Old Friends: The Osborns
Before he left, Ancient One gave him a gift.
The Suspension Ring is a ring given to any recognized mage within the Kamar-Taj Mage Institute. It has wondrous uses such as communicating with "magical" energy and opening portals.
After bidding farewell to Odin, Alvin returned to the Helicarrier to deal with the remaining matters.
It's been almost four months since then, and they must be getting really anxious over there. Besides, he didn't originally plan to stay this long.
After the last alien invasion, the authority of the United Nations and the Security Council has declined significantly in the eyes of the public, and S.H.I.E.L.D.. has been separated and reorganized into the new Council of Terra.
However, to achieve a situation like the Transformers universe where the Holy Terra Council completely replaces the government's functions, it will take some time and a suitable opportunity; it cannot be conquered by force rashly.
The Avengers were also transformed into a subordinate organization of the Council of Terra, with Tony Stark serving as its first Speaker, responsible for leading and governing the council.
Nick Fury served as the vice-speaker, with Coulson as his direct secretary, forming a temporary team. The Adeptus Mechanicus, founded by Aruman Vera, held equal power with the Holy Terra, serving as a form of checks and balances.
Finally, Alvin tallied up the gains from this trip to the Marvel Universe, which were undeniably substantial.
First, he met Odin, the God King Asgard, and with the help of the Ancient One, they resolved the threat of the "Daemon Artifact," finally relieving him of a major worry. He no longer had to worry about Khorne taking advantage of his Khorne and accidentally "converting" to the enemy.
Next up is the Chitauri army.
The Dark Angels, along with Thor and the Hulk, used a boarding and decapitation tactic to sever the nerve communication centers of tens of thousands of Chitauri warriors and destroy the Chitauri command structure. However, that did not mean that the army was completely useless.
To be precise, the tens of thousands of Chitauri biomechanical warriors were simply killed because they lost their central command system.
However, it has been temporarily paralyzed.
By simply altering the central command system slightly, Alvin essentially gained a Chitauri army of tens of thousands for free.
Although these Chitauri biomechanical warriors are really not up to par in terms of combat power, and would probably struggle even to fight a counterinsurgency mission in Warhammer Hive City, they are still "cannon fodder" for tens of thousands of people, and are not bad for filling gaps.
In case of any danger, this legion can be deployed, loaded with bombs, and at best, it can deplete the enemy's manpower.
Even if we can't deplete their manpower, can't we at least deplete some of their ammunition?
Don't say Alvin is cruel; he's just discriminating. A group of aliens who invade and slaughter humans don't deserve to talk about human rights at all!
As for the Space Stone, Alvin, it's quite a pity that after leaving the Marvel Universe, it's just a pretty stone with no practical use.
But considering that there was a purple sweet potato spirit who had been eyeing this thing, he casually tossed it into his Personal Space.
If you're so capable, come find me in Warhammer!
Having done all that, Alvin decided to take advantage of the remaining time to visit his "old friend."
In his top-floor office at Osborn Pharmaceuticals, Norman Osborn was reviewing documents when he suddenly looked up, his pupils contracting sharply.
"Long time no see, Mr. Osborn."
Alvin was sitting on the sofa in front of him, legs crossed, looking at him with a half-smile, "Oh, no—or should I call you 'Green Goblin'?"
"Mr. Alvin, you've finally arrived." Norman was startled, hurriedly dropped the documents, and stood up abruptly, bowing extremely respectfully. "Thanks to you, the reverse engineering of 'Serum 5' by Vought Company has now been a complete success!"
However, Alvin remained silent, simply staring at him with a smile.
Cold sweat beaded on Osborn's forehead, dripping onto the expensive carpet, as he remained bent over.
He didn't dare look Alvin in the eye at all.
"You're quick to admit your mistakes."
Alvin withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Considering your attitude, I won't pursue the matter of you secretly concealing the development progress of the Serum 5 and making deals with high-ranking United States officials while I was away."
"Yes, yes—Mr. Alvin."
Osborn's heart nearly stopped, but upon hearing those words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away his cold sweat.
With a face full of gratitude, he said, "Thank you for forgiving me, Mr. Alvin. I promise you, I will never do it again!"
It turns out that after his disappearance, Osborn's ambition grew. Having mastered the formula for Serum 5, he attempted to infiltrate the upper echelons of the United States, kick Tony out, and thus make Vought Company his own private property.
Tony is indeed a genius, but that's only in research. In the business world, how can he possibly compete with that old fox, Osborn?
Unfortunately, at the crucial moment of the Osborn Plan's execution, Alvin returned.
Not only did he return, but he also nearly scared Osborn to death.
Osborn saw on television Alvin leading an entire legion and destroying a planet.
The plan was terminated overnight.
Tap, tap, tap.
Alvin tapped the armrest lightly with his index finger, looking at the respectful Osborn before him. "You're a talented person, and I really like talented people, which is why I'm willing to give you a chance. I hope you can control your ambition—do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, understood!"
Osborn nodded hastily, a bitter feeling welling up inside him.
You should have told him about your spacefaring plans sooner. If he had known, he wouldn't have dared to harbor any ambitions.
"I'll cut to the chase," Alvin said calmly. "I want to know, how far have you progressed in the reverse engineering of Serum 5?"
"It's still unstable; we can't determine which superpower was activated in the user." Osborn wiped the sweat from his brow and handed over the prepared documents with both hands. "We've tried many times, but we haven't been able to achieve the same activation effect in everyone using the Serum 5."
Alvin quickly glanced through the documents and found that in the recorded experiments, most of the superpowers that were activated...
None of them are of any value.
It seems there's still a long way to go before he realizes his vision of Psychic Power Space Marine legion comprised entirely of Librarian.
"Continue the research." Alvin tossed the data back, his tone slightly dissatisfied. "What I need is the Serum 5 that can reliably stimulate superpowers, not this defective product."
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Alvin!"
Osborn swallowed hard and hurriedly agreed, but after waiting for a while without hearing a reply, he mustered his courage and looked up.
As it turned out, Alvin had long since disappeared.
They came and went without a trace, like ghosts, without a sound.
Looking at the spot where Alvin had left, Osborn seemed to lose all his strength, slumping to the ground with a bitter expression on his face and a sigh in his heart.
Only he himself knew how dangerous it had been. If he had uttered even a single word or made even the slightest mistake in his expression, the Osborn Group would have been wiped out!
