In the Marvel Universe: I can summon items from all dimensions.

Imagine if a powerful figure with unclear allegiance, who has just killed many people, suddenly said, "You are about to disappear." What would the person standing opposite him think?

Regardless of what others thought, Tony and Reed immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

This is a threat, isn't it? This is definitely a threat, isn't it? It's probably a declaration that they've gotten carried away killing and decided to slaughter us all too, right?

So, almost instinctively, they both assumed a fighting stance.

One extended its limbs, the other donned a helmet, and began preheating the weapon system.

Inspired by these two, the other three members of the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man all became highly alert, looking ready to fight at any moment.

"Listen up, no matter who you are, New York isn't a place where you can do whatever you want!"

Jonathan, his fire blazing once more, shouted a warning: "If you want to make a move, then we'll have to deal with you!"

"What are you doing?"

Mason tilted his head. "Did I say anything like a declaration of battle?"

"?"

Reed was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized he might have misunderstood something. He swiftly extended both arms to over two meters long, blocking his teammates: "Wait!"

At this point, Spider-Man couldn't hold back any longer. He flipped off the truck, spread his arms wide, and shouted, "So, can anyone explain to me what's going on? And who are you, lady over there?"

"Good question." Mason immediately chimed in, smiling. "You can think of me as a righteous alien who happened to be passing by and accidentally stumbled into the ninjas' killing spree, so I immediately came to their aid."

Everyone: "?"

As superheroes, they've seen it all, battling everything from terrorists to evil organizations. They've also had their share of erratic pronouncements, like alien lords about to descend upon the world and bring judgment upon this wicked place. Normally, people would just remark on the wild imaginations of a madman, but now it's a completely different story—

You should know that madmen are not scary; what's scary is a madman with great power.

So, although they immediately had thoughts like "What's wrong with this guy?", given the immense power Mason displayed, they didn't dare to treat her carelessly—after all, severely mentally ill people never hesitate to use their actions to illustrate their worldview, and who knows what terrible things this woman might do to prove her point.

In addition, the two scientist-turned-superheroes had a terrifying thought—could it be that… what this guy is saying is actually true?

"Don't you believe me? That's perfectly normal."

Mason smiled and continued, "After all, Earthlings' technology hasn't advanced to the point where they can see through my mimicry."

"..." Mr. Fantastic Reed paused for a moment, then cautiously said, "Assuming you really are an alien, why are you revealing your identity to us here?"

Scientists have an incredible ability to make connections. The moment they have the thought that "this guy might actually be an alien," they go through most of the arguments in cutting-edge scientific theories, sociology, and science fiction. Unfortunately, there is no Ultraman series in this world, so their associations all veer in some dubious directions.

"The reason? That's quite simple."

Mason replied, "I only mimicked his appearance; I don't have any social connections or a household registration system. After what happened at the hospital, you will definitely try your best to investigate me, and I hate trouble, so I might as well reveal the truth after it's all over—that way, I can save a lot of trouble."

The unexpected and simple statement left everyone present stunned—they were all highly educated people, and no one could fail to understand what Mason meant, but precisely because of this, they couldn't think of a response for a moment.

"But even if I don't do that, I won't be staying on Earth for much longer."

While they were still organizing their thoughts, Mason finally revealed his true intentions: "I've had a very enjoyable time on Earth, and in return, let me tell you some unfortunate news—some evil gazes from the universe have their eyes on Earth, and before long, their forces will reach the Oort Cloud. Given the current level of Earth's civilization, it's impossible to cope with interstellar war. In other words, although you haven't realized it yet, Earth's civilization is already on the verge of extinction."

This is probably what they call a groundbreaking statement.

To be fair, this isn't just Mason making things up. Whether in comics or movies, Earth in the Marvel Universe has never been spared from alien invasions: Dark Elves, Chitauri, Skrulls... the list goes on and on. If he were to list them all, it would probably take more than a page. If he just guesses one of them, he'd be considered a prophet—that's the advantage of having a charlatan-like identity.

The reason for doing this is quite simple—he simply couldn't bear to see this world, which literally possesses infinite potential, continue to stagnate for some ridiculously trivial reasons.

Taking the cinematic universe as an example, the Earth civilization in that world had already achieved contact of the third kind in the 20th century, but until the mid-21st century, it was still just wandering around in the small solar system. Despite having powerful figures like Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange who were strong enough to rival Thanos, and technological geniuses like Iron Man who could have pushed the technology tree to level two or even higher, it was still just wandering around in the small solar system. The overall level of civilization seemed to have made no progress, to the point that even a group of Skrull refugees could cause a serious crisis.

Isn't this shameful? How is this any different from Tyson being slapped to the ground and crying loudly by a passing kid on the street?

Of course, the world is different, and the problems we face are different as well. From what we know so far, this world is much more exciting than the early cinematic universe. There is no absence of certain heavyweight characters due to copyright disputes. Take the charlatan Dee and Tony in front of us as examples. With their abilities, even if they work in isolation, they might be able to assemble a usable spaceship within ten years.

Mason was already tired of the ugly struggles caused by conflicting interests on his home planet in his previous life, so there was no reason for him to continue to endure it after transmigrating and gaining power. Therefore, he had already thought of this when he was communicating with Carter—in short, to show off his power and play the role of a charlatan.

In comics and movies, large-scale alien invasions are usually resolved by the Avengers' lightning-fast response, making it difficult for politicians and the public to feel the impact. Mason decides to change this situation. He first aims to create a buzz, then find ways to guide change through indirect or direct intervention, ultimately shaping the world in a direction he desires.

For Mason, that was simply the goal.

For the superheroes present, such remarks were quite explosive, even by the standards of the superhero world.

It's not necessarily new, but those who say such things in the past are usually mentally insane—cults have been rampant in the United States for a long time, and which state hasn't seen lunatics holding banners and spreading strange ideas in the streets?

But this was the first time they'd ever seen someone bring up aliens and the apocalypse only after collapsing a building and demonstrating superhuman strength.

This makes one wonder if there's any truth to what the person in front of them is saying.
