S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building, Alexandria's office.

Hitwell stood respectfully at his desk, and Alexander cut a cigar behind his desk.

"How's the Deadpool legion going?" Alexander asked, lighting his cigar.

Professor Connors...... No, he now calls himself Professor Lizard, he is indeed a talent, and once again improved the technology of Deadpool, although the success rate of Deadpool's transformation is still not very high, but the combat effectiveness of individual Deadpool is significantly stronger than before, most of Deadpool's combat effectiveness has reached the level of being able to destroy a heavy tank on a frontal battlefield, and a few Deadpools have evolved the ability to fly, although the flight speed cannot be compared with that of a fighter, but it is better to be more mobile and flexible. ”

"Hmm......" Alexander nodded slightly, "what about the quantity?" How many are there now. ”

Hitwell's face was embarrassed: "After the new technology came out, we have collected a lot of test subjects in Africa and the Middle East, and we are already working hard to create Deadpool, but the conversion rate of Deadpool is still too low, and now the number of Deadpools is only two hundred and seventy-three. ”

"Less than three hundred?" Alexander frowned deeply, "No matter how strong Deadpool is, this is not enough. ”

"I'm sorry, but this is the limit of our speed at this stage," Hitwell said, "and we've spent a lot of money on buying test subjects in Africa and the Middle East, but the percentage of successful conversions in Deadpool is so low that most of them die in the experiments. ”

"Can't you get more test subjects?" Alexander dissatisfied.

Hitwell looked helpless: "In order to purchase these test subjects, we have used nearly one-third of the organization's reserve funds, and if it weren't for the fear of being discovered by Nick Fury, I would have wanted to get some more funds from S.H.I.E.L.D." ”

They have been working in S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years, and naturally there is a way to transfer S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funds to the organization little by little over the years, otherwise they will go directly to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funding system, which has long been discovered by keen people.

Over the years, they have accumulated a huge amount of wealth from sucking blood from S.H.I.E.L.D., and this is the first time that a third of it has been consumed in such a short period of time.

"Now keep a low profile," Alexander exhaled a puff of smoke and his face was cold, "we have acted several times, Fury already suspects that there is a ghost in S.H.I.E.L.D., and he just came to talk to me yesterday and proposed a list of people he suspects to be ghosts, let me pay attention...... Worthy of Nick Fury, his list is full of our people, and there is not a single mistake. ”

"It's normal in terms of numbers," Hitwell laughed, "I'm a little skeptical that there are more of us in S.H.I.E.L.D. or if there's more of Fury's people." ”

"When it comes to grassroots agents, there must be more people in Fury, but it is necessary to talk about high-level ...... Heh......" Alexander sneered, "but this time is different, what we need most now is time, just wait for the formation of the Deadpool army, and we want as much as we want for money." So be honest lately, and don't deepen Fury's suspicions for a little money for the operation. ”

"Yes." Hitwell hurriedly said.

"By the way, does the test subject have to be human?" Alexander said, "Can't you replace it with a monkey, an orangutan, or a lion or a tiger......

"Uh...... Except for monkeys, which may be slightly cheaper, the other animals you mentioned are more expensive than people, and we may have gone bankrupt if we all replaced them with orangutans and tigers and the like. "Hitwell was a little embarrassed.

Alexander:......

Seeing that Alexander's face was not very good, Hitwell hurriedly made up for it: "And we have also tried, although it is also possible to convert animals into Deadpool, but they are difficult to control, and with the same brainwashing cost, the obedience of Deadpool mutated by humans is much higher than that of Deadpool made of animals." ”

"That's right...... Then continue to use humans, obedience is the most important thing," Alexander nodded slightly, "Uncontrollable weapons are just threats." ”

"Speaking of which, according to the information we have learned, maybe because Deadpool's genes are all derived from the person named Lu Mingfei, so he has some kind of control over nature, and the test subject created by Professor Lizard in the sewer was controlled by Lu Mingfei, although our brainwashing control technology far exceeds that of Professor Lizard, but we don't know the limit of Lu Mingfei's control over Deadpool, if his control over Deadpool exceeds our brainwashing technology, then wouldn't we be cheaper for him?" Hitwell said worriedly.

"He's really a big problem, so let's do it, after a while, you find someone to bring a team of Deadpools with miniature bombs to kill him, if Deadpool is not controlled by him, it means that his control is limited, if those Deadpools are controlled, find an opportunity for him to get close to Deadpool and detonate the bomb," Alexander said, "It's best to blow him up, if you can't kill him, hide the rest of Deadpool, and then concentrate experts to upgrade brainwashing techniques." ”

"Yes." Hitwell nodded.

"Okay, go about your business, don't worry about the funds, I'll allow you to mobilize all the reserves, as long as you can make more Deadpools." Alexander Road.

"My lord, I have one more question...... "Hitwell," Hitville said, "Shall we not care about the Winter Soldier?" There are a lot of our guys in the S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital, and it shouldn't be a problem to get him away quietly. ”

"His robotic arm uses the technology of the former Soviet Union, and now it can't be repaired, and we have two hundred and seventy-three Deadpools, what else do you want this piece of waste for?" Alexander dismissed, "If it weren't for the fear that arranging for someone to kill him would arouse further suspicion from Fury, he would have died in the hospital room without a trace." ”

"I see." Hitwell nodded.

……

Kama Taj.

Lu Mingfei and Gu Yi sat opposite each other on two futons, both with their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.

But if you look at it from a higher level, you can see that their respective spirits are talking, and much faster than the average human being.

Although spirits are not exempt from any laws, they are indeed freer than physical bodies, for example, in terms of communication, the speed of communication between spirits can be much faster than that of physical bodies - to use an analogy, human thinking is always faster than speaking, because thinking is only a matter of thought, but speaking needs to vibrate the vocal cords after the thought, and wait for the air to transmit the sound to the other person's ears.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei will directly use the spirit body to learn magic knowledge from Gu Yi, especially in the state of casting the mirror pupil, in five minutes, he can thoroughly understand the knowledge equivalent to a magic book - or the kind of brick-like tome magic book.

Of course, this method is incomparably fast, but the disadvantage is that it is too tiring, especially since the ancient one's knowledge reserve is so rich that Lu Mingfei even suspects that she has a library in her head.

So during the period of studying with Gu Yi, every day when Lu Mingfei walked out of the cultivation meditation room, he looked like his brain had been hollowed out, his steps staggered, he stumbled to his bedroom, and fell asleep.

Occasionally, Lu Mingfei will miss the way he was pulled by Tony to study - in contrast, he knows how kind Tony was at that time!

His time in Kama Taj can be described as "muddy", every day after waking up to eat something, and then go into the ashram to learn magic from the ancient one, except for the time to eat, he studied until late at night, and only after learning that he could no longer support himself before he could go back to sleep.

Fortunately, he is a half-breed, and if he were an ordinary person, he would have to lie on the ground for three days, twitching and foaming.

However, the painful learning process was worth it, his magical knowledge reserve was increasing at an unbelievable rate, according to the ancient one, but after only half a month of study, his magical knowledge reserve had already caught up with the king - and the king was the person with the highest magical attainment in the entire Kama Taj except for the ancient one.

I don't know how long it took, the spirit body of the ancient one stopped instilling Lu Mingfei and returned to his body.

Lu Mingfei's spirit body was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his body.

"Huh? Ancient One Mage, why did you stop suddenly? It's only been half a day of class today. Lu Ming was puzzled.

Accustomed to learning a dark life every day, he suddenly relaxed for a while, Lu Mingfei was actually a little unaccustomed.

Gu Yi shook his head slightly: "As far as the Supreme Mage is concerned, your understanding of magic knowledge is actually enough, when I first became the Supreme Mage, I was not as good as you are now." ”

"When you became a mage?" Lu Mingfei said, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are not very old, and when you became a Supreme Mage, it was thirty or forty years ago at most." ”

"Almost," Koichi smiled faintly, "five hundred and thirty-four years ago, to be exact. ”

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei blinked, "So the mage still has the effect of prolonging life?" ”

But this lifespan is no longer a matter of prolonging life, how can anyone prolong life to more than 500 years old?

"No, no, the mage's power is borrowed from a powerful being, so it can't exceed the limits of his own race in terms of lifespan." Gu Yi shook his head.

Lu Mingfei, who was dazed, suddenly looked abrupt: "So you are actually not human?" ”

Ancient One: ......

"Oh no, no, no, I mean, you're not human?" Realizing that there was ambiguity in his words, Lu Mingfei hurriedly said.

"I'm human," Gu Yi said indifferently, "and the reason why I've lived so long is because ...... I stole the power to prolong my life from Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Dimension. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the power of stealing, Ancient One Mage, you are so powerful, you can actually ...... from Dormammu" Lu Mingfei suddenly paused in the middle of speaking, "Wait a minute! Dormammu! The Dark Dimension King Dormammu, who has been eyeing Earth and has been the main enemy of Kama Taj for many years, has forbidden any mages from coming into contact with him? ”

Ancient little head.

"So you're taking the lead in breaking taboos?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

Lu Mingfei: ......

It's broken, I'm not going to be killed. No, I'm the Supreme Mage chosen by the Ancient One, so she shouldn't kill me, right?

Facing Gu Yi's indifferent gaze, Lu Mingfei quietly touched his wildly beating chest.

……

In the vast and deep space of the universe, a desolate dark orange planet orbits quietly.

In the vicinity of the planet, Zetari's army was lined up in space, and countless frigates were in order, faintly enclosing a mothership in the center that looked like a miniature city.

This is just a temporary stronghold for the Zetari Legion, and they stay here, transforming the planet below into a temporary logistics base, originally waiting for the portal to open and be able to attack it from space as soon as possible.

Mothership.

Loki stood in front of the lanky figure with a sneer on his face.

"Loki, not only did you fail to complete the mission given to you by the great Thanos, but you also left the scepter that he personally gave you on Earth," the lanky figure placed his hands in front of him, his fingers inserted, suspended in mid-air, looking down on Loki condescendingly, "I should have executed you on the spot when you returned, but for the sake of you bringing us a valuable ally, I left your life behind, because you said that ally could help us open a portal to Earth." But why don't I seem to see the door? ”

"This ...... You have to give them a little time, it is definitely not a matter of a day or two to open such a large portal. Loki rubbed his hands, "I don't think the great Thanos lacks a little tolerance and patience, so you must be willing to be tolerant of your allies, right, Mr. Ebonthroat?" ”

"A little time?" Ebony Throat's tone rose slightly, "Do you want to calculate for yourself, how much time I've given you?" The great Thanos is not lacking in patience, but that does not mean that he will tolerate you all the time. ”

Rocky saw sweat in the forehead.

After teaming up with Casillas, who called himself "Dormammu's Emissary", he became the intermediary between Casillas and Ebonthroat.

Now he is considered to have fallen into blood mold, and he can't afford to offend any of the people on both sides, but they don't want to tear each other's faces yet, so any pressure will be thrown on him.

Having been the son of Odin in Asgard for thousands of years, Loki had never experienced this kind of splinting.

But he had to endure it again - behind Ebony Throat was Thanos, a cosmic overlord whose power might not be inferior to that of God Odin, and Domammu behind Casillas was even a dimensional master.

Besides, even if you don't mention the existence behind Ebony Throat and Casillas, Loki can't beat these two people alone.

"I'll talk to Casillas......" Loki wiped his cold sweat, looking scared and respectful on the outside, eager to stick the dagger into Ebony Throat's head.

"Say what?" The sparkling portal opened, and a man with a dark crack in his eye socket walked out.

"Ah, here you are, my dear ally." Ebony Throat turned to Casillas with a polite look.

Loki felt his blood pressure soar - every time Ebony Throat was dissatisfied with Casillas' progress, he asked him to come forward and urge him, and Ebony Throat himself was always a good face.

"Let your men prepare," Casillas said, "and our master should soon open the portal." ”

"Oh? Is it finally time? "Ebony Throat is calm on the surface, and there is a slight joy in the heart.

He had been waiting for a long time, and his patience was running out, but after he told Thanos that "Dormammu's messenger" would come to cooperate, Thanos said that he would be polite to these people, so no matter how dissatisfied Ebony Throat was, he could only endure it.

"The time is coming," Casillas nodded, "keep your men on guard from now on, the portal could open at any time." ”

"Great Emissary, what moment are we waiting for?" Loki leaned over from the side.

"It's you," Casillas said surprisingly well towards Loki, "how did you think about my proposal earlier?" Become a messenger of Dormammu, and you will truly embrace eternity and power. ”

"Hahaha......" Loki sneered, "I also yearn for Lord Dormammu's gifts, but I'm worried that my strength is too poor, serving Lord Dormammu will only hold you back, and when I become stronger, I will definitely consider it seriously." ”

Add a hairy Dormammu, and become your inhuman and ghostly appearance? Loki complained in his heart. And what a messenger, to put it nicely, is just a slave of Dormammu.

He was the future king of Asgard, and he would never do such a humiliating thing as being a slave in a hurry!

"You don't know what you're missing," Casillas could naturally see that Loki was refusing, shaking his head slightly, not bothering to force, "As for the timing of the trip to Earth...... It doesn't hurt to tell you, we're waiting for Gu Yi to die. ”

"Who is the Ancient One?" Loki was puzzled.

"It's the woman who locked you up." Casillas said lightly.

"She's going to die?!" Loki was overjoyed.

"Well, the master says she won't last long," Casillas said, "and as soon as she's dead, the master will open the portal to Earth." ”

Speaking of this, Casillas looked at Ebony Throat: "You can take whatever you want on the earth, the master of the Cosmic Cube or the Scepter is not interested, the master wants the earth itself, after entering the earth, you must destroy the three major temples of the mage as soon as possible." ”

"Of course, that's what we've said a long time ago." Ebony Throat smiled and nodded.

As for what Zetari's army will do when it enters Earth, it is not up to Casillas to decide.

Ebony Throat and Casillas were having a good conversation, completely unaware that Loki, who was being ignored by them, was bowing his head and his eyes rolling.
