Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

Chapter 208 Preparing for War!

While things have temporarily come to a close over there, the Hero Squad is finding things a bit more difficult.

Fortunately, everyone escaped, and because Hyperion had been tricked, he was furious and recklessly propelled the flashing tail flames in the sky, speeding away into the distance.

As a veteran pilot and a legendary captain, how could Star-Lord make such a basic mistake?

The trailing flames left in the clouds were merely a smokescreen he had created beforehand.

As for their true selves, they had already returned in their spaceship and reunited with Black Panther and his group who had previously been scattered.

After all, Black Panther and Blade also had communication signals, and these were even an inter-universe connection personally set up by Lucurgos; they just weren't used normally.

It's too far to be of any help, but nowadays it's a piece of cake to find someone.

"Ah, little spider, long time no see."

"Are you all alright?"

"You guys are really something, where did you get this spaceship from?"

"Shang Qi!"

The old friends greeted each other one by one, and Star-Lord and the others also saw their old friends. Hawkeye was the only one they recognized. However, the two white-haired old men looked at each other with some emotion.

"What's happening in the universe?"

Hawkeye tossed him a cigarette, and Star-Lord, without any hesitation, lit it up.

The two old men began exchanging information and their opinions on the group of young heroes from outside the country beside them.

"The universe is in chaos too. The three great empires have collapsed. The God of Darkness—oh, that is, Galactus—is devouring everything in his path, and we suspect they have their eyes on Earth. I came to Earth on a mission before this."

"What kind of mission is it?"

"A cosmic artifact has been found inside the Baxter Building, which is—"

"New Babylon".

Or rather, New York.

The addition of Blade and Black Panther has essentially set the tone for this plan, something Hawkeye hasn't quite grasped yet.

"Wait, we definitely have to go to that awful place, after all, we still need to find Red Skull."

But what are we looking for there? A time machine? To go back in time and change everything?

"No. We won't change anything from the past, because that would make us a complete mess now. But we can take something back from there, something that's been lost for a long time."

Hawkeye's mouth twitched, but he showed no fear, only disbelief.

He certainly knew what they were probably looking for; after all, that thing was quite famous, and he himself had once been a captain in the Avengers.

"That thing is too dangerous. Don't tell me you're going to use it against Red Skull. I think our current strength is more than enough."

He knew about the Ultimate Eraser, but he didn't like it.

How so?

This thing mainly relies on the user's mental strength and imagination to bind to it. If you can't use it completely, you can't eliminate enemies properly.

On the contrary, this thing can be used by anyone, or rather, by any object.

If the other side gets hold of it, it seems they won't have the upper hand.

This thing is so destructive that it can easily disrupt their original balance.

"We must find this thing, otherwise, once the planet devourer comes to Earth, we will have no chance at all!"

Think about it, Hawkeye, we're not facing a petty skirmish on Earth, we're facing the entire universe.

"The universe? You're talking about the universe now? What was the universe doing when Earth was destroyed?"

"We helped you so much back then, and now that we're in danger, after sending so many messages, we haven't seen a single one."

Hawkeye was already furious that his home was in such a mess. As he said, the Avengers' fame wasn't just on Earth, but also in the universe.

They had fought in the Constructors' War, the Annihilation of the Zerg, and other similar wars—all cosmic-scale catastrophes—and they went to help!

How sweet their words were back then! They said things like, "You're the savior! You're a great man!"

And what happened? And what happened? When trouble broke out on Earth, they sent messages into space, but no one came.

Now, as soon as they arrive here, they're told to do things for the universe, for the world, and so on.

sounds so good.

"We encountered many difficulties at that time."

Star-Lord had a lot to say, but after learning about the devastation on Earth, they couldn't bring themselves to speak.

He felt that the problems on Earth might be more serious than those on his own planet. Fortunately, Sparta was destroyed in one fell swoop, unlike Earth, which had been in constant turmoil.

They both understood each other's difficulties, so the two old men both lowered their heads in unison.

"Alright, you guys tell me, how do we do it? I just hope that in the end we can send all the damn things to hell and never let them come out again."

Getting back to the main point, after all, we're all superheroes, the kind who keep going even when they get old. So Hawkeye understands things very well, it's just that everyone's getting angry.

Hawkeye understood, and Star-Lord understood too.

Star-Lord was simply feeling refreshed because his teammates had been resurrected.

But he was also saddened when he thought of his family and children.

"That building has already been sealed off, after all, there is an unstable time mechanism inside, and there is a high possibility that something might go wrong."

Unless we engage Red Skull in direct combat, there's no way we can get in.

Black Panther and Hawkeye stared at the digital map Hawkeye had created, which was remarkably clear. At least to them, it looked almost identical to their impression of New York, except that some areas had been destroyed and disappeared. Faced with their doubts, Star-Lord puffed out his chest proudly.

"As the only team in the universe that is still willing to practice the way of heroes during this period, I have long been prepared."

"What's so great about Neo-Babylon? Give me some time, and I'll dig out even Red Skull's underwear!"

Although there are too many flaws in this statement—I wonder which sentence is too crude?

And what do we need the Red Skull underwear for?

Forget about that for now, let's focus on how to get inside the Baxter Building.

"We don't know exactly what Red Skull's power is like."

At least that superhuman named Hyperion is far beyond what we can normally resist, and we don't know how many tricks he has up his sleeve.

Fortunately, our biggest advantage right now is that they don't know what kind of allies we have.

so--"

As a former tactical mastermind, Hawkeye quickly came up with a very ordinary proposal, but precisely because it was ordinary, no one could have come up with it.

"A feint attack to the east while striking in the west, luring the snake out of its hole. We can send a group of people to launch a frontal assault as a pretext to attract their attention, and then send a small group to travel back in time to retrieve the item, delivering the final blow."

Theoretically speaking, because of the time travel mechanism, we could travel to the previous second and return to the next second without wasting any time.

But this requires ensuring we can truly return.

Black Panther spoke cautiously, after all, he hadn't really dealt with time travel much, it was all just their speculation.

"Let Star-Lord go in. I'm already on Red Skull's blacklist, they're definitely not going to let me off the hook. Never mind all that, we're going to have to fight eventually, so let's just say we'll fight it out."

Hawkeye lowered his head, combing the arrows in his hands. This was his perspective on life at this moment; either... Either die.

But as the conversation progressed to this point, Blade became somewhat curious.

"Where is Thor? Where is he? If he's here, we can dispel all our doubts."

Upon hearing the name Thor, Star-Lord also cast a hopeful glance his way.

But I really didn't expect that one of these outsiders would be Thor. Why bother fighting? Let's just charge in and be done with it.

"He has some issues on his mind and can't concentrate."

But we can still win; after all, Hanlu left me some backup forces.

Black Panther revealed his left hand and removed the Black Panther armor, revealing a strange red stripe on his arm.

If I had to describe it, it would look a bit like a half-open hedgehog arc with a sword running through the middle.

I was in such a rush that I forgot about this, but it's okay, it's fine now.
