Superman Marvel Adventures

“Adam Stark!” Secretary of State Rick looked at Adam and said very seriously, “Please leave. This is a matter between our US government and the Avengers. You are an outsider and should not interfere!”

"I'm an outsider? Hmph, what a joke." Adam scoffed, "Is this how you treat heroes who have saved the Earth several times?"

"They did save the world, that's true, but weren't those crises caused by their existence? Hydra and aliens were both observing the world from the shadows. If it weren't for these freaks, how could they have come out and caused trouble!" Secretary of State Rick shouted. "It's you freaks who, for your own vanity, put on tight suits and wander around, making society what it is today."

The US Secretary of State's statement infuriated many in the audience. They could have chosen not to do this; they could have earned money or enjoyed life through their own abilities. But they didn't. A voice within them told them to protect the world they lived in—that was the reason they acquired their abilities, and they did just that. And now someone was telling them that everything they did was unrecognized? What a joke!

“What a repulsive expression,” Adam said coldly, looking at the Secretary of State.

Chapter 394 The Great Explosion of Viana

To force the Avengers to comply with the government's arrangements, U.S. Secretary of State Rick Carter arrived at Avengers Tower with a copy of the Scovia Accords and began his speech. Just then, Adam descended from the sky and interrupted him.

"Brother, please don't cause trouble." Tony said somewhat reluctantly at this moment.

"What? You're saying I'm causing trouble?" Adam asked, somewhat incredulously.

“Yes, that’s what I mean. After all, this is Avengers Tower.” Tony kept his head down and didn’t look Adam in the eye. “There are some things you don’t know.”

"I didn't know? What was the Battle of New York all about? Wasn't it because they wanted to use the Tesseract to make weapons that they launched the alien invasion? They were behind almost every single one of these events. Why did it take you so long to eliminate Hydra? Wasn't it because the US government wanted those scientists? You could say it's all their fault, but now they're dumping it all on us? Hmph, sorry, we're not taking the blame!" Adam said angrily.

“What you’re saying is true, but ultimately it’s because we’re doing what the government should be doing, but we’re shirking the consequences. A lot of things are telling us that the actions of superheroes must be monitored!” Tony jumped up and shouted.

"And if I don't accept?" Adam said coldly, "Will you help him arrest me?"

Adam pointed to Secretary of State Rick, who was watching the play.

“Of course we won’t arrest you, Mr. Adam. After all, you’re not just a superhero. Of course, as long as you promise us you won’t interfere in what the government should be doing,” Secretary of State Rick interjected.

"You want me to retire?" Adam's eyes flashed dangerously as he coldly asked, "Are you sure? Or do the big shots behind you no longer need our help?"

“Without us, bro, you can only represent yourself now. The Justice League is a thing of the past, and its disbandment proves that your ideas were wrong.” Tony said bluntly at this moment, “You’ve been gone for a year, and there are many things you don’t understand, so please leave first.”

Adam was taken aback and asked, "You want me to leave?"

“That’s right, this is our internal meeting.” Tony knew that if he let his older brother get involved, things might become irreversible, and coupled with the mental pressure he had been under, he couldn’t care less about anything else at this moment.

"Fine, just don't regret it. From now on, your affairs are none of my business!" Adam stared at Tony for a long time before slowly saying this, and then let Athena take him away.

All of this was witnessed by the other heroes present. They all knew that Tony Stark had made up his mind to sign the Scovia Accords, and the Secretary of State's tone was still so arrogant: if you don't sign, you can retire, or you'll be arrested.

To be honest, these superheroes originally came to help others out of pure passion, and after hearing what Tony and the government representatives said, some of them were already considering giving up.

“I’ve fought for the government my whole life. It seems it’s time to go back and enjoy my retirement.” The first to speak was Hawkeye, an elite agent who had been in the business for a long time and now had the perfect opportunity to retire from the front lines.

"Okay, I agree!" Tony didn't say a word to stop him after hearing this, and immediately said, "Go and get some rest."

"Okay, add me to the list. I've already retired." Falcon was a little angry at the situation. Before Captain America could say anything, he stood up and said, "This is no longer the place I know. I'd rather go home and rest than stay here."

“Mr. Wilson, you may leave, but Falcon’s equipment must remain,” the Secretary of State said immediately upon hearing that Falcon was leaving.

Falcon scoffed and said to Tony, "Do you know any of this?"

"He probably just doesn't want you to continue using Falcon equipment." Tony was now determined to get everyone to sign the Scovia Accords. If you didn't sign, you could retire.

"Hmph, sorry, that's my personal property. Well, to use this playboy's famous words, it's just a high-intelligence prosthetic limb. Of course, if you try to take it by force, I think I'll fight back!" Falcon said firmly.

At this moment, Black Widow spoke up: "Alright, everyone calm down. Steve, do you have anything to say?"

Captain America paused for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, I'm thinking about something else."

Just then, Captain America's phone vibrated. He opened it and saw a text message that read...

Captain America knew very well who 'she' was; it was his first love and one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Carter. Because of a cruel twist of fate, Captain America had been sleeping in the ice for over 7 years, and Carter had transformed from a graceful young woman into a kind old lady. Well, at this point, this old lady was outdated.

Captain America felt a pang of regret, realizing that he had missed the chance to see her one last time because of this strange incident.

"Sorry, I have something to attend to." He couldn't bear to continue this absurd meeting any longer, so he apologized to everyone and immediately left.

"Hey, Steve, hi!" Tony called out a few times, but Captain America ignored him and left. He got a little annoyed and said, "Okay, I know what you mean."

Seeing the chaotic scene, the US Secretary of State smiled knowingly and then said to Tony Stark, "Well, it seems that today's meeting cannot continue. However, whether you like it or not, the Scovia Agreement will be signed in Vienna in a few days, presided over by the King of Wakanda. I hope you can go and see it."

The meeting ended on a sour note. Tony, not hesitating to hurt his brother's feelings, ended the meeting he wanted to continue. All the superheroes had left; some went straight home, and they might never come back.

Sitting in the empty conference room, Tony felt somewhat lost. He didn't know why these people didn't understand him. He didn't want things to be this way either, but lately, whenever he closed his eyes, he would always think of the people who died in Scotia. They would always appear in Tony's dreams, demanding his life.

Time flew by, and the Scovia Agreement signing ceremony was widely publicized globally. In order to ensure the security of the meeting venue, multiple countries jointly launched a special operation.

On this day, only Black Widow represented the Avengers at the meeting. She had only recently learned of the death of Captain America's former lover. As for the others, they all said they did not want to attend the meeting, even Tony said he had a headache and did not want to participate.

Left with no other choice, Black Widow came alone. And of course, she encountered someone she had met during a mission when S.H.I.E.L.D. was still around: Prince T'Challa of Wakanda. She spoke to him briefly, and seeing the King of Wakanda approach, Black Widow returned to her seat.

The meeting began with the King of Wakanda giving a brief introduction, followed by a lengthy discussion of future prospects, the hardships faced by the Kingdom of Wakanda, and so on. Of course, all of this revolved around the issue of the need to keep the super heroes under supervision.

Just then, T'Challa seemed to sense something, left his seat and went to the window. He then saw a police dog barking wildly at his location. Sensing something was wrong, he was about to shout when he heard a huge explosion that sent him flying.

An explosion occurred at the Scovia Agreement signing ceremony, and the King of Wakanda was killed instantly because he was very close to the bomb! After the teams from various countries analyzed the nearby surveillance footage, everything pointed to one person, Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, who was someone Captain America cared about.

Captain America has just lost his first love, and now the only person he seems to care about is Bucky. It's safe to say that whoever orchestrated this conspiracy has done extensive analysis of Captain America and the Avengers; every move they make is aimed directly at the heart of the matter! 8

Chapter 395 Division I

Inside the watchtower, Adam was sitting in the command room, watching the news, which was about the explosion at the Vienna Conference. He didn't seem angry at all.

"There's definitely something fishy going on in this," Adam said calmly.

"Yes, a place that should have been heavily guarded was actually bombed, and it just so happens to have killed the initiator of this meeting. Heh, how interesting," Athena sneered.

"Can we find that guy? I mean, the guy who impersonated the Winter Soldier?" Adam asked.

“I’m sorry, Master, the other party doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person. He knows very well how to hide himself. Apart from deliberately showing a small part of his face on the camera, there’s no way to determine who he is,” Athena said, shaking her head.

“Okay, as long as we know this is targeting the Avengers, nothing will happen as long as we keep an eye on them,” Adam said after a slight pause.

“Alright, since Master has said so, I will keep a close eye on the Avengers. However, I have noticed that after the last meeting, the Avengers have vaguely split into two,” Athena said, frowning.

“We don’t need to worry about this anymore, Athena. I’ve already made up my mind,” Adam suddenly said.

"You've decided? Decided on what?" Athena asked curiously.

"After this is over, I'll leave Earth, go find Christine, and never come back," Adam sighed.

"Not coming back?" Athena asked in surprise, "Is it possible that Master is giving up everything he has achieved over the years just because of such a small setback?"

“It’s not because of setbacks, but because I realized I might have made a mistake before.” Adam shook his head slightly and said, “I originally thought that helping humanity resist those evil superpowered individuals and helping them resist aliens would lead to this strange idea of ​​wanting to wipe out all the superpowered individuals without encountering any crisis.”

"What does Master mean?" Athena asked, somewhat confused.

"Without a great enemy, Earthlings will never be able to unite to resist external enemies. Trapped on this small planet, indulging in wishful thinking, believing that Earth is the center of the universe, and so arrogant as to think that there are no other intelligent beings in the entire universe besides humans, hmph, if this continues, I think one day humanity may be destroyed by its own hands," Adam said calmly.

After Adam finished speaking, he ignored Athena, who was stunned by his words, and slowly walked to the window, looking at the distant blue planet in silence for a long time.

temporary command post near the meeting venue

The prince of Wakanda, well, okay, because his father died, he is already the king. That's how it is in feudal countries. You don't need the common people's permission to become a king. As long as your father dies, you naturally become the king since you have no other competitors. Of course, the situation in Wakanda is more special because the kings here are the protectors of the country.

T'Challa sat there sadly, feeling guilty as he thought about how his father had died right in front of him and how he had been unable to do anything about it. He should have known that this meeting would be watched by those with ulterior motives, after all, it was a meeting that would change history.

Just then, a soldier walked over from the other side and said to Black Widow, "Sir, we have found the residence of the suspect Bucky."

"Where?" Black Widow asked.

“He was once found in the Romanian capital, but that’s all the information we have,” the soldier replied, handing an envelope to the Black Widow.

"Okay, you can go now." Black Widow held the envelope in her hand, but her mind was still on her previous conversation with Captain America.

Just after confirming that Bucky was responsible for the incident, she received a call from Captain America, who expressed his hope that only the Avengers would intervene and that the government would not get involved. But was that possible? With various countries eyeing the Avengers, it was simply impossible. Therefore, Black Widow tried to persuade Captain America, but he still wouldn't listen.

'Perhaps he's already in the past,' Black Widow thought.

"Do you know where the Winter Soldier is?" A voice suddenly interrupted Black Widow's meeting. It was T'Challa. Because of his superhuman abilities, he overheard the conversation between Black Widow and the soldier.

“Yes, we’ve found him. Once we catch him, we’ll give you an explanation,” Black Widow said to T’Challa.

"Really? He's there?" Although he had only vaguely heard some of it, T'Challa asked again, just to be on the safe side.

Since she didn't know the specialty store's true intentions, Black Widow easily told him.

“It’s in the capital of Romania, but we need to confirm the exact location,” Black Widow said.

"Okay, I understand." T'Challa nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Black Widow remained unsuspecting and stayed to handle the aftermath. Although the Winter Soldier was powerful, he was still just one person. The soldiers had all been enhanced by Adam's enhancement potion. Although they might not be as strong as the Winter Soldier due to the dilution, with so many of them together, there was no need to worry about not being able to capture him.

Just as Black Widow had imagined, the members of the allied forces found the Winter Soldier's hiding place and almost captured him. However, due to the interference of Captain America and Falcon, the Winter Soldier and the others ultimately escaped.

Upon hearing this news, Black Widow's first thought was that things were going to get bad. Sure enough, a few hours later, she received a call from US Secretary of State Rick, asking her to come and see her old friend. Because of the Iron Patriots' intervention, Captain America and the others had been arrested by the German intelligence headquarters.

When Black Widow arrived at a German special forces headquarters, she found Tony Stark standing there looking like he'd eaten shit. He simply waved at her and went back to talking on the phone.

"What happened?" Black Widow asked as she walked over. "Where are they?"

"They're still heading this way. Hmm, this is a big problem. They've decided to sue Rogers. I hope so, because then I won't have to worry," Tony said, sounding exasperated.

"Alright, I understand. I know you won't let them sue," Black Widow said with a slight smile.

"I hope you can still smile later," Tony said irritably. "I was only gone for a short while, and so much has already happened."

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Rogers to do this," Black Widow said apologetically.

"Come on, we all knew this would happen." Tony scoffed. "The best thing to do now is to get him to sign that damn agreement so we can all go home and rest."

“You know Rogers won’t sign,” Black Widow said, shaking her head.

“So, I’m hoping I can influence him.” Tony had just finished speaking when his phone started ringing again. He glanced at it and said, “Damn it, it’s those guys again. Okay, you go and bring them in. Hopefully, those Germans won’t make things difficult for this old friend. I’ll take this call.”

Black Widow sighed upon seeing this, glanced at the screen on her left and saw that Captain America and the others had already been brought over, so she got up and walked towards them. She hadn't walked far before she saw Rogers and the others arrive.

“Hey, this time we’re in big trouble.” Black Widow frowned and said, “You shouldn’t have resisted. Bucky is a suspect, but he’s just a suspect. We can’t just arrest him without doing anything.”

"Sorry, I saw them fire. This isn't the arrest you mentioned." Captain America showed no remorse. Based on their previous conversation, he believed Bucky wasn't the murderer because Bucky had saved his life. He believed Bucky had regained his memory and couldn't possibly continue committing evil. The real mastermind must be someone else.

Chapter 396 Split 2

Inside the Watchtower, Adam and Athena continued to monitor the Avengers' situation, while also investigating the truth behind these events. Although they hadn't found anything yet, this very fact led Adam and Athena to believe it was a massive conspiracy, potentially targeting the Avengers, themselves, or even the entire human race.

"Master, we still can't contact Professor X and the others. It seems we have to go there," Athena said, frowning.
