Chapter 91 Agreement
The death of the Hive officially marked the complete collapse of the forces led by Gideon Malik with the goal of "freeing the Hydra God". It turns out that the so-called ancient gods that Hydra believes in are ultimately nothing more than a joke, beautifully packaged by the Kree and exaggerated by millennial myths, but in the final analysis, they are just aliens, far from the so-called gods.
The hundreds of millions of parasites in the hive were all incinerated in Mephisto's hellfires, but he still had a small number of parasites left in the Inhumans he infected. However, this part of the problem has also been contracted by Dr. Victor von Doom, who has programmed the nanoworms two days after Michael asked him, and injected these small machines into the bodies of all infected Inhumans after mass production, completely eradicating the last vestiges of the hive.
In this way, the Inhumans were completely free from the shackles of the hive. However, according to Doom's speculation, the long-term stimulation effect of parasites on the pleasure nerves may be scientifically close to drug addiction, which is generally referred to as high-spiritedness. After the nanoworm clears the parasite, the pleasure of long-term dependence will suddenly disappear, and there is a possibility of withdrawal reaction, like a drug addict.
However, considering that Hive, the world's exclusive supplier, is dead, there is no need to worry about anyone relapsing. Over time, these symptoms will lessen until recovery.
After that, these aliens are faced with the question of their fate.
The Afterlife is undoubtedly an excellent retreat, but now that it's been exposed, and now that the teleporting powerhouse Gordon is dead, it's not so easy for them to get in and out of it.
In this regard, Michael (in the image of the commander of the Sky Sword) offered to solve this problem for them. He assured them that Skysword could arrange an excellent place to live for them, and that he could provide them with all the resources and specialized equipment they needed to assess and train the new Inhumans. The Heavenly Sword can also provide them with shelter, ensuring that no force other than the Heavenly Sword will find out about their whereabouts this time.
"Thank you so much for your help. We are grateful that you have expelled the hive and set us free from his bondage. Jia Ying negotiated with Michael on behalf of the Inhumans and said politely, "But I hope you can understand that my compatriots and I are adjusting to living independently and may not be able to adapt to being part of an organization...... Or become an agent. ”
"Not to be an agent." Michael explained, "I'm asking for help, pure help, not a letter of engagement. I want to build alliances, not subordinate relationships. The number of Inhumans will only increase from now on, and now that you have lost Gordon as your eyes and ears, it may not be as easy to find new Inhumans around the world as it once was. But with the resources of the Heavenly Sword, this will be a lot more convenient.
So the deal goes like this, in the future we find a new Inhuman, we register him (or her) and send it to your place, where you are solely responsible for guiding and educating them and teaching them their superpowers. The Inhumans' side is still completely under your own control, and you don't need to report to us. There is only one condition, that is, don't leave the sight of the Heavenly Sword, just do it. ”
"That's really...... Very generous. Jia Ying seemed to be really moved by this proposal, but she was still a little hesitant, "But in return, what can we give you?" I think you may need to know beforehand that while most of us now have superpowers of various functions, not many of them are actually applicable to the battlefield. My men are not warriors, and they may not be able to ...... when you need them."
Michael interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Nothing in return. If you have to say that an equivalent reward can give you a little more peace of mind, all Skysword needs is your most basic trust and friendship. We may never need it, but if someday there is a place where Inhumans can help, I hope to get help from you. I can assure you that it won't be too much to ask for, and that you won't be forced to do something beyond your means. ”
Jia Ying seemed to finally accept his statement, so she nodded and said, "Then since that's the case, I'll trouble you again." ”
Without understanding the plot of the TV series, Michael can also see that Jia Ying is actually a not simple woman. She is very deep in the city and ruthless in her methods, but she is always careful to hide the violence in her heart under a gentle exterior. But this is not actually her fault, she may indeed be a gentle and kind person, but she was caught by Hydra when she was young, and Daniel Whitehall conducted a series of inhumane experiments on her in order to explore the secrets of Inhuman's superpowers, and it was those unimaginable torture and pain that created her dark side.
But as the leader of the Inhuman, she is loved and trusted by all the Inhumans, she is an excellent leader and manager, and she is also very good at guiding the Inhumans to adapt and accept her abilities.
It is for these reasons that Michael threw out this proposal. This is also one of the original intentions of the establishment of Tianjian - to monitor the crisis, control the hidden dangers, and ensure that any potential threats are under control.
And from Jia Ying's side, she also clearly knows how dangerous the person in front of her is. The hive was terrible enough for her, but in the time she was doing things for the hive, she had also seen that the man in front of her was a hundred times more terrible than the hive as an enemy.
She's a shrewd person, shrewd enough to discern what kind of people shouldn't be provoked. Rather than being an enemy of the Heavenly Sword, the choice of friendship is wiser.
The two sides exchanged views on some trivial matters, and the matter was basically finalized. Daisy Johnson walked up and interjected into the conversation.
"Well," she asked Michael, "about the invitation you mentioned earlier, to join that team...... Does it still work? ”
Michael glanced at her.
"Of course." He said.
"Then count me in, I'll join."
Jia Ying looked at her unexpectedly: "Daisy......"
"I know, I know, but it's a deliberate decision." Daisy turned to her mother and said, "If there's one thing I've felt most about my experience of leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. until now, it's that I've clearly realized what kind of person I am and what I'm destined to do. It was the only time I was able to maintain peace in the world as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and I felt like I was in the right place. S.H.I.E.L.D. can't accept me now, but here...... Here, I may also be able to correctly recognize who I am. ”
Jia Ying stared at her pair of eyes that were extremely similar to her own, and only sighed softly for a long time, and raised her hand to caress her daughter's cheek.
"You're a big girl, you should have the right to make your own decisions."
Daisy shook her hand, "I'll be going to see you guys often." You, me, and Dad...... Together as a family, we have more time and a lot of things to do. ”
"yes." Jia Ying pulled her into her arms and gave her a warm hug, "There are still many things to do." ”
Michael silently exited the room and gently closed the door.
