[Comprehensive British and American] Super British can't save the world

After several hours, they came to the feet of Chronos' idol.

"Take a break." Alicia helped Tony sit down.

There are no steps at the foot of the statue, but a white marble base about 10 meters high with reliefs on it.

"I think we cooperated pretty well." Tony's face paled.

"It's not bad." Tony pointed the direction, and Alicia almost carried him all the way. It was no problem for her to carry the weight for a few hours, it was very easy.

Well, it's Wonder Woman.

Most of the superpowers are superior to ordinary people in physical fitness, fast metabolism, strong healing ability, and long life span. This is evolution and the future of mankind.

Will be a little jealous?It should be a little jealous, gene mutation does not depend on whether you have money, it is probably the fairest thing on this earth.

Alicia walked around the base and finished watching the relief.

"The bas-relief tells how people worshiped Chronos after the Great War, built a temple for him, offered sacrifices, and there was a sacrificial hall in front of the temple, which was full of young priestesses worshiped by believers. Uh... still There are images of priestesses mating with Chronos."

"You know how myths and legends come from, most of them are a little bit of history, and after artistic processing, Chronos may be the leader of a certain clan and tribe, and we don't even know if this temple is from ancient Greece Buildings. It’s too big, it’s too new, and it appears in a strange place.” In order to show respect, human beings will build buildings that are much larger than their body, such as the ancient Egyptian pyramids, such as the Aztec Feather Tower, For example, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in China is also a kind of showing off, an extremely exaggerated attitude.

"You're right. I think this group of reliefs is telling us that Chronos left a lot of descendants."

"There are indeed many descendants of him in the mythology. This is probably the case for the creator gods in every mythological lineage, which also reflects the reality. Those in power always try to leave as many genes as possible."

"But then what?"

"What 'then'?"

"The evil villain should show up."

The appearance of the evil villain is quiet and unpretentious, but it is also extraordinary.

First, there was a wave of tangible air fluctuations in the air, and a mirror with a complicated and gorgeous carved frame gradually appeared: "Hello, Alicia."

Tony's five senses hadn't improved so fast that he could feel the air fluctuations. He was startled when he heard the voice, and stood up abruptly.

Alicia touched the back of his hand.

"who are you?"

"Please allow me to introduce myself: Baron Wolfgang von Strack," the handsome middle-aged man smiled gently, "We met once in Berlin. I don't know if you remember it."

"Then you should have died long ago."

"I'm dead, but just like the carpenter in Bethlehem, I'm resurrected." Baron Sterak smiled strangely.

Alicia snorted, noncommittal.

Tony felt that this guy was so arrogant that he compared himself to Jesus.

"Alicia, I didn't get you many years ago, now, I want you to bring me the statue of Kronos for me, is that okay?"

"He's too big."

"Oh! I thought you should know that some things are not as they seem."

"What is this place?"

"The Temple of Chronos."

"On Earth?"

"of course."

"What is this mirror?"

"It's the magic mirror, the magic mirror of Snow White's stepmother, a cross-space multi-dimensional communication device."

Alicia nodded.

Tony asked, "What did you use to get us here?"

"You won't understand if you tell me." Baron Sterak said slightly contemptuously.

"Try it." Tony was slightly aggrieved.

Alicia also said, "Tell us."

"It's an ancient object. I sent someone to install a part of this ancient object on the ceiling of your ward downstairs. You must 'pass' to enter the energy range of the ancient object. You can regard this process as 'teleportation'. "

"Is it molecular disassembly-reassembly?" Tony asked.

"Maybe." Baron Strucker replied vaguely.

"I'll help you take the idol away, but you have to send Tony back to the hospital, he can't support himself physically."

"Okay. I'll be back in an hour." The mirror disappeared.

The atmosphere of the talks was quite peaceful and friendly, not at all like the exchange between the kidnappers and the hostages.

"Now, let's figure out what's going on with this idol." Tony didn't get too entangled, the other party obviously didn't want to kill the two of them—since Alicia wouldn't die, that is, he didn't want to kill him— So it took a lot of trouble to get them, which shows that Baron Sterak should be determined to get this statue, and he couldn't get it himself.

But is it that simple?

Because Alicia can't die and has super powers, she doesn't care much about anything, and she doesn't care much about being used. Tony Stark is not a person who can be used and endure silently.Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, the name seems to have been seen somewhere, he remembered that it was Steve Rogers' action report during World War II, and Strucker was a Nazi scientist who led the Nazi Hydra at that time , is a subordinate relationship with Red Skull John Schmidt.

After the war, the Russians, British, and Americans rushed to enter Berlin. The Russians took a step faster and took away a large number of Nazi materials. The American army only got a few materials. The information on Strack is negligible.

After Alicia appeared, Tony got the US military's records about Hydra through S.H.I.E.L.D. exist.But now it seems that it’s not the same thing at all—the death and resurrection, just listen to it as a myth. Although there is a living specimen of Alicia, she is "not dead", not resurrected. The concept is different, and there is no evidence that Strucker is an Omega-level mutant like Jean Gray.

Things that cannot be explained by science are connected one after another. Is this still a high-tech society in the 21st century?

"Have you ever heard of Hydra?" Alicia asked.

"heard about it."

"Nazi Hydra is just a branch of it, did you know that?"

"—I really don't know that!" Tony was surprised.

"Legend, it was originally because of a powerful mutant who was thrown into a different dimension by his enemies - I assume that this 'different dimension' may be a higher dimension, or an alien - this exiled Mutants have many subordinates, of course they can also be called "believers". They wholeheartedly want to open the alien space and save their masters, so they formed this mysterious organization. I think it was probably a religious organization at the earliest, just Like the carpenter in Bethlehem, the leader was killed."

That's the most logical explanation, and Tony nods in agreement.

Secret societies have always been popular, whether it is because of religion or not, all kinds of secret societies or open societies have always been popular in all walks of life, from small fraternities in schools to large Catholic denominations recognized by the Holy See.

"Mutants will not appear until the 20th century. They should have existed very early, like some chosen ones who claim to be able to cure cancer with bare hands. Most of them are liars, but there may be mutants among them. So, there was a thousand years ago It is not surprising that there is a big battle between mutants, and the loser will of course either die or go into exile."

The origin of mutants, Tony has also discussed with Charles Xavier and Eric Lanshere, they also believe that mutants have existed since ancient times, and mutants can be seen in many folklore and myths At that time, the people's knowledge level was not high, and there was no research on genes. Of course, they didn't know what mutant genes were, so they took things they couldn't understand as "miracles" to spread and spread.

Eric is the hawk among the mutants, and his style has always been tough. He and Charles are friends and foes, sometimes confronting each other, and sometimes they have to cooperate; He independently supported all the expenses of the gifted youth school, and donated his own castle as a school building.Stark Industries donates some technological equipment to students every year, such as tablet computers used in class, and now they are all replaced by Stark Industries products.

Regarding the question of whether Alicia is a mutant, since Professor Xavier has not been contacted so far, his opinion is not yet known.Eric has returned to New York from Europe and called Tony to ask him to send Alicia back to New York. It was initially agreed that Happy or Steve Rogers would send her back to New York after his surgery.

"So his purpose should also be to retrieve that powerful mutant?" Tony guessed.

Alicia smiled, "It's hard to say. Mutants can live longer than modern Homo sapiens, but who knows if that person is still alive? First of all, you have to make sure that the target is still alive. Besides, many years have passed, It has been thousands of years, and the successors have probably given up their original goal long ago. Now, maybe the villains will want to rule the earth?"

Tony wanted to laugh out loud, "That's probably what villains are all about."

"What's the point of ruling the earth?" Alicia didn't understand. "Look, I won't die, and I won't grow old. With such a strong innate advantage, I am qualified to rule the earth. Humans who can only live for 100 years It will take decades to achieve the goal, and then? Death is not far away. Is it to get more treasures, or to eat more delicacies, or to mate as much as possible and leave offspring? But these can be done as long as you have money, such as you, you can do almost anything you want now, is it necessary to rule the earth?"

The author has something to say: *The movie version of Baron Sterak died after two hits in Captain America 2 and Avengers 2. As a villain, he died too aggrieved.
