Chapter 141 A sudden sound
However, Killian's expectant gaze was met with Whitehall's cold denial. "This is not a good idea."
"Why? Could it be that the Extremis Warriors only have a 50% chance of success, which makes Hydra retreat?" Killian asked.
"It's not that we are afraid of sacrifice, but that sacrifice is meaningless." Whitehall said slowly, "Sir, do you know that as early as seventy years ago, the Allies and the Nazis had already come up with this plan, but Dr. Erskine took refuge in America and recreated Captain America, so we had to get rid of him." The dust of history was gently brushed away, revealing the secrets of the past.
"The brilliant plans of the past are now outdated. The world is like a chess game, with ever-changing changes. The world is even more treacherous. Hydra needs more powerful power to rule the world." After saying that, Whitehall pushed open the door of the secret room and stepped into it. After several twists and turns, he finally came to a huge machine.
Inside the machine, a strange tree about the height of a man, surrounded by lava and flames, was quietly growing. But the most eye-catching thing was not the tree itself, but the blazing ball of light hanging from its top, about ten feet in circumference, containing endless energy. If it weren't for the strong field suppression, this place would have been turned into scorched earth long ago.
"My former master, the great Hydra leader Red Skull, was deeply fascinated by myths. He believed that ancient myths existed, so he found the secret treasure hidden by Odin - the Cosmic Cube. Now Thor is descending from the sky with his hammer, and the myths are true." Whitehall smiled at Killian and continued, "So I also believe in myths. Have you heard about God and the Garden of Eden?"
"According to legend, there were two trees in the Garden of Eden, one called the fruit of wisdom and the other called the fruit of life. Our ancestors ate the fruit of wisdom and stole the secrets of heaven. However, compared with the gods, human power is weak, probably because humans are incomplete. So the Hydra wants to make up for the shortcomings of humans, upgrade the human race, and make it stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods." Whitehall finished speaking, his eyes deep.
"This is really crazy!" Whitehall's words shocked Killian, like a countryman entering a prosperous city for the first time. He was filled with awe: "Your Excellency is indeed an extraordinary person. Your plans are far beyond ours."
Killian at that time boasted of his great ambitions, but now he seems to be just a child playing in the mud. The people with special abilities in the academy mocked his short-sightedness, which was not without reason.
Just as Killian was intoxicated by the spectacle, the mysterious object that sucked the artificial sunlight suddenly moved strangely, energy leaked out, and alarms sounded one after another.
"Sir, sample No. 084 is out of control. Please instruct us whether to terminate the experiment." The experimenter asked hurriedly, looking anxious.
"Not necessary this time." Whitehall waved his sleeves, calm and composed.
"But if we let it get out of control, the consequences will be disastrous..." The experimenter hesitated as Whitehall turned his gaze to Killian.
"I need a drop of your blood." Killian was startled when he heard this, and then he cut his arm to obey the order. The blood flowed like lava, hot and mysterious. Killian collected it in a special container and placed it at the root of a strange tree. The tree seemed to be psychic, and its roots stretched out, greedily eating the blood. The blood melted into the wood, and the light became brighter and brighter.
"Boom!" Energy gushed out, but fortunately the damage was limited.
When the fluctuations subsided, the two were shocked to find that Sample 084 had grown to a height of about three meters, with its branches and leaves spreading and touching the artificial sun. Although it destroyed the magnetic field, it imprisoned the sun with its own power, like a Dyson sphere, swallowing up the light.
"Start up the rest of the devices and maximize their power," Whitehall ordered decisively.
Following orders, the machinery roared, the hatch opened, and the remaining solar balls lit up one by one. Attracted by the radiation, the sample branches surrounded them.
"Clear the scene and open the cabin."
"Sir, this may be..."
"Don't say too much, I'll do it myself." Whitehall pushed the operator away and operated it himself.
The shielding was removed, the hatch opened, and everyone finally got a glimpse of the full picture. A strange tree over ten feet long was suspended in the air, seemingly free from gravity, and seemingly planted in the void. Nine suns surrounded the tree, each showing its own style.
"How beautiful!" Killian was deeply attracted by this strange tree.
"This is only the initial stage. If we want to achieve greater success, we still need your help." Whitehall looked at Killian earnestly with a sincere tone.
Suddenly, a slight sound was heard, and the light of a sun gradually dimmed, and finally turned into a rain of fire, which was swallowed by the sample, and its size increased by another point...
"In this case, there is no time to lose. Our first task is to satisfy this child's huge appetite. In an instant, it has consumed electricity, which is equivalent to the annual demand of a city of one million people." White Hall sighed lightly, but his eyes were very determined. The Hydra trip must be carried out. This matter is important, and perhaps the ideal of the final outcome will be achieved in his hands. Even if he is not capable, he should join hands with other leaders to gather the resources of Hydra, especially those lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, Whitehall had never expected that one of his most trusted leaders had already defected, and not only was he plotting against Hydra, he was also forming an alliance with Academy Capital.
…………
At the same time, in a conference room of the Academy Capital School of Supernatural Powers, Cyclops, Storm, Mayor Ross, Beast, Emma and others gathered together. As school directors, they were discussing the important events at hand.
"This is roughly the situation. In short, SHIELD's sincerity this time is quite impressive." Lu Yifang, who was sitting at the same table, told everyone in detail about the affairs of SHIELD and Hydra.
"I didn't expect that Mrs. Carter would not only awaken her special powers, but also strengthen her longevity ability." Mayor Ross said with emotion. As a military veteran, he naturally had great respect for the female hero of World War II. When she first joined the army, Carter had already become a prominent figure in the American military.
"This is a good thing. Carter's return will further promote our friendship with SHIELD and accelerate his transformation into a superpower. In the near future, our positions will be more aligned." Lu Yifang said with a smile. He was confident about this matter, because those in high positions are easily influenced by their environment. Even SHIELD agents who have undergone rigorous training are inevitably influenced by their surroundings. Although superpowers may not all tend to be in the Academy City, as fellow travelers, they naturally have no ill feelings.
I remember the words of the North Star, there was a prosecutor who specialized in crimes committed by people with special abilities and imprisoned the offenders. One day, his children suddenly awakened their special abilities. In order to protect his children, the prosecutor became a staunch supporter of the person with special abilities, not afraid of life and death, and his loyalty was commendable. This was normal human nature.
"How does SHIELD want us to cooperate?" Cyclops, as the dean, finally asked.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. would like us to send a top-notch supernatural being to temporarily stay at its headquarters to prevent any unexpected events. Among them must be a psychic supernatural being so that they can influence the top brass of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"In that case, I will select people from the academy, and Mr. Ross will transfer personnel from the law enforcement team. The two will be combined into one, and will move in under the name of exchange. This team will be led by Emma." Cyclops looked at the White Queen, who nodded happily.
"Everyone agrees, and the meeting is now over."
"Yifang, where are you going?" After the meeting, Storm suddenly called Lu Yifang.
"What's the matter?" Lu Yifang looked back, confused.
"Someone made an excuse that after the meeting, we will go to the psychological counseling room." Storm said with a strange look on her face.
"Psychological consultation room? Professor?" I don't know why the professor summoned me, but it would be a good idea to meet him at the right time. Since I have retired behind the scenes with Magneto, it's not a bad idea for me to be his advisor occasionally.
However, when he stepped into the psychological counseling room, Lu Yifang felt something strange, because the clearest sound coming from the room was the voice of a loli.
"Do we really need to do this question?" An old voice with a hint of dissatisfaction sounded, and it seemed to be Magneto.
