I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 457 American "Gentleman": Don't worry about it, just pretend you didn't see it!
The "self-explosion" that happened to the Japanese devils was naturally not a "punishment from heaven" but man-made.

It’s actually very simple, Lin Hao just snapped his fingers.

After collecting all six Infinity Stones, rules can be set for the universe. Thanos can wipe out half of all life in the universe with a snap of his fingers. However, these rules are only for the population of a country, and the backlash they bring to Lin Hao is not as great as the two previous consecutive "score brushing".

Of course, Lin Hao also got some points this time. Although he was not the main participant and the points would be reduced proportionally, Director Lin didn't care about that at all.

The main purpose of doing so is to allow compatriots to take revenge with their own hands, awaken their oppressed blood, vent their accumulated hatred, and eliminate their inner demons.

It's more effective than simply killing all the devils with a snap of your fingers.

Moreover, this kind of large-scale strange incident can have an excellent deterrent effect and buy China precious construction time.

So when the news reached the other side of the ocean, the first reaction of the White House and the Pentagon was disbelief.

"Impossible, only God can do this!"

After hearing the reports sent back to the Foreign Affairs Department from the embassies in China and Japan, Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring began to shout in anger.

"I'm afraid this is true," Secretary of State Cordell Hull said in a deep voice.

The United States does not have a traditional foreign ministry. Its diplomatic functions are handled by the State Department, which is led by the Secretary of State. Intelligence uploaded by the embassies in China and Japan is gathered here by the current Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who is Roosevelt's old friend and best partner, and has accompanied him throughout almost his entire presidency.

Cordell took out two large file bags and poured out the black-and-white photos inside.

"These are the images taken by the envoys stationed in China and Japan in the Magic City and Tokyo. They even took videos of the Japanese self-destructing..."

Faced with a large amount of evidence, these American gentlemen collapsed on the sofa in despair.

"Incredible, incredible!"

Roosevelt, who was behind the "Resolute Table", looked serious and asked, "Has Mr. Stark arrived?"

Tony Stark has become the communication messenger between the Americas of two time and space, because there is also a Howard Stark in the time and space of 1939, who is a big businessman trusted by both the White House and the Pentagon. With their "father-son relationship", America in 1939 is more willing to believe Tony.

The American elites in 2023 have no choice, because their actual leader Nick Fury is a black man and naturally cannot get the trust of these people eighty years ago.

"They've been notified and will be here soon," Roosevelt's secretary reported.

A moment later, Tony arrived in a hurry. In fact, he had already installed a communication system in the Oval Office, but these older people were still more accustomed to face-to-face conversations.

"Friday", who could intercept radio waves, had actually told Tony what happened in China and the East Asian Islands, but he was only surprised for a moment before he understood the intentions of the S.H.I.E. and Lin Hao.

According to Yini's idea, he could just call the President and explain the reason. There was no need to waste time making a trip. After all, he still had a lot of things to do.

But these "gentlemen" of the older generation were too scared!

Tony finds himself having to provide counseling like a kindergarten teacher, which is fucked up.

After walking into the Oval Office with reluctance, Tony still showed basic courtesy.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

"Hello, Mr. Stark." Some people in the office stood up and shook hands with him.

Tony Stark was born in 1970. He will be fifty-three years old in 2023. He is not younger than most people in this office, but he looks younger thanks to future technology. After a round of meaningless greetings, Roosevelt couldn't wait to ask, "Tony, do you know what happened in China and Japan?"

"Yes, I just launched a few satellites that can now orbit the earth and take pictures..."

Tony briefly introduced the functions of the satellite. Although he hadn't launched it yet, it would only take a few words to tell it when he got back. It wouldn't be good to say that he had intercepted their radio signals and cracked the communication code using artificial intelligence, right?

"Gentlemen" attach great importance to personal privacy!

Upon hearing about the functions of the satellite, the eyes of several generals from the Pentagon lit up and they were eager for him to provide more.

Roosevelt quickly brought the topic back: "Tony, who do you think did this?"

As a "gentleman" who had received higher education, Roosevelt naturally did not believe that this was a "punishment from God" and must be man-made.

Otherwise, why did the divine punishment come only now?
Why didn’t they come out when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the Forbidden City?
When building San Francisco and Los Angeles, they deceived China into sending shiploads of "pigs" to them. Countless Chinese workers' bones are buried under the Great Western Railway.

Why was there no divine punishment at that time?
"S.H.I.E." Tony answered without hesitation.

"How is it possible for humans to do this?" Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring demanded. "How do they achieve such precision strikes?"

Tony took a deep breath and thought for a moment before finally deciding to tell the truth. Although the truth was cruel, it should at least let these people have a clear understanding.

Whether you never recover or try to avoid it, it is a future that you must face.

He took out a small metal round cake from his pocket, placed it on the coffee table and pressed it lightly, and the light emitted upwards formed a projection image.

"When the universe first opened, there were six singularities. They turned into six Infinity Stones, one in each parallel universe..."

In just a few minutes, Tony reshaped the worldview that had been formed over decades for the "gentlemen" in the office.

"As long as you collect all six Infinity Stones, you can establish new rules for the universe, such as randomly erasing half of the life in the universe, or bringing back life that has been erased for five years."

Facing the surprised and dazed looks of these people, Tony smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, these are things that our universe has experienced before, so there is no need to doubt its authenticity."

Roosevelt was silent for a long time before he managed to utter a sentence: "Tony, you mean that the S.H.I.E.A. used the six Infinity Stones to establish a rule for the Orientals? A rule that will self-destruct if they have any ill will towards the Chinese?"

"Yes, S.H.I.E. has all six Infinity Stones in its hands," Tony replied.

"Hiss..." The temperature in the Oval Office became much hotter.

"That... doesn't that mean..." a general from the Pentagon said tremblingly, "They can also set the same rules for Americans?"

You can’t hit or scold the Chinese, you can only worship them like ancestors?

How is this still playing?
Didn’t you see that even the emperor was played to death?

"If that person is willing to relieve his boredom in this way..." Tony smiled bitterly: "Yes, he can do it, just by snapping his fingers."

"Gentlemen, something has happened!" The office door was pushed open, and another secretary who was responsible for collecting and organizing emergency communications from various departments for the president rushed in and reported in a hurry: "Japanese immigrants in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other places have exploded for unknown reasons, and Chinese immigrants are attacking communities where Japanese immigrants live."

"Tell the police everywhere to leave it alone!" Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who shared the same sentiments as his old friend, immediately said, "As long as the Chinese do not spread the attack, just pretend you didn't see it."
