Chapter 100: Supreme Mage
When Louis officially intervened, the plot finally changed dramatically.
According to the original plot, Hydra's spy would successfully kill Dr. Erskine, and as the only person who had mastered the enhanced serum formula, Dr. Erskine's death caused Steve Rogers to become the only test subject, so Colonel Phillips, who was in charge of the Scientific Strategy Corps, did not take Steve with him even when he received the order to go to the front line to fight, but left him behind.
Senator Brandt came up with a better way to get Steve to contribute to the war effort: he toured the country and sold war bonds.
It has to be said that Captain America Steve Rogers is indeed talented in this area, and in the cities where he has performed and promoted, the sales of war bonds can increase by ten percent, which can be regarded as a huge contribution to the war, and Senator Brandt has also reaped a wave of prestige.
Until he went to the Italian front to perform and learned that his friend James Barnes had been captured and carried out a rescue operation without authorization, successfully rescuing a group of captured Allied soldiers, Steve was only a literary soldier.
Louie's intervention has led to a huge change in the situation, not only did Dr. Erskine not die in the assassination of the spy, but the Science Strategy Corps still retains the possibility of creating more super soldiers, and Steve Rogers is no longer the 'only' experiment, and is far less important than the original plot.
However, Louis suspects that even if Dr. Erskine is not dead, there is still no way to mass-produce Super Soldiers. After all, the vast majority of ordinary people don't have the same tenacious spirit as Steve.
What's more, the military's way of selecting people, it is difficult for the selected people to survive the last step of transformation, and even if they succeed, they may create a super bastard.
As for the weakened version of the potion, although the side effects of that thing are smaller, the enhancement effect is limited, at most it makes the soldier become a physically strong soldier, and in general, he is still an ordinary person, and on the battlefield, there is not much difference between a strong ordinary person and a healthy ordinary person, and the cost of this enhancement experiment is huge......
Coupled with Hydra coming to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, Louie's plan for the Allied death squad against Hydra was very much in line with Senator Brandt's needs, so before the spy's body was completely cold, Senator Brant had already agreed to assign Steve Rogers to Louie's command and became the first member of the Allied death squad.
"I'll take care of the compilation. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Senator. ”
Countless soldiers were cleaning up the mess, and when they were prepared, the spies who were guarding outside to answer were all shot dead by the soldiers, and when it was certain that they were safe, Mr. Senator and several other 'guests' left the laboratory under the protection of the soldiers.
At this time, Steve, who was wearing a shirt with the logo of the Science Strategy Corps and the word 'SSR' written on it, had not yet figured out what was going on.
"Looks like you're going to be under my command in the future, Steve. ”
"It's a pleasure to work for you, sir. ”
"Go back and get ready, we're going to Europe soon. ”
Because of the Hydra spy matter, Hydra has also entered the sight of the US military leadership, and the Science Strategy Corps will be sent to Europe, focusing on dealing with Hydra.
The Allied death squad plan proposed by Louis was quickly approved and became a formal formation, also attached to the Scientific Strategy Corps, with Major Louis-Hunt as the commander of the Allied death squad.
Before the appointment was officially issued, Louis was also given a vacation time, and he had to take advantage of these days to help Esther pack up her belongings and prepare to vacate her rented apartment and let her return to Los Angeles. Louis was not based in New York, and Esther could not go to the battlefield with him, so there was no need to stay here.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Esther also doesn't like the climate in New York, where the winters are too cold, and she misses California's warmer climate even more.
"When you get back to California, you can consider buying a house. "After dinner in the restaurant, I used to walk back to the apartment with Esther, and by the way, I thought about whether I should have a showdown with Esther to explain the situation?
If nothing happens, dealing with the Red Skull and Hydra should be the last task. And after going to the European battlefield, there is no chance to return to his homeland frequently, and he may not have enough time to come back to say goodbye after fighting Red Skull.
Before we set out, now is the perfect time to make things clear.
Before he could figure out how to speak, he saw a man standing in front of him, wearing a yellow robe and covering his head with a hood, making it impossible to see what he looked like.
Louis stopped suddenly, which made Esther, who was holding his arm beside her, a little strange, and following Louie's gaze, she also noticed this somewhat strange person.
"Do you know anyone?"
"Sort of!"
Louis didn't think it was a coincidence that this person appeared here, and he obviously came at him when he saw the other party's posture.
"Hello!"
The mysterious man in the yellow robe lifted his hood to reveal a hidden face, and Louis was not surprised at all when he saw this man's face: it was the bald female mage of the Ancient One.
"Major Louis-Hunt, I would like to speak with you alone. Gu Yi glanced at Esther next to him, and pointed to the dark alley next to him.
Louis didn't let Esther let go of his hand, but just patted Esther's tighter hands because of nervousness, signaling her not to be nervous: "Yes, but don't avoid her." ”
"Okay!" Gu Yi looked at Louie's face carefully, made sure that his words were what he understood, nodded his head, raised his hand and knocked on the empty position next to him, as if by magic, a large glass with an uneven surface seemed to appear next to Gu Yi, and then made a gesture to Louie.
Esther was even more nervous now, and she pulled Louie as if she wanted to stop Louie, and Louie had to comfort her softly: "Don't worry, it's okay." Then he led Esther to the 'glass', and then 'crashed' into it with a slightly frightened Esther.
It was as if she had passed through something, but as if she hadn't touched anything, and the strange feeling made Esther look behind her suspiciously, the 'glass' that seemed to float in mid-air was still there, and she had already reached the alley.
Just as she wondered what it was, the strange bald woman walked through the glass and came to them again, and then the glass suddenly disappeared as if it had never existed.
"What are you talking about?" Louie knew why this Supreme Mage who had found him, who had the ability to peep into the future, must be able to detect the changes he had caused, so it was not surprising that the Ancient One would do anything.
As long as she doesn't see herself and makes a move, it's not the worst situation.
And as the Supreme Mage of the Justice Camp, he did not specifically avoid Esther, which proves that the Ancient One has no idea of taking the initiative, otherwise she would not have let Esther also enter the mirror space.
Of course, it doesn't mean that he is absolutely safe, and in the case of absolute safety, he should find a random café, restaurant, or even chat at his house, rather than coming to the mirror space, which means that the ancient one keeps a proper guard against him.
"Actually, I don't know where to start, so why don't you start talking about where you started?"
Louis blinked, then uttered an answer that made the Ancient One laugh out loud: "Earth!"
"You have a good sense of humor, Major Hunt. ”
"It's okay, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fool such a beautiful wife. ”
Esther lightly hammered Louie, smiling so sweetly was obviously not angry, and at the same time the tension was relieved, but the doubts on his face became more and more obvious.
"Major Hunter, I've been watching you all along. Gu Yi didn't care about the behavior of the two of them wantonly throwing dog food in his face, but spoke to himself: "Before today, although you had an impact on this world, you didn't change much, but after today, ...... I can't see the future clearly. ”
Esther was confused when she said this, and her first reaction was that she had encountered a neuropathy, but Louis next to her seemed to understand the other party's words, which made her suspect that maybe she had a brain problem?
In fact, although Louie did a lot of things, it had no impact on the future of this world, even if the Yorktown was not seriously injured in the Battle of Midway and avoided the fate of being sunk subsequently.
But what is this? Even if the Yorktown persists until the end of the war, it will inevitably be demolished, and it will eventually disappear.
But when he participated in Captain America's life, it was different, and Captain America was a very important existence for the future of this world.
"So, can I know your true purpose?"
"Make this world a better place?" Louis looked uncertain, he didn't know if this answer was correct or not? What he had in his hand was the Mark of the Brave, and the tasks he gave should all be tasks oriented towards justice, right? If he came to this world frequently to carry out tasks, might he really make this world move towards a better future?
"Oh?"
"For example...... Don't give Thanos a chance to snap his fingers at all?"
This headless sentence made Esther next to him even more puzzled, which made Gu Yi stunned: this sentence revealed a bit of a large amount of information, but Gu Yi quickly recovered: "In that case, your current strength is not enough." ”
"I'm going to keep getting stronger and I'm going to have plenty of time. Louie deliberately accentuated his tone in terms of timing.
The ancient one on the other side changed from a smile to a much brighter smile: "I'm starting to look forward to what you call a better future!" and then didn't care that Louis and Esther were in front of him, opened a circular portal and walked in.
The bewildered Esther was stunned by this scene, and the conversation between Louis and the bald woman was not as shocking as this scene, and he almost instinctively asked, "What is that?"
"Kama Taj's teleportation spell. ”
"Huh?"
