Chapter 192 Target: Mister Sinister

Back to the nameless desolate planet, Ronan's guess was not wrong.

At this time, dozens of the most elite fighters of the Kree Empire collapsed at the feet of Thanos.

A few months ago, when the Mind Stone freed Thanos from the imprisonment of "Eternal Night", it also transmitted part of Thanos' consciousness to Nemesis, the goddess of nemesis.

In that illusion, Thanos, who was destined to become the "Child of Destiny", realized his mission.

As the mother that gave birth to all living beings, the universe seems to have an endless carrying capacity.

But the reality is that the excessive possession and demands of many intelligent races and civilizations are gradually depleting the inherent resources in the universe.

The Titan Star of the Eternal Protoss is the best example.

So Thanos, the Illuminati who has personally experienced the desperation of resource depletion, was given the mission of rebalancing life and resources in the universe by Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance.

But even if he is the executor of the plan in destiny, Thanos still needs to prove to Nemesis that there is no problem with his ability and will before taking on this important mission.

So under the watchful eye of Nemesis, Thanos began to flee for several months.

The Cree, Skrull, Shia, and other cosmic empires who tried to obtain the Infinity Stone all sent hunting teams to snatch the Soul Stone from Thanos.

But obviously, most of them were successfully thrown off by Thanos during the hunt all the way, and many of them were counter-killed by Thanos' design.

Today, a few months later, only the Kerry "Accuser" Legion with the strongest soldiers, the most advanced technology, and the most resolute attitude is left behind Thanos.

And this kind of performance has obviously been approved by Nemesis.

So just now, when Thanos was about to run out of power and was defeated by the Kree accusers, he finally had a trace of authority to use the Infinity Stone after Nemesis nodded.

There is no need to repeat how powerful the Infinity Stones are.

Even if there is only a trace, the so-called elite fighters and number one warriors of the Cree tribe also have no resistance at all when encountering them.

After only three or two breaths, Thanos, who was already ready to kill, successfully wiped out the enemy's consciousness with the Mind Stone, making all the Kree people vegetative in various senses.

Taking a few breaths heavily, Thanos couldn't help showing a smile as he looked at the extremely docile Soul Gem floating in his hands.

Fate is really mysterious.

In the past, Thanos only believed in power in his heart, and he sneered at the mysterious theory of fate.

But now, he truly felt the power of fate.

The special situation of Titan made him understand the preciousness of resources, and his birth as a mutant gave Thanos an eclectic way of thinking, so he was able to come up with cruel and crazy solutions such as randomly exterminating half of life .

Originally, he thought that this road of farewell ideals would inevitably be extremely rough and bumpy.

But as soon as Thanos walked out of Titan, he was accidentally involved in the Battle of Asgard and obtained the Mind Stone from it.

And through the medium of the Mind Gem, he discovered that he and the original will that created this universe have the same pursuit in the goal of maintaining the eternal balance of the universe.

His solution was greatly appreciated by Nemesis.

Everything is like a cog that fits perfectly, without showing any traces, it transports Thanos to the center of the stage and becomes the protagonist of the future story.

Clenching the Mind Gem tightly in his hand, he murmured in a low voice:
"I am the destiny!"

……

……

On Earth, while Thanos sees his way forward, a certain superhero protagonist in the Marvel universe has fallen into unprecedented confusion.

From the underground base of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was established less than a year ago, a voice suddenly came out from the seemingly dark and uninhabited shadows:
"Captain, don't force yourself on the sandbags anymore, we have a new mission!"

Being able to sneak in the darkness so perfectly, the person who came was Fury, and the person he was talking to was Steve who was frantically bombarding sandbags at this time.

"Phew, Fury, it's another mission to secretly capture the Transcendent...Sorry, I refuse to participate...Phew, you can find Baron Sterak, or Murakami's Hand Association, their men are stronger than me It has to be much stronger, huh, huh..."

It is hard to imagine, as the spiritual symbol of all the beautiful words such as loyalty, strength, bravery and dedication in American propaganda.

Captain America would actually refuse an order from the US government.

Hearing Steve's response, Fury's face obviously showed a trace of helplessness. He knew that the other party's dissatisfaction had accumulated to a dangerous critical point.

But after hesitating, Fury finally didn't choose to have a frank exchange with Steve. Instead, he evaded the importance and persuaded:

"The mutants brought by Baron Strucker and the ninjas under Murakami are really good, but they are not trustworthy."

"You know this, I know it, and the one in the White House is also aware of it."

"So Captain, this mission objective is very important, you must lead the team, this is an order!"

The word "command" appeared, and Steve's face, as stiff as an iceberg, finally changed.

But it's not the gentleness that melts everything, but the colder solemnity.

"boom!"

Because of the emotional agitation, the strength in Steve's hand also lost control.

Accompanied by a dull bang, the ravaged sandbag finally couldn't hold on, and was severely blasted open a hole, and countless fine sands flowed down from the hole.

"Since you know that Strack and the Hand are not trustworthy, why did you agree to join and cooperate with them!"

The US team's opening this time has already revealed his inner anger without any concealment.

Hearing Steve's question, Fury wanted to explain.

But before he could utter his words, Steve's next stormy roar blocked his throat.

"Logan suddenly left S.H.I.E.L.D. half a year ago. I wrote to him to ask him what happened, but he didn't respond to me."

"As a result, a few days ago, I actually saw familiar wounds on several injured agents of the medical department, so Fury, can you tell me what's going on?!"

"Three months ago, Namor led his people to attack the S.H.I.E.L.D. station in Antarctica. I thought it was just an accidental friction, but when I wanted to go to Atlantis and try to resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides , was rejected by you again, so what did you hide from me?!"

"You keep saying that Strack and the Hand are not trustworthy, so I am the one you want to believe, King of Agents, Fury!"

After Steve's outburst, the secret room fell into a long silence.

The US team is naturally waiting for Fury's response and explanation.

As for Fury, in the dark, it was difficult to figure out the slightest bit of his true thoughts from the expression changes on his face.

The silence continued in the secret room, and the anger on Steve's face gradually turned into loss and even despair.

It was only a little over two years before the end of the war, and Fury, a comrade who had fought side by side with him and could give his life on the battlefield, was already completely unfamiliar to him.

Especially after the other party assumed the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., many of his actions made it even more difficult for Steve and the other Avengers to understand.

And Fury refused to explain to them, just like today.

So Howard, Logan, and Namor, the Avengers who are the cornerstones of SHIELD, have become estranged from SHIELD one by one, drawing a clear line and even starting to fight each other.

The king of secret agents?
Steve thought bitterly in his heart that maybe the sarcasm in his mouth was actually telling the truth.

Fury is indeed an absolute secrecyist and an absolute skeptic.

Captain America's mood was in a mess, and Fury finally broke the stagnant atmosphere in the secret room at this time:
"Sorry Steve, some things may be clearer in the future."

"Now, if you don't want to trust Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury, then I hope you can help a group of your comrades, Fury, join this mission."

There was another long silence, and Steve's face changed. After a long time, he turned around abruptly and walked out of the secret room, leaving only one sentence here:
"This is my last mission, Fury!"

After the door of the secret room was opened, the light from outside the door finally illuminated Fury's face.

At this time, Fury's expression was not as calm as his voice.

……

……

A few days later, North Africa, Egypt.

Landing on a transport plane in the secret branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., the heavily armed US team led a team of elite agents out from the rear of the cabin.

As soon as Steve appeared, the person in charge of this branch immediately greeted him.

While handing over more detailed mission information to Steve, he briefly introduced the mission objectives.

"Doctor Sinister, born in London in the [-]th century, was ordered to be imprisoned by the British government at the time because of his radical evolution theory."

"After he was released from prison, he had a period of normal life, but it was quickly revealed that it was his disguise."

"In order to prove the correctness of his theory, he, whose real name is Essex, collected a large number of homeless people with congenital deformities on the streets as materials for genetic experiments, and this also allowed him to find the existence of some weak mutants."

The person in charge of the branch said this, took a breath, and then continued:

"After Essex's crimes were discovered, he had to flee the UK and even the entire European continent, and came to the land of North Africa."

"During the decades here, he continued his crazy experiments while keeping his name hidden. Then, when he appeared in front of the world again, this former ordinary person possessed super strength and almost immortality. life."

After listening to the person in charge's introduction, combined with the information in his hand, Steve immediately discovered some blind spots:

"Are you sure that this super criminal named Mister Sinister's super power was activated through his own experimental research?"

Steve's reaffirmation makes sense.

Because according to intelligence records, Mister Sinister's combat ability has reached the level of the strongest Avenger, Namor.

If they weren't carrying a large number of high-tech weapons sponsored by Howard Industries this time, the success rate of the mission might be less than 50%.

Therefore, if such a powerful Mister Sinister really became stronger by relying on his own research results, then the other party is likely to be a genius scientist not inferior to Howard.

This conclusion will of course surprise Captain America.

But thinking of Fury repeatedly asking himself to lead the team in order to capture Mr. Sinister, Steve felt a little relieved.

If it wasn't for the fact that the mission goals were valuable enough, Fury, who was gradually estranged from himself, might not pull his face down and beg himself.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Steve's mind, and it was obvious that he could not accept Fury's indifference.

Naturally, the person in charge of the branch didn't know that Captain America was thinking about some far-fetched things in his mind.

He was dutifully answering Steve's question:

"I'm sorry Captain, as I said before, there is actually no definite information on what Essex has experienced in the past ten years in North Africa."

"So how did the other party obtain his powerful superpower, we can't give a definite answer."

"call……"

The person in charge's voice drew Steve's attention back to the task, and Captain America felt a little troubled when he heard the other party's reply.

A powerful enemy that lacks information undoubtedly means that accidents may occur at any time during the mission process.

More importantly, I don't know what Fury's considerations are, but this time the mission team does not have a second superpower besides himself.

This raised the difficulty of the mission by several notches.

But this fear of difficulty is only a flash in Steve's heart.

The next moment, he began to ask the head of the branch for more information about Mr. Sinister, hoping to catch the other party's flaws and find an opportunity to complete the mission.

And at the same time that Steve and the others landed at the airport, a team of three-meter-high robots also flew into the airspace of Egypt.

Leading twelve sentinel robots to hunt down the mission target is the twin stars of the Mutant Academy, Magneto and Liquid Boy Raul.

"Mr. Sinister, using mutants as materials to conduct genetic research, and because of this, he has extraordinary abilities."

"Max, the target of this mission doesn't feel like it needs to be captured alive. It's easier to kill it directly!"

It was Raul who said this, of course, because of his status as a mutant, he was arrested by the Hellfire Club, and his father also died because of it.

Therefore, Raul hated all the guys who used mutants as research objects.

But the little Magneto next to him didn't feel the malice from Xiao as in the plot, and his parents were living well at this time.

But his friend was so angry, he also wisely showed a look of sympathy, and cursed at Mister Sinister in the same way.

But when the words were over, he couldn't help reminding Raul again:
"Although that guy is damned, don't forget our rules. All superpowers who are identified as threats and need to be taken away from human society must be judged by the dean before they can be sentenced to various punishments. Before that, they can only be imprisoned. deal with."

"And the dean..."

Raul naturally understood what little Magneto wanted to say. On this topic, the students of the Mutant Academy felt a little uncomfortable when they mentioned it.

"I don't know what Dean Ke Lun is doing, I really hope he will come back to see us soon..."
