Chapter 160: Dimensional Immigration (1)

In the summer of 1946, news of the crushing defeat of the British Colonial Army and the French Foreign Legion in Wakanda shocked the world.

Although it was clear to most people after World War II that the United States and the Soviet Union were emerging as global powers, and that the days of British and French world dominance were over, no one expected them to be challenged so openly.

France, in particular, had become a laughing stock after its rapid collapse during the war. Howev...

Chapter 159: The Unstable Wakanda

Seeing himself surrounded, Azzuri immediately took aim at the direction of the beast soldier furthest from the others, trying to break through.

The sharp vibranium claws slashed deep into the beast soldier's neck, tearing out a chunk of flesh.

Fortunately for the soldier, the claws of the Black Panther suit were not very long, and the increased size and hardened skin of the transformed animal soldier provided additional defense. Otherwise, the attack could have severed a vital art...

Chapter 158: Encounter

The agile Velociraptors darted quickly through the jungle, scanning everything they could sense or see and relaying the information back to Vito.

Suddenly, one of the velociraptors seemed to notice something and let out a series of sharp calls to its companions before sprinting off in a particular direction.

They soon came to a bend in the river, where they circled and patrolled around an abandoned camp.

After a short time, a group of individuals dressed in camouflage, their...

Chapter 157: "Aid" to Africa

"If you want to untie the bell, you have to find the one who tied it. Since the intelligence of the Europeans links us to Austria, the problem may lie with Austria itself," the chief of the river tribe said thoughtfully, as Azzuri fell silent.

"Only a fool would think so. Use your brain. If you were the ruler of Austria and knew about Wakanda, would you deliberately link your country with us? That would be a provocation! Besides, we all know that Austria's technology has nothing to do w...

Chapter 156: Azzuri

Before World War II, whether in this Marvel Universe or in Josh's previous life, only three countries in Africa were independent, while the rest were colonies of nations such as Britain and France.

The three independent nations were Egypt, Ethiopia, and Liberia.

But Egypt was independent in name only.

So, strictly speaking, only Ethiopia and Liberia were truly independent.

Liberia achieved this status because it was an early American colony, relatively advanced in many...

Chapter 155: The Secret Behind Austria's Strength

Outside of Belgrade, a large military exercise was going on.

The Austrian military was displaying all the weapons used in the recent Balkan war.

However, the Mirage III fighter jet and two military helicopter models attracted the most attention.

The Mirage III blasted through the sky at twice the speed of sound, leaving the American experimental jet fighters far behind.

These American jets, acting as sparring partners, included the F-80 Shooting Star, F-84 Thunderjet, ...

Chapter 154: Exchange of Interests

An hour later, Josh finished his conversation with Partridge.

The conversation didn't take long, because Josh quickly realized that Partridge had only recently regained his emotions and wasn't very good at expressing himself. As a result, their conversation was brief and direct, which of course saved time.

By the time the conversation was over, Josh's system inventory was missing a few Beast Transformation Serums. What he received in return, however, was only a small number of Pro...

Chapter 153: The Torn Apocalypse

As "Ned Stark" lookalike calmly told the story, Josh finally understood what kind of world the other man came from and learned his name—Errol Partridge.

Errol Partridge's world was also called Earth. However, unlike Josh's previous life and the Marvel Universe he now called home, that Earth's 21st century followed a path of destruction—World War III, a nuclear war.

After the war, the remaining humans formed a new, powerful organization called the Tetragrammaton Council.

Chapter 152: The Fourth Trading Partner (2)

On March 9, the Second Army Group of the Federal Republic captured Ivanic-Grad, just 50 kilometers from Zagreb, the capital of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Meanwhile, the Federal Republic's three other army groups launched widespread offensives throughout southern Yugoslavia, particularly in the Croatian region.

As subordinates of the Soviets, the Federal Republic's military adopted Soviet-style tactics and had received significant early support in military resources. Their mastery ...

Chapter 151: The Fourth Trading Partner (1)

In the southeastern part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (region of Croatia) there was a small town called Valpovo.

Twenty kilometers south of Valpovo was another small town called Osijek, which belonged to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (A/N: hereafter referred to as the Federal Republic). (TL/N: The Communist Partisians rule the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia)

These two towns were once insignificant in Yugoslavia.

However, with the division of the two states, the border c...

Chapter 150: Time to Show Some Strength

Time passed like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, seventy years have passed.

Just kidding—actually, only seven months have passed, and it's now the beginning of 1946.

For the past six months or so, since the surrender of Japan, the world has experienced its most peaceful period since the beginning of World War II. After more than a decade of war, every nation was exhausted and in desperate need of rest.

But this peace lasted only six months.

As countries began...

Chapter 149: Turning Eighteen

As he watched the massive Europa slowly glide into the dock at the New York shipyard, Josh nodded in satisfaction. Once the renovations were complete, he would be able to take his family on trips around the world in this 'big toy'.

Although airplanes were faster, their comfort was still an issue in this era. For work that required speed, airplanes were ideal. But for leisurely travel, ships were far more comfortable—especially a luxury liner, which was larger than an aircraft carrier....

Chapter 148: Big Toy

"Peggy, honestly, I don't think you need to stay in the Strategic Scientific Reserve anymore. They don't value you at all. Other than that 'interrogation' incident, no one has even checked up on you. Why not come and work for me? If you agree, you can be the manager of my New York branch!" Josh said, peeling an apple for Carter.

"Thank you, Josh, but I can’t just leave like this. We still haven't found Bucky and I'm not ready to give up!" Carter replied, leaning against the hospital b...

Chapter 147: WAA (2)

Daenerys, currently planning a massive conquest of the Game of Thrones world, had an insatiable need for military supplies. Even if she couldn't use it all at once, she could sustain her military campaigns and gradually consume most of it.

If she couldn't use it all right away, Josh could store it in his system warehouse without worrying about it spoiling.

Later, when he encounters a world similar to the Game of Thrones world in the future—for example, that little baby who hasn'...

Chapter 146: WAA (1)

When Phillips saw Josh sitting across from Ross in the yard of Ross's house, he was stunned.

At the same time, he felt helpless.

But his helplessness quickly turned to determination.

There was no turning back now. Now that it had come to this, there was no way he could back down. Sticking his head out was a stab in the back, and backing down was also a stab in the back.

"It's been a long time, General Phillips!" Josh greeted him. The last time they had met was in Vienn...

Chapter 145: Teaching a Child

Although the most urgent task was to win Josh's forgiveness and prevent the tycoon from filing a lawsuit, Phillips wasn't foolish enough to bring Dooley directly to his doorstep.

After all, Phillips had no real connection to the former European business tycoon.

In fact, if you dig deeper, there might even be some conflict between them. Back when the Midnight Oil was stolen, Phillips had sent both military police and Carter to investigate and arrest the man.

The best way to g...

Chapter 144: Major Changes in the New York Division

"Screech!" A military jeep, rarely seen on the streets of New York, pulled up in front of One Police Plaza, the headquarters of the New York Police Department in Lower Manhattan.

The Director General of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR), Major General Phillips, stepped out of the vehicle with a grim expression, accompanied by his deputy as they entered the building.

His mood was understandably sour.

A highly decorated agent had been ambushed, Bucky Barnes had been kidna...

Chapter 143: SSR New York Branch

"Clang... hiss..." The ambushers hiding around the apartment building noticed the caution of Carter and Bucky in the car. Immediately, several smoke bombs were thrown from different corners on both sides of the street, landing near the vehicle.

Thick smoke quickly engulfed the car, and eight attackers wearing gas masks emerged from their hiding places, armed with baton-like weapons, and approached the vehicle.

Their goal was to capture Bucky Barnes alive, so lethal weapons were no...

Chapter 142: Ambush

Josh's friend in Brooklyn was, of course, none other than Peggy Carter, who supposedly lived in the apartment that once belonged to Captain America.

"Huh? Keep driving, don't stop!" But as the car approached the street by the apartment, Vito, in the passenger seat, noticed something was wrong and quickly ordered the driver to continue driving.

The driver immediately obeyed, maintaining a steady speed and steering away from the apartment area.

"What's going on?" Josh asked wi...

Chapter 141: The Energy Industry

"...So you plan to subjugate them?" The moment Hugh Jones spoke, Josh could already guess his intentions.

In Marvel Universe, vampires didn't have the hierarchy of titles found in novels—no dukes, counts, or knights. Most of those were either their human titles or just covers and had nothing to do with their level of power.

In fact, there wasn't even a clear system for classifying strength.

The only general rule was that older vampires tended to be more powerful. However, ...

Chapter 140: The Twelve Zodiacs

"It's good that you have no objections, since the Rebirth Project is very important to us." Seeing Josh's reaction, Thomas and the other council members looked at him in agreement.

For them, the biggest obstacle to targeting Bucky wasn't the Strategic Scientific Corps or any other law enforcement agency, but Josh, their own Council member. After all, everyone who knew Bucky's story knew that Josh had saved him. If Josh didn't interfere, the matter would be straightforward.

"The se...

Chapter 139: Bucky! Danger!

Nine council members sat across from each other in the spacious conference room.

Because of his role in bringing Josh to the Council and other matters, Wilfred Malick had successfully restored his family's status within the organization and earned a seat at the table.

Of course, he was still the lowest ranking member.

The room was dimly lit, even though it was broad daylight. Heavy curtains blocked out the sunlight, and only a few dim lights illuminated the room.

This ...

Chapter 138: The Proposal

The C-69 roared as it landed in New York.

"Go home and spend some time with your family. No need to rush back to work. I'm a very understanding boss!" Josh said, patting Winters on the shoulder as they parted ways at the airport.

Standing nearby were Winters' close friend Nix and Josh's trusted ally Aldo.

With the surrender of Japan due to the six nuclear bombs, World War II had officially ended in this Universe.

The United States soon began to downsize its massive mil...

Chapter 137: Secret Agreement

In a small Austrian border town called Moschendorf, a secret meeting was taking place in a hotel.

The meeting was between two important representatives. On one side was Karl Renner, the first president of the newly formed Austrian Second Republic, often referred to as the Father of Austria. On the other side was Molotov, a strong supporter of Stalin and the current foreign minister of the Soviet Union.

The subject of the meeting was a secret agreement. The Soviet Union would reduc...

Chapter 136: The SeaPort

"What a shame!" Josh sighed as he put down the newspaper on the terrace of Neuschwanstein Castle.

The news on the paper was about the nuclear devastation in six cities in Japan, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Kyoto, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagoya.

But not Japan.

Due to America's political interests, Japan was excluded from the list of targets.

Even so, Japan had not fared much better. Even before the Weimar Conference, the famous General LeMayhad turned the city into a fiery wastel...

Chapter 135: The Maximum Temperature Reaches 6000°

"Ah, Mr. Josh Kahn, the young talent of America! It's a pleasure to meet you. You are truly impressive. On behalf of the United States, I thank you for your contributions to our country and our military!" President Truman said warmly as he shook Josh's hand during the grand banquet.

As the new session approached, Truman, having just taken the presidential office, finally arrived in Weimar.

To welcome the president, Josh, acting as semi-host, went all out. He secured a luxurious lo...

Chapter 134: The French Defaulted Again

The originally scheduled Weimar conference was postponed.

In the short span of a week before the meeting, two major events occurred.

The first was the unexpected death of beloved American President Roosevelt from a cerebral hemorrhage after becoming overly emotional during a visit to a military base, just one day before his scheduled departure for Europe.

In response, Josh's Fortress Headquarters lowered its flags to half-mast as a gesture of mourning. Of course, the private...

Chapter 133: The Weimar Conference

At night, a C-69 aircraft flew into the sky under the cover of darkness from the military airfield.

As Josh watched the plane disappear into the night, he let out a small sigh.

He couldn't help but wonder if sparing Hugh Jones had been the right decision.

Although Hugh had been under observation for half a month since his rescue, and aside from avoiding sunlight and occasionally drinking chilled blood, he had shown no signs of aggression and retained his sanity.

Still,...

Chapter 132: Dracula (2)

Barely ten minutes after Josh and his team left, the sound of engines filled the night sky.

It was the sound of B-29 bombers.

Moments later, a barrage of bombs and incendiary weapons rained down on the city, turning it into a blazing inferno and reducing it to ashes. (TL/N: Incendiary weapons use a chemical reaction to produce heat or flames that cause injury or set fire to objects.)

The next day, in a temporary isolation ward of a military hospital under General Fletcher's ...

Chapter 131: Dracula (1)

"Roar!" In the dimly lit makeshift camp, Hugh Jones, who had always been a gentleman, now glared at Josh and the others outside the cage with blood-red eyes and let out a beastly, bloodthirsty growl.

"Tsk, how pitiful..." Josh shook his head with a sigh as he looked at Hugh Jones inside the cage.

Just as Vito and the others behind him thought Josh was about to continue expressing his sympathy, they were surprised to hear him suddenly give an order to Ophelia: "Ophelia, go get a ca...
