Nick Fury finally realized something was wrong!
The surveillance signal in the underground hangar has been completely cut off! Moreover, the secret team responsible for guarding the area, who was in direct contact with him, has also lost contact!
not good!
Fury's alarm bells rang! He immediately mobilized the nearest rapid reaction force and rushed towards the underground hangar!
however
When they arrived, all they saw was a chaotic battlefield, several Hydra assassins who had been knocked unconscious, and an empty hangar with its control system completely destroyed!
That Hydra-secretly built "ultimate weapon" capable of threatening the entire world.
That massive sky carrier
It's vanished without a trace!!
"No!!" Fury roared in disbelief as he stared at the empty hangar!
how so? !
Hydra?! Or Lin Tian?!
Who on earth stole such a massive aircraft carrier in such a short time without anyone noticing?!
This is simply unbelievable!
A colossal dereliction of duty! An immeasurable potential threat!
Fury felt like his head was about to explode!
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of meters above Washington, D.C.
A colossal, futuristic-looking aerial fortress silently dispelled its optical camouflage and appeared above the clouds like a prehistoric behemoth!
It was the "Ultimate Hydra" Sky Helicarrier that Lin Tian had "taken over"!
Inside the apartment.
Lin Tian was leisurely sitting in the main seat on the mothership's bridge, enjoying a cup of premium Blue Mountain coffee delivered by a robot.
Wanda and Pietro, like curious children, excitedly ran around the bridge, touching and looking at everything, marveling at this supercarrier full of futuristic technology!
"Zero," Lin Tian commanded into the air, "Activate the maximum power energy shield and stealth system. Then set a course and head to an uninhabited island in the South Pacific."
He needed to find an absolutely safe and secluded place to serve as his future secret base.
This aircraft carrier, while possessing formidable firepower, is also too large a target. It is not suitable for prolonged stays in densely populated areas.
“Yes, Master.” Zero’s voice rang out from the bridge.
The massive sky carrier trembled slightly, and an almost invisible energy shield lit up its body before disappearing back into the air as if it had never existed.
It will fly silently to the South Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles away, at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound.
the next day.
When the news that "a secret underground hangar at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters was burglarized and a super-mothership suspected to be made of alien technology disappeared" was leaked through certain "special channels,"
The whole world was utterly shocked!!
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s credibility plummeted instantly!
Governments around the world have expressed strong condemnation and panic!
A supercarrier with firepower capable of destroying a nation has fallen into the hands of an unidentified force?!
This is like a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of all mankind!
The world has once again descended into chaos and panic.
But Lin Tian, the "mastermind" behind all this, had long since distanced himself from the matter, driving his "new toy" leisurely toward his chosen "paradise."
A new base, a new beginning.
Next
It's time to make good use of the resources at hand and lay a solid foundation for my future journey to the stars.
of course
He should occasionally return to New York to "comfort" those girls who "think of him day and night," shouldn't he?
Lin Tian's lips curled up into an evil smile.
Life is getting more and more interesting.
In the South Pacific, on a secluded volcanic island unmarked on any map.
At the heart of the island lies a massive, extinct volcano. But inside, a completely different world unfolds.
After the initial transformation by "Zero" and the "expansion" and "reinforcement" by Lin Tian using his true qi, the originally empty interior of the volcano has been transformed into a nascent, futuristic secret base!
The massive sky carrier hovered silently in the vast space inside the crater, blending perfectly with its surroundings.
The base's energy is provided by a small "spirit gathering array" set up by Lin Tian and the Ark reactor on the Sky Mothership itself, which is sufficient to support the operation of the entire base and its future expansion.
"Master, the initial construction of the base is complete." Zero's virtual image appeared in front of Lin Tian. "The energy system, defense system, ecological cycle system, and basic laboratory are already operational. The Sky Carrier's weapon system has also been debugged and upgraded."
"Very good." Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction.
Although it is only in its initial stages of construction, the security and secrecy of this secret base far surpass any known military base on Earth.
This will be the starting point for his future conquest of the stars and the sea!
“Wanda, Pietro,” Lin Tian said, looking at the brother and sister who were curiously looking at the various high-tech devices, “From today onwards, this will be our new home.”
Wanda looked at the futuristic base before her, her eyes gleaming with an unusual light.
There is no war, no discrimination, and no shadow of the past here.
Only Lin and her brother.
Perhaps this place can truly become the home she has always longed for?
Although Pietro wasn't as sentimental as his sister, he had to admit that this place was definitely a million times better than that dilapidated church in Sokovia!
Moreover, it seems to contain boundless power and possibilities?
"Do we still need to go back to New York?" Wanda asked cautiously. She was reluctant to leave.
"Of course we're going back," Lin Tian smiled. "There are still many 'interesting' things waiting for us in New York. And..."
He looked at Wanda, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "You haven't avenged yourselves yet, have you?"
Upon hearing the word "revenge," Wanda and Pietro's eyes instantly sharpened again!
That's right! Stark!
They cannot forget the blood feud that killed their parents!
“However, there’s no rush.” Lin Tian waved his hand. “Right now, you all need more ‘reflection’ and ‘accumulation’.”
“In this base, I’ve prepared more advanced ‘training facilities’ for you.” Lin Tian pointed to several special areas under construction deep within the base. “For the next period of time, your task is to thoroughly master your power here!”
“Especially you, Wanda.” Lin Tian’s gaze fell on the Chaos Witch, with a hint of expectation. “The power within you has boundless potential. I hope you can reach ‘that’ realm as soon as possible.”
"That" realm?
Wanda was a little confused, but she nodded vigorously anyway: "Yes! I will definitely try my best! I won't let you down, Lin!"
She longed to become stronger! She longed to truly help Lin!
"Very good." Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction.
In the days that followed, Lin Tian began a new round of "seclusion" and "teaching" in this secluded secret base.
On the one hand, he continued to delve into the mysteries of the Mind Scepter and "Zero," constantly improving his own strength and control over spiritual power.
On the other hand, he used the advanced facilities at the base and his increasingly "refined" dual cultivation skills to conduct more systematic and in-depth "special training" on Wanda and Pietro.
Pietro hones his speed and fighting instincts in "virtual battlefields" that simulate various extreme environments and opponents.
Wanda
Under Lin Tian's "special teaching" of "hands-on" and "personal instruction," his understanding and mastery of chaos magic advanced by leaps and bounds at an unbelievable speed!
She can not only more stably control telekinesis, energy blasts, and create realistic illusions
Even with Lin Tian's tireless efforts to refine the Hehuan True Qi and the energy of the source of life...
She's starting to vaguely touch the edge of altering probabilities, and even slightly distorting reality?!
Of course, the side effect of this "special teaching" is...
Wanda's dependence on and infatuation with Lin Tian reached an unprecedented level.
She considered Lin Tian as almost everything in her life.
Lin Tian's every glance and every word could make her overjoyed or heartbroken.
Even in the dead of night, after the "cultivation" was over
She would willingly, like a docile Persian cat, curl up in Lin Tian's arms and gaze at him adoringly.
It seems they are expecting some kind of further "reward"?
Lin Tian naturally wouldn't let her "down".
After all, balancing work and rest is also part of "cultivation".
And so, time quietly slipped away in the calm yet passionate practice.
And the outside world
However, due to the "bombshells" Lin Tian had dropped earlier, things became even more turbulent.
Chapter 62: Return to New York, a Surprise for the Queens! A Battleground!
The theft of the Helicarrier was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pot of boiling oil, instantly igniting global public opinion!
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s credibility has plummeted, with governments around the world pressuring them to thoroughly investigate the truth, hand over detailed reports on Hydra's infiltration, and take responsibility for the stolen superweapons!
Nick Fury is in a terrible predicament, facing difficulties both domestically and internationally.
On one hand, he had to deal with harsh criticism from the World Security Council and difficulties from certain high-ranking Hydra officials hiding in the shadows.
On the other hand, it is also necessary to appease the internal crisis of trust caused by the Hydra scandal and the turmoil brought about by the purge.
What troubled him even more was that Lin Tian and his stolen aircraft carrier had vanished without a trace, as if a stone had sunk into the sea! No matter how many resources he used, he couldn't find a single clue!
It was as if that man and that aerial fortress had never existed!
This feeling of complete loss of control made Fury, who always had a strong desire for control, feel unprecedented frustration and fear!
He had a vague feeling that an era far more terrifying than the Hydra, or even the Chitauri, might be on the horizon.
The Avengers were also severely fractured by these events.
Steve Rogers has completely lost trust in S.H.I.E.L.D. He has begun to doubt Fury and everything he has done in the past.
He became more silent and more autocratic. He decided to investigate the remnants of Hydra in his own way, and to find the Winter Soldier who might have some connection to him.
Tony Stark, under the double blow of pressure and Pepper's departure, became even more paranoid and insane.
He devoted all his energy to the development of Project Ultron! He firmly believed that only absolute power could bring absolute security!
He wanted to create a perfect, ultimate intelligence that could replace humanity and protect the world! He was completely unaware that he was sliding step by step into a dangerous abyss.
Natasha Romanov's investigation in Europe remained fruitless. Lin Tian was like a ghost, the clues he left behind always leading her astray. Her complex feelings for Lin Tian also tormented her.
On one hand, she hated Lin Tian's womanizing and manipulative nature. On the other hand, she couldn't help but miss him and even longed for his reappearance. This contradictory feeling almost drove her to a mental breakdown.
Hawkeye Clint Barton, on the other hand, was relatively more "detached." He chose to temporarily return to his family, spending time with his wife and children.
Having experienced the Battle of New York and this UN attack, he realized that his family was the thing he needed to protect most.
As for Bruce Banner, he was still trying his best to control the "big guy" inside him and stay away from conflict. But he had a feeling that the peaceful days wouldn't last long.
Besides these "overt" forces
In the dark corners of the world
The remaining forces of Hydra were not completely destroyed by Pierce's exposure and Baron Strucker's disappearance.
Instead, under the influence of some mysterious force, they've begun to stir? It seems they're brewing an even bigger conspiracy?
After experiencing initial fear and humiliation, Loki, who was "released" by Lin Tian, began to stir again in his heart, the heart of the god of mischief.
