The World Belongs to Galactic Plumbers

Ben certainly wouldn't let Tony go out with him.

After all, Sakaar King is himself, Ben doesn't intend to make this public yet.

Besides, Earth is already fine, and there's no need for Tony to do anything. Let him just continue serving his sentence on Sakaar.

Ultron nearly destroyed the world; he couldn't simply let it go after only a few days on Sakaar.

Let him fight in the Sakaar Gladiator Arena for a few years before we talk about it.

On Earth.

Pepper quietly sorted through Tony's entire fortune, intending to use it all to compensate for the losses caused by Ultron, as Tony had promised.

To this end, Tony's mansion and luxury cars were all sold off in a package, and even his original armor was sold at a low price.

However, Stark Industries did not disappear.

Stark Industries is a publicly traded company, and Tony's shareholding is not dominant. At most, Pepper can only sell Tony's shares.

However, Stark Industries ' stock price has now fallen to a very low level, and it will likely remain in a stagnant state for a considerable period of time.

Therefore, while she was selling, she was also buying back with her own money. These were all for Tony, in case Tony really got kicked out of the company.

Although her salary was high, she could only buy a very small amount, which was negligible.

Ben had no interest in Stark Industries ' shares, but Harry Osborn was spending money to buy them.

Harry is now very business-savvy. After realizing he wasn't cut out for scientific research, he gave up on it. Anyway, his two buddies are both smart, so it doesn't matter if he's a little slow.

The Stark Industries stock price has fallen due to Tony's situation, but the fundamentals remain intact. The patent fees that Tony Stark originally registered will continue to generate income in the future.

Now is the lowest price yet, a great time to buy.

As for Norman Osborn, he no longer cared about those paper fortunes.

That power!

That's what he truly desires now.

He was originally the director of the H.A.M.M.E.R., and his influence in the world was already considerable, but the Security Council still held sway over him.

However, now, because of what Ben said to Tony, many people are already considering what kind of relationship needs to be maintained between Earth and the Galactic Plumbers.

Isolation and exclusion as before are clearly not an option; the other party has already made it very clear.

It's impossible for someone who usually acts superior and harbors ill intentions towards the Galactic Plumbers to expect them to make selfless contributions in the end.

On what grounds?

The reason we helped deal with Ultron this time was because of Ben Parker, the Security Officer of the Earth branch. If Earth couldn't show a proper attitude towards the Galactic Plumbers, they could refuse to cooperate.

The universe is so vast, it doesn't need another Earth as its domain.

The Galactic Plumbers Earth, but Earth needs Galactic Plumbers protection—that's the most frustrating thing.

If people hadn't been aware of those threats in the universe before, that would have been one thing.

However, having faced the Ultron Crisis, experienced Hydra infiltration, and the Battle of New York, Earthlings have long understood that existing technology and native Super Hero are simply insufficient to deal with those crises from the universe.

They need the protection of the Galactic Plumbers!

"No need to say more, Norman, we must establish a good relationship with the Galactic Plumbers..."

During the Security Council meeting, the major member states all nodded in agreement, reaching a rare consensus.

At this stage, Earth does indeed need the protection of the Galactic Plumbers, even though the Galactic Plumbers's branch is somewhat similar in nature to the US military stationed in Japan.

"Norman, I remember you had a very good relationship with Ben Parker, the Security Officer of the original Galactic Plumbers branch. Could you perhaps mediate and secure greater autonomy for Earth?" one of them asked.

Now, no one dares to mess with the Infiltration Galactic Plumbers anymore. In their eyes, being able to obtain a certain degree of autonomy is already an ideal outcome.

"Benny is indeed my junior, and he has a certain say in the Galactic Plumbers, so there's no need to worry about that. Besides, the Galactic Plumbers isn't a colonial organization." Norman's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

He had already spoken with Ben and they had reached a consensus.

Should we grant autonomy to the various countries of the world?

Of course I'll give it to you!

To be honest, neither Ben nor Norman had the energy to deal with all the messy affairs between each country.

Whether you two are peaceful and friendly or fight to the death is up to you; things will remain the same. The only difference is that in any extraordinary field, you will be under the jurisdiction of the Galactic Plumbers, while everything else is up to you.

In this way, the Galactic Plumbers can carry out any mission on Earth without regard to the opinions of any country, and no one has the right to interfere.

Norman will be promoted from the director of the H.A.M.M.E.R. to the Security Officer of the Galactic Plumbers Earth Branch, and will no longer have to listen to the Security Council's nagging.

The members of the Galactic Plumbers will be selected from around the world, along with a number of personnel dispatched from headquarters.

To be honest, this is actually much more reassuring.

With some of their own people involved, it doesn't sound like someone else is in control.

Ben had no interest in ruling the Earth; he simply intended for the Galactic Plumbers to replace the original H.A.M.M.E.R.'s functions, the only difference being their status.

The Galactic Plumbers's Guild) held a higher status.

Norman enjoyed vying for power with politicians, but Ben no longer wanted to get involved, which is why he handed over the position of Earth Division Security Officer to Norman.

There's already enough going on at headquarters on Sakaar.

Norman was now sitting in the Space Station of the Galactic Plumbers, making plans and arrangements for his next task.

"The first step should be to establish branches on different continents or even in different countries."

He was thinking.

Although Galactic Plumbers control the world from space, in the event of unforeseen circumstances or unusual phenomena, it could take much longer to arrive from the space station.

It would be better to establish branches in various locations, so that different people can be assigned to manage different areas, making his work easier.

"I remember Benny once thought about hollowing out Mount Rushmore to use as a base. Why don't we put one of the bases inside Mount Rushmore?" Norman thought.

"Then there are the members..."

Ordinary Plumbers need to have some skills like H.A.M.M.E.R. agents, but that's not difficult. Norman doesn't need to look for them; the Security Council member states will send their own talent.

The more Earthlings within the Galactic Plumbers, the more autonomous Earth becomes.

Moreover, they also wanted to secretly plant some spies within the Galactic Plumbers.

That's alright.

Anyway, those people aren't high-ranking, so they won't have access to many secrets. Besides... this world is ultimately about force, so what if the entire Galactic Plumbers branch is infiltrated by spies?

Don't they still have to work honestly?

It would be better to call them spies, because only spies would put in 120% effort to complete a mission. What working person doesn't slack off? Didn't you see that the real boss of the Galactic Plumbers doesn't want to deal with this kind of trivial matter?

"To maintain secrecy, the spies certainly won't reveal their secrets to each other, so let them be suspicious of one another," Norman thought.

He didn't care who those spies worked for behind the scenes; once he joined the Galactic Plumbers, he had to work for the Galactic Plumbers.

"Then comes the Super Hero team."

He stroked his chin, deep in thought.

That's not difficult. The original Avengers disbanded, so it's a good idea to take them back. Anyway, Captain America and the others won't care whether they're called Avengers or something else.

With that in mind, he immediately took out his phone and sent a text message to Steve and the other Super Hero, asking if they would be willing to work for the Galactic Plumbers.

Ben seemed quite interested in the idea of reorganizing the Super Hero team.

He simply returned to Earth and worked with Norman to prepare for this.

A few days later, at the entrance of Primus, a black van screeched to a halt. Steve, along with Winter Soldier and Falcon, got out of the van. In the driver's seat, Natasha rolled down the window and winked at Ben from a distance.

"Long time no see, Benny... no, should I call you Big Bro Ben now, otherwise it would be too disrespectful?" Steve joked as soon as he saw Ben, clearly a loyal viewer of Stark's live stream.

"If you don't mind, you can call me Elder Ben- sama."

Ben rolled his eyes. By then, Natasha had parked the car and gotten out.

Where is Agent Barton?

"He's preparing to retire and is enjoying his Tianyuan life." Natasha recently dyed her hair white, Ben thinks doesn't look as good as her original color.

As expected, white-haired characters are more appealing in the world of anime and manga; they fall short in the real world.

Ben simply nodded at Hawkeye's plans to retire, showing no particular regret.

The other person is just an ordinary person, and it would indeed be difficult for him to continue in this era where Super Hero are everywhere. In addition, he has a wife and children, so retiring early is not a bad thing.

"I remember his wife used to be a S.H.I.E.L.D.. agent? I'll give him a bigger pension then. Why don't you retire?"

"I can't stay idle." Natasha smiled, pursing her lips.

She's not at S.H.I.E.L.D.. anymore; the Galactic Plumbers doesn't care if you're Russian or not, and her retirement pension has already been maxed out.

However, Natasha had no intention of retiring.

She's all alone anyway, and if she really retires, she doesn't know what she'll be able to do anymore.

Ben led them into the company.

"Just the few of us?" Steve asked.

"No, there's still Peter and the others." Ben shook his head. "There aren't many people now."

They walked into the company Primus Building, which also had conference rooms, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to use them to gather these heroes, since they might not actually join the Galactic Plumbers yet.

Steve and his friends followed Ben into the company, took the elevator all the way down to the basement, and as soon as they entered, they saw Peter reach out to greet them.

"Hey, Captain." He was still wearing the Spider Suit.

"Hey Spider-Man," Steve walked over and patted him hard on the shoulder, asking with concern, "Still haven't found Venom?"

"No..." Peter shook his head, his face full of sadness and worry.

Venom disappeared during the period when it was fighting Ultron.

On one occasion, Ultron used a sonic attack on Peter, forcing Venom to leave Peter's body. Since then, Venom has been as if it had disappeared.

"It's been so long, and he still hasn't shown up," he said sadly.

Although Peter initially found Venom a bit annoying, after so much time has passed, he has long since accepted Venom.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Captain America offered him a word of comfort before turning his gaze to the other people in the conference room.

Daredevil and Green Goblin were among those he recognized, though not intimately. T'Challa the Black Panther was also there, and the two exchanged greetings. Additionally, Ben's girlfriend Felicia, was also present.

I didn't see the siblings who were with Ultron back then. I wonder if they were punished for betraying the Galactic Plumbers.

With that in mind, Steve decided to ask Ben to intercede for them later.

He felt that the two children had only gone astray because of their hatred for Stark, and were not inherently bad.

Then there was another person, whom he didn't recognize.

"This is William Baker, you can call him Sandman," Ben introduced him briefly.

Steve immediately remembered that the villain who caused Peter and Venom to go berserk was Sandman, but he didn't expect Ben to let him join the Plumbers.

Ben certainly knew about the Sandman's past.

This person wasn't particularly good, but he wasn't particularly bad either, so they gave him a special opportunity to join the Galactic Plumbers, while promising to help him treat his daughter's illness.

"Hello, Captain." William Baker was not good with words; after greeting him, he fell silent.

That's all for now.

Ben said.

To be honest, this team is obviously a bit weak, with the strongest member being Sandman, who was originally the villain.

There was nothing they could do. Thor hadn't awakened yet, and Vision was gone. After Tony was sent away, Wanda and Quicksilver decided to go for a stroll in space, partly to avoid the commotion.

Once everyone was present, Ben asked them to sit down and began to speak:

"Let me make this clear first: unlike when you were with the Avengers, joining the Galactic Plumbers means you won't have much autonomy. From now on, all your actions will require the Galactic Plumbers's permission. You can't act rashly without a mission."

Ben had no intention of creating trouble for himself. The Avengers were highly independent, but Ben didn't need that; he just needed these people to follow orders.

"I'm fine," William Baker said, then sat down with a pained expression. He barely managed to maintain a human appearance, but grains of sand were falling from his skin.

Steve frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

In this way, Super Hero essentially become weapons in the hands of the Galactic Plumbers. Is this a good thing?

He thought a lot, especially about S.H.I.E.L.D.. being infiltrated by Hydra.

However, he quickly shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh, realizing that his worries were completely unnecessary.

The world already belongs to the Galactic Plumbers, so why worry?

So he nodded. "I agree."
