Chapter 1426 Prelude to the Civil War
Shrouded in pitch-black night, the lone moon hangs above the clouds.
In a luxurious location where every inch of land is valuable, stands a hundred-story landmark building that is epoch-making. The entire building uses clean energy from the Stark Group, is completely self-sufficient, and does not produce or emit any emissions. pollute.
The 'L' logo is tilted at an angle and is always bright on the outside of the building. It is clearly visible no matter in the dark weather.
Anyone familiar with it knows that it is the logo of the Avengers.
This building originally belonged to Stark Industries, but was later donated by Tony Stark and transformed into the Avengers headquarters.
In the past, the Avengers would often get together to discuss how to better defend the earth, or hold banquets.
But now...the Avengers building is almost empty.
Not only that, even the always-on Avengers logo turned dim.
On the circular balcony outside the top floor of the building, Tony Stark was left alone, holding a glass filled with expensive red wine, looking down at the brightly lit bustling city, his eyes half-squinted revealing a sense of loneliness.
There was a pile of documents scattered at his feet, with the words 'Sokovia Accords' written on them.
These documents were torn into pieces and scattered like falling snow.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came from behind.
"It's so late and you're still drinking alone outside. Could it be that you can't let go of your so-called 'comradeship'? Sir Mordred." A hoarse voice slowly sounded from behind along with the approaching footsteps.
"Are you kidding me? Lancelot."
The loneliness in Tony's eyes turned into coldness in an instant, and he turned around and sneered: "Comradeship? From the beginning, we didn't have such a thing. I was just thinking about what to do next."
Lancelot is very cautious, always in the dark shadow, so that people can't see his appearance clearly.
But Tony could clearly feel that the other person's gaze was like a sharp knife, cutting him open bit by bit from the inside out, observing carefully, trying to find flaws.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
At this moment, Tony was extremely grateful for the big heart he had developed while living among flowers, and his ability to lie without changing his face.
To some extent, he may be better than those agents in this skill.
From the heartbeat, to the sweat secretion, to the eyes, down to the slight upward angle of the corners of the lips, they are all the result of his hard work.
After examining him for a long time, the other party found nothing and could only withdraw his sharp gaze.
Tony couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and still said coldly on his face: "What's the matter with you coming to me?"
"I'm here to convey to you the mission my king has given you."
Lancelot's voice was deep and strange, and it was obviously specially processed.
"Task?"
Tony frowned slightly, an ominous premonition welling up in his heart.
"Yes, it is the character that my king specially asked me to give you to complete." Lancelot waved his hand, and a cold light suddenly appeared in the dark night, passing through the air at high speed, wiping Tony's body and inserting into the tiles next to him. Medium: "Destroy the Avengers at all costs!"
"Destroy...the Avengers?!"
Even though Tony tried hard to control it, he still couldn't help but look shocked.
"Yes, your mission is to destroy the Avengers."
Lancelot nodded and said calmly: "The day of prophecy is getting closer and closer. In order to revive our clan, you must get rid of those who hinder us. This is the responsibility you should bear."
"Isn't it too hasty to do it now?" Tony tried to control himself and asked in a calm tone.
"Why, looking at Sir Mordred, could it be that you can't bear to part with him?" Lancelot sneered and said sarcastically.
"No, I'm just a little surprised."
Tony said expressionlessly: "After all, with the Avengers here, we can take advantage of their power and clear away some difficult obstacles. Anyone would feel sad if such a useful tool is lost, Lancelot."
"A tool...hehe, that sounds like your answer."
Lancelot chuckled, and then said: "Don't worry, the prophesied day is coming soon. We no longer need the power of the Avengers, so it is better to eliminate them as soon as possible."
"I understand, but I need your help on this matter."
Tony did not hesitate at all and said directly: "It is best to be someone with fighting ability, otherwise it will be difficult for me to completely disintegrate and eliminate the Avengers in a short period of time with my own strength."
"You will get what you want, Lord Mordred."
Lancelot retreated slowly, his figure hidden in the darkness, and his voice gradually drifted away: "Soon, a 'Knight of the Round Table' will appear. He will assist you in secret and complete the mission together."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared completely.
"Friday!"
Tony suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Bring up the surveillance camera and find him for me!"
However, a moment later, Friday replied: "I'm sorry, sir, just for a moment, there was an error in my database. There is no monitoring record. The other party seems to have left the building."
left......
Tony frowned deeply. The speed of the other party's departure was a bit beyond his expectation.
Even if you jump from a hundred-story building, it will take a few seconds.
But the other party magically disappeared into the building, and the interval was less than a second.
"Who is Lancelot...?" Countless people flashed through Tony's mind, and he rejected them one by one. His frown deepened, and a look of solemnity appeared in his eyes: "These guys. .....It’s more difficult than I thought.”
There is no record of anyone with similar superpowers in the Avengers database.
In other words... the other party is a superpower who is not in the database at all, hidden and suddenly replaced and copied.
This situation is the most troublesome because there is no way to investigate it.
"Help? Hum... That's nice to say."
Recalling Lancelot's words before leaving, Tony couldn't help but sneer on his face: "You are obviously still doubting me, so you sent someone here specially to monitor my actions."
After a while, he turned around and walked towards the place where he had just thrown, bending down to pick up what Lancelot had thrown.
Those were the coordinates of an address and the target person to kill first.
"Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Nick Fury, Frank Castle..."
After softly reading the name on the piece of paper, Tony's lips curved, and he immediately crushed the piece of paper and threw it on the ground, saying to himself: "I want to thank you for eliminating several wrong options for me."
Now, his goal is almost certain.
Use this opportunity to eliminate all the lurking Skrulls within the Avengers in one fell swoop!
...
...
...
In the shadows, under the moonlight.
A white figure flashed forward quickly on the building.
The white cloak was swaying in the howling wind. With the bright moonlight shining on the clouds, the strange man in white was wrapped like a bandage and looked back at the hundred-story Avengers Tower.
On his forehead, a mark of the moon seemed to be glowing.
"Tony Stark...let me see whose side you are on."
After leaving a dull word, the strange man in white threw himself into the shadows and disappeared like a ghost.
