Chapter 129 Red Skull and Murdoch
Looking at Red Tank charging at him like a rhinoceros, Lynn instantly teleported behind him.
A dagger appeared in Lynn's hand, and the next second, the dagger unhesitatingly stabbed towards Red Tank's neck.
"Crack!"
The expected scene of the dagger piercing Red Tank's neck did not happen; instead, the sharp dagger snapped directly.
Seeing Red Tank try to grab him, Lynn dodged, and then a violent surge of lightning energy slammed into Red Tank.
"Boom!"
The violent lightning energy exploded around Red Tank, but aside from a painful roar when struck by lightning, Red Tank sustained no damage.
"Tear...I'm going to tear you apart!"
With crimson eyes fixed on Lynn, Red Tank stretched out his massive hand and lunged for Lynn's neck.
Seeing Red Tank reach for his neck, Lynn slid to his right, and his fists, imbued with immense power, rained down on Red Tank's ribs like a storm, landing hundreds of punches in the same spot within a few breaths.
"Ah!!!"
The continuous heavy punches gradually drove Red Tankinto a frenzy, and a layer of blood-red light even began to emanate from his body.
Seeing this, Lynn immediately retreated a few steps, then unleashed Heat Vision directly at Red Tank's eyes.
When Steve and the others arrived in the Kun-style Fighter Jet, they saw Lynn flying in the air, his eyes emitting Heat Vision, attacking Red Tank's eyes.
However, the Heat Vision was blocked by the red energy emanating from Red Tank's skin.
Not only that, Wolverine Logan, who had rushed over from nearby, used his Adamantium claws to slash Red Tank's skin, but it didn't leave even a single scratch.
Seeing this, Scott exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? Logan's Adamantium claws can cut through steel, but now they can't even break Red Tank's skin? This is impossible!"
"Something's wrong!"
Hearing Scott's shocked tone, Jean Grey, who was beside him, saw Red Tank punch Logan flying, and then Lynnpressing the attack.
She then frowned and said, "This Red Tank is very unusual. When we fought him before, even though he was very strong, he definitely didn't have such powerful defense!"
"Furthermore, I can feel a very evil aura emanating from him!"
Hearing Jean Grey say this, Steve, holding his shield, said, "Regardless of any evil aura, we must quickly capture or eliminate this guy, otherwise more people will die!"
Saying that, Steve was about to charge out with his shield, but he was stopped by Bruce Banner, who had come with him.
"Leave this fight to me. Hulk is already itching for a fight!"
As he spoke, green blood flowed through Dr. Banner's veins, and the next second, Hulk roared and charged towards Red Tank.
"Ant..."
Red Tank, who had been continuously suppressed by Lynn's speed and skill, was now furious to the extreme. He was about to roar at Lynn, but the next second, Hulk's massive fist directly sent him flying.
"Friend, Hulk wants to smash him!"
Hearing Hulk grin at him with a clenched fist, signaling to leave Red Tank to him.
Lynn nodded and said, "Be careful, this guy is a bit off!"
"Hulk, strongest!"
After saying that, before Red Tank could even get up, Hulk leaped high and then slammed his heavy fist onto Red Tank's head.
Seeing the two fighting, Lynn returned to Steve and the others.
"Lynn, during your fight with Red Tank, did you notice anything unusual about him?"
"He must be controlled by some power!"
Facing Jean Grey's question, Lynn pointed to his head: "During the fight just now, Red Tank's mind was a bit abnormal, he seemed to have become a Beast that only knows how to kill."
"And besides the red light emanating from his body, even his eyes turned crimson."
"I suspect that some power has not only controlled him but also strengthened his defense, to the point where even Logan's claws can't break through his defense."
Hearing Lynn say this, Jean Grey thought for a few seconds: "After Magneto rescued him, he always stayed by his side."
"When the Brotherhood of Mutants and X-Men fought, we clashed with him, but he was powerful then, though definitely not as strong as he is now."
"Besides that, the aura on Red Tank is also off."
No sooner had Jean Grey finished speaking than Hulkwas sent flying back towards them.
He managed to stop just a few meters away from Lynnand the others. Being punched by Red Tank filled Hulkwith anger.
"Roar!!!"
With a roar, Hulk's aura seemed to grow even stronger.
Seeing Hulk charge at Red Tank again, the two exchanged powerful blows.
Steve glanced around and then said, "I've already called an ambulance, but there are still some people secretly filming. I'll go evacuate them!"
Hulk and Red Tank's battle was incredibly fierce, the sound of their punches even made Tony Stark's teeth ache.
"This is the first time I've seen anyone who can compete with Hulk in terms of strength. According to Jarvis's analysis, both Hulk and Red Tank's strength are continuously increasing."
"The angrier Hulk gets, the stronger he becomes, but how can this Red Tank do it too?"
Facing Tony's question, Lynn frowned in thought, while Scott shook his head and said, "We've fought Red Tankbefore, but he wasn't this powerful."
"And he's emitting a strange red light. I just feel..."
"Setorak!"
Hearing Lynn suddenly mention that name, everyone subconsciously looked at him.
"As far as I know, Red Tank's power comes from the evil god Setorak. Setorak used a ruby to grant Red Tankincredibly powerful abilities!"
Hearing Lynn's explanation, Tony Stark asked curiously, "How do you know all this? Is it FBI intelligence?"
Jean Grey and the others also looked at Lynn curiously, sharing Tony's bewilderment.
Lynn didn't explain their curiosity, instead, he looked at the two fighting, then instantly teleported away from his spot.
On the battlefield.
"Roar!"
Clenching his fists and roaring at Red Tank, Hulk raised his fists and slammed them heavily towards Red Tank.
Seeing Hulk's fist, Red Tank also roared, unwilling to show weakness, and then clenched his fists to go head-to-head with Hulk.
"Bang!"
The collision of two powerful fists created a huge impact, shattering even the glass of nearby shops.
Teleporting around Red Tank, Lynn's gaze constantly searched his body.
When he fought him just now, he noticed that Red Tankwas clearly disoriented, his mind filled with thoughts of destruction.
So Lynn guessed that this should be the influence of the Setorak Ruby, and that ruby should even be on him.
But after a careful search, Lynn couldn't find the SetorakRuby anywhere.
Just as Lynn took out his dagger, preparing to rush forward and slice open Red Tank's clothes to search.
His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a sudden flash of light from the area of Red Tank's heart under his skin, after Hulk punched him in the chest.
Although it was only for a brief moment, Lynn still caught it!
Understanding instantly, Lynn directly said to Hulk, "Hulk, attack his heart!"
Hulk, who was originally exchanging blows with Red Tank, paused for a moment after hearing Lynn's words.
A hint of confusion flashed in his angry, large eyes. Although he didn't know why his friend wanted him to hit this big guy's heart.
But Hulk knew that his friend wouldn't lie to him!
"Roar!"
Roaring once more, Hulk stood his ground, letting Red Tank's fists continuously pound his body, while his own fists relentlessly struck Red Tank's heart.
Every time Hulk's heavy punch landed on Red Tank's heart area, the red light in Red Tank's heart area would flash.
Each time this happened, Red Tank's emotions seemed to grow even more furious, and his crimson eyes filled with rage!
"Sure enough, the Setorak Ruby is hidden here!"
A ball of lightning energy appeared in his right hand and slammed into Red Tank's head. Taking advantage of his body tilting, Lynn's dagger unhesitatingly stabbed into Red Tank's chest.
"Crack..."
The dagger aimed at Red Tank's heart, but this time, it didn't even touch Red Tank's skin before being shattered by that strange red energy.
Seeing this, Lynn felt even more certain.
He delivered a heavy kick to Red Tank's leg, watching him drop to his knees with a thud.
Lynn took out another dagger and said, "Hulk, restrain him, and use fire!"
Lynn didn't believe that the magic Sorcerer Ancient Onepainstakingly taught Hulk would be ordinary flames.
"Okay!"
Hearing Lynn's words, before Red Tank could get up, Hulk grabbed his hands from behind and then roared, "Hulk Fire!"
Accompanying Hulk's roar, intense burning flames directly erupted from Hulk's body.
The blazing flames made Red Tank struggle and roar, but Hulk still held him tightly from behind, refusing to let go.
The struggling and twisting of the two giants within the flames looked like a bizarre dance, but Lynn's gaze was fixed on Red Tank's chest.
When he saw the deep red light beneath Red Tank's chest skin growing more and more intense, seemingly about to burst forth at any moment, Lynn's eyes narrowed, and he once again held the dagger and stabbed into Red Tank's chest.
This time, the dagger did not break; instead, it directly pierced into Red Tank's chest.
"Ah!!!"
The intense pain made Red Tank struggle continuously, but Hulk still held him tightly, while Lynn used the dagger to cut open his chest, revealing the divine ruby.
As Lynn pulled out the dagger, the Setorak Gem automatically flew out of Red Tank's chest.
After the ruby flew out, Red Tank, who had been screaming and struggling, gradually lost his strength, kneeling on the ground and gasping for breath.
Seeing that Red Tank was no longer struggling, and a faint smell of scorching emanated from him, Hulkextinguished the flames.
Controlling the force field energy to fix the ruby in mid-air, Lynn did not touch it, but instead said to Tony, "Tony, make a box with your nano-suit!"
Hearing Lynn's words, Tony Stark stepped out of his suit, and then the nano-suit on his wrist transformed into a box: "How did you know I carry a nano-suit with me?"
"You showed it off to me!"
Taking the nano-box, Lynn placed the ruby inside.
The moment the gem entered the box, Lynn's Spider-Sense warned him frantically, and even the hairs on his body stood on end, as if he was being targeted by some mysterious and powerful being.
Feeling the source of the danger, Lynn immediately looked up into the sky.
There was nothing in the light blue sky, but Lynn seemed to see a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him.
If he wasn't mistaken, the one staring at him should be Loki Setorak!
After staring at Lynn for a few seconds, the gaze receded, and Lynn's Spider-Sense warning slowly disappeared.
"Is this that Loki gem?"
Looking at the red gem inside the box, Tony was about to touch it but was stopped by Lynn: "Don't touch it. Anyone who touches this Loki gem will become like Red Tank."
Hearing Lynn say this, Tony was not afraid but rather intrigued: "Are you saying that if I just touch this ruby, I can have Red Tank's power?"
Seeing Tony looking even more eager to try, Lynn said, "That's right, anyone who touches this ruby can indeed gain Red Tank's power, but the price is that your IQ will be the same as Red Tank's."
Hearing Lynn say this, Tony Stark, who had originally wanted to try, recoiled his hand as if electrocuted: "Then forget it. As the greatest genius of this century, if I become as stupid as Red Tank, the entire World will suffer a loss!"
Watching Tony's narcissistic demeanor, Natasha and others walked over: "Although this isn't the first time you've boasted, I'm still a bit unaccustomed to it!"
Ignoring the others, Lynn turned to look at Red Tank, who was kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath, his chest wound already healed: "How did the ruby get into your body?"
"I don't know."
Facing Lynn's inquiry, Red Tank stood up from the ground, his rationality also returning.
He glanced at Hulk, who was behind him, clenching his fists and glaring at him. Red Tank snorted, then turned to Lynn and said, "I was originally helping Magneto build a Mutant nation, and then I ended up here."
"Anyway, after my consciousness returned, I was being held down on the ground by this big green guy."
"You mean you don't have any memory of what happened in Manhattan?"
Hearing Red Tank say this, Natasha stepped forward and asked, "Including your memory of fighting Hulk and Lynnjust now."
"No."
Shaking his head, Red Tank turned to look at Hulk, who was still staring at him: "Don't look at me like that, you damned green monster. I'm Red Tank, you've picked the wrong person!"
Seeing Red Tank provoke him, Hulk raised his fist, just about to smash it down, when he heard Natasha say, "Hulk!"
"Hmph!"
Seeing Natasha stop him, Hulk snorted and then lowered his fist.
"Lynn, I don't think Red Tank is lying!"
Red Tank's intelligence isn't high; even if he were to lie, Natasha and Lynn would be able to tell at a glance.
But now, both Lynn and Natasha were certain that Red Tank was not lying.
Then… why did this Loki ruby suddenly appear in his body?
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first!"
Hearing Red Tank prepare to leave, Tony Starkimmediately blocked his path: "Look at what you've done, killing so many people, and you still want to just walk away?"
"I told you, these people weren't killed by me. I don't have any memory of it at all. Tin Can, if Lynn Hall weren't here, I'd smash you flat!"
After speaking, Red Tank turned his head to look at Lynn.
Because of Polaris, Magneto had once ordered the members of the Brotherhood of Mutants to be polite when they saw Lynn.
Red Tank didn't know how other members interpreted that command, but in Red Tank's simple understanding, if it was to be polite, then it was to obey his orders.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Lynn glanced at the shattered corpses on the ground, then said, "Take him back to Cube Prison first!"
At the same time, inside a warehouse at the Manhattanpier in New York.
"It seems your plan didn't succeed!"
Tossing the tablet in his hand onto the ground, the middle-aged man in a suit looked at the guy in front of him and said, "Now you should understand that this isn't over seventy years ago anymore!"
"You're facing not only Steve Rogers, Captain America, but also superheroes like Lynn Hall!"
"Oh, by the way, since the failure of World War II, the HYDRA agents lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. and parts of the United States were eliminated by Lynn Hall and his team."
"So if you still hold the ideas from over seventy years ago, then I think we need to carefully reconsider our cooperation!"
Listening to the man in the suit, Red Skull John Schmidt stared intently at him.
"If this were over seventy years ago, and you dared to speak to me like that, I would have already killed you!"
"Also, don't talk to me with this fake Shadow. The same trick won't fool me twice!"
"Tsk, this is called a holographic projection!"
As his voice fell, the man in the suit flickered and then disappeared.
Then, a projection of a guy with a huge head, sitting on a hovercraft, appeared before Red Skull: "I cannot appear in New York, otherwise Lynn Hall will discover me immediately."
"Don't underestimate his control over New York; he's far more formidable than Alexander Pierce, whom I told you about!"
"Everyone has a weakness!"
Looking at the projection of AIM leader Murdoch, Red Skull John Schmidt's eyes flashed with sinister light: "Even if he is the Director of the New York FBI, or the leader of the Illuminati, as long as I can grasp his weakness, such as his family—"
"Quickly dismiss that foolish idea!"
Before Red Skull could finish speaking, Murdoch immediately said, "Do you think no one has thought of that idea? But do you know what happened to those people? Red Skull, if you want to die, then don't drag me down!"
"Damn it, why couldn't that spatial rift bring over the mature Red Skull, and instead brought you, a guy who hasn't even controlled HYDRA yet and is still full of schemes and tricks!"
After complaining, Murdoch said, "Although my influence is in Eastern Europe, a group called Beyond Technologyin Eastern Europe has been gradually encroaching upon my power recently."
"Although I don't have clear evidence, I know that the person behind this Beyond Technology is Lynn Hall!"
"Damn it, even though AIM split from HYDRA in the early nineties due to ideological differences, now Beyond Technology has set its sights on AIM. What does this indicate? It indicates that Lynn Hall already suspects my connection with HYDRA!"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't let that Beyond Technology deal with us, so in this situation, I don't want to get into trouble!"
"Alright, Schmidt, abandon this foolish idea. Let's continue to execute the original plan!"
Watching Murdoch's holographic projection disappear, John Schmidt toyed with the small ball used to project the image.
"Heh, another guy who ruined his brain with some damn research, he can't even lie!"
After putting away the small ball, John Schmidt took out a palm-sized time controller from his pocket, lost in thought.
At the same time, in Eastern Europe, inside AIM Technology.
After the video call ended, Murdoch controlled his aircraft to turn around, then revealed a fawning smile to Cassandra behind him: "I've done everything as you instructed, you see…"
"Do you know? From the first word you spoke, he already knew you were lying!"
"Ah?"
Hearing Cassandra's words, Murdoch's expression froze.
"But it doesn't matter, after all, he was also lying, so it's just mutual exploitation!"
Seeing that Cassandra wasn't angry, Murdoch finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was about to speak, but then his vision went black, and his consciousness was completely erased!
Looking at Murdoch, who was frozen and unmoving, Cassandra turned to the man in black behind her and said, "From now on, you will take over his body!"
The news of Red Tank's massacre of civilians in Manhattan was widely posted online, and suddenly, the Mutant threat theory once again became prevalent.
In just a few days, protests erupted in New York, Los Angeles, and Washington.
Countless people appealed to the media to withdraw U.S. support for the establishment of a Mutant nation.
Washington!
"Red Tank is a damn idiot! Why did he run into the streets of New York to massacre civilians? Look at these photos and videos online."
"The public already fears and despises Mutants, and now, because of him, the Mutants' situation will become even more difficult!"
Watching Raven, disguised as the President, curse loudly, her companion stepped forward and said, "Raven, we all know Red Tank's mind. Although his IQ is a bit low, he would never do these things without Magneto's orders!"
"I've already contacted Magneto; Red Tank was not instigated by him. For the specific situation, we need to ask Lynn Hall. Red Tank is currently imprisoned in Cube Prison."
"Perhaps Lynn Hall knows the truth about this matter!"
Hearing her companion's words, Raven kneaded her brow and said, "Mutants finally have a chance to establish a nation, and after I, disguised as the President, publicly supported it, the World Security Council also gave their support."
Chapter 130 Two Pictures on the Prophecy Slate
"So, no matter what, we cannot let anything hinder the establishment of the nation."
"Don't those people like to protest? If it comes to it, just let the Military and police suppress them!"
Waving her hand to dismiss her companion, Ravenpondered for a few seconds, then took out her private phone and dialed Lynn's number.
New York, Lynn's private training ground, tennis room!
Watching the tennis ball hit the ground in a perfect arc, then bounce out of bounds, Wanda put down her tennis racket and smiled at Lynn, "Lynn, you won again!"
Seeing Wanda sitting on the ground in a short skirt, revealing her beautiful legs, Lynn took out a bottle of Water and handed it to her, smiling, "When I was in college, most of the boys on campus liked rugby and basketball."
"Only I was more interested in table tennis and tennis."
Taking the Water from Lynn's hand, Wanda unscrewed it and took a sip: "I also don't understand what's so interesting about a group of people scrambling for a ball and colliding with each other!"
As the two were talking, Lynn's phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and glanced at it, realizing it was Raven, disguised as the President.
"Then I'll go shower first, I've worked up a sweat!"
Nodding, Lynn watched Wanda leave, then answered the phone.
"Isn't this Mr. President? May I ask what's the matter?"
Hearing Lynn say that, Raven chuckled, "Lynn, the United States is very lively these days!"
"Of course it's lively, isn't it because of you all? One Red Tank made the citizens of New York, Washington, Boston, and other major cities spontaneously take to the streets to protest. Tsk, it seems your Mutant influence is quite significant!"
Facing the sarcasm in Lynn's tone, Raven leaned back in her chair and said, "How about we make a deal, Lynn? You suppress the protests in New York first, and as for the other cities, I'll figure something out."
"Then whatever you want, we Mutants will do our best to satisfy you!"
"Suppress? Heh…"
Hearing the deal Raven proposed, Lynn picked up his Water and took a sip: "Do you know what kind of impact it would have if I, as the Director of the New York FBI, were to suppress the public?"
"And Raven, I don't think there's anything Mutants can do to help me!"
"Power? Money? Or status? I can get all of these on my own!"
"What if it's about the secrets of this World?"
Looking at the data on the computer in front of her, Ravensaid, "We once obtained a prophecy slate. Although we're not sure how many prophecy slates there are in this World, we learned a shocking secret through one of them!"
"If you're willing, Lynn, then after the protest ends, I can tell you this secret."
"Believe me, this is a secret concerning you, and even the safety of all humanity!"
At this point, Raven smiled, "And you don't have to worry about me lying to you. After all, with your strength, if I were to lie to you, you could easily kill us, or even kill most Mutants, couldn't you?"
"I wouldn't be so foolish as to deceive you by risking the safety of Mutants. Also, this prophecy is only known to Erik and me!"
Hearing Raven say that, Lynn thought for a few seconds and said, "Interesting, I'll consider it!"
With that, Lynn hung up the phone.
Prophecy slate.
Some time ago, after the Vampire incident, when Elsa and Blade found him, they also mentioned the prophecy slate.
However, the other prophecy slates in Elsa's possession were very clean and contained no prophecies.
But now, Raven actually told him that she and Magnetohad once obtained a prophecy slate, and it even recorded prophecies about himself and all of humanity.
This was interesting.
After thinking for a few seconds, Lynn sent a message to Chris Bell, then got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Lynn was very curious to know what was recorded on the prophecy slate.
After washing up in the bathroom, Lynn returned to the lounge.
As soon as he entered the lounge, he saw Wanda, wrapped in a bath towel, with her beautiful legs crossed, smiling at him.
Seeing Lynn walk in, Wanda smiled and got up, pulling Lynn to sit on a chair, then picked up a hairdryer and helped Lynn dry his hair.
Although the whole process seemed premeditated, her unpracticed movements and flushed cheeks betrayed her.
As her hair dried, the bath towel wrapped around Wanda"accidentally" fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Lynn got up and directly princess-carried her onto the bed: "You're quite bold!"
Looking at Lynn pressing down on her, Wanda, at this moment, no longer had her earlier shyness, but instead craned her neck and looked at Lynn, saying, "I'm not like Lorna, who clearly likes someone but doesn't dare to act on it."
"Don't forget, ever since Pietro and I lost our parents at the age of ten, whatever we wanted, we had to actively strive for it, even fight for it, otherwise we would have starved to death long ago!"
Saying that, Wanda raised her head and directly kissed Lynn.
A few minutes later, accompanied by a scream, Lynn's system notification sound also rang in his ear.
[Wanda Django Maximoff's Affection: 8, gained 10,000 experience points.]
Well, Wanda's Chaos Magic and Jean Grey's Phoenix Force are among the three ancient powers of the Universe, so it goes without saying.
But Lynn had no mind to think about these things right now.
After all, what true Master would think about the system in such a situation?
The next morning.
"Awake?"
Lynn asked with a smile, watching Wanda slowly open her eyes.
Stretching her arms out from under the covers, Wandastretched, then lazily rested her head on Lynn's chest.
"Hehe…"
Perhaps thinking of what happened yesterday, Wandachuckled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at Lorna. If she were a bit bolder, she probably would have devoured you already!"
Saying that, Wanda sat up from the bed.
Seeing the blanket slip from her body, revealing her fair skin, Lynn also got up and said, "Since you're awake, go wash up. After breakfast, come back to the Bureau with me!"
"Carry me."
Stretching out her two fair arms, Wanda whined to Lynn.
Looking at Wanda whining to him, Lynn bent down and picked her up, glancing at a fresh red stain on the bedsheet, then carried her into the bathroom.
After breakfast, the two headed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation building.
As soon as they entered the office, Barbara handed some documents to Lynn: "Boss, these are all documents from the Department of Justice. Due to the successive protests in various cities, Headquarters has requested that FBI offices in each city heighten their vigilance to prevent anyone from deliberately creating terrorist attacks."
"If necessary, the police and Secret Service in various cities can…"
Before Barbara could finish, Lynn waved his hand, interrupting her: "Let Sean handle this. Ever since he was promoted to supervisor, that guy complains to me every day about being idle. Since he can't sit still, let him take people to patrol the streets, and have the undercover agents cooperate with him."
"Yes!"
Hearing Lynn's order, Barbara nodded: "Oh, Boss, the number of protesters on the streets was very large yesterday, but today it suddenly decreased by more than half. Even some radical civilian organizations have withdrawn from the protests. I suspect it might be some force secretly at work. Should we investigate?"
Facing Barbara's inquiry, Lynn signed the documents while saying, "Don't worry about it. Our duty is to ensure New York doesn't fall into chaos!"
"Also, postpone the TV interview. At this time, it's better to have one less thing to deal with!"
"Understood!"
Nodding, Barbara glanced at Wanda, then smiled and turned to leave.
Seeing Barbara leave to convey Lynn's orders, Wandacuriously asked, "Why did she look at me before she left?"
"She probably realized you've transitioned from a girl to a woman!"
Hearing Lynn's words, Wanda blinked, then said, "If I had known, Pietro and I should have followed you back to New York the year I met you at 16. Otherwise, we wouldn't have wasted so many years!"
Lynn looked up at the somewhat emotional Wanda, then smiled and continued to sign documents.
Inside the Illuminati Base.
"What's wrong? So listless?"
Tony and Ultron, who had come downstairs and were chatting idly, walked over to Steve, who was standing in front of the easel, frowning and looking dispirited.
When Tony Stark saw the blank drawing on the easel, he said, "Lost your inspiration? I remember that monkey you drew riding a unicycle and holding an umbrella was pretty good."
Saying that, Tony bent down and picked up a piece of paper from the floor.
Looking at the portrait of Peggy on the paper, Tony Starksaid, "Isn't this drawn very well? Why aren't you satisfied?"
"No soul!"
Putting down the pen in his hand, Steve shook his head: "I keep dreaming of Peggy lately, and every time I draw her portrait, I feel like it's missing a touch of soul."
Saying that, Steve took out a photo of Peggy when she was young from his pocket.
Seeing Steve like this, Tony said, "I have videos of Aunt Peggy when she was young. Haven't I already sent them to you?"
Seeing Steve remain silent, Tony was about to say something else, but Ultron interjected, "I can feel the very complex emotions in your heart. Human emotions are truly strange. I once tried to use network neurons to experience human emotions."
"But I found that the experienced emotions are very different from true emotions."
"So, I've been considering what method I can use to possess human emotions!"
Hearing Ultron's words, Tony shrugged, "Then go fall in love. But first, you have to solve your height problem. Wow, a Vibranium body over three meters tall. I don't know what Dr. Doom and Cassandra were thinking!"
"That's because Cassandra has seen my Multiverse self, so she thinks height… But I don't think this is the time to discuss that."
Halfway through his sentence, after sensing a hint of frustration rising in Steve Rogers' heart, Ultron spread his hands and said, "Let's solve Steve's problem first."
"How do we solve it? Unless we can build a Time Machine to send Steve back to the past, so he can see Aunt Peggy when she was young again!"
"Time Machine!"
Ultron pondered for a few seconds with his arms crossed, then said, "When Dr. Doom created me, I saw the concept of creating a Time Machine in his private network."
"Theoretically, I have an 80% chance of building a Time Machine. Of course, if I had Pym Particles or the original blueprints for a Time Variance Authority machine, the success rate would be even higher."
"You can really create a Time Machine?"
Hearing Ultron say that, Tony Stark immediately asked in surprise.
Seeing Ultron nod, Tony immediately looked at Steve: "Buddy, maybe we really can get you back..."
Before Tony could finish, Friday's voice rang out: "CaptainRogers, there's a Mutant outside the Base. He claims he was sent by Magneto to deliver something to Mr. Hall!"
Hearing Friday say that, Steve and Tony exchanged glances, then walked towards the outside of the Base.
Watching them leave, Ultron picked up Peggy's sketch drawn by Steve and looked at it for a few seconds: "The complex emotions of humans are truly fascinating to robots!"
As his voice fell, the Mind Stone on top of Ultron's head glowed.
The next second, Ultron's massive, three-meter-tall body began to shrink, finally settling at around 1.8 meters.
And the Vibranium on his body also transformed into "flesh and blood." From a distance, at this moment, Ultron, aside from the Mind Stone on his head, was almost indistinguishable from a real human!
Outside the Base.
"Magneto asked me to give this to Mr. Hall!"
Looking at Steve and Tony Stark in front of him, the Mutant handed the box to them.
"What is this thing?"
"I'm not sure. I'm just responsible for delivering it. As for the rest, Magneto said Mr. Hall would understand once he saw what was inside the box!"
With that, the Mutant vanished directly in front of them!
Watching the Mutant disappear, Tony looked at the box and asked Steve, "This isn't going to contain something dangerous, like a time bomb, is it?"
Hearing Tony say that, Steve had Friday scan it.
After discovering it was a slab-shaped object inside, Tonyplaced the box on the table: "Magneto actually gave it to Lynn... Ultron?"
Looking at Ultron, who had shrunk to a normal human height, with a body almost identical to a normal human.
Tony Stark said somewhat surprised, "You're not seriously thinking of falling in love, are you? What I just told you was just a joke."
Looking at Tony and Steve's surprised expressions, Ultronsurveyed his body, then said with great satisfaction, "I just want to experience it from a human perspective."
"I have to say, being 'human' feels great. Perhaps I should go to a coffee shop now and listen to what those humans are talking about while drinking coffee!"
With that, Ultron nodded to the two of them, then left the Base.
Watching Ultron leave, Steve shook his head at Tony: "Lynn was worried you'd lead Ultron astray after bringing him back. Now it seems he was right!"
Hearing Steve say that, Tony shrugged: "I was just joking. I didn't expect him to take it seriously."
"But this is good too. Seeing the World from a human perspective is better than him wanting to destroy the World, right!"
With that, Tony Stark said, "Friday, send a message to Lynn, tell him Magneto sent him a gift!"
"Yes, sir. Message sent."
Half an hour later, inside the Illuminati Base.
"This might be a good thing!"
Listening to the two talk about Ultron, Lynn opened the box Magneto sent him, saying, "I'll have someone keep an eye on Ultron at all times. Plus, with Professor X, he'll be fine!"
As the box opened, a stone slab appeared before the three of them.
Engraved on this square stone slab were two images. The first image showed a person looking up at the sky, with energy shooting from his eyes.
And in the sky, a massive red eye was looking down at the person below.
"Huh?"
Seeing this image, Gwen, who had just returned from outside and was leaning next to Lynn, said with some surprise, "Isn't that you in this picture? Although Scott's eyes can also release energy, the person in the picture, whether from their clothing, appearance, or face shape, looks exactly like you!"
"But what is this stone slab? Why would it have a picture of you fighting an evil eyeball?"
Seeing Gwen's curious expression, Lynn said, "This is a Prophecy Slab. Magneto obtained it by accident. The slab can predict future events!"
Looking at the slab, at himself releasing Heat Vision to attack the blood-red, evil-energy-emitting eyeball in the sky, Lynn immediately thought of Loki Setorak.
When he dug that ruby out of Red Tank's heart, Setorak's gaze had pierced through the Crimson Universe and stared at him.
Even across the reality dimension at that time, his Spider-Sense had begun to wildly warn him.
He had thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect this petty Loki to remember him.
Through this image, Lynn knew that in the future, he might have a fierce battle to fight with this Loki!
Shifting his gaze to the second image on the slab, he saw a large hand reaching out from inside a Planet, then crushing that Planet.
Seeing the second image, Steve frowned and said, "Is this Planet, crushed by a hand, our Earth?"
"It's possible!"
As Steve's voice fell, Tony also said with a solemn expression, "Since the Prophecy Slab can predict future events, it proves that we will encounter a very powerful enemy in the future. If we can't defeat him, then Earth will be crushed by him!"
"I think that's the real reason Magneto sent the slab over. He wants to warn us!"
"My God, what kind of enemy can crush Earth with one hand? It feels unimaginable!"
Gwen, who was listening to Tony and Steve's conversation, looked at Lynn and said.
Seeing that Lynn didn't speak, Gwen, who had grown up with him, understood that he must know something.
"Lynn, you know who the Master of this giant hand is, right?"
Hearing Gwen say that, Steve and Tony simultaneously looked at Lynn.
"I do know some things!"
Looking at their curious gazes, Lynn briefly told them what he knew.
After Lynn finished his narration, Tony Stark asked with some disbelief, "So, our Earth is actually the nourishment for that so-called God? FUXX, how the hell is that possible?"
Tony Stark found it hard to believe, and Steve also felt somewhat shocked: "When the number of humans on Earth reaches a certain amount, that God will 'hatch,' completely destroying Earth?"
"Lynn, I don't doubt what you're saying at all, but how do you know?"
Facing Steve's question, Lynn looked at the Prophecy Slab in front of him and said, "I know many things, but I can't tell you how I know them."
Before he could finish speaking, the Prophecy Slab in front of him suddenly released a surge of energy.
This immense energy instantly enveloped the Illuminati Base.
The sudden energy burst startled everyone in the Base, and Friday even let out a piercing alarm.
But neither Lynn's nor Gwen's Spider-Sense gave any warning, which meant this energy wasn't dangerous.
"Friday, disengage alarm!"
As Lynn's command was given, Friday immediately shut down all alarms.
The Prophecy Slab, located in the middle of the energy, instantly turned into a pile of dust, and the energy slowly disappeared.
As the energy vanished, Tony removed his armor, then spread his hands and said, "I thought this was Magneto's conspiracy, wanting to use the energy released by the Prophecy Slab to attack us and destroy the Illuminati."
"Lynn, since that God wants to use our Earth as his nourishment, do we have any way to eliminate him before he fully forms?"
Hearing Tony's question, Lynn shook his head: "I'm not sure yet. I've already had people search for the whereabouts of the Eternal members based on the intelligence. Perhaps once we find them, we'll have new discoveries!"
"Alright, then I'll wait for your news!"
Saying that, Tony, wearing his armor, walked towards the laboratory and said, "I'm going to upgrade my new armor. Steve, keep an eye on Ultron's whereabouts, don't lose our Iron Giant!"
With that, Tony directly entered the laboratory.
Watching Tony enter the laboratory, Steve said to Lynn, "I've always been curious, can robots drink coffee?"
Before Lynn could answer, a portal opened the next second.
Stephen Strange appeared before Lynn and the others with a solemn expression!
Half a month later, outside a port warehouse in New York.
"Friday, are you sure it's here?"
Looking at the red dot on the display of his watch, Steveasked, gripping his shield.
"Yes, Captain Rogers. After detection, the energy source that suddenly erupted at the port this morning is this factory in front of us."
After receiving Friday's affirmative answer, Stevegestured a tactical signal to Natasha.
Natasha, seeing the tactical signal, nodded, then circled around to the back of the factory.
Inside the factory.
Looking at Red Skull in front of him, a burly man holding a submachine gun said, "Mr. Schmidt, you might not understand how terrifying Lynn Hall's control over New York is."
"One hundred and thirty of us came from Eastern Europeto the United States through various channels, and nothing happened throughout the entire process."
"But as soon as we entered New York, we were discovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and they even set up a trap for us to fall into. Over a hundred people were captured by them without any effort at all!"
"I even suspect that Lynn Hall has moles within those organizations that specialize in helping people smuggle into New York, otherwise we wouldn't have suffered such huge losses!"
Chapter 131 Steve and Peggy meet again
Listening to the big man's complaints, John Schmidt snorted, "That's your stupidity. If Lynn Hall is really as powerful as you say, then why hasn't he found me yet?"
No sooner had John Schmidt's voice fallen than Lynn Hall's voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "That's because I want to know what your true purpose is!"
Hearing Lynn Hall's voice, the big man who had just been complaining to Red Skull immediately turned around and looked behind him.
He saw that the subordinates who had been following him had now all raised their hands and pressed their faces.
Then, electronic masks were peeled off their faces.
As the electronic masks were removed, the big man was horrified to discover that his subordinates had, at some unknown point, all turned into FBI Agents, and even Lynn Hall was among them.
Seeing this, the big man was about to raise his submachine gun, but in the next second, he was directly riddled with bullets by the FBI Agent.
Seeing the big man's tragic death, John Schmidt looked at his corpse with disdain, then asked Lynn, "You are Lynn Hall? Heh, ever since I came to this era, I've heard many people mention you."
"They always say how powerful you are and how strong your control over New York is. Now I can say I agree with them!"
"However, when did you discover me?"
"Three days after the Red Tank incident!"
Looking at John Schmidt in front of him, Lynn stepped forward and said, "At first, I thought the space-time rift only brought Laurent and the other two from over seventy years ago to the present, but I didn't expect that you were also brought to this era!"
As he spoke, Lynn lightly snapped his fingers, and in the next second, the several scientific researchers who had been squatting on the ground in fear instantly stood up, each pulling out a pistol and aiming it at Red Skull's head.
Seeing the actions of the scientific researchers behind him, Red Skull was slightly surprised: "They are also sent by you?"
"Of course, I have always been curious about your purpose in extensively recruiting scientific researchers and purchasing various precision instruments."
"So I sent people from the FBI Science Department to investigate. It can be said that from the moment you recruited your first physicist, your every move was under my surveillance!"
"What I didn't expect, however, was that you were actually building a time machine!"
As Lynn was speaking, Steve, who had been lurking outside, also walked out: "Lynn, I didn't expect this place to have already been taken by Red Skull?"
The moment Steve saw John Schmidt's face, he instinctively gripped his shield tighter.
"Captain America Steve Rogers!"
Upon seeing Captain America, John Schmidt's eyes instantly filled with sharpness.
Although in his era, his final battle with Steve Rogers had not yet occurred.
But he now knew how he had failed back then!
"Tsk, 'old acquaintances' from over seventy years ago meeting again, and it's actually this calm?"
Swinging down on a rope from the top of the warehouse, Natasha landed next to Lynn and shrugged: "I thought they would fight as soon as they met!"
"Fight? Heh…"
Hearing Natasha's teasing, John Schmidt extended his hand and slowly peeled off the human skin mask on his face.
Watching Red Skull reveal his Red Skull, Natasha clicked her tongue in disdain.
After Red Skull threw the human skin mask to the ground, he looked at the people present and said, "This is your territory, I wouldn't set up a gladiatorial arena here."
"Lynn Hall, I admit that your control over New York has exceeded my imagination, but there's one thing you might not know: these aren't the only time machines I had them build!"
As soon as his voice fell, a white light flashed throughout the warehouse, and a time vortex appeared beneath Red Skull, Natasha, and Steve, sucking the three of them in.
Seeing this, Lynn instantly grabbed Steve and Natasha, then tried to use teleportation to take the two out.
But the powerful suction pulled Lynn into the time vortex as well.
As the light disappeared, Red Skull, Lynn Hall, Natasha, and Steve vanished from the warehouse, leaving only Sean and the others behind.
Seeing everything around them return to normal, Lynn's disappearance did not make Sean and the others anxious.
Taking out his phone and dialing Tony Stark's number, Sean said, "Mr. Stark, the boss and Captain Rogers have been taken away by the time machine."
"You can proceed with the plan!"
Hearing Sean's words on the other end of the phone, Tony Stark hung up and turned to Dr. Banner, saying, "The plan can begin!"
"I don't know if Lynn and the others went to the future or back to the past. If they went back to the past, I hope Steve won't stay there because he misses Aunt Peggy!"
Hearing Tony say this, Dr. Banner shrugged, then pressed the button on the machine in front of him.
September 1941, outside Camp Lehigh, Virginia.
Looking at the military camp ahead, Steve's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia: "After I enlisted back then, I was assigned here for training. I never thought I would return here one day."
"By the way, Lynn, Red Skull shouldn't have noticed anything, right?"
"Probably not!"
Facing Steve's question, before Lynn could speak, Natasha interjected, "I hope Tony is reliable this time. I don't want to stay in the past, and I don't want the future Stephen Strange saw using the Time Stone to happen!"
Half a month ago, when Lynn and the others were studying the prophecy tablet, Stephen Strange came to their door.
According to him, the reason for the appearance of the space-time rifts was that after the Time Variance Authority of this Universe was destroyed, people from other multiverse Time Variance Authorities entered this Universe, leading to the birth of new branches in the timeline.
Although the Illuminati had resolved the space-time rift issues on the current timeline.
However, Red Skull's timeline, due to him being teleported away by the space-time rift, gave birth to a new time rift.
If this time rift could not be completely resolved, then history would undergo drastic changes, which would absolutely affect the timeline Lynn and the others were in.
Originally, this should have been the Time Variance Authority's mission, but the Time Variance Authority had already been destroyed by Cassandra.
So, if they didn't want to wake up to drastic changes around them,
Then the Illuminati had best go back to the past and completely resolve the matter, and they must also ensure they return to the same timeline as Red Skull!
This was also why Lynn and the others were taken away by the time machine with Red Skull.
Otherwise, with Lynn's strength, how could he possibly be unable to save Steve and Natasha?
Looking at the red dots displayed on the time rift detector made by Ultron and Tony on his wrist, Lynn said to the two, "There are three time rifts in total. One of them is inside the military camp in front of us."
"However, the fluctuation frequency of this space-time rift is not large compared to the other rift, so there shouldn't be any monsters as Strange said. The only one with a relatively large fluctuation, according to the coordinates, should be in Poland."
"Let's deal with these two first!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Steve looked up at the night sky, then said, "I'll get three military uniforms. That way, it'll be easier for us to blend in!"
With that, Steve ran off into the night.
Ten minutes later, inside the military camp.
Following the coordinates of the red dots on the detector, the three quickly located the space-time rift.
"That warehouse ahead is the equipment camp. The new recruits' weapons and equipment are all stored there. I remember the key is in…"
"No need for a key!"
Taking a bobby pin from her body, Natasha shrugged: "Lynn and I are professionals at this!"
As she was speaking, a woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Stop, where are you three from? There are only five majors in the camp, how come I don't know about you three?"
Hearing the voice from behind, the three turned around and found Peggy Carter with one hand on her gun, looking at the three warily.
It seemed that if Lynn and the other two didn't answer correctly, she would open fire the next second!
Hearing Peggy Carter's words, Lynn and Natasha both turned to look at Steve with a hint of exasperation.
This guy was definitely doing it on purpose!
Steve didn't pay attention to Lynn and Natasha's gazes, but instead looked at Peggy Carter in front of him with affectionate eyes.
"Peggy…"
Seeing Steve involuntarily call out Peggy's name, Natasha and Lynn exchanged glances, then simultaneously took a step back.
Well, now's not the time to disturb them as they catch up!
"Who are you? Why do you know me?"
Despite Steve's emotional voice and gaze, Peggy Carter's hand on her gun did not loosen.
"I..."
Looking at Peggy with complex emotions, Steve opened his mouth several times, but the words died on his lips.
Seeing this, Lynn stepped forward and said to Peggy, "Ms. Carter, we are indeed not from this military camp. We are here on a secret mission!"
As he spoke, Lynn raised his hand and showed off the Stark Industries logo on his wrist.
"You were sent by Howard? What is your purpose?"
Looking at the gleaming Stark Industries logo on Lynn's wrist, and the technology she had never seen before, Peggy said this, but her hand never left her gun.
"You can ask him about the specifics!"
Pushing Steve, Lynn said, "We still have things to deal with. He's all yours!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn teleported and disappeared from the spot.
The moment Lynn disappeared, Peggy Carter's pupils contracted.
She was now somewhat certain that these three people had no ill intentions towards her. Otherwise, with the abilities Lynn had just displayed, she would never be able to resist.
Thinking of this, Peggy's gaze swept past Steve, whose eyes were filled with deep affection, and landed on Natasha.
"I don't have that trick, and besides, I don't want to be the third wheel Lynn mentioned!"
After speaking, Natasha turned and ran towards the equipment camp.
Outside the equipment camp.
"Click!"
Easily opening the lock in front of them, Lynn and Natasha, who had just run over, entered the equipment camp and began searching for the space-time rift.
According to the display on the detector, the two quickly found the space-time rift, only palm-sized and very dim, in a corner of the equipment camp.
Looking at this space-time rift, Lynn squatted down, took out a metal ball, and threw it in.
After the space-time rift swallowed the metal ball, it began to slowly contract, finally disappearing in front of the two.
On the detector, only two of the three red dots remained.
"You deliberately created an opportunity for Steve to meet her, didn't you?"
Looking at Lynn, Natasha said, "Otherwise, with your abilities, it shouldn't be this troublesome!"
"As friends, we help when we can, especially since we saw him standing in front of the drawing board all morning."
As he spoke, Lynn stood up and said, "And Stephen said that we must wait for that monster to emerge from the space-time rift, which will take a week. Then we kill it and bring the body back, so the largest space-time rift cannot be closed for now."
"Although I don't know what Stephen wants with that monster's body, since time is not pressing, I'll go deal with the other space-time rift. We'll meet tomorrow noon at the restaurant Steve mentioned, fifty kilometers away!"
"Okay!"
Nodding, Natasha watched Lynn disappear in front of her again, then stood up and walked outside.
At the same time, within Poland.
"A miracle, Mr. Schmidt, this is a miracle!"
Looking at a long tentacle continuously extending and retracting from the time rift in front of him, Dr. Zola said excitedly, pushing up his glasses.
Listening to Dr. Zola's excited tone, John Schmidt said coldly, "In the future, I have seen many more 'miracles' you speak of."
"Zola, have the soldiers guard the perimeter. Once the monster emerges from the space-time rift, capture it for research."
As he spoke, Red Skull turned to look at his adjutant, who quickly handed over the three portraits he had just described.
Taking the portraits and glancing at them, Red Skull said, "Well done. Those three people returned with me. Although I don't know where they are currently, they should be near the space-time rift."
"Have all soldiers search for the whereabouts of these three people. Once found, eliminate the other two directly, except for Lynn Hall!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Red Skull's words, the adjutant immediately took the portraits and ran outside.
The next morning, at the agreed-upon restaurant.
Seeing Natasha and Steve walk in, Lynn waved to them, "Lunch is ready for you. After we eat, we'll head to Poland."
Hearing Lynn say this, Natasha sat across from him and pointed at a fighter jet outside the window, "Where did you get that fighter jet?"
"I have my ways, of course."
Picking up a glass of juice and taking a sip, Lynn smiled, "The three of us appeared near these two space-time rifts, while Red Skull should have appeared near the largest space-time rift, which is the one in Poland."
"Plus, since Poland has been occupied by Germany since September 1939, it's highly likely that we'll encounter a large number of HYDRA soldiers once we enter Poland!"
At this point, Lynn looked at Steve and suddenly asked, "Was your chat with Ms. Peggy pleasant last night?"
Facing Lynn's question, Steve took a deep breath. Although he said nothing, his mental state was noticeably much better.
After lunch, Lynn piloted the fighter jet towards Poland.
As soon as the fighter jet entered Poland, several fighter jets flew towards them.
"Is the radar detection system of this era also this powerful?"
Seeing fighter jets appear ahead, Natasha couldn't help but complain.
Hearing Natasha's complaint, Steve said, "Ever since Britain detected German fighter jets using radar systems in 1940, Germany also began to prioritize radar, and HYDRA's technology is more advanced than regular armies, so this is normal!"
Handing the fighter jet's controls to Natasha, Lynnopened the hatch and said, "I'll go take them out!"
With that, Lynn's figure disappeared directly from their sight.
Before long, watching fighter jet after fighter jet burn and fall from the sky, Natasha smiled at Steve, "Executing missions with Lynn always makes one feel at ease."
Half an hour later, in a quiet street in Warsaw.
Looking at the corpses strewn across the ground, eliminated by Lynn, Steve, holding his shield, said to Lynn, "It seems HYDRA has a strong grip on Warsaw. We were discovered as soon as we arrived here!"
Handing two electronic masks to Steve and Natasha, Lynn said, "The space-time rift is inside the HYDRA Basea few kilometers away. There are still over five days left until the one week Stephen mentioned, so we'll just wait these few days!"
With that, Lynn surveyed his surroundings, then set his sights on an empty apartment building.
Five days later, inside the HYDRA Base.
Watching the twenty-meter-tall giant octopus continuously emerge from the space-time rift in front of him, Dr. Zola excitedly said to Red Skull, "It's finally coming out! Once we control this octopus monster, we can extract its genes for research."
"Perhaps we'll be able to mass-produce'Super Soldiers'! At that time, the World will be under HYDRA's control!"
Looking at the excited Dr. Zola, Red Skull snorted coldly.
From the moment the octopus monster's first tentacle emerged from the space-time rift until now, a full seven days had passed, and Dr. Zola had tried every possible method but had not obtained even a single tube of the octopus monster's blood; he couldn't even pierce its skin.
Under these circumstances, how long would it take to mass-produce Super Soldiers?
"Trust me, Officer, once we control this octopus monster, I will definitely find a way!"
Ignoring Zola's assurances, Red Skull said to his adjutant, "Still no news of Lynn Hall and the other two?"
"Sorry, Officer, I..."
"Bang!"
Before the adjutant could finish explaining, Red Skull shot him in the head, "Useless! They drove a fighter jet into Warsaw, and you still can't find them?"
Red Skull's sudden shot startled Dr. Zola beside him.
Meanwhile, the octopus monster, which was just one tentacle away from emerging from the space-time rift, extended a long tentacle, wrapped it around the corpse, and then brought it to its mouth, filled with sharp teeth, and began to chew.
Chapter 132: A Trap for Lynn
Listening to the sound of bones being crunched, the HYDRA soldiers present were all terrified.
The octopus monster, which had eaten people, clearly sped up as it emerged from the space-time rift.
Seeing this, Red Skull waved his hand, and the next second, the surrounding soldiers all took out various pre-prepared weapons and aimed them at the octopus monster.
Once the octopus monster had fully emerged, the soldiers began to attack.
Countless blue energy projectiles exploded upon hitting the octopus monster's body, and then dozens of tranquilizer darts shot towards the octopus monster's massive eyes.
After being pricked by the tranquilizer darts, the octopus monster seemed to go berserk, its tentacles, each over ten meters long, directly sweeping towards the HYDRAsoldiers.
The HYDRA soldiers hit by the octopus monster's tentacles were thrown against the wall, the immense impact directly smashing them into pulpy messes.
Seeing this, Red Skull decisively pressed the button in his hand.
The next moment, an electric net dozens of meters long fell from above, covering the octopus monster.
"Zzzzt!"
As the powerful Current penetrated the octopus monster's body, its movements gradually slowed down.
Seeing that the Current was effective, Dr. Zola quickly ran to the side and operated the machine, and instantly the power of the electric net increased.
Gradually, enveloped by the electric net, the octopus monster stopped moving, its occasional tentacle twitches proving it was still alive.
Seeing that the octopus monster was controlled, Red Skull was about to order the soldiers to restrain it according to the plan, when the next second, the surrounding soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
Seeing this sudden scene, Red Skull immediately turned his head to look at the three people who were continuously firing.
Only after all the surrounding soldiers were pierced by bullets did these three people stop firing.
"Lynn Hall!!!"
Listening to Red Skull's gritted teeth, the leading HYDRAsoldier shrugged, then took off the electronic mask on his face.
"You still fall for the same trick, tsk, but fortunately you controlled this octopus monster, which saved me trouble!"
Seeing Lynn Hall walk towards the octopus monster, Red Skull angrily charged forward, but was directly blocked by Steve Rogers.
"Your opponent is me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Steve immediately attacked Red Skull.
Coming before the octopus monster, Lynn saw its body occasionally twitching, its huge eyes staring at him, seemingly wanting to swallow him whole.
Lynn didn't hesitate at all, his Heat Vision directly piercing into its eyes and scrambling its brain.
As the Heat Vision pierced the octopus monster's eyes and scrambled its brain, its originally lustrous body instantly turned gray.
After eliminating the octopus monster, Lynn glanced at Red Skull, who was fighting Steve, then instantly appeared beside him and kicked him away.
Before Red Skull could land, Lynn closed in again, grabbing his neck and pressing him against the wall, then taking the Time Controller from him.
Looking at the Time Machine, which had lost its energy, Lynn then placed a restriction in the minds of Red Skulland Dr. Zola.
After doing all this, Lynn then threw a metal ball into the space-time rift.
As the space-time rift gradually shrank, Lynn came before the huge octopus monster, grabbed one of its tentacles, and said to Steve and Natasha: "It's time for us to go back!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Steve glanced at Red Skull, who was struggling to get up from the ground.
"Don't even think about it, we can't kill him, otherwise it will affect the course of history!"
Patting Steve's shoulder, Natasha confirmed that all three red dots on the detector had disappeared, then pressed the button on the detector.
A soft light enveloped Lynn, Steve, and Natasha, and the next moment the three of them plus an octopus monster began to disappear.
"Damn bastards!"
Supporting his body, Red Skull took out his pistol, wanting to shoot, but before he could pull the trigger, the three of them and the monster disappeared from his sight.
Inside the Illuminati Base.
As a White light appeared in the hall, the next second, the three people and the monster appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Oh, my God!"
Looking at the huge octopus monster Lynn brought back, Peter Parker exclaimed in surprise: "Lynn, why is this monster so big? My goodness, if we were to barbecue it, I'm afraid all of us Illuminati members wouldn't be able to finish it!"
"Don't even think about it, kid, this isn't for your barbecue!"
Strange, who was nearby, saw Lynn bring the octopus monster back, walked forward, said thank you, and then used his magic to move the octopus monster away.
"Strange, you still haven't told us what you plan to do with the octopus monster's corpse!"
Facing Natasha's curiosity, Strange said: "My teacher taught me a secret art, so I plan to try it with this octopus monster. If it succeeds, it will be of great help to Earth in the future!"
At this point, Strange nodded to Lynn, then opened a portal and left.
As soon as Strange left, Wanda came to Lynn and handed him a document: "This came from Washington. Barbara said it's very important and asked me to give it to you immediately."
Lynn took the document from Wanda's hand, glanced at it, and then frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Lynn frown, Tony Stark walked forward and asked.
Handing the document to Tony, Lynn looked at everyone and said: "A congressman in Congress has proposed the Superhuman Registration Act. Once this act passes, whether it's Avengers or Illuminati members, they will all have to register."
"And it's not just us who have to register; even the Inhumans whose abilities awakened due to the Terrigen Mist will have to register and be subject to supervision at all times."
"If this act passes, it will be tantamount to putting a yoke around our necks!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Steve frowned and said: "I know about this Superhuman Registration Act. Hill mentioned it to me after she became S.H.I.E.L.D. Director. She said this act was originally only aimed at the Avengers."
"After all, the Illuminati was founded by you personally, and your identity is the New York FBI Director, so the act wouldn't target Illuminati members."
"What exactly happened this time? Why is even the Illuminati included in this act?"
"I'm not clear yet."
Seeing everyone's gaze turn to him, Lynn said: "It seems I'll have to go to Washington myself to figure this out!"
In the evening, in Washington, at James Duke's home.
Waving his hand, signaling the Nurse could leave.
James Duke picked up the wine bottle and poured Lynn a glass: "Mr. Lynn, your visit this time must be about Congressman Conley Dwyer's proposal, right!"
Facing James Duke's question, Lynn picked up his wine glass and said: "What exactly is going on?"
"I'm still investigating the specific situation, but based on what I currently know, Conley Dwyer has already convinced many congressmen."
Looking at Lynn, James Duke explained: "I've investigated Conley Dwyer's background. He doesn't have any political family behind him, and he was originally just an unimportant figure within the Republican Party!"
"The reason he has risen in recent years is because he betrayed the elephants and joined the donkey party, so I suspect he proposed this act to use it as capital for his future promotion!"
At this point, James Duke took the cigarette Lynn offered him and said: "But the Strange thing is that the Secretary of State is a Republican. Logically, someone like Conley Dwyer, who betrayed the elephants and joined the donkeys, should be ostracized and disliked by the Republican Party."
"Yet, the Secretary of State, the head of the Republican Party, has subtly shown support for this traitor, even expressing interest in the act in front of many congressmen."
"Even many Republicans are baffled by this."
Hearing James Duke say this, Lynn thought for a few seconds: "Could it be that the Secretary of State secretly instructed Conley Dwyer to betray the elephants and join the donkeys, and then after Conley became a congressman, he would propose the act and gain the donkeys' support?"
"Then the Secretary of State would express support as the head of the elephants, ultimately allowing this act to pass smoothly?"
Facing Lynn's speculation, James Duke thought for a few seconds, then shook his head and said: "Probably not. After all, after Conley betrayed the Republican Party, he dragged many important Republican figures down with him."
He even used the power of the donkeys to drive the Republican Party's number three figure, a force from an old political family, out of Washington politics. You should know that this old political family was a staunch supporter of the Secretary of State."
"If they were to suffer such a great loss just for this one act, it would be a net loss for the Secretary of Statehimself and the Republican Party!"
Listening to James Duke's explanation, Lynn leaned back on the sofa and began to ponder.
For some reason, Lynn always felt that there was something Strange about this matter.
His intuition even told Lynn that the introduction of this act was not aimed at the Illuminati and Avengersmembers, but was directly targeting him!
Thinking of this, Lynn looked at James Duke and said, "As the Director of the New York FBI, express your opposition. Then, communicate with the Secretary of Justice and find a way to stop or postpone the act's passage."
"I need to investigate this thoroughly. Perhaps Conley Dwyer has a problem!"
Hearing Lynn's instruction, James Duke nodded, "No problem, I will do my best to prevent this act from passing."
"It just so happens that I also have a lot of 'evidence' on those donkey-like congressmen!"
Attilan, within the Inhumans territory.
"You've seen it. Those humans actually want us Inhumansto sign the Registration Act. Big Brother, we are not criminals. We don't need the oversight and control of those official departments."
"And you should understand what the consequences will be once we Inhumans sign this act. I don't want the Inhumans to become obedient dogs in the hands of the government!"
Looking at Black Bolt, Maximus said furiously.
Facing his brother's agitated tone, Black Bolt did not speak, but turned to look at his wife, Medusa, beside him.
After communicating telepathically, Medusa looked at Maximus and said, "This matter cannot be rushed for now. Not only the Inhumans, but even the Illuminati and the Avengers are being asked to sign the Registration Act."
"So your brother means that we will go to New York to meet with the Illuminati leader, Lynn Hall, and Steve Rogers."
"What's the point of discussing with them?"
Before Medusa could finish speaking, Maximus stood up directly from his chair, "We Inhumans are inherently superior to ordinary humans. Even Mutants are not as good as us. If it weren't for you, Big Brother, stopping me, I would have led the Inhumans to rule the World long ago!"
"Now, it's already a blessing that we haven't conquered them, yet those lowly humans still dare to force us to sign an act? I will absolutely not allow this to happen!"
With that, Maximus angrily kicked over his chair and turned to leave.
Seeing Maximus leave in a rage, Medusa sighed, then said to Black Bolt, "Maximus's mental problems are getting more and more serious."
"My dear, if he were to leave Attilan and cause disaster within the United States, our Inhumans would become even more passive."
Hearing his wife's words, Black Bolt nodded, then communicated with her telepathically.
"Alright, when we leave Attilan for New York, I'll have Carles keep an eye on him."
With that, Medusa held Black Bolt's hand, but her expression was not so good.
The next morning, Washington.
Lynn stood in the shadows, frowning and thinking, watching Conley Dwyer flee in panic after the car accident.
After leaving James Duke's home last night, Lynnimmediately found Congressman Conley Dwyer, wanting to investigate him personally.
As a result, as soon as he saw him, Lynn immediately noticed that he seemed to be a little off.
For some reason, Lynn always felt that Conley Dwyerwas more like a controlled puppet.
Even though he behaved no differently from a normal person.
After using mental control to invade his brain, Lynn found Conley Dwyer's brain to be a mess.
Not only was there no memory, Lynn couldn't even set a prohibition in his brain.
To verify his guess, Lynn arranged this car accident this morning.
As a result, after the out-of-control car on the road crashed into Conley Dwyer's car, the guy, though seemingly "terrified" like an ordinary person, escaped from the car.
But the expression of fear on his face was too stiff!
Thinking of this, Lynn took out his electronic mask and put it on, then stepped forward to Conley Dwyer, who looked like he had "survived a disaster."
"Are you alright, sir? Do you need me to call an ambulance for you?"
While saying this, Lynn released mental control and once again invaded Conley's brain.
"No, I've already called an ambulance, thank you!"
Facing Lynn's kindness, Conley Dwyer raised his trembling hand and waved, then sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Before long, seeing the Police car quickly approaching, Lynn stood up and quietly left.
At close range again, the sense of incongruity on Conley Dwyer was even stronger, and although he pretended to be very afraid, his mind was still a mess, with no useful information.
Seeing the ambulance take Conley Dwyer away, Lynnquietly followed.
Once in the hospital, Lynn managed to get Conley Dwyer's test report from a Nurse.
After a careful look, he found no abnormalities in the report, then changed into a Doctor's disguise, and then, to the surprise of the Police, drew a tube of blood from Conley Dwyer.
Throughout the process, except for two Police officers asking Lynn why he was doing another check, Conley Dwyer was extremely cooperative.
After getting the blood sample, Lynn disappeared from the hospital.
Half an hour later, in a private laboratory.
"Mr. Clark, this blood sample you asked me to analyze is very Strange. The blood in the sample has formed bloodstains, and harmful substances and metabolic products have accumulated. Generally speaking, only the blood of a dead person would become like this."
"But it's very Strange. Generally speaking, after a person dies, 83% of the Water in the blood evaporates, and the remaining 17% of blood cells will rot."
"But the Water in this blood sample did not evaporate, and even—"
"Even what?"
Lynn asked, looking at the Doctor in front of him.
Well, Clark was Lynn's alias while wearing his electronic mask.
"I suspect this is artificial blood, and there are many substances in the blood that I've never seen before!"
Hearing the Doctor's words, Lynn nodded, "Thank you, but I hope you don't tell anyone about this today."
"Please rest assured, I still have that much professional ethics!"
Hearing the Doctor say this, Lynn nodded.
After a flash of light in his eyes, Lynn took the blood sample and turned to leave.
Just after Lynn left, the Doctor immediately turned around, wanting to continue analyzing the recent test results.
But the next second, he forgot what he was supposed to do.
"Oh, right, it's time to feed those little White mice!"
Saying that, the Doctor walked towards the laboratory!
After getting the blood sample, Lynn immediately prepared to arrest Conley Dwyer and expose his identity.
But recalling Conley Dwyer's full cooperation in the hospital, and the subtle expressions on his face.
Lynn paused, then dismissed the idea.
Clearly, this should be a trap. Conley Dwyer deliberately allowed him to take his blood.
If nothing unexpected happened, if he were to take out this test report and spread it, or even say that Conley Dwyer was no longer alive.
Then he would fall into the trap. At that time, Conley Dwyer would definitely demand a blood test to "prove his innocence," and once his blood test was normal, he would certainly turn the tables.
At that time... Heh!
After instantly understanding Conley Dwyer's trap, Lynnput away the sample in his hand.
It seems Conley Dwyer, or even the force behind him, is very smart!
If it were the Illuminati or other Avengers members who came to Washington to investigate, they might have fallen into this trap!
Moreover, this is a critical moment for the Superhuman Registration Act. If Conley were kidnapped or "killed," then those guys in the political arena would definitely throw dirt on the Superheroes.
After all, distorting facts, stirring up trouble, and inciting public opinion are the methods these old foxes in politics are best at.
At that time, it would certainly be unfavorable to the Illuminati and the Avengers.
So in this situation, he not only couldn't touch him, but he also had to protect him from being "killed" by others.
