Chapter 196 The Avengers in the Arctic (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month!)
Jan Mayen Island, northern Norway.
Amidst a blanket of white snow, the Avengers arrived at this small island inhabited only by polar bears and a weather station and navigation station. Apart from the Human Torch, the Thing, and the Hulk, almost everyone was bundled up tightly.
"Hahaha, take this! Benjamin!"
"You can't hit me, big guy!"
The world's two most iconic heroes, Hulk and Thing, are fighting, or rather playing, on this small island less than 400 square kilometers in size. In this uninhabited area, their playful antics are at most a way to keep warm, and they don't need to worry about anyone getting hurt—the only one who might get hurt is the polar bear.
"Peter must be so envious of us being able to come to the Arctic," Janet said, wrapped in a thick down jacket. The weather today was quite nice for the Arctic; instead of a blizzard, it was a bright and sunny day with not a cloud in the sky. Everything was perfect, and in the distance, there were polar bears that didn't look too scary.
And her boyfriend who studies polar bear feces.
Janet's happy face immediately fell.
"I just can't understand why Hank connects everything he sees to science. If I were bold enough to touch a polar bear's head, I could try, but polar bear poop? Ugh..."
“Sometimes you have to be patient with them, Jane.” Standing next to her was the Invisible Woman, Susan, who was now wrapped in a thick down jacket over her suit. “These big boys are like that; they feel restless if they’re not in their lab for even a minute. They always need something to study to distract themselves.”
Janet shrugged helplessly, then asked curiously, "You're all out this time, what about the children? Franklin is only two years old, right? Little Vaughan was just born. Do you have anyone you trust to help take care of the children?"
"Dum will help us take care of the children."
Susan uttered something that utterly shocked Janet. Janet stared at Susan in disbelief, and after a long pause, she couldn't help but ask, "Victor von Doom? Isn't he a bad person?"
"Yes, back when he was still in America. Things are much better now... or maybe not." Susan wasn't quite sure how to explain Doom's situation, so she gave a general overview: "Well, Doom used to think he was the only one qualified to lead the world, so he did a lot of things to try and rule it..."
Janet nodded in sudden realization: "He's figured it out now?"
"No, he said he realized that the world is not yet qualified to be led by him, so he returned to his homeland Latvia, intending to turn Latvia into the most powerful country in the world, and then wait for the world to realize that he is the one qualified to lead the world, and then accept his leadership."
Isn't he just a psychopathic villain?
"But it's true, our relationship has improved a lot now. He even named Valea, and he's Valea's godfather. So I don't think it's a problem to hand her over to him..."
Janet looked at Susan with a hint of speechlessness. She couldn't understand the relationship between the Fantastic Four and Doom at all, and the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Tony, who was waiting for the S.H.I.E.L.D. submarine in the distance, wasn't wearing thick clothing. Since the Battle of New York, he had almost always been locked in his armor. At this moment, he had only opened his visor and jokingly said to the captain, "Do you miss this place, Captain? The sleeper berth you've slept in for almost seventy years isn't far from here."
"It's hard to say, I have almost no memory of it."
As the captain spoke, he looked up at the old-fashioned aircraft carrier flying towards them: "Fury is here."
At this very moment, on the airborne aircraft carrier.
"We've arrived, Coulson. Has the destruction procedure been initiated? Good. Spider-Man's blood sample needs to be destroyed quickly. Everyone watching the destruction? Excellent." After giving Coulson instructions on destroying Spider-Man's blood sample through the earpiece, Fury directed the airship to slowly descend into the water. Stark's new aircraft carrier designed for Project Insight had not yet been put into service, so Fury was still using the old carrier.
Of course, this is not the Aegis carrier that Hawkeye destroyed single-handedly; that old thing has long been completely scrapped and is probably lying in some shipyard somewhere.
"Clint, how's our amazing friend's preparation going?"
"He's incredibly passionate; you couldn't find a hotter man on Earth than that kid." Hawkeye shrugged helplessly, then asked with a hint of concern, "But is it really a good idea?"
"What are you referring to, Agent Patton?"
"Bringing a human-shaped sun to a frozen evil god is not a good idea, sir."
Hawkeye pointed out, "Perhaps we're looking for him because the enemy is afraid of fire, but that doesn't mean they don't want to thaw out."
"That's why I made them stand by, to prepare the aircraft carrier to dock."
This is a trap. Not only Spider-Man's side, but Nick Fury also came to the same conclusion: it's a conspiracy by the symbiotes to resurrect the Symbiote God. After communicating with Peter, Nick Fury gathered the brightest minds on Earth: Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Hank Pym, and Bruce Banner (currently the Hulk), hoping they could find a way to permanently imprison the symbiote dragon.
Since Jan Mayen Island lacks a pier for large aircraft carriers, docking was quite a challenge, and it took Nick Fury considerable effort to finally bring the carrier to a stop. Then they prepared to welcome the scientists.
"I hope you've already located our target, Fury."
The latest novel is first published here!
"That's exactly right, Dr. Richards, which is why I've gathered you all here."
As Nick Fury spoke, he pulled up an analysis image on the Aegis carrier: "According to the analysis, the symbiote exists 200 meters below the glacier, in a permafrost layer, so I need the Avengers' help to break through the ice."
Tony nodded matter-of-factly, adding, "So you don't have to do anything, just wait for us to haul the stuff out for you, and S.H.I.E.L.D. can take over everything? Fury, you're having it so easy as director."
"I have to do the hardest work, Stark. None of you can do this, so stop joking around."
"What's the most troublesome thing? Tell me!"
Nick Fury looked at Stark with his one eye and smiled.
"Environmental organizations dealing with protests."
