Marvel's Overlord

Wangshan is a dead horse! This is William's biggest feeling at the moment. .biquge

This strange city is not small if you say it is small, but it is not big if you say it is big. After confirming that the temple was in the center of the city, William and his party immediately headed in that direction, thinking they would arrive soon.

It took them more than four hours to reach their destination, and even William's physical condition felt quite exhausted.

Counting from the starting point when William and others determined the direction, it seems that the distance is indeed not that far. But that is only a straight line distance. The ruins of this foreign city are said to be ruins, but they have been abandoned due to no human activity for a long time. Then some buildings may have been damaged to a certain extent due to some geological activities.

William could easily cross those building debris, but others did not have such ability, so everyone could only walk along the "road" obediently.

And because it was underground, there was almost no light, and it was unknown what the influence was. All the electronic equipment failed, and even the flashlight was in a state of flickering in and out.

William, who had watched the show in his previous life, forgot this small detail and was not fully prepared. Therefore, the dim environment and complex terrain made several people walk in circles for a long time before reaching the temple.

However, all the hard work is worth it.

When Skye confirmed through the obelisk that this was the place, several people sat on the ground in embarrassment without caring about their image. Looking at the cylindrical building in front of them, the panting people glanced at each other, and then they all laughed happily involuntarily.

This kind of smile is the kind of smile that comes from the heart even though the hard work finally pays off. It's like a farmer who has been working hard for most of the year, and when it's harvest season, he looks at the crops in the field, one after another, with the joyful smile of "harvest" on them.

A few people rested for a while, then eagerly stood up and walked into the temple.

The interior of the temple is surprisingly simple, except that there are six unconnected walls in the middle that form a regular hexagon, surrounding a rectangular parallelepiped with stone pillars about half a person tall. The surroundings were dark, but there was a beam of light coming from nowhere that shone on the stone pillar, causing several people to marvel.

William, Skye and Ward walked to the stone pillar, while Whitehall was thrown outside the stone wall. The stone pillar looks very ordinary. If it weren't for the square groove at the top, it would look like an ordinary square pillar.

"This place seems to have been abandoned for a long time. The floor is full of dust, but this pillar is so clean! What are these lines on it?" Ward, who had been observing closely for a while, stretched out his hand to touch the lines on the stone pillar. William quickly touched it. Hold him.

"Don't touch unknown things. Who knows what might happen?!" William shouted, feeling a little speechless: He was still an elite agent, so curious. This kind of person would never survive five minutes in a horror movie!

Ward didn't know what William was thinking, but when he was stopped, he just retracted his hand with some trembling.

"What should we do next?" Skye asked, looking at William.

"See that groove? Just put the obelisk on it." William pointed at the stone pillar.

"Oh." Skye nodded and was about to put the obelisk up, but William quickly stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Skye looked at him confused.

William: "If you don't want me and my two people to turn into stone, you can wait until we get out."

Skye stuck out her tongue and said apologetically, "Ah, sorry!"

"Okay, Ward, you go out first and look at Whitehall." William turned his head and said to Ward.

Ward: "What about you?"

William: "I still have something to explain to Skye that needs attention."

Ward nodded and walked out of the space surrounded by six stone walls.

After watching Ward go out, William turned to look at Skye and said seriously, "Okay, Skye, you must remember what I tell you next."

Skye looked at William with a serious expression and nodded solemnly: "Well, go ahead, I'll remember it!"

Looking at Skye who was facing a formidable enemy, William burst into laughter.

Skye: "?"

William: "Okay, don't be so serious. There won't be any danger in the transformation process. I was joking with you just now. Just remember what I said, there won't be any danger! So, no matter what happens in a while, don't panic. , just remember this."

Skye was a little dumbfounded by Pippiwe, and gave him a gentle hammer. William pretended to dodge, and after a rough fight, William said, "Okay, I'm out too, and the rest is up to you."

After William went out, Skye picked up the obelisk and placed it above the groove. Taking a deep breath, and receiving an encouraging look and cheering gesture from William, she firmly put the obelisk up.

As soon as he put it on, there was a sound of the machine being triggered, and the six surrounding stone walls suddenly moved. After a period of irregular movement, the stone walls were connected together, forming a sealed space.

Then the metal shell on the surface of the obelisk on the stone pillar began to fall off, revealing the Terrigen crystal inside. The crystal seemed to come alive, growing crazily, from a crystal cylinder like a pen to The crystal cluster became like a small sapling.

The crystals were still growing, and they looked endless. Skye was stunned by the sight in front of her. Women have no resistance to crystals and other shiny things, and in addition, this quaint place was performing such a technological thing. There is also a beauty of contrast in this scene.

Skye stared at the Terrigen crystals that were constantly changing and growing on the stone pillars. Being attracted, she gradually forgot the uneasy feeling of being alone in this closed space with a mysterious atmosphere.

Suddenly, the crystal stopped growing, and Skye's heart was in doubt: Are we going to start? Not sure what to expect? Damn it, William didn't even tell me more, leaving me mentally unprepared. While Skye was complaining about William in her heart, the crystal that stopped growing changed again, and a gray mist emitted from the crystal.

Looking at the slightly weird mist, Skye held her breath subconsciously. However, the Terrigen Mist did not enter the human body through the respiratory tract. As soon as the mist came into contact with Skye's body, she found that an inexplicable black substance began to spread rapidly from her fingertips.

"Am I going to be petrified?" Skye started to panic. When she was at a loss, she remembered what William said to her. No matter what happens, don't panic. There will be no danger in the transformation process.

Thinking of this, Skye felt a little calmer, and there was no discomfort in the "petrified" parts, so she was completely relieved.

As the "petrified" area spread rapidly, Skye felt that her thinking became heavier. She had a bad premonition, and she felt relieved again: William lied to me? Will not! But William is not a stranger, and what he said may not be correct! what to do? Am I going to die here?

She tried to struggle, but she couldn't move. Because in this moment of Skye's mental fluctuations, "petrification" was about to spread to her whole body, and now only her head was not "petrified". However, after a while, his head was also wrapped in stone, Skye completely turned into a "stone statue", and the confined space fell silent.

Outside the confined space, when the stone wall closed, Ward was still worried about Skye. After William said it was okay and this was normal, he felt a little relieved. But he still had a heavy expression on his face, and it was obvious that William's words only reassured him a little.

William looked at Ward's heavy expression and felt a little happy, because this showed that Ward's humanity, kindness, and emotions had been slowly awakened. As for Skye, William is sure there won't be any problems, and it will be better.

In the original plot, not only did Little Flower Lena soften the fog a bit, but the Terrigen Crystal was also kicked to pieces by a "good Samaritan". The transformation may not have been complete. Now that the entire crystal belongs to Skye, and the transformation ritual has not been destroyed or interrupted, the upper limit of her abilities should be increased a lot.

Of course, Skye herself may not care about abilities. She just wanted to find her parents and therefore accepted William's suggestion to complete her transformation. She didn't care, but William, an obsessive-compulsive player, felt very comfortable. Of course, this kind of thing should be perfect!

Ward walked around uneasily because he was worried about Skye and was not in the mood to talk. Whitehall also sat obediently against the wall. William was happy and quiet, sitting next to Whitehall and thinking about going to open the dining car after the things here were over. things.

"How do you know this?" Whitehall suddenly asked.

"Huh?" William turned his head and looked at him.

"I mean, how do you know these things about the obelisk and the aliens?"

William stared at him for a moment and said, "Why should I tell you?"

When Whitehall heard what William said, he was not angry. He just turned his head back and returned to his previous sitting state.

Seeing how calm he was, William suddenly felt bored.

The two were silent for a moment, and William asked, "I'm curious, why don't you ask me why I left you here instead of handing you over to SHIELD?" Whitehall turned his head, and William said, "Don't you ask me why I left you here instead of handing you over to SHIELD?" You ask me about something that is directly related to you, but I really don’t understand you."

Whitehall looked at William and said calmly, "I have long been dead. It's just that my lifelong research has not yielded any results, so I am not willing to die. Now there is a possibility of getting the answer I have been pursuing all my life, about my own destiny." , I don’t care too much anymore.”

After hearing his answer, no matter how much William disliked him, he couldn't help but admire him. This kind of person either achieves great things and becomes a famous person in history, or he becomes a madman, and Whitehall is undoubtedly the latter.

So, "I still don't want to tell you. I left you here because I will take you to see someone later. She knows these things better than me. If you want answers, you can ask her. Of course she will be there then." I don’t know if I’m not interested in chatting with you.” William looked at Whitehall and said.

"No chance of getting the answers I want," Whitehall sighed.

With this sigh, the atmosphere fell into silence again.

Because the electronic products were malfunctioning, several people didn't know what time it was, nor how long it had been since Skye's transformation ceremony began. Anyway, after a long period of time, Skye seemed to wake up from a nap. She felt her consciousness return to her body.

Before, she felt that her consciousness had disappeared into nothingness and she could not feel anything, including her own body. She felt panicked, but she could do nothing! Now, this feeling of regaining control of her body told her that William had not lied to her and that nothing had happened to her.

She had forgotten that she was still sealed in the stone statue. She wanted to open her eyes, but found that she couldn't. She wanted to move, but she couldn't.

So she subconsciously struggled hard, and then

"What's wrong? Is there an earthquake?" Ward felt that everything around him began to shake and shake, and he said in panic as he watched the dust fall.
