The mechanical craze in Marvel

So he set his next goal: to go to Paradise Island. However, finding Paradise Island was no easy task. After all, its existence had been a secret for countless years, and no one knew that finding it was anything but simple.
However, for him, it was already prepared. So, he pulled up the relevant data on Redfire and began investigating various accidents. He knew the approximate location of Paradise Island, so naturally he could find its location as well. Through the process of elimination, he was able to pinpoint the relevant location for Redcore.
Then, by sending out a large number of drones, they were able to find Paradise Island. Soon after, Rainbow Queen began related operations. At this time, the Flash was already preparing to wake up. For Nolan Crook, the three nights were an extremely important matter, so they found the Flash's location without any hesitation.
At this time, Paris Allen had been in a coma for a long time. During this period, the world was undergoing tremendous changes. Harrison Wells had been looking forward to Barry Allen's awakening, and at the same time, he found Joe West and brought Harry Allen to the Star Labs.
This is something that can't be helped; even Nolan Locke can't stop it.
After all, he had no intention of becoming enemies with The Flash, Barry Allen.
Therefore, offending Joachim is not a good idea.
Chapter 443
For Nolan Locke, offending Jovis was pointless; he didn't need to. He was waiting for Barry Allen to wake up, and then his relationship with the Barea would naturally become one of friendship. As for Harrison Wells, he couldn't possibly have much of an impact on him. Nolan Locke was very clear about the relationship between Barry Allen and Harrison Wells.
Harrison Wells is Barry Allen's enemy. Under such circumstances, although Harrison Wells has been disguising himself for society for a long time, he can never be completely perfect in his disguise. One day, Harrison Wells will expose everything he has done, and at that time Barry Allen will naturally begin to fight against Harrison Wells.
However, for Nolan Locke, he doesn't need to do that. He doesn't need to wait that long at all, because Harrison Wells can't just force its way in and develop slowly like before. So for Nolan Locke, he doesn't need to fight against Paris Harrison Wells at all.
For him, simply waiting patiently is enough. What he wants to do now is find the location of Paradise Island. Once he finds Paradise Island, he will be able to find Wonder Woman there.
For him, this matter was more urgent than the Flash incident, since he had basically taken control of the business with the merchants.
However, he didn't have much of an impression of Tianxia Island. He had to explore the island step by step to find the information he needed. Even the gods of this world were a considerable problem for him, such as their power.
While they may not be comparable to Superman Clark, the power of these gods is magical, and even Superman Clark finds it extremely difficult to face them. Under such circumstances, the only advantage is that the gods of this world cannot easily descend upon it.
So for them, this isn't a big problem. At least for Chang'an Clark, he doesn't need to worry too much about it, because Wonder Woman Diana Prince will handle it.
However, Nolan Locke did not intend to wait for things to develop slowly, so he had already made plans to find Paradise Island and was prepared to communicate with the island.
At the same time, he also hoped to obtain some magical information from there. Only after obtaining magical information could he gain more powerful strength. Under such circumstances, he preferred to obtain those powers slowly rather than cause too much trouble. Therefore, he had Hongkou begin searching for information on the location of Paradise Island. For Nolan Locke, finding the location information was not very difficult. Red Queen quickly found the possibility of Paradise Island's location.
Nolan Locke then decided to go in person. Now that he possessed his own superpowers, coupled with his previous physical enhancements, although he might not be able to fight against his own body, the information he had gathered indicated that he could resolve the matter without a direct confrontation with Wonder Woman. Therefore, Themyscira was no longer a major problem for him, after all, Themyscira, while possessing certain dangers, was no longer a significant threat.
However, upon hearing that the power it possessed was not weak, and that it didn't seem to harbor much hostility towards Nolan Locke, Nolan Locke only needed to maintain his stance to resolve the issue. Furthermore, Paradise Island had been closed off for far too long, and its inhabitants lacked complex intentions. Therefore, these matters were entirely within Nolan Locke's grasp, and he didn't need to worry too much. Soon, Nolan Locke located the location of what he had heard. Under these circumstances, Nolan Locke immediately constructed a spaceship.
However, before Nolan Locke could leave, Barry Allen was awakened by other news. Upon hearing this news, a helpless look appeared on Nolan Locke's face. He did not expect Barry Allen to wake up so quickly. According to his estimate, it would take at least another month for him to wake up.
That much time was enough to do many things, but Barry Allen waking up a month early completely disrupted his plans. Although he didn't have any grand plans for this matter, for Nolan Locke, Barry Allen waking up early simply disrupted the order in which he was supposed to do some things.
For Locke, Barry Allen's awakening wasn't a particularly crucial issue. Moreover, Nolan Locke could easily guess why Barry Allen had woken up prematurely; it was likely Harris Wells who was behind it all, trying to break free from his control over Barry Allen.
Under these circumstances, his ability to get Paris Allen up a month ahead of schedule means that Paris Allen is very likely to be out of his control, and he has lost control of the future. This is naturally a huge problem for them, although it is also a problem for Harris Wells as well.
However, Harrison Wells' ability to control Barry Allen's actions means that the vast majority of Barry Allen's actions will not exceed his expectations. Under these circumstances, he can use his own methods to guide Barry Allen's development along his own trajectory, calculating all factors in advance to minimize the impact on the future.
However, this wasn't a good thing for Nolan Locke, so he fully understood Harrison Wells's current actions. But for Nolan Locke, Harrison Wells's actions had clearly crossed a line, and he didn't want things to spiral out of his control.
Although he didn't care about the matter, since Harrison Wells had done it, he couldn't bear to let him go. He had to do something about it. If he did nothing, Harrison would probably think he was too cowardly. So, thinking of this, Nolan Locke gave up his plan to go back to Paradise Island.
After all, going to the Heavenly Avenue was something he could do anytime, but suppressing Harrison Wells' arrogance was something he had to do right now. With that in mind, Norlanlock told the Queen to cancel Paradise Island first, and at the same time, he was instructed to prepare a plan to counter Harrison Wells.
Defeating Harrison Wells wasn't too difficult. For Nolan Locke, it was actually quite simple. Harrison Wells wasn't truly able to control the potions he relied on. Although powerful, these potions were ultimately limited and had too many constraints. However, for Nolan Locke...
He had no intention of rushing directly to Harrison Wells. After all, Harrison Wells was not only extremely famous to Nolan Locke, but he had also saved his existence. If he were to attack Harrison Wells directly at this moment, not to mention whether Locke could directly deal with Harrison Wells, it would inevitably leave a bad impression on the Parisians, just like Paris Allen. This was not very necessary for Nolan Locke. He only needed to let time pass slowly, which would be enough.
So Nolan Locke immediately sought out Joe West. Joe West looked surprised to see Nolan Locke, but he didn't harbor much hostility towards him at the moment. After all, Nolan Locke hadn't objected when he picked up Alan from Paris. The only thing that mattered was for the two to build a certain friendship. In the café, Joe West looked at the lone customer and then asked:
“Mr. Locke, I didn’t expect you to invite me for coffee.”
Nolan Locke smiled and then said:
"I expect there will be many more opportunities like this in the future."
Nolan Locke also hoped that his life could be a little easier. After all, he had felt immense pressure since coming to this world, so he had been moving forward at a rapid pace. Whether it was dealing with Superman Clark's problem or accumulating his initial capital, the speed was extremely fast, and he had put almost all of his brainpower into this aspect. But Nolan Locke did not want his life to be completely filled with these things.
Just as he would find opportunities to relax in the other world, he would do the same in this world. However, his thoughts were different from those of ordinary people in the previous world, so he could not communicate with ordinary people. Although Joe West was not a superhuman either.
However, Nolan Locke admires certain qualities in Jovis, and under these circumstances, he wouldn't mind establishing a friendship with Jovis, provided, of course, that there aren't any major fluctuations in their force fields. Nolan Locke is well aware of this.
Jofest and he themselves have no vested interests, so Nolan Locke is not worried about having too many conflicts with Jofest. After all, Nolan Locke is just an ordinary person now, not that damned Collector.
If he were to reveal the identities he had collected, he might worry that Jofits would try to arrest him because of them. Of course, that would be ridiculous, since Jofits couldn't possibly defeat him. But for Nolan Locke, that didn't matter. Then Nolan Locke spoke to Joyce:
"Actually, there are some things you should know about why I invited you here for coffee. Harrison Wells' New City Labs can be considered a rival of Locke Technology, but there isn't much difference in interests between us. Perhaps the only connection is the existence of Barry Allen."
The explosion of the particle accelerator at Star Labs caused Alan Paris to faint. Based on my previous research, I discovered that there were some issues with the explosion at the New Town Labs particle accelerator.
This might be a significant opportunity for Barry Allen, but I can't go into the specifics. What I do want to say is that Harris Wells might have some undisclosed secrets involved.
Upon hearing this, Joe West's face showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected that Nolan Locke had come to see him for this matter. In fact, he knew that Nolan Locke was not very friendly towards New City Labs and Harrison Wells, since there was indeed a certain degree of competition between the two.
Furthermore, taking Barry Allen away from Locke Corporation and placing him in the newly added laboratory was naturally not a good thing for Nolan Locke. Perhaps they didn't care too much about it, but it might involve some face-saving issues, so they might care about it.
However, he didn't expect Nolan Locke to come here directly and talk about this matter. This was a bit strange to him, but for Nolan Locke, this matter was not too much of a surprise. After all, although Nolan Locke was powerful, he was ultimately the owner of an experimental stock company.
Perhaps there was some competition between their two companies, so Jovis quickly misunderstood Nolan Locke's meaning. However, Nolan Locke wasn't particularly concerned about this matter and simply continued:
"In fact, this matter is not very important, but Harrison Wells' current situation is very likely to be part of a plan, so his current situation is very difficult to guarantee. I don't know what Harrison Wells is thinking, but I can confirm that Harrison Wells has already prepared everything for Paris Allen."
Therefore, you'd better observe Barry Harrison Wells' situation. If things can't be guaranteed, then acquiring Barry Allen might get caught up in some conspiracies, which I don't think would be good for either of us. Of course, you can ignore my opinion, since Harrison Wells and I do have some conflicts, but I don't think this should be enough to affect our relationship.”
After saying that, Nolan Locke stopped talking. After all, they didn't have much of a relationship, so Nolan Locke didn't intend to continue. There was no point in continuing.
He has already said enough; now it's up to Joe West to interpret it as he sees fit.
Chapter 444
Upon hearing Locke's words, Jovis's face naturally showed a mixture of belief and doubt. He was not clear about the relationship between the two, but there was indeed a clear competitive relationship between them. However, under these circumstances, he could not believe what Nolan Locke said. But he also knew that what Nolan Locke said might not all be a lie.
After all, he had nothing to offer Nolan Locke to deceive. Although Nolan Locke was just a newly established military company, it was precisely because of this that he was able to ascertain the sheer volume of energy used by the Nolan Screw. The owner of Locke Technology had no need to deceive an ordinary police officer like him.
After all, if such a being were to attack him, his entire family would likely be wiped out. Under these circumstances, he had no idea what Nolan Locke wanted to do, but he still didn't believe that Nolan Locke would be wholeheartedly devoted to them. He believed that Nolan Locke must have this purpose.
However, he couldn't guess how much of Nolan Locke's words were true and how much were false. Although he didn't completely believe Locke, Nolan Locke's words still influenced him, making him somewhat wary of Harrison Wells. Originally, he trusted Harrison Wells, after all, after his son knocked Li Ailing unconscious, Harrison Wells quickly took her to the Star Experimentation Center for careful care.
Joe West also frequently visited him and was able to confirm that Paris Allen was being taken very well and that his condition seemed to be gradually stabilizing, perhaps even waking up at any moment. Although he didn't know when Paris Allen would wake up, this condition made him feel somewhat favorably toward Harrison Wells. After all, although this matter might have something to do with Harrison Wells, it was ultimately just speculation.
It was impossible to be completely certain. The only thing he was certain of now was that Harrison Wells had a certain fondness for his son, Paris Allen. Under these circumstances, he didn't want to offend anyone. However, what Nolan Locke had said made him wary, and at the same time, he made some decisions.
Perhaps it was time to bring his son back. Although doing so might displease Harrison Wells, he wasn't willing to entrust his son's crisis to someone else. So, soon after work, Joe West took his daughter to the lab. There, he made his request. Upon hearing Jobs's words, Harrison Wells's expression changed. He hadn't expected Joe West to ask to bring Paris Allen back, since Paris Allen had been well cared for there. So he immediately said:
"Although the situation of Barry Allen in Paris is very stable now, we have no idea what will happen next. What we need to do now is not to send Barry Allen home, but to continue to observe him. If any problems arise, we can deal with them in time. If he stays here, he will definitely receive very good care."
Trust me, HeartEye Labs possesses the world's most advanced technology. Under these circumstances, Barry Allen shouldn't be in any danger. However, if he returns home, things might change. Therefore, I suggest leaving Barry Allen here for a while. Staying here will allow his recovery to proceed more quickly.”
Hearing Harrison Wells' words, Jobs was already somewhat tempted, but his daughter gently tugged at his arm, and Jobs immediately realized that they had come with a purpose. He had brought his daughter along to prevent such a thing from happening.
Although he knew that Harris Wells was unlikely to take action against Paris Allen, he still had some understanding of Nolan Locke's words. So the best thing to do now was to take his son back first and then deal with other things. He could also put his son in a top-notch hospital, although that would incur other expenses, but with his income, he could still support him until Lee Allen woke up. Then all the problems would be solved.
Naturally, there wouldn't be too much trouble. He could send it to them and they would decide what to do; that was his business, not his. But at least for now, he couldn't let Paris Allen appear in a dangerous place. He didn't want Paris Allen to be influenced by the location person without his knowledge, which would definitely not be a good thing for Paris Amazing.
Therefore, Jovis rejected Harris Wells's suggestion without hesitation and then said:
“I’m sorry, Mr. Wells. I know you’ve been helpful to Paris Allen. We don’t know how to handle this favor. But now I hope Paris Allen can be admitted to the hospital. I would prefer that this matter be handled by the hospital’s professionals. There may be some problems, but I believe he will receive better care in the hospital. If possible, I would like to borrow some equipment from here to monitor Paris Allen’s vital signs.”
To avoid making a definitive statement, Joe West added this last sentence, but Harris Wells' expression didn't improve much. He simply said:
“Okay, I can agree with that, but I still have to say that this is really irrational. If we do this, it could have some unknown consequences for Paris. I hope you can look at this calmly and not make the wrong decision, because such a decision could make you regret it for the rest of your life.”
Faced with Joe West's signing, Harris Wells had no other choice. After all, he still hoped that the storyline of Prince Shan could develop as he had imagined. Even if some problems arose, he hoped it could get back on track. Only by getting back on track could it develop according to the system he envisioned without major issues. Only in this way could he feel at ease. However, if he were to make a move against Joe West here first, the future of the entire world would be completely changed.
This was something he absolutely did not want to see, so he did not take action against Jobs, but instead considered what to do next. Although Paris Allen was about to leave the laboratory, it was not a particularly big problem. After all, their interaction could begin after Paris Allen woke up. He had already completed some of the preparations, since he had already established some contact with Paris Allen.
Although Paris Allen hasn't woken up yet, he's taken care of him for so long, naturally earning Barry Allen's trust. Once Paris Allen wakes up, he can use this relationship to elevate his status within Ariane to above Nolan Locke of Locke Technology. Once that happens, everything can return to normal.
However, he had grown increasingly hostile towards Nolan Locke, even harboring deep resentment towards him. Nolan Locke's methods were simply too drastic and too outrageous.
Despite using only simple methods, he felt utterly helpless, making him realize that the situation ahead would be extremely difficult. He had no idea how to resolve the Nolan Locke problem. However, he desperately wanted to find Nolan Locke's true existence, because only then could he kill him.
Once the other party kills him, everything will return to normal, and no one will be able to affect his existence. Later, he also realized that this matter was not very simple. Nolan Locke's power was too great, and most importantly, he was too cunning. He had never appeared in front of him, or even in public.
Although Nolan Locke has publicly attended various events on more than one occasion, they are very clear that all of these events are hosted by robots from Locke Technology. These robots have terrifying performance, which even he finds extremely enviable.
Even so, he did not give up. The only problem was how to find Nolan Locke's true identity. However, this matter could only be discussed in detail. After all, Nolan Locke was still an extremely mysterious figure. He was unwilling to let the two sides become mortal enemies so easily.
Although he had already made a move against Nolan Locke once before, that time it was just a brief encounter and there was no intense confrontation. If it happened again, Nolan Locke would probably fight him at all costs, which would be absolutely not beneficial.
So for him now, maintaining the current relationship is a good outcome, but he doesn't know what will happen next.
As he watched as Paris Allen was taken away, a look of shrewdness appeared on Harrison Wells's face.
This is a damn situation.
However, he was now powerless to stop it. On the other side, after sending Jovis away, Nolan Locke smiled and said that everything was going even more smoothly than when he was young. Now that the Flash had been taken away by Jovis, he no longer needed to deal with the rest.
It will probably take several more days for Alan to regain consciousness. He could have taken a few days to go to Paradise Island to check it out, but of course, he would have to be able to find Paradise Island first. At least for now, he has not yet determined its location. Although he has locked onto the approximate location, whether he can actually enter is still unknown.
After all, he didn't have much power right now, but even so, he decided to set off. He immediately took his private plane and headed towards the direction he had locked onto. There was a vast ocean there. He couldn't pinpoint the exact location, but with his immense technological power, he could conduct a thorough search.
Red Queen activated a large number of drones to explore that area of water, while Nolan Locke observed the situation from his ship below. Any problems that arose would be beneficial to him, as they were already close to the Heavenly Capital Expressway. Discovering anything unusual would mean that Paradise Island was very likely locked there. The only problem was that his actions might anger the guardians of Paradise, creating unnecessary danger.
Therefore, for Nolan Locke, there was a certain degree of danger involved, though directly confronting it wasn't particularly significant. As the Red Queen explored, one of the drones quickly lost contact. Upon hearing this, Nolan Locke immediately realized that this was very likely the location of Paradise Island. He immediately dispatched other drones, and every approaching drone lost contact and crashed. Nolan Locke was now completely certain of Paradise Island's location, and without any hesitation, he headed directly towards it.
Although there might be some risks involved, it presents more opportunities for him. With his current spatial abilities and other preparations, unless he engages in a direct war with Paradise Island, leaving shouldn't be too difficult. Moreover, while Diana on Paradise Island possesses great power, she is not an extremely evil person.
For Nolan Locke, as long as he didn't do anything too outrageous, the matter should be entirely negotiable, so he wasn't worried at all. However, he wasn't entirely sure what would happen next. With a gentle touch, Nolan Locke appeared within the barrier of the sky.
The moment he appeared within the barrier, he felt a sudden sense of clarity; everything before him had changed dramatically.
Outside the barrier, everything he saw was very strange; there was only a calm sea. But once he stepped inside, he was greeted by incredibly beautiful scenery. It was indeed an island, and the mining area was like paradise. Seeing this...
Nolan Locke knew he had found the right place, and without hesitation, he walked straight inside. He needed to find the people here before he could make his first contact, and also try to swindle some magical beings from them. For Nolan Locke, magic was far too important.
After all, magic is still extremely important in order to fight against Superman.
Kryptonite might not be as useful as magic.
Chapter 445
The moment Nolan Locke entered Paradise Island, people on the island immediately noticed the situation. Although they looked like ordinary people, the entire Paradise Island was indeed surrounded by a large formation.
This barrier allows them to sense the surrounding atmosphere and conceal their presence, preventing them from being discovered by outsiders. It allows all the residents of Paradise Island to live here in peace. Not only that, they can also sense the strength of the intruders. At this moment, after sensing the intruders, they immediately sent several warriors to the location of Nolan Locke to see who had broken in.
The Amazon Queen's expression was not good at this moment, because she was very clear that she had sensed the aura of intruders many times before. At that time, she thought they were just some seabirds. After all, the intruders she sensed were not very strong, and they were obviously bird creatures that were not in the air.
Although the barrier around Paradise Island was good, it didn't allow him to see the specific situation, so he made this wrong judgment. But now he doesn't think so anymore. The previous incidents of birds intruding into the island were clearly accidents. What came out were not ordinary birds, but other life forms probing Paradise Island. So he immediately realized the danger of this matter. Originally, he didn't care much about this matter, thinking it might just be an insult.
However, combining the two, he knew that the people who appeared here this time must have some understanding of Teacher Tiandao. After guessing this possibility, he immediately thought of some people. Each of these people was in Greek mythology. For them, Paradise Island was definitely a big problem. Although he knew that not everyone knew the location of Paradise Island, it could even be said that very few people knew the location of Paradise Island.
