Chapter 182 Difficult Situation and the Sokovia Accords

New Avengers Tower – War Room
"Who is he?"

The holographic projection freezes at the moment when Link cuts off the head of the Zombie Virus infected creature with a single knife.

With his eyes narrowed, Nick Fury spoke in a deep voice,
"Perhaps, like Mr. Link from Cybertron? A visitor from another world?"

Tony Stark's eyes were shining with a blue light, and his eyes were fixed on the holographic image of Link using the strange armor.
"…How on earth was this done?"

"The elemental powers of earth, wind, water and fire?!"

"It's unbelievable."

Obviously, Tony Stark was keenly aware of the mysterious power of Link's strange armor, which aroused his considerable interest.

Moreover, during this time, Tony Stark also deepened the research process of the Iron Man suit, constantly trying and researching new directions.
Such a refreshing new power would naturally make Tony Stark obsessed with it and constantly analyze it.

Captain America Steve Rogers, with a bandage wrapped around his face and pale, sat in a chair, silent and without saying much.
Although Link held back, the powerful force still broke Steve Rogers' ribs, caused internal bleeding, and injured bones, even though he possessed extraordinary physical fitness and strength.
But thanks to the super soldier serum for the strong physical fitness and recovery ability,

It also allowed ordinary people to walk and participate in this impromptu combat meeting after just a few days of injuries that would take months or even years to recover from.

At this time, Tony Stark also spoke up.
"But I think he's right about one thing - it's right to kill these non-human monsters."

Hearing this, Steve Rogers raised his head suddenly.

"No!"

"I absolutely do not agree with what he did!"

"Is his "justice" to kill without scruples?!"

Seeing that Tony Stark and Steve Rogers are about to have a new quarrel,
Nick Fury rubbed his temples with a headache and spoke in a deep voice,
"Okay, stop arguing. What we should be more concerned about now is another more difficult matter!"

As Nick Fury finished speaking, Adjutant Hill beside him quickly operated the computer.

The holographic projection image changed, and it turned out to be a global news broadcast channel.

The title and the host's excited words made the originally calm Avengers change their expressions.
Only Tony Stark remained calm on the surface.
Because just before attending this meeting, he encountered a similar situation, and Tony Stark already knew what would happen next.

"Sue the Avengers, fight violence globally"

"Last week, eleven innocent people were killed in a fierce battle between the Avengers and a group of mercenaries,"

"Innocent people died tragically not only because of the criminals' crimes, but also because of the indifference of those who tried to stop the crimes,"

"A victory achieved at the expense of innocent people is no victory at all!"

"Mourning for the victims of Sokovia!"

……

After watching the news, all the Avengers were silent, with different expressions.
The operation in Lagos did not end there. It was not just the virus infected body brought by Brock Rumlow.

More often than not, a group of extremely vicious mercenaries used tactical vests loaded with explosives to cause trouble in crowded places.
The people who participated in this operation tried their best but failed to do better. The explosion of the bomb caused innocent casualties.

Wanda looked at the screen, which kept accusing herself, and lowered her head in self-blame.
The Avengers who participated in this operation were also somewhat dazed.
"These are our responsibilities, our jobs," "We try to save as many people as possible, but sometimes we can't save everyone. If we can't accept this, then next time... maybe we won't be able to save anyone."

A heavy atmosphere began to spread in the meeting room.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The Avengers in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment. It was obvious that the person who could intervene in their meeting at this time was definitely not an ordinary person.

Moreover, Steve Rogers had already sensed something was wrong.
The door of the conference room was slowly pushed open, and a man in a suit and tie with a professional smile on his face walked in.

This is a face that often appears on TV. It is a spokesperson launched by the American authorities. Congressman Matt
His appearance made many Avengers feel a little surprised, but Tony Stark was the only one who did not show any surprise, because they had already discussed with him before.

This also made the atmosphere in the conference room somewhat uncomfortable, but under that extremely hypocritical face and enthusiastic words, no one showed any impatience.
"The whole world owes the Avengers a favor they can never repay!"

"You saved the world!"

"You fought for us and defended justice with your lives,"

"Many people see you as heroes, but some people prefer the term 'vigilantes'."

Black Widow Natasha took the lead in taking over the conversation.

"What words would you use to describe us, Mr. Congressman?"

Councillor Matt changed the subject and his words became sharper.
"Dangerous, how?"

“How would you describe a group of capability enhancers stationed in America?”

"Habitual disregard for the law, sovereignty?"

"You are not restricted by rules and regulations. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want."

"They seem to care nothing about the consequences."

Then, with an increasingly excited tone, Senator Matt signaled that the holographic projection behind him began to play the scenes of the Avengers' battles over the years.
And the devastation and tragic scenes caused.

"New York, Washington, Sokovia...Lagos..."

"Over the past few years, you have used your dangerous power without restraint,"

"The world's governments can no longer tolerate this situation,"

"You must give an explanation to the whole world!"

The sonorous and powerful words echoed in the ears of the Avengers, like a hammer hitting their hearts.
"But there is a solution,"

As he spoke, Senator Matt took several documents from his entourage and handed them to the Avengers.

"[Sokovia Accords]"

"This agreement specifies in detail that from now on, the Avengers will no longer be a private organization, but an organization that needs to be regulated by the government and allowed to take action!"
