The mechanical craze in Marvel

After all, there was no better opportunity than this. In other places, Nolan Locke might have made some arrangements, but in reality, this place was entirely his territory. In other words, if he wanted to do something, there was no way for him to put up any resistance. He could completely suppress the other party. Under these circumstances, it was almost certain that he would be the next Nolan Locke. However, he quickly realized that not only was he present here, but also the Temple 8.2. Once the two of them used their superpowers, Barry Allen would easily be able to detect the commotion here.

At that point, it would be impossible for him to kill Nolan Locke. He would then face a two-on-one attack, and he couldn't guarantee that he could withstand their attacks, since both of them were very powerful. If they joined forces, he might even be in danger.

Under these circumstances, he didn't want any dangerous contact with Nolan Locke. After all, they weren't mortal enemies yet, and although their goals differed, they now had a possibility of cooperation. This was actually a good sign for him, which is why he didn't attack Nolan Locke. Nolan Locke held a special place in Barry Allen's heart, so after arriving at the new lab, a smile appeared on Barry Allen's face. Although he had been in the new lab recently, he hadn't forgotten that if Nolan Locke hadn't pulled him in, he would probably still be a police detective.

That wasn't the future he wanted, so he was very grateful to Nolan Locke. Under these circumstances, seeing Nolan Locke naturally gave him a very favorable impression. Soon, Nolan Locke walked up to the Parisian and said:

"I recently left Central City, and I didn't expect you to leave Locke Technology as well. I'm very sorry I couldn't keep you here, but I believe we can still overcome difficulties together as friends in the future."

"Back then, Mr. Locke, I believed our relationship wouldn't be affected by this incident. My coming here was actually due to other reasons, and it wasn't something I wanted to do."

Upon hearing Nolan Locke's words, Xiangtianxia8.10's face clearly showed some embarrassment. You should know that his departure from Locke Technology was not his own will. You should know that at that time, he left Locke Technology because of his father. At that time, he had no intention of leaving Locke Technology. However, he had already gotten by and could not control himself. Later events led him to make this decision.

After all, when he woke up, he found himself in a new laboratory, and he also discovered that the people at the Star Labs were aware of his abilities. Under such circumstances, he had no other choice but to stay in the new laboratory to find the characteristics that allowed him to control his superpowers and prevent them from doing anything harmful to people. That's why he stayed in the new experimental area. If it weren't for these unexpected events, he would still be working at Locke Technology, which would have been a good thing for him.

However, for him now, this is unlikely. After all, he now bears many responsibilities under the Lightning, and in this situation, he has no other choice. But for Nolan Rock, this isn't a major problem. He's simply using this statement to get closer to Paris and build a better relationship. Just as he said before, Nolan Rock has other purposes for coming here.

So after exchanging a few words with Barriaren, Nolan Locke continued:

“Sorry, actually I’m here on other business. Barry, I think you should use some special abilities, right?”

Upon hearing Nolan Locke's words, Barry Allen's face clearly showed surprise. He never expected Locke to speak so directly and say such a thing. He had no idea why Nolan Locke knew that he had some special abilities, since he had never shown anything to Locke Technology.

Nolan Locke had guessed this, which surprised him greatly. However, he wasn't wary of Nolan Locke, because given Nolan Locke's current position in this matter, there was no significant malice between them, so there was no need for such precautions. However, for Locke, this matter had become very important, and now that Nolan Locke had arrived, Paris Lundick spoke up:

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't think I have any special abilities. After all, I'm just an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person have special abilities?"

After hearing the Parisian's words, Nolan Lugo smiled before speaking.

"Ali, there's no need to rush to deny it. I'm quite confident about this matter, and I have no ill intentions towards you. If I did, I wouldn't have come to you, would I?"

Upon hearing what Locke said, Barry Allen couldn't help but show a hint of unease; indeed, that made sense.

He was genuinely worried that Nolan Locke might do something bad to him. Although he considered Nolan Locke to be a trustworthy person, he was still quite nervous at that moment, and thinking about it made him feel somewhat guilty towards Nolan Locke.

After all, Nolan Locke had been so frank with him, without any concealment, even directly stating that he knew about his special abilities. Perhaps his wariness of Nolan Locke made him feel that he was being too lenient with him. Baudran Locke didn't seem to care too much about this and continued speaking:

“You may not be aware of this, but I still have some influence in Central City. In this situation, most of the cameras I have can use some code readers to figure out that you have a special identity, namely, The Flash.”

Upon hearing Nolan Locke's words, Barry Allen was stunned. He thought Nolan had only guessed some possible information about him, but he didn't expect Locke to actually figure out his identity. This was a huge problem for him, because no one had ever guessed his identity before. This was not just a matter of being confused by his identity.

If his identity is exposed, it could cause enormous trouble in the future. His family might not know his information, and if they do, they could be in danger, which is unimaginable for him.

Chapter 462

Although he wanted to expose the matter in advance and make Barry Allen very worried, since Nolan Locke already knew about it, he naturally had no other choice but to see what Nolan Locke wanted to do. Fortunately, he knew that Nolan Locke didn't have much ill intentions towards him, so he wasn't too worried.

He simply resolved to be more careful from now on. At the very least, he had to ensure that his other identities were not revealed to anyone else. If Tai Zewen found out, his enemies would eventually find out, and his family would be threatened. He wasn't naive enough to think that no one would harm his family. For those superpowered individuals, if they wanted to do evil, dealing with them wouldn't be an easy task.

So, his family would naturally be the best option. If they could capture his family members and use them to threaten him, he would inevitably be at their mercy. He was extremely worried about this situation. Fortunately, Nolan Locke had spoken about it, and he now realized that he should indeed be more careful in the future.

However, Nolan Locke was just saying it casually. He does have a lot of cameras in the city, but it's not easy to find out about the Lightning Shoes through these cameras. So, although Nolan Locke can learn about the situation of the Divine Shoes through this information, it is still an extremely difficult task to pinpoint his identity. At least it is impossible for now. It would take several years to find out.

However, Nolan Locke already had the answer, so there was no need for such complicated procedures. He was simply deriving the answer from the given information, and it was very simple. He was just giving those Paris Eloi a simple answer, and Barry Allen wouldn't delve into the details. After seeing Nolan Locke, Lee Allen asked him about his purpose. Nolan Locke's answer was also very simple: he came to form an alliance to deal with a powerful enemy. Reverse-Flash, upon hearing Nolan Locke's statement, showed a look of doubt; he hadn't expected this.

What is Nolan Locke's formidable enemy? In this situation, he has no idea what Nolan wants to do. He even suspects it might be a trap set by Locke. After all, regarding Nolan Locke's purpose, although Reverse-Flash has some guesses, these are ultimately just guesses.

It's impossible to draw any conclusions based on reality. Your speculations might offer him some reassurance, but they don't completely put his mind at ease. After all, if problems arise, things could get very complicated. Even with such simple reassurance, he still harbors considerable concern for Norlock. Norlock then explained the whole story.

"You should know about Wonder Woman; she's the woman in armor you saw earlier..."

After listening to so many people's words, Locke first made a point in Paris's Ellendeaux district. He certainly remembered that woman; if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have escaped so easily when he was captured. At that point, he was almost in despair, but that angry kick to the ground practically saved his life. And not only that, they had already had several encounters before, and after those encounters, he knew that Wonder Woman was definitely a formidable person.

"Wonder Woman's identity comes from the myth of Zeus's daughter."

Barry Allen was completely stunned by those words. How could he have imagined that this matter would involve mythology? His eyes were filled with disbelief. He couldn't imagine how gods could really exist. You see, he had never heard of any god in this world, even though he already possessed some superpowers.

However, these superpowers confined his understanding entirely to the technological world, leaving him with no knowledge of anything else. But now, Nolan Rogue has suddenly stated that Wonder Woman's existence might originate from mythological powers, a revelation that is naturally extremely shocking to him, while Reverse-Flash was already aware of this.

However, he also presented enough evidence, because otherwise, it would be easy for the Flash, Barry Allen, and Nolan Locke to notice, which would be extremely bad for him. Not only that, there were also several other people standing around, and their expressions were not much different from Barry Allen's.

This matter was so shocking that they could never have imagined that it would become a mythical figure, but they continued talking about it.

"Wonder Woman Diana's reason for appearing in this world is very simple: her purpose is to find a nemesis, and that nemesis is the legendary God of War, Ares. Ares has lived on Earth for a long time, and there are many historical wars in which Ares was killed."

The other Greek deities, however, could not appear there. Therefore, Zhang Sharis is currently almost out of control. Under these circumstances, Diana's goal is to defeat Zhang Sharis and restore peace to the world. Without Zhang Sharis, the world would inevitably be engulfed in numerous wars. In this situation, Ares, the God of War, has now found Diana's presence, and I have reason to believe he has already appeared in the central city.

If he were to leave that place, the final outcome would be extremely dire. The entire world might fall under the control of the warrior Ares, and at that point, no one would be able to stop him from instigating various wars. A world engulfed in war is, in fact, an extremely terrible thing for humanity.

Nolan Luke's words were exaggerated, but that was perfectly normal. After all, for superheroes in this world, it's common for them to exaggerate their words and actions; otherwise, they wouldn't get any attention. Barry Allen and the others were completely focused on Nolan Luke, just as he had said. This Sharis was someone they had never expected before, but they could totally understand.

Since Zeus's daughter has appeared, it's not impossible for another god of war, Ares, to appear as well. Of course, the veracity of this claim is questionable, but now that Delanlock says the warrior Ares has appeared in the central city, it means he's not far from them. Under these circumstances, what they need to do is very simple. Even without Nolan's words, Shenqi and Li Yalun understand what they need to do: they must stop Ares from entering the city and even defeat him, because only in this way can the existence of war be prevented. As for him, he has no doubt about the possibility of this. If there really is a wartime safety, then the war in this world is naturally very important for killing Ares.

The power of each myth comes from what they believe in, and now war is naturally the war that Ares, the god of war, believes in. The more people there are, the stronger the power that warriors can gain. This is not very hard to guess. Even for your store, this is the first time it has done this. You know, although he has heard of some big things, he still doesn't know much about Ares, the god of war. After all, this is Wonder Woman Diana's debut battle.

As someone from a later era, he naturally had little opportunity to learn much about such a situation. At most, he had only heard of the suspect, and he never expected that it would actually happen to him. He didn't intend to refuse it, since this matter was not a problem for the people of Paris.

It wasn't a major problem for him. If Zhang Xiangruis were to cause a huge disturbance, they would be the ones ultimately affected. If he were truly out of the city center, he wouldn't care about this matter anymore. But now that the other party had already appeared in the city center, they had no way out. Under these circumstances, all they could do was fight back. As long as they defeated the God of War Ares, things would develop as he imagined. At least, he hoped to achieve that.

With this in mind, Reverse-Flash spoke up.

"Now we understand the general situation, but how to proceed is still a big problem. I don't know how to resolve the situation here, but in this situation, finding the town would be extremely difficult. Moreover, we don't know the extent of Ares's power. If Ares's power is too great, even if we join forces, it will be difficult to deal with him. In that case, it's better to hide for now."

"And it's impossible to stay in Central City indefinitely. To be honest, I'd suggest you let Wonder Woman Diana leave Central City. This way, Ares can be guaranteed to leave, and Diana won't face too much danger while under his influence, allowing her to improve her strength. If I'm not mistaken, he hasn't been there for very long; he probably just left home recently. So while his current power looks formidable, he doesn't possess any refined skills. Under these circumstances, I don't think fighting Ares is a good choice."

He spoke very frankly. For him, this was the simplest thing. As long as he could get Ares, the God of War, out of the central city, there was no need for him to get involved. So his best outcome was to get both of them to leave, and then he would have nothing to do with it.

Barry Allen wasn't very familiar with the matter, but after hearing Nolan Locke's words, he nodded. Although he only knew a little about Diana before, he knew that she was very strong in combat. However, he didn't expect to receive such an evaluation from her. But that was normal, and he knew that she was saying the same thing to him now.

He had heard Reverse Flash say more than once that his combat abilities were weak. He only possessed some combat instincts and relied on his immense strength to achieve what he had. If it weren't for these, he probably wouldn't have reached his current level. However, for him, these were things he couldn't do.

After all, his improvement also takes time. In this situation, he can only continuously improve himself to fight against those superpowers, and only in this way can he slowly save Central City from the threat. However, for Nolan Roger, he naturally cannot let things develop in this way, as it would not benefit him.

You see, he had signed a contract with Manager Chen, and their goal was to defeat the stronger lawyer. Breaking the contract at this point was not something Nolan Locke wanted to do; it wouldn't be a good thing for him. He didn't want to break the contract; it was his bottom line. So, without hesitation, Nolan Locke spoke up directly.

"After that, it will cause us some minor troubles, but you have to understand that this matter is not only related to whether we let this family continue to compete, but also that the whole world may eventually be plunged into various wars. You know, the two previous world wars have already threatened the whole world in other ways."

If World War III were to break out, given the current situation, all of humanity could suffer massive casualties. Therefore, I believe it would be impossible to escape under such circumstances. The best option would be to defeat Garth. Rather than hiding, we should take advantage of the fact that our tactics have already been drawn in and focus all our strength on attacking Warrior Iris. You should know that although Wonder Girl is still a bit naive, she is a natural-born Ares.

In other words, he possesses the ability to restrain himself. Under these circumstances, I believe we have a very high chance of cooperating. Even if we can't defeat him, we can still consider escaping later. At that point, I won't let him remain in Central City under such circumstances; it wouldn't be a good thing for Central City.

Nolan Locke's words were met with nods of agreement from the others. Indeed, Locke hadn't made any major mistakes. Under these circumstances, it wouldn't be a good thing to send anyone else away from there.

If they can take down Ares here.

That would be a wonderful thing, so it wouldn't be long before they were able to get things sorted out.

If trying it doesn't work, then it's not impossible for us to consider it again.

The group quickly made their decision.

Chapter 463

Having decided to resolve the Zhang family's conflict in Central City, they immediately began various discussions. They knew that the warrior Ares, possessing the title of God of War, undoubtedly possessed considerable strength. However, after receiving the intelligence from Nolan Locke, they gained some confidence in dealing with Ares. While the warrior Ares was indeed a mythical god wielding terrifying power, they now had the advantage of having Ares among the people.

However, while everyone was discussing, Reverse Lightning glanced at Nolan Luke from time to time. He still didn't quite trust Nolan Luke. In his opinion, Nolan Luke must have his own reasons, and he might have done this for his own reasons. Otherwise, he couldn't believe that Nolan Luke would do something like this.

After all, while his goal might be related to Chen Qi's family, he couldn't understand what benefit others might have in doing so. Could he possibly obtain Wonder Woman's equipment? No matter how you look at it, Lightning felt those weapons were exclusive to certain individuals, and at least in his view, Nolan Locke couldn't possibly be qualified to use them. In other words, everything Nolan Locke was doing was futile; he couldn't possibly be trying to steal some kind of energy from Wonder Woman like him.

He wasn't particularly concerned about Nolan Locke's thoughts, since although he knew Nolan Locke had ideas about applying for Diana's services, it wasn't really related to her.

Nolan Luke has caused him some trouble, but even though it is trouble, he still has to do it. So what he needs to do now is very simple: solve the immediate problem first, and then consider other things on how to deal with Gareth. He has also given a lot of helpful suggestions.

He is a very smart person when he doesn't confront Rak, just like in the original story, and he has an extremely strong opportunity.

In the original story, Harrison Wells was actually Reverse-Flash in disguise. The original Harrison Wells had already been killed by him. Under these circumstances, his ability to perfectly disown the identity of Harrison Wells is enough to prove how terrifying his intelligence is. It should be noted that Harrison Wells was one of the world's top geniuses.

This situation was enough to prove how excellent Harrison Wells was, and how excellent the history that could replace him was. Therefore, Locke did not hesitate at all and directly referred to Harrison Wells's ideas. He considered the various theories proposed by Nie Lightning. Although there were indeed some problems, they were all fully applicable, so he quickly made the corresponding decision. However, before that, they still had to meet with Wonder Woman Diana.

Because if the two sides haven't met before, then waging war would be extremely difficult. After all, getting to know each other before a war is the most standard procedure. Soon after hearing Nock's words, Wonder Woman Diana arrived at New City Laboratory. She was somewhat surprised to find such an advanced technological facility there. Moreover, seeing the presence of the Flash wasn't a good thing for her, given that their initial meeting hadn't been harmonious to begin with.

However, the fact that the Flash was the first to attack him is enough to prove that the conflict between them wasn't caused by a major incident. Therefore, he wasn't particularly fond of the provincial authorities. This is also why, after rescuing Chen Jianxia last time, he didn't speak to her, as he had no intention of becoming friends with her. But now, unexpectedly, Loran Locke would seek out the Flash as his ally. However, it must be admitted that it is indeed a good idea.

Because Ares, the God of War, wields immense power within the central city, he truly needs assistance. If they have helpers, they can significantly weaken Ares's power and enhance their own, thus increasing their chances of defeating Ares.

Although he is Ares's nemesis by fate, no one knows how to solve this problem, not even himself. His only thought is to defeat Ares; what kind of friends he cooperates with are irrelevant. As long as the problem is solved, everything will be perfect for him. Now, under Locke's management, everything is moving towards a more perfect state, which is naturally a good thing for him.

"Everyone, Ares is an extremely powerful god. His divine power comes from war. Although wars are not happening on a large scale in the world now, they have never ceased. Under such circumstances, Ares's power is extremely strong. Moreover, in addition to war, various situations such as killing can also enhance his divine power. Therefore, all of this combined makes him the most powerful being in existence."

Hearing this, Nolan Locke smiled and then said:

“Dana, I don’t think I can agree with what you said, because I believe there are beings in this world stronger than warriors, and I’ve already heard of this person’s name, but you don’t know much about him, which is why you haven’t mentioned it.”

Upon hearing Nolan Locke's words, Diana raised an eyebrow. Of course, she knew who Nolan Locke was referring to. There weren't many superheroes in the world, and most of them didn't have much power. Moreover, they only operated within a small city. Under such circumstances, it seemed that there was only one person that Nolan Locke could mention.

That is, in Metropolis, Superman knows that the power Superman uses is very strong. Although he may not know a lot about Superman, according to his understanding, Superman's power is enough to destroy most superheroes and even lift some very terrifying forces. Under such circumstances, he certainly knows that Superman's power is very strong, but he does not think that Ares, the God of War, is weaker than Superman.

However, since Nolan Locke said so, Diana still spoke up.

"If Superman is that strong, perhaps we can ask him to be an ally to deal with Zhang Jiarui."

But that didn't conflict with the other party's normalcy, so he didn't mind cooperating with anyone, including Superman. However, Nolan Locke spoke up:

"Going to Superman isn't a big problem when dealing with other people, because Superman is indeed very powerful. However, I think we should solve this problem ourselves. Going to Superman isn't a good idea."

"why?"

Diana looked puzzled, and everyone else turned to look at Nolan Locke.

Nolan Locke hasn't been in the industry for very long, so they don't know much about Superman. Naturally, they don't know that Superman has a huge weakness: resistance to magic. But Nolan Locke is very clear about this. Although Superman is indeed powerful, he emphasizes physical strength. That's why Nolan Locke keeps pursuing magic upgrades. As long as he has powerful magic abilities, he will have a huge advantage when fighting against Superman.

So, in this situation, going to Superman would only cause trouble for him. Ares, the God of War, is a figure from mythology, and is naturally very proficient in magic. In fact, divine power is a form of magic. If Superman were to get involved, although he could unleash tremendous power, he might be vulnerable and find an opening. This would not be good for Nolan Locke.

Superman might actually come to help solve this problem, but Nolan Locke had no intention of harming him. In Nolan Locke's eyes, the superheroes of this world were too perfect; such perfect superheroes posed no real threat to Nolan Locke. Therefore, Nolan Locke had no intention of dealing with them. Unlike Marvel superheroes, who are more like humans, the superheroes of this world were truly like perfect embodiments, regardless of their strength. Their personalities were always the best, devoid of any evil.

This single Nolan Locke seems like an extremely terrifying thing, but it must be said that being their friend still provides a sense of security.

Therefore, Nolan Rock still harbors a great deal of goodwill towards Superman. Without revealing his former identity as the Collector, he believes he can have a good relationship with Superman and even become friends. Perhaps using a certain event as a catalyst to achieve this is a good idea.

However, at least for now, he didn't think it was a good idea to approach Superman about the matter of Warrior Iris. Bonollanok didn't explain these things to them, after all, it was better not to discover Superman's weaknesses from his own mouth. In the future, other people would naturally use magical powers to cause trouble for Superman, and at that time everyone would naturally understand where Superman's weaknesses really lay.

However, Roland Locke never felt that magic was something Superman Clark couldn't overcome. It was quite simple: although magic was indeed Superman's weakness, weakness didn't mean he couldn't fight Superman. Clark had no resistance to magic, but his strength and speed were terrifying. Under such circumstances, he could deal with most monsters without even getting close. It was only because Superman Clark's kindness prevented him from killing that he gave magic users an opportunity.

Similarly, the reason Batman is able to fight against Superman is precisely because of this. If Superman were to go on a killing spree, he wouldn't need to get close to any enemies at all; he could shoot them all down from 1km away. There is simply no one on Earth who can stand against him.

Under such circumstances, the reason why Superman could potentially destroy the entire world single-handedly is very simple: even nuclear bombs would be useless against him, only making him stronger. Therefore, Superman is an unstoppable hero because of his kindness.

However, for Nolan Locke, kindness is not a bad thing, so this matter has nothing to do with Superman. Since he has been here for a while, he has no intention of revealing it. Everyone has seen it all before, and Locke did not explain. Although it was a bit strange, he did not pursue it further. After all, in their opinion, they were enough to deal with Ares, the God of War.

None of the people here are willing to rely on others, so under these circumstances, no one even considered Superman as a fighting force, since it was completely unnecessary for them.

As for Nolan Locke, he had already made the necessary preparations. All the cameras he controlled in the entire central city had been put into action to search for Gaza's expected destination. Ares hadn't done anything to change himself, so getting along with him wasn't too difficult. It didn't take long for him to catch up with the situation. At that moment, he was leisurely drinking coffee in a coffee shop at home.

Upon seeing his intelligence, Nolan Locke's face showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected that Rhys would be the one to kill him. He seemed completely unconcerned about Diana's purpose in coming to Central City, as if he had no intention of doing it at all.
