Chapter 378 - 375 Bathing Together, Enemies Would Always Meet Again.
"Why do you want to soak in hot springs together? It feels strange."
Howard clasped his arms in front of his chest, squeezing the corner of the towel, sitting on the edge, dilly-dallying and refusing to get into the water.
He looked at Luke and Steve with sad and angry eyes.
The strong and perfect lines, the solid and healthy chest and abdominal muscles.
By contrast, he had been doing scientific research all year round, and he hadn't done much physical exercise. He looked like a chubby couch potato.
Sure enough, when there was something to compare with, he would suffer the most damage!
"Don't be a pussy, Howard."
Luke leaned back against the pool, tilted his head back, and said so.
The lower half of his body was wrapped in a towel and submerged in the moderately warm water of the pool.
A glass of chilled sparkling wine and a variety of fresh fruits were at hand.
"Come on down. Don't worry; we won't laugh at your size."
Luke joked as he put a soaked towel on his face.
The strong muscles full of power relaxed, and a sense of sleepiness and lethargy spread.
Somewhat sleepy…
Luke squinted his eyes.
Enjoy this rare peace and quiet.
"What are you talking about? Stark men are always proud of their prowess!"
Howard quickly sat in the hot spring pool. No male creature would accept people questioning their courage.
It's just that he tried to stay away from Luke and Steve.
A superman and a super-soldier.
Being caught in the middle, Howard experienced the feeling of being the 'poorest' man for the first time.
"Steve, why are you getting married while you're this young?"
Howard, a staunch bachelor and lover of singlehood didn't understand Captain America.
Days of debauchery and one-night stands were fun…
If he got married, he would face a lot of problems.
Howard imagined changing diapers, singing lullabies, and telling bedtime stories for his children in the future … he couldn't help but shiver.
It was terrible!
How could he devote his limited time to such trivial things!
"You don't understand."
Steve glanced at the prodigal Howard and shook his head.
"When you have sex with a woman, it's just a short moment of pleasure."
"Howard, it's hard for you to understand. When you open your eyes in the morning and find a person lying next to your bed, she would gently smile at you, hold you in her arms, then make you breakfast …"
Howard grimaced when he saw Captain America show a faint smile and spread romantic, sentimental longings heartily.
Holding a purple grape in his mouth, he spoke in a muffled voice, "Those women who date me can do the same things, as long as I'm willing to show generosity or give them a good time!"
Steve's face looked speechless. No matter what the topic was, it would always become dirty when it came out of Howard's mouth.
This was probably some kind of unique talent!
"I've heard Jarvis complain many times. You take different women to Stark mansion every night. After sleeping, you run off to work in the laboratory, and he has to clean up after you."
Luke said lazily.
"He's probably the one who wants you to get married the most in this world."
Howard was embarrassed. It was just a momentary relief when he had no scientific inspiration and felt bored.
He won't even remember the names of those women. Anyway, it was just one night, so there was no need to know too much.
"That day will come."
Howard chuckled as he looked out the window; the sunset was shining on Las Vegas.
Then, the sky turned red.
A huge Phoenix suddenly appeared, rapidly approaching.
"Did I drink too much?"
Howard rubbed his eyes and wondered if he saw things.
Although he had seen vampires, werewolves, and hell demons.
But he was still a staunch atheist, a scientist with the spirit of exploration and thirst for knowledge.
"It looks like tonight's bachelor party will have to be postponed."
Luke, who was still sleepy, took off the towel that covered his face.
He simply stood up from the hot spring and walked over to the window.
"Uh, Luke, I know this thing of yours … is magnificent, but there's absolutely no need to show it off."
The corners of Howard's mouth twitched as he happened to be sitting nearby. He turned his face away.
"Although I don't know who brought it here, it must be in big trouble."
Luke didn't pay attention to Howard's words. He put a bath towel around him, but some things just couldn't be covered up.
"What is that?"
Captain America, who noticed the anomaly, also stood up and walked in front of Howard.
The latter really didn't know where to look, so he had to raise his head and look at the ceiling.
"Please stay away from me! I will definitely have nightmares tonight!"
Howard looked helpless. Taking a bath with his good friends was terrible.
"That's the Phoenix."
Luke was no stranger to the three ancient forces of the Marvel Universe.
He fought Chthon, the God of Chaos, in the sky above the White House.
The other party had used the 'Chaos Magic' as bait to lure him into becoming his envoy.
Chaos Magic could rewrite reality. It was extremely powerful and the source of the Scarlet Witch's powers.
The same level of Phoenix Force, naturally, wouldn't be any worse.
"It seems that it's heading for Las Vegas. There are over 500,000 innocent citizens in the downtown area alone. I can't guarantee their safety."
Luke's eyes flashed a trace of dignity. Although the Phoenix represented life and creation, it didn't distinguish between good and evil.
Jean Grey's emotions produced the 'Dark Phoenix,' which was an obvious example.
While Phoenix Force affected the host, it would also be subliminally influenced by the host.
"Steve, you have to contact the municipal government and ask them to organize the evacuation of the city."
Luke changed into his Superman's battle suit and told him, "Those who don't have time to evacuate can be taken to Hotel Inferno."
"Howard, you also follow. Don't even think about putting on power armor to help; this isn't Hydra's reinforced soldiers."
Steve nodded, quickly removed the towel around the lower half of his body, grabbed the folded clothes, and put them on.
Seeing this, Howard's trauma expanded again. He felt that his eyes were going blind.
"I need to see a hundred women naked to forget this!"
He quickly stepped out of the pool, fearing that Luke would follow Captain America's example.
Luke directly smashed through the glass wall and flew towards the flaming Phoenix.
Before approaching, the heat was already rolling onto his face.
He saw everything around the Phoenix melting and decomposing.
The gravel turned into crystals, the vegetation burnt into smoke, and even the towering peaks along the way looked like half-melted ice cream.
"Where are you running to?"
High in the sky, a semicircular passage in space expanded, and a tall gray figure slowly walked out.
He wasn't afraid of the exuberant heat emanating from the flaming Phoenix, and his cold face revealed a hint of a smile.
"Surrender to me, kneel in front of the great Apocalypse!"
The flame Phoenix expressed no desire to care about this strange man and threw a ball of energy at him.
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded through the air.
