------------------------------------------------
"See? What did I tell you? The Sorcerer Supreme is as impolite as ever… By the way, does she not know how to say goodbye politely?"
Karl curled his lips, but soon, he reined in the overbearing and eccentric demeanor on his face, returning to his usual composed and reserved self.
Although he no longer feared Ancient One and Kamar-Taj, Wanda was still studying magic with the bald demon king.
Furthermore, with Hyperspace just beginning its Dimensional War, if some old schemer found Karl through the internet, he might still need the bald demon king as a shield!
So, now was clearly not the time for a full-blown confrontation.
Moreover, given Karl's personality, he would not make such a shortsighted choice before completely draining Ancient One and Kamar-Taj of all their value.
Having concluded this unexpected interlude, Karl once again turned his gaze to the battle below.
After losing the psionic energy supply from Emma Russell, Ghidorah's corpse once again collapsed to the ground… This time, it was truly dead!
However, this global Titan Behemoth disaster was far from over.
The Titan Behemoths scattered across the World showed no signs of stopping, continuing to wreak havoc on human cities.
There was no other choice, as the previous Monster King, Godzilla, had suffered successive defeats, and the new Monster King, Ghidorah, had died unexpectedly so quickly.
Therefore, the leaderless Titan Behemoths were all preparing to contend for the title of the new Monster King!
But this saved Karl a lot of time.
Because this time, he planned to use King Kong to round up all the Titan Behemoths… Although this approach might seem a bit like draining the pond to catch all the fish at first glance.
After all, without these behemoths, the DiDi Substitute Driving Service would inevitably be impacted in the future, losing a considerable amount of money and Prestige value.
However, compared to the Dimensional War that Hyperspace was currently waging externally, these Titan Behemoths could clearly provide Hyperspace with a powerful and unique special Military unit, thereby creating greater value.
So… not only was there no loss, but he won big time!!!
So Karl pulled out his phone and called Wanda. A moment later, a massive portal opened out of thin air over the ravaged battlefield.
"Let's go, handsome, we're going to deal with the other Titans."
Karl slowly descended from mid-air, then stepped into the portal with King Kong, the half-dead Godzilla, and the terrified Mothra and Muto Queen, heading to other locations to eliminate the remaining Titan Behemoths.
Before leaving, Karl also specifically glanced at the many Titan Behemoth corpses left behind, but he did not have King Kong bring them back to Sokovia.
In fact, Karl did not intend to recover any of the Titan Behemoth corpses that were about to be killed.
The reason was simple… Karl believed that there would definitely be people or organizations who liked to court death that would set their sights on these behemoth corpses, thereby bringing him unexpected surprises in the future, such as… Mechagodzilla!!!
Of course, with Karl's business acumen, after personally witnessing the success of the Female MUTO Hunter Jaeger, he naturally wouldn't let those guys get these Titan Behemoth corpses for free as he had before.
He planned to have General Ross publicly auction these Titan Behemoth corpses afterward… with the highest bidder winning!
What?
You mean, wasn't he afraid of someone 'black-eating-black' or 'freeloading'?
Joking aside, after today's battle, if anyone still couldn't see reality, they would truly be too foolish!
Karl believed that even Nick Fury, that arrogant black man, would never dare to covet these Titan Behemoth corpses without his permission.
Otherwise, do you believe King Kong could directly lead the Titan Security Team to flatten the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.?
…
A few hours later, except for Tiamat, who had not yet appeared, all the other rampaging Titan Behemoths were directly killed under the Titan Security Team's group assault!
Afterward, Karl happily led the Titan Security Team back to Sokovia.
He was already eager to tally his gains from this disaster.
…
Thus, the "Titan Cataclysm," which swept across the globe and nearly led humanity to extinction, officially drew to a close!
However, discussions about Karl and King Kong had just begun.
"That's great, it's finally over! Mr. Karl Merks and Ape God are simply the Guardians of Earth, protecting humanity's safety from one disaster after another!"
"That's right, Mr. Karl is simply too handsome! He once again saved the World from disaster, saving us…"
"All the bad Titans have been cleared out this time, so I'm sure we won't have to encounter such terrifying behemoths, like a natural disaster, ever again!"
"Yes, but speaking of which, that damned Monarch Organization is truly hateful. If it weren't for the existence of these extreme environmentalists, this disaster wouldn't have happened today."
"The President and the Security Council must disband the Monarch Organization…"
"I agree!!"
+10086
The attention of the audience, who had been following the disaster, quickly shifted from praising Karl and King Kong's might to condemning the Monarch Organization.
Thus, an overwhelming wave of condemnation swept across the entire internet… And the mastermind behind this was naturally John Jameson!
"It's over, it's all over…"
On argo, the high-ranking officials of the Monarch Organization, except for Mark Russell, silently shed tears of unwillingness as they watched the tragically dead Titan Behemoth corpses on the big screen.
They never expected that this 'Titan Cataclysm' triggered by Emma Russell would ultimately conclude in such a brutal manner.
They were even more unable to accept that the Gods they believed in were all slaughtered at once… This was simply the biggest stain in the history of human civilization!
However, compared to Karl Merks, the 'Beast Butcher,' they surprisingly did not hate Emma Russell, the instigator of the disaster.
In fact, upon witnessing the slaughter of all the Titan Behemoths, their thoughts gradually underwent a series of even more extreme transformations.
From 'questioning Emma Russell' to 'understanding Emma Russell,' and finally to actively wanting to 'become Emma Russell.'
They believed they had seen through the essence of humanity and increasingly agreed with Emma Russell's extreme belief, which was practically a classic: that humanity was a plague harmful to Earth, and such humans were not worth saving.
But with the 'extinction' of the Titan Behemoths, they had completely lost their only method to restore Earth's order and balance!
And so…
Confusion, despair, unwillingness, anger, madness… The myriad emotions within the hearts of the Monarch Organization members ultimately transformed into deep resentment towards Karl.
Especially Serizawa Ichiro, upon personally witnessing Godzilla actually willingly degenerate and join Karl's faction, becoming a mere pawn at his disposal, he instantly felt utterly devastated, his heart like dead ash!
Yet, he was powerless to do anything about it.
Furthermore, Serizawa Ichiro knew very well that the Monarch Organization was truly finished this time!
Even if the Security Council did not issue an order to disband the Monarch Organization afterward, the Monarch Organization would completely lose its original strategic value due to the death of a large number of Titan Behemoths, and from then on, it would become an obscure, third-rate organization.
And similarly angry and frustrated was, of course, Nick Fury…
Seeing Karl not only shine in this 'Titan Crisis' by utilizing King Kong, but also witnessing his 'Beast Squad' once again achieve epic-level expansion, he felt even worse than if his parents had died.
"Motherfucker, that bastard Karl Merks stole the show again!!"
A furious Nick Fury slammed his fist on the table, his single eye filled with rage. "Hmph, we'll see how long you can be arrogant!"
Then he turned to Maria Hill, whose expression was slightly peculiar, and instructed:
"Immediately notify Damage Control. Make sure to collect all those Titan Behemoth corpses before the PPDC Organization!"
Nick Fury's calculations were shrewd.
After personally witnessing the powerful effect unleashed by the miraculous combination of Female MUTO and Pym Particles, he decided to emulate the PPDC Organization and use these behemoth skeletons to build a mechanical behemoth army exclusive to S.H.I.E.L.D., and then use Pym Particles to enlarge them, further enhancing their combat power!
As for the pilots of these giant mechas, Nick Fury had just come up with two solutions.
Firstly, if Dr. Hank Pym was willing to voluntarily hand over the technology for the Ant-Man combat suit, which could randomly shrink and enlarge, then things would be much simpler. He would only need to screen and train specific pilots.
However, based on his understanding of Dr. Hank Pym's character, even if he resorted to underhanded threats, that stubborn old man would most likely not yield on this issue.
Therefore, its feasibility was extremely low.
The other solution was relatively simpler and more efficient: wait until Eddie Brock brought back enough Alien Symbiotes from that Symbiote Planet, and then adapt and combine the selected pilots with specific Alien Symbiotes.
This way, the successfully adapted pilots would not only gain powerful strength and physique, but could also use the Alien Symbiote's mimetic ability to freely change their body shape, successfully controlling the enlarged cockpit.
Nick Fury personally favored the second option.
After all, this way, it could not only be linked with his Symbiote Soldier Program in a dreamlike way, but also avoid being constrained by Dr. Hank Pym's technology.
Thinking of this, Nick Fury couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Because if he hadn't had the foresight to recruit Eddie Brock and, against all opposition, initiated the Symbiote Soldier Program back then, this brilliant idea today would have no basis for realization at all!
And the real purpose behind Nick Fury's urgent desire to assemble a mechanical behemoth army was, naturally, to counterbalance Karl's formidable Titan Security Team.
What else could it be for?
Saving Earth?
Under Nick Fury's strategic thinking of "first stabilize internally before dealing with external threats," Karl had now become the primary mortal enemy directly threatening his and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s position.
So saving Earth and such could only be put aside for now, to be dealt with after he took care of Karl!
However, even if one were to take a step back, even if this project of assembling a 'mechanical behemoth army' ultimately failed to pass the Security Council's financial review, Nick Fury could still sell the remains of these behemoths at a high price to the PPDC Organization, who wanted to build new Hunter Mechas, thereby making a huge profit and replenishing his already overdrawn private coffers.
He could even use these behemoth remains as leverage, using the corpses to buy shares in the PPDC Organization… Nick Fury was not incapable of such things.
In short, I, Nick Fury, won big this time!!!
However… ideals are full, but reality is lean.
A few minutes later, Maria Hill reported to him with a bitter face: "Director Fury, well… the news from Damage Control is that they were just informed by the Military that they have no right to collect the remains of those Titan Behemoths."
"What did you say?!"
Nick Fury's anger flared up instantly, and he demanded fiercely: "When did it become the Military's turn to casually interfere with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operations?"
"No need to say, it must be that traitorous bastard Ross who's making trouble, isn't it?"
"Doesn't he know that the original purpose of Damage Control was specifically to supervise the collection and storage of alien and other foreign substances?"
"That… Director, it's not General Ross."
Maria Hill glanced at her boss's expression, carefully organizing her words in her mind, afraid that her next statement would provoke him, and cautiously reminded him:
"It's a presidential order personally issued by President Ellis. All the Titan Behemoth corpses this time will be publicly auctioned in a few days, with the highest bidder winning?"
"Hmm? Is President Ellis and the White House trying to use this fund for post-war reconstruction to earn a good reputation?"
Nick Fury's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly. He hadn't expected President Ellis to try to steal his business?
