Los Angeles, a branch of Stark Industries, is surrounded by impoverished citizens.
Stark Industries is recruiting armed security personnel from all citizens.
The unemployment rate in the entire city of Los Angeles is now high. Many people have fled to Los Angeles penniless. Because they have no jobs, they can only sleep on the streets and survive on very little relief food.
If the mayor had not controlled the police and the National Guard, these hungry and cold citizens would have taken to the streets to vent their dissatisfaction. Even so, the conflict between the two sides has reached its limit and can be ignited with just a spark.
Stark Industries' recruitment gave these people hope for returning to normal life, and they came to apply.
The staff was busy receiving the resumes and asked Jarvis to enter them for review.
Tony Stark stood in his office on the top floor of a skyscraper, watching the recruitment below.
The power armor he brought back was originally intended to be donated to the Los Angeles City Government to be used to arm the National Guard and the army to eliminate the demons and mutant creatures.
But the mayor of Los Angeles really disappointed him. Handing over these powered exoskeletons to the mayor might make him even more unscrupulous.
In this case, he prepared to form his own armed forces.
As the world's largest arms dealer, Stark Industries has dealt with security contractors many times, and Blackwater is one of their major customers. It is not difficult to form an armed force.
Moreover, most of the people who can escape from the wilderness to Los Angeles have some skills. At least their marksmanship is not too bad. With a little training, they can become an armed force that is capable of bringing stability to Los Angeles.
Tony Stark even planned to use this armed force to integrate all the cities on the West Coast and restore pre-war order.
"Tony! Tony!"
Pepper suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in excitedly.
"what happened?"
Tony Stark instantly became alert.
"watch TV!"
Pepper turned on the TV first.
Today, most of the television networks have been paralyzed. Only a few are still operating. However, most of them only broadcast some flashy news, such as the US military is winning victory after victory and major cities are in order and peace. There is not much useful information.
The TV lit up, and Broly's figure sitting on the throne appeared on the screen. Behind him were the busy Cybertronians, who were building an arena for the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament.
"Everyone, I'm Broly, a Saiyan. One year from now, I will host an interesting game. Whether you are an Earthling, an alien, or a non-human being, you can come and participate in this game. The winner will get this."
Broly holds a dragon ball:
"Dragon Ball, as long as you chant the spell, you can make any wish come true, whether it's immortality or becoming the king of the universe, it's all possible.
To prove that I am not kidding, one day later, I will launch a Qigong bomb to the star field at the cosmic coordinates 347.82.19.8761. I will use my strength to prove that this is not a joke. "
The video was played on loop on TV.
Tony Stark was watching TV in a daze. His recent experiences had made him much more resilient, but the existence of a wishing machine was beyond his comprehension.
... ...
... ...
On Xandar, Peter Quill looked at the video on the portable screen in shock.
"Has Thanos been fooled? Broadcasting this joke-like video to the entire universe. Dragon Ball? Broly? Who would care about this unknown person's game?"
He squeezed the Cosmic Spirit Ball in his pocket, ready to find an opportunity to sell this stolen treasure.
Suddenly, the video that had been looping changed.
Broly stood on a vibranium platform.
"drink!"
He transformed into a Super Saiyan, with golden-green aura burning around him.
"That's a good trick."
Peter Quill continued reading.
Broly increased his energy to the limit, and even the vibranium on the ground was unable to absorb the huge amount of energy that was released, and began to vibrate violently.
"Kameha!"
The next moment, the entire screen was instantly covered by a blinding flash, and Peter Quill was so frightened that he dropped the portable screen directly to the ground.
"Damn it, what the hell!"
He felt really stupid for spending so much time drawing on this boring video.
After putting away the Cosmic Spirit Ball, Peter prepared to go to the agreed trading location to sell it. But before he could take a few steps, Xandar was immediately covered by a series of alarms. The red alarm screen covered all the screens that were playing videos.
"Alert! Alert! A huge unknown energy explosion has been detected in the star field at coordinates 347.82.19.8761. It is estimated that in one hour, twenty-three minutes and forty-five seconds, Xandar will be able to see flashes that are strong enough to cause permanent damage to vision. Citizens, please do not look directly at the sky!"
Peter's body stiffened suddenly. He was very familiar with this coordinate. It was exactly the coordinate he had just seen in the video.
"How is this possible... A dragon ball that can grant any wish..."
He suddenly remembered his mother lying on the hospital bed, dying.
... ...
... ...
Half the world saw the beam of light that exploded into the sky. Thanos stood there, trembling as he watched Broly's full-strength output.
Because he had a grudge against Xandar, he deliberately provided a coordinate not far from Xandar.
"The Xandar people are one of the most powerful civilizations in the universe. As long as they observe the power of Kamehameha, it won't be long before everyone in the universe knows about it."
This is what he said to Broly at the time. He also wanted to use this to test Broly's strength. The coordinates 347.82.19.8761 are not far from Xandar, but too far from Earth. Without the ability to attack across the stars, there is no way to project the power anywhere.
If Broly didn't have such ability, he could just find an opportunity to steal the Dragon Balls and run away. As long as he escaped from the earth and hid in the vast universe, Broly would never be able to find him.
But now, his plan was like a candle in the wind, extinguished in an instant.
Because Broly's attack directly jumped through space when it flew out of the atmosphere, it instantly reached the coordinates 347.82.19.8761.
"Black Dwarf, have you observed the energy of the explosion?"
Thanos secretly contacted his subordinates.
But there was only rustling on the other end of the call.
"Sorry, Lord Thanos, Black Dwarf is dead..."
Not long after, Dark Night Proxima connected to the communication, and her frightened voice rang out. Black Dwarf underestimated the power of Kamehameha explosion and was directly swept into the aftermath, leaving no trace.
"The ninth and tenth planets in the Xandar system disappeared directly. The eighth planet collapsed and was blown off its orbit by the shock wave. The explosion directly affected the sixth planet. The indirect impact still needs to be observed."
