In the Marvel Universe: I can summon items from all dimensions.

The two new groups of people approached the ruins of the Fitz Apartments almost at the same time.

Spider-Man performed a somersault in mid-air and landed steadily on a truck. After looking around, he greeted Tony, "Mr. Stark, you're here too?"

"...Weren't you tracking down some prisoners who escaped from jail? Why are you here?"

Tony frowned, clearly becoming somewhat nervous.

That's interesting.

Although this Spider-Man looks like the Amazing Spider-Man, he also seems to have a good relationship with Tony Stark, who even treats him with a kind of elder-like care... This brings us into Mason's familiar territory.

"I saw the explosion in Queens, how could I not come and check it out?" Spider-Man scratched his head, then looked directly at Mason and asked, "Madam, do you have any clue about the situation here?"

His tone was clear and innocent, like that of a college student, suggesting he genuinely didn't know what was happening there.

"There really is one."

Mason stroked his chin and said with a grin, "Because that's what I did."

"What?!?"

Spider-Man was shocked, and his muscles instantly adjusted to a ready fighting stance. But then he thought, if this were a terrorist attack, Mr. Tony would definitely not be standing here like this... So there must be some hidden story.

While he was thinking, the spaceship that Mason would call a conjoined bumper car hovered in mid-air, and three people jumped down from it with a bang, followed by the fiery figure that had been hovering in the air, which landed on the ground.

They are--

A handsome man with a gentle appearance and slicked-back hair, a Marvel Rubber-Rubber Fruit user (just kidding), the leader of the Fantastic Four, Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards.

Susan Stone is a blonde beauty with supermodel-level looks and figure, possessing the abilities of invisibility and creating protective force fields.

Ben Grimm is tall and imposing, and his entire body is made of deep orange stone.

A seemingly enthusiastic and energetic young man (in a good way), with the superpower to manipulate fire, Jonathan Stone, the Human Torch, who resembled America's curvy man in the original movie.

It's worth mentioning that these four don't actually look like the movie version—perhaps because the Captain America of this universe already resembles Chris Evans, making it seem very strange for a successor to have that face.

In fact, besides Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four, Mason could also see several helicopters flying around in the distant night sky. It was obvious that S.H.I.E.L.D. or the US military were conducting remote filming. There were even at least four or five satellites pointed at this spot. In every sense, it was quite a show of force.

"Hmm... quite a lot of people have come."

Mason glanced around at the crowd that had moved closer to him but maintained a certain distance, and smiled, "I don't think I need to explain what's going on, do I?"

"Based on the testimony of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Reed, the Mr. Fantastic, said somewhat hesitantly, "You rescued the patients when they were held hostage by Hand ninjas at Hyde Medical Center."

In fact, he had already seen the video sent by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who broke into the hospital on his way there. Even someone as knowledgeable as him rarely saw a large number of corpses piled up like garbage outside of a battlefield. Even if it was for self-defense, ordinary people would not use such cruel methods and then act as if nothing had happened afterward.

Even someone as emotionally unintelligent as Reed could tell that this was definitely not a decent person.

The incident happened so suddenly that he was forced into the situation by S.H.I.E.L.D. with almost no preparation. As a result, Mr. Fantastic, nicknamed "Mr. Fantastic the Conman" by the public, was greatly weakened and could only rely on his superpowers.

The enemy (questionable) is a being with firepower capable of destroying a city and physical strength as strong as the Hulk, while our side consists of... a man whose body can stretch, a man as hard as stone, a man who can breathe fire, and a woman who can become invisible. No matter how you look at it, it exudes an aura of suicide missions...

But there's no other way; heroes can't desert their posts—if they don't step up, we'll have to rely on the useless agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the FBI.

So, like Tony, Shengun De, who had read all the relevant materials on the way, was naturally quite nervous. Although he didn't feel like he was going to a funeral, he did feel a sense of tragic grandeur, like when he faced Doctor Doom back then. He had a feeling that "maybe we brothers will die here today."

"Hmm...it's actually quite fair."

Mason shrugged. "I thought I was going to hear something like 'the fleet and missile bases are already targeting this place.' That's just how the US always is, isn't it?"

"Haha..."

Upon hearing this, Tony chuckled twice: "That's undeniable—until a few years ago, the military still operated this way."

He was referring to the battle between the Hulk and Abomination in New York City five years ago.

Unlike the relatively minor skirmishes in the movie, this Hulk in the universe is closer to his comic book counterpart. In less than ten minutes of fighting Abomination, he caused what felt like a massive earthquake in Brooklyn. His boundless rage, even after tearing his enemies to shreds, did not subside—resulting in the US military becoming the target of his rage. The Marine Corps' rapid reaction force was easily crushed like ants, and the Army's tanks were barely more durable than soda cans. The concentrated bombing was useless except for giving the Hulk a buff. Only after utterly crushing the dignity of the world's superpower did Dr. Banner finally regain his senses and voluntarily leave the Americas.

After that, the U.S. military changed its approach to dealing with powerful superhumans—if a conflict breaks out on home soil and the other side seems to have the potential for communication, they should try not to provoke the other side and, if possible, cooperate with reliable professionals (referring to superheroes who have been around for a while and have made clear achievements) to let them solve the problem first.

There's no other way; we're just too scared to fight. Fighting a superhuman who can smash a building with a single punch would have an extremely negative impact on the economy, morale, and public opinion. The more we do, the more mistakes we make. So, lying down and letting ourselves be beaten isn't such a bad option.

However, Mason naturally couldn't find this information on the public internet. He was currently surprised that it wasn't a group of soldiers pointing guns at him—after all, that's how it's usually portrayed in Marvel movies. After the protagonist defeats the enemy in his first debut, for whatever reason, he will gain the hostility of the police or even the military, and from then on, he can only wear a hood when he goes out on the street.

For Mason, he wasn't particularly interested in wearing tight-fitting clothes to fight crime—of course, it wouldn't be a problem if he could make the look cool, but overall, his personal interests lay in something else entirely.

In other words, they are the kind of people who do things more freely and are not restricted by too many rules and regulations... no, to be precise, they are the kind of people who are only restricted by their own will.

Two days of investigation gave him a general understanding of the world. This world has a lot of superheroes from his memories, but even with so many heroes, it is impossible to make the world a better place. In fact, because of the existence of supernatural powers, Earth's civilization has experienced several near-extinction crises.

This isn't about blaming anyone. After all, even superheroes aren't omnipotent. You can't expect more from a group of good people who go out on calls every day just because of their good intentions, and who are often injured or even killed in battles against villains. There is never a "best" in the world, only "better".

Now that he could not afford to waste this rare half-hour Super Beast experience card, Mason planned to do something that could be described as earth-shattering in the remaining ten minutes.

"However, there's no point in saying all this, is there?"

Mason deliberately gave a smile that was somewhere between pity and helplessness, and then slowly said, "Anyway... you're about to disappear from this universe."
