Chapter 262 A World of Undercurrents, The Hive and the Dark Dwellers
Chapter 262 A World of Undercurrents, The Hive and the Dark Dwellers
Everyone watching this scene, whether superheroes, ordinary citizens, or people from various nations observing the spectacle, fell silent...
Seconds...seconds?
Captain Marvel, the human traitor who couldn't be killed even by nuclear bombs and was difficult to defeat even with the combined power of all the superheroes, was instantly killed by the returning Spider-Man?
And it seems that it wasn't just an instant kill, but rather that it completely devoured Captain Marvel?
Countries around the world had a bad feeling about this. Did the symbiote on the 'Poison Spider' also have the ability to devour other superpowered individuals, as recorded in their data?
In other words, the 'Spider' not only killed Captain Marvel, but also absorbed Captain Marvel's god-like power, right?
The superheroes and civilians below probably don't feel anything about this yet, since as their leader and protector, the stronger the Spider is, the better.
The stronger the venomous spiders are, the safer ordinary people like them will be when the Earth faces disasters in the future, thanks to their protection!
But the countries don't see it that way. The stronger the venomous spider is, the less they can control it.
The damage that an uncontrollable native superhuman could cause might be no less than an invasion war launched by aliens!
Even with Tobey's power after absorbing Captain Marvel, if Tobey were to stand against humanity, they might as well face an entire alien civilization!
The nations that were already extremely wary of Toby's return have now placed him on an even higher level of threat than nuclear war because of his act of devouring Captain Marvel.
That is to say, even if a global nuclear war breaks out, we should not provoke him!
The Tri-Wing Building, the first floor of the Security Council.
Lin Lie, the representative from China, looked at Toby, who had become even stronger after absorbing Captain Marvel in the satellite imagery, turned to the other four stunned council members, and sneered:
"Now you know how right my decision was, right?"
"A bunch of short-sighted fools almost caused humanity to lose its spider family over a mere potential loss of reputation!"
"It's time for you all to get used to and accept the arrival of a new era of superhuman breakthroughs, instead of rejecting and resisting it!"
"Also, remember our promise to the Spider Family: no matter what kind of public opinion storms they encounter in the future, we must firmly and fully support them!"
"After all, you wouldn't want the returning Toby Parker to become an even more terrifying, world-destroying Captain Marvel because of your slip of the tongue, would you?"
"That's all I have to say. Think about it yourselves!"
After saying that, Lin Lie left the meeting without saying goodbye, and his virtual projection disappeared from the conference room.
After he left, the French representative slammed his hand on the table in dissatisfaction and snorted coldly:
"Hmph, what's wrong with China's new representative to the Security Council? He lacks the humility and kindness of the previous representative, and speaks so rudely to us seniors. Just because our country has become stronger, does he think he can shed his image as a nation of etiquette and show his true fangs?!"
Upon hearing this, the representatives from the other three countries not only did not echo the French representative's words, but instead looked at him as if he were an idiot.
The Russian representative was the most direct, his gaze towards the French representative filled with disdain:
"Representative Lin said you're short-sighted, which is actually a compliment. You idiot, you're not just short-sighted, you're practically blind and deaf! No, you don't even have a brain!"
The American representative also gave the French representative a cold look:
"That new guy has already made himself so clear, don't you understand?"
The only female member, the England representative, sighed:
"It seems that China has already taken the lead in accepting and adapting to this new era. Even the representative on the Security Council has been replaced by a superhuman. We have indeed fallen behind..."
Hearing the representatives from the three countries speaking one after another, the French representative finally understood the hidden meaning in Lin Lie's words and exclaimed in shock:
"You mean Lin Lie is also a superhuman? What exactly is China trying to do, daring to appoint a superhuman to such an important position?"
Upon hearing this, the representatives from the other three countries lost all interest in answering the French representative's idiotic question, and like Lin Lie, they all left the meeting with their own thoughts.
In the end, only the bewildered French representative and the Security Council Secretary-General Alexander Pierce, who was chairing the meeting, remained in the conference room.
Seeing that his colleagues were ignoring him, the French representative could only look at Pierce, who remained, with a puzzled expression: "Secretary-General Pierce, what exactly do they mean?"
Alexander, with a polite smile that suggested concern for people with intellectual disabilities, said calmly:
"Accept it, uphold it, become it—that's what Representative Lin wanted to tell us, what the representatives of the other three countries are doing now, and what you should be doing..."
"I'm sorry, I still need to meet with the spider family that completed our commission to discuss our specific funding projects, so the meeting is adjourned for now."
After finishing his remarks, without even saying goodbye to the French representative, Pierce, the only real person in the meeting room, shut down the multinational virtual conference.
After the meeting ended, the lights in the conference room automatically turned on, and the tightly closed curtains slowly rose, revealing the newborn sun...
Pierce stood before the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes gleaming, and murmured to himself:
"Perhaps that newcomer from China is right. In this era belonging to superhumans, it's time for us ordinary people to make a change, whether it's them or Hydra..."
"Perhaps... it's time for us Hydra to reclaim our legend, the powerful superhuman 'Hive' who once founded the true Hydra!"
China, the Divine Spear Bureau.
Lin Lie had just finished a Security Council meeting and stepped out of his office when a tall, elegant figure in a women's suit strode up to him: "Representative Lin, Director Zheng Xian requests your immediate presence in his office!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lie frowned. "The director? Secretary An, do you know why the director wanted to see me?"
Secretary An's expression turned serious, and she said in a deep voice, "It's about Tarot Village. The Dark Gate that Tarot Village has guarded for thousands of years is stirring again. The Divine Dragon told the guardians of Tarot Village that darkness is coming, and the guardians of Tarot Village hope that our Divine Spear Bureau will go to their aid!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lie couldn't help but gasp: "The legendary Dark Dwellers who destroyed the world where Tarot Village is located, are they about to descend upon our world?"
