On the Frontline, even directly engaging with the Kingdom is not a good choice.
Temporarily avoiding a direct confrontation with the authorities, and figuring out the reason later, is a difficult choice that all Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. have to make.
Fortunately, the Avengers' Base is very close to the beach, and Nick Fury contacted the Kingdom of Atlantis.
After contacting Nick Fury, the Kingdom of Atlantis mobilized an underwater unit and arrived at the sea around the Avengers' Base in a short time.
Tony left quickly, and when he returned, there were many bullet and smoke marks on Tony's armor.
16 missiles from the Pacific Ocean had been intercepted by Tony, and the joint forces gathered in New York would still need some time to reach the Avengers' Base.
Nick Fury looked at Tony's wreckage and then said, "Tony, what happened to you at sea?"
Tony's face was serious when he spoke, "Aircraft appeared in the fleet at sea. Before I had time to get close to the fleet, I was attacked ｀ 」!"
No one knows what went wrong.
But just as everyone was waiting for the submarines of the Kingdom of Atlantis to arrive, a figure in a suit of Iron Man armor came through the air and landed in the center of the Avengers' Base with a bang.
The person who came was none other than Tony's nemesis in the United States, United States Colonel and War Machine James Rhodes.
James' appearance at this moment instantly dispelled the atmosphere in the room.
But after landing, James took the lead in opening the Iron Man armor on his body, showing his goodwill, and walked into the crowd with his hands raised.
Tony frowned and looked at his nemesis, and said, "James, what happened in this place? Has the United States military gone crazy?"
Pietro quickly mocked, "Yes, we just saved the World a few days ago!"
Frowning, James said.
"This is not an official order, nor is it an order from other national leaders. A group of unknown people suddenly appeared around the World and took control of the official regime..."
Nick Fury's face was full of anger, and he shouted.
"Is this a fucking reason to bullshit me? Don't fucking bullshit me. How can you use troops without the cooperation of high-level officials?"
James' face darkened and he said.
"Director Fury, Jovovich, you two are in trouble!"
Nick Fury: "..."
Xu Fu was the first to react and said.
"Is this the group of national leaders from Wakanda?"
James stood up and said.
"Yes, since the Chitauri appeared, countries have been considering the issue of establishing a joint force.
When interests and politics are involved, there is almost no right or wrong.
Xu Fu and Nick Fury's actions were just a little late.
And James' appearance here actually has an implicit meaning, that is, some dignitaries in the officialdom still support Xu Fu and Nick Fury's plan.
Nick Fury also calmed down at this time and said, "Colonel James, then what is your purpose here?"
James laughed mockingly, looked at the bullet marks on Tony's body, and said.
"Washington asked me to notify you to find a place to hide temporarily. The authorities are discussing and deciding on this matter, but obviously I am a little late!"
Tony's face also showed a painful expression, a little sullen.
Not long after, the underwater World centered on the Kingdom of Atlantis.
Xu Fu and the others left this place not long after they came back.
Things were much more serious than Xu Fu and the others imagined; the joint force's encirclement and suppression of the Avengers was not actually passed by a United Nations resolution, but someone used their power to issue a private order, trying to create a fait accompli.
Nick Fury's operation among the national leaders is still very in-depth.
Now there are often threats from the center of the Universe, and there are very few truly educated people. The Avengers are almost considered the main combat force on Earth and a barrier. There are still many people who are unwilling to destroy themselves.
In addition, the Avengers have a very good reputation in civil society teams around the World.
In a sense, it was two people, Xu Fu and Nick Fury, who provoked a huge political struggle that swept the World around the global alliance.
Of course, if we only rely on the politicians' bickering and arguments, it will undoubtedly lead to a long political struggle.
It was for this reason that Nick Fury and Xu Fu were willing to use shady means to deal with this political struggle after sending back messages from the Dimensional Battlefield. (Note)
Politicians are delaying Time, but this Planet doesn't have much Time left.
Not long after entering the Kingdom of Atlantis, Xu Fu couldn't help it and moved Tony and Steve directly to the room where Nick Fury was.
"．． Nick, we have to hurry, I need enough information!"
This is a murderous moment. In this situation, Xu Fu would rather get rid of those senior politicians who are hindering the entire plan than take on the name of a real wanted criminal.
Nick Fury was still a little hesitant and said.
"Are you really ready to do this? Once you do it, there is no turning back. Whether it is right or wrong, there will be no place for you on Earth in the future!"
Xu Fu was silent for a while and said.
"I myself am a murderer, aren't I? I come from the darkness and will melt into the darkness....".
Chapter 222 Doctor Strange's Heartfelt Understanding
For the Avengers, Advanced Shelter, S.H.I.E.L.D., Tianyan Organization, etc., the joint defense plan centered on the Algo-Moto seal can be temporarily ignored.
But there is no Time to waste on the siege of other-dimensional creatures.
Most surprisingly, the Valkyrie Knight Order was the most active in this call to action.
Tony was already a spendthrift, and Pepper was equally generous, giving him almost all of Tony's savings and customizing a set of steel battle armor for each Knight Order.
Not a complete Tony outfit, but a flaky armor similar to Thor's, occasionally showing off long legs, looking more like a group of heroines in ancient war movies or chic runway models than those who go to battle.
Even so, people don't have to worry too much about these women being in danger.
Frankly speaking, the average strength of this group of women is far inferior to that of the five Avengers.
Cypher, not to mention the legacy of Asgard's strongest Valkyrie, her equipment even possesses treasures such as the Asgardian artifact Dragonfang Sword.
Although Natasha has never stood out in combat within the Avengers, her role in intelligence gathering, as well as her exquisite wisdom and rich experience, are unmatched even by beings like Steve and Clint.
Needless to say, Giselle, like the inhabitants of Atlantis, inherited the bloodline of Zeus, the King of Gods, from the last space age; apart from not having devices like the Truth Lasso, Vulcan Sword, and Crown of Stars, she is a true miracle version of Wonder Woman.
In a sense, Heidi is a creature similar to a Mutant, only slightly more powerful; if detonated under the influence of severe irritants, it could easily burn half a city to ashes.
Betty's transformation into a Hulk woman and Jane's mutated Thunder manipulation abilities are equally extremely powerful.
Of course, little tomboys like Little Red Dragon, Mindy, and Morgan are not worth taking seriously.
What these people lack is not strength, but experience on the battlefield and a fierce fighting heart.
Frankly speaking, Xu Fu is very happy that these women have been able to get to this point, to be able to step out from behind a group of Avengers men.
Earth is becoming more and more dangerous these days.
If this group of women can really become a fighting force, then from a security point of view, it is at least more useful than organizing countless bodyguards for these people, and it can also make Xu Fu and the others feel safer in battle.
Of course, there is still a bit of sourness.
And apart from the involvement requests of these powerful Valkyrie Knights such as the Avengers and X-Men, they will all participate in helping the Magicians of the Higher Sanctums.
Resisting these extra-dimensional creatures is what the Higher Sanctums have been doing for the past six months, which seems to be the task of the other party, but in reality, it is the responsibility of everyone in the World.
Even if Kaecilius said nothing, after the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., and others discovered this matter, they would spontaneously participate.
At the same time, Xu Fu and Tony did not participate in this global action.
While Xu Fu entered the Dimensional Battlefield in the following days, Tony had a series of unexpected (bbai) explorations and insights into magic in a short period of Time.
Xu Fu still has a certain amount of face in the Higher Sanctums.
Although Kaecilius euphemistically denied Tony's "cut off the fuel supply" plan in the last conversation, he still did not hesitate to let him learn the basic knowledge and basic mysteries of magic.
And to Xu Fu and Tony's surprise, the magic apprentice Kaecilius sent to teach Tony was an unexpectedly familiar Doctor Strange.
Of course, the current Stephen Strange is not the real Dr. Strange, at most he is a disabled patient who has just come into contact with the mysteries of magic.
No one invited Stephen to a party, and no car accident occurred, but Stephen is still a cripple, and from a tragic point of view, he cannot be cured.
In the last battle in New York, Stephen was extremely unlucky, eating hot tea, singing songs, and being crushed by a boulder falling from the sky; the other parts of his body were fine, and the bones that should have been fused together could be straightened, except for one arm, the hand of the person eating with Stephen was shaking.
Unable to find a way at sea or underwater, Stephen found his way to Kama Taj under the inertia of the plot.
In fact, Xu Fu and the others happened to run into Stephen during the last great battle in Sokovia, when Stephen had just transitioned from an extremely materialistic scientific view to a qualified materialistic magic student, and because he was actually a native New Yorker, Kaecilius also drew another person.
This time, Tony wanted to learn some basic magic knowledge, and Kaecilius sent Stephen on his way.
In a sense, Stephen and Tony were both previously considered to be people who had achieved considerable success in a certain field of science.
Such people, although smart, also tend to have particularly strong minds, and once they settle on a scientific view, it is difficult to change.
Kaecilius saw how difficult it was for Stephen at the beginning; before Stephen showed his great magical talent, it had to be said that Stephen was the worst of all the magic students Kaecilius had brought.
The vast majority of magic students in Stephen's class have now shed the shameful status of apprentices, and even the dumbest ones have become Magicians.
But this Stephen, after a long and incomparably difficult struggle, has only just begun.
Xu Fu recognized Stephen from his memories of his previous life, while Tony was a partier who had just become Iron Man because of shrapnel in his heart and had known the best surgeons in New York and even the entire country.
Because they were "acquaintances", Jordan and Tony breathed a sigh of relief.
It's like "stealing food" at someone else's house; even with the owner's permission, Xu Fu and Tony always felt a little awkward in front of Kaecilius.
The situation is much better when you are standing face to face with Stephen.
Xu Fu calmly took out two cigars from his pocket, pointed in Stephen's direction, and said. "Do you want to take a few puffs to cool off?"
Stephen was stunned by this sudden move and Xu Fu's words; it had been a long time since anyone had said such a thing to him since Stephen's hands were cut off in the New York battle.
Before Stephen was disabled, there were quite a few such conversations at these honors and banquets.
Before he became a magician apprentice, Stephen would not have accepted such a move, and might even have been annoyed by having such a group of "friends", only to be ignored after Stephen became disabled, and not even lent him a penny for surgery.
At that time, Stephen was cynical and thought the whole World owed him.
