Marvel: Father of the Saints

88 After the bell rang, Maier just gave Shion an order to deal with the follow-up matters, and then returned to the temple.

Mai Er didn't care about his own image, and sat directly at the door, took out two and was served a jug of wine, both glasses were filled, but he only picked up one of them and drank it down.

"The last one has left too, Morkaba. Although there are still children of the new era, I still feel a little lonely when you are gone. Back then, you rode on my neck to pee, and then I was severely beaten by Jatsuin, and there was another time..."

Just like that, Maier said to himself, and at the same time waved his hand and took out a wine glass and poured the wine.

At this time, Asura suddenly appeared, without saying anything, just sat on the ground, and picked up the wine glass that belonged to him.

"came back?"

"Well, just in time to send him off for the last time."

"That's good……"

"Aren't you going to ask about the result?"

"I don't want to discuss this matter now, I just want to send him off today."

"it is good……"

Two people, three glasses of wine, the two of them were talking to each other, as if they were joking with each other, or recalling the past.

But this scene seems to be frozen, there is no wind, no rain, no sunshine, under the gloomy dark clouds, it is desolate, but warm.

Chapter 78: Athena is Coming

Mai Eryin and Asura continued to drink until the next day's sunrise before it was considered over.

"Let me just say, becoming stronger is not without harm. You can't even drink wine, it's like drinking plain water." Asura shook the empty wine bottle and complained.

"That's great, lest you like to wreak havoc everywhere when you're drunk." Maier joked.

"Hey! Didn't you agree? Don't mention the black history of the past!" Asura shouted with a flushed face.

"There is no outsider here, so I don't know if I don't tell you?"

"Tch, I only have two hobbies, drinking and fighting. Now the wine tastes bad, and you control me when fighting. What fun do I have in life?"

"Isn't it? How do I remember that you still have a hobby?"

"That's called living needs! You, a great love saint who guards his body like jade, won't understand."

"Yeah, I'm not like some old bachelor, I have a wife to take care of me." It seemed to be lamenting and complaining, but the playful expression on his face proved that Maier was only in Versailles.

"You bastard! I..."

"Okay, Asura, let's get down to business." Maier asked with a serious expression because he had stopped Asura's attack in advance.

Seeing this, Asura stopped making trouble and became serious.

"The entrance to the Buddhist world has been moved, so I didn't find much. But I also found some traces. I met some little Buddhas who were scattered outside, and they have already taken refuge in Hades." Asura said.

Asura has not returned to the sanctuary for a while, and he has been investigating the collusion between Buddhism and the underworld outside.

Although they all have speculations in their hearts, they don't have any substantial evidence. Have all the Buddhist sects fallen?To that extent?To what extent has Buddhism's strength recovered?

These are all extremely important information, and Maier did not expect that when he led the saint fighters to fight Hades' Pluto army happily, he was backstabbed by the Buddhist runners.

If Morkaba hadn't passed away, Asura would still be investigating.

"We must find out where the Buddhist gate is now."

"I know, I'll leave later."

After drinking the last wine in the glass, Asura put down the glass and was about to leave, but Maier stopped him.

"Hello, Asura."

"Anything else to order?"

"Don't die, old friends from the past, there are only a few of you left." Maier said looking at Chaoyang.

"Tch, I thought you were going to say something, but those cowards can't keep me." Asura laughed, and then turned into golden light and disappeared into the sky.

……

Time flies, and it is 1980.

During this period, there were not too many things, there was still no major crisis, and small troubles continued.

Criminals with superpowers are appearing more and more frequently, and "SHIELD" and "X-Men" are also extremely busy. The prison in Sanctuary has been expanded twice, but it is still too crowded.

Moreover, the current "SHIELD" is divided into two sides: the bright side and the dark side. The dark side is naturally a private organization secretly formed by Colonel Phillips, Steve, Peggy, and Howard. Bureau"...

Oh, by the way, it is not called "SHIELD" now, it should be called "Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistic Support Agency", a special agency established by the International Security Council to deal with various strange incidents.

Due to Peggy's relationship with Steve and her credit and outstanding ability, she was appointed as the first director.

Although Peggy did not refuse, she was not at all interested in the so-called "Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency".

If it weren't for the "Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistic Support Bureau" being established on the basis of a scientific strategic force, she would really not want to be the director of this bureau.

Leaving aside the fact that bureaucratic-linked organizations do not conform to her philosophy in terms of nature and purity, let's see who the members are.

Agents of the original Intelligence Bureau and Investigation Bureau, some high-ranking officials who were forcibly forced in to be gold-plated, scientists from other countries recruited by "Operation Paperclip", and the worst thing is the original Hydra members who were captured after the war. Peggy sees When looking at the list of personnel, she didn't know how much patience it took to resist giving each person on the list a peanut.

"Have the heads of these idiots been kicked by donkeys? The people of Hydra didn't just shoot them, but let them join such an important organization?" Peggy slammed herself with a sip of whiskey.

"Calm down, Carter, they are not Hydra now, not after surrender." Colonel Phillips comforted.

"Hehe, you don't even believe what you say." Peggy rolled her eyes and sneered.

"Well, I really don't believe them, but this is an order from above, and there is nothing I can do about it." Colonel Phillips spread his hands and said innocently.

"So your name is not on my gift list."

"That's really great, but why do you care? Anyway, you, the director, are just showing them, and our core is here." Colonel Phillips pointed to his feet and said.

"Oh, of course I know this, but... I'm still very disappointed." Peggy said with a sigh.

"Hehe, it's just a group of guys who have been blinded by illusions, let them go, but Peggy, you'd better monitor those people in advance, don't have an accident at that time, you will become a blame man." Howard reminded.

"It has been arranged, and I still have the people from the former Science and Technology Strategic Force in my hands."

"That's good, do you want to send some people from SHIELD to help you? "

"Forget it, there are a lot of good and bad people in the "Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency".No one can be trusted except the people from the former Science and Strategy Force.

Although the schemes are evil, they are indeed elites. "SHIELD" is not suitable for exposure. If something is seen in advance, it will be a big loss. "

Besides, now that there are more and more criminals with super powers, they are almost overwhelmed. Where can someone be transferred to help me? "

"That's all I said, don't take it seriously." Howard laughed.

He stopped laughing right away, though, because Peggy's eyes kept falling on him.

"Hey, hey, Peggy, are you kidding?" After so many years of cooperation, the three present and Steve, who was on the mission, have cultivated an unparalleled tacit understanding. Even if Peggy didn't say anything, Howard would I understand what Peggy means.

"Of course... no! After thinking about it, I really need your help."

"Can you let me go? I'm already very busy now! I'll just go home for one day this week!"

"One day is not bad, look at the colonel, look at me, look at Steve, how long have we not had a rest?"

Howard wants to cry, yes, yes, you're telling the truth, but does that make the same difference?Colonel Phillips is a lonely old man with no wife or children, and "SHIELD" is his home;

It's your own fault that you and Steve don't take much time off!You have to take over the small tasks yourself because you don’t feel at ease, is it my fault?

And I am different, I have a wife and children!

That's right, Howard and Maria's son, the future Iron Man - Tony Stark was born ten years ago.

And because Howard is too busy with work, ten-year-old Tony hates Howard who often doesn't go home, and has repeatedly slandered him for having a newcomer outside!

For this, Howard is really grateful to Maria for being by Tony's side for him.But they couldn't explain Tony's slander. The less people know about the existence of "SHIELD", the better.

However, Howard was not worried at all that Tony would grow crooked due to family reasons. The first reason was that Maria had been with Tony all the time, and even quit her job to take care of him;

Second, when Tony was born, under the petition of Howard and others, he received the "blessing" of Maier Yin, plus Howard accompanied Maria and took Tony to the sanctuary as a guest whenever he had time. Next, there must be no dark thoughts.

Howard racked his brains to think of any other reasons or excuses to refuse Peggy's own help from the "Strategic Homeland Defense Offensive and Logistic Support Agency", and at this moment, the special communicator between them and Steve rang .

"This is Peggy Carter, please."

"Peggy, you don't have plans for the next two days, do you?"

"No, what's the matter? Did something happen?"

"Okay, then go to the sanctuary tomorrow, and I will meet you there."

"What happened?" Did another god appear?

When they heard that they were going to the Sanctuary, the expressions of Peggy, Howard, and Colonel Phillips became serious.

As long as there is no incident involving the gods, they will not go to the sanctuary for help, even if Steve is the most frequent among the three.But it was just to practice, and now it would definitely not be a trivial matter to call them together.

And the appearance of the gods, in their eyes, is not a small disaster.

"Yes, another god is coming."

"Do you know who it is?"

"Goddess Athena."

"What!? How could it be her!? She's not... Wait! You mean!?" Peggy thought of something and was shocked.

"That's right, Mr. Maier issued a recall order to all the saint fighters. The day after tomorrow is the time when the goddess Athena reincarnates." Steve replied.

"This... this... you wait, I need to slowly..."

After a long time, the three of Peggy calmed down. The three looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Understood, we'll set off right away."

"Um……"

After the communication was over, the three of Peggy started to arrange without any delay. The goddess Athena came to the world, which is no small matter. Peggy and Howard are priests who have been "blessed". When another main god comes, of course they have to be present.

At the same time, they also want to confirm whether the goddess Athena is a god who is willing to protect the earth as in the legend.

"By the way, do Maria and Tony need to go?" Howard asked suddenly.

Those who have accepted the "blessing" are considered to be the priests of Maier, and Maria and Tony are naturally included.

But although they knew about Sanctuary, they were not deeply involved, and Howard was not very willing to involve them.

"Let's go together, Mr. Melin shouldn't mind, but we have to express our attitude." Peggy replied after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I'll go pick them up now."

Chapter 79: Black Hand, Maier the Wrathful

The sky is clear and there is no cloud. The bright sunshine has covered the sanctuary with a holy gauze. The city has lost the hustle and bustle of the past. Crowded people gather on the streets, squares, and rooftops of buildings, all looking at the sanctuary in unison. the top of the mountain.

In the sanctuary, the silver saints and bronze saints gathered in the square, and the twelve gold saints stood guard in their respective palaces. Shion and Alex stood side by side in front of the Pope's Palace, facing the direction of the temple together, excited and excited waiting for something.

And Maier, standing in front of the statue of Athena, waited motionless, but his eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement and passion.

"Finally... 50 years, Athena, you and I will meet again, you must be angry with me, right? If I hadn't insisted on fighting at that time, I wouldn't have slept for 50 years, and neither have you You will always be bullied, don't worry, Athena, when the time comes, I will come to you one by one, find you a place, and then slowly compensate you." Maier thought in his heart.

Time passed by minute by minute, and when the scheduled time came, the sky was full of light, and the golden bell on the top of the mountain rang by itself without anyone striking it. In front of Maier's body, in the gentle beam of light, something seemed to be slowly condensing.

"Athena!"

At this moment, the sudden dark clouds covered the sky, leaving only the sky-reaching beam of light that could not be covered, exuding an ominous black air, and the bright blue electric arc kept moving.

"This is! Be alert! Shion, Alex, and the Gold Saints come to me immediately!"

Aware of the unnaturalness of the dark cloud and the familiar small universe hidden deep within it, Maier's face changed drastically, and he anxiously spread the order throughout the entire sanctuary.

After receiving the order, the saints did not dare to delay at all. The silver saints and bronze saints immediately guarded the surrounding area of ​​the sanctuary. Shion and Alex brought the twelve gold saints and Garen to Maier around.

"grown ups!"

"Blast me away this dark cloud with "Zodiac Noise"! "At the same time as the order, Maier put on his own voice, put his two swords in his waist, and the small universe continued to improve.

"My lord, we haven't learned the "Zodiac Twelve Shouts" yet! "

"Then use 'Athena's Surprise'!Or your strongest fighting skills!You must smash this dark cloud to pieces! "

As soon as the words fell, the two swords held at the waist had already made a move.
