There is no doubt that for the Avengers, this trip to Baator Hell can definitely be regarded as an out-and-out nightmare.
Due to insufficient preparation and lack of understanding of the abilities, talents and magic systems of each race, they are simply unable to adapt to this complex, changeable, dangerous environment and full of fraud and traps.
Take Captain America as an example. The reason why he was trapped in the mind flayer's slavery circle was because he lacked the most basic vigilance and was deceived by a shape-shifter disguised as a beautiful and weak elf girl, allowing the other party to trap the "garland" in it.
On your own neck.
You don't need to ask to know that what is hidden in that "garland" is the famous slave collar.
Not to mention himself, even the most vigilant Black Widow in the team didn't notice anything was wrong until the collar completely merged with flesh and blood, causing Steve Rogers to leave the team and go to a strip club.
There are many similar deceptions and traps in the huge cyberpunk city.
As long as you leave the safe zone, you will encounter them one after another before long, making it difficult to guard against them.
What's even more terrible is that there are countless ways to read memories and thoughts in this environment filled with arcane magic, divine magic, psychic powers, and innate spell-like abilities.
This means that when those "hunters" decide to take action, they often already know the target "prey" very well and know how to deceive the other party's trust.
If you don't have the corresponding resistance, immunity and magic equipment, it's basically like running naked on the street.
Especially those who have been in the dark streets and gray areas for a long time, as long as they have money, they will try to buy a necklace, amulet, ring, belt, helmet and the like that are immune to psychic power.
Otherwise, if you step in with the front foot, the brain with the back foot will become a book that can be read by others at will, and there will be no secrets hidden at all.
But the members of the Avengers obviously don't have both, and they are still involved in the battles between gangs, mercenaries and adventurers without knowing anything. At the same time, they unscrupulously destroy and trample the rules of the underworld during the investigation process.
.
Basically, it can be said that the DEBUFF stack is full.
If it weren't for their background as People's Union, and People's Union is an important customer of Bato Hell Bank, it is very likely that they would not be able to survive even one day.
Fortunately, this group of superheroes has now returned to the safe zone and is sitting in a restaurant on the top floor of a building eating. By the way, they are listening to the newly sent permanent representative talk about the civil war that broke out on the earth not long ago, as well as the current situation.
international situation.
"You mean... the reason why Hydra was able to parasitize in SHIELD and almost seize the supreme power was all caused by us? Was it the Operation Paperclip launched by Peggy and Howard that led to all of this?
"
Captain America felt bad after hearing how the Hydra organization cut off one head and grew two heads.
You must know that in order to stop the Red Skull, he risked his own life.
But what’s the result?
Not only did those bastards who committed crimes against humanity not receive the punishment they deserve, they were also ordered to join S.H.I.E.L.D. and live a life of high salary and benefits while continuing to engage in the research they loved.
What Steve Rogers couldn't accept even more was that it was his beloved girlfriend and best friend who did this.
If it was only my body and self-esteem that were hurt by being controlled to sell my butt before, then now I feel really sad.
Because he felt betrayed by the country he was loyal to and everyone he trusted.
Even the so-called memorials and propaganda are full of irony and black humor.
The colors and symbols of the Stars and Stripes that he was proud of on his shield and uniform made him look like a ridiculous clown.
The representative smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, we brought all this on ourselves.
But this cannot be blamed on the people who made the decision at the time.
After all, the top scientific researchers have always been the object of competition among various countries.
Especially after the end of World War II, the two super military powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, began an all-out Cold War and confrontation.
At this time, whoever can absorb the knowledge, technology and talents left behind by the defeated Germany faster and better will gain a huge advantage in the next competition.
Hence Operation Paperclip.
Who would have thought that a group of scientists would all be loyal supporters of Hydra's creed, and even quietly infiltrate and develop within SHIELD?
But fortunately it's finally over.
Although today's Hydra leader Grant Ward often makes some unnatural remarks and vigorously promotes human supremacy, he advocates that we should go beyond the earth to explore the stars and carry out a series of activities including trade and colonization just like in the Age of Discovery.
Series of activities.
But generally speaking, he is not an unreasonable lunatic or a lunatic, but his thoughts and ideas are a little bit radical.
And his speech is really contagious.
According to polls, his support rate has skyrocketed from less than 10% at the beginning to 37% today, and he is very likely to become the supreme leader of mankind in the future."
"Let a hydra lead all mankind?
Oh my god!
So why did we fight so hard against Nazi Germany and Hydra led by Johann Schmidt?
You must know that that war resulted in the death of millions of passionate young people in many countries.
But now all their sacrifices no longer have any meaning.
This is blasphemy!
It's an insult!
It is a trampling on their lives and dignity!"
After saying these words that contained anger and dissatisfaction, Steve Rogers stood up angrily and left without looking back.
His move obviously startled the representative, who quickly shouted: "Where are you going?"
"Go get a drink!"
There was obviously great resentment in Captain America's voice.
But you can't blame him.
If anyone learns that the great just cause they have fought for and the countless comrades who sacrificed their lives for it have been completely denied, they will inevitably have negative emotions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is also the most terrifying thing about historical nihilism.
In fact, he didn't go crazy directly, and his madness was considered to be very restrained.
In contrast, the rest of the team's impressions of Hydra were only in documents and books, so they didn't have any unforgettable hatred, and naturally they wouldn't react as violently as Captain America.
After a brief silence, Tony Stark pointed out the window at the soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms who were lining up to enter a building, and asked in an uncertain tone: "What's going on with these soldiers? Judging from the size, they should be at least a few."
Ten thousand people?"
"They are here to undergo intensive transformation.
We now need to build an army, an army that can win space wars.
The Astartes Space Marines have already proven their worth in previous civil wars.
According to the plan of the New People's Alliance, 50,000 of the most elite active troops will arrive in Baator Hell.
This is part of the latest loan agreement to strengthen our landing combat capabilities.
They will become the sharpest sword and strongest shield for colonial development, protecting the interests of all mankind from alien civilization.
In addition, the Awami League also passed a bill allowing the use of clones to form an army.
At present, there are more than 50 million high-quality embryos in a state of rapid development in the huge artificial uterus group.
After up to six months, these embryos will grow into qualified soldiers and receive training.
In other words, one year later, we will launch the first colonial war to harvest souls to repay the huge debt."
The representative did not hide anything and openly stated all the plans of the People's Federation.
Because based on the information obtained from the Skrulls, the top leaders of the Human League already know that all decent forces in the universe basically have special individuals similar to superheroes.
If the people on earth want to fight against it, or even kill or capture it, they must rely on the power of the Avengers.
So whether it is Hydra or representatives from other countries, what they want to do now is to transform the Avengers from passive defense to active attack.
But this is obviously not an easy thing.
Because they want to fight a war of aggression, invade the planets of other alien civilizations, and massacre the aliens living on them.
This is obviously a huge black spot morally.
In particular, not all members of the Avengers are agents who do dirty work like Hawkeye and Black Widow.
