Although there were less than 300 participants, almost every one of them was a heavyweight, including but not limited to the country's top leaders such as the president, the secretary of defense and his senior generals, and the real major shareholders and owners behind the top military manufacturers.
Some of them came here urgently by plane under the guise of attending the UN General Assembly, while others announced that they came to attend a military forum.
The most important thing is that the entire itinerary was kept secret, and there was not a single annoying reporter present.
The appearance of these heavyweights was all for one person, that is Zuo Si, who was enjoying the food as if nothing had happened.
In just less than half an hour, he had become familiar with the most powerful group on the planet, answered some questions that the other party was concerned about, and also received a lot of gifts.
According to the more official statement, all exchanges were conducted in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.
The superb skills displayed by Zuo Si during the conversation even made many people ignore his identity as a dimensional demon god, and instead regarded him as an excellent politician who was well-educated and very knowledgeable about social etiquette.
His ability to handle any situation or problem with ease and a smile shocked Nick Fury, who had conducted a personality analysis and psychological profile on him.
Because this is completely different from what is described in the report.
He couldn't even figure out which one was Zuo Si's true self and which one was his disguise, or whether it was simply a dual personality or even multiple personalities.
After all, SHIELD knows too little about the dimensional demon and has no information to refer to or compare.
And the only Sorcerer Supreme on Earth who understands the Dimensional Demon God, Ancient One, is not willing to cooperate with him at all.
"My dear master, what do you think about me releasing a group suggestion magic on these politicians now, and then directly controlling them to become the queen of this planet?" Igvirv suddenly came close and whispered in his ear.
Apparently, after attending the movie premiere and gaining a huge number of admirers, the witch queen also came to the banquet through teleportation magic.
Of course, the senior executives present could not be unaware of her true identity and her recent actions.
It's just that no one cares.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that celebrity idols all have glamorous appearances and large fan bases, and it seems that a single call can create a huge social impact, but in fact, all of this is just an illusion.
Except for a very small number of people who have completed class transition, most of them are just tools to make money and export values and ideologies.
Once the capital behind it uses media hegemony, it can bring him down from the altar in minutes, turning him from a popular star idol into a despised garbage by everyone.
Zuo Si obviously felt the power of faith surrounding Igwirfu's body, and responded calmly: "I advise you not to do this.
Not to mention that I have reached an agreement with the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One, just concentrating power is not an easy task.
I don't think that with your chaotic and disorganized style of doing things, you can sort out the complex political structures of countries on the earth.
Moreover, do you think that even if you control all the countries on this planet, you can enjoy the happiness brought by power? No! You will have to deal with endless invasions and threats next.
So ruling this planet is a completely thankless task.
It is better to maintain a semi-protective, semi-cooperative relationship, let the world grow wildly, and see what it will eventually become. "
"So you don't mind if I have a little fun, do you?"
As he said this, Igwilfu turned his gaze towards Alexander Pierce not far away, and a hint of imperceptible cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Of course I don't mind. There are all kinds of forces hidden on this planet. One more or one less of you won't make a difference. Even if you bring the Balor Flame Demon here, it will only add a more troublesome potential danger."
Zuo Si gave an affirmative answer with an indifferent look on his face.
As a great devil and holder of the abyss fragment, he could smell the devilish scent emanating from this North American snake head from a distance.
But this is obviously not a big deal.
After all, there are already Skrulls, Inhumans, Eternals, Deviants, the god Tiamu who sleeps deep in the earth, the Dark Book compiled by the god of the underworld Sithon, and the scarlet witch Wanda who uses chaos magic on Earth. It won’t be long before Thor, the god of thunder from Asgard, and his half-brother Loki will also come...
In addition, external forces such as the Kree, the Chitauri Army, and Thanos and the Dark Elves behind them take turns to appear.
In the face of such a vibrant and flourishing scene, a combination of Hydra and the devil may not even be a minor concern.
Upon hearing this, Igwirfu immediately revealed a charming smile, and in a very ambiguous manner, he whispered in Zuo Si's ear: "Thank you for your generosity and kindness. Now I can finally let go and have fun."
"Be careful, don't make too much noise, at least not before the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One dies."
Zuo Si issued a warning in a slightly serious tone.
There's nothing we can do about it, since the people in the Chaos Camp all look like they want the world to be in chaos.
It's simply a daydream to expect these guys to stay like the lawful camp.
Zuo Si didn't have any good solution for this. He could only allow them to have some fun within a certain range to prevent them from secretly planning any big moves.
However, there are differences even though they are both in the chaos camp.
People like Sarevok and the vampire queen Badi are relatively calm and rational. They can control their emotions well and won't lose control easily.
Igwilfu and Pyromancer Alena are extremely dangerous examples of the insane type.
Once they get excited, they cannot control themselves at all. They will release their chaotic nature like a madman and do whatever they want without restraint. Even death can't retreat them.
"Please rest assured. I have finally obtained such an interesting toy. Of course I must cherish it and will never damage it easily. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that Nick Fury has found the plane that crashed in the Arctic, and also recovered Captain America and the Cosmic Cube that had been frozen for seventy years."
After saying that, Igvirf licked his lips with his tongue, a creepy light flashing in his pupils, then he turned around and turned into a phantom and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Needless to say, the famous Hydra organization is nothing more than a chess piece that can be manipulated and played with at will in the eyes of this "Witch Queen".
Poor Alexander Pierce had no idea what would happen once his soul was completely twisted into a demon and Igvirf revealed his identity as the Lord of the Abyss.
Just when Zuo Si was considering whether to take the time to take a look at the space gem, he suddenly saw a tall, middle-aged white man walking towards him.
A woman in a dress tried to block him.
The two of them entangled and dodged each other for more than 20 meters, then the man suddenly stopped and turned around, successfully shaking off the woman and walked closer, raised his glass to signal, then introduced himself with a smile.
"My name is Thaddeus E. Ross, and I am from the U.S. military. It is a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency Soth. I happen to have a very valuable and promising research project on hand, and I wonder if you are interested."
"Oh? What is it?"
Zuo Si glanced at Maria Hill, who had just gotten up from the ground and was surrounded by several people not far away, with a playful smile on his face.
There is no doubt that General Ross was fully prepared for this meeting, and it is even possible that he had obtained the tacit approval of higher-level US military officials.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to be willing to come forward to help.
"I believe you must have heard of the Hulk? This monster created by gamma radiation not only has an almost invincible ability to withstand blows, but also never tires and has infinite strength.
Apart from being uncontrollable, he is simply the most perfect warrior.
I have a sample of his blood and a sample of the super soldier serum that was restored at that time. I hope to exchange them with you."
General Ross was obviously not a man who liked to beat around the bush, so he stated his purpose straight away.
Because he knew that Nick Fury would never give him too much time, so he had to race against time to make the deal.
“所以你想要阿斯塔特的改造技术？”
左思毫不费力就读取到了对方脑海中的思维与记忆。
要知道来自战锤宇宙的阿斯塔特改造手术虽然成功率也算不上高，能活着完成十九道（普通阿斯塔特）乃至二十一道（原铸阿斯塔特）手术的更是屈指可数。
除此之外，接受改造后还会有一个成长期，少则八到十年、多则二十年左右。
但从制造成本上来说绝对比制造第二个美国队长、绿巨人要便宜的多。
最重要的是作为一种成熟的技术，它的成功率都是固定的。
也就是说扔进去一千个人，总能有一小部分活下来成为拥有强大力量的超级战士，而不是全部死亡或者造出另外一个不可控的怪物。
另外阿斯塔特战士不会衰老，理论上只要没有战死就可以一直使用下去。
这对于军队来说无疑是非常具有吸引力的。
至于死亡率……
作为一个能在第一次世界大战结束后用伤残士兵做心理创伤研究，首都大街上开着坦克碾压讨薪退伍军人，命令士兵进入核爆区域观察辐射对人体伤害的国家，怎么可能会在乎这个。
反正大头兵这种炮灰要多少就有多少。
只要开出在军队服役就能获得移民资格的条件，全球范围内有的是人报名。
尤其是那些渴望逃离战争、犯罪和混乱的底层平民，会为了一个名额付出自己所拥有的一切。
而军方只需要对这些招募来的新兵做一些体能和服从性方面的训练，然后便可以拉去做强化改造。
死掉的直接就地掩埋，连薪水、保险、赔偿金和承诺的移民资格统统都能省下，成本低到几乎可以忽略不计。
成功活下来并成为超级士兵的自然会获得自己梦寐以求的一切，然后在大环境的影响下逐渐接受新身份，成为军方手中一支应对特殊情况的王牌力量。
罗斯将军不加思索的点了点头：“没错。不过我并没有那么贪心想要直接获得全套的改造技术，只是希望能够得到一些名额，并确保至少有三到五个能够活下来。”
“可以，我接受你的条件。”
左思非常干脆的答应下来。
因为这对于他来说根本毫无难度可言。
阿斯塔特改造手术成功率低？ 没关系！ 各种神术、药剂和魔法装备可以直接让接受改造的人想死都死不了，就算不小心暴毙也能直接复活拉起来继续。
反倒是绿巨人浩克的血液相当具有研究价值。
相信蓝色魔判官金吉塔厦一定能利用它搞出点什么有趣的玩意。
“非常感谢。稍后我会派人把东西和名单送到您的手上。”
达成目的的罗斯将军顿时露出了兴奋和喜悦的表情，就连语气态度也变得愈发恭敬。
左思笑着摇了摇头：“不用那么麻烦，像这种小事你直接去找伊格维尔伏或巴萨扎就好，他们会把一切都办理妥当的。”
就在罗斯将军还想要说点什么的时候，突然发现玛丽亚·希尔已经挣脱了包围，另外一边尼克·弗瑞也正在快步朝着这边走过来。
意识到自己已经没有更多时间的他只能冷哼一声，随后颇为无奈的叹了口气：“唉——十分抱歉，看来我必须得走了。神盾局那些家伙自从得到了安理会的授权就变得越来越不可一世，就连我们这些保家卫国的军人都受到了他们的排挤和打压。”
“保家卫国？呵呵，将军，你是认真的吗？”
左思眼睛里透露出毫不掩饰的戏谑。
“咳咳咳咳……”
眼见自己的谎言跟小心思被拆穿，罗斯将军老脸立马变得通红，也不敢做任何辩解立刻灰溜溜的转身逃离了现场。
他前脚刚走，后脚玛丽亚·希尔和尼克·弗瑞两人就到了。
尤其是卤蛋局长，对整个美国军方都充满了警惕，低声询问道：“刚才罗斯将军都跟您说了些什么？”
“没什么，他用自己手头所掌握的超级士兵血清资料和绿巨人的血液，跟我交换了几个阿斯塔特星际战士的改造名额。”
左思没有任何隐瞒大大方方把交易的内容说了出来。
“法克！还是让这家伙得逞了！”
尼克·弗瑞直接没忍住爆了一句口粗。
他很清楚这绝对是军方不甘心坐视神盾局的权力越来越大，所以想要借此机会获得一些能够与之对抗的筹码。
一旦军方有了阿斯塔特星际战士，那么他们就能在权力的博弈中保证自己不会沦为附庸。
“阁下，您能取消这次交易码？如果让罗斯将军得到他想要的，一切都将变得非常麻烦。”玛丽亚·希尔小心翼翼的试探道。
左思微微摇了摇头：“抱歉，不行。
因为交易就是交易，一旦达成就必须要遵守并完成它。
更何况你们的麻烦跟我有什么关系？ 我又没有违反任何契约上的条款。
如果你们想要制约这位罗斯将军，完全可以用灵魂货币购买同样数量的阿斯塔特改造名额和其他增值服务。
只要支付的灵魂货币数量足够，我甚至保证成功率是百分之百。
也就是说，即便是你们俩也可以获得强大的力量，以及几乎不会衰老死亡的身体。
听起来很诱人，不是吗？”
这番话顿时让尼克·弗瑞的嘴角不受控制抽搐了两下，随后忍不住吐槽道：“您的这幅做派让我想起了那些发战争财的军火商人。他们也总是希望能够把武器同时卖给交战的双方。”
“可你跟罗斯将军并不是敌人，反而还是同一阵营的合作伙伴，不是吗？”
左思似笑非笑的反问。
“是呀，这才是最让人头疼的地方。”
尼克·弗瑞一脸嫌弃的盯着不远处正在举杯向自己示威的罗斯将军，恨不能直接冲过去把这个讨厌的家伙活活掐死。
要知道他在年轻的时候也是个火爆脾气，凡是能动手绝对不哔哔。
不过很可惜，这种想法只能存在于脑海之中，根本无法辅助实际行动。
因为罗斯将军之所以能在军方和政坛呼风唤雨，并不是他本人有多么厉害，而是其别后站着一个强大的政治利益集团。
就算成功扳倒了一个罗斯将军，还会有第二个、第三个、第四个罗斯将军站出来。
相比起换上一个完全不了解的新人，尼克·弗瑞更喜欢跟这个已经被自己看透的家伙打交道。
起码罗斯将军还在遵守着权力游戏的规则，造成威胁也基本可控。
想到这，卤蛋局长原本烦躁的内心速平复了下来，从口袋里掏出手机展示了一张图片：“这是我在神盾局资料库中找到唯一符合您描述的东西。关于它的记载和描述都非常模糊、混乱、宛如疯子一样的呓语，能麻烦您解释一下这究竟是什么东西吗？”
“它的名字叫《黑暗神书》，里边记载了差不多所有的黑暗魔法，是一本能够然任何阅读者都能获取到自己想要知识的强大神器。
不过唯一的缺点就是精神会受到影响和腐蚀，最终沦为疯子或受到创造者支配的仆从和奴隶。
如果你们找到这本书最好在第一时间通知我。
因为它所能造成的威胁和破坏并不比之前多玛姆入侵地球差多少，甚至还要更甚一些。
最后再提醒一句，千万不要尝试着去研究那些你们不了解的东西。
否则后果可能会非常非常的严重。”
说罢，左思也不理会对方脸上错愕中带着慌乱的表情，抬起头看了一眼悬挂在高处的电子时钟。
“不好意思，时间到了，我也该走了。谢谢你们的热情招待。”
“您要去哪？”
玛丽亚·希尔下意识追问了一句。
左思用半开玩笑的语气回应道：“我打算去哥谭见见蝙蝠侠布鲁斯·韦恩，顺便感受一下这座城市的混乱、扭曲与罪恶。”
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出，他胸口的火花顿时绽放出璀璨刺眼的光芒，紧跟着整个人便化作一团秘法之火消失了。
这是成为一半黑暗维度领主后所获得的特殊能力，可以掩盖传送目的地的坐标，让任何人都无法进行追踪和定位。
看着眼前宛如萤火虫般在空气中迅速消散的火光，尼克·弗瑞不由得眉头紧皱的问：“你觉得他这句话究竟是在开玩笑还是认真的？”
“额……我觉得应该开玩笑的成分居多吧。毕竟不管是蝙蝠侠还是哥谭市都是漫画里的东西。也许他在路边的书店看过几本类似的书，然后想要向我们展示一下自己的幽默感。”玛丽亚·希尔用不是很确定的语气猜测道。
"I hope so. We're in enough trouble already. And I'm sure he knows about the Tesseract and the alien artifact Coulson found in New Mexico."
As he said this, Nick Fury's already dark face became even darker.
You must know that in the latest backup plan, the Cosmic Cube is the last resort to restrain Zuo Si at the critical moment.
But now, the plan has been known to the other party before it could even be launched.
However, Director Ludan is obviously not someone who will give up easily.
Just the opposite.
He felt that the more dangerous they were, the more it showed the huge potential these two things had, and he should continue to study them until they became his trump card.
…
About a few hours later, in the New Mexico desert, SHIELD agents had expelled those ordinary people and set up a fully enclosed mobile laboratory around Thor's hammer to test this unknown object that no one could lift.
Unfortunately, this thing is obviously beyond the scope of human understanding at the current level of technology.
No matter what method I used, it didn't have any effect at all.
On the contrary, it was because of the thunder power released from the hammer from time to time that many equipment worth millions or even tens of millions of dollars were completely burned.
Seeing that conventional methods didn't work, Coulson, the person in charge on the scene, finally turned to the special consultant he had just called for help: "What do you think this strange hammer that fell from the sky is?"
"It's simple. It's a divine weapon."
Balthazar gave a straightforward answer.
"Artifact?"
Coulson repeated the word with his eyes wide open.
Balthazar nodded slightly: "Yes, the artifact.
As the name suggests, it is a weapon made by God.
First there were the materials, including a magical metal more powerful than anything I had ever seen, the core of a dead star, and a primordial storm with a self-awareness that rivaled the power of a god.
The second is the numerous magic spells bestowed upon it.
These magics are equivalent to the former conditions. Anyone who wants to lift or even use it must meet the corresponding conditions.
That's why no matter how hard you try you can't move it even an inch.
Congratulations, it looks like you are dealing with a real God this time.
I suggest you brush up on Norse mythology.
Because this hammer is very similar to the legendary Thor's hammer, Mjolnir."
"What?! Norse mythology? Thor?"
Hawkeye, who was passing by, was stunned when he heard this, his face full of shock and disbelief.
As a field agent working for S.H.I.E.L.D. for so many years, he might believe in the existence of aliens, but he has always scoffed at those myths and legends.
"Believe it or not, I have already given you a suggestion. You should know that the power of this hammer is more terrifying than any weapon you currently have, including the cyclone torpedo that can destroy all life on a planet."
Balthazar gave his assessment of Mjolnir directly.
As one of the most well-known weapons in the Marvel Universe, Thor's hammer is not as simple as it seems.
Many people even think that it was crushed by the goddess of death Hela with her bare hands, so they think it is not as good as Stormbreaker.
But in fact, Mjolnir's origin is much greater than Stormbreaker.
Not only does it grant the user the ability to control storms, lightning, and weather, but it can also harm or even kill gods and destroy planets.
Especially the "Storm of the Gods" sealed inside, which is said to have power comparable to that of Odin.
So anyone who lifts Thor's hammer can gain the powerful storm force it bestows.
This is something that Stormbreaker, which can only enhance Thor's own divine power, does not have.
It is no wonder that even after he got Stormrage, Thor still couldn't forget his once favorite hammer.
"You mean we might be facing one or more gods in this mission?"
Coulson tried to make a final confirmation with a serious face, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to call his director.
Although the time was already past midnight, Nick Fury's precious sleep should not be disturbed under normal circumstances.
But he obviously couldn't care less at this moment.
After all, the horrific disaster caused by Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension, during his invasion is still vivid in our minds. The global death toll from that time alone reached tens of millions, and the aftermath has not subsided yet, so that the entire SHIELD, from top to bottom, has a psychological shadow.
Now, when people mention gods and demons, they can't help but tense up.
Because compared with these horrific creatures that cannot be described in words, both the Earth civilization and human life are too fragile.
"Yes, I am quite sure of it."
As Balthazar blurted out these words, Coulson immediately pressed the dial button on the phone.
On the other side, Nick Fury, who got up from the bed in his pajamas, immediately lost all his sleepiness after listening to the report from his subordinates. He became energetic after being greatly frightened. His waist and legs no longer hurt. It took him less than fifteen minutes to rush from his home to the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building.
He doesn't look like a person who has slept no more than four hours a day for two consecutive months and whose physical fatigue has long exceeded the limit.
While he was busy formulating countermeasures, Alexander Pierce also received intelligence secretly transmitted by Sitwell.
The snake head, whose soul had been twisted into a demon by evil magic, grinned meaningfully: "Artifacts, Norse mythology, Thor's hammer, and the lost and recovered Cosmic Cube...
interesting!
It’s really interesting!
Ha ha ha ha!
Who would have thought that everything the Red Skull had always dreamed of getting is now right in front of me.
There are also magic and demons from the abyss!
The world is becoming more and more wonderful! And I am the one who is destined to be the chosen one to rule the earth! Power!
I need more power!"
Along with hysterical roars, Alexander Pierce's body began to swell rapidly, and eventually transformed into a demon over three meters and five meters tall, emitting an evil and filthy aura from head to toe.
He grabbed a prisoner whose hands and feet were tied and whose mouth was sealed with tape, and threw him directly onto the devil's altar in his basement. He broke every bone in his body in a very bloody and cruel way, and finally twisted the person like a piece of clothing, letting the crushed flesh and blood and filth gush out.
The horrifying scene even made the Hydra subordinates nearby feel so sick that they almost vomited.
Only the brainwashed Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes had no reaction at all and still stood there coldly.
Needless to say, he knew that all these vicious criminals and gang members, who exuded dark red evil auras from head to toe, were captured by his team without exception.
Because only the energy squeezed out of sufficiently evil souls can allow Alexander Pierce's demon to absorb enough sin and evolve into a more powerful demon form.
Likewise, his magical abilities also grew in the process.
You have to know that in the magic training class run by SHIELD, there are only a few people who can just perform the zero-ring trick.
And this guy can already cast fourth-level spells with ease.
However, he did not follow the wizard route, but the spell-like abilities of a warlock and demonization.
More than forty people were sacrificed in one go, and the entire basement had become a purgatory-like scene.
Even the sewage pools at slaughterhouses pale in comparison.
"Clean this place up!"
Alexander Pierce gave orders to the Hydra soldiers on standby, paying no attention to the severe physical discomfort they were experiencing.
But unfortunately, these guys obviously had no choice but to put on masks and start putting the scattered meat paste, broken bones, eyeballs, kidneys, intestines and other things into sealed bags and transport them away for disposal.
In addition, the bloodstains must be washed away to ensure that no detectable traces are left.
In this regard, the new generation of Hydra from S.H.I.E.L.D. are absolute experts.
Alexander Pierce, who had regained his human form, took Crossbones Brock Rumlow and John Garrett back to the living room on the first floor, poured a glass of wine for each of them, raised his glass and said, "To our common great cause! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
…
The three of them raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp, with strange looks flashing in their eyes.
Because they all feel that they were born in the best era, an era full of danger, chaos and opportunities.
Whether it is technology or magic, there will inevitably be a period of explosive growth.
As long as it can seize the opportunity, Hydra will surely be able to stand on top of the world again.
"Brock, how do you think we should use the information sent back by Sitwell?" Alexander Pierce asked, putting down the empty wine glass in his hand.
Crossbones lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering, "I think we should send at least an elite action team to hide nearby and wait for the right moment to act. If a conflict or even a war breaks out, we will try to obtain combat information or collect some items to bring back for research."
"My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. It's best not to move now. After all, SHIELD doesn't know about our existence yet, and we can continue to take advantage of this. If we take the risk of acting alone and expose ourselves, it will become very troublesome to deal with."
John Garrett followed suit and expressed his views.
"But that is the hammer of Thor from Norse mythology! According to Balthazar, the person who lifts it will gain the power to control storms, weather, and thunder, and even become the god of thunder himself."
Crossbones' tone became noticeably agitated.
Obviously, he was spying on the power of Thor's hammer.
Because among the three people present, he was the only one who was still an ordinary person without any super powers.
Alexander Pierce, needless to say, has acquired magical and demonic powers, and John Garrett has also undergone human body modification.
“Calm down.
I am certainly aware of how tempting the power of Thor's hammer is.
But the problem is that if you want to get it, it means facing the gods.
We are not ready for this yet.
In comparison, the lost and recovered Cosmic Cube is actually a better choice.
Don't forget, that is something that the devil can call dangerous.
Nick Fury is trying to convince the Security Council to support his further research."
After that, Alexander Pierce patted Crossbones' shoulder gently to comfort him.
"You mean to seize the Cosmic Cube?"
John Garrett looked troubled.
Because the confidentiality level of this plan was so high, even he had to work hard to get the information.
Without the corresponding professional knowledge, it would be difficult to insert the human hand.
Alexander Pierce smiled and shook his head: “No, that’s too low.
Remember General Ross's super soldier program? Put one of our guys on that list.
Then they used the power of the political circles to lobby the White House and get the military to join in under the banner of maintaining security.
If nothing unexpected happens, we'll just sit back and wait to share S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research results.
If something unexpected happens, we will seize the Cosmic Cube in the chaos."
"But I heard that Astartes' transformation surgery is very dangerous and has a very high probability of death. How can we guarantee that our people will survive?" Crossbones questioned.
"Isn't this simple? Of course, we need to prepare enough souls for him!
In Baator, you can buy almost anything with enough souls.
If we give enough benefits to the person in charge of the transformation operation, he will naturally use the power of magic to ensure that our people stay alive.
So what you have to do next is to go hunting with the demons I summoned.
The more people die, the more leverage we have.”
As he spoke, Alexander Pierce reached out his hand and gently touched the Babu Demon and the Soul Eater Demon, who were crawling on the ground like puppies to show their submission to him.
After a long period of tireless sacrifice, he has successfully summoned more than thirty demons from the Abyss.
Under normal circumstances, given the chaotic nature of demons, a riot would have already occurred when the number of demons far exceeded their control capabilities.
But under the intimidation of Igvirf's mark, all the summoned demons dared not make any unusual movements.
Because they were not sure who this half-demon, half-human guy was to the Witch Queen, and whether he was carrying out the orders or tasks she had given him.
What's more, Alexander Pierce was quite generous when treating demons. He would feed them one or two mortal souls every once in a while, and even allowed them to torture, abuse, bite and devour the living flesh of mortals.
"Understood. I'll arrange this."
Crossbones immediately put on a demon-summoning ring and turned away.
Since both the Soul Eater and the Babu Demon possess advanced teleportation abilities, he does not need to parade these terrifying creatures around the city. Instead, he can summon them out before the hunt begins.
Similar situations are nothing new to Hydra leaders in North America.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is to be careful that these demons may go crazy in the process of killing and collecting souls, and then attack indiscriminately.
There have been many unlucky people who fell under the sudden attacks of demons.
After sending Crossbones away, Alexander Pierce turned his gaze to John Garrett and asked in a tone as if he were an old friend: "How is your adopted son now?"
The latter responded with a proud look on his face: “I can only tell you that everything went well.
Grant Ward is an assistant I have carefully trained and a true genius.
He has quietly completed the collection of information on all members of the magic training class, including their personalities, weaknesses, families, friends, growth experiences, and so on.
Just one order and all Nick Fury's hard work would be wasted in an instant.
Besides, I have also handed over to him the magic you gave me intactly.
Now his learning progress has far surpassed everyone else and he has become the most outstanding rising star.
Perhaps it won’t be long before my adopted son is appointed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and becomes an authoritative expert in the field of magic and the occult.”
"Very good! Don't let him get out of your control. Because in a few days, I will have a very important ceremony that requires his help."
Alexander Pierce showed a satisfied look, and then turned to the last page of the magic notebook given by Igwilfu. On it was a very complicated summoning array and a line of Abyssal Language written in blood-red ink...
