Superman Marvel Adventures

"No matter what conspiracy there is, we can crack it as long as we work hard!" Captain America said confidently, then jumped out of the open hatch.

"Yes, as expected of the original superhero, he is always full of confidence."

Quicksilver smiled and jumped off the fighter jet with Captain America. Erica and Nite Owl followed suit, but they went to keep an eye on Loki. Captain America and Quicksilver joined the battle between Thor and Iron Man, which frustrated the two who were having a great time fighting, and they eventually had to stop fighting.

This greatly annoyed Quicksilver, who said, "I thought there was going to be a great battle."

Iron Man shrugged and said, "If you want to see my performance, you'd better be prepared to go bankrupt."

Thor simply snorted coldly and remained silent.

Captain America gripped his shield and said calmly, "Have you had enough? If you have, go back. We still need to find the Tesseract and their families."

"Alright, since the captain has said so, let's go back first." Tony saw that there was no way to fight anymore, and his armor was also damaged and needed some repairs, so he didn't refuse.

Thor glanced at Loki, who was still standing on the mountain, and knew that Loki must have some kind of conspiracy. Moreover, he had come to Earth once in a long time and did not want to go back so soon. After all, since he had personally destroyed the Bifrost, it was not an easy thing to come to Earth. Otherwise, Odin would not have sent him to take the Tesseract back.

After everyone reached an agreement, Thor captured Loki and brought him to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Loki was imprisoned in the giant cage originally prepared for the Hulk, while the others gathered together to discuss the next steps.

Erica, Owl, and Quicksilver were allowed to rest by Nick Fury since they didn't need to fight for the time being. Phil Coulson, who had met Thor once before, was responsible for communicating with Thor. Tony himself went to Dr. Banner's side to help him write a program to find gamma rays.

Because Loki's staff has some of the same gamma ray frequencies as the Tesseract, Dr. Banner placed it in the lab for scanning and research. Meanwhile, Tony helped the doctor write programs while having Jarvis hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s systems to see what S.H.I.E.L.D. was up to and why they were afraid to let his brother know.

Tony's methods and dry humor were somewhat displeasing to the highly disciplined Captain America. In addition, Tony's admission that he was hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s computers angered Captain America. However, Dr. Banner told him that S.H.I.E.L.D. was not trustworthy, which made Captain America hesitate and decide to investigate the matter himself.

In this moment of mutual distrust, the gem at the top of Loki's staff suddenly began to release a strange magnetic field. This magnetic field became the fuse for infighting within the temporary team, and a fierce argument ensued. As a result, they were completely unaware that Hawkeye, controlled by Loki, was leading Daredevil, the Punisher, and some troops to directly infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier.

Caught off guard, the carrier was thrown into chaos. Two of its four massive engines were destroyed by the intruders, and the carrier began to fall.

Chapter 295 Chaos and Calls for Help

Chaos reigned over S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. While commanders like Nick Fury and other top-tier heroes were struggling to keep up with Loki's staff, Hawkeye, along with the Punisher and others, infiltrated the Helicarrier, sabotaging its two main engines and causing it to lose its balance and begin to plummet.

Inside the laboratory where Tony and his team were, chaos had broken out because a missile had just struck their location. Fortunately, none of the people in the laboratory, except for Dr. Banner, were ordinary people. They reacted quickly enough that no one was injured. Only Dr. Banner and Black Widow fell to the floor below.

Captain America pulled Tony up and asked, "Hey, are you alright? I think you should put your armor on."

“I think you’re right this time.” Tony sighed and said, “You go deal with those guys, and I don’t need to worry about this.”

"Be careful." Captain America knew the situation was urgent, so he didn't hesitate and ran out immediately, because there were still a bunch of people waiting for him to deal with.

With a whoosh, Quicksilver appeared in front of Tony and asked, "What on earth happened? We're over 10,000 meters away."

"There's no time for explanations now." Tony's eyes lit up when he saw Quicksilver. "Can you get me to my armor?"

"Oh? Where is it? I'm not familiar with this area." Quicksilver didn't refuse, but instead asked Tony, "Do you have a map or anything like that?"

“Of course.” Tony pointed to the watch-like device on his wrist, opened the holographic map, pointed to a red dot on it, and said, “Look, it’s right here.”

"Okay, Quicksilver is about to leave, passengers hold on tight!" Quicksilver laughed, grabbed Tony by the neck, and vanished in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already in the hangar where Tony stored his Iron Man armor.

“Oh, that’s pretty fast.” Tony suppressed the urge to vomit and turned to Quicksilver, saying, “But I still suggest you don’t become Quicksilver, because everyone has to go to the hospital after getting off the train, which is not worth it at all.”

"Then you can only blame your body for not being strong enough." Quicksilver curled his lip and said, "Alright, I'll go help now."

"Go, go, I have to make this guy stop right now, or we'll all die in a plane crash." After saying that, Tony walked to the Iron Man suit and, with the help of the mechanical arm, put on his suit, transforming from playboy Tony Stark into the superhero Iron Man.

"Alright, you'd better keep it up. I'm still young and don't want to die yet." Quicksilver smiled slightly and disappeared once again.

“Okay, he’s gone. We need to get back to work, Jarvis!” Tony said calmly.

“Yes, sir, but are you sure you don’t want to notify Mr. Adam?” Jarvis asked immediately.

"At this point, how can we not inform them?" Tony shook his head and said, "Inform Athena about the situation here. It seems that Loki has alien military support. The thing that my brother has been worried about has finally happened."

“Okay, sir, I’ll send the information to Athena immediately.” Jarvis said, then sent the information to Athena’s server and began assisting Tony.

-------------------------

Geostationary orbit, inside the observation tower.

Because they had been working tirelessly on anti-space jump technology for a long time, Adam and Christine were still resting. Although they were not physically tired, they were mentally exhausted. So they were unaware of what had happened that night.

As for Athena, because she harbored some resentment towards S.H.I.E.L.D., she pretended not to notice what happened on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had Tony inform her. However, this time, due to the urgency of the situation, after receiving Tony's message, Athena immediately woke up Adam and Christine and gave them a detailed report on what happened on Earth.

"So, Loki was already on Earth when S.H.I.E.L.D.'s spatial fluctuations occurred last time?" Adam frowned and said, "These guys are really giving me trouble."

Upon hearing this, Christine said, "Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. Tony said the Helicarrier has started to crash, we need to hurry."

After hearing this, Adam said, "Athena, prepare the teleportation array and then immediately activate the second combat readiness mode. Be ready in the Manhattan area. I think that given Loki's arrogant personality, he will definitely choose Tony's Stark Tower as the invasion site."

"Since you've already guessed Loki's next move, why let him succeed?" Athena asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'm going to cripple those guys who are eyeing Earth, otherwise, even if we stop them this time, they'll come back for it next time. There's an old Chinese saying, 'You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.' We can't keep playing it safe forever!" Adam said in a deep voice.

“Yes, Master, I will take control personally and will not let any intruder escape.” Athena nodded and said.

"Also, notify the X-Men and the Fantastic Four that Earth needs their help!" Adam pondered for a moment and said, "Also, send a message to the Manhattan police department to prepare for the evacuation of citizens, but don't cause a city-wide upheaval, otherwise the casualties may be even higher."

"I understand, Master. The teleportation array has been activated and we can proceed with the teleportation!" Athena replied after hearing Adam's words.

“Alright, Christine, let’s go!” Adam said, and he and Christine went to the teleportation room, disappearing in a burst of blue light.

The next moment, Adam and Christine appeared above the falling carrier, which had descended to a very dangerous height, and a golden-red figure was propelling it from the propeller of an external engine.

Upon seeing this, Adam said, "Christine, you're in charge of supporting the Helicarrier. I'll go rescue that reckless guy. Honestly, he doesn't even think before he acts."

Christine smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you say that your father's motto was 'Do before you think'?"

Adam shrugged and said nothing, then immediately descended to the side of the golden-red figure and violently dismantled the engine to rescue Tony.

"Hey bro, what are you doing? I finally got this thing spinning and you just took it apart like this," Tony said, somewhat exasperated.

"Are you out of your mind?" Adam angrily scolded Tony, saying, "Don't you know that in a moment you'll be sucked into the engine? This thing on you can't protect you."

“Captain America is waiting over there, he’s about to pull the trigger and let me out.” Tony watched as Adam flew to the base of the Helicarrier and braced it with both hands, slowing its descent until it finally came to a stop. He swallowed hard and said, “Okay, okay. I knew it would turn out like this.”

"Sir, the armor has suffered varying degrees of damage. If you continue to use it, you might be the next one to crash," Jarvis suddenly warned Tony.

“Okay, I’ll head back now. I have a big battle to participate in later,” Tony said immediately. Then he contacted Adam and said, “Brother, there’s a problem with the armor. I’ll go back and fix it.”

After hearing this, Adam said, "Alright, you can go back now. Christine just contacted me. The enemies inside the Helicarrier have been cleared out. I'll put the Helicarrier into the sea now, and then I'll come find you."

Tony breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the enemies had been eliminated, and said, "So Loki really has escaped?"

"They were already gone when we arrived. You should rest for a bit; the real battle is just beginning." Adam said to Tony as he slowly lowered the Helicarrier. "By the way, your Stark Tower might need some renovations. I bet Loki might open a portal on the top floor; that'll be the battlefield!"

Chapter 296 The Battle of New York (Part 1)

"What? That son of a bitch!"

Tony was furious when he heard that his newly built Stark Tower might become the place where Loki opened the portal to another dimension. He knew that, given the arrogant and conceited nature of that evil god, it was indeed possible that he would do such a thing. But it was precisely because he knew that this was possible that he was so angry. This building was something he had demolished and rebuilt from his original company building, which had taken him a lot of time and effort.

Tony knew it was pointless to say anything now, so he nodded to Adam and flew into the Helicarrier. He saw that order had been restored inside, and in the command center, he saw Nick Fury and Christine sitting there with frosty expressions.

"Ha, so you two are here." Tony said with a forced, relaxed smile.

Upon seeing this, Christine smiled slightly and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Tony removed the spy camera from his armor and said, "Look, I'm fine now, ready to fight that damn guy to the death."

“You’re really brave. You knew your brother didn’t like aliens, yet you kept it a secret.” Christine glanced at Nick Fury with a half-smile, then said to Tony, “If your brother had intervened, Loki wouldn’t have escaped, and there wouldn’t have been so many casualties.”

"Alright, now's not the time for this. Athena has sent a message: a portal has appeared in the sky above Manhattan, New York." Adam floated in from outside, looked at the two of them, and said, "Although they've made some arrangements over there, we can't waste time here. Tony, call your team over, let's go!"

"What, my team?" Tony asked, somewhat puzzled. Then he said, "Oh, you mean those people? That's Nick Fury's own superhero team. I'm just their security consultant. He even said I wasn't qualified!"

Just then, Captain America, Rogers Steve, walked in from outside, fully armed, and said to Tony and the others, "I've assembled everyone, and I'm heading to Manhattan, New York. Do you want to come?"

"Hey, Captain, looks like you're really angry this time." Tony, seeing Captain America, didn't mock him as he usually did. Instead, he nodded amicably and said in a deep voice, "Then let's take revenge on that evil god who was spoiled by his brother and family!"

"I knew you'd say that. Maybe Superman and Sun Goddess, you two are here to help too?" Captain America said with a smile.

"Hey, who do you think saved everyone on the Helicarrier?" Tony chuckled.

Adam waved his hand to stop Tony from speaking, then said to Captain America, "Captain, since we've decided to launch an attack, let them gather here. The Sun Goddess knows a shortcut!"

"They have teleportation technology; I'll help you notify them."

Seeing Captain America's puzzled expression, Nick Fury realized that Captain America might not know about the Justice League's teleportation technology. He immediately spoke up and instructed the liaison to notify the other superheroes to assemble in the command center.

"I heard you calling me!" Quicksilver was the first to appear in the command room. When he saw Adam and Christine in the command room, he exclaimed, "Wow, Superman! It really is Superman! I've always heard people talk about you and I've always wanted to test my leg strength against you. I heard you beat Mr. Maxim?"

Adam smiled slightly and said, "I haven't competed with your teacher, but can you walk on the sea at your current speed?"

“Walking on the sea? Hmm, I’ve never tried that before,” Quicksilver said, stroking his chin. “It’s a challenge worth trying. I’ll find you as soon as I’m done!”

As they were talking, Black Widow and the others arrived at the command room. Erica, Black Widow, and Night Owl had already rescued their relatives or friends from the control of the evil god, so they entered the command room with a strong sense of resentment.

"What on earth happened? We were just about to set off to teach that damn evil god a lesson!" The hot-tempered Punisher stormed in, then paused when he saw Adam, saying, "So Superman is here too."

"It seems being controlled by someone is quite unpleasant." Adam smiled slightly, showing no emotional fluctuation even upon seeing Black Widow. Finally, seeing that everyone had gathered, he said, "Alright, it's time to set off. Loki and his army are waiting for us in New York City."

Erica put an arm around Daredevil and asked, "Can your teleportation technology teleport so many people at once?"

"Don't worry about that," Christine smiled slightly and said, "The teleportation array is already activated. Please get ready, the teleportation will begin soon!"

"What? The teleportation has already started?" Quicksilver looked around and said, "Shouldn't legendary teleportation arrays involve drawing a diagram or activating some kind of machinery?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Quicksilver found that the scenery around him had completely changed. He was just inside the steel warship, and the next moment he was in the bustling city of New York with blue skies, white clouds and skyscrapers. Of course, a huge hole had appeared in the sky above New York City, and countless alien armies were invading the earth from that hole.

Although the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and others were already resisting and eliminating the aliens, the sheer number of troops Loki brought was overwhelming and utterly ineffective.

"The situation is not good, everyone, let's move out!" Adam said calmly, looking at the scene outside.

"Dude, I need to get a new suit of armor. The weapon system on this one is broken; it only has energy cannons and the like," Tony said immediately when he saw that he had arrived in Manhattan, New York City.

"I'll go with you."

Adam glanced at Stark Tower and saw Loki, the god of mischief, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a room on the top floor, smiling broadly as if enjoying the spoils of his war.

"What's wrong?" Tony asked, frowning.

"You have guests." Adam smiled and hovered in mid-air. "You can form a team to intercept the aliens. Okay, they're Chitauri. I'll go take care of that guy. Sun Goddess, go see if you can close that spacetime portal!"

After giving his instructions, Adam left the rooftop with Tony and went to Stark Tower. He then winked at Tony, signaling him to come in, and slowly floated into Tony's lounge, standing in front of Loki.

"Wow, isn't this Superman?" After seeing such a powerful figure, Loki no longer felt the same fear towards Superman as before. Instead, he chuckled lightly, "What wind blew you, a god among men, here with me?"

“If I remember correctly, this should be my brother’s private property,” Adam asked casually.

"Oh, that's right, but after tonight everything on Earth will be mine. I'm just enjoying what I deserve ahead of time." Loki glanced at the staff in his hand, raised his head, and spoke with great confidence.

"Ha, I knew you were an arrogant fellow the last time I saw you," Adam sneered. "What gives you such audacity? That staff in your hand?"
