Chapter 411 Kaz Reappears
"Tony may be right. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."
At this moment, Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who had been silent, spoke and looked at the rest of the Avengers.
Because he needed to deal with the issue between Straker and NATO, Nick Fury did not attend the Avengers party, and therefore indirectly missed Dio's attack on the Avengers.
By the time he rushed back to Avengers Tower, the entire battle was over.
"The Avengers are not S.H.I.E.L.D."
Faced with Nick Fury's words, Steve still stared at him silently and said.
"We have our own bottom line."
"However, our enemies will not abide by this bottom line."
Turning his head to meet Captain America's gaze, Nick Fury replied word for word.
"Whether it's Dio or [Ultimate Creature], do you think these monsters will live in peace with humans, Captain? We have all heard the content of Straker's interrogation. More than half of the Hydras in the entire Hydra died next to them. In the hands of the [Ultimate Creature], even one of the Fantastic Four..."
"Nick..."
After hearing Nick Fury mention the information about the [Ultimate Creatures] in the Hydra base, Natasha noticed the Fantastic Four on the side and immediately spoke to stop them.
"Even the Fantastic Four?"
However, it was obvious that Natasha's stop was still a little late.
From the information revealed by Nick Fury, Reed clearly felt that the Avengers were hiding something from them.
Turning back and gesturing to the stone man behind him, Reed asked his friend to keep an eye on Johnny. Reed stepped in front of Steve and looked at the Captain America. He tried hard to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart and maintained a calm tone and asked: "Tell me, what exactly did Captain Avenger hide from us? What on earth did Susan..."
"..."
Faced with Reid's question, Steve was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Dr. Reed, the Avengers promise you that we will definitely give Susan to..."
"I don't need your Avengers' guarantee!"
Although Steve tried to comfort him, the effect was obviously not obvious. He broke away from the stone man in front of him, and Johnny Human Torch rushed forward emotionally: "I only have the truth, what happened to Susan?!"
"[Ultimate Creature]!"
His eyes swept across the Fantastic Four, who were in intense mood swings. The expression on Tony's face was silent for a moment, and finally he replied.
"Tony!"
Hearing Tony take the initiative to speak, Natasha instinctively reminded him.
"They should know all this. With the current situation, there is no point in covering it up anymore."
Natasha said something back, Tony turned to look at Reed and Johnny in front of him, and organized his words: "Judging from the information obtained by Hydra, they released a creature named [Ultimate Creature] from the meteorite. The evil existence tried its best to stop the [Ultimate Creature] Hydra, but the result was obviously unsuccessful. In the end, the [Ultimate Creature] escaped from the Hydra base and captured...Susan."
"[Ultimate Creature]? Meteorite!"
The facts he learned from Tony's mouth caused Johnny's already unstable emotions to explode again. He looked at the Avengers in front of him and then at the silent Reed beside him, gritted his teeth and said: "It's that meteorite. It’s all because of that damn meteorite. If you hadn’t been studying the meteorite, Hydra wouldn’t have attacked us, and Susan wouldn’t have been captured by Doctor Doom!”
"Calm down Johnny."
Seeing Johnny's emotions bursting out in front of him, the stone man standing behind him said: "You know this is not true. Even if there is no loss, Doctor Doom will not let us go easily, and Reed doesn't know what's inside the meteorite." The specific circumstances, and even if there is really blame, I am also responsible for bringing the meteorite back to Reed."
"calm?"
Although Ben's words were not wrong, no matter how calmly he persuaded Johnny, it was meaningless to Johnny who was in a fierce mood at the moment.
"How do you ask me to calm down? It is my sister who is in deep crisis now. Of course you guys who have nothing to do with yourself can be calm, but I can't."
Along with the violent fluctuations in emotions, the flames on Johnny's body also began to show a burning state.
"Johnny, the Avengers will definitely..."
Seeing the flames on Johnny's body becoming more and more intense, Steve opened his mouth and tried to comfort him.
"Stop talking, Captain."
With a bang, the Human Torch's entire body was enveloped in flames. Johnny's figure in the raging fire was completely covered by the flames, interrupting Steve's advice. Johnny took one last look at the people in the building: "I I once trusted your captain very much, but I won’t anymore. The Avengers are no longer needed to save Susan, I am enough on my own.”
After saying that, ignoring the Avengers, Fantastic Four and others in front of him, Johnny activated the flames on his body to generate scorching heat and broke through the Avengers Building and flew out.
"Johnny!"
Looking at Johnny flying out, Reed shouted, but the Human Torch, who had already fallen into an extreme state, obviously could not hear anyone's advice. He drew a long flame in mid-air and disappeared into the sky.
…
Raising his brand new arm to make a turning gesture towards the sun, and clenching his fists, Doctor Doom looked at this limb that was no different from his original arm, and his eyes flickered under the steel mask.
"How far away is it from the New York you call it?"
At this moment, a magnetic voice came from behind him.
"It's not far away."
Putting away his new arm implanted by [Kaz], and hearing [Ultimate Creature]'s question, Doctor Doom immediately responded with a respectful attitude.
"I have to say that although you humans are weak, you are not without merit."
After hearing Doctor Doom's answer, he turned around and glanced at the vehicle behind him. A faint expression appeared on [Kazi]'s face: "Although most of the body is still too weak to stop my random movements. attack, but can invent a variety of weapons to fill its weaknesses."
"That's because humans know that they are weak, so they have to use some means to gain a status above animals."
Although on the outside, he completely lost his human appearance due to the radiation from the space storm, deep down, Doctor Doom still believed that he belonged to the human race. Therefore, facing [Kazi]'s inhuman speech, he had to lower his head and hide the look in his eyes to answer.
"That's why I have a soft spot for humans."
Glancing at Dr. Doom who lowered his head with interest, [Kaz] turned his head and glanced at Susan, who was motionless in the car, and said with a smile: "In a sense, humans are the closest to the Pillar Man. As a race, unlike most creatures, humans not only have the most similar appearance to our Pillar Man, but also have considerable intelligence, and even humans who have potential inspired by the power of the mask, in a sense , also gained the power similar to that of the Pillar Man."
"mask?"
The information revealed from [Kaz] made Doctor Doom's expression puzzled under the steel mask.
[Kaz] on the opposite side seemed to have a mind-reading ability to see through Doctor Doom's inner doubts, and then replied: "As for the power of the mask, I think you humans should be familiar with it. In fact, from the past nine From the memory of that guy with the head snake, I also know the names you gave to the humans transformed by the masks I made - vampires."
"vampire?!"
In the Hydra base, Doctor Doom also obtained a lot of information about New York, including some information about vampires.
Because he was no stranger to vampires, but precisely because of this, when he learned from [Kazi] that the existence of vampires actually came from the masks made by [Ultimate Creature], the waves in his heart became even more intense.
The vampire's existence was actually the work of the non-human creature in front of him.
…
"I can't find any trace of him. After that guy turned into flames, he flew much faster than I imagined."
Waving Mjolnir in his hand and returning to the Avengers Tower, Thor met the eyes of the Avengers and shook his head.
"Johnny's speed under full flight is close to the speed of sound, so if he wants to leave, no one can easily stop him."
Facing Thor's answer, Reed was silent in the building and reported his data on Johnny's abilities.
Compared to Johnny who rushed in, Reed was undoubtedly much calmer. Although he was angry at Captain America and the Avengers for deceiving him, he also knew that everyone was doing this to avoid situations like Johnny's.
Although, judging from the results, the situation they tried to prevent still happened.
"Ultron."
Facing Thor's failure, the expression on Tony's face did not change at all, and he shouted to the robot next to him.
"I have locked the Human Torch's movement trajectory through the satellite orbit program. Through route analysis, I can know that he is rapidly heading towards the Hydra base where the Avengers launched their operations. According to the information revealed in the other party's words before, , he may hope to find clues to the disappearance of the invisible woman Susan near the Hydra base."
With a blue light flashing in his eyes, Austrian immediately spoke and reported Johnny's location.
"It seems that my method is more efficient than yours."
After hearing the report given by Ultron, Tony turned his head and glanced at Thor in front of him and said proudly.
"I haven't come to you yet about your use of the power of the scepter without consent, Stark."
"You have promised me before, Thor, to give me the power of the scepter for a week to study."
Facing Sol's questioning, Tony was obviously well prepared.
"But, I didn't know you could create such a monster through the power of the scepter!"
After saying his description of Ultron, Thor obviously realized his rudeness, and immediately turned to look at the silver robot in front of him and apologized: "I'm sorry, Ultron, I didn't mean to target you."
"I understand, Mr. Saul."
Accepting Thor's apology, Ultron nodded slightly and replied in his still gentle and rational voice: "I can understand your mood at the moment."
"empathy."
Hearing Ultron's answer, Banner on the side couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Ultron's humanized performance undoubtedly proves that the artificial intelligence designed by him and Tony has become a reality.
However, Banner still has some doubts in his heart as to why Ultron appeared. In fact, their previous experiments still encountered bottlenecks, and he argued with Tony for a while, but he didn't expect that Ultron would magically appear during a party.
"Maybe it's because of the scepter?"
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Banner glanced at the scepter on the side, secretly guessing a few things.
…
"Um?"
On the empty kilometers, Doctor Doom sat in the driver's seat and drove the huge off-road vehicle forward.
In the back seat of the car, [Katz] held a magazine from a roadside tavern in his hand, flipping through the contents. Susan beside him blinked her eyes, and the octopus head behind her neck continued to to make contraction movements.
Turning the motorcycle magazine in his hand to the next page, the expression on [Kazi]'s face suddenly changed in the back seat. He raised his head, and [Ultimate Creature]'s keen senses made it easy for him to detect At the slightest change in the sky.
"What's wrong, Lord [Kaz]?"
In the driver's seat, Doctor Doom noticed the changes in [Kaz] behind him, and immediately made a questioning voice.
Seeing the approaching figure clearly through the astonishing dynamic vision of [Ultimate Creature], [Kaz] turned his head and glanced at Susan beside him, with an inexplicable expression on his face.
"It looks like the situation is going to turn out to be more interesting than I thought."
"Wait here a moment."
With these words, [Kaz] put down the magazine in his hand, stood up from the off-road vehicle, opened his arms, and instantly transformed into huge wings under the gaze of Dr. Susan, who had already destroyed him, and waved. Wings, [Katz] left such a sentence in the car, then immediately flapped his wings to generate huge propulsion and flew into the air.
Stopping in the shadow, watching [Kazi] flying away.
In the driver's seat, Doctor Doom looked up through the rearview mirror and glanced at Susan, who was motionless in the rear seat. The eyes under the steel mask flickered for a moment, and finally glanced at his arm that came from [Kaz], and the thoughts that were about to happen were suppressed again.
And in the blind spot that Doctor Doom couldn't see, behind Susan's neck, the weird octopus head blinked its eyes, and saw that Doctor Doom didn't make any movement, then twisted its head and shrunk itself again of tiny tentacles.
