Adult American comics: opening social security black silk Wanda
Chapter 90 Hode: The Eternal Spear is nothing special! The shock and despair of Asgard! Odin is routed!
"It's him again!"
Although the distance was still great, through the feedback from the camera lens, Tony recognized that familiar back at a glance.
He hadn't expected it to be this mysterious guy causing trouble again, which gave him a headache for a moment.
It could be said that all recent events basically had the shadow of this You-Know-Who.
"Can't things just be peaceful for a moment?"
Tony's expression had become extremely helpless.
After all, this was simply not a battle they could intervene in.
But he couldn't just ignore it, which gave him a big headache!
"Who is his opponent?"
Wanda leaned over, squinting her eyes to try and see the other person on the screen clearly.
Hode's strength was so great; how could someone be evenly matched with him?
Moreover, the commotion caused just now made her feel a faint sense of worry.
"I don't recognize him, but he looks a bit familiar!"
Steve frowned and looked at the screen, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
He kept feeling like he had seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't recall it for the moment.
The only thing he could be sure of was that this person's strength was extremely formidable.
"Friday, scan the target's identity!"
Tony didn't say another word and immediately had Fridaystart detecting the person's identity.
Able to fight against You-Know-Who, it was certain that this person's strength must also be extremely powerful.
Regardless of any potential factors, he had to figure out the person's identity.
"Boss, the scan of the target is complete. Based on records and data, the opponent of You-Know-Who is very likely the King of Asgard, Odin!"
Friday quickly gave the answer.
But the moment Friday said this, everyone present was shocked.
No one had expected that You-Know-Who's opponent would actually be the God King.
Everyone present was very familiar with Norse mythology, and the more they knew, the more clearly they understood the might of the God King Odin.
Odin was the most powerful existence among all gods.
Even Thor had told them more than once that Odin was his father.
Thor even admitted that it was impossible for him to defeat his father.
From this, one could see how powerful he was.
Yet now, Odin had actually become an enemy of You-Know-Who.
"By the way, why did they come into conflict?" Steve raised the most important question.
After all, although You-Know-Who was powerful, he had never taken the initiative to harm humans, nor did he seek to use his power against others. Every time he appeared, there was basically a reason for it. Judging from his every move, this was someone who should be on humanity's side.
But now, this You-Know-Who had actually clashed with Odin. No matter how one looked at it, something wasn't right!
And even if they wanted to intervene, they didn't even know whose side they should stand on.
"I suspect this is very likely related to Hela!" Tony noticed a figure on the screen, pointed at it, and stated his analysis: "It's highly likely that Thor brought Odin here specifically to deal with Hela!"
Once these words were spoken, everyone present was suddenly enlightened.
They also knew that Hela was a subordinate of You-Know-Who, and taking her away would require his consent. However, You-Know-Who's personality was undoubtedly arrogant; in other words, the two sides likely fought because of this.
"This You-Know-Who is too terrifying; he actually started fighting Odin without a second word!" Rhodes sighed, his voice full of mixed emotions.
In truth, logically speaking, they should be on You-Know-Who's side. After all, if it weren't for You-Know-Who, they would have certainly fallen apart back then. But Thor was their comrade, and furthermore, they didn't know how to intervene in such a battle. One could even say that just getting close was a problem!
"Hode, he shouldn't be in any trouble, right?" Wandalooked at the fierce battle in the distance with a worried expression, praying silently in her heart.
Although she knew Hode's strength was great, Odin was, after all, the All-Father. His power was bound to be immensely strong, and he was even battle-hardened!
Regardless, he was a god; even without getting close, Wanda could clearly feel the terrifying energy radiating from him.
"What do you think about the battle between You-Know-Who and the God King Odin?" Natasha noticed the worried look on Wanda's face and took the initiative to ask. They all wanted to know the current situation.
"Although You-Know-Who is strong, he chose the wrong opponent; Odin is, after all, the God King!" Steve was not optimistic about You-Know-Who, even though his strength was far greater than theirs. Thor had, after all, brought the most powerful person from their realm. It was simply impossible to deal with the God King Odin, an existence capable of unifying the Nine Realms.
"I think so too; after all, how could we humans compare to gods!" Rhodes nodded thoughtfully, acknowledging that although You-Know-Who's power was already very strong, it still fell within the scope of humanity.
Upon hearing her teammates' conversation, Wanda clearly became even more worried! Even so, she could only worry in vain because, although she possessed Chaos Magic, it was very difficult for her to intervene in a battle of this level! It could even be said that just resisting the aftershocks of the battle was already proving quite strenuous!
Boom!!! At this moment, golden light erupted from the dust clouds covering the deep sky, with endless radiance dispersing the dust. Endless heat waves surged, and the earth continued to tremble slightly.
"No way! Odin is actually at a disadvantage in this fight!" When Rhodes saw Odin slammed into the ground, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He looked at this scene, completely dumbfounded! Was this still a human? One had to realize that was the damn God King Odin! To actually smash the God King Odin directly into the ground had completely exceeded his expectations.
Amidst the vast dust clouds, the previously fallen God King Odin walked out with a disheveled appearance, his eyes suppressing an indescribable rage.
He had never imagined that such a Midgardian could obtain such terrifying power. His mastery of the Phoenix Force even far exceeded his imagination. Even among all those who possessed the Phoenix Force across the myriad Universes, he was basically one of the very few.
"Young man, I admit you are powerful." The God King Odin's single eye glowed with golden light, becoming increasingly dazzling. Although he had just been slammed into the dirt, there was not a trace of discouragement in his expression. While he had used his full strength just now, in reality, it was impossible for him to have no trump cards at all. It was just that he didn't want to use that method, as it would inevitably bring some side effects to his body. But if it was to deal with this young man, then no matter how reluctant he was, he had to act!
"Old man, you're not bad." Hode's mouth curled up as he slowly descended to the ground. He put his hands back into his pockets, his gaze fixed directly on Odin. Yet, his tone was still filled with mockery, as if he had just been casually loosening his limbs. He even couldn't help but yawn, his every action seemingly provoking Odin.
However, he had to admit that Odin was indeed much more fun to beat up! Even if he released a bit more power, he didn't have to worry about accidentally beating Odin to death. This was a rare, top-tier punching bag; one had to realize that if it had been anyone else, they would have been beaten into powder by that last hit!
"Heh, I hope you can still stand and talk to me later." Fire danced in Odin's eyes; it had to be said that every word Hode spoke had successfully irritated his nerves.
He took a deep breath, gripped the Eternal Spear tightly, his expression suddenly hardening, and muttered to the divine spear: "For the Nine Realms, for Asgard, may the gods and the ancestors grant me supreme power, allowing this old man, who stumbles in the glimmering embers, to sacrifice himself once more."
Accompanying his muttering, wisps of golden light coiled around Odin, containing endless might.
"What are you blabbering about to a spear, kid?" Hode's eyes held mockery; instead of going up to interrupt Odin's spellcasting, he watched quietly to see what kind of trick Odin would pull. He found it most amusing that one had to chatter for so long just to cast a skill. However, he didn't care; he wanted to see what would happen next. As long as it didn't disappoint him, that was enough!
Boom!!! A terrifying aura, like that of a primordial beast, suddenly erupted. It kicked up massive waves of air that raged about. Within this gale, it carried an irresistible imperial might!
It was clearly visible that Odin's body underwent some changes at this moment. His previously shorter frame grew slightly taller, and his white hair seemed to undergo a rejuvenation, gradually turning golden, while even his gaze became piercingly sharp. If the Odin from before still carried a hint of twilight, the Odin at this moment was like a freshly forged sword. That sharp aura struck out in all directions like a blade!
"This aura..." In the distance, Hela's face turned pale as she felt this terrifying aura. Even her legs were trembling uncontrollably.
"Father's divine might!" She could clearly feel just how terrifying and powerful this force was. It could even be said that she had never felt this force before. If one had to say, it was many years ago, when Odin unleashed such might while battling the Celestials.
Thor's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his right hand, roaring: "Long live Asgard! Asgard will triumph!" He had originally thought his father was no match for Hode, but he hadn't expected his father to only get serious at this moment. That terrifying might was something he had never seen before; looking from afar, Odin now seemed like a bottomless abyss. One couldn't even feel how powerful this force was; it was like a boundless ocean. That terrifying force was constantly spreading outwards, so one could see that they were sure to win this time! After all, this was his father getting serious; even the Celestials were no match for his father, let alone a Midgardian!
"Long live Asgard! Asgard will triumph!" The group of Asgardian Guards behind also raised their weapons, shouting along with Thor.
"Is this the God King..." Inside the quinjet, Tony felt suffocated just by breathing. This was an extremely terrifying power, a power that left him unable to even muster a shred of resistance. The God King Odin now looked like a god standing between heaven and earth.
"I didn't expect this to be Odin's true strength." Stevelooked at this almost invincible existence, and in his heart, he even felt like an ant. He had never felt weaker than others, but at this moment, this feeling surged clearly into his mind. This was a power that humans could no longer resist.
"Hode, he... he shouldn't be in any trouble, right!" The crimson light on Wanda's body radiated involuntarily; she wanted to help Hode.
However, she knew very well that if she got involved, it wouldn't just fail to help Hode; it would even drag him down!
"Not bad, it finally looks like something!"
A hint of fighting spirit appeared in Hode's previously lazy gaze.
He had intended to use his full strength anyway.
Although he had encountered Dormammu before, dealing with that thing that could resurrect infinitely was really no fun.
But this Odin looked significantly more fun, and he also wanted to properly experience Odin's true strength!
After all, Odin was clearly going all out, so he couldn't just keep acting so cavalierly.
The next second, dark red light swirled around his body.
And beneath the clothes covering his body, the Zodiac Talismans flashed with light.
If he weren't afraid of appearing too shocking to the World, he would have even wanted to test out that ancient Doomsday.
...And another thing, there was no need to go out of his way to get himself killed while dealing with Odin.
He wasn't bored out of his mind; why would he let others kill him for no reason?
Boom!!!
"For the glory of Asgard!" Odin's roar echoed through the sky.
He charged straight at Hode, brandishing the divine spear in his hand.
The moment he swung it, a powerful force drove the energy, and countless golden rays surged toward Hode, covering the sky and Earth.
Releasing terrifying fluctuations, it instantly destroyed everything in the vicinity.
Countless rocks shattered.
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated and fell as rain.
Under the dark red light, it was as if a rain of blood had begun to fall.
Boom!!!
Hode, wrapped in dark red Phoenix Force, moved suddenly.
An explosion burst forth from where he stood, and the speed of Hode's movement even created a hollow, rainless area within the downpour.
The next second, with a thunderous sound, Hode and Odincollided.
Two streaks, one dark red and one golden, shot into the sky.
Each occupied half of the sky.
"It's over, that guy Odin is sure to win!"
Hela gritted her teeth; she had actually known about this ability of Odin's before.
That was to restore himself to his peak state for a period of time.
However, this required a period of time to cast the Sorcery.
But Hode had absolutely no intention of interrupting Odin.
Odin, having released this skill, would become incomparably terrifying, no longer appearing as a man in his twilight years.
"Father will definitely be able to slay that Hode!"
Thor clenched his fists excitedly, flashes of golden and dark red light intersecting in the sky.
It was as if countless beams of light were constantly colliding and then separating.
Inside the quinjet.
The members of the Avengers had complex expressions.
Because they didn't want the two sides to fight at all; no matter who won, it wouldn't be a good thing.
The next second, both figures vanished almost simultaneously.
The speed of the light collisions grew faster and faster, with dark red energy and golden energy constantly clashing!
The air shook continuously, and one could even see the ripples produced by the high heat during the collisions.
Odin continuously poured Odin Force into the Eternal Spear, and with a twist of his hands, the long spear instantly erupted with endless power, whipping up violent gales in the air and sending visible shockwaves into the sky.
The divine spear thrust fiercely toward Hode in the blink of an eye.
Facing this heavy and powerful blow, Hode simply blocked it with a punch, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
Bang!
The moment his physical body blocked it, a humming sound rang out.
It actually left Odin's arms numb!
"How is this possible? This is a divine artifact!"
Odin's expression changed drastically, but he immediately became incomparably furious and began thrusting the spear continuously.
One blow! Two blows! Three blows!
Each strike compounded the power, unleashing increasingly violent force.
But Hode withstood it all with his physical body!
"The gods don't seem to be able to help you."
Hode's lips curled up, and he looked at the Eternal Spear in Odin's hand with a mocking expression: "The Eternal Spear? It's nothing more than this!"
Watching Hode's indifferent demeanor, Odin's body trembled with rage, and he poured all his power into the Eternal Spear.
An endless aura of destruction radiated out.
The terrifying aura alone caused the black clouds covering the sky to completely dissipate.
Odin poured his strength into the Eternal Spear and swung it down fiercely.
Looking out, a golden torrent was released from the divine spear, shrouding everything in vast golden light!
Chapter 91: Odin kneels and compromises, a new god ascends the throne, Hode's identity is about to be exposed!
The vast golden light shone upon the Earth, and it even permeated with an extremely terrifying power.
At this moment, half the sky had already been shrouded in golden light.
Looking from afar, it was as if cumulonimbus clouds and golden clouds were vying for dominance.
Like a cascading waterfall of gold, it rushed toward Hodewith extremely terrifying momentum.
It contained an aura of destruction.
This spear strike came down.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Because with just a single strike, the entire Earth was shaking continuously.
"Boss, the intensity of this attack is detected to be equivalent to a magnitude 10 earthquake!"
Friday reported the current situation rapidly.
With such momentum, they couldn't possibly let the quinjet get close.
Let alone getting close, even staying at this position carried the risk of being caught in the aftermath.
"This spear strike... isn't this the Spear of Meteor?!"
Thor was even more shocked; Father was playing for real!
How many people in the World had truly seen the "Spear of Meteor," the "Lost Divine Spear of the Heavens"!
He hadn't expected that at this moment, his father would actually use such a powerful move.
He had only heard his mother mention before that Odin's strongest attack was the Spear of Meteor.
But he had basically never used it, because this move was equivalent to a final strike.
Because to use this move, one needed to gather at least the vast majority of the energy within one's body.
And it was said that Odin would only use this incomparably terrifying move when he could not win.
It could even be said that this move would have no trouble piercing through Earth!
"Hode!"
Goddess of Death Hela's expression changed drastically when she saw this scene.
She leaped up suddenly, green light gathering continuously in her hands.
Because this move was just too powerful; she had to go forward to help Hode.
But just as she flew into mid-air, the powerful aftermath of the energy had already arrived.
The energy she had gathered couldn't even block the "705u.com-53 Reading Club" offensive of this aftermath.
After all, this was Odin's all-out strike; it was simply not something she could block!
Furthermore, she was already heavily injured; just being able to move with difficulty was already hard enough.
Therefore, wanting to resist the Spear of Meteor released by Odin's full-strength strike was simply a pipe dream.
One could even say that even in her prime, she would only be able to barely withstand the aftermath.
On the quinjet.
"What should we do now?"
Steve asked in a grave tone.
Because in a strict sense, they should be standing on the side of the You-Know-Who.
After all, the You-Know-Who would at least help them protect Earth, but this Odin wouldn't care about the life or death of Earth.
Furthermore, the You-Know-Who was Wanda's boyfriend; if it hadn't been for the last time the You-Know-Whoappeared, they would have already fallen apart from within.
It was also for this reason that Steve had decided to stand on the side of the You-Know-Who.
"What can we do? Do you really think we can interfere in a battle like this?!"
Tony's expression was complex, and he shook his head helplessly, gritting his teeth.
Even if all his armors were deployed together, it would be impossible to intervene in this kind of battle.
It could be said that this kind of battle was simply not something the Avengers could handle.
Furthermore, he also saw very clearly that all they could do now was wait.
Although he also felt a sense of powerlessness, he had absolutely no way to do anything.
After all, this was reality; without sufficient strength, they were no different from ants.
"Let me down!"
Wanda gritted her teeth and walked quickly to the front of the quinjet, preparing to open the rear exit to leave.
She felt that incomparably terrifying momentum, and she was very worried, worried about whether Hode would be...
Although Hode had always given her the impression of being omnipotent, this time was completely different.
This was Odin; this was the King of Gods. In this situation, she absolutely could not sit idly by.
"Wanda! Calm down!"
Tony stood up directly to block Wanda, who was preparing to open the door.
"Get out of my way, I'm going to help my boyfriend!"
Although she didn't know what would happen after she went down, she was absolutely unwilling to watch Hodeface danger, even if it meant dying together.
And she had Chaos Magic; even if she could only contribute a tiny bit of power, it might perhaps be able to help Hode reduce the pressure.
If you really want to help him, then don't go over and interfere!"
Tony gritted his teeth, his voice solemn: "He has no way to distract himself right now. If you show up, you will inevitably distract him!"
It had to be said that Tony saw through the current situation at a glance, although he didn't know if You-Know-Who could win.
But all they could do was watch helplessly; it wasn't that they didn't want to help.
Rather, if they rashly intervened now, it would likely make things even more complicated.
Furthermore, the combined strength of all of them wasn't even enough to withstand a single blow from Odin.
Under these circumstances, even if Wanda went out, it wouldn't be of much use.
"But!"
Wanda gritted her teeth, her eyes turning slightly red.
"Wanda, I know you're worried, but you ultimately have to consider the current situation!"
Rhodes also spoke up at this time to persuade her.
Boom!
At the same time, Odin's strike, which contained all his power, slammed violently toward Hode.
When he threw this spear, it seemed as if only this glint of golden light could be seen between heaven and Earth.
The golden light was like a beam, instantly blasting toward Hode's direction.
Under the pressure of the golden light, everything in the surroundings changed at this moment.
The black particles, which originally looked like thin black lines, were blown away by this terrifying strike.
From a distance, it looked as if a large cloud of black mist was flying outward under the sweep of the golden light.
This strike was enough to destroy heaven and Earth!
The entire ground collapsed, and the terrifying energy impact caused all the surrounding vegetation to wither and annihilate.
Even the entire Northern Hemisphere trembled because of it.
The ocean began to surge violently, and the terrifying fluctuations even caused tsunamis dozens of meters high to sweep across the sea.
Fish in the sea began to swim toward the bottom constantly, but even though they had tried their best,
they were still swept into the waves by this terrifying power.
A tsunami was triggered in the waters of the East Coast.
At this moment, everyone in the Northern Hemisphere felt this intense vibration.
Although the vibration was only for a moment, everyone on the streets couldn't keep their footing.
The sudden vibration even caused vehicles on the streets to lose control one after another.
This resulted in a continuous series of rear-end collisions.
But they didn't have time to pay attention to anything else.
Instead, they subconsciously looked toward the sky, only to see at the distant horizon,
a golden light was flashing, a light that seemed capable of piercing through heaven and Earth.
They could see it with absolute clarity, which caused immense panic in their hearts.
Because it felt as if the end of the World had arrived.
"What on Earth is going on!"
"This couldn't be the end of the World, could it!"
"What exactly is that golden light?!"
"..."
The people in New York could see it even more clearly.
This pillar of light seemed to pierce through heaven and Earth; they couldn't even see the end of it.
The only thing they could see was that this golden light had already pierced through the entire sky.
And around the golden light, the clouds were spinning rapidly like a vortex.
When the golden light dissipated.
On the barren surface of the ground, the divine spear had torn open a grand canyon that led straight to the end of the World!
A towering heatwave permeated the air. Although it was just the aftershock of the battle, melting rocks and scorched Earth could be seen within this giant deep pit.
It was as if it had been bombarded by countless explosives!
The canyon was so long that its end couldn't be seen at a glance.
However, above the canyon, amidst the rolling heatwaves, a figure stood tall on the spot.
Moreover, there was a hint of an indescribable smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that this move of yours would be somewhat interesting; it actually almost managed to injure me!"
Hode walked out slowly with a faint smile, gently patting the dust off his body: "Unfortunately, it's still not strong enough!"
To be honest, he could have completely dodged that strike just now, but after thinking about it, he couldn't possibly let more than half of the Earth really be destroyed.
So he simply stood in front of this energy; moreover, he also wanted to test exactly how strong it was.
It had to be said that Odin's strength was decent. If he hadn't obtained an extra Phoenix Force Fragment, he might have truly been unable to block it.
But unfortunately, there aren't that many 'ifs' in this World.
!!!
"You-Know-Who actually blocked it?!"
Steve stood up abruptly, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
If he hadn't seen it wrong just now, You-Know-Who had taken this move head-on.
Not only that, he hadn't even moved a bit. Never mind being injured; even his clothes were still clean and tidy.
"I didn't expect that this You-Know-Who's power is actually even stronger than Odin's!"
Tony's voice trembled slightly; after all, this power was simply too terrifying.
It had even exceeded his expectations; this kind of power was no longer something a human could release.
Although he had thought that You-Know-Who was very powerful, he never thought that You-Know-Who could take it while remaining completely unscathed.
This meant that this You-Know-Who's strength was far, far greater than Odin's!
"He really blocked it! He actually did it!"
Wanda covered her mouth, her eyes turning slightly red.
Just now, she even thought Hode was about to fail, but she never expected that Hode would be completely unharmed!
This meant that Hode's power far exceeded her expectations.
One must know that this was Odin, the King of Gods!
He was already the most powerful existence in the World!
"How on Earth was this done? This shouldn't be possible!"
"This is the Spear of Meteor; even the Celestials couldn't possibly withstand it!"
"The Spear of Meteor can pierce through everything, but it actually had no effect on Hode?!"
Hela was completely bewildered; she had witnessed the scene of Odin fighting the Celestials.
At that time, the Spear of Meteor was used at the end, and it was used to determine the winner.
But this strike, which Odin was most proud of, actually had no effect on Hode.
She looked at Hode tremblingly, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
In other words, even like this, no one could do anything to Hode.
She hadn't expected that she had actually followed such a powerful person.
Even Odin, whom she had always hated immensely, was no match for Hode!
"Impossible! Did I see it wrong! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Father is the strongest; why was this guy able to block it?!"
"Could it be that he borrowed the power of a Demon God? But even a Demon God couldn't possibly block it so easily!"
Thor was even more incredulous; no matter what, he couldn't believe that his invincible father had actually lost!
"So strong!"
After Odin used this move, the energy in his body drained rapidly, and his originally rejuvenated face instantly aged by several years.
Exhausted, he stabbed the Eternal Spear into the ground, his legs weak, nearly falling.
Entering his twilight years, he was now unable to use divine power again.
The Odin Force within his body had been completely exhausted.
He raised his head and looked at the person in the sky; he couldn't understand why he was able to block it.
One must know that this was the attack he was most proud of in his life.
But it couldn't even deal with a single Midgardian.
In fact... he hadn't caused the slightest injury to this person.
He had faced countless enemies in his life, but never once had he felt so powerless.
Actually, from the moment they began to clash, he had already noticed.
This person hadn't taken the initiative to attack at all, as if a powerful opponent was just testing his moves.
He had basically been looking at him with a playful expression.
Even when his indestructible fists smashed into this person's body, what was fed back was an incredibly hard physique.
One must know that he could easily destroy even Vibranium, yet he had no way at all in front of this person!
However.
Hode acted as if nothing had happened.
"You lost."
Hode landed leisurely on the ground with his hands in his pockets.
As if strolling in his own backyard, he slowly came before Odin.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he were greeting him in a very gentle manner.
Thump...
"I... indeed lost."
A look of dejection appeared on Odin's face.
With a thump, his weary body knelt directly in front of Hode.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts were right in front of him.
After Odin knelt on one knee, the atmosphere at the scene became frozen.
Thor was also exhausted; even if he wasn't convinced, he had to be now.
Gritting his teeth, he finally took a step back and slowly knelt on one knee in front of Hode.
The army brought by Odin also knelt down.
"Since you have all failed, then from now on, Hela is the new Queen of Asgard!"
Hode spoke slowly in a calm tone.
The reason he announced this command wasn't to harm the people of the God Realm.
On the contrary, it was to help them survive the coming crisis.
The current Hela should become a very good ruler, and more importantly, this might avoid the arrival of Ragnarok.
He didn't want to have to run over and save these so-called gods 3.0 when the time came.
Furthermore, although Hela had always deeply hated Odin, it didn't mean she didn't know what she truly needed to do.
"Alright!"
Odin looked at Hela, who was not far behind Hode, with a complicated expression.
In his eyes, there was dejection, exhaustion, and an unspeakable emotion.
Supporting his body, he slowly stood up and handed the Eternal Spear beside him to Hela.
"I was truly wrong. Perhaps you were right."
Odin lowered his head.
Hela took the Eternal Spear from Odin's hand.
Looking at the Eternal Spear in her hand, she looked at Hode with a complicated gaze.
"Hode, I will leave first then."
After saying this, a special affection flashed through Hela's eyes: "Don't worry, once I've handled things, I'll be back!"
After seeing Hode nod slowly,
she gathered everyone and opened the Bifrost Bridge to teleport away.
Hode watched them leave.
"Hode!"
Suddenly, a familiar shout came from behind him.
Hode turned around and saw Wanda flying over, throwing herself directly onto him.
Like an octopus, she held onto him tightly.
"Wanda?"
Feeling the warm and soft beauty in his arms, Hode asked with a look of surprise, "How long have you been here?"
"Pretty much from the very beginning."
Wanda pursed her lips and said in displeasure, "With such a massive commotion, it's hard not to notice. The authorities have already begun deploying now."
"Deploying?"
Hode couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.
"Yes, Tony has already notified the authorities to bar any outsiders from entering this area."
Wanda nodded solemnly.
After all, the commotion was simply too massive!
"Wait, the others came along too?"
Hode suddenly realized.
Wanda was here.
So didn't that mean the other members of the Avengershad also come?!
Chapter 92: Wanda Wants to Reveal Their Relationship, Let's Go on Vacation Together!
"Do you want me to bring them over?"
Hearing this, Wanda's eyes widened, a look of joy flashing in them.
Actually, she had been struggling with this issue herself.
After all, Hode still had Gwen right now, so it would be somewhat awkward to bring it up when the time came.
But if Hode took the initiative to introduce his identity, it would be completely different.
That would mean Hode wanted to get to know her friends, and she would no longer have to hide things.
Who wouldn't want their boyfriend to openly acknowledge them and introduce them to others?
So after answering, Wanda stared straight at Hode in front of her.
She was somewhat worried that Hode would refuse, but she really hoped to get her friends' blessings.
Right now, no one knew Hode's identity. If Hode was willing to introduce himself on his own initiative, that would definitely be for the best.
Tony, Steve, Natasha, and the others were her closest friends.
If only she could introduce Hode to everyone!
"It's up to you."
Hode didn't think too much about it. After all, the reason he had been hiding his identity was also because of Wanda.
And there was another point: he didn't want to attract more attention because of his identity.
Otherwise, just dealing with them would be a huge hassle.
He came to this World to enjoy his life, not to put his heart and soul into every little thing.
Take Tony for example; if Tony hadn't become Iron Man, he would probably still be living a life of debauchery every day.
It was just that everyone's life was completely different, and Hode knew very well that he didn't like that kind of life.
The reason he dealt with Dormammu was also because he had promised the Ancient One that he would take good care of Stephen.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the Dark Dimensionon his own initiative at all; he had always been someone who hated trouble.
Of course, he didn't mind completing certain key events too much.
After all, this would allow him to get better rewards from the system.
"Oh..."
Wanda's excited expression instantly turned into immense disappointment. She had thought Hode was taking the initiative to bring it up.
But she didn't expect Hode to just ask casually, without even a ripple of emotion on his face.
She had always believed that if you wanted to get along well with your significant other, your social circles would naturally become more closely intertwined.
Both sides should get to know each other's friends and introduce themselves.
Yet Hode didn't have such thoughts at all, looking as if he didn't care about any of it.
"What's wrong? You seem a bit unhappy?"
Hode noticed the slight disappointment on Wanda's face and asked in a puzzled tone.
After all, the details on Wanda's face were simply too easy to notice.
"It's nothing."
Wanda shook her head and then said, "As for the others, they've gone to handle the logistics support. I'm not in charge of that sector, so I came over first."
Since Hode didn't take the initiative to bring it up, perhaps the relationship between them wasn't close enough yet.
And although she wanted Hode to blend into her circle, if Hode didn't want to, she would absolutely not bring it up on her own.
The reason the other members of the Avengers didn't come over was entirely because they were shocked by Hode's powerful strength.
They certainly wanted to know Hode's identity, but his strength was so formidable, and he had deliberately obscured his face last time.
No matter how curious they were, there was absolutely no way they would approach him on their own initiative!
After all, if You-Know-Who suddenly got angry, they would be straight-up GG.
The so-called logistics support was actually nothing more than an excuse.
After all, they didn't want to make an unbeatable enemy out of thin air.
To them, You-Know-Who was currently a temporarily stable, uncontrollable factor.
Faced with such power, if he became angry out of shame because they discovered his identity,
their entire Avengers team combined would be no match for You-Know-Who.
Furthermore, they had watched with their own eyes as Odin was beaten so badly he couldn't even raise his head.
To the point where even those Asgardians knelt on one knee before You-Know-Who; they didn't even need to look to know what the situation was.
So the truth behind why they didn't come over was also due to this reason.
"I see, that's simply wonderful! We haven't seen each other in a long time!"
Hode grinned, his eyes gleaming.
He took a step forward and pulled Wanda directly into his embrace.
Needless to say, he had mostly been dealing with trivial matters lately.
He hadn't even had much time to sit down and properly catch up with Gwen.
Now that he had finally met up with Wanda, he naturally couldn't stop missing her.
"Did you miss me?"
Wanda's disappointment was suppressed by this embrace.
Actually, she had also missed Hode a lot during this time, but there were too many chores in the Avengers.
Although they basically didn't have to go out to battle, the trivial matters were not lacking at all.
"Of course I missed you!"
Hode gave Wanda a look, and Wanda instantly understood his meaning.
"As expected, what's on your perverted mind isn't me at all!"
Although Wanda scolded him in annoyance, she was still quite happy deep down.
No matter what, Hode was thinking about her.
"By the way, have you eaten?"
Hode wrapped his arm around Wanda's waist and said meaningfully, "I can make you a Western-style meal today, like hot dogs, sandwiches, and milk!"
At these words, Wanda's face instantly flushed red, but looking at Hode who was so close, she couldn't help but nod slightly.
When she was chatting with Natasha, she also learned a little tip: if a person isn't full, they will want to go out and buy other things to eat.
So one must eat their fill at home to ensure they don't go out to eat.
"Shall we go back now, then?"
Looking at Wanda's shy expression, Hode was suddenly beaming with joy.
Needless to say, as they grew more familiar, Wanda's responses became increasingly passionate.
He couldn't help but feel his desires stirred!
"I..."
Wanda looked at the Police not far away with obvious hesitation.
Although she had come over first to negotiate, there should still be quite a few things to handle at the scene.
The scope of this battle was simply too vast. Aside from everything else, even in New York, many people had suffered injuries like falls due to the sudden tremors.
There were even quite a few vehicles that rear-ended each other because of the massive commotion.
Even at sea, there were many things that needed help arranging and handling.
This battle had affected far too many people.
"It's fine, it will definitely be okay with Tony and the others around!"
Although Wanda didn't tell Hode the exact reason, he could guess her thoughts at a single glance.
Without another word, he drew a circle with his right hand, summoning a golden Dimensional Portal. "Let's go!"
Before Wanda could say anything more, he had already held her waist and arrived inside the manor.
"It seems they still haven't reached an agreement?"
In the distance, Tony watched the two figures step through the Dimensional Portal and shook his head helplessly.
Earlier, they had asked Wanda to go over precisely because they wanted her to see if she could introduce them.
He indeed hoped to have You-Know-Who join their Avengers.
After all, this You-Know-Who's strength was far greater than they had imagined.
If they could win him over, they would never have to worry about any unexpected incidents when facing crises in the future.
"It's normal. After all, an existence like him wouldn't want to join this kind of playing-house game."
Rhodes stood to the side, shrugging with a "just as I thought" expression on his face.
In fact, he had already vaguely guessed it; the other party could be said to lack nothing right now.
With such immense power, money, status, fame, and fortune were all within easy reach.
Joining the Avengers specifically would only bring unnecessary trouble upon himself.
"But it's really a pity. If such a powerful force could be used to protect the Earth..."
Steve sat on a fallen tree, shaking his head slightly with a helpless expression.
He was still a bit disappointed with this outcome. With great power comes great responsibility.
But the other party clearly did not want to take on these responsibilities.
"Forget it, don't think about it, guys. We still have a lot of things to clean up."
Tony clapped his hands and took the lead in turning to walk toward the quinjet.
Currently, the work at the scene had been taken over by the Police.
Furthermore, there were no injured residents nearby, so they might as well go help with disaster relief elsewhere.
...
...
Inside the manor.
Lorna lay on the sofa in a short skirt, watching TV, humming a song, and swinging her calves from time to time.
This kind of life was simply as comfortable as could be for her, and she could truly have whatever she wanted to eat.
Buzz~
"Lorna..."
With a buzzing sound, Lorna suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the voice.
She saw Hode holding Wanda as they walked directly through the Dimensional Portal into the living room.
"Mr. Hode, Sister!"
When Lorna saw the two of them, even her movements froze.
She really hadn't expected Hode to return at this time, and that she would be seen in such a casual state.
She even forgot to eat her potato chips, immediately sitting up straight with a bright red face.
"It's fine, you don't need to be so nervous!"
Hode chuckled. In a way, Lorna was actually quite cute.
Although she had been here for a while, she had never relaxed in front of him.
This resulted in Lorna hiding in her room most of the time if he was at home.
It was rare to see Lorna so relaxed in the living room.
"Lorna."
Wanda looked at her half-sister, a complex emotion flashing through her eyes.
She had to admit, after getting close to her sister, a unique feeling emerged in her heart.
It was a feeling of being connected by blood, as if she and the sister in front of her were very familiar with each other.
"Sister."
Lorna was clearly very constrained; she didn't even know in what state she should face her family.
Beneath her happiness was a trace of fear, as if she could be abandoned at any moment.
"Go and have a good chat with your sister."
Hode suddenly slapped her rounded rear and spoke with a smile.
With a crisp smack, Wanda's face instantly turned bright red.
She glared at Hode in anger and annoyance: "What are you doing? My sister is still here."
Being suddenly ambushed in front of her sister made her expression extremely embarrassed.
However, because of this, Wanda's mood instantly relaxed a lot.
The two sat on the sofa and chatted about their respective experiences.
It had to be said that they were both victims of a similar fate, both ending up in their current situations because of HYDRA.
After half an hour, Lorna suddenly seemed to remember something, patted her small head, and said, "Mr. Hode, Sister, neither of you has eaten yet, right?"
"No, we haven't."
Wanda nodded subconsciously.
After all, they had rushed over immediately after the incident happened, so they definitely hadn't eaten anything.
However, Hode's expression became very strange, even a bit unsightly.
He suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I made dinner specially today, just in time for you and Mr. Hode to try it!"
The moment Lorna spoke, Hode's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
Although he had already guessed what would happen next, knowing it for sure still made him feel like he was about to fall apart.
"Well..."
Hode looked at the excited Lorna and ultimately sighed helplessly.
He wanted to refuse, but this was Lorna's kind intention after all.
And since Wanda was also here, it wouldn't be very appropriate to refuse just like that.
After Lorna brought the two of them to the dining room, she quickly took out the prepared dishes from the insulated box.
This time she had made a full ten dishes. Although they couldn't be described as perfect in color, aroma, and taste, they were at least complete in color and taste.
From the appearance, it was already countless times better than last time.
"Lorna, you made all of this?"
Wanda looked surprised; her own cooking skills weren't very good.
She hadn't expected her sister to have such good cooking skills.
"Pretty much, Sister Imelda helped me a lot!"
Lorna scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.
Because when she first started, she was basically in a state of either burning things or leaving them raw.
It was also because Imelda was there that she was able to prepare so many dishes.
"Lorna has really made great progress!"
Hode was so relieved he almost cried. He had already made up his mind that he would give Imelda a raise no matter what.
If it weren't for Imelda, Lorna's KDA today would probably be +2.
At the dinner table, everyone was happy and harmonious, and Wanda couldn't help but look at Hode beside her.
Under the illumination of the lights, his sharp-featured face seemed to soften quite a bit at this moment.
She couldn't help but place her hand on Hode's leg.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she finally had the feeling of a home again.
All of this was brought to her by Hode.
"Ah?"
Hode felt the slender hand and met Wanda's gaze.
But in the next second, a meaningful expression appeared on his face.
He hadn't expected that sometimes, Wanda would be even more proactive than him.
"Lorna, you eat first. Your sister and I have some work to do upstairs!"
Hearing this, Lorna was stunned.
What work?
But before she could ask, she saw Hode pull her sister into his arms and walk quickly upstairs.
"Mr. Hode and Sister are really in love."
Lorna looked at Hode and Wanda's fiery passion with a face full of envy.
But to her, as long as her sister was happy, she was happy.
...
...
...
After a passionate session upstairs.
"Hode, shall we go out and play for a few days?"
Wanda stretched her body, releasing the soreness all over her at this moment.
"Sure! Where do you want to go?"
Hode agreed casually. After all, there was nothing to do lately, and he was free anyway.
It was better to go out with Wanda; maybe they could find some other fun.
"I want to go to Westview for a vacation. It's a town I saw when passing by before. The scenery is pleasant, and there are cherry blossoms in full bloom."
Wanda expressed her thoughts without hesitation.
Hode hadn't expected Wanda to go to Westview for a vacation.
Westview—in the original story, that place was Wanda's dream settlement where she wanted to start a family with her lover.
In other words, Wanda had actually completely accepted him now.
"Let's drive there ourselves when the time comes so we can enjoy the scenery along the way."
Wanda took Hode's hand and spoke in a pleading tone.
Hode nodded, leaving all the arrangements to her.
At this moment, as the sun was setting, Hode took Wandato the balcony of the room to enjoy the sunset.
They could enjoy the sunset perfectly from here.
Suddenly, the manor's alarm went off.
"Master, there is an intruder outside!"
Red Queen's voice suddenly rang out.
"An intruder?"
With a thought, Hode immediately sensed everything inside the manor.
In the next second, he sensed Gwen, wearing her Ghost-Spider suit, stumbling over the wall.
She looked somewhat disheveled. Just after climbing over the wall, she collapsed on the ground, motionless.
"It's Gwen. Her situation doesn't look good."
Hode and Wanda quickly got up and went downstairs to find Gwen.
...
Chapter 93: Three-person night operation, that night's battle suit belonged to Gwen!
In the courtyard, Gwen lay on the ground, groaning softly, her suit covered in dust.
Even her mask had a tear in it, clearly the result of a battle with someone.
"Gwen!"
Hode stepped forward quickly and scooped Gwen up.
Wanda hurried after Hode, helping him bring Gwen into the messy room.
After placing Gwen on the bed, Hode carefully removed her mask.
The pain had soaked Gwen's hair with sweat, and her face was filled with a look of agony.
Her body twitched slightly, and her fair face was covered in bruises.
"Damn it! Who on earth did this!"
Seeing this, veins bulged on Hode's forehead.
He never expected that anyone would actually attack Gwen.
Moreover, Gwen's injuries were severe; based on his examination, even her internal organs had sustained significant damage.
It could be said that Gwen was only able to make it here through sheer willpower.
Without that willpower, she likely would have collapsed halfway here.
"She looks like she's in so much pain!"
Wanda gritted her teeth, feeling a faint pang of heartache.
The person who did this was simply too ruthless; otherwise, given Gwen's skills, she shouldn't have suffered such severe trauma.
Hode placed his hand on Gwen's, and at the same time, the Horse Talisman on his right hand began to glow.
Green energy was continuously channeled into Gwen's body through their physical contact.
As the energy from the Horse Talisman flowed in, Gwen's injuries began to heal at an extremely rapid pace.
The pained expression she had originally worn became much more relaxed after the energy was injected.
"Lorna, go pour her a glass of water."
Wanda turned her head to look at Lorna, who was standing to the side, and said.
Although Wanda had many questions she wanted to ask, she knew this wasn't the right time.
She also didn't know what had happened to this young girl.
To have such strong skills and still end up so severely injured.
When the energy within her body had repaired Gwen's injuries, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Her pupils were filled with fear and dread.
The moment she saw Hode, the fear and vigilance in her eyes vanished instantly.
"Hode!"
Gwen threw herself into Hode's arms, her eyes instantly turning incredibly red.
Even her voice was trembling; the enemy she had encountered this time was simply too terrifying, and she had even thought she wouldn't make it back.
Watching Gwen's actions, the jealousy in Wanda's heart vanished completely.
After all, she was just a poor young girl.
She at least had companions in the Avengers, but little Gwen had always been relying on herself alone to maintain the safety of the public.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Hode gently patted Gwen's back, speaking to soothe her.
He could see that Gwen was currently terrified to the extreme.
"I almost thought I wouldn't make it back!"
Gwen's high, petite nose twitched continuously as she spoke with a whimper.
She truly thought she was about to die, and while she still had a sliver of consciousness left, she kept pushing herself to get to Hode.
But thankfully, in the final moments, she still made it.
"What exactly happened?"
After comforting Gwen for a while, Hode finally took the initiative to ask about the incident.
Since the other party dared to attack Gwen, he naturally wouldn't let them off.
But for now, the priority was to figure out what was going on.
"I've been investigating a guy codenamed Vulture recently. I found a lead after school this afternoon, but I didn't expect to be ambushed while tracking him."
With red-rimmed eyes, Gwen told him everything she knew.
The opponent's strength in a direct fight wasn't strong, but he happened to be able to fly.
Moreover, he carried many different types of weapons, and these weapons made her scramble to deal with him.
In the end, if it hadn't been for the opponent's carelessness, she would have truly met her end.
"Vulture?"
The moment Hode heard this name, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Although this World was very different from what he had imagined, he never thought he would encounter Vulture in this Universe.
Vulture's name was Adrian Toomes, and he ran a salvage company in New York.
The reason Hode was so surprised that he appeared was that Vulture was Liz Toomes's father.
He was the father of the girl Peter Parker had a crush on in another World, but this guy was also a pitiful person.
Because he had exhausted his own fortune to finally obtain government authorization to salvage Chitauri scrap.
He then used this scrap to study alien technology, hoping to make a fortune.
But he never expected that the establishment of the Department of Damage Control, led by Stark Industries, would cause his authorization and partnership to be unilaterally torn up by the government.
It was also because of this that he faced bankruptcy, which led him to start hating the Avengers and hiding the Chitauri scrap he had already salvaged.
It was just unexpected that this guy would happen to run into Gwen.
Although Gwen's strength was decent, she was still a bit lacking compared to the suit Vulture was wearing.
Furthermore, Vulture's suit not only allowed him to fly but also had many other uses.
If he were up against Tony, he would indeed be beaten to a pulp, but Gwen was simply too weak, which was why this had happened.
"Vulture, is it?"
Wanda gritted her teeth, speaking with anger in her voice: "Don't worry, I will help you deal with this guy!"
Although Gwen was indeed her romantic rival, she had already let that go for now.
Moreover, she also sympathized with this poor child.
After she went back at the time, she specifically investigated Gwen's background and learned about what Gwen had experienced.
Despite being so young, she had to bear so much pressure.
While taking care of her father, she also had to fight against criminal forces.
For a kid who had just started college, the things she had to shoulder were simply too much.
"You will?"
Hode couldn't help but be stunned; he truly hadn't expected Wanda to take the initiative to help Gwen.
After all, the relationship between the two was indeed a bit special.
"You seem surprised?"
Wanda crossed her arms in dissatisfaction, her ample bosom exposed: "I'm not that petty; one thing is one thing, and helping Gwen doesn't mean I want to sleep in the same bed as her!"
After all, she wasn't stupid; after connecting the dots with previous events, she had guessed that Gwen was Ghost-Spider.
And before, after dealing with the Minotaurs, those two had most likely gone on a secret date.
Just thinking about it made her angry, but she didn't blame Gwen for it.
After all, in her view, Hode, this playboy, was not exactly a well-behaved person.
"Haha."
Hode scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed look: "Gwen, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
He had no intention of continuing to bicker about this topic.
"Yeah, I want to eat steak!"
Because Gwen had already recovered, after hearing this, she quickly put what had just happened out of her mind.
And in front of Hode, she was just like a little child.
And there was another point... she didn't know how to face Wanda.
Before, when she was at the park, she had thought about facing her most true feelings.
But she hadn't expected to run into Hela at that time, so in the end, she didn't say it.
Now, although she wanted to say it, with Wanda nearby, she still couldn't bring herself to speak.
"Alright, then I'll make some for you!"
Hode originally wanted to smile and reach out to rub Gwen's little head, but noticing Wanda to the side, he ultimately withdrew his hand with a sheepish smile.
Steak was a very easy food to prepare, and in just a few minutes, it was served in front of Gwen.
"Phew~ I'm full."
Gwen smiled until her eyes were almost squinted into slits.
During this time, she had been longing for Hode's cooking.
But there were simply too many things at school, and on top of fighting criminals, she could never find the time.
Today, she was finally able to properly enjoy Hode's craftsmanship.
"Go take a shower after you're done eating."
Wanda looked at Gwen with a smile.
After all, Gwen's combat suit was covered in dust.
And it must be quite uncomfortable to keep wearing such tight-fitting clothes.
"Okay!"
Facing Wanda's suggestion, Gwen's lips curled up, and she nodded in agreement without hesitation.
After all, she was feeling stifled now, and she had also sweated quite a bit during the fight earlier.
As for the combat suit, after Gwen changed out of it, Wanda picked up the suit and walked towards the laundry room downstairs.
She planned to wash it, check for any damage, and then have the maid at home help mend it.
"Wait!"
Just as Wanda was about to put Gwen's combat suit into the washing machine, her peripheral vision suddenly noticed something wrong.
It was that there were traces of mending in the crotch area.
In an instant, the events of that night flashed through her mind again.
"Could it be... it couldn't be..."
Her expression suddenly stiffened, and she carefully lifted a corner.
Although the thread used for mending was the same color, if one looked carefully, they could still see the stitches.
This was clearly the exact same spot that had been torn when she was with Hode last time!
That is to say, last time she...
In this instant, Wanda's face flushed red; she never expected it to be like this.
"Hode!!!"
Wanda took a deep breath, her voice sounding as if it were being squeezed through her teeth.
She never in a million years imagined that things would turn out this way.
Now she finally understood why Hode had acted as if he had been pumped full of adrenaline at the time.
This was clearly Gwen's combat suit; that damn guy must have accidentally mixed it in.
"What's wrong?"
Hode happened to be walking down the stairs and asked in confusion upon hearing Wanda's suppressed voice.
But the next second, the expression on his face froze, because he clearly saw the spider combat suit in Wanda's hands.
"My dear Mr. Hode, could you explain to me what this combat suit is about?"
Wanda approached Hode with a stiff smile and shook the combat suit.
"What do you mean, what's it about? Haha, I think I forgot to have Imelda tidy up the room."
Hode scratched the back of his head, forcing a smile as he prepared to make a run for it, but the next second, that stiff smiling face was already right in front of him.
"That day, could it have been..."
Wanda lowered her head, revealing the stitch marks more clearly: "No wonder you had so much fun."
From this tone, one could hear Wanda's suppressed anger and shyness.
Her face was already bright red, and one could even see that the tips of her ears had turned pink.
This wasn't even cosplay anymore; this was just putting on the combat suit and performing it in real-time, right!
And to make matters worse, this piece of clothing had actually been worn by Gwen again.
This feeling made the expression on Wanda's face increasingly strange.
"Um... ah... well, this..."
Hode stammered awkwardly, scratching the back of his head, unable to say anything for a long time.
The evidence was right in front of them; who could have imagined it would turn out like this?
And what he hadn't expected even more was that Gwenhadn't thrown this combat suit away.
Instead, she had mended it and kept wearing it. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have given it back to Gwen!
"So this was my combat suit from that night; I was wondering where it had gone."
Wanda's tone was already filled with anger, and one could even hear her teeth grinding together.
"Calm down, this was your own choice, and you even said it was pretty good!"
Hode raised his hands, the corners of his mouth unable to stop curling upwards: "Besides, weren't you also very happy?"
He really couldn't help it; he couldn't even imagine how shy Wanda was inside right now!
"Hode!"
Wanda raised her hand to pinch Hode: "Don't you dare say another word!"
She couldn't even imagine what would happen if Gwenfound out about this.
She would never be able to show her face again.
"If you like it, you can wear it again!"
Hode turned and ran!
The two chased each other around the room.
Lorna dangled her little feet in the living room, watching this scene, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister and Mr. Hode have such a good relationship."
In the guest room.
Although Gwen's injuries had already healed.
However, the mental exhaustion still caused Gwen to lie on the bed and sleep for several hours.
When she woke up, she groggily opened the bedroom door.
The moment she opened it, Wanda, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly turned her head to look at her.
Immediately after, the fair skin on her face instantly turned pink.
"What's wrong?"
Gwen touched her own cheeks, constantly looking herself over.
Why was Wanda like this as soon as she saw her?
"It's nothing."
Wanda waved her hands nervously.
"Um, Hode, I want to go find Vulture and take revenge!"
Gwen walked up to Hode, gritting her teeth as she said: "Is my combat suit washed?"
After suffering such a big loss, she definitely couldn't just let it go!
"Alright!"
Hode patted Wanda, who was sitting beside him, with a wicked grin: "Where's the combat suit? Hurry up and let Gwen put it on!"
"You..."
Wanda glared fiercely at Hode (705u.com-53 Reading Club) beside her, and remembering what she had done while wearing that combat suit, her expression became incredibly awkward: "It... it's ready."
She walked into the laundry room and took out the combat suit; when she looked at a certain spot, her heart couldn't help but race.
She hadn't even realized that she had unknowingly done such a stimulating thing.
"What's wrong?"
Gwen looked at Wanda in confusion; she kept feeling like Wanda was being a bit hesitant.
"Why don't you change into a different combat suit?"
Wanda took a deep breath, her voice even carrying a hint of pleading.
After all, this suit was previously...
And just thinking about it made her feel very awkward and uncomfortable.
Although quite a long time had passed, every time she saw it, she recalled the events of that night.
Moreover, the real owner should have been downstairs that night, which made her face flush even redder.
"No need, as long as it works, it's fine."
Gwen rejected Wanda's generous offer.
She sniffed the combat suit, "Huh, Mr. Hode, did you not use the photinia-scented laundry detergent this time?"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Hode, who was drinking coffee, turned bright red and coughed violently.
Behind him, Wanda lowered her head, pinching Hode's waist fiercely.
That detestable Hode!
This guy is simply a pervert!
If she had known it was Gwen's combat suit, she would never have worn it even if it killed her!
And this guy even lied to her and said it was a cosplay combat suit; this was clearly intentional!
"Gwen, where are we going first?"
Hode suppressed a laugh and waited for Gwen to change into the combat suit before preparing to leave.
"The clue I found is at the Granfu warehouse in Queens!"
However, this time, it was finally Queens suffering, not Manhattan.
Hode nodded casually and swiped his right hand.
As a golden light shone, a Dimensional Portal opened.
And on the other side, a warehouse appeared.
"Yes! This is it!"
Gwen gritted her teeth and stepped through the Dimensional Portal.
Hode stretched and said calmly: "Then let's begin the operation!"
Chapter 94: Wanda and Gwen join forces, going wild all night with Hode!
The warehouse was located in the suburbs, and it was quiet all around.
Gwen cautiously observed the surroundings.
"No need to look, there's no one here!"
Hode moved his thoughts and immediately sensed that there were no signs of human activity inside this warehouse.
"He's actually not here?"
Gwen frowned; according to the intelligence she had gathered.
Vulture should basically be staying in this warehouse.
"Let's go in and take a look first."
Hode took the lead and walked with large strides toward the warehouse gate.
After just two steps, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect this guy to be quite cautious."
"What?"
Gwen didn't quite understand what Hode meant and looked at Hode with a confused expression.
Hode hooked his right hand, and the soil on the side began to turn over rapidly.
When all the soil was turned over, five individual combat landmines appeared.
"This guy actually set landmines at the entrance to his own warehouse?!"
Gwen widened her eyes; if it weren't for Hode, she might have really stepped on them.
She never imagined that Vulture would be cautious to this extent.
"It seems Vulture is quite interesting."
Hode squeezed with his right hand, crushing the detonation device inside, and casually tossed the discarded landmines into a corner.
It must be said that Vulture was very clear about where his weaknesses lay.
Therefore, he would be extra cautious even in the place where he lived.
There wasn't even a trace of anyone passing by.
The warehouse gate was a very traditional double-door, and a large lock was hanging on it.
The lock itself was the size of a head, which showed how important the items inside were to Vulture.
Without waiting for Hode to act, Wanda took the initiative to use Chaos Magic to twist the lock into a lump of soft plasticine.
The moment Hode pulled the gate open, the things inside appeared before everyone.
Inside, there were many military green cargo boxes.
"What are these?"
Gwen stepped forward and casually opened a cargo box, only to see some damaged weapon components inside.
And the text written on them clearly indicated that these were previously discarded Chitauri weapon components.
"This guy is actually using discarded Chitauri components to assemble weapons!"
Gwen widened her eyes. She had previously been wondering where Vulture got his weapons from.
She never expected that they were actually remodeled and crafted from discarded Chitauri weapon parts!
"It's not that simple."
Hode raised his right hand and hooked his index finger slightly.
All the crates placed in the outer warehouse opened accordingly.
The vast majority of the contents were discarded Chitauriweapon parts.
"Come and look!"
Gwen walked to the southeast corner of the warehouse, and her eyes widened when she saw the parts inside.
Inside, there were high-tech weapons on display!
"This guy actually managed to successfully remodel these weapons!"
Wanda walked up to the crate, and after seeing the weapons inside, her pupils contracted sharply: "It seems the person Tony has been investigating for smuggling goods lately is Vulture!"
She knew that Tony had been very focused on a weapons smuggling case recently.
This was because the weapons involved were all left behind by the Chitauri, and after being modified, their power increased significantly.
Moreover, every batch of these weapons sent overseas had caused massive casualties among civilians.
However, the perpetrator's method of transporting weapons was far too covert, and even Tony didn't have a good solution.
After all, the perpetrator moved goods without anyone noticing, and he didn't even have enough time to react.
"If you are investigating smuggled weapons, then it is nine times out of ten the batch you are looking for!"
Gwen took a deep breath and stated her deduction with a grave expression.
Because she had also been investigating Vulture and had found that Vulture had been engaging in smuggling activities all along.
However, because she had never found this place, she wasn't sure exactly what Vulture was smuggling.
"It seems we've killed two birds with one stone this time, which saves Tony from having to keep looking!"
A smile appeared on Wanda's face; after all, Vulture had been hiding extremely well.
And now the Avengers had a lot of work on their hands, so they simply couldn't spare the time to look for him.
Now, it was perfect; everything was resolved at once.
"I wonder where this guy actually went."
Gwen frowned; they couldn't just keep waiting here forever.
"Let's go down and take a look!"
Hode suddenly spoke up: "There is another space below."
If he hadn't used his perception, he really wouldn't have thought that Vulture had actually set up something else down there.
Under Hode's guidance, the two soon arrived in front of a rug.
This rug looked pitch black; it was impossible to tell how dirty it had become.
Hode hooked his right hand, and as the rug was lifted, a steel door appeared beneath it.
This was clearly the entrance to the Underground Roombelow.
"This uses a combination lock."
Gwen crouched down, opened a cover, and frowned.
If it was a combination lock, it would be impossible to get in.
"A password?"
Hode put on his Bluetooth headset and said: "Red Queen, crack this password."
Although he could open it directly with force, it was connected to the network after all.
Once it was forced open, it would very likely alert the enemy.
"Master, it is open!"
In less than a few seconds, the password in front of them was entered automatically.
"Mr. Hode, what is this?"
Gwen was stunned; she didn't know such operations were possible.
This couldn't help but surprise her.
"It is just an AI."
Hode did not explain the origins of Red Queen in detail.
Gwen didn't pay too much attention to it, and after the Underground Room opened, she walked inside immediately.
As the lights turned on, everything inside came into view.
The warehouse below was actually built of steel; not only that, but all kinds of materials were piled up everywhere inside.
This was clearly an underground laboratory, appearing to be about three hundred square meters in size.
Although it wasn't large, all kinds of equipment were placed everywhere inside.
As for those materials, one could recognize at a glance that they were all parts of various weapons.
There were also some weapons that hadn't been assembled, but it was clear that these were Chitauriweapon materials.
"This guy's weapons were actually remodeled here!"
Wanda was somewhat shocked; one had to know that the structure of Chitauri weapons was extremely complex.
This guy called Vulture was actually capable of assembling them himself.
In a sense, Vulture could already be considered a genius in the field of research.
After all, the Chitauri were an alien civilization, and in many aspects, they were very different from Earth's technology.
But even so, Vulture had managed to research and develop them.
"Laser cannons, self-aiming ballistic scopes, laser guns..."
Hode stood in front of these scattered weapons and saw the function of these weapons at a single glance.
And what surprised him even more was that these weapons were basically pieced together.
They had even been heavily modified by him.
"Come and look!"
Gwen stood in front of a computer and called out to the two with a hurried tone.
When the two arrived at Gwen's side, they saw the content on the computer.
[Bank Robbery Plan!]
When they saw the title, everyone instantly understood Vulture's next plan.
"They are planning to act tonight, but there are so many banks here, there is simply no way to lock onto the target!"
Gwen couldn't help but get a headache looking at the plan above.
Judging from the content, this not only planned the method of escape but also included the subsequent routes for fencing the stolen goods.
At the same time, even the time of the operation was written clearly; this was clearly an operation planned for today.
Moreover, the chosen target was clearly a bank within Queens, it just didn't specifically mark which bank it was.
What could be seen were things like the blueprints of the bank vault.
But just with the blueprints, there was no way to determine Vulture's current target in a short time.
"I'll notify Tony."
Wanda said, hesitating.
If they let Tony search, he should be able to determine the opponent's location very quickly.
"No need, I have a way."
Hode waved his hand, stopped Wanda from making the call, and said directly: "Red Queen, help me lock onto Vulture's current location!"
Although he could cover the area instantly with his perception, it was quite troublesome to find him without confirming the opponent's aura.
By comparison, Red Queen's search speed would be faster; after all, wherever there was a network camera.
No matter what location it was, Red Queen could lock onto it immediately.
"Master, the target's location has been confirmed; Vulture is currently in the alley to the right of the Gusk Bank branch."
In less than three seconds, Red Queen had locked onto Vulture's current location via the network.
"Found Vulture; should I handle it, or...?"
Hode turned his head to look at Gwen beside him and asked.
After all, if he were to do it, dealing with such an existence would mean he could make him disappear from the world even without arriving at the scene.
In that case, there would be no need to make a trip over there.
"I want to take revenge myself!"
Gwen took a deep breath and looked at Hode with a determined expression.
If not for Vulture's sneak attack, she would absolutely not have fallen into a disadvantage so easily.
Moreover, she didn't want to keep hiding under Hode's wings.
She believed that she could also finish off Vulture.
Outside the Gusk Bank in Queens.
Five figures appeared in the alley to the side.
And one of the figures was the most eye-catching.
Behind him was a pair of huge mechanical wings.
The coat he was wearing was hung with various kinds of weapons.
And the most attention-grabbing thing was the mask he wore on his face.
Unlike the hoods worn by the others, the mask he wore on his head was just like that of a medieval Doctor.
It was a mask similar to a bird's beak, only compared to that kind of mask.
The bird's beak on this mask was significantly smaller.
The people around him were all holding weapons, waiting for Vulture to give the order with grave expressions.
"Everyone is ready, right?"
Vulture raised his hand, checked the designated time, and asked.
After seeing the few people nod affirmatively, he pressed the button he was holding without hesitation.
Beep...
The bank's electronic networked control door slowly opened.
In the middle of the night, the opening of this door didn't attract anyone's attention at all.
This was the program Vulture had specially set up; as long as he pressed the button, it would immediately cut off all connections in the vicinity.
This allowed the police to have no way to watch all the surveillance cameras nearby in real-time.
Not only that, but it could also automatically open all networked doors inside the bank.
"Boss, you are still the best!"
One of the lackeys couldn't help but praise him.
This saved them a lot of effort.
Not to mention anything else, at least for the short term, there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Stop talking nonsense."
Vulture coldly led the way into the bank: "We only have ten minutes now!"
Although they had hacked into the cameras, the Police's internal detection system was not just for show.
They would definitely be discovered within ten minutes, and the nearest Police station was only eight minutes away.
Therefore, everything had to be resolved within twenty minutes to ensure they could leave unscathed.
Vulture had studied the route to the vault many times and reached the outside of the vault without any effort.
The four people he brought didn't need Vulture to say a word; as soon as they saw the vault, they immediately attached the bombs to the vault door.
Boom!
With a few loud bangs, the vault door was violently blown open.
The safes inside all came into view.
"Boss! We've really hit the jackpot this time!"
As the few men rushed in, they couldn't help but let out sharp cheers.
Although cash and the like were taken away at night,
the biggest feature of this bank was that it stored many personal items.
These personal items were priceless, and even those luxury jewels were countless.
"Stop the nonsense and hurry up!"
Vulture frowned and scolded through gritted teeth.
He also walked quickly towards one of the safes.
His purpose this time was not just for money.
Because if it were just for money, he could simply sell weapons.
His main purpose was that a shareholder of Stark Industries had hidden some secrets here.
And his target was naturally these documents.
Just as he was about to take out the documents, footsteps were heard outside the vault door.
"Looks like you guys are pretty fast."
Hode walked in with Wanda and Gwen.
Looking at the messy scene around them, Hode couldn't help but sigh.
After all, this work efficiency was simply too fast.
If the plan had been executed according to the scheduled time, the vault door had already been opened in less than three minutes.
Even professional robbers couldn't possibly be faster than them.
"Vulture, just wait to be captured!"
Gwen lowered her body and struck a fighting stance.
"I wondered who it was, I didn't expect it to be Ghost-Spider. I didn't think you were still alive!"
After seeing Gwen, Vulture's muffled laughter came from under his mask.
"I definitely won't die, but the same can't be said for you!"
Gwen gritted her teeth and stared at Vulture; she would absolutely not let her guard down this time.
Moreover, this was inside the vault, and although the space was large,
it was much better than being on the street.
At least she could handle Vulture's flight ability.
"Wait, are you Hode from Stark Industries?"
Just at this moment, Vulture suddenly noticed Hode beside Gwen.
The reason he was so clear about this was entirely because he had immense hatred for Stark Industries.
He had firmly memorized the information of all the shareholders in his mind.
"That's right? Want an autograph?"
Hode curled his lips and said in a teasing tone.
"Die!"
Vulture didn't give the others any chance to react, initiating the attack instantly.
But before he could pounce, Gwen immediately entangled him.
As two streams of Spider Web sprayed out, they stuck Vulture's wings directly to the ground.
As for the other four, they were just about to take out the weapons Vulture had given them.
A crimson light flashed, and their weapons instantly began to melt.
In just an instant, these few people had already turned into ashes.
"Damn it!"
Vulture couldn't help but curse; if those four people had reacted a little faster earlier, this definitely wouldn't have happened.
But there was nothing to be done about it; these four were just people he found randomly to take the blame.
Even worse, Gwen already knew his advantage.
So she had stuck his wings down at the first opportunity.
And the next second, Gwen had already reached his back via the wall.
Crack!
A harsh sound rang out, and the wings on his back were actually ripped off directly by Gwen.
