Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

The fighting was over, and Officer George directed paramedics and officers to quickly take over the scene.

Soon after, S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel joined in, with technicians holding various instruments and busily collecting data from the scene.

Lin Nan and his two companions arrived at Stark Tower shortly afterward.

Tony called the restaurant and ordered three large hamburgers, which were delivered shortly afterward. He picked up one, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed half of it in one bite.

Lin Nan's face was covered in an aura of force, and he twitched slightly. How much does this guy love American cheeseburgers? He had never seen a rich person eat like this before.

"Eat up, don't be shy!" Tony urged.

Lin Nan then picked one up, took a bite, and just then heard Captain America sigh.

"The world has changed so much. I woke up one morning and everything had changed."

"Captain, you should study more. The costume you're wearing is outdated," Tony joked.

Lin Nan chewed his food, observing Captain America's expression. In his memory, Captain America initially looked down on Tony's behavior of hiding his flesh in steel.

While Loki's use of magic and his scepter to subtly provoke him was a factor, it also revealed a part of his deeper subconscious thoughts.

Surprisingly, Captain America showed no displeasure. Instead, he picked up a hamburger, took a bite, and looked thoughtful and reflective.

Could it be that, having witnessed the Hulk's destructive power and his own helplessness, he came to terms with it in advance?

"Maybe I really am falling behind."

After a long while, he sighed: "But I will still fight to the end with my own flesh and blood. It is a soldier's duty."

Tony was slightly moved by what he saw. As the saying goes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon, and Steve's words left him a little speechless.

"Knight, you mean Loki... that god of mischief, what is his purpose in controlling the Hulk?"

Tony changed the subject and started discussing serious matters.

Captain America straightened up slightly and listened intently.

"His goal is simple: to declare war on us in the most high-profile way. You have to remember Tony. He is proud and arrogant, and he is trying to gain the approval of his father, the God King. So some of his actions can be understood as a show."

Lin Nan finished his hamburger and spoke slowly.

Actually, this burger is really good; Tony has decent taste.

"He just didn't expect that Hulk would actually be defeated. For him, it would be a great disgrace to have the monster he had worked so hard to find for several days be so easily defeated."

"Next, he will be even more high-profile, and the Cosmic Cube he took away will require a lot of energy to open the space gate. It must be a place with huge energy that can attract everyone's attention."

Tony followed Lin Nan's train of thought and casually added, "This place must be very flashy and conspicuous..."

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "This is why you asked me to increase security at Stark Tower?"

Lin Nan nodded: "Yes, that's why I said he would definitely come to your side, Tony, get ready."

In fact, he felt that Loki was so cunning, with extremely high skill in illusion and magic, that even if Tony was well prepared, he would definitely not be able to defend against him.

“Tony, I need you to transfer the twins to the new Osborne building for internships. How are they doing lately?”

Tony pondered for a moment, then casually replied, "Pretty good, good talent. Yes, move those two kids out; this place will soon be unsettling."

Lin Nan stood up: "Captain, Tony, I'm leaving now. Let's talk again another time."

After saying that, without waiting for their reply, he jumped out of the French windows.

Captain America calculated the altitude and remarked with some admiration, "This knight really has character. Stark, he knows you well, you two know each other?"

Tony shrugged: "I don't know you. This is our first meeting. Also, I'm not a kid. Call me Mr. Iron Man Stark."

"..."

Tony thought to himself, "Maybe you know him too," but he didn't say it aloud.

Also, I have a strange sense of familiarity with Loki's core in Lin Nan's analysis.

Who is this person? High-profile, flamboyant, confident, and likes to make a big fuss…

It looks so familiar.

Chapter 95 The Prophecy of Fate

Tony was very efficient, and the twins quickly went to the new Osborne building as interns, working as assistants in the core project, the artificial sun laboratory.

Of course, Dr. Otto did not let them do it themselves, but only let them observe and learn from the side.

Pietro, being a seventeen-year-old boy, was full of curiosity and asked, "Dr. Otto, do you think that if the experiment is successful, it can really provide unlimited energy?"

Otto laughed and said, "Pietro, of course, this is world-changing technology."

Just then, Harry walked in and said to Pietro and Wanda, "Your practice area is ready. Come with me."

Dr. Otto nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

The three of them walked out together, crossed the corridor, and arrived at the practice room. They pulled up a long list from the tablet computer by the door.

“Wanda, I’m not familiar with your abilities. I asked Tony Stark, and he said he’ll stick with the previous training plan.”

“Pietro, your training program was customized by our Osborn Group. In terms of biotechnology, we are still ahead of Stark Industries, so you can rest assured.”

Wanda nodded, and said with some worry, "Harry... do you think we can win?"

Harry paused for a moment, then said, "If he says it can, then it definitely can."

Upon hearing this, Wanda murmured, "Yes, if he says he can win, he definitely can."

……

Loki was nowhere to be found again, so Lin Nan stopped searching for him and held a meeting at night to refine the plan and make several contingency plans.

The next day, at Midtown High School, he lay on his desk, seemingly drowsy, but his mind had already entered a lucid dream, simulating Loki's behavior patterns, thinking of countermeasures, and reasoning and reviewing the events.

"Lin, Lin, wake up!"

Suddenly feeling someone push her, Lin Nan opened her eyes and saw that it was Peter.

He frowned and asked, "Peter, what's wrong?"

Peter said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lin, I just noticed something's not right and wanted to discuss it with you about Attorney Matt."

"Attorney Matt... what's wrong?"

Peter frowned slightly and lowered his voice: "It's strange that Attorney Matt didn't attend the cipher meeting last night."

“It’s not surprising. He prefers to operate at night; he probably wasn’t asleep at the time.” Lin Nan thought for a moment, then asked, “Did you notice anything unusual?”

Peter's expression turned serious: "Last night, before the meeting, I saw Attorney Matt. His methods were different from usual; they were somewhat...bloody..."

Spider-Man was familiar with Matt's methods, and his words immediately caught Lin Nan's attention.

"How bloody was it? Tell me in detail."

Peter looked on with a look of reminiscence: "Yesterday he was stopping a human trafficking case and almost beat someone to death. I stopped him in time, and a life was saved."

“This is very unusual; Attorney Matt wasn’t like this before.”

Lin Nan leaned back and tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "This is definitely not normal, Peter. Keep a close eye on things and let me know if anything happens."

"Well, I will."

Gwen's voice came from afar. Peter got up and said goodbye to Lin Nan. The young couple left together.

Lin Nan sat there, his gaze deep. In his perception, Attorney Matt did not seem to be acting strangely, but his methods had changed drastically, which was indeed a bit odd.

Something must have happened that he doesn't know about.

The Harmony Dream Capsule is an active skill that requires active use, and its wide-ranging and high-precision use places too much strain on the mind.

With the threats from Loki and the Chitauri still looming, it's impossible to be all-encompassing, and oversights are inevitable.

These are turbulent times... When will things calm down...?

Night fell as expected. New Yorkers seemed somewhat quiet these past few days. The destruction caused by Hulk was still fresh in their minds. The streets were deserted, and the former prosperity was gone.

Lin Nan stood atop Stark Tower, his entire body covered in armor. He habitually gazed into the distance. Suddenly, he saw a seven-colored beam of light flash across the distant horizon, followed by a muffled clap of thunder.

Has Thor arrived?

His plasma propulsion wings unfolded behind him, and he flew towards the direction where the beam of light would land.

Before long, Thor, clad in armor and wielding Mjolnir, stood there majestically.

He heard a strange noise in the sky, raised his head warily, and saw a figure approaching. When he saw who it was, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Hello, guardian of the central courtyard, we meet again."

Saul extended a warm greeting.

Lin Nan landed beside him and nodded: "It came faster than I expected, Thor."

"Where is my brother? I'm taking him back to Asgard for trial."

Another high-speed whistling sound came from the sky, and Tony, wearing his Iron Man armor, landed beside the two with a thud.

"Another guy in a costume has arrived, a big guy. I heard from the knight that the guy who controlled the big green thing that was causing havoc in downtown New York is your brother?"

"He should first and foremost face legal judgment."

Tony's voice was very impolite. The statistics were out, and putting aside the property damage caused by the Hulk, the number of casualties was over two hundred. He felt extremely angry, all because of that god from Asgard.

“He is the prince of Asgard, the son of Odin, the god-king, and my brother. How could he possibly be judged by the people of Midgard?”

"He caused two hundred casualties!" Tony roared.

Saul quickly explained, "He's adopted, I don't know him!"

Lin Nan: "..."

Then, Thor said, "I'm sorry for causing such great damage. I will do everything I can to help you and protect Midgard."

His expression no longer showed the recklessness of the past, but rather a greater sense of rationality, and a hint of kingly demeanor.

With the addition of the enhanced Thor, the victory in the Battle of New York has gained another significant advantage.

Before Lin Nan could speak, Thor asked, "Knight, have you ever heard of the giant serpent Jormungandr?"
