Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Garden of Eden
Star-Lord followed Nick to the basement level of the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, the sunken elevator ran very smoothly, but the speed was not slow at all, Star-Lord silently timed in his heart, and it was not until ten minutes later that the elevator door opened.
"1500 meters!" Star-Lord instantly calculated the answer in his mind.
This 1,500-meter-underground building, made of alloy, plastic, and carbon fiber materials, seems to have a strong ability to adapt to deformation, and Star-Lord estimated that if you want to threaten such a base, nuclear war, solar storms, biochemical disasters, and world wars are very difficult, and at least a meteorite of more than ten tons will hit it head-on.
The structure of the base is complicated, most of the passages are closed, and Nick doesn't seem to have any intention of showing him around, so Star-Lord has to keep up with Nick.
After a few layers of doors that looked ordinary, but made Star-Lord instinctively feel like they were on their backs, the two of them came to a circular laboratory, which was a huge hollow sphere, which, judging by Star-Lord's perception, should be the center of the entire underground base.
The walls around him were made of an elastic metal material, which looked like plastic, and Star-Lord sneaked up and touched it, and the tentacles felt a flexible and oily force sliding the pressure exerted by him, Star-Lord was surprised, so he added a little force to his hand, and secretly brought energy.
The result is like touching a soft and tough film of air, and the repulsed force of the fingers slides slowly but firmly.
"It's energy repelling metal...... Nick glanced back at him, and passed on the meaning of 'I see you' with a meaningful look, and saw that Star-Lord was not embarrassed at all, so he continued with a pout: "It has a special property that can quickly transfer pressure when it is under energy pressure...... This makes it virtually indestructible. ”
"If it's true." Star-Lord looked at him in surprise and said, "Why don't you use it as a weapon?" You don't look like ...... Belch! Not so particular about people. ”
"Its conductivity and scale are related, a thumb-sized piece of energy repels metal, and its resistance to energy is similar to that of ordinary steel, and only if it has enough volume and mass to get it, its resistance will increase exponentially."
"Born prison material, I'm a little curious about what you're locked up here!" Star-Lord looked through the window of the Circle Laboratory, a glass made of high-strength material with golden veins running through it, which Star-Lord recognized.
The Asgardians used it to create a prison of gods, where the most dangerous prisoners in the universe were held.
The interior of the Ring Lab is a huge spherical space, its diameter is about one hundred and fifty meters, it is a huge space wrapped by the Ring Lab and other base structures, and at the bottom of the space is a very powerful anti-gravity device, which levitates a huge metal ball with a diameter of about 80 meters in the air, and the same energy repels the metal to create a huge, almost indestructible prison.
"Who are you holding here? Thanos? Or Odin? Star-Lord was dumbfounded: "The Asgardian technology is used here, and it is one of the best prisons in the universe...... If you are locked up here, it will definitely be like a nightmare! ”
"A terrible shadow, a cosmic nightmare." Nick obviously didn't want to say anything, but took Star-Lord to step onto a massless force field floating saucer, and slowly floated towards the air prison.
The spherical prison recessed into a semicircular hole, sucking the two of them in.
Star-Lord finally sees the prisoners in prison!
A young man of the yellow race, dressed in a researcher's white coat, walked between the test tubes and reagents, methodically analyzing data on the test bench. He seemed to be operating five or six experiments at the same time, and there were three researchers working on it next to him, but the tedious experiments that made the assistants scramble were as smooth as clouds in his hands.
Star-Lord, who is proficient in all the most advanced subjects in the universe and is an excellent scientist himself, suddenly feels the crushing of his IQ, some formulas and calculations that violate his common sense flash on the display, and some beautiful and symmetrical smooth formulas also glide through the display, like angels and demons dancing together.
He ...... He'......" Star-Lord pointed at the 'prisoner', and suddenly felt like a knot in his tongue, which he couldn't untie.
The expression on Nick's face changed, and a confusion mixed with fear and anger made the iron-clad director look a little embarrassed, and he nodded silently: "I don't know if it's a miracle or a conspiracy, and I don't know if it's an opportunity or a trap for the Demon King, but it just appeared!" ”
"In the last era of civilization, the era of the apocalypse, mutants and humans fought against the apocalypse, but they were destroyed by the Four Horsemen. The professor has been looking for ways to fight the apocalypse, but he finds that we don't know him at all, who is he? Where did he come from? What is he going to do? The most fearful thing is always the unknown. ”
Nick pointed his finger at the transparent cage and motioned to Star-Lord, "Finally, S.H.I.E.L.D. finished him!" ”
"Apocalypse clones, the man who calls himself Chen Ang."
"Impossible." Star-Lord didn't believe Nick's words at all: "You can't get the genes of the Apocalypse at all, and even if you do, it's useless, for that kind of being, they are the imprint of life itself, they are the only one!" ”
"Yes, we can't get the genes of Apocalypse, so we imitate him! What we are doing is not copying an apocalypse, but imitating the apocalypse itself. Recreating an apocalypse is just a disaster, but we can approach him. Nick replied.
"Through the highest technology of mutants and humans, we can accomplish this miracle."
"His genes are derived from countless mutants, but the main ones are three of them......"
"Darwin, an atavistic evolutionary with the ability to change genes to adapt to the environment!"
"Genetic mimics, who can imitate and change their own genes, have the most terrifying genetic potential among mutants - the Demon Girl!
"Those who have the ability to reproduce their personalities, who can absorb, learn, and imitate other personalities, change their own genes, and gain the abilities of other mutants-the faceless ones - a large group!"
"We have completed a perfect blank sheet of paper - a large group of people who imitate the personality of the Apocalypse, like seeds, we obtain the rudiments of the Apocalypse personality, and then in this body that can be perfectly adapted, imitated, and evolved, we recreate a likeness of the Apocalypse to peek into the secrets of this demon."
"He is the most perfect human body, and he will surely be able to reproduce the secret of the apocalypse's ascension from a human being to that existence!"
"He doesn't have any genetic material, because he contains all the genetic material, he's the mutant and the conceptual embodiment of humanity, and he's the embodiment of all of us alone -- because he's the human being and the mutant himself, you can call him Adam, or you can call him Satan, because he's the son of man and the ancient serpent incarnate."
"This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plan for the Apocalypse - the Garden of Eden."
"You succeeded?" Star-Lord looked at him like a madman, as if asking him rhetorically, as if asking him a statement.
"Yes, he had a part of his memory as soon as he was born. Now we know his name, and it could also be the name of the apocalypse - Chen Ang. Nick looked at Chen Ang's eyes with unusually sharp eyes.
"Maybe you see the shadow of the apocalypse in him, but he is not the apocalypse after all, and what can defeat him may not be a threat to the apocalypse, after all, the apocalypse that was once a human being has long been two different existences from the current apocalypse."
"We know!" Nick replied calmly.
"The professor helped us locate the similarity between his personality and the human personality of the Apocalypse, now it is only twelve percent, every time he gets a little closer to the Apocalypse, the similarity will increase a little, and when it reaches one hundred percent, he will become the embodiment of the Apocalypse, become one of his doppelgangers, and this change is irreversible."
"He will instinctively change his personality towards the Apocalypse, and the closer he gets to the Apocalypse, the stronger his power will become, and eventually he will be able to destroy us easily, and then the Apocalypse will come upon him and destroy everything."
"It's a warning!"
"Yes, it's a warning, but we have no choice!"
"Against the apocalypse, he is our only hope." Nick sighed: "The professor tells us the secret of how to control the Apocalypse personality, the key to controlling this personality change is himself, his own personality is like a lock, the stronger it is, the slower the speed of the Apocalypse." ”
"We are using the personality of the Apocalypse Human to limit the current personality of the Apocalypse, so that he can still maintain the posture of a human being."
"And what about his current attitude?" Star-Lord suddenly turned to Nick.
"Adam, the apocalyptic clone, is kind to us, his human personality is being perfected at a rapid pace, and we are helping him to perfect ......" Nick replied with some bitterness.
"It's not like S.H.I.E.L.D......."
"I wish we could slice him up and dissect him, but he's not something we can control, and it's not something we can offend or provoke, Apocalypse may not be unaware of our plan, most of the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. can successfully execute the Eden Plan may be that Apocalypse is also curious about this plan."
"Come on! I'll show you the consequences of the runaway plan......" Nick sneered, "What are the terrible consequences of human desecration in the face of the 'God' who may have created humanity......"
The door to the laboratory slid open in front of the two of them, Nick's speed was not slow, as one alloy door after another opened in front of Star-Lord's eyes, the two began to enter the base to get the other side, the closer they got, the more Star-Lord could feel some of the information revealed by the subtle traces around him.
A terrible catastrophe and destruction.
