Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 667 Negative Energy
Just then, Popo walked over carrying a red mat with seven Dragon Balls on it.

Dandy began to speak:
"Mr. Smith, these are the Dragon Balls I made, and they are ready to use now."

Seeing that the Dragon Ball in front of him wasn't much different from the one he possessed, Smith Doyle nodded and said:
"Let's begin summoning the dragon."

Popo placed the Dragon Ball on the ground, walked over, and chanted the incantation:

"Come out, Shenlong!"

As these words were uttered, the Dragon Ball emitted a golden light that shot straight into the sky, and the originally clear sky turned as dark as night. The golden pillar of light that shot into the sky transformed into a blue dragon.

Smith Doyle watched as a dragon, remarkably similar in appearance to the dragon he controlled, appeared in the sky.

·······
With the appearance of the dragon, the other half of the Earth turned from day to night in an instant. However, the Earthlings, who had experienced this many times before, just glanced at it and didn't care at all. After all, they had already experienced alien invasions twice, so how could this eclipse-like phenomenon make them so irritable? Everyone just went about their business as usual.

However, those who knew about the dragon's wish-granting ability, or even those who had made such a wish, understood what was going on, and many immediately murmured:
"Smith is actually going to make a wish to the dragon!"

Inside Avengers Tower, Tony stared in astonishment at the pitch-black sky outside.

It's important to know that whether it was the Kree invasion or the later Hydra incident, Smith Doyle insisted on not using the Dragon Balls to wish for everyone's resurrection.

However, the damage caused by this Ultron incident was actually less than the previous two, simply because Smith Doyle believed that he bore some responsibility for the casualties, and that responsibility, in Tony's view, was rather far-fetched.

In reality, Tony had no idea to what extent Smith Doyle had allowed Ultron to get to this point.

Steve Rogers stared blankly at the darkening sky, lost in thought. He had assumed that Smith Doyle wouldn't use the Dragon Balls until the second World Martial Arts Tournament began at the earliest.

Then Steve thought of two people: his deceased lover Peggy Carter and the dead Bucky.

Under Smith Doyle's reforms, S.H.I.E.L.D. has implemented a merit system, allowing high-ranking agents to apply for super-soldier serum injections once a mission is completed to a certain extent.

If his merits reach a certain level, will he be able to earn the right to make a wish?
He will still participate in the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament, though there is little hope for him.

Inside the Sky Sword Bureau base in the outer sky.

Nick Fury looked at the Earth plunged into darkness from his spaceship. He had already learned that Smith Doyle had solved Ultron.

"It seems you've also started using the Dragon Balls. That's a really good sign."

"Carol, you're getting back much slower than I expected."

······
At this moment, the Eternals stationed in New York looked out at the dark sky. King spoke:
"Dragon Balls are really convenient."

"But they didn't use it during the last Kree invasion, so why did they use it during this Omnic Crisis?"

"As far as I know, the casualties this time aren't that high, right?"

"It can't be because of financial losses, can it?"

Cersei shook her head and said:
"Who can fathom Smith Doyle's thoughts? But with the Dragon Balls, humanity will not face the crisis of extinction. I believe that we will eventually leave Earth and head towards the universe."

"Humans really don't need us to protect them anymore."

The water sprite asked curiously:

Will we go back to Olympia?

Knowing the truth, Icarus remained silent, simply gazing at the sky outside.

Ajax said:
"Yes, we will all eventually return to our hometown."

Odin of Norway looked at the sky and shook his head, saying nothing more. He had come to terms with the Dragon Balls and was now enjoying the time ahead.

For him, death was not the end, but merely a transfer from the present universe to Valhalla, the Hall of Heroes in Asgard, where his people were waiting for him.

······
Temple of Heaven.

A cold voice came from the dragon's mouth:
"Human who summoned me, state your wish, and I can grant you any wish, but I can only grant three wishes!"

Because of Dandy's presence, the first time Shenron is summoned, three wishes can still be granted.

Dandy looked at Smith Doyle.

Smith Doyle then spoke:
"Shenron, I need to resurrect all the humans who died because of the Ultron incident."

Upon hearing Smith Doyle's wish, a red light flashed in the dragon's eyes.

"Your wish was very simple, and it has been successfully fulfilled."

The next second, all the humans who died because of Ultron were resurrected. This included not only the humans who died in Sokovia, but also those killed by Ultron when he was plundering equipment and materials.

The dragon's voice rang out again:
“Tell me your next two wishes. If you have no wishes, then I must take my leave.”

Thinking of the side effects of the Dandy Dragon, Smith Doyle shook his head and said:
"I have no other wishes."

The dragon then spoke:
"goodbye!"

The next second, Shenron's body transformed back into seven Dragon Balls, ready to fly to all corners of the world. At that moment, Dende reached out, and the Dragon Balls that were about to fly away did not leave, but instead landed on the temple and turned into seven stones.

Smith Doyle then asked:
"Dandy, take a look at this wish. How much negative energy has it gathered, and how long will it take to purify it?"

Dende immediately examined the negative energy within the Dragon Balls and then spoke:
"It will take at least ten years to completely purify it."

"If the Dragon Balls are used during this period, the accumulation of negative energy will be aggravated."

Upon hearing this answer, Smith Doyle knew that it would be best to avoid using Dende's Dragon Balls in the days to come.

Otherwise, if the evil dragon were to unleash its evil 1-7 star dragons, he really wouldn't be able to defeat it.

"Put the Dragon Balls away. Use them carefully, or even avoid using them if possible."

Dandy nodded, then asked with some confusion:

"Mr. Smith, won't your Dragon Balls absorb negative energy?"

Smith Doyle shook his head and said:

"My Dragon Balls don't have this drawback; they don't absorb negative energy."

Dandy nodded and then said:
“It seems I need to do more research to try and avoid this problem.” Smith Doyle didn't hold out much hope for Dandy's idea, but instead of discouraging him, he encouraged him:
"Keep going, maybe you can find a way."

······
Sokovia.

As the resurrected man appeared out of thin air at the ruins of Sokovia, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then erupted in endless cheers.

“Heavens, Heavens, you have all been resurrected.”

"It's just incredible."

"A gift from God."

“Easter has come to earth once again.”

Sharon Carter of S.H.I.E.L.D. also received the information at this moment. Since all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were killed by Ultron have been resurrected, the compensation approval process that was still in progress should not continue. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. still gave certain merit rewards to these agents who were killed and resurrected.

However, not every incident offered a chance for resurrection, serving as a warning to all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that they must be strategic in their actions, not act recklessly, and not treat life as a game.

After all, you can't guarantee a chance to be resurrected, but it did give many agents a psychological boost: when it's time to fight, you have to fight to the death, and if you're lucky, you might have a chance to be resurrected.

However, the choice between these two options depends on the agent's own assessment of the situation.

Soon, Tony learned from Jarvis about the resurrection of the sacrificed civilians, which relieved Tony and lessened his guilt.

After all, no one died, which is a cause for celebration. All that remains is to rebuild Sokovia into a new city.

······
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

With all the dead resurrected and Tony Stark taking responsibility for the losses and starting construction on the new city, Sokovia is no longer the focus of attention. The hottest news now is the expo hosted by the Capsule Corporation.

Los Angeles - Chinese Theatre.

The entire venue was booked by the Capsule Corporation, which rented it out for a week to host this expo.

This expo was not only a platform for Capsule Corporation to launch new products, but also invited many other companies, including Tony Stark Industries, Pym Technologies, RAND Corporation, Vanke Industries, Dyne Energy, and OXE Group.

Today, the Universal Capsule Group, as a massive technology conglomerate and a source of groundbreaking technological products, attracts the attention of countless media outlets with its every move. This time, a large number of reporters gathered outside the expo.

Because this year's event is being held in the form of an expo, the requirements for journalists are no longer as strict as in previous years. Anyone can enter the expo by purchasing a ticket, instead of the previous years when only invited guests were allowed to participate.

However, with the censorship relaxed, a large number of media outlets have gathered both inside and outside the venue.

Meanwhile, the reporters outside the venue were excitedly interviewing the visiting guests. When they saw Tony arrive with Pepper Potts, the reporters outside the venue became even more excited and immediately surrounded him.

"Tony Stark is indeed a frequent visitor. He always comes to support the Universal Capsule Group's new product launches."

"Did Stark Industries participate in this expo hosted by Capsule Corporation?"

Tony then looked at Pepper Potts and said with a smile:

"This question will be answered by our CEO."

Pepper Potts said:
"As a strategic partner of the Capsule Corporation, Stark Industries is participating in this expo with its own products, which will be showcased later."

At this time, a reporter asked:
"Mr. Stark, I heard that you have invested all of Stark Industries' profits over the years into the construction of the new city of Sokovia. Will this lead to the company's bankruptcy? The stock price has even dropped by 15 percent as a result."

Pepper Potts spoke directly:
"Stock price fluctuations are normal. Stark Industries has healthy cash flow, and the construction of Sokovia will not have any impact."

Tony also spoke up:
"This is a responsibility that a superhero should take on. I cannot let the people of Sokovia lose their homes and properties."

However, the reporter was not satisfied and wanted to get some more explosive news.

Looking at the increasingly outrageous questions, Tony Stark frowned secretly.

Pepper Potts and Happy stood in front of the reporters' questions.

"Tony Stark is not giving any interviews right now."

Thanks to Happy and Pepper Potts' efforts, Tony managed to break free of the reporters' encirclement and enter the venue. The reporters who had already entered the venue did not follow him and instead interviewed other guests.

Upon entering the venue, Tony noticed many familiar faces among the attendees, including Air Force Weapons Research and Development Colonel Rhodes, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Coulson, S.W.O.R.D. Agent Hill, Secretary of State Ross, the CIA's Director of Weapons Procurement, the FBI's Director of Weapons Procurement, and even personnel from foreign arms procurement agencies.

On stage, a group of giant white robots were performing a dance in an adorable manner. Seeing this, Tony joked:
"I still miss the expo I organized back then, where the dancers were all hot girls, not robots."

"Although Baymax is quite cute too."

Coulson, sitting to the side, said with a smile:

"I miss it a little too."

Pepper Potts glared at Tony, who shrugged, unconcerned; he was just telling the truth.

"Coulson, this is your director's company. Why are you here gathering intelligence?"

Coulson said:
"Capsule Corporation is the director's company, but it is not a company of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I heard there are new products on the market, so of course I need to come and find out more. Maybe then we can get a new batch of equipment for S.H.I.E.L.D. sooner."

Accompanying Secretary Ross was his daughter Betty. Upon seeing Tony Stark arrive, Betty came over and, after standing beside him, asked:
"Tony, still no news about Banner?"

Seeing that it was Banner's girlfriend, Betty, who had asked the question, Tony shook his head and said:
"We don't know where Hulk piloted the fighter jet, but we can be sure of one thing: with Hulk around, Banner is definitely not in any danger."

Betty said dejectedly:
"It's been a whole month, and there's still not a single word about Banner. If I didn't know Hulk's strength, I would have thought he was dead."

Tony started to complain:

"Sacrificing oneself would actually make things simpler, since those who died in the Sokovia incident were all resurrected, weren't they?"

Betty understood that Tony was telling Banner that everything was alright, and Betty said helplessly:

"Maybe he'll just pop up on his own someday."

Tony said:

"Maybe he's preparing a surprise for you?"
