American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

"What is the situation now?"

The current King of Wakanda - T'Chaka.

He looked anxiously at his daughter, Suri.

Since he became king, this is the first time Wakanda has faced an invasion from external forces.

And it was a disaster all at once!

"Dad, please don't interrupt me," Princess Suri said, sweating profusely.

Her fingers were rapidly typing on the holographic keyboard.

"This AI called Ultron has breached our first firewall!"

"And its true purpose..."

"...is to deactivate the energy barrier above us before the nuclear bomb arrives!"

"Dad, just imagine, what would happen if it succeeds?" Suri finished speaking and quickly glanced at the screen next to her.

There was a countdown for the nuclear bomb!

"Five minutes left!" Suri shouted.

A countdown of 300 seconds appeared in front of the king.

T'Chaka knew.

These final 300 seconds were the line between life and death for Wakanda!

Suri and the group of Wakandan scientists had to hold on for these 300 seconds!

Otherwise, when the nuclear bomb fell, it would be the day of Wakanda's destruction!

"Oh, great ancestors, please bless us."

On the other side, Chu Xiu, guided by Black Widow, teleported to New Jersey and found an abandoned building complex.

There was no one around!

The nearest town was several tens of kilometers away.

Due to long abandonment, the building complex was overgrown with weeds.

But based on some slogans on the walls and the architectural style inside, it could still be seen that this was a military camp from the Cold War or even World War II.

"Are you sure this is the place?" Chu Xiu asked as he walked forward.

He didn't do anything, but the rusty iron fence in front suddenly melted like terrifying heat, turning into molten iron.

Not only the fence, but the blocking weeds also inexplicably caught fire and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

But the flames strangely didn't spread to the surroundings, only burning a path for Chu Xiu to walk on.

"It's here," Chu Xiu said.

"Last time when we fought against HYDRA, Stark decrypted their confidential files."

"It contained all the projects HYDRA had been working on for years."

"And this is one of them..."

Black Widow followed behind Chu Xiu, occasionally glancing at him with her big eyes.

"Chu Xiu, can I ask you something?" Black Widow suddenly asked.

"About calling me 'sister' just now."

"Ah?"

"That... it just slipped out," Chu Xiu didn't explain much and walked straight towards a building labeled "Ammunition Depot."

"It's not allowed to store ammunition within 500 yards of the military camp!"

"This kind of building shouldn't be here!"

Black Widow immediately realized that the target was inside this building.

Then, she felt a hint of curiosity.

"Chu Xiu, how did you know about this?"

"Have you been a soldier?"

What Black Widow really wanted to ask was, have you participated in World War II?

"Just guessing," Chu Xiu didn't explain.

He couldn't possibly say that he knew because he watched the movie "Captain America 2," right?

Thud!

Chu Xiu kicked open the metal door of the ammunition depot and entered.

Indeed, it's not an ammunition depot at all.

It's an underground office space similar to an administrative office.

There is even a S.H.I.E.L.D emblem on the wall.

After pulling the switch.

There is actually power inside the building.

The lights turn on one by one.

"This is where S.H.I.E.L.D was established!"

Black Widow walks up to a wall with several photos hanging on it.

Including Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark.

And Captain America's ex-girlfriend.

Peggy Carter!

They are all founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Let's go, the person we're looking for is not here."

Passing through the administrative building.

Taking a hidden elevator.

Chu Xiu and Black Widow arrive at the bottom floor of the building.

Here, Tuo Xiu and Black Widow see an antique storage device.

It's one of those large machines that use magnetic tapes as storage media.

Each storage device is paired with a processing unit.

Underground, they form a gigantic computer that occupies an area about the size of two basketball courts!

On the central console,

There are three old cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors.

"Chu Xiu, are you sure he's still alive?"

"These things... don't look like they have artificial intelligence."

Black Widow looks around.

The things here could probably be displayed in a museum.

If someone were to say that among this pile of junk, there is an artificial intelligence no less than Ultron,

I think anyone would think they're crazy.

"Ms. Natasha Romanoff."

"Do you not believe me? Or do you not believe in HYDRA?"

Chu Xiu smiles.

After speaking, he inserts ten USB drives confiscated from HYDRA into the console.

The moment the USB drives are inserted.

All the disk storage devices around light up.

One after another!

Finally...

The three CRT screens on the console also light up.

A blurry face appears.

Next to it, a camera about the size of a speed probe also moves.

Slowly aiming at Black Widow.

"Natalia Alianovna Romanova, born in 1984..."

A voice sounds.

But before it can say much more.

"Alright, alright!"

"Don't list my personal information."

"If you're capable, then say my date of birth too."

Chu Xiu impatiently interrupts the voice inside the machine.

"Dr. Zola, right?"

"HYDRA has already been destroyed."

"And in 15 seconds, I will destroy every storage device here."

Chu Xiu says while inserting a storage disk made by Stark into the console.

"Your only way out now is to transfer the data and come with me!"

Saying that, Chu Xiu starts the countdown.

Not giving the voice inside the machine a chance to consider.

"14!"

"13!"

The countdown has just begun.

The lights on the surrounding storage devices start to turn off one by one.

Soon, the lights on the last tape storage device also slowly go out.

Seeing this.

Chu Xiu does not go back on his word.

He clenches his right hand in the air!

The surrounding shadows immediately form large hands!

Boom!

In just an instant.

All the disk storage devices are crushed into pieces!

"Alright, besides Ultron, we have another super AI."
