Chapter 808: Marvel Side Story (1)
In the year 2017, on Earth.
Since Uehara Naraku left, the Hydra on Earth has not been completely eradicated; instead, it has become even stronger, at one point forcing Steve Rogers and other Avengers to go into hiding.
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Steve Rogers could only represent some of the Avengers.
Because now the entire Earth was in chaos, and after the disintegration of the Avengers, it has split into three factions, each with extraordinary strength.
The first faction.
The official Avengers.
Goddess of Death Hela, Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff, and Quicksilver Pietro Maximoff.
Ever since Hela was educated and captured by Uehara Naraku, she had no choice but to enter under the Akatsuki's banner...
Now, their rise to power within Earth's official ranks was not only due to their individual strength but also thanks to the support of Hydra and the Akatsuki Organization.
At the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.Wanda furrowed her brow, looking at the photo on the table with a grim expression. "Your Highness Hela, can you stop causing so much trouble? You can't always create tragedies in public. Although the ones you eliminate are terrorists..."
On the photo.
A tall tree of thorns.
A group of terrorists hung on the tree like clothes.
The photo looked extremely bloody, but it had appeared in many newspapers and magazines worldwide, sparking controversy. Few on Earth could accept superheroes using such brutal methods.
At least...
Not...
In front of a crowd.
"If death wants to cleanse the world, there is no need to choose time or place..."
Hela sat on the sofa, holding her cup slowly, taking a slow sip, and placing it on the tray. She frowned and said, "That fast-running little guy, go buy me another sugar-added one..."
"…Yes."
Pietro looked at Hela with a strange expression, then glanced at his sister. His body disappeared from the spot in an instant!
Wanda touched her forehead, and a hint of red flashed in her eyes. "Hela, you can't treat a superhero as a delivery guy. He's my brother..."
"Oh, that doesn't matter."
Hela waved her hand casually. "Those creatures are just a burden to us, just like Loki or Thor, they are all burdens that should not exist."
"…"
Wanda closed her eyes with a disgruntled look.
The relationship within this faction had always been unpleasant. In comparison, the second faction within the Avengers seemed more harmonious.
The second faction.
The Avengers underground resistance faction.
This group of resistance fighters had always been pursued, constantly living in hiding. Even Wakanda, their base, was completely lost, becoming a stronghold for Hydra. The situation was utterly tragic.
The people in this faction include: Steve Rogers, Thor Odinson, Bucky Barnes, Black Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, T'Challa, his sister Shuri, and the new Ant-Man, Scott Lang.
As well as elite agents like Nick Fury and Phil Coulson.
After learning the truth, Thor naturally chose his old friend Steve Rogers and others. He didn't quite like his sister Hela...
Moreover...
It seemed like Hela's favorite thing to do was to beat up her brother because he was the rightful heir to Asgard. It was naturally impossible for the two siblings to get along well with each other.
Of course, Thor couldn't beat Hela.
So recently Thor drank like there was no tomorrow.
And this burly man wasn't good with alcohol; Thor cried bitterly every day after getting drunk, mourning the loss of Asgard and accidentally losing his brother.
"I lost Loki..."
The drunk Thor hugged Clint Barton and burst into tears. A fat man weighing several hundred pounds cried like a child weighing several hundred pounds.
"Um..."
Clint Barton helplessly patted Thor's body, putting the drunkard aside, and looked at Nick Fury and others. "Haven't you told him yet? His brother Loki is actually living a more comfortable life than him..."
"Not yet. We need Loki to help us persuade Tony..."
Nick Fury shook his head and said in a deep voice, "But we recently got in touch with Loki. He seems to have some information from Thanos about Uehara Naraku..."
"What information?"
"Uehara Naraku's goal is not to rule Earth..."
Nick Fury's voice was somewhat muffled. "It is said that Uehara Naraku has been devouring planets in this universe. How a human can devour planets, this sounds somewhat unbelievable. Is Loki trying to deceive us again?"
"Maybe we should wait for him to bring more information!"
Natasha casually ended the topic and turned to Scott Lang. "Does Dr. Pym have any new discoveries?"
"I don't know..."
Scott frowned, "After rescuing his wife from the Quantum Realm, he was planning to retire..."
"Help us apologize to him..."
Nick Fury patted Scott's shoulder and said softly, "We have learned about the power of the Infinity Stones from Loki. Apart from the Infinity Stones, no one can defeat Uehara Naraku...
But now that Uehara Naraku has taken all the Infinity Stones unless you can steal them back from him, we can only steal them back from the other timeline."
"But..."
Scott couldn't help but mutter, "Didn't you all say that Loki is a liar? And how is it possible to travel through time? Where did he learn that?"
"…"
Everyone looked at each other.
At this moment, Natasha suddenly glanced at her phone, her face full of astonishment as she raised it up. "Loki sent over the theory of time travel! Is this guy still a scientist?"
"Probably Tony or Thanos told him..."
Nick Fury shook his head and took Natasha's phone.
Their Avengers faction had a difficult life, and even technological innovation relied on foreign aid, they even needed to persuade Loki to become their spy.
And as for Loki...
It seems like he can thrive anywhere.
Because he chose a different faction from his brothers and sisters on Earth.
The third faction.
Neutral faction.
Tony Stark, James Rhodes, Bruce Banner, the new Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange.
And...
The mischief-loving Loki Laufeyson.
In addition, they had recruited a new member, Spider-Man Peter Parker, adding another beloved member to their large family.
By the way...
There was also a guy named Thanos.
Actually, Tony Stark didn't want Loki to join at first, but because Doctor Strange believed that Loki's intelligence and alertness to danger were very beneficial, not to mention that it was unsafe to let an ambitious guy wander on Earth...
Of course, keeping Loki at home was also unsafe...
But soon their neutral faction had someone who could balance Loki, that was the galactic overlord, the Titan Thanos...
Or...
The former galactic overlord.
After being defeated by Uehara Naraku, Thanos could no longer maintain his legion. He could only wander the universe on his own, occasionally trying to maintain univers balance, but also facing the pursuit of Akatsuki.
Finally, Thanos arrived on Earth.
From then on, the neutral Avengers faction achieved technological leaps.
Now this group of people was discussing the theory of time travel and even proposed the possibility of using time travel to reclaim all the Infinity Stones.
"Our basic theory is almost complete..."
Tony Stark sat on the sofa and said, "But I feel like this is unnecessary. That guy Uehara Naraku isn't such a bad person..."
"That's because you haven't realized his danger, Tony Stark."
Thanos sat on a huge chair while playing with a small metal tool in his large palm, and said in a deep voice, "Now he's doing something even more dangerous than what I did... He wants to become the true god of this universe... If he really succeeds, then he can truly control everything... Control your soul... Even your thoughts..."
"Tony, I also think we should find a way to stop Uehara..."
Bruce Banner hesitantly suggested.
"I agree."
Loki chuckled and hugged his arms, although he said so, no one present knew what this cunning guy's real thoughts were.
"Then let's give it a try..."
Tony Stark rubbed his temples and sighed, "Let's try to build a test machine first. This is an interesting topic... Although I still don't think that guy Uehara Naraku would want to control people's minds. At most, that scoundrel would just secretly hide his identity and do bad things..."
