The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 402: Pick the softest persimmons

When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.

Mutants now live a very comfortable life. Without the oppression of the Americans, and under the military deterrence of Queen Raven, they are gradually accepted by various countries and become ordinary members of the countless races on the earth. Although they are not treated very well, compared with the situation of being like a rat crossing the street, it is like heaven.

Paradise Island is isolated overseas, but it is rich in resources and has abundant products. It has oil, gold, and all kinds of minerals.

Although due to factors such as education level, mutants do not have many high-tech industries, but the unlimited mineral resources alone can allow all mutants to live a wealthy life like desert tycoons.

Mutants are short-sighted, and no one is worried that this will make their people develop bad habits of being lazy and unwilling to work, so they force them to study, work, practice martial arts, etc. This leads to the mutants being content with decadence, seriously lacking the idea of ​​being prepared for danger in times of peace, waiting for everything, relying heavily on the charity of a few top mutants, and not understanding the principle of self-reliance.

However, the leaders of these mutants are also extremely individualistic. Not only do they not reject the dependence of their people, but they often go beyond the limit to meet their wishes. They are addicted to the praise of their people and the abnormal sense of accomplishment that comes from self-satisfaction.

Perhaps after a long time, when these superheroes who have suddenly reached high positions finally calm down, they will be able to truly become qualified national leaders. However, disasters will not give them this opportunity.

Natural disasters come unexpectedly!

When the sky was filled with meteor showers and fire showers, the Paradise Island certainly could not escape this disaster.

Fortunately, this natural disaster did not erupt from within the earth, giving Riven and others enough time to respond.

After the initial chaos, the X-Men quickly gathered together and divided into two teams, one responsible for blocking threats such as meteorites falling from the sky, and the other for rescue operations on the island.

Compared to the world of ordinary people in the outside world, who are weak and helpless in the face of such a world-destroying natural disaster, Paradise Island is full of mutants, and it is much safer than the human society in the outside world.

However, a world-destroying natural disaster cannot be solved by just the X-Men.

They can protect the safety of Paradise Island, but they cannot protect the surrounding ocean, let alone the more distant continents.

Countless meteors fell into the sea, like a rain of hellfire, causing wave after wave of violent typhoons on the sea. Moreover, much of the huge energy carried by these meteors was converted into heat energy, raising the temperature of the sea surface.

In some areas with dense fire rain, the sea surface has become boiling, boiling the sea water into a huge pot of seafood porridge.

A large amount of steam rose up, and along with the typhoon and waves, rushed towards Paradise Island, one wave after another, as if there was no end.

Iceman and other mutants are scattered around the island, using their abilities to try their best to resist the disasters that come one after another. Queen Raven sits in the center of the island, paying attention to all directions and ready to provide reinforcements at any time.

A single wave of natural disasters does not pose much threat to the mutants, but tsunamis are continuous and will continue to accumulate, becoming stronger and stronger.

Even if Riven and those powerful mutants joined forces, they still had a hard time dealing with it.

The worst thing was that the meteor showers kept falling from the sky.

The wrath of the sea will not disappear until the source of disaster stops.

If you defend it for too long, you will lose it. Riven cannot guarantee that if she is not careful, the escalating disaster will rush into the island and cause irreparable damage.

It was under such circumstances that Tony and Clint came to Paradise Island.

"Her Majesty the Queen doesn't have time to see guests right now, please go back!"

The guards of Paradise Island coldly ordered them to leave.

Because of the previous Illuminati events, the mutants and the Avengers had a good relationship and had been paying attention to some of the Illuminati's actions. Therefore, the mutants already knew about this battle as soon as it began.

Although they didn't know the cause and effect, they knew that one side of the battle was the Avengers and the other side was Zhan Liu.

This makes the mutants have a very bad impression of the Avengers, and they believe that they are the culprits of the current embarrassing situation on Paradise Island.

On the one hand, Zhan Liu has always behaved like a homebody and never seems to have initiated any conflicts with others.

On the other hand, Zhan Liu also has a master-disciple relationship with his own queen. He is a comrade-in-arms who once fought side by side with Her Majesty the Queen, and is also the nominal master of all mutant magnetic field warriors.

Compared to outsiders like the Avengers, mutants still believe more in Zhan Liu, the nominal ancestor.

If it weren't for the consideration that it was not a good time to make enemies, many mutants with hot tempers would probably rush forward.

Tony knew that it was not a good time to come here. If he had not considered that he was here to ask for help, with his personality, he would have flown directly to the gate of the palace and landed. How could he stop at the guard post at the entrance to the island?
So he patiently explained, "We are here for something very important. It is a matter of great importance. Please let Queen Riven make the decision."

He paused, fearing that Raven would refuse to see him, and added: "I came here this time to talk to her about important matters regarding the future safety of mutants. I ask her to spare some time to talk to me."

Tony deliberately spoke very harshly. The guard hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to make a hasty decision for Raven. Instead, he picked up the communicator and reported to the palace.

Tony and Clint were waiting anxiously outside, and they fired some lasers to smash some meteorite fragments that fell on this side, helping the mutants here relieve some pressure and also gain some favor.

A moment later, news came from the palace that they agreed to meet with Tony and the other man.

The two men were cheered up and quickly activated their armor and flew towards the palace.

The meteor showers in the sky are now sparse. After all, there is only the first wave of meteors from the battle between Zhan Liu and Hulk as the driving force. Subsequently, the two of them moved away from the earth and went into deep space to fight.

Riven is now busy flying everywhere, mainly to calm the tsunamis and high-temperature steam that are pushed over from afar.

The waves stirred up by typhoons will gradually become stronger and higher with distance, and the waves will accumulate more energy, especially when they are close to the shore. Because the seabed is raised, the waves will rise straight up, and the farthest one can directly hit the coast 20 kilometers away.

What is even more troublesome is the high-temperature steam, which is invisible and intangible, but once it touches human skin, it will cause burns. If it is inhaled into the body, even the respiratory tract and lungs will be damaged, directly threatening the life of the organism.

Iceman and his team created a large number of icebergs outside the island, forming a wall-like circular defense barrier to protect against both waves and high temperatures. Riven used magnetic fields to form a unique force field to guide the high-temperature steam that passed over the icebergs into the clouds in the sky, causing heavy rain to fall over the entire island, using rain to take away the energy in the high-temperature steam and lower the temperature.

After Tony and the others arrived at the palace, they waited for a long time before they saw Riven who had finished her work.

"Tell me, what dangers will mutants face in the future?" Raven landed in the palace with a gloomy face and sat on the throne.

The firefighting work just now was just tedious, but not difficult. Riven was busy for a long time and still didn't show any signs of fatigue, but her mood was definitely not very good.

So her attitude towards Tony was also very rude, and she was obviously resentful of the Avengers for messing around and causing such a global crisis.

"Your Majesty Raven, the last time I came here, I said that mutants cannot exist independently of the world. You should get more involved in world affairs and make more contributions to maintaining world peace."

"Otherwise, dangers similar to today's will appear more often to mutants."

"What you are doing now is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. If the root problem is not solved, you will still face more crises!"

"You may be able to solve this crisis, but what about next time? What about the next time?"

“How many crises can you resolve?”

"You must take precautions before danger arises, eliminate it in its infancy, and prevent small dangers from becoming big ones."

Raven interrupted Tony's long speech with an unhappy wave of her hand, staring at him coldly. "In my opinion, you Avengers are the root of all the unrest. Without you, there would be no danger at all!"

"Haha..." Tony sneered, "Before we came to this universe, the Earth here was blown up twice. Are you going to put the blame on us too?"

Raven was speechless for a moment and had nothing to say about this, but she still disagreed with what Tony said.

"But this time, the battle was started by you Avengers, isn't that correct?"

"We triggered it?" Tony was angry. "Are you playing dumb, Your Majesty?"

"It was Zhan Liu who first destroyed Sokovia, massacred the people there, and took away the Reality Stone!"

"It was Zhan Liu who killed our loved ones and made us suffer the pain of being separated from our family!"

"It was Zhan Liu who killed me in this universe!"

"Don't say you haven't been paying attention to all this, but now you're blaming us because you think we Avengers are easy to bully, right?"

"It takes two to tango. Master Zhan Liu is still very reasonable. Many things can be discussed together!" Although Riven knew that her master was not very reasonable, the two had never had a conflict. On the contrary, she benefited a lot from her master, so of course she would speak for her master.

"Didn't we discuss this?" Tony was so angry that he laughed. "But among you martial gods, who is willing to discuss this with us?"

"The last time we came to you, did you agree to discuss it with us?"

"You are just asking us to do what you want!"

"We have always been the ones making concessions unilaterally, right?"

Raven looked away angrily and changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about this topic. Back to the original question, what does this have to do with the safety of us mutants? You have been talking about these topics that have nothing to do with us."

"It is not irrelevant, Your Majesty!"

Tony waved his arms and emphasized:

"I know that you think of us Avengers as a huge trouble, but it is undeniable that Zhan Liu is also a huge trouble."

"Zhan Liu is an uncontrollable troublemaker. Anything involving him will eventually turn into a global disaster."

"Just like this disaster, how innocent are the mutants?"

"But if we don't solve the problem of Zhanliu, such disasters will continue to occur in the future."

"Are you willing to live in fear like this all day long?"

"We must solve this huge trouble of Zhan Liu!"

"After this battle, we will leave this universe with the Infinity Stones."

"Two huge troubles have disappeared, and you are the strongest person on the entire earth."

"In the future, mutants will have the final say on Earth!"

Tony knew that there were no real superheroes in this universe, and everyone was a sophisticated egoist. If he wanted to convince Raven, he would not be able to achieve his goal by just relying on the banner of justice and other morals, and he would have to bribe her with actual benefits in the end.

Ruiwen was indeed somewhat tempted, but when she thought of Zhan Liu's powerful martial arts, she immediately came to her senses.

She shook her head and flatly refused, "I have no intention of becoming the master of the earth, and I will not become an enemy of Master Zhan Liu because of this."

"Your empty promises are meaningless!"

"What if we add a paradise that will never be affected by natural disasters on Earth?" Tony threw out the chips he had prepared long ago.

"A paradise on earth?" Ruiwen's heart was pounding, and she asked, "Is it another dimension?"

"That's not the case. I'm talking about the super battleship in the sky." Tony pointed his finger at the huge object floating in the synchronous orbit of space.

"That super battleship is the crystallization of the highest technology of the Dark Cult. It is also one of the few treasures in the entire universe. It has a complete ecosystem, which can provide the entire city's population with free living and entertainment on it."

"The construction materials of the super battleship are made of various rare metals and alloys in the universe. Its strength is even stronger than that of the earth."

"Although the meteor shower in the sky has stopped, the natural disasters and tsunamis in the outside world have not subsided. Paradise Island will still be attacked by various disasters for a long time."

"Besides, the battle in the sky has not ended yet. Who knows when a new natural disaster will come."

"The earth might explode again at any time!"

"But as long as you move all the mutants onto the super battleship, you will be free from the influence and constraints of the Earth and will no longer be in any danger."

"If you encounter danger, you only need to delay for a while, and the other mutants can immediately start the super battleship and run away. From then on, you will never have to worry about extinction!"

"When there's nothing to do, we can also let the mutants come to the ground for vacation. The super battleship has a teleportation device, which is very convenient."

This time, Riven was completely moved.

"Okay, I'll arrange personnel now to transfer all mutants to the super battleship!"

"You arrange for someone to take over!"

"Once we gain control of the super battleship, I will join forces with you to kill Zhan Liu!"

Tony was overjoyed and quickly contacted Raccoon on the super battleship in outer space, asking him to prepare for the handover.

On Riven's side, she asked Blink to open the portal, and the X-Men organized a large-scale transfer of personnel.

The super battleship also activated the batch transmission and reception function, and worked together with the mutant portal to quickly send all the mutants to the super battleship, even the mutants and their families in the ordinary human world were picked up.

After the mutants completely took over the control of the entire battleship, Tony came to Raven and urged: "We should set off, Your Majesty."

Raven looked at Tony deeply, with a mysterious smile on her lips, "Tony, I learned a very important truth from Master Zhan Liu, that is..."

"Pick the softest persimmons!"

Before he could finish his words, Raven suddenly jumped up, raised her hand and slapped Tony's head to pieces.
