The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 270 Current Situation
Wes wanted to know what important events had occurred during his absence from Earth.

Although Kingpin didn't fully understand all the details behind these events, he had an extensive intelligence network in the New York underworld and told Wes as much as possible.

First, there was the disbanding of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This news exploded internationally like a bombshell, but the authorities did not give any clear reason. They simply announced the decision to the public, shocking and confusing countless people.

However, Jin Bing learned some inside information through his own channels.

SHIELD was riddled with holes after being secretly infiltrated by Hydra, which used SHIELD's resources and platforms to launch an "Insight Project."

The essence of this plan is an extreme act of terrorism. They attempt to use advanced technological means to carry out large-scale attacks and elimination of targets they regard as threats, completely disregarding the safety of ordinary people and international order.

This crazy move completely angered various countries. After all, no country wants to see such an uncontrolled and dangerous organization acting recklessly on its own territory.

Moreover, for a long time, some of SHIELD's actions in international affairs have made many countries feel that it has gradually become a running dog of the United States and has lost the fairness and independence it should have as an international security organization.

Under tremendous pressure from the international community, this once behemoth collapsed.

Secondly, superheroes led by Captain America, Iron Man and others formed the Avengers.

The establishment of the Avengers seemed to bring a glimmer of hope to this crisis-ridden world, making people feel that with such a group of powerful guardians, the earth can be protected from various unknown threats.

However, this move has also caused some different voices. After all, the power of superheroes is too strong, and their existence itself is like a double-edged sword. It can protect humans, but it may also cause great harm to humans if it gets out of control.

Third, super criminals appear more and more frequently, and these criminals have caused a lot of trouble.

For a time, society fell into chaos.

There are many different opinions on the reasons for the increase in the number of super criminals.

One theory is that the emergence of superheroes is like a magnet, attracting those who also have special powers but have ulterior motives.

These super criminals see the attention and popularity that superheroes receive, and out of jealousy or desire for power, they begin to imitate them and use their abilities to satisfy their own selfish desires.

This view angers superhero supporters, who believe that superheroes are fighting to protect humanity and that the blame should not be placed on them.

As a result, a fierce war of public opinion broke out, with various different opinions in the media, on the Internet, and even among government officials.

Some believe that superheroes are responsible for the emergence of these super criminals, while others firmly support superheroes.

In this chaotic situation, some people have suggested that all superheroes reveal their identities, believing that only in this way can people avoid falling into panic due to fear of the unknown.

But this suggestion has also sparked new controversy. Whether superheroes should sacrifice their privacy and safety in order to satisfy the public's right to know has become a focus of debate.

Since its establishment, the Avengers have resolutely devoted themselves to the difficult journey of clearing out the remnants of Hydra.

Hydra, a terrorist organization that has been lurking in the shadows of history for a long time, is like a cancer buried deep underground with countless tentacles. Its power is complex and deeply rooted.

Their members are like cockroaches hiding in dark corners, spread all over the world, whether it is a bustling metropolis, a remote village, or even those mysterious places with few people. The members of the Avengers are well aware of the harm caused by Hydra, but they have no law enforcement power, which makes them face many obstacles in their actions.

In the international community, each country has its own system of law and order, but the actions of the Avengers are outside these rules.

Although their actions against Hydra on the territory of other countries are just from the perspective of maintaining world peace, in the eyes of many countries, they are like an infringement on their own sovereignty.

As a result, many countries developed deep resentment towards the Avengers, and this resentment spread rapidly internationally like wildfire.

Moreover, most of the members of the Avengers are Americans, which has further exacerbated the concerns of other countries.

In the delicate balance of international politics, this imbalance in nationality ratio has led other countries to wonder whether the Avengers is just another tool of the United States in international affairs.

Governments around the world have been putting pressure on the US government, and the phones in the White House have been ringing almost non-stop, urging the US government to explain and restrain the actions of the Avengers.

The US government is caught in the middle, in a dilemma. On the one hand, it has to deal with the dissatisfaction of the international community, and on the other hand, it does not want to lose the powerful force of the Avengers. The whole situation has fallen into a complex and tense dilemma.

Iron Man and Captain America, the two core figures of the Avengers, also have different opinions. This disagreement is like a subtle but deep crack that quietly appears on the seemingly solid building of the Avengers.

With his genius wisdom and business acumen, Iron Man is more inclined to bring the Avengers under a certain regulatory system.

He is well aware of the damage that unrestrained power can cause and hopes to ease pressure from the international community by working with governments to provide a legal framework for the actions of alliance members.

Captain America, a veteran who upholds freedom, justice and pure moral concepts, firmly opposes this way of being regulated.

He believes that superheroes' actions should be based on their own judgment of justice, rather than government orders influenced by political interests. Once they are subject to supervision, they may lose their autonomy and thus be unable to truly protect those in need.

Amidst such a complex web of contradictions, the newly formed Avengers Alliance has shown signs of division.

The members were more or less affected by the differences in views between the two leaders, and the internal atmosphere became delicate and tense.

The team that was once united to fight the threat now has cracks in the clash of ideas, just like a huge ship sailing in a storm, and loose planks are beginning to appear.

Wes listened quietly to Kingpin's story, and had a rough idea of what time it was.

He understood that a civil war between superheroes would break out in the world next, and the scale and impact of this war would far exceed people's imagination.

This will not be just a conflict within the Avengers like in the movies. The war will quickly spread and evolve into a fierce conflict between superheroes around the world.

Those super criminals hiding in the dark are like a group of sharks that smell blood. They will never miss this great opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

They will take advantage of the chaos to rise up, exacerbate the situation and seek benefits for themselves.

The world today is like a warehouse full of gunpowder, just waiting for someone to ignite this powder keg that is about to explode.
