Chapter 60: Nightmares and New Discoveries
After sending off Nick Fury, Laura drove back to her villa, boarded the long-awaited Kun fighter, activated the stealth function, and flew towards the cold Siberia.
This fighter plane has been modified by her and named it "Pelican".
The Ark reactor is used for energy, the fuselage has been added with optical stealth, the cockpit has been upgraded with two seats and Rachel's independent control module, the rear cabin has been changed to a medical pod and a small laboratory, and the weapons have been added to the traditional kinetic ammunition with high-energy pulse weapons.
Laura put the driver's seat flat and began to take a nap, the upgraded power system and mechanical structure made the Pelican's flight speed greatly increased, but the flight process was extremely smooth and quiet.
Unlike the steadied Pelican, Laura's dreams at this time were extremely chaotic.
In her dream, she retrieved the Divine Source from the ruins of Kit City, and was about to smash it when she found that it had been instantly absorbed by her body.
Confused, Laura found a quaint dagger and a silver box appear in her left and right hands.
She was still wondering why these two artifacts appeared in her hands, but she heard Tony's exhausted voice with a hint of anger and incomprehension:
"Laura! Why are you doing this? Why! ”
She looked up, and the sight before her was like hell.
Not far away, New York City has been reduced to rubble by natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, and the bones under his feet are piled up into a small mountain.
Team America, Thor, Black Widow, Little Spider, Jean, Wolverine... Finally, her gaze stopped on the person closest to her.
Laura, whose mind was blank, quickly picked up Katie and shouted anxiously:
"Rachel! Take a quick scan of Katie's body! Then get ready for the medical pod! ”
Suddenly, a punch flashed from the side and slammed into her face.
"What kind of fake mercy are you pretending! Rachel and Jarvis have been killed by you! These people under your feet, including the phantom cat in your arms, were killed by your own hands! ”
Tony shouted with blood all over his face, and the armor on his body was almost destroyed, but he still smashed it hard and punched, but Laura felt nothing.
"Click"
Tony threw another right hook that cracked his finger bones, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground due to the exertion.
"Laura ... Why? Why! Why... ”
Tony asks three whys in a row, then loses his breath.
Seeing that his eyes gradually lost their luster and his pupils began to dilate, Laura's brain became even more chaotic.
Looking at the apocalyptic scene around her and the familiar faces around her, she hugged Katie's body in her arms, which was gradually cold, and the whole person looked distracted.
"Young God Slayer, you've gone too far, this is not what the way to maintain the balance of the universe should be."
Laura's vacant eyes finally got focus, and she turned her head to look behind her.
The speaker held a strange double-headed machete in his hand, his whole body was covered in golden armor, and his exposed skin was purple.
"Thanos? It's you! You did all this?! ”
Laura let go of Katie and floated into the air to confront Thanos, the heat of her body distorting the space around her in anger.
Thanos raised the broadsword in his hand in a defensive posture, and said in a calm tone:
"No, it's you --- Laura Crawford who caused all this, and you've destroyed countless planets, and now you're not sparing even your home planet.
Your actions have seriously upset the balance of the universe, and I am here to put an end to you. ”
Looking at Thanos talking eloquently in front of her, Laura felt extremely ridiculous in her heart.
Ignoring Thanos and the army behind him, she looked up at the eclipse in the sky for a long time, as if recalling some scene from the depths of her memory, and then raised the dagger in her hand and stabbed it decisively into her chest.
It was a heart-rending pain she had never experienced.
At this time, on the quiet pelican, Laura opened her eyes suddenly, and then clutched her chest and gasped.
"Laura, your heart is beating so fast! The body temperature is also rising dramatically! Hurry up and calm down! Need a sedative right away? ”
She felt her throat burn, and she couldn't make a sound when she opened her mouth, so she could only nod her head.
Soon, a drone flew out of the medical pod and came to Laura's side to inject her with a dose of medicine.
Half a minute later, the pain in her chest finally subsided, and she quickly glanced at the familiar and unfamiliar surroundings around her, and spoke:
"Rachel, what time is it?"
"On November 24, 2010, at 13:05, the Pelican had flown for an hour and a half, and there were still 22 minutes to reach the destination of this trip."
Laura's mind is still a little confused now, and after drinking a large sip of glucose water, she continues to ask:
"And how long have I been asleep?"
"Seventy-two minutes and three seconds, the data shows that your deep sleep time is only three minutes, which is a poor quality sleep."
"Hmph... It was a terrible night's sleep. ”
Laura put down the cup in her hand and stood up with palpitations, she was afraid that she would have a psychological shadow on sleep in a short time.
Not daring to recall the situation in the dream just now, she walked to the laboratory in the rear cabin, called up various materials and began to read.
Originally, she wanted to get herself out of the negative state caused by the nightmare as soon as possible, but after flipping through the existing information, she found some new clues.
According to a parchment of unknown origin, the immortal prophet Jacob was not the first to come into contact with the Divine Source.
The first person to come into contact with this item was a tribal hunter who tracked a black bear to a cave and found the spar that shimmered blue in the dark, and wanted to bring it back to the tribe as a trophy.
When his hand touched the Divine Source, his body also glowed with blue light, which frightened him to let go and flee towards the entrance of the cave.
On the way, he was ambushed by a black bear, and the hunter was seriously injured, and just when he thought he was going to die in the bear's mouth, the injuries on his body miraculously disappeared and even increased.
So excited, he relied on the "immortal" body to kill the black bear, and then took it away with the divine source.
The hunter was seen as a hero upon his return to the tribe, and after a year of fighting, he became the chief of the tribe because he was considered a god because of his "immortal body".
Later, not satisfied, he gave his army the "power of immortality", and fought everywhere and maintained a complete victory.
This is the end of the parchment account, which seems to be a perfect story.
However, Rachel consulted historical sources around the world, and the tribe known as "Kars" mysteriously disappeared in many accounts.
Laura put down the information in her hand, looked at the Divine Source model in the virtual light curtain, and muttered:
"Divine Sources? According to the available information, this thing has nothing to do with the word 'sacred'. ”
