Summon the Villain: Marvel

When Sephiroth returned to the Umbrella.

"Lord Sephiroth, Mr. Kreutz from the headquarters is waiting for you at the Research Institute." A supervisor came up to Sephiroth and said respectfully.

Word came from Umbrella headquarters that Mr. Kreutz would personally come to the European Umbrella branch to upgrade the equipment and intelligent security systems for Sephiroth and the entire team.

Sephiroth didn't expect much from that, and for him, equipment and systems weren't the most important thing for him. He is more concerned with finding who is behind Hydra and preventing them from continuing to pose a threat to the umbrella and the world.

However, when Sephiroth arrived at the institute, he saw Mr. Kreutz waiting there. Kreuz was smiling, and there was a look of anticipation in his eyes.

"Sephiroth, welcome back." Kreutz greeted Sephiroth warmly, his gaze full of respect.

Sephiroth was slightly stunned, then regained his calm countenance. "Thank you." He replied succinctly.

"Sephiroth, I've heard that you've done an excellent job during this time, and the Umbrella Division is really proud to have a top fighter like you." Kreuz praised.

Sephiroth didn't like to receive too much compliment, he just nodded silently and didn't say much.

Kreutz saw Sephiroth's thoughts, and he knew that Sephiroth was a man of few words, so he got to the point. "I'm here to upgrade the equipment and smart security systems of the European umbrella. As Hydra has more and more superpowered fighters, we must improve our combat effectiveness.

"I know." Sephiroth nodded, and although he didn't care about the equipment, he knew it was important for the whole team.

"Not only that, but we're also upgrading the Eisenac Warframe Legion to make them even more powerful." Kreutz continued, "At the same time, we will increase investment in biochemical engineering research and develop more advanced biological weapons and technologies.

"I will assist you." Sephiroth replied solemnly. He knows that the Umbrella Division is now facing a growing threat, and that he must do everything possible to improve his capabilities in order to meet the challenges of the future.

Kreutz expressed his satisfaction with Sephiroth's cooperation and took him to the laboratory of the research institute. The lab is busy, and the engineers are busy working on an upgrade plan for the umbrella.

"This is the latest intelligent security system developed by the headquarters, which can automatically detect and identify potential threats, as well as quickly respond and respond to various attacks." Kreutz introduced Saphiroth.

Sephiroth quietly observed everything in the lab, knowing that the scientists and engineers were working hard to keep the Umbrella Branch safe.

"This is the new Warframe of the Eisenac Warframe Legion, and it has more powerful attack and defense power, allowing the warriors to better deal with the enemy." Kreutz continued.

Sephiroth looked at the Warframe in front of him, and he knew that the upgrade of these equipment was crucial to the entire team.

On the other side of the lab, biochemical engineering research is also in full swing. They are developing more advanced biological and chemical weapons and technologies to enhance the team's combat effectiveness.

The whole research institute is full of innovation and hope, and engineers are constantly trying new theories and experiments to add new hope to the future of the umbrella.

"Sephiroth, I know you don't care about the equipment and technology, but they are very important for the umbrella. Only with great strength can we be invincible in the face of the threat of Hydra. Kreutz explained to Sephiroth.

"No, I just don't need it myself, but everyone in the umbrella does." Sephiroth said solemnly.

......

Tony Stark successfully thwarted the threat of an alien invasion after his battle with Zetari. However, the battle took a heavy toll on his psyche. He returned to his private villa in the Maldives and embarked on a lonely journey.

Whenever night falls, Tony is awakened by nightmares. The images of the battle replayed in his mind, keeping him awake at night. In his dreams, he saw Zitari's Endless Legion, saw himself and his companions alone, saw countless people die in battle, and Pepper Potts.

During the day, he tries to find a workaround, trying to keep himself busy. However, no matter how hard he tried, the nightmare of the night still haunted his heart and he couldn't get rid of it. He began to distance himself from his friends, especially Pepper Potts, and was reluctant to share his troubles with her. He felt more and more lonely inside of him and couldn't communicate with anyone.

In his villa in the Maldives, he locked himself in a laboratory and went crazy on research. He tried to find a solution to his inner wounds through technology, but it was all in vain. He was physically and mentally exhausted, but he couldn't stop and face his mental problems.

Pepper Potts senses Tony's change, and she desperately tries to help him, but Tony keeps her out. He believes that his problems can only be solved on his own, and does not want others to see his vulnerable side.

One night, he was awakened again by a nightmare. This time, his buddy Bruce Banner (Hulk) appears in the dream, and he looks at Tony with a warning look that seems to hint at something. Tony was stunned, and he realized that he had been running away from the problems within him, and these were exactly what he needed to face and solve.

The next day, Tony finally decides to face his heart.

The next morning, the sun poured into the bedroom through the window, and Tony lay on the bed, his eyes glazed over. He stayed up all night and was exhausted by nightmares. He knew he could no longer run away from it, and he had to face the fear and trauma within him.

Pepper Potts walked into the bedroom and couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Tony's pale face and tired expression. She quietly walked to the side of the bed, gently patted Tony's shoulder, and said softly, "Tony, are you okay?"

Tony turned his head and looked into Pepper's eyes, his eyes full of exhaustion and vulnerability. He finally let go of his old strength and conceit, and confides in Pepper about his psychological trauma and restless nightmares. He told her that after the battle of Zitari, he had been haunted by the shadows in his heart and felt unable to shake off his fear and anxiety.

Pepper listened quietly, didn't interrupt him, just gently held his hand, signaling that he didn't have to worry, she would always be there for him.

"I don't think I can go on like this." Tony's voice trembled a little, "I've always been a strong Iron Man, but now I feel like I can't hold it anymore.

Pepper stroked his hair and said softly, "Tony, you are also a human being, you also have feelings, you have the right to be afraid, to be vulnerable. You don't always have to be a hero, we all know how great and brave you are, but you're also an ordinary person with the same vulnerability and need to be understood as everyone else.

"But I don't want you to worry, I don't want you to see my vulnerable side." Tony said with some frustration.

Pepper hugged him tightly and said softly, "I love you, whether you're a strong Iron Man or a fragile Tony Stark." You don't have to face all the stress and pain alone, we are one, we will always be together and face everything together.

Tony felt Pepper's warmth and comfort, he knew he wasn't alone, he had Pepper by his side to support him. His eyes were moist, he had never thought that he would be so vulnerable in front of others, but at the moment he felt relieved and reassured.

"Thank you, Pepper." Tony hugged her tightly, his voice filled with gratitude and warmth, "With you by my side, I feel like I can beat everything." Pepper

patted him gently on the back and said gently, "Yes, we will always be together and face all the difficulties and challenges." You don't have to carry everything alone, I will always support you and walk with you through every time.

With Pepper by his side, Tony began to undergo psychotherapy to find his inner balance. He also gradually opened up and began to share his feelings with his friends. They formed a small group and met regularly each week to help each other cope with stress.

In the course of his treatment, Tony also realizes that what he has experienced in the fight is inevitable. He begins to accept that he is a man with weaknesses rather than an invincible Iron Man. He learned to face fears and difficulties and to face his inner wounds with courage.

As time passed, Tony's nightmares diminished, and he began to be able to sleep peacefully. He slowly came out of the shadows and regained his strength and self-confidence. He also realizes that his friends and family are his strongest supporters, and only by joining hands with them can we face the challenges of the future together.

At the same time, a type of terrorist known as the "Desperate Warrior" launched a series of terrorist attacks around the world, resulting in countless deaths.

The first attack took place in a bustling business district. People were busy shopping and working, when suddenly, a loud bang rang out, and the whole neighborhood was thrown into chaos in an instant. The Desperate Warrior detonated a powerful bomb that killed dozens of people on the spot, and many more were injured by the bomb's shock wave and fragments. Screams, cries, sirens mingle to create a terrifying picture.

This was followed by a second attack by the desperate warriors at a crowded train station. Dressed in black camouflage uniforms and grim-faced and armed with cold weapons, they fired wildly at innocent travelers. People are running in all directions, but there is nowhere to run. The railway station instantly became a sea of blood, with countless casualties.

Soon after, the Desperate Warrior launched another terrorist attack in a bustling shopping mall. They blended into the crowd and suddenly drew their weapons and fired at the crowd around them. Shopping malls are in chaos and people are panicking for shelter. The actions of the desperate warriors are like the devil descending on them, making people feel endless fear and despair.
