Alien invasion? Luckily, I'm Superman.

Hydra's Insight Plan has been thwarted by Su Mo and the Avengers; now it's just a matter of distributing the spoils.

As soon as the battle ended, at Su Mo's request, Scarlet Witch used her mind control ability to brainwash the Hydra on the central space carrier, making it obey Su Mo's orders. She then ordered the Hydra to operate the carrier's radar and optical cloaking. Su Mo then covered the space carrier with his bio-force field and quickly carried his spoils to Africa, where he settled them.

In the days that followed, the Helicarrier, which had been rescued by Captain America and Black Widow, was used by Nick Fury as the base for the newly established S.W.O.R.D. After leaving before the Avengers departed, Nick Fury secretly recruited loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who had been eliminated by Hydra.

When the mothership took off and the president was attacked, Nick Fury visited the attacked president and, with his support, established S.O.R.D., responsible for Earth's outer space defense, extraterrestrial affairs, and deep space intelligence.

The salvage operation of the space carrier wreckage was also handled by the Sky Sword Bureau. Under Nick Fury's cover, the space carrier that Su Mo took seemed to have never existed in the first place. No one discovered the vanished space carrier.

In the past few days, Su Mo hadn't been idle either. After acquiring Tony's Ark energy technology and some Mark mech technology, Su Mo returned to his own universe and exchanged for faster-than-light technology and other technologies, which he then traded to Tony Stark.

Meanwhile, Earth in Su Mo's own universe was also developing rapidly. Post-war reconstruction was almost complete, and technology was exploding under the influence of alien threats. Compound V was also being promoted on a small scale in the military.

To Su Mo's surprise, his reputation continued to rise after he retrieved Compound No. 5. As more and more of the technology of the spaceship that was left on the moon was deciphered, Su Mo's position was promoted thanks to the efforts of a group of people, led by Chief Zhao, who were grateful to Su Mo for saving them and Earth.

Meanwhile, after acquiring faster-than-light technology, Tony began researching it frantically, drinking coffee like water and sleeping only four hours a day, becoming increasingly haggard. This led to a big argument between Tony and Pepper, but Tony eventually gave in and returned to a normal routine.

Su Mo hadn't forgotten the space carrier and Hydra agents in Africa either. After taking Wanda along and having her brainwash everyone individually, he established his own power base, naming it the Sky Eye Society. (He's terrible at naming things, didn't know what to call it.)

To this end, Su Mo undertook a massive construction project, using his super speed and super strength to excavate a relatively regular, enormous cavity in the desolate underground of Africa. The cavity walls were reinforced by Su Mo using heat rays to melt the soil and metal ore fragments. Though rudimentary, it was sturdy.

And those brainwashed—or rather, Su Mo's subordinates—used their previously public identities—identified within Hydra that even S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't documented—to infiltrate surrounding weak and underdeveloped African nations. After Alexander was captured by Nick Fury, thanks to the tacit understanding between Fury and Su Mo, the identities of these agents would never be exposed.

Agents infiltrating underdeveloped African countries are gradually replacing high-ranking officials, undermining leaders, formulating better and more effective policies, rapidly developing national power, and incidentally generating operating funds and personnel for the Sky Eye Foundation. It's a win-win situation.

While Su Mo was engrossed in developing his power, Dr. Banner, along with Tony who occasionally came to help, finally replicated the intelligence framework within the Mind Stone into the local area network of Tony's Avengers base. This artificial intelligence demonstrated a learning ability ten times stronger than Jarvis.

Tony was very interested and, after adopting some of its advanced features, significantly upgraded Jarvis. Afterward, the two began preparing to create a powerful body for this artificial intelligence to deal with the upcoming crisis. To this end, Tony procured a large amount of materials, including some vibranium from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s collection—thankfully sponsored by Nick Fury.

Others, like Hawkeye, finally made up their minds and retired. Clinton lived a happy life with his wife and children after retirement. Black Widow Natasha returned to her past nightmare—the Red Room—and burned it to the ground. She then followed the clues to find her former instructors who were still alive and the person in charge of planning the Black Widow operation. She wiped out the rest, completely bidding farewell to the past.

Captain America catches up with a gradually recovering Bucky, reminiscing about their time together in the Howling Commandos. As Bucky's memories unfold, Steve learns that it was Bucky who attacked Tony's father, Howard, and attempted to stage a car accident. However, Howard survived and was rescued by several people who appeared out of nowhere.

After much deliberation, Captain America finally told Tony. Faced with Bucky's sincere apology and the fact that the culprit was dead and Howard was still alive, Tony was still furious. However, considering that Bucky was controlled by Hydra and was a victim, Tony ultimately accepted Bucky's apology. But out of remorse, Bucky said goodbye to Steve and joined Nick Fury's Little Thunder Special Operations team to atone for his life's sins.

Meanwhile, with the Avengers' repeated feats of saving the world, superheroes sprang up all over the globe like mushrooms after rain. A friendly neighbor, Spider-Man, appeared on the streets of New York, and Ant-Man and the Wasp were spotted by cameras in San Francisco. (You might not remember all the other superheroes besides Spider-Man; for example, I almost forgot Quicksilver.)

In short, everything seems to be thriving. But is that really the case?

-

After Alexander, one of Hydra's most powerful figures, was captured, many of Hydra's visible businesses were completely dismantled, and a large number of agents went underground, becoming even more secretive. Deprived of funding, the various factions were forced to accelerate their unfinished projects in preparation for the impending crackdown.

In China, in the Himalayas, at Kamar-Taj, a young figure practices tirelessly. The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, observes from the shadows, silently watching the still-weak Strange, filled with worry about the ever-changing future.

In Kunlun, with a dragon's roar, disaster struck. Vast swaths of blood covered the once peaceful temple.

In Asgard, Odin, seated on his throne, felt an overwhelming drowsiness—the Odin's Slumber. This also signified the beginning of Ragnarok.

Deep in the universe, a majestic purple king quietly awaits his destined future in the planet-sized Temple II.
