Superman Marvel Adventures

"So, Adam is back?" Phoenix asked.

"Yes, Master has returned, but he is very tired and has gone to rest. Please don't disturb him." After Athena finished speaking, she turned and left.

Logan breathed a sigh of relief after Athena left and asked, "How did you know Adam had returned?"

“Judging from her tone earlier, if Adam hadn’t returned, none of them would have had a chance to wake up.” Phoenix shook her head slightly and said, “Alright, let’s settle them down first, then get some rest. I suddenly realize that even I am almost exhausted. It’s not too late to go find Adam tomorrow.”

Logan looked at the students and teachers who had gradually woken up and nodded slightly, saying, "Alright, let Adam get some rest."

============Sun House==========

Adam removed his clothes and lay on the crystal bed in the Sun House, wearing only his underwear. He quietly absorbed the energy transmitted through the divine runes of the gods. His body trembled slightly with each breath, and he continuously expelled green, purple, or even black mist from his body. These were some harmful substances that Adam had inhaled at the nuclear explosion site.

"Looks like this really is a nuclear bomb designed to target me." Adam lay there, watching the mist constantly emanating from his body, his brow furrowed slightly. "But where did they get such advanced technology from?"

"What is Master thinking about?" Athena suddenly appeared in the room, sat down next to Adam, and asked him.

"I'm wondering, what exactly is going on with all these technologies?" Adam smiled slightly at Athena and then said, "In just one year, with Earth's own technological level, it's impossible to create something so powerful. But one after another, all sorts of technologies and robots have appeared."

"Does Master suspect that someone from outside Earth has interfered?" Athena asked after a moment's thought.

“One hundred percent!” Adam replied without hesitation.

"Ah, such a high degree of confidence?" Athena asked, somewhat puzzled by Adam's confidence.

"Actually, if you just think about it, you might not be able to figure it out. But if you consider what has happened in the past year, it's not hard to imagine that a group of aliens are trying to weaken Earth's strength in this way, especially in terms of capabilities." Adam continued to express his speculation, saying, "Look, now not only those villains but also those heroes have been dealt with by the government."

“After Master’s analysis, it seems that’s really the case. The strength of the mutants on Earth has become very weak. If Master hadn’t discovered the mutant crisis in time, all of them would have been wiped out by the government. If aliens invade at this time, Earth will be powerless to fight back.” Athena nodded slightly and said.

“But we can’t investigate now, since our relationship with the government has become completely hostile,” Adam sighed.

"I'm sorry, Master. If I hadn't fired the nuclear missile, things might not have turned out this way," Athena apologized.

“It’s not your fault, and you don’t need to apologize. Even without this incident, the relationship between the government and us was already hostile when they attacked the Justice League and the Human Power Management Association,” Adam said, holding Athena’s hand and comforting her.

"So, what should we do now?" Athena asked.

“Go find Tony. Perhaps he’s the only one who can investigate this matter for us right now,” Adam said calmly.

“Tony? Oh, right, speaking of your brother, I think I received some messages before, but I forgot about them because of you.” Athena said, looking at the messages Tony had sent, and was immediately shocked. “Oh my god, they haven’t stopped these past few days.”

"Oh, what happened?" Adam asked curiously.

“Tony has called us for help, saying that five elite soldiers, like the Winter Soldier, are about to awaken,” Athena told Adam.

"Oh, what are the rest of the Avengers doing? Winter Soldier doesn't seem very strong either." Adam frowned and said, "Could it be that they've also fallen victim to the government's machinations?"

"Because of some events, the Avengers have also split up." Athena immediately went to investigate the matter concerning the Avengers, and then told Adam the whole story.

"Sure enough, the government is behind this too. Hmph, a bomb was planted at a heavily guarded meeting, and a fake psychologist managed to infiltrate a country's special forces base. Who are they trying to fool?" After learning what had happened, Adam sneered, "But these people are really something. They completely exploited Tony and Captain America's psychology, manipulating these self-important superheroes like puppets."

"So, what does Master decide to do?" Athena asked.

Adam sighed, stood up, and said, "Of course we have to go. After all, he's my brother."

"Just walk right past like that?" Athena asked, puzzled.

"What could terrify the world more than someone like me? Hmph, their most powerful weapon is the nuclear bomb, isn't it? Even a nuclear bomb can't kill me, I'd like to see what else they want!" Adam said calmly.

“Master, I’ll go too,” Athena said to Adam.

"No, I'll go alone this time. You'll need to help me gather some information. I believe there's nothing in this world you can't find," Adam said calmly. "I want you to investigate what gives governments the confidence to deal with these superheroes and mutants, and what gives them the confidence to face aliens!"

Chapter 419 The Siberian Campaign (Part 1)

After learning that Tony had gone to Siberia alone, Adam, regardless of how much of his strength he had recovered, still prepared to go there to help. After all, Tony Stark wasn't just his brother; he was now his only connection to the entire Earth. Without him, Adam might have already left this world to find Christine.

He picked up the repaired suit and put it on. Although he had decided not to be a superhero on Earth anymore, the suit was of great significance to him, so he decided to wear it to Siberia to rescue his brother. As for what would happen next, he would have to decide based on the attitude of the governments of various countries, even though he had already asked Athena to investigate the alien hiding behind the government.

After he put on his uniform and walked out of the Sunroom, he saw Logan and Phoenix waiting outside. The two of them were obviously relieved to see that Adam was safe and sound.

"Phew, you're alright? That's great," Logan said, sounding slightly tired.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, but why haven't you gone to rest yet?" Adam smiled slightly as he looked at Logan.

“We had planned to rest, but Logan was worried about you, so we waited for you here,” Phoenix said with a smile. “How’s your recovery going?”

"My strength has recovered to about 80%, but I'm fine now. I'll continue to recover on the way," Adam said.

"Oh, you're leaving again? What happened?" Logan asked immediately. "If you need our help, don't hesitate. Although I'm a bit tired right now, I'm perfectly fine for fighting."

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, but this matter doesn't require so many people." Adam waved his hand and said, "Besides, you also need to calm the students down and think about their future. You have quite a lot to do."

After hearing Adam's polite refusal, Logan and Phoenix stopped insisting. They said goodbye to Adam and returned to their residence. As for Janata, no one knew where she had gone. Adam hadn't seen her since returning. However, Adam wasn't worried about Janata's safety. After all, she was Galactus's daughter. Although she was still a child, she didn't regret being taken advantage of. Besides, she would come back after she was done, so there was no need to worry.

"Athena, contact Tony and ask him where he is right now," Adam said after they arrived at the teleportation room.

"Yes, Master. We've now escaped the interference zones of various countries on Earth. We should be able to contact them soon." After Athena finished speaking, she immediately tried to contact Tony.

Tony replied very quickly.

"Athena? My brother's back already, right?" Tony asked, slightly relieved.

"Yes, I'm back. Now, tell me, where are you?" Adam asked directly.

“I contacted Hawkeye halfway there, and he gave me the address. I’m already in front of Hydra’s base in Siberia. Captain America and the others seem to have gone in already,” Tony replied immediately upon hearing his brother’s voice.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll teleport there immediately. Don't act alone. I have a feeling that the things that have happened recently are not simple, and it seems to be a conspiracy against you." Adam said immediately after hearing that Tony had arrived at the destination.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you. Actually, I’ve already figured some things out, but it’s not too late to realize it now. Hmph, no matter who set this up, they’re underestimating the Avengers.” Tony said confidently.

"Alright, now's not the time to be cocky. Wait for me, I'm coming right away!" Adam said, then hung up and looked at Athena.

"We've got Tony and the others' location. Shall we teleport now?" Athena asked with slight concern.

Adam's original idea was that if Tony hadn't reached his destination yet, he could be teleported to a nearby place and then fly there to absorb some sunlight to recover his strength. However, things didn't go as planned, and since Tony had already arrived at his destination, he had to teleport there immediately.

"Don't worry, it's just five Winter Soldiers. I'm not so weak that I can't handle a few enhanced humans." Adam waved his hand and said, "Besides, Tony and the others are here too."

"Alright, the teleportation room is ready. We can proceed with the teleportation now," Athena nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's teleport then!" Adam said, standing on the teleportation platform in the teleportation room.

Athena activated the teleportation device, and after a blinding white light, Adam had disappeared. However, Athena knew that her beloved had reached his destination, and she still had some things to deal with. After all, something like intimidating governments couldn't end so abruptly, even though Adam had returned.

==============Hydra's Secret Base Somewhere in Siberia==========

Tony, clad in his Iron Man suit, stood before the gates of Hydra's secret base. A Quinjet fighter jet was parked nearby, indicating that Captain America and his crew had arrived and gone inside. However, Tony wasn't in a hurry, because his older brother was about to arrive.

Just as Tony was thinking this, he saw a shimmering milky-white light appear not far from the Quinjet fighter, followed by Adam Stark, who was wearing a dark blue bodysuit with an "S" symbol on his chest and a red cape fluttering behind him.

"Hey, bro, you're here?"

Tony opened his visor and greeted him with a smile. Although his face was still covered in bruises, making him look somewhat comical, Adam could still read Tony's feelings from that smile. However, Tony was a bit too proud to say anything too cheesy.

Adam smiled slightly upon seeing this. Although the two had argued at Avengers Tower earlier, they were brothers after all, and it was just a disagreement about one thing. So, with this smile, everything had vanished.

"Yeah, I'm here. Looks like you got a good beating." Adam looked at Tony's face and laughed.

"Ah, don't make fun of me." Tony said, closing his visor. "It's all your doing, isn't it? We could have caught Captain America and the others, but then two superheroes from another world appeared."

"A superhero from another world?" Adam asked in confusion, completely unaware of this.

"Oh, you didn't know? One is called Constantine, and the other is a female magician," Tony said, also puzzled.

"Oh, it's them. I heard about them in another world, but how did they come to this world?" Adam thought for a while but still couldn't figure out how they came to be.

"Alright, let's ask the captain when we see him. They've been inside for a little while now, we need to hurry up and go in too." Tony's principle is that if he encounters a problem he doesn't understand, he won't do it if he can't figure it out. He'll probably figure it out as he goes along.

“Well, it’s time to see what kind of being the Winter Soldier who’s supposedly even more powerful than Bucky really is.” Adam agreed with Tony and said with a smile.

And so, the two of them walked into the Hydra base together. Because of Adam's X-ray vision, the base's security system didn't seem to be activated yet, so in less than ten minutes, Tony and Adam were reunited with Captain America and Bucky.

"Hey, don't worry, I'm not here to fight you. I already know it's all that doctor's doing." Tony said, opening his faceplate as he saw Captain America and Bucky looking wary.

"You finally believe me?" Captain America chuckled.

“Well, because of some things before, plus the Secretary of State’s misleading remarks, I didn’t believe you. I just thought you were helping Bucky get away with it.” Tony shrugged and said, “Well, as soon as I found out those guys were lying to me, I came here to help you immediately.”

"Oh, thank you for believing me, but we need to find that doctor quickly, otherwise, if those five people leave the base, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Captain America nodded slightly and said.

Chapter 420 The Siberian Campaign Part Two

After Adam arrived in Siberia and met Tony, he encountered Captain America and his team at the Hydra base. Adam then learned that five Winter Soldiers were hiding there. Of course, if they were just enhanced humans, Captain America and Tony wouldn't be so worried. What's truly terrifying is that there are no records of these five Winter Soldiers' appearances or identities, and they are extremely skilled in disguise, assassination, infiltration, and a range of other espionage techniques. If even one of these five were to leave today, it would be a disaster!

Enhanced humans aren't scary; what's scary is a group of highly enhanced humans with no identification records, masters of various espionage techniques, and specifically designed for sabotage.

Hydra's base was enormous, far larger than it appeared from the outside. Adam and Captain America walked for a long time before arriving at a vast hall that seemed to be the hideout of the enhanced humans. Once inside, they found five cryogenic chambers, which appeared to be empty. Clearly, the five enhanced humans had escaped.

"Zemo, where are you? Come out here!" Captain America shouted.

Bucky, the Winter Soldier, observed his surroundings with a cold yet complex expression. After all, this place held some of his memories, even though they weren't pleasant ones.

After Adam entered, he used his superior vision to observe his surroundings, but he found that most of the place used lead as the inner layer, so his superior vision was useless here. He could only wait for the guy named Zemo to make a move.

"Zemo? Hahaha, are you looking for that guy Zemo?" A sinister voice came from above, and it seemed that the speaker had no nose, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Who are you?" Captain America immediately raised his head, looked into the darkness not far away, and said coldly.

"Oh dear, my captain, how could you forget me?" The voice, tinged with reproach, uttered words that sent chills down one's spine.

"Get out here, you little devil!" Upon hearing the voice, Tony fired an energy cannon at that location, but it was blocked by the thick wall.

"This place was originally an air-raid shelter specifically built to protect against nuclear bombs. The structure inside is extremely sturdy, and ordinary attacks simply cannot damage the walls," the Winter Soldier immediately reminded Tony when he saw him doing so.

"Oh, Bucky, even you're here? What a day to meet you all." That sinister voice still echoed in the hall, saying, "Let me see what you're made of, Captain. If you can beat these guys, maybe I can take you down. What exactly is Zemo trying to do? Hehehehe~~~"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Adam saw four people jump down from above. Each of them was about two meters tall, with muscular bodies, looking like a miniature version of the Hulk, which was quite terrifying.

"Are they the Winter Soldier you were talking about?" Adam asked, looking at Bucky.

"Yes, that's right, it's those four. There's also a woman who should be with that sneaky guy," Bucky said calmly.

"Looks like I'm going to have to take these guys down." Tony slammed his visor shut, glanced calmly at the hulking figure in front of him, and called out, "Hey big guy, come on over here. Let me see just how powerful this so-called elite soldier really is!"

The Winter Soldier standing in front of Tony—let's call him Winter Soldier Number 1 for now, and the others the same way—didn't speak. Or rather, after being frozen for so long, they couldn't speak in a short time. After all, they didn't have the same privileges as Captain America, who had a dedicated team to help them.

Therefore, Winter Soldier 1 just roared and charged towards Tony, but Tony is Iron Man, and he can fly. He immediately took off and avoided Winter Soldier 1's attack. He knew that these big guys were powerful and he wouldn't fight them head-on.

On the other side, Bucky also found a guy. Although these guys had defeated Bucky decades ago, Bucky was not fighting alone at this moment. He also had his good buddy Captain America by his side. Moreover, after being frozen for so many years, these guys should not be able to unleash their full power.
