I'm making the Marvel Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 471 The Truth About Ninglu: Kang

Chapter 471 The Truth About Ninglu: Kang

Marvel's titanium is not one of DC's ten metals, but a symbiotic liquid metal. This liquid metal has certain anti-magic properties, and being liquid, it can be shaped at will and can combine with living organisms.

And this is the raw material needed for every Nimrod Sentinel.

"This is why the Nimrod Sentinels can't teleport themselves here. From a time perspective, the Hell's Edge isn't being mined on a large scale right now, and only one Hell's Edge can exist at any given time. This means that the titanium metal in Nimrod's body will conflict with the titanium metal in the Hell's Edge that hasn't been mined."

Strange explained to Peter and the others why Nimrod didn't send a fully-fledged Nimrod Sentinel like the Terminator did: he couldn't. He could only send a portion of his program or a regular Sentinel. But sending a regular Sentinel would basically be suicide.

Iliana asked the most basic question: "How did this thing get into the Borderlands?"

Then she saw Peter looking at her, and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Future Nimrod Sentinels will be able to replicate the X-gene of any mutant they come into contact with..."

Iliana suddenly realized, so it was because of her...?!

"So, the reason Nimrod will be able to mass-produce it in the future is because they will control the Hell's Frontier." Ignoring the bewildered Snowflake, Peter concluded, "But Iliana didn't sense any changes in the Hell's Frontier, so this iron metal was actually taken away much earlier, during the time of Velasco."

"There's another possibility," Strange said. "If I remember correctly, Doom also took some of the iron metal."

Peter shook his head. He didn't think it was Doom's doing. To put it bluntly, Doom had no reason or need to do it. AIM, or rather Hydra, couldn't really offer Doom what he needed. If Hydra intended to rule the world, Doom might even stand against them.

"If it was Velasco, why would he give this thing to Hydra and AIM?"

Thor's question silenced everyone. After all, it seemed reasonable for Velasco to cooperate with Hydra—a demon and Hydra reaching an agreement. But something still felt off. If AIM had never been to Limbo, how did they know about the properties of this metal? And without scientists, how did Velasco know that Hydra and AIM needed it?

"It's like there's someone in the middle who knows about Hydra's existence, is facilitating their path, and also knows about the properties of iron. And this person must have been to the frontier of hell."

Peter scratched his head and began to list the possible identities using a process of elimination: "The X-Men are definitely not it, the rest of the Limbo crew aren't it either, Doom isn't it, Velasco doesn't understand science, and the rest..."

and many more……?

"I remember now, I saw Kang the Conqueror at Limbo!" Peter suddenly realized. "That guy claimed to be an immortal and was working with Velasco. He was the one who stopped the X-Men in time!"

Now everything is connected.

Does Kang know about Hydra and AIM? It's hard to say, but it's highly likely. He's also the most likely person to connect all of this. How Bishop from Earth-811 traveled through time is still unknown. How Nimrod came to Earth-616, which is a possible past, is also unknown. As for time travel, Peter only knows that one person can manipulate time so easily.

Only Kang.

And what was the purpose of Kang's last appearance? It was to create a super artificial intelligence. He first guided the Green Goblin AI to emerge, and then, after discovering that the Green Goblin AI did not meet expectations, he guided Pym to upgrade Ultron. The same applies to Nimrod this time. The Nimrod of Earth 616 was not born, while the Nimrod of Earth 811, which had already destroyed the entire world, was lured here by Kang.

"He must be planning something, but we know nothing about it..."

Peter frowned and pondered: "Whether he has achieved his goal or not, we don't know."

"What we should be considering now is how much iron metal Kang took away, enough to manufacture a few more Nimrod Sentinels. If the quantity is limited, we will have enough time to completely defeat Nimrod in our timeline."

-

"So the next question is, how much of this metal is still usable, and how much can be used to make Nimrod Sentinels?" Tony wrote the third key point on the glass: "If we can figure this out, we can probably figure out the urgency of Project Nimrod, and how it plans to operate and where it plans to operate."

"I have been closely monitoring the laboratory where the Molten Men were researching those liquid metals. But unfortunately, one of their managers, Mr. Griffin, sold all the related products. For now, we can confirm that Mr. Griffin's buyer is Hydra, so..."

Tony paused, then looked at his teammates: "The only people who might know the answer are Hydra."

"We can't expect Hydra to tell us the answer, can we?" After listening to Tony's explanation, Bumblebee subconsciously asked, then, seeing Tony's expression, asked in surprise, "Wait, we're not really planning to let Hydra tell us, are we?"

"We've captured Janet, the former top commander of Hydra, and we need answers."

As Tony spoke, he glanced at the mansion prison on the table.

At that very moment, inside the mansion prison, Captain America and Black Panther arrived outside Baron Strucker's cell. The Baron, who was reading a book, smiled and closed it: "What's up, Captain America? Has my death sentence been handed down?"

"They'll be down soon, Strucker, but before that, we need to know one thing."

"You know the rules of Hydra, Captain."

"It has nothing to do with Hydra." The captain looked at Strucker, whose legs had been severed, in the cell: "Where is Hydra storing the liquid metal that the Molten Man uses to control his body?"

"..."

T'Challa took a step forward and looked at Strucker: "We are dealing with a completely new enemy, an enemy of humanity, Strucker. An artificial intelligence that has accomplished what Hydra could not: enslaving and destroying all of humanity."

"And Hydra just happens to have an opportunity to stop an artificial intelligence from doing all this in place of Hydra."
