Chapter 4743: X-Empire: Rebirth (Part 24)

In fact, this was really effective. Because Seeing Natasha had slept enough, after entering the hotel room, she immediately started to soak in the hot spring. Clearly, Charles had already adjusted the water diversion system for her; as soon as the water was let in, there was a thick smell of sulfur in the room.

Seeing Natasha soaked for about ten minutes, then transferred to the balcony. The outdoor temperature was relatively low, and she soaked for another twenty minutes, until she couldn't bear the heat anymore, before reluctantly coming out of the pool.

Then she rushed into the lounge on the second floor of the hotel like a cannonball to announce the good news: "This really works!!! I don't feel uncomfortable at all now!!!"

"Congratulations, congratulations," Steve said sincerely. "It's really great to be able to solve it with this method."

"Lady, you should really consider what you usually do to make hot spring therapy so effective," Strange still couldn't help but say. "If you were willing to wear one more piece of clothing in winter, things might not have developed to this point."

"That's right," Stark rarely agreed with Strange completely. "You are a modified human, your constitution should be better than others, how could it be so serious? It's just because you don't pay attention to maintenance usually."

Just as Seeing Natasha wanted to say something, Bucky spoke: "Nick doesn't send you to the Antarctic and Arctic every day, using work as an excuse is not good."

Seeing Natasha was finally speechless. She tightened the belt of her bathrobe and collapsed on the sofa: "You have to understand, my motherland regards overcoming cold and wind and snow as an honor, believing that cold-resistant constitution needs to be exercised from childhood. If you show fear of cold, it's easy to be treated as a softie."

"Then why do you like drinking to warm up, and develop hot vegetable soup?" Ma Te was clearly very good at convincing others with logic. "This proves that you are not afraid of cold, just forced to pretend. Dietary culture is much more honest."

Seeing Natasha was speechless again. She fanned herself with her hand, then said: "Actually, the feeling of soaking in a hot spring is not bad, I really feel much more comfortable."

"But you smell like a big piece of sulfur soap now," Stark said.

"You will all become sulfur soap later," Seeing Natasha said unhappily. "Stop laughing at me."

They chatted here for a while and ate some fruit. Soon, there were many more people in the lounge, and the Avengers of the local universe also came.

In fact, the relationship between the Avengers of these three universes is not very good. They lack a mediator who can stand up to reconcile the relationship and whitewash the peace, so everyone is a bit awkward when they meet.

However, this situation was soon alleviated, because it was not so awkward between counterparts and counterparts. They finally decided to divide into different counterpart groups to exchange greetings, which would be much better.

However, it was limited to heroes like Captain America. As for Iron Man, they basically followed others, and everyone knew that nothing good would happen if they were put together.

"Are you feeling better?" The main universe Black Widow looked at Seeing Natasha and said. "The Captain of our universe is a bit worried about you."

"Not bad," Seeing Natasha nodded and said. "Hot spring therapy is very effective. And they also successfully convinced me that I should drink less ice water."

"Health preservation expert," the local Black Widow said. "It seems that sometimes being too leisurely is not a good thing. If you had just finished solving that purple-headed guy who was eyeing Earth last week, and turned around to find that the ordinary human government wanted to perish together with the mutants, you probably wouldn't have these troubles."

"You just finished solving Thanos?" Seeing Natasha said with some surprise.

"Yeah, otherwise how would we not have noticed this business of the Red Door Orchid factory. There is too much work, there must be some priorities, isn't it?"

"This is indeed a bit scary," Seeing Natasha sighed. "We haven't had a universe-level crisis for several years, and Earth is even a safe home... oh, can't say that, we just left the beautiful solar system a while ago and went for a tour."

The Steve over there was also telling other two Captain Americas about his experience as a navigator.

"At that time, we accidentally drove into the broken void. At that time, the situation was as thrilling as it could be, we had just set the gravity anchor, and the first mate suddenly rushed in and said: 'The gravity of the left hull is unbalanced!' Everyone was scared into a cold sweat. Just at this time, the Star Spirit race living in the broken void discovered this spaceship and started sending signals to our frequency band. We didn't speak the same language, those signals looked like garbled code, and we thought we were trapped in a trap, and even the communication channel was interfered with. Fortunately, it was a misunderstanding in the end, and they even helped us drag the ship out..."

"What about the other one?" Strange looked at the local Doctor Strange and asked.

"They took him back," the local Doctor Strange said. "I heard that the 'perfect' support plan was thought up by the two of them. They left, and the Avengers can finally do some serious work."

"Don't talk about them either, but if you properly fix the magic defense network, it wouldn't have deteriorated to this point," Strange shook his head and said. "If the magic gods on your side are not skilled in business, why not go to my universe, they just happen to want to expand their business more widely."

"Can you still borrow power across universes?" Doctor Strange narrowed his eyes.

"Why not?" Strange took out a business card from who knows where, handed it to Doctor Strange, and then said, "Go to the Sanctum Sanctorum when you have time, you should also go to the big city to see how generous the true Lord of Hell and the Source of Darkness are, don't always act like a bumpkin."

"I really don't know when you became a spokesperson for the devil."

"We are all spokespersons for the devil," Strange drank some wine and said. "Always has been, never changed. It's just that some people haven't seen the world and want to sell themselves and Earth cheaply. With me here, they can't even think about it."

Ma Te and Shiler had no counterparts present, so they were still sitting in the corner, eating fruit by themselves. But Charles would definitely not disappoint every guest, and soon mutants brought sashimi, clearly knowing their tastes very well.

"This wouldn't be caught by mutants in the sea, would it?" Ma Te was a bit shocked and sniffed his nose; his various senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people, able to smell a very obvious fishy smell, and not the kind of fishy smell that had been placed for a long time and was a bit spoiled, but the freshest, like the smell of seawater.

Shiler could see very clearly; he picked up the tuna belly with a fork, and the fresh belly was completely different from the frozen one. He carefully distinguished it, then said: "I suspect Namor went into the water to catch it. How on earth did Charles convince him?"

"Anyway, he always has a way," Ma Te didn't care about this, just wanted to eat. However, one shouldn't eat the belly first when eating sashimi; the grease taste is too heavy, which will make the fish behind taste nothing. One should eat white-fleshed or silver-fleshed fish with a lighter taste first, and finally eat the tuna and salmon belly.

With delicious food, the two didn't care about anything, eating and drinking by themselves, completely missing a series of diplomatic events such as friendly exchanges between mutants and local Avengers, friendly exchanges between S. H. I. E. L. D. and mutants, friendly exchanges between local Avengers and S. H. I. E. L. D., etc. Until the sky darkened and the entire hot spring bathhouse lit up.

Looking out from the window of the hotel lounge on the cliff, it was brightly lit. Because a large amount of crystal material was used, the lights in the room could be seen through, like one bright star after another, forming a brilliant universe in the blue hour.

Everyone went to the balcony to watch this scene. After the bath pool started to let in water, thin white mist rose up, making it even more mysterious and beautiful, as if being in the God's Kingdom of elves.

Accompanied by the heat brought by the water flow, the banquet officially began. Everyone put on bathrobes and rushed to the soaking pools they were interested in. Various hot spring soaking pools, besides different temperatures, also had their own characteristics. Some were sulfur pools, with a thick sulfur smell, which could sterilize and disinfect. Some were herbal pools, with some local Krakoa herbs added, including Krakoa flowers, which had the effect of improving physical fitness.

However, the most popular was the flowing water pool outside the indoor soaking pool. It was a hot spring stream made of living water; when soaking in it, the water flow would gently stroke the body, just like doing a massage. Most people didn't want to leave after experiencing it.

In addition, there were mutants using telekinesis who kept providing cold wine and fruit to others. It was simply a floating winding stream in the air; this one said they wanted wine, that one said they wanted snacks, and plate after plate of food was sent over, making the scene extremely lively.

Seeing Natasha had already soaked during the day, so she gathered at the bar next to her with people who didn't like soaking in hot springs to drink. For the sake of health preservation, she didn't even ask for ice cubes this time. A mouthful of whiskey went down, and she frowned in disgust.

"If you don't want to get worse, drink less, lady," Shiler came over to remind her. "Alcohol will activate blood, which is to speed up blood circulation, which might make you hurt more."

Seeing Natasha immediately spat out the half mouthful of wine she hadn't swallowed yet. Anyway, it didn't taste good, might as well just have a drink.

Ma Te didn't soak for long either, and was run out by the heat. He let out a long breath, and while tying the belt of his bathrobe, said: "I shouldn't have soaked in such a hot pool as soon as I came up, I should have progressed step by step. Just now, after being smoked by the steam, I actually felt a bit dizzy."

"This is normal," Shiler said. "The time for soaking once should not exceed ten minutes. Want a drink?"

"No, I've quit drinking since little Jack was born," Ma Te said. "I have to set a good example for the child."

Just as Seeing Natasha wanted to tease him, she saw Ma Te's face change. Shiler also asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you also uncomfortable?"

"Maybe," Ma Te said. "Although I practice martial arts and have internal energy, I might not necessarily be unaffected by Krakoa Island. I don't know why I feel a bit nauseous, and a bit..."

Just after finishing, Ma Te swayed on the spot, held onto the bar of the bar, and then said: "It might be that the hot spring temperature is too high, I feel a bit dizzy, just like carsick."

Shiler hurriedly supported Ma Te, then said: "You might just be heat-dizzy from soaking too long. I'll send you back to the room to rest for a while."

Just after taking two steps, Ma Te suddenly reached out. After getting rid of Shiler, he staggered on the spot, then said: "No, that's not right. Something is shaking... the ground is shaking!"

He tried hard to stabilize his figure and roared: "Earthquake! It's an earthquake!! Everyone run!!!" ===== CHAPTER 4744 =====
