Chapter 782: Mechanical Master - Howard Stark

Not just frost giants, but also fire monsters, undead, elves, and even angels.

It was simply a hodgepodge of fantasy creatures. All the fantasy creatures in myths and fairy tales appeared at once and began to attack humans.

With the reminder from the Spear Bureau, all countries responded quickly, but they still had to react slowly when faced with enemies that randomly appeared in downtown areas.

Moreover, ordinary soldiers are no match for these fantasy armies. Not to mention the undead and elves who use cold weapons, why would angels drive robots?

This overwhelming combat power caused the human side to be suppressed all the way and could only fight and retreat. They only felt a little better when they retreated to the position they had built in a hurry. With the help of heavy firepower, they finally blocked the enemy's attack.

But everyone knows that this is only temporary. These fantastical creatures don't seem to have the intention of killing us all. It feels like they are acting in a planned manner, only eliminating a small group at a time, and no one knows what their intention is.

However, this kind of treatment, which was like slaughtering pigs and cattle, made the surviving humans even more terrified. If this continues, some of them might suffer a mental breakdown.

The governments of various countries were also feeling miserable because they could not use weapons of mass destruction because they were in a downtown area. These monsters were very smart and kept a safe distance from the crowd while chasing them all the way.

Once weapons of large-scale destruction, such as nuclear bombs, are used, it is not known whether these monsters will die, but humans will definitely die first.

Moreover, the governments of some countries were attacked first, and the entire national system was paralyzed, and they could not even organize a decent counterattack.

Coupled with the Sky Hammer Lords who are still causing destruction, the entire earth has fallen into a deeper fear, just like the United States today.

"The United States has now completely fallen." Zheng Xian called Ji Shuangshuang and Acheng, but did not call Lin Lie. After all, the latter's Fuxi Sword had been broken and now he could not constitute any combat power.

Without the Fuxi Sword, Lin Lie is not even as good as an ordinary SHM Bureau agent. After all, the former can do what the agent can do, but Lin Lie may not be able to do what the agent can do.

"How could this be?" Ah Cheng widened his eyes. You know, that's America, a superpower. How could it fall so silently?
"Because the one ruling there now is a new Sky Hammer Venerable." Zheng Xian pressed the button, and a picture immediately appeared on the screen behind him.

I saw a man in black and gold armor holding a hammer that was completely incompatible with his high-tech armor. Behind him were densely packed robots, and the eye cameras of each robot were emitting a scarlet light.

One or two would be fine, but when this densely packed group of locusts gather together, it's really oppressive.

"Is that... a sentinel robot?" Ji Shuangshuang recognized the densely packed robots. "So, could this person in a battle suit be..."

"Howard Stark," Zheng Xian said gravely. "Previously, Hyperion of the Supreme Squadron sparked a movement for superhuman registration in the United States. Those sentinel robots responsible for identifying and capturing superhumans were all manufactured by Stark Industries."

"As the head of Stark Industries and someone who personally participated in the design of the Sentinels, Howard naturally possesses the ability to tamper with all of them. After he was controlled by H.H.M.R., the entire Sentinel corps naturally became his soldiers."

Ah Cheng couldn't help but shudder. The thought of an army of fearless robots that only knew how to follow orders was terrifying. "If only these sentinel robots were equipped with the same kind of Hammer Industries products."

Acheng's delusion was supported by everyone present. Everyone knew that the weapons produced by Hammer Industries were not easy to use, and their best products were imitated from Stark Industries.

But delusion is just delusion, and we have to face reality eventually.

"It's not just these Sentinel robots," Zheng Xian sighed. "Stark Industries has many subsidiaries, some of which also make tech products. Anything connected to the internet is under Howard's control."

"Howard Stark, he relied on the power of technology to control an entire country, and some neighboring countries that used Stark Industrial products were also affected. Fortunately, our country has been developing its own strength, otherwise we might have become part of it."

Everyone present was extremely grateful at this moment. Putting aside the things used by ordinary people, they always insisted on using their own things for national security and other things if they could, and if they couldn't, they would increase their efforts in research and replace them with their own.

This strategy allowed them to avoid a huge crisis at this time.

"What the top leaders are most afraid of now is whether Howard, under the control of Sky Hammer, will launch nuclear weapons to the whole world." Zheng Xian said in a deep voice.

"By then, all life on Earth will die. Therefore, the higher-ups have decided to send a team to resolve this crisis."

At this point, Ji Shuangshuang and Acheng both understood that now that all the other superhumans had been sent out, they were the only team that could take on this important task.

Faced with this mission that could almost be described as a life-or-death mission, Ji Shuangshuang and Acheng agreed after just a moment's hesitation. They had already prepared themselves mentally after joining the Divine Spear Bureau with the Three Emperors' artifacts.

The reason for their hesitation was that these missions lacked the Fuxi Sword, which made them unsure whether they could complete the missions successfully. After all, if the missions failed, it would alert the enemy.

It would be fine if they sacrificed themselves, but it would be bad if it aroused Howard's murderous intent and led him to launch a nuclear bomb.

"Don't worry, there will be a team of S.H.I.E. agents assisting you." Zheng Xian noticed the two's worry. "I've also contacted Franklin and the others. They'll also be sending metahumans to help you."

"This is the contact information of the leader on the other side." Zheng Xian handed a small communication device to Ji Shuangshuang. "The other party's name is Reed Richards."

"That famous scholar?" Ji Shuangshuang looked at Zheng Xian in surprise. "I remember he died in the New York incident not long ago? It was reported on all the major news outlets."

"Obviously not." Zheng Xian looked peculiar. "We've all been deceived by Western journalism."

After all, the old New York site is now inaccessible, so even the S.H.I.E. doesn’t know what it looks like inside. Who would have thought that there is a team of superhumans inside?
It is really ironic that a fallen country has to be saved by a group of people abandoned by the masses. If this were placed in mythology, it would be a well-known epic biography.
