A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

State of the Union Address, an annual address delivered by the President of the United States to a joint session of Congress in the House Hall of the United States Capitol.Although there is no legal fixed date, the State of the Union address is usually delivered on the last Tuesday in January.However, this year, for some unknown reason, it was set on the day after the New Year holiday.

When the president entered the hall of the House of Representatives, he was greeted with unprecedented applause and cheers.Both Democrats and Republicans, and even members of the Supreme Court and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who have always remained neutral, welcomed the young president with the highest enthusiasm to show the world the firmness and confidence of the United States.

Belle stood in the corner of the hall, not far from the president, and could observe most of the people in the audience at the same time.However, when the House sergeant-at-arms introduced the president and the audience cheered enthusiastically, her vision was seriously disturbed. At this moment, her always accurate intuition took effect again.

"Are these people a little too enthusiastic? C-Span's ratings tonight must be the highest in the world." She reported through the intercom, passing on the abnormalities she discovered in a joke-like way.Her walkie-talkie is connected to the entire security system. She cannot use her intuition as evidence. She can only hope that someone will recognize this abnormal phenomenon and be vigilant at the same time.

Secret Service Director Nathan Green apparently noticed, too.

"It is indeed strange. The Speaker of the House of Representatives is a Democratic Party. According to tradition, he should not welcome a Republican president so warmly."

Mark Usher, the President's Chief of Staff, stood with the Secret Service Director, and when Belle's voice came over the latter's walkie-talkie, Mark heard it.

He explained: "In special times, we have specially negotiated with the Democratic Party. The United States now needs some partisan cooperation."

"Are you sure? This sincerity doesn't look like a show?" Belle observed carefully. At this time, her line of sight was blocked, and she could only see the front row. "Look at the Democratic Justice Heather... Mrs. Dunbar, she’s much colder.”

"The Supreme Court needs to stay neutral," Usher said. "Focus where it's needed, the kids."

Belle shook her head and took out a mobile phone specially developed by Stark, which could still be used normally even during periods of signal blocking.She sent Peter a message, blasting the Washington bureaucracy for being so difficult.

Peter never replied.He is at the highest level of combat readiness for the first time in his life.

Spider-Man squats on top of the Cape Henry Lighthouse in Virginia Beach, staring at the sea in the distance, using his Spider-Sense to act as a makeshift radar.Even in the biting cold wind, he remained motionless and rare in maintaining absolute silence.

Because before he came, a ship had completely lost contact near here.

It was a survey ship affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D., less than thirty nautical miles away from the defense range of the Seventh Fleet. When the incident occurred, it was receiving an order to prepare to return, and then suddenly sent out a call for help, and then disappeared quietly.Captain America made a quick decision, and with the help of Doctor Strange, everyone rushed to Virginia immediately.War Machine, Iron Man, Falcon and Vision are searching the air with all their strength. Captain America has contacted the commander of the Seventh Fleet, and the reconnaissance aircraft carried on the aircraft carrier have also been dispatched.Hawkeye, Black Widow and Scarlet Witch are stationed at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay, which is the only way to invade Washington from the Atlantic Ocean.

"Are we being attacked?" Wanda looked extremely worried.

She may be the only person living in the United States who has personally experienced the destruction of her country.Although she didn't even have an American passport, no one felt stronger than her at this moment.

"We are doing our best to prevent this from happening, now..."

Clint Barton comforted her.However, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although his combat power is not top-notch, he is still very good at it. Before he could finish his words, Spider-Man, who was squatting on top of the lighthouse, felt that his hair was about to stand on end (it was just a trend, he was The tight-fitting spider suit was restricted) and sent the contact.

"Something is coming!"

The war machine flying in the air was the first to witness the abnormality.

A large frigate is swaying and sinking slowly!

"We're under attack, we're under attack!"

The captain's distress signal spread quickly, and the war machine immediately swooped down to support him. However, before he could get close, he hit a defensive force field and suffered minor damage to the outer armor.

"We are in trouble. Notify all pilots not to approach rashly. Repeat, don't approach rashly!"

The planes that were about to arrive for support had to adjust their directions when they heard the message from the war machine. However, there were still a few planes that did not adjust enough and hit the protective force field and were shattered to pieces.

Iron Man, Vision and Falcon also hurriedly arrived. Seeing that the crashed fighter jet was at least one kilometer away from the frigate, these three also changed their strategies and prepared to estimate the scope of the defensive force field first.

"Falcon, please go back first. You can't hover in the air. It's too dangerous to act rashly here."

Iron Man issued the order, and Sam Wilson could only accept it despite his dissatisfaction.He increased the flight altitude a lot before returning to the coast and waiting with Hawkeye and others.

"Friday, how are the scan results?"

"The range of the defensive force field is constantly changing, and no pattern has been found yet. Calculated with the frigate as the center point, the current limit radius is two kilometers."

"Are you kidding me? There is no pattern?" War Machine found it hard to believe the conclusion of the artificial intelligence. "Is there anything in this world where Tony Stark can't find any pattern?"

Vision provided his own opinion in time. He may be smarter than Stark's AI. "If you only scan the part above the sea surface, or the overall scanning speed is lower than the target's moving speed, it will be really difficult to find the pattern. We may need to Go and have a look below the surface.”

"Okay," Iron Man quickly changed direction and plunged into the sea. "Let's see if you have the courage. Wait for me, or follow me."

"Who said we were following you? I was just following my heart." War Machine followed closely.

Vision hesitated and said, "My gallbladder is artificial. I don't know if it matches the characteristics of a human gallbladder described by Mr. Stark."

"Oh my God, for God's sake," Iron Man said, "come here!"

The three Iron Man men threw themselves into the water, but nothing caught up with them.It was already dark, and it was underwater, so there was basically no light at all.The ocean currents are strong, the water is full of bubbles, and the results of infrared detection are not satisfactory.If the search was rashly dispersed, all three of them might be defeated individually, so it wasn't long before they had to return to the surface of the sea.

Within just a few minutes of them entering the water, seven more ships were attacked. They had no idea what was attacking them. They only knew that the cabins of the ships were broken and the hulls were dragged and sank rapidly.The entire attack was accurate, efficient and silent.

Spider-Man, who was standing high up, was trembling a little, not sure if it was because of the cold wind or because of this weird scene.

"Have any of you seen "Clash of the Titans"? I think someone seems to have released a sea monster!" Peter said, looking at the sudden whirlpool on the sea, the rushing water, and listening to the loud roar, he felt like this scene Deja vu.

The three people flying in the sky saw the culprit of today's attack more intuitively from high altitude. A huge metal snake head suddenly emerged from the sea. Just like a real snake hunting, it was so fast and agile that the war machine had no time to react. Fortunately, Vision took action in time and slammed into the snake's body. The giant snake was bent due to the impact, and the snake's head failed to close in the position of the war machine, allowing him to escape.

The moment he collided with the giant snake, the mind gem on Vision's forehead felt something different.

"This is not a mechanical creation, it is a living thing!"

"Hey, hey, hey, guys, don't stop there, there's something else!" Iron Man yelled, while quickly retreating, barely avoiding the second snakehead that attacked.

Immediately afterwards, the third, fourth, and fifth snake heads also surfaced and began to attack everything they could touch without restraint.The warships of the Seventh Fleet did not have such high maneuverability, and several frigates that were too close could not dodge and were directly hit into two pieces.

"Were all the warships that sank just now bitten by snakes and dragged into the water?" The war machine spent the rest of its life watching these snakes attacking everywhere with lingering fear, "How many such snakes do they have!"

"I think there may be only one, but there are many heads." Vision dodged the attack of the snake head while calmly analyzing the situation, "The attack distance of each snake head is limited, and they are all equal. They are probably from the same snake head. However, we do not rule out the possibility that the other party deliberately arranged this attack method in order to confuse us."

"No need to ask, these guys just created a hydra!" Iron Man said while firing a pulse cannon at the position of the snake body where Vision just hit, and found that it had no effect at all. " The material of the snake body is very strong, and I’m not sure what it is. Where did they get the technology to make this thing?”

Their conversation was also heard by several people on the distant coast.

Hawkeye asked: "Did the robot that attacked Belle have similar technology to this?"

"It's very possible," Iron Man said, "This thing looks similar to those big guys during the Chitauri invasion. Their main purpose of stealing alien weapons is to create this basilisk."

"Black Widow and Hawkeye immediately contacted the local police station to evacuate all residents. Wanda guarded the coast to prevent the fighting from spreading to the city. Peter contacted Washington to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to raid, and then contacted Doctor Strange to ask him to return from Los Angeles as soon as possible. There’s no time to study that crappy book now, we need him in the war.”

After Captain America assigned the mission, he jumped on a Quinjet. "For the rest of us, let's try to limit the battle to the sea."

"I just returned." Sam Wilson complained, but the expression on his face was very excited. He was particularly regretful that he could not participate in the last operation in Sokovia. He has always been an Avenger. So proud.

Peter also quickly recorded a video and sent it to Belle and Doctor Strange respectively, conveying the captain's arrangements.

Doctor Strange quickly sent a reply: "New discoveries have been made in Los Angeles. He needs to continue to study the 'broken book'. There may be a way to defeat this monster."

Belle sent a strange reply: "Count how many heads the snake has and tell me."

Peter didn't understand what this meant, but he believed that Belle wouldn't ask questions without reason, so he passed the news to Iron Man and others and asked them to help count the heads.

Vision was the first to come to the conclusion: "Eight have been discovered so far."

Peter informed Belle of the number, and the latter quickly replied again: "There will be no ninth one. The ninth head was chopped off by the two of us in New York!"
