Chapter 256 Sweating Prof. Obadiah, the Iron Monarch (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Coulson and Melinda left.

Fury sat upright, glancing at the frozen image on the projection screen, feeling somewhat relaxed.

too difficult.

Fury never expected that something like this would happen in Washington today.

It almost sparked a war between humans and mutants.

Ordinary people might not know, but as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., didn't he investigate Magneto, Professor X, and the X-Men?

It can be said that these materials have already been fully investigated in the information and data archives.

Especially considering the attitude expressed by John, the FBI director in Washington, D.C.

Nick Fury sensed the crisis immediately.

He cursed those idiots inwardly for suddenly becoming so tough; they must have lost their minds.

Throughout history, a stable red line has been maintained between humans and mutants.

They can secretly persecute mutants in various ways.

Magneto and the X-Men, without crossing this red line, rescue and fight against mutants within the rules.

Ultimately, they won't completely break off relations.

Everyone maintained a certain level of understanding.

The reason for this is that they are afraid of Magneto and Professor X.

Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants and Professor X are like two nuclear bombs.

Once the fuse is triggered, an unprecedented disaster will immediately erupt.

Because these two are too powerful.

Magneto had already demonstrated his power and intimidation to the world in the early 1980s and 1990s.

Humans dare not push mutants to the brink of extinction, but only test the waters time and time again on this red line.

To test Magneto, and to test Professor X's bottom line.

Today, this red line has actually been torn apart.

No one knows what Nick Fury's state of mind was when he saw Magneto switch scenes on television and see the floating nuclear bomb.

I just want to curse.

He hasn't even dealt with Hydra, and now a war is about to break out here.

Keep in mind that Nick Fury had already picked up the Star Pager, ready to press the button and call back his old friend who hadn't been back to Earth for countless years if things went wrong.

As Jean Grey unleashed her power, nearly blowing up Washington, D.C., he had already entered the distress code and was just waiting for confirmation.

Fortunately, the mysterious Terran Emperor eventually appeared and resolved the crisis.

The situation is now both chaotic and stable.

The chaos stemmed from the fact that Hydra, mutants, presidential assassinations, and other events all erupted at the same time.

The stable place is that of the Terran Emperor.

Nick Fury was somewhat relieved that there was actually someone like the Terra Emperor in this world.

Fury's moral bottom line is very flexible.

No matter how strong his desire for control or how great his paranoia, he was ultimately not a purely power-hungry ambitious man.

Essentially, he hopes that the Earth can remain peaceful.

Ideally, we should have the power to counter external threats.

Ideally, one should be the one maintaining stability.

But since the Terran Empire exists and the Terran Emperor has caused Nick Fury's own ideas to deviate, at least it's better to have it than not.

The Earth possesses its own unique power.

Fury knew that the existence of Terra and the Emperor kept Earth at peace for the time being, and prevented it from being threatened by external forces.

The role of maintaining stability and overseeing the overall situation has shifted, and Fury accepts it wholeheartedly.

His primary objective now is to deal with Hydra first.

This is Fury's biggest worry.

Whatever plans there are for the future, they must be based on the premise that S.H.I.E.L.D. remains clean.

"Pierce~~"

Fury's single eye flashed with a cold light; the breakthrough point was this old man.

There is no doubt that this incident in Washington has once again ignited global attention.

The president was assassinated, nearly leading to a full-scale war with mutants.

Whether it's the US government's tough stance or the mutant threat theory, both have sparked disputes between two opposing camps.

One group believes the White House's response was correct.

In particular, Magneto has gained the ability to launch nuclear weapons at any time, which clearly escalates the threat level posed by Magneto.

Professor X is alright.

Many people know how powerful Professor X is, but most ordinary people don't.

I've only ever heard of Professor X.

Many people do not consider him a threat at all, let alone think that he is more threatening than Magneto.

On the contrary, it's Jean Grey, the Phoenix from X-Men.

The power she displayed was terrifying.

The combination of these two factors meant that the threat of mutants officially entered the hearts of all humanity.

Humans will always fear those who hold the power to destroy them.

Because everyone is afraid of death.

Everyone would be afraid.

Especially since the nuclear button that could destroy them is in the hands of mutants.

Who isn't afraid?

Who can be sure that Magneto, a terrorist who was originally portrayed and promoted as such, will never press the button to detonate a nuclear bomb?

What if this old man goes crazy one day?

As people get older, it's not uncommon for some elderly people to do crazy things.

Therefore, this group advocates that mutants must be eliminated.

The opposing camp argues that mutants themselves are innocent, and that the environment and the government have deliberately promoted the mutant threat theory, making the environment in which mutants live increasingly harsh.

The responsibility lies entirely with the government.

We must reflect, we must change; they do not want war to break out.

The two camps continued their discussions.

The only point of consensus reached was within the Terra Empire and among the Emperors.

Guardians of order and humanity.

Two global crises, one the demon invasion in Manhattan and the other the Washington incident, solidified the reputation of the Emperor and the Terra Empire.

What else is there to say?

There's definitely no room for doubt.

This is a living, breathing deity.

No one knows how many years they have lived, nor how long the Emperor, leading the three great warbands of Astartes, Ravens, and Grey Knights, has silently protected the Earth.

The unknown is what makes people most likely to fill in the blanks with their imagination.

Terra has made a fortune from its reputation.

Deep down, they believed that Terra and the Emperor posed no threat to them; on the contrary, they were their great fathers, protectors who safeguarded them and the Earth from external threats.

What are you questioning?

Questioning whether they shouldn't have killed those demons?

Only those cult followers of demons would regard the Terra Empire and the Emperor as a threat and an enemy.

However, there was one person who was different.

That was Obadiah Stanislav, CEO of Stark Industries.

The billionaire is sweating profusely in his villa.

Others may not know, but he is still unaware of what he has done.

Sokovia has been embroiled in war for years, with a bunch of poor people using some of the world's most advanced weapons to fight each other in this wretched place.

Some of the results were driven by his own efforts.

Obadiah and the military-industrial complex he has assembled.

Previously, the secret to Sokovia's wealth was that Obadiah had never even touched the common people in that small country.
