American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

This is a huge trump card!

Maximus immediately understood what this magical dimension could bring him. It could bring him great power and strength! And all he invested was his intelligence and the knowledge system accumulated by Attilan!

This exchange is great!

Yes, Maximus thought so! Because throughout the royal family, his intelligence in research was top-notch! Perhaps it was because his previously awakened abilities were not obvious, like a failure, which led him to put all his energy into learning all kinds of knowledge about Attilan. His efforts were not disappointed the moment he connected to that magical dimension.

The only thing that made Maximus a little suspicious was that this magical dimension was not unique to him! It seemed to have its own set of operating methods, with its own [currency] transaction settlement system and authority system. This made Maximus feel very bad.

It was like a precious treasure that was originally thought to belong only to him, but its ownership was unclear, with a vast number of unknown competitors. This made him feel that his own treasure had been defiled.

But Maximus firmly believed that he could win the competition for authority in the magical dimension, after all, this was a game for smart people, a battlefield for inventors. Only various knowledge, data, and technological inventions could gain him an increase in authority within this dimension, and who could compare with him in this regard?

He was a genius in research and development, and he had the technological accumulation of thousands of years of Attilan. He used this investment to reactivate his hidden super-gene and gradually inject nutrients into it like a seedling, allowing it to grow.

No Inhuman could maintain calm in the face of this situation. Maximus even felt that as long as he revealed some information, he could easily rally a crowd with a single call.

Unfortunately, Maximus didn't want to do this for the time being. For no other reason than that he was a person with an extremely strong desire for possession and control, just like his booming ambition. The dimensional resources he currently controlled would definitely be given priority for his own use, as well as a few confidants.

Now, he has set his sights on his close neighbor, wanting to rule the humans above, collect their knowledge system and talents, and let them create technology for him. Moreover, it can also solve the tense situation of Attilan's land resources and energy.

It's a pity that his rigid brother rejected his proposal.

He could only do it himself.

...

"You said that usurper, his target is us?" Nick sat in a high-backed chair. He was currently busy haggling with those Osborne enterprises over the allocation of quotas, so he had been rooted in the metropolis during this time, and the headquarters were left to Agent Maria Hill to help him sit in charge. At this moment, he was taking time out of his rest to meet with guests from Attilan.

"Yes. Attilan is an aerial city with limited land resources and is overcrowded. The conflicts between the upper and lower classes are increasing day by day. Maximus had a proposal some time ago to conquer this planet and then rule mankind so that all Inhumans who are struggling to survive can get rid of this predicament. Black Bolt rejected this proposal, and Maximus overthrew the rule of his brother, Black Bolt, who is also my brother-in-law," Crystal replied.

"Why does everyone want to invade this planet? Do we look so easy to bully?" Nick's tone was full of helplessness. It hadn't been too long since the Chitauri invasion, and now there was another Attilan Inhuman invasion. Decades ago, there was also a Kree invasion.

So much disaster.

However, Nick didn't pay too much attention to the so-called Maximus. He wasn't completely ignorant of the Inhumans. There were traces of Inhumans on this planet. They were a group of gene mutants with all kinds of strange abilities. Most of their abilities were flashy and useless.

Compared to the threat, the mutants infected with the mechanical virus caused by AIM were more tricky and troublesome! At least now the aftermath of the mutants is still spreading, and there is no real intention to calm down. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have to deal with multiple mutant crime cases every day.

With the armament of Hebron technology, the agents and overall combat effectiveness of S.H.I.E.L.D. are already different. Nick didn't think those Inhumans could gain any advantage. Not to mention that they also had the Supreme Mage and Luke, as well as the Avengers team.

Of course, not thinking that the other party could cause much trouble didn't mean that Nick wouldn't pay attention to it. If he really didn't pay attention to it, he wouldn't have reduced his rest time in his busy schedule to come and meet Crystal in person, but would have handed it over to Agent Coulson to handle on his behalf.

He wanted to know more information about Attilan in order to be prepared and know the enemy.

Crystal curled her lips. She really wanted to say that was the case, but after Luke's face suddenly flashed in her mind, her confidence was inexplicably discounted, and she couldn't say it anymore. To this day, she still couldn't figure out how Luke blocked Lockjaw's teleportation ability.

"Do you have more information about that Maximus and Attilan that you can tell us?" Nick saw Crystal's hesitations. Based on his observation of micro-expressions, Nick could easily guess what the girl in front of him was thinking, but he didn't care, he just wanted to dig more information out of her mouth.

Their current goal was to go to space, and the moon, as a resource star close at hand, must be taken. This might be an opportunity.

"Maximus is a research maniac. After he failed to awaken during the awakening ceremony, he immersed himself in his inventions. I don't know much about him, I only know that he has always been his brother Black Bolt's little follower, enjoying the treatment of royalty in Attilan by virtue of his brother's identity. Although Attilan's population is overcrowded, the total number is not very large in strict terms. The vast majority of them are ordinary people who have failed to awaken or have not participated in the awakening ceremony."

Crystal said simply, "In fact, as long as you find Black Bolt and my sister, you can fight against Maximus. Black Bolt has great power. Because the power he possesses is too powerful, he cannot speak. Otherwise, the power will turn into powerful sound waves and destroy everything! That Luke told me that you can help me quickly find those people, including my sister. We should unite and deal with this crisis together."

"In fact, we have been searching according to the information and location you provided earlier. We are all very lucky." Nick threw out three round, silver-white metal beads. The metal beads stopped in the open space between Crystal and Nick. As Nick pressed a controller in his hand, the metal beads glowed with light and shadow, projecting a three-dimensional projection in the area between the two.

The projected image was a man opening his mouth and spewing out a powerful sound wave, directly overturning and scrapping a police car, and the man was caught and taken to the police station and into prison.

"That's him!" Seeing the familiar face, Crystal exclaimed in surprise and pointed, but her expression quickly became confused and puzzled: "Why are these people in the picture arresting him?"

"As far as I know, it's because he didn't pay for the clothes he bought. The store decisively called the police." Nick grinned, thinking of another visitor from outer space, the former Prince Thor, who was also a penniless, strong-eating and white-taking character. But fortunately, there was a Jane Foster to help him deal with the subsequent troubles.

"Do you need money to buy clothes?" Crystal was even more confused. As Inhuman royalty, they were used to enjoying themselves and had no concept of paying.

"There's another one." Nick controlled the picture to switch to another scene. It was a short-haired, charming woman with a gun fighting against several policemen under the lights of the night.

"This is my sister." Crystal looked at Medusa in the picture, confirmed it, and asked again in a loss: "What did she do again?"

"She had a conflict with the police and is wanted. You outsiders always do some troublesome things to announce your existence. I don't think this is good." Nick stood up.

"Do you know where they are now? I have to find them!" Crystal looked at Nick and asked expectantly.

"That Black Bolt has escaped from prison, but it's not difficult to find him. Also," Nick picked up his communicator and looked at it, then raised his head and said to Crystal: "There is another group of people without identities who are also looking for them. Do you know these people?"

The picture changed into the appearance of a group of men and women, like photos, switching one by one in front of Crystal.

"I know her, her name is Oran, she is Maximus's accomplice, and this faceless one is called Modis, his ability is very dangerous. These are all Maximus's subordinates," Crystal certified the people in the picture one by one.

"Obviously, that Mr. Maximus wants to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots," Nick said without surprise.

"Is your technology and efficiency so high? I have to admire you." Crystal was surprised and happy that Nick could easily find these people. After all, the stronger the power here, the greater the help they could get. At least that was the case when facing those Maximus's subordinates.

Nick sighed inwardly, who made these people unlucky? Just after the Chitauri invasion, those mages have been frantically improving and adding new enchantments and perception nets this past year. It would be strange if you people who came to this planet by unconventional means were not noticed. If your threat level was not too low, and you were not invaders from other dimensions, then the one who would meet you would not be me, but that group of mages.

The greatest convenience that Nick can experience as a partner now is that in similar situations, the mages will give him a piece of information. They don't care how to deal with them, but this information undoubtedly helps Nick reduce a lot of trouble in information collection, allowing him to gain an advantage in time and information from the beginning.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, there is also the latest news." Nick waved his hand: "Maximus's representative sent us a diplomatic letter. Saying that a group of vicious criminals escaped here, let us help find and capture them. They also sent relevant photos and information. More detailed than what you told us, except that the identity information may be fake. The information given by the other party is that this is a group of rebels."

Crystal was struck as if by lightning. She didn't expect to hear such a bolt from the blue from Nick's mouth.

"How dare he!" Crystal was so angry that she was almost incoherent.

"You need to calm down." Nick motioned for the emotional Crystal to calm down.

"You won't believe his lies, will you?" Crystal stared at Nick and asked anxiously.

"We don't believe anyone without more information." Nick replied. "But if what you said is true, then we have a foundation of trust."

"Of course what I said is true!" Crystal was angry at Nick's suspicion. "That Maximus, he is lying! His goal is to invade you!"

"Things will always come to light. As long as we catch the people on both sides." Nick obviously planned to wipe out both groups of people indiscriminately. He believed that S.H.I.E.L.D. had this power! Even if that Black Bolt's ability was very dangerous.

This was also a test. If the other party still chose not to cooperate when Crystal was on their side, then it was obvious that the other party was not trustworthy. But based on the other party's performance in the police station after being arrested, Black Bolt's character was not tyrannical, and he was a person who could communicate and suppress his emotions.

"Can you make the decision here? If your superiors accept Maximus's alliance request at that time, will you be hostile to us?" Crystal asked uneasily.

"First of all, they didn't make an alliance request, they just asked us to help search for Black Bolt and them, and hand them over after capturing them. Also, I couldn't be sure what choice the above would make in the past, but now, the above is our people." Nick had a smile in his only eye: "So you are really lucky."

...

"Are you sure Crystal's initial teleportation point was here?" A man with dense green patterns on his arm looked at a detached villa in the distance and asked his partner sideways.

"That's right, the landing point of the spatial fluctuation is here!" The person being asked nodded affirmatively. His ability was to sense spatial fluctuations. With this ability, he had successively determined the landing points of multiple targets. He was confident that his ability would not be wrong.

"This distance is just right, let's go." The man said, but his feet didn't move. Instead, he closed his eyes, and the dense green patterns on his arm seemed to come alive, emitting a verdant green light.

The plants in the area between them and the villa suddenly grew eye-like patterns, like relay transmission, approaching the location of the villa.
