Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 265 Guarantee
"Vision?" The captain looked at the bionic man who appeared next to Colt in surprise.

"Captain." Vision seemed to greet him as usual.

The captain frowned, he felt something was wrong, why did Vision choose to help him?

"Vision's logic will not be disturbed by too much outside, so he can make the most reasonable choice, and helping us solve the Hydra problem is the most important job now." Colt explained, "Captain, Let's talk alone."

Although he still had some doubts, the captain chose to believe for the time being.

The two went to another room together.

"I have downloaded a lot of relevant information from the Avengers' database through Vision. Although Tony has responded and locked me out, I still got a lot of things." He showed the files on the computer, "So, I did some research on the Cosmic Cube with these data."""

"Did you find anything?" The captain asked quickly.

"It can't be said that there are any clear discoveries." Colt frowned, "But there are indeed some things that don't seem so reasonable."

"What's unreasonable?" the captain asked.

"Captain, you should know what the Cosmic Cube is, right?" Colt didn't answer directly, but asked instead.

"Hmm." The captain nodded, "Is there any problem with an artifact that fulfills all wishes of the holder?"

"Yes, an artifact that grants all wishes." Colt repeated.

Seeing that the captain still doesn't know why.

"Isn't it obvious?" Colt said. "If all wishes were granted, do you think we have any hope of turning things around now?"

The captain suddenly realized.

"If I were Hydra, I mean, put in the thinking of Red Skull Zemo or something, and got the Cosmic Cube, I would immediately wipe out all the superheroes in the world, and then directly create a Hydra rule World, why bother trying to just sneakily control a president?"

"So, you mean, they didn't actually get the Cosmic Cube?" The captain was a little surprised.

"Perhaps, but this doesn't explain why the president has become what he is now." Colt shook his head, "I'm more inclined, their Cosmic Cube may be insufficient in energy, or there may be other reasons. So powerful, of course, maybe the so-called Cosmic Cube is not that strong at all, it can only change reality to a certain extent and satisfy your wishes.

"Even, I am more inclined to the last explanation. After all, in the wishing stories of all cultures, these so-called wishing machines that can satisfy all wishes are just traps. The wishes they fulfill will either be in unexpected places. leading to the exact opposite result.

"If it's a fable, then the wishing machine will lead you in a direction that you can reverse, for example, if you wish for money, you will get money, but you will lose all your friends and so on.

"All in all, judging from the current situation, the Cosmic Cube is likely to have certain limits. I even suspect that its so-called modification of reality is probably just a certain degree of deception and illusion. It does not want to control a person. It's not a particularly difficult operation."

"I understand." The captain nodded, "But, what use is this for us? Or, what can we do with it?"

"This is very important. As long as I can figure out how the Cosmic Cube modifies reality, maybe I will be able to reverse all this and restore the president to normal. If I can do it, we won't need to sneak around underground anymore. ’” Colter said. “So, I’m looking into all the history of the president.”

The captain nodded.

"Also." Colt handed him a map, "This is all the recent energy anomalies on the earth that I obtained through the Avenger's satellite at the last time, after excluding some known reasons, no matter What happened, even though the Cosmic Cube is far less powerful than it is said to be, it still emits powerful energy, which means it must be hidden somewhere here.

"I think, when I study the working principle of the Cosmic Cube, you may go to these places to try your luck." Colt said, "The scarlet spider stays with me, you go to investigate, remember to be careful of the Avengers, these things are I stole it from them, so I'm afraid Tony and the others have similar plans."

"Okay." The captain took the map and walked out of the room.

"I didn't expect you to let me stay and help you." Scarlet Spider stepped out, "I thought you would let me avoid the secret of the Cosmic Cube."

"What are you thinking?" Colt glanced back at him, "I kept you by my side just to prevent you from touching the Cosmic Cube, Otto.

"What's more, the only one who can help me here is you."

"Hmph." Scarlet Spider snorted coldly, "You're really not good at motivating teams."

"Do you need my encouragement?" Colt dismissively said, "I said, we each get what we need, and only I can give you what you want. But this does not mean that I believe in you, I know you Who is Otto, how could I give you the Cosmic Cube?"

"Forget it." Scarlet Spider walked away, and he sat in front of another computer, "What do you want me to do?"

……

Zora watched carefully the fight between the captain and the sheriff on the streets of New York.

"Why...why..." the mouth on the screen on his chest kept chanting.

Zola couldn't figure out what the meaning of this battle was. They didn't use the victor's posture to try to persuade the sheriff and tell the sheriff the truth. After severely defeating the Sheriff, he hurried away.

As for why they fled after victory, Zola was very clear.

They don't want to confront the Avengers head-on, even if they have a tacit understanding with each other, they can't put all this on the bright side.

the Avengers……

He suddenly realized something.

"What's the matter?" A cautious yet impatient voice came from the screen, Natasha's face was full of dissatisfaction, "The current situation is very delicate, if you contact me like this, I may be exposed!"

"I have a reason to contact you." Zola replied, "Have the Avengers done anything lately?"

"Speaking of this..." Natasha thought for a while, "Indeed there are."

"Although they are very defensive against me now, I can hardly get any core information, but even so, I can still know a lot of things." She replied thoughtfully, "For example, recently, the entire network system of the Avengers It's all offline, I don't know what happened, but I can tell you for sure, it was Tony, they seem to be dealing with some serious cyber attack."

"Cyber ​​attack?" Zola pondered.

"Didn't you do it?" Natasha asked, "I thought this was your next move after framing the captain and Scarlet Spider, for example, stealing the Avengers' confidential information, and then looking for Some specious things, fabricated conspiracy theories that only fools would believe, you know, like the article you wrote about the captain."

"It's too late, now our goal has been achieved, we don't need to intervene too much, the fire is already lit, and it will burn everything by itself," Zola said.

"That's not you, who else could it be?" Natasha wondered, "Do you think anyone else would attack the Avengers besides you? Sheriff? Cyclops probably doesn't have this ability?"

"Can't you imagine?" Zola narrowed her eyes and looked at the woman on the screen, "The captain is not alone."

"You mean. Colt attacked the Avengers?" Natasha couldn't believe it. "What was his purpose? It doesn't make sense."

"Okay, I understand. Zemo will contact you for your follow-up mission." After speaking, Zola hung up.

"I see." Zola snorted, "No wonder he took the initiative to attack the sheriff."

He understood that Colt's purpose was only to be able to find an opportunity to give the Avengers a good enough reason to leave their pursuit.

This is not good news.

They've barely gotten to their current advantage using the Cosmic Cube, turning superheroes into enemies of society.

He knows what the Avengers can do when they unite.

Hydra has failed many times in the past, and they have taken advantage countless times in the past, but they were eventually overturned.

Even if he was as proud as Zola, he had to admit that he was indeed a little weaker than Tony Pimbana and his like, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to take every step steadily without leaving even the slightest opening for the opponent.

So this time, if you want to successfully implement your plan, the most critical step is to find a strong enough opponent for the Avengers, so that they can't tell the difference.

Zola originally thought that after the captain was framed, Pym or Banner would probably choose to follow him and leave, especially since he had encouraged the military to attack Hulk before, and the captain was undoubtedly one of the people who supported Hulk. , even if it is as a favor, Banner should choose to stand up.

However, a small error occurred in the plan, Banner and Pim both stood on the side of the Avengers, and the captain was about to become a loner.

However, fortunately, I don't know why Colt appeared at this time. Although Zola still had a little distrust of this young super-brainer before, he doubted that even as Reed's apprentice, Colt would still Too young, and his experience will be the main reason for restraining him.

This will lead to a disadvantage when confronting the more sophisticated Avengers, and then be easily captured and defeated.

However, from the present point of view, Zola can only sigh with emotion that he is indeed the apprentice chosen by Reed. His action plan may not be as hopeless as Reed's, but it can also be said to be rigorous without leaving any flaws.

However, in this way, a new problem has arisen.

At first, he was worried that Colt was too weak, even if the Avengers released the water, he would not be able to catch it, but now, the problem has turned in another direction. He is very strong, strong enough to cooperate with the Avengers to release the water intentionally or unintentionally, but instead It gave the Avengers and him a reason to jointly deal with him in the dark again.

He sighed, even if it was just to balance the strength of the two parties so that they could keep fighting, it was not that simple.

Although he has always been very clear that he will never be the opponent of the Avengers if he sees the tricks, so it is the right way to make good use of the existing advantages and achieve the goal before the opponent has time to break all his plans, but now , he still had to make some patches for the problems in his plan.

"The most important thing is to undermine their support in society."

Even being forced to make some adjustments, Zola's head remained clear.

……

"I am disappointed!"

Inside the White House, Old Voss was furious, and he pointed at Cyclops in front of him.

"You really can't catch that group of people?" He roared angrily, "Or, you don't want to catch them!"

"I tried my best." O'Grady leaned on crutches and had bandages on his hands.

Old Voss knew exactly who he was, and ignored this "superhero" who was largely scum.

"Tell me why you can't take Wolverine!" His main anger was directed at Red Hulk Cross.

"Wolverine is a difficult opponent." Red Hulk said without changing his face, "Even in a fair one-on-one fight, I would need to spend a lot of energy to defeat him, and even if I don't pay attention, I may defeated by him.

"And this time, I also need to take care of the waste among us who was cornered by a person who has no combat power at all."

"I pinned down two people!" O'Grady immediately retorted, "Why don't you talk about the 'captain' who had his glasses blown off at the beginning and didn't contribute anything from the beginning to the end?"

"Enough!" roared Old Voss, "Get out!"

Looking at the sheriff who was about to leave with his head down, he added: "Cyclops and John stay."

After the others left, Old Voss sat back at his desk.

"Scott, you should understand very well that the sheriff is not just my dream and goal." Old Voss seemed to be a little tired and propped his head on his hands, "I gave you a chance, this is the opportunity for the entire mutant .”

"Yes." Cyclops bowed his head.

"This is the last time." Old Voss raised his head, "I hope you can fulfill the responsibilities you should have as a leader.

"I know this team has a lot of problems, they do have a lot of problems, but that's why I need you.

"So, stop screwing up, okay?"

"I will do my best." Cyclops looked extremely serious, "I promise, I will catch Steve Rogers and his accomplices."
