Chapter 176: Inhuman Village (Happy New Year to everyone)
After experiencing the civil strife of S.H.I.E.L.D., the original S.H.I.E.L.D. was torn apart, and most of the agents of the original S.H.I.E.L.D. entered the newly established Sky Hammer Bureau, leaving only a dozen S.H.I.E.L.D. agents led by Coulson.
Thankfully, they have the secret support of the President of the United States, and Tony's Stark Industries is funding.
On the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents' Airbus plane, Coulson called several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to his office: "Skye, May, Lance, Barbara, I need a few of you to go to a small village in Kansas. ”
Skye asked, "What is the mission?" ”
Coulson clicked on the computer screen, revealing an eerie village with a stone statue of a human.
"Is this an Inhuman cocoon?" Skye and Barbara cried out in surprise.
If it was just an Inhuman cocoon, they wouldn't be so surprised, nearly a hundred cocoons were densely arranged on the empty ground.
"The situation is a bit complicated, there are several Terrigan crystals in this village for some reason, and this village is almost all Inhuman, now you need to get those Tyregan crystals in front of the Celestial Hammer Bureau."
Coulson distrusts Osborne's Hammer Bureau, and they have had several conflicts during this time, relying on Agent Hill to keep them from suffering.
Coulson added, "We suspect that these villagers are members of a cult that is summoning some lord of Hell. ”
Agent May asked, "Hell Lord?" Are you sure they've been summoned? ”
"I can't say for sure, but I've contacted Johnny, the ghost rider, for your safety, and he's already set off first." Seeing that the agents were preparing to leave, Coulson added: "According to the information I received, there is a member of an armed group in the Middle East who has also received this news, you should pay attention. ”
If they knew the strength of the Manchurians, it wouldn't be so easy.
The Quint fighter with several people on board lifted off the top of the huge airliner and flew towards Kansas.
……
In a small, remote village in Kansas, the houses are deserted, and there is no sign of animal activity in the surrounding forest, except for the slight sound of trees in the breeze.
A group of four S.H.I.E.L.D. agents carefully walked down the eerily quiet path, holding in Lance's hand a device that could detect Terrigan crystals.
"Terrigen Crystals are scattered, are we splitting up?" The Terrigan Crystals, displayed on the instrument, were arranged around the village.
"This is a demonic circle?" Seeing the lines on the ground and the location of the Terrigen Crystal on the instrument, Agent May discovered that this was the same circle that Mephisto had summoned the power of Hell the last time.
"The devil may have appeared, but let's act together." Mei does not agree to disperse, in the face of demons, they may not even have the power to fight back, and it is even more dangerous to disperse.
"Boom!"
At this time, a large fire appeared in the middle of the village not far away, as if someone was fighting.
Skye asked, "Could it be Ghost Rider?" ”
Several people glanced at each other and ran quickly towards the battle site.
When they came to the clearing in the middle of the village, they saw that it was covered with dense inhuman cocoons, and in the center was a blood-colored altar.
Some of the Inhuman cocoons had been opened, revealing the miserable villagers inside.
The success rate of Inhumans being transformed by Terrigan Crystals is very low, and perhaps less than ten out of a hundred people will succeed, and the consequence of failure is death.
Of course, the Inhumans on the moon have their own methods to reduce the mortality rate ineffectively, but after the transformation is successful, it is very likely that they will change their appearance and become a dog or even an immobile door, after all, the Kree people's technology is far inferior to that of the Celestials.
"These Inhuman souls are delicious." Opposite the Ghost Rider was a floating 'man' in the air, his eyes glowing red.
Barbara said, "I'll go and get the crystal." ”
Before anyone else could stop her, her body flashed out in an instant.
"Inhuman!" The Hell Lord saw the extremely fast figure, and a red lightning bolt instantly appeared in his hand, slashing at Barbara's body, causing her to fly backwards.
"Barbara." Inhuman Barbara, Agent Lance's lover, saw his girlfriend struck by lightning and rushed anxiously to hug her, but she also had demonic lightning on her, which made him tremble.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. agents." The Hell Lord's hoarse voice came, "It's really ghostly. ”
Agent May recognized the voice: "You're Mephisto!" Haven't you been banished back to hell by Xiao Lin? ”
"I have countless believers in this plane, and I always have a way to come into this world."
He didn't have long to be complacent, when a fiery iron chain swept towards him, "Damn Johnny, I'm going to drag your soul to hell and suffer the scorching fires of hell for eternity. ”
The flames on Ghost Rider's head grew stronger, and he made a hoarse sound in mockery.
Mephisto roared in rage, and scorching flames erupted from his body and fell to the ground, surging demonic imps with flames.
"May, should we help them?" May had experienced the last big battle against Mephisto, and only she knew something about Mephisto, and everyone else looked at her, hoping that she would come up with an idea.
"Our weapons are completely ineffective against Mephisto, so we'll go somewhere else and get the Terrigen Crystal first."
Skye looked at the inhuman cocoon in front of him, some of which had not been cracked, and there might be living Inhumans.
"I'm staying here, there may be people alive in the Inhuman Cocoon, and I can support Ghost Rider too."
Mei thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, let's go collect the crystals first." ”
I don't know how long Ghost Rider and Mephisto have been fighting, but until now they didn't look tired.
Several beams of light appeared in Mephisto's hands, connected to the Inhuman Cocoon, and white souls were sucked into his body one by one, and the flames on his body were a little hotter, "It's delicious!" ”
"Click!" Suddenly, a crack appears in one of the central cocoons, revealing an Inhuman inside.
While Skye was still hesitating, the Inhuman grew a pair of bat wings and flew into the sky crookedly.
Mephisto glanced at it, and became intrigued by the Alien, who was not much like a demon.
"I need to get out of here." Unable to defeat the Ghost Rider, Mephisto became a little irritated and began to think about an escape route.
And the newborn Inhuman flew a few meters in the sky in confusion and fell headlong.
