Birthdays have different meanings to everyone.
Some people do it to commemorate the lost time and youth, some people do it to commemorate their own growth, and some people just want to bring their relatives and friends together to have fun.
But for Tony·Stark, this year's birthday is definitely a bit unusual.
Because not long ago, he suddenly discovered that he had been poisoned.
And the source of the poisonous substance is the palladium element used in the latest model of small Arc Reactor on his chest.
I have to say that this is a huge irony for the proud and conceited Tony·Stark.
Similarly, he also realized why Allen repeatedly reminded himself to buy a bottle of antidote, and the true meaning of the last sentence "I wish you good health".
But unfortunately, it's too late to regret now.
With his disappearance, the grocery store and the surrounding space have been completely sealed, making it impossible for outsiders to approach.
"Farke!"
Looking at the value of the blood palladium content on the self-made instrument, Tony·Stark couldn't help but curse America.
If this rate continues, he may not be able to survive the "Future Technology Symposium" convening, and will die in agony.
If, like the original scenario, no other solution can be found, he may calmly accept his fate and begin to make arrangements for his afterlife.
But now, there is obviously a way to solve it, but it is ruined by his own arrogance and arrogance. How can Tony·Stark, who has just begun to change his life, accept it.
You must know that Tony·Stark is still looking forward to using your intelligence, responsibility and sense of justice to save more people in need.
What's more, his relationship with Pepper Pepper·Poz has just begun, so how could he be willing to die like this.
pain!
upset!
Blame yourself!
All kinds of complex emotions are constantly tearing at Iron Man's heart, and he is not even interested in continuing to study the magic that he is most interested in.
He had no idea that all his actions were being watched by Ace Spy "Black Widow" sent by Nick Fury, and they would report at any time.
To be precise, the reason why Director Egghead did not come forward earlier to present the new element model invented by Howard was to test what kind of actions Tony·Stark would do when facing despair and death.
Is it self-destruction?
Or fall into hysterical madness?
Or does it display some precious qualities?
In short, with Nick Fury's suspicious character, he will not easily absorb the other party to join Avengers before seeing the truest side of Tony·Stark with his own eyes.
After all, the billionaire playboy has so many "convicts" that it would take him a few hours to talk about them.
Allen has always noticed Director Egghead's little thoughts, and even actively cooperated with the other party's performance.
At this moment, he was sitting in a restaurant in New Mexico town, watching the pair of two men and one woman not far away from the corner of his eye.
You don't need to ask to know that these three people are Jane Foster, Eric Shavig and Daisy Louise.
Before long, they will have a fateful encounter with "Thor" and even embark on a thrilling adventure.
"How long are we going to wait here?"
Artoria, dressed in cool casual clothes, swallowed a spicy Mexico pancake and licked his fingers and asked.
"It should be almost done after Tony·Stark's birthday." Allen gave the answer without thinking.
According to the memory in his mind, Thor and his beloved hammer fell from the sky three to five days after Iron Man's birthday party.
In other words, in a week or two at most, Thor will be thrown to the earth by his father in anger to receive training.
As Ancient One of Earth Guardians, Ancient One has always been happy to see this kind of thing happen.
After all, if Thor, the prince of the Asgardian Realm, establishes some kind of relationship with Earthlings, it will be a good thing for both parties.
Thinking about it from another angle, Odin is making arrangements for his death and the arrival of Ragnarok.
You must know that when he was alive, neither Hela nor Thanos dared to pry even a little bit on the Asgardian Realm.
But as soon as Odin's front legs died, Hela's back legs broke free and entered the divine realm, directly triggering the arrival of Ragnarok and causing the entire Asgard to be completely destroyed.
Not to be outdone, Thanos directly attacked the refugee ship of Asgardians and captured Space Stone-Tesseract.
Facts have proved that the prestige of God's Domain in the universe over the years has been almost entirely supported by Odin alone.
Without Odin, the Divine Realm is just a fat piece of meat, and anyone can take a bite of it.
Allen has made up his mind that when Surtur is resurrected and begins to destroy Asgard, he will definitely loot Odin's treasure house and take away all the things he is interested in.
Just when he lowered his head and thought about how to operate, Artoria suddenly reminded, "Allen, those people are leaving, don't we have to follow them?"
Allen shook his head slightly. "It's not necessary yet, let them go. By the way, are these Mexico pancakes still to your taste?"
"Hmm! I like the taste of this hot sauce."
Artoria opened his mouth again, stuffed a pancake into his mouth and chewed it, with an expression of enjoyment and satisfaction on his face.
"Haha, eat more if you like. I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave for a while."
After that, Allen casually took out two hundred-dollar bills and placed them on the table. Then he raised Teuchi, snapped his fingers, and disappeared directly into the chair.
Due to the Illusion Magic relationship, the guests in the restaurant did not notice any of the scenes and continued to do what they were supposed to do.
On the other side, in a Hydra Secret Base in California thousands of kilometers away, Alexander Pierce, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and pretended to be a warm compliment. "Welcome! The power of magic is incredible! No matter how many times I have seen it, it is always so magical and incredible."
"Forget the boring politeness and let me see what interesting things you have brought this time." Allen went straight to the topic.
"Believe me, this item will 100% satisfy you. Please take a look!"
Alexander Pierce quickly motioned to his men to open the sealed container on the table.
The moment the lid opens!
A large amount of shimmering liquid with metallic luster spurted out from inside, floating directly in mid-air and constantly rolling and flipping.
"This is...Gravitonium?" Allen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
As one of the most famous special substances among Marvel Cinematic Universe, he was deeply impressed by Gravitonium.
Especially the Absorbing Man in the spin-off drama "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", who was constantly tearing apart the earth's crust in search of Gravitonium in pursuit of power, and ended up blowing up the earth.
"Oh? Do you know this kind of substance?" Alexander Pierce asked in surprise.
After all, all the existing Gravitonium on the earth have basically been collected and sealed by S.H.I.E.L.D.. He also relied on the large number of Hydra members lurking inside to finally get something done.
Allen stretched out his fingers and gently pinched a little bit in the palm of his hand, and replied casually, "There are no secrets in this world for me. What's more, controlling gravity is not difficult in the first place."
The words just fell!
He suddenly raised Teuchi and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Along with the crisp sound, everyone in the entire base felt a terrifying pressure, which was instantly applied to their whole bodies. Even the firearms in their hands were more than twice as heavy.
Obviously, the gravity of this area has more than doubled under the control of Allen.
fortunately!
This abnormal state lasts for a short time and ends in about a few seconds.
Not only that!
The next second...
Allen's right hand suddenly opened a Black Hole, swallowing the black car next to it and completely disappearing from this world.
Such a terrifying scene not only scared the surrounding Hydra members, but even the young Alexander Pierce couldn't help but take out a tissue and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He sighed with a wry smile, "Fortunately, you are not our enemy, otherwise I would have to consider finding a place to hide."
"Your Excellency, have you considered becoming the leader of our Hydra? The current human government is both incompetent and cowardly, and cannot lead mankind to a better future. But you are different! The power and technology you possess are as great as gods, and you are born to be a leader and master."
Crossbones, who has obtained Superpowers, has naked and unabashed enthusiasm and admiration in his eyes.
To be precise, Hydra's internal high-level officials originally had some kind of indescribable obsession with supernatural powers.
And Allen can just give ordinary people all kinds of Superpowers.
But Allen refused without hesitation. "Sorry! I'm not interested in boring things like ruling the world and conquering the world. Also, please don't mention the word God in front of me."
"That's enough! Brock, you go outside for a while now."
Sensing something was wrong with his attitude, Alexander Pierce immediately gave Crossbones an order to get out.
Strong disappointment appeared on the latter's face, and he went to stand guard outside the door listlessly with his head lowered.
Being born in Hydra, he simply could not understand why Allen had such powerful power but had no desire to control and rule all mankind.
After Crossbones completely walked away, Alexander Pierce put on a smile again and explained in a low voice, "I'm really sorry, Brock's mental state has been a little bit wrong since he drank that bottle of potion and obtained Superpowers."
"No, you are wrong. He is not mentally ill, but mentally ill." Allen pursed his lips and smiled meaningfully.
In fact, few members of Hydra, whether they are at the top or at the bottom, are mentally healthy.
Otherwise, no normal person would voluntarily join Hydra, which was already notorious at the time of WWII.
"Maybe! Anyway, I'm ready to restart Winter Soldier Program and turn him into a sharp blade in the hands of Hydra."
Alexander Pierce did not hide his inner thoughts at all, and spoke out openly.
After all, the Superpowers that Crossbones now possesses is the mind, which is far more powerful than the pure physical power of Winter Soldier.
Even if it is for his own status and safety, he must control it.
The method used by Hydra to control a person often refers to Hypnosis and brainwashing.
Finally, through the form of code words, the controlled person can obey the orders 100%.
"Haha, then you'd better do it quickly. Otherwise, when Brock's intention Nen abilities exceeds a certain limit, ordinary small weapons will not pose any threat to it. In addition, I heard that Nick Fury discovered some interesting things in Arctic not long ago. You'd better pay a little attention." Allen reminded with evil intentions.
"Arctic?!"
Alexander Pierce seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Yeah! It is said to be an aircraft with the WWII mark of the **Germany." Allen hinted again.
Arctic!
Aircraft marked with **Germany!
Combining these two points, anyone who is not a fool will think of Captain America.
What's more, Alexander Pierce was originally a senior executive of Hydra, and almost all the top-secret information from that year has been completely preserved.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, he immediately took out his mobile phone and made several calls in an attempt to confirm the accuracy of the information.
Just a few minutes later, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. sneered with a livid face, "Hahahaha! Very good! Very good! I didn't expect that Nick Fury could hide this matter under my nose. He is indeed the person I personally promoted."
"What are you going to do next?" Allen asked with interest.
"It's a pity! I can't do anything. Because the meaning represented by Captain America is too special. If we take action at this time, it will be equivalent to letting Nick Fury know the existence of Hydra in advance." Alexander Pierce sighed helplessly.
"Do you need me to give you some advice?" Allen smiled playfully.
"Oh? What's your suggestion?" Alexander Pierce's eyes shone slightly.
"It's very simple! As far as I know, Super Soldier Serum has a side effect, which is to amplify the good and evil tendencies in a person's heart.
Red Skull magnifies the evil side, while Captain America magnifies the good side.
Just imagine if you collected the crimes against humanity committed by US Government and US Military and various Dark History since World War II.
If you secretly send it to the captain, who has a strong sense of justice and responsibility, how will he react?
At least if it were me, if I found that the motherland I voluntarily sacrificed everything I wanted to protect turned out to be a more evil place than **Germany, I would definitely be tempted to destroy it with my own hands.
At that time, all it takes is a small lead and fuse to turn the captain into a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of US Government and the military..."
At the prompt of these words, Alexander Pierce suddenly felt as if a new door had been opened.
Similarly, he also realized that Crossbones was right, Allen was definitely more suitable to be the leader of Hydra than anyone else.
