the side quest, but the main quest had not yet started. "Athena? When do we start the main quest?"

"When your level reaches level 1, the main quest will be automatically unlocked."

"Okay, I got it. Get ready for Soldier 76 to transform!"

In Brooklyn at night, a red convertible was speeding on the road. Coulson was driving absent-mindedly and didn't even notice that he ran a red light.

This can't be blamed on him, because he has experienced such a weird thing. The idea of ​​SHIELD is to build a line of defense between the world and the weirder world. Today, Coulson encountered a very weird thing.

There is a man who claims to be from the future. In the distant future, the world is ruled by artificial intelligence, and the horrific day of judgment destroys the entire human civilization...

This kind of story is even more ridiculous than novels and movies. Time travel is not that simple. It is obviously a fabricated story.

As soon as Coulson left the house, he felt that he had been cheated, and William must have been deliberately fooling him. But soon, he found something wrong.

If William wanted to stop getting into trouble, he could just tell him about his ability. He was just doing his job and giving him some simple instructions. Why did he have to go to all that trouble and create such a grand story?

Coulson has been thinking about this question, recalling the story about Overwatch and Judgment Day. If this story is true, either the storyteller is crazy or the listener is crazy.

Unconsciously, he began to doubt William's words. Maybe in the future, there really is an organization called Overwatch...

Just as he was daydreaming, the car communicator rang and turned into a video call window. The video call was very dark, and the outline of a person could be vaguely seen.

I couldn't see his face clearly as it was hidden in the darkness. Maybe he was just dark.

"Agent Coulson, how is the mission going?" asked the mysterious man.

"Sir." Coulson suddenly came back to his senses, "I have successfully contacted the target."

"Did you find anything unusual?"

Hearing this question, Coulson was silent. He didn't know whether he should report this matter or not, because he thought that guy was simply a psychopath. He hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell the story for now. It would be a waste of the superior's time. Anyway, that guy didn't cause any trouble, so he could slowly ask him when he had the chance.

"Sir, the signal was bad just now." Coulson replied: "Everything is normal, he is just an ordinary esper."

"Very good." The mysterious man said, "I need you to return to headquarters as soon as possible. I have a mission for you."

"By the way, I have a new idea about the name of the organization." Coulson shamelessly claimed William's suggestion as his own. "The name of the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency is too long. Why not put their initials together?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D., what do you think?"
