Chapter 70: The Thread of Convergence

Above the surface of the research base, at the entrance of the gate that opened with a bang, a group of research institute security personnel rushed out of the underground tarmac and garage with vehicles.

Ophelia's frosty face was a rare flush, and she indifferently unbuttoned her chest, and her emerald green pointed nails cut the neckline of her dress like blades, revealing a large area of snow-white scenery and bruises.

The skin of the area injured by Ben twitched and floated a thick layer of bumpy and mottled dead skin, and the "Viper" grabbed the molt and tore it off, and threw it on the ground in anger, and the wound on his chest had disappeared.

「… Four, ran four transcendents who were close to level five or even level six of destructive power.... Go, apply for an audience for the 'Wolf's Lair'."

Ophelia gave instructions to the assistant who came next to her, and then got into the car, and instead of chasing the "stone man" in the direction where the "stone man" had fled, she drove away with other plans.

Reid Richards, Susan Stone, Johnny Stone, and Ben Graeme, four scientists and astronauts who have been eroded by the energy of the anomalous "Cosmic Storm", have emerged in extraordinary order in recent days.

Their genetic changes have shocked all the mutant power researchers, and they are not only completely different from the mutants' X-gene system, but also very stable and powerful.

According to the mutant power division system, all four of them have mutation potential in the alpha and gamma ranges, and they have exceeded the level 4 standard in terms of energy level index and destructive power, and even Johnny's body of flame has been experimentally speculated to be able to reach the energy level of the "supernova" explosion.

This kind of power is not weak even in the "Sirius Legion", where the strong are gathered.

Ophelia Green saw this thoroughly, so she was keenly aware of a serious question

Question——

At a time when the cutting-edge combat power is almost all gathered in the army's preparations, the executive officers in the "Whip of Order" team are complex to maintain social stability...... Most likely, there is no one who can overcome them.

Although Reed understood the old man's mood very well, with his knowledge of Ben for so many years, this man with a rough appearance and a soft heart should not be so crazy and angry.

Perhaps the mutated genes greatly affected his personality, or the love for his fiancée, Debbie, overwhelmed Ben's mind.

But Reed's immediate priority at this moment is to stop Ben Graeme before he can run into the downtown area of New York and cause chaos or even casualties.

Dr. Richards, who was like a rubber man, continued to catapult forward with the help of a large tree tree in the suburbs, and along the way, several broken tree trunks fell to the ground, and a dent like a bulldozer ploughed through the dirt and gravel was very conspicuous.

The rumbling sound of the earth in front of him became clearer and clearer, and the rocky body not only gave Ben super defense, but also brought immeasurable strength and physical strength.

In the previous days of testing, the "Stone Man" had exceeded the 50-ton strength standard, which allowed him to easily cross a distance of tens of meters with every jump, and run at full speed without stopping, not even much slower than a car.

Reed wanted to see more clearly, trying to catch Ben's running and jumping figure, his eyeballs subconsciously changed the volume of the outline, highlighting the olive-like shape.

The vision is like a telescope zoomed in, and suddenly they can see the yellow-brown figure hundreds of meters away as if they were in front of them, and the two have entered the confines of Brooklyn, New York City, and beyond the bustling commercial center.

"Ben this guy. Not to mention turning into a hard rock, why do you still run so fast..."

Reed wrapped himself around the top of a towering power tower, tightening his body in circles like screws, aiming at Ben's direction and flinging it violently, leaping hundreds of meters away and slapping Ben on the back like a kraft candy.

"Man! Calm down, it's not like you!"

Wrapped around the waist of the Stone Man, Reed stretched out his body and rushed in front of Ben Graeme, his hands stretching out and grabbing the trees or telephone poles along the street, slowing Ben's running.

"Reed, let's go... Open!"

Boom boom boom..

One

The trunk was pulled and bent, and Ben's speed was slowed down, but he still dragged Reed forward step by step, and the two of them fought against each other like huge rubber ropes and heavy trucks.

"Ben, don't blame me!"

Reed deformed his body and nimbly dodged Ben's fists, and he wrapped up from his ankles in circles, binding the hands and feet of the "Stone Man", no matter how strong he was, no matter how frantically he struggled, he couldn't break free from the strong rubber lock.

Residents on both sides of the streets of Brooklyn poked their heads out, while others simply stepped out of their homes and watched two extremely strange figures scuffle together, chatting with great interest.

"Isn't this an order enforcer catching a supercriminal? The one in the blue uniform stopped the stone giant, hey, that's cool!"

The community, especially the half-grown children, was particularly excited, as the concept of mutants and otherworldly humans had long been part of people's daily lives.

Although the probability of mutation is still slowly increasing, evolutionaries are still a small ethnic group in the world's massive population base.

Fantasizing about waking up one day and gaining magical powers, entering the Transcendent Academy and becoming a part of that world is the most extensive fairy tale for children of this era.

"Look! The Order Ship is coming!"

A bespectacled little bean pointed to the two "Eagle" supersonic fighters flying in the air and jumped excitedly.

The Whip of Order has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for decades as the first violent agency to combat mutant crime and other transcendent crimes.

There are even specially filmed movies and serialized TV series that are broadcast, and the ratings have always been high, especially loved by children and teenagers.

Beep! Beep!

After a few alarms and an announcement to disperse the crowd of onlookers, an electronic magnetic sound suddenly sounded in the spaceship:

"You have violated Article 3 of Section C of the Order Ordinance, as the owner of a special force, you are not allowed to fight each other in a crowded area, and immediately lie down on the spot and hold your head pending further action."

Reed blushed and gritted his teeth, and helplessly squeezed out a sentence from his mouth:

"Don't you see that I'm trying my best to control him?"

"Captain, I just received a notification from the group's research base, these are two accidental mutant personnel who ran out of the research institute, and one of them may be extremely emotionally unstable."

In the co-pilot seat of the spaceship, the white-faced bald order executive officer with strange blue and black lines on his face, like a demon's horn, nodded slowly after listening to the report of the team members, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the position of Reed and Ben, and calmly arranged:

"Public order standards, prepare for arrest."

A black scarring pattern suddenly appeared in the executive's palm, and as the twisting pattern of the wrist slowly rotated, two team members from each of the two ships, holding special energy suppression locks and vibranium chains, tentatively walked towards Ben and Reed.

Reed suddenly felt a tumbling cramp in his stomach, and he instinctively adjusted the tissue structure of his abdominal cavity to try to make himself comfortable, but then his head became dizzy again, and waves of dizziness hit, and his body quickly lost strength.

Executive Officer Lázaro, a gamma level 4 mutant with the ability of "disease control", used to be a member of the "Shockwave" Alex team, and the young man who participated in the capture of "Pai Huang" is now in charge.

His ability to influence and control the target's body can lead to various disease states or negative effects, making him a perfect fit for a captor.

But below, Reed Richards was indeed affected, but the "stone man" Ben was not as weak as Lázaro imagined.

Rumble!

Ben Graeme tossed the relaxed Reed into the air like a whip, and the rubber body wrapped around the wings of the law enforcement shuttle with a strong elastic inertia.

The long barrel device in the hands of the four members of the Order team spewed out chains and energy nets, but Ben grabbed them and smashed them into the surrounding houses with the four of them.

"The target violently resists, and kills with all his might!"

Two fighters suspended in mid-air at a height of more than 20 meters quickly released an energy weapon with a hexagonal barrel from under the belly compartment,

Ice-blue beams of energy slammed down one after another.

The ground of the street was blasted out of a molten pit, and Ben Graeme ran a few steps before being blown away by a bombardment in the back more than ten meters away, and then the rain hit the plantain-like energy cannon fire that quickly covered his body.

After the mutation into a "stone man", Ben felt pain for the first time, and the yellow-brown rock crust was blasted out of large scorched black marks, and even spread out thick cracks.

He raised his hand to pull up the fire hydrant on the side of the road and threw it at the shuttle, but the cannonball-like iron bumps failed to break through the special alloy shell doped with vibranium, but the fuselage was slightly crooked.

"Don't fire, don't fire! Stop, he's not a prisoner!"

Bang bang bang!

Reed thumped the plane's revolving window and yelled in an attempt to stop the Enforcer from attacking Ben.

Looking at Ben, who was being bombarded into a dimple in the ground little by little, Reed stretched his arm dozens of meters long to encircle the fuselage of another shuttle, pulling the two fighters at a crooked angle, splashing artillery fire into the surrounding houses.

Rumble!

Then the two shuttles shook and crashed into each other and crashed to the ground, and Reed watched Ben leap out of the pit and flee into the distance, ignoring the mess he had done, and chased after him again without looking back.

And a fiery red streamer rushed in the sky......

The Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn recently completed a statue commemorating the "Flight 826 crash".

Forty years ago, United Airlines Flight 826 and Global Airlines Flight 266 collided over the Brooklyn area of New York due to a tower command error.

Among them, Flight 266 crashed and exploded on the spot, and Flight 826, which lost its tail and had to make a forced landing, was led by Professor Charles Xavier and safely stopped safely with the help of a mutant team known as "X-Men" at the time, without causing any casualties on board.

This incident was the first public act of the evolution of new humans in human history, and was later hailed as an important symbol of the "new era of human mutation".

Rows of shaded pavilions lined the square, and vendors selling soda and juice were strolling around looking for business, and an ordinary-looking woman waved at the vendors and bought a dozen glasses of juice drinks of various flavors in one go.

The woman frowned and took out a small stack of dollars from her pocket, and did not ask or calculate the price, but simply threw it to the vendor and sat down with a group of people who seemed to be tourists from Europe to New York, who looked around indifferently and occasionally whispered to each other.

The Skrull Emperor Carter, who had become a blonde Nordic man, looked with interest at the scaled-down bronze sculpture in the center of the square.

The sculpture depicts three strangely shaped mutants blocking the crash-landed plane with their bodies, and two figures flying around the plane, with the general history and historical significance of the incident inscribed on the pedestal below.

"The shackles of genetic evolution that the Kree people have been trying to break through for thousands of years have become a natural occurrence for earthlings, and it is no wonder that this planet belongs to the 'World Tree, one of the nine great kingdoms in series, and it seems that there are many hidden secrets."

Carter thought to himself that the Skrulls had been in the distant past, and that they had flourished as the most powerful empire and race in the universe.

In the hundreds of years that they were defeated by the Kree Empire and exiled to the stars, they have seen many civilizations with strong individual strength or technological level, but they have never seen a race as young as the humans of Earth, with great potential and rapid progress.

This planet is simply a gift from heaven for the revival of the Skrulls.

Carter habitually trembled his ears, and the other Skuru royal clans who had changed into various human forms also moved their ears strangely, and they all cast their eyes into the air, and one after another shuttle fighters broke the sound barrier from a distance and flew quickly.

With the continuous sound of sonic booms from the sky, the ground of the Grand Army Square seemed to be rammed by construction machinery, and a huge yellow-brown figure rushed forward, followed by a strange object that was constantly elongating and ejecting.

"Reed! Stop, stop resisting, and don't escalate the situation any further!"

"Thunderbolt" Johnny slowly descended from mid-air and let go

Susan, the elder sister who held up the energy shield, put away the surging flames and looked at the shocked and envious eyes of the citizens around her with satisfaction.

Reed looked at the fighters in mid-air and quickly became a big fist, and shouted angrily to Susan:

"Sue, these so-called executors are like police officers who treat us like '', and I can't put my own safety and Ben's in their hands!

Rumble!

The fire fired at Reed by the law enforcement fighter was blocked by the energy shield held up by Susan, and Reed threw a "rubber fist" with his backhand, and then jumped up and exploded the porthole with a punch on the deck of the shuttle.

Susan watched as the crowd around her was quickly evacuated, and the seven or eight law enforcement fighters in the air seemed to be about to destroy Reed and Ben's posture with full firepower.

The dozen or so Skrulls did not move away as quickly as the ordinary people in the square, they still sat on the sidelines and watched.

This sudden event became the most interesting thing they encountered when they came to earth.
