Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 170: Terraform

Soon Lex met with the Nova Prime and even with the council. Lex pitched his ideas of establishing a company and then having a strategic, military and profitable technology exchange with the Empire. Lex even showed a glimpse of all the technology that their spaceships could provide and even said that their spaceships don't need jumping points to travel.

This astonished the scientists and the council members. They have never heard of any technology that could do that. At first the council members weren't really interested in this whole business settlement as they felt the scientists had exaggerated the technology of this new spaceship but now they knew this was a game changer.

"We will surely give you enough freedom for the establishment of the company and this would be very much profitable for the empire and even in future if your company needs to expand it's business outside the empire you can do so." Nova Prime said.

"Yes that's the long term plan. For now let's focus on the empire." Lex replied.

After discussing all the matters Lex and Victor went to the new mansion that John had moved to.

"How was the deal? Is everything good?" John asked as they entered the home.

"Yes. Though I feel some of their eyes weren't so good." Lex said.

"Yes. One of the council member's heartbeat was pretty much high during the whole deal. It was unnatural." Victor said.

"Is it? Another political drama? Everywhere people resist change. Well Lex you are an underworld don. Make your own empire here. Both in light and in dark. Just don't hurt innocent. That's the bottom line. I will handle the political attacks." John said to Lex.

"I understand. Will take time but I can do it."

Lex then proceeded to speak about the deal that they have made. Victor too pitched his own assessment on it. John didn't pay much attention as he didn't care about it.

The next few days went like a storm. Lex and Victor were out everyday directing the establishment of the new company while John was having a good time. He even contacted Tony and Steve to find out what was going on Mars.

After few days of John leaving, Tony started the world engine. It was estimated that it would take a month to terraform Mars. The governments soon got to know that there was an world engine in Mars and Tony had just switched it on.

Now all the governments got scared. Through SHIELD they contacted Tony and asked him to hand over the world engine as it was a mass destruction weapon. Tony just said that he didn't know how to move the world engine from it's place and could only configure it to copy the environment of Earth.

Of course the governments didn't believe him but the thing is since Tony said that it was a high level technology and no pilots on earth could operate it even if it was given to them. Even though they didn't believe him, but since he was arrogant when he said that, it meant it was probably true. And secondly they can't force Tony to bring the world engine to Earth.

Bruce being the secretary of SHIELD said that Tony will never bring the world engine to earth and it will continue to be there in Mars. He even said that Tony and John would soon try to colonize Mars since the world engine process had already started. Bruce wanted SHIELD to establish a branch there so he needed to be straightforward with the council.

The council understood what Bruce wanted and gave permission to SHIELD to start this process. Fury too was happy to get this order as this would mean SHIELD being ahead of everyone and even fly to space.

John was happy to know all this, though he knew he has to face a storm when he returns to Earth but he didn't care. He had enough power now. After Bruce sat in the Secretary position, SHIELD had started infiltrating in almost all walks of life. Thanks to the ninjas and more power given to SHIELD. John wanted this to happen from the beginning and since the ninjas were under him almost everything was under his control.

Even though only half of SHIELD was now ninjas, in power wise they were more powerful. John didn't even care if SHIELD had skrulls hiding inside now.

A month went without any major changes in the plan of Lex in the establishment of the company and surprisingly they didn't face any opposition. John was expecting a roadblock but there were none.

He even expected political assassination but there was still no sign of that. Victor kept an eye on all of this but was surprised there was acute silence everywhere.

"Did I understand the universe wrongly? I imagined it to be more chaotic."

And then one day a bad news came, and the 'expected' attack was much bigger than he expected.
