Chapter 133: The Traveler's Ring
Over the next few days, Azu retold the knowledge of interstellar travel he had learned from the Kryptonian spaceship and passed it on to Su Rui and other Wakandans.
During this time, Su Rui asked a question, but of course Azu couldn't answer, so he gave her an unfathomable smile and didn't explain.
This Wakanda princess would be mistaken, thinking that Azu was deliberately testing her, and suddenly, Su Rui's enthusiasm for learning was high, and at the same time, Azu's eyes were a little different.
It's a pity that Azu is not interested in chimpanzees, not to mention that Su Rui is still a rib essence, and Azu is not hungry to eat this.
On this day, Azu finally finished teaching the knowledge related to interstellar travel, thinking that he could take time to study the Cosmic Rubik's Cube next, when he heard an exclamation outside.
Azu hurriedly came to the living room, only to see someone open the door, but outside the door was a colorful light.
The cosmic gate is open!
"Great conqueror, what is this?" T'Challa was also seeing this anomaly for the first time, and couldn't help but look at Azu.
Azu said lightly: "It seems that I have to leave for a while." β
"During my absence, you must study the knowledge I have passed on to you, and strive to achieve interstellar travel as soon as possible."
He looked at the Prince of Wakanda.
"Plus, you help me keep an eye on those superheroes and keep track of their whereabouts."
"Special attention to Iron Man and Captain America."
"At the same time, use the international influence of Wakanda to put a little pressure on those superheroes and don't let them run around the world."
T'Challa nodded hurriedly, to say that he had conquered Wakanda by force by Azu before, he was still a little unconvinced. In the days that followed, he witnessed how Azu played S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers in the palm of his hand.
And it also imparted the knowledge of interstellar travel in Wakanda, whether it is force or knowledge, it is clear that the conqueror is not in the same dimension as Wakanda.
T'Challa now has no other than awe.
"Bring me Miss Lin."
After Azu finished speaking, he went back to the room to get the suitcase containing the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and then returned to the living room, where Lin Aida had already arrived.
After Azu explained the situation, he took the girl into the universe gate and returned to the black-robed universe.

Above all dimensions of dimension.
In a world that cannot be described in words, there is such a room.
This room resembles a command center, with countless holographic screens floating in it, and in one of the screens, Azu is showing the image of Lin Aida walking into the Universe Gate.
At the bottom of this screen, there is a string of numbers: 820412.
Then there was a heavenly sound, like a beautiful piece of music, but when it was parsed into the language of the earth, it took on this content.
"Numbered 820412 have completed two 'Multiverse Events' and have been given a focus marker."
"Number 048840 has completed three 'Multiverse Events', given a focus marker."
"Number 455620 has completed five 'Multiverse Events', given Special Attention Markers."
If Azu were here at this time, he would see that in those screens, among the countless screens, were 'motherland people'.
There are tall women wearing blue uniforms, wearing colorful striped flags, blonde hair and blue eyes. Sitting on a throne, men kneeling on the ground and scrambling to kiss her toes.
There are also men who are 10,000 feet tall, with their hands on their hips, laughing, looking down at the small humans like ants below, and building statues of the motherland.
There are strong rats in blue suits, aliens with multiple eyes and legs, and demons with burning eyes and hair.
All kinds of people from the motherland appear on one screen after another.
And these screens, there are too many to calculate.

Just like entering the Marvel Universe, when leaving, Azu's eyes were just full of confusion, and all he saw was colorful lights, and the next second he saw the street at night, saw a pedestrian hurriedly passing by him, and glanced at Azu.
Azu turned around again, and it was the piano shop where Lin Aida worked.
"We're back, Kobayashi."
Lin Aida said: "Where are we now? β
"Outside the piano shop, it looks like we've just come out of it, and lo and behold, the door isn't locked yet."
With that, Azu locked the door of the piano shop.
"Let's go, I'll send you back."
After dropping Lin Aida off at the apartment building in Chinatown, Azu flew straight through the window as soon as he walked into the rental apartment opposite Lin Ida.
He flew in the direction of the Tower of Seven, and the first cosmic speed allowed him to quickly return to the Tower of Seven.
At this time, lines of information appeared on his retina.
[The multiverse event 'Avengers' has ended!] γ
[Now for incident evaluation and settlement.] γ
[The evaluation is complete, as follows.] γ
[1 You conquered Wakanda, changed some of their beliefs, changed their fate, and gained 'Proficiency Essence'*25 and 10 tons of vibranium.] γ
[2 You destroyed a S.H.I.E.L.D. air carrier, including a large number of people on it, and obtained 'Proficiency Essence'*10]
[3 You changed the fate of Hawkeye Barton and gained 'Mastery Essence'*20]
[4 You have defeated the Zetari army and obtained an elite unit of 100 Zetari (which can fight in outer space), a Zetari starship, and 'Proficiency Essence'*32]
[5 You influenced Tony. Stark's idea to acquire the technology to manufacture an 'arc reactor'. γ
[6 You have completed the second Multiverse Event, obtaining Multi Crystals*14]
Read the information.
"Well, this time I harvested more 'proficiency essences' and 'multi-crystals'."
"In addition, vibranium, Zetari elite troops, starship and arc reactor technology were obtained."
"There are a lot of miscellaneous things, but compared to last time, there are no items that can directly improve my own."
"However, in the Marvel Universe, I used the 'Mind Gem' to complete a transformation and evolution, and this harvest is not comparable to a 'Cloak of Justice' and 'Seeds of Destruction'."
"What's more, I also brought back the Cosmic Rubik's Cube."
"This invisible benefit far outweighs the reward given by the event."
Thinking of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Azu opened the suitcase.
He jumped all at once.
The Cosmic Cube in the suitcase is now an ordinary crystal block.
There is no light!
There is no breath of energy either!
"This"
Azu slapped his forehead: "Could it be that the Cosmic Rubik's Cube can only work in the Marvel Universe?" β
He immediately regretted that he should not have passed on the knowledge of interstellar travel to those chimpanzees, and should have started to study the cosmic Rubik's Cube.
"Don't panic, bring the Cosmic Cube back to the Marvel Universe, and you should be able to restore the original effect."
Azu then covered his face and said, "But the ghost knows which universe Lin Aida will take me to next time." β
"Do I have to bring the Cosmic Cube every time?"
"Shit!"
Just when the Seven were frustrated by their 'stupidity', far away on the other side of New York, at the head of the CIA, Susan Brown. At Rena's home, the bearded Butcher meets the deputy chief again.
"Dear Susan, it's been so long, why do I see that caped bastard still living so freely?"
"Don't you think you should send him to jail?"
"Or, let the damn news be on the news?"
"Huh?"
When the deputy commissioner turned on the light in the living room and was startled by the bearded man sitting in the dark, Butcher spoke eloquently, and paid attention to Susan. Rena's expression changed.
The deputy director shook his head and said, "I warned you, you can't just come in." β
"Maybe I can."
Butcher gave a trademark ruffian smile: "After I've done so much for you, even making myself a wanted man." β
"I feel like I have the right to sit here and wait for you to come back."
"Come on, tell me."
"Susan. Rena, why doesn't that bastard have anything to do right now. β
"Could it be that you have a leg with him, and he makes you feel good for an hour?"
"If that's the case, I might be able to satisfy you."
The deputy chief pointed at Butcher: "Be careful with your words. β
Then he leaned back on the wine cabinet and sighed.
"Butcher, this must end here."
"It can't go on any longer."
Butcher stood up and said with a smile: "What, are you scared?" β
"Poor Susan, frightened?"
"Let me tell you, Frankie and Breast Milk were caught."
"The two beauties of the sevens almost beat me out of the, so I don't think this can just end here, don't you think?"
Director Susan covered her forehead and said, "You don't understand, you don't understand at all." β
"That guy is out of control, and he doesn't care about anything now, including his reputation."
"For a man who doesn't care about anything, do you think there's anything you can threaten him?"
"What's more, I think he has a point."
A smile tugged at the corner of Butcher's mouth: "Oh, it seems that he said something very moving, otherwise how could he impress our wise deputy director?" β
"Why don't you tell me?"
"Let me hear what the saint has to say."
Susan looked at the bearded man and said, "If Chemical No. 5 is exposed, what happens next?" β
Butcher spread his hands: "I don't know, maybe, those superheroes will be unemployed, but whatever." β
Susan shook her head, licked her lips and said, "That's the problem, Butcher. β
"If superheroes lose their jobs, they become the most troublesome uncertainties."
"They may become supercriminals, and there will be no superheroes then, who will stop them, you?"
Butcher exclaimed, "So that's your reason for compromise?" β
"Just because you're worried about those damn superheroes losing their jobs?"
"It's ridiculous, Susan. Rena! β
"Wouldn't we be able to deal with superhumans without that guy?"
Susan sighed: "Maybe, but it's no good to turn your face with the motherland now." β
"We've got to be patient, we've got to wait."
Butcher yelled, "But I can't wait! β
"I've done so much and I have to stop because you say, 'I'll have to wait'?"
"No!"
"I've been waiting for eight years, and I won't wait any longer."
Susan said in a deep voice, "Butcher, don't mess around. β
"Messing around?"
Butcher laughed: "Is there a mess with your countryman?" β
He opened the floor-to-ceiling window and looked back: "This is the end of our cooperation, and then, I will figure it out myself." β
The deputy director hurriedly said, "What do you want to do?" β
Butcher laughed, did not answer, and left the deputy director's house.

In the morning, after doing some exercise and sweating, Azu's mood adjusted.
While eating breakfast, he opened his 'shop' to see what had been updated.
[Black Panther Suit: This is armor made of vibranium]
[Air Aircraft Carrier: The crystallization of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s science and technology, a combat vehicle for land, sea and air amphibious. γ
[Leviathan: Zetari troop carrier]
[Rune Stone 'Ring of Laggador': After wearing it, you can use the 'Ring of Laggadol', which is a powerful defensive magic. γ
Runestone 'Wind of Watum': After wearing, you can use the corresponding magic. γ
[Rune Stone 'Setolak's Crimson Chain'.]
There are a lot of updated things, but Azu just looks at them and skips them, after all, these things don't have a lot of effect on him.
Suddenly, he saw something interesting.
[Traveler's Ring: A derivative of the Space Gem, which allows the wearer to travel to a multiverse that they have been to, and can randomly or specify a multiverse, with a 30-day cooldown period for the multiverse they have just experienced. γ
[Note: Cosmic Primogem Derivative Artifacts can only be purchased once.] After purchase, the price of the same type of item will increase tenfold. γ
γPrice:Mastery Essence*100γ
"Good stuff!"
Azu's eyes lit up.
"Being able to travel to the multiverse I've been to before, so I can't bring the Cosmic Cube back to the Marvel Universe?"
"Moreover, I'm not afraid that Lin Aida will take me into random places, anyway, as long as I have been there, I can use this ring to go to the multiverse I want to go to!"
"Well, everything is good, it's just expensive."
"100 'Proficiency Essences' is equivalent to spending 2,000 Proficiency."
"But there is a reason why you are expensive."
Azu resisted the urge to buy immediately and looked down again.
[Hypnosis Necklace: A derivative of the Mind Gem, which can be used to hypnotize the target, so that it can complete all the arrangements you give without detecting it. γ
γPrice:Mastery Essence*100γ
[Time Hourglass: A derivative of the Time Stone, using this item can make time flow backwards and return to the time node you specify, but the length of time backwind shall not exceed 24 hours.] γ
γPrice:Mastery Essence*100γ
"It's all good."
"Still."
"If you buy any of them, the price of the other similar items will increase tenfold."
After narrowing his eyes slightly, Azu decided to buy the 'Traveler's Ring' first.
This thing allows him to enter and exit the multiverse he has experienced, and for now, it is more useful than the other two items.
Azu looked at his inventory, and now there were 136 'Proficiency Essences', which was more than enough to buy that ring.
So Azu decisively chose to buy.
Immediately, the corresponding item appeared in the inventory.
Azu took out the ring, and on his hand, there was a ring with a classic shape and a small blue gemstone embedded in it.
The sapphire was like a cosmic Rubik's cube, emitting a soft blue glow.
As Azu stared at it, a corresponding message appeared on the retina.
[Traveler's Ring: To enter the multiverse, to stay in the multiverse, you need to pay a fee. γ
[To enter the multiverse randomly, you need to consume 5 'Bleak Proficiency Essences', and you need to consume 1 'Mastery Essence' to select the multiverse.]
To stay in the multiverse, you need to consume 1 'Bleak Mastery Essence' per day. γ
After reading it, Azu whispered: "It's acceptable." β
Then look at the last update item in the store.
γMjournier (Mjolnir)γ
[Description: An artifact of the Marvel Universe, a war hammer made of Asgardian specialty metal that can attach a lot of magic and energy, Uru metal, the hammer head is forged in a star that is about to decline, and the spell attached to the artifact makes it unusable for all life except for the purchaser.]
Using a warhammer, it can burst with unstoppable impact when attacking, can channel lightning attacks, and can give the user the ability to fly. γ
[Price: Multi Crystal*20]
"It's the same as Wonder Woman's 'Hercules Bracers', it's an artifact-level item."
"When the 'Hercules Bracer' is stimulated by lightning, it can strengthen its combat effectiveness for a short time."
"Thor's Hammer can summon lightning, so wouldn't these two artifacts work together?"
Azu rubbed his cheeks again: "But the two pieces add up to 55 multi-crystals, and now I only have 24, and I can only buy 'Thor's Hammer' at most." β
"But this hammer alone doesn't do much, whether it's the shockwave generated when attacking, summoning lightning or flying, it doesn't work much for me."
"It's still the obvious improvement of the 'Hercules Bracer', wait a little longer, as long as you go through the 'Multiverse' again, you should be able to get the 'Hercules Bracer'."
Azu closes the shop.
He touched the ring on his hand, but he didn't have the idea of entering the 'multiverse' immediately.
After all, he had only experienced it once last night, and he needed time to take a break.
took off his civilian clothes, patted the nano suit bracelet made by Su Rui, and in a blink of an eye, Azu put on a set of vibranium suits.
Hanging the 'Cloak of Justice' behind his back, he came to the command hall.
In the command hall, Queen Maeve, the Elementals, the Electro, and the Ice Princess are already there.
When they saw Azu coming in, they all looked over.
Azu spread his hands and smiled, "Everyone, morning. β
"It's been a while since we've been together, and I feel like once in a while, it's necessary for everyone to get together and exchange information like we are now."
"Ice Princess, how is the matter of Blue Eagle being traced?"
Azu walked up behind the beautiful woman who looked like a supermodel and gently pressed her shoulders.
"You must have good news for me, right?"
The Ice Princess said a little nervously, "I'm sorry, motherland. β
"Since the last time we were run away by the suspect Butcher, the Elementals and I have been tracking him down, but he seems to have some kind of protection or cover, and every time we find a relevant clue, it quickly stops."
"Really?"
Azu stared at her, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
The Ice Princess began to tremble slightly, and although she didn't raise her head, she felt the pressure from Azu's gaze.
She swallowed, her snow-white chest heaving slightly, and a drop of sweat dripped from the tip of her nose and disappeared into the shadow of her neckline.
Just when she was about to lose the pressure, she suddenly heard Azu laugh.
"It's okay, try harder, but don't keep me waiting too long."
At this moment, the pressure melted like ice and snow, and the ice princess almost wanted to cry.
Then he listened to Azu: "Didn't you catch two accomplices, think about whether these two accomplices can be used." β
"For example, let them go, and then spy on them, so that you can find Butcher."
"However, the suspect is very cunning, and you need to think carefully about how to release the accomplice."
"Do it without a trace, and in the end, it seems that the two accomplices escaped with their own strength."
The Ice Princess nodded hurriedly.
Azu gently patted her fragrant shoulder, and walked towards the electric man again.
"Lately, you've been pretty busy."
"The Ice Princess and the Elementals are busy tracking down Blue Eagle, and the work of the Seven falls entirely to you and Maeve."
The electric man hurriedly said: "I have gained a lot from being able to work with Queen Maeve. β
Azu laughed and said, "You can talk well, you should make Maeve very happy, you kid shouldn't have some sparks with her, right?" β
"You're an electric man, you should be pretty good at this."
The electric man was startled, shook his head and said, "No, I haven't been alone with Queen Maeve except for work." β
"If you don't believe me, you can pull up your work records, motherland."
Azu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, I'm kidding you." β
Maeve said with a gloomy face, "This kind of joke is not funny at all. β
Azu looked at her, walked up to her, and whispered in her ear, "Then how about I come down to my office and tell you a joke." β
Maeve knew what he wanted to do, remembered what had happened under the moon that night, and couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat, not knowing whether to say yes or not.
Azu then said to the electric man, "You may be busier next, because next, I need to take Maeve out of the group of seven for a while, and I need her to help me in the Department of Defense office." β
Maeve looked at Azu in some surprise, unable to believe that this man had allowed himself to enter the Ministry of Defense.
Azu continued, "But don't worry, I'll ask Ashley to recruit some more. β
"Xuanse and the Invisible Man have been missing for a while, and since they have no intention of coming back, I don't want to force them."
"In that case, we'll have to recruit a few more people."
"But until the newcomers arrive, the electric man, the seven-man can only rely on you."
The electric man hurriedly stood up: "This is my pleasure, sir." β
Azu nodded and smiled: "Then let's do this for the time being, you can go to work." β
He winked at Maeve, "Go to my office and wait for me, let's talk." β
Maeve smiled and nodded, and as she walked out of the command hall, she was confronted by Starlight.
Starlight looked at Maeve, "Is the motherland there?" β
Maeve looked into the command hall, "He's here." β
Starlight walked in, and saw Azu facing the floor-to-ceiling window, not knowing what she was thinking, she didn't dare to disturb, and stood quietly to the side.
Azu saw Starlight through the floor-to-ceiling window, turned around, and looked at the girl with big wavy blonde hair and a revealing battle suit.
"Looks like you've been quite busy lately."
Now, Starlight is the only superhero in the Tower of Seven who receives commercials, does shows, and gives interviews to the media.
It can be seen that the girl doesn't like this, but in the face of Walter's strong financial resources and influence, it is difficult for her to refuse if she wants to be a superhero.
This is also the status quo of most superheroes in the black-robed universe, who are controlled by the Walter Company, and are more like stars rushing through than superheroes.
Starlight nodded slightly tiredly, laughing at herself.
"Yes, every day I have to go back and forth between various media, shoot commercials, and say those lines designed by the marketing department."
"Running around dressed like a stripper, I felt like I was about to forget that I was a superhero."
Azu smiled: "Think about it from another angle, you are establishing a good brand image for Walter Company and us, so you can also be said to be our superhero." β
Starlight shook his head and said, "Actually, the motherland." β
"I adore you and respect you, really."
A smile tugged at the corner of Azu's mouth: "Wow, that's my honor." β
Starlight smiled, bit her lip and said, "But the night Manhattan fell, I was a little confused, can I ask you a question." β
Azu nodded: "Of course you can, say it, I'm listening, but hurry up, I made an appointment with Maeve." β
Starlight clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and said, "It's about you killing those people in the Empire State Building." β
"I mean, you must have killed those people out of serious consideration."
"I've thought about it, do you support Olga because of those people?"
"After all, Olga's company was already going to cooperate with the Ministry of Defense at that time, and I heard from other people in the company."
"That's why I know that if Olga succeeds in cooperating with the Ministry of Defense, their weapons, their armor will go into the army."
"In that case, our war overseas may cause more casualties."
"And the people who were there at the time were all accomplices, so you killed them in order to prevent this from happening."
"It has to be so, huh?"
Azu looked at Starlight.
"Is this what you think?"
"You think I killed them for that reason?"
Starlight nodded expectantly.
Azu laughed, "Oh my God, Starlight. β
"Your little brain is so good at thinking about other people."
"I'm glad you see me that way."
"Actually, though."
"I already said the reason at the time, didn't I?"
Azu put away his smile and looked at her and said, "Those people will die because they ordered me. β
"And in this world, no one has the right to command me, that's all."
Starlight was devastated.
But Azu was not in the mood and didn't care about her thoughts, and after finishing speaking, he passed by her.
Starlight let out a long sigh after a moment.

In a gloomy house.
"So, your deputy director tricked you?"
"Hahaha, it's so ridiculous, you're like a clown, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just couldn't help it."
Wearing a black and green suit and an asymmetrical hairstyle, the superhero 'Storm' covered his mouth and looked at the sullen Butcher.
The bearded man looked at the woman: "Is it that funny?" β
"You might as well worry more about worrying, the CIA is not playing, what should we do next?"
Storm shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe I should go to Russia, the Motherland will never run there." β
Butcher waved his hand: "Then what are you waiting for, quickly pout your ass and get out." β
Storm laughed, "The way you look now, just like those men who wore cuckolds. β
"Also."
A bolt of lightning slashed at Butcher's side.
Storm squeezed his glasses at him, "You'd better be careful what you say, I want to pull some allies for myself, but I don't mind letting your head bloom." β
"Anyway, in this world, you are not the only one who is unhappy with the motherland."
"Big deal, I'm going to work with the Federation."
Butcher glanced at the small hole beside him that had been split by the electric current, and shook his head.
"The C.I.A. is gone, but we can rely on ourselves."
Storm raised an eyebrow: "What do you think?" β
"We can go and break the news to the media and expose the Waters scandal," Butcher said. β
"But until then, we need that little blue thing, chemical number five."
Storm looked at him and said, "You're going to go back and steal something again?" β
Butcher shook his head: "I don't think I can steal it now, at the moment, where I can still get Chemical No. 5, I think it's only the inside of the Walter Company." β
"For example, their experimental base?"
After speaking, he looked at the woman in front of him.
"No, no, no."
Storm waved his hand and said: "Don't fight that idea, you want me to go back and steal, then wouldn't it be better for me to pack myself and send myself to the bed of the motherland, I have to face him anyway, I think it's better to be in bed than to be bumped by him in the laboratory." β
Butcher looked her from head to toe and said, "Perhaps, the people of the motherland have no interest in dwarfs. β
The electricity crackled in the storm's hand, and he said with a smile, "Say it again? β
Butcher didn't continue, but said.
"If you don't want to, I actually have another candidate."
"Who?" Storm asked.
The bearded man looked at the TV, which was playing an ad endorsed by Starlight.
Storm was stunned: "She? β
"You're crazy, no, how can she help you unless she's crazy?"
Butcher looked at her, "You're right, she's not going to help a wanted criminal." β
"But what if you're also a superhero?"
"You may have something in common."
Storm pointed to himself, then said, "Okay, even if I'm willing to go." β
"But why do you think she'll be willing to help?"
Butcher took out his phone, opened a video, and showed it to Storm.
"This is the image from the Empire State Building at the time of the Manhattan incident."
Storm takes it and sees Starlight fighting for the hostages.
"This girl is probably the only superhero whose conscience hasn't broken yet," Butcher said. β
"If she knew about Chemical No. 5 and what Walter did, she might have helped us."
Storm laughed, "That's it? β
"That's not enough, is it?"
Butcher nodded: "You're right. β
"If we can make her disappointed in the Waters company, in the motherland."
"Then our chance has come."
Storm looked at the bearded man, and sighed, "You're not a good thing, Butcher." β
"Aren't you too?" Butcher laughed.

New York, Queens.
On the top floor of a luxury apartment, in a duplex house, Arnold, the president of Olga's company, wakes up in a luxurious bed in his bedroom.
Having returned from the polar regions, he seemed to be even thinner, and he staggered to a mirror with his face in his hands.
Looking in the mirror, he barely knew the people inside.
The man inside was so thin that he could see his bones, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was terminally ill.
Arnold opened the cabinet next to him, took out a bottle of medicine in it, poured out two and threw it into his mouth.
Then I walked to the closet next to it, pulled it open, and pulled out a suit from inside.
At that moment, his skin squirmed, as if there were thousands of worms hidden under his skin.
Then a piece of skin on the shoulder bulges, stretches, and becomes a tentacle.
An eye rolled out from the tip of the tentacle and looked straight at Arnold.
Arnold was startled by this scene and sat down to the ground screaming, and then he heard a voice say.
"What, you forgot about me?"
On his left abdomen, a mouthpart appeared on his skin, from which Arnold's own voice came out.
Arnold gasped and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot for a moment. β
Then some images flashed through my mind.
At that time, he was on the 'ark' in the polar region when he saw 'Zero' in another room and opened his eyes.
He then lost consciousness, and by the time he came to his senses, he was sitting in a pile of corpses.
His bodyguards, the staff on the 'Ark', including Dr. Audrey at the base.
All the people died.
By playing the base video, he learned that he had killed those people!
Unknown to what method was used, Zero let him into the ship's cockpit, and then Zero possessed him, turning into his clothes and his skin.
Next, under Zero's control, Arnold kills everyone.
Arnold shook his head violently and said, "You promised. β
"You promised to pass on your skills and knowledge to me, and you promised to help me rule this country, and even this planet!"
Arnold's ventral mouthparts said: "I haven't forgotten. β
"You need not doubt that our species has taken over planet after planet."
"This young planet will be no exception, it's just a matter of time."
The dermatology department behind Arnold made many small dots, and then the thin fibers of a hair poked out, and then split into two sides, burrowing into Arnold's temple.
Arnold screamed and fell to the ground, sweating profusely.
At the same time, he saw a lot of images.
He saw in the infinite space where a spaceship stopped at something that resembled a space base station, and then some strange-looking beings entered the space station to explore.
They found some armor, and when they thought it was just plain armor, it silently poked out a lot of fiber threads.
The armor captures the explorers, attaches them to them, and then manipulates the creatures to leave.
The biological armor lives by extracting blood, nutrients, and genetic material from the hosts, and divides and multiplies like cells.
Soon, a planet fell.
Countless creatures controlled the host, driving away from the planet and heading to all corners of the universe.
In this way, they spread in space, eating away at the planets that are alive like cancer cells.
There are more and more of them, and some of them have evolved.
Arnold also saw a flying ship full of biological armor come to Earth and enslave some of the natives of the time, only to have a conflict with others.
In a flashing picture.
Arnold saw a beautiful woman dressed in Egyptian attire and holding a scepter.
She commands a black army against an army of parasites enslaved by biological armor.
After one terrible war after another, the parasitic army was defeated, and the few creatures in armor retreated into the 'Ark' and thought of escaping from Earth.
However, they were attacked by the Black Army, and eventually fell like a fly to the poles, where they were frozen in the ice.
Until the arrival of the scientific research team of Olga's company.
This is the end of the picture.
Arnold sweated profusely and said weakly, "You lie to me, you will suck my blood, and finally make me die as a dry skeleton." β
His ventral mouthparts said without emotion: "If I want to do this, do you think you can leave the polar regions?" β
"Still."
"Although I have carefully controlled the amount of sucking, you are too weak, and even if I don't want to kill you, you won't be able to support it for long."
"Go, find me a new host."
"Then, I'll make good on my promise."
At this moment, a red tentacle rose from Arnold's skin, sharpened its tip, and pierced into Arnold's major artery.
As the color of the tentacle faded, Arnold's face turned bloody, and he jumped up from the ground, looking at himself in surprise.
"I've injected you with some 'goodies' that will keep you energized and able to use it for at least a week."
"For a week, you'd better find me a healthy host."
"Otherwise, you'll die."
Arnold laughed, "In less than a week, I can find you one now." β
He put on his clothes and picked up the phone in the room: "Let Rob come over." β
Putting down the phone, Arnold explained: "Rob is my bodyguard, the best. β
Soon, a tall black man walked in: "Sir, are you looking for me?" β
Arnold nodded, then said, "Now you can go over." β
The black man was puzzled, and saw that Arnold's clothes suddenly scattered into billions of biological fibers, which spread towards him like a kaleidoscope.
"What is this?" The blacks stepped back.
Arnold smiled, "Take it easy, Mr. Rob. β
"I protect, there will be no pain."
The next moment, the bio-fibers had adhered to Luo Yan's black suit and burrowed into the clothes, then replacing the clothing fibers.
In the blink of an eye, Rob's suit had turned into a creature.
In the chest, Zero's eye drilled out, and then the black man was manipulated by it, and the voice said, "This human is not bad, quite strong, enough for me to use it for at least a year." β
"I'll make good on my promise, but until then."
"Tell me who the strongest man on your planet is right now."
"I need the best body so I can use my full power and finish off that woman."
"Kill the Queen of the Night, Lily!"
"You want the strongest guys?"
Arnold smiled, then turned on the TV, and moments later, he found a piece of news.
In the news, the deeds of the people of the motherland are being broadcast.
Arnold pointed to Azu on the TV: "Then you can't miss him." β
"Is he?" Zero asked.
Arnold smiled brightly: "Motherland! β
