Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 262 Ross: The Sorcerer Supreme is of course different!
“Of course, Sorcerer Supreme. Please be patient, our meeting will begin shortly!” Secretary Ross said seriously to Harry, his attitude completely different from when he was dealing with other superheroes.

After everyone was seated, Secretary of State Ross stood up, a friendly smile on his face, and said:

"Five years ago, I was swinging my bat to hit the ball when I suddenly had a heart attack. That was the best period of my life. I went through a 13-hour surgery and had heart bypass surgery."

I learned experiences and foresight that 40 years of military service had never taught me.

The entire world owes the Avengers a huge debt of gratitude; you fought for us and risked your lives to help us.

Many people see you as superheroes, while some people…

Ross's expression changed from its previous amiable demeanor to a serious one, as if he were speaking up for the Avengers:

“And some people prefer to call you ‘volunteer police officers’.”

At this moment, Black Widow, sitting next to Harry, asked a pointed question:

"Mr. Secretary of State, which word would you like to use?"

"'Dangerous'?" Secretary Ross said in a deep voice. "A group of superhumans living in the United States, ignoring sovereign borders, imposing their will on any place and anyone they choose, completely disregarding the consequences. What would you call such people?"

Harry suddenly tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. Although the sound was very soft, it successfully made the atmosphere in the room even more tense. General Ross subconsciously took a step back, and the soldiers stationed around him gripped their guns even tighter.

But they simply gripped their weapons tightly, daring not to make any other movements, because they knew that firearms were just boring toys to the Sorcerer Supreme, posing no threat whatsoever.

The Sorcerer Supreme is on a completely different level from the other heroes!
Secretary Ross swallowed hard to calm his nerves. He cursed inwardly, wondering why this troublesome guy was attending the meeting. He didn't remember ever inviting him.
However, on the surface, Secretary of State Ross still managed a smile and gestured:
"Does the Sorcerer Supreme have anything to add?"

Harry asked doubtfully, "General Ross, I am also a member of the Avengers, and many of the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are also members of the Avengers, so can I take that you are expressing your dissatisfaction with us?"

Secretary of State Ross became even more nervous. He hadn’t expected Harry to be so direct. The government was indeed extremely dissatisfied with Kamar-Taj. How could the government feel at ease with an independent organization whose combat power was comparable to that of a major power, or even far surpassed that of a top power?
However, Secretary of State Ross would not bring it up directly like Harry did. Although the Sorcerer Supreme is on the side of justice, they have already confirmed through various sources that the Sorcerer Supreme protects the entire Earth and all human beings. He will not be morally blackmailed by them like other superheroes.

If you do anything that affects their efforts to protect the Earth, Kamar-Taj will really go berserk!

Secretary of State Ross waved his hand repeatedly and added:
"This is of course different. Kamar-Taj has Kamar-Taj and the floating city as its territory. It is an independent country recognized by the United Nations and has visa-free access and law enforcement authority for all countries."

These are universally recognized rules; your enforcement of these rules is certainly not a violation!

Steve, Tony, and the others exchanged bewildered glances. They couldn't believe that Secretary of State Ross was so shameless. He attacked them with full force but was so subservient to Harry. Where was his dignity as Secretary of State?

Harry was very satisfied with Ross's answer. He nodded and said, "Very good, Mr. Secretary. Please continue."

Ross breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion; he had finally managed to get away with this troublesome guy.

Then, he turned on the projector, his expression turning serious again. He avoided looking at Harry, focusing instead on Tony and the others, seemingly oblivious to their strange gazes, and continued:

"Next up is the destruction caused by the Avengers, specifically—New York!"

The projected image shook, and a large, green figure appeared.

The Leviathan warships flashing by in the background and the blue-skinned aliens suggest this was a scene from the Battle of New York.

In the footage, the building's exterior wall crumbles like a biscuit under Hulk's powerful punch, with concrete blocks and steel bars raining down.

Each time he pushed off the wall for leverage, the glass curtain wall seemed to be shattered like a mirror by an invisible giant hand, with tens of thousands of fragments exploding in the air.

The entire building emitted a sickening metallic twisting sound as the steel frame was twisted into a pretzel by Hulk's thick arms. Sparks flying from the fracture ignited the broken insulation layer, and thick smoke mixed with building dust rose into the air.

This green behemoth, like a runaway demolition machine, recklessly tore at the wall as if it were a climbing wall.

Tiles, pipes, and fire hydrants were scattered and broken wherever he went. The human-shaped grooves sculpted by the force of his impact covered the entire wall, as if it had been repeatedly drilled through by a giant drill bit.

The civilians on the ground watched in horror as he climbed up the collapsed walls, the entire building groaning in agony as cracks spread visibly through the walls.

All eyes turned to Banner, who scratched his head sheepishly and remained silent in embarrassment.

He doesn't know what to say right now. It was indeed Hulk's fault, but it was also his fault.

With Harry's guidance, he has gradually come to accept the Hulk's existence.

"Alright, it seems you all know what you've done. Now let's see what happens next—Washington!"

The scene shifts again, showing three space carriers plummeting from the clouds like out-of-control steel whales, trailing burning flames behind them.

The first ship struck the Capitol dome, turning the blue and white Stars and Stripes to ashes in the violent explosion. Marble columns collapsed, crushing bronze statues on the steps into dust.

Hot metal debris rained down on the street, crushing cars into scrap metal in an instant, and gasoline mixed with blood spread across the asphalt.

The second ship veered into the commercial district, its glass curtain wall shattering into sharp fragments in the shockwave. Office buildings resembled beehives gnawed by a giant beast, with countless desks and filing cabinets cascading down from the torn floors.

The neon signs on the commercial street were twisted and deformed, and the giant billboards hanging there were swept up by the blast wave and smashed into the crowd, instantly turning the entire street into a sea of ​​fire.

The last space carrier crashed into the Washington Monument, breaking the 100-meter-high marble column in half. The smoke and dust obscured half the sky.

The nearby Lincoln Memorial cracked amid violent tremors, half of the face of the Lincoln statue was sheared off by falling steel supports, and flying debris shattered shop windows along the street like bullets.

The burning engine wreckage rolled into the Potomac River, sending water columns dozens of meters high into the air, and the surging heat waves shoved the moored yachts onto the riverbank.

The entire city of Washington was shrouded in thick smoke and ruins, with cries, explosions, and the shrill screams of twisting metal all intertwined.

Upon seeing the video, Steve lowered his head, a look of remorse on his face.

Ross nodded, satisfied with Steve's reaction. Sure enough, the kind-hearted Captain America couldn't stand this. He switched to the next scene:
Lagos!

A deafening explosion rang out, the building shook violently from the shockwave, walls collapsed instantly, and bricks and glass rained down. Inside, agonizing screams and desperate cries mingled together, the people of Wakanda utterly engulfed by this sudden catastrophe.

Some were struck by flying stones, their clothes instantly stained crimson with blood, and they lay on the ground, their fate unknown.

Some were pinned down by falling ceiling beams, only able to groan in pain, struggling desperately but unable to break free from this heavy constraint.

Others tried to escape in the chaos, but were choked by the billowing smoke and dust, groped helplessly in the darkness, and were eventually swallowed by the scorching heat.

After the explosion, the scene was a complete mess, like a living hell.

The once bustling and lively neighborhood has been reduced to ruins, and the pungent smell of gunpowder lingers in the air for a long time.

The surviving Wakandas stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with fear, shock, and grief. Gazing at the destroyed buildings and the tragic state of their loved ones, tears streamed down their faces.

They couldn't understand why this had happened; the loved ones they had just parted from were now cold corpses.

Newly recruited Falcon Sam lowered his head in shame, offering a pained apology:
"I'm sorry, if I could have been faster back then..."

Steve patted Sam on the shoulder abruptly, offering him one of the few words of comfort, then looked seriously at Secretary Ross and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, that's it!"

Secretary Ross, not wanting to push too hard, paused the camera on the tragic state of a Wakanda woman, then said seriously:
"Over the past four years, you have been operating without any oversight or constraints, and governments around the world can no longer tolerate this situation continuing."

But we have a solution, the Sokovia Accords, which are supported by 117 countries. It stipulates that the Avengers will no longer be a private organization.

All your actions will be subject to strict monitoring by the UN task force, and you may only act when the task force deems it necessary.

At this point, Steve finally couldn't help but retort:

"The Avengers were formed to make the world a safer place, and I believe I've succeeded!"

Secretary of State Ross retorted, "Steve, tell me, where is that alien Thor now? He caused so much destruction on Earth, and then just walked away. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Secretary of State Ross used a different analogy, continuing:
"If I put a 30-megaton nuclear bomb in the wrong place, the consequences are unimaginable."

Compromise at the right time and provide safeguards—this is the best way to do things nowadays. Believe me, it's the most moderate and appropriate approach!

At this moment, Colonel Rhodes, who was sitting at the very front, waved his hand and asked:
"Then, there should be an emergency plan, right?"

Secretary of State Ross replied:

"That's right, the United Nations meeting will be held in Vienna in three days to approve this resolution."

At this moment, Black Widow asked in a low voice:
What if our decision doesn't go your way?

Ross's face was instantly shadowed, his expression terrifyingly grim. "Then you can all retire!"

Steve looked at Tony, and the two stared at each other for a moment before turning to Harry, awaiting his answer.

Harry raised an eyebrow, indicating that he would handle it.

After Ross finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the conference room before Harry smiled and said:
"Mr. Secretary, I wonder if I could attend this meeting, um, on behalf of Kamar-Taj!"

"Sorcerer Supreme, are you going too?" Secretary of State Ross asked with some doubt. Although Kamar-Taj had long been recognized by the United Nations as an independent country, the Sorcerer Supreme had never attended a single United Nations meeting.

As for the reason, Secretary of State Ross could guess roughly.

The Sorcerer Supreme usually faces demons from other dimensions, and may even be dimensional gods. He also associates with mysterious mages from other dimensions. How could he possibly look down on an organization on Earth?
So why did he want to participate this time?

Without a doubt, it's definitely related to the Avengers!
Secretary of State Ross is concerned whether the Sorcerer Supreme opposes the Sokovia Agreement.

If the Sorcerer Supreme opposes it, the signing of the Sokovia Accords will certainly encounter enormous resistance, and many countries may abstain from voting in order not to offend the Sorcerer Supreme!
However, Secretary of State Ross could not find any way to stop Harry from attending the UN meeting, since it was perfectly appropriate for him to attend as a member state.

Therefore, Secretary of State Ross could only force an awkward smile and say:
"Of course! The United Nations would absolutely welcome the Sage Supreme's participation in the meeting!"

……

At Steve's house, a host of superheroes gathered to discuss matters for the upcoming meeting.

Despite having already decided to establish a multiverse League of Heroes, Tony and Steve still dislike each other, a situation that has persisted since they first met.

However, because Wanda forgave Stark Industries, the company that manufactured the missiles, and also forgave Tony Stark, who was once the CEO of Stark Industries, Tony also forgave Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier who was controlled by Hydra and killed his parents.

Otherwise, the two of them would definitely have fought a fierce battle, and it's even possible that they would have to fight to the death!

At that moment, Tony opened a screen and said to Steve:
“I’m telling you, I’m right. Look at this child, Charles Spencer, the son of the mother who came to me to complain. He’s such a good boy.”

He is a computer engineering major with an average grade of 3.6. He plans to look for a job at Intel in the fall. Before that, he wants to gain some experience and see the world.

However, during our battle with the Chitauri, he was struck by a building and died.

We had absolutely no decision-making process, so stop talking and give the decision-making power to Harry; he can lead us!

When Tony uttered his last words, Steve could find no way to object, nor did he want to object.

After all, unlike Tony, who is still somewhat childish, he is more mindful of the bigger picture, and he is already very satisfied with his current decision!
