The Beauty of Light on Earth

Chapter 142 The Battle of New York—Postscript

There is no suspense that Senator Matthew Ellis, who was heavily bet by Fiskar, won the presidential election. The only difference from previous US election wins is that the news media all over the world did so in their own newspapers and magazines. A small piece of tofu is left in an eye-catching corner to briefly inform the matter, while the rest of the page is only discussing one thing, where will mankind go?

"SHIELD! Protector or destroyer of the earth? Monitor everything in our lives! Is it safety or a cage?"

"Officials have officially recognized the existence of mutant aliens! Waves of post-war protests have broken out around the world! Condemn the government's inaction!"

"Ms. Peggy Carter, CEO of Fiskar Technology Group, is really the Agent Peggy Carter who told us about Captain America's past in the Smithsonian Museum?"

"The Vatican's Secretary of State, Cardinal Voiello, severely condemned S.H.I.E.L.D. for concealing the descent of the angels in a private meeting with EU officials, and said that His Holiness the Pope will make a public speech on the recent incident in New York!"

"Magic? Or unproven science - the behind-the-scenes story of how the magician organization Kama Taj was forced to shut down due to excessive traffic within 3 minutes of opening!"

"How much has the government hidden from the people about the culprit of the alien invasion? Are you ready to face another possible alien invasion?"

Rising Tide, which was once just a small circle of dark top hackers, also became famous because of the New York incident. As SHIELD was officially exposed to the public eye, many urban legends were confirmed. Rising Tide has also become a modern Robin Hood and is deeply worshiped by teenagers. Under the guidance of government nihilism, not only the government and military, but also top technology companies such as Fisk, Pim, and Stark have been attacked by hackers.please()

Under the impact of such a violent ideological trend, large and small religious groups have sprung up all over the world, and their beliefs are also diverse. The Asgard Church, which believes in the legendary Nordic gods, is the most famous and influential. In just a few weeks, there have been Millions of people joined it.

Fiskar, who had made a splash in the Battle of New York, had almost trampled the threshold of the headquarters building. Diplomats from various countries came to the Tower of Babel with only one purpose, to buy weapons.

The messy New York is rapidly undergoing post-war reconstruction work under the command of the Disaster Control Bureau established by SHIELD. Marvel Earth's black technology is not only applied in high-tech fields, but also in the most common infrastructure fields.Rejecting vague donations from all over the world, the U.S. government decisively came up with a reconstruction plan and stated that it would restore New York to its original appearance within four years.

Vanity Fair is still vying for money. The American Wall Street consortium used the fastest speed to temporarily move the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange to Philadelphia to continue its financial journey to dominate the world. The Capitol Hill arms purchase proposal was passed in the fastest time. General Ross became the leader of the United States. A great hero in the eyes of the people, the Harlem riots that stained his life have also become an inspirational story of enduring humiliation and bearing the burden, exaggerated by the military mouthpiece.

The World Security Council also approved the most terrifying economic budget in history for S.H.I.E.L.D., which had successfully solved the crisis on earth. Faced with the threat on the table, countries around the world united to seek common ground while reserving differences and held an emergency United Nations General Assembly at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. , leaders from various countries gathered together to once again reaffirm SHIELD's authority to handle supernatural events around the world.

The chief culprit of the New York disaster, the Asgardian Loki, was taken away from the earth without any sanctions and without even a verbal apology. This was a huge blow to the leaders of various countries who were already addicted to the fruits of power. , the earth is just a native in the eyes of aliens.

All kinds of quarrels, discussions, and changes are taking place in some corner of the earth all the time. However, for Lucian, the biggest contributor to the Battle of New York, these have nothing to do with him. What he has to do now is to stay in Crow In Fu Manor, I insist on eating a burnt omelette every day.

In the pavilion in the outdoor garden, Lucian, who had fully recovered, sat on a chair and personally made a bowl of tea for the ancient Master who came from afar.

"Hidden away in the city, who would have thought that the angel who saved the earth lives here." After being persuaded by Lucian, Ancient One officially unveiled Kama Taj after the Battle of New York. The effect received was unexpectedly good. Not to mention the three Mordus who have become household names, the streets of Kathmandu are now crowded with knowledge seekers from all over the world.Contrary to the conspiracy theories that were prevalent in the era of peace, the Mage's Priory stepped forward at the critical moment. With this slight push in line with the torrent of the times, it established a high reputation in the hearts of the world.

"Don't talk nonsense. Sister Angel is currently in the Vatican helping the Pope stand up." He glanced at Ancient One angrily. Lucian already knew that the reason why Ancient One sat firmly on the Diaoyutai in the Battle of New York was to invite you to the urn. If Lucien had been there before, He can continue to live a happy life with his family and immigrants outside the world regardless of the earth or not, but now that he has gained popularity and is entangled in his fate, Lucien can no longer leave easily. No matter where he escapes, the looming thread of fate is He will definitely be brought back to Earth and the responsibilities he must shoulder.As for Morrigan, it was just a cover-up. You must know that the two people are connected by soul. Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Lucian is the main body who bears the fate.

"To express my apology, I owe you a favor."

Hey, sigh.

Looking at Gu Yi's sincere attitude, Lucian looked a little sad. Deep in Lucian's heart, he still felt a slight sense of alienation from the Marvel Earth where he lived. The memory of his past life made Lucian never really integrate into the world he lived in. In fact, Azeroth is not the same, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

In many cases, Lucian even ignored this point. He only subconsciously took himself out when making business plans, euphemistically calling it an outsider controlling everything behind the scenes. However, Ancient One was able to see through all this despite the heavy fog. Gu Yi could never figure out the cause and effect here, but Gu Yi had a way to prevent Lucien from having to worry about it. What he had been waiting for for many years was that moment, when he could save thousands of people with his own power, and his merits were immeasurable.

Wanting to understand the cause and effect, Lucien didn't mean to blame Gu Yi. I was born in this place, and it is so difficult to actually do it if it is easy to say.Someone can help Lucien really take this step. Maybe he should say thank you to Ancient One. It's great to have a friend who can give guidance.

Suddenly he noticed Laura standing under the eaves in the distance. Lucian estimated that the time had come, so he stood up gracefully and laughed boldly, "I'll take care of myself when I come! Gu Yi, you are too ignorant about favors and things like that. If you are really sorry, give me a space to take with you. Sometimes I really envy your masters for having food, drink, doors, and bags. If I hadn't been the first to come into contact with the Holy Light, I would have gone to Dalaran to become a master."

After saying that, he took a leap of faith and pulled Laura into his arms. Regardless of Laura's red-faced resistance, Lucian continued to speak to Ancient One in an arrogant voice, "Master, please open the door!"

...

The sky was gloomy, and the scarred Central Park in New York City was filled with people who came to mourn the dead. A total of 96 people eventually died in the Battle of New York. Compared to the miserable current situation of New York City, with a population of tens of millions , the death toll of more than 2 is already a miracle. Unn has done a special report on this matter. Without the angelic miracle, the death toll in New York would have to be at least zero.

A brand-new memorial to the victims stands on the site of the obelisk that was destroyed by the bombing in Central Park. Under the monument, President-elect Matthew Ellis is delivering a speech mourning the dead. An atmosphere of sadness enveloped the crowd.

"How could it be Ellis giving a speech and the current president."

At the foot of an unknown hillside in Central Park, the three Luciens who emerged from the mirror space appeared in the crowd. Looking at the next president who was speaking affectionately without a teleprompter in the distance, Lucien asked the captain beside him.

At the foot of the hill, in addition to Rogers who attended the ceremony on behalf of Fiskar, there were also Hope, Tony, Pepper from Pym Technology, and Hawkeye and Natasha, who were already revealing their identities.

"If such a big thing happens, someone must take the blame, even though he is quite innocent." The captain lowered his head and ignored Lucian. Instead, Hope next to him said with a sad expression.

The three Lucians quietly joined the mourning team. Facing this war that rewrote human history, both the Ancient One and Lucian showed a trace of sadness under their calm appearance. Where is our road?

After the short speech, there was a moment of silence. However, Lucian, who was feeling something at this time, suddenly condensed the holy light into a shakuhachi, performed a fade operation, and put it to his lips, thinking about the melodious exotic tune for a long time. spread throughout Central Park.

"The stars seem to have withdrawn their light, they no longer shine for me.

They seem cold and indifferent, and they cannot replace my warm hands on you.

But I hold back my tears and live like a year,

I desperately insist on recording every moment here for you;

But loneliness is coming soon, pain has come,

Your faded smile gently drifts away from my memory.

Don't cry at my tombstone, I'm not there, I'm not asleep.

I am the biting cold wind passing through the snowfields of Northrend.

I am the gentle spring rain that nourishes the wheat fields of the Westfall.

I am the quiet dawn that fills the woods of Stranglethorn.

I am the mighty drum, flying over the clouds of Nagrand.

I am the warm stars that adorn the night of Darnassus.

I am a singing bird, remaining in the beautiful world.

Don't cry at my tombstone,

I was not there, I never slept..."
