"I only managed to rescue Nick Fury and Black Widow. The other Super Heroes—Falcon, Hawkeye, Winter Soldier, Dr. Banner, and the rest—were captured by Iron Man."
Strange sighed. "Let’s not talk about that for now. New York is too dangerous. We should return to base first."
"Alright."
Wang Bert and Tony nodded at the same time, then followed Strange through the portal.
On the other side of the portal lay the Wakandan grasslands. Director Fury and Black Widow were waiting for them. The moment Black Widow saw Tony, she said with a look of disgust, "Can you change your face? I really want to punch that face right now. Punch it to death."
"You want to punch such a handsome face?"
Tony cracked a joke first, then sighed. "I want to punch that old man too. The way he is now, he’s really unbearable."
Director Fury asked sharply, "You met Iron Man?"
"We did."
Wang Bert nodded and flicked his hand. The previous scene appeared and played before everyone like a movie.
Everyone fell silent after watching it. Director Fury sighed. "Iron Man’s idea isn’t wrong, but his methods are. He’s like I used to be—he took the wrong path because he was too impatient."
"Are you talking about Project Insight?" Black Widow asked. "It really is similar. I never expected Iron Man to become Hydra too, much less that he’d kill Captain. I will never forgive him."
Director Fury nodded. By killing Captain and Spider-Man, Iron Man had completely fallen into darkness.
"I never thought Earth’s future would still be so full of disasters."
Strange sighed. The multiverse, Black Dr. Strange… This place called Earth really was cursed.
"We have to stop Iron Man. The public needs safety, but they also need freedom and privacy," Director Fury said. Wang Bert looked at Nick Fury and nearly rolled his eyes. And you have the nerve to talk about privacy? Everyone knows this Black Egg monitors Earth every day. Strange stared at the Golden Triangle Cone in the image and said, "The best way to solve this is to take down Iron Man directly. The problem is, we can’t beat him right now. That cone suppresses all magic. In front of him, Kamar-Taj is no different from ordinary people."
Black Widow could not help asking Wang Bert, "Blood God, even you can’t handle Iron Man? You’re a god who sweeps through everything!"
"If my true body were here, that cone would be nothing. The problem is, I’m only a clone—a clone that hasn’t reached the Ancient God level."
Wang Bert shook his head. "I need some time to crack that cone. By the way, Director Fury, has Captain Marvel returned?"
"She’s on her way back, but Tony has probably already prepared a way to deal with her," Director Fury said. Iron Man was even more powerful than he had imagined. He even possessed a heaven-defying divine artifact like that cone.
Black Widow secretly shook her head. Even the Blood God could not handle him. Captain Marvel probably would not be able to either, even if this Blood God was only a clone.
Tony stroked his chin and said, "That cone only restricts magic, not technology. If I have enough raw materials, I might be able to design a set of Anti-Iron Man Armor and take down that old man."
Wang Bert mocked, "Can you change the name? In some universe, you’re famous for getting countered by whoever you try to counter."
"That’s other people, not me," Tony said arrogantly.
Director Fury shook his head. "Iron Man has future technology. Your armor can’t beat his."
"My technology won’t lose to his future technology. My technology has even slaughtered gods," Tony said proudly. He felt that Materialism Power was practically heaven giving him a chance to steal Bert’s spotlight.
"Before we deal with Iron Man, I think we should deal with Loki first," Wang Bert said after some thought. "On one hand, I want to know what Iron Man experienced during the time he was missing, especially that so-called Time Variance Authority.
"On the other hand, Loki is covered in Infinity Stones. If we don’t deal with him first, it’ll be difficult to deal with Iron Man."
"That’s true."
Nick Fury thought of something and said, "Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy are returning to Earth. I think we can use Thor to set a trap. Loki’s love for Thor runs very deep."
Everyone could not help laughing. Loki was Thor’s fiancée, so he would definitely go see Thor.
"We can plan it out," Wang Bert said. Just then, Nick Fury’s phone rang. When he answered it, a light screen popped up. Black Panther appeared with an ugly expression and said, "Iron Man is preparing to go to war with Wakanda."
"What? Iron Man is going to attack Wakanda?"
Everyone was stunned. Nick Fury frowned. "That’s impossible, right? I’m not saying it’s impossible for him to attack Wakanda. I’m saying it’s impossible for him to attack Wakanda this quickly. He just became president and hasn’t even settled America’s internal affairs. How could he attack Wakanda so soon?"
"Iron Man wants Wakanda to hand over its Vibranium, or he’ll declare war on us," Black Panther said. "Wakanda will never surrender its Vibranium, so he will definitely attack Wakanda."
Black Widow could not help asking, "Could it be because we’re in Wakanda?"
"You mean Iron Man wants to wipe us all out in one stroke?" Director Fury said. "That makes some sense. We can’t abandon Wakanda. Without Wakanda, we’ll be even less able to fight Iron Man."
After thinking for a moment, Strange suggested, "Black Panther, perhaps you can relocate. With Kamar-Taj, the relocation can be done very quickly."
"We will not abandon Vibranium, and we will not abandon Wakanda. If we truly can’t win, we will live and die with Wakanda," Black Panther said without hesitation. For Wakanda, as long as the land remained, its people remained; when the land fell, its people fell with it.
Everyone was helpless, but they also knew Wakandans were all stubborn-minded and would never run away.
Director Fury sighed. "That’s Iron Man’s purpose. He wants to finish everything in one battle and eliminate us completely."
"You aren’t Wakandans. You can leave," Black Panther said. "You don’t need to feel guilty about this. Even without you, Iron Man would have come, because he wants Vibranium."
"Iron Man does indeed want Vibranium. He wants to create a Vibranium Legion to protect Earth," Wang Bert said. "He said before that he would handle Earth’s external threats by himself."
"A Vibranium Legion?"
Everyone was somewhat surprised. Still, if there really were such a legion, Earth would certainly be much safer.
Black Panther stressed again, "Vibranium does not belong to Iron Man. Vibranium belongs to Wakanda. How it is used will be decided by Wakanda itself."
"A Vibranium Legion? Wait, if Iron Man can make a Vibranium Legion, then I can too!" Tony thought of something and said excitedly. "Black Panther, cooperate with me to create a Vibranium Legion. This is technological power, so the cone can’t suppress it."
"We can make a Vibranium Legion too?"
Everyone’s eyes lit up. Black Panther glanced at the "younger version" of Tony and said hesitantly, "Although I am Wakanda’s king, even I cannot use too much Vibranium. The elders will not agree."
"That’s a small matter. Tell those elders that ownership of all the Vibranium robots will belong to you. In other words, after the war, all those Vibranium robots will be yours," Tony said generously.
"Really?" Black Panther asked in surprise.
"Of course it’s true. I’m not from your universe, so I won’t embezzle your things. Besides, our universe doesn’t lack Vibranium," Tony said with a smile.
"If that’s the case, there definitely won’t be a problem. We’ll provide as much Vibranium as you need. Also, I’ll have Shuri open all production lines and manufacture Vibranium robots as quickly as possible," Black Panther said immediately.
"Tony, it’s not that I don’t have faith in you, but can your technology really surpass Iron Man’s?" Strange asked. "He’s more than ten years older than you, and he possesses future technology."
"Don’t worry. My Vibranium Legion will definitely defeat his Ultron Legion," Tony said confidently. "On one hand, my robots are Vibranium robots, so their materials are better. On the other hand, aside from my own technology, the Vibranium robots will also contain Reed’s, Ivan’s, and the others’ technology. No matter how impressive Old Tony is, he can’t be a match for our genius team."
"You have other people’s technology?" Black Widow asked in surprise.
"I don’t, but someone does." Tony looked at Wang Bert and mocked, "Someone has been having a wonderful time using other people’s technology on Mutant Planet."
Everyone looked toward Wang Bert. Wang Bert smiled. "I have a habit of collecting technology. Ivan’s black hole technology, Old Ant-Man’s Pym Particles, Reed’s spatial technology, Shuri’s Quantum Communication technology—I have them all."
Everyone was rather surprised. The Blood God was actually a hoarder who liked collecting technology.
"You even have Pym Particles. That gives me even more confidence," Tony said impatiently. "Let’s get to work. I’m going to utterly defeat Old Tony and let him know that everything he did was wrong."
"I’ll have Shuri prepare a laboratory for you immediately," Black Panther said with a nod, then vanished from the light screen. Director Fury put away his phone, his gaze flickering. Was it really alright for all the Vibranium robots to belong to Wakanda? Tony was about to head to the laboratory when Wang Bert stopped him and asked, "Tony, will mutants be suppressed by Materialism Power?"
"Mutants? That’s hard to say." Tony thought for a moment. "Genes are high technology, but mutant powers aren’t very scientific. Besides, we don’t know much about that cone. Many things are just speculation."
"Is that so? We should still try. It might be useful."
Wang Bert took a little metal figure from his sleeve and tossed it onto the ground. The little figure rapidly expanded into a tall Sentinel Robot. Then, the Sentinel Robot saluted Wang Bert. "Sentinel greets BOSS."
"I can smell Jarvis on it." Tony looked at Wang Bert with disdain. The Sentinel’s intelligent system had obviously copied Jarvis.
"When did you evolve an information nose?" Wang Bert mocked, then said to the Sentinel, "Follow Tony to Wakanda’s warehouses. Find a way to reproduce X-Metal and create a Sentinel Squad."
The Sentinel Robot nodded. "Yes, BOSS."
Wang Bert said, "Tony, tell Black Panther that I’ll return twice the Vibranium I use afterward."
Tony nodded first, then asked curiously, "Alright. By the way, Bert, you actually brought a robot with you?"
"Things that are too powerful can’t be brought over. My true body had me bring some small things for self-defense," Wang Bert said. "Tony, focus on making the Vibranium robots. We’ll find a way to deal with Loki first."
"Alright."
Tony nodded and left with the Sentinel Robot. After thinking for a moment, Director Fury said, "Those Wakandans don’t know how to be flexible when doing things. I’ll go help them buy some time. Leave Loki to you."
"Alright."
Wang Bert, Strange, and Black Widow nodded at the same time. After some thought, Wang Bert said to Director Fury, "Director Fury, find out where those Super Heroes are being held. They were just captured, so they probably haven’t been dealt with yet."
Director Fury nodded. "Alright, but don’t get your hopes up too much. After five years, my intelligence network has long since been cut off."
"What a pity this body doesn’t have Money Power. Otherwise, this would be much easier." Wang Bert sighed. The Mutant God was at the Creator God level, so it was fundamentally impossible for him to enter Future Time-Space.
Wang Bert pondered, To fight Materialism Power, I need even stronger mental power. Perhaps the Mind Stone can help me. Conveniently, Loki has some for sale.
During the battle against Chthon, Wang Bert’s Bald Clone had successfully grasped the Mind Concept. However, due to the restrictions of the contract, this clone was only at the peak of the god level and had not broken through to the Ancient God level.
Therefore, Wang Bert needed to rely on external objects to fight Materialism Power. As for whether the Mind Stone would work, he would only know after trying it.
Nick Fury liked hiding his true strength. He had just said that his intelligence network had been cut off, yet the next moment he sent over the location where the Super Heroes were imprisoned.
The White House! That was right, Iron Man had locked Banner and the others in the White House so he could watch over them nearby.
Black Widow shook her head. "We can’t save them. Iron Man is always at the White House, and there are a large number of his robots outside."
"Not necessarily." Wang Bert smiled. "Iron Man’s Materialism Power won’t be active all the time. I should be able to rescue Dr. Banner and the others."
Strange and Black Widow were both delighted. "Really?"
"Of course." Wang Bert said. Since his true body had dared send him to save the Future Universe, he naturally had sufficient abilities. In fact, if Materialism Power were not so overpowered, Iron Man would have been dealt with long ago.
Even the Infinity Stones could not stop Bald Wang Bert. After all, he also possessed the power of the Infinity Stones.
How did that saying go again? It wasn’t that Bert was weak—it was just that Tony had Materialism.
Thinking of something, Strange reminded him, "Blood God, don’t be careless. With Iron Man’s intelligence, he must have laid an impenetrable net around the White House. For example, instruments that monitor spatial fluctuations, or cameras that detect Ant-Man, and so on."
Wang Bert smiled. "It’s fine. He can’t detect my power."
In the White House dungeon, Old Tony walked down from upstairs. The moment Dr. Pym saw him, he immediately cursed, "You can never trust anyone from the Stark Family, because the Stark Family produces nothing but thieves and liars."
Dr. Pym’s anger was understandable. Not only had he been captured, but his wife and daughter had been captured as well. In addition, Ant-Man Scott Lang was also there.
Simply put, the most important thing for a family was being together, neat and whole.
