...stealing credit?
Tony looked out the window at the huge fight between the crowd and could not see any intention of trying to steal the credit. Instead, he felt that all parties were engaging in a life-and-death duel.
Zuo Yu spread his hands: "Believe me, they have been very restrained."
Tony twitched his lips and said noncommittally: "You said you are an organization hidden in the dark side of the earth?"
"That's right."
"Then how do you explain the identity of this Fire Goddess? After all, according to you, she has a whole kingdom of believers, and the number and scale are not small. Such a deity should have its beliefs spread all over the world, but I have never heard of it..."
"It's simple, aliens, or parallel universes, it depends on how you interpret it."
"… Is this how the members of your organization come from?"
"That's about right. You can think of it as the guardian of Earth civilization in the multiverse."
Zuo Yu said this long name with a smile.
Tony was stunned when he heard this. From this name, he learned at least two important pieces of information. First, this organization is a multi-dimensional force that spans the multiverse. Second, the purpose of this organization seems to be to protect the Earth civilization of each world...
"As for your third question, who brought us together... you actually already know the answer to this question."
Hearing Zuo Yu's smiling words, Tony was stunned for a moment, and then he recalled the mysterious young man who bought the artificial intelligence from him.
"Is it Lin?"
Tony blurted out.
Zuo Yu smiled and nodded: "That's right."
After getting Zuo Yu's affirmative answer, Tony couldn't help but fall silent.
Lin Zhongtian was the most mysterious and powerful being he had ever seen in his life.
If it was Lin, maybe he really had the power to restrain this group of powerful superpowers...
After a brief thought, Tony stood up and said, "Okay, since you and Lin are willing to vouch for them, I can not interfere. As for the Cosmic Cube you mentioned and the so-called future that seems to be predicted by charlatans, I will verify it myself."
"However, just because I am willing to believe you doesn't mean Nick Fury and SHIELD are willing to believe you."
"…Give me a deadline. How long are you going to make trouble?"
Zuo Yu thought for a moment and raised three fingers: "Three days, at most three days, they will leave this world."
Tony thought about it, then nodded, and quietly ordered Jarvis to close his visor, start the engines and thrusters all over his body, and turned into a beam of fire and left the Rivers Hotel.
…
…
At the same time, on the street not far away.
Deng Yougang pulled the pitch-black gun from the ground, glanced at the blond man lying flat on the ground behind him with his buttocks raised to the sky, and a slightly restrained smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Just stay true to your American ass, Captain."
"This world is no longer the world you know."
"That super soldier thing... is so outdated!"
As he spoke, Deng Yougang shook his head, then cracked the ground with his feet, and turned into a shadow running towards the direction of the New York Temple.
With the blessing of the so-called protagonist halo, Steve "Five-Five" Rogers can indeed fight on equal terms with the strong, but that is a life-and-death fight.
As long as Deng Yougang has no intention of killing Steve, he will still be an ordinary super soldier.
This kind of Captain America can't even beat Deng Yougang in his normal state, let alone be his opponent in Godzilla state.
After Deng Yougang drove away, the pedestrians who had watched the fight between the two men came out of the shelter one after another, looking at Steve who had fallen unconscious with excitement, disappointment, or anger.
But no matter what their expressions were, everyone did basically the same thing - they took out their mobile phones and recorded videos.
Some brave ones even held up their cell phones and walked carefully towards the fallen Captain America.
As to whether they intended to wake Steve up out of kindness and use the video as evidence, or to film Steve's ugly defeated appearance in order to mock Captain America or gain profit, it is unknown.
Because before they got close, a beam of fire fell from the sky, revealing the golden-red paint of the steel battle suit.
"It's Iron Man!"
Everyone exclaimed, and the men and women holding their mobile phones gathered around excitedly.
"Mr. Stark, can you answer a few questions for me?"
"Is this guy on the ground really Captain America, or has the government already planned to train a second generation of Captain America?"
"Mr. Stark, I'm your fan, can you take a picture with me?"
"Mr. Stark, who was the person Captain America just fought with? A superhero or a supervillain?"
"Mr. Stark..."
Iron Man Tony was already used to the noisy sounds that reached his ears.
He casually scattered a stack of banknotes all over the sky, causing people around him to scramble for them.
After his ears were quiet, he looked at the unconscious Steve and muttered, "Looks like you owe me one, buddy..."
Soon, a loud roar was heard, and the people who were scrambling for money were suddenly awakened. They looked back hurriedly, only to find that Iron Man had already taken this opportunity to take Steve away.
Everyone looked disappointed.
But luckily they had recorded all the scenes just now, as long as they posted it online...
"Hey, where's my video?!"
Everyone cried out in surprise and looked at each other, all of them confused.
…
…
As the tiny sounds reached his ears, Steve finally opened his eyes.
The darkness before my eyes was torn apart by the light, slowly opening like a curtain.
The first thing that catches your eye is Tony Stark's annoying face.
Even though this guy was the biological son of his old friend Howard Stark, he was not lovable at all, let alone showing friendly respect to his uncle who was a descendant of his father's generation.
"...Where am I?"
Steve rubbed the back of his head which was a little sore and swollen.
Tony leaned against the bulkhead with his arms folded across his chest, whistled, and said with a smile, "Your favorite place, fighter plane."
“…”
Not-so-nice memories came to his mind, Steve twitched the corner of his mouth and got out of bed.
"I remember now, I was fighting with that kid just now...where is that kid?"
"He ran!" Tony shrugged. "He ran very fast. His running speed on the street was almost close to the speed of sound. He didn't even need to slow down when turning, and he didn't hit any pedestrians or vehicles during the run."
"Honestly, even Jarvis would find it difficult to achieve perfection in such a rapid series of responses in such a short period of time."
“But he did it…”
"I didn't think I could catch up to him without causing a commotion, so I prioritized rescuing you."
After hearing Tony's explanation, Steve couldn't help but fall silent.
Recalling the battle scene before he fell into a coma, Steve was filled with shock and pity.
He was shocked by Deng Yougang's strength and speed that were beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even his experience and skills were far beyond his.
As for what he pitied, it was the fate of the child. After all, when fighting with him, Deng Yougang was still in Godzilla state, with black scales covering both sides of his cheeks.
This appearance made Steve think of genetic experiments and the super soldier program...
Thinking of this, a hint of anger emerged in Steve's eyes.
He pulled out the needle from his body and said in a deep voice: "We must stop them."
Tony was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "No need, I have already communicated with their leader. They will calm down in three days at most, and there will be no casualties during this period. As for the building damage and economic losses, Rivers Industries will compensate for them all..."
"They're using children for human experiments!"
Steve interrupted Tony with a frown.
Tony was stunned: "...You mean that child?"
Steve said coldly: "What else?"
Tony said with a smile: "Don't you know that there is a kind of people in China called warriors? That child is a typical Chinese warrior, not a super soldier or the product of genetic experiments..."
"He had black scales on his body and looked like a crocodile or something."
“…Is there?”
Hearing Steve's words, Tony couldn't help but recall.
Unfortunately, when he arrived, Deng Yougang had already exited Godzilla state.
The Deng Yougang Tony saw was a normal human teenager.
Since the two parties have inconsistent information, it is naturally difficult to reach a consensus.
At this moment, several alarms suddenly sounded outside the bulkhead.
Hearing the alarm, Tony immediately raised his hand to signal Steve not to speak, then took out his cell phone and frowned as he flipped through the information that Jarvis had stolen from the SHIELD system.
"Illegal virus invasion, warning!"
"Illegal virus invasion, warning!"
Looking at the red words on the screens around him, Nick Fury's cheek muscles twitched suddenly.
He knew with just a thought that the only person on the fighter plane who dared to and could invade the SHIELD system was Iron Man Tony Stark!
Nick Fury took a deep breath, looked at Natasha, and then turned and walked into the cabin together.
Soon, Nick Fury pushed open the iron door and looked at Tony Stark with unfriendly eyes.
"Mr. Stark, what are you doing?"
"What the hell am I doing?" Tony glanced at Nick Fury, then put his phone on the table, pointed at the picture on it and sneered, "I should be the one asking you this!"
"What is the Cosmic Cube, and what is the Dark Energy Joint Operation?"
"Jed told me that you were secretly researching things that humans couldn't master, which caused dangers that you couldn't control, forcing them to come forward and clean up your mess."
"I was skeptical about this before, but now..."
Tony sneered: "I believe you can do anything."
Nick Fury calmly said, "Does fighting in the United States also involve cleaning up one's ass?"
Tony curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with employees competing for performance?"
Seeing Tony's obvious attitude towards Zuo Yu and others, Nick Fury frowned and realized that something was wrong.
In the past two years, the two shareholders of Rivers Industries have dealt with Tony Stark far more often than S.H.I.E.L.D., and their attitude is more like that of a friend rather than an agent or a superior.
This led to Tony being more willing to trust Zuo Yu rather than SHIELD.
In this case, any explanation seems like a sophistry...
Thinking of this, Nick Fury thought for a moment and spoke in a slower tone.
"We may have done something wrong, but now is not the time to worry about that... You said they promised to disappear in three days, but what if they are still fighting in New York in three days?"
Tony said coldly: "Then I will naturally stop them."
Nick Fury said calmly: "See, you think the same as we do."
"It's just that we don't have your high-performance iron suit. If we want them to hear our voices, we must have a means of checks and balances. The Cosmic Cube is that means, but unfortunately, it is no longer in our hands."
"Mr. Stark, I know you have a good personal relationship with Mr. Zuo, but he is now a member of that mysterious organization, and we are your partners who stand on the side of the Earth, or on the side of humanity!"
Having said that, Nick Fury paused, turned around, took the two documents from Natasha, and handed them to Tony and Steve respectively.
"This is a psychological profile and ability summary of that group of superpowered people made by SHIELD."
"After losing the Cosmic Cube, it is difficult for SHIELD to use conventional means to deter them. You and the captain, the two of you, and those superpowered people I showed you in the video, are the ultimate means for SHIELD to deal with them - or in your words, to use them as a check and balance!"
"So... take a look."
Nick Fury calmly handed the documents to the two men.
Tony frowned and took the file with Steve.
When he opened the document, the first page showed Zuo Yu's handsome smiling face with dark red pupils. Next to this mixed-race face, there was a line of eye-catching red characters -
Extremely dangerous!
