Chapter 121: The Return of the King
Michael wore a special silver-white metal glove on his right hand, and the back of his hand was densely inserted with intricate lines. The gloves are directly linked to at least seven sensors with different functions, while a main line is linked to a simple energy unit powered by Terrigan crystals. The device will extract the crystal's energy and feed it into the experimental glove.
He moved his knuckles, tried to clench his fist a few times, and then gestured with his free left hand to Victor von Doom to the side, indicating that he was ready. Doom nodded and pressed the activation button on the back of the energy device. Terrigan crystal energy was extracted, and streams of green light were routed into the glove, lighting up the five fingers mounted on the lights.
Michael placed his palm on a long table five meters away in front of him, on which a row of goblets containing half a glass of water was neatly arranged. The invisible wave hummed and whispered from his glove, and the shock shook the liquid in the cup, provoking a long series of high-pitched, pleasant crunch sounds like tuning forks.
But after only half a second, all the cups cracked in the same second. The water splattered like countless arrows mixed in the shards of glass, spilling over the entire long table.
The fluctuations stopped, and Michael took off his gloves.
"It's working well." Doom taps on the keypad to record the data. He stared at the device design on the computer screen for a long time, and said with a sigh: "I must say that some of your ideas are indeed worthy of admiration. I had a lot of tricky problems when designing a model, but I didn't expect you to come up with a solution in three days, and it was so ...... Pretty. β
What they are working on is still an experiment that simulates the ability of Daisy Johnson, a female shockwave woman, to release and manipulate shockwaves. Three days ago, Doom had preliminarily perfected the model and presented his research results to Michael. It took Michael three days to solve all the remaining problems in his plan and get the system to work perfectly.
Now that the ability system is complete enough, the next step is to transplant it into armor and use it as a weapon.
"Inspired by the Kree equipment captured by the Heavenly Sword." "I researched some of the ways they do it and found a lot of things inspiring," Michael said. β
Terrigen Crystals, whether they are Inhumans or Inhumans, are all products of Kerry Technology, and it is not surprising that there are similarities in technical principles.
"It's a destructive ability, but it leaves a lot to be done in terms of precision control." Michael pointed to the shattered cups, "I meant to use the oscillation to knock them out percussion." β
"We can test this further and then debug it." Doom tapped the values on the monitor with his knuckles, "Now that the system is working well, all that remains to do is change some parameters." β
"What about the abilities of the other Inhumans? Have you found time to do your research? Michael asked.
"About this," Doom frowned, "I did take a brief look at it and try to build a few models as well. My reasoning is that loading multiple systems on a piece of armor to implement multiple abilities isn't practical, at least for now. Different systems can conflict with each other, and overly complex designs can interfere with the original functional modules of the armor. β
Michael nodded, this was what he had expected, at least until their skills were further improved, the problem was not solved for the time being.
"If you're going to have multiple systems on your armor to simulate multiple Inhumans with superpowers, my proposalβand probably the only one we've got right now," Doom paused, "I think we'll probably have to build a few more armor sets." You can equip a different ability on each suit, and then swap out different armors to suit your needs. β
"Thanks for the offer, I'll consider it."
"By the way, an old friend of yours," Michael suddenly remembered something, "Reed Richards, remember?" β
Doom frowned, "I don't have friends, and neither does Richards. But I must admit that he is one of the very rare people in this world who has a brain among the imbecile and stupid human beings...... Maybe barely on par with me. β
But when it came to the subject, Doom's mouth began to run again, and his conceit did not allow him to admit that Richards was stronger than him, but it was hard to say which of the two geniuses was more scientifically proficient.
"I just thought you might be wondering that Richards' exploration plan was favored by the relevant departments of the military. He is now gathering men to carry out a space exploration program, which could be in space within a week. β
"I don't care." Doom said dryly, "Why do I need to care about him?" We were in the same college, yes, and I'll admit that I had a better relationship with him than any other idiot, but that doesn't make him any special. β
"Just a passing mention." Michael said meaningfully, "You don't care now, but you can't do it in the future." β

For most people, the alien invasion has officially come to an end. But for a few, it only means that more issues of concern have surfaced.
No one, including the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D., is yet aware of the nature of what the attack has revealed. They all felt that letting Thor take away the Cosmic Cube might divert the attention of the dangerous cosmic element called "Thanos", and maybe he would ignore the Earth because of it.
But Michael doesn't think so.
He is the only one who knows the true face and purpose of the Rubik's Cube of the universe. Thanos wanted it, not only because it contained infinite energy and the potential to change the laws of space, but also because it contained the space primordial in the most powerful weapon in the universe, the Infinity Primordial.
As far as Michael knew, there was more to the Earth than just one Infinity Primordial Stone.
The Spatial Primogem has now been taken to Asgard, and as long as Odin is guarding Asgard, it is safe. Then he also knew that Supreme Mage Ancient had the Eye of Agamotto in his possession, the Primordial Stone of Time, and that as long as Ancient One did not die, the Primordial Stone would be safe (even though she might not be dying, and even if she knew that, she would not allow Michael to do anything to change that fate).
The last thing left was the Primordial Soul Stone, the one embedded in Loki's scepter that had fallen on Earth.
Loki's scepter fell and was kept by the former Aegis, and then the Hydra, which was inhabiting the Aegis, unknowingly took the scepter and fell into the hands of Wolganf von Straker. When Michael took Straker's base and asked him about the whereabouts of the scepter, the baron said that the scepter had been removed and his whereabouts were still unknown.
And now the entire wreckage of the Hydra has been absorbed and digested by the Heavenly Sword, and all the leaders have been cleaned up, but the scepter has not yet appeared.
So the question now is - where did the Soul Primordial go?
***
Somewhere, in the dark.
A dim blue light lit up, and the dim light was released, illuminating the very limited area around the light source. The flickering light outlined the outline of a club, and it looked vaguely like a spear lying quietly on the table, like a wolf waiting for an opportunity to gather its dangerous breath, waiting to be called into battle.
Loki's Scepter.
Someone walked into the room. The scepter was picked up, held horizontally in his hand, and held close to him. The scepter's blue glow illuminated a dark purple mask attached to the dark purple uniform, wrapping the man tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes that shimmered with the sharp essence of a hunter.
Many years ago, he was also the leader of the Hydra generation.
His name was once feared by the Allies, and his status even threatened Schmidt, known as the Red Skull, who was considered a god by Hydra at the time.
Everyone thought he was dead, and even modern-day Hydra had forgotten this once-glorious name, one of their greatest leaders in history.
But soon, things will be different.
The man clenched his scepter, and a cold blue light emanated from the scepter, reflecting his eyes as cold as an eagle.
His name is Heinrich Zemmer and he is ready.
He wants to take back what is his.
