The mechanical craze in Marvel

At least he felt that this was enough to warrant a grand banquet. Although Kamatji didn't usually hold grand banquets, they were still very willing to do so in this situation. After all, even magicians needed time to rest and recuperate, and they were the guardians of the Earth, just like everyone else.

Nolan Locke and the others did not refuse. Indeed, this battle had been extremely difficult for them, and being able to rest properly here was of great importance to them. Nolan Locke followed the group into Kamar-Taj, when suddenly a sharp, intense pain shot through his entire body.

Even Nolan Locke, feeling the pain, couldn't easily stop it. A look of agony appeared on his face, and he immediately tensed up upon seeing this. He walked to Nolan Locke's side and placed his hand on Nolan Locke's shoulder.

"Is it that damned curse tormenting you?"

Nolan Locke did not answer the question about the pain he was enduring, which was also extreme for him. He had not expected that the power of the curse would become so strong after killing Mephisto. He was instantly turned over, and as one can imagine, his current power was also affected as a result.

It took him a while to gradually recover, and then he said to Hela:

"It seems I underestimated Mephisto. I didn't expect there to be such a powerful one after Sally Mephisto. It seems to be blessed by Mephisto's true form. But it doesn't matter. As I said before, I can solve this curse problem."

……

Chapter 419 Doctor Strange's Thoughts

Hearing Nolan Locke's words, Hela was still worried, but she could only nod and pretend not to care. After spending time together, she had become completely devoted to Nolan Locke. For her now, there was nothing else that mattered too much except for Nolan Locke.

Even though he had always been in Asgard, it didn't seem important to Nolan Locke. After all, although Asgard had always been his obsession, he never really cared about truly controlling Asgard from the beginning. The reason he cared was only because his father was unfair and wanted to hand Asgard over to others. He couldn't obtain his own power or rights, so he did those things.

However, in the current situation, he had long since let go of Asgard. Although Asgard was very beneficial to him, these things were not that important compared to Nolan Locke. In any case, the master of Asgard was also his brother. Although brothers inevitably have some disputes, he would not do anything too serious because of it. But in the current situation, he had already sensed Lin Zhong's presence.

The fact that Nolan Locke is experiencing these health problems indicates that his physical crisis has reached a critical point and cannot be delayed any longer. If it continues to drag on, something he doesn't want to experience will inevitably happen. Therefore, he looked at Nolan Locke and quickly said:

"Nolan, I think after this is over, you should prepare for what you need to do as soon as possible. Wherever you need to go and how to treat this problem needs to be started quickly to avoid any other problems. In the meantime, we can look into whether there are any relevant treatments in the universe."

I've already sent people into space to gather relevant information. If there's a solution, the news will be sent back immediately. If this problem can be solved, then you won't need to pay those high prices.

Although he believed that Nolan Locke would not favor him and that Nolan Locke must have a solution, he was also very clear that this problem was extremely serious. Even if Nolan Locke had a solution, it would not be easy to implement. Under these circumstances, it would be best to find other solutions to this problem in the universe. If that was not possible, then he would have to choose other methods.

However, under these circumstances, he couldn't be sure if there was a solution to this problem elsewhere in the universe. He could only silently pray that his men would find a way. Nolan Locke simply nodded; he did indeed have some expectations for this matter. During their time inside the dimension, the entire Verlock Technology team was busy working on finding a solution.

They want to find a solution from the universe, and everyone who has contact with Locke Technology, besides Locke Technology, is doing the same thing. This is not only because of Nolan Locke's importance to them and their relationship with him, but more importantly, because Nolan Locke offered other rewards. Anyone who can find a solution to this dilemma can instantly obtain the most valuable resources in the universe.

While wealth is Nolan Locke's most powerful weapon and the best way to improve himself, if there's no other solution and he has to resort to that final measure, it would be an enormous loss for him. All his accumulated wealth over so many years would vanish in an instant.

It could even cause changes to his body, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return to his original state. Compared to that, if there are other solutions, the things he gets out are just a drop in the ocean and not worth caring about at all. So, he would rather find a solution in this universe. Even if he has to enter other universes, he won't be dragging a crippled body, but rather dragging his strongest power.

Only when he possesses his greatest strength can he solve the corresponding problems.

With this in mind, Nolan Locke didn't pay too much attention to it, but he did look with anticipation. After glancing at Hela, he also spoke up:

"Don't worry, I'm not too concerned about this matter anymore. I'll handle the rest. I also have the corresponding people in the universe who are the villains. They will find out the problem. The possibility is still very high. After all, although this matter is very troublesome, it is not an insurmountable problem for us. It just takes some time, and I have plenty of time."

Nolan Locke smiled. For him, time wasn't a huge problem. Although Potato was pressing him relentlessly, it would still take a long time to kill him. He just didn't want to drag on in this state. While waiting might offer a way to break the curse, dragging it out wouldn't be very meaningful, as it would only make things more complicated.

He didn't want to gamble everything on the path to the Book of the Unknown. He only wanted to control his own destiny. So no matter what solution came up, he wanted to take control of his own life and would never let himself be saddled with that illusory luck. As for the issue of lifespan, it wasn't a huge problem for him. After acquiring the third-generation super divine body, his lifespan had reached several thousand years.

Such a life form is by no means weak compared to Hela. Even a god like Hela only has a lifespan of a few thousand years, and very few can live for more than ten thousand years. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly an immortal race. After all, it is a third-generation super god body, which is a real body. Under such circumstances, Nolan Locke did not care too much about it. Fortunately, he has a body, so he was able to withstand such an attack. If it weren't for that, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist such power.

Well, Nolan Locke was also very clear that finding a proactive solution to the problem was probably very difficult in this universe. After all, he didn't have much time left, and if he continued to drag it out, his physical condition might deteriorate, which was obviously not a good thing for him. So, the two of them tacitly agreed not to bring up the topic again, but went inside Kamar Teddy and sat down with the others.

The others didn't notice anything unusual about the two. Although Nolan Locke had acted in front of everyone, Hela immediately activated a protective shield, preventing anyone from seeing Nolan Locke. Even Stephen Strange, though he sensed Hela's actions, didn't say anything. He only knew that the relationship between Hela and Nolan Locke was very special under these circumstances.

It naturally wouldn't interfere, because Hela must have had her reasons for doing so, and what those reasons were was unimportant to it. Furthermore, it wasn't worried about Nolan Locke's health, even though Nolan Locke was cursed.

However, its power remains the highest on Earth. Under these circumstances, even if Hela were to try anything to stop it, it would be utterly impossible. He believed that even if everyone joined forces against Nolan Locke, they might not be able to defeat him, even though Nolan Locke was no longer at his peak due to his race. With this in mind, he entered the main hall and began to invite everyone to a Christmas feast. Killing so many dimensional lords was undoubtedly a huge victory for Earth, so naturally, he needed to hold a banquet for them. It would be a great pity if they didn't.

It's important to understand that Earth has always been at a disadvantage in matters concerning dimensions. Being able to kill so many dimensional lords is a very significant event for Earth, and an extremely motivating one for these mages. Naturally, they attach great importance to it.

While Stephen Strange was hosting the banquet, no one else was present. Now, although Nolan Locke's earlier actions went unnoticed by others, Tony Stark and the others could sense that under these circumstances, Nolan Locke's intervention was urgent. Who knew when he might be harmed by the curse? They didn't want such a thing to happen, and everyone's hearts were heavy.

Tony Stark looked at Bruce Banner, and the two of them talked about something. They also hoped to solve the organization's problems. Although they had killed Mephisto, they had also gotten some answers from Mephisto, and perhaps they could find the direction Nolano needed from them.

While everyone was talking, Steven Strange looked at Old Wang and asked:

“During our absence, nothing has happened on Earth at times. If anything does happen, we need to address it now, because we will likely be busy for some time afterward.”

Upon hearing Stephen Strange's words, Old Wang looked somewhat surprised. Now that they were back on Earth, what else could they possibly be busy with?

However, he immediately began to explain:

"The Earth is not in any trouble right now, but we have discovered that some invisible magical creatures seem to have entered the Earth. We do not know the origin of these creatures, nor do we know their purpose. However, from the current perspective, this is just a normal invasion."

Old Wang didn't care much about this, and Stephen Strand didn't pay much attention to what he said either. After all, although they were responsible for the safety of the Earth, the Earth faced many crises, and they couldn't possibly deal with every one of them. Moreover, not every crisis would affect the Earth.

He couldn't even confirm whether the visitor was an enemy or a friend. Knowing this, they didn't need to care too much. They would only intervene after things had progressed further. Otherwise, they wouldn't have anything to do; they could just deal with Earth's various troubles every day.

Even so, they probably wouldn't have enough manpower. With this in mind, Stephen Strange simply waved his hand, and then Old Wang continued preparing the banquet. Afterward, he walked to Locke's side and said to Locke:

“The problem with the curse on you is indeed very troublesome, but I think we should hold a banquet first. After the banquet, I can take you to a place where the problem might be solved. That is our last hope.”

Upon hearing Stephen Strange's words, Nolan Locke's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected Stephen Strange to have such a side to him. However, he then seemed to realize something, waved his hand, and said to Stephen Strange:

"No need. Regarding this issue of initiative, I know the general situation. There aren't many ways to break this curse in the entire universe right now, so I don't think the places you mentioned would be of much use. And to be honest, I don't want to have any contact with those people."

Although Stephen Strange did not reveal who the other party was, Nolan Locke already had some guesses about the Flag. Although there are many hidden people on Earth, there are probably only a few who are related to the magic lineage. Therefore, Nolan Locke did not want to get too involved in matters related to the magic lineage.

Since even Stephen Strange couldn't find the answer in the Sorcerer Supreme's library, it's enough to prove that those people are unlikely to have such a possibility either.

So what Stephen Strange is saying now is most likely just to comfort himself, and under these circumstances, he doesn't want to get involved too much.

Then a grand banquet was held, and everyone was immersed in joy.

Nolan Locke also enjoyed this rare moment of peace, after all, he was about to enter the next universe.

An unknown world awaits him, and he has no idea what will happen in that world.

……

Chapter 420 Conspiracy

After the grand banquet ended, Nolan Locke did not linger and quickly returned to their respective places, since Kama Taiyi was not a very good place for them.

The air in Matterridge is so cold that no one would want to live there except for the Sultan, who lives like an ascetic.

Nolan Locke was the same; although he no longer distinguished between hot and cold, such a temperature would not have any effect on him.

Even so, he still preferred the scenery of spring and autumn to the current white expanse where he could see nothing at all. Although Nolan Locke had exhausted too much power in the previous battle, he quickly regained the magic to open the portal after a period of recovery.

A portal opened, and in the blink of an eye, Nolan Locke and the others found themselves in New York City, the home of many superheroes. Locke Technology was also located there, having lived there for many years and becoming very familiar with the place. Upon entering New York, Nolan Locke couldn't help but speak:

"As expected, it's still that murky, dirty air."

Tony Stark, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but nod in agreement. As a huge metropolis, New York has become very economically developed, but because it is too developed, the air quality in the city is not very good.

Even though efforts have been made to improve the air quality here, it remains the same. Moreover, after several wars, New York has also experienced various other problems, although these problems have all been suppressed.

Perhaps one day these problems will reappear, but at least for now they don't need to worry about them. However, the polluted air is certainly not a pleasant experience for them.

Epent Bruce Bannerzer began to speak:

"You always have to pay a price to live a better life. After all, life in New York is quite convenient. If you move to another place, you probably won't achieve the same effect."

He was said to be the director of all the companies, but he didn't really care about it. After all, he wasn't like Nolan Locke or his brother Tony, who owned a huge company, even though he also had extremely strong talent.

Moreover, as a scientist, he has achieved considerable success, but he does not have the same vast foundation as the other two. His current wealth allows him to live a very comfortable life, but it is not enough for him to live as freely and unrestrainedly as the other two.

Fortunately, he didn't have too much ambition in these areas. His work was always within Lockheed Martin, where he frequently conducted research, as did his wife.

He personally feels very satisfied with this kind of life.

Bruce Banner then bid farewell to the two of them. He had been gone for a long time. Although the journey to this dimension did not seem to last very long, it had actually taken several days. So he would let his wife know that he had returned safely.

Tony Stark glanced at Bruce Barnas as he left. Our director didn't seem to care. Although he was now married, he was different from Bruce Barnas, who used to be a playboy, even though he had completely changed his ways.

However, he was often away from home and didn't have much of a concept of taking care of his family. Nolan Locke was the same way, except that their relationship was slightly different. For Nolan Locke, his family situation was much more complicated.

For example, there's Hela right now beside us. If we don't deal with this problem first, going back will be a huge hassle.

When he appeared in New York just before the holiday, all sides reacted immediately. Although Noanlock's actions were not particularly high-profile, he did not try to hide what he was doing.

Upon hearing the news about Nolan Locke, the White House immediately convened a grand meeting in response. It is unclear where Nolan Locke has been these past two days.

Because all this information has been kept secret during this period, they simply cannot understand it, but there is nothing they can do to change it, since Nolan Locke's strength is now too great.

If Nolan Locke wants to hide something, they simply have no way of knowing it.

Even the Avengers, who were supposed to be under their control, were not informed of this information at all.

As for the fact that the Revenge Dog Alliance didn't have much to do with them, they naturally chose to ignore it. The group sat in the meeting room looking at each other, and then they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although this meeting was convened by Wei Nolan Locke, they had no idea what the topic of the meeting should be—to deal with Nolan Locke—which was obviously impossible.

Appeasing Nolan Locke is clearly not in line with their goals or their ideas. They have long since become powerful figures in the European Union, so naturally they would not be willing to do such a thing.

Fortunately, many difficulties have been resolved peacefully during this period, which has given them some peace of mind. Although they are not entirely satisfied with the situation, they have no other choice now.

Thanos's reign had already broken their spirits. Originally, they still had some intention to limit Nolan Locke, after all, he was Nolan Locke's defeat, and he was just too strong.

Moreover, his strength is so great that it is impossible not to be wary of him. Locke Technology has long since spread throughout the entire Earth, to the point that there is no place on Earth without the power of Locke Technology.

Under such circumstances, if Nolan Locke were to do anything, it could very well result in the entire Earth being touched as a result.

Under these circumstances, they naturally hoped to limit Nolan Locke's restrictions, Locke Technology, and the ability to visualize Nolan Locke's display of that power face-to-face. They dispatched countless experts to study it, but the results of each study were enough to leave them utterly despairing.

That was simply not an opponent that humans could fight against, nor even the limit that life could withstand. Even if they threw all the nuclear missiles in the Earth Sphere at Nolan Locke, they probably wouldn't be able to change the outcome.

Moreover, although the nuclear bomb was meant to be a terrifying one-way attack on Rock, it was almost impossible for Nolan Locke to be so fast. They even knew that Nolan Locke possessed a special method.

Being able to traverse space at will, they had no idea that if they were to make a large number of trips to the South City South Road intersection, the next Nolan Locke might suddenly appear before them through some kind of magical power.

Then kill them all, but because of this idea, all the politicians are extremely concerned about those two eggs, and don't even know how to communicate with Nolan Locke.

They were used to this method, but now that Nolan Locke has suddenly disappeared, taking many superheroes from Earth with him, it naturally aroused their vigilance, and they didn't understand what he wanted to do.

Now that Nok has reappeared on Earth, it seems that nothing too serious has happened. On the one hand, they feel a little relieved, but on the other hand, they are wondering what Nolan Locke has done. They want to know Nolan Locke's movements, because only in this way can they take appropriate measures to avoid bigger trouble.

"Everyone, we should discuss what to do with Nolan Locke next. Although Nolan Locke didn't seem to do much during his departure from Earth, and all the superheroes have returned."

However, we must admit that Noah Locke's power has long since reached a point where we simply cannot control it. If we do not take any action now, then Noah Locke may truly become uncontrollable.

The man suddenly spoke with a serious expression, but after hearing his words, the others shrugged helplessly. They could completely understand what he meant, but their words also carried a hint of helplessness and mockery.

Is this guy an idiot? They know Nolan Locke's situation better than anyone else. Nolan Locke has long been beyond their control, so there's no point in emphasizing it anymore.

Because Nolan Locke is no longer under their control, the fact that they hold meetings here and charge fees is basically just to make themselves feel more at ease.

You could even say that all they can do now is try to figure out how to prevent Nolan Locke from becoming dissatisfied with them.

This would create even more trouble. Otherwise, they would rather stay at home and enjoy their lives than come here to discuss any issues related to Nolan Locke. After all, Nolan Locke is far too powerful for them to contend with.

After a while, seeing that no one spoke, the man suddenly spoke again:
