57. Harvest

The sun shines brightly on the Baxter Tower, and the dappled golden glow is embedded in the steel body of the skyscraper, reflecting the glittering light.

Sean stood quietly on the rooftop, the warm sunlight made him feel comfortable, as if the whole person was soaking in a hot spring, and the nerves tense from the continuous battle slowly relaxed.

“…… At around 10 p.m. last night, there was a mysterious shaking and sinking on 59th Street in the Clinth District, near Manhattan, and it was confirmed by the mayor's office that everything was due to the fact that Midtown Circle Financial Corporation, located in West Midtown, had been demolished last night because it did not meet the planning permission standards for the construction project......"

Sean listened to the report on the TV news, the corners of his mouth hooked a faint arc, everything has come to a successful conclusion, Erica has become the sole leader of the Hand and has the full support of Mrs. Gao, while Wesley has used the power of the Hand to completely control the business and turf of Hell's Kitchen, and those disobedient gang leaders have all sunk into the Hudson River.

Mrs. Gao, who survived by relying on compromises, handed over the property under her name to Erica quite simply, without any drag, this elderly woman does have extraordinary wisdom in life.

Of course, compared to these capital industries, as well as the development and growth of his own power, Sean's biggest gain comes from the keel remains buried in the ground, the legendary "holy relic" that can make people immortal and resurrect from the dead is actually just the skeleton fossils of alien species, which contain a huge amount of life energy, enough to rejuvenate people and prolong their lives.

Shaun is not like the leaders of the Hand who yearn for a long life, even with the delusional idea of immortality, and in his opinion, relying only on the remains of the dragon bones to continue life is equivalent to drinking water to quench thirst, and there is no point in it.

What he pursues is to strengthen himself and sublimate his essence, rather than surviving like a walking corpse.

Sean recalled that last night in the underground space of the Midtown Circle Financial Company, he deliberately angered the reckless Danny Rand with his words, causing this Kunlun Iron Fist to mobilize the "qi" in his body, swing a powerful fist, and hit the stone door engraved with an ancient seal, as the two familiar energies collided with each other, the mechanism set by Kunlun was activated, and the door was successfully opened!

Danny Rand, who had lost his usefulness, was knocked unconscious by Sean, he stepped into the space behind the stone door, and in the thick darkness, a huge biological skeleton appeared in front of him, like a dinosaur that lived tens of millions of years ago, even if it was long dead, and the huge remains condensed into fossil-like existence in the long years.

Standing in front of this huge skeleton, Sean can still feel the savage atmosphere of hundreds of millions of years ago, maybe they visited the earth before the endless years, just because with the passage of time, the vicissitudes of time have covered up the traces of the survival of these alien species.

At a time when technology was far from prosperous, Kunlun called them "dragons", and the remains were regarded as "dragon bones".

Sean stretched out his hand and touched the white bones of the keel remains, and suddenly, a huge vitality like a sea poured into his body, rising and sweeping like a tsunami, and his tall body trembled, as if every cell exploded in an instant, and he once again relived the intense pain of drinking the golden potion!

The unimaginable torrent of energy rushed and surging in the flesh and blood of the human being, Sean bent down in pain, his eyes emitted a faint golden light, and the mighty life energy surged in the body, every inch of flesh and blood seemed to be scorched by flames, and the extreme pain squeezed every bit of potential of this body.

The huge amount of life energy, like a flood bursting the embankment, continued to wreak havoc in Sean's body, and he felt everything in his body frantically decompose, and then reassemble, and keep repeating, like forging a rough embryo, until this flesh and blood body can adapt to the powerful and pure energy.

Consciousness sank into the silent darkness, the cold feeling of imminent death hit, and the fragments of memories of past and present lives intertwined with each other, like a fleeting glimpse of light, and finally the two completely different lives slowly overlapped and merged into one.

Sean suddenly opened his eyes, the pale golden light flickered, the surging vitality surged, making a huge sound of the tide rolling, and his heart "thumped" like a drum thundering.

His body has undergone a huge makeover, everything has improved dramatically, whether it is physical fitness, reflexes, or muscle density.

"That's my biggest takeaway." Sean looked at the densely populated and busy Manhattan Island, and his heart was full of satisfaction.

On the system interface in his mind, the progress bar showing the energy has advanced to twenty-five percent, and the keel remains that the Hand has dreamed of directly made Sean take a huge step, and the energy absorption has increased by leaps and bounds.

Spreading out his palm, the faint golden light slowly condensed, Sean smiled slightly, the huge energy not only made this body change earth-shattering, but also gave him another ability.

Energy Force Field!

Sean closed his eyes, his spiritual power radiated outward, and in the dark space of consciousness, all kinds of light intertwined, forming a huge and boundless spectrum.

Towering steel buildings, long queues of crowded traffic, and pedestrians passing by...... Everything has lost its original appearance, and the countless points of light in the void are like stars twinkling, sometimes like a wave, sometimes annihilated, born, and the cycle repeats, he observes the world from a microscopic perspective.

Taking a deep breath, the outstretched palm rotated like a whirlpool, attracting the energy tide in the void, and a flickering and rapid light burst out, the golden light was inconspicuous in the clear weather, and quickly dissipated into the air.

"This can be regarded as the completion of the transition from warrior to mage." Sean opened his eyes and said with satisfaction.

Even if the energy control was still rudimentary, he was getting closer and closer to the invincible sentinel anyway.

In the distant future, he may have to face off against S.H.I.E.L.D., THE Avengers, and even the infamous overlord of the universe......

So the road to power should be never-ending, and when the world is in crisis, when one's own safety is threatened, it is too sad to just expect superheroes to save oneself.

Superheroes are not omnipotent, and they will also have moments of powerlessness, pinning their lives and hopes on others, which is not in line with Sean's character.

For an insecure person, only one's own strength can maintain inner peace. This is a real and dangerous world, in movies or comics, every time a superhero saves the world and defeats the villain, these seemingly happy endings, I don't know how many innocent people die in despair and obscurity, even if they are as powerful as Superman in another world, they can't always play the role of savior.

Sean looked up at the sky and whispered, "This world needs a sun." ”
