Chapter 52: Shockwave Girl
The soaring energy index in the temple in the center of the alien city has broken through the sky, but it still has no intention of stopping. Massive stone doors, several meters thick, seal off the entrance, keeping anyone who wants to step inside.
However, Michael didn't particularly need a door to get in and out of the room.
He recited a spell, a piercing spell. From a physical and scientific point of view, the explanation is to infuse itself with energy drawn from multiple spaces in a specific way, so as to achieve the effect of phase transformation for a short time. This is a relatively high-end spell that allows the mage to blur his body and penetrate various entities by changing his or her phase, to achieve effects such as passing through walls and escaping the ground.
Shifting himself and his armor together, Michael made a direct cut through the heavy stone walls and into the temple.
The extent of the damage suffered by the seismic waves on the inside seems to be more severe than on the outside. When Michael floated in, the ground was covered with a thick layer of lime and debris, and a large amount of rubble still spilled from the dome like rain. A golden light casts in the center of the room, like a spotlight on the stage on the pillared table that rises in the center.
A thick fog filled the entire space, white fog and flying dust mixed together, and crystal particles flickered and danced in this layer of fog. The armor's radioactivity monitoring alarm went off the moment Michael entered the door, and the alarm sign flickered in the corner of his vision.
The Terrigen Mist, released through crystals hidden in the obelisk, activates Inhumans' stealth genes and triggers their latent superpowers. The Terrigen Crystal, which was the culprit, was soon discovered by Michael, and the obelisk had been opened, and a cluster of turquoise crystals that had been wrapped in it was now lying on the ground on the side, radiating a brilliant brilliance.
Michael also didn't have to make any extra effort to find the source of the shaking movement - a black-haired girl kneeling on the ground with her head in her arms. She curled up tightly, her arms over her ears, and sobbed in a low voice, painful, helpless, and grief-stricken, like a child who had just lost her parents, as if just looking at her could make people feel the pain.
That was Skye.
There were black pieces scattered around her, which might have been in the shape of a human being if put together. It was also a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, a friend of Skye's. He came down to save Skye out, but he accidentally came into contact with the flying fragments of the obelisk, and he became what he is now.
As for the woman who came down first with the obelisk, Rena is no longer here. Skye's shock ripples tore a narrow crack in the circular stone wall, and if it was a petite and flexible woman, she might indeed have passed through it, and I think Rena must have escaped from that gap.
Terrigan Crystal triggers the Inhuman genes in Skye's body, giving her the superpower to control shockwaves. But she didn't realize it yet, and she was devastated by the sight of her friend who had put her life at risk for her own sake, and the earth-shattering shockwaves erupted instinctively, crashing into the structure of the entire underground space and shaking the entire foundation.
A huge boulder cracked down on the dome and fell straight in the direction of Skye, only to be shattered into powder out of thin air when it approached about three meters above her head, as if it had broken into a field full of absolute oppressive force. Countless detriths were spilling over the girl's head, but she was still immersed in grief, completely unaware of the changes above her head.
"Interesting." Michael saw this scene and thought for a moment.
"Warning, structural damage detected." "I strongly advise you to get out of here, sir—if you don't want to be buried alive with millions of tons of dirt and rock." ”
Michael didn't take her advice. He walked over to the weeping girl and crouched down.
"Skye." He turned off the voice changer and spoke in a calm, natural voice, "Look at me." ”
The girl stopped crying, looked up, and looked blankly at his blue eyeglass. She met Michael's gaze through the V-shaped mirror, and an indescribable feeling of dizziness came over her heart, which made it difficult for her to think.
She shook her head, trying to stay conscious: "Are you ...... Who? ”
"Empty your mind." Michael pinched a light green magic circle in his right hand, "Put aside the pain, don't let them devour you." Let the light enter your heart and let it dispel your pain......"
He spoke unhurriedly, and his voice was soft. But there was an indescribable magic in the voice, and for a moment Skye felt as if the pain and grief were all washed away. She felt tired, and the tidal wave of tiredness constantly forced her to close her eyelids.
In a trance, she seemed to feel that the fog in front of her became thicker, and she could not focus her gaze, and the pitch-black armor in front of her began to ghost, and her vision was hazy and blurred.
The pain was gone, and she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The shock and shock have stopped.
"Impressive." Shirley said, "Hypnotism, sir? ”
"Pretty much, hypnotic spells, but only inducing."
"Do you want to bring this lady back?" Shirley proposed, "Maybe she'll be willing to join your planned super party." ”
"Are you kidding? She's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and I'm the most dangerous terrorist on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Most wanted terrorist. How much unnecessary effort did it take to convince her to join? Michael stood up, "And you should understand that I don't like to force people against their will unless it's particularly necessary." ”
He paused, then turned his gaze to the cluster of turquoise Terrigan crystals that had landed not far away.
"Besides, she's not what we're here for."
Michael raised his palm, and the magic poured into his palm to form a flame-colored circle. The invisible force dragged the Kerry Crystal lying on the ground into the air, and was firmly grasped by him.
"Skye!"
Coulson's shouts could be heard from outside the crack in the stone wall, along with the sound of hurried footsteps. Michael gave one last glance at the unconscious girl, raised his hand to open a spell portal, and retreated into the door to disappear away.
***
In a limousine speeding down the road.
Gideon Malik, a member of the World Security Council, wields unimaginable power and unrivaled wealth. In the eyes of most people, he is already the person who stands at the pinnacle of power on this planet, but few people know that such a respected man has been a hidden stake planted by Hydra in the council for so many years.
The Malik family has been a devotion to Hydra for generations, but this is not the Hydra that most people know about the World War II founded by the Red Skull, but the Hydra they believe in is a thousand-year-old organization with a purer and clearer purpose than today's Hydra.
But Gideon Malik, despite his high status in Hydra, is not the leader. It must be said that his status is similar to that of a senior consultant, and his status is very special. Therefore, although he also has a certain amount of resources and strength in his hands, he has not yet attracted the attention of the Heavenly Sword for the time being.
But only temporarily.
Malik sat in the back seat of the car and answered a phone call, answered a few words like "um" and "got it", hung up the phone with a calm face, and played with the phone at his fingertips, intentionally or unintentionally.
The henchman sitting next to him cautiously asked, "Sir, is something wrong?" ”
"Daniel Whitehall is out." Malik said coldly, "Norton found him...... And Aegis. ”
His henchman let out an "ah" and showed a worried expression.
"We've got to get up to speed." Malik sat up straight, "It's only a matter of time before Norton finds us, and if we don't make it before then, we're all done." ”
"But no one has succeeded for thousands of years." The henchman worried, "What are we going to do?" ”
Malik pondered for a moment, his eyes shining fiercely.
"We send the best teams, the best people, and the best people in all the sciences." Malik said, "No matter what the cost, bring him back – the only faith of Hydra for thousands of years, the very reason for the existence of this organization, the ...... of Hydra God! ”
