Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, this unfathomable powerhouse, closed her eyes, trying to sense the aura from afar.

After a long while, having gained nothing, she sighed softly, stroked the pendant on her chest, and fell into deep thought.

This fluctuation feels familiar; it seems like I've seen it somewhere before.

She searched through her vast memory and finally found a similar trace.

One night, she entered a state between sleep and wakefulness, and in her hazy state, she seemed to discover a special crimson dimension that stretched across the dream dimension.

I glanced over there subconsciously, but unexpectedly, that dimension seemed to have sensed my prying eyes, shattered suddenly, and disappeared.

After that, it was impossible to find it again; it must have been deliberately hidden by the dimensional master.

Now this fluctuation has reappeared, no longer hidden in the dream; judging from the fluctuation, it has manifested in the gap between reality and dreams.

Who exactly is that being? Compared to that terrifying glimpse last time, his power has clearly increased considerably, and he is now able to influence reality.

In the long life of Gu Yi, it had been a long time since she had felt this kind of emotion similar to "interest". The last time was when she saw the cause and effect of a certain doctor. This time it was more ethereal and more interesting.

"king!"

As Gu Yi gave a soft call, a middle-aged, slightly overweight man in a brown robe walked in. He had a buzz cut, a slight beard, and a serious expression.

"Your Excellency, did you seek me out?"

Gu nodded, his tall figure pacing slowly: "Keep an eye on the New York Sanctuary lately, see if there's anything unusual."

"What happened that requires your personal attention?"

Clearly, Wang had rarely seen the Ancient One act this way. He sensed the seriousness of the situation and asked another question.

"If you can't see clearly and don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, you just need to observe from the shadows and not actively engage with the real world."

"Is there anything you can't see clearly?"

"There are too many things I can't see clearly, Your Majesty," Gu Yi smiled.

Wang asked no further questions, bowed, withdrew, and closed the door.

……

A day later, in New York City, Lin Nan was still buried in the coded base, studying the small space.

Although he was the builder, this space originated from his subconscious and may contain some little secrets that he is not yet aware of.

In the Spider-Man training room, he was holding a tiny drone, about the size of a finger, and excitedly shouted, "Lin, look, it really worked!"

The little thing, jet black with several red stripes, looked like a lifelike mechanical spider and was crawling around in Peter's palm. Dr. Otto stood by with some satisfaction.

"Lin, look, this is the reconnaissance drone I just developed. It's only the size of a fingernail, can adapt to all kinds of terrain, and is very flexible."

Peter proudly demonstrated how he transmitted the captured image to the tablet on the table.

The image is extremely clear, and there are various energy parameters monitored in the upper right corner, making it easy to see at a glance.

The potential uses of this space have already exceeded Lin Nan's expectations.

It provided these eccentric researchers with a completely safe and all-powerful laboratory, as well as extremely comprehensive simulation conditions, greatly shortening the distance between theory and reality.

"Peter, you could also try installing a hang glider on your suit. That would greatly enhance your mobility," Lin Nan suggested with a smile.

Peter scratched his head: "Lin, your suggestion is very good. I've already considered it, but I haven't decided on the materials yet."

“We can use the new materials from the Osborn Group; I can provide them.”

Just then, Harry's voice came from outside the door. He had just come in from the bedroom closet and saw that Agent One Spider-Man's training room was wide open. Out of curiosity, he walked in.

He happened to overhear a conversation that struck a chord with his area of ​​expertise.

“We can use the new alloy from my father’s equipment to build the hang glider frame, and then use Peter’s infinite spider silk to connect it under the armpits. This will basically allow us to open the hang glider instantly.”

Dr. Otto's eyes lit up: "It can also be equipped with a neural interface to achieve precise control at the millisecond level."

The three mad scientists immediately became extremely interested and gathered together to discuss it.

"Drones aren't just for surveillance; they can incorporate sound waves, electromagnetic interference, and, in extreme cases, explosives!"

That's Harry's voice.

"No, no, no, the explosion is unstable. This kind of thing needs to be stuffed into my suit. I don't want to get blown up."

Peter raised objections.

“They can be made smaller, gradually improved, and developed in the direction of nanorobots,” Otto said.

“Actually, Peter, the material of your suit can also be changed in many ways. You can decide which suit to wear depending on the situation. For example, when facing me, you can install a magnetic disturbance pulse and install a high-frequency vibrating blade on your arm. I named it the Anti-Octopus Suit, Spider-Man version.”

Speechless. Otto is truly selfless, providing Spider-Man with ideas that contradict his own.

Lin Nan gave a wry smile, unable to get a word in edgewise, and left the No. 1 Special Agent Training Room, sitting in a chair in a daze.

Energy fluctuations, red and silver, emanated from training rooms three and four from time to time, flashing continuously.

Wanda and Pietro's training has basically moved here. No one will disturb them, and it's completely confidential. They can train their abilities freely.

Only Norman and Daredevil haven't come in yet.

Attorney Matt went to see that mysterious old man and hasn't returned home yet.

Norman had not yet left S.H.I.E.L.D., so there was no familiar entrance and no passageway had been set up for the time being.

As he thought about it, Lin Nan smiled. With this place, his team would become stronger and more stable, eventually growing into a towering tree.

As for Thor…

Heimdall should have notified him long ago; why hasn't he returned to Earth after a whole day?

"I roam freely, commanding respect from all!"

Lin Nan's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that the caller ID showed Tony.

"Hey Tony, any new discoveries?"

"No, my satellites have searched everywhere and found no trace of the Hand or Kingpin that you mentioned."

This was expected; such a large and ancient organization always has some mysterious ways of hiding, so I wasn't too disappointed.

"If you can't find it, then don't bother looking. Technology won't cut it. Let's just wait for Thor to come back and use some magic."

"Is that snake really that dangerous?"

"Thor isn't one to brag, don't you think?"

Tony paused for two seconds, then asked, "Why use the word 'awesome' to describe something as amazing?"

"What kind of thought process is this?" Lin Nan thought helplessly. "Is this what you're focusing on?"

"Because it's incredibly awesome."

"...That makes sense..."

Lin Nan slammed down the phone, slumped into her chair, and let out a long sigh.

"Thor, what are you doing? I don't want to go and fight a fully resurrected Jormungandr."

The snake in the dream was just a fragment of consciousness, only that big. If it were to be resurrected in the real world, how big would it be?

The strange form might not be able to defeat it, and in reality, we haven't tested how big it can grow, or whether the power increase is as intense as in the dream.

These are all uncertain factors.

Lin Nan in the central courtyard was very anxious, and Thor in Asgard was even more anxious.

In the Asgardian prison, Loki sat calmly, toying with a feather in his hand, watching it fall and then rise again.

"Loki, stop playing around, I need your help," Thor said, knocking on the cell door and frowning.

“My dear elder brother, don’t you consider yourself invincible? Why would you beg me for help? It’s not befitting your status as the heir.”

"You let me in, and now you want to let me out? What do you take me for, a toy? I won't help you. Figure out your own problems."

Control, control!

Thor took a few deep breaths, suppressing the urge to hit someone, and forced a smile: "Loki, I've always admitted that your magical talent is the best in the Nine Realms, even better than your mother."

"Besides, how can this be my business? This is Asgard's business. If that giant serpent were to come back to life, it would cause endless harm."

Loki finally showed a slight change in expression, but still snorted coldly, "I'm not their biological son, what does Asgard have to do with me!"

“I know you don’t think that way, Loki. You are still the prince of Asgard. Your father and mother love you very much, and you love them too. I can feel it.”

Loki raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Oh, I didn't expect my good brother to say such a thing. Did you learn it from that knight?"

"Thor, this isn't your style, it's too forced!"

"Loki, you know whether I'm telling the truth or not!"

The two brothers stood facing each other across a doorway, locked in a long standoff. After a long while, Loki sighed and slumped down.

"I can help you, but I want my freedom. You can't keep me locked up here anymore."

"What if you go out and cause trouble in the central courtyard again? The guardians went easy on you this time, but what about next time?"

"Brother, do you think I'm a fool? There are so many guardians in the central courtyard, why would I guard that crooked tree?"

Thor thought about it and realized it made sense. He sighed and said, "If you make another mistake, I'll lock you up again."

"Trust me, it's a win-win situation. I'll help you find the serpent, and you'll persuade Odin and my mother to give me my freedom. It's fair."

Thor nodded, turned and left: "I'll discuss it with my father and mother, and then I'll give you an answer."

"Hurry up, I might change my mind in a bit."

After Thor left, Loki breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the bed and sneered, "The giant snake..."

"Anything that threatens Asgard... deserves to die, Father. One day you will understand that I am more fit to be the King of Asgard than my elder brother!"

"Only I can protect Asgard and stop Ragnarok!"

On the vast, boundless blue surface of the Pacific Ocean, several black dots appeared.
