Heroes of Marvel
chapter-1164

After the E Grade Spaceship and the Milano had both disappeared, the small, pure white Spaceship that had remained motionless after being transported suddenly emitted a faint white light, as if it had been activated. Subsequently, the small oval-shaped Spaceship vibrated internally and swiftly flew in a direction that was not toward Earth.

Inside the accelerating oval white Spaceship, an unusual-looking woman controlled its movement. She had two long, soft antennae on her head, large, dark eyes that looked somewhat intimidating, and belonged to a unique species.

This woman was Mantis, whom Ego had taken in. Ego hadn’t come alone; he had brought this special member along.

However, after being transported away by the Ancient One, Mantis had not contacted either the Earth side or the Guardian of the Galaxy side. She had merely deactivated the Spaceship to prevent external detection. Only after the E Grade Spaceship and the Milano had left did Mantis reopen the Spaceship.

Once she had determined her location, Mantis flew towards the previous battlefield. Although she had learned much about Ego, who had adopted her a long time ago, she couldn’t break free from him at present. So, when Ego and Dormammu clashed, Mantis had no choice but to return.

However, even though Mantis piloted the Spaceship quickly towards the recent battlefield, her insect-like face wore a complex expression, as if she were burdened by something. While her expression was complicated, the two long antennae on her head wiggled about.

Swoosh!

Not long after the E Grade Spaceship and the Milano had vanished, this small pure white Spaceship accelerated and entered Warp flight, disappearing into the cosmic expanse.

…

On Earth, as Tony and the others piloted the E Grade Spaceship out of the planet, the commotion was significant enough to attract the attention of other factions besides SHIELD, Stark, and the X-Men.

A Spaceship of that size, even though the location of Stark’s base was well-hidden and J.A.R.V.I.S had concealed the events in various ways, was enough to be noticed by nearby interested parties.

For instance, Scott Lang, also known as Ant-Man, who had infiltrated the base previously, had been monitoring the secret base ever since. Although J.A.R.V.I.S was aware of Ant-Man’s ability to shrink objects, and defenses had been strengthened, the tiny insects in the grass outside the base, in the bushes, couldn’t all be eliminated.

So, when the sci-fi-shaped Spaceship suddenly rose from the base, small insects hiding at various angles around the base used micro cameras on their bodies to transmit these scenes.

The backend system connecting these cameras was in a secret underground chamber, where an entire wall was covered with square screens displaying the visuals seen by each insect outside.

Boom!

As Lin Rui, suspended in mid-air, used the power of the Magic Cube to tear open a stable spatial rift, the intense spatial fluctuations couldn’t be stopped and spread outward directly. The insects near the base sensed the threat acutely and fled in every direction.

“Me!… Darn it!!!… What’s this?!” Just as those insects outside the base were panicking and running to the outskirts, a voice of disbelief suddenly came from the secret chamber filled with monitoring screens.

At this moment, Scott Lang, in that chamber, was staring blankly at several screens in front of him. Although the scenes were slightly shaky due to the insects fleeing in panic, the visuals on the screens were still clear.

In the center of the wall, several screens displayed the E Grade Spaceship hovering above Stark’s secret base, and the image of Lin Rui opening a spatial rift above the Spaceship.

Because the Spaceship had such an eye-catching appearance, resembling a futuristic and massive fighter jet, with unusual engines at the rear, it had immediately drawn Scott’s attention.

The intuition of a scientific geek like Scott told him that this “aircraft” was not so simple. Moreover, it had flown out of Stark’s secret base.

Previously, Scott and Professor Pym had speculated about the high-tech things being constructed in the base using the parts they had discovered. Perhaps the “aircraft” in front of Scott’s eyes was what they had been guessing all along.

Boom!

Bang!

Just as Scott was staring blankly at the screens, his gaze fixed, Lin Rui had already exerted full strength to tear open the spatial rift above. A massive spatial rift appeared quickly. Then, with a roar, the E Grade Spaceship accelerated and plunged into the spatial rift, disappearing from view.

Sizzle!

When the E Grade Spaceship abruptly burst out at maximum power, all the screens that had previously shown clear images suddenly turned into full-screen static in a violent shock, obviously damaged by the tremendous impact as they scanned through.

“Ah!… Ugh!” Seeing that all the screens had turned into static, Scott finally snapped out of his stupor, let out a deep sigh, and, after a brief pause, returned to normal. His gaze had also become calm. As a science and technology enthusiast, Scott had formed some speculations after witnessing the scene just now.

“Just now… Could that be a new type of spacecraft? But why does it seem so aggressive? Is Stark Industries really venturing into space?!” Ignoring the screens that had turned into static, Scott mumbled to himself as he sat down on a chair.

With Stark Industries’ strength and resources, even if they withdrew from conventional arms sales, the share they held in clean energy was enough to earn Tony a fortune. So, if their technology was advanced enough, venturing into aerospace seemed like a promising direction.

“However… Why did the spacecraft Stark create open a spatial rift to fly out?! Could their technological research have reached this point?!” Suddenly, as he sat on the chair, Scott shouted a couple of sentences, seemingly stimulated by something.

Clearly, the obvious spatial rift had frightened Scott.
