Chapter 72: America's departure, Tony Stark's declaration of war

America Chavez is leaving.

At the Umbrella Experimental Site, America Chavez thanked Nathan Hawke and Sengoku Lingma: "Thank you, Nathan and Sengoku Lingma, for taking care of me during this time."

America Chavez's eyes revealed deep reluctance. Although she had not had much in-depth contact with Nathan Hawke and his companions since coming to this world, the time she spent in this world could be said to be the most stable, comfortable and enjoyable time.

This also made America Chavez even more determined to leave.

"Are you really not considering wearing the Eisenak armor?" Zhan Ji Lingma asked.

America Chavez shook her head firmly and said, "No, I need to practice my abilities well."

"Well, you have to wear this." Zhan Ji Ling Ma threw an artificial intelligence watch over, and after seeing the other party take it, he said, "It's considered a weak artificial intelligence. There's nothing I can do. I can't turn you into an artificial intelligence with this size."

"Thank you, thank you so much," said America Chavez.

Nathan Hawke glanced at Zhan Ji Ling Ma, and Zhan Ji Ling Ma tilted his head at him.

After watching America Chavez fail to open the portal five times and finally open it on the sixth try with an embarrassed look on her face, Nathan Hawke waved goodbye and said, "Come often when you have time."

Upon hearing this, America Chavez staggered and then shook her arms vigorously to say goodbye to the two of them.

After sending America Chavez away.

Zhan Ji Lingma motioned Nathan Hawke to join him. Nathan Hawke was also curious about what this guy was doing.

Sitting on the sofa in the experimental site, facing Nathan Hawke, Zhan Ji Ling Ma began to tell him what he knew about the theories of parallel universes and multiverses.

"Boss, you told me that there are parallel universes in this world. I was skeptical at first. But as I lived in this world longer and longer, I became interested in this concept and did some research," said Zhan Ji Lingma.

He leaned back on the sofa, looking relaxed and confident, and continued, "According to the theory I know, parallel universes refer to multiple universes that are similar to our universe but independent of each other. Each parallel universe has a different history, different decisions and choices, and different developments in reality."

"So, every choice and decision leads to a different branching universe," said Nathan Hawke.

Zhan Ji Ling Ma nodded: "Yes, every possible choice will produce a branch universe. For example, at a certain point in time, you can choose to go left or go right. These two choices will lead to two different parallel universes. You go left in one universe and go right in the other."

"That means there are countless parallel universes, each with a different reality."

"According to the theory, the number of parallel universes is almost infinite. Each universe is an independent reality, containing its own unique history, civilization and life forms. These universes exist in parallel with each other and do not interfere with each other."

"Then, are these parallel universes able to communicate with each other?" Zhan Ji Lingma raised another question.

Zhan Ji Ling Ma thought for a moment: "According to current research, the possibility of communication between parallel universes exists, but to achieve such communication, specific energy or technology is required. In the real world, we have not found conclusive evidence to prove whether parallel universes can really connect to each other."

"Ling Ma, what specific research and understanding do you have about parallel universes?" Nathan Hawke asked curiously.

Zhan Ji Ling Ma smiled and said, "Boss, I have studied many theories and stories about parallel universes. Some theories believe that parallel universes may be intertwined and influence each other, like a complex spider web, with each node connected to countless branches. Some stories depict adventures across parallel universes, where people can enter other universes in some way and explore different realities and worlds."

"By the way, you said America needs to develop her abilities. What do you think of her potential?" Nathan Hawke suddenly remembered the previous topic.

Zhan Ji Ling Ma suddenly became a little mysterious: "Boss, America is a very special existence. Her ability is very special. She can travel between different parallel universes. Her ability allows her to travel freely between different parallel universes. She can go to other universes to find resources, and she can also learn about the knowledge and technology of other universes."

"This is truly an amazing ability," Nathan Hawke exclaimed. "She is a very talented person with great potential."

"But her sense of justice won't allow her to do such a thing." Nathan Hawke shook his head.

"Yes, I think so too. She is a very special girl, and I believe she will achieve great things in the future." said Zhan Ji Lingma.

The two paused their discussion on this topic.

"Tell me, did you add private stuff into the watch?" He was familiar with Zhan Ji Lingma's character and was sure that the other party had added private stuff into the watch.

When Sengoku Lingma heard what Nathan Hawke said, he smiled mysteriously. "The boss really knows me."

"Of course." Nathan Hawke also smiled, "But what are you doing?"

Zhan Ji Ling Ma pulled out a microchip from his pocket and said with a smile, "I added this chip to the watch. It is a device used to store and transmit information. America is leaving now, and I think leaving this chip in her watch can help her better explore other parallel universes and obtain more resources and knowledge."

"Then you have to pray that the other party will not damage the watch and can come back in the future."

"Hey, just a little backhand."

Next is another topic.

"RIS?" Zhan Ji Lingma looked surprised, then walked to his command room.

"A wise man."

"I'm here, Mr. Zhan Ji Lingma." An electronic synthesized voice rang out, and then a pixel-style robot face appeared on the screen.

"Is our artificial intelligence deployed?" said Nathan Hawke after seeing this scene.

"The headquarters has almost finished its deployment. We are just waiting for the European branch." After Zhan Ji Ling Ma replied, he said to the wise man, "Collect the latest news from RIS."

The wise man immediately showed the latest news from RIS.

"According to the latest intelligence, RIS has recently begun investigating a company called 'Stark Group' regarding the company's tax issues. They suspect that Stark Group has committed tax violations and are stepping up their investigation."

"Tony Stark's company was also approached by RIS?" Nathan Hawke was unaware of this.

"Yes, according to the records this morning, after RIS approached the Stark Group, Tony Stark issued a declaration of war to the terrorist militants 'Mandalin' in front of the camera." The wise man replied.

"Is there a video?" Nathan Hawke said.

"Yes, President Nathan Hawke." The wise man answered and then played a video.

In the video, he stood in front of the main entrance of Stark Group, and reporters were holding various recorders and cameras, eagerly asking questions about the RIS investigation and the Mandarin declaration of war.

Amid the noise, reporters asked questions.

"Mr. Stark, we heard that RIS is conducting a tax investigation into the Stark Group. What is your response?"

Tony Stark smiled and looked very calm. He nodded slightly and replied, "We will fully cooperate with the RIS investigation and ensure that all tax documents and information are compliant. As a responsible company, Stark Group has always complied with all tax laws and regulations."

"So, do you think this investigation is a deliberate attempt by someone to frame the Stark Group?" another reporter asked.

Tony smiled and shook his head. "We will not speculate on other people's intentions. RIS is a professional organization, and they launched the investigation to ensure the transparency and fairness of taxation. We believe that they will handle this matter seriously and find out the truth."

When asked about the Mandarin's declaration of war, Tony Stark's expression became serious. He said in a firm voice: "We cannot tolerate the existence of terrorist militants. Their actions have caused harm to innocent people. I will cooperate with the government and take all necessary measures to protect the security of the country and the people."

As for the disparagement of War Machine and Iron Man, Tony Stark responded with a smile: "People always have different views and opinions. I believe that my actions and decisions will slap him in the face in the end."

After finishing the reporters' questions, Tony Stark turned to the camera, his expression gradually becoming angry and determined. He did not evade, but began to issue a challenge to the Mandarin without hesitation.

Tony Stark clenched his fists, his eyes became sharp and firm: "Mandarin, you think you can threaten our country and our people, you are wrong! I am Iron Man, I represent justice and freedom, I will not let your evil deeds succeed."

"You dare to challenge America, our lives and values, I will never let you go! I will find you personally and make you pay the price, make you pay a heavy price for your crimes!" Tony Stark's voice was full of anger and determination.

"I'm giving you a final warning. Your conspiracy will not succeed and your terrorist organization will be completely destroyed! I will protect my family, my friends and the entire country, no matter what the cost!" Tony Stark's words were full of majesty and power.

Then Wan'er smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, my home address is Malibu Street, zip code."

Although Tony Stark's last words were answered with a smiling expression, the atmosphere at the scene was solemn and tense, and the reporters also felt Tony Stark's determination and anger. They knew that this was no longer an ordinary news report, but a real battle against terrorism.
