The talkative raven in the world of American comics

Chapter 216 Machine Meets Fire

A web of lightning descended from nowhere, completely enveloping New Babylon.

The rubble from the buildings destroyed by Magneto was completely annihilated by the lightning-like energy.

In terms of experience, Daredevil and the Punisher have witnessed such miracles before.

They had witnessed Thor's prowess long ago.

Now, many years later, when such a spectacular sight reappears, a heart that was already restless is stirred once again.

This is not some supernatural phenomenon.

This is the power of Thor!

The owner of that hammer has come here!

They stared wide-eyed, trying desperately to find that figure.

But looking around, he found nothing at all.

There was only that one pure bolt of lightning energy leaving its trail in mid-air.

"Uh... I guess you guys are... the superheroes of this world?"

A slightly youthful voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

The two quickly turned around, instinctively preparing for battle.

But upon seeing that person, he was stunned once again.

"No, no, no... I'm not your enemy... I'm here to help you."

Spider-Man waved his hands vigorously to show that he meant no harm.

"Peter?"

"?"

Upon seeing his true identity revealed to him, Peter's spider-like compound eyes widened in shock.

He looked around, then realized something, covered his head, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Okay, it seems that I'm quite popular in another universe, but why haven't I encountered you guys in my own universe?"

The two people on the other side were also shocked.

This Spider-Man's costume is different from the one they know; it has its own unique style.

Moreover, the Spider-Man they knew had already died in that catastrophe.

Could it be that...?

The Punisher quickly asked, "Could it be that you also faked your death!?"

"Excuse me!?"

'

Peter tilted his head, and a question mark suddenly appeared on the spider's head.

But then he thought, these heroes who survived probably all find it hard to believe the deaths of their former comrades.

Perhaps in their hearts, some of their friends are still alive?

Maybe...?

Surely someone didn't fake their death to escape, right?

Peter quickly explained, "I'm not the Spider-Man you all know; I'm from another universe."

"Other universes?" the two asked with some curiosity.

But Peter didn't want to talk about this topic any longer, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Are there any other people among you?"

Fearing the other party might misunderstand, Peter continued, "I mean, superheroes like you... the kind who can still fight."

"It's just the two of us," they replied.

Peter wasn't discouraged at all; he simply nodded and then made a chest-expanding motion with his hands, his fingers cracking as he did so.

"Alright, what are we waiting for? Let's prepare to fight these people!"

"Wait a minute!" Daredevil asked, puzzled. "Are we the only ones here? What's the situation with Magneto?"

"Yeah, is it not enough for just us?"

Peter countered with a question, and then gave a brief answer to the question about Magneto.

"Magneto... let's assume he's on our side for now! His target is Red Skull and his crew, and we're also fighting Red Skull, so we're probably on the same side."

'

Daredevil and the Punisher exchanged a glance, then Daredevil sighed and said, "In a fight of this magnitude, we can contribute very little. If you don't mind..."

'

"What are you saying? How could I possibly look down on you!"

Peter suddenly raised a hand.

The two were somewhat confused about what this Spider-Man meant.

But a few seconds later...

The thunderous roar from the horizon immediately reminded the two of something.

It's also something they subconsciously forgot.

Legend has it that the man who wielded Thor's hammer was Spider-Man!

hum!

Mjolnir instantly appeared in Spider-Man's hand.

Brilliant arcs of electricity surrounded Spider-Man, making him look as if he had just emerged from a dangerous situation.

He said, "It's a pleasure to meet you all. Now, let's work together to correct this flawed world!"

'

Pale blue lightning reflected in their pupils. The Punisher opened his mouth, but finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

"I heard there's a new Ghost Rider. Is he here now?"

Spider-Man rested Thor's hammer on his chin, thought for a moment, and replied, "Him? He and Logan stormed into their base."

"Logan?"

"Oh right, it's the Wolverine you all know."

Anim Zola is an intelligent mechanical life form.

His existence is somewhat similar to that of Ultron.

But unlike Ultron, who was a purely artificial intelligence, Zola was actually a normal human being a long time ago.

Of course, this "normal" is second only to the fact that he is human.

In his time, one could not even be considered a qualified Hydra if one had never dealt with Little Beard.

He was Hydra's chief human genetic engineer.

Zola firmly believed in a truth.

That is—the flesh and blood are weak, while machinery ascends.

He devoted many years of his life to this field and finally succeeded in transferring his consciousness into the machine.

At that time, he was full of vigor and believed that he could make great strides in the future.

However, Captain America's appearance hindered his evolution.

This soldier led a group of superheroes, formed their own alliance, and beat them up.

Every evil plan they devised ended in failure.

Zola couldn't understand it.

I couldn't beat you before I became immortal, so why can't I beat you now that I'm immortal?!

With a half-resigned attitude, Zola believed that he would eventually outlive these superheroes!

When you die, the world will belong to him!

Even without superheroes, he is invincible!

And things unfolded as he had predicted.

The formation of a meeting, a team collaboration.

They successfully destroyed the superheroes and became the masters of this world.

No matter how you look at it, it's a situation where they've already won.

but!

But a nuclear explosion shattered his dream of evolution.

The villainous group he joined launched the most brutal attack on superheroes from the very beginning.

Nuclear explosions physically destroyed much of the modern network.

This caused his evolution to stagnate.

For a long time afterward, he could only work in the logistics department of the presidential palace, living in seclusion.

But today.

An uninvited guest appeared on the network he managed.

The other party is trying to modify his network, and it seems they are plotting something.

Zola, of course, would not allow it.

As for the matter between Magneto and Red Skull...

All I can say is wish them good luck.

In the pitch-black network data room, scattered mechanical lights dimly illuminated the servers, keeping them running normally.

Suddenly.

It seemed as if the figure appeared out of thin air, arriving silently without making a sound.

He plugged a data cable into the server's port, and a projection immediately appeared on his wrist.

Shortly after the interface appeared, the projection instantly transformed into a large human face.

This change immediately stunned Jason.

"Intruder, state your name," Zola said arrogantly.

Jason tilted his head, but didn't answer the question.

Artificial intelligence?

It doesn't look quite like it.

Ultimately, due to insufficient intelligence, their intrusion operation failed before it even began.

Jason disconnected the data cable and turned to leave the data room.

Just as he began to act, the lights suddenly blazed on, illuminating the dark data room and revealing his figure clearly.

"You can't escape, intruder."

The sound came from all directions, and the lights of the massive server cluster flashed back and forth, instantly forming a human face that stared at Jason's figure.

Zola connected via the other party's data cable and, through big data analysis, instantly deduced the other party's intentions.

They actually want to launch a nationwide live broadcast?

Zola's face flickered with excitement. "You went through all that trouble to hack into our servers just to start a nationwide live stream? Honestly, intruder, even with my intelligence, it's hard to understand your true purpose."

'

Jason rolled his eyes upon hearing what the other person said.

"The phrase 'enduring countless hardships' is a bit of an exaggeration. Your so-called headquarters is like a toilet to me; I can come and go as I please."

"How dare you boast like that! I'd like to see how you plan to leave this place!"

The moment the electronic voice finished responding, a series of footsteps sounded outside the server. Judging from the footsteps, at least several dozen people were rushing towards him.

Seeing the intruder standing motionless, Zola snorted, "What? Trying to go back the way you came? I've calculated every possible route you take; you can't escape."

Zola really enjoyed the feeling of toying with his prey.

The other party is still using the same old hacking methods, making it seem like they're filming a spy movie.

Arrive here quietly, and then put on a spectacular escape performance?

Excuse me.

With him stationed here, such a thing would never happen!

'

Jason stood there with his arms crossed, making no move.

His plan was actually quite simple.

The plan is to conduct a nationwide live broadcast.

No matter how great the upheaval in Neo-Babylon was, it would be meaningless without the immediate dissemination of information.

What he wants is for those who, for some reason, are too afraid to come forward, to see what happened today.

Tell them it's time to get moving and stop doing nothing.

However, before this work could be fully started, it was forcibly stopped by the network administrator here.

"Oh ho~ Instead of running away, you're going to fight us?"

The electronic voice continued speaking, and at the same time, the entire server door was kicked open.

A towering robot came into Jason's view.

Even if Jason wanted to ignore the ugly face inside the robot's abdomen, it would be difficult.

call out!

In an instant, a dense mass of red light covered the intruder's entire body.

If the opponent dares to react in any way, the extremely powerful ray will pierce through their body and kill them.

Zola was somewhat annoyed.

Since the intruder appeared here, he has only responded with one sentence.

This made him recall similar scenes from the past.

Those familiar heroes spent a lot of effort to successfully invade, only to be discovered in the next second. All their hard work vanished in an instant, turning into white smoke and announcing the failure of the operation.

At that time, he would quietly appreciate their reactions.

Listen to what they have to say...

What on earth is going on?!

Our intelligence was perfectly accurate...

Shocking questions like "Who are you?"

Then they proudly proclaim that their actions were known to them long ago, and that it was all just a charade by Hydra.

He relished the sense of despair that these people felt.

But this time the intruders....

They did nothing, just stood there like they were waiting to die.

This puzzled him a lot.

"So you only sent this few people?" the intruder suddenly said.

66

'

Upon hearing this, the tall robot let out a series of strange laughs.

"You talk as if you can leave here. Kill—wait."

Zola suddenly raised his hand to stop the dozens of soldiers behind him; he had received a message.

That was a distress signal coming from the gates of the Presidential Palace.

Through the line switch, he immediately saw another figure appear.

The man was covered in blood, and the holes in his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wolverine?

Based on Magneto's recent behavior, Zola believes that the disappearances of Mister Sinister and Jackal are inextricably linked to this guy.

Did he discover Red Skull's plan and then tell Magneto, thus initiating this war?

You heroes!

Why can't they accept their fate?

Zola then quickly contacted the other chiefs living in Neo-Babylon.

"Alright, intruder, you want a nationally televised broadcast? I'll give it to you right now."

Zola's red eyes on his mechanical head flashed.

"Trying to inspire others through rebellion? You'll regret your decision after you all die one by one."

"Now, kill him."

After saying that, Zola turned and left. He had to stop Wolverine before the other leaders arrived.

He didn't even consider this intruder a threat!

With a hissing sound!

Several laser beams shot out in an instant, piercing through the intruder's body.

Zola left without looking back, having no interest in watching the other person die.

They had only taken a few steps.

The soldier's trembling voice entered his sensor.

"Lord Zola...this person..."

「!?」

at the same time.

His network signal received another distress signal from elsewhere.

He hadn't even figured out why these distress signals were being released.

The intruder's flesh before him crumbled like shattered porcelain, pieces falling away to reveal the raging flames within.

Whoosh!

A burning skull came into view.

The soldier finished speaking at this moment, bringing the transformation to a close.

"This guy is the rumored Ghost Rider!"
