Overlords in the Marvel Universe

"Ms. Parker, may I ask how old you are this year?" Tara Tam suddenly asked.

"I'm the same age as Damons and his brothers." There was a little pride in Mei's voice.

"!" X2

"Deal, since you said you are a superhero, I think we can use you as a 'bait'." Howard Duck said of his plan, "It should be safe, after all, that villain will only let action Inconvenient old people come to be its pickpockets."

"Come on, Aunt Mei, let's catch this *^%* bastard!"

"Don't speak dirty."

……

The next day, on the street at dusk, a "little old man" leaning on a walking stick was walking slowly while holding his waist.

"Now that the tax on cereal is really too high, the tax on vitamins is too high, why don't my grandchildren come to see me more often? Where am I now?" Howard Duck trying to put himself into the role of the elderly , this superb acting skills come from his experience as an actor.

"This is Robert Downey Jr., and I'm already in place." Howard Duck took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, and whispered cautiously.

"I said...is it really necessary?" Tara Tam, who was standing next to Howard the Duck, showed off her new attire.

"Hey! Sister Tara, you should take cover a block away." Howard looked at his assistant in puzzlement, "Also, what's the matter with your outfit?"

"It's Aunt May's advice on dressing for me." Tara Tam said proudly, "It will make me look mature and super elegant."

"Well, you do look super~ super sexy." Howard blamed the duck perfunctorily for a compliment, after all, to a duck, humans all look alike.

"Little Downey, I was robbed just now, come here!" May's voice came from the other end of the intercom.

"Hey! Are you okay? Aunt May!" Howard Duck and Tara Tam rushed over quickly, and they were relieved to see that May was safe and sound.

"Don't worry, remember what I said? I'm a superhero," May said with a smile.

"Okay, Ms. Hero." Howard Duck shrugged, "Where did the gangster go?"

"It's... over there." Mei pointed to a shambling figure not far away, "He's 'running away', okay..."

It was a short old man about the height of Howard Duck, who could only hobble forward with a walker.

"Follow him." Howard called to his assistant and Mei.

Two hours later, the three of them followed the little old man to an abandoned warehouse. If nothing unexpected, this is the hiding place of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"It looks like we should be here." Hiding outside the gate of the abandoned warehouse, Howard the Duck gently opened the door to observe the situation inside, "Aunt Mei, you are guarding outside, and if we need backup, we are always ready to call the police , but I think we should be able to deal with a dozen (da, two beeps) of old men and women."

In the empty hall in the middle of the abandoned warehouse, dozens of elderly people are resting on simple spring beds, and not far from the beds of these elderly people, a middle-aged man dressed as a circus magician is sitting on the sofa Hundreds are bored watching TV programs.

"The circus master?!" Howard the Duck screamed.

"Howard?" The circus master who was attracted by the voice naturally saw Howard's strange duck, "Damn it, Melvin, I knew it was a mistake to let you go out to work!"

"Do you know this clown?" Tara Tam asked Howard the Duck curiously, pointing at the circus master.

"Yes, this bastard once coerced me into joining his 'crime circus'. He used that stupid hat to hypnotize others, and then took money from other people's pockets." Howard Duck said angrily.

"But look at your miserable state now, what's wrong? The circus dumped you?" Howard the Duck immediately put on a mocking expression.

"The circus has long been disbanded." The circus master said with a look of lovelessness on his face. "Health rights, and protests from those fed-up animal lovers, everything is against us. "

"I once tried to rebuild my circus under a different name in Las Vegas, but before I could make any money, the casino there had already squeezed me out." The circus master had a disillusioned expression on his face, "So I started to ask myself 'why', why do you always want to make a big splash? Do something big? Why not do something simple?"

"All I need is a TV. I have hundreds of TV channels, and those old men and women can bring me back a lot of money. It's such a wonderful life."

"But now you're here, Howard." The pattern on the circus master's hat began to rotate slowly, "You're like all the ducks, waddling into my life, trying to destroy the only thing I have, I will never allow you to do this!"

"Army of the Elders! Attack!"

Chapter 161 Infinite Gems?

"Kill them, my Golden Legion!" The circus master laughed with a confident tone, "Whoever can wring that duck's head off and give it to me will be free to watch TV for two hours. "

"Of course, no sports channels."

"Ahhh! Tara, go find the necklace!" Howard the Duck didn't dare to make a move at all, these old people couldn't bump into each other, "Don't look at that guy, he will hypnotize you!"

"Oh, I know." Tara Tam moved cautiously among the crowd, bumping into the old man or old lady next to her from time to time, "Uh, sorry, sorry."

"Hey, what expression should I use at this time?" Mei walked behind the circus master, and then directly KO'd him with a punch.

Mei raised her right hand and waved it in the air, and those hypnotized old people fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. "Now, I think we have time to find the necklace slowly."

"Wow, I thought you were joking before..." Howard the Duck didn't show much surprise. He's seen a lot of superheroes. "Are you really a superhero? What is your superpower? Put people into a deep sleep?"

May shrugged and did not explain too much on this issue.

"Oh... the necklace is here, I found it!" Tara Tam found the necklace from a box next to it.

"Great!" Howard the Duck excitedly accepted the necklace handed over by Tara Tam.

"This necklace is a bit strange..." Mei stared at the necklace in Howard's strange hand with some doubts. The gems on it gave her a familiar feeling.

Just when Howard Duck was relieved, a figure suddenly pushed open the door of the abandoned warehouse.

"...Mr. Morty? Why are you here?" Seeing his employer suddenly appearing in the abandoned warehouse, Howard the Duck looked a little surprised.

Morty walked up to Howard the Duck in silence, and then roughly snatched the necklace from its hand.

"Hey! Wait a minute, sir." Howard Duck quickly waved his hands and said, "We have to seriously talk about my compensation, you know I'm a hired hero, and besides that, we have to wait for the police to arrive at the scene..."

"No, I don't need you anymore, Duck!" Morty slapped Howard Duck directly, knocking it to the ground, "Soon, I won't need any more..."

"You have to apologize to my friend! Old man!" Tara Tam jumped on Morty's back, trying to lock his body, but Morty elbowed him in the lower abdomen.

"Hey! Damn it!" Howard the Duck immediately ran over to help Tara Tam up, and then protected his assistant behind him.

"You're an idiot, Duck." Morty's grin gradually spread across his face, as the skin on his face began to peel off in pieces, "Although you're smart enough as a detective to help me find the necklace, But you don't realize who you're working for..."

In the surprised eyes of Howard Duck, Morty tore off his disguise, revealing his original green skin and the washboard chin of Thanos.

"I will be the future ruler of the fighting world, Wild Talos!"

"Who is this?" Mei asked curiously, pointing at the green-skinned alien in front of her.

"He's a Skrull!" Howard the Duck was furious, "and I hate Skrulls!"

"Hehehe..." Talos suddenly smiled sullenly, "Unlike my fellow Skrulls, I can't change shape, so those people exclude me, but I will prove to the empire soon value, as long as I retrieve the last 'Gem of Abundance', I will become a priceless treasure..."

In May and Howard's speechless expressions, Talos suddenly started chattering like those "super villains", explaining his origin, name, purpose, and evil plan clearly.

"You want to renege on my commission!" Howard said angrily, shaking his fist.

"Don't worry, Howard." Mei rubbed Howard's furry head, "I will get your commission back for you."

"what?"

"I don't care who you are, where you come from and what purpose you have." Mei slowly walked in front of Talos, "Don't always think about making trouble in Manhattan, the super villains here are already saturated."

The purple energy condensed into a pistol in each of Mei's hands, and before Talos, who was opposite her, could react, Mei immediately disconnected the fire.

"Who are you?" Talos asked in horror as he opened the high-tech energy shield, watching the rapidly decreasing energy intensity of the shield.

"A superhero passing by." The interior space of the abandoned warehouse is not very wide, and there are many civilians, so Mei can't use her large-scale weapons of destruction.

"If I were you, give the duckling the reward, and go to jail honestly!"

Facing Nemesis, Talos had no power to fight back. In desperation, he took out a beige fingerless glove from his pocket and put it on his right hand, then buckled the emerald from the necklace and put it in the glove. superior.

"Come! Stone of Reverence! Show your strength!"

"So that's the case, I said why it feels wrong." The purple light belt in Mei's hand turned into a clip, passed through the energy shield in front of Talos and directly grabbed the green stone of reverence on the gauntlet of abundance, "So it's the 'Infinity Gem' .”

Having said that, the destructive power of the "Stone of Reverence" in May's hand is far worse than that of the six infinity stones.

"Damn it." Talos glanced unwillingly at the Stone of Reverence that Mei had snatched away, and then activated the teleportation device to escape from the abandoned warehouse.

"Wow, thank you for your help, ma'am." Howard blamed the duck in a somewhat depressed mood, "but I'm afraid my rent for next month will be ruined."

"Don't be so sad, Howard." May handed the stone of reverence and the gold necklace to Howard the strange duck, "This necklace is the reward you deserve. In addition, I think you should go to Doctor Strange, he should know about this gem what is going on."

Chapter 162 Doctor Strange

The next day, Howard the Duck met Tara Tam at the door of a pizzeria. The latter was wiping the sauce from the corner of his mouth with a napkin, as if he had just had a full meal.

"Oh, thank you for coming to me, Duck." Tara Tam patted her stomach with satisfaction, "I like your way of doing things, so that the wicked can't get any respite."

"So, what's the next case?" Tara Tam asked Howard the Duck curiously.

"I think we have to continue with the previous jewelry theft case." Howard the Duck spread his hands helplessly, "After returning to my detective agency yesterday, the Skrull named Talos attacked and knocked him unconscious. killed me, and took the emerald from me."

"You're so unlucky, duck." Tara Tam comforted Howard's Duck, rubbing the fluff on its head.

"But luckily, the gold necklace is still in my hand, so I don't have to worry about next month's rent." Howard the Duck patted his chest proudly.

"Congratulations." Tara Tam asked, "So are you going to find that alien named Talos next?"

"Yes." Howard Duck nodded, "If that guy named Talos got the last gem and then ruled Earth N or has other evil plans, I think I should bear a lot of responsibility .”

"Oh, I understand." Tara Tam, who was following Howard's strange duck, nodded, "You are a duck that is prone to guilt, so how can we find it before the aliens act?"

The two walked into the subway station, bought tickets according to the ticket purchase procedure, and got on the train. There were not many passengers on the subway, so Howard the Duck chose a seat near the door and sat down.

"Aunt Mei reminded me yesterday, I think my doctor friend should be able to help."

"Whoa, thanks to Obamacare, who is this guy?"

[Note: The Obamacare reform bill is one of the three major platform issues proposed by Obama when he participated in the election. It proposes medical security for American citizens without medical insurance. In English, doctor means both doctor and doctor]

Greenwich Village in the center of New York City, No. 177A Blake Street, here is the specific address of the Holy of Holies. It used to be the connection point of countless parallel universes and supernatural phenomena, but in the fighting world, the ability of the Holy of Holies has been almost completely abolished.

From the outside, Sanctuary is a three-story Victorian brownstone townhouse with French Baroque architectural design and a mansard roof.Due to its mystical nature, the interior of the Sanctuary appears to be larger than it appears from the outside, with a maze of corridors, magical objects, and furniture of all sizes.

"Wait a minute... so your friend Doctor Strange is actually a magician?"

Standing at the gate of the Holy of Holies in New York, Tara Tam nervously asked Howard the Duck.

"He's a master of magic arts, even better than David Bryan." Howard the Duck explained to his assistant while frantically knocking on the door of the Holy of Holies.

The door of the Holy of Holies opened slowly, and a middle-aged man in a Tang suit with a strong hairstyle walked out holding his hands.

"Hey! King!" Howard Strange Duck greeted very enthusiastically, "It's me, Howard Strange Duck, is Stephen Strange here?"

"It's really rare that you called the Supreme Mage by the right name." There was no expression on Wang's face, "Howard, I have to remind you that the Supreme Mage is very busy now, maybe you should call in advance before you come next time." Telephone?"

"Don't be like this, buddy." Howard Duck raised his hands and looked anxious, "This is a big event that destroys the world. I have to see him right away."

"Please...Howard." Wang Na really had nothing to do with the duck in front of him. After all, in a sense, Howard's strange duck was his younger brother.

"Uh...I'll wait for you outside." Tara Tam said honestly while hiding behind the gate, "Magic sounds scary."

"I heard you right, are you kidding?" Howard the Duck, who slipped into the Holy of Holies, looked back at his assistant, "I thought you liked such weird things."

"Forget it, see you later!"

Waving at Tara Tam, the Howard Duck was about to climb up the stairs to the top of the Holy of Holies when the king standing at the gate suddenly stopped it.

"The supreme mage is now dealing with the demon tango in the objective dimension, and is fighting with him for control of the sadness of the entire fighting world. There is no time to meet guests now."

"Oh." Howard replied strangely, and then ran up the stairs along the stairs in front of him.

The third floor of the Holy of Holies is a special area, which is composed of Doctor Strange's meditation room, the mysterious library and the storage area for mysterious magic artifacts, where powerful artifacts such as the Book of Visandi, the Amulet of Agamotto, and the Levitation Cloak are kept. magic props.

There is also a circular skylight with four curved lines on the roof of the Holy of Holies. This pattern design comes from the seal of the Book of Vishander, which protects the Holy of Holies from most supernatural invaders, and is also used by Called "Window to the World".

[Note: No matter in comics or movies, this skylight is often shattered...]

"So, he's inside?" Howard the Duck pointed to the pentagram not far away, on which a purple portal had opened.

"Yes, but I still want to remind you..."

"Listen, I've done this before." Howard the Duck immediately interrupted the king's warning, "Now I'm going in, to help Strange deal with grief or other things, so that the mage can Time to help me, see you later, Mr. Wang."

While speaking, Howard's strange duck's body had already passed through the purple portal in front of his eyes.

Behind the portal is a colorful and colorful space, as if floating in space, Howard the Duck is trying to control his body.

"Okay, Howard, try to control your own...direction, don't lose yourself." Howard Duck moved forward like swimming, "It's very simple, just be careful not to be hit by those meteorites OK..."

"Oh, it seems that I am quite talented."

"Are you here to play games?" Just as Howard Duck was exploring the surroundings, a strange voice suddenly sounded in its ears.

"Hey!" Howard the Duck turned his head vigilantly, and a group of weird creatures that were about the same size as him and looked like hell imps had floated in front of him.

"Game." These strange creatures kept repeating the same word, and quickly surrounded Howard Duck in the middle.
