“I don’t know, but I’ve been investigating things related to Skynet, and then I found out that the Skynet project was proposed by Dr. Zola when he was captured and at S.H.I.E.L.D., but it was delayed for various reasons. When I heard that Red Skull was back, I felt that there must be some connection between them.” Tony shrugged and said, “In addition, these nanosuits are actually just part of the Hulkbuster suit that I developed. I usually carry them with me in this briefcase style.”
"Your brother gave you this very mature nanotechnology?" Roddy asked.
“Well, I have to say the government went too far this time. My brother is already preparing to leave.” Tony sighed and said, “And the infighting within the Avengers was also caused by the government behind the scenes.”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know things would turn out this way," Roddy said apologetically.
After all, the government learned some information through Roddy. At first, Roddy didn't pay much attention to it, but now he thinks that the government may have specifically asked him to investigate, and he was foolishly helping the government.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I don't blame you, after all, you weren't aware of it at the time." Tony patted Rhodes on the shoulder, then looked at everyone except the military personnel and Locke, who were already wearing their Iron Man suits, and said calmly, "Alright, now that everyone is dressed, there's no need to worry. My AI assistant Friday is controlling these Iron Man suits. You can just quietly watch a live war movie. Now, let the counterattack begin!"
Chapter 437 Hydra's Operation
While all the American family and conglomerate tycoons were trapped in the underground base in District X, a secret base in Berlin, Germany, was holding a final mobilization meeting with all of Hydra's executives.
Dressed in a Nazi WWII uniform, Red Skull sat in the most prominent position, looking at the now-closed screen, and said calmly, "As you all know, Dr. Zola has completed his mission. Now it is up to you to complete your own missions."
"What about those superheroes? We can't get around them." A middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Leader, you haven't been on Earth for a long time, so you may not know how terrifying these superheroes are. If we don't eliminate them first, we will fail sooner or later."
“That’s right, especially Superman, he’s just too powerful. Even a nuclear bomb couldn’t kill him this time,” another cadre remarked.
“Although the leader said the superheroes are fighting amongst themselves, they’ll definitely reunite if we step forward,” the middle-aged man said.
“You don’t need to worry about that.” Red Skull wasn’t angry. Instead, he said calmly, “I’m not back without backup this time. Just follow my instructions. When those superheroes show up, you’ll know what gives me confidence.”
The middle-aged man paused after hearing this. He knew that since Red Skull had said so, he would not change his mind so easily. Rather than arguing or questioning the other party and putting himself in danger, he might as well obediently listen. So he did not continue to speak, but simply nodded to indicate that he understood.
In the months since Red Skull returned, he has done much more than just establish this base. He has used alien technology to control many people. In addition, some of Hydra's veterans have rebuilt Hydra's forces and agents, allowing these agents to infiltrate various departments in Germany and gradually take control of the people in those departments. At this moment, perhaps only a small number of officials remain uncontrolled by Hydra.
As for the remaining civilians, they almost all have a tendency to blindly follow others. As long as the government doesn't do anything too outrageous, these civilians don't really care who is in charge of the country. In fact, even if they wanted to, they couldn't.
In just a few hours, at Red Skull's command, the entire political scene in Berlin, Germany, was completely controlled by Hydra and turned into their own.
Inside the Hydra base, Red Skull watched the increasing number of red dots on the screen and began to laugh arrogantly. In fact, Red Skull's real confidence, besides the aliens still in outer space, came from the nanobots that could control humans. With this thing, he could gradually control the entire Germany, and then slowly devour the other countries, thus gradually taking control of the entire Earth.
Of course, at that time, all of humanity on Earth was his hostage. He believed that even Superman couldn't do anything to him. Thinking of this, he burst into laughter and completely ignored what his subordinates were saying.
Because he has never been on Earth, and even most people on Earth are unaware that Adam possesses technological power far exceeding that of Earth in addition to his physical strength, Red Skull naively believes that there is no technological power on Earth that surpasses that of other planets.
========The Watchtower's Workshop for Building Spaceships=====
Adam watched as Athena controlled the mechanical arm to assemble the spaceship. After all, he only wanted a means of transportation, so he didn't make the spaceship too large, about the size of a typical fighter jet, with only three seats in the entire cabin. An ordinary human would not be able to ride in such a spaceship, but neither Adam, Athena, nor Ganata were ordinary humans, and the spaceship did not need to hibernate when traveling at the speed of light, so such a large spaceship was more than enough.
"Alright, the outer shell of the spaceship has been built. All that's left is to install the faster-than-light engine and other equipment," Athena said with a smile.
"Well, but these are the most crucial parts left." Adam looked at the spaceship he and Athena had designed with interest and smiled slightly.
“Actually, we still have some advantages. If we use the Cosmic Cube as an energy source, it will greatly shorten the time required to build the light-speed engine,” Athena said to Adam.
“Well, that’s fine. After all, it’s not safe for this thing to stay on Earth. And I think Ganata will be traveling with us this time. She’ll starve without the Cosmic Cube.” Adam shrugged and said, “Since the father has entrusted his child to us, we should take good care of her.”
“Yeah, that’s true. I almost forgot that Ganata came along too,” Athena said, sticking out her tongue.
"By the way, did Tony want to talk to you about something this morning?" Adam suddenly asked.
He discovered that Tony had contacted Athena that morning, but Adam was busy at the time, so he didn't talk to Tony. Also, Tony had contacted Athena, so he didn't ask any further questions. Now that he remembered this, he casually mentioned it.
"Oh, he said the Skynet system might be launched today, and he was invited by the military to attend the launch ceremony. I heard that almost all the heads of families and conglomerates in the United States are going." After Athena finished speaking, she maliciously speculated, "If something happens there at this time, the whole of America will be in chaos."
"How long has it been since he left?" Adam asked.
"It's been about four hours." Athena glanced at the previous call log and said, "That means the Skynet system should be fully activated by now. I'll go see what it is."
“Hmm, go check out Skynet. I have a feeling something might be wrong.” Adam frowned and said, “Oh, and also those old Hydra members. Check their locations. I think you should have information on them.”
"Alright, Master, you're just all talk. You're only concerned about those guys' well-being." Athena pouted and said.
“I’m not worried about these people’s well-being, but they are related to the stability and peace of the entire United States, so we can’t afford to have anything happen to them, otherwise the whole United States might fall apart.” Adam sighed and said, “Human greed is endless. If something really happens, it will still be the ordinary people who suffer the most.”
"Fine, I don't care how many people call you a saint," Athena retorted.
"I'd rather be a saint, at least that way I can protect some people," Adam said calmly. "If I'm selfish and use my power to do whatever I want, would I be worthy of those people's worship and the title of 'Superman'?"
“Okay, you’ve convinced me.” Athena rolled her eyes and said, “It’s so strange. Nothing seems to have changed online, and the US government’s website still doesn’t have any protection. It doesn’t look like it’s protected by artificial intelligence. It seems like something really has happened.”
Upon hearing this, Adam immediately asked, "What about Hydra?"
“I checked, and those people were recently in Berlin, but haven’t been seen since. However, I just checked some of the surveillance cameras in Berlin and found something very interesting,” Athena said, pulling up a video.
The video appears to be of an office. Through occasional glimpses, it can be discerned that this is the office of a police chief in a certain area of Berlin. The video shows a man in a police uniform walking into the chief's office with a lifeless expression. He then takes a syringe from his jacket pocket and injects it into the chief's body without warning.
"What is he injecting?" Adam asked, puzzled. "What do you want me to see?"
"Master, keep watching, quick, it's coming out. Look at this bureau chief's eyes, they're exactly the same as that guy's just now." Athena zoomed in on the video several times and then said.
"What's going on?" Adam thought for a moment and said, "Could this be related to Hydra?"
“This is a set of videos that were deleted. I recovered these videos through some means, and I also found many similar things in the Berlin surveillance system. This thing looks a lot like something in my memory,” Athena said very seriously: “Nanami!”
Chapter 438 The Avengers in Action (Part 1)
Adam certainly knew what nanobots were, after all, in the world of his memories, the seven giants of the Justice League had suffered greatly at the hands of nanobots, and Adam didn't want to experience that situation of being an enemy of the world firsthand.
"Athena, how many people have they controlled so far?" Adam asked, frowning.
“Based on some previous videos, it’s estimated that officials in Berlin and some nearby cities are already working for Hydra. Of course, since Berlin is the capital of Germany, it can also be said that Hydra has now subtly taken control of the entire country,” Athena said with a serious expression.
“The situation isn’t the worst yet; we discovered it early enough to prevent it.” Adam breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Send this intelligence to the King of Wakanda; he knows how to handle it.”
"Master, are you not going to take action?" Athena asked.
"I'm not in the mood for that. I'll just keep working on my spaceship. It's not even close to the point where I need to get involved. If I can't even handle Hydra, then Constantine should just go to Hell and play cards with Lucifer," Adam said calmly.
"Oh, Master, do you know Constantine?" Athena asked curiously.
Although I had investigated some information when I was on another Earth, Constantine's information was too strange, and most of his things lacked specific details. So, although I had heard of his name, I did not know what his abilities were.
"After checking my memories, I found that I do indeed have some recollections of him. If this Constantine is the same as the one in my memories, then he should also be a troublesome figure." Adam paused, then said, "In my memories, he has two characteristics. The first is that every demon fears Constantine, not because of his power, but because of his wisdom. Even Lucifer was deceived by Constantine; he is that cunning. The other characteristic is that he betrays his allies! No one who cooperates with him has a good ending, so all his friends have distanced themselves from him."
"What a legendary figure," Athena remarked, before sending some of the information she had gathered to Wakanda's central processing unit. Of course, it had undergone some special processing, so no one except the king could access it.
"Master, the message has been sent."
“I know. Oh, and remember to keep an eye on Tony. Although he’s not afraid of Hydra, if I remember correctly, the S.H.I.E.L.D. records say that Red Skull disappeared after coming into contact with the Tesseract. And we already know that the Tesseract can open a portal, so maybe Red Skull was teleported to some planet.” Adam said to Athena with some concern for his brother.
“Hmm, I remember Constantine seemed to have said that there was an entity behind Red Skull that could easily overthrow the Earth.” Athena also said with a slightly solemn tone, “Master, don’t worry, I will keep an eye on Tony at all times. And I won’t spare any energy to investigate Red Skull either.”
"Thank you for your hard work during this time," Adam said with a slight smile.
Although Athena's core is still artificial intelligence, she has after all been elevated to a biological being. Therefore, Adam will receive all the care and attention he deserves. Moreover, since he has decided to accept Athena's love in the other world, even though neither of them has brought up the matter yet because of Christine, Adam can no longer regard Athena simply as an intelligent program. Besides, he has always regarded Athena as his family.
===================Mysterious Wakanda==========
Wakanda, an ancient and mysterious country nestled in a mysterious canyon in Africa. Of course, this is just one perspective on Wakanda from the outside world. If you were to ask Constantine and others who have been living in Wakanda for three months about this, they would definitely answer that it's not some ancient country at all, but a completely super-civilization!
Indeed, Wakanda is a superpower disguised as an ancient nation. Although its land area is small and mostly forested, it doesn't seem to be the kind of ancient nation that people imagine. Well, after all, most people believe that ancient nations are backward, with little to no technology, and perhaps no electricity. This kind of thinking has influenced many people, and under its influence, almost everyone has a prejudice against these mysterious nations, always feeling that they are inferior to them.
However, the truth is that Wakanda is a highly developed country with technological power that surpasses that of any other country on Earth, especially in biology. Even if Norman Osborn, a biological genius, were to be resurrected here, he would still be ashamed of him.
At first, Constantine and the others were quite shocked, but after a little probing, Zatanna discovered that some of the text in the game was not like the text on Earth. It was obvious that this so-called Wakanda Kingdom was likely a group of people who had fled from space to Earth. Of course, this was just Zatanna's guess, and Constantine and the others did not ask about the truth.
On this day, Constantine had just finished his conversation with Batman when a waiter walked in. Well, it was actually just Constantine harassing Batman. After learning that the flow of time was different, Constantine contacted Batman almost every day to retaliate against the other man for sending him to this world.
"Sir, His Majesty the King requests your presence."
"Oh, any new discoveries?" Constantine muttered to himself, then followed the other person into the palace.
Inside the palace, T'Challa wasn't the only one there; Hawkeye, Black Widow, Ant-Man, and others were also watching a video, their expressions grim, as if something important had happened.
“Hey, what happened?” Constantine asked.
"The anonymous letter we just received, well, of course it could break through our Wakanda defense system, it must have been sent from Superman's side." King T'Challa shrugged and continued, "It mentions the whereabouts of Hydra and a conspiracy that Hydra is currently carrying out."
"Hydra's conspiracy? What is it?" Constantine hadn't been sitting here for nothing these past three months; he had thoroughly understood some of the things happening on this planet, and of course, he had also concluded that Red Skull was the founder of Hydra.
“They are using something called nanobots, and they have already taken control of key officials and police in Berlin and surrounding cities in Germany,” T’Challa said very seriously.
"What? Nanobugs? This is bad!" Constantine knew how powerful nanobugs were and immediately felt a bit distressed. Fortunately, he also knew how to deal with them. He was grateful that Batman was always able to develop some equipment, and he must have all the information.
“Yes, if it weren’t for Superman’s information, we might have missed the opportunity. If we had waited until Hydra had gradually devoured most of the countries on Earth, it wouldn’t have been easy for us to fight against them. And even if we had won in the end, it wouldn’t have been anything to be happy about,” Black Widow said through gritted teeth.
“Yes, if it really came to that, the Earth would have been exhausted by civil war long ago,” Hawkeye added.
“So, what should we do now?” Ant-Man asked.
He was just a father who loved his daughter, an unemployed man who had just been released from prison. If he hadn't become a superhero by chance, who knows if he would have fallen on hard times and become a thief again. Although he did find Ant-Man's suit while stealing, it was a trap set by Dr. Pym.
“We must eliminate Hydra before things escalate,” Hawkeye said coldly.
“Yes, but we don’t know where Hydra is.” Falcon shook his head and said, “Why don’t we go find the captain? He knows a lot about Hydra.”
“No, I don’t agree with going to the captain. He has completely lost his fighting spirit, and it’s time for him to rest for a while,” Black Widow shook her head and said.
“Since Hydra is causing trouble in Berlin, they must be operating within Germany. And the nanobot issue must be resolved, otherwise, before we can even deal with Hydra, we might already be under nanobot control, leading to internal strife and a ridiculous situation.” Constantine shrugged and said, “Wait a little while, I’ll go ask Batman; he should have some technology to prevent nanobot attacks!”
Chapter 439 The Avengers in Action
After Adam and Athena discovered Hydra's plot, they immediately informed the Avengers who were resting in Wakanda. Yes, although the Avengers were nominally split and disbanded, Tony only had himself and Vision on his side; everyone else was in Wakanda. So, it could be said that the Avengers in Wakanda were the true Avengers. Of course, all of this was no longer important. Since the deed had already been done and the choice had been made, there was no need to dwell on it.
The current problem is how to deal with this newly resurrected Hydra. In a hall of the Wakanda royal palace, the Avengers, King T'Challa of Wakanda, and Constantine from another world are discussing a strategy. However, since none of them have ever fought against nanobots before, and they are afraid of being caught off guard and controlled by the nanobots, they have no choice but to ask Constantine to seek help from Batman.
Constantine took a small device from his pocket, pressed a button on it, and placed it on the square table in front of him. The device then began to flash green light, and a virtual image of Bruce Wayne appeared in the air.
“I’ve already sent Barry to fetch someone, Constantine. Can you please stop bothering me? I haven’t slept all night because of your constant calling,” Bruce Wayne said, frowning.
Moreover, Bruce Wayne did look rather tired, but Constantine wasn't joking at this moment; he had something important to discuss with him.
“Hey bro, give me a smile first!” Constantine lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, “I need your help now, not Barry’s.”
"What happened?" Bruce Wayne had only been annoyed by the other party's harassment and had issued a warning, but when he heard Constantine say that he needed to talk to him, he immediately asked seriously.
“We’ve encountered nanobots here. I remember seeing something on the news about your battle against the Siberian aliens. It seems they used nanobots to control some people,” Constantine explained. “So I wanted to ask you if you have any equipment or anything to prevent these nanobots.”
“I need a nanobot before I can help you build the corresponding device,” Bruce Wayne said directly, without beating around the bush.
“The problem is, we don’t know if we approach them rashly and the nanobots might discover us and take control of our people.” Constantine frowned and asked, “How did you manage to do it back then?”
"The Flash retrieved a nanobot, and he's the only one who wasn't controlled by it. Otherwise, our Justice League would have been wiped out by the Siberian aliens in that battle," Bruce Wayne said calmly.
"Uh, it's The Flash again. Okay, we'll find a way to get you a nanobot. We'll contact you later." Constantine then cut off the connection and said to the others, "You all heard that. We need to get a nanobot. Well, that means we need to capture a controlled person, extract the nanobot, and hand it over to Batman."
“But the problem is we don’t have The Flash,” Zatanna said dejectedly. “And The Flash doesn’t seem to be with Bruce either; he seems to have gone to another world to find teammates for us.”
"Who is this Flash you're talking about? Can he control lightning? If so, I think maybe we can get Thor to help us," Falcon asked, unaware of the Flash's existence.
