The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

"What kind of aliens do you think will come this time?" Hawkeye chatted with Natasha beside him.

"I just hope they're not too abstract," Natasha frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

"I'm hoping for something a little more special," Banner joined the conversation.

"If it's like Thor, it'll be too boring."

"You should know I can hear you," Thor retorted.

"Looks like our guests have arrived," Hawkeye shielded his eyes with his hand, gazing at the approaching spacecraft.

The spacecraft was a size larger than S.H.I.E.L.D.'s transport aircraft, with a beak-like shape, flanked by two narrow wings, unlike any of Earth's aircraft.

A large Tian Gong Hui (Celestial Workshop) logo was printed on the front of the spacecraft, impossible to miss, which was how Hawkeye recognized who they were.

The spacecraft slowly landed on the Avengers Tower's helipad, the wide helipad fully occupied by the ship.

"Oh, looks like I built my helipad just right," Tony said.

The hatch at the rear of the spacecraft opened, and under the expectant and inquisitive gazes of the crowd, the Celestial Workshop team finally revealed their true forms.

A red, four-armed strongman, over three meters tall, even taller than the Hulk, with bandoliers strapped across his body, holding four handguns, and a large sword on his back.

Next to him was a person wearing a black and white protective suit, their true face obscured.

Further along was a burly figure, resembling a robot more than a living being, with nozzles distributed on its arms and shoulders, and a transparent section on its abdomen, filled with swirling, colorful mists.

In front of these three strongmen was the familiar Zini star person, Grease.

"Long time no see, friends!" Grease greeted everyone with his hands raised.

"Grease! My boy," Thor stepped forward and fist-bumped Grease, splashing a lot of mud.

"Welcome back," Natasha also stepped forward to greet him.

"Wouldn't mind introducing us to your friends, would you?"

"Of course!" Grease stepped aside, introducing himself with a wave of his hand.

"This is Four-Armed Overlord! Very strong, a combat elite, his position is Agent."

"Pleased to meet you, madam," Four-Armed Overlord extended two right hands.

"Uh, me too," Natasha was taken aback, then extended both hands and shook hands with Four-Armed Overlord.

"This is Pu Ba, don't be scared by his appearance, he's actually quite humorous, and he's very strong, eliminating an army single-handedly is no problem, his position is also Agent."

"Hello everyone," Pu Ba waved to everyone.

"And this one!" Grease pointed both hands at the person in the middle.

"Is our leader, the captain of the Celestial Workshop's Earth team, incredibly strong, and very popular, Captain Diamond War God, his position is Sheriff!"

"Pleased to meet everyone," the protective suit's faceplate opened, revealing a crystalline face.

"Wow!" Natasha exclaimed, a crystal head, no wonder he's so popular, even Natasha couldn't help but be moved.

"Thank you very much for coming to assist us," Steve stepped forward, extending his right hand.

"This is also for the universe," Diamond War God reached out and shook it.

Just like with Grease, to avoid being exposed, Yang Le gave each alien hero a persona: Four-Armed Overlord is a hearty warrior, Pu Ba is a sultry and humorous type, and Diamond War God is serious and upright, so Steve and Diamond War God were sure to get along.

Sure enough, Diamond War God's steady demeanor, coupled with his 'great, glorious, and correct' remarks, gave Steve a good first impression.

"Let's go inside and talk, I even brought coffee beans for Tony," Grease said, taking a vacuum-packed bag of coffee beans from his stomach.

"You call that coffee beans?" Tony, who hadn't said much due to fatigue, widened his eyes when he saw the coffee beans Grease took out.

"That's basically a football!" Banner couldn't help but say.

Just like Banner said, the coffee beans in Grease's hand were about the size of a football, and the color was also very strange, actually red.

"These were cultivated by my colleague, the effect is definitely better than your Earth coffee beans."

That's right, this huge coffee bean was cultivated by Swampfire, not only was the size far beyond normal coffee beans, but even the effect was several times better, even able to be used as a stimulant.

"The effect is indeed great, I occasionally have a cup," Four-Armed Overlord nodded.

"But Earthlings can't use too much, it's bad for the body," Pu Ba reminded.

"I can see that," Tony looked at the huge coffee bean and swallowed.

After chatting, the Avengers invited the Celestial Workshop team into the tower, along the way Four-Armed Overlord could be said to be hitting obstacles everywhere (physically).

"This building is too short," Four-Armed Overlord complained.

"You're just too tall," Pu Ba retorted.

After bumping and squeezing his way forward, Four-Armed Overlord finally arrived at the conference room, luckily the conference room had double doors, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get in.

"Seriously, Grease," Hawkeye sat next to Grease. "Since the last meeting, your Celestial Workshop suddenly disappeared for two weeks, and we couldn't contact you, we thought something had happened to you."

"There was nothing we could do, headquarters had a mission, we were suddenly recalled, and there was no time to notify you," Grease casually made up a lie, the truth was that he had been researching life energy for the past two weeks, and he had cut off contact with the outside world.

'Two weeks, it's been so long,' Tony thought to himself, hearing the conversation between Grease and Hawkeye.

'Speaking of which, the research on artificial intelligence has also stalled for two weeks,' Tony couldn't help but sigh at the thought.

He still didn't understand, artificial intelligence was clearly almost completed, but it just couldn't be activated, it had been going smoothly before.

The research had entered a bottleneck after that meeting two weeks ago, and progress had stalled.

Suddenly, Tony seemed to have grasped something.

'After that meeting, the Mind Stone was hidden in the Avengers Tower, could it be because of it?'

Although he couldn't believe it, this was indeed the only possibility Tony could think of.

'I'll go take a look after the meeting, hopefully it's just my imagination.'

Tony suppressed the unease in his heart, hoping that he was just guessing wrong.

However, while everyone was gathered in the conference room, in the basement of the Avengers Tower, a burst of energy drilled into the electronic lock of the protective door, and invaded Tony's laboratory through spaces that humans could not enter.

The artificial intelligence that Tony had spent countless days and nights on but couldn't activate, was quietly lit up.
