Chapter 321: The Fourth Power of Ethics (Part 2)

"I'm not exaggerating. A large-scale war between cosmic demons is about to begin, and the nearest battlefield is within the Ninth Kingdom. We must start preparing for war."

"Even if Kamar-Taj never participates in anything other than protecting the Earth, we must first make sure we can protect ourselves. The new apprentices don't even know how to use ribbons, and even the experienced mages are a lot less skilled. We must hurry up and mobilize..."

In the Kamar-Taj Hall, Strange said to the king with a serious face: "Time is running out for Kamar-Taj. . "

The king's face was very gloomy. He said: "I have received news from the Supreme Sorcerer. Recently, there has been a lot of panic in the universe. It seems that many races have received this news. You are right. Protecting the earth is Kamar-Taj's innate responsibility. We have to start preparing. "

Soon, in the main hall of Kamar-Taj, one after another, the eucalyptus fell, and the great wizards wearing robes and hoods sat down one by one. The cushion in the center of the hall was reserved for the Supreme Sorcerer, but this time it was Strange who sat on it, and no one had any objection to this.

Although this was the first time Strange had called a meeting with everyone in Kamar-Taj, his voice was still very steady. He said, "I think everyone should have understood the current situation. Kamar-Taj is a pure land independent of any power in the universe. Although there is the Supreme Sorcerer to coordinate externally, the duty of guarding the land cannot be slackened."

One of the female mages in a navy blue robe spoke first: "I have learned from the ancient Protoss that the war is about to break out. Strange, the Ancient One has gone to the universe to confirm the news, and she left all the backup matters of Kamar-Taj to you, which proves that she trusts you very much."

Another male mage with a low voice also said: "Yes, Strange, your talent and ability are obvious to all. This will be the biggest test before you ascend to the position of Supreme Sorcerer. I believe you are not We will be disappointed."

Strange nodded and said, "Although I am still inexperienced and my ability cannot be compared with yours, I have to act in an emergency..."

"I declare that the Kamar-Taj Earth Defense Network and all the major wizard temples around the world are fully on combat readiness, and all wizards are on standby..."

"All wizards are not allowed to leave the Earth without permission, and magic apprentices must stay within the defense network. All treasures, weapons, and supplies must be reported to the king one by one after they are fully prepared..."

"Everyone, the war is about to begin."

"The war is about to begin?" Stark looked at Schiller with a puzzled look on his face and said, "I have been in seclusion for a few days to upgrade my armor, why is there a war?"

Schiller shook his head, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the Stark Tower laboratory, looked at the street below, his tone was a little low.

"Nothing in the universe will stagnate because of human weakness and backwardness."

"Just like when humans start a war, they will not consider the thoughts of an ant, even though this may bring disaster to it and its tribe."

Stark, who has seen the scenery from a high place, knows better than anyone how big the universe is and how small humans are, but as a member of this civilization, he wants to protect the earth and make humans stronger than anyone else. …

Stark sighed and said, "Even if the main human civilization has not received any warning, the magic side should always..."

"Do you want to rely on those wizards?" Schiller shook his head and said, "Through Strange, you should know that there are very few people in the entire human race who can learn magic, and those who can learn magic well and use the power of magic to protect the earth are even rarer."

Stark looked up at Schiller and said, "That's why I have always believed that the way out for human civilization lies in technology and machinery."

"Then use the machinery and technology that you are best at to protect our civilization. Now is the time when you need to do this the most, isn't it?"

Stark took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it. He did not rush to the laboratory as he did in the past, hoping to produce a result in one minute.

He stood there, standing very straight, as if there was a power bursting out from his soul. There was no pride in Stark's tone, he was just stating a fact:

"I have always wanted to use my wisdom to guide human civilization and protect the earth."

"But the reason why I have not taken effective action so far is not that I can't do it, but that I don't know how to control the strength so that this protection will not destroy everything."

Schiller continued his words: "Of course I know, just like people must control their strength to avoid crushing ants."

"But now, you can liberate part of your wisdom to provide reliable protection for the earth in the war, which is not too much, or even if you use your wisdom to help human civilization develop a little faster, I think it doesn't matter."

Stark sighed and said: "So, this is your purpose? Use the external cosmic crisis to force the earth to unite and develop internally?"

"As expected of you, you are a multiverse-level Stark. It seems that nothing can escape your eyes. I am a little doubtful now. Have you really been demoted? Or, above the only one, once proved, forever proved?"

"Don't doubt it. I guessed it. If it wasn't you who did it, you wouldn't let it happen, let alone come here and provoke me..."

"Just tell me whether you will do it or not. If you don't, I can find someone else to do it. Anyway, you are not the only genius in the world..."

Before Schiller finished speaking, Stark had already turned around and walked back to the laboratory. Schiller smiled and shook his head and said, "It seems that promotion can't cure tsundere."

God In the office of the Director of SHIELD, Pierce put out the cigarette in his hand and frowned, saying: "Are you telling the truth? The universe will start a large-scale war, and the earth..."

"That's exactly what I want to say. We must have a professional team to deal with such a crisis. You and I know that this is not something that ordinary people can get involved in, not even the army."

Pierce frowned deeply. Even though he was well-mannered, anxiety began to spread on his face. After all, the news brought by Nick was too shocking. He couldn't even imagine what the war between the universe's demons would be like, not to mention a large-scale demon melee.

"I know that the Security Council has always had concerns about this. I can understand you. After all, superheroes are a group that is inherently uncontrollable. After they unite, they may cause greater chaos. I understand all this..."...

"But now, the facts are in front of us. In addition to uniting these superheroes with special powers, we have no other way out."

Pierce's fingers kept tapping on the table. After a few minutes, he sighed and said, "Okay, I think our interests are the same. Nick, I will withstand the pressure from representatives of other member states for you at the Security Council meeting, but you must guarantee that the team you have formed will be used in the right way..."

"Pierce, you know, I need someone to do the dirty work..."

"That's your business. I have given you the greatest power within my authority. Don't let me down, Nick."

Pierce looked into Nick's eyes and said, "We have known each other for many years. I know you very well. I know you have doubts about me recently. This is normal because our positions have changed and the relationship can no longer be so simple."

"But when it comes to the future of the race and the safety of the earth, our interests are always the same. I have not forgotten my original intention of joining SHIELD..."

"Me too."

One black and one white hand clasped together, their eyes blended together, and they both became more determined in their thoughts.

Following their line of sight down, through the layers of SHIELD floors, and then into SHIELD's underground reception center, then turn east and enter Hell's Kitchen.

In Matt Daredevil's base, Steve knocked on his shield to attract everyone's attention. He said, "SHIELD's plan to form a superhero team has begun to be implemented. As long as Nick confirms that he has the support of the Security Council, he will start recruiting members."

"I came here. Just want to convince you two..." Steve looked at Spider-Man and Daredevil, and he said in a very sincere tone: "I hope you two can join the superhero team and serve as the backbone of this team to deal with the possible cosmic war crisis."

"I don't trust SHIELD." Matt said very bluntly: "I don't trust any similar institutions."

Peter turned his head and looked at Matt, he looked at Steve again, and then he asked hesitantly: "Are you Say, there's going to be a war in the universe? SHIELD formed this team to protect the earth, can I understand it this way? "

"That's right, we can't expect outsiders to protect us, we have to protect ourselves."

"If that's the case, I'll join." Peter pursed his lips and said, "After all, the simplest truth is that if the earth is finished, everyone will be finished."

As he said, he turned his head to look at Matt, and Matt stared at Steve's face and said, "I really don't trust SHIELD... but I trust you and Nick, I'll join."

In Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Charles took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. He turned his wheelchair and planned to go back to his room to sleep. At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. He picked up his mobile phone from the table next to him and heard a strange voice coming from the other side.

"Hello, is this Professor Charles?"

"Yes, I am. Do you want to talk to me?"

"Hello, I am Schiller Rodriguez, the special psychological consultant of SHIELD. The purpose of calling you is to tell you about the recent changes in the universe. Unfortunately, we have received a reliable news from Asgard that there will be a melee in the universe soon, and this may affect the earth..."

"So?" Charles asked with a frown.

"Don't be nervous, Professor Charles, maybe you are more willing to communicate with my other identity. I asked such a question in the forum of psychology and education..."

Before Schiller finished speaking, Charles asked: "Is it you? How are those children?"

"One of them has improved a lot, and the others are still under observation and treatment. Professor Charles, this time I am..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything, what do you need me to do?"

Schiller paused, and he asked: "Why do you trust me so much? Aren't you worried that all this is a conspiracy of SHIELD?"

"If you have tried to treat some children with psychological problems and achieved remarkable results, then I don't think you are a bad person, and I am willing to talk to you."

"Professor Schiller, see you later."
