13. Offerings
"I can sense that there are many humans in this city who are qualified to be great Inhumans..."
"Find them and send them here..."
"I will grant them glorious elevations, and transform them into true nobles. ”
Dressed in his black Inhuman-style robes and holding an inactive Terrigen Crystal in his hand, Maximus walked up and down the empty laboratory, babbling like a madman:
"It's not enough!"
"I need more!"
He turned his head irritably, looked at Rumlow who was standing beside him with a calm expression, he walked quickly to the commander of the special operations unit, and shouted:
"What are you waiting for!Bastard, go and carry out the ruler's orders!I need more test subjects!I'm going to create my army, I'm going to fight back against Attillan!Go now!"
"I command you!"
Rumlow was unmoved, just looked at the guy in front of him with a look of pity and disdain, since 3 days ago, this guy tried to use the Terrigan Crystal to awaken a second time, but failed again, his spirit is a little abnormal.
In other words, the younger brother of the Inhuman King, under the blow of negative failure, is already a little insane.
"Come out, Rumlow, let our new "friend" calm down and stop irritating him. ”
Pierce's order came from the headset, and Rumlow took a few steps back and exited the lab, leaving only the madman-like Maximus yelling there.
"I've been busy discussing some policy issues with Congress these days and haven't paid much attention to it, so who can tell me what's going on?"
Pierce sat in front of the monitor, looking at Maximus, who was obviously mentally abnormal, he turned his head to look at Whitehall in the researcher's uniform, and said suspiciously:
"Did you experiment with him?"
"No! not me. ”
Hydra boss Daniel Whitehall pointed to Maximus in the monitor with a little crying and laughing: "3 days ago, this guy took advantage of my inattention, snatched the Terrigen crystal, hid in the laboratory for ability awakening, and when our people found him 1 hour later, he was already like this." ”
Whitehall pushed the small round frame of the eye, and a hint of disdain flashed in the eye:
"This is a racist with lofty ideals, but he is a poor creature who can't bear the pressure, he wants his Inhumans to rule the world, he thinks that the Inhuman blood is more noble than the human bloodline, but unfortunately, he himself does not belong to that noble bloodline, and he can't stand the blow of reality so he goes crazy, but speaking of which, his mutation is not a failure, he may not have noticed it himself, and his brain cell activity is in an unimaginably extremely active state. ”
"He's mutated, it's just that he doesn't know it. ”
The pensive Pierce was silent for a moment, and a gleam flashed in his eyes:
"According to your character, if he is useless, you will definitely not keep him..."
"I'm just saying he's vulnerable, not that he's useless. ”
Whitehall clicked on the keyboard in front of him and cut to another room, where heavily armed guards were using their electric shocks to try to subdue a man who was howling wildly, and with a wave of his hand, a tall, muscular guard flew out and was once again thrown to the ground by the guards who swarmed him.
"This is the "piece" that our dear Maximus spent 10 minutes yesterday making!"
Whitehall's eyes shone with the curiosity of a researcher, and he said in a deep voice:
"He used a special method to safely activate the Terrigan Crystal, and successfully activated the Inhuman bloodline of the homeless man, increasing his strength by 5 times and bone density by 3 times, and that method is very unique, as long as we master it, we can make enough Inhuman warriors at any time. ”
"In addition, he has another role. ”
Whitehall wiped the lenses of his eyes and said loudly, "I'm going to make him a sacrifice to summon the hive... According to Gideon's family, the Hive, the first Inhuman to be transformed by the Cree, has a special kind of diffuse parasitic system, and his overwhelming advantage over other Inhumans also comes from this thing, and with the continuous transfer of his body, he can theoretically even achieve immortality. ”
"After I got the news, I did a lot of experiments, and finally found that instead of trying to find a way to control the hive directly, we should give him a "perfect" body. ”
"Huh?"
Pierce's eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively, "For example?"
"For example, a small high-energy bomb is built-in, and it doesn't need to have a large explosion range, as long as it ensures that it can perfectly incinerate every cell of this body..."
Whitehall crossed his chin with ten fingers and looked at Maximus in the monitor, and he said in a sinister voice: "Another example, inject some highly addictive drugs, or simply fill his body with controllable biological viruses, by the way, I remember that there are many potions made from the brain fluid secretions of the "Master of Illusions"... We can try this way. ”
"You're going to coerce him in this way?"
Pierce wasn't a professional scientist, but just hearing about these crazy plans, he felt a little unreliable: "You're dealing with a god from an ancient era, is this really useful?"
"God?"
Whitehall turned his head to look at Pierce, and a sparkle of disdain flashed in his eyes:
"Do you know how many self-proclaimed "gods" I have dissected with my own hands over the years? I don't rule out that there really are gods in this world, but the hive is definitely not one of them, he is just a relatively lucky primitive man in ancient times, relying on the fighting genes left by the Cree people to rule the Inhumans brutally, if he really has one ten-thousandth of the power he preached, how could he be banished by the Inhumans together?"
"Don't think too highly of him, Pierce, he wouldn't be even the most ordinary agent if it weren't for the parasitic cells in his body that are almost invincible to Inhumans... And the best part is that that kind of cell is useless to humans!"
"Bang"
Whitehall's finger tapped on the table in front of him:
"He's just the King of Inhumans, but he's not a special creature like Cyber Hawk who almost transcends his life level, his own strength is not worth mentioning, if necessary, a nuclear bomb can completely wipe it out, not to mention, if he's a sapient being... Maybe we don't need such a violent way, but I don't really mind that there is one more Inhuman civilization in a world ruled by Hydra. ”
"Actually, I don't mind much... If you're completely sure, go for it!"
Pierce's fingers rubbed back and forth, he squinted and thought for a moment, and finally, he nodded:
"The search for the Red Skull is not going well, instead of wasting time like this, let's start our domination of the world first, and finish what should have been done 70 years ago, when you are ready, contact Gideon, we will first get the "Inhuman King" back, first form our Hydra Inhuman army, and when the world is in our hands, it is not too late to divide the spoils. ”
"No hurry, no hurry!"
Whitehall put back on his funny little round-framed eyes, and he looked at Maximus in the monitor:
"I need to give him a little "makeover" first, and when I dig out all the secrets of his mind about the Terrigen Crystal, that's when we meet the Inhuman King. ”
"Okay, I'll go and appease the parliamentarians who are still wavering, order is necessary, if we can peacefully take over the rule of this country, why don't we do it?"
Pierce stood up, straightened his clothes, and said with a hint of pleasure:
"After waiting so long, the reign of Hydra is finally about to begin, and King of the World? ”
It was as if a silent darkness began to spread over this country, and in an unknown time, like an infectious disease, it was paralyzing every vein of this country, and one day, when it broke out, it would completely destroy everything.
But the good thing is that at this time, there will always be some people named heroes who will step up and put an end to this terrible spread before everything is irreparable.
"Goo-goo-goo"
At the mouth of the Hudson River, in the darkness, an unusual series of blisters emerge from the bottom of the water and burst open like naughty fish playing, but moments later, a large dark body flashes silently through the water.
In the faint light at the edge of the estuary, you can see the black shadow slowly rising, it is a human... But he wasn't exactly human, his head was bare, hairless, but he had a fin like a fish, and beyond his hands and feet, there was a frog-like pu, which allowed him to move quickly through the water, and on his head, there was a strange pattern that, if you looked closely, it was no different from the pattern on Karnec's forehead.
"Goo-goo-goo"
Two strings of blisters surged out of the cheeks around his neck, and he looked up, took a look at his surroundings, closed his eyes again, and took a deep breath, and a moment later, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"I've found the traitor! Karnik! right underground near me!"
"Take us there, Tritan, we've wasted too much time on Earth, it's time to put an end to this stupid rebellion!"
Karnik's voice sounded in the liaison in Cui Tan's ear, and the fish-man quietly dived underwater again, along the intricate waterways of the port, constantly downward, and finally entered the sewers of New York in all directions, this guy's speed in the water is amazing, even the original underwater mutant plaice can not be compared, like a sharp arrow that crosses the water, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a flash.
Little by little, his keen senses spread through the water, until he came to the sewer closest to Maximus's breath, he came out of the water with a special breathing apparatus, the water splashed in the air around him, he walked to the dark and filthy sewer wall, reached out and sensed it, and the next moment, he clenched his left hand into a fist and smashed it against the wall.
"Boom"
Behind him, the raging water formed a giant fist of flowing water, easily destroying all obstacles in front of him, and even the Hydra agent who was standing guard on the other side was suffocated and drowned in the crazy surging waves.
The flowing water mixed with blood slowly passed behind Cui Tan, and he strode into the passage in front of him, the high-level Inhuman abilities were fully used, and the agents who rushed out from all corners were swept up by the surging waves before they could shoot, and slammed on the ground, this Inhuman royal family, like the god of the sea who manipulated all the flowing water, strolled into the place where Maximus was.
It was a dark, vast laboratory, and he pushed open the door to see Maximus, who was bound to a steel stand, the defector was already unconscious, and he still had injuries from the torture, which made Tritan's gaze immediately difficult to see.
"Welcome to today's event!"
With a magnetic voice, all the lights in the entire dark laboratory turned on at this moment, Cui Tan raised his head, his eyes quickly changed color in the violent light changes, and he saw the person standing in front of the light, it was an old human man in a smart suit, he held a black stone in his hands.
Gideon Malik, the last heir of the most orthodox Hydra, looked at Tritan below with a cold gaze, and said in a deep voice:
"Your thousand-year-old rebellion is coming to an end, Inhuman, you don't know who you're up against!"
"Karnik!
Tritan's voice rang out over the intercom: "Come here! The human madman is trying to summon the hive! They have the hive's seal stone in their hands!"
"Huh"
In less than 2 seconds, a burst of blue sparks flew around, and in the darkness behind Cui Tan, the oppressive body of the big dog tetanus appeared behind Cui Tan, and Karnik, who was ready for battle, rode on his sad, crystal hands were opened, and the power of the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth vibrated in her palm.
Finally, there's Coulson and the agents, and a tall Inhuman warrior with an extremely strong body with a pair of recurved hooves and a heavy battle axe.
"Gideon!"
The moment Coulson saw the fanatical old man on the second floor, his eyes widened, he knew this guy, isn't this one of the members of the World Security Council? This is one of the most powerful people in the world, and he is actually a Hydra man!
"Good!
Gideon threw the black stone in his hand to the ground with a flick of his hand, and behind Maximus, the blue cosmic cube had begun to charge, and in less than 1 second, a portal of chaotic energy was opened, and the stone was thrown into it, like a drop of ink dripping into the water, and it vibrated in an instant.
"King of the Inhumans, your faithful followers welcome you back after a thousand years! We offer our best sacrifices, O ancient gods, come back!
In Gideon's roar, a strange figure walked out of the portal step by step, and the moment it came into contact with the earth's air, his body turned to ashes as if it had been burned, but the next moment, Maximus, who was hanging on the cross bracket, was awakened from his coma by severe pain, however, another evil will had taken over his body, and caused his body to undergo extremely terrible changes.
"Whew... I'm back!"
