Chapter 34 - The Overture to Madness

"He's moved out. This time, there are about forty of them, including Abomination Xenomorphs. Some Vampires are going to be unlucky again!"

"Duval has grown to what he is today entirely thanks to Vampires! When will these Vampires finally be extinct!"

"Soon, soon. The Vampires in New York will be wiped out by him sooner or later."

As everyone knows, Duval has a special fondness for Vampires, finding them numerous and relatively easy to deal with.

Even if the Vampires in various strongholds resist desperately, they can only kill a batch of Xenomorphs at most. Duval can completely capture them to obtain more Xenomorphs, not caring about such casualties at all.

Naturally, everyone still believes that Duval's actions are aimed at the Vampires and will continue to expand the scale of the Xenomorphs, which is even more worrying.

"This can't go on. We can't see the upper limit of the Xenomorphs' numbers at all! Letting him increase the number of Xenomorphs like this, once it gets out of control, it's simply a disaster. We must stop him immediately, even with force!"

Fury, unable to bear it any longer, ordered Coulson to find Duval for negotiations, while preparing to mobilize troops. As long as Duval refused to obey orders, they would use force to deter him.

But soon, he received news that Duval did not continue to look for Vampires, but took his Xenomorphs onto a helicopter and flew to New Mexico.

...

"I must be crazy to even prepare transportation for you."

Tony Stark looked at the large number of Xenomorphs and regretted agreeing to Duval. "Jarvis, check my brain. Has he performed mental manipulation on me?"

"No, sir, everything is normal."

"Is that so? Maybe it's mental suggestion? A more subtle method than mental control. He can control dozens of Xenomorphs at once, maybe he does it through mental suggestion." Tony felt very insecure.

"You better not think about these things. Have you settled Ross's trouble? I don't want to visit you in prison." Duval said into the headset, certain that Tony could hear him.

"One hundred million dollars, they think I have a problem. One billion dollars, they think I'm not at fault. Ten billion dollars, they determine that I'm eliminating harm for the people. But how could I spend ten billion dollars? Those guys don't care about Ross's life, they care more about whether the project Ross is in charge of can continue to advance."

"Let me guess, the Super Soldier Program? Otherwise, there's no way to explain his persistent pursuit of the Hulk," Duval said.

"Sometimes, I even suspect you've seen the story script in advance. But now more people want to contact you and incorporate your Xenomorphs into the Super Soldier Program. You must have guessed that they commissioned me to contact you." Tony frowned, feeling a little irritable.

Those guys don't believe there's friendship between Tony and Duval, but they believe there's a financial relationship between the two, because they found that Tony had transferred money to Duval, and this kind of relationship is more reliable than friendship in many cases.

"There are many people contacting me, there always have been, they are waiting for an opportunity."

"Like this time? You're gone, and a vacuum period appears. Your lair will welcome many ill-intentioned guys." Tony Stark directly reminded him.

Duval may not be a superhero, but at least, Tony feels that dealing with someone as capable and potential as Duval is much better than dealing with people from S.H.I.E.L.D..

Duval didn't respond, just chuckled softly. The defensive force he left behind is very strong, enough to solve most troubles. Even if there are really powerful guys breaking in, it doesn't matter.

Because the Queen has already mixed into the forty-odd Xenomorphs following him.

...

Asgard, a heaven-round-earth-square continent, quietly lies in the starry sky of the universe.

"Because of your recklessness, you almost caused another World Tree war to break out!" Odin's old face was full of anger and disappointment as he gazed at his hopeful offspring.

"What I want is war!"

Thor and Odin had a fierce argument. He shouted loudly in the temple, "Why should we be timid? I am fully capable of killing all those Frost Giants. Asgard is absolutely capable of occupying Jotunheim and completely ending all wars within the World Tree! Your most outstanding son has enough power to kill Laufey! I can't understand, you have time to stare at Midgard, searching for information about the Eternals, but you are unwilling to support your excellent son more?"

Extreme worship is prone to triggering extreme hatred.

Thor doesn't hate Odin, but a son who extremely worships his father, of course, wants to use his best way to win his father's favor and attention, but his adventurous actions only invite scolding.

The father-son relationship deteriorated, and Thor also felt wronged, and an inexplicable sensitive emotion grew.

Odin glared fiercely at Loki next to him, and Loki also lowered his head in a timely manner, looking innocent.

"Are you monitoring your father?" Odin's tone turned cold.

"I am paying attention to my father! The Eternals are nothing great. That Midgardian can beat him to escape, and so can I!" Thor shouted loudly.

"Did Heimdall tell you? That's right, I didn't remind him to keep such small secrets, just as I didn't expect my son to use small tricks to deal with me!"

Loki's head was buried even lower.

Odin's face became very ugly. Even if he is about to die, he is still the God-King. Even his own son cannot talk to him in this attitude, let alone peep into his actions, and even say it publicly! ! The reason why he is closely watching the movements of the Eternals is not for the Eternals themselves, but for... the Celestials! ! You know, more than a thousand years ago, he united all the divine systems of the World Tree and fought a battle with the Celestials who came from afar, and was defeated miserably! ! And these Eternals on Earth were created by a supremely powerful Celestial as spokespersons. How could Odin not pay attention? He is too old, and even feels pain and difficulty in bearing his vast divine power. If the Celestials come again, he will not have the energy to fight as he did more than a thousand years ago.

"Shut up, you brute, you don't know anything at all!" Odin was extremely disappointed. The reckless Thor completely doesn't understand his painstaking efforts.

"You cowardly old fool!"

Thor froze the moment he shouted those words.

The entire hall fell silent, everyone staring at Thor in astonishment. Even Loki, who had been desperately stoking the flames, widened his eyes, looking at his brother in disbelief.

What a joke, Thor was cursing the most honorable, most powerful, and most domineering God-King of the World Tree! "I understand, you're jealous? Jealous that the Midgardians can do things you don't have the chance to do, yet you think of using violence to solve everything. It seems that the thousand years of education and training I gave you has ultimately turned you into a fool who only knows how to solve problems with brute force."

Odin seemed to have aged many years. Originally, he was only hesitant, and contacting the Ancient One in advance was just a precaution, but now he had made up his mind.
