Chapter 625 The Avengers in Action
Chapter 625 The Avengers in Action
"You should use your brain before you act! And if your brain has already been tampered with beforehand, then at least use it properly after the battle!"
This was the first time the entire Avengers had seen Captain America so enraged. At this moment, Captain America was not at all like the symbol of the American spirit that people hoped for; instead, he was like the spiky instructor from Full Metal Jacket, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Namor for several minutes straight.
What's even more commendable is that he didn't utter a single swear word.
“Wow, I was a little curious about what the captain was like in the army… Now it seems he’s not quite the same as I imagined.” Janet exclaimed, never imagining that Steve Rogers could one day be cursing with a red face like those stereotypical rednecks.
Ultimately, it all comes down to Namor's attitude – his impulsive decision to go to the Rockson Company was due to the Enchantress's magic, and it's clear that the latter intended to completely eliminate Namor as a threat; it just so happened that Thor happened to be there at the time.
Namor and Thor fought for a while, and Thor knocked Namor unconscious and took him back to Avengers Tower. Strange, who arrived later, helped to remove the Enchantress's spell on Namor, which also proved the Captain's guess.
But what happened after that? Namor was still being stubborn, insisting that he could have easily defeated his opponent, even after Peter said that the Enchantress had already prepared the executioner as a henchman for Namor, and that Roxon Energy also had its own trump cards. Namor was still being stubborn.
The result of being stubborn was that the captain gave him a severe scolding.
"Looking at it this way, every time we have a conflict, it's always a 'friendly exchange'," Tony remarked. He and Banner were currently focused on analyzing what this thing buried deep within the city of Atlantis was. Namor was engaged in a heated argument with Captain America; they'd ask him what the structure was after he lost.
Meanwhile, Strange, with the help of Thor and Peter, was spying.
With yet another failed prophetic spell, Strange looked at the two men with an unchanging expression, appearing mature and composed: "This place has been interfered with by powerful magic, not only the magic of Mount Olympus, but also the magic of Asgard. Both pantheons have laid out very powerful magical shields here to interfere with the spying of others."
"If that place has always been protected, how did Loki and Amora know what was inside?"
After thinking about Thor's question for a moment, Peter gave his answer: "It's more likely that Loki and Amora have always known what it is and have been trying to find it. When they discovered the protection here, they assumed that it was here."
Thor nodded after listening. Although they still didn't know what Loki and his men had discovered, they had found evidence of the Enchantress's presence. Whether it was Namor being controlled or Peter personally making contact and fighting with them, it proved that Loki's men were nearby.
"To be on the safe side, we don't have a way to directly deal with the crisis inside Atlantis right now, but we can start with the Enchantress and investigate Loki's men, which will be perfectly legitimate for us."
Having seemingly finished venting his anger on Namor, the captain led his men over. Namor even had time to add another sarcastic remark: "That's perfect. The Atlantean issue should be resolved by the Atlanteans. If you Avengers just arrest those Jokers, Kron won't be a match for me."
Peter glanced at Namor with a hint of surprise, suspecting that the guy had forgotten about the Winter's Chest, but he didn't say anything. Regarding the Winter's Chest, everyone agreed that as long as the Iceman intervened, everything would be fine; it wasn't a problem at all. "Alright, but first we need to know what this thing is."
Peter temporarily set aside the question and projected the images of the underwater structure detected by the probe onto the Avengers' large screen: "It looks like a temple."
“Of course this is a temple, can’t you tell? This is the temple of Poseidon. Before Atlantis fell into slumber, he was the chief god of Atlantis—and still is, but in addition to the original respect, there is now more fear.”
Namor frowned, thinking for a moment, and finally understood what Peter was trying to say: "You mean that the Norse witch is looking for something here?"
"That's right, do you know what's special about this place?"
The unusual thing… Namor frowned, then thought carefully, and finally answered uncertainly: “Around the year 11, the local city lord reported to me that an old man was carrying a package and said he wanted to offer it to Poseidon. But we were not allowed to inspect the offerings, so he was stopped and then reported the news to me.”
The group exchanged glances. It now seemed highly likely that the old man was Odin, who had hidden something in Poseidon's temple. Thor anxiously asked, "And then?"
"And then? Before I could give my order, Poseidon's oracle arrived. Tsk, the old man hadn't done anything for thousands of years, and then suddenly he appeared. There was nothing I could do; the priests of the temple were all stubborn old men. So I just let that old man deliver the package, and then the package disappeared."
The Atlanteans were more technologically and culturally advanced than Earth, roughly on par with Wakanda. Their attitude towards the gods was very pragmatic; or rather, although they were subjects of the Olympian pantheon, and every Atlantean city had a temple to Poseidon, most people didn't really care about Poseidon.
Just as Poseidon didn't care much about them, everyone lived in peace. In fact, the worship and belief in Poseidon in modern Atlantis was more like a traditional culture than a religion.
So Namor wasn't really that fond of Poseidon.
“If we want to know what that is, we need to infiltrate it.” The captain quickly made his judgment: “We need the Iceman’s assistance, and the Sorcerer Supreme to go to the scene and see if we can solve the mystery. Spider-Man, you go with Strange. Thor, I need your experience to find the Enchantress. As for the rest…”
"We need a journalist who dares to speak out and get the news out about the collusion between the Rockx Corporation and Rocky's men."
