I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 626 The Villain in Action

"It is very interesting that our President Ellis just announced his recognition of our government's terrible atrocities in the Vietnam War, and now he is about to repeat them himself."

Jonathan Jameson reported on it without reservation, and even wrote a special report titled "Atlantis: Who is really supporting Roxson?"

Jonah has pieced together the entire logical chain of events so far. It started with Roxon Energy obtaining a drilling permit from the US government for an oil rig, which then headed to the Atlantic Ocean.

But in reality, the place that the Roxon Company so confidently guaranteed to be "a rich oil field" was actually the city of Atlantis. Moreover, after learning this, Roxon not only did not choose to stop, but instead colluded with the opposition within Atlantis and launched a civil war.

More importantly, why did the White House not react to this fact? They already knew that there was actually no oil in that mining area, but they still chose to condone the war and did not stop Roxson Energy from mining oil in that land that actually had no oil. And what happened next was even more puzzling.

"How can an energy giant intervene in the civil war of an underwater kingdom and support the rebels? By selling oil to the underwater people? I can't imagine any engine starting up in the sea. Or is Roxon just a tool from the beginning, and our valiant navy and intelligence agencies are actually ready to control the entire ocean floor?"

JJJ's consistently objective and neutral stance (except for Spider-Man-related matters) and the information and videos revealed by "unknown individuals" make everything seem very real. Furthermore, the announcement that Loki's subordinates were involved has further escalated the situation.

“Whether the White House knows it or not, they now have to face the fact that they are causing thousands of casualties in New York and leading a military collaboration with war criminals who invaded the United States in an attempt to overthrow another country, wow.” JJJ remained as calm and humorous as ever: “I’m not surprised at all.”

"I have to say, having Jonah Jameson in New York is sometimes a good thing—except when he reports on topics related to me, I can hardly imagine that he would have such a big opinion about me."

Peter still has to commend Jonah for his courage; at least he dares to speak his mind. However, on the other hand, based on what the Avengers currently know, Jonah has actually revealed very little of the truth, and some of it is even misleading.

"This is the truth we can tell JJJ, though it's incomplete. We now know that the reason the Roxon Corporation was willing to join this project wasn't because of the Enchantress's magic, but because they wanted to obtain oil drilling rights in the Fog Country of Svartalfheim. Combined with the fact that Roxon might be a division of Hydra, things will become even more complicated."

After the captain finished speaking, he finally remembered that he should ask something: "Thor, what's the deal with this Svartalfheim and their king Malekith?"

"Malikis is the king of Svartalfheim, the land of mist, and the leader of the dark elves. He is one of the most outstanding archmages in the Nine Realms and has trained a very powerful army. They ride black horses, bring hounds, and come with storms. In Midgard, they are known as the Wild Hunt."

"The Wild Hunt, the black horse rider in mythology who follows the soul... Many people think it's Odin."

“That’s a misconception. It’s just that the Almighty Father also controls the storms, which has led to this misunderstanding,” Thor continued. “Originally, although the Nine Realms had their own tyrants, each world was relatively balanced. The war between the Dark Elves and the Light Elves, which lasted for thousands of years without a clear victor, is one example. But this balance was broken a few years ago.” “My brother, Loki, in order to gain the right to inherit Asgard and to curry favor with my father, the Almighty Father Odin, killed his own father, Laufey, the king of the Frost Giants. This caused the balance of the Nine Realms to be broken. Svartalfheim itself has portals to other worlds, so the brutal Wild Hunt King quickly occupied the entire Jotunheim and began training an army of giants.”

Thor spoke of the war situation in the Nine Realms, a situation completely unheard of on Earth: "The Light Elves are struggling to hold on, unable to even form a decent defensive line. And with Fimbulwinter approaching, only a few of my friends and I are heading to their aid."

The actual situation was even worse than Thor described. Elf Queen Elsa had begun to relocate the Light Elves to the Dwarven kingdom of Nidavellir, hoping to rely on the Dwarven military and fortresses for defense.

“If Loki joins Malekith’s alliance, things will be even worse. His daughter Hela is the Queen of the Underworld, and Loki cannot be unaware of the threat posed by the fire giants. In that case, four of the Nine Realms will form a powerful evil army that will threaten the entire Nine Realms.”

“Or we can stop him,” the captain reassured Thor over the comms. “Here, we can disrupt their plans. Whatever they do, we must stop them.”

Central Africa, Congo.

Congo is a paradise for mercenaries, a lawless land, and home to a large number of superhumans. Of course, the superhumans living here are usually either villains or mercenaries.

They're either villainous mercenaries.

Carl Creel was one of them. He gained the ability to transform his entire body into a physical being during a gamma experiment. He then used this power for evil, was defeated by the Hulk, and imprisoned in the Raft Prison. He later escaped during the Raft Prison out-of-control incident caused by Otto Octavia.

I'm currently making a living in Congo.

He poured the commission he had just received—a small bag of gold—into his hand, and then his entire body turned into gold. At that moment, accompanied by a green mist, a scantily clad witch appeared before him with a simple-minded, burly man.

"Absorb people? I heard you're a mercenary who can do work for others."

"Yes, so who is the target, and what is the reward?"

"The reward is a magical potion that allows you to control your abilities, and... a piece of Uru alloy." The enchantress said, gesturing for the executioner to hand the man a piece of Uru alloy: "It's the same metal as Thor's hammer. Trust me, you'll like it."

　I fell asleep while writing last night, sorry.
