Elden Gulong in American comics

Due to the existence of the Holy Tree Sanctuary, some mutants who have learned the prayers of the Golden Tree can go out to make a living and use prayers to heal others. These mutants have become the guests of the dignitaries in New York and the surrounding areas, and continue to feed back The sacred tree sanctuary itself.

Their power comes from the gift of the holy tree, so they are all loyal to Mikaela. Several of the most devout mutants even started to learn some advanced prayers, but due to the lack of basic education, they obviously prayed to the golden tree that requires intelligence. Some strenuous.

On the other side, the power in Locke's hands is growing. Jane Foster, who is more suitable as a warrior than a scholar, has become famous recently. Because the public knows that she has obtained Locke's power, the female Thor is very popular. A lot.

Jane, who has made a name for herself in Hell's Kitchen, gradually expanded her sphere of influence to the surrounding areas. Her good looks and roaring thunder quickly won her a large number of fans, many of whom are women, and there are even support clubs on the Internet. organization.

The other Hawkeye who gained Locke's power is much more low-key. He is not very suitable for the use of Long Lei, who is used to bows and arrows. Use it as a trump card.

Restricted by his identity as a SHIELD agent, his reputation is not great, but he has attracted many agents who also desire Locke's power to secretly sign up for Locke's plan, eager to obtain the power of the dragon like Hawkeye.

And after Locke came down in Times Square, a plan called Thunder Legion became known to the world, and he could obtain super powers and walk with dragons. Such opportunities are rare even in Marvel, so in the first launch One day, Thunder Legion's online website was overwhelmed.

That's right, Locke even made a website for his plan, using some scales and pieces like Tony Stark's server, which can be regarded as catching up with the wave of informatization.

"Master Gu Long, there are too many applicants, and we have received more than a million applications." Lorna held the book and said aggrievedly: "I am alone, even with the help of Jarvis, I can't review it." come."

Locke curled his lips. He had thought of this happening a long time ago, so he also found a solution: "Then set a threshold. We need both ability and talent. If it is ability, people with a doctorate are preferred. "

Lorna was stunned. As a 14-year-old girl who had not finished junior high school, a PhD level talent was a bit too high for her: "Isn't it too demanding..."...

"I'm just saying priority, and I don't have to be a doctor. What's the use of so many nerds?" Locke flapped his wings angrily: "The point is the second, we need talented people, do you know what talent is? "

"Um, can you get an A+ in the exam?" Lorna recalled the bullies in her class when she was in junior high school, and thought of Tony Stark's appearance: "Or like to smoke, drink, and play with women?"

"That's a bastard, not a genius, even a genius is a genius bastard." Locke sighed, he always felt that someone smarter should be found to manage this stall, but Locke is more inclined to be loyal than smart:

"Talent is someone with superpowers, a mutant like you, or someone with other special abilities."

Speaking, Locke pushed the girl's body: "Okay, let's go quickly, there are still many things to do, and we can't rest yet, Miss Witch."

After crushing child labor, Locke was happy physically and mentally. He checked the information of those applicants. There were not many people who applied to join, but many of them were not suitable at first glance.

Locke sighed, trying to find those superhero reserves hiding in the crowd, it was still a bit difficult to rely on this method, he found the information sent by SHIELD, which contained SHIELD agents and some military and political personnel with backgrounds Personnel:

"Daisy Johnson, this seems to work."

"Brock Rumlow, this seems to be a Hydra."

"Barbara Morse... I don't know much, probably a marginal role."

boom!

A loud noise came from the Stark Building below, and Locke poked his head out from the edge of the dragon's nest, and saw a wisp of green smoke floating from the top of the building, with a burnt smell.

"Lorna, Lorna, go down and see if the Tin Woodman is dead." Locke shouted to Lorna next to him, and a gust of wind picked up the girl and threw her from the dragon's nest.

At this moment, Tony got up from the laboratory with a cough, looked at the new version of the reactor placed on the table with bright eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Old man, I can surpass you now."

As he said that, Tony took down the reactor and implanted it into the new armor. There was an inverted triangle-shaped Ark reactor on the updated armor, which was shining with a faint blue light at the moment.

Lorna came down from the top floor and saw the shirtless Tony Stark. She asked calmly, "Mr. Tony, what happened to you?"

"I, no, child, I am fine now, or nothing is better than now." Tony looked at Lorna in front of him, held his head high, took off a coat and put it on, and said to the girl:

"Come on, kid, let your immature mind see the baptism of new technology."

As he said that, Tony got into the armor, and the golden-red armor closed the mask, and Tony's voice came from it: "This is my new work Mark6, new energy armor, replaced with a new reactor and polymer armor plate, and also Added some ability."

"But it looks the same as before," Lorna tilted her head and said doubtfully, "It's just that the circle on the chest has become an inverted triangle."

"That's because you don't understand atomic physics. The energy source of this armor is no longer the palladium element, nor is it an element created by the old man, but my own innovation."

Tony projected two similar pictures, which are structural diagrams of two new elements: "Compared to the elements created by the old man, my new energy combustion efficiency has increased by three percent."

"But the two pictures look exactly the same"

"It's called micro-innovation, kid."

Chapter 53: Doom's Desire

While Tony Stark was creating his new generation of armor, Reed looked at the satellite images in front of him in the State University of New York's Astrophysics Laboratory and breathed a sigh of relief.

The theme part was designed by Tony and Reid. Dum's detection satellite responsible for the circuit was painted in gold and red. Their satellite will be the highlight of the Stark Industry Expo and rise to the sky under the gaze of countless people.

In a sense, Tony is a very successful businessman. Because the alien craze brought by Locke, the ancient dragon, has intensified, Tony also has the idea of ​​rubbing the heat, in order to let the insects focus away from his armor. Moving on, Tony advertised the satellite beautifully.

According to him, this is another feat of mankind since Armstrong landed on the moon, which means that Stark Industries is no longer an arms company in the past, but a technology giant that leads ordinary people to the future.

It is also because of this that this detection satellite has been changed beyond recognition. It is not so much a satellite as it is a small space station. God knows how Stark Industries processed this thing in just a few dozen days.

At this moment, Reed stared intently at the transmitted photos. The satellite has been sent to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and it will be sent to space with them by the space shuttle in five days.

Reed let out a long breath and moved his body. Not everyone in the laboratory will go to space. Except for Dum who volunteered to stay, there are also a few interns and old professors who will stay in the ground station. Receive information from them.

The candidates for the sky have been decided, there are four people in total: Reed Richards, Susan Stone, Susan's cousin Johnny Stone, and Reed's friend Ben Graham.

This kind of experiment in space always requires young people to do it. After a period of training, Reed is full of confidence in this operation.

"As expected, you're here, aren't you going?" Dum came up and patted his friend on the shoulder. Reed felt his neck was shocked and his body shook.

"Oh, I'm sorry, there's been a lot of static electricity recently." Dum withdrew his hand, rubbed his fingers, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, but Reed shrugged and said with a relaxed expression: "Yeah, after all, it's Thunder now. The times."

In the era of Thunder, this is the media's evaluation of Locke's unprecedented upsurge. After all, this is the first time that a "person" or a dragon has put a road to superpowers in front of everyone.

Some people may hesitate and think that all of this is just a conspiracy of the evil dragon, but in any case, this fanatical atmosphere has begun to affect this pure academic land. When Reed went to dinner today, nine out of ten people were discussing That pale dragon.

Some people have even started to tattoo dragons on their bodies. Various cultural salons are discussing the pale dragon, from the meaning of the cultural symbol of the dragon to the ideology of aliens, and in the dark online world, Certain dragon-related erotic content also began to increase around the same time.

By the way, because Locke has two pairs of wings, many creators of literary and artistic works have begun to modify the image of dragons in their works. Presumably, the image of the ancient dragon with four legs and four wings will be the mainstream for a long time. …

However, this craze has nothing to do with Reed. Maybe he will study why the dragon can emit lightning when he is free, but what he wants to do most at the moment is to fly to space as soon as possible to complete his dream experiment.

Dum looked at everything in the laboratory, with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes, walked to his seat and sat down, and began to read books on electromagnetism. There was a small thing on his desk, it was his The fruit of time.

"You are still studying electromagnetism, are you going to get another Ph.D. in this field?" Reid leaned over and asked, Dum waved his hand, pointed to the gadget made up of coils and semiconductors on the table and said, "It's just a personal one. Just a little interest, I'm working on an electromagnetic gun and want to make some innovations."

"I want to make the structure of this electromagnetic gun as simple as possible, and reduce the use of sensors, preferably only the coil part." Dum rubbed his forehead and said.

Reed glanced at Dum with some surprise: "This is impossible, if you don't use sensors, this thing is an electromagnet."

"I already have some clues..." Dum and Reid chatted about the research during this period, and soon, the two were immersed in it, until Reed was urged to pack his luggage, which ended the exchange .

Dum, who was sitting alone on the chair, opened his palm, and dots of red lightning formed in his palm. The lightning was distorted by his will and turned into a coil.

Dum casually took a paperclip from the table, and under the magnetic field generated by the current, the paperclip flew out of Dum's palm and hovered in the lightning coil.

"Sure enough, this problem still can't be solved, and it can't be retracted freely." Dum sighed, crushed the lightning in his hand, and took out a notebook from his pocket to open it. On it was a complicated magic circle.

Dum was born in a small country in Eastern Europe, his father was a local warlord, and his mother was a gypsy witch. Unlike the white mage who borrowed the power of Visandi, the witch's power mostly came from some hell creatures.

So one day, his mother finally paid the price for her magic, and her soul was taken away by the devil in hell, and never appeared in the world again.

However, the other party still left some things for their children, such as the magic knowledge recorded in Doom's hands, which is the magic circle used by witches, and can find its owner through power.

That night, when the moon was covered by dark clouds, Doom drew a magic circle on the floor of his dormitory. He stood in it, cut his wrist, and dripped blood in the circle.

He wants to contact the master of this power and ask him for more power.

In the next moment, in the haze, Doom saw a city standing in the storm, and a pale ancient dragon stood in the storm, staring at him indifferently.

"Victor Doom, what did you come to see me for?"

Locke looked at Doom in front of him. The other party was not the big villain Doctor Doom, but a young man named Victor Doom.

"Give me more power, I can give you what you want." Dum stretched out his hand, he knew what these outer gods wanted: "Whether it is pain, flesh and blood, or miserable screams, I I would like to give it to you."

Locke grinned, he is not an evil god, what Doom said is not as useful to him as iron, at least iron can be used to make his dessert.

"I don't need those things." Locke was silent for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said, "But I really need you to do something. Come to this position, and you are alone."

The dragon thunder fell, and the link with Gu Long disappeared, leaving Dum alone sitting on the ground with his head covered: "The monster, what would you want me to do?"

Chapter 54: Doom’s job

Dum knew that he was getting impatient, but there was nothing he could do about it. Some time ago, news came from his hometown that the ruler there was terminally ill, and there was not much time left for Dum.

His father was killed by the current ruler of his hometown of Latovilla, and Doom needs more power if he wants to avenge his family.

So on the second day, Dum came to an office building. The glass at the door of the building was printed with a dragon holding a thunder gun. A group of reporters surrounded the building, and their long guns and short cannons were already aimed at the door of the building.

Dum mixed in the crowd, looking at the podium placed at the entrance of the building. After a while, the crowd became restless, and a girl in a platinum witch costume walked up to the podium and said in a childish accent:

"I am the ancient dragon witch, and now I am announcing the following matters to you on behalf of Master Gu Long..."

Lorna's speech was very concise. First, she took out a certificate from Kama Taj, stating that the Thunder Legion is a serious partner of justice. Although few people understand this part, and few people know that Kama Taj What is Ma Taj.

The second is about the selection criteria of the Thunder Corps, adding restrictions on education and talents.

The third piece of news was a bit of a sensation. The Thunder Legion would participate in the Stark Industry Expo and sell some items at the venue.

"Are you talking about involving mutants? Many of them are heinous criminals."

"Does Tony Stark have anything to do with Mr. Gu Long? Is this industrial fair an invitation from him?"

"Do you have anything to say about the attack that day in the square?"

A crowd of reporters asked questions, but Lorna was unmoved. The veil on her face concealed her expression. The young girl stepped off the podium, pushed open the door of the building behind her, and walked towards it. go.

The reporters wanted to go forward, but a green thunderbolt struck and blocked the reporters from the door.

Dum, who watched all this from the sidelines, moved slightly. Compared with the dragon thunder he obtained, the power of the girl is obviously stronger. At this moment, a hand was patted on his shoulder.

Dum turned his head and saw a round-headed Asian. The man looked at Dum's face and immediately grabbed his wrist.

In the next second, a portal appeared at the feet of the two, making them disappear on the street in an instant.

"Mr. Locke, I brought him here." Old Wang cupped his hands at Gu Long in front of him, gave Doom a hand, and then opened the portal to leave.

After the death of Casillas, the current old king was appointed to guard the New York Temple, but even if he became a guardian mage, he could not escape his fate of being used as a teleportation machine by Lokra.

"Victor Doom, we finally met. I thought you would wait a little longer." Locke approached Doom, and Doom was also looking at the dragon. The power on the other side made him startled. , faintly reminded of the demon king who kidnapped his mother.

Locke is actually very satisfied with Doom, a member of the legion. In Locke's vision, a thick red line protruded from Doom's body, linking to Locke's body, which means that his research on Dragon Thunder far surpasses others.

In fact, if Doom wanted to, he could create a new prayer named after him, but he seemed to have other wishes. …

"I need some power, more power." Dum repeated again, Locke curled his lips and said in a low voice: "You are an insatiable guy, but your talent is very good, why don't you continue to study my power, more Learn some magic from your mother's notes?"

"What are you anxious about?" Locke moved closer to Doom, staring at him with his golden eyes: "Is it for revenge, or for love, or, just to catch up with someone?"
