A foreigner's journey

"Perhaps it's because social security has improved and these superheroes are no longer needed frequently?"

Heather blinked and explained for Hell Raven and Ghost Spider.

This is not because he is deliberately excusing himself, but because the number of particularly serious super criminal cases in the world today has dropped significantly.

The existence of the Hero Association has caused more and more superheroes to accept standardized constraints, making superheroes gradually become a new 'legitimate profession'.

At the same time, super criminals have lost human rights protection in more and more Hero Association partner countries, and the land suitable for their activities and survival has become very scarce.

One goes with the other, and for a time the super criminals who were once extremely rampant turned into a rare breed.

In order to prevent superheroes from having nowhere to vent their excessive energy, the Hero Association has established related industries around the world. Movies, TV series, interviews, albums, autobiographies, animations... Superheroes with unique looks and good singing and dancing have embarked on the road to idolization with the help of the Hero Association.

Many superheroes can also apply their extraordinary abilities to benefit mankind under the guidance and introduction of the Hero Association. For example, Storm is now the honorary agricultural ambassador of many countries. Her weather control ability has greatly promoted agricultural production.

Now Hell's Kitchen has completely lost the conditions for evil to breed and multiply, and has even become a famous tourist check-in spot.

Kingpin and his super-criminal men who did all kinds of evil were arrested and arrested, and those little Kalami who were not worthy of the spotlight either changed careers or hid in their houses shivering. The residents of New York City were no longer afraid of the night. Go out.

Naturally, Hell Raven and Ghost Spider's attendance rates are getting lower and lower, and they are deliberately fading from people's sight.

Heather and Gwen just want to live like ordinary people.

Hearing Heather's words, Mary Jane thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed, no matter who their true identities are, Ghost Spider and Hell Raven are good neighbors and partners who protect the citizens of New York. If they really want to To retire, I sincerely wish them a safe life.”

Gwen and Heather smiled at each other and held their hands tighter.

Then Mary Jane changed the topic: "Forget about the Hell Raven and Ghost Spider, why hasn't Iron Man, that slutty guy, shown up recently? It's been almost two months. Could it be that Tony Stark has started to live an ascetic life of self-cultivation? Is it done?”

Regarding Iron Man, Heather and Gwen really don’t know yet.

Isn't that slut's moustache sprouting back to his old ways and just going off to seduce beauties and indulge in gentleness?

"I guess the outside world must be talking about me now."

On the top floor of Stark Tower, Tony Stark was sitting on the sofa in a suit and tie, holding a glass of wine in his hand and shaking it slightly, with a proud tone:

"Either they are guessing that Iron Man is about to retire, or they are speculating that I, the former playboy, couldn't restrain my loneliness and went to wallow among women.

Tsk, if you ask me, the world’s impression of Iron Man and myself is a bit too biased. "

"Really? I think their views on you are very appropriate, boss."

Sitting opposite Tony was an Asian beauty. She was sitting elegantly on the sofa, with her long black hair tied up on top of her head.

"Oh, Helen. Your words are more destructive than the steel armor's laser beam." Tony laughed.

This woman's name is Helen Zhao, a Korean scientist who used to be an old friend of Tony Stark. Because of her extraordinary talents, Tony, who had a bad and unruly personality at the time, also looked at her differently and regarded her as a genius who could equal him.

Two months ago, Tony personally flew to the United States to sincerely invite Helen Zhao to work together for an unprecedented and great cause.

After listening to Tony's future blueprint, Helen Zhao joined Tony's team without hesitation.

Later, Tony roped in Bruce Banner as a facilitator. Yes, not the Hulk but Bruce Banner.

In Tony Stark's view, Bruce Banner's talent is of much greater value than the Hulk's exaggerated green tendons.

Just when Helen Zhao and Tony Stark were busy tasting wine, Jarvis's voice suddenly sounded in the room——

[Sir, correspondence from Dr. Banner. 】

Immediately afterwards, Bruce Banner's tired voice rang through the room: "Tony, Helen, are you going to the top floor to drink again?"

Tony said loudly: "Hey, Bruce, don't be too tense, come with us to the happy lounge and relax."

"You are so leisurely, have you ever considered the views of the investors behind the scenes?" Bruce asked quietly.

At the mention of the investors behind the scenes, Tony Stark's face suddenly froze, and he didn't even shake the wine glass in his hand.

As a billionaire, Tony Stark has always been an investor, but he never thought that he would be invested one day, and this opportunity was something he had worked hard to get.

"Okay, okay, you always convince me, Bruce."

Tony put down his wine glass helplessly, stood up and straightened his suit, then looked across the way: "Ladies first?"

Helen Zhao nodded gracefully.

As the elevator descended, the two came to the huge laboratory on the sixty-fifth floor of Stark Tower.

Bruce Banner was walking around without touching his feet in a white coat. A large number of 3D projection screens appeared in front of him, with countless parameters and mecha humanoid sketches on them.

"NO.19430 to NO.19730 [Iron Guard] have been produced and are being matched with the corresponding energy cores."

Seeing Tony and Helen Zhao walking in, Bruce Banner pinched his eyebrows and finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"If you don't come down, I'm going to go on strike."

Tony was wearing a white coat while looking at the 3D screen: "Are they all deployed on the No. 4 low-Earth orbit space station?"

"Yes, Space Station No. 4 is almost full. Do you want to open Space Station No. 5?"

"Suspend the Iron Guard plan first."

Tony turned to look at Helen Zhao, who was also wearing a white coat: "Let's see where the cradle plan is?"

Helen Zhao nodded and led the two of them to the hidden elevator inside the laboratory.

In a relatively narrow and dark room, three people walked in it, and the sound of their footsteps colliding with the metal floor echoed.

In the center of this dark room, hundreds of thick cables gathered from all directions and were connected to a three-meter-long oval 'cradle'.

The entire cradle is wrapped in precision machinery and metal plates, with only a small window directly above it covered by transparent glass.

Tony walked to the cradle, and the orchid light reflected on his face through the glass cover, showing a cold tone.

"It's an unparalleled masterpiece, isn't it?" he murmured, staring obsessively inside the glass dome.

Inside the cradle, you can vaguely see a humanoid figure lying in it, with a golden gem inlaid on its forehead.

"It's almost complete, our masterpiece, our vision. The Earth will be protected by [Armor]. No one will be injured or even die while resisting external forces. The Iron Guard will become the guardian of the Earth.

And these 19,730 Iron Guards will have an unparalleled leader, an absolutely rational leader who will not be disturbed by emotions and desires. "

Tony's hand touched the glass cover, golden light and blue light intertwined, shining from between his fingers——

"The most perfect masterpiece, [Ultron]."
