"What about you? What are you waiting for?" After Hellboy left, Robet glanced at Constantine, who clearly hadn't tried his best, and said this in a bad mood. Robet's attitude towards Constantine was not so good.

Because Robet had also taken down the two superhumans in front of Constantine while helping the Avengers kill all their opponents, Robet could clearly sense that these two superhumans were no match for Constantine. Constantine had only managed to hold out for so long because he had been slacking off in the fight.

Furthermore, Robet knew quite a bit about Constantine's magical abilities, so Robet was somewhat dissatisfied with Constantine's behavior of slacking off in the battle. In particular, Robet knew without a doubt that a top-tier Demon King like Zeldar had been sacrificed by Constantine!

In this incident, Constantine was arguably the only one who benefited, yet even under such circumstances, Constantine was unwilling to pay any price, making him hardly a trustworthy comrade-in-arms.

"Ahem... Well, there were just too many enemies, and it was difficult for me to deal with so many at the same time. Well, I have something to do here. If I find any traces of creatures from other dimensions, I will contact you..." Hearing Robet's words, Constantine's eyes flashed with embarrassment. After giving Robet a few fawning smiles, he excused himself and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Constantine was well aware that what he had done was somewhat unethical, but to be honest, if Robet hadn't spoken up, Constantine wouldn't have felt even a little bit of guilt or embarrassment, because that's just the kind of person he is, and changing is already very difficult for him...

With Constantine gone, the Avengers returned to Avengers Base. Unlike Wade, who was called in to help last time but wasn't truly incorporated into the Avengers, Martian Manhunter has now officially joined the Avengers.

At this point, the Avengers were still very interested in Martian Manhunter. This wasn't just because of Robet's recommendation, nor solely because of Martian Manhunter's strength. More importantly, Martian Manhunter's identity as Martian was truly extraordinary. This was a sister planet to Earth, the very planet humanity had originally envisioned as a second Earth. The existence of life on such a planet was far more intriguing than any unknown Krypton like Krypton...

"Tony? How is it? Any problems with Jarvis? Is Spider-Man and the others in danger?" At the Avengers Base, Steve immediately asked Tony Stark about Jarvis's situation upon seeing him. Although the matter was considered closed, there were still undercurrents of unrest. Even with Robet's deterrent, it would still be troublesome if Peter Parker and the others' identities were exposed.

"I'm helping to sort through Jarvis's data. Are you all alright over there?" Tony Stark breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Steve and the others return, especially when he saw Robet. He knew the matter must have been resolved, but judging from the tattered state of Steve and the others, the battle must have been quite brutal.

Keep in mind that when Tony Stark left, they had just finished dealing with Zeldar's forces. They were already battle-hardened, and if Robet hadn't trained them beforehand, ensuring Avengers all experienced prolonged combat, it's doubtful that every Avengers would have been able to hold out until Robet returned.

"Nothing's wrong here. The Saiyan appeared just in time and acted very forcefully. With their strength as a deterrent, those Official Agencies shouldn't dare to attack us openly. But we still can't guarantee what will happen behind the scenes, especially depending on your situation..." Steve slowly shook his head and said softly.

"It's true that some information has been leaked, but the information on the Avengers members hasn't been leaked. Some information about my Mecha has been leaked, but it won't be easy for them to replicate my Mecha, especially with incomplete information..." Tony Stark's eyes flickered slightly as he began to speak.

"However, besides these, the vast majority of our Avengers ' supernatural database has also been leaked. This means that the information on the supernatural incidents we handled before has been obtained by these Official Agencies..."

"Of course, those Official Agencies may not have obtained all the information. It's likely that many Official Agencies obtained this information separately. Whether they will eventually combine all the intelligence, I don't know..."

"Information on extraordinary events? Including information on our actions?" Peter Parker quickly realized the crux of the matter. They had quite a few opportunities to be exposed to the public, but they rarely revealed all of their abilities. Therefore, Official Agencies only knew a small part of the Avengers' abilities and could not concretize each Avengers's abilities into data.

However, if the Avengers ' combat data in extraordinary events were exposed, things would be different. Because every time they encounter an extraordinary event, the Avengers cannot hold back. Any event that can be called extraordinary is definitely a formidable enemy. In fact, the Avengers Central City match for their enemies in many extraordinary events, so they naturally have to go all out.

Therefore, with this part of the data leaked, coupled with the battle footage, the Official Agencies can easily know the Avengers ' individual abilities and the limits of their combat power. They can even analyze the weaknesses of each Avengers and find opportunities to deal with Avengers!

This time Official Agencies, Official Agencies mobilized collectively, and it was Robet's forceful intervention that deterred them. However, no one can guarantee that these Official Agencies won't secretly seek opportunities to target the Avengers in the future...

"Yes, there has indeed been a lot of leaked information about extraordinary events, including a lot of information about your actions. Although this hasn't exposed your identities, it's still a very troublesome problem!" Tony Stark nodded with a somewhat grave expression.

For Tony Stark, the leakage of some Mecha data is not a big deal. Losing a little data is enough to keep those who obtained it stuck for many years. Especially since Tony Stark's Mecha can be updated and iterated, the value of previously leaked data can be quickly reduced.

However, the Avengers ' strength and abilities don't change that quickly, which is why Tony Stark has been troubled by this problem for a while, as he couldn't find a good solution...

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the movements of those Official Agencies..." Just when Tony Stark was also feeling a bit tricky, Martian Manhunter stepped forward and said to Tony Stark.

"Wait, who are you?" When he saw Martian Manhunter step forward, Tony Stark was taken aback. He looked hesitantly in the direction of Steve, Robet, and the others, wondering where this seemingly inhuman guy had come from.

To be honest, Martian Manhunter is the first Avengers who doesn't look like Earthling. Among the other Avengers, there are aliens like Robet, Clark, and Kara, and genetically mutated superhumans like Peter Parker, but at least their appearances have remained that of Earthling.

As for Martian Manhunter, it's a different story. Even now, Robet can still vaguely see Piccolo's shadow in Martian Manhunter. Such an appearance would be quite strange among normal Earthling.

"His name is John, you can call him Martian Manhunter ..." Steve briefly introduced Martian Manhunter to Tony Stark, and Tony Stark's eyes lit up instantly after hearing Steve's explanation.

"You're the one the Saiyan were talking about, the one with Mind Stone abilities? You're a Martian? There's a civilization on Mars? How long has your civilization been around? How advanced is your technology?" Tony Stark was even more interested in Mars civilization than Tony Stark Steve, especially since he could build Scouter to Mars if he wanted to.

A familiar yet unfamiliar alien civilization holds immense allure for a genius and scientist like Tony Stark, an allure so strong that it even makes Tony Stark forget the troubles he faced with the Avengers...

"You can talk about this later. Let's arrange for dinner first. They've been fighting for so long, they deserve a good rest..." Just as Tony Stark was looking at Martian Manhunter with shining eyes, Robet interrupted their staring contest and spoke up.

While Healing Spell can heal physical injuries, Mind Stone exhaustion is not so easily eliminated. Robet is alright, after all, he is a veteran warrior who has fought many battles, but Susan Storm and the others, and even Steve and the others, Central City somewhat exhausted, and are just putting on a brave face.

After all, this was the first time the Avengers had faced two different battles in a row: one against a powerful Hell Demon King, and the other against a troublesome Official Agencies. These consecutive experiences had truly left the Avengers somewhat exhausted.

"Sorry, mine." Tony Stark snapped out of his daze, realizing it wasn't the time to talk about these things, and quickly had Jarvis, who had recovered, start making arrangements. One exquisite meal after another appeared before the Avengers.

This time, not only did Robet transform into a gluttonous Taotie and begin devouring everything in her path, but Peter Parker and even Susan Storm were the same. The fierce battle had truly left them starving, and the subsequent fighting put considerable psychological pressure on Susan Storm and the others. Even though they possessed extraordinary powers and were Avengers, they still didn't want to be targeted by Official Agencies Official Agencies, much less have a major conflict with them...

"It seems that this incident has had some psychological impact on the Avengers..." At one corner of the table, Martian Manhunter and Tony Stark sat. They hadn't eaten much. Although Tony Stark was curious about whether Martian Manhunter could get used to Earth food, he politely refrained from asking directly.

"Indeed, Steve and I have stopped most of the previous minor actions by the authorities. This is the first time they have directly targeted Official Agencies, so naturally there is some pressure. However, it is not a big problem. Most of the attention of the Official Agencies should be on the Saiyan now..." Tony Stark slowly shook his head. After learning what had happened after he left, Tony Stark was not so worried.

Tony Stark was certain that these Official Agencies would not let the matter rest, but the problem was that Robet's current strength was simply too terrifying, so terrifying that the Official Agencies were hesitant to act rashly, fearing that Robet might just overturn the table.

Given Robet's destructive power, if he could destroy the Earth, he could certainly destroy a country, a continent, or even, to take it a step further, destroy all civilizations on Earth.

If Robet is really pushed to that point, then these Official Agencies will be finished. These Official Agencies do indeed have the life motto of "I don't care what happens after I die," but the problem is, they're not dead yet!

Although the Earth's ecosystem is currently developing in a direction beyond the control of these Official Agencies, it hasn't spiraled out of control yet, and social order is still barely maintained. As long as they can retain power, how could they dare to truly break off relations?

Of course, it's impossible to just ignore Robet. After all, Robet is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of these Official Agencies, ready to destroy everything they have at any moment. They are constantly thinking about getting rid of Robet, but they just haven't found a way yet.

"Indeed, for a civilization, the destructive power at this level is far too great, especially for a nascent civilization like Earth..." The Martian Manhunter nodded, his eyes flickering slightly as he said, "I still have some connections within the military, which allows me to know about the actions of some Official Agencies, but I can't guarantee that I know everything about every single one of Official Agencies operations."

"That's enough. We don't need to pay too much attention to the Official Agencies' search for Saiyan. We just need to take care of the other Avengers. After all, Saiyan aren't exactly part of the Avengers, at least that's what we say to the outside world. As for whether those Official Agencies believe it or not, that's none of my business..." Tony Stark laughed when he heard this, and his expression relaxed considerably.
