Chapter 281: The method to completely eliminate Hydra
Chapter 281: The Way to Completely Eliminate HYDRA
Natasha didn't wait for the second person to use their superpower, directly completing a counter-kill.
Strucker watched this scene, absolutely fuming.
The Inhumans he had painstakingly cultivated for experiments were so easily defeated?
He hadn't expected Natasha to be able to break free from the energy restraints and move quickly.
Natasha had too many trump cards; her loss was not undeserved.
The two experimental Inhumans were instantly defeated, which also meant this secret Base wouldn't last much longer.
However, Strucker wasn't worried about HYDRA being completely wiped out.
Cut off one head, and two more shall take its place!
This slogan for HYDRA wasn't just empty words.
After Alexander's Insight Project failed, Struckerimmediately activated the Tinder Project.
He cultivated a new batch of HYDRA members to serve as the backbone for rebuilding HYDRA in the future.
Not only that, Strucker also left behind a large number of valuable technologies.
Of course, Strucker also prepared a new trump card.
This trump card was enough to change the World.
Strucker waited for Steve and the others to arrive.
Ultimately, the incredibly strict defenses still couldn't stop the Avengers' attack.
Steve and the others rushed into the castle and saw Strucker waiting for them.
Tony looked at Strucker's calmness and couldn't help but sneer, "You're on the verge of death, and you're still so composed?"
Strucker wasn't flustered at all, "Cut off one head, and two more shall take its place!"
"You cannot completely eliminate HYDRA."
"One day, HYDRA will reappear!"
Steve said firmly, "Even if it reappears, I will eradicate it again!"
Strucker seemed to have heard a joke, "When you grow old, when all of you are gone, when HYDRA is even stronger than you, who will stop us?"
Steve said without hesitation, "I believe that no matter when, there will always be people who stand up and eliminate you!"
"Steve, you are too naive."
Steve neither confirmed nor denied, "Naive? Perhaps."
Natasha said, "Take him back; I have a way to make him talk."
Just then, Strucker suddenly said, "Hail, HYDRA!"
After saying that, he immediately stopped breathing.
Natasha quickly checked Strucker's vital signs, but there was no response.
"He had already taken the drug before we arrived."
Natasha's words meant that Strucker was beyond saving.
Even with the power of Talismans, he probably couldn't be brought back.
Natasha said regretfully, "There should still be some HYDRA members in hiding. Perhaps, as he said, when HYDRA develops and grows strong again, they will reappear."
Steve, however, was very confident, "Their secret Bases have all been eradicated by us. For a short time, they should quietly develop and grow, and not reappear."
Tony said, "It seems that for now, this is all we can do."
Steve also knew that the continuous battles had left everyone physically and mentally exhausted.
Now, all known secret Bases had been eliminated.
They had no way of dealing with the unknown secret Bases.
"Tony, go see if there are any documents."
"Everyone else, in pairs, investigate and see if there are any hidden HYDRA members in this secret Base!"
Everyone took action.
Tony checked Strucker's computer and found that all data had been destroyed. Even he couldn't recover it in a short time.
"Wait, there's a self-destruct program here. Run, get out quickly!"
Steve immediately reacted upon hearing Tony's words.
"Everyone, quickly run out of the castle."
Fortunately, the evacuation was timely.
The castle's explosion was powerful, but thankfully it didn't harm any innocents.
"Damn HYDRA, damn Strucker!"
Even the usually good-tempered Steve couldn't help but curse.
"Watch your language!"
Steve was very helpless. He had previously reminded Johnny not to swear.
He didn't expect that now everyone would use it to tease him.
"It's all over."
Tony couldn't help but say, "It's time to go back. I'm already starting to miss my comfortable bed. When I go back, I definitely need to get a good night's sleep first."
Steve looked at the ruins, "Although there are still some HYDRA members in hiding, I believe that one day, we will be able to completely eliminate them."
Tony, however, wasn't so optimistic, as these hidden people wouldn't be so easy to find.
"Completely eliminate them? I don't think that's possible. Unless we have the technology to identify HYDRAmembers. Otherwise, they will hide and gradually grow stronger."
Tony was also pondering a question: how to completely eliminate these HYDRA members.
The best way was to monitor the entire World.
Only then could the traces of HYDRA be easily discovered.
And to achieve this plan, he couldn't do it alone.
Tony thought of a solution: build an Iron Legion.
Create an Ultron robot to protect the World, let the robot protect the World, and let the robot monitor HYDRAmembers.
Only in this way could HYDRA be completely eliminated.
"It's time to go back!"
Steve and the others achieved great success, eliminating all known HYDRA Bases.
Upon returning, the first thing, of course, was to celebrate.
The celebration was held at the Hellfire Club.
Su Yi was incredibly excited to hear the news that Natashaand the others were returning.
They had finally completed their mission and returned safely.
Su Yi had been worried that something might go wrong and that he might have to go support them.
However, he hadn't received a call from Nick Fury, the Egghead.
Su Yi also knew that no news was actually the best news.
It meant that everything went smoothly and he didn't need to intervene at all.
After all, with such a lineup, if there were still problems, it wouldn't be a small problem at all.
The Avengers and others attended the gathering.
Su Yi also came to join in the fun.
During the conversation, the topic of completely eliminating HYDRA's hidden forces came up.
Tony brought up his plan: build Ultron robots and an Iron Legion to monitor and protect the World.
This plan was immediately rejected by Steve.
Such surveillance of the World was not very free.
Steve naturally couldn't tolerate it.
As for the small HYDRA, it wouldn't amount to much.
As long as it reappeared, they would just eradicate it again.
Tony was unconvinced and asked Su Yi to judge.
"Su, what do you think of my plan?"
Although Tony didn't have the Mind Stone, it was uncertain whether he would create an Ultron.
To be safe, Tony definitely couldn't implement this plan.
Furthermore, from a personal perspective, Tony building an Iron Legion to monitor the World was indeed a bit excessive.
Such behavior of an individual lording over the World was not advisable.
"This plan can indeed eliminate HYDRA, but it's not a good plan."
Speaking of completely eliminating HYDRA, Su Yi also had a method: use the Infinity Stones to snap his fingers.
That would be a truly permanent solution, eliminating future troubles.
However, Su Yi only thought about it; dealing with HYDRAwasn't worth such overkill.
Chapter 282 Zora ran away
Su Yi and the Avengers members gathered for a party and had a great time.
After HYDRA was destroyed, there were no major Villainsforces left in the mortal Universe.
As for snapping fingers to completely eliminate HYDRA, it seemed a bit unwarranted.
Su Yi didn't think much of it; HYDRA could no longer stir up any trouble.
Just as everyone was having a good time, Nick Furyarrived.
Nick Fury's appearance was not unexpected.
Now that HYDRA was gone, S.H.I.E.L.D. no longer had a reason to exist.
Soon, S.H.I.E.L.D. would completely disappear.
"Congratulations on eliminating many of HYDRA's Bases."
"However, I also have some bad news to tell you: Dr. Zolaescaped!"
Most people looked confused, having never heard that name before.
Only Steve felt very curious.
Bucky was frozen by HYDRA and lived until now.
Was Dr. Zola also frozen?
Steve clearly remembered that he had captured Dr. Zolaand handed him over to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"What's going on? Who is Dr. Zola?"
Steve looked at Nick Fury curiously, "I remember I captured Dr. Zola and handed him over to S.H.I.E.L.D. He lived until now and could still escape?"
Nick Fury explained, "Dr. Zola and some other HYDRAresearchers were recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., which is why HYDRA was able to infiltrate."
"Dr. Zola uploaded his consciousness to a computer due to cancer."
"For so many years, Dr. Zola had been in a discarded state."
"So, we also forgot about Dr. Zola."
"Until recently, HYDRA detonated the Base where Zolawas located."
"After investigation, we suspect that HYDRA took Dr. Zolaaway."
Su Yi was a bit surprised that HYDRA had actually taken Dr. Zola away.
"Why did they take Zola?"
Nick shook his head, "I'm not sure either."
Su Yi also couldn't understand what use there was in taking Zola.
Zola was indeed a genius scientist, but compared to Strucker, Su Yi felt that Strucker was more formidable.
Strucker, after all, lived in modern times, and the knowledge he accessed and learned was more advanced.
It's also possible that Strucker used himself to attract Fire, helping HYDRA to remain hidden.
Besides Strucker, there weren't many other outstanding scientists.
To cultivate a new generation of HYDRA members, a wise scientist was needed.
Therefore, they chose Zola, who was not very conspicuous.
Alternatively, after Zola uploaded his consciousness to a machine, his knowledge improved, making him smarter than Strucker.
Or, HYDRA was counting on the unique nature of Zola's digitized consciousness data.
They planned to use Zola to invade networks, obtain key passwords for super weapons, and thereby destroy the Universe.
Besides this, Su Yi also had a bold conjecture.
In the "What If...?" series, Infinite Ultron conquered multiple Universes.
The assembled team used Dr. Zola as a virus to invade Ultron's mechanical body.
So, is it possible that HYDRA in this Universe could use Zola to create Zola Robots?
Su Yi was just making a bold guess; he wasn't entirely sure of the specific reason why HYDRA took Zola.
Su Yi's crazy actions had already caused many plotlines to deviate from what Su Yi knew.
Now, the general direction of the story's development was still the same.
But many of the details within it had already changed.
For Su Yi, Zola's escape was just a small deviation, and Su Yi didn't take it to heart.
If Zola, like the other HYDRA members, hid, Su Yi wouldn't be able to find him.
Unless Zola would appear and cause trouble.
"Zola should be hiding with the remaining HYDRAmembers. Since Zola could devise the Insight Project, perhaps HYDRA needs him to come up with more evil plans."
"That's possible."
"Su, do you know where Zola and they might be hiding?"
Su Yi shook his head, "I don't know either."
Tony deliberately feigned surprise, "Really? Is there something you don't know?"
"Of course there is; I'm not omniscient and omnipotent."
"That's right, if you were omniscient and omnipotent, then you would be God."
"Don't worry about Zola; no matter what his plans are, we can defeat them."
Everyone continued to drink and have fun, not taking Zola's matter to heart at all.
Su Yi also had a great time chatting with the girls... The end of the year was approaching, and Christmas in the West was the most important holiday.
Everyone had their own lives, and after finally ending the HYDRA affair, they definitely needed to relax and enjoy the holiday.
What Su Yi didn't know was that his conjecture had come true.
In a secret HYDRA Base, Dr. Zola, with the help of outsiders, uploaded his consciousness to a mechanical body.
Dr. Zola once again possessed his own body.
"Welcome back, Dr. Zola, how does the new body feel?"
Zola looked at his body, feeling it through the machine, and was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
"It's been many years since I had my own body, and it's a mechanical body. This feeling is very strange."
Zola adapted for a while; although he was very unaccustomed to it, this body was strong enough and could do many things.
Once Zola had fully adapted, the assistant beside him immediately said, "Dr. Zola, you are now the supreme leader of HYDRA."
"What should we do next?"
"The Avengers destroyed the Insight Project, eliminating our secret Bases one by one."
"We suffered heavy losses, and even Baron Struckersacrificed his life!"
"We must eliminate the Avengers and make HYDRA rise again!"
Dr. Zola naturally knew these messages and had similar thoughts.
Regarding the future development of HYDRA, Zola already had a plan.
So, Zola spoke, "I already have a plan. I've named the new plan the 'Eternal Life Project'!"
The assistant was very confused, "Eternal Life Project?"
"Yes, I plan to transform everyone into beings like me, no, to be precise, even more powerful than I am now, into perfect Sentinels."
Flesh is weak, mechanical ascension?
Is this to make everyone no longer human?
The assistant imagined himself becoming a robot, unable to eat, drink, or procreate, and felt a bit uncomfortable.
Zola seemed to see through the assistant's thoughts and continued, "The current mechanical body is not perfect enough; we still need to continue our research."
"In the future, the body of Eternal Life will definitely be more powerful than those with superpowers."
"Yes, Leader Zola!"
Zola looked at his body and couldn't help but sigh, "The Sentinel Robot was truly a great concept, but unfortunately, Stryker died."
"His plan will be carried out by me."
"Next, we will secretly capture Mutants for research."
The assistant beside him immediately replied, "Yes, Leader Zola."
Chapter 283 An Explosion
Christmas was approaching, and snow began to fall in the City of Freedom.
Su Yi was quite relaxed, preparing to celebrate the holiday.
Christmas would be celebrated, and Chinese New Year would also be celebrated; after all, the timing was different.
Su Yi also got busy, preparing to bring all his Hong Yan to the Villa to celebrate the holidays together.
However, many people had to go home.
Gwen, Mary Jane, and others still had families, and they would definitely go home for the holidays.
Aside from them, everyone else could be invited over.
Su Yi invited people over, of course, for the holidays, and for no other purpose.
Most of those living in the old Villa were homeless, so naturally, they all had to be brought over.
Pepper, Christine, Vanessa, and the others would definitely come over.
With so many people, it would certainly be very lively then.
Su Yi also felt very happy; he now had a home in this World, and it was a large family at that...
Pepper, as usual, left Stark Industries, just got into her car, and was about to drive home.
Suddenly, a man approached her vehicle and knocked on the window.
Pepper looked at the person, feeling a bit wary.
The person's behavior did not seem like that of a good person.
Pepper chose not to roll down the window but instead started the car, preparing to leave.
However, Pepper discovered a problem.
Her vehicle wouldn't start, meaning she might not be able to leave temporarily.
There was a stranger outside, and her car wouldn't start at this moment; someone might have tampered with it.
Pepper immediately tensed up, took out her phone, and contacted Su Yi.
"Hello, Su."
"Pepper, do you miss me?"
"I'm in the company's parking lot, it seems..."
Before Pepper could finish her sentence, she saw the person outside undergo a change.
The person's hands began to glow, like a red-hot iron block.
Pepper was incredibly shocked; the person might be a super-powered individual.
Su Yi heard Pepper's voice and was extremely worried.
"Pepper, the Armor, put on the Armor, I'll be there immediately."
Su Yi had Tony make a set of Armor for Pepper, stored in her car.
She only needed to press a button, and the seat behind her would transform into the Armor, covering her entire body in just a few seconds.
Pepper heard Su Yi's prompt and immediately put on the Armor.
Su Yi also teleported directly, appearing at Stark Industries, then headed towards the underground parking lot.
Just as Su Yi arrived, an explosion occurred in front of him.
Su Yi stared at the direction of the explosion, stunned in place.
Such a violent explosion meant Pepper would definitely be in extreme danger.
"Pepper!"
Su Yi was burning with anxiety and rushed into the explosion.
As soon as Su Yi arrived, the Iron Man Armor also burst out from the Fire and landed not far away.
Su Yi saw the Armor and immediately relaxed a lot.
She had put on the Armor, so the problem shouldn't be too big.
Su Yi hurried over, and Pepper, disregarding that she was still wearing the Armor, directly threw herself into Su Yi's arms.
Su Yi quickly comforted her, saying, "I'm here, it's okay, everything is over."
Pepper also opened her helmet, revealing a panicked face.
"Pepper, are you hurt?"
Pepper shook her head and said, "No."
"That's good, that's good."
Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Pepper was fine; otherwise, Su Yi truly didn't know what crazy things he would do.
"Pepper, what happened?"
Pepper was no longer the little assistant she once was but the CEO of Stark Industries, and her psychological resilience had greatly improved.
With Su Yi's comfort, she quickly calmed down and recounted what she had just experienced.
"A man, he suddenly appeared near the car. I didn't want to pay attention to him, but his hands turned red, just like glowing hot iron."
"Then, he exploded."
"Fortunately, I put on the Armor."
After listening to Pepper's description, the first thing Su Yithought of was naturally Nitro, a well-known Villain from the comics.
But, obviously, it shouldn't be him.
Su Yi thought of someone who had disappeared for a long time, Killian, the one who researched Extremis with Maya Hansen.
He had escaped back then.
Now it seemed Killian's Extremis should have been successful.
This explosion should be Killian's revenge on Tony Stark.
Su Yi couldn't help but complain, "You're taking revenge on Tony, what does that have to do with my girlfriend?"
After complaining, Su Yi remembered that Pepper was the CEO of Stark Industries, so the connection was quite significant.
Su Yi knew that Killian's target for revenge was Tony.
Therefore, the revenge against Tony and Maya Hansenwould definitely be even more ferocious.
So, Su Yi immediately picked up his phone and notified Tony.
Tony answered the phone, "Hello, Su, is something wrong?"
"Killian is back for revenge on you. Be careful, and remember to remind Maya."
"Also, protect Zhao Hailun!"
Before Tony could hang up, Jarvis's voice came through.
"Sir, a plane is approaching!"
Tony thought, "This is bad," and said, "Su, help me protect Maya!"
Su Yi was a bit speechless, but seeing Tony like this, he was probably too busy.
Since that was the case, he could only go himself.
However, there was also a problem at hand.
These people injected with Extremis would recover after self-destructing.
If he wasn't here, what would happen to this one?
Su Yi was just thinking when he suddenly felt movement in the Fire.
"Oh, I originally thought I wouldn't make it."
"I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry to die, well then, don't blame me."
"Pepper, don't take off your Armor, stay alert, there might be other dangers."
Su Yi rushed in directly, without another word, and teleported the person to Space.
You like to self-destruct, right?
Come, in Space, let's see if you can explode.
If you can explode, then it doesn't matter if you explode a few more times.
After Su Yi dealt with this person, he teleported to the laboratory.
Fortunately, the laboratory's defenses were strong.
These people did indeed cause an explosion, but it did not affect the internal area; instead, they blew up the entrance to the experimental park.
The person was about to enter the internal part of the experimental Base when Su Yi suddenly appeared.
When the other party discovered Su Yi, he wasn't surprised at all; instead, he directly charged at Su Yi.
Su Yi also chose to repeat the move, sending the person to Space again, letting them explore the Universe.
Su Yi found that this method was really good.
It was absolutely fatal and would not damage the Midgard.
Su Yi observed for a while, and after confirming there were no other enemies, he finally relaxed.
Zhao Hailun was bolder; seeing Su Yi appear, she knew she was saved.
"Su, what happened?"
"Nothing, a bad person, I've already sent him to explore the Universe."
"Explore the Universe?"
"Yes, that is, sending them to the edge of the Solar System..."
Zhao Hailun didn't say much; she knew this person was definitely not ordinary.
Sending him to outer Space wasn't a bad thing either.
As for Maya, she figured it out.
This person had been injected with Extremis.
His appearance here must be directed at her.
Chapter 284: Lure the Snake Out of its Hole to Catch Killian
Su Yi rescued Maya Hansen, foiling Killian's plan.
Maya was incredibly nervous, worried about Tony's safety.
Tony's situation was indeed the most dangerous.
Killian's hatred for Tony was also the deepest.
To deal with Tony, he directly dispatched fighter jets to launch missiles at Tony's Villa.
Fortunately, Tony Stark's armor technology was constantly upgrading, and he also had Su Yi's reminder.
Tony Stark only reacted then, putting on his armor before the missiles arrived.
Missiles destroyed Tony Stark's Villa, but Tony seized the opportunity to fly out, escaping this ordeal.
However, the matter was not over yet.
Seeing Tony escape, the people Killian sent immediately targeted Tony.
Tony and the fighter jets began to battle.
Relying on the armor's compact flexibility, Tony flew through the air, dodging the enemy's attacks.
He also took the opportunity to launch small missiles, taking down these fighter jets.
Tony watched as all the fighter jets were taken down by him, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking back at his Villa, it had already become a ruin.
Tony immediately became anxious, "Jarvis, contact Maya!"
...Maya and Zhao Hailun were both safe, but Maya was very worried about Tony.
So, Maya asked Su Yi to rescue Tony.
Su Yi also believed Tony should be fine, but to be safe, Su Yi still decided to go himself.
No matter what, Tony was also his friend, and even more, an excellent tool.
Su Yi could not lose Tony, just as a shut-in cannot do without a delivery rider.
Tony's call had just connected when he saw someone suddenly appear.
"Sir, Su Yi has appeared."
Maya also answered the call, and after they both confirmed their safety, they each felt relieved.
Su Yi used this time to observe the surrounding situation; there was no one else.
Su Yi was a little surprised, how come there were no people injected with Extremis among those dealing with Tony Stark?
It seems Killian's plan has failed.
Tony Stark, Maya Hansen, and Pepper are all safe and sound.
Not only that, they also lost two subordinates.
These two people injected with Extremis were both sent to Space by Su Yi.
Tony landed beside Su Yi, "Thank you, Su!"
Su Yi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. If it weren't for your armor, Pepper might also have been injured."
Tony was incredibly angry that Killian had attacked those close to him; this was something Tony absolutely could not tolerate.
"Damn Killian!"
"I thought he would hide after he escaped. I didn't expect him to dare to appear again."
Su Yi was also very angry that Killian had put his Hong Yan in danger.
A dragon has a reverse scale; touching it means certain death!
Killian's actions directly offended both Tony and Su Yi.
So, it can only be said that Killian's death was not unjust.
"Tony, do you have a way to determine Killian's current location?"
Tony said, "I will do my best to find Killian's whereabouts."
"Notify me when you find him!"
Tony understood Su Yi's feelings; Su Yi must be as angry as he was.
Just then, Jarvis reminded him, "Sir, an unknown force has invaded the network."
Tony was a little surprised and immediately understood what was happening.
"It doesn't seem to be Killian, but another force."
Su Yi was a little confused, "What?"
Tony immediately explained, "Just now, a force invaded the network. They claimed that these disturbances were their doing."
Su Yi remembered that in the movie, Killian hired an actor to disguise himself as the Ten Rings Gang.
In reality, he was the mastermind.
Su Yi reminded him, "Don't think too much; it's Killian's doing!"
"Pepper and Maya, they encountered people who could self-detonate."
"These people's abilities come from the Extremis virus Killian researched."
"Who else could it be besides Killian?"
Tony did not deny it, "So, is it possible that two forces have teamed up?"
Su Yi thought for a moment, "Whether it's one force or two, they must all be eliminated!"
"You're right."
Su Yi thought about the plot in the movie; Killian seemed to have also teamed up with a certain senator, intending to deal with the big boss of the Land of Freedom.
Su Yi didn't know if this world would also be like this, after all, there were differences.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Yi decided to discuss it with Tony.
"I think this matter isn't that simple. The appearance of these people, and what you've encountered here, Killianmight have received support from someone."
Tony, after Su Yi's reminder, also realized the complexity of the matter.
"Su, do you know something?"
Su Yi continued to spoil, "It's just a possibility; I can't confirm the specific situation."
"What possibility?"
"Killian is cooperating with a certain big shot, not only to get revenge on you but also to replace the person in power."
Tony's eyes widened; Killian's ambition was not small.
Moreover, the matter was very serious, and Tony couldn't stop it.
"If they really have such a plan, the problem becomes even more serious."
Su Yi patted Tony's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will help you."
"And, since the matter is serious, maybe that bald man Nick can also help."
"Nick? S.H.I.E.L.D. is gone, and he's retired. How can he help us?"
"That old fox has many tricks; you can't underestimate him."
"That's true."
Su Yi and Tony planned; the most urgent task was to find Killian's location.
If Killian could be found, then everything would be resolved.
No matter how powerful Killian was, could he be more formidable than the person in front of him?
Su Yi suddenly had a bold idea, "Tony, I have a way that might catch Killian."
"What idea?"
"Killian hates you immensely and must desperately want to capture you, or even destroy you. So, you just need to release news, provoke Killian, and arrange to meet him."
Su Yi's plan was simple: lure the snake out of its hole, using Tony Stark to bait Killian out.
"This seems like a good plan."
"You just need to find a good place, and then attend the meeting alone. I can teleport and immediately bring people to support you."
Tony was incredibly excited, "Good idea. You won't be on site, so they won't suspect anything. Then, when you suddenly appear, they definitely won't have time to react."
Su Yi continued, "Your mission is to survive until you've lured Killian out."
Tony, upon hearing this, gritted his teeth and agreed.
"I'll bring all my armors; I refuse to believe they can destroy them all."
Tony now had more than a dozen armors, a considerable number, which should be enough.
"Let's do it!"
Tony made a decisive decision.
Subsequently, he immediately used Jarvis to start recording, preparing to declare war on the Ten Rings Gang, and at the same time, declare war on Killian!
"You disgusting bugs, I, Tony Stark, am not afraid of you!"
"Do you see? I have over a dozen armors!"
"If you've got what it takes, then come on!"
Chapter 285 Come out, Su
Tony Stark went head-to-head, directly declaring war.
This action immediately garnered a lot of support.
After all, Killian's planned actions were simply too large in scale.
Not only here, but several other important locations also had operations planned.
Such a large-scale event caused widespread unease.
When Tony stepped forward at this moment and confronted these people, everyone was naturally very Happy.
"Support Iron Man!"
"These people are truly despicable."
"Could it be that these people are also from HYDRA?"
"I just came back from Times Square, and it's a good thing I did, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died too."
"Defeat them!"
...Killian also saw Tony's video.
Watching Tony's provocation, Killian felt incredibly pleased.
"Tony Stark, back then, you stood me up!"
"Not long ago, you even destroyed my company!"
"Now, this is just the beginning."
"What's the use of you having over a dozen suits of armor?"
"I, injected with Extremis, am far more powerful than your armor."
Killian was very satisfied with his current condition; he was powerful, possessed extreme self-healing abilities, and could even self-detonate.
Killian intended to use Extremis to exact his revenge on Tony Stark.
Not only that, Killian also planned to collaborate with a big shot to elevate him to the supreme position.
At that time, his own status would also rise, and he would possess ultimate power.
"Boss, there's a problem!"
"What's wrong?"
"The people who went to capture Pepper and Maya Hansen haven't returned yet, and there's no news."
Killian immediately suppressed his smile, his expression changing.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know either."
Killian couldn't understand where the problem had occurred.
To deal with Tony Stark, Killian had made thorough preparations, secretly investigating Tony Stark and those around him long ago.
He was certain that Pepper only had one bodyguard, Happy, and a boyfriend.
Maya Hansen, staying in a heavily guarded laboratory, might be a bit more troublesome.
However, he didn't expect to fail to capture either of them.
"Boss, do you think it could be those Superheroes?"
The City of Freedom has many Superheroes, which is something everyone knows.
But Killian didn't think he was so unlucky as to coincidentally run into two Superheroes.
Killian was very frustrated, having originally thought his plan was foolproof.
As a result, the two most crucial links had problems.
If he could capture these two women, he would easily be able to deal with Tony Stark.
However, he hadn't expected the plan to fail, and these two had completely lost contact.
Although he didn't know the exact situation, nothing could stop Killian's intention to continue with his plan.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
"Tony Stark will definitely strengthen the protection of Pepper and Maya Hansen, making it even more difficult to capture them."
Killian looked at the arrogant and unbridled Tony Stark in the video, fuming with anger.
His original plan was to capture these two, and then bring the emperor over to complete his plan.
Now it seemed a bit difficult to achieve.
"In that case, let's eliminate Tony Stark first!"
Tony Stark claimed to have over a dozen suits of armor, but Killian wasn't worried at all.
What's the use of so many suits of armor?
Tony Stark is still just one person, only able to wear one suit of armor, isn't he?
At that time, no matter how many suits he has, he will tear him apart.
"Tony Stark, as you wish."
"Since you want to find me, then fine, I'll come find you!"
Killian gave his orders, deciding to personally go and fight Tony Stark to the death...Tony settled Maya Hansen and then decided to wait for Killian's arrival.
Days passed, and at first, many people were very expectant.
However, no news came, and Killian did not appear.
Thus, many people lost their patience.
Tony Stark was also about to give up.
Christmas was coming soon, and he still had to spend it with Maya Hansen.
Of course, Tony also knew that if these people didn't show up, he wouldn't have a good Christmas.
Moreover, these people were very likely to choose the holiday period to appear here.
Tony became very impatient and sent another message, continuing to provoke.
"You cowards, are you scared?"
"If you're scared, then hurry back to the sewers."
"I'm giving you two more days. If you still don't show up, then I'm going to celebrate Christmas!"
Tony did this to draw them out.
Killian saw Tony's impatience and knew that the plan was half successful.
Regardless of whether there were other Superheroes, several days had passed, and they must all be impatient from waiting.
This was the perfect time.
Killian felt that Tony Stark should focus his defenses on Christmas.
So Killian decided to set off tomorrow night to deal with Tony Stark.
Killian thought Tony was on the third floor, but in reality, Tony and Su Yi had always been in the stratosphere.
Tony waited for several days but Killian never appeared.
Tony also tried to investigate other clues, and he also asked Nick Fury to investigate, and he really did find a little clue.
A certain big shot seemed to truly be acting strangely.
Then, all that was left was to capture Killian, and everything would be over.
However, Killian was like a rat, always hiding and not appearing, making Tony very impatient.
It was Su Yi's frequent persuasion that made Tonypersevere.
On this night, just when Tony thought he would be here in vain again, someone arrived.
Tony immediately realized that these people must be the ones he was waiting for.
So, he immediately put on his armor, ready for battle.
Killian drove up with several of his subordinates, arriving in front of Tony Stark.
Killian sneered as he looked at Tony Stark, unable to resist mocking, "Tony Stark, are you waiting for me?"
"Do you also know how painful it is to wait for someone who doesn't come?"
Tony's heart bloomed with joy when he saw Killian appear.
Waiting for someone who doesn't come?
Didn't he just wait for him?
Killian continued his long speech, "Back then, I told you my plan, and you told me to wait for you on the rooftop."
"But that night, I didn't wait for you."
"From that day on, I swore that I would make you look at me with new eyes, I would make you regret, I would step on the high and mighty Tony Stark."
"Today is the day!"
Tony was a bit speechless, because Killian's long monologue was truly wasting his precious time.
He had waited this long just to draw him out.
"Killian, you shouldn't have laid hands on Pepper and Maya."
Killian, thinking he controlled everything, said arrogantly with disdain in his eyes, "Why not?"
"Do you think these suits of armor can stop me?"
"Why not?"
Killian showed a hint of a sneer.
The two's conversation was unproductive, and they were about to fight.
However, before that, Tony still had one thing to do, and that was to summon Su Yi!
"Come out, Su!"
Chapter 286 Desperate Virus, that's it?
Tony immediately contacted Su Yi, summoning him.
Su Yi was a little surprised; had he really reeled in Killian, this 'fish'?
Su Yi had thought Killian would be more cautious.
Su Yi couldn't be bothered with the details anymore; he'd deal with Killian first.
Daring to lay hands on his Hong Yan, making him unable to enjoy the holidays in peace.
Su Yi naturally wouldn't let him off easily.
In an instant, Su Yi had already donned his suit and appeared before the ruins of Tony's Villa.
What surprised Su Yi was that no fight had broken out here at all.
Looking around, Killian was indeed present.
Good heavens, Killian had already come in person.
Su Yi had thought Killian would send people to deal with Tony, and only appear when the time was right.
It seemed Su Yi understood now.
He had underestimated Killian's hatred for Tony Stark.
Killian saw Su Yi suddenly appear, and with that ability and attire, he immediately knew Su Yi's identity.
However, Killian was not flustered at all.
Just a Mysterious Spider-Man, he'd take care of him too.
After injecting Extremis, Killian was incredibly confident in his abilities.
Super strength, the ability to raise his body temperature to terrifying levels, and even self-destruct.
He could also regenerate limbs, even after self-destructing.
No matter how strong Su Yi was, could he withstand his explosion?
If he could withstand it once, could he withstand it ten or eight times?
Killian was very confident in himself and very annoyed by Su Yi's sudden appearance.
"Are you going to stop me?"
Su Yi explained, "I originally couldn't be bothered with you, but unfortunately, you're looking for death!"
"You actually dared to harm my Hong Yan, so I can't ignore it."
Killian didn't guess that the person Su Yi was referring to was Pepper; he only thought Su Yi's Hong Yan must have been accidentally injured.
Killian was a Villain, and in devising such a plan, he had already abandoned his humanity.
"It seems you have a reason you can't refuse to act. If that's the case, then let me see how strong the Mysterious Spider-Man, hailed as the strongest of Superheroes, truly is."
Su Yi also had no intention of wasting time, rushing directly to Killian.
Su Yi wasn't in a hurry to make a move, waiting for Killianto act instead.
Seeing Su Yi not attacking, Killian decided not to hold back either.
His hands began to heat up until they glowed red.
This temperature was enough to melt steel.
Killian's idea was to give Su Yi a 'hot treatment'.
Seeing this, Su Yi grabbed Killian's two arms and performed a legendary move.
Tearing off a Japanese soldier with his bare hands!
...No, he just forcibly tore off one arm.
There was no blood and gore; it was like breaking a dry branch.
This wasn't a dislocated joint, but rather directly turning Killian into a one-armed man.
Killian was in immense pain and even more terrified.
He didn't understand how terrifying this person in front of him was.
He actually relied on sheer strength to dislodge one of his arms.
Moreover, this method was too cruel, not at all like what a Superhero would do.
In just a brief encounter, Killian's heart was shrouded in a shadow of fear.
Tony Stark was also completely shocked. He had originally thought Su Yi would easily knock the man down and tie him up.
He never expected Su Yi to choose such a cruel method.
Although he was also very angry, this cruel method made Tony a little unable to watch.
"Brother, isn't this too cruel?"
"It's fine, he can regenerate limbs. It'll be fine when they grow back."
Killian was filled with immense fear; the person in front of him seemed more like a devil.
The Spider before him seemed as if he would devour people.
Killian fell into a state of terror, deeply regretting his appearance here.
Tony continued to ask, "Even if he can regenerate, isn't this a bit too cruel? He must be in pain, right?"
Just thinking about the scene made one feel pain, let alone Killian, who was experiencing it firsthand.
Killian then remembered that his other hand was still being held by Su Yi.
If he didn't act soon, he might have to go through it again.
There was no other way; he could only choose to self-destruct.
Killian showed a fierce expression, deciding to self-destruct.
Su Yi also saw through Killian's intention, but he wasn't afraid at all.
Just an explosion, Su Yi could easily withstand it.
The energy inside Killian's body gradually converged, and in another two seconds, it might explode.
Su Yi delivered a direct powerful slap to Killian's face.
The immense force made Killian's face sting with pain, and it even swelled rapidly.
This slap directly stunned Killian, interrupting his self-destruction.
"So you're the only one who can self-destruct, huh?"
After Su Yi retorted, he delivered another slap, making Killian's cheeks symmetrical.
"You..."
Su Yi saw that Killian was still unconvinced and prepared to continue acting.
Meanwhile, Killian's subordinates finally came to their senses and were ready to rescue Killian.
However, these people were certainly no match for Su Yi. Su Yi watched them rush over and recalled Superman's famous scene.
He dealt with Cyborg, Aquaman, and Wonder Womanwhile also suppressing Flash with his gaze.
Su Yi watched these people charge at him, directly grabbed Killian, and flung him towards Killian's subordinates.
Like bowling, he knocked down several of them.
There were still two left, so it would take a little more time.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yi had knocked everyone down.
However, there was still one problem: these people would explode, making them difficult to contain.
Furthermore, S.H.I.E.L.D. had disbanded, and he didn't even know who to contact to imprison them.
Developing an antidote to eliminate their abilities would take time.
What to do during this period was also a problem.
The simplest way, of course, was to directly exile these people out of the Solar System.
As Su Yi was contemplating how to deal with these people, Killian gave the order, "Explode together, blow him up!"
Although Killian was a bit slurred, everyone still understood his meaning.
Killian, along with a few subordinates, decided to use this method to directly eliminate Su Yi.
Unfortunately, they thought Su Yi was too weak, or perhaps they overestimated themselves too much.
The massive explosion was earth-shattering, echoing through the sky.
Su Yi remained motionless at the center of the explosion, wantonly absorbing most of the energy.
As the flames dissipated somewhat, Killian and the others watched Su Yi slowly walk out, falling into shock.
Their strongest method couldn't even harm a single hair on Su Yi.
"Extremis, is that all you've got?"
"It looks pretty ordinary, it can't harm me at all."
Su Yi struck again, a slap for each person, directly knocking them to the ground.
"Tony, contact the relevant personnel, have them arrested. Then develop an antidote to eliminate their abilities."
Su Yi looked at Killian and the others, "If you don't want to experience the pain of having your arms torn off, and don't want to be exiled to Space, you'd best behave yourselves."
After lecturing Killian, Su Yi felt a sense of dullness.
Indeed, fighting these weak Villains was too uninteresting.
Chapter 287 Christmas
Dealing with Killian was quite troublesome, as without a professional team like S.H.I.E.L.D., handling these superpowered Villains would be very difficult.
Especially since they would only imprison these people here, not directly eliminate them.
Su Yi was busy for a while, then went home.
The holidays were approaching, and Su Yi was also looking forward to the lively day... Christmas arrived, and the festive atmosphere could be seen everywhere.
Su Yi invited all the Hong Yan he could to gather together.
The Villa instantly became much livelier.
The only regret was that it didn't snow.
If snowflakes were falling, the holiday would be even more perfect.
Just as Su Yi thought this, snowflakes really began to fall from the gloomy sky.
Although not large, at least it was snowing.
"It's snowing!"
Su Yi's single sentence also attracted the attention of many beauties.
"Su, do you like snow too?"
"Of course."
The beauties were also quite happy watching the falling snow.
It was Christmas, a major holiday, and it was snowing, so of course, they were even happier.
The beauties had just learned to play mahjong and weren't very familiar with it yet, but playing together was always fun.
Skye, on the other hand, was playing games with Jessica, much more cheerful.
Peter was originally at home celebrating Christmas with Mei, but suddenly, he heard news of Bandits, so he eagerly put on his new suit and slipped out the window.
Peter couldn't help but exclaim, "Today is Christmas, do these bad guys really not rest?"
"Even if you don't rest, I want to have a good Christmas."
Peter appeared and began to help the Law enforcersapprehend the Bandits.
Catching people was originally relatively simple, but with the snow falling, the situation became slippery.
These desperate criminals were truly driving around recklessly as if they didn't care about their lives.
There was no other way; to ensure the safety of pedestrians, Peter spent some extra time.
After being busy for a long time, Peter finally caught these Bandits.
"Thank you, Spider-Man!"
"You're welcome, everyone. I wish you a Merry Christmas, your good neighbor Spider-Man sends his sincerest blessings."
Peter was about to leave, swinging on his web.
In a corner of the street, a small, thin figure, wrapped in a worn single garment and newspapers, watched Peter's departing figure, extremely happy.
"Spider-Man, he caught another bad guy."
After seeing Spider-Man leave, Lia dragged her body back into the alley, returning to a makeshift shelter she had built.
Newspapers about Spider-Man were everywhere here.
Lia never imagined that she could personally witness her idol fighting bad guys.
This was Christmas.
Being able to see Spider-Man was the best Christmas gift.
Lia took a few newspapers, returned to her small den, and covered herself with the newspapers.
Curling up and shivering, yet still smiling, she fell into a dream.
In her dream, Spider-Man landed in front of her and took her away.
He carried her through skyscrapers with his webs, and she, like a Superhero, was able to help others.
Such an experience was nothing short of a miracle for her.
Facts also proved that such an experience could only occur in dreams.
In fact, not entirely.
Peter had just left when he suddenly noticed something and turned back.
Passing by the alley, he noticed Lia.
Peter bent down and saw Lia, shivering but beaming with a smile, and his heart felt as if it had been sharply pierced by something.
Especially since the girl was using his newspapers, which made Peter even more uncomfortable.
Peter looked at the girl's condition and knew that her situation was very bad.
He could only quickly carry the girl on his back and take her to the Doctor.
It was then that Peter realized that he, as a Superhero, could do so much more.
Fighting Bandits was only one part of it.
He could also help people like Lia.
Soon, Peter sent the person to the hospital.
After a simple diagnosis, a conclusion was given.
"Her condition is very bad; she can no longer be saved."
Peter fell into deep self-blame, "If I had found her earlier."
The Doctor also sighed, "It's not your fault, Spider-Man."
Peter looked at the fading life and immediately thought of someone.
If anyone could still save her, it could only be him.
Peter immediately contacted Su Yi, "I need you to help me save someone."
Su Yi instantly became nervous.
Today was Christmas, and Su Yi knew Peter should be celebrating with Mei.
With Peter's tone, could it be that something happened to Mei?
"What happened?"
"I rescued a little girl by the roadside, but she's dying."
Su Yi did not refuse.
This wasn't a savior complex, but the empathy a person should have.
If Peter and Su Yi could stand by and do nothing, they wouldn't be Superheroes.
"Where are you?"
"I'm at the hospital..."
"I'll be there right away."
After borrowing Talismans from Natasha, Su Yi teleported to the hospital and quickly found the ward.
Su Yi saw Peter's lost and helpless appearance, patted Peter's shoulder, "You've already done very well."
Su Yi looked at the little girl on the hospital bed, inevitably feeling a bit sad.
So young, having experienced so much hardship.
Su Yi wasn't sure if the other party could hear him, but he still gently comforted, "Don't be afraid, we will save you."
The energy of the Talismans flowed into the girl's body and began to take effect.
However, this was not enough.
Su Yi was a little surprised; the power of the Talismans had actually failed, which was the first time.
Su Yi quickly understood; it was because of life.
To save her, life energy was necessary.
Daisy was still playing mahjong and couldn't make it.
Since that was the case, he could only take the person away.
"Her condition is very serious; I need to take her home for treatment."
When Peter heard Su Yi say this, he instantly became nervous, "You can't do anything either?"
"I have a way, which is why I must take her back."
"Come to my house to find me, I guarantee you'll see a living little girl."
Su Yi took Lia back to the Villa and immediately invited Daisy to help.
Under Su Yi's guidance, Daisy began the treatment.
Indeed, with the life energy input by Daisy, under the effect of the Talismans, it began to show results.
Life energy integrated into the body, and the Talismansalso began to heal.
Su Yi originally thought it would be very simple, a few minutes, at most ten minutes, would be enough.
In the end, it lasted for half an hour before the treatment concluded.
When Peter arrived, the treatment was nearing its end.
"Phew, the treatment is over, she has recovered."
Peter could also feel the little girl's steady breathing, and his hanging heart finally settled down.
"Thank you, Su!"
"No, you should thank Peter. You found her and saved her."
"I couldn't do anything!"
"How can that be? You took her to the hospital, called me, and you've already done everything you could. Do you want to be God?"
After Su Yi's guidance, Peter finally understood.
Just then, Lia opened her eyes.
Feeling the warmth around her and seeing the large group of people, "Who are you? Where am I? Am I dreaming?"
"Spider-Man saved you."
Peter had to reveal his identity to gain Lia's trust.
"Spider-Man, it's really you."
"I know, this must be a dream."
Peter said, "Whether it's a dream or not, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Spider-Man Peter Parker."
"My name is Lia!"
Su Yi said with a smile, "Skye, take Lia to wash up, and we'll celebrate Christmas together."
[Note: Lia, from the comic "Spider-Man: The Light of Life."
A very good short story I saw from Lorre.
It's Christmas, so I added her!]
Chapter 288: Settling Lia
Lia stayed and had an unforgettable Christmas.
Su Yi was also pondering a question: how to settle Lia.
Such a homeless little girl, with nowhere to go.
The simplest way was to send her to an orphanage.
After that, Su Yi wouldn't have to worry.
Su Yi thought about it and decided it would be best for someone to adopt her.
He had many female confidantes, but almost none were suitable to adopt Lia.
Vanessa taking in Jessica was also because Jessica was older.
If Vanessa had to take care of such a small girl, Vanessaprobably wouldn't be able to handle it.
After much thought, Su Yi remembered someone: Mei.
Mei raised Peter alone, so her ability to care for children must be strong.
If she was willing to take care of Lia, it would definitely be very good.
However, there was also a problem: Mei was quite busy.
Besides work, Mei often performed acts of kindness.
Su Yi wasn't sure if Mei would have time to care for Lia.
Su Yi decided to discuss it with Mei then make a decision.
The next day, Su Yi went to find Mei early in the morning.
Besides their usual meeting, Su Yi also planned to bring up this matter.
"Mei, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"Yesterday, I found a homeless little girl. She has nowhere to go and no one to care for her. I originally wanted to send her to an orphanage, but she seemed very resistant to it."
Mei understood Su Yi's intention, "You want me to adopt her?"
"Yes, that's right."
After admitting it, Su Yi continued, "Among the people I know, you're probably the only one capable of taking good care of her."
Mei was a kind person, and hearing about the little girl's plight made her feel very sympathetic.
She was very young and energetic, so taking care of a little girl wouldn't be much trouble.
Moreover, Peter was grown up, and she had a lot of free time.
If there was one more person in the house, it would be much livelier.
"I don't mind, but I must discuss it with Peter."
"Of course!"
As Su Yi and Mei were chatting, Peter happened to come downstairs.
"Good morning, Su!"
Mei quickly called out to Peter, "Peter, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"Can you accept having another child in the house, meaning you'll have a younger sister!"
Peter's eyes widened as he stared at Su Yi.
Su Yi quickly explained, "I found a homeless little girl and want Mei to help take care of her."
Only after Su Yi said this did Peter realize that Su Yi and Mei were talking about Lia, not what he had imagined.
Lia moving into their house seemed acceptable.
However, there was also a big problem.
This Lia knew his identity as Spider-Man.
"Aunt Mei, what do you think?"
"I've already agreed, but I need to get your opinion."
Peter recalled yesterday's experience and, without much hesitation, readily gave his answer, "I have no objections either!"
Mei was somewhat surprised, "Peter, you don't have to decide so quickly."
"I think your decision, Aunt Mei, is the right one, so I absolutely support you."
"Thank you, Peter!"
Su Yi had expected some trouble, but now it seemed everything was progressing smoothly.
Mei and Peter both agreed, and Lia, knowing she would be living at Spider-Man's house, naturally wouldn't refuse.
After all, Spider-Man was her idol.
With both sides having agreed, Su Yi had someone bring Lia over, and then they would go through the formalities, and everything would be settled.
Su Yi accompanied Mei through some procedures, and finally, the matter was resolved.
From now on, Lia would be called Lia Parker, considered Peter's younger sister.
For this, Mei even prepared a lavish dinner to welcome Lia's arrival.
Su Yi was also invited to stay and enjoy dinner together.
After dinner, Peter found Lia and whispered a few words to her.
"Lia, you should know my identity, but Aunt Mei doesn't know I'm Spider-Man."
"So, to keep Aunt Mei from worrying, you must help me keep this secret."
Lia nodded, answering with unwavering determination, "I will definitely keep the secret."
The two got along very well, and Mei was much relieved.
She had worried that Peter might mind, and that the little girl might take longer to integrate.
Now it seemed Lia was very well-behaved and got along well with Peter... Lia's appearance was just a small interlude, and now that Lia was settled, it was temporarily concluded.
However, to Su Yi's surprise, helping such a homeless little girl also brought unexpected rewards.
Destiny points, and a special item: the Elsa character template.
Elsa, the ice princess with magic.
Merging the character template would grant Elsa's magic.
This template was useless to Su Yi, but it was a good choice for his female confidantes.
Su Yi decided to carefully consider who to give this character template to.
Lia settled into Mei's house, and Su Yi also stayed for a night.
This Christmas held great significance for Peter and Lia.
Su Yi hadn't even had a moment to himself when Tonyfound him.
"Hey, Su, Merry Christmas!"
"Tony, Merry Christmas. Is something wrong?"
Tony was completely open, stating his intentions.
"My Villa was destroyed, so besides looking for a new place to live, I'm also planning to gradually build an Avengers Base. I thought you might be able to give me some advice."
"Avengers Base?"
"Yes!"
In the movie, after The Avengers 1, Stark Tower was damaged.
After Tony rebuilt it, he simply converted it into an Avengers Base.
Later, it moved to a new location.
Now it seemed Tony intended to directly find a place to build an Avengers Base.
"Good plan, I'll be right there to help you take a look."
Su Yi went directly to Stark Industries, ready to see Tony's plans.
Who knew, as soon as he arrived, he heard Pepper and Tony arguing.
Su Yi quickly intervened to calm them, "Pepper, what's wrong?"
Pepper was furious and directly complained about Tony, "He plans to spend a large sum of money to build an Avengers Base."
Tony defended himself, "What's wrong with me spending some money?"
Pepper continued to complain, "Currently, the company is indeed stable. However, such a large sum of money will severely impact the company's operations."
Tony was a bit helpless; his former little secretary was now the CEO of Stark Industries and no longer obeyed his every command.
"I'm not taking all that money at once."
Su Yi patiently persuaded Pepper, and only then was the matter settled.
Tony then happily told Su Yi about his plans for the Avengers Base.
Su Yi understood, and he also knew one thing: building such a Base would cost a lot of money.
However, for Tony, that amount of money was nothing.
Chapter 289 Hope's Invitation
Tony is still planning, and the real work won't start until next year.
After Christmas, Su Yi had one more thing to attend to: his studies.
It was already the end of the semester.
With Su Yi's level of knowledge, the final exams were naturally a breeze.
In the blink of an eye, the holidays were approaching. Surely no Villains would appear during this break, right?
Su Yi was really looking forward to the holidays. Although he had no specific plans, he knew it wouldn't be boring.
Days passed, and the holidays finally arrived as scheduled.
However, Su Yi received a call from Hope.
After rescuing Janet from the Quantum Realm and Su Yihealing Ava, the Ghost, Su Yi and Hope's contact had lessened.
He wondered why Hope was contacting him now.
Su Yi still agreed and went to meet her.
Upon arriving at the Villa, Su Yi saw Hope.
To Su Yi's surprise, it seemed Hope was the only one in the Villa.
"Long time no see, Hope!"
Hope glanced at Su Yi. "If I hadn't taken the initiative to ask you out, you probably would have forgotten about me, wouldn't you?"
"How could I? It's just been a bit busy lately. You know, the explosion that happened not long ago, and Christmas."
Hope heard Su Yi's explanation and didn't press further. "I can see you've been really busy."
Su Yi looked around. "It seems Dr. Pym and Mrs. Janetaren't here."
Hope brought him a cup of coffee. "They went on vacation to the southern coast after Christmas."
Su Yi wasn't surprised, but he wondered if Hope inviting him at this time was like 'leading a wolf into the house'.
"Oh, I wish them a wonderful holiday."
Hope casually replied, "I'll pass on your well wishes."
"So, beautiful Ms. Hope, what exactly did you invite me here for? It can't just be to simply invite me for coffee, can it?"
"Why not?"
"Of course, but just drinking coffee would be too dull."
Su Yi teased Hope, making her heart flutter.
As Dr. Pym's daughter, Hope had very high standards, and therefore, she had never been in a relationship.
Now, she met Su Yi.
In terms of knowledge, Su Yi was in no way inferior to her.
In terms of combat, he was far stronger than her.
So, even after Hope learned about Su Yi's situation, she still chose to actively invite him out.
After all, finding a man as excellent as Su Yi, one who could catch her eye, was not an easy task.
Hope's active invitation to Su Yi this time was to deepen their relationship.
Hope took out the Ant-Man Suit, threw it to Su Yi, and said, "Train with me for a bit."
Su Yi looked at the Suit. "Alright."
Soon, Su Yi put on the Suit, and Hope also put on her Wasp Suit.
Su Yi looked at Hope curiously. "So, what should we do next?"
"Follow me."
Hope led Su Yi to the training room.
Su Yi looked at the room before him, observed it briefly, and realized that the setup here was not simple.
The entire room had been transformed into a mini training room.
Su Yi was a bit surprised; in the movies, there didn't seem to be such a training room.
Hope and Dr. Pym had trained Scott on outdoor lawns.
"Training begins. Time to shrink."
Hope immediately shrank, becoming as small as a mosquito.
Su Yi could only follow suit, instantly shrinking to the size of an ant.
Hope took the lead, rushing out and beginning her training.
Su Yi followed closely, tracking Hope's movements and starting his training.
This training primarily focused on agility while in a shrunken state.
It even included numerous traps.
Even when shrunk, Su Yi's abilities were unaffected.
Such training obstacles posed no challenge to Su Yi.
Soon, Hope completed her training.
Finally, she passed through a tiny hole and returned to her normal size.
Su Yi also successfully completed the training and returned to his normal size.
"Is this your training method?"
"That's right."
"Quite interesting."
Hope looked at Su Yi. "Do you know martial arts?"
Su Yi's combat had always been about overwhelming power and abilities; martial arts were basically useless.
To say whether he knew them or not, he certainly did, as the first template Su Yi merged with was Batman's.
Batman's fighting skills were at a top-tier level.
"A little!"
"Train with me for a bit!"
Su Yi wasn't sure what Hope meant, but since a beautiful woman was asking, he couldn't refuse.
They went to the gym, where there were punching bags, indicating that Hope trained her martial arts here.
Hope changed into a different outfit. Su Yi hadn't brought any clothes, so he couldn't change.
The two began their training!
It was called training, but in reality, Su Yi was assisting Hope, acting as a target.
Hope's martial arts were quite good, and it seemed she had undergone long-term training.
"Come on, Su, stop being just a target. Spar with me a bit."
"Are you sure?"
"Just a friendly exchange of moves."
"OK!"
Su Yi suddenly thought of the famous scene in the movie, where Natasha, disguised, entered Stark Industries and easily took down the seemingly strong Happy.
Hope was very aggressive, launching an attack directly.
Su Yi's defense was watertight, easily fending off her attacks.
Hope tried several times but couldn't defeat Su Yi.
Su Yi took the opportunity to grab Hope and pull her into his arms. "It seems you can't defeat me."
Hope's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and she tried to perform an over-the-shoulder throw, seizing the chance.
However, she found Su Yi completely motionless.
Only then did Hope realize the vast difference between them.
Su Yi also saw Hope's helplessness, and finally, he simply let Hope throw him.
Hope even took the opportunity to lock Su Yi in a hold.
"Alright, you win, Hope."
Hope released Su Yi, but then suddenly pressed him down with her body.
This wasn't some 'locking' move; it was more like an interaction between lovers.
"Why did you let me throw you?"
"We agreed to only spar in martial arts techniques."
Hope smiled, surprised that Su Yi knew how to use this trick to please her.
Su Yi, taking advantage of Hope's relaxation, reversed the situation, forcefully pinned Hope down, and locked her hands.
Seeing Hope's unconvinced expression, Su Yi smirked, "Now, I win."
Hope tried to struggle, but she couldn't break free at all. She could only admit, "Alright, you win."
Su Yi then took the opportunity to kiss her. "This is my reward for winning."
Hope didn't resist; instead, she was very cooperative.
She wrapped her arms around Su Yi's neck. "Is this what you wanted? I thought there would be more."
"Of course."
Su Yi understood Hope's unspoken meaning and immediately picked her up in a bridal carry, leaving the gym... Before Scott even appeared, Su Yi successfully 'intercepted' Hope, and successfully changed the fate of another character!
Everything happened so naturally, like Water flowing into a channel.
Chapter 290 Riven's Discovery
Su Yi gained another Hong Yan and an additional responsibility.
Su Yi also estimated that once he had Clarice and Lornasettled, he could calm down.
Two days later, Su Yi returned to the Mutant Academy, preparing to pursue the two Mutant beauties.
Currently, the situation for Mutants was steadily improving.
With Beast Hank in politics, he spoke extensively on behalf of Mutants and secured some corresponding rights for them.
However, in some remote areas, Mutants had recently been mysteriously disappearing again.
Among these disappeared Mutants were also acquaintances of Mystique.
Since the Mutant Prison incident, Mystique had quietly left and hidden her tracks.
For a Mutant who could change her appearance, hiding herself was a simple matter.
Raven knew that the hatred between her and ordinary humans ran too deep; even if Mutants could truly live peacefully with ordinary humans in the future, she would definitely be held accountable.
So, rather than being held accountable, it was better to hide and continue living freely.
Raven had always been adept at such things.
However, Raven, who was enjoying her freedom, suddenly received a distress message.
The message came from a Mutant Raven knew, with whom she had a decent relationship.
But now Magneto was imprisoned, and Stryker was dead.
The Mutant Academy and Hank had stepped forward, making things better and better for Mutants, yet at this time, her friend had gotten into trouble.
Raven couldn't understand what had happened.
She could only rush over to investigate what had occurred.
After several twists and turns, Raven found no results from her investigation.
Raven was very helpless, but she wouldn't give up until she found out the truth.
To investigate this matter, she didn't even have a good Christmas.
On Christmas Eve, Raven went to a local bar, intending to soak in the festive atmosphere.
Raven drank wine while analyzing the current situation.
Having experienced so many things, this current situation made Raven vaguely feel that something was amiss.
Could it be that someone was plotting against Mutants again?
She also noticed that there were still many people online who opposed Mutants.
There was even an extremist organization, the Anti-MutantAssociation.
The goal of this association was to completely eliminate Mutants.
However, this association should consist entirely of ordinary humans.
It would be more difficult for ordinary humans to deal with Mutants.
Raven naturally considered the Anti-Mutant Association as the primary suspect.
But she hadn't found this organization to be very active in the vicinity.
Other than that, Raven couldn't figure out which other force might be targeting Mutants.
Helpless, Raven could only proceed with her investigation slowly.
On her way out, Raven unexpectedly made a discovery.
As Raven was leaving, she saw that a car ahead suddenly crashed.
This was no ordinary car accident, as the car had collided with a robot that had fallen from the sky.
Raven slammed on the brakes, observing the situation ahead.
This robot looked incredibly familiar to Raven.
"Sentinel Robot!"
Raven was incredibly surprised; Stryker was already dead, so how could there still be Sentinel Robots?
Raven immediately understood that the disappeared Mutants were very likely the work of the Sentinel Robots.
Regardless of where this Sentinel Robot came from, Ravenknew that the person behind it was definitely targeting Mutants.
Indeed, from the vehicle ahead, a Mutant was pulled out and easily subdued.
Raven knew she was no match and quickly drove away.
Sentinel Robots could detect Mutant genes within people nearby, so the moment Raven fled, she was detected.
"There's another one!"
The Sentinel Robot immediately began pursuit, and Raven, being experienced, instantly thought of an escape method: entering the subway.
After several twists and turns, Raven shook off the Sentinel Robot's pursuit.
Once safe, Raven knew the matter was serious and she had to ask for help.
Raven immediately thought of Professor X; now, only he could confront the Sentinel Robots.
If they didn't act quickly, more Mutants would likely be harmed.
Raven rushed back without stopping and arrived at the Mutant Academy.
Raven appeared at the academy gate and directly stated her identity.
Professor X naturally wouldn't refuse Raven and chose to welcome her arrival.
"Raven, welcome back!"
Raven, however, didn't look pleased, "Charles, we're in trouble!"
Professor X knew that when Raven said "we," she referred to all Mutants.
He was therefore extremely puzzled.
The current situation for Mutants was quite good, even though some people still continued to oppose them.
But at least, the authorities acknowledged the existence of Mutants.
This way, nothing major should happen.
"What happened?"
"Sentinel Robots are capturing Mutants. Although we don't know who is behind it, Sentinel Robots are definitely the nightmare of our Mutants."
Sentinel Robots were indeed incredibly powerful.
The current Sentinel Robots were not yet perfect; if they could capture Raven and obtain her genes, then Sentinel Robots would become the natural enemy of Mutants.
"But Stryker is already dead, so who could be capturing Mutants?"
"I don't know, so I came to seek your help, Charles."
Professor X did not refuse, because this matter was about protecting Mutants, not worsening the relationship between Mutants and ordinary humans.
"I will help. Now, please come with me first."
On the way, Raven continued with her speculation, "I suspect the Anti-Mutant Association is behind this. Someone among them must have obtained research on Sentinel Robots."
"So, they plan to use Sentinel Robots to exterminate all Mutants."
Professor X had also heard of this organization; it was indeed a troublesome matter.
However, being able to obtain the research data for Sentinel Robots was definitely not simple.
Back at the castle, Professor X immediately notified Storm, "Ororo, go call Scott and Logan to come for a meeting."
"Oh, and call Mr. Su over as well."
"Yes, Professor."
Raven was somewhat surprised, "Is he here too?"
"He just happened to come today to visit Jean."
Professor X, of course, knew that Su Yi was flirting under his nose, but he was helpless.
These were Jean and Anna's own choices, and he couldn't stop them.
Soon, everyone gathered. Su Yi, having been disturbed, was still a bit unhappy.
However, when he saw Mystique Raven appear and Professor calling other X-Men for a meeting, he knew things were not simple.
After everyone had arrived, Raven began to recount her ordeal.
The other Mutants were incredibly angry upon hearing this news.
"Who exactly is capturing Mutants?"
Logan, chewing on a cigar, said, "The bastards capturing Mutants? I'd like to see if my claws can shred this robot."
Su Yi was a bit annoyed; Stryker truly couldn't let people rest even after his death.
However, Su Yi also wasn't sure who was capturing Mutants.
No matter who it was, these Sentinel Robots must not be allowed to remain.
Su Yi was confident in dealing with Sentinel Robots, but once their numbers became too great, major problems would inevitably arise.
One must know that the thing Mutants loved to do most was to reset the timeline.
Su Yi didn't want to be affected!
"If needed, I will help you."
