The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 42 Whose World?

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters in New York, Nick is having a splitting headache right now, too much weird information is coming one after another, he knows who did it, but he doesn't know the details, and he has to wipe their ass, this feeling is very uncomfortable good.

"Sir, I think you need to see this."

"Oh! Fuck! Phil, don't tell me it's them again!"

Colson received a "head-on blow" as soon as he entered the door. Colson could guarantee that if he didn't turn on the lights at night, he would never see Nick there.

Although Coulson didn't want to provoke his chief anymore, he had no choice but to nod.

"Shet! How much is this!? Look! The paper documents on the table, the messages in my terminal, all belong to them! What happened to this world?" Nick complained.

Coulson is also quite helpless. I don't know what's going on. Since last month, the actions of Steve and others have been observed frequently. This has never happened before. Nick and Coulson are the most familiar An outsider of Adam's family, so he still knows some things.

But out of understanding and trust in Adam's family, he didn't take care of it, and the other party solved it every time without anyone noticing, without leaving any evidence, which also made Nick feel relieved.

But it is different now, there is no way to cover up so many pieces of information.

"Phil, let's take a trip to Los Angeles." Nick said.

"Okay, sir, I'll arrange it right away." Coulson also agreed with Nick's suggestion, rather than pondering over it here, it's better to ask them directly.

"By the way, call Natasha and Barton."

"With all due respect, sir, although Natasha and Barton are excellent, I don't think they can play any role." Coulson persuaded.

"Where did you go? I just took them to visit." Nick knew that Coulson had misunderstood his plan and explained.

"Without Hill?" Coulson also understood Nick's thoughts, and instead asked Hill Maria, Nick's adjutant, she was the person Nick trusted the most.

"If Hill goes with us, then we really can't hide our whereabouts. Let's do it next time." Nick said.

"Okay, sir."

……

On the other side, Adam was sitting at the main seat of the house with a serious face, while Steve and the others were all present and sat on both sides.

"Dad, the recent situation is not right, the frequency of power fragments appearing in various places has increased sharply." Steve said.

"That's right, uncle, even with Tony and Diarmuid joining us, we won't be able to keep up." Bucky looked confused.

"According to the data, the energy contained in the power fragments is also much stronger than what appeared before." Howard said.

"Adam, what should we do now? It has attracted the attention of major organizations, and we were even late a few times, and our things were snatched away." Peggy was a little anxious. The energy and specificity contained in it are still very powerful. For better or worse, all major organizations are jealous of this mysterious power.

And the worst thing was that while Steve and the others were running around, they were still noticed by some organizations, and they had already attracted a lot of attention, which was a huge trouble for them.

"This is not a problem. If someone uses power fragments indiscriminately and gets corroded, I will take action myself." Adam said.

"The key is the reason, why the growth is so dramatic this time." Tony asked, and now he has joined the ranks of Steve and others.

The same as the original historical track, Tony still created a steel suit, and it was stronger. In addition to mechanical technology, Tony also added "magic" technology, achieving the combination of technology and magic.

In addition to destroying the power fragments spilled from the Demon God Pillar like Steve and others, he is also fighting terrorists around the world and destroying the previously leaked Stark Industries munitions.

"The gears of fate have started to turn. I can feel it, and the Demon God Pillar can also feel it." Adam explained.

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Adam.

"Fate is a wonderful thing. It is illusory, but it does exist. No matter how you change it, it will move in a general direction. Small things can be changed, but the general trend cannot be changed.

Because of my appearance, all of you present here have more or less been fixed by me on the original trajectory, and you have relatively reduced a lot of trials that you should have, and now, fate is trying to change it back.

Due to the existence of the Demon God Pillar, although it is still in the latent stage, it is enough to affect the judgment of fate, and it can also be regarded as fate being used by the Demon God Pillar.

And this year is also a special year. The disappearance of Tony is a signal that the earth will also be full of disasters. ’ Adam explained.

"Me? Is it a signal?" Tony was depressed. Although he liked the feeling of all the attention, he really didn't want to be a signal.

"So... we will face more and more enemies? More and more powerful?" Steve was very worried, and he was already feeling a bit strenuous now.

"Steve, you should look in a good direction. The current trials are for the more difficult battles in the future." Mordred said.

"But... we are already struggling. Some civilians have been hurt, and we will gradually be exposed in the eyes of the world."

"It is certain that Yu and you are exposed. This is a general trend that cannot be stopped or changed, and...Steve, Bucky, are you a little too arrogant?" Nero seriously taught .

"We didn't..." Steve and Bucky wanted to retort immediately, but Nero interrupted them and continued the lesson.

"You don't think that the Demon God Pillar is the level you are facing now, right? To put it bluntly, with your current ability, you are not qualified to face the Demon God Pillar with me. What you are doing now is not even appetizing. Side dishes are not even counted.”

"how come……"

"What Nero said is true, Steve, Bucky, Tony, from the perspective of this world, you are indeed very powerful and worthy of the title of superheroes, but you have to remember, Demon God Pillar ... is an existence that can destroy the world, even if you are seriously injured, it is not something you can face now.

So far, all you have encountered are power shards, and all you have faced are enemies at the level of miscellaneous soldiers. By then, except for the main body of the Demon God Pillar, these miscellaneous soldiers will be endless. "Adam said with a serious face.

He also discovered that as the number of missions completed increased, Steve and the others became more and more complacent. This is not a good phenomenon. The huge crisis in their eyes is really not an appetizer.

Steve and the others were silent and a little depressed, but mostly they were reflecting.

The world of Adam and the heroic spirits was shattered under the invasion of the Demon God Pillar. They have all seen that scene, and even now sometimes have nightmares.

But they are still arrogant. With the battle, their strength is indeed increasing, but it is more about combat awareness and experience, and the core magic power itself has not increased much.

"Hey, everyone, I think we don't have to be so pessimistic." Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, Howard quickly stepped forward to mediate.

"Howard, did you find anything?" Paige asked.

"There is an old saying in the Celestial Dynasty, which is called "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other". Our enemies are indeed getting more and more powerful, but does this mean that our allies will also become more and more powerful? "

Adam raised his eyebrows. He had to say that Howard was a real genius. Unlike Tony, who only had a high IQ but a shockingly low EQ, Howard had both high IQ and EQ, which he guessed.

"Howard is right, as the number of enemies increases, our allies will also increase. Protecting the world has never been done by two or three people." Adam smiled slightly.

"Look, what am I talking about?"

"Do you know who they are? We can..." Peggy's first thought was to win over them in advance. It is safest to control such talents in her own hands.

But she still ignored a very important factor.

"Calm down Peggy, some things will be self-defeating if you intervene too early, they will appear, but if you intervene in advance, they may miss the most important opportunity to change, they may become heroes, and they may miss the opportunity to become an ordinary person , and it is also possible to fall to our enemies." Adam said.

"Just like me?" Tony immediately understood that Adam was talking about him, and he had such a big change after going through the kidnapping incident.

"Yes."

"Okay, but I still don't like being the "signal"." Tony spread his hands and complained.

"Then we can't do anything? Don't we still have allies? Karma Taj, Asgard." Peggy said.

"They have their own affairs to deal with, unless the main body of the Demon God Pillar comes, they have no time to take care of these trivial matters." Adam said.

"A small matter! You say it's a small matter!? Adam! This is a matter of life and death! You actually call it a small matter!?" Peggy was emotional, slapped the table and stood up and cursed.

"Peggy, calm down!" Steve quickly calmed Peggy and helped her sit down.

"Yes." But Adam's words made all the efforts of Steve and others go to waste, and Peggy was angry again.

"Heh... As expected of the high gods, we are just mortals, it doesn't matter how much we die, right?"

"Peggy! You need to calm down!"

"You've been too nervous recently, Peggy, come on, sit down and drink..."

The others quickly stood up to smooth things over, trying to calm Paige down.

No one blamed her, because Peggy was doing all the intelligence gathering. Her workload was the biggest among all of them, and she hadn't closed her eyes for almost three days.

"Adam...you can solve these things easily, why are you so indifferent and ignore it?" Peggy asked Adam, holding back the anger in her heart.

"I have done everything, can you continue to be babies? Can I protect you for a while, can I protect you forever? Is this my world, or your world?"

She asked three questions in a row, each one impacting Peggy's soul. She knew the answers to these questions, but she was still angry. She wanted to tell Adam that if he could protect the world, what if she was a baby?

But she couldn't say these words. Adam was right. Adam was an outsider, and he was going to leave after all. After seeing so much, Peggy knew how many unknown crises the earth had been facing.

After Adam left, can they really protect the earth?
"Sorry..." Peggy covered her head and apologized to Adam in a low voice.

"It's okay, you've just been too nervous recently, just take a break." Adam didn't care about Peggy's previous gaffe at all.

"I still don't rest. I am alone in charge of intelligence support and collation, but no one will take my shift." Peggy said.

"Someone will help you soon, isn't there?" Adam smiled mysteriously, making everyone stunned.

And at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
