Marvel Magic Event Book

"I don't even know where your hostility towards Americans comes from, why don't you tell me?" Nick Fury sneered, "I remember you said that when you were born, there were gold, frankincense and Myrrh? I thought you were Jesus! Given your status as the savior, I could use your perspective."

"Human beings don't need a savior, nor do they need any gods." Salomon also looked disdainful. "The essence of superheroes is the worship of gods by ordinary people. This kind of worship is the most fanatical in the United States - culturally, there are Superman, Batman, in reality, has Captain America and Iron Man. Human beings expect superheroes to do things they can't do themselves, and worship them as idols, regard them as spiritual pillars, and expect them and God is equally omnipotent and can perform miracles. In fact, whether it is religion or the idol industry, they are just to fill the vacancies in the human mind. The underlying theory is the same. The human mind is so fragile, otherwise why do you think it is the supreme being? The mage wants to stop those demons from the earth?

However, the sad thing is that superheroes are also human beings, they are not perfect, and their minds are not much different from ordinary people.In this fanatical environment, as long as they make mistakes, they will be magnified infinitely, because those things they cannot do are equivalent to the blood shed on them. As long as God can bleed, then there will be countless greedy people. Keep your eyes on it.

I have no doubts about the shortsightedness of politicians and the stupidity of Christians. Have you ever heard of the spiral of silence theory?In an age where public opinion is manipulated by social media, this fanatical adoration can be turned into envy as long as you spend a little money to fuel the situation - 'Why can he do it and I can't?He just got lucky! ', 'Just because he has money, if I have money I can do it too! ', then those people who worship superheroes will blame all the bad things in their lives on superheroes. How fanatical the worship was at the beginning, how terrible the catharsis will be in the future.

Sound stupid?Don’t you think it’s short-sighted?This is an inevitable result. This situation is actually the result of the tyranny of the majority. Politicians do not need professional skills or learning how to manage the country. They only need votes and political declarations. The more democratic they are, the stupider they are.The United States, as the largest democracy on earth, is the stupidest. "

"It sounds like you are very dissatisfied with democracy. I can understand it because you live in an authoritarian environment, but I didn't expect that you actually pursue elitism!" Nick Fury stepped on the accelerator and drove the car onto the street.He said with some dissatisfaction, "There is no king or nobility in the United States. Whether the decision is smart or stupid, it is the people's own choice, and the people themselves bear the consequences. At the very least, in this country, people are equal. "

"I'm not elitist, Nick Fury, and equality has always been a false proposition, especially in capitalist countries. Don't tell me you weren't watched by security guards when you were shopping in the supermarket. , how many times have you had to show your ID without being stopped?" Salomon's expression became even more disdainful, "I think most people in the world are stupid, and voting does not require any threshold at all, which will change the fate of mankind. Leaving it in the hands of a bunch of idiots is a recipe for death. Don't forget how the Prohibition-era gangs were involved in politics, and you'd better tell me that the President of the United States is not the spokesman for those syndicates, otherwise your argument will not be convincing at all. "

"So what do you think the best kind of rule looks like?"

"The Supreme Mage has abandoned all his emotions. As a ruler without any selfish feelings, this is what I envision as the ultimate ruling class of mankind. However, this state places a great burden on the human mind. For anyone, It’s all a kind of torture.” Salomon said, “Artificial intelligence is the best choice. Only in that case can everyone’s value be realized and everyone truly equal. I think the Kree Empire is The object of human learning, but we have to do better, I call it the integration of human intelligence."

Nick Fury was silent for a while, and he suddenly realized a possibility, which frightened him a little. "Are you..." He stared at Salomon in disbelief, "I didn't expect you to support another ideology, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain all your thoughts!"

"At least I think that before the integration of human intelligence is completed, that will be the next stage of human society." Salomon nodded, he said, "No country in the world is perfect, because the country is the product of irreconcilable class contradictions. , unless human beings unite all the countries on the earth, they will not be able to enter the next stage. The problem is very complicated, and the theory I have studied does not give the answer, but I think that if human beings cannot colonize outer space, Before the explosion of productivity, these were all empty words.”

"Look, even you don't have the answer yourself, so don't hate the existing system." Nick Fury looked at Big Ben in the distance. At this time, the sky of London showed a glimmer of light, and the clouds were intertwined with warm colors and lead. Color, silence over London, it looks like it might rain today.He said, "These questions should be left to philosophers. This is not a question you should think about at your age - at least the Soviet Union has disintegrated, proving that that road is unworkable. I will take you to have breakfast. I know where delicious."

"You are wrong, Nick Fury, ideas will not perish." Salomon said, "The United States cannot curb the greed of capitalists, and there will be more and more proletarians. Sooner or later, the things you fear will come true. Appear - but I'm afraid it will take a long time. If human society reaches a dead end, I don't mind pushing it from behind."

After a long conversation, Nick Fury and Salomon became more open and honest, and the hostility between the two was slightly relieved. Although he was very opposed to some of Salomon's theories, they were also for the benefit of mankind. Freedom, even a little ideological discord can be put aside temporarily.As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury is very experienced in jet lag, and so is Salomon.After eating a typical London breakfast (Nick Fury paid for it), he asked Salomon to take him back to Washington, so Salomon teleported him and his car to the top of the Tri-Wing Building.

As for how to send the car down, that was not something he had to think about.

After doing these things, Salomon planned to return to Bayonetta's apartment and spend a good night until returning to Old Bridge Town the next morning.But Nick Fury stopped him. He asked Salomon to stay with him and watch the dispatch of the army, because he had ordered the army to rush to Old Bridge Town to establish a position.After the night was over, he ordered the agents to take Jane Foster and Saul to a position in the New Mexico desert to receive military protection and evacuate all the residents of Old Bridge Town to prevent them from being imminently destroyed. The coming battle spreads.Salomon very much agreed with his move. In the view of the mystic, those ordinary people were not worth paying their lives for the disputes of the Asa divine system.

Nick Fury also wanted to know what means Loki would use to attack Thor and who would participate in the assassination.He felt that he didn't know anything about Asgard, so he wanted Salomon to stay by his side and point out problems in time.

Nick Fury also secretly kept an eye on him. He quietly instructed Agent Coulson to collect samples after the explosion of the alchemy bomb out of Salomon's sight.In fact, Nick Fury began to look for information about magic after coming into contact with Salomon, and alchemy was one of them.But apart from the existing chemical formulas, he has never been able to figure out what alchemical magic is. Even the alchemical potions he and Salomon traded were something that the laboratory could not analyze. In the end, because of Tony Si Tucker's physical condition, the number of remaining samples is extremely small.

But when he tried to trade with Salomon again, he was simply rejected by the Mystic - because Tony Stark was also the target of Salomon's observation, and his potions had already supported Stark. Although he wouldn't have to watch Stark die of poisoning in a few months, but before that, he wanted to know what relieved the symptoms of palladium poisoning.

Whatever it is, it can't be lithium dioxide, unless SHIELD wants Tony Stark's life.

"With those potions of yours, Stark's symptoms have been relieved." After Nick Fury sealed the office, he told Salomon the news. "Agent Romanov directly injected the recovery potion into Stark's body." In Tucker’s body, the effect is very good.”

"But it's taken orally, and direct injection will definitely cause systemic infection!" Salomon glanced at Nick Fury's moment, "Don't try to lie to me. What is the truth?"

"The fact is that after we disinfected the agent, we found that its physical properties did not change, so we chose to inject it directly. If you ask more, then I can only answer that this is confidential." Nick Fury raised his eyebrows The eyebrows look a little proud.This was the first time he had defeated Salomon in intelligence, which actually gave him a long-lost sense of accomplishment.You know, since he grew from a low-level agent to the director of the SHIELD branch, he has rarely experienced this feeling, not to mention that he is still the director of SHIELD. This kind of face-to-face intelligence game is almost impossible. It's done by other agents.

"F*ckyou, Nick Fury!" Salomon glared dissatisfied, and then drank a bottle of potion.This was the ultimate energy-boosting elixir, and Salomon would never be stupid enough to let down his guard in SHIELD's territory, which was both his enemy and his friend.

"The Howard Stark box you wanted was also handed over to Tony Stark." Nick Fury seemed to really want to see Salomon's angry expression, and deliberately told the bad news one after another. Spit it out one by one.But surprisingly, Salomon did not express disappointment this time, as if he didn't care about the box.This made Nick Fury a little unsure. He didn't know whether the box was important or not to Salomon.

"I just have a small question." Salomon rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and asked, "Have you done a paternity test on Howard Stark and Tony Stark?"
