American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

On the helicopter, Ashley was already scared out of her mind.

She stared blankly at the news on the tablet, her whole body trembling constantly. She never imagined that things would turn into what they are now. Are all those superpowers crazy?

This helicopter was deliberately arranged by Edgar. It is also a small private helicopter that he uses for daily travel. It is famous for its speed. The entire helicopter has only three seats. Except for the pilot at the front, only Edgar is left. And Ashley.

Unlike Ashley who was already frightened, Edgar was more calm at this time. He closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be thinking about his next plan.

"They have started a melee. Not only the Watt Towers, but almost the whole country is in chaos. I'm afraid all the superpowers have joined the fight."

Ashley reported the situation with a trembling voice. At the same time, she was also impressed by Edgar's foresight.

Fortunately, Edgar had prepared the helicopter in advance and successfully took off before the war started. Otherwise, if she had stayed in the Water Tower, Ashley would not have dared to imagine what kind of tragic end she would encounter.

You know, half a year ago she was an assistant serving tea and water to the locomotive. Now she is lucky enough to be able to climb to this position. This is the first time she has experienced the feeling of the upper class, but this is the first time she has been in such a dangerous situation.

"Don't worry, the more lively they fight, the better. Congress and the military will not sit idly by. After they fight to the death, those guys can naturally get rid of all the inferior products in one pot."

Edgar opened his eyes slightly and spoke calmly.

"Inferior product?" Ashley didn't understand what Edgar meant.

"Yeah, inferior product." Edgar smiled slightly. "Whether it's the people of the motherland or the soldier boys, they are just one of the works of superhuman experiments. The vast majority of superhumans are inferior products and cannot stand on any stage."

The conversation changed and Edgar continued.

"However, the development of things this time is not bad. This superhuman war will allow the military and Congress to see their true power. I think with this destructive power, they will consider fighting against the Vought Group. cooperating."

Ashley was a little numb at this time. She never expected that at this time, Edgar was still thinking about cooperating with the military.

You know, the world is basically in chaos now. From their high-altitude perspective, black smoke is rising from every street in New York, and the sounds of killing and explosions are endless.

God knows how many innocent people will die in this war. Ashley stared at Edgar blankly, feeling that the other man was like a demon without mercy.

As if aware of Ashley's thoughts, Edgar tilted his head. "Why, do you think what I said is wrong? Please, I did not initiate this war. If you really want to blame, you should go to the soldier boy and those evil forces."

An evil force?

The boundary between good and evil is sometimes really blurry.

When everyone thinks that their side is righteous, who will think about which side is evil? Maybe they are all righteous, or maybe everyone is evil.

"Thanks to Soldier Boy, people all over the world have now seen the power of superheroes. This is a breakthrough across the ages and a change in the new century. The seeds have been planted, and everyone will look forward to the arrival of superhumans."

Edgar leaned back gently on the chair, smiled and said.

"We can't stop anymore. From today on, the whole world will begin to study superhuman beings and try to crack the secret of Compound No. 5. At that time, it will be our best era."

"What about the Walter Group?" Ashley couldn't help but ask.

"Walter Group?"

Edgar curled his lips and said calmly.

"Destroy a Vought, and a new Vought will be rebuilt. That's fine. Vought Group itself is a pharmaceutical company. It should have been destroyed long ago. This reconstruction will make Vought stronger than ever. .”

Rebuilding a Vought Group stronger than ever.

Listening to Edgar's calm tone, Ashley's original fear gradually calmed down. Seeing Edgar's confident look, Ashley slowly smiled.

If the big boss doesn't even have any fear, then there is no need for him to be afraid.

Ashley even began to think about the situation in which she would take over as the CEO of Walter Group in the future, which was her dream position.

At this moment, the helicopter jolted violently, and then the pilot sitting in front let out a exclamation.

"Mr. Edgar, look ahead!"

Hearing this, Edgar's expression changed slightly as he grabbed the seat, but he still stuck out his head and looked forward through the helicopter's glass.

Directly in front of their helicopter, a man covered in flames was seen hovering in mid-air, seemingly waiting for them here on purpose.

"Lamplighter!?"

With just one glance, Edgar recognized the other person's identity.

I originally thought that the opponent had died in the Sage Grove Lunatic Asylum with Stormfront, but I didn't expect that he survived and was able to explode with such terrifying combat power.

Looking at the figure wearing pale golden armor and hovering in the air with flames coming out of his hands, Edgar's eyelids began to twitch for some unknown reason.

"Lamplighter, why is he here?" Obviously, Ashley hasn't reacted yet.

In other words, Ashley has not yet entered the core senior management of the Walter Group at this time. There are many things that she does not have the right to know, so she does not know the whereabouts of the lamplighter.

"Sir, is he one of ours, right?" The driver also asked a question, because he always had a bad feeling when he looked at the appearance of the lamplighter.

"he"

Edgar opened his mouth, and at this moment, his calm heart finally began to tremble.

His eyes were full of doubts and confusion, and at the same time, his heart sank into the trough, and there was also a sense of uneasiness that the situation was beyond his control.

Naturally, the lamplighter had no idea what was going on inside the helicopter. In mid-air, after confirming that it was indeed Edgar who was riding in the plane, he couldn't help but sneer.

At this time, the lamplighter was wearing the high-temperature-proof armor that Zhang Yi had prepared for him. He had Magneto's ability card, and it was not difficult to manipulate magnetism to 'pinch' a piece of clothing out of special metal for him.

After all, Magneto made his own helmet.

However, metal is metal after all, and it is still a bit uncomfortable to wear on the body, especially the lower part of the lamplighter. It can no longer be said to be uncomfortable, it is simply indescribable.

But at this moment, being able to get to know Edgar personally, the lamplighter was still very excited. He didn't care whether the other party could hear his voice, so he murmured slowly.

"You have ruined my life, and you have ruined my family."

Raging flames burst out from the hands of the lamplighter.

"You forced this curse on me without even getting my consent."

Gritting his teeth, the lamplighter's eyes burst into golden light.

"I just want my dad to be proud of me"

His lips trembled slightly.

"Now."

The lamplighter exploded with all his strength, and his hands suddenly spurted out terrifying flames that were like the breath of a fire dragon.

"It's time you repaid me for my childhood!"

Facing the incoming flames, everyone in the helicopter had no time to react. Each of their faces had an expression of despair, even Edgar's face was pale.

The destructive flames forcibly broke through the wind pressure of the propeller, engulfed the entire helicopter, and exploded, turning it into a firework in the sky.

Looking at the result of his attack and the falling wreckage of the plane, the lamplighter let out a deep breath.

His mission has been completed. Next, it depends on the adult.

Unknown location, inside the Vought Group community.

Staring at the scene on the TV screen that was like purgatory on earth, Bejia exclaimed and covered her mouth, looking at the picture in disbelief.

The originally peaceful world has been shrouded in war, and everyone is in extreme danger.

In less than half an hour, the economic losses in various states have reached staggering billions, including countless casualties.

Every second, countless sounds pass through the war.

Bega could not imagine how serious the situation would be next.

"Is this what you want!?"

She turned her head and looked at the extremely calm Zhang Yi, feeling that it was a little difficult to breathe.

"Look at those people, those people are all innocent. You wanted to solve the Walter Group, and now you succeeded, but have you ever thought about how many people will die if you do this!"

"But it's worth it, right?" Zhang Yi picked up the cup and took a sip.

"You are a devil!"

Bejia took out a small pistol from behind and aimed it at Zhang Yi's head emotionally.

After noticing the other party's movements, Zhang Yi didn't take it to heart. Both of them knew that the gun was no different from a toy in front of Zhang Yi.

"You know, Bejia, I have met a lot of unreasonable people. I understand your thoughts, but you should understand that the war cannot be stopped after it has started. I just want to teach the world a lesson."

"Teach a lesson?" Bejia's hand holding the gun trembled slightly.

"Yes, let everyone here learn a lesson. You only see the innocent people, but you cannot see the innocent universe."

With a faint sigh, Zhang Yi raised his head again and smiled faintly at Beijia.

"Besides, if I were you, you shouldn't continue to point a gun at a being you can't defeat."

"You should go see your children instead."
