Marvel's Father Earth

Merin and Asura drank until sunrise the next day, and that was the end.

"Let me tell you, becoming stronger is not without its disadvantages. You can't even drink wine anymore. It's just like drinking plain water." Asura complained as he shook the empty wine bottle.

"That would be great, lest you like to cause havoc everywhere when you are drunk." Maierin teased.

"Hey! Didn't you agree? Don't mention the dark history of the past!" Ashura shouted with a blushing face.

"There are no outsiders here. If you don't tell me, won't I know?"

"Tch, I only have two hobbies, drinking and fighting. Now the wine tastes tasteless, and you control me when we fight. What fun do I have in life?"

"Isn't it right? Why do I remember that you have a hobby?"

"That's called the needs of life! You, the great love saint who keeps your body like a jade, won't understand."

"Yeah, I'm not like some old bachelor. I have a wife to take care of me." It seemed like he was lamenting and complaining, but the joking expression on his face proved that Merin was only in Versailles.

"You bastard! I..."

"Okay, Asura, let's get down to business." Maier asked with a serious expression because he stopped Asura's attack in advance.

Seeing this, Asura stopped making trouble and became serious.

"The entrance to the Buddhist world has been moved, so I didn't find much, but I also found some traces. I met some of the little Buddhas scattered outside, and they have all taken refuge in Hades." Asura said.

Asura has not returned to the Holy Realm for a while. He has been out investigating the collusion between Buddhism and the underworld. Although they all have speculations in their hearts, they have no substantial evidence. Has all Buddhism been corrupted?To that extent?To what extent has Buddhism’s strength recovered?

These are all extremely important information. Merin didn't want to lead the Saints to fight Hades' Pluto army happily, only to be stabbed in the back by the Buddhist runners.

If it hadn't been for the death of Molkaba, Ashura would still be under investigation.

"Must find where Buddhism is now."

"I know, I'll leave later."

After drinking the last of the wine in the glass, Asura put down the glass and was about to leave, but Maierin stopped him.

"Hey, Asura."

"Anything else to order?"

"Don't die. You are the only old friends from the past." Merin said looking at Chaoyang.

"...Tsk, I thought you were going to say something. Those cowards can't keep me alive." Asura said with a smile, and then turned into golden light and disappeared into the sky.

……

Time flies by and we arrive in 1980.

During this period, there were not many things going on. There were still no major crises, but constant minor troubles.

Superpowered criminals appear more and more frequently, and [SHIELD] and [X-Men] are also very busy. The prison in the Sanctuary has been expanded twice, but it is still too crowded.

Moreover, the current [SHIELD] is divided into two sides: the bright side and the secret side. The secret side is naturally a private organization secretly formed by Colonel Phillips, Steve, Paige, and Howard, and the bright side [SHIELD] Bureau]... Oh, by the way, it is not called [SHIELD] yet, it should be called [Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Bureau], a special agency established by the order of the International Security Council to deal with various strange events.

Because of Peggy's relationship with Steve and her merits and abilities, she was appointed as the first director.

Although Paige did not refuse, she was not interested in the so-called [Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency] at all. If the [Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau] was not established on the basis of the scientific strategic force, she would I really don’t want to be the director.

Putting aside the fact that organizations linked to bureaucracy do not conform to her ideals in terms of nature and purity, let’s take a look at who the members are.

Agents from the former Intelligence Bureau and Bureau of Investigation, some of the children of high-ranking officials who were forcibly brought in to be gilded, scientists from other countries recruited by [Operation Paperclip], and most egregiously, there were actually former members of Hydra who were captured after the war, Paige saw. When she was reading the list of people, she didn't know how much patience it took to resist giving each person a peanut.

"Have these idiots had their heads kicked by donkeys? Why don't Hydra people just shoot them and let them join such an important organization?" Peggy took a sip of whiskey and cursed.

"Calm down, Carter, they are not Hydra now, they will not be after they surrender." Colonel Phillips reassured.

"Haha, you don't even believe what you say." Paige rolled her eyes and sneered.

"Well, I really don't believe them, but this is an order from above, and there's nothing I can do about it." Colonel Phillips spread his hands and said innocently.

"So your name is not on my gift-giving list."

"That's great, but why do you care? Anyway, you, the director, are just here to show them. Our core is here." Colonel Phillips pointed to his feet and said.

"Oh, of course I know this, but... I'm still very disappointed." Paige sighed.

"Haha, it's just a bunch of guys who were confused by the illusion. Let them be. But Paige, you'd better monitor those people in advance. Don't let anything happen and you become the scapegoat." Howard reminded.

"The arrangements have been made. I still have the members of the former Scientific and Strategic Force in my hands."

"That's good. Do you want to transfer some people from [SHIELD] to help you?"

"Forget it, the [Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Bureau] is a mixed bag. Except for the people from the former Scientific and Strategic Forces, no one can be trusted. Although they have evil intentions, they are indeed elites. [S.H.I.E.L.D.] is not suitable for exposure , if something is discovered in advance, it will be a big loss.

Besides, there are more and more criminals with superpowers now, and I am almost overwhelmed. Where can I get the people to help me? "

"That's all I said, don't take it seriously." Howard laughed.

However, he stopped laughing immediately, because Peggy's eyes kept falling on him.

"Hey, hey, hey, Paige, are you kidding me?" After so many years of cooperation, the three people present and Steve, who is on a mission, have developed an unparalleled tacit understanding. Even if Paige doesn't say anything, Howard will I understand what Paige means.

"Of course... no! After thinking about it, I really need your help."

"Can you let me go? I'm very busy now! I'll just go home for one day this week!"

"One day would be good. Look at the colonel, look at me, and look at Steve. How long have we not had a break?"

Howard was on the verge of tears. Yes, yes, you are telling the truth, but is it the same?Colonel Phillips is a lonely old man with no wife or children. [SHIELD] is his home; it is your own fault that you and Steve rarely rest!You have to take over all the small tasks yourself because you are worried about it. Do you blame me?

And I’m different, I still have a wife and children!

That's right, Howard and Maria's son, the future Iron Man, Tony Stark, was born ten years ago.

And precisely because Howard was too busy at work, ten-year-old Tony hated Howard who often didn't come home, and even slandered him many times that he had someone new outside!

In this regard, Howard was really grateful to Maria for staying with Tony for him, but they couldn't explain Tony's slander. The less people knew about the existence of SHIELD, the better.

However, Howard was not worried at all that Tony would grow crooked due to family reasons. First, it was because Maria had always been with Tony and even quit her job to take care of him; second, when Tony was born, under the petition of Howard and others, Next, I received Marion's [blessing], and Howard accompanied Maria and took Tony to the Holy Land as a guest whenever he had time. Under the influence of the environment, there must be no dark thoughts.

Howard racked his brains to think of any other reasons or excuses to refuse Peggy's request to help the [Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency], and at this moment, the special communicator between them and Steve rang. .

"This is Peggy Carter, please speak."

"Peggy, do you have any plans for the next two days?"

"No, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Well, you will go to the Holy Land tomorrow, and I will meet you there."

"What happened?" Did another god appear?

As soon as they heard that they were going to the sanctuary, the expressions of Peggy, Howard, and Colonel Phillips all became solemn.

As long as it does not involve the time of the gods, they will not go to the sanctuary for help. Even if Steve goes to the sanctuary the most frequently among the three, he only goes to practice. It will definitely not be a small matter to call them together now. .

In their eyes, the appearance of gods is a big disaster.

"Yes, another god is coming."

"Do you know who it is?"

"Goddess Athena."

"What!? How could it be her!? She's not... Wait! You mean!?" Paige thought of something and said in shock.

"Yes, Mr. Myron has issued a recall order to all Saints. The day after tomorrow is the time when the goddess Athena will reincarnate." Steve replied.

"This... this... you wait, I need to slow down..."

After a long time, the three of them calmed down. The three of them looked at each other, and their colleagues nodded.

"Got it, we'll leave right away."

"Ah."

After the communication ended, Peggy and the other three started making arrangements immediately without any delay. The birth of the goddess Athena into the world was no small matter. Peggy and Howard were priests who had been [blessed]. When another main god came, of course they had to be present. At the same time, they also wanted to confirm whether the goddess Athena was a god who was willing to protect the earth as in the legend.

"By the way, do Maria and Tony need to go?" Howard asked suddenly.

Those who accepted the [Blessing] were the priests of Merin, and Maria and Tony were naturally included. However, although they knew about the Holy Realm, they wanted to not be deeply involved, and Howard was not willing to involve them.

"...Let's go together. Mr. Myron shouldn't mind, but we have to express our attitude." Paige thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, I'll pick them up right away."
