Chapter 320 "The Prophet"
"The source of the isotopic energy of the 'Ark', the engine and core components cast with vibration gold"
Tony Stark folded his hands on his shoulders, trying to maintain a resentful look of being forcibly taken away, but he still couldn't help but look around at this small spaceship that the Howlett Group does not sell to the outside world, silently saying whispered.
Before he could experience the powerful braking of the spaceship, through the hanging window on his side, a vast continent covered in endless ice and snow filled Mr. Stark's sight.
Tony thought of a place that had been passed down in the upper class of human society and the superhuman realm for many years. It was a forbidden city in this world, a city that had never been set foot by anyone who was not from the power of the Howlett family.
It is more secretive and terrifying than the mysterious prison "Wolf Tower" where super criminals are held. It is the "capital" of the "Wolf Emperor".
Arriving at the sky above the wasteland at the "Wolf's Nest" base, Laura suddenly remembered something and turned around to look. Tony, who was honestly wearing a seat belt, was not tied up. Looking at him, he hurriedly opened his hands and said:
"My geography is not good, so fast, I can't tell where this is!"
Laura stared suspiciously at Tony, wondering what she was thinking, and after a while, she tilted her head as if giving up and said casually to Storm: "Just send the signal to stop, don't pay attention to him, anyway, I will check this guy's memory in a while."
Tony Stark: ".Thanks, Shet"
Wolf's Nest, covered under the Greenland ice sheet continent, not only cannot be found through the observation of visual images, but even isolates and shields all kinds of existing human detection technology. Just like "Bermuda", it has long become a kind of urban legend.
All organizations in the Extraordinary World are well aware that Greenland, the largest island on earth, is the private domain of the Howlett family, but the location of the wolf lair and the real situation inside have always been an unsolved mystery.
Tony Stark, who had a rare opportunity to "tour" this dungeon, looked like a farm boy who entered the city for the first time. The Rubik's Cube's energy is endlessly supplying the daily operation of the wolf's nest base, and a large amount of vibration gold ore is transported Passages were dug out continuously.
In the spaceship berthing area like a stadium for ten thousand people, the "Sirius" that once appeared in the eyes of the world stands out, and Storm's private shuttle is like a newly hatched chicken beside it.
Tony walked between the two ladies, passing through training grounds, experimental areas, and even streets for leisure life. Finally, at the end of this underground city, he saw a silver-gray steel wolf head.
The flickering wolf's mouth is waiting to swallow Tony's rather tall body. Inside is a giant palace with ice-blue light paths.
The main hall looks like a relic lost in the ancient war of gods. The ground, walls, and even the dome are like half-finished molten weapons. The throne on the upper platform of the palace is vacant, and a white robed figure with blond hair is sitting upright. On a high-backed stone chair on the side.
"Mother." "Mrs."
After Laura and Orolo saluted the White Queen above, the young Mr. Stark also confirmed the identity of this queen-like glamorous woman.
On the contrary, the dull man finally came to his senses, staring straight at Laura's slender black-haired back and said in a hoarse voice:
"You are the daughter of James Howlett!"
"My husband's name, you'd better speak carefully. Stark boy, how is your father?"
Emma's cold voice reverberated in the hall like bells ringing at night. She folded a pair of long, firm and slender legs, which were dazzlingly white.
"Ahem, Mrs. Howlett, your daughter forced me here for no reason. Even if old Stark is in good health, he will be **** off by your domineering behavior."
Tony put his hands in his pockets and looked up with his neck uncomfortable. It was hard to say whether being kidnapped by two beauties with unique looks was a bad thing.
But he has always been very high-spirited, especially not used to mutant groups gaining powerful talents through mutation, and the idea of a rudimentary form in his heart became more and more intense, and he continued with undiminished arrogance:
“.I know that the isotope atoms of the Ark Reactor are analyzed from the Howlett Group’s ‘Rubik’s Cube’ energy source, but you don’t want to use this to take away my technology!”
"Well, your kid's personality is very similar to Howard's. Don't worry, he won't mind you visiting the wolf's den."
The White Queen called an adult a "child" when she saw that she was not a few years older than her daughter Laura, which made Tony feel even more weird. He kept thinking about the whole story in his mind, his brows were frowned, but he still didn't have the slightest clue.
"...Laura, tell me, what the **** are you doing?"
Emma looked at her daughter who had really grown up. In the past six months since James disappeared, Laura has actually grown a lot, and she is no longer the aggressive girl who shouted every day.
But today I suddenly sent a message saying that I had something important to see me, but in the end I snatched a man back.
"Mom, do you remember Dad's notebook, it says Huaxia—"
Hum!
The White Queen suddenly raised her hand and pointed her finger, and Tony Stark, who had pricked up his ears and was very interested, was fixed in place like a log, still maintaining a slightly sideways listening posture, but his eyes were already dull and lifeless.
"Madam, I'll wait for Laura outside first, and I'll talk to you later."
"Storm" keenly realized that the following topic would be related to Mr. Howlett, so she took the initiative to leave politely, but saw the White Queen pressed Ya Su's hand, got up and walked down.
"It's okay Orolo, you are also the child I watched growing up, there is nothing you can't hear, Laura, tell me."
Emma gently caressed Orolo's cheek, and turned to look at her daughter with serious eyes, with a very serious expression.
"I secretly flipped through that booklet when I was a child, and there were many short and unsentence words in it. Fortunately, my father has always asked me to learn Chinese, and I can understand almost everything in it."
"...Zhenjin, Wakanda, Captain America, Rubik's Cube, Thor, Asgard... These contents all appeared in that booklet, and all the words in it are things we have already contacted or known, and only two are left. indivual."
Laura took a deep look at Tony, whose spirit, body and all sensory perceptions were fixed, and said in an extremely clear and cold voice:
The White Queen knew very well how important that old notebook, which had been preserved for at least a century, was to James.
Too many times she touched the empty bed in the middle of the night, and when she came to the study room filled with cigar smoke, she saw her husband staring silently with the handwriting in his hand.
Emma never took the initiative to ask James what was written in it. Although he didn't specifically ask him to explain it, and sometimes left the note on the table, the White Queen didn't take advantage of him to look through it without authorization.
Having been together for more than half a century, the trust and dependence between her and her husband is still full of a sense of security, just like the first time he practiced the "evolution technique" when he was young, he lost control of his meditation and poured all the violent spiritual power into James's mind.
Not only the White Queen, but Orolo Monroe, who was listening quietly from the sidelines, also keenly realized that the contents recorded in the mysterious booklet coincided with the development of the Howlett family and the emergence of many important events.
The point is. Whether these familiar words were recorded before or after the event happened.
Laura grabbed her mother's hands and continued to speak eagerly:
"Regardless of why Dad recorded these things, it turns out that they have important meanings. I don't know what 'thanos' means, people's names, place names? Objects? But Tony Stark must be right! He may even have a relationship with the old man. Dad's disappearance is connected!"
"Laura, do you want Mommy to search his memory?"
Facing her daughter's expectant gaze, the White Queen firmly shook her head, pulled out her palm and patted the back of Laura's hand lightly, and asked softly:
"Think about it carefully, how many of the things recorded in that book can be said to be our enemies?"
After hearing this, the little wolf girl's eyebrows froze. She thought carefully about some of the words she still remembered. Some were important materials for the development and growth of the family and group, and some were companions or elders around her today.
If it is a person or thing that is negatively opposed to his father James, there are only Thor and the Asgardian gods.
"Regardless of whether James has powers that we don't know, maybe he can really know some things that will happen in the future through the long river of time. Although too many accidents have happened in these years, I don't think he can predict the prophets, but even This is real"
“. If the young Mr. Stark is something that your father may value, and even become one of us, then it is not advisable to interfere with his memory, spirit, or even any personal freedom.”
While talking, Emma folded her hands in front of her body and stared at Tony, whose eyes were wide open and motionless. She also developed a different kind of curiosity about this young man who was not yet thirty years old.
"Laura, you don't have to worry too much about Mr. Howlett. The Asgardians said that he will be swallowed by some kind of flame and die. No mutant will believe such stupid words. The 'Wolf Emperor' is immortal. This is our Belief."
Storm made a sound to comfort Laura at the right time, and the little wolf girl who had been silent for a long time raised her head and chuckled, nodded quietly, tilted her head and looked at Tony helplessly, and twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.
"Mom~ what should I do with this guy, I'll knock him out and throw him back."
The White Queen glared at Laura angrily. She looked handsome, but Tony, who was still a little green between his brows, muttered: "So... you will become 'Iron Man'? Interesting nickname, Hehe, maybe it's an unawakened mutant."
—
In the solemn and spacious battle hall of the Sanctuary, James sat with his knees crossed on a black half stone platform. He had already sensed the tremors approaching step by step from outside the hall, and he did not salute solemnly like the members of the Dark Order. , still sitting firmly with his back turned.
"Their combat skills have improved by leaps and bounds, you are very talented in teaching students."
Whether it's footsteps or voice, Thanos is full of the calm and oppressive sense of majestic mountains and solid land. He holds a blood-stained double-headed knife in one hand, wipes it carefully with a towel, and looks not far away. Gamora and Xingyun once again practiced duels, and nodded slightly, which was rare.
"I have taught some children in my hometown how to fight. I can't teach them much. Physical transformation of the body is a very common way to improve strength in the universe, but it is not suitable for my path, especially Nebula. It was too hard to be tossed."
While talking, James didn't look at the "Mad Titan", but still observed Gamora and Nebula's intertwined figures. His attitude of almost putting himself and Thanos on an equal footing made Hei Yao four Will be very dissatisfied, but with the tacit consent of the master, there is nowhere to break out.
Thanos is an interesting guy.
This is the most intuitive feeling that James had after he had real contact with the enemy he had been waiting for all his life.
"I originally wanted to make some changes to Nebula's brain so that her combat awareness would be sharper. Maybe I can wait for a while to see."
Hum!
Thanos raised his hand and swung the chopping knife, and pulled out a viscous sound wave in the air, which landed on the stone knife rest beside the battle hall. He raised his hand and took off his helmet, and then removed the dark golden flat shoulder armor, Wearing a blue and gold sleeveless light armor, he squeezed his wrist and said in a deep voice:
"Retire first."
Gamora's long sword just stopped at Xingyun's neck, and the short knife in Xingyun's hand pressed against his abdomen. The two slowly backed away from each other, and quickly left the hall after saluting at the tyrant.
"Mr. Logan, fighting the Chitauri makes me feel boring. There are no outstanding characters among these fighters who are only suitable as cannon fodder."
Thanos stood in front of James and clenched his fists, the fighting spirit in his eyes was self-evident.
Shua!
Jumping up from the stone platform, his body trembled violently, and there was a thunderous roar for a moment. James held his hand loosely, but Thanos, who was half tall and strong, stood up very seriously. With both arms, the posture is a bit like boxing.
The two rushed towards each other almost at the same time. Thanos's fist was so clever that it went straight, but it sealed the hole that James could dodge for a moment.
The wind pressure of the fist swelled James' long black and white hair, and his hands suddenly turned like fists into palms. The purple fists that were stuck to the bowl did not resist hard, but instead used their strength to throw their backs, and wiped out like a little giant. The bully flew out.
Twisting his body in mid-air and turning to the ground, Thanos felt even more excited by the feeling of the lack of force from his fist just now. Although he had carefully controlled and suppressed his strength, James' "fragile" body should also be smashed by a punch All bones are right.
For this human being with mysterious origin and unparalleled combat skills, the titan overlord who roams the universe appreciates him even more.
With a little bit of strength, the purple figure swung his fists down again, and the two shuttled back and forth in the empty hall with fists to flesh, like a pair of old friends who have had a tacit understanding for many years.
