Chapter 125 Monster invasion, wailing echoes throughout Brooklyn!
"Brooklyn is the most populous of New York's five boroughs, with over two million residents. If all two million people in Brooklyn turned into monsters, then..."
Steve didn't finish his sentence, but everyone in the Illuminati understood what would happen once the two million people in Brooklyn turned into monsters!
"We must evacuate the people of Brooklyn now, as many as we can."
Looking at Lynn, Tony Stark immediately said, "Lynn, how much time do we have?"
"Three hours!"
Lynn picked up the phone and started dialing a number, saying, "Stephen said that in a maximum of three hours, dark magic will sweep across all of Brooklyn!"
...
On a Brooklyn street.
Watching the Military's vehicles and helicopters continuously transport people away, Lynn approached General Ross and said, "Thank you for your help, General Ross!"
"It's nothing!"
General Ross took out a cigarette and lit it, watching the civilians boarding vehicles around him, then said, "Ever since darkness enveloped New York, the Department of Defense has instructed us to follow your command."
"After waiting a day and a night, your call finally came!"
Seeing his subordinate report that the people in this street block had successfully evacuated, General Rossordered his subordinate to proceed to the next block for evacuation.
After giving the order, General Ross looked at Lynn and asked, "So, those damned Vampires' target this time is Brooklyn?"
"That's right!"
Facing General Ross's question, Lynn nodded and said, "It's still unclear exactly where in Brooklyn it's happening, but if we can't evacuate all two million people within three hours, then for every person remaining, we will face one more monster!"
"F***!"
Throwing his cigarette to the ground and crushing it, General Ross snorted and said, "If I knew where those Vampires' lair was, I'd just launch dozens of missiles and blast those bastards into dust!"
As he spoke, General Ross looked around, then whispered to Lynn, "You also need to make more preparations. I received news that Congress is ready to launch nuclear bombs."
"Once your Illuminati and Avengers fail, those bastards will launch nuclear bombs at New York, and possibly more than one."
"Don't think New York is the largest city in the U.S.; compared to the safety of the United States, New York is nothing!"
"Also, some people have long coveted the Avengers. Ever since Nick Fury was expelled from S.H.I.E.L.D., they've been discussing the proposal to turn the Avengers into a 'tool'!"
"So if you win this time..."
General Ross didn't continue, but Lynn understood his meaning: "Thanks, but I'm the leader of the Illuminati, not a member of the Avengers!"
"Oh, come on!"
Hearing Lynn say this, General Ross took out another cigarette from the pack and offered it to Lynn: "I don't believe you'd be willing to see the Avengers become a tool for power struggles!"
Lynn took the cigarette from General Ross's hand, lit it, and smiled, "It would indeed be a bit of a shame if the Avengers became a tool!"
As the two were talking, a series of red lights suddenly appeared on the street ahead.
Not only the street ahead, but the surrounding blocks, and even various blocks throughout Brooklyn, all flickered with red light.
"It's about to begin!"
Hearing Lynn's sigh, General Ross immediately ordered, "Everyone, listen up! Speed up immediately! If civilians refuse to cooperate, compulsory measures can be taken!"
On the streets of Brooklyn, countless residents were currently being continuously boarded onto evacuation vehicles under the arrangement of Military soldiers.
Whenever a vehicle was full of evacuees, it would immediately start and quickly leave the area.
Even when some people were unwilling to leave, the soldiers would point their dark muzzles at them.
Watching the Military soldiers' rough methods, Steve Rogers frowned.
"Although the methods are a bit rough, this is saving their lives."
Seeing Steve's expression, Tony, who was helping maintain order, walked over and said, "So we'd better not stop them, otherwise you know what the consequences will be if these people stay in Brooklyn!"
Hearing Tony say this, Steve, holding his shield, said, "I know, so I didn't stop them. I just don't know how many people won't make it out when the disaster strikes!"
"So we need to speed up!"
Looking at the civilians lining up to board the cars, Tonysaid, "I have to say, Wanda's ability is quite good. In just half an hour, the magic she released successfully moved tens of thousands of people!"
At this point, Tony turned to Steve: "Friday clearly sent messages to everyone in Brooklyn informing them, but still many people..."
He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly heard a commotion from not far away.
Turning to look, he saw a group of black men rushing out of the crowd, shouting something as they ran into the alley.
"Tsk."
Seeing this, Tony Stark spread his hands and said, "See, this is 'freedom'!"
Lynn's side.
"Lynn, I feel like these red lights emerging from underground are a bit familiar."
Coming to Lynn's side, Wanda looked at the red light in front of her, then stretched out her hand and released Crimson Magic.
The next second, the Crimson Magic and those red lights subtly merged, and then Wanda seemed to sense something, her whole body involuntarily trembling.
"Oh my God..."
Seeing Wanda trembling and seemingly unstable, Lynnimmediately reached out and supported her: "What's wrong?"
"This red light is a portal opening to a certain dimension. I just saw that beyond the portal was a mass of purple mist, and within the mist were all monsters!"
"And, anyone who absorbs the purple mist will be assimilated into these monsters!"
Hearing Wanda say this, Lynn immediately pressed his comms earpiece and said, "Everyone, put on the gas masks you've prepared."
After telling everyone about Wanda's discovery, Lynnthen said to Wanda, "It's a good thing you sensed it, Wanda, otherwise this trouble would have been much bigger!"
"I'm glad I could help you, and I don't know why this resonates with my ability, but I always feel this power is very familiar!"
Watching Wanda frown in thought, Lynn gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Although he said that, Lynn didn't think it was a coincidence.
The Crimson Magic energy Wanda was currently releasing was not complete Chaos Magic; Wanda had not yet mastered true Chaos Magic.
But she just said that this power seemed to come from another dimension, and it also gave her a sense of familiarity.
So Lynn guessed that this dimension was very likely the dimension created by the God of the Underworld Chthon.
It's important to know that Chthon was the first dark sorcerer in the Universe, also known as the God of Dark magic.
And the one causing this disaster on Earth was precisely a dark sorcerer!
Watching Wanda leave, Lynn flew into the air.
At this moment, within the vast Brooklyn, Militaryvehicles and helicopters were continuously transporting civilians away, a truly magnificent sight.
But there were always some people who, when the Military soldiers weren't paying attention, secretly ran off, even if they were discovered, they completely ignored the shouts behind them.
Lynn didn't care about the lives of these people at all.
As time slowly passed, the red light on the various streets of Brooklyn grew stronger and stronger.
Under the dark sky, the entire Brooklyn was made extremely eerie by the red light.
During this process, Stephen Strange's text message never came, so it seemed he hadn't yet tracked down that damned dark sorcerer!
Thinking of this, Lynn said to General Ross, "General Ross, time is almost up, your Military personnel should start evacuating too!"
Hearing Lynn say this, General Ross nodded: "Then you all be careful. If needed, we have already deployed missiles!"
After shaking hands with Lynn, General Ross got into his car and ordered the evacuation.
Neither of them mentioned the civilians who refused to cooperate with the evacuation; after all, they had been given the opportunity, and since they made their choice, they had to bear the consequences!
After the Military rapidly evacuated, Lynn also put on the gas mask he had prepared beforehand.
As time passed, the red light completely enveloped Brooklyn.
The Illuminati and the Avengers had already gathered, and the next second, these red lights transformed directly into portals.
As the portals opened, purple mist instantly enveloped all of Brooklyn, and within this dense purple mist, the roars of monsters continuously echoed!
Seeing this, Lynn and Steve both stepped forward simultaneously.
"Illuminati, assemble!"
"Avengers, assemble!"
Listening to their solemn tones, all the superheroes immediately prepared for battle!
At the same time, in an alley somewhere in Brooklyn.
"Those Military bitches actually tried to force us to leave, F***, this must be a conspiracy between the Military and the Illuminati. You all saw it on TV, ever since New Yorkwent dark, Vampires have invaded. Maybe the Illuminatiand the Military can't beat the Vampires, so they want to take us away and feed us to the Vampires!"
Leaning against the wall and lighting a self-made "cigarette," the black man took a satisfying puff, then handed the cigarette to his companion: "Damn it, if we leave, where are we going to get this stuff?"
Mid-sentence, he noticed his companion hadn't responded, so the black man opened his eyes and saw his companion enveloped in purple mist, and the mist was also spreading around them.
"Hey, Robert, what are you—"
Before the black man could finish calling out to his companion, the next second, he saw his companion's body making Strange noises, then turning into a monster and biting his shoulder.
"Ah!!!"
His entire arm bitten off, the intense pain made the black man scream as he ran out of the alley.
But before he could get out, a several-meter-long, slime-covered tongue wrapped around him and quickly pulled him back.
Soon after, chewing sounds echoed from within the alley.
Almost simultaneously, screams filled some areas of Brooklyn.
Inside a building in Manhattan.
Watching the video, Lynn Hall led the Illuminati and Avengers members, who were fiercely battling the monsters emerging from the portal.
Count Dras put down his red wine glass and said, "The Archdeacon's plan has succeeded. Darkness has begun to spread across the United States. Now, it's finally my turn to make an appearance!"
Hearing Count Dras's words, a very respectful subordinate standing by immediately looked up and said, "Count, this is very dangerous. After all, whether it's Lynn Hall or..."
"For the sake of the Vampires, sacrifice is sometimes very necessary!"
"Besides, if I don't die, how can My Lord help me complete my 'evolution'? I don't have the idiotic idea of Count Alex. In this World, only strength is the most important thing!"
With that, Count Dras opened the window and immediately transformed into a bat, flying towards Brooklyn.
Watching Count Dras fly away, the subordinate, who had been standing respectfully, chuckled, then turned around and looked at the empty room, saying, "Heard enough?"
As soon as the subordinate finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of him: "You almost fooled me, Archdeacon. If it weren't for the Orb of Hogoth, I probably would have thought that half-human, half-skeleton guy was the leader of the Dark Mages."
"After all, who would have thought that the Archdeacon of the Vampires would be Count Dras's attendant?"
The one who came was none other than Stephen Strange.
Watching Stephen Strange release magic and assume a fighting stance, the Archdeacon chuckled and said, "You found the truth faster than I expected. No wonder Ancient One said you were the best one!"
"But it doesn't matter. Once I kill you, and after darkness completely descends, even if Ancient One returns from the depths of the Universe, there will be nothing she can do!"
As his voice fell, a dozen Dark Mages appeared out of thin air around Strange!
"I already expected this move from you, but do you think I would come to you so rashly if I wasn't prepared?"
As soon as Strange finished speaking, a golden magicappeared in the room. The next second, a woman in a mage robe with a hood appeared out of thin air.
When the Dark Mage Archdeacon saw her remove her hood and reveal her face, his expression instantly turned ugly: "Ancient One!!!"
...
"FUXX!"
A palm energy cannon shattered the head of a monster in front of him, but seeing the ever-increasing tide of monsters, Tony Stark controlled his armor to fly into the air, continuously firing missiles from his shoulders.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With a series of explosions, the burning flames engulfed dozens of monsters below.
But looking at the dense monsters filling the surrounding streets, constantly roaring and rushing towards them.
Tony Stark continued to release energy and said, "Lynn, we won't last much longer like this. Damn it, these disgusting things are still pouring out of the red portal!"
Hearing Tony say that, two violent thunder energies emerged from Lynn's palms.
Looking at the red portal from which monsters continuously poured out, Lynn unhesitatingly threw out the thunder energy.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion instantly pulverized hundreds of monsters inside the portal, but after the explosion energy dissipated, the red portal still stood there.
Seeing this, Lynn said, "It seems we can't destroy the portal. Tony, hold on a little longer. Strange has already found that damned Dark Mage."
"As long as Strange kills him, the portal will close, and these monsters will die!"
As his voice fell, seeing Steve get knocked flying by a monster, Lynn instantly teleported to his side.
Releasing the power of thunder to crush all the surrounding monsters, Lynn pulled Steve's arm and dragged him up from the ground: "Can you still hold on?"
In response to Lynn's question, Steve picked up his shield, then pulled out his dagger and said, "What, are you tired?"
Hearing Steve say that, Lynn patted him on the shoulder, then went to support the others.
Just after Lynn had cleared the surrounding monsters for Gwen, his Spider-Sense suddenly began to wildly warn him.
Sensing danger from behind, Lynn didn't turn around. Instead, he directly manipulated the force field to pull up the surrounding road signs, then stabbed them towards the source of danger behind him.
"Crack..."
The road sign pierced the enemy's body behind him. Lynnturned around and found that the one who ambushed him was not a monster, but a Vampire wearing a black cloak!
Looking down at the road sign embedded in his body, the Vampire reached out and pulled it out, then said to Lynn, "I guess My Lord chose New York as the place for darkness to descend because of you!"
"My Lord said that the stronger a person is, the more their blood can help us break through our limits."
"So, I really want to know your..."
Before Count Dras could finish his sentence, Lynn's Heat Vision directly penetrated his head.
Watching Count Dras's head explode like watermelon juice, Lynn said coldly, "With so many monsters, who the hell has time to talk nonsense with you here?"
After cursing, Lynn charged straight towards the group of monsters ahead.
Although the Illuminati's strength was formidable, and they had beings like Lynn, Carol, and Phoenix.
However, more and more monsters were continuously rushing out of the portal, and for a time, the pressure faced by the Illuminati and the Avengers was still very great!
"Hmph!"
Steve forcefully pulled his dagger out of a monster's head, then gasped for breath, immediately throwing his shield to cut off the tongue of a monster that was about to ambush Cyclops.
Before the monster could swing its claws at Scott, Steveleaped up onto its body, repeatedly stabbing his dagger into the monster's head.
"Thud..."
As the monster fell to the ground, Steve pulled out his dagger and looked at Scott, who was covered in blood, asking, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!"
After taking a deep breath, Scott looked at the tide-like monsters around him: "I'm starting to miss fighting the Brotherhood of Mutants now!"
Listening to Scott's panting and somewhat tired appearance, Steve held his shield and said, "I miss fighting the Nazis seventy years ago even more. After all, back then, I was the only monster in the whole World!"
Wiping the blood from his face, Steve gripped his shield and unhesitatingly charged towards the countless monsters in front of him!
The moment he charged at the monsters, a ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness and shone down from the sky.
The moment they touched the sunlight, the monsters, who had been opening their gaping maws wanting to tear Steve apart, immediately howled.
Their massive bodies also smoked under the sunlight, and finally turned into ashes.
Washington D.C., President's Office.
Watching the red portal close in the video, and sunlight penetrating the dark energy to shine down, the dense monsters on the street howled and turned into ashes.
The President sat in his chair, letting out a sigh of relief, then looked at the people in the office and said, "It seems Lynn Hall, leading the Illuminati and the Avengers, has once again won the victory!"
Hearing the President say that, the others in the office also nodded.
After the President finished speaking, the Minister of Defense said, "Since the battle is over, let Ross talk to Lynn. Although the bodies of these monsters turned into ashes in the sunlight."
"But the previous two battles left some bodies behind. Perhaps we can research something else through these bodies!"
Hearing the Minister of Defense say that, the others also nodded.
However, Justice Minister Jeff Russell said, "These bodies are currently in the hands of the Illuminati. If the country wants to obtain these bodies, they must first get their consent."
"Lynn, as the Director of the New York FBI branch, he is our person. Even if he doesn't support us, he will understand our actions, but other Super Heroes might not!"
At this point, Jeff Russell turned to James Duke and said, "Director Duke, do you have any thoughts?"
Seeing everyone's gaze on him, James Duke chuckled and said, "I will have a good talk with Lynn."
"In that case, everyone, please get busy. The aftermath still needs to be handled properly."
Hearing the President say that, everyone nodded, then all left the President's Office.
Watching the Minister of Defense and others walk ahead, James Duke deliberately fell back two paces to talk with Jeff Russell.
"New York FBI Deputy Director Jessica Miles has confirmed her resignation from the FBI to enter politics, so Lynn wants to recommend Alice to replace Jessica as Deputy Director."
Hearing James Duke say that, Jeff Russell nodded: "You want to use this matter to have Lynn come forward and talk to the other members of the Illuminati?"
"If you are confident, Director Duke, I, on behalf of the Department of Justice, support your idea, and anyone recommended by Lynn should be capable!"
Seeing Jeff Russell directly agree on behalf of the Department of Justice, James Duke chuckled and left with him.
New York.
"Whew, we won, we've completely won, right?"
Watching the purple mist dissipate, Tony Stark opened his faceplate and asked Lynn.
"Of course!"
Taking off his portable gas mask, Lynn looked at the devastated Brooklyn streets and said, "But next, I'm afraid City Hall will have a headache!"
As he spoke, Lynn looked at Gwen and the others, and seeing that Gwen and the others were not injured, just a little tired, he felt a little relieved.
But when he saw Jean Grey, standing next to Scott, somewhat dejected but still helping him up from the ground.
Chapter 126 A fighter pilot from 1941?
Lynn suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, Scott, we won. Did you forget something?"
Hearing Lynn suddenly say this, Jean Grey, who had originally looked a little disappointed, immediately brightened up.
But a somewhat tired Scott looked at Lynn blankly: "Forgot? Forgot what? Is there still some enemy we haven't dealt with?"
Seeing Scott like this, Lynn raised his hand and made a gesture of putting on a ring.
Seeing Lynn's reminder, Scott suddenly remembered that his marriage proposal was interrupted by an alarm!
He searched anxiously on his body, but when he realized the ring was in his room at the Illuminati Base, Scott's expression froze.
Noticing Scott's embarrassment, Lynn walked to the vending machine, bought a can of Coke, then pulled the tab and threw it to him: "Catch!"
Catching the tab Lynn threw over, Scott looked at Jean Grey, who was looking at him expectantly, then knelt on one knee: "Jean, will you marry me?"
Looking at her boyfriend, who was finally proposing to her, Jean Grey nodded excitedly.
[Jean Grey Favorability: 8, Gained 10000 Experience Points]
Hearing the system's prompt, Lynn was slightly surprised.
Lynn had expected Jean Grey's favorability to instantly increase to 8 points.
But he didn't expect the experience to be 10,000 points; Tony and the others only got 2,000 experience points when their favorability reached 8 points.
But on second thought, it made sense; after all, Jean Greypossessed the Phoenix Force, and as one of Marvel's three oldest powers, the Phoenix Force was extremely powerful!
Thinking of this, Lynn looked at Wanda.
Seeing Lynn look at her, Wanda first froze for a moment, then gave Lynn a brilliant smile.
Returning Wanda's smile, Lynn decided that he would work on increasing Wanda's favorability next.
After all, if he could possess both the Phoenix Force and Chaos Magic, then...
Seeing Jean Grey accept Scott's proposal, the Illuminatiand Avengers cheered for the couple.
"Hey everyone, we've won this Earth defense battle once again, and Scott has successfully proposed to Jean, so I think we should throw a party to celebrate!"
Hearing Tony's suggestion, the people present also echoed their agreement.
"Of course, no problem, but after so many battles, everyone is a bit tired, so it's best to postpone the party for a few days!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Tony nodded: "Of course, no problem. It also gives Pepper time to come back from Europe."
"But seriously, when I saw those dense swarms of monsters appear, I felt a hint of despair."
"So Lynn, I think we should have a good talk!"
Knowing what Tony meant by these words, Lynn nodded: "Of course, no problem, but let's go back first. The Disaster Control Bureau will be here shortly, and they will take over the scene!"
At this point, Lynn looked at Captain Marvel: "Ms. Danvers, what are your plans?"
"You can call me Carol!"
Facing Lynn's question, Captain Marvel said: "I'm going to meet with Nick, and then continue to deal with some matters in the Universe."
"But if your Illuminati party is willing to invite me, then I can postpone my trip to other Planets for a few days!"
"Of course, you're welcome."
Looking at Carol, Lynn directly extended a party invitation.
[Carol Danvers Favorability: 3]
At the same time, inside the Latvian Royal Palace.
"Humans are really Strange."
Watching the video close, Ultron turned to Victor Von Doom and said: "The Illuminati clearly wanted to save those people in Brooklyn, but some people would rather turn into monsters and be killed than be saved."
"I really want to know why. Perhaps, I should meet with the members of the Illuminati!"
A week later, inside the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation Building.
Looking at Lynn, who was on stage, announcing the incident to the global media.
Tony Stark, sitting below the stage, said to Steve Rogersnext to him: "Ever since Lynn became the Director of the New York FBI, I've often seen him on TV."
"Plus his identity as the leader of the Illuminati, I even feel that he is more sought after by the media than ordinary Hollywood stars!"
Hearing Tony say this, Steve Rogers said: "This is normal, after all, there are no longer any cases that Director Lynnneeds to investigate personally."
"By the way, haven't you always wanted to put a layer of armor on Earth? What did Lynn say?"
Facing Steve Rogers' question, Tony shrugged: "I said I wanted to create a robot with Jarvis as its'soul,' but Lynndisagreed."
"On one hand, the Mind Stone's whereabouts are unknown, taken by Dr. Doom, and on the other hand, Lynn believes that instead of creating a robot, it would be better to have the opportunity to reclaim the Mind Stoneand embed it in my armor."
"I think Lynn's suggestion is very good. Although ordinary armor might not be able to withstand the Mind Stone's energy, I can try the nano-armor!"
"And at the party the night before last, I exchanged contact information with that magician."
At this point, Tony Stark looked at Steve Rogers and said: "Maybe that magician can help!"
"Stephen Strange!"
Correcting Tony's way of addressing him, Steve Rogerswas about to say something else when he saw Lynn walk down from the stage.
"What are you talking about?"
Sitting beside the two, Lynn watched Justice Minister Jeff Russell give his speech, then asked the two.
"We're talking about finding a way to reclaim the Mind Stone from Dr. Doom and installing it in my armor!"
Hearing Tony say this, Lynn nodded: "Currently, we cannot determine Dr. Doom's exact location. I only know that his name is Victor Von Doom, and he is the King of Latvia. I have secretly sent people to Latvia."
"However, that is his territory after all, so my people were discovered as soon as they entered Latvia and then escaped back!"
Listening to Lynn's narration, Tony Stark clapped along with the other reporters and said: "I always feel that Dr. Doom taking the Mind Stone from HYDRA in Sokovia is part of a grand conspiracy!"
"Who knows?"
Saying that, Lynn stood up and said: "I have something to do. You two stay seated, lunch is on me!"
After speaking, Lynn walked to the side.
At the same time, inside the Latvian Royal Palace.
Looking at the people dressed as the Time Variance Authority in front of her, Cassandra kept clucking: "The Time Variance Authority of this Universe has been eliminated by me, I didn't expect you persistent guys to cross Universes to try and capture me!"
Hearing Cassandra's words, a dozen Time Variance Authority soldiers rushed forward with weapons.
"Heh!"
After a light laugh, Cassandra waved her hand gently, and the bodies of the first few soldiers rushing forward seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, directly crashing heavily into the wall.
The other soldiers, seeing this, tried to pull out their special weapons, but saw Cassandra raise her hand, and the next second, these soldiers' bodies floated in the air.
As Cassandra waved her arms up and down, these soldiers' bodies continuously slammed against the wall with thudding sounds.
One of the soldiers took out a time grenade from his equipment, but before he could throw it, his body suddenly became unable to move.
"So besides the judgment weapons that can send people to the Land of Nihility, you also have grenades?"
As her voice fell, Cassandra clenched her single hand, and the next second, the Time Variance Authoritysoldier's skin was torn apart, and his skeleton and flesh instantly scattered across the floor.
Seeing this scene, the other Time Variance Authoritysoldiers were thrown directly out of the Royal Palace by Cassandra before they could even retaliate.
Then she stepped forward to the suit-wearing supervisor and said: "I really want to know, since the Time Variance Authority of this Universe has been destroyed, why did you cross the multiverse to find me!"
Before the supervisor could speak, Cassandra directly made a shushing gesture: "Compared to explanations, I prefer to see the reason!"
As her voice fell, Cassandra's slender fingers directly reached into the supervisor's brain, as the supervisor's face showed an expression of horror.
Cassandra's fingers emerged from his eyes one moment, and from his mouth the next.
After perceiving the memories she wanted, Cassandrapulled out her fingers: "I didn't expect you to come from the Universe I destroyed!"
The Time Variance Authority supervisor sitting on the ground ignored Cassandra's words, instead panting heavily and constantly touching his cheeks with his hands.
The feeling of Cassandra's fingers piercing his brain just now, and then her fingers emerging from his facial features, was too terrifying.
He could even clearly feel the sensation of her fingers grasping his brain and then emerging from his eyes!
"So, our Universe was destroyed, and you, as the Time Variance Authority, became 'unemployed' and thus focused on this Universe?"
Hooking her finger under the Time Variance Authoritysupervisor's chin, Cassandra smiled: "Look at you now, how much like a homeless wretch? How about this, work for me, and I won't kill you. What do you think?"
Before the Time Variance Authority supervisor could speak, an Ultron over three meters tall, with the Mind Stone embedded in its head, appeared before him.
Looking at the tall Ultron in front of him, who was tilting its head and looking at him curiously, the Time Variance Authority supervisor subconsciously swallowed.
"It seems you've made a very wise choice!"
Taking out the time resetter from his pocket, and looking at the red light flashing on the time resetter, Cassandrasaid: "Look, your unauthorized operations have made the space-time of this Universe unstable. It seems Lynn Hallis going to have new trouble!"
After speaking, Cassandra turned and left.
Following behind Cassandra, Ultron walked and asked: "When can I meet with the Illuminati? I'm already a bit impatient!"
"You want to destroy this World?"
"No, no, Cassandra, ever since I was born, I've found Earthto be so beautiful. I love this Planet, but on such a beautiful Planet, humans wantonly destroy it."
"So I really want to know how the Illuminati and Avengers, who are called superheroes, will view this matter."
"Perhaps their answers will tell me how I should protect this beautiful yet barren Planet!"
Hearing Ultron say that, Cassandra stopped.
Seeing that the Director of the Time Variance Authorityhadn't followed, she waved him over.
Once he jogged over, Cassandra said to Ultron, "It's not time for you to appear yet. If you have any ideas, just tell him."
"He has witnessed the destruction of many multiverses, so he should be able to answer your 'naive' questions!"
In early September, inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation Building.
Lynn looked at the document in his hand and handed it directly to Barbara: "Send all these Agents back, and notify the training department Director to retrain them. If the next batch of rookies comes out looking like this, I'll directly remove him!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Barbara picked up the document and said, "Okay, Boss. But actually, it's not the training department Director's fault. After all, before the former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director retired, he personally formulated this training plan with the Department of Justice, so…"
"Department of Justice?"
After a cold laugh, Lynn put his pen on the desk and said, "A bunch of bitches who haven't even touched a gun, can their training content even count?"
"I don't care about other places, but here in New York, the training department must follow the training plan I formulated!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Lynn's order, Barbara nodded, then walked out.
After Barbara left, Lynn looked at Wanda, who was bringing him coffee, and smiled, "You've been with me for so long, have you decided which department you want to go to?"
Facing Lynn's question, Wanda smiled, "I quite like my current job."
"Meaning, you want to be my secretary like Barbara?"
Hearing Wanda's answer, Lynn smiled, "That's good too. Barbara is responsible for helping me handle matters within the New York FBI, and you are now also a member of the Illuminati, so it's more convenient for you to go out with me when something happens!"
As he was speaking, the phone on Lynn's desk rang.
Picking up the receiver, he heard Jessica's voice from the other end: "Lynn, are you free tonight? I'm planning a celebration just for the two of us!"
Listening to Jessica's barely concealed excitement, Lynnsmiled, "Congratulations on becoming a New YorkSenator, Jessica!"
"Hehe, I have to thank you for this. I never thought that besides the power of my husband Louis's family, even the Mayor of New York, Chris Bell, would stand out to support me at the crucial moment."
"Lynn, what deal did you make with Mayor Chris Bell to get him to stand out and support me?"
Facing Jessica's question, Lynn said, "You don't need to know that. Since you are now a Senator, how you proceed from here is up to you!"
"If you need anything, just tell me. I look forward to the day you become President!"
Regarding Lynn's words, Jessica Miles smiled brightly: "Don't worry, I already have a plan!"
"But you still haven't answered me, are you free tonight? I can call my husband, you know."
"Hmm?"
Listening to Jessica's seductive tone, Lynn chuckled lightly. Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly heard the air raid siren outside.
"Forget about celebrations, I have something to do, I'm hanging up!"
With that, Lynn hung up the phone without hesitation.
Standing up and looking outside, listening to the piercing air raid siren, Lynn frowned and said, "Wanda, have the intelligence team within five minutes…"
Before Lynn could finish, Alice knocked on the office door.
"Boss, a fighter jet suddenly appeared over New York. This fighter jet used some unknown means to evade radar surveillance and was only detected when it was circling over New York!"
"The target of this fighter jet is unknown. The Militaryimmediately dispatched four fighter jets to surround it, but…"
"But what?"
Lynn asked, looking at Alice's somewhat Strangeexpression.
"Boss, this fighter jet is very Strange. From its appearance, it's clearly an old-fashioned fighter, and according to the images sent back by the satellite, it's clearly a P-40B."
"P-40B?"
Hearing Alice say that, Lynn frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, the P-40B model of fighter jet was discontinued in 1944, right!"
"That's right, Boss."
Nodding, Alice continued, "And if it really is a P-40B model fighter jet, how could it have the ability to evade radar detection? Yet it just appeared out of thin air over New York, and the satellite images indeed show this model!"
Looking at Alice's equally puzzled expression, Lynnthought for a few seconds, then said, "Contact General Ross. Since the Military has already dispatched four fighter jets to surround it, these matters will soon become clear!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Lynn's order, Alice immediately turned and left the office.
"Isn't Alice a Deputy Director now?"
Hearing the air raid siren disappear, Wanda curiously asked Lynn, "A Deputy Director like her shouldn't have to go out on field missions, right!"
Looking at Wanda's puzzled expression, Lynn smiled, "That's right, normally a Director rarely goes out on field missions, but Alice and Sean, those two guys, just can't sit still."
"As people who came from field work and have been with me for so many years, they've experienced a lot with me, so their personalities are a bit like mine. If you make them sit in the office all day, it would be Strange if they could sit still!"
Glancing at the time, Lynn closed the document in his hand and said, "It's noon, come have lunch with me, my treat!"
"Okay!"
Facing Lynn's invitation, Wanda nodded happily.
At the same time, the Military.
Watching the old P-40B land on the runway, the prepared Military soldiers immediately stepped forward and surrounded it.
The commanding Colonel had the soldiers stand guard, then walked forward, looked at the opened cockpit, and said to the somewhat bewildered fighter pilot looking around, "Who are you? What is your purpose for flying a fighter jet to New York?"
"New York?"
Hearing the Colonel's question, the fighter pilot exclaimed, "How is this possible? I clearly took off from Hawaii."
"And why am I here? Also, you said this is New York? That's impossible! I am a New Yorker, but I didn't recognize any of the buildings when I just flew over the city!"
Looking at the fighter pilot who seemed to be talking nonsense, the Colonel directly ordered him to get down!
Once he got down, the Colonel immediately had him escorted to the interrogation room!
Half an hour later.
"Are you high on drugs?"
Listening to the Colonel reporting to him, General Rossfrowned, "How can you believe such a shitty conclusion?"
"A fighter pilot from December 7, 1941, would he really fly a fighter jet and appear in New York more than seventy years later? Do you think everyone is like Steve Rogers?"
Looking at General Ross, who was pointing at his nose and cursing him, the Colonel stood at attention, but his expression was somewhat helpless: "General, that fighter pilot really said that."
"And, I've already had people confirm that the fighter jet he was flying is indeed a P-40B model. I even found his name in the Military's sealed archives."
Outside the Illuminati Base.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the originally clear sky, a crack suddenly appeared, with colorful, galaxy-like brilliant light emanating from within.
Tony Stark frowned and said, "Damn it, it's not another Dark Descent or something, is it!"
Seeing Tony's worried eyes, Lynn, who had just finished lunch and rushed over after receiving the news, looked up at the crack in the sky: "Friday, check if this crack is emitting any kind of energy?"
"Sir, according to the detection, this suddenly appearing crack in the sky is not releasing any energy, nor has any radiation been detected. However, this crack is currently slowly expanding at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye."
Hearing Friday's answer, the expressions of everyone, who had initially breathed a sigh of relief, became solemn once again.
"Friday, if this crack continues to expand, what will be the result?"
"It's not clear yet, Captain Rogers."
Hearing Friday say that, Steve turned to Lynn and said, "It seems we must investigate this crack as soon as possible, otherwise no one can be sure whether this suddenly appearing crack will bring unimaginable disaster to Earth!"
Before Lynn could speak, Peter Parker on the side curiously asked, "Captain, how do we investigate this? It just appeared out of thin air, without even a hint of a sign."
"How about we contact Stephen Strange?"
Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Tony Starksuggested, "Perhaps Strange knows how this crack was formed!"
"Isn't Strange dealing with the Hulk?"
Facing Tony's suggestion, Natasha, who was at the Illuminati for a free meal, said, "The Hulk was taken away by Strange after he accidentally drank blue bat blood, and it hasn't been dealt with until now!"
"I wonder how Bruce is doing now!"
"Air raid siren!"
Seeing that everyone was at a loss for a moment, Lynn, who had been thinking, suddenly said, "Before Wandaand I went to lunch, I heard the sound of an air raid siren."
"Later, Alice reported to me that an old-fashioned fighter jet had appeared out of thin air over New York."
"I'm wondering if this crack is related to that suddenly appearing fighter jet!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Steve immediately asked, "Lynn, where is that fighter jet right now?"
Chapter 127 Lin En and Ultron's First Meeting
"Military Base!"
Lynn said, looking at everyone.
Ten minutes later, inside the Military Base!
"This matter is just too unbelievable!"
General Ross explained to Lynn, Steve, and Tony, "After we apprehended the fighter pilot, he consistently maintained that he took off from Hawaii on December 7, 1941."
"December 7, 1941? The day Japan attacked Pearl Harbor?"
Hearing General Ross state the date, Steve immediately spoke.
"Exactly!"
General Ross nodded and continued, "He said that after hearing about the attack on Pearl Harbor, he was ordered to pilot his fighter plane to engage the Japanese planes."
"As soon as his plane took off, a colorful, thick mist suddenly appeared in front of him. After the mist dissipated, he inexplicably found himself over New York!"
Hearing General Ross speak, the three of them exchanged glances: "Sure enough, this matter is related to the crack above the Illuminati Base!"
"And this!"
Handing a document to the three, General Ross said, "This is the information the Military found on this fighter pilot!"
Lynn took the document from General Ross and opened it, glancing at the contents.
"Laurent Lowell, born in 1919, Air Force Captain. On December 7, 1941, he piloted a fighter plane in a desperate struggle against the enemy attacking Pearl Harbor. His plane was shot down by the enemy before he could parachute, and he ultimately crashed and died with his plane!"
In addition to this information, there was also a photo of Laurent Lowell.
Pointing to Laurent in the photo, General Ross said, "The fighter pilot who claims to be Laurent Lowell looks exactly like the Laurent in the photo."
"So I believe it's very likely he genuinely traveled here from the past!"
Hearing General Ross say this, Lynn closed the file and said, "Take us to see Captain Laurent Lowell!"
"Of course, no problem!"
With that, General Ross led the three to the lounge.
As soon as the lounge door opened, Laurent Lowell, who had been sitting on the bed, immediately stood up: "Officer, have you figured out why I suddenly appeared here?"
Looking at the anxious pilot, General Ross said, "Captain Laurent, please don't be anxious for now. These three are the Super Heroes of this era. I think they should be able to help you!"
Hearing General Ross say this, Laurent Lowellimmediately said to the three, "Gentlemen, I need to go back immediately. Those bastards attacked Pearl Harbor, and I need to go back and fight alongside my comrades!"
Seeing Laurent's agitated expression, Lynn glanced at Steve.
Receiving Lynn's gaze, Steve stepped forward and comforted him, "Don't be agitated, Laurent, we believe what you've told us."
"However, this matter is too unbelievable, so we're not yet sure if there's any other way to send you back!"
At this point, Steve motioned for him to sit down, then sat down himself and said, "In fact, if it were possible, I would also very much like to return to that era."
"Laurent, you are from over seventy years ago, and so am I!"
Hearing Steve say this, Laurent Lowell looked at him with some confusion: "You mean, you are also from over seventy years ago?"
Well, Laurent Lowell didn't know who Steve Rogers was, nor had he ever heard of Captain America!
"Exactly!"
Looking at the anxious Laurent Lowell, Steve briefly recounted his own experience to him.
Listening to Steve's narration, Laurent Lowell's eyes widened.
If it weren't for him looking at General Ross, who nodded, indicating that Steve was telling the truth.
Then Laurent Lowell would absolutely not believe that such an absurd thing could exist in this World!
Once Laurent's emotions had completely stabilized, Stevesmiled and asked, "Captain Lowell, can you tell me exactly what happened that day? For example, anything unusual?"
Facing Steve's inquiry, Laurent Lowell thought for a few seconds and said, "At first, everything was normal. When we heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Officerordered us to immediately pilot our fighter planes to provide support."
"Everything was normal when I first boarded the plane, until the plane took off... No!"
At this point, Laurent Lowell's eyes widened as he said, "I remember now, from the moment I was about to board the fighter plane, something felt wrong around me!"
"I had just sat in the fighter plane when I heard muffled thunder all around, and then I asked my comrades over the radio, but they all said they didn't hear anything."
"At the time, I thought I had misheard, and given the urgency of the situation, I directly started the fighter plane. As soon as the fighter plane took off, that colorful, thick mist appeared around me."
"After the thick mist surrounded my plane, the radar on the plane malfunctioned. When I flew the plane out of the mist, I inexplicably ended up here."
At this point, Laurent Lowell looked at the three of them seriously and said, "Can I still go back now? My comrades are still fighting, I can't abandon them!"
Hearing Laurent Lowell's words, the three exchanged glances, then Lynn said, "Currently, we don't have a way to send you back to the past, but don't worry for now, we will find a way!"
No sooner had Lynn finished speaking than Laurent Lowell immediately said, "Oh, right, since this is over seventy years later, then you must know the outcome of that battle, right?"
"Did we win that battle?"
Facing Laurent's question, none of the three spoke.
"So we lost?"
"It's not that we lost. That attack severely damaged the Pacific Fleet, resulting in over two thousand deaths and over one thousand injured. Also, due to the suddenness of the incident, only a few were able to pilot fighter planes, and there were many casualties!"
With that, Tony Stark handed the document in his hand to Laurent.
Taking the document from Tony Stark, Laurent Lowell's emotions were highly agitated after reading it, even his breathing became rapid.
A moment later, Laurent put down the document and said, "I... I also died in that battle?"
"The Military records state that you did indeed die in that battle!"
After speaking, Lynn turned to Tony: "The crack that appeared above the Illuminati Base, I suspect it's very likely the space-time rift that caused him to come here."
"So the best way is to take him there to see, perhaps that space-time rift can send him back!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Tony nodded: "At present, this is the only way. After all, we can't just build a time-traveling device like in 'Back to the Future,' can we!"
"Tony, Laurent Lowell is a bit agitated. You and Steveshould comfort him. I'll go find General Ross and have him send that fighter plane to the Illuminati Base as well."
With that, Lynn turned and left.
Half an hour later, inside the Illuminati Base.
Looking outside the Illuminati Base, a large number of New York media reporters were constantly photographing the space-time rift in the sky, and many reporters wanted to interview the Illuminati members.
General Ross, who had brought the fighter plane, said to Lynn, "It seems your Illuminati should change Bases!"
"That won't be necessary!"
With that, Lynn got out of the car and walked towards the reporters.
Upon seeing Lynn approach, the reporters scrambled to surround him, holding microphones and eager to interview him.
"Mr. Hall, what is this colorful glowing thing in the sky? Is it a prelude to an alien invasion?"
"Lynn, are the Illuminati and the Avengers prepared to fight aliens again?"
"Director Hall, will this crack release a virus and turn humans into monsters?"
"..."
Listening to the chattering voices of the reporters, Lynnraised his hand to stop them from asking further questions.
Once all the reporters quieted down, Lynn then said, "As of now, we are still investigating the specific reason for the formation of this crack, but according to our Detection, this crack poses no immediate harm to humans, so everyone can rest assured!"
"Once we clarify the specific reason, we will give the public a satisfactory answer, but before then, I hope all media friends will not interfere with the normal operations of the Illuminati."
"Alright, everyone, please leave. We still need to continue investigating this crack."
Hearing Lynn say this, although the reporters still had a lot of questions, out of respect for Lynn's identity, they could only leave.
After all, before coming, both their editors and bosses had repeatedly warned them not to provoke Lynn Hall.
Who knew he was not only the leader of the Illuminatibut also the Director of the New York FBI!
After watching the reporters leave, General Ross got out of the car and said, "It seems you not only have high prestige among the public, but even the media are willing to give you face."
"Perhaps we should have a good chat sometime!"
Listening to General Ross, whose words clearly had an underlying meaning, even seeming to be asking for a favor, Lynn smiled and said, "No problem, who made me always like to be kind to people?"
Because there were Military personnel present, Peterspecifically put on his Spider-Man mask when he came out of the Base.
"Thank goodness, Lynn, you're finally back. Luckily these reporters still listen to you. You don't know how much trouble they are; Professor X and I both gave them interviews, but they still wouldn't leave."
"If Professor X hadn't disagreed, I would have wanted Professor to control their brains and make them leave!"
Listening to Peter's complaints, Lynn smiled and patted his shoulder, then turned to Steve and said, "Steve, let Captain Laurent Lowell come out!"
As Lynn's words fell, Steve walked to the car and led out a somewhat bewildered Laurent Lowell.
At the same time, the Military also unloaded the old fighter jet.
"Lynn, what exactly is the situation? Is this the old fighter jet you mentioned?"
After the other Illuminati members came out, they looked at the fighter jet and asked curiously.
After briefly explaining what happened, Lynn had Laurent Lowell get into the fighter jet!
Hearing Lynn's command, Laurent entered the fighter jet under everyone's gaze.
However, the expected spatial rift did not suck him away; everything around remained calm.
"How about we let him start the fighter jet and fly towards the spatial rift to test it?"
Seeing that nothing was happening around them, Tony Stark suggested.
"Tony, that's not a funny joke!"
Before Lynn could speak, Steve on the side said, "What if there's danger?"
"Until we can confirm whether the spatial rift is dangerous, it's best to be cautious about such things!"
Hearing Steve say that, Tony shrugged and then looked at Lynn, saying, "Do you have any other ideas?"
"Actually, I think we can try what Tony suggested!"
Looking at Steve, Lynn said, "After Laurent and this fighter jet appeared here, the spatial rift showed no reaction, so why not let him pilot the fighter jet around the edge of the spatial rift?"
"Even if he encounters danger, I can rescue him immediately!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Steve thought for a few seconds, "If you're confident, then perhaps we can give it a try!"
Seeing Steve agree, Lynn informed Laurent Lowell.
Following Lynn's instructions, Laurent piloted the fighter jet, successfully taking off after taxiing on the street, and then continuously flew around the edge of the spatial rift.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times Laurent tried, the spatial rift did not "suck" him back into the past; instead, the rift vibrated visibly and then expanded by a factor of two!
Seeing this, Lynn had Laurent Lowell control the fighter jet to land.
"Alright, it seems my idea was wrong!"
After the fighter jet stopped, Tony Stark shrugged and said, "What now?"
Facing Tony's question, everyone shook their heads.
"Um..."
Seeing everyone in silence, Laurent Lowell got out of the fighter jet and said, "If there's no way to send me back more than seventy years ago for now, can I make a request?"
Hearing Laurent Lowell's request, Steve stepped forward and said, "Of course, no problem. Is there anything we can help you with?"
"It's just... I want to know if my wife is still alive, I want to see her."
In the evening, at a restaurant in New York City.
Chris Bell, who was having dinner with Lynn and discussing their next tasks, suddenly froze. He then slowly put down his cutlery, his eyes blank, and began to walk out of the restaurant.
Seeing this, Lynn frowned.
Clearly, Chris Bell was being mind-controlled.
As the Mayor of New York City and also a HYDRAmember who had pledged allegiance to Lynn, he was originally there to report to Lynn that those HYDRAmembers within the United States wanted to join them.
But halfway through his words, Chris Bell suddenly put down his cutlery, his expression blank, and got up to leave.
Seeing this, Lynn's gaze immediately locked onto a three-meter-tall, steel robot that brushed past Chris Bell.
Seeing this robot, Lynn instantly knew its identity.
Ultron!
Although Ultron was currently over three meters tall, made entirely of steel, and had the Mind Stoneembedded in his head.
Yet, the people around him seemed to ignore him, which must be the Mind Stone's doing!
Seeing Ultron approach, Lynn said, "So, Victor Von Doomstole the Mind Stone just to create you?"
Hearing Lynn's words, Ultron spread his hands and smiled, "Doom did indeed steal the Mind Stone from HYDRA for me, but I wasn't created by him. To be precise, Cassandra had Doom do it!"
"By the way, may I sit across from you, Mr. Hall? I am very curious about the Illuminati, about you, and even about this World!"
Watching Ultron's red mechanical eyes staring at him, Lynn gestured for him to sit down, "So, are you here to oppose me, or is your brain filled with questions that need someone to answer them?"
"Thank you!"
He pulled out a chair and was about to sit down, but then seemed to remember something, and the Mind Stone on his head flashed.
The next second, Ultron's three-meter-tall body gradually became ethereal, and then he pulled out the chair and sat down.
"I apologize, although this might be a bit rude, my Vibranium body is too heavy, and the chairs you humans make don't seem to be for me!"
Before Lynn could speak, Ultron continued, "Actually, before coming to see you, I met two members of the Avengers, Ms. Natasha Romanoff and Mr. Clint Barton."
"Although they were very wary of me, and even attacked me without hesitation after seeing the Mind Stone on my head."
"But I still got some answers I wanted from them!"
Hearing Ultron say that, Lynn picked up his wine glass and looked at him, "Are they doing well now?"
"Of course, although their sneak attack was very rude, I did not blame them. I even thoughtfully used the Mind Stone's energy to erase their memories of me!"
Looking at Lynn, Ultron also picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "I know you humans like to drink while discussing things. Do you want me to have a drink with you? Although I don't know the meaning of doing so."
"Can robots drink alcohol?"
Taking a sip of the wine in his glass, Lynn said, "Stop talking nonsense, what is your purpose?"
"I want to know, what is the meaning of human existence!"
Looking at Lynn, Ultron pointed to the Mind Stone on his head, "Its existence has given me many ideas. Sometimes, some inexplicable thoughts make me feel very... troubled?"
"To resolve these troubles, I read many philosophers' books and even searched for ordinary people's worries on the internet."
"I have to say, the internet truly is one of your human's greatest inventions, because I found many answers on the internet!"
At this point, Ultron looked at Lynn and said, "Although Cassandra always calls me an idiot, I haven't been born for long. In terms of your human age, I am just an infant."
"So I really want to know if the answers given by Super Heroes like you will solve some of my problems!"
Hearing Ultron ramble on with a lot of nonsense, Lynnsuddenly had an idea.
Although Ultron was created by Cassandra and Victor Von Doom.
It was clear, however, that this Mind Stone Ultron was not the Ultron from the movies who wanted to destroy humanity and create new robot humans.
Plus, the Mind Stone had made him much more human-like.
Given that, why couldn't he be bolder?
Thinking of this, Lynn smiled and said, "So, your trouble is not knowing the meaning of human existence?"
"Yes, although this is only one of my troubles, I don't want to follow the tasks 'planned' for me by Cassandra!"
"I am a robot, yes, but I also have my own thoughts, my own understanding of life, and of Earth."
"I am not the kind of Super Villain who wants to eliminate humanity and destroy Earth for selfish reasons."
"I truly love this Planet!"
After two hours of casual conversation, Lynn felt that Ultron was sometimes like a newborn infant, full of curiosity about the World.
At other times, he was like a sensitive philosopher, always having unique insights into survival and death.
He had even considered the past conflicts between humans and Mutants, and how to handle these issues after the Mutants established their own nation.
Through these two hours of casual conversation, Lynn's understanding of Ultron deepened.
Compared to destruction, this Mind Stone Ultronpreferred new beginnings.
Lynn answered all of Ultron's questions according to his own understanding, and although many of the answers contained subtle traps in their details.
This also made Ultron very happy.
Of course, it would be better if Ultron didn't ask some strange questions.
For example, why do humans always feel the process of reproduction is very pleasant, and so on...
"Actually, I think you already know many of the answers; it's just that the complex information online temporarily prevents you from distinguishing them."
"So Ultron, I think you should have a good talk with Professor X, after all, he is a respectable elder!"
Hmm, praise Professor X in front of Ultron, and then make him look forward to Professor X.
Lynn believed that with his and Professor X's cooperation, there would be no problem in getting Ultron to join them!
After all, during Ultron's rambling, Lynn could clearly feel that Ultron didn't have much sense of identity with Cassandra!
"Professor X?"
Hearing Lynn mention Professor X, Ultron said, "I know him. He is indeed a respectable elder, and full of wisdom."
"I look forward to having a very peaceful conversation with him, just like us. After all, my last conversation with Ms. Natasha and Mr. Clint was very unpleasant."
Hearing Ultron say that, Lynn smiled and said, "If you wish, then I can help."
"Really? Mr. Hall, how should I repay you? Let me think..."
Chapter 128 The Space-Time Rift Disappears
Before Lynn could speak, Ultron thought for a few seconds, then directly said, "You must be struggling with the space-time rift above the Illuminati Base."
"Actually, that rift was caused by the Time Variance Authority!"
"Time Variance Authority?"
Hearing Ultron say that, Lynn said, "I heard Mond say that the Time Variance Authority was destroyed by Cassandra. Did they rebuild it?"
"No, not the Time Variance Authority of this Universe, but the Time Variance Authority from Cassandra's Universe, the one that was already destroyed."
"After the destruction of that Universe, they set their sights on the 'Time Criminals' who escaped from it, and Cassandra is their target!"
At this point, Ultron raised his hand, and a holographic projection appeared in front of Lynn.
The holographic projection showed the Time Variance Authority appearing, trying to apprehend Cassandra, but they were all eliminated by Cassandra, leaving only a video of a supervisor.
"Their appearance caused a new time branch, coupled with the destruction of this Universe's original Time Variance Authority by Cassandra, which is why this situation occurred!"
"If the space-time rift cannot be eliminated in time, people from the past and future will continue to appear, and people from the past have even already appeared on this timeline!"
Hearing Ultron say this, Lynn frowned and asked, "Then do you know how to eliminate the space-time rift?"
"Of course, although I don't know the specific principle of the time machine, as long as the first two people who entered this timeline are sent into the space-time rift, then this space-time rift will be eliminated."
"As for the others who came to this Universe, a time machine will be needed!"
"Two?"
Hearing Ultron say that there were two people who entered the current timeline from the past, Lynn asked, "We only found Laurent Lowell, where is the other one?"
"Hawaii, Oahu!"
Ultron did not hide anything from Lynn: "Laurent Lowellwas lucky enough to be teleported to New York, while the other person was teleported to Oahu, Hawaii, which is where the Pearl Harbor incident occurred!"
"By the way, you only have half a month. According to the estimation of that time supervisor, at most half a month, the space-time rift will expand to its extreme, and then engulf this timeline."
"At that time, everyone on Earth will be killed by time energy!"
Hearing Ultron say this, Lynn took out his phone and sent a message.
At the same time, Oahu, Hawaii.
"FUXX, how the hell is this possible?"
Looking at the data in his hand, Garfield Thompson's hands trembled slightly: "I died, and almost our entire squad was wiped out? How the hell is this possible?"
Patting his cheeks to force himself to calm down, Garfield Thompson took a deep breath, then looked carefully.
The more he read the data, the harder it was for Garfield to accept; he couldn't believe any of it was real!
He sat on the ground somewhat dejectedly, looking at the exhibition Hall not far away that had long since turned off its lights, and his eyes were filled with melancholy.
All these materials were stolen from the exhibition memorial Hall, so they should be real.
But... he was actually killed by a Japanese bomber?
After a long while, Garfield Thompson slowly stood up from the ground.
Looking at the surroundings, which were both familiar and Strange, Garfield clutched the data in his hand and murmured, "This must be God giving me a chance to be reborn. Yes, this must be God giving me a second life!"
"Thank God for saving me, to hell with the bombers, to hell with Pearl Harbor, I'm going to live again!"
Once a thought became clear, Garfield immediately threw away the data in his hand and walked forward.
When he saw a man dressed lightly on the street, he touched the pistol in his holster, then quietly followed him.
A few hours later, Hawaii Airport.
The Hawaii Police, who had been waiting at the airport, immediately went forward to Natasha as she stepped off the Kun-style Fighter Jet and said, "Hello, Ms. Natasha Romanoff, I am Sergeant Wilson. The target Mr. Lynn Hall asked us to search for has been caught. He is currently being held at the Police station!"
Hearing Sergeant Wilson say this, Natasha nodded: "Thank you for your help, Sergeant Wilson, you work quite efficiently."
Sergeant Wilson's expression was a bit Strangeregarding Natasha's praise: "Mainly, Mr. Hall contacted the local FBI, and by the time the FBI informed us, Garfield had already been caught by us."
"The reason is, he robbed a Police Officer who was off duty..."
Inside the Police station.
Looking at Natasha in front of him, Garfield Thompsonroared, "FUXX, don't you dare try to make me go back to die! This is God giving me a second life, I will never return to the past!"
Seeing Garfield's agitated state, Natasha turned her head and looked at the Sergeant beside her, saying, "Sergeant Wilson, hand him over to me!"
"No problem!"
While having someone drag Garfield out of the interrogation room, Sergeant Wilson took out a document and asked Natasha to sign it: "Don't mind, this is normal procedure. Since this became the fiftieth state of the United States in 1959, many regulations are even stricter than in other states!"
"Understood!"
Smiling at Sergeant Wilson, Natasha signed her name on the document.
"Don't you dare drag me, I will never go back to the past! Even if I have to spend my whole life in prison here, I don't want to go back to die!"
Looking at the agitated and constantly resisting Garfield, Natasha stepped forward and punched him hard in the stomach.
The intense pain made Garfield bend over like a shrimp, and with the help of two Police Officers, he was forcibly shoved into the car outside the Police station.
"Thank you for your help, Sergeant Wilson. As for the fighter jet he was piloting..."
"That old fighter jet has been found by the FBI, and they will transport it back to New York!"
"Thank you!"
Extending her hand and shaking Sergeant Wilson's hand, Natasha got into the car, then, accompanied by two PoliceOfficers, headed to the Kun-style Fighter Jet at the airport.
Seeing Natasha leave, the Police Officer beside Sergeant Wilson said, "Sergeant, what exactly is going on with this Garfield Thompson? Ever since he was arrested, he's been claiming he's from..."
"Shut up!"
Before the Police Officer could finish speaking, Sergeant Wilson directly said, "The Avengers have been dispatched, which proves that this matter is no longer something we can participate in."
"If you don't want to get into trouble, just pretend none of this happened!"
"Alright, I was just a little curious!"
Shrugging his shoulders, the Police Officer followed Wilson into the Police station.
The next morning, inside the Illuminati Base!
"Thank you for your help!"
Shaking hands with the Hawaii FBI Agent who brought the old fighter jet, Lynn said.
"Officer, we're all on the same side, so this is what we should do."
After the two Agents left, Lynn turned his head and glanced at Laurent, who was standing there dispiritedly, then said to Steve, "What's wrong with him? Didn't he rest well last night?"
In response to Lynn's question, Steve shook his head: "I accompanied him back to his girlfriend's house yesterday, and then found out that his girlfriend had married someone else after his death."
"Laurent didn't blame her, but it's a pity that she has Alzheimer's disease and no longer remembers him!"
As the two were speaking, they heard Garfield Thompsonangrily say, "Damn it, what exactly do you want to do? I won't—Oh God, Laurent?"
"Garfield?"
Upon seeing his comrade, Laurent, who had been somewhat dejected, immediately became emotional, then ran to Garfield's side: "You came here too? I thought I was the only one sent over seventy years later by that mist, I didn't expect you to..."
Before Laurent could finish speaking, Garfield, after a few seconds of surprise, immediately said, "Listen to me, Laurent, we can't go back to the past. I've seen the data, we both died in the battle of Pearl Harbor."
Listening to Garfield's emotional words, Laurent, who had been somewhat excited, fell silent for a few seconds, then seriously said, "I know, but this is our duty, isn't it, Garfield? If we are destined to die in that battle, then..."
"To hell with duty, Laurent, wake up! This is God giving us a second chance to live, why should we go back to die?"
Facing Garfield, whose eyes were red, Laurent said with a firm tone, "Because we are soldiers, and our responsibility is to defend our country."
"To hell with soldiers, and defending the country is bullshit! Who the hell likes this crappy country? If it weren't for the salary, who would be willing to go to war?"
Listening to their conversation, Lynn said to Steve, "Steve, go call Tony. I don't know what he's talking about with Ultron, but I'm worried Tony will lead Ultron astray."
"If a Vibranium robot with the Mind Stone becomes our enemy, it will probably be very troublesome!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Steve thought about Tony's "bad" personality, then nodded and walked into the Base.
After sending Steve away, Lynn went directly in front of the roaring Garfield, then grabbed his head and made him look at him.
"Damn it, what do you want to do again? I will never go back..."
Before the somewhat frightened Garfield could finish speaking, Lynn directly activated his mental control to invade his brain.
Garfield, who had been terrified, gradually calmed down, and his eyes gradually filled with peace.
"This is why you sent Steve away?"
Looking at Lynn's actions, Natasha, who was beside him, asked with a smile.
"The space-time rift is still slowly expanding, who has time to slowly work on his ideological education here? And we are only sending him back to his original space-time, that's all."
Hearing Lynn say this, Natasha nodded.
If Steve were here, he definitely wouldn't agree to Lynndoing this.
Seeing Garfield being controlled, Laurent, who was beside him, said to Lynn, "Mr. Hall, can we return to our original space-time now?"
"That's right!"
Watching the other Illuminati members walk out of the Base, Lynn nodded and said, "You can 'go home' now!"
A moment later.
After two old-style fighter jets took off, under the gaze of the Illuminati members, the fighter jets flew directly towards the space-time rift in the sky.
As the two fighter jets headed straight for the space-time rift, the next moment, the clear sky suddenly erupted with colorful thick fog that enveloped the two fighter jets.
Seeing this scene, Ultron said to everyone, "They have now returned to their own timeline."
As the thick fog gradually dispersed, the two old-style fighter jets also disappeared from everyone's sight, and the space-time rift in the sky gradually vanished.
"Finally solved!"
Watching the space-time rift disappear, Steve turned his head and looked at Natasha, asking curiously, "Didn't Garfield not want to go back to the past? How did you convince him in just a few minutes?"
"When he was piloting the fighter jet just now, he didn't look unwilling at all."
Facing Steve's question, Natasha smiled and said nothing.
Tony Stark, who was standing nearby, came to Lynn's side and said, "I can't take it anymore, my God, how do you expect me to explain to a robot why the human reproduction process is full of pleasure?"
Inside the Illuminati Base.
Watching Ultron push Professor X's wheelchair, the two went to the lounge, chatting and laughing, Tony Starkasked Lynn, "I know now why Ultron left Cassandra."
"I even suspect that Cassandra couldn't stand all his Strange questions every day, which is why she sent him to us!"
Handing Lynn a cup of coffee, Tony spread his hands and said, "He asked me a lot of questions about humans. I asked him what was the point of knowing the answers to these questions."
"He actually said that because he likes Earth very much, the answers to these questions determine whether he stands on the side of humanity or completely eliminates humanity to better protect Earth!"
Hearing Tony say that, Lynn was drinking coffee and hadn't spoken yet, when Steve walked over and said, "It seems Ultron is still quite honest. Now it depends on how Professor X answers his questions."
Saying that, Steve looked at Lynn and said, "Is this why you brought Ultron back?"
"That's right!"
Facing Steve's question, Lynn explained his thoughts to the two of them: "I believe in Professor X's ability."
As the three were talking, a golden magic portal suddenly appeared in the Hall.
Seeing the portal appear, the three put down their coffee and walked over.
"Good morning!"
Walking out of the magic portal, Stephen Strangegreeted them, followed by Bruce Banner.
"Is Dr. Banner's matter resolved?"
Seeing Strange send Bruce Banner back, Lynn stepped forward and asked.
"It's resolved, although it was a bit tricky, fortunately, my teacher helped out and dealt with the matter of Hulkbeing 'infected' by accidentally drinking Vampire blood!"
"Welcome back, Bruce!"
Seeing Bruce Banner, Tony Stark exaggeratedly smiled and walked forward, "Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight since I last saw you. It couldn't be that the food at the sorcerer's place wasn't to your liking, could it!"
Watching Tony's exaggerated welcoming ceremony, Dr. Banner awkwardly smiled, "Hulk has been out all this time. Although I can observe everything, but..."
Recalling everything that had happened since he was taken away by Strange, Dr. Banner sighed.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Dr. Banner's appearance, Lynn looked at Strangeand asked.
"Perhaps, the simple-minded Hulk is very much liked by my teacher."
For a moment, Strange didn't know how to explain to Lynn, so he simply turned around and said, "Dr. Banner, let Hulk come out himself!"
Hearing Strange say that, Bruce Banner nodded, then let Hulk come out.
"Hehehe..."
As soon as Hulk came out, he chuckled foolishly at the three of them, then, as if presenting a treasure, said to them, "Friend...Fire, Hulk can use Fire!"
As his voice fell, Hulk snapped his fingers, and the next second, his entire body burst into raging flames!
"My God!"
Seeing this scene, Tony instinctively exclaimed, then looked at Strange in disbelief, "What exactly is going on? This is even more terrifying than the appearance of the space-time rift!"
Seeing Lynn and Steve, who were also somewhat surprised, Strange shrugged and said, "My teacher likes Hulk very much, so he taught him this move, and said that although Hulk only knows this one move, it's enough to cope with the disasters that will happen to him in the future."
"Hiss... I still find it hard to accept!"
Looking at Hulk, whose entire body was on fire, but whose shorts were not burned, Tony Stark clicked his tongue and walked a circle around the grinning, foolishly smiling Hulk.
Then he asked Strange, "Your teacher wouldn't have cast magic on these shorts too, would he!"
Looking at Tony, Strange nodded once again.
"My God, what's going on?"
Seeing Hulk on fire, Peter Parker, who had just swung back to the Base with his webs, was startled.
"Hulk, hold on a little longer, I'll go get a fire extinguisher!"
Watching Peter Parker hurriedly run towards the fire extinguisher, Lynn and Steve exchanged glances, then shook their heads in unison.
After lunch, on the sofa in the Illuminati Base.
"The simple-minded Hulk can play with Fire now, and a three-meter-tall Vibranium robot constantly asks about human reproduction and meaning. Lynn, I think even if something more bizarre happens in the future, I won't be surprised!"
"By the way, when are you going to invite that chain-wielding burning skeleton friend over? I think he and Hulkand Ultron will definitely have endless topics to talk about!"
Hearing Tony's teasing, Lynn hadn't spoken yet, when Scott, who was nearby, said, "A chain-wielding burning skeleton? Are you talking about Ghost Rider?"
"I heard his flames can destroy demons. Although I believe in God, I never thought that there are actually such creatures as demons in this World!"
As Scott's words fell, Natasha, who was sitting next to Steve with a beer, smiled and said, "Speaking of demons, the first time I truly saw a demon was with Lynn."
"Although I've experienced some supernatural events during my years at S.H.I.E.L.D., the demon in that hotel was simply..."
Natasha's words were halfway through when the alarm in the Base instantly blared.
"Friday, what happened?"
Hearing the alarm, Steve immediately stood up and asked Friday.
"Captain Rogers, the Mutant Red Tank suddenly appeared on the streets of New York and is indiscriminately attacking pedestrians!"
Saying that, Friday immediately retrieved the real-time surveillance.
In the surveillance footage, Red Tank grabbed a billboard and threw it, and the rapidly spinning billboard directly cut several unlucky pedestrians in half at the waist.
Not only that, but Red Tank also jumped into the middle of the road, forced a moving car to stop, then dragged the driver out and mercilessly ripped the driver's head off.
Around him, there were blood and severed limbs everywhere, and the wailing injured were directly stomped on the head by Red Tank!
As for the Police who shot at him, they had all been killed by him long ago!
Seeing this scene, the Illuminati members immediately took action.
Seeing the others leave, Ultron looked at the extremely bloody and cruel scene on the screen and couldn't help but ask Professor X, "Professor, this is the inferiority of humans. They like to bully the weak, like to harm the weak, to prove their strength, and they even take pleasure in slaughtering the weak."
Hearing Ultron say that, Professor X looked at the cruel scene in the video and said, "It's undeniable that what you said is right, Ultron, but this is definitely not the whole picture."
"There are also many strong people who are willing to help those weaker than them, protect those weaker than them, and even willing to sacrifice their lives for them!"
"Are you referring to the Illuminati and the Avengers?"
Turning his head to look at Professor X, Ultron thought for a few seconds, "I like the diversity of humans, it fascinates me a bit."
Manhattan.
Looking at the terrified ordinary people fleeing everywhere on the street, while Red Tank was still wantonly slaughtering in front.
Just as Red Tank punched a several-year-old little girl, Lynn, who was the first to arrive at the scene, teleported in front of him, then kicked him hard in the chest.
"Bang!"
Red Tank, who was kicked by Lynn, flew dozens of meters back, his massive body even directly collapsing the wall of a building.
"Wuwu... Mommy."
The terrified little girl sat on the ground, crying constantly. Following the direction of the little girl's finger, Lynn saw a woman covered in blood lying in a pool of blood.
"Roar!!!"
Just as the little girl was crying in terror, Red Tank's roar came again from inside the building, and then a slab of stone rapidly flew towards Lynn.
Seeing the stone slab thrown by Red Tank, Lynn released Heat Vision and directly shattered it, then the dusty Red Tank jumped out of the building.
"F*ck!"
Tony Stark, the second to arrive at the scene, saw the street full of severed limbs and the bodies lying in pools of blood.
In an instant, his eyes turned red. He was about to control his armor to rush over but was directly stopped by Lynn.
Handing the little girl on the ground to Tony Stark, Lynnsaid, "You are not his opponent, let me do it!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Tony Stark, whose heart was filled with anger, clenched his fists, then took the little girl and said, "Lynn, kill this son of a bitch!"
After speaking, Tony flew to a safe place with the little girl.
Seeing Tony leave, Lynn then refocused his gaze on Red Tank.
