The hardness and toughness of the skin and muscles are almost unimaginable. Needles and knives can't even pierce the epidermis? There is some unknown biological force field around that can deflect all forms of physical attacks. The speed of movement and swinging fists can easily reach more than Mach 10.
As for the destructive power, just one hit broke the machine we used for testing?
Damn, are you sure there isn't any exaggeration in this report?
I feel like I'm describing Superman in the comics."
Nick Fury sat at his desk, staring at several documents sent by his trusted subordinates, his face full of disbelief.
Although he had seen aliens and some individuals with supernatural powers a long time ago, the power of the Divine Monk was far beyond his expectations.
Because according to the judgment given in the report, apart from the most powerful nuclear weapons at present and the trump cards in its hands, there is basically nothing on the entire earth that can pose a threat or harm to it.
Such a terrifying and unrestricted power is obviously unacceptable to human society as a whole.
Especially those high-ranking officials will definitely try every possible means to bring it under their control.
Be it moral kidnapping or brainwashing including ideology.
In fact, Captain America is a typical example of the latter.
Although propaganda agencies packaged him as a noble patriot and a hero who fought against the evil Nazis, the government actually used him as a propaganda tool to raise war funds at the beginning.
And his later fame and status as a benchmark and spiritual belief was largely due to his "death".
If he were still alive, he would not become a hero but might become a nuisance in the eyes of the top government officials.
As the famous writer Mark Twain satirized in his book "Running for Governor."
Whether a person's reputation is good or bad does not depend on what he has done, but on what the country's highest ruling class needs.
If they want, even a nearly perfect saint will be slandered as an unforgivable evil being, while those scumbags will be described as great heroes shining with the brilliance of humanity.
This is the charm of journalism and communication, but it is also a form of manipulation and deception of the public psychology.
Facing his boss's doubts, Coulson said half-jokingly, "There is nothing wrong with the report, Director. In addition, I think Mr. Balthazar is obviously not Superman. At least his eyes cannot emit heat vision that can melt steel, and he probably can't fly."
"Damn it! Now is not the time to show off your sense of humor."
Nick Fury rolled his eyes in annoyance, and then continued to ask: "How credible is this part about his origins?"
"All I can say is that he passed our state-of-the-art lie detector test with flying colors."
Coulson smiled bitterly and gave an answer that could almost be considered affirmative.
Because so far, even the most senior agents who are best at disguise and lying cannot fool the polygraph 100%.
"So the continent of Faerun, the planet Toril, magic, and gods marked above are all real?"
Nick Fury raised his eyebrows in shock.
Coulson nodded without hesitation: "I personally think it is highly credible.
Because Mr. Balthazar showed us his spell-like abilities, including rapid healing of wounds, regeneration of severed limbs and internal organs, instant teleportation, cures for terminal illnesses that modern medicine is simply powerless to treat, resurrection of deceased animals and even humans, and other magic known as divine arts.
According to him, all of this stems from his profession as a warrior monk and his own bloodline as the Son of God.
It's a pity that we can't draw blood, otherwise we should be able to analyze it from a genetic perspective."
After hearing these words, Nick Fury's already dark face became even darker.
Especially the two items of curing terminal illnesses and resurrecting the dead, even if you use your butt to think about it, you know that it will definitely cause big trouble.
After all, who among the rich and powerful does not want to live longer so that they can continue to enjoy the "happiness" brought by wealth and power?
They are even willing to make a deal with the devil for this.
This can be seen from the generous investments made by billionaires to relevant research institutions every year.
Even Nick Fury could imagine how much of a disturbance this Mr. Balthazar from another world could cause on Earth.
Thinking of this, he involuntarily raised his hand and scratched the hairless black bald head, frowning and asking, "Where is the psychologist's assessment? How dangerous is this person?"
Coulson quickly replied: "The results of the psychological evaluation are still under discussion, but most experts believe that the target is not very dangerous as long as he is not attacked.
The reason why he mercilessly killed those gang members when he showed up was mainly because of the differences in the laws and codes of conduct between the two worlds.
In the continent of Faerun where Mr. Balthazar is located, no matter in which country or city, as long as you are attacked, you can carry out unlimited self-defense.
The most important thing is that his emotions were very stable from beginning to end, and even after causing such a huge riot, there was not the slightest fluctuation.
Psychological experts believe that this is an ultra-stable personality trait, and the possibility of impulsive killing or crime is negligible.
In short, Director, you should arrange a formal meeting as soon as possible.
Because we have too much information to obtain, such as how powerful God is, and whether his coming to Earth was an accident or he was carrying out a mission.
You have to know that this is a typical third-kind contact, and we must understand the other party as much as possible in order to make the right judgment. "
"In that case, let's arrange it immediately. Send a sumptuous meal to our guest first, and I will meet him in two hours."
Nick Fury made quick arrangements, rubbing his swollen head.
Although as a black man, his skin color successfully concealed the dark circles under his eyes caused by sleeping less than four hours a day for a long period of time, the fatigue could not be concealed.
Ever since the Trans-Space Beacon sent a large amount of knowledge and information, all kinds of supernatural phenomena and strange black technologies on Earth have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
As the only agency authorized by the Security Council to deal with such incidents, the Bureau is extremely busy.
Forget paid leave, many field agents even have to sleep on planes or in cars.
What’s even more frightening is that many of those guys who suddenly gain power and knowledge are criminals, sociopaths, war victims, regional separatist organizations, religious extremists, etc., who don’t care about the consequences when they go crazy.
At least three dozen similar incidents have broken out in major cities around the world alone.
In addition, several military bases in the Middle East were attacked, with casualties in the three, four, or even five digits, and even the loss of half of an aircraft carrier fleet, so that the military and Congress began to back down and wanted to withdraw troops from those occupied areas.
Even Iron Man Tony Stark almost died there once.
It can even be said that the world has never been as turbulent as it is now.
After all, in the past, as long as a few nuclear powers could sit together and discuss, they could basically maintain the order established after World War II, and even if there was a war in a local area, it would not expand.
But now, even the most powerful country on earth is facing unprecedented challenges, not to mention the rest of the small countries.
It is not surprising if any country is suddenly overthrown or replaced by a person with super powers or an organization that masters black technology.
Because this kind of thing has already happened twice in Africa and South America.
Fortunately, SHIELD had a fairly solid financial foundation, and they finally managed to settle the matter after suffering some casualties.
Otherwise, God knows what will happen.
There is no doubt that this is the chain reaction caused by the massive transmission of knowledge and information by the super-time and space beacon tower, and it can also be regarded as a butterfly effect.
And it is not limited to the Earth. The impact extends to the entire universe, and even fierce interstellar wars have broken out in some places.
It’s just that this side of the Earth is relatively backward and remote, so we don’t know what’s happening outside.
Of course, none of this concerned Balthazar.
At this moment, he was sitting in a separate windowless room, enjoying a seafood feast provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., observing everything around him with an expressionless face, obviously enjoying the feeling of being in a different world.
This is the first time Balthazar has been summoned since being made into a follower card.
The most important thing is that Zuo Si fulfilled his original promise, which was to experience the customs and cultures of different worlds.
As a person who was born in Faerun and has never left the land of swords and magic in his entire life, he is obviously full of curiosity about the modern metropolises and various technological products on Earth.
It's just that I'm still on a diary delivery mission, so I can't go out and play as I wish.
But it doesn't matter! As the son of Baal and a powerful monk, Balthazar has eternal life, and his long-term forbearance has given him extraordinary patience, so the word "anxious" never appears in his dictionary.
As he ate slowly, a table full of sumptuous dishes, more than four times the normal amount of food, was quickly finished.
When he put down his knife and fork and started to wipe his mouth with his napkin, a female agent who had been waiting for a long time immediately waved to the people next to him to clean up the table, and then took the initiative to step forward and said, "Sir, the director wants to have a face-to-face communication with you immediately. What do you think?"
"No problem, let him come."
Balthazar agreed straightforwardly.
Because from the time he came to this day, all his actions have been carried out according to the planned plan.
As the most important and powerful agency on Earth in the Marvel Universe, S.H.I.E.L.D., or SHIELD, is basically an entity that cannot be avoided and must be dealt with.
Moreover, this organization is basically composed of a group of people who are used to being domineering. If you want them to conduct transactions and conversations on an equal footing, you must first demonstrate enough power to make them feel awe and fear.
The diary was well aware of this, so from the beginning it had no intention of doing anything sneaky, but instead showed its strength openly.
He wanted to make S.H.I.E.L.D. and even the Security Council understand that those boring political and diplomatic tactics and conspiracies were nothing compared to the overwhelming power he controlled.
In this way, although the latter will inevitably become alert and defensive, they will never dare to do anything tricky in private.
It's like when the Earth was dealing with the Asgard realm headed by Odin, it didn't dare to have any other thoughts from beginning to end.
Therefore, the role that Balthazar is currently playing should actually be considered as a diplomatic envoy.
About three or five minutes later, accompanied by the crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground, Nick Fury pushed open the door and walked in from outside with Coulson, deliberately frowning and looking very serious.
You don't need to ask to know that this has always been his habit, that is, he always wants to intimidate the other party with his strong aura when they meet for the first time, and then firmly grasp the initiative in the subsequent conversation.
This is a very simple psychological battle.
Unfortunately, it was of no use to Balthazar who possessed divine power. He even found such pretentious behavior funny.
"Hello, Mr. Balthazar from another world, my name is Nick Fury, and I'm glad you can cooperate with our work.
You know, there aren't many people these days who have super powers like you but are willing to sit down and talk.
There are many guys who suddenly gain power whose ambitions quickly expand. They always feel they can do anything, and then they cause terrible tragedies.
We have to take some extraordinary measures to do this.”
Nick Fury deliberately pretends to be mysterious, while also hinting that he has some means to deal with people with super powers.
"Did your world suddenly start to see a large number of superpowers and all kinds of inexplicable black technologies in the last one or two months?"
With just one sentence, Balthazar instantly destroyed the image that the director had worked so hard to maintain. He suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "How did you know?!"
“Because all this knowledge and abilities are transmitted through the master’s trans-dimensional beacon tower.
To be precise, it is broadcast to billions of spaces and times throughout the multiverse.
Of course, this incident itself was the first surprise.
But anyone who happens to receive it will have extra information in their mind out of thin air.
When they put this information, whether it is magic or technology, into practice, many people with super powers and black technologies will naturally be born.
I am here just to confirm the situation.”
Balthazar very directly and decisively broke the opponent's last psychological defense.
After all, SHIELD has a complete professional team, and they have long begun to suspect that the sudden appearance of mysterious information is related to the subsequent concentrated outbreak of supernatural phenomena and black technology.
But the problem is that they have never found definitive evidence that the two are linked.
However, Nick Fury was suspicious by nature and did not immediately believe this statement. Instead, he cautiously asked, "What is the Trans-Dimensional Beacon? What does the multiverse refer to? And who is the master you mentioned?"
Balthazar explained calmly: "The super-time and space beacon tower is a device. You can think of it as a broadcasting tower that can connect countless time and space across the dark void.
The multiverse refers to those spaces separated by the dark void. Some are as huge as your universe, while others are relatively small, with only a few star systems.
No matter how powerful an ordinary person becomes, even if he becomes the supreme true god with the power of creation and destruction, he cannot leave the place where he was born.
But my master is different. He is a planeswalker who masters the power called the Spark and can travel freely in this vast multiverse without restrictions.
As for what you want to know about the power and influence that the master holds...
All I can tell you is that he could destroy a planet like Earth thousands of times in a second.
He doesn’t even have to do it himself, I can do it.”
moment!
Beads of sweat appeared on Nick Fury's bald head.
Not only him, but also Coulson and the others who were listening to this showed expressions of shock or fear.
Because compared to the Director of SHIELD's previous bland hint, this is a naked and undisguised threat.
After all, the most powerful weapon currently possessed by human civilization on Earth, the hydrogen bomb, can only grow a few mushrooms equivalent to acne on the surface of the planet.
Not to mention destroying the planet, even whether it can destroy humanity itself is a big question mark.
So when they learn that the other party has the ability to easily destroy a planet, they will naturally feel a strong sense of fear, even if the other party does not show any malice.
The serious imbalance in strength and status will make the weaker party feel very insecure, as if they were fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at will.
"Can you prove the truth of what you said?"
Nick Fury took a deep breath and asked calmly.
He originally thought that he would only be facing an individual with powerful supernatural powers this time, but who could have imagined that he would be a messenger sent by a super power. He suddenly felt a lot of pressure, even far beyond the scope of his authority.
“It’s very simple.
I'll give you twelve hours.
You can report this matter to your superiors and then form a delegation.
I will have someone take you to see the place where the Master rules.
At that time, you can observe with your own eyes, or even take pictures with a camera or use various instruments to detect.
We’ll talk about the next part after the tour is over.”
Balthazar calmly threw out the bait he had prepared in advance.
Delegation? Visit?
Upon hearing this proposal, Nick Fury immediately exchanged glances with Coulson beside him.
Obviously, they have begun to believe that Balthazar is not lying or bluffing, and the whole thing is most likely true.
After all, they have made an invitation that requires seeing to be believing, and if it is fake it will be exposed quickly.
"Thank you very much for your honesty. Please wait a moment. I need a moment."
The Director of SHIELD immediately stood up and nodded, then quickly left the closed room and used emergency contact methods to bring his superiors and representatives of the Security Council member states together to prepare for a meeting.
As soon as he left, Coulson, who stayed behind, sighed and said with a wry smile: "Sir, you really gave us a huge problem. Because it is a little too early for the current Earth and human beings."
"No, not at all. Believe me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you."
After saying this, Balthazar stopped paying attention to the agent beside him, closed his eyes and began to meditate, trying to keep his soul and body in complete and harmonious unity.
On the other side, in the conference room on the top floor of the building, representatives from the five most powerful countries on the planet were gathered together via video, digesting the report just submitted by S.H.I.E.L.D. with shocked faces.
After several minutes, one of the representatives licked his lips and asked nervously, "Chief, are you sure this is not an April Fool's joke?"
First of all, today is not April 1st, and secondly, I also hope this is a joke.
But the problem is that this is reality, and the other party is right now in the safe house.
So you should consider the composition of the delegation.
After all, we only have twelve hours.
Considering the possible risks, I suggest that those who participate in this operation should be mentally prepared. "
"According to you, we are now in contact with a force that is far superior to us in terms of actual strength, scale, technology, and overall power?"
The expression of another representative also became solemn.
“I think the recent supernatural phenomena that have appeared around the world and the frequent emergence of black technology have proven this.
However, we will have to wait until the visit is over before we can draw a conclusion.
现在我们要做的是快速拟定一份名单。
这里边不仅要有擅长外交和政治的人,而且还得有各个领域的专家。
介于这可能是人类历史上第一次大规模与地外文明和势力进行接触,我希望诸位能做好充足的准备,同时摒弃之前的争斗团结在一起。”
说罢,尼克·弗瑞结束了这场短暂的会议,用力揉搓了一下因为长期缺乏睡眠而变得十分干涩的眼睛,整个人看上去异常的疲惫。
“你看上去很累?”
亚历山大·皮尔斯轻轻拍了拍这个自己一手提拔起来的下属肩膀上。
“何止是累,我现在感觉脑袋都快要炸裂开了。
知道吗? 我原本以为之前那些频繁出现的超自然现象和黑科技就已经够让人头疼的了。
可现在突然得知所有这一切都不过是某个超级势力不小心发送了一段广播造成的结果,那种被随意操控、玩弄的感觉简直糟糕透了。
我现在只希望那位巴萨扎先生的主人对我们不要有什么恶意。
否则的话人类将可能不会再有未来可言。”
在说这番话的时候,尼克·弗瑞端起刚刚倒进杯子里的威士忌仰起头一饮而尽,仿佛想要通过这种方式来缓解巨大的精神压力。
尽管他还有一张万不得已才会亮出底牌,可在面对一个随随便便就能摧毁地球成千上万次的势力,这张底牌恐怕很难发挥出应有的威慑力。
“放松点,你给自己的压力太大了。更何况事情还没发展到最糟糕的程度,不是吗?”亚历山大·皮尔斯笑着安慰道。
尼克·弗瑞随手将空杯子放在一旁,低声感叹道:“是啊,还没到最糟糕的程度,而且说不定还是一次机会。只是不知道要究竟要付出怎样的代价……”
“好了,别想太多,趁现在赶紧去睡上一觉。毕竟你可是代表团的最高负责人。”
亚历山大·皮尔斯眼睛里闪过一抹不易被察觉到的幽光,撂下这句话之后便也跟着转身离开,径直返回属于自己的办公室。
身为九头蛇组织的蛇头之一,他在得知这个消息的第一反应不是向其他人那样紧张和慌乱,而是异常的兴奋。
因为在他看来只要能好好把握住与更高层次文明和强大超自然势力接触的机会,就能完成上一任九头蛇组织最高领导人红骷髅征服和统治世界的野心。
至于要为此所需要付出的代价……
根本无所谓! 反正最后支付的又不是自己,而是九头蛇统治下的平民。
就这样,十二个小时很快就在一片鸡飞狗跳的忙碌中过去了。
虽然表面看起来什么事情都没有发生,可实际上安理会背后五个最强大的国家已经连夜召开了紧急会议并列出一份代表名单。
每搞定一个名额,军队就会立刻派出直升机去接人,然后用最快的超音速战斗机把这群专家送到指定的集合位置。
当太阳的第一缕阳光跃出海面照射到大地的时候,整整一百五十人的团队终于集结完毕。
由于根本没有时间吃早饭的关系,眼下他们正坐在地上一边啃着汉堡、炸鸡,一边喝着可乐或咖啡,三五成群聚集杂一起小声讨论着这次的任务。
尽管一夜没睡,可是却没有人有哪怕半点睡意,两只眼睛都神采奕奕。
毕竟这可是第三类接触!
而且对方所掌握的知识与科技要远比地球强大的多。
“巴萨扎先生,人已经齐了,您看什么时候出发?”
科尔森在自家局长的眼神示意下主动开口问了一句。
“随时都可以出发。因为他已经到了。”
伴随着巴萨扎最后一个字脱口而出,一个足有四米高、全身上下由坚硬岩石、金属构成的巨大身影突然凭空出现,直接把在场所有人都吓了一跳。
还没等他们反应过来发生了什么,这个石头巨人就弯下腰瓮声瓮气的问:“这些人都是要一起带走的吗?”
“是的,麻烦你把那个箱子拿出来吧。”巴萨扎略微点了下头。
“知道了。”
石巨人旅法师手中突然多出了一张卡牌,随后一个闪烁着蓝光的巨大传送门瞬间屹立在空地上。
只见他直接上前最大限度释放自己的火花之力,紧跟着火花便开始与超时空信标塔上无时无刻都在燃烧的火花产生共鸣。
短短几秒钟的功夫,原本一片混沌的蓝色漩涡另外一边就呈现出模糊的影像。
“现在可以通过了。动作快点,因为支撑这种传送是很消耗能量的。”石巨人旅法师大声催促道。
“跟我来吧。”
巴萨扎第一个带头走进了蓝色的光幕。
“我的神啊!这……这究竟是什么东西?外星人吗?它好像还有智慧会说话!”
一名生物学家整个人激动的浑身颤抖。
毕竟自从发明了“碳基生物”这个概念性的词汇之后,生物学家们就一直在尝试着寻找非碳基生物。
而眼前被烁油完化的石巨人显然就是其中之一。
如果不是被代表团里的其他人拖着,他甚至会冲上去与之进行交谈、然后做一系列的研究。
不过很可惜,相比起接下来要参观的东西,区区一个石巨人旅法师显然还算不了什么。
受到惊吓差点心脏病发作的尼克·弗瑞更是一连低声咒骂了好几句美式国骂才平复了心情,带上自己的心腹爱将科尔森穿过传送门抵达了另外一边。
仅仅三五秒钟过后,整个代表团就看到了让自己毕生难忘的一幕。
因为首先映入眼帘的除了高耸的超时空信标塔之外,就是三艘才建造好不久的荣光女王级战列舰。
无论是那动辄三十公里的长度,还是密密麻麻像城市群落一样的舰岛,又或是那些能把一栋大楼塞进去的宏炮、轨道攻击列阵、名为光矛的高能激光武器,都让还在玩区区几百米航母的人类代表团目瞪口呆。
尤其是武器和军事领域的专家,迅速意识到只需要一艘这样的超级太空战舰就能把地球炸个稀巴烂。
至于核导弹,估计都等不到飞离大气层就会被迅速击落、击毁。
除此之外,将几个浮空城合并到一起所形成的超巨型太空要塞也同样超出了代表团所能想象的极限。
“如何,我没骗你吧?”
巴萨扎注视着这些正在进行附魔的大家伙,脸上挂着淡淡的微笑。
失去语言能力半天的尼克·弗瑞深吸了一口气回应道:“事实摆在眼前,就算我不愿意相信也无法否认看到的事实。要是不介意的话,能告诉我这些战舰所配备的武器威力,还有他们能够达到多快的速度吗?”
“看到那些侧舷的大炮列阵了吗?
那玩意是用来把一栋大楼那么大的热核弹头加速到接近光速的程度,只需要一轮齐射就能摧毁一块大陆。
而主炮更是能一击摧毁一颗行星乃至恒星,进而引发超新星爆炸吞噬整个星系。
至于高能武器光矛,可以直接烧穿地心把一颗行星变成晶莹剔透的玻璃。
就像我之前对你说的那样,毁灭一颗星球对主人和我来说都不是什么难事。
像这样的战舰还会随着时间的推移数量越来越多。
也许是几十艘、也许是几百艘、也许是几千艘,主人需要多少这里就能生产出多少来。”
巴萨扎毫无保留的把左思魔改过的荣光女王级战列舰武器从头到尾介绍了一遍。
一时之间,代表团内所有听到这番话的人都开始嘴巴发干、浑身上下不停的出汗。
尤其是那些带着政治和外交任务来的家伙,无一例外都彻底放弃了所有试图进行谈判和讨价还价的方案。
因为差距实在是太过于巨大,任何可能会惹恼对方的小动作都可能导致地球和人类文明的毁灭。
像这种蠢事,也许那些实行独裁统治、狂妄无知的小国能干得出来的,但安理会里边的大国绝对不会如此愚蠢。
“那个……我们能到这些太空战舰上参观一下吗?”
一名白发苍苍的老人小心翼翼的提出了要求。
由于荣光女王级战列舰实在是太大了,大到光靠肉眼甚至无法一窥它的全貌,更不用提内部动辄几十层、上百层的甲板。
还没等巴萨扎来得及做出回答,日记本便瞬间通过传送出现在代表团的面前,笑盈盈的说道:“当然可以。为了表达善意,我允许你们进入战舰内部。不过请注意,千万必要随便乱碰,否则要是发生意外情况我可不负责。”
“您是……”
尼克·弗瑞眼睛里透露出强烈的好奇。
“我是这里的最高负责人,你可以叫我总管。”
日记本用略带自嘲的语气给出了一个称呼。
不过这个称呼用在被精神阉割了的他身上显然是相当的贴切。
"Then Mr. General, I want to know what is the purpose of your sudden appearance on Earth? Is it just to show your strength?"
Nick Fury went straight to the point and stated the biggest question he wanted to uncover on this trip.
Perhaps for those experts, this visit has just begun, and there will definitely be many advanced scientific and technological advances to come.
But for him, the tour was over the moment he saw the Queen of Glory-class battleship.
Under this magnitude of overwhelming advantage, the Earth simply has no ability to resist.
The diary pursed its lips and smiled, "Of course not. We will evaluate every universe affected by the Trans-Dimensional Beacon and make some corresponding remedial measures."
"remedy?"
Nick Fury keenly grasped a key word.
“Yes, remedy.
You don't think that information filled with a wealth of knowledge and technology is only spread on Earth, do you?
No, they spread throughout the universe.
Moreover, some of the magical knowledge has begun to get out of control and is spreading rapidly in the form of a cult.
At this rate, it won’t be long before a terrible demon is created.
So after evaluating the situation, I decided to contact you to see if we can sign an agreement to prevent the worst-case scenario from happening."
The diary started to deceive people with half-truths and half-falsehoods.
"You mean... it will provide protection for the Earth?"
Another representative's eyes lit up slightly.
"Yes, although it's not free."
The diary pretended to be nonchalant and gave an affirmative answer.
"What is the price? Gold? Minerals? Or some other scarce resources?" the representative continued to ask with great interest.
The diary smiled and shook its head: "Neither. For us who own several worlds and even universes, resources are never lacking. As for commodities, the things you produce with your level of technology are basically no different from garbage in our eyes. There is only one thing we need, and that is souls."
"What?"
"soul!"
"Are you demons?"
“That’s absolutely not possible!”
…
Suddenly, the delegation became extremely panicked, and even the SHIELD agents nervously gripped their service guns.
Even though they knew that this 9mm bullet might not cause even the slightest scratch on the opponent.
“Relax, don’t be so nervous.
The soul I am talking about here is not the soul of a living person, but the soul that leaves the body after people die.
Whether it is a death row prisoner, a killed terrorist or a warlord, they can all be used for trading.
And the destination of these souls is not as horrible as you imagine.
It’s no different than when we were alive.”
As it spoke, the diary directly opened a portal to the ninth level of Baator Hell.
In a flash!
The boundless and prosperous cyberpunk city appeared out of thin air within the delegation's sight.
He led the way through the portal and arrived at the other side. He pointed at the souls queuing at the entrance and introduced them, "See? These are the souls of mortals after death.
They will not be killed or tortured as in myths and legends, but will enter the city and continue to enjoy nearly eternal life like ordinary people, experience unprecedented excitement and indulge their inner potential desires.
As long as they do not violate rules and laws, every soul can obtain full freedom.
If you want, you can even run for election and get involved in politics here, or you can become a billionaire by doing business with your own intelligence and talent.”
"This place...seems pretty good!"
A middle-aged man in his forties glanced at the nightclub on the street not far away. Looking at those guys who were taking drugs, drinking, and enjoying the services of succubi and tiefling strippers, the word "envy" was written all over his face.
One of the succubi in particular is constantly changing her race, appearance, age and body shape through transformation magic.
When he turned into a juvenile form, this guy almost couldn't help but break away from the team and rush in.
Although he has achieved extraordinary achievements in his specialized field of scientific research, it does not mean that his moral level is high.
To be precise, in a country and society that is completely controlled by capital, morality is just a piece of toilet paper.
Don’t be fooled by those rich and powerful people who appear to be decent people through charity and donations on the surface. Some of the things they do secretly are absolutely beyond the imagination of normal people.
Private parties with special services are just child's play.
The truly evil, dirty, cruel and disgusting acts are mostly deeply hidden.
For example, they smuggle and sell children under the guise of protecting and rescuing them, and then use them to satisfy the twisted and morbid desires of some people...
