The mechanical craze in Marvel

The war was over. Wonder Woman Diana, seeing Ares, the God of War, now devoid of his light, finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. This battle had been incredibly difficult. To defeat Ares, they had used every trick in the book, employing every method imaginable. Yet, they were still suppressed by Ares. But now, after overcoming countless difficulties, they had finally managed to keep the warrior pinned down. And from this day forward, there would be no more war in the world—at least, that's what Diana thought. So, without hesitation, she spoke to Nolan Knock:

"The world will be able to become peaceful in the future."

Barry Allen glanced at Diana. Although he had some doubts about what she was saying, they had, after all, killed Ares, the God of War, someone who constantly instigated wars behind the scenes. The reputation brought by war was extremely important to him, so he felt that what Wonder Woman Diana said might be true, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he didn't want the world to be at war either.

As a superhero, he had always been dedicated to solving various problems related to loyalty, but he was of no use in combating the global threat of war. However, now that he had dealt with Ares, the God of War, perhaps they truly had solved the problem of global war, which was naturally a very good thing for him. But Nolan Locke didn't laugh like him; he simply looked at Dana with a strange expression and then said calmly:

"Do you really think that one person can start a war in this world? Even if he is the God of War?"

Upon hearing Nolan Locke's words, a look of disbelief appeared on Diana's face.

He had never considered this possibility. In his view, this was naturally the work of Ares, the God of War. If Ace had not been defeated, the whole world would have been at peace. But now it seemed that Nolan Locke did not think so. He could not understand how Nolan Locke could have such a thought.

After all, the mystery of this world was organized by Ares, the God of War. There was only Ares in this world. If Ares hadn't defeated Ares, how could so many wars have happened? And if there hadn't been so many wars, how could so much trouble have arisen?

In this situation, he felt he had solved the problem of world war, but Nolan Locke continued:

"War can never be started by one person. The role of Gazaris is merely that of a catalyst. It can bring forward the time of war, but it cannot eliminate war directly. As long as there is desire in this world, there will never be a day when war will cease to exist. Therefore, war can never disappear."

It will only be suppressed, and it will only continue. One day it will erupt again. So what we can do is not to eliminate the war in this world, but to solve every problem around us and make our surroundings more harmonious. This is the only thing we can do. Even the warrior Ares cannot change this situation.

Nolan Locke's words filled Diana with disbelief. To her, it was utterly unbelievable and completely different from what she had learned. But for Baljaren, it was a completely different concept. Hearing Nolan Locke's words, he immediately realized that he seemed to be stuck in a rut. Yes, although they had defeated the warrior Ares, and Ares had been stirring up wars all over the world, if it weren't for Ares, perhaps many wars wouldn't have happened. But as Nolan Locke said...

Wars never arise from the existence of a single body, but from the existence of interests in the world. As long as interests exist, war can never be truly eliminated. Therefore, they can never truly eliminate war; all they can hope for is that war will become less frequent.

In this regard, their defeat of the warrior Ares is definitely helpful to the world. However, to say that they can eliminate the entire world war is naturally impossible. So, after Paris Allen realized this a few days ago, he calmed down. It seems that there will still be many troubles in the world, but at least they have solved the trouble in Zhuzhou for now. At least they no longer need to face a war god like Ares who stirs up wars everywhere.

Moreover, because of the existence of the warrior Iris, this world would have many more uncertainties. Now that the warrior Iris is dead, it means that they can solve many problems. Nolan Locke smiled. Now that the problem has been solved, he should deal with some of his own troubles. After all, what he did today was not small. Using so many missiles is a huge problem for the whole world. Naturally, he cannot avoid this trouble. What he needs to do now is to use his Gauss rifle to take over this trouble. However, even so...

After this incident, he will likely enter the world of the world, and it won't be so easy for him to be as carefree as he is now. Most importantly, he needs to further improve his strength. In this battle, he didn't play any significant role; he merely used his superpowers to provide some assistance. He didn't actually participate in the combat.

He lacked the power to participate, which was unacceptable to him. Therefore, Nono didn't hesitate; he only had one goal in mind: to increase his power. He had accumulated a considerable amount of technology points, which could grant him a power boost. Although this boost wouldn't restore him to his peak, it would at least allow him to escape his current state, though he would need some time. Now that he had defeated Ares, the God of War...

Then perhaps the only variable in this matter is Reverse Lightning's idea.

If Reverse-Flash chooses to cause him trouble at this time, then he probably won't be able to stay idle. Then he looked at the artifact next to him. Of course, if Diana is willing to stay here for a while, then he will be at ease.

With Diana around, Reverse-Flash wouldn't dare do anything.

Chapter 473

Nolan Locke didn't hesitate at all and went straight to Wonder Woman to discuss his thoughts. He needed to improve his strength, while Diana didn't have anything else to do after dealing with Jiang Shanruis.

So when Nolan Locke invited him to stay a while longer, he didn't refuse and readily agreed. However, upon hearing that Locke wanted to perform human modifications on him, a look of surprise appeared on his face; it was something extremely unbelievable to him.

He never expected Nolan Locke to have such an impulsive decision. Human modification was something utterly unbelievable to him; he believed human strength was inherently limited. Nolan Locke possessed an incredibly powerful superpower that granted him immense strength.

In his view, this was more than enough, but it was clear that Nolan Locke was not satisfied with this power and wanted to increase it in other ways.

However, in his view, it was an extremely dangerous move. If it failed, Nolan Locke might die as a result, so he couldn't help but try to dissuade Nolan Locke.

"I think we should be more cautious about human experimentation, otherwise, if problems arise, the damage to you may be irreparable."

Nook laughed and then explained:

"Don't worry, this isn't the first time the human body has been used in this world. Besides, what I'm doing this time isn't actually a human experiment. I'm absolutely confident about this; all I need is some time. After all, as far as I know, there are still many troubles in Central City. If I get affected by external forces during this time, it might fail. That would be a terrible thing, so I hope you can stay here for a while to protect me and Locke Technology."

Upon hearing Nolan Locke's words, Wonder Woman's face suddenly flushed slightly.

Nolan Locke didn't care too much. After hearing Diana agree, Nolan Locke had already made the necessary preparations. He needed to prepare for his first upgrade.

He originally planned to find a new approach, but after some consideration, he ultimately chose the original approach. After all, although the previous method of switching had great limitations, it at least provided a mature route, and the cost was minimal and there was no danger involved. This was a completely controllable matter for him, requiring only resources, which he now had fully prepared.

Switching to other plans at this point might not be a good choice. The most important thing is that his current evolutionary path grants him immense power. Even if a transformation is needed later, his power will already be at the pinnacle of the universe, enough to solve many problems. After all, if other challenges arise under those circumstances, alternative methods must be adopted. With the same resources, he would never have the means to contend with his opponent, even though Nolan Locke doesn't yet possess sufficient strength.

However, he now clearly understands that his power has reached the pinnacle of a single universe, so he only needs to increase his power to that level to resolve most current issues. Other matters are beyond his current control; his current task is to continue traversing various worlds before addressing them. Without this, his power cannot be increased, as a single world can no longer sustain his growth. However, by continuously gathering power across different worlds...

He will naturally be able to improve to a certain extent, and his strength will reach an unprecedented level. Under such circumstances, he will be able to solve a lot of problems. One day, his strength will reach the level of the strongest in the multiverse. At that time, there will be no one who can fight him, which will be the best outcome for him.

However, all he needs to do now is to transform Xinjiang itself into a super soldier. After the first generation of super soldiers is transformed, all his powers will be able to withstand attacks from the enemy. At that time, his powers will not be as great as they are now, and he will not need to worry about them as much.

Furthermore, he was able to be more decisive when dealing with the Reverse-Lightning Tower. While Lanlock initially disliked Reverse-Lightning, he didn't currently intend to eliminate him, as dealing with Reverse-Lightning was no easy task. Although Reverse-Lightning's power wasn't particularly strong, his intelligence was unparalleled. In the history of this world, there weren't many who could surpass Reverse-Lightning in intelligence. However, dealing with the Reverse-Lightning Tower would be extremely difficult, not to mention that his own power was insufficient to contend with it. But now, Nolan Locke had other methods.

Since there are other ways, then solving what you want is naturally the best outcome. He doesn't want Barry Eren to grow under the influence of Reverse-Flash. Although the influence of Reverse-Flash didn't lead Barry Eren down a different path, for Luke Southeast, it would be a better outcome if Barry Eren could grow according to his own wishes, creating a completely different Barry Eren later on, if he were influenced by Reverse-Flash.

Therefore, Paris Eren's achievements will inevitably be quite limited. After all, for Reverse-Flash, its most important task is to control the growth of Barry Eren's power. If Paris Eren's power grows too quickly, it could cause changes in time for the entire world. However, such changes in time have already begun.

Or rather, the instant he traversed the universe and entered the past, the entire universe had already changed, and countless different timelines had intertwined. This is an unsolvable problem; under such circumstances, it's simply not something that can be easily resolved.

Nolan Locke's current plan is to deal with Reverse-Flash first, and then personally train him. He is completely different from Reverse-Flash; he possesses the strength of his own gun and also has an understanding of the Flash's power. Under such circumstances, he believes that the power of the Flash can be rapidly improved under his guidance. Although he doesn't have many relatives in this world, he has finally made some friends after spending time together.

Even if these relationships weren't particularly close, he didn't want anything to happen to his friends. Barry Allen's actions, however, made him someone he considered a friend within an organization. It must be said that superheroes are quite charismatic in this respect. While Nolan Locke didn't have much affection for these superheroes, he would inevitably become friends with any superhero he interacted with, even if only superficially. After all, their character was truly admirable; otherwise, they wouldn't be superheroes.

Although Nolan Locke is not a superhero, he sees himself as someone who follows his own will and doesn't care much about other things. Under such circumstances, it's quite normal for him to be influenced by superheroes, since no one would change in any other way because of such influences.

He acted in accordance with his own heart, and he was not a person of collective evil. He was just an ordinary person. It was perfectly normal for an ordinary person to become a superhero. Under such circumstances, Loran naturally had the intention of training the Flash, Barea Zero. Not only that, he even planned to befriend Superman and then obtain the right to trade in this world, since Superman's power was extremely strong.

If Superman isn't dealt with, the entire world's education system will be difficult to control. However, what the young lady is saying isn't an easy task either. Moreover, if he really kills Superman, it might not be a good thing for the world. After all, Superman possesses immense power, and he can't guarantee he'll stay in this world forever. If he kills Superman, the entire world might experience other terrible things because of him. Given Superman's immense power, resolving this situation won't be a simple matter.

If Superman dies, the entire world's crisis will require him to deal with it, but he doesn't have that confidence, nor does he have that time. So it's best to leave everything to Superman. What he needs to do now is to regain his power, bring it back to its peak, and then go even further until all his power is enough to contend with Superman, or even defeat him. At that point, he won't need to worry about anything else.

He could even forcefully promote his products in this world. For him, this was a very simple matter, and for those whose products he promoted, Nolan Locke did not think it was a bad thing. After all, he followed the way of a merchant. A merchant may manage things, but he doesn't necessarily harm people. Nolan Locke was just like that. The products he sold had absolutely top-notch effects and were an excellent choice for anyone.

So Nolan Locke had this idea, and this time what he did was start his own experiment to improve his time. He didn't want to spend any more time looking for other things, and if he were to be hindered by other things, it would be a bad thing for him. He didn't want to reach that point. Because Reverse-Flash might cause him some other trouble, after a brief communication with Barry Allen and the financial advisor he had previously endorsed, Nolan Locke immediately entered the experimental phase.

He was going to conduct the next experiment. He wanted to elevate himself to the level of the first-generation super soldiers. While the first-generation super soldiers weren't incredibly powerful, they possessed basic superhuman abilities. They not only had formidable defense but also formidable offensive power, and could also utilize dimensional data and wield immense strength. In that case, his power would be enough to contend with others, instead of relying solely on his superpowers in battle. If Nolan Locke combined all his superpowers, he could completely rival Barry Allen and Wonder Woman Diana from the day before yesterday.

However, neither of them understood what Nolan Locke was trying to achieve. In their view, modifying people through human experimentation was a very dangerous thing, especially Barry Allen, who had seen many scientific attempts and how many technology management agencies had modified people into something unrecognizable, or even created new problems. Naturally, he did not approve of Locke's actions, but he had no choice but to do so.

On the other side, Reverse-Flash quickly learned of Nolan Locke's involvement in the modification. Upon hearing this news, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He hadn't expected Nolan Locke to so openly modify him, and in his view, it was an extremely bad thing. After all, he had been researching the Flash's powers, using them to gain immense strength, which was a stable thing for him.

Moreover, this took a long time, and Nolan Locke was completely clueless about how to organize everything, which could potentially bring him great crisis. Therefore, what Nolan Locke said was a good thing for him, since it could make Locke's power even stronger. However, as long as his personality changed, it would be a good thing for Reverse-Flash.

So now he doesn't intend to stop Nolan Locke from doing whatever he wants, but he also has his own ideas, and he doesn't want things to be affected by other factors.

So after Paris Allen, the Flash, spoke about this, Reverse-Flash had already made his own decision.

He wouldn't interfere with Nolan Locke's affairs at this time, but he had made corresponding preparations. If Nolan Locke failed, he would absorb the entire Locke Technology. And if Locke succeeded, he wouldn't let Nolan Locke off the hook either.

They will either become enemies or friends; there is no third option.

Chapter 474

Barry Allen is naturally unaware of the historical events that occurred during his time undergoing transformation with Locke. Like those who followed him, Barry Allen has returned to a normal life and continues to be a superhero.

Although he had suffered extremely serious injuries, these injuries did not leave him with any lasting effects, and his regenerative abilities were exceptionally strong. Even after suffering so many injuries, he had already recovered to full health within a short period of time, thus returning to the path of a superhero. Moreover, by constantly monitoring his own strength, he could feel that his abilities were vastly different from before, and he was now far superior to his former self.

It was as if he had only lacked a belief before, and no one had provided it to him. Nolan Locke provided that belief, which allowed him to break through his previous limits and reach his current state. Now, he could feel that his speed was not only much faster than before, but his connection with the Speed ​​Force seemed much closer, and he could even see the people depicted in Speed ​​Force paintings. Your occasional appearances before him offered other benefits, but the merchant wasn't entirely clear on the specifics; he only had some guesses.

Reverse-Flash is indeed very aware of the Flash's progress. He cares far more than Alan had imagined, since the situation in the second round represents his future. Whatever he plans to do in the future, he needs to go through the process of getting things done by 8 o'clock. If 8 o'clock can still operate the vehicle, that would be an extremely bad thing for the real estate company. That's why he doesn't want to continue contacting Barea like those who did. Meanwhile...

Wonder Woman Diana also stayed in Central City during this time, specifically at Locke Technology. She was busy rescuing Central City from some troubles, cooperating with the Eighth Route Army, and learning about this world, since she had been isolated for too long.

Although he occasionally updates his intelligence database with news, this information ultimately doesn't provide him with much. There are still many things he doesn't understand, and he can only gradually learn about the situation through his current studies. And after this period of development...

He has gained enough understanding of this world and now believes he can continue living. However, Nolan Locke has not yet recovered from his seclusion. He is still modifying his body. After all, superhuman modification is not a simple matter. A modification process takes a long time, during which time the heavens and the earth have undergone tremendous changes.

Various powerful superheroes and supervillains began to appear, and the world seemed to be on the right track. Not long after, Nolan Locke finally awoke from his seclusion. He had once again modified his body, transforming it from an ordinary body into the body of a first-generation super soldier. Possessing the power of a first-generation super soldier, he was vastly different from before. Now, his power had surpassed the limits of human capability.

Even ton-sized items are useless to him; these small items are meaningless to him, as light as sticks.

This is the ability possessed by the first generation of super soldiers, and this is only the most basic ability. The first generation of super soldiers is just the second generation of super soldiers. The third generation of super soldiers is the basic version of the first generation of super soldiers. Only by possessing the first generation of super soldiers can they advance to the second generation of super soldiers. Once it becomes a second generation of super soldiers.

Then all his power would reach a certain limit. Even if someone went to his house, Diana probably wouldn't be able to compete with him. Nolan Locke had this confidence, but he still needed to accumulate more to reach that level. After all, his technology points were already severely insufficient. So, all he wanted to do now was to continue accumulating his extracurricular points and sell goods on Earth. Only by doing this could he expand his operations and perhaps only in this way could he support himself on the path to becoming a second-generation super soldier in a short period of time.

Meanwhile, Nolan Locke also began trying to contact God Paris and Aaron. After all, he knew about the situation at 8 o'clock over three days. As he had said before, he had decided to intervene in Paris's affairs. He hadn't planned to get involved in the 8 o'clock incident before, but after this period of war, he had other ideas. Originally, he didn't care about what Bariaren was, but after so much contact, he was increasingly moved by Paris and Aaron's actions. Although he could never do such a thing himself, he didn't mind helping such a person.

A good person has the right to do this. Although Locke felt that Barry Allen had even reached the point of being a pushover, for him, the existence of a good person was always better than that of a bad person. So, Locke directly checked the phone. But for the merchant, this was an extremely bad thing.

Reverse-Flash's expression turned extremely grim upon discovering Nolan Locke's contact with Barry Allen. He hadn't expected Locke to appear before Barry Allen at this crucial moment, meaning their previous agreement was no longer valid. They had previously agreed that Locke wouldn't investigate Barry Allen's affairs, and neither would he. This was a matter of Nolan Locke's involvement, but now he had broken that agreement, meaning he was about to take action against Barry Allen.

Even just thinking about that possibility.

Reverse-Flash's expression was extremely grim, because he was well aware that the situation had changed. Originally, he believed that Barry Allen was under his control and no one could surpass him. But now, Nolan Locke's control had surpassed his, and the situation was no longer as bad as before.

Now, dealing with Nolan Locke is no longer as simple as it used to be. Now, Locke possesses all of his power and is far too strong. Although he doesn't know what Nolan Locke was researching in seclusion before, he knows that Nolan Locke would never do anything useless. Therefore, he has come up with new ideas during this time.

He wanted to kill Nora. If he didn't want to kill Nora Locke, then other changes would inevitably occur in the future, which would be extremely bad for him. He couldn't accept such a thing, so he had already made the corresponding decision: no matter what, he would have to be here next time. If there is only one next time for Nolan, how can things be made much simpler?

The only problem now is how to build a multi-pronged approach and how to lure out the others. The previous battle had shown him that the others weren't so formidable, as they were all extremely vigilant. Under these circumstances, if he revealed even the slightest intention, they would all withdraw without hesitation, giving him no chance. At that point, he would inevitably revert to his previous state, making it impossible for him to find Norlock's local territory. In that situation, his plan to take down Locke next time would naturally become impossible. However, even knowing all this, resolving the situation would definitely not be easy.

The existence of Nolan Locke is a complete mystery; it can only roughly guess the location of Locke's true form. However, even now, with multiple robots frequently appearing in various locations, compared to the deceptive judgment of three days in Paris, Allen might have some understanding of Nolan Locke's situation, but Reverse-Flash is different. He can only judge which Nolan Lockes are fake based on what he knows, but even so, it takes too long.

He simply didn't have time to make a judgment. With that in mind, he directly set his sights on Kanda Barry Allen. Since he had a historical identity and no one knew about it, his first priority was to use Kanda Barry Allen to lure out Nolan Locke, and then use his Reverse-Flash identity to kill Nolan Locke.

Then this matter can be completely resolved. Although there are indeed some risks involved, for him, this is a necessary way to mitigate those risks. After all, he doesn't want to discover anything else. If he doesn't kill Nolan Locke here, then dealing with Nolan Locke will be an extremely difficult task. Therefore, he has made this decision.

Thinking of this, Reverse-Flash went straight to Barry Allen and said to him:

"Barry, do you know where Nolan Locke is? I want to meet with him about some technology matters. Locke Technology's strength is now very different from that of the international community. As far as I know, Locke Technology has discovered some new technologies that are very important for our New City Laboratory."

So I want to talk to him and see if we can cooperate. If we can cooperate, it would be a very good thing for us to try out something new.

Hearing Lightning's words, Eight Rings didn't question them. He didn't know the identity of "Your Missing One," and "Your Missing One" was currently hiding it perfectly, so he nodded and said:

“Lock is quite busy lately, so it’s not easy to find him. However, I can roughly guess what he’s doing. I can arrange a meeting between you two. Once you meet, we can naturally get these things done. If the new lab can cooperate with Locke Technology, that would be an excellent thing.”

Barry Allen was eagerly anticipating this, as both Lockheed Martin and Newtown Labs were of paramount importance to him. Lockheed Martin had given him his introductory path into the world of technology, while Newtown Labs had been a tremendous help, being where he had spent his time accumulating experience and refinement. Moreover, it was precisely because of the performance lab that his powers had been enhanced. If the two could cooperate...

That was naturally a fantastic thing for him, but he was unaware that Locke Technology and Newtown Labs had long been mortal enemies. He was completely oblivious to all of this. Lalock didn't hesitate after hearing Barry Allen's words.

Reverse-Flash was unaware that Nolan Locke already knew his identity, and thus remained wary of him. Now that Reverse-Flash had personally spoken to Paris Allen and even invited him to meet, it was highly likely that he intended to make moves against Nolan Locke. Therefore, Nolan Locke was well aware that something would inevitably happen after this battle, although he wasn't entirely sure of the extent of those events. However, Nolan Locke was prepared; if he wanted to do what he wanted, he would kill Reverse-Flash without hesitation right here and now.

Barry Allen would also be present, which would naturally be the simplest thing for him, without needing to consider any other issues. Without Paris, this matter would have become much more complicated, since he would need to solve the theoretical problem. If he couldn't explain it, he would be labeled a superhero and become known as Tiga. Not only that, but even the most mysterious might be implicated in such matters.

After all, Diana's stance has always been that of a good person. Although Nolan Locke doesn't think he's that bad, his true nature is completely different from his feelings. Nolan Locke follows his own theories, and for him, his own ideas are the most important. Even if he does some good deeds because of them, it's mainly because these good deeds happen to coincide with Locke's ideas. If Nolan Locke's ideas had nothing to do with these good deeds...

There was no intention to intervene at all. Under such circumstances, if someone were to notice Nolan Locke's intentions, things would naturally become very troublesome, and he didn't want to face such a thing. So, since he planned to establish Lightning this time, he was prepared for the next Reverse Lightning. This time, it could be said that both sides were going to work together. Locke and Nolan Locke also wanted to take this opportunity to see if they could kill Reverse Lightning.

Not long after, the two met at a coffee shop, arranged by Barry Allen.

In an instant, Reverse Flash had an alibi.

Seeing this, Nolan Locke laughed.

He knew, of course, that if Reverse-Flash were to make a move, he might not choose this time; he could even accomplish it through his future or past clones.

Chapter 475

"Long time no see, Mr. Nolan Locke."
