American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 170 Dispute

The soldiers in the army watched helplessly as their hangar collapsed instantly, and it wasn't just a simple sinkhole; the entire hangar became flat, making it impossible to tell what kind of fighter jets had ever been stored inside.

"No!!!"

The leader's roar echoed from within the base, and a surveillance camera recorded everything. The video was quickly transmitted to Krakwa Island, and when the island's high command saw it, Ai Yi immediately released it, letting many people know a little about it.

These mutants are no joke.

"The rest is up to you to handle."

Li Buying, who seemed to have exerted little effort, stretched slightly and then went down from the rooftop. Seeing this, the crowd stopped gathering around and headed to the temporary office to discuss how to make the announcement.

……

Meanwhile, Tony, who was adjusting his armor, learned of the outcome of the incident from Jarvis. Based on the result, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the actions of the Kingdom of Krakow.

No civilians, oh, maybe no one even died because of this, and a superhero like him has no reason to care about it.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Jarvis suddenly spoke up: "Sir, Mr. Reed Richards would like to have a short meeting with you to discuss the matter of Mr. Li Buying from the Kingdom of Krakow."

Tony stopped typing, raised his eyebrows, and had Jarvis open the communication device. Reed's face appeared on the screen beside him.

"Stark, do you know what just happened?"

"Are you referring to the warning issued by Krakow to the United States? I know."

Tony nodded, and Reed, seeing that he didn't seem to care much, immediately understood his thoughts. The Mr. Fantastic tapped the table in front of him and said, "A mutant who can cause something like a nuclear explosion at any time, you should know how dangerous he is."

"Then just treat him like a nuclear bomb."

Tony's first reaction was to regard Li Buying as a nuclear deterrent weapon of the Krakow State. He felt that Li Buying would not act easily, and this action proved to be true.

But Mr. Fantastic's next words made him frown: "But have you considered that this 'new type of nuclear bomb' can not only produce the destructive power of a nuclear bomb, but also defend against attacks from other nuclear bombs? This will make the power between countries less equal."

"...Excuse me for speaking frankly, but the United States has many people capable of handling nuclear weapons. If we're going to talk about it that way, people like that should all be locked up."

Tony stared at Reed on the screen, giving him a tacit hint, and with Mr. Fantastic's intelligence, he naturally knew what he was implying.

Both of them are capable of creating devices that prevent nuclear bombs from being detonated. If simply being able to defend against nuclear attacks is enough to cause anxiety and fear of disrupting the international situation, then these two would need to be "protected" immediately.

Hearing Iron Man's overt and covert protection, Reed understood that he probably trusted this "Giant Source" more, likely due to the trust he gained from his previous cooperation with the "Weaver".

But Mr. Fantastic did not let his guard down. Despite not having made contact with aliens and having Doctor Doom as his greatest enemy, he still viewed this mutant nation from the perspective of humanity and the United States.

"Maybe so. I hope you're right, and I hope the situation on Earth won't change."

After hanging up the communication, Reed looked at another screen in front of him, which displayed scattered and seemingly useless force field fluctuations. This Mr. Fantastic rarely showed a troubled expression.

He hoped to develop a device to counter Li Buying's attacks through these researches, but the force field fluctuations were extremely chaotic and too weak, making it very difficult to conduct research.

Of course, while the above two reasons would increase the difficulty of the research, they would not cause him too much distress over the replication of Li Buying's attack. What he really found hard to understand was another reason.

The deeper he delved into these force fields, the more he discovered one thing: the data obtained from the research showed that even the same force field exhibited extremely strange changes, each time different, just as the force field emitted by Li Buying could cause the physical laws discovered by mankind to continuously fail.

Mr. Fantastic took a sip of the coffee that was placed to the side. He wasn't panicked by this. After all, he knew about magic, aliens, and gods. It wasn't unacceptable that someone could change the laws of physics.

Looking at the jumbled mess of text in front of him, Reed sighed and stretched out his arm to pull over another computer, which displayed a conversation between him and a doctor named Henry Hank Pym.

Reed is trying to reconcile him with Tony, and then he, himself, Tony, and Bruce will work together to create a super artificial intelligence.

Tony had confirmed that his father seemed to have indeed taken other people's successes for research, so he agreed to apologize to Dr. Pym on his father's behalf. Now it was up to Dr. Pym to decide what to do.

……

The news that a secret military camp's high-end hangar had been wiped out in an instant shocked everyone. Other countries were watching with glee, while the United States became somewhat flustered.

Li Buying watched as the elderly American leader, trembling and limping, strode onto the stage on television and then righteously condemned Krakow's actions. Some residents worried that they might be implicated, and some even began to march in the streets.

The United States was in some chaos, but Li Buying's attention was not on that. His senses were currently focused on Lorna's vicinity, observing whether she could handle the danger.

Lorna Dane, one of the more capable mutants in the country of Krakow, has already gone to a secret research facility to rescue mutants.

A mutant with the ability to put people to sleep subtly induces drowsiness in the guards, causing them to lie down on the ground and fall into a deep sleep and sweet dreams. The action team easily arrives at the gate of the research institute, while Lorna also destroys all the guards' weapons.

Lorna raised her hand and placed it on the alloy door. The door opened quietly, and many mutants sneaked in. A blind man, who was being protected by the other mutants in the center, suddenly spoke up: "Someone on the upper left staircase is still awake. He's heading towards the control room."

Quicksilver disappeared into the crowd, using his abilities to move at high speed. He quickly found the soldier that the sensory mutant had said hadn't fainted, took out a pistol loaded with tranquilizer darts from his waist, and aimed it at the enemy in front of him.

With a gunshot, the bullet pierced the soldier's body, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Quicksilver ran over, pressed down on his hands, and checked his pulse. After confirming that he was really asleep, he returned to his original position and reported to the others.

Soon, the group found the room where the mutants were being held. Even though they had seen it in videos, the sight before them still enraged the team members.
