Chapter 363: Symbiotes and Monsters [Part II]
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Triple Wing Building.
In the conference room, Nick Fury is squinting and recuperating. He was a little tired during this time, with less than three hours of sleep a day, and although his body functions were at their peak under the conditioning and improvement of various drugs and technologies, this did not mean that he would not feel tired.
He even played with various machine clones to help with some complex and tedious affairs, and he was only involved in the problems that needed to be decided. Even so, the vast number of filtered affairs still gave him a lot of headaches. Especially the big project that has been recently.
Two rays of light painted in the conference room, and then a few people came out of the aurora-like light curtain.
Luke, dressed in simple clothes, is single.
On the other side was Loki, who was dressed in golden armor like antlers and carrying a scepter, and next to him was Norman Osborn, who had a somewhat haggard face.
Sensing someone coming, Nick opened his eyes and stood up from his position, this time he was only acting as an intermediary and providing a place to communicate, so after a brief greeting, he didn't say anything more.
"It's been so long, I think you should be able to come up with an answer, talk about it, it depends on the situation." Lukla opened a chair and sat down, looking at Loki across from him and asked.
"What do you want to know?" Loki transformed his armor into normal clothes and sat down. His face was also not good-looking. At this crucial point in attacking other universes, there was a problem with the Time Management Bureau under his management, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face, and he could already imagine what kind of tone and look his sister with a bad personality would use to mock him when she heard the news.
One thing to say, he really didn't want to see that happen at all.
It wasn't the main base that was attacked, but maybe it was just because the main base was well hidden.
Loki is now the most desperate person to find that intruder and inflict all kinds of punishments on him. Because of the other party, all these years of his conscientious work have almost become a joke.
God is pitiful, he really didn't cheat and play tricks this time, and he was not indulged in pleasure. In the Time Management Bureau, he still put a lot of effort and energy into it. After all, there is such a vicious sister who stares at him all the time, saying that walking on thin ice is a bit harsh, and that it is not an exaggeration to say that she is conscientious. Because of this, this attack made him even more angry.
"Enemy." Luke asked tentatively. However, he didn't have much idea, if he really found the enemy, with Loki's temperament, he would have raised manpower to retaliate back a long time ago. Even if for some reason he couldn't get revenge, he would come to his brother, or his father, or Heblen, for help.
However, although the other party has been moving continuously in the past few days, there is no news worth celebrating.
"It may have something to do with Kang's remnants. Because the technology of the other party's invasion is in the same vein as the technology of the Time Authority, and he knows the rules and maps of the Time Authority very well.
He had a high purpose, and he came to ransack the Time Authority. I need to state that Time Authority 03 didn't fall, it just became chaotic for a while because of the invasion. The whole process didn't take more than half an hour, and if it wasn't for the other party's fast escape, my manpower should be able to catch him. Loki replied through gritted teeth.
"What about the losses?"
Luke was noncommittal about Loki's words, and Nick Fury on the other side acted as a listener with a blank face. But neither Foreign Affairs Capital Luke, who was in charge of everything outside of Silent City, nor Nick Fury, completely believed Loki's words.
Who gave Loki the priesthood of deception, the god of deception? He is a lie, and if he doesn't use some technical means, no one can tell the truth of Loki's words. When it comes to lying, the other party is the real master. Maybe this sentence is true, but the next sentence is false, and the purpose is to simply deceive people or lead you into the pit.
It doesn't make much sense for Loki to lie in this kind of matter, but his words, without corroboration, still can't be fully believed.
For example, he has some glorification of the response ability of the Time Authority 03.
"Lost some technical information. The other party's goal is clear. I suspect he's here for those things. Loki slammed his fist into the tabletop, and fine cracks suddenly appeared on the solid wooden tabletop. Seeing this scene, Nick narrowed his eyes, and the corner of his eye roamed back and forth between the table and Loki, and while he began to increase the price of the table in his heart, it was an estimate, and began to prepare a list of compensation to Loki.
"Concrete!" Luke knocked on the table with some impatience, interrupting Loki's tirade of avoiding the important, he could see that there must be some important technology that had been lost to make Loki so vague and dodgy at the moment.
And there's no way Luke can let Loki just play dumb and fool around.
What's more, if Luke wants to get past Loki's inventory, it is not difficult to find out what the other party has lost. Even with Loki obstructing it. And Loki is clearly aware of this.
Who made the entire Time Authority's systems and rules authorized to him after Luke modified them? He's not the owner, he's just a worker. Although he has been reluctant to recognize this.
"Some of the information about the manufacturing technology of the new energy, of course, what is lost is the previous generation technology that was eliminated by Heblen and can be spread elsewhere." Loki rubbed his hands together and threw out a message that shook Nick's spirits.
"They're not going to be eliminated." Luke corrected Loki, didn't bother to speculate on anything from the other party's expression, and asked directly again: "What else?" ”
If he just lost this technique, Loki would probably be more relaxed. After all, the technology itself can be made public, and even Luke Hybullom would not like to promote and spread it all over the universe.
Why?
Because this technology, as Luke said, is not obsolete and obsolete, but it is just a little more hidden. When Hebelent licensed this technology to the Time Authority, it did not license the corresponding solution along with it.
This means that if someone obtains this technology and uses it, they will certainly be able to develop powerful energy technology in a short period of time, and even create gods, but the flaw is that the deeper they go, the more dependent they are, and the more dependent they are, the more they will not be able to get rid of the influence of Hyperion.
This is like the operating rules of human society, when you build a framework of rules at the beginning of your establishment, and a set of rules that you secretly abide by because of human nature, then when you follow this set of rules, your road will be much smoother, but this does not mean that this approach is right. You want to wait until you are strong to reshape this set of rules and break this set of rules, but when you are really strong, this set of rules is still binding you, making you like a quagmire and struggling.
It's a poison, and you can enjoy the convenience it brings you, but it also means that you have completely tied your future to this high-speed chariot. Jumping out of the car is shattering.
So losing this technology is serious to say, but it's actually not. Luke even wished that the other party would quickly eat it and fast forward to large-scale assembly and use of this technology. It doesn't matter if it's a revamped version. If you don't move the core, then all the other changes are minutiae. After changing the core, the other party has this talent and strength, so he can naturally see the hidden dangers of this technology, and there is no need to covet this technology.
So to make Loki embarrassed like this, there must be extremely bad news in the future.
"There's also some related technology." Loki opened his mouth, his eyes wandering a little, but in the silence, he seemed to know that his concealment was a bit ridiculous, so after simply calming his emotions, he said directly: "It's the latest technology you handed over to the Time Authority that involves war." ”
"Beast?" Luke's eyes narrowed.
"Wait a minute, may I ask, what is a beast?" Nick on the side couldn't help it, it has always been the S.H.I.E.L.D. responsible for inheriting Hebolen's technology and distributing it to make the best use of it, but what is a beast?
Is it the extraordinary equipment of the Once Upon a Beast series?
Or is it an upgraded version of the extraordinary equipment of the Beast series?
"A living organism that exists on the basis of new energy." Seeing that Luke didn't stop him, Loki thought about it and gave an answer that he thought was appropriate.
"It's an energy embodiment of life! It can be connected to pre-civilization legends and presented as such. For example, these. Luke said, tossing a few beads from the air that had been pieced together from tiny parts in the center of the conference table. Light erupts from the beads, and a virtual picture is presented to those present. Including Norman Osborne, who was silent on the side, all looked at the picture intently.
On the screen, there are ugly and hideous, seemingly full of oppressive and vicious huge creatures, in the data list information on the screen, the shortest one of the huge creatures appears, also more than forty meters tall. The largest one, even the size of a small galaxy!
"What is this? Mutant creatures? Or is it a monster created by some kind of technical means? They don't look like energy creatures at all. Nick looked at the monsters that made people feel terrified just by looking at them, calmed the heart in his chest that was beating violently due to inexplicable stimulation, and looked away.
"It's a product of the dark side. The technology of Hebelun is strictly a one-and-a-half generation, and it has been modified according to the needs. It can produce new energies, but again, these energies will find their own hosts.
Intelligent civilizations such as humans, who can collect and harness positive energies, represent the dark side, and they will find it difficult to control, and can cause people to lose control and bring all kinds of bad consequences. So they're going to try to get rid of it as if they were dealing with nuclear contamination.
But the negativity of darkness will not disappear, the more they come together, the more they will go beyond a certain boundary, they will produce alternative changes and spill over to the surroundings.
Once a lifeform comes into contact with and contains these dark energies, it will be transformed into these monsters on the screen. Of course, if there are no lifeforms that can accommodate them, they transform into dark beings like elemental beings.
The new energy has just swallowed and assimilated the energy of another universe and has acquired its properties that do not need to be modified, and will in turn overwrite all the energy produced before.
In another universe, different energies affect the transformation of life into their own form. And the new energy now has that. Luke explained to Nick and Osborne, who was listening carefully.
"In other words, they are a kind of psionic weapon?" Nick pondered, giving an answer that he understood.
"You can't say it's wrong to think so. Because the creatures created by these dark condensations, when they are not done in the right way, are inherently difficult to communicate and have a strong desire to destroy. In other words, once they appear, they can be regarded as a natural disaster.
What's even more terrifying is that they can be wiped out, but not exterminated. Unless it's the civilization that uses psionic energy, gives it up completely, or gets extinct.
But if it is extinct, the entire civilization will be transformed into a ghostly dimension-like existence by psionic energy. As for giving up completely, can humanity give up on the Internet? Can you give up technology? It may not be difficult in the beginning, but these hidden dangers will not erupt in the early stage, but all you see are benefits. The most important thing is that even if you give up, can you completely eradicate the psionic energy that already exists?
Impossible. The difficulty and parasiticism of psionic energy is a headache for me, the creator, sometimes. But who made it a part of the Buddha-figure now? Luke grinned and replied somewhat lightly.
Comparing what Luke said into human civilization, Nick and Norman couldn't help but shudder and felt extremely stressed. Especially Nick, who even had difficulty breathing when he thought of that scene.
From his experience, it was easy to guess what would be the picture that would take place, and that would be a constant stream of dark psionic beings clashing with the civilization in which they lived. A war that lasts forever will be as ingrained in this civilization as the norm. And disasters and wars will make the psionic and dark psionic energy more lively and strong.
Nick believes that Luke, who always likes to be one ring after another, must have some unknown tricks and feet in it, such as locking up some psionic information, making the civilization that has obtained psionic energy misjudge the dark psionic energy, and so on.
He alone can come up with several imperceptible big pits in an instant. Unconsciously, the universe that has spread psionic energy, whether it wants it or not, does not need every civilization to completely conquer it, and over time, it will automatically become a part of the psionic energy step by step.
Is this how Luke hunts and grows apart from the Demon Gods of other dimensions?
