Superman of the Marvel Universe

New York has always been a troubled city.

Apart from Washington, D.C., where the White House is located, the only other place that can be compared to it is neon Tokyo.

Even without the massive Chitauri invasion in the movie universe.

In this world, New York still has many world-destroying disasters.

For example, World War Hulk a few years ago.

Almost all the Avengers were dispatched, and then they managed to subdue the angry and irrational Hulk to prevent the catastrophe in the real estate and insurance industries.

Another example is the Civil War that happened even longer ago - this was the feud between Iron Man and Captain Marvel.

The two clashed and fought, nearly burning Manhattan to the ground.

Ordinary days, not to mention.

Street heroes of hell's kitchen, gangster clash.

Spider-Man's old rivals, the Sinister Six consisting of Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, and Venom.

And so on, to name a few.

Compared to the studio next door, the city is different and the style is different.

On the Marvel side, superheroes and villains are settling down in New York just like the migrant workers flocking to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

As for the different "Civil War", Iron Man and Captain Marvel - although in the movie universe, Tony Stark is the soul of the Avengers and is the same core as Captain America.

But in the comic book world, he is more often a trouble-making machine, rivaling Mr. Fantastic Reed-Richards.

Make various troubles and cause big events.

It is precisely because of this that there is this "civil war" with Captain Marvel.

Later results proved that Iron Man's anti-XXX series armor was useless, and was directly smashed by Carroll's punch without holding back.

Tony Stark himself was severely injured and became a vegetative state. Only his thought data was uploaded to the Internet and became an AI creature similar to Ultron.

These are completely different plot trends from the movie universe.

All in all, the citizens of New York have gradually become numb to superheroes flying around, or villains and villains who want to cause destruction.

They are not surprised, and at most they just let out a practiced scream and find a safe place to hide.

Just like now, there is a group of strangely dressed guys appearing on the road.

New Yorkers turned a blind eye. It was rush hour at this time, and everyone was rushing by, rushing to clock in and sign in.

Only young students will take out their mobile phones to take videos and then post them on social media to win a wave of likes and attention.

"I thought a group of people would come around, but I didn't expect everyone to behave normally."

Strange felt a little regretful. He used to wear suits and ties and a white coat, but now he wears retro robes every day, like an ascetic monk.

I originally thought that this unusual and strange outfit would attract the attention of passers-by, but I was disappointed.

"This is already the post-superhero era. The former Avengers have now become veterans and have withdrawn from the stage."

Luke looked at the bustling modern New York and chuckled: "Now is the time when the second generation of superheroes are most active. Hawkeye's daughter, the second generation Vision, the third generation Ant-Man, etc., those new generation heroes, they are the most active." It is the idol of young people and the mainstream today.”

Strange was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that just two years after he had been away from the world, the outside world would undergo earth-shaking changes.

"How did you know?"

he asked puzzled.

"Kama Taj is not an isolated place. The WiFi speed in my room is quite fast. I can search it on Google, including superhero personal websites, superhero-specific entries, etc."

Luke said with a shrug.

He and Strange were both strangers.

Among everyone present, the only two busier ones were Thor and Rocket Raccoon.

One is an Avenger, a superhero.

One is a cute talking pet, an alien creature.

All have a strong attraction to melon-eating passers-by.

"I didn't expect that in this world, Jane and I would also break up."

Thor sighed.

He thought of the gossip he saw on Thor's personal website.

Why can't he and his girlfriend be happy no matter which universe they are in?

"Two points to add, you are not the God of Thunder in this world, even though you are both called Thor. If you go to find Ms. Jane Foster at this time, it would be immoral, and it would be equivalent to cheating on 'yourself'."

Luke whispered as he walked down the streets of New York.

"Furthermore, you 'dumped' Ms. Foster this time. You are entangled with the charming witch Amora and Sif of Asgard - in a nutshell, you are a scumbag."

When Sol heard this, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

It's really enviable to be able to ride on three boats...what a despise!

He coughed twice and changed the subject: "Where are we going?"

"No door bar."

Luke said.

"We need to collect some intelligence about our opponents so that Strange can make a reasonable response."

Invisibly, he has become the leader of this team, leading Strange, who is supposed to be the protagonist, as well as Thor and Rocket Raccoon as his entourage.

Habits are a terrible thing. They can make people dependent on them unconsciously and make them difficult to change.

Luke can always solve every problem he encounters and answer every doubt he has. He is like a universal encyclopedia.

Over time, if this is repeated, implicit authority will gradually be established.

"Why do I think you are the one participating in the Supreme Mage's battle for supremacy? You have thought everything out."

Strange was a little depressed. As a former neurosurgeon and one of the top in the industry, he was somewhat proud.

"That's because you're not good at socializing, you're not popular, and you're an inexperienced rookie."

Luke said lightly.

"The Supreme Mage Contest has actually been held many times, and it even became a lively event in many dimensions across the universe and galaxies."

"This little rabbit has logged into the 'Stars' forum founded by Gao Tianzun and dug out all the data and information over the years."

"First of all, there is no threshold for participating in this battle for hegemony. Both hell creatures and fallen mages can participate. Anyone who comes will be welcome."

"Secondly, there are three games in total."

"In the entry round, eight candidates will be selected, and then in the promotion round, you will be qualified to meet Emperor Weishan."

"In the end, the final, choose the only winner."

"And the most mysterious trial of Emperor Weishan has a different theme every time."

"But no one tells you this. Lao Wang rarely surfs the Internet and doesn't understand it."

Strange was a little dazed when he heard this. He didn't expect Superman to be so well prepared.

"Emperor Weishan...has chosen many supreme mage?"

he asked subconsciously.

"No. This battle for hegemony was not originally for the selection of the Supreme Mage, but a test."

Luke walked over to a wall with a poster that partially covered the door.

He casually pulled out a ring to form a transmission channel.

"Being a Supreme Mage doesn't mean you can sit back and relax. Emperor Weishan will regularly conduct an assessment on the person sitting in that position. If someone can replace him, then... he will be deprived of the title and identity."

When Strange heard the answer, his heart skipped a beat.

This is equivalent to the company having to conduct performance appraisals every year, and unqualified employees will be dismissed.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Weishan of the Trinity was also an old capitalist.

As soon as a disrespectful thought came into Strange's mind, he quickly wiped it out.

"The Doorless Bar is here."

As soon as Luke and others entered, they saw that it was full of people, all of whom were trading magic items or whispering.

Alcohol, tobacco, perfume, marijuana... all kinds of smells are mixed together, making people frown.

"By the way, who among you has money? It's the kind of valuable antiquities or magic props."

Luke finally found a seat, patted Strange on the shoulder, and motioned for Strange to take out his wallet.

"Ah...I'm sorry, I don't have it."

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Strange's face, and he explained: "You know, although I had some financial resources before, I have spent them all on medical treatment. It can be said that I have lost everything."

"As for the magic items, there is nothing except this cloak."

"Then put on your cloak..."

Snapped!

Rocket Raccoon was outspoken, but before he could finish speaking, he was slapped by the collar of Strange's red cloak.

The magic floating cloak seemed to have its own mind, expressing dissatisfaction in this way.

"So, you are a poor man?"

Luke said bluntly.

"Then what kind of supreme mage competition are you participating in? No money, no strength, no friends... Stephen, you'd better go to bed as soon as possible."

Strange felt aggrieved. He used to be an elite member who wore luxury watches, drove sports cars, and lived in luxury apartments.

Now, he is actually looked down upon and called a poor man.

"Then, I'll go find some female friends I know."

Strange gritted his teeth. When he was a prodigal in love, he was quite famous among the ladies of the upper class with his good looks and excellent skills.

There is no shame in eating soft food!

he thought so.

"How long has it been since you looked in the mirror?"

Luke looked strange, as if he was suppressing a smile.

"Stephen, can you please take a look at yourself? You have an unshaven beard, rough skin, and a decadent temperament... Most importantly, your proud golden fingers - don't get me wrong, I mean your steady hands. If you are no longer a high-income young elite, will they still like you?"

One word after another, the sword struck violently, piercing Strange's heart.

He was also a personable lover of the public back then, but only two years later, he has already transformed from a delicious young man into a disgusting old man?

"Thor, I said you are the prince of Asgard. Why don't you go back to Asgard and get some good stuff."

Rocket Raccoon jumped on Thor's shoulder and came up with a bad idea.

As a result, the latter didn't respond at all. He stared straight at the back of an enchanting figure near the bar.

"Tsk, tsk, just now I said that I only have Jane in my heart, but... the old lady criticized me!"

Rocket Raccoon was quite disgusted and started using new words he learned from the Internet.

"What do you know! I just think she looks like...Loki."

Sol remained unmoved, his eyes locked on that graceful and charming back like nails.
