Azerath Universe.
Sky City.
Since the war with Dark Dimension ended, this place has entered a state of repair.
All kinds of Guardians people who are keen on research have devoted their energy to studying the matter and energy plundered from Dark Dimension.
For them, these substances and energies are very different from the forms and properties that exist in the normal universe. Whether they are used to improve their own strength or to build weapons and equipment, they are very good raw materials.
On the other side, those lost war weapons and troops also need to be resurrected and replenished.
Suddenly, everyone was busy nervously, and the usual lazy atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
Soul Furnace, in particular, works at full capacity almost twenty-four hours a day, just to digest the souls of the creatures plundered from Dark Dimension and transform them into a steady stream of soul energy.
no way!
Even though these souls only account for less than one-sixth of Dark Dimension, the base number is really too huge.
As for the remaining parts, they are all compressed within that Singularity.
Just when Allen was thinking about how to deal with this thing, some trending reports on the Internet and social media sent by Sakura personally interrupted his thoughts.
I saw the front page headlines of all the mainstream news media, which prominently published the photo of "Red Giant" Ross, as well as the horrifying scene of corpses piled up behind him.
And the title is even more sensational.
Obviously, less than 150 people died in total, which may not be as many as the number of civilians accidentally injured by a large-scale bombing by the US Army when it invaded other countries.
But in the media controlled by these capitals, it seems like millions of people died.
If Ross cannot be brought to justice, the entire world will fall into turmoil and chaos.
They even shouted Avengers from a distance, asking them to take action to deal with this "huge" threat quickly to ensure the personal safety of these "respected" gentlemen and ladies.
There is no doubt that this brutal massacre frightened those capital interest groups who hid behind the scenes and enjoyed exploitation, oppression and plunder.
They even did not hesitate to use the power of public opinion to morally kidnap the superheroes of the Avengers Alliance.
After all, this kind of practice that does not negotiate conditions, does not compromise, and does not accept surrender, is just pure killing, and killing the entire family is exactly what their family, which relies on blood inheritance, cannot bear.
"Interesting! I didn't expect Ross and Lena to lock the target so quickly and choose to take action." Allen commented expressionlessly.
He felt absolutely nothing about the deaths of these people.
Because everyone who can join this kind of private banquet is basically a capital group rooted in United States for at least a hundred years.
Almost every one of them had their hands stained with the blood of innocent people, and some of their fathers were involved in businesses such as selling drugs to the East, or bloody suppressing early workers' strikes. Even ten thousand deaths would not be enough to repay the blood debt.
Some people may think that the sins committed by our predecessors have nothing to do with future generations.
But Allen believes that if these descendants do not inherit and enjoy a little bit of the sinful wealth of their parents, then the relationship can naturally be eliminated.
But if it is inherited, then these sins will be transferred with the wealth.
"Tony·Stark just sent an angry message, asking how this matter should be handled. He is obviously very dissatisfied with this kind of massacre." Sakura truthfully conveyed Iron Man's meaning.
It was obvious from her nonchalant attitude that she didn't care at all.
"Tell him that there is no revolution in the world that does not require bloodshed. When one class overthrows the rule of another class, it is bound to carry out brutal purges, otherwise the latter will use the social resources and wealth they occupy to destroy and interfere with it. If he can't accept it, then I don't mind purging his memory and letting Hydra completely take over the situation."
When saying these words, Allen did not hide his dissatisfaction with Iron Man's "naiveness" at all.
"Aren't you afraid that this guy will confront you?" Sakura asked slightly curiously.
Allen smiled and shrugged, "Why should I be afraid? Although Tony·Stark is one of the very few truly smart people, his level is too low and he is not worthy of being my opponent at all. What's more, Infinity War is about to start. He will soon I will not bother to pay attention to Hydra, but I will face Thanos who holds Infinity Stones. Oh, by the way, if it is convenient, take the time to bring Red Skull to your Empire and arrange a position for him. It will also fulfill my previous promise."
"Are you really going to hand over a universe Empire to Hydra when you leave?" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise.
"That's right! In any case, Hydra is also an organization composed entirely of humans and represents a trend of thought in human society. I plan to give them a chance to prove themselves." Allen replied in the affirmative with a smile.
"Okay, I will arrange it. However, the aliens who have been transformed by Monster Cells are all a bit unruly, and it may be difficult for an outsider to make them obey. I feel that even with my order, John Schmidt will not be able to control this Empire for long, and will soon be overthrown or divided. After all, he lacks the most critical power." Sakura made a bold prediction.
Even though the New Empire she built appears to be extremely powerful, in fact it is full of internal contradictions and has not even completed the most basic integration.
Whether it is national identity or ideological unity, they are still stuck in the past.
In other words, the so-called New Empire is just a huge Alliance, and each planet is added for its own benefit.
It's just that these contradictions were eventually overshadowed by Sakura's strong personal strength as Queen and her extremely exaggerated record.
When she disappears, these hidden mines will detonate one after another, which will test the political wisdom and skill of the supreme ruler.
But Allen didn't care about this, and responded meaningfully, "It doesn't matter. Letting Hydra take over your empire is just a social experiment. If it succeeds, the people on earth will naturally become a powerful force in the universe. Even if it fails, it can also help the earth." The rulers of the world provide some lessons. Compared with this, I am more concerned about when Odin will die. You know that Artoria has been practicing swordsmanship every day and can't wait to have a free fight with the goddess of death. "
"She dragged you to training again?" Sakura asked, suppressing a smile.
"Yeah! I'm almost bored to death. You know, she's very serious about everything she does, and she doesn't take it seriously. I spend more than an hour every day just repairing and reinforcing the space." Allen rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
Now he finally understands what it means to make oneself miserable.
"Do you need me to send that All-Father Odin on his last journey?" Sakura's eyes flashed with danger.
"Forget it. I don't want you to bully an old man whose life span is about to come to an end. What's more, Odin doesn't have much strength left now." Allen quickly shook his head to stop him.
Sakura shrugged her shoulders regretfully. "That's a pity. It seems that there is nothing fun to do recently to kill the boring time. Besides, your little lover has been asking Sky City's Guardians about our past experiences and the world we have been to."
"You mean Wanda?" Allen raised his head and glanced at his adopted daughter, then smiled and shook his head. "Correct two points. First, she is not my lover, at least not yet. Second, the decision of whether to join is not in her hands, but in mine."
"Oh? Not lovers? What about your relationship?" Sakura pursed her lips with a devilish smile.
"Probably... it can be considered as more friends than lovers. And I'm not sure whether those energies can really work after completely absorbing Dark Dimension." As he said that, Allen turned his attention to Singularity floating in front of him.
Just after the decisive battle with Dormammu, he once asked Red Dragon about his physical and mental changes after absorbing Dark Energy.
As a result, Vilnalasath only gave some inferences and guesses, and there was no guarantee that his desires would return to normal after devouring Dark Dimension.
Sakura stretched out her hand and felt the huge energy contained in Singularity, and suddenly said, "Why not give it a try?"
"Try? Haven't you always disliked Wanda?" Allen asked with interest.
"Because I'm more looking forward to seeing you acting like a normal person than not liking her. You know? Although you have been trying to maintain your human identity, as your strength continues to increase, you will inevitably gradually lose your humanity. I'm worried that if this continues, one day you will leave us all alone and leave alone. But if you have desire and care, your humanity will slowly recover. After all, humans are a race driven by desire."
Sakura solemnly expressed her worries.
If that day came, she felt that she might not be able to accept the cruel reality and go completely crazy.
Looking at those lavender eyes, Allen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After a full minute, he raised his head and comforted with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't become what you imagined. As for this Singularity, let's put it away first. If I swallow it now, it will definitely be sensed by Demon God in other dimensions, which is not conducive to the implementation of the next plan."
"Understood!"
Sakura was obviously very happy to receive the promise. She took the initiative to bend down and kiss Allen on the cheek, then turned around and disappeared into the portal.
As soon as she walked away, Allen pointed at the door of the room and said, "Come in, I know you are outside."
Instantly!
The closed door was slowly pushed open, and Wanda, wearing a red low-cut magic robe, walked in with an embarrassed look on his face, and explained with a blushing face, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, I just happened to come to see you."
"It doesn't matter, you didn't hear anything anyway." Allen waved his hand nonchalantly.
For those close to him, he doesn't care so much about personal privacy and confidentiality.
This room located at Central Tower is open to the public all year round, and any Guardians can enter and exit freely.
Hearing these words, Wanda immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully probed. "Why did Yingying come to you just now? She seemed to have kissed you before leaving?"
"Why, are you jealous too? Am I going to experience the Shura field for the first time in my life today?" Allen couldn't help but joke.
"No! What I mean is... her feelings for you are obviously not like a simple daughter's attachment to her father." Wanda mustered up the courage to make this matter clear.
"I've known about this for a long time. But the problem is, when I met Sakura, she was just a little kid. Here, this is a photo of her back then." Allen directly picked up a photo of himself and the young Sakura on the table.
moment!
Wanda was attracted by the pitiful-looking little guy in the photo.
Because unlike the "Queen" Sakura who exudes a strong aura now, when she was a child, Sakura was a pitiful little girl who could make anyone want to hug her tightly and love her.
In addition, this photo was taken not long after Ying had just escaped from the control of the old insect, and there was still a touch of fear and awe on her face.
"Oh my God! How did she... how did she become like this?" Wanda opened her mouth in surprise.
There is no way not to be surprised!
If it weren't for the same facial features, pupils and hair color, the personality and temperament shown in the photos would be impossible to connect with the current Sakura.
Allen shrugged and replied, "Maybe I deliberately cultivated her in a strong direction in order to help her get rid of the shadow of her childhood. But accidentally, her personality took a 180-degree turn. To be honest, I really missed Sakura's well-behaved appearance when she was a child."
"I see! I think I understand."
Wanda put the photo back on the table, feeling visibly relieved.
Because unless they are perverted pedophiles, no normal person would have any evil thoughts about such a petite and cute loli.
It should be more about compassion and care.
"So you are relieved now?" Allen had a playful expression on his face.
Wanda blushed slightly and nodded quickly. "Yes!"
"You came all the way to see me, could it be just to ask this?"
Seeing that the other party was so embarrassed that he was about to dig out a two-bedroom apartment on the ground with his toes, Allen decisively chose to change the subject.
"I want to talk to you about Sithorn. Just last night, I dreamed of a scene, a blurry figure in a red space. He kept calling my name, trying to get me close to him. But then I didn't know what happened, and I suddenly woke up from the dream."
When he said these words, Wanda couldn't help but tremble all over.
Because she can feel that when the other party calls her name, the power of Chaos Magic in her body will become more powerful and uncontrollable.
