American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

However, this stuff is normally used as a base for cocktails. Not many people can drink it straight, considering that even disinfectant alcohol is only 75% alcohol by volume.

Moreover, if there's even the slightest spark, this thing will instantly turn into an incendiary bomb.

Only special people like Carter can treat this as a regular drink.

"I'm a little troubled, and I don't know what to do!" Josie sighed.

"Huh? Even our Director Kahn has times when he doesn't know what to do?" Carter was a little surprised to hear Josh's words. In her impression, Josh had always been a very confident person.

"Do you believe in God?" Josie asked.

“…If you’re talking about the guy who’s controlling me, I’ll throw up in your face,” Carter said, glancing at him.

“Haha, of course not those kinds of guys. Those kinds of guys are just alien creatures with some special abilities. They're not even worthy of carrying the shoes of a true god. I'm talking about a true god, the kind that's almost omnipotent,” Josie said.

He was referring to the Celestials, of course.

In the physical universe, they can indeed be "omnipotent" to a certain extent.

“I definitely wouldn’t have believed it before, but now that I’ve seen aliens and the progenitor of vampires, it’s not unacceptable for you to tell me that there is a God in this world,” Carter replied, tilting his head.

"Have you heard of Tiamat?" Josie nodded slightly upon hearing Carter's words, and then asked.

“…Uh, I don’t know!” Carter looked slightly bewildered.

Although she has a high level of education and has done a lot of clerical work, she ultimately considers herself more of a soldier and a warrior. She rarely studies culture and history, and even her knowledge of Dracula comes only from various supernatural tales and films.

Tiamat? What's that?

In fact, not only Carter, but most people in the world don't know this name.

Compared to myths from ancient Greece and Norse mythology, the myths associated with Tiamat spread to a much smaller area.

It basically only exists in a small area of ​​Mesopotamia.

People from other places wouldn't know this unless they specifically looked into it.

"Then I'll say it, Gaia, you should know by now, right?" Josie wasn't too surprised by Carter's answer, but instead asked a different question.

“Oh, of course, Mother Earth.” Upon hearing Gaia’s name, Carter immediately recognized her and nodded in response.

“Tiamat is the Earth Mother in Mesopotamian mythology. Everything on Earth originated from her. The myth of Gaia was actually largely formed after its civilization spread westward and was influenced by it,” Josie explained.

This is not something Josh made up.

Josie had no idea what the situation was like in other worlds, but at least in this world, the only Mother Earth was undoubtedly Tiamat.

As for Gaia—Josie knows that there are ancient Greek gods in the Marvel universe, and Gaia may very well have existed in the past as well.

But in terms of being the true Mother Earth, Gaia is not qualified.

"You're not trying to say that this Mother Earth really exists, are you?" If Carter still couldn't guess what Josie was going to say after hearing her say this much, then all these years of her life would have been wasted, and she should just retire early and go home to take care of her children.

“It’s hard to believe, but it’s true!” Josie didn’t hesitate and immediately told Carter about the existence of the Celestials and the Eternals.

There was no way around it; the pressure from the Celestials and the Eternals was simply too great.

This kind of pressure is not something that Josie can bear all by herself just because she has a cheat code.

Ultimately, he is just a relatively powerful mortal now.

Therefore, he also needs to vent and needs someone to share his psychological pressure.

This is also what makes Josie different from the future Iron Man.

However, not everyone has the right or ability to share this pressure.

And Carter, who is righteous enough but not as pedantic as Captain America, is obviously the most suitable one.

And so, the pressure immediately fell on Peggy Carter.

After Josie finished speaking, Carter was at a loss for words to express his feelings, and could only numbly sip the water of life.

At some point, she thought that beings like Red Skull and Captain America were already at the pinnacle of the world.

However, the events that followed after she met Josie kept shattering her perceptions.

Aliens, Inhumans, Cosmic Empires, Progenitors of Vampires.

Now it's even better; a cosmic-level deity, the Celestial Race, and their tools, the Eternals, have emerged.

Damn it, even if Josie tells her later that there are even higher beings above the Celestials, she probably won't be surprised.

Of course, she didn't say it aloud, otherwise Josie would definitely have told her that such a thing really exists...

Seeing Carter in a daze, Josie's mood instantly improved.

This is probably why people like to confide in others when they encounter problems.

This feeling of transferring pressure is wonderful.

"Hey, actually there's no need to worry too much. The Celestials generally don't target us mortals. And on the bright side, with Tiamat around, Earth is actually quite safe, at least until the gods manifest. If we can really manage to protect Earth from the harm of the gods without harming this great Mother Earth, that would be even better... With a Celestial as a backer, tsk tsk, Earth's civilization will definitely be able to roam freely in the universe!" Josie, in high spirits, patted Carter on the shoulder and said.

Upon hearing this, Carter immediately rolled his eyes at Josie.

At this moment, she understood why Josie couldn't sleep and then rambled on and on with her.

So he used himself as a dumping ground, and then pretended to be a good person to comfort himself afterward.

The heart is so dirty.

Of course, this is just self-deprecation.

Deep down, she was actually quite moved.

Why did Josie choose to tell herself such an important secret instead of telling anyone else?

Of course, it's because of Josie's trust in her.

"Oh, right, Josie!" Carter hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"What?" Josie turned her head and looked at her in confusion.

“I saw them!” Carter said through gritted teeth.

"What?" Josie looked completely bewildered. What had she seen? Why did she look so upset?

“Wakandars! The Wakandan general Tapani who escaped, and the woman who fled Wakanda with him that day,” Carter said with a heavy sigh.

"Where? What place?" Upon hearing Carter's words, Josie's expression immediately turned serious.

“I passed through a remote town in Brazil when I was tracking war criminals. Although they were dressed as civilians, I still recognized them… I’m sorry, Josie, I’ve kept it a secret for so long, but I couldn’t bear to. They have given up everything in the past and even have children…” Carter said in a low voice, his head bowed.

Although in the Wakanda War, almost all countries have used propaganda to portray Wakanda as an extremely evil country, even more evil than Germany or the Red Skull.

However, most of the participants in the war, including Carter, knew very well that no matter how noble the reasons were, it was not a just war—although on the surface it seemed that Wakanda had invaded Ethiopia and undermined the establishment of Israel first.

As a soldier and a secret agent, Carter was powerless to change anything, and at the time he faithfully carried out his mission.

After all, wars between nations are primarily about force fields.

But the situation is different now. In her view, Wakanda has been destroyed, with only a few survivors left. Why should they be targeted?

So she chose to keep it a secret.

If it weren't for Josie's conversation with her today, which once again shattered Carter's worldview and made him feel grateful.

She may never reveal this secret until she dies.

It has to be said that for Josh, getting such important information by chatting with Carter by chance was a pleasant surprise.

"Don't worry, I won't kill them. I'll find them a suitable place to live afterward, where no one will bother them." Knowing what Carter was worried about, Josie didn't say much, but simply patted her shoulder gently and made a promise.

He had no reason to lie on this matter.

Ultimately, all he wanted was vibranium.

Chapter 215 Tchaka

It must be said that Brazil at this time of year is still under a relatively chaotic military dictatorship, coupled with its vast territory, sparse population, and undeveloped rainforests, making it a very suitable place for people with special identities to live in seclusion in a corner of the country.

Of course, there is a prerequisite: you must have the ability to protect yourself.

Otherwise, any armed expedition, roving gang, or rebel would be enough to send you to meet Mephisto.

Zhu Ke had this ability before.

The remnants of Wakanda, led by former Wakanda General Tapani, clearly also possessed this capability.

The Wakandas live in seclusion in a small town called Tabatinga in western Brazil, near the Peruvian border.

The original Tabatinga was not large, with a population of only a few thousand.

A few years ago, unrest in Brazil led to the complete abandonment of this town. Under normal circumstances, it may take decades for it to recover its prosperity.

However, in this timeline, this place was abandoned not long before its fertile lowland environment caught the eye of Ojada, the High Priest of Wakanda, who was searching for a new place to store vibranium. He planned to use it as a base for Wakanda in the outside world.

However, not long after, Wakanda was suddenly exposed to the world.

Realizing the situation was dire, High Priest Oyeda, after consulting with King Azuri, relocated a group of royal guards and collateral relatives to this location.

This move, however, unexpectedly became the Wakanda's last resort.

The Wakandans who migrated here, along with the later arrival of the Tapani, quickly brought the town's population to over ten thousand. Coupled with the rich environment, it soon transformed into a paradise.

Moreover, because the entire town is inhabited by Wakanda people, they are very cleverly disguised when they come to the outside world. So even if someone passes by, almost no one would think that the people in this town are all Wakanda people.
