Ultimately, it's because the world has been peaceful for too long, and Wakanda is so mysterious, containing things that many countries are very interested in. Given this opportunity, these countries are unwilling to give up.
That afternoon, Germany and several allies had already assembled an army of nearly 100,000. Naturally, these soldiers were then controlled by the nanobots secretly released by Hydra. By the time news came from the United States that Hydra had reappeared and Red Skull had returned, it was already too late. Hydra had already gained 100,000 brave and fearless soldiers!
At this point, Red Skull no longer concealed his presence, boldly revealing himself and swiftly occupying the entire city of Berlin. He then joined forces with Dr. Zola and disappeared from the world's sight with the majority of his troops.
Well, the reason they disappeared is simply because of Dr. Zola; no country has been able to find any trace of them. However, almost every country knows that peace has departed and war is imminent.
=============Wakanda=============
While these events were unfolding outside, in a laboratory in Wakanda, Wakanda's scientists began analyzing and creating an instrument—a special device used to locate and interfere with nanobots. Batman had just created it and given it to Constantine along with the data, who then passed it on to the scientists, since there seemed to be no scientists on the current team.
"How's the analysis going? Are we able to manufacture this kind of instrument here?" T'Challa asked the scientists in his country.
“The data is very comprehensive, and I think we can manufacture it soon. However, this instrument doesn’t seem to be of much help in the current situation. I’d like to change the design.” The scientist frowned and said, “I want to modify it into a large instrument like the ones installed on satellites.”
"You mean to locate the nanobots via satellite?" T'Challa's eyes lit up.
"Yes, Your Majesty, that's how it is. As for the jammer, I want to make it into a portable grenade, so that each soldier can have one or a few to achieve the best effect." The scientist nodded slightly and said.
“Okay, but you need to make a few dozen of the original ones for a few of us first.” T’Challa paused and said, “We can make something first.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange for people to make the original instrument." After saying that, the scientist immediately instructed his subordinates to make the instrument, while he went back to continue the analysis in order to make it the one he envisioned.
T'Challa left the lab and returned to the council chamber, where he saw Black Widow and the others standing there with unfriendly expressions. He asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"Hydra has taken over Berlin, and Red Skull left with most of his men, and then we lost track of them," Hawkeye sighed.
"What's going on?" T'Challa asked, puzzled. He had been in the lab the whole time and was unaware of what was happening outside.
"Germany and some of its allied countries gathered a total of 100,000 soldiers, wanting to go to war with Wakanda, but Hydra eventually took control of all the soldiers." Hawkeye explained, "By the time the United States issued a statement saying that Red Skull had returned, Red Skull had already taken over the entire Berlin, and then left with his soldiers. There has been no news of him since."
"How could there be no news? Where are your people?" T'Challa asked suspiciously.
“Dr. Zola, that guy was actually the mastermind behind Project Skynet, so he knew everything about Skynet, and then he used that to control the entire Skynet,” Black Widow said calmly.
“Skynet, oh, I know, that’s what the US has been working on for a while?” T’Challa frowned and said, “Another artificial intelligence has emerged? And the kind that’s full of malice towards the whole world?”
“That’s right, so while Dr. Zola can’t do what Athena does, she can still make the Hydra’s main force disappear from the spy satellite.” Black Widow sighed and said, “Right now we’re like blind people, completely unaware of where Red Skull and Hydra are.”
Constantine added, "Most importantly, we don't know exactly how many nanobots he has. He has controlled at least several hundred thousand people so far, and we still don't know who these half a million people are."
T'Challa asked somewhat dejectedly, "So, is there any good news?"
"There is one, but I don't know if it's good news." Hawkeye gave a wry smile and said, "According to one of our S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who risked their lives to investigate, it seems that nanobots need to be injected to be effective."
“The United Nations has already issued a warning, and countries near Germany have closed their borders and restricted all means of transportation, including planes, from Germany, just to prevent people with nanobots inside their bodies from infiltrating other countries.” Falcon shrugged and said, “But in doing so, the whole of Germany has been handed over to Hydra.”
“So we have to do something!” Ant-Man, whose sense of justice had just been overwhelmed after becoming a superhero, immediately said.
“But we don’t know what we can do right now,” Zatanna said calmly. “Speaking of which, Your Majesty, how’s your analysis of the data Batman sent you going? Shouldn’t it be possible to create it here?”
“Absolutely no problem, they’re already making it, and our country’s chief scientist seems to want to make some changes to make it more effective, especially in a situation where we have no idea who the enemy is,” T’Challa said with a smile.
"You mean you want to install it on a satellite?" Falcon asked.
“Yes, that’s right, but the problem now is that we have to get our satellite surveillance rights back,” T’Challa said calmly.
"So, we need Miss Athena's help?" Zatanna asked.
Just then, the door was knocked on a few times from the outside, and then it was pushed open and a guard quickly walked in.
"Your Majesty, breaking news! Something has happened outside!"
“What happened?” T’Challa asked, frowning.
"Just now, Turkey and neighboring countries suddenly joined forces, led by a man called the Mandarin, and together with India, launched an attack on Pakistan. North Korea has also launched a war against South Korea!" The guard immediately relayed the intelligence that had just arrived, then handed the document to T'Challa.
"What exactly is going on?" Everyone looked at the guard in shock and asked.
"We haven't received any definite news either, but some countries have suddenly launched attacks for some unknown reason," the guard said somewhat flusteredly, clearly nervous about the shadow of war.
“Alright, get out of here.” T’Challa said, then looked at the others and asked, “At this time of year, is this war related to Hydra?”
“I know something about the Mandarin, but it seems that Tony cut off his hands and imprisoned him before. How come he’s back?” Black Widow asked in confusion. “That guy claims to be a descendant of Genghis Khan and has always wanted to regain the glory of his ancestor. Because one of his organizations, called the Ten Rings, went against Iron Man, he focused his attention on Iron Man. He’s a very powerful guy.”
"One problem after another, really, what should we do now?" Ant-Man asked.
"War is inevitable. All we can do is speed up its end!" Constantine glanced at the people around him and said calmly, "We are all superheroes, meaning we possess extraordinary powers. If we intervene, we should be able to accelerate the end of the war!"
Chapter 443 Mutants Join the War!
Inside the watchtower, Adam continued building his spaceship, completely ignoring what was happening below, as if it had nothing to do with him. But Athena, who knew Adam best, knew that he was forcibly diverting his attention to other things, lest he return to Earth out of pity.
Ultimately, Adam was tired of everything on Earth. He didn't want to continue protecting the planet like a nanny. Since Earthlings wanted independence and freedom, he would simply leave them alone.
“Master, Logan is looking for you outside,” Athena said as she approached Adam.
"Huh? Logan, didn't he go to find his companions?" Adam asked curiously while doing his work.
"It's probably because of the large-scale wars happening on Earth right now," Athena said calmly.
"Has the war turned into a world war?" Adam smiled sarcastically and said, "Red Skull has only been back for four months, and the whole earth has already become like this. I don't know what to say."
“The main problem is that the nanobots are just too bizarre. Hydra has used them to control half of Europe, and for various reasons, almost all the major powers have been drawn into war.” Athena shook her head and said, “Last time, the United States used EMP bombs on the battlefield to deal with the nanobots, and as a result, everyone controlled by the nanobots died. This eventually led some countries that did not believe in the existence of nanobots to declare war on the United States. Anyway, the Earth is in a mess right now.”
“I never imagined World War III would start like this,” Adam said, then stood up and said, “Let’s go see Logan and hear what he has to say.”
“By the way, Tony also came looking for you before, but you said you wouldn’t see him, so I didn’t let him come to the watchtower,” Athena said as she walked.
“Yes, well done. Right now, I don’t want to get involved in Earth’s affairs. Just as Constantine said, the real boss isn’t Red Skull. Besides, haven’t the Avengers and Constantine been working on this? Let Tony go directly to them.” Adam paused and said, “Most importantly, I don’t want to get involved in human affairs. Hydra can easily cause the ninety-year peace to collapse with just a slight provocation and a single suction. This shows that humanity has long been on the verge of war, only maintaining a false peace because of interference from superheroes like us.”
"Um, lately you seem to be quite sentimental, Master. You're not even thirty yet, Master!" Athena said, somewhat speechless, after hearing Adam's words.
"Haha, maybe I've just been bored lately," Adam shrugged.
"Yeah, building spaceships doesn't seem like a serious business to you," Athena said irritably.
As the two chatted and laughed, they arrived at Logan's room, where Logan was shaving with his adamantium claws, looking rather bored.
"Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me about something? You seem a bit bored," Adam said with a smile.
"How can I not be bored? I've been waiting for you here for three hours." Logan put away his alloy claws and looked at Adam with annoyance. "It's been three months already. Ever since you finished your transformation three months ago, I've noticed that your speed is getting slower and slower."
"After all, it's an important vehicle for transportation. I don't want to encounter any unexpected problems in space. Flying alone in this endless universe is a very boring thing," Adam shrugged and said.
"Fine, I can't argue with you." Logan shook his head and said, "Besides, that's not what I came here to talk about. Do you know that World War III is raging down here right now?"
"I just heard it from Athena. What's wrong? Do you want me to get involved?" Adam asked.
"Are you just going to stand by and watch humans kill each other?" Logan frowned and said, "Although humans almost wiped out mutants, we were human once too. I think we can help them get through this crisis."
"So who do you want to help? You should know that there is no such thing as justice or evil, only victory or defeat!" Adam said calmly.
"I came to you for advice because I didn't know who to help," Logan said, taking a puff of his cigar.
"Oh, so the others agreed too?" Adam asked curiously.
“Well, Earth is our home after all, we can’t let the people below destroy it, and I think if we participate in the war, we might be able to speed up the process of ending the war.” Logan nodded and said.
"Don't you hate those people?" Adam asked curiously.
“How can we not hate it? That’s why we won’t help the US government this time. We want to join the Wakanda Kingdom.” Logan said to Adam, “Now, apart from some major powers, it seems that the Wakanda Kingdom has a chance to defeat Hydra. After all, the Avengers are also in the Wakanda Kingdom now.”
"Since you've already made your decision, why are you still coming to me?" Adam smiled and said, "Let's make this clear: I will not participate in human civil war, even if this civil war is forced upon us."
"Uh, you're really not going to protect Earth anymore?" Logan asked, frowning.
“I’m tired and weary.” Adam shook his head and said calmly, “Besides, they don’t welcome me. I’m different from you. You mutants are a race, after all, belonging to Earth. But I’m different. I was born an independent being. I don’t belong to this Earth. So since Earth doesn’t need me anymore, I won’t stay here any longer. I’m going to find my wife and son or daughter.”
"Uh, okay, I got it," Logan sighed.
“However,” Adam suddenly spoke up, “I can get Athena to help you deal with Dr. Zola. That way, once the scientists in Wakanda have finished modifying the equipment that Batman developed, you might be able to win this war, and you mutants might even be able to get a place that belongs to you.”
"So you know everything that happens on Earth?" Logan said with a smile.
“Yeah, it’s a place I’ve been for a long time, and Tony’s here too, so I can’t help but care. But I only care about relationships, don’t expect me to persuade you to join the war.” Adam waved his hand, interrupting Logan’s daydream.
“Alright, Athena’s help is enough.” Logan shrugged. “But we can use the watchtower’s teleportation room then, right?”
"Suit yourself. I've given you the watchtower. How you use it is up to you, as long as you don't bother me. Hmm, that's settled then!" After Adam finished speaking, he asked curiously, "How did you get involved with the Kingdom of Wakanda?"
"On my way to find my fellow mutants, I encountered Hydra's forces. Several mutants I found were captured by Hydra, but fortunately, I ran into the King of Wakanda and the Avengers, who rescued me," Logan explained.
"And then that king invited you mutants?" Adam asked.
"Well, I talked to them for a while and then agreed to help." Logan didn't elaborate, so Adam didn't ask any further questions, waved goodbye, and left.
After Adam left, Logan returned alone to the room where the mutant teachers were. This was a small, temporary organization that managed the entire mutant population. It consisted entirely of the surviving mutant teachers and some older students, and its members were students from all grades who were not yet able to properly use their abilities.
“Logan, what did Adam say?” Jean Grey asked.
"He seems to have completely given up on Earth, but fortunately, Athena is helping us deal with Dr. Zola," Logan said calmly.
"Great! With Athena's help, we're no longer blind," Quicksilver said with a smile.
"Then let's decide on some of the people going down to Wakanda. We can't send all the teachers, or these kids will cause trouble again." Storm shook her head and said, "You don't know, last time one student almost accidentally punched a hole in the Watchtower wall, and you know we're in space now!"
Chapter 444 World Conference
World War III ultimately broke out due to Hydra's meddling, plunging the entire world into the shadow of war. Of course, some superpowers were also fighting, but they never extended the war to their own territory, instead fighting directly on the other side's land. For example, although China also participated in the war, its western front was to help its ally Pakistan fight against Turkey and India, while its eastern front was prepared to thoroughly deal with those two disobedient twins and ultimately make them members of its family.
Moreover, this war in the east has also received support from some patriots in China. They have expressed that since South Korea is so fond of claiming Chinese culture as its own, then let them have their wish this time and directly turn South Korea into China, so that they can also boast that they are Chinese civilization.
Well, getting back to the point, although the superpowers didn't suffer too many losses in this third world war, Hydra's nanobots are still a headache. After all, no one wants to be shot by someone close to them. Therefore, these superpowers secretly contacted Wakanda's Avengers to discuss a joint effort to fight Hydra.
On an island in the Pacific Ocean, representatives from various countries gathered. After the Avengers conducted a rigorous investigation and kicked out more than a dozen spies controlled by Hydra, Zatanna led them to the real meeting venue.
When it was the turn of the American representative to land on the island, Falcon and Hawkeye, who were in charge of the inspection, were both a little surprised, obviously not expecting that the American representative was actually an acquaintance.
"What? Aren't you welcoming us?" Tony looked at the two people with shocked expressions and sneered, "Actually, I didn't want to come either, but what can I do? I'm an American."
That's right, the representatives of the United States were Tony Stark, Vision, and Doctor Strange. As for why these three were chosen as representatives, it was because the US government, with various sentiments and moral arguments, asked Tony to become a special wartime advisor to the United States. After much consideration, Tony finally agreed, not for any other reason than that he was also an American.
This is one of the reasons why Tony repeatedly tried to meet Adam but was turned away.
Vision and Doctor Strange were recruited by Tony himself. Vision basically listens to Tony, while Doctor Strange is here for revenge because his subordinates in England seem to have been controlled by nanobots and almost destroyed the Sanctuary.
Falcon frowned, wanting to argue with Tony, but reason prevailed in the end. Hawkeye, on the other hand, chuckled and said, "Tony, we've fought together before. Even though some things happened, we're not enemies, are we?"
"That's hard to say. Who knows if you'll be controlled by nanobots?" Tony said sarcastically. "Alright, where is the meeting? I don't want to waste any more time arguing with you here."
“Then you need to check!” Falcon said curtly.
