Shadow of the Beautiful World

Time to enter the end of 2010.

The earth is still in that calm yet lively atmosphere.

Ordinary people are still living normal and ordinary lives, and they don't feel the undercurrents under the world.

Omnics are still popular, and there is no good solution to the problem of high unemployment caused by this, but it is a fact that omnics facilitate human life, and even the most stubborn people cannot deny this.

In this year, thanks to the rapid development of omniscience, a new form of disease treatment began to emerge around the world.

Omnic prosthetics.

Those high-end and sophisticated mechanical prosthetics can receive brain nerve signals to make accurate and corresponding movements, and they are not limited to limbs.

In a collaboration between the Onika Consortium and the Osborne Group Biolabs, researchers have developed a prosthetic that can completely replace the internal organs of the human body.

Heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, even genitals, eyes and more.

Various and powerful omnic prosthetics have been continuously developed, and driven by the strong industrial capabilities of the Onika Consortium, the prices of these prosthetics have been dropping like a big dive.

Maybe in a few years, the price of these prosthetics will be acceptable to ordinary people.

The east wind of this technology has naturally affected the development of human medicine. Many incurable diseases have the hope of being cured, and for those vegetative people who appear due to various disasters, this is a life-saving means.

In the past six months, more and more news about cyborgs have been reported. After the whole organ transplantation, even the vegetative people who have been bedridden for many years have the hope of walking again.

Of course, this high-end surgical technology is currently monopolized by hospitals under the Future Technology Foundation.

On the one hand, capitalists want to pursue profits.

On the other hand, this technology is far from perfect, and there are some ethical considerations, and not everyone can accept living in the form of a robot.

But in any case, in the eternal war of disease and life, human beings have mastered another weapon.

Now that it works, it's only a matter of time before it spreads around the world.

In the past year, another thing that has worried humans and is related to omnics is the rise of brain chips.

Many technocrats, or young people pursuing new experiences, have begun to implant chips into their bodies.

Most of them are just rudimentary physiological chips, which can be used as a medium to operate some simple instruments without any external devices.

Or simply use the chip as the medium to directly project the game screen in the brain to play the real virtual reality game.

But the rise of this trend has greatly challenged the existing ethical system of human society.

Humans began to actively pursue the transformation of machinery, does this mean the rise of another subculture.

If the research is deeper, it is not difficult to find that most of these pioneers implanted with chips have a good impression of a strange force.

Mechanicus...

A mysterious force hidden behind the industrialization of omnics, a group of special groups who advocate that humans and omnics share the world.

Are they good guys, or bad guys?

What kind of changes will they bring to the world as they develop and grow in such a secret way in human society?

For now, just for now, no one knows.

Of course, all the big events that happened this year must not be related to omnics. More than a month ago, there was an unexpected situation that directly shook the world, and its impact has not really cooled down until today. down.

The world of Asgard that fell from the sky.

What some people call the eighth continent that suddenly appeared on the earth!

Those islands that are as vast as land, those mysterious human beings living on the islands, whose scale reaches millions, and the way they appear in this world.

A huge beam of light descended from the sky!

This is simply like a legend in a fairy tale, but the current news has confirmed that those Asgardians, and those islands, indeed appeared in the light.

They are from beyond Earth!

Most importantly, according to some miraculous gossip, those Asgardians have visited the earth more than once in ancient times, and they are the prototypes of the Norse mythology on the earth!

God King Odin!

Thor!

Sif, the goddess of victory and harvest!

Diva Frigga!

These characters who only exist in legends suddenly appeared on the earth in a way that no one could have imagined. How could this not excite all the people on earth?

This is not the first time the melon-eating people on Earth have come into contact with Asgardians.

When Thor, the God of Thunder, was active as a superhero, he had a wave of star-chasing fever. Even after Thor has been silent for several years, there are still many worshipers of Thor in the society.

And in recent days, after the government relaxed the information control on this matter, a lot of news that seems to be true and false has begun to spread on the Internet.

That came from some first movers, some lucky ones.

The Asgardians seal off the island, but also need food and supplies.

In the past period of time, they have had cautious and simple contacts with Earth officials. Ships from several countries have docked on the island of Asgard to bring them supplies.

During this brief contact, many photos or information were leaked.

The most famous photo on the Internet is a photo of a soldier and an Asgardian female general. It is said that the unsmiling female general with outstanding temperament is the legendary goddess Sif.

Well, there are other photos that bring half-truths as well.

For example, Loki, the god of pranks who has always appeared as a man in mythology, is actually a beautiful and sexy goddess. Any man who is lucky enough to meet her will be overwhelmed by Ms. Loki's charm and so on.

In short, curiosity about the Asgardians is widespread in the hearts of the general public, and most people in the world are looking forward to the moment when the Asgardians will open the blockade.

For those who are legends.

For that legendary world.

Everyone is curious.

The official contact has already started, but the official will definitely not tell the people all the information, so the people who eat melons are waiting for the interviews from the people. This is the hottest news hotspot in the past month.

Journalists from all over the world will definitely not miss this hot spot.

———————————————

Clark? Clark!

In the offices of the Daily Planet, wearing a leather jacket, Eddie Brock, an investigative reporter who had just completed a hot spot interview, called out the names of his colleagues.

But Clark, who has always been sharp, was a little lost.

Eddie yelled several times before Clark woke up.

The latter raised his head blankly, looked at Eddie, and said:

Is there a problem?

Big event! Big news!

Eddie took his own tablet and put it in Clark's hand. He pointed to the screen and said:

The official has reached an agreement with the Asgardians. The blockade of those islands will be lifted in a few days. An interview team will go there.

The editor-in-chief intends to make a topic on Asgard's customs and cultural landscape. He intends to make a big news. It is said that there will be at least ten episodes of the program!

Eddie rubbed his chin, sat at Clark's table, and said to Clark:

This mission is ours! I just saw that Roseanne is already packing, we may be on that island for several months, but... I don't know if Louise can go with us ?”

Eddie looked at Clark and said:

After all, she's been pregnant for a while, so it's probably inconvenient to move?

Well.

Clark looked at the information on the screen, he said:

I've asked Louise for a long vacation. Even if she goes, I won't agree to it.

Can you convince her?

Eddie said with some worry:

The news this time is too big, and the whole world is on the move. Whoever gets the best interview result is very likely to win the Pulitzer Prize. With Louise's character, I don't think she will let it go.

I'll have a good talk with her.

Clark sighed, and said:

I've been a little restless lately...

you?

Eddie's eyes widened, and he said with a little exaggeration:

You can be regarded as the most powerful man in the world, why are you restless? Do you have any perception?

I don't know, it's hard to describe this feeling.

Clark touched his chest, he raised his head, looked at Eddie, and asked:

Didn't the venom give you any warning recently? It should also have a keen sense of danger.

No, everything is business as usual.

Eddie curled his lips and said to Clark:

The recent change of that guy is that his mouth is getting more and more tricky. He used to eat chicken chops, but now he needs me to prepare the best tender lamb chops for him every day. Hell, he likes to eat raw...

Eddie made a vomiting motion and complained to his companion:

You also know that when it eats, I also feel that kind of chewing raw meat with bloodshot taste, vomit...I probably won't be able to accept it for the rest of my life.

Shut up!

A muddy voice came from Eddie's body, and Venom was obviously dissatisfied with his host making up his own gossip.

It said viciously:

Shall I chew off your liver to teach you a lesson?

up to you!

Eddie waved goodbye to Clark and screamed not to be outdone as he walked out:

Eat, it's best to eat empty, I can just go to change the omnic prosthesis, you idiot!

Well, watching Eddie and Venom arguing is one of Clark's few pleasures.

Speaking of which, Louise Lane's news team is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Her assistant and husband Clark Kent is Kryptonian Superman, almost the strongest man in the world.

Her investigative reporter, Eddie Brock, is the host of the symbiote's venom and can bring down entire armed forces with his bare hands if necessary.

Miss Roseanne Simpson, her manuscript and news comber, was an ordinary person.

But Roseanne's husband is Johnny Blaze, a ghost knight who is super lethal to all evil people and evil things.

As long as Luoshan calls, a burning skeleton knight will drive the locomotive, rush out from hell, and overthrow anyone who dares to provoke Luoshan.

In this newsgroup of four, probably only Louise herself is an ordinary person.

But she is pregnant now, and she is pregnant with a baby of Kryptonian and Earth hybrid... This kind of super blood fusion power, in a sense, is not an ordinary person no matter how you look at it.

A few hours later, it took Clark, who was off work, a dozen seconds to fly back to his hometown in Kansas from New York.

Louise took a long vacation and recuperated in her hometown farm. Clark's mother and father treated their daughter-in-law as a treasure. This is the next generation of the Kent family, and there is no room for sloppiness.

As for Louise, she was originally a bit stubborn, but after having a child, she also became gentle.

But today, the moment Clark opened the door, he saw Louise sitting on a chair with her belly puffed out, staring at him with indifference mixed with anger.

What's wrong?

With a smile, Clark took off his coat and stepped forward, intending to touch his wife's stomach.

But his hand was opened by Louise, and the mother-to-be with a messy hairstyle raised her head and glared at her husband. She said:

Why did you mention that I rejected the editor-in-chief? Interviews about Asgardians and God's Domain! I can go! I haven't reached the point where I can't move yet!

Ah, this one.

Clark was also a little helpless.

He pulled out the chair, sat next to Louise, and comforted his wife like a cranky kitten.

He said softly:

It's not just because I'm worried about your body, Louise, this matter... how should I put it, I feel that it's not as simple as you imagined.

Clark hesitated for a moment. He reached out and grabbed his wife's hand. He said:

I've been restless lately, and you know, maybe... maybe this interview won't go so well, I mean, maybe this time, I might have some trouble.

You have to know, Louise, even when I faced Merlin back then, my heart was never in such a mess. It seemed... It seemed that something was about to happen, can you understand?

Something very dangerous about me is going to happen.

Clark's tone was a lot more dignified, and this kind of calm description also made Louise quickly regain her senses.

She looked at her husband, looked at Clark's worried eyes, she squeezed Clark's hand tightly, and she said:

Is it really that serious?

Either, or you don't go either, let Eddie and Roseanne go, they're both experienced journalists, they can handle it, you stay here with me, or...or we go somewhere else.

Louise was concerned, she stood up and rummaged around, she said:

Let's go to the mysterious room. Didn't Merlin say it last time? We can take refuge there if we encounter any trouble. We...

No, no! Louise, listen to me.

Clark looked at his worried wife, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he held Louise in his arms, stroked his wife's long hair, and said:

Listen to me, if this matter is really related to me, then I have to face it.

If I don't go, it's likely to spread to people I care about, to you, to mom and dad, and that's something I don't want to see.

Superman took a deep breath, and he said firmly:

I'll go and I'll come back, just like always, Louise.

Give your husband a little confidence. I am the most powerful man in the world anyway. I will protect you! I will be with you and watch the baby be born...

A man with a family is the strongest, no one can stop me from coming back! No one can mess up my life!

No one can!
