Chapter 196: Hydra Meeting
There are no absolute secrets between the tops. In particular, S.H.I.E.L.D. is now on the cusp of a storm and is being watched by many people. Whatever Nick and S.H.I.E.L.D. want to do, they will be analyzed. The only one who can compete with S.H.I.E.L.D. for attention during this time is Luke's Hyperion.
But compared to Hebelen, who had always been with Stark before, he unexpectedly fell silent. Even Ina Shandra, who has always appeared in major media in the past, is very difficult to find her on the page of a certain media at the moment.
This was the case with Norman Osborne.
Nick and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s recent actions against the deviants have touched a sensitive nerve in him. Although the official statement to the outside world is to help those deviants regain a new life and produce corresponding results, he always feels that there is something hidden in it, and it is not as high-sounding as it is said to the outside world.
As an old giant, he may not be as good as Stark and Heblen in terms of technology, but he is not bad at networking. Even if there are a lot of new faces in the upper echelons now, it can't be difficult for him.
The closed nature of S.H.I.E.L.D. made Norman have a lot fewer channels to inquire about news, and there was a lot more trouble. But after wasting a lot of time and favors, he still knew some information that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
First up is Doctor Octopus Otto.
When he saw the name, Norman was still in a trance for a while. After all, in the early years, Osborne was also one of the funders of this Dr. Otto. The only pity is that the other party's technology had a major accident during the experimental verification. Then it was known to everyone that those two shrewd women controlled public opinion.
In particular, Dr. Otto's overly rigid and self-serving personality also made Norman and others have a bad opinion of him.
Occasionally, Norman could read information about the other side in some of the newspapers in the metropolis, most of which was about which bank branch the other party had looted, and how many people had been injured in a battle with a spider, the guardian of the city.
I originally thought that Dr. Otto would be like this, but I didn't expect him to reappear under his nose in another form, making him remember the other party again.
Especially this time, the other party merged with the mutant again.
Norman found the point in this. That's the Deviant!
Whether it's S.H.I.E.L.D., Stark, or Dr. Otto, the ones who connect them are all mutants! This couldn't help but arouse Norman's interest.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the metropolis have been infected with mechanical viruses, and such a big thing has already spread to all parts of the world. Even if the official tried their best to suppress the news in the early stage, the metropolis is not a small village, how can it be suppressed? As far as Norman knows, when the deviants appeared, many giants conducted some kind of research on some deviants through various legal and illegal methods.
So, what did S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly pay a few notches more to the deviants, because they found something? Or is there something unknown about the deviant?
Should Osborne Industries heed the call of the captain earlier and give the poor deviants a job to live on? At least some of them were elite before they were infected.
Norman decided to take a gamble.
Even if everything is still unclear, Norman is not a man who lacks decision. He knew very well that the people of their class were able to earn a lot of money and possess a lot of resources because they were so smart that no one could compare?
No, many of them are at best middle-class. But they are able to hold more information than the average person! Most of people's decisions and judgments are based on the information at hand.
Soon, Osborne sent out an invitation to some of the deviants, and without anyone expecting it, he joined the battle for the people. And Osborne's addition has also attracted more people's attention.
……
The basement of a villa.
In the dim and empty space, there was only one long table and nine chairs. Nine chairs sat several men and women.
"Why do you want to have a meeting? Could it be that something big has happened recently that requires us to work together? Or is it that Malik, you old thing, has heard the so-called message of God again? ”
The first to speak was a charming, beautiful, tall woman with large wavy green hair, hanging straight to her waist, and her slender fingers curled up, gently tapping on the long table table in hand.
"I've heard you've had a hard time in the last few years, Lady Sargsyan?" At the top of the table, the old man known as Malik smiled softly and replied softly.
Ophelia Sargsyan, the beautiful viper lady of the underworld, suddenly became gloomy when she heard this. She was not a city without a city, but there was no doubt that the words of the other party stung her deeply.
Ever since the unsuccessful attempt to fight Hebleen Luke in the early years, she has been unlucky, first when the city's lair is almost uprooted, and then when she is tracked down to use the power of the dark arts to quench her thirst.
She did manage to get rid of the pack of hyenas that Hebleen had raised, but instead, a more intractable group of mages joined in the pursuit of her. God knows what kind of life she had during that time! One of the head of the dignified hydra can only hide his identity and constantly change his position around the world to hide in Tibet.
When she finally made all the moves, thinking that she was using a stand-in to fool those mages and be safe, she just showed up and ran into the mages who were blocking her door, waiting for the rabbit.
At that time, she was completely confused! Although the two mages did not show hostility towards her, the chubby mage at the head threw out a mirror space first, and then the other mage handed her a stack of documents in due time, and the two smiled and made her sign the contract quickly.
After the two mages left, Madame Viper breathed a sigh of relief inside, she was not afraid of the two mages, but she was afraid of attracting the presence behind them. Just when she thought that everything was settled, as long as she didn't casually burst out of the power of black magic in the future, she would be safe and sound from before, Hyperion's hyena appeared in front of her almost seamlessly, and it was difficult to say whether the other party had anything to do with the mage.
During this period of time, Madame Viper's accumulated family wealth was almost wiped out by the hyenas, and those people were full of patience, just a little bit of her strength and power, and now Malik was still using this to taunt her, of course she wanted to explode.
"Don't worry about it, I hope you live to see your God." Lady Viper cursed coldly.
"The elixir of longevity produced by Hebleon is a good thing, it should be able to make me live to see the return of God! Then the whole world will belong to God and to us! Malik was like a devout believer, his tone was calm, but his zeal could be felt.
"Whew!" A sneer rang out in the darkness.
"Pierce, do you have any problem with my words?" Malik looked in the direction the voice was coming from.
"No one has ever seen your god, that's more of a legend." Alexander Pierce, one of the directors of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the leader of the Hydra gang at S.H.I.E.L.D., replied slowly while wiping his glasses with the corner of his coat bowed.
"How dare you doubt the existence of God? The origin of the hydra is from the beehive! And the reason why you have been able to develop to this day is also because of the support of our Malik and other families who spared no effort at the beginning! Malik's voice and countenance froze.
"We give you enough in return! We've helped you out of a lot of troubles, and every year we've picked a group of loyal agents to participate in your so-called dedication ceremony! Because of that ritual, we have sacrificed hundreds of elite talents! Pierce was unceremoniously-for-tat.
"They didn't sacrifice! I just went to the kingdom of God and became one with God! Malik corrected.
"Whatever you want, but this year's ceremony hasn't reached the agreed time yet, is it ahead of schedule?" Pierce indifferently put the polished glasses on the bridge of his nose, straightened them, and said nonchalantly: "Even if it's a ceremony, there's no need to call us all over for a meeting, right?" I've had a lot of things on my hands lately, and I'm short on time. ”
"I know! Your chosen successor is well done! He has managed to take S.H.I.E.L.D. to a whole new level! Even the influence is not limited to this planet. But how long do you think you'll be able to control him? God alone! Only the complete coming of God can give us true control of the world! As always, Malik carried his God in his words.
"Do we really need a God?" Another voice rang out.
"Straker, watch your words! You are disrespectful! Malik glared angrily at the speaker.
I agree with Straker that we don't need a God. We can be gods ourselves! Another man's voice rang out, and the words made Malik's face even more ugly. It was Whitehall, another snake head of Hydra, who spoke. With the exception of Zola, who is only data-conscious, the Hydra leaders have all gathered here.
"This is blasphemy!" Malik snorted.
"Times have changed, and while you are still holding the so-called gods, the gods that appeared on this planet have already appeared! Thor, the god of thunder, Odin, the god of Asgard! Nine Realms! The god you believe in may just be a powerful alien? Baron Straker shrugged his shoulders and said mercilessly.
"You have betrayed the faith of Hydra!" Malik looked around angrily at the snakeheads.
"What is the belief of Hydra? It's about controlling the world and making it work the way we want it to! How long has it been since the Malik family has been obsessed with welcoming back the so-called gods? Do you think that what I said about us being the new gods was just a meaningless remark? No, we can really be gods! Like the Asgardian Protoss, elevate the Hydra to the Protoss! Whitehall's eyes were full of fanaticism.
"How are you going to be a god? With those little inhuman toys of yours? Malik scoffed. However, his ridicule was only exchanged for Whitehall, as well as the contemptuous and disdainful glances of Straker and Pierce.
"It seems that your intelligence information has been outdated for a long time, and I think it's time to update it, instead of staring at a legend. Data Dimension, a dimensional world full of infinite possibilities! Its power radiates into reality! The shackles that limit the growth of our power have been completely broken, and I think we should preempt the data dimension compared to the so-called gods! Just as we once wanted to conquer the whole world, we will fight for it and occupy it with all our might! If we can win this time, then not only this planet, but the entire Nine Realms may be under our control! Whitehall's eyes gleamed with frenzy, and he said in an impassioned tone.
"The data dimension can help us transform an army of powerful and loyal superpowers! All we need to do is the technology we have at hand! Whoever uploads more technology will be able to get higher authority, more functions, and stronger power in the data dimension! In terms of technology accumulation, how many countries can compete with our Hydra? We also control a lot of scientific research enterprises and research talents. Baron Straker smiled: "I have already achieved some results, and two of them are particularly satisfying to me. ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D. will play an indispensable role in this." Pierce glanced at the two of them.
Whitehall and Straker looked at each other and nodded, "Of course, none of us will deny your contribution to Pierce. ”
"Enough! Don't put some unintelligible words anymore. Malik, who was the convener of the meeting, became more and more angry about the tacit understanding shown by the three of them, he slapped the table hard, and looked at the many snakeheads on the field with cold eyes: "Don't forget, at least one-third of the funds in your organization are provided by Malik and other families. ”
"Malik, I'll talk to them." A crisp female voice sounded abruptly in the dark space. This unfamiliar voice instantly made everyone present vigilant in their hearts.
"Malik, how dare you!" Madame Viper was the first to jump from her chair, and she was the only one in the room who had suffered a major blow, that is, she was the weakest of the few. This made her have to be on guard. After all, Hydra is not a harmonious, loving, and mutually supportive organization.
"Don't be nervous, my children." A tall woman came out of the darkness as if she had been in the darkness all along.
"Who is she?" Pierce and the others also frowned, and each prepared their own means of self-protection.
"She is a messenger of God! The one who has come to lead Hydra to the right path! Malik stood up respectfully and introduced with a feverish expression.
"Are you controlled, Malik?"
Seeing the frenzied look on Malik's face and the deference he showed to the strange woman, Pierce and the others shuddered.
