Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

But this is completely ineffective against mutants who can teleport.

The opponent's long, thin tail possesses terrifying power; a single, swift lash can send an agent flying, coughing up blood.

The final scene shifts to the presidential office, where the president is protected by several armed agents.

Unfortunately, the mutant's abilities ultimately led to the president being stabbed, and several agents were killed.

Fortunately, a large number of agents arrived and kept pulling the trigger on the mutant, who eventually escaped.

The scene abruptly ended.

Skye's fingers tightened suddenly as she held the coffee cup, the warm cup unable to ward off the sudden chill.

She turned her head to look at Jessica beside her, and surprise and astonishment flashed in their eyes at the same time.

What's surprising isn't the mutants' shocking act of assassinating the president.

Instead, they all precisely captured the fleeting image of the mutant's face in the scene, specifically the pair of eyes that were completely black.

"So, it was that guy who did it?"

Chapter 244 Fully-Diamond Ultron and the Iron Man Crisis (Seventh Update)

“Not sure, but I really want to.” Skye shook her head at Jessica’s somewhat uncertain question.

Since we're unsure, we'll ask for your support.

Skye gently pressed the in-ear headphones she was wearing.

"Veronica."

“I am here, Ms. Skye. I have confirmed with headquarters, and the Information Detection and Defense Center has concluded that no fluctuations of dark power have been detected.”

A soft voice rang in Jessica and Skye's ears.

This is the artificial intelligence Veronica.

Developed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, it can greatly improve the efficiency of docking and network processing.

Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly the most advanced technology in modern times, but that is strong artificial intelligence.

For example, Jarvis, developed by Tony Stark.

As for other forms of artificial intelligence, they are mostly low-level AI, which are very rudimentary.

Building and developing artificial intelligence may be very difficult for others.

But for Terra's technology department, which has enough money, equipment, and brilliant scientists, it's not too difficult.

The advantage of strong artificial intelligence lies in its ability to enhance logical thinking and computational capabilities.

Their initiative is at its peak.

For example, even before Skye spoke, Veronica was able to analyze Skye's real-time location and facial expressions using the wristwatch's positioning system and miniature camera to draw conclusions.

And take action.

He's probably similar to Tony Stark's Jarvis today.

In fact, there is room for further research and development, but the great Emperor Matthew stopped the progress of artificial intelligence development in this regard.

After all, AI-related disasters are indeed a bit scary.

Leaving aside the Ultron crisis created by Tony Stark, there's also the Ultron in the What If series, which is absolutely insane, having collected all six Infinity Stones.

Then consider the Iron Rebellion in the Warhammer world, which nearly destroyed the entire Imperium of Man.

Efficiency is sufficient now.

Matthew didn't want an AI crisis to occur within his organization, since the AI ​​that Tony Stark created wasn't actually that threatening.

But if it happens to Matthew, it's a completely different story.

His foundation is incredibly strong.

Even a small crisis could easily escalate into a major crisis, and a truly global one at that.

Computing power is related to servers.

Terra is already building the world's largest server, so Veronica can also have a luxurious home, one that's definitely more luxurious than Jarvis's.

"Not that guy?"

Veronica clearly had nothing to do with the dark forces, but Skye seemed to be deep in thought.

She looked up: "I feel like there's something wrong with this."

"Hmm~"

Jessica, the hot-tempered young woman, smiled and said, "I smell that familiar scent again. Looks like that guy is determined to avoid us."

"Always being led by the nose like this."

Skye downed the coffee in her paper cup in one gulp and casually tossed it into a trash can on the side of the street.

Skye is not lacking in patience.

Or rather, in the Reich Warband, under Natasha's command, discipline, patience, and calmness are never lacking; they are the hallmarks of the Warband.

Because once you lose your composure and patience, you tend to become impulsive, which leads to a decline in your judgment.

They are extremely deadly in both missions and battles.

Skye hates that guy for resorting to any means necessary to drag mutants into the mess in order to escape her and Jessica's pursuit.

"This is a big problem for mutants."

“Yes, spread rumors, create panic, and then openly arrest mutants—standard procedure.” Jessica could already imagine what the US government would do next.

Those people don't care whether the mutant is being controlled or not.

They only saw one result.

The fact that a mutant assassinated the leader of the world's most powerful nation spreads a huge amount of negative sentiment.

Those in positions of power inherently view mutants with a "consumable" mentality.

In their minds, those mutants were just a group of experimental subjects, no different from the laboratory rats.

Perhaps the only difference is that these mutants are more valuable.

There is hope that we can break the limitations of short human lifespan and achieve a long life.

Those in positions of power and the wealthy do not lack wealth or power; what they lack is time—more time to enjoy that power and wealth.

As a result, this assassination attempt was seen as a very dangerous signal by those people.

The mutants couldn't hold back any longer.

The mutants are no longer willing to maintain the existing order, and they want to seek a completely new environment for mutants through assassinations and other means.

It's fine if the poor protest; they can ignore it. Due to Professor X's abnormal abilities as one of the world's strongest telepaths, the two sides can maintain a superficial peace, but rebellion is out of the question.

Who wants to live in constant fear of being assassinated by mutants?

Didn't you see that mutant could teleport instantly, ignoring space, walls, and defenses?

With such an ability to assassinate, who could withstand it?

Anyway, they don't think they can handle it.

Therefore, for their own safety, the simplest and most direct method is to kill them outright.

Using this assassination attempt as an opportunity, they can simply declare war.

Anyway, the mutants are the ones who are in the wrong.

hum~

At that moment, the watch vibrated slightly. Skye and Jessica looked at each other and raised their watches, where a line of text appeared.

After browsing through it, the two women's expressions didn't change much.

A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Um~~~"

Skye stretched out her arms and yawned vigorously: "Looks like we'll have to go to Washington."

"As expected."

Jessica didn't take it seriously.

"After all, in the eyes of our Emperor, those mutants have long been citizens of Terra. Didn't the Supreme Council propose a plan to incorporate mutants?"

"These people are waging war against mutants. Are they harming mutants? They're harming the people of Terra."

Jessica made a small joke.

Skye laughed heartily.

"Let's go, we're about to cause a big scene."

.......

In Washington, D.C., a stench and dust permeate the air inside a spacious, old, abandoned, and dilapidated church.

The sun unexpectedly appeared in the sky that day.

The bright sunshine, however, only illuminates the oppressive atmosphere and hustle and bustle of this city.

With the president assassinated, Washington was already boiling over like water being boiled.

Personnel from multiple agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, have gathered, and the National Guard has been deployed to cordon off the area around the White House and the core area of ​​Washington, D.C.

Streets were blocked off, checkpoints were set up, large numbers of armed police patrolled, and helicopters and fighter jets flew overhead from time to time.

This has caused tension among Washington residents.

After all, this is a bit too much.

It was right before the start of war.

A storm is brewing.

But on that very day, the mutant who assassinated the president was found.

Chapter 245 The Prelude to World War (Eighth Update)

Meanwhile, it was inside the church.

Several uninvited guests have arrived.

Dressed in simple casual clothes, they were none other than Jean Grey (Phoenix), Ororo (Storm), Scott Lang (Cyclops), and Logan (Wolverine) from the X-Men.

The intrusion of five people shattered the church's tranquility.

The main hall of the church is very large and very empty. Two of the walls are gone, and only a few main beams support the ceiling.

Sunlight streams in, making the place very bright.

Upon entering the abandoned church building, Logan couldn't help but frown and rub his nose.

Just like his nickname Wolverine, he not only has an indestructible adamantium skeleton, but also the senses of a wild beast.

Their hearing, vision, and smell are far beyond those of ordinary people.

The stench emanating from here was far too irritating for him.

Fortunately, he adapted quickly. Perhaps he had experienced even harsher environments before.

"Hmm, is that kid really here?"

Logan looked around; dust was everywhere, and layers of tattered cloth hanging from the beams obscured much of his view.

"The professor said his last known location was right here, and it hasn't changed." Laser-Eye Scott's brow furrowed behind his glasses.
