Chapter 3980
The Avengers team of the main universe didn't feel discouraged because of losing the main universe Iron Man; they almost immediately threw themselves into work. However, they didn't go to "weed in the universe" as Coulson said—now in the multiverse, many superheroes gathered here, and such small things naturally have others to do, so there's no need to bother the Avengers. Coulson just didn't want to refuse them directly and found such an excuse.
As for why he wanted to refuse, the main universe Captain America saw it much more clearly than Iron Man. This group of them cannot be counted as stray dogs, and they can completely be called a defeated army. Even if the genetically modified humans have good recovery ability and there are no wounds on their bodies, weapons won't repair themselves automatically. Even if they brought some ammunition, they need time to replace it.
Just when they were preparing to find a quiet place to rest, a girl wearing a pink and white tight suit, looking a bit like Deadpool, jumped in front of them:
"Hey, hello! You guys are from the main universe, right? The registration and reporting office is over there; don't go the wrong way. If you need, I can send you over."
"Um, hello, lady." Captain America walked up and shook hands with her, then said, "Registration office? So all superheroes who come here have to register? But it's also convenient for personnel management this way. I won't trouble you to take us over; just point us in the direction, thanks a lot."
"You're welcome, you can call me Gwen. The registration office is over there; you'll know when you see the New Warriors team."
The Avengers of the main universe walked in the direction he pointed and soon saw a few unfamiliar faces: Night Thrasher and Speedball of the New Warriors team were registering the personnel list, Squirrel Girl was using a computer, and Microbe was dozing off on the side.
Seeing someone walk over, Speedball stood up immediately and said, "You guys finally arrived; now it's just you guys left, come over and register quickly."
After speaking, he gave each of them a form and asked them to fill it out. Besides writing their abilities, they also had to write the equipment and supplies they needed. The main universe Captain America struggled for a long time, and after checking the forms of everyone else to confirm there were no errors, he handed them in.
"Oh, God, your equipment wear and tear is too severe. Did you just experience a big battle? It seems you must go to the equipment department to collect equipment first, and you might need to customize some equipment for space combat. Take this registration form and turn right for 200 meters, bypass the flower bed and you will see a house with a blue roof; go there to collect equipment first. Bypassing this house is the hospital and medicine department; you have to go there to collect medicine. Opposite is the training room simulating the space environment; you can also use it if you want, but I suggest you go to the accommodation area at the very back to rest first..."
Robert finished muttering, gave each of them a stack of materials, and signaled them to walk in the direction he pointed.
The Avengers of the main universe hadn't figured out what was going on—because generally speaking, their battles didn't need these processes. After a big battle, returning to S. H. I. E. L. D. for supplies was just saying it casually, and then there would be ready-made equipment sent over. Even if there were some things S. H. I. E. L. D. couldn't do, they could go find Iron Man; the rich guy would always have a way.
However, the main universe Captain America adapted well to this, and he even had the mood to joke, saying, "This really reminds me of when I was in the army. You don't know, useless things can be bought casually there, but useful things have to be reported at least 10 times. Even if it passes, things are sent very slowly. I once heard that someone went to the battlefield barefoot because the boots came too late..."
Dr. Banner laughed very cooperatively, and then he said, "Actually, we should have brought more supplies. After all, in such a hasty situation, what they prepared are probably standard equipment, which might not necessarily be suitable for us."
"I'm also not that dependent on equipment. When I first went to the battlefield, I didn't know how to use a shield. You know, this looks too strange, making you look like Don Quixote. At that time, I was like them, wearing a helmet and military boots, holding a gun and rushing to the battlefield. It was later that I explored a set of cold weapon combat methods."
As they were talking, they had already arrived in front of the house with the blue roof. The main universe Captain America tentatively pushed the door open, wanting to see if there was anyone inside, only to see an unexpected figure standing in front of the weapon rack. This moment pulled the main universe Captain America into past memories.
"God, Howard, why are you here?!" The main universe Captain America walked over quickly in disbelief and hugged his old partner tightly in his arms. Howard was almost squeezed out of his arms like toothpaste.
"Oh, you damn bastard," he cursed, "You really haven't changed at all after all these years. I warned you, don't touch my expensive custom suit! And don't hug me like a drunk brown bear!"
"It's really you," the main universe Captain America said in disbelief, "I originally thought I was hallucinating, but I just said it's impossible for there to be a second person in this world as pretentious as you—except your son."
"Spare me," Howard said, "Once you hear about fighting, you come smelling the scent. Forget it, your shield is on that wall; go pick whichever material you like."
Howard pointed to a shelf next to him. This is a huge building like a church, and rows upon rows of shelves were placed on the open space, which seemed to be all equipment, and even quite a few were floating in the sky—but they looked like weapons specifically for mages.
What's even more bizarre is that a Spider-Man was squatting on each shelf. When the main universe Captain America walked over, he saw his own Spider-Man "pushing aside all opinions" in the physical sense, squeezing away all other Spider-Men, jumping onto the shelf he was going to, and didn't forget to roar back at others: "This is the Captain America of our universe! It should have been me to receive him! You guys can't grab with me..."
"I'm glad you regained your vitality, Spider-Man," the main universe Captain America smiled at him and said, "So where is my weapon?"
"Over here, Captain," Spider-Man pointed to the shelf below him, and then said, "Your shields are all over here; do you need me to introduce them to you?"
The main universe Captain America turned over from the other side and said, "Isn't it just a shield? What's there to introduce... God, what are all these?!"
"These are shields," Spider-Man said, "different shields prepared for Captain Americas of different universes. We are the main universe, relatively balanced in all aspects, so I suggest you adopt the vibranium-reinforced shield."
Spider-Man pointed from top to bottom at one of the shields. The main universe Captain America also saw at a glance that star-spangled shield hanging in the middle, which was no different from the style he usually used, except it was brighter than the one in his hand, and the metal also emitted a faint luster, looking very beautiful.
The main universe Captain America reached out and took the shield down. Just after getting it in his hand, he weighed it with some surprise, and then said, "Why is this thing so light?"
"Because this is hollow," Spider-Man introduced him very excitedly, "This shield uses an alloy of special vibranium and molten steel from this universe, which reduces the weight while increasing the toughness of the shield, which can greatly reduce the burden on the user. Of course, I know this bit of weight is not a burden for you, but some functions that may be used in space combat are loaded on it."
The main universe Captain America also discovered some differences at this time: there were some buttons on the handle of the shield, which seemed to correspond to different functions. He reached out and pressed the first one, and the entire shield unfolded in a very complex and gorgeous way. Although it became very thin, the area became three times the original, basically covering the entire main universe Captain America.
The main universe Captain America knocked on the shield with some worry and said, "So thin, can it really resist impact? Is the cushioning effect still there?"
"Of course, it's about the same as the original. This is the latest work of Howard Stark, and the quality is naturally beyond doubt."
"I didn't expect this shield to have a day of upgrading," the main universe Captain America shook his head.
"There is also the most important function you haven't used yet. Try putting it on the ground and stepping on it." Spider-Man said.
The main universe Captain America stepped on it like a skateboard with half-belief and half-doubt, with one foot in front and one behind near the handle, and then found that the foot behind seemed to have stepped on something. He kicked lightly, and the entire shield darted out like an electric skateboard.
Fortunately, the main universe Captain America had good balance, leaned back abruptly, but stabilized his figure firmly, and even immediately grasped the essence of this surfing, circling around the weapon warehouse.
"I knew you were the best! Captain! You slide better than them all!" Spider-Man yelled.
"I was still thinking about how to solve my power in the universe when I came, this thing is indeed quite easy to use," the main universe Captain America looked very happy, patted the shield after restoring it, and then said, "This guy Howard really has two brushes."
"There's more, there's more," Spider-Man said, "Try throwing it out."
Spider-Man pointed to the other side where there was a shooting range with two dummies standing in the middle. The main universe Captain America threw the shield, and the shield accurately hit one of the dummies, but it didn't return, but just hovered there, then the shield opened abruptly and knocked the dummy flying.
"Wow, not a bad long-range means," the main universe Captain America waved his fist. But a more amazing scene appeared: after knocking the dummy flying, the shield suddenly flickered, and then teleported directly back to his hand.
"This integrates some magic technology," Spider-Man said, "There is a battery compartment behind your handle, which contains a miniature version of the magic arc reactor and a magic core that can last for about 40 hours. This gives the shield some magic attributes, which can resist pure energy attacks, and at the same time can teleport back to your hand to prevent the shield from being snatched."
"Unbelievable," the main universe Captain America was truly praising, and he said, "This is also Howard's achievement? He is really keeping pace with the times."
Spider-Man touched his nose and said, "I have to tell the truth, you definitely won't like hearing it, Captain, but I still have to say—this is the research achievement of Iron Man of this universe."
The main universe Captain America widened his eyes and said, "Tony?"
"Yeah, Iron Man of this universe knows magic, so he applied magic to many mechanical equipment..."
"He has this technology, I'm not surprised at all. What I'm surprised about is that he would be willing to use this technology to build a shield for me."
"Yes, of course. Using Tony's technology will have some side effects—it's just that you came too late and missed him calling all the Captain Americas together to show off for two hours. If it weren't for having to set off for the front line, he might have been able to show off for two days."
The main universe Captain America couldn't help but cover his forehead: "Tony is indeed Tony."
