The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 382 Illuminati

Wanda stared blankly at Steve, who was heartbroken but still resolute and unrepentant. Then she looked behind him, who had lost her smile and was also in tears, but she forced herself to cover her mouth to prevent her crying from affecting the decision of her lover. Peggy Carter, who was crying silently, took a deep breath and stammered:
"Won't you look back at your wife again?"

Steve raised his head slightly, looked at the distant sky behind Wanda, and shook his head slowly. He didn't say a word, but seemed to have made everything very clear.

Wanda understood and nodded with emotion, "No wonder Pietro regards you as his idol. He didn't trust the wrong person."

"Okay, you win. My attitude towards the Avengers has changed now." She turned her head to look at the projection of Tony from another world next to her.

Tony from another world nodded to Steve and continued to introduce his plan.

"We will rebuild a superhero organization, put an end to the chaos in Europe, and return Europe to its past state of peace and security. Even without the Reality Stone, Sokovia can still live in a peaceful environment."

"When the time comes, I hope you will be able to see our sincerity and hand over the Reality Gem to us."

"how?"

"I refuse!" Although Wanda now believes in the character of the Avengers, she did not even hesitate when it came to handing over the Reality Stone, and immediately rejected Tony's proposal from the alien world.

"Even if you can wipe out all the dark creatures in Europe, so what?"

"Is there no other danger in this world?"

"Next time I encounter another danger, will you let me surrender?"

Tony from another world patiently explained:

"From now on, a new superhero organization will be responsible for the safety of the earth. If any super criminals appear, you can ask the superhero organization for help!"

"Every failure is a lesson learned. After this painful lesson, we will not allow any super criminals to run rampant on Earth in the future."

"Hehe..." Wanda sneered twice and was very disapproving of the promise made by Tony from the other world.

"If you have never experienced despair, you will not know the importance of force!"

"With the Reality Stone in hand, I can guarantee peace and tranquility in Sokovia no matter what kind of enemy it is. Why would I need to ask for help from any superhero organization?"

"Why should we hand over the gems?"

Tony from another world was silent for a while, and threatened her:
"Since you have talked with Steve and the others, you must know that the enemies of this universe are not just on Earth. There are even more powerful enemies coming from the depths of the universe!"

"Take Thanos, the Overlord of the Universe, for example. He is a terrifying existence that even all of us Avengers combined are no match for."

"He has been working on collecting the six Infinity Stones. If you hold the Reality Stone, you will never be able to avoid him."

"When he comes to Earth and tries to steal the Reality Stone, can you still protect the peace and tranquility of Sokovia?"

"What will you do then?"

"Fight him alone?"

Tony from another world deliberately bullied Wanda because she had been staying in Sokovia and had never seen the world. She didn't know Thanos' actual combat power level and would misjudge it, so he deliberately scared her.

Wanda has seen the power of the Avengers, and from her conversations with Steve and others, she has learned about the Avengers' fear and dread of Thanos. So of course, in Wanda's mind, Thanos, the cosmic overlord whom she has never met, should be a very terrifying villain boss.

The Reality Stone itself is not something to be feared, because most people are unable to use it correctly, for example, the former dark elf Malekith, and the unlucky Loki.

Pure chaos magic is nothing big. Wanda has never studied magic systematically. Even if she awakens chaos magic, she will never be able to use it better than the Supreme Sorcerer.

But when the Reality Gem and Chaos Magic come together, the situation becomes serious. It is a qualitative leap, an exponential improvement. No one can judge to what extent it can be achieved.

The only thing that can limit the power of chaos magic is Wanda's fragile body and mind.

The only thing that can limit the combined power of the two is Wanda's imagination.

The intimidation from Tony from the other world was very effective. Wanda's expression indeed became hesitant, which meant that she was seriously considering the feasibility of this matter.

In the space battleship, Tony from another world had been observing Wanda carefully. Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the better, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade her: "It's okay if you don't want to give up the Reality Stone. Just lend it to us once. After we save our universe, we will return the Reality Stone to you!"

After rejecting Tony from another world twice in a row, Wanda finally stopped refusing this time. She nodded slowly and said, "Okay, in that case, I will trust you this time. I hope you won't let me down!"

"Don't worry about that. After what happened to Thanos last time, we don't dare to leave the Infinity Stones in our universe. We will definitely return them after we are done using them."

Since they have reached a consensus, Wanda no longer needs to control the Avengers, and she returns everyone's memory. The Avengers who have regained their memories, facing their deceased relatives who reappear in front of them, are still frightened, but also feel a little more grateful and fortunate.

After crying their hearts out with their loved ones, the Avengers gathered themselves together, regrouped, and began preparing to establish a new superhero organization.

"Are you going to use the Avengers brand, or are you planning to rebuild S.H.I.E.L.D."

"There are not many Avengers in this world, and because of Hydra, the name of S.H.I.E.L.D. has become a stinker. Let's come up with another name."

"What's a suitable name then?"

"What about the Illuminati?"

"Let the light of justice shine upon the earth again and drive away all the darkness in the world. This name is good."

"Well, the new superhero organization will be called the Illuminati!"

The superhero organization was established, but practical problems arose.

For a superhero organization to exist, it needs at least two things: money and superheroes.

Money is easy to talk about. Not to mention that with the technology of Tony and Professor Hulk, it is not difficult to come up with some black technology and establish a large multinational group. With military support, there is no need to worry about being swallowed up by competitors. It is not difficult to form a long-term and stable source of funds.

As for short-term money, the high-tech products on the super battleships can be traded with various countries on Earth in exchange for initial funds, without even the need for the Midas touch of material reorganization.

But superheroes are hard to find.

But for such a big task as saving Europe, we cannot do it without fewer people, and we can't let the Avengers do everything.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and someone has to deal with the large number of small fish.

There is no soil for vigilantes to survive in this universe. The mainstream are magnetic field warriors. Only in recent years have the magnetic field warriors been recruited by Peter to the New World Empire as local governors, and only then have some superheroes sporadically emerged in various places.

However, these vigilantes are just a few of them, and their strength is not very strong. They can be used to deal with some small fry, but they are obviously not qualified to become the backbone of the Illuminati.

Therefore, the Illuminati's primary task at present is to recruit a group of middle-level backbones back to the organization. Steve and Tony discussed it and began to assign tasks.

"Natasha, try to contact the former SHIELD agents and see if you can recruit some of them back."

"As for the superheroes, I will go and recruit them myself."

"As for the superhero backbone, I'll leave it to you, Tony."

Tony nodded, then stood up and flew away.

"Actually, the easiest way is to recruit those magnetic field warriors." Scott nodded at Peter who was muttering something beside him.

Peter's will had been shaken by Gwen's "resurrection" last time, and he had been in a state of confusion. This time, it was because he met Thor from another world that he decided to have both.

But now that Wanda has used the Reality Stone to directly strip off his disguise and point out his inner thoughts, he has to reconsider again whether he is really deceiving himself in his determination to build a new world?

Are you going further and further down the wrong path, making one mistake after another?
Various conflicting thoughts kept popping up in his mind, causing him to suffer a splitting headache. He fell into autism again and had no time to think about anything in the outside world.

Steve glanced at Peter and shook his head.

"Look at Peter's current state, and think about our kind and innocent Peter. You will know that what Tony said may be right. The power of the magnetic field rotation may really corrode the human brain and make it easy for people to fall into a state of madness."

"Those magnetic field warriors, although powerful, lack the spirit of a superhero. They cannot become superheroes and can only become hidden dangers."

Everyone recalled the high-level magnetic field warriors they saw in the intelligence and couldn't help but shudder.

"It seems like we should stop practicing this thing. We should stay away from this kind of irrational power."

"However, Xingyun seems to be in the eightieth heaven now. Will she be affected?"

Everyone was worried about Xingyun, but Xingyun himself didn't care about it.

"Don't worry about me. I don't feel any impact on my sanity right now. But thank you for your concern. I will try to use this power as little as possible in the future."

Xingyun spoke confidently, but he didn't agree in his heart.

As the adopted daughter of Thanos, and trained as a warrior since childhood, the pursuit of power has completely penetrated into her soul.

Nebula only feels excited about gaining such powerful power, and she doesn't care about the risks involved at all.

Having even undergone physical transformation, do you still care about other powers?

What's more, this kind of power has completely freed her from the metal body and restored her to her original body. She doesn't even have time to be grateful. How could she give up?

However, she was really concerned about her companions' opinions and it was not easy to refuse her friends' kindness, so after making a few false remarks, she quickly changed the subject.

"Where's Tony?"

"Will he be able to find enough superheroes?"

Steve smiled and said, "He went to look for mutants. By the way, I haven't seen any mutants yet. It seems that there are no such people in our universe."

"Mutants?" Everyone suddenly realized that they had also seen information about mutants in the intelligence. "If that's the case, then we should be able to find enough superhero backbones."

"But will they join the Illuminati?"

"I think so." Steve said optimistically, "After all, before the rise of the magnetic warriors, mutants also had a superhero team, which seemed to be called the X-Men."

"Since they have the spirit of superheroes, if we want to save the world now, I believe they will be willing to join us."

Tony originally thought so, however, Raven flatly refused his request.

"The X-Men will only be responsible for mutant-related crimes and don't want to deal with other super criminals."

Tony was stunned, "Why?"

"What the Illuminati has to do is to save the world and protect world peace. If mutants join now, they will be considered as founding members and will have a certain say in the affairs of the Illuminati in the future."

"Moreover, deeds like saving the world will be seen by people all over the world. It can add a lot of points to the international image of mutants and greatly improve the international status of mutants."

"Hehe..." Raven covered her mouth and laughed, "Tony, how long has it been since you paid attention to international affairs?"

Tony was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Tony, mutants are no longer the stray dogs they once were."

"The biggest evil country that persecutes mutants has always been the United States."

"However, thanks to the battle between Peter and Steve, America collapsed, and the United States naturally disappeared."

"Without the United States taking the lead in persecuting mutants, other countries have naturally restrained themselves a lot, and the living environment of mutants has been greatly improved today."

"Besides, because of the existence of the magnetic field warriors, the conflicts between humans and mutants have been diverted and the relationship between them has become much more harmonious."

"After the establishment of the New World Empire, all countries viewed it as a scourge, but Peter's powerful military force intimidated all countries, and no one dared to do anything to him."

"As one of the few who participated in the final battle and came back alive, I have undoubtedly become an important bargaining chip to balance Peter. Therefore, all countries have tried hard to win over a strong man like me, and the specific way is to be more friendly to mutants."

"Now, all countries have introduced mutant rights bills, and no one dares to persecute mutants anymore."

"Although Paradise Island is still a holy land for mutants, a large number of mutants still stay in various countries and live with their families."

"Although this may make you unhappy, Tony, we mutants are actually very grateful to Master Zhanliu and Peter."

"Europe is now ruled by dark creatures, which is indeed tragic, but when humans were strong, the dark creatures probably lived no better than the mutants back then."

"Mutants feel the same way, so we have no interest in being superheroes or saving the human world."

Riven still smiled, but her eyes grew colder.

"Mutants are very satisfied with the current world situation."

“Don’t want to change it!”
