Summon the Villain: Marvel.

Tony Stark and T'Challa followed Humagear into the core area of ​​the Umbrella headquarters. As soon as they stepped inside, they were shocked by the high-tech scene in front of them. The walls seemed to be made entirely of data streams, and the colorful beams of light shuttled through the air, like countless pieces of information running at high speed. A huge holographic projection floated on the ceiling, as if the virtual and the real were perfectly blended. Various data streams turned into flowing codes and images, quickly analyzing and processing huge amounts of information. The whole environment gave people an extreme sense of the future, as if they were in a scene from a science fiction movie.

Tony's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and he subconsciously reached out to touch a beam of light beside him, but the data instantly disappeared before it touched his fingers. "Wow," he couldn't help but whisper in admiration, his tone revealing his unconcealed amazement, "This is an unimaginable level of technology, more advanced than anything I've ever seen."

T'Challa was also deeply shocked. He had seen Wakanda's most advanced vibranium technology, but compared with the futuristic scene in front of him, it seemed to have a more "mysterious" feeling. This kind of flowing data seemed to be everywhere, but it was orderly and accurate to every detail. He silently measured the technological strength of this headquarters in his heart, and couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the power of Umbrella.

The two looked at each other, and T'Challa whispered, "It seems that this place is not only technologically advanced, but they have reached the pinnacle in the control of information and resources."

Tony nodded and chuckled in response, "You know what? Seeing this makes me feel even more that I have to work harder to keep my title as a tech genius."

Just as they were marveling at this sci-fi headquarters, Xiu Magia beside them stopped and said in a calm and ruthless voice: "Lord Sephiroth has arrived."

The two followed Shumagia's gaze and saw that the space in the distance seemed to be compressed in an instant. Then, a tall figure slowly appeared in the field of vision. Sephiroth was wearing a long black windbreaker, with long silver hair hanging down to his waist, and a faint luster shining behind him. His steps were slow and graceful, and he seemed not to be in a hurry at all, but with every step he took, there seemed to be a sense of oppression in the air, as if even the surrounding data streams made way for him.

His cold and deep eyes swept over Tony and T'Challa, his aura was so powerful that it was suffocating, as if he had become the center of the entire room just by standing there.

Tony's heart immediately started to warn him, but he still kept a relaxed smile on the surface. "This guy's aura is really terrifying. Even if he's just standing there, he can make people feel uneasy." He thought to himself and began to calculate various coping strategies in his mind.

T'Challa was even more nervous. "The legendary Sephiroth is indeed worthy of his reputation. His aura is even stronger than any god I have ever seen." His body unconsciously tensed up, keeping a posture ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Sephiroth stopped in front of the two men, his eyes cold, his voice low but with an undeniable majesty: "Stark, T'Challa, welcome to the European headquarters of Umbrella. I am aware of your arrival."

Both of them felt the hidden power in his words. The cold and controlling aura made the entire space solemn.

Tony raised his eyebrows slightly, still with his usual relaxed smile on his face, and responded: "Hey, Sephiroth, what an honor to meet you. T'Challa and I just arrived in Europe, and I always felt that we should come and pay a visit to your legendary warrior."

T'Challa remained calm, but he was already on high alert. Sephiroth's power and mystery made him realize that this meeting might not be as easy as Tony made it out to be. He prepared secretly, silently reminding himself to be careful with the man in front of him.

The atmosphere in the whole room became more tense and mysterious with the appearance of Sephiroth, as if an unpredictable contest was about to begin in the next second.

Sephiroth looked at Tony and Techara coldly. Although they did not speak, he could clearly feel their vigilance and alertness from their subtle gestures and eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer, but he did not respond immediately.

"It seems that you can't hide your nervousness." Sephiroth said lightly, his voice as calm as water, but with an invisible pressure.

He turned around and waved gently. Xiumagia next to him immediately reacted and led the three people into a conference room. This was one of the discussion areas of the Umbrella headquarters. The design of the whole room was simple and elegant, surrounded by high-tech equipment, and several futuristic art paintings hung on the wall. In the center was a transparent long table covered with data screens, displaying various global intelligence in real time.

Sephiroth walked to the long table first, sat down gently, folded his hands on the table, and looked at the two visitors calmly, as if waiting for them to speak.

T'Challa and Tony looked at each other. Although Sephiroth's aura was extremely oppressive, they still tried their best to remain calm. T'Challa took a deep breath and spoke first, "Sephiroth, we are here today mainly to discuss the recent surge in superpowers in Africa and Europe. We have discovered that a mysterious force is wantonly capturing and transforming those with potential superpowers in Africa, and their activities are expanding to Europe."

His tone was firm and calm, and it was obvious that this was a fact that had been investigated long ago. He then added: "The situation in Africa is already complicated, and now the infiltration of these forces has put us under great pressure. I suspect that the transformation of these superpowers may have extremely large support behind them."

Tony sat next to T'Challa and fiddled with the holographic screen on the table, as if he was looking for relevant data. He was calm and added, "We are not here to accuse anyone, nor are we engaged in any political conspiracy. We just want to find out who is behind these super-powered warriors. If we know the ins and outs of this force, we may be able to better deal with this impending crisis."

Tony finished speaking and looked at Sephiroth, obviously hoping to get some information from this senior Umbrella fighter. After all, Umbrella is one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the world. They control a lot of resources and information. If anyone can uncover the truth behind it, it is undoubtedly Sephiroth.

Sephiroth did not respond immediately, but listened to the two people's words quietly, with no fluctuations in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something profound. His silence made the atmosphere in the room more solemn, and there seemed to be an invisible sense of oppression in the air.

T'Challa and Tony also felt the pressure, but they remained calm and waited for Sephiroth's response.

Sephiroth spoke slowly, his voice low and calm, as if he was narrating an insignificant piece of history: "The battle between Umbrella and the European Union was, in a sense, just a display of technology. We won, but in essence, Umbrella is not trying to rule Europe, or even dominate the earth. You have to understand that Umbrella is just a technology company. We don't have any ambition to dominate the earth. It can even be said that we don't pay much attention to the future of the earth."

He paused slightly here, his eyes still cold, as if the problems before him were not important to him.

T'Challa frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied with Sephiroth's nonchalant attitude, but his instinct deep in his heart told him that Sephiroth was not bluffing. His calmness and confidence came from a power beyond mortals, as if all the struggles on earth were nothing but insignificant dust to him. Despite this, T'Challa suppressed his doubts and continued to remain calm.

"So, you are distancing yourself from the matter?" T'Challa asked with a slightly questioning tone. His voice was calm but sharp. "You are saying that Umbrella does not participate in the affairs of the Earth, especially behind the unrest in Africa and Europe, and you have no responsibility? But as a giant that controls the world, shouldn't you have a greater sense of responsibility?"

Sephiroth remained expressionless and responded coldly: "Sense of responsibility? Our Umbrella Group's responsibility has always been to develop technology and promote human progress. As for dominating the earth... this is not our goal. The earth's potential has been almost exhausted. Now, the group's sights have long been set on the universe. The vastness of the universe is our true direction." His tone was calm, as if he was stating a known fact.

After listening to this, Tony showed a disapproving expression. He shook his head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Have you really not investigated these things? As the most powerful technology group in the world, you actually turn a blind eye to the problems on Earth? This sounds a bit too unreal."

Sephiroth smiled slightly and shook his head, with a hint of indifference and mockery in his eyes: "No, Tony. We are not interested in investigating these things in depth. The future of the earth has come to an end. Umbrella's mission on earth has been basically completed, and the future direction has long turned to the interstellar. What you call a crisis is nothing more than a local conflict within human society for us."

He paused, then continued: "If you really want to find a so-called 'world policeman', then you should go to S.H.I.E.L.D., not the Umbrella Group. We have no interest in managing world order."

Tony sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "It seems that we may have found the wrong place. You don't care about the future of the earth, and you don't plan to do anything about it."

Sephiroth looked at the two of them, still maintaining his cold and emotionless expression: "That's right. The future of the Earth is left to you to deal with. As for us at the Umbrella Group, the universe is our stage."
