The era of American comics begins

Chapter 315 Global Invasion
"That, boss."

Tianjian headquarters, the commander's office, Wanda hesitated, and said.

"I seem to be a mutant."

"Oh."

Wanda was taken aback for a moment.

"Boss, aren't you surprised at all?" She asked strangely, "Shouldn't you at least ask about the evidence?"

Michael gently moved his finger away from the transparent screen hanging in front of the desk, and exchanged glances with the surprised little witch.

"I knew it a long time ago." He said calmly, "Not only you, you and Pietro are mutants. I have seen your genetic test results as early as you joined Tianjian, and found that you both carry Very active X gene."

Wanda opened her mouth wide.

"So you've always known, then you...then why didn't you tell us???"

Michael squinted at her and said indifferently: "You never asked."

"That's right. Wait, that's not the problem, is it? You clearly know that we are mutants, but you never have. At least you should mention it when you recruit us into the team?"

"Is there any need?" Michael's tone was still calm, "It doesn't matter whether you are a mutant or an ability enhancer. Is there a difference between these things? You have potential, and I have recruited you because of your talent. It's as simple as that." .”

He paused, raised his head and looked directly into the little witch's eyes.

"Don't think too much about it. It doesn't matter what the source of the ability is, but you are you, you are the Scarlet Witch, one of the people I trust most, and this will not change no matter what."

Wanda was startled, her lips parted slightly, but she closed them again without saying a word, her expression became a little subtle.

Michael dragged the floating screen back in front of him, just blocking his face.

"Okay, if it's just these things, you can go back." He said impatiently—it sounded like he was impatient on purpose, "As you can see, I still have a lot of things to do .”

"Yes." The little witch nodded slightly.She retreated to the door obediently, stopped before going out, said "thank you" in a voice so soft that only she could hear it - for the almost unconditional trust that this person gave her, and then disappeared outside the door.

The office door was locked again.Michael didn't continue to bury his head in his work, but threw the floating screen in front of him aside and leaned back in the chair, as if it was just a prop for decoration.

Shirley appeared on the seat opposite the table, and the image of the virtual girl was lying on the chair, with her hands resting on the back of the chair, and her delicate chin was resting on the back of her hands.

"Hey, boss, it's true. You obviously have nothing to do now, but you deliberately say that you are busy." She chuckled and said, "I am the one who is really busy."

Michael didn't change his face, and crossed his fingers: "I just need my personal space to think."

"Yes, you are the boss and you have the final say." Shirley said jokingly.It's almost starting to become her mantra.

She shook her head, a head of virtual long hair hanging from the side of the seat, almost touching the floor.

"But boss, it's not that I want to comment on your actions. I'm just curious." She paused, showing a puzzled expression, "You designed me to observe and learn from human beings. According to me Observing everyone so far, I have found that human beings, at least most of them, are social animals. I have found that no one can exist independently of the group, and even the most solitary person always has to Connect with someone else.

Even occasionally, people who live in their past and become withdrawn because they are stuck in a past that they can't get out of can't get out of it, and they no longer connect with others. Such people are often with their dead relatives, friends or Lovers have an unforgettable bond.At the end of the day, it's their connection to other people that makes them extreme. "

She paused, and dropped her joking tone.

"But I found... I found that, boss, you never seem to have a really close relationship with anyone else." She said, "Based on my observation, it's better to say that the boss only communicates with other people at a minimum, but it seems You are deliberately avoiding further connections with other people. From my point of view, Miss Maximov should be the person who is closest to a certain boundary, but you seem to be avoiding unnecessary communication with her beyond what is necessary."

"Because it's unnecessary." Michael said calmly, "Because there are many other things to do than these unnecessary things."

"That's right." Shirley was thoughtful, and seemed to understand a little bit.

The display screen that Michael threw aside before suddenly jumped out again, and a map automatically popped up on the screen, with a big exclamation mark hanging on it.

Not just this screen, all the projection equipment in the office turned on at the same time as if they were out of control.All the devices cast a transparent floating screen at the same time, and a different map popped up on each screen, with a red exclamation sign representing a danger warning. The sirens of "beeps" came and went, superimposed and reverberated in the office.

Michael frowned: "Shirley, what's the situation?"

"Attack alert." Shirley's expression became serious, and she changed her sitting posture. "Something suddenly broke into the atmosphere and launched an attack on a very large scale!"

"What is it, where is it located?"

"The enemy's identity is unknown, but giant battleships and a large number of combat machines have landed in the urban area! The location... the location is the entire earth!"

***
New York City.

Overwhelming enemies, unprecedented sci-fi spaceships, giant machines with weird shapes, and countless humanoid fighting machines that jumped out of the spaceships and machines to the streets. The whole army seems to have no sign at all. It sprang out of thin air, and suddenly swept the entire city.

They cover a huge area, and as far as witnesses on the street have seen, these things just pop out of nowhere.They appeared in a blinding white light, and their fire was so fierce that nothing could stop it.By the time people came to their senses, the whole city had been engulfed in flames.

Of course, the Avengers were dispatched immediately.Their main goal is to assist the people. While fighting the ubiquitous robots on the streets, they quickly guide the people to evacuate.But even these ordinary machines, which look most like miscellaneous soldiers, are not as easy to deal with as their appearance. Their steel bodies are surprisingly hard, and the power of their most conventional weapons is also exaggerated.The first droid squad the Avengers encountered on the street put them in a tough fight.

But like every day-to-day encounter with the Avengers, it seems like things are only ever going to go from bad to worse.

They were still fighting with the group of machine warriors on the street, and their heavy footsteps slowly approached from a few streets away.

It was like a drumstick hitting a drumhead, except that the drumhead was the street itself under their feet.Every time the sound is heard, the debris on the ground will splash once, trembling in everyone's heart.

A silhouette nearly 20 meters high emerges from the corner of the street.It was a heavy machine with a golden body, and two heavy cannons that looked daunting were mounted on its shoulders. When it moved, it was full of scraping sounds from metal parts.

Spider-Man, who was squatting on the head of a robot and entangled the head of the robot with a spider web, stopped his movements involuntarily, stared at the big guy slowly approaching, and asked in a low voice: "That. Mister Tucker? You must have a set of armor this big too, right?"

Tony's face twitched under the mask.

"After today, I will definitely do something like this."
