Alien X, I'm Here to Negotiate Terms

Norman began to gradually take over the work of H.A.M.M.E.R.., and he handed over Osborn Enterprise to Harry.

Harry's previous experience overseeing Primus's operations was enough to prove his ability to manage a business effectively.

Anyway, he doesn't need to personally get involved in the research.

Peter returned to his life as a good neighbor, where he fought crime and helped elderly women cross the street.

While the Avengers title brought him some conveniences, it also complicated his Super Hero career.

Now even more people are asking him for photos.

Peter thoroughly enjoyed it.

He's been a hero for so long, but this is the first time he's been this popular.

Of course, people will ask him all sorts of questions, such as why he doesn't reveal his identity, why Hacker Spider-Man doesn't join the Avengers, why Harry Osborn doesn't join the Avengers...

As for Ben, he hasn't made many public appearances since the incident ended.

However, he is actually helping Norman organize S.H.I.E.L.D..'s things now, since Norman was an ordinary person before and his understanding of many things is somewhat lacking.

Most of the secret research projects were provided by Coulson, a former comrade of the previous regime.

This bald agent is quite capable.

As a secret agent, you don't need to be the kind of cool, conspicuous person who wears sunglasses and immediately makes it clear that you're extraordinary.

Instead, it was someone like Coulson, a kind-hearted and gentle man.

Therefore, even though he knew Coulson was Fury's confidant, Ben still suggested to Norman that Coulson's file be preserved so that he could remain in H.A.M.M.E.R.. as a Level 7 agent.

A ground base of Genshin S.H.I.E.L.D. (Genshin Impact) headquarters.

Ben, Norman, and Hill arrived together.

After S.H.I.E.L.D.. was destroyed, this place naturally became one of H.A.M.M.E.R..'s bases.

"Nick Fury's snake pit is no less extensive than Hydra's."

Norman smiled and said.

Hill was aware of this base, and it could even be said that Natasha and Barton were aware of it as well.

Ben said, "There are still more Hydra, because those in S.H.I.E.L.D.. are Hydra agents, but those in Hydra aren't necessarily S.H.I.E.L.D.."

The two men were making jokes about S.H.I.E.L.D.. without any restraint, which made Hill a little uncomfortable.

She took a deep breath and glared at Ben, but it had no effect whatsoever.

"The item is right here."

"Fury wants to replicate Project Pegasus to create powerful weapons, but research is progressing very slowly."

The three people walked up to a huge disc, a metal disc that looked like a giant circuit board, with a blue-glowing the Cube at its center.

This makes the whole thing look a bit like Iron Man's Arc Reactor.

"This is what you called the Cosmic Cube?"

Norman asked.

"To be precise, it's the Infinity Stone."

Ben stepped forward and reached out to remove the Cube from the core device.

Norman can gradually take over the legacy of S.H.I.E.L.D..; after all, those things aren't going anywhere, and having them in Norman's hands is no different from having them in Ben's.

However, the Space Stone is more important at this stage.

"Infinity Stone, what are those?"

This was the first time Hill had ever heard of the Tesseract having such a name.

Ben put the Tesseract away and stuffed it into his backpack, so it could keep the Casket of Ancient Winters.

Then he explained:

"The six Infinity Stones possess immense power; if someone were to collect them all, they could freely alter the reality of this universe."

"There's some guy in the universe who wants to try out family Family Planning right now, and he plans to use this thing to wipe out half of all life in the universe in one fell swoop, so I'll keep this thing safe."

Ben planned to wait until Loki arrived on Earth before having him take the Tesseract to Sakaar.

Of course, it's best to lock down the Tesseract's energy.

The Asgardian, who have studied the Tesseract's Cube for thousands of years, should be very good at this.

After securing the Cosmic Cube, Ben stopped worrying about the H.A.M.M.E.R....

He relaxed for a while, dating back and forth between Mary Jane and Felicia, and sometimes the three of them would go out together.

After resting for a while, Ben locked himself underground in Primus and began to plan how to solve the problem of Alien X.

He came up with a way to exploit the bug.

When Ben Tennyson first transformed into Alien X, the two consciousnesses reached a consensus: they agreed to Ben Tennyson's first proposal.

Unfortunately, Ben Tennyson didn't know how powerful Alien X was at that time, so he wasted his proposal on building a dam instead of using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"If my first proposal were, 'Let me control Alien X's body,' wouldn't I gain permanent access to Alien X?"

With this in mind, Ben decided to give it a try.

He slid the watch icon over the Alien X logo and then pressed it down gently.

In an instant, his body turned black, adorned with white starlight, making him appear as if he were the universe itself.

Alien X!

It comes from the primordial earth of the universe.

The omnipotent Celestialsapiens!

However, after Ben transforms, this Alien X remains motionless, like a statue.

Within the space of consciousness.

Ben floated in the endless darkness, and far ahead, two enormous faces appeared before him.

Unlike the two green faces that Ben Tennyson had seen.

The faces before Ben were one black and one white, just like Alien X's body itself.

"You've finally arrived, Ben Parker."

His dark face resembled the night sky.

We've been waiting for you for a long time.

Her fair complexion resembled that of a star.

Both faces resembled women, and the voices they spoke also sounded more like women's.

"Now that you're here, let's begin with the first proposal..."

"Etc."

Ben interrupted them, raising his hand in greeting.

"Alien X, I'm here to negotiate."

The two enormous faces were several times larger than his body.

"Alien X? You rude kid." The dark-faced man said unhappily, "My name is Enara."

The woman with the fair complexion said softly, "My name is Oyana."

"Alright, Enara, Oyana, I'm here to negotiate." Ben floated toward the two enormous faces.

He wasn't surprised that the Alien X he conjured was different from Ben Tennyson.

The Little Broken Watch will become the best individual of that race.

However, for the omnipotent Alien X, every individual of every race is optimal.

Therefore, it is not surprising what kind of personality appears in the consciousness space.

"I want to gain control of Alien X's body."

"Ben."

Enara's face immediately darkened, and she said, "Give Ben Parker control of Alien X's body? Denied."

Oyana, with her pale face, chimed in, "Proposal rejected."

Both faces answered simultaneously, "Not approved!"

"So decisively? I thought you'd give me a guaranteed pass."

Ben exclaimed in surprise.

For Alien X, there is little difference between justice and evil; they don't care about such distinctions because everything is within their control.

Alien X can destroy or reconstruct the Multiverse at will, and even crises at the level of the Omniverse or even higher are no problem for him.

"That's what we originally thought."

"Oyana said softly."

Then Enara chimed in, "Unfortunately, someone wanted to take advantage of you. They gave you a chance to make a wish, and you dared to ask for more? Ben Parker, you're too greedy."

Ben:...

Enara was right about that.

"So after we learned about your ideas, we scrapped the original proposal," Oyana said.

Do you know what I'm thinking?

Ben countered with a question.

"Of course, we know everything."

"Alright, then I'll propose another one," Ben said, stroking his chin and thinking for a moment. "I know you need both of you to be of one mind to act, so how about we change the proposal process to majority rule?"

Enara and Oyana exchanged a glance.

Enara spoke up, "Change the proposal to majority rule, and reject it."

Oyana: "The proposal is rejected."

The two shouted at Ben again at the same time, "Not approved!"

"Why this time?"

Ben asked, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

He discovered that the two personalities of Alien X he had become seemed to be working together against him.

This time, it was Oyana who spoke first, in a gentle tone:

"We need the consent of three individuals to pass the proposal."

"But I, as the one who proposed it, have already agreed."

"We disagree!" Enara said sternly. "Ben Parker, you're just making offers that benefit you."

"The minority obeys the majority, which seems fair, but when Oyana and I were arguing, you became the one who made the decision."

"Weren't you all waiting for me to help you resolve those proposals?"

Ben countered with a question.

"Not in this way, Benny," Oyana said. "If having an extra personality is just for having an extra right to vote, then there's no point in arguing."

"That's right, if we're just acting to resolve the proposal, why don't we play rock-paper-scissors?"

Ben thought for a moment, then tilted his head and said:

"Because you don't have hands?"

Enara was furious, Oyana was also somewhat annoyed.

"You..."

"Get out!" Enara roared.

Ben's vision went black for a moment, then he regained control of his body.

But his consciousness seemed to have traveled millions of light-years back into his body.

"Wait... didn't you say it needed three people's consent? I haven't agreed to deactivate the transformation yet!"

That being said, Ben also gave up on the idea of transforming into Alien X again.

Clearly, his two personalities were more difficult to deal with than Ben Tennyson's Bellicus and Serena; he simply didn't know how to persuade them.

"We can't really start negotiating with them from the time the dinosaurs went extinct, can we?"

"No, after all, this is the Marvel Universe, where there are far more bizarre and outlandish things, and there's likely to be even more proposals between the two of them..."

Ben sighed.

For now, we can only put the Alien X issue on hold and talk to those two personalities slowly once they've calmed down.

at the same time.

In space.

A fleet of stealth spaceships is also steadily approaching Earth.

Thank you to the passerby who liked the novel for the 100-point reward, and also to the person who didn't quite match for the 5000-point reward! Thank you so much, boss!!!
