Chapter 1266 Iron Guard Plan
"Perhaps it's because social security has improved and there's no need for these superheroes to go out so frequently?"

Heather blinked and explained for the Hell Raven and Ghost Spider.

This is not an excuse on his part, but rather the number of particularly serious super criminal cases in the world today has decreased significantly.

The existence of the Hero Association has led more and more superheroes to accept standardized constraints, making superheroes gradually become a new "legal profession."

At the same time, super criminals are losing human rights protection in more and more countries that cooperate with the Hero Association, and the land suitable for their activities and survival has become extremely scarce.

As one grew stronger, the other declined, and all of a sudden, the super criminals that were once extremely rampant became a rare species.

In order to ensure that the superheroes have a place to vent their excessive energy, the Hero Association has established related industries around the world. Movies, TV series, interviews, albums, autobiographies, animations... those superheroes with distinctive looks and good singing and dancing have embarked on the road of idolization with the help of the Hero Association.

Many superheroes can also use their extraordinary abilities to benefit mankind under the guidance and introduction of the Hero Association. For example, Storm is now an honorary agricultural ambassador in many countries, and her weather control ability has a great role in promoting agricultural production.

Today, Hell's Kitchen has completely lost the conditions for the breeding and proliferation of evil, and has even become a famous tourist check-in spot.

Kingpin and his super criminal minions were caught one after another, and those little Karamis who were not worthy of being in the spotlight either changed their careers or hid in their houses trembling. From then on, the residents of New York City were no longer afraid to go out at night.

Naturally, the attendance rates of Hell Raven and Ghost Spider are getting lower and lower, and they are deliberately fading out of people's sight.

Heather and Gwen just want to live a simple life like ordinary people.

After hearing what Heather said, Mary Jane thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed, no matter who they really are, Ghost Spider and Hell Raven are good neighbors and good partners who protect the citizens of New York. If they really want to retire, I will sincerely wish them a peaceful life."

Gwen and Heather smiled at each other and held their hands tighter.

Then Mary Jane changed the subject: "But the Hell Raven and Ghost Spider are fine, but why hasn't that showy Iron Man shown up recently? It's been almost two months. Could it be that Tony Stark has started to live an ascetic life to cultivate his body and mind?"

Heather and Gwen really don't know much about Iron Man.

Could it be that that showy guy with a mustache is back to his old ways and running off somewhere to pick up some pretty ladies and indulge in some gentle pleasures?

..............................

"I guess everyone is talking about me right now."

On the top floor of Stark Tower, Tony Stark sat on the sofa in a suit and tie, shaking a glass of wine in his hand, and said in a proud tone:
"Either people speculated that Iron Man was about to retire, or that I, a former playboy, couldn't bear the loneliness and ran to hang out with women.

Tsk, I think the world's impression of both Iron Man and me is a bit biased."

"Really? I think their opinion of you is very appropriate, boss."

Sitting opposite Tony was an Asian beauty, she sat elegantly on the sofa with her long black hair tied up on top of her head.

"Oh, Helen. Your words are more destructive than the laser beams of the Iron Man." Tony laughed.

This lady is called Zhao Helen, a Korean scientist, and she was an old friend of Tony Stark. Because of her extraordinary talent, Tony, who used to have a bad character and was unruly, looked at her differently and regarded her as a genius who was equal to him.

Two months ago, Tony personally flew to South Korea to invite Zhao Hailun to work together for an unprecedented great cause.

After listening to Tony's blueprint for the future, Zhao Hailun joined Tony's team without hesitation.

Later, Tony recruited Bruce Banner as his assistant. Yes, not the Hulk but Bruce Banner.

In Tony Stark's opinion, Bruce Banner's talent is much more valuable than the Hulk's exaggerated green tendon meat.

Just as Zhao Helen and Tony Stark were enjoying a glass of wine, Jarvis' voice suddenly rang out in the room -

【Sir, communication from Dr. Banner.】

Then, Bruce Banner's tired voice echoed through the room: "Tony, Helen, you guys didn't go to the top floor to drink again?"

Tony said loudly, "Hey, Bruce, don't be so tense, come with us to the Happy Lounge and relax."

"You are so leisurely, have you ever considered the opinions of the investors behind the scenes?" Bruce asked quietly.

When the investor behind the scenes was mentioned, Tony Stark's face froze and he even stopped shaking the wine glass in his hand.

As a billionaire, Tony Stark has always been an investor. He never expected that there would be a day when he would be invested in, and this opportunity was something he had worked hard to get.

"Okay, okay, you always manage to convince me, Bruce."

Tony put down his glass helplessly, stood up, straightened his suit, and looked across: "Ladies first?"

Zhao Helen nodded gracefully.

As the elevator descended, the two arrived at the huge laboratory on the 65th floor of Stark Tower.

Bruce Banner was walking around in a white coat, and in front of him were a large number of 3D projection screens with countless parameters and simple drawings of mechas.

"No. 19430 to No. 19730 [Iron Guard] have been produced and are being matched with the corresponding energy cores."

Seeing Tony and Zhao Helen come in, Bruce Banner pinched his brows and finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"If you don't come down, I'm going on strike."

Tony looked at the 3D screen while wearing a white coat: "Are they all deployed at the th Low Earth Orbit Space Station?"

"Yes, Station 4 is almost full. Do you want to start Station 5?"

"Suspend the Iron Guard Project for now."

Tony turned his head and looked at Zhao Hailun, who was also wearing a white coat: "Let's see where the Cradle Project is at?"

Zhao Hailun nodded and led the two to the hidden elevator inside the laboratory.

Three people walked in a relatively narrow and dark room, and the sound of their footsteps hitting the metal floor echoed.

In the center of this dark room, hundreds of thick cables converge from all directions and connect to a three-meter-long oval 'cradle'.

The entire cradle is wrapped in precision machinery and metal plates, with only a small window covered with transparent glass at the top.

Tony walked to the cradle, and the orchid light shone through the glass cover onto his face, presenting a cold tone.

"It's a masterpiece, isn't it?" he murmured, staring at the inside of the glass cover with fascination.

A human figure can be vaguely seen lying in the cradle, with a gem shining with golden light inlaid on the forehead.

"It's almost done. Our masterpiece, our vision. The Earth will be protected by the Armor. No one will be injured or even die while resisting foreign forces. The Iron Guard will become the protector of the Earth.

And these 19,730 Iron Guards will have an unparalleled leader, an absolutely rational leader who will not be disturbed by emotions. "

Tony's hand touched the glass cover, and the golden light and the blue light intertwined and shone through his fingers.

"The most perfect masterpiece, [Ultron]."
