Marvel: The Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 108 Return and Change

With so few personnel, an excessively large warship wouldn't be suitable; his question was actually a price inquiry.

What I really admire is the replica of the Minerva, which is very suitable for small organizations. In particular, if all the Avengers were on board, their combat power would not be underestimated.

Furthermore, it can carry a large number of Yan-type fighters, along with numerous defensive firepower, so it is not afraid of facing a large enemy mothership.

Crucially, it can also enter the Daqing layer and dock at the port, which is beneficial for transporting materials into space for manufacturing.

Or, after it was built, it was sent to space for assembly. Link also used it as a transport ship, since it was already quite difficult for the Avengers to control one.

The collector looked at Link and said, "The Power Stone in exchange for a mothership?"

"Of course not." Link walked over, pulled up the blueprints, pointed to the Minerva, and said, "I'm going to build this. It's a small space battleship, right?"

"The biggest question I asked was just to inquire about the price."

The collector rolled his eyes and said, "How about I provide you with the complete fighter jet fleet?"

"The fighter jet isn't very valuable. I've already prepared it for production in my factory on Earth. If it weren't too much trouble for us to manufacture it ourselves, I wouldn't have let someone else build it," Link said. "If you've tampered with it, then I'll use the Power Stone right here."

The collector was taken aback. He naturally knew the power of the Power Stone, which could easily destroy a planet.

Link handed the cosmic orb to the other person. "Open it first!"

The collector took it, his eyes gleaming with confidence, then placed it on a small device and began to spin it.

The Cosmic Orb is actually a container that requires a password to unlock. The way to unlock it is to rotate both sides simultaneously, but the direction and number of rotations are the password.

The collector's little device is like a decoder.

Finally, the code was cracked, and the power gem inside floated there.

Link grabbed it, and the nanotechnology transformed it into a ring on his hand.

"Hiss~" The collector gasped. "You're not from Earth?"

"Of course, but I'm special; you can't withstand one punch from me." Link extended his right hand, the Power Gem on it emitting a purple glow. "So? Can we negotiate normally now?"

"No problem, esteemed guest!" The collector bowed to Link, a gesture of respect for the powerful.

The two sides then began to bargain, but the specifics depended on the design. Link showed the final complete set of design drawings, and the two discussed them.

The collector truly lives up to his reputation as someone who has lived for billions of years; he really knows everything, and he discovered all the problems in the design.

Thus, Link temporarily resided here, working with the other party to revise the design, and the collector was very enthusiastic.

Link didn't know why he was so enthusiastic, but it was a good thing. A month later, the design was completed, and the other party immediately began construction, but the construction site was not here.

Construction will take time, so Link plans to return to Earth and find manpower. After all, even a small one is much larger than an aircraft carrier, and it's not something he can operate alone. Link doesn't plan to use artificial intelligence to fully control the warship.

In addition, the name of this warship is not Minerva, but Avenger.

This time, Earth truly possesses the Avengers' power. Once the warship is fully equipped, the Avengers can travel to most parts of the universe in it. Link even left room for improvement, which is to add a light-speed engine.

Thus, it possesses the ability to accelerate instantly.

Of course, if he uses the Space Stone, he can open a spatial portal and instantly appear anywhere he wants to go.

However, he wouldn't use it so easily unless he exposed the Space Stone.

Link piloted the Swallow fighter out of the void, made several space jumps, and returned to Earth afterward.

This went very smoothly. I didn't expect to get so much from the collector. It wasn't just the construction of a spaceship, but also a surplus of funds. However, I can't get these for the time being.

The transaction involves a cash-on-delivery exchange, and the location will be outside Earth, where the collector will send a spaceship.

This made things much easier, so Link went straight back to Earth to prepare manpower.

……

"This is Link, calling Avengers Headquarters!" Link arrived outside of Earth and immediately initiated the call.

"..." But no one responded. Link was a little puzzled. "This is Link, calling Stark."

"Hey, Lin!" Stark responded quickly, "You're back?"

"I just called Avengers Headquarters, why is there no response?" Link asked.

"Nick Fury is in trouble and is in the hospital. Barton, Natasha, and Rogers have all gone to the hospital," Stark said.

"..." Link hadn't expected that his trip to space would turn out like this. Was S.H.I.E.L.D. going to disband?

But what about the Iron Man storyline?

"Understood. I'm heading to Avengers Headquarters to land now. You and Bruce, meet up here. But why didn't you two go?" Link asked as he flew towards Earth.

"There's a problem now. S.H.I.E.L.D. is on edge. They're even making the Avengers the prime suspects," Stark said. "Bruce is forbidden from going to the hospital."

"I was worried something might go wrong, so I stayed in the building with Bruce. Your return is just in time."

"..." Link understood. He had changed too many things, so naturally, unexpected situations would arise.

Nick Fury must have discovered something; the three secretly constructed space carriers are definitely still under construction, and Nick Fury wants to stop them.

Otherwise, Hydra wouldn't have taken action, and the Avengers are powerful enough to have even formed an alliance with Asgard.

Hydra is now trying to separate the Avengers, so Captain America and the other two went to the hospital. Bruce was restrained, and Stark stayed behind out of concern. If he didn't stay, he would also be allowed to go to the hospital.

As long as Hulk doesn't appear, Hydra isn't afraid of the rest of them; they probably have ways to deal with Stark's armor.

As Link passed through the atmosphere, he pondered his next move. Taking action now was definitely not an option, since it was still officially S.H.I.E.L.D. in operation.

Unless Nick Fury isn't dead!

"By the way, where's Coulson?" Link asked.

"He was the one who was holding up Bruce and me; he was carrying that Iron Monger," Stark said helplessly.

"Understood. You guys wait for me at Stark Tower. After I land at headquarters, drive to the hospital and send me the hospital's location." Link made his decision.
