Chapter 1891 - Uncle Phil's "Congratulations"

Elena quickly relaxed at his gentle words.

Although her previous drawings of the future had become a reality, the worst case scenarios hadn't happened, so she trusted Luke.

Luke only needed to guide her mind a little to reassure her.

Rubbing the artist's smooth waist, he couldn't help but sigh. Fine, Golden Gate Bridge! It seems there's no way to protect you after all.

Based on how most films were good at destroying famous structures, a famous landmark like the Golden Gate Bridge should have been destroyed long ago.

Yet, it had actually survived until 2011 safely, in no small part thanks to Luke's 'protection.'

This calamity? It definitely wouldn't be nothing.

Luke then asked Elena about the two drawings.

As the artist, she would be more aware of the details.

The strange thing about Foresight Drawing was that Elena didn't really 'see' the future, but expressed a particular moment through her drawing.

She knew what she wanted to express in her drawing, but was unable to supply more specific information.

But this was a foresight ability, after all. Anything was better than nothing.

After an hour of questioning, Luke stopped and sent Elena back to her place in New Jersey.

When her foresight kicked in, she had gotten up in the middle of the night to draw.

When she realized that the situation might be serious, she immediately took the private plane back. She had been on edge and didn't sleep well.

After she came back, she tried her best for an hour to recall what happened. She wasn't an all-nighter like Luke, and was really tired.

Luke didn't go to work. Instead, he lay down with Elena.

The two clones had already started to get busy, and Luke didn't need to do anything.

Selina, who was on vacation in Europe with her family, had also been informed, and was bringing them back.

Nobody knew where the giant octopus was. Staying in Europe, which was surrounded by the ocean on many sides, wasn't a good choice. It was safest for them to return to Shackelford.

That was also why Luke hadn't persuaded his family to move out of the town.

Shackelford was inland and didn't have any big cities or important institutions.

To use the worst case scenario as an illustration, if a nuclear war broke out around the world, it wasn't worth targeting Shackelford.

By the same logic, terrorists wouldn't choose Shackelford as a target either.

At that moment, the Bat Squad and the Avengers received danger alerts.

It was easy to explain the giant octopus. After all, Luke had beaten it up twice, and there was information in the database on it.

On the other hand, he couldn't explain how he had gotten information on the bat-winged monster in San Francisco, so everybody could only trust Batman.

Unfortunately, Thor had returned to Asgard, and seemed to be busy with his own thing.

It wasn't like he could drop everything and rush back over some unconfirmed intelligence.

However, Thor's absence didn't affect everyone's preparations.

A few hours later, Selina's plane landed in New York. Luke used his ability to make Elena sleep more soundly before he went home.

When they met, Luke told Selina that he was certain about the information, and that there basically couldn't be any mistake.

He told her that the information source was confidential, so Selina didn't ask further.

That was because there were indeed many strange abilities in the world that could be used to track people down.

The most important thing with classified information was to keep the source as confidential as possible in order to prevent leaks.

That was also why most of the team was deployed in the form of the remote control androids.

In any case, the androids generally didn't look any different from real people.

According to the Foresight Drawing, San Francisco was clearly where the incident would take place, while the giant octopus's whereabouts were unknown.

Big Dipper and the bald female bigshot had been the only ones in the giant octopus drawing, which seemed to confirm that it was likely nobody else would be there.

The city of San Francisco was present in the drawing.

Protecting civilians was what the Avengers and the Bat Squad had always been about, and the most important thing was manpower.

Luke simply deployed most of them to San Francisco so that they could act at any moment.

The Level 1 clone had already headed over to deposit the androids and gear on-site.

Selina also mobilized the PDD's resources to prepare for a possible major incident in San Francisco.

Mr. Eddie/Venom, who was now officially in charge of the PDD, valiantly took on the great responsibility of helping to deal with a lot of the work.

After years of training and guidance, although Eddie was still a little nuts, he was reliable enough when it came to official matters.

Of course, a certain dog head had already mocked him many times, saying that he had definitely been led astray by that brainless Venom

Luke and Selina could only look at the dog head with indecipherable expressions.

After all, biologically speaking, the symbiotes as a race didn't have any brains.

Quickly deploying manpower and resources, Luke calculated everything in his heart.

Whenever Elena finished a Foresight Drawing, it would basically become reality in a week, and usually within three to five days.

Almost a day had passed, so something would likely happen in two days at the earliest.

Thinking about the giant octopus and the bat-winged monster in the drawings, he could only hope that they didn't happen at the same time, or he and his two clones might not be enough.

At that moment, he suddenly missed Dr. Banner.

With this guy around, he could throw the Hulk out to catch the other party off guard at the very least, Plus, the Hulk definitely wouldn't die.

While he was busy, Luke wondered if he should look for the baldie at 177a Bleecker Street.

In the end, he decided not to.

He didn't know exactly what the other party's background was.

What could he say in a situation where he didn't know anything?

Should he tell the other party that he had foreseen that the two of them would face off against a giant octopus together?

Putting aside whether the other party believed him or not, he didn't want to reveal Elena's foresight ability.

This ability was extremely dangerous for both those who had it and those who knew of it; otherwise, he would've already told Selina about it.

…

Compared with the Bat Squad members who just geared up after receiving the order, it was a little more troublesome on the Avengers side.

Tony, this curious 'man child,' had asked about the source more than ten times, including the bat-winged monster's distinctive characteristics, habits and purpose.

Luke could only say that it was "classified."

Selina couldn't be bothered with this nonsense, but Tony continued asking questions even though he knew that Knight wouldn't say anything.

If Luke hadn't long learned how to turn a deaf ear to Wade's nonsense, he would've definitely beaten Tony up.

While he was busy, Uncle Phil sent him a "Congratulations" message on 4 January 2011.

The message was very simple. New SHIELD's base had hit the jackpot and had run into the giant octopus northeast of Iceland in the Norwegian Sea.

That was indeed good news.

That was because the giant octopus hadn't destroyed the underwater base, but had brushed past the seabed 15 kilometers away.
