Water Torture is an ancient and extremely cruel punishment.
It is said that it can be traced back to the world's first written document Codex "Code of Hammurabi".
Its characteristic is that it is easy to implement. It only needs to use a small amount of water to force the person into a state of suffocation, and it can achieve the purpose of repeatedly torturing the prisoner.
The most important thing is that as long as the scale is controlled properly, Water Torture will not cause permanent damage at all, but the pain will not be reduced at all.
If a person still has high utilization value, then the most ideal way to force him to surrender is Water Torture.
The proud and arrogant Tony·Stark has always thought that he is a tough guy, the kind who can look down upon death.
But after tasting Water Torture, he found that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.
He had never suffered at all since he was a child. He didn't even last ten minutes before he was persuaded by these terrorists using "physical means" and expressed his willingness to build missiles for them.
In fact, torture is called torture because most people simply cannot bear it.
Except for a very small number of heroes who are strong-willed and have the courage to face death, ordinary people's psychological defenses will collapse in the face of intense fear before the torture begins.
Of course, Tony·Stark only agreed verbally.
Secretly, he had already started planning to use the materials provided by the terrorists to build a Iron Man Armor, and then fight his way out of this damn ghost place.
Fellow prisoner Ethan naturally joined in as an assistant.
After all, Tony·Stark can use various means to deceive terrorists who may not have graduated from elementary school, but they can never deceive Ethan, who has a doctorate like himself.
So if Ethan doesn't join, his little tricks will probably be exposed at the beginning.
However, the future Iron Man has no idea that the entire process of making Iron Man Armor is clearly visible to the black cat hiding in the corner, even the craftsmanship of the small Arc Reactor is no exception.
Looking at the picture displayed by the magic projection, Allen asked without looking back, "It's a very interesting design, isn't it?"
A monster with an octopus-like head and tentacles nodded slightly. "I completely agree with your point of view. Although in terms of output power, this Arc Reactor is far inferior to our latest generation of small Nuclear Fusion reactor, it is small enough and can even be installed on any individual weapon and vehicle. If possible, I hope to meet him and copy the knowledge and thinking patterns in his mind."
You don't need to ask to know that he is Guardians who is responsible for technology research and development within the entire Sky City-Aelionteu.
It can be seen from the appearance that its design is inspired by the extremely evil monster in Dungeons & Dragons - Mind Flayer.
The ability is to directly read the thoughts and memories in the target's brain through close contact, thereby inferring the opponent's next strategy Guild through simulation.
He was originally a strategist with Tactical Master.
But Allen felt that it was too wasteful to use this ability in this aspect, so he changed his mind and arranged it to lead technology research and development.
After the accumulation of the previous two worlds, this octopus head has been able to successfully simulate the thinking patterns of many talented scientists.
"Don't worry, we have more important things at the moment, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." After that, Allen turned off the magic projection, turned around and looked at Sakura, who had just appeared in front of him through magic teleportation. "How about it, are you all ready?"
"Of course! I promise to make this so-called envoy stunned and never dare to be cautious again." Sakura gave a straightforward answer in the affirmative.
Allen nodded with satisfaction. "Very good! Then let us welcome the representatives of the most powerful countries in the world."
The words just fell!
A row of more than a dozen cars came closer and closer under the cover of darkness, and stopped directly on the street only a hundred meters away from Wonderful House.
Apparently, in order not to attract the attention of the surrounding residents, they chose to visit after midnight when there were few people around.
When the car door opened, the surrounding folded space instantly expanded to its limit, encompassing the entire street.
Coulson, who had just pushed Opening Gate out of the car, and all the representatives could not help but widen their eyes, looking at the endless sea of flowers in front of them and the white tower standing in the center of the sea of flowers.
The most important thing is that there is actually a shining sun on the top of the tower, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.
In the outside world, which is only one step away from them, it is still a black night.
The light seemed to be completely isolated by some invisible force, without even the slightest penetration.
"This... is this the temporary base they spent a few days renovating?" A Security Council representative opened his mouth wide with an expression of disbelief.
He simply couldn't imagine how high the other party's technological level must reach to achieve the level in front of him.
"That's right! According to the other party, opening up an auxiliary space is basically as easy for them as eating and drinking. So when we meet later, please be sure to maintain a friendly atmosphere and never bring out your negotiation skills between human countries, otherwise I cannot guarantee your personal safety." Coulson lowered his voice and gave the final warning.
"Don't worry, Agent, we are not fools and know how to deal with a super being that may come from a higher civilization."
Another representative of Security Council quickly tidied his clothes, then braced himself and stared at the figures walking from a distance.
Although each of them was extremely nervous and excited in their hearts, it did not show on their faces.
"Welcome, Coulson. And all the representatives of International Security Council." Allen smiled and bowed slightly to these top bureaucrats in human society.
"Thank you very much, sir." Coulson quickly returned the greeting. "These are the representatives of International Security Council behind me. Please allow me to introduce..."
Before the "good old man" could finish his words, Allen smiled and waved Teuchi and said, "No, introduction is unnecessary. I already know their names and identities through TV and news. In order for us to have a deep understanding of each other and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future, I decided to take you to visit another world that only belongs to me."
"Another... another world?" Coulson was momentarily confused.
Because this was not part of his plan.
To be precise, Director Egghead means to take these people to visit the advanced technologies in Wonderful House and come back quickly.
"That's right! Another world. You don't think we just appear out of thin air as individuals, do you? No! There is a whole world behind me. Come on, I have prepared a welcome ceremony."
After saying this, Allen didn't care about the reactions of those behind him, he directly raised Teuchi and snapped his fingers.
moment!
Everyone present only felt their eyes blur, and then suddenly appeared in another place.
When the refreshing sea breeze slowly blew over his face, Coulson finally realized that he was at the edge of a huge platform at this moment. He turned his head and looked down at the endless sea.
Especially Great Maelstrom in the middle of the sea, which almost scared him into cardiac arrest.
Without him!
It's so amazing and spectacular!
Of course, what shocked Coulson even more was that he was actually standing on the edge of a huge Sky City, with a slightly smaller warship docked next to it.
Judging from the appearance and engine, this thing is probably designed for long-distance travel in the universe.
Whether it's the technological appearance or the thick and long main gun, it's enough to be intimidating.
Just when this group of International Security Council representatives were stunned and completely lost the ability to speak, countless Great Dragon suddenly flew over their heads, and the number was enough to cover the sky.
Immediately behind them, there are various types of combat robots, as well as puppets created using soul energy plus Third Magic Soul Materialization to serve as cannon fodder and coolies. Each of them carries a large number of weapons and equipment.
Finally, there was even a group of Super Giant walking past from a distance with their heads in the sky and their feet on the earth.
One of them just punched and set off huge waves thousands of meters high on the sea.
After all this was over, Allen asked Guardian Steward Edna Bevin on the side, "Is the banquet ready?"
"Everything has been arranged according to your instructions." Female elf quickly replied.
"Very good! Then you can take these guests to visit Aelionteu first." Allen gave the instruction straightforwardly.
"Dear guests, please come with me."
Edna·Bevin waved to the representatives of International Security Council, and then took the lead and walked forward along the marble road under his feet.
After a while, she and several representatives disappeared into the far end of the garden and woods.
As soon as these people left, Coulson came up and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Sir, what is this place?"
"As you can see, this is another world. If you are asking about the name, her name is Azerath, a planet filled with powerful magical power." Allen gave the answer meaningfully.
magic?
Another world?
Coulson After hearing this, a storm surged in his heart.
Because a few people coming to the earth and a whole world coming to the earth are two completely different concepts!
Especially the display of military strength just now was definitely a deliberate display of power.
But he soon realized that this should be considered a good thing in a strict sense.
After all, the purpose of a show of military strength is usually deterrence, and deterrence means the lack of intention to initiate an attack.
After thinking about this, the solemn expression on Coulson's face suddenly became relaxed, and he sighed slightly, "No wonder there are so many advanced technologies. It turns out that there is a world behind you as a support. If you don't mind, can you tell me what is the purpose of your coming to Earth?"
"Perhaps you won't believe it. In fact, every time I travel across dimensions, I don't know what the world I will arrive next is like, so I can't say what the purpose is. Normally, what I will do is nothing more than two things. One is to collect the specialties and technologies that the world has, and the other is to pursue stronger personal power." Allen explained casually.
"That's it! It seems that the director and the representatives can have a good sleep." Coulson joked.
From the brief conversation, he confirmed a key piece of information.
The other party has made similar trips more than once, so he will not stay forever and may choose to leave at some point.
Since it is destined to leave, there is no reason or motive to overthrow the existing order and rule mankind.
"We are not enemies! On the contrary, between the agreement between me and Sorcerer Supreme, we are still allies to a certain extent. When the earth encounters invasion from other dimensions or other civilizations in the universe, I will stand firmly on the side of mankind."
Allen solemnly stated his position and attitude for the first time.
Because only by integrating in can he confidently take away Space Stone and Mind Stone at the critical moment.
"Really?!" Coulson's eyes instantly lit up.
"Of course it's true! I will prove this with actual actions in the future. Oh, by the way, if you encounter any trouble that you cannot handle, you can come to me for help. Of course, this is a paid service."
After saying that, Allen blinked, and then led the other party into Central Tower of Sky City.
At this moment, the restaurants here are densely packed with delicacies exuding tempting aromas.
Among them are the grilled Spider legs with a rather exotic taste, and the mammoth steaks from the far north Northrend.
There are dozens of varieties of fish, clams and lobsters.
But the most eye-catching thing is the large piece of tender meat cut from the frozen worm in the middle.
Seeing so many delicious foods, Coulson, who had been eating junk food for several weeks, immediately felt hungry and unbearable. He pointed at the Ice Worm meat curiously. "What kind of animal meat is this? It looks delicious."
"It is a specialty of this world. Try it, believe me, you will like this unique taste." Allen directly handed over a plate and strongly recommended it.
"Then I'm not welcome. You know, in order to serve those representatives of International Security Council, I even took care of dinner."
Coulson directly picked up a piece from the mountain of meat, held the plate and took a big bite.
moment!
The deliciousness of the meat itself and the flavor of Northern Lands spices explode in your mouth.
Coupled with the small amount of magical energy contained in the meat, he felt that his original fatigue and sleepiness had disappeared without a trace on the spot, and his body seemed to be as strong as an elephant.
Obviously, this kind of cooking greatly strengthened his physique.
After completely swallowing the meat in his mouth, Coulson immediately licked the meat juice on his lips and stammered, "I... my body..."
"Ah! Your physique has been strengthened. How about it? It feels good, right? It's a pity that its effect can only last for an hour, and you will return to the normal state again after an hour. In fact, all the food here will have an additional strengthening state. How about it, isn't it interesting?" Allen asked with a half-smile.
