Superman Marvel Adventures

Before setting off, they had already made a plan. Everyone knew their goal, so after nodding to each other, they immediately headed towards their destination. They couldn't let the Hydra people notice their actions, as Dr. Zola was on the Hydra side, and time was of the essence.

Inside the watchtower, Athena instructed the watchtower's control system to intervene in Hydra's detection while asking the person beside her, "Master, how are they?"

"Hehe, so full of energy, especially Kara and Atom," Adam said with a smile. "Besides, don't you think Atom is actually somewhat similar to me?"

"Which aspect is Master referring to?" Athena asked, puzzled.

"As for his appearance, although it's overshadowed by his current goofy demeanor, there are still some similarities if you look closely," Adam said with interest. "Maybe in some world, he's also a superman."

"Hearing you say that, it does seem somewhat similar. However, as you said, Master, his current dazed and foolish demeanor is too severe, so I didn't think of it in that direction," Athena said with a smile.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. It seems this opponent is quite formidable." Adam sighed and said, "Batman actually got the Flash to bring in so many people to help. Oh well, consider it a parting gift."

Chapter 447 Countdown to the Final Battle

In a command center in the western part of the Indian battlefield, the Hydra forces that S.H.I.E.L.D. was searching for were currently fighting against Pakistan and China. Therefore, it was only natural that the leader of Hydra, Red Skull, was also in this place. After all, even Red Skull had to be cautious when facing China, so he brought the entire elite force of Hydra here.

"The S.H.I.E.L.D. people are causing trouble again." A tall man looked at the two big shots in the room and said with some annoyance.

"Didn't catch them again?" Sitting on the left was a burly man nearly two meters tall. He had a well-trimmed beard and wore old-style Mongolian noble clothing. He was clearly the Manchu who claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan.

"These guys from S.H.I.E.L.D. are like rats, impossible to catch." The tall, burly man seemed to be highly regarded by the Mandarin, and didn't offer much explanation for his failure.

"Then forget it, they can't get close here anyway," the Mandarin said nonchalantly. "But we need to strengthen security here, rats have already infiltrated."

After the Mandarin finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and a whirlwind appeared out of thin air, whistling as it flew towards the corner of the room. Then, blood splattered in the air, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The tall man walked over, examined the bloodstains briefly, and then pulled out something that looked like transparent plastic. He then saw the body of a headless middle-aged man.

“Hey, they even have this kind of technology.” The tall man touched the transparent plastic-like camouflage suit in his hand, then put it aside and said, “But it still can’t escape your eyes, Uncle.”

It now appears that this tall man is a nephew of the Mandarin, which explains his lack of fear when facing the Mandarin.

“Indeed, we cannot underestimate the technological power of S.H.I.E.L.D..” Red Skull, who was sitting on the sofa on the right without speaking, said calmly, “Even I didn’t sense that there were other people here.”

“He must be a long-term undercover agent. He must have seen you when you came to the camp yesterday.” The Mandarin casually waved his hand, and a head flew from a distance. He then threw it on the ground and said, “I remember this person should be the adjutant of Monkey Saed.”

"Hmm, that's a possibility," Red Skull said calmly.

Although he arrived at the military camp a long time ago and worked with the Mandarin to devise a plan to attack Pakistan, he had never shown his face in public. After all, he knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. was now targeting him. Although Superman was in a state of cold war with the US government, he was well aware of the character of these superheroes. World War III was caused by him, and if he really showed his face in public, Superman might come and arrest him.

When he first arrived on Earth, Red Skull wasn't afraid of Superman. After all, there's an old Chinese saying, "Ignorance is bliss." At that time, he had no idea that Superman would be so powerful. However, after learning about him over the past few months, he realized that Superman was definitely a variable in his plan. But he didn't have the ability to eliminate this variable, which is why he was hiding and not showing himself in public.

However, recently he discovered that Superman really didn't seem willing to get involved in World War III. Moreover, when their team was facing Pakistan, they encountered China, one of the world's major superpowers, and the battle was in a stalemate. In order to speed up the occupation of Pakistan, he had to come and oversee the situation personally.

"What should we do now? Some of our large-scale weapons have been destroyed by the Avengers, and now our troops are tied down by the Chinese forces. We must fight back," the Mandarin said to Red Skull.

“Yes, the Avengers are indeed an obstacle. Right now, we’re mainly worried about those people who are controlled by nanobots. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.” Red Skull held a glass of red wine and said calmly, “It seems we need to devise a plan specifically to deal with these annoying Avengers.”

"And then there's Superman. This guy is the most troublesome one," the Mandarin said with a hint of apprehension.

"Yes, Superman is indeed a problem, but I believe this problem will be solved soon." Red Skull smiled faintly and said, "How many superhumans do you have on your side?"

“I don’t have many left. Damn Tony Stark, if he hadn’t destroyed my Ring, the creation of Ringwraiths alone would have been enough to deal with these Avengers.”

The Mandarin harbored a true hatred for Tony Stark. Tony Stark not only destroyed some of the most important of the ten Rings that the Mandarin had painstakingly collected, but also cut off both of the Mandarin's arms.

If it weren't for his nephew in this world, who managed to attach the other's arm to his own through some special means, allowing him to regain his strength, perhaps the Mandarin wouldn't be sitting here talking to Red Skull, but would instead be controlled and enslaved by him.

"Why don't you send the nanobots? Those superheroes definitely can't handle these people," the Mandarin asked.

“Don’t forget, Mandarin, this isn’t just about causing chaos; it’s a world war. If we push the Avengers too far, they’ll kill us.” Red Skull shook his head and said, “Sacrificing a few to save the many—the Avengers are capable of that.”

"Then what should we do? We can't just raise our hands and surrender, can we?" the Mandarin said somewhat irritably.

"Heh, I really don't know if you lost your IQ after being defeated by Iron Man." Red Skull said coldly, "I said before, this is war, and war can never be influenced by a few people, well, except for that monster Superman."

"You want to fight using sheer numbers?" the Mandarin asked.

“That’s right. I don’t want to push the Avengers to the brink of defeat all at once, nor do I want them to have it easy. And don’t forget I still have tens of thousands of mechanical soldiers! Hand over all the superhumans you have. I’m going to give the Avengers a gift.” Red Skull stood up and said, “Alright, have your men speed up the attack. I’ve already sent Dr. Zola to research new weapons.”

Although the Mandarin was somewhat angry at the other party's commanding tone, he knew that he couldn't do anything to the other party in a real fight, and the other party was also helpless against him. He didn't want a boring battle. Well, they had already fought at the beginning, so he coldly responded and sat down, thinking about something.

Red Skull left the Mandarin and returned to Hydra's own headquarters. After inquiring about Dr. Zola's location, he headed directly towards the large laboratory dozens of meters underground.

Dr. Zola is researching new weapons. Nuclear weapons are protected by Athena, and the other weapons of mass destruction have been destroyed by the Avengers. So, in his anger, Red Skull orders Dr. Zola to research new weapons. After all, Red Skull has lived these decades for a reason, and he also had some alien technology with him when he came to Earth, since he came here to fight.

As for why he didn't bring a ready-made weapon, well, if he had his big boss provide everything for him, how could he expect to control the Earth? Besides, what difference would it make if he came to Earth or if everyone else did? His boss just thought Earth was too remote, but even so, he still rushed back to Earth to find what he needed. If, as a subordinate, he couldn't even accomplish the 'small thing' of quickly rising to power and conquering Earth with the help of alien technology, what value would he have to the boss?

"Doctor, how's your research going?" Red Skull asked as he walked over.

"Don't worry, Chief, I will soon be able to equip the entire mechanical legion with the new weapons," Dr. Zola said confidently.

Dr. Zola possessed a specially made robot and used realistic skin, so he is now a very handsome, tall, blond man. Because of the high level of craftsmanship, the expressions on his face are also very realistic.

"That's good. We can begin the second step of the plan now. All the Avengers superheroes must die!"

Chapter 448 Countdown to the Final Battle

Inside the watchtower, Iron Man and the others, who had just returned from outer space, were resting. After all, although everyone was a superhero with great strength, not everyone was Superman and could ignore the environment of the vacuum space. Apart from Supergirl, Phoenix, and Firestorm, the rest of them looked very tired.

Of course, since they returned to the watchtower, Kara and Adam also met. Seeing that Adam and her cousin had many similarities, Kara said that she really loved this kind of time travel, as it always allowed her to see miracles.

“Do you know? Because of the Krypton explosion, my spaceship was affected and I was trapped for over thirteen years. When I finally arrived on Earth, I found that my cousin was already around thirty years old. Can you imagine me calling someone who’s almost forty my cousin?” Kara became more talkative after seeing Adam.

"It seems you're trapped in a space where time flows at a certain velocity." Adam smiled after hearing this and said, "It seems you and your cousin have a really good relationship."

“Our relationship is okay, but you have to understand, there’s a huge age gap between us. Generally speaking, he’s always been the one taking care of me, not the other way around as my mother imagines, where I’m the one taking care of him,” Carla shrugged.

“Then you are lucky,” Adam said, looking at Kara. “You have a very good cousin.”

“Yes, I’m really lucky. Not only Carl, but my adoptive parents and sister have all been very good to me.” Kara smiled charmingly and said, “By the way, I heard you and Mr. Tony are brothers.”

“Yes, my situation is similar to yours. I was seen by my father when I landed on this planet. Tony was just a baby at the time. After seeing me, my father thought he could keep my child company, so he adopted me and even created a fake identity for me. He was really good to me, but unfortunately, he has passed away.” Adam sighed softly and said, “Looking back now, time really flies.”

"Are you getting ready to leave?" Kara asked.

"Yes, I'm going to look for my fiancée and unborn child," Adam said, a hint of affection and a barely perceptible sense of loss flashing in his eyes.

He grew up on Earth, and if he could, he really wouldn't want to leave. But now, firstly, Christine wasn't on Earth; she was waiting for him in the Divine Realm. Secondly, he really couldn't find a reason to stay here any longer. Since something like what happened before had already happened once, it would definitely happen again. Moreover, no sovereign nation would like an entity that was above its own country.

"The nanobot detectors are now installed. Let's see how many people on Earth are controlled by nanobots." At that moment, Athena stood up and addressed the group who were chatting and drinking coffee.

"Oh, the system is already set up. You're really fast, Ms. Athena," Dr. Stein said, glancing at the time.

As they spoke, a picture of Earth appeared on the virtual screen in front of them, with dense red dots marking the locations of the nanobots. Of course, the red dots in a certain location in India seemed to overlap.

"So many people? That's terrifying." Repalmer looked at the red dot on the virtual Earth and said with lingering fear.

"Furthermore, according to what Mr. Constantine and Mr. Tony just said, these nanobots need to be removed by speedsters in a very short time, but now there are so many of them, and they are spread out over a wide area. What should we do?"

Dr. Stein looked at the figures compiled by Athena beside him. A total of three million people had been controlled by nanobots. Apart from soldiers and some civilians who were deployed to the front lines, the remaining controlled people were scattered over a wide area, which made it difficult to save everyone.

“This is terrible. Three million people! Even if Wally and the other three run themselves ragged, they couldn’t possibly rescue that many people,” Kara said, frowning.

“If we had known things would turn out like this, we would have come in the Waverider,” Jefferson, the other half of Firestorm, said with a frown.

“Actually, there’s another way, which is to attack this place directly.” Tony stared at the virtual screen in front of him for a while, then suddenly pointed to a region in western India and said, “Judging from the distribution of nanobots in this area, this might be where Red Skull is hiding.”

“But this is also the most dangerous method. The other side also has superhumans. If we can’t quickly deal with this Red Skull, we’ll wake them up, and three million people will become hostages,” Repalmer said, shaking his head.

"Besides, with such a large area of ​​enemy territory, we can't pinpoint Red Skull's exact location," Phoenix said calmly, arms crossed.

“It’s not enough for us to just talk here. Let’s go back and discuss it with them. Let’s hear what those speedsters have to say,” Dr. Stein suddenly said.

Just then, Adam suddenly spoke up: "Actually, there is a way."

"What? Oh, right, if you were to intervene, you could find Red Skull directly," Tony said, suddenly realizing something after seeing his older brother.

"That's not what I meant. My abilities aren't without limitations. For example, I can't see through super vision if the other party uses an energy shield, and there's also lead, etc." Adam shook his head and said.

"So what's your idea?" Kara asked, looking at Adam.

"Hmm, have you from another world ever heard of the term 'time remnant'?" Adam asked Dr. Stein.

Because he knew that Dr. Stein and the Flash knew each other and had even worked together for a period of time. Of course, he had just overheard all of this during their conversation, not from Adam's memory.

"Time remnants? Oh, we know that. And not long ago, we were almost destroyed by a speedster's time remnants," Jefferson said with lingering fear.

"Mr. Adam, do you mean to have the four speedsters create a large amount of time residue and then use their power simultaneously to rescue these three million people?" Dr. Stein frowned and said, "But if the speedsters act recklessly, it will cause the Speed ​​Force to send out time ghosts to hunt them down."

"As long as the speedsters are fast enough, the three million people with time residuals won't cause too much trouble even if they leave," Adam said confidently. "You can ask Jay Garrick about this; perhaps that will help us get through this difficult time. And if something really happens, we can ask Doctor Strange to remove the time traces from the speedsters."

"It's a good thing Captain Liphunt didn't come along," Jefferson said speechlessly upon hearing that someone here could manipulate time with magic.

“Since this is a possibility, perhaps we can give it a try. Of course, we should first go back and discuss the feasibility with Mr. Jay Garrick,” Dr. Stein said with a shrug.

"Alright, everyone, follow me to the teleportation room. I'll take you there!" Athena said with a smile after seeing this.

Everyone agreed, so they walked with Athena into the teleportation chamber. At that moment, Kara came to Adam, who was still sitting in his original seat.

Aren't you going to help?

“I’m not needed for the time being, and I have some things to take care of.” Adam paused slightly and smiled as he looked at Kara.

“I’ve heard about your situation from Tony. Although the government has indeed gone too far, I also had a very difficult time when I first started in that world. I wanted to help everyone, but I was attacked repeatedly. However, when I thought about those innocent citizens who still needed my help, I would still step forward.” Kara slowly recounted some of her experiences.

“My situation is a little different from yours, but don’t worry, I won’t stand idly by,” Adam said without further explanation.

“Okay, I don’t know if you understand what this ‘s’ means. On Krypton, it means hope, peace, and kindness. I hope you can figure it out soon.” Kara sighed, then quickly followed Athena and the others out of the watchtower.

Chapter 449 Countdown to the Final Battle

"What? Create time remnants?" Wally was startled upon hearing this and asked, "And in large quantities?"

“That’s what Mr. Adam said, and it seems to be the only relatively safe method,” Dr. Stein said with a wry smile.

"Jay, do you think this is feasible?" Wally asked Jay Garrick, unable to make up his mind.

“Normally, this wanton creation of time remnants would cause the Speed ​​Force to send out time wraiths to punish us, but I think if we only use time remnants to help us for a short period of time and then rotate them frequently, it should be fine, right?” Jay Garrick was also a little unsure whether this would be dangerous.

Seeing the people from another world discussing the Speed ​​Force and the remnants of time, the people of the native world were somewhat puzzled.

"What are you talking about, the time remnant?" Black Widow asked.

"This is a unique ability of speedsters. With the help of the Speed ​​Force, speedsters can travel through timelines, so they can travel back to the future a few minutes in advance and summon their past selves here. That's roughly how it works," Dr. Stein explained to Black Widow. "Back then, such actions couldn't be taken lightly because speedsters can influence timelines, and no one but the speedsters would know what has been changed. Therefore, the Speed ​​Force also has some limitations on speedsters. For example, there are black lightning bolts specifically tasked with hunting down remnants of time, and time ghosts responsible for hunting down those who have trespassed through timelines, and so on."

"So, the time remnants they created are ultimately doomed to die?" Hawkeye asked.
