Johnny didn't smash the Vibranium gate.
But the Nite Owl made it fall off the wall.
The entire door, along with its deformed frame, slammed heavily onto the floor of the command room with a dull thud.
The smoke and dust spread to both sides.
Nite Owl stepped over the corpses at the gate, his black cloak trailing behind him, his eyes beneath the owl mask calmly sweeping across the entire command room.
Behind him, Superwoman, the Power Ring, and Speedster Johnny walked in one after another.
Inside the command center, there were few agents left who could still stand.
Fury stood in front of the main console, staring at them with one eye, but his hand never left the control panel.
Hill stood beside him, his gun pointed at Nite Owl.
"Chief, step back."
Several agents wearing exoskeleton armor stood in front of Fury, their shoulder armor unfolding to reveal miniature energy cannons.
Stark Industries ' latest generation of individual soldier exoskeletons.
It was originally an experimental device used by S.H.I.E.L.D.. to deal with Superman incidents.
In retrospect, the experimental results were quite mediocre.
"Fire!"
Blue beams of light were emitted simultaneously.
Speedster Johnny grinned.
The next second, the red afterimage vanished from its spot.
After the exoskeleton agents fired just one shot, the armor's weapon system was forcibly removed.
"This is good."
Speedster Johnny, carrying a pile of parts, casually tossed them onto the ground.
"The design process was just too slow."
The Power Ring raised its right hand.
The green energy transformed into a giant hand and slammed it horizontally.
With a loud bang.
Several agents, armored and all, crashed into the wall, sparks flying from the armor's surface, before collapsing to the ground.
From startup to obsolescence.
It took less than a second.
Fury's face darkened further.
He had seen the budget for this equipment.
It seems that Stark Industries would be better off giving him a discount.
"OMG Fuck!"
Nite Owl didn't look at the fallen agents.
He walked up to Fury and stopped three meters away.
"Nick Fury, right?"
Fury said coldly, "Who are you?"
You can think of us as conquerors.
The Nite Owl's voice was flat and even.
"We have conquered many similar worlds. Your organizations, your nations, your so-called superheroes, will all eventually become part of the new order."
"Colonialism? You?"
Fury stared at him.
"So you didn't do any background checks before you hacked in, right?"
Superwoman raised an eyebrow.
" Nite Owl, this black guy is just stalling for time."
"I know."
Nite Owl looked at Fury's hand.
I saw his hand.
Fury did not deny it.
The screens on the main control panel have all turned red.
The core database has begun formatting.
The energy reactor, located seven levels underground, has also entered its overload countdown.
Hill glanced at the screen.
Ten seconds.
Nine seconds.
"Chief."
"Now."
Fury said in a low voice.
The next moment, he pressed the black button at the bottom of the console hard.
The ground suddenly exploded.
It didn't explode upwards, but collapsed downwards.
The metal plate beneath Fury and Hill's feet flipped instantly, sending them tumbling into the dark emergency slide.
Just as Superwoman was about to make a move, Nite Owl raised his hand to stop her.
"Don't chase?"
Speedster Johnny tilted his head.
"I can bring them back before they land."
They can't escape.
Nite Owl walked toward the control panel.
"Something's fishy about Ultraman; intelligence is a priority."
He took out the black device and plugged it directly into the main control panel interface.
The formatting progress on the screen suddenly froze.
Several database links that were self-destructing were forcibly severed, but his program gradually pulled them back.
Fury's countermeasures were indeed swift.
But the Nite Owl is faster.
He's not just a reckless brute who only knows how to fight in battle armor.
In the Crime Syndicate, he has always been the one truly responsible for devising the invasion plan, taking over the world order, and eliminating resistance organizations.
"Five seconds until it explodes," the Power Ring said.
"It won't explode."
Nite Owl's fingers flew across the virtual keyboard.
"I've switched the energy overload to cooling mode. This world's defense system is interesting, but the operators rely too much on the AI system."
The red countdown on the screen stopped at two.
Then, all alarms were turned off simultaneously.
The Superwoman crossed her arms, looking somewhat impatient.
What did you find?
"Lots of things."
Nite Owl quickly reads files.
"Records of extraterrestrial life, Asgard, the Space Stone, the Enhanced Soldier Program, and a list of super-individuals in this world—far more than we've seen before."
His previously steady movements suddenly paused.
On the screen, an abnormal file with multiple layers of encryption was forcibly opened.
The file does not contain a complete photograph.
There were only a few blurry surveillance images and blank pages with a large number of permissions manually removed.
The name is still there.
Chen Mo.
Nite Owl stared at the name, but didn't speak immediately.
Very little of the information was preserved in the documents.
But this very lack of information actually indicates a significant problem.
More importantly, S.H.I.E.L.D.. internally classified him as a threat.
A cosmic threat, plus a small note: that may not be enough.
Nite Owl thought of Ultraman.
That idiot may be arrogant, but his fighting ability is undeniable.
Under normal circumstances, even if he were held up by the world's defenses, he should still have a chance to send a signal back.
But so far, there's nothing.
No help was requested.
There is no coordinate feedback.
Even the combat suit itself lost its feedback signal.
The Nite Owl put away the data disk.
"Let's evacuate first."
The Superwoman looked at him.
"What did you say?"
We need to get out of here first.
The Nite Owl turned and walked away.
" Ultraman's disappearance is not an accident. There are high-risk individuals in this world that we don't understand, and there's no point in staying any longer until we confirm his information."
Speedster Johnny paused for a moment.
" Nite Owl, are you scared?"
Nite Owl stopped and glanced at him.
"I'm trying to prevent you from dying in a stupid way."
The command center was silent for half a second.
Superwoman frowned, but did not refute.
She understands the Nite Owl.
This man won't change his plans because of ordinary accidents.
Since he said to withdraw, it means that the intelligence has revealed something that could affect the entire invasion operation.
Johnny.
"Nite Owl said."
"You stay here and probe the strength of the pursuers, then use the single-person teleportation device to evacuate at any time."
Why me?
Because you're the fastest.
Speedster Johnny spread his hands.
"Okay, I like that reason."
Nite Owl, Superwoman, and the Power Ring walk towards the broken passage.
Just as the group left the command center, a piercing sonic boom suddenly came from above.
The ceiling of the underground base suddenly bulged up.
Then.
boom!
The crimson-gold armor tore through layers of metal, carrying intense heat and debris, and crashed headlong into the center of the command room.
Smoke and dust billowed.
Two palm-shaped cannons lit up with white light.
Tony stood up, his cold voice coming from the gaps in his visor.
" JARVIS, tell me."
Who is the intruder?
Speedster Johnny stood on the other side of the ruins, glanced down at the exoskeleton remains on the ground, and then looked at the Iron Man Armor in front of him.
He grinned.
"Oh, so it's the red tinplate that's arrived."
