I'm stronger than you!
This guy covered in wooden thorns must have eaten too much and lost his mind.
How could he say something like that?
To Rogge, those words were like Yamato saying to Hashirama, "My Wood Release is stronger than yours."
No, this guy is far inferior to Yamato.
At least Yamato was a Root-trained Anbu elite ninja, and his wood techniques were proper Wood Release, not some fancy tricks.
"Tell me, what's the deal with your wood?"
At first, he thought S.H.I.E.L.D. had somehow obtained his cells or other biological samples and created a clone of him.
But when Coulson mentioned the Chitauri invaders and the death of the Leviathan, he was certain that S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't created a clone of him.
The wooden thorns that killed the invaders and the Leviathan did indeed grow from his body when he used Impaling Wood Technique.
But those wooden thorns couldn't possibly contain his cells or biological samples; after the ninjutsu was released, they wouldn't even have chakra.
"Tell you what..."
The man was about to say something uncivilized when a sharp pain shot through his hands, the pain of wooden thorns piercing his arms.
"I'll ask, and you'll answer! If you can't, I'll let you experience what they experienced!"
Under Rogge's control, wooden thorns over ten centimeters long grew from the palms of both wooden arms, piercing the man's hands.
For those who don't understand civility, the best way is to let them immediately experience the consequences of incivility.
Cultural education isn't Rogge's preferred method.
He prefers to educate people through physical means.
Just a few times is enough to make them unforgettable.
"It was a S.H.I.E.L.D. experiment! They're the ones who turned me into this!"
After being 'educated' once, the man decisively chose to cooperate.
"Explain in detail!"
However, Rogge wasn't very satisfied with his answer.
So, he made the wooden arms grow thorns over ten centimeters long again from their palms.
"I've had superpowers since I was a kid. I can control the growth of plants. Later, I strangled a few people with vines, and S.H.I.E.L.D. caught me.
I was locked up in a special prison until a few months ago, when they took me out of prison and injected me with a special agent called 'Seed'.
At first, I could only grow plants like grass and vines on my body.
They injected me with different 'Seed' agents several more times, and then I could grow wood from my body.
But this ability is sometimes unstable, so sometimes these wooden thorns will pop out of my body on their own."
The man explained quickly, then looked at the small wooden thorns growing on his hands.
"Your superpower is controlling plant growth, but the energy needed for plant growth doesn't come from nowhere. How do you do it?"
Even when he uses Wood Release, he needs to consume a lot of chakra to control the wood or make it grow.
But the man in front of him doesn't have any special energy in his body.
"Just eating is enough. After they injected me with that so-called 'Seed' agent, my appetite got better and better, and my physical strength improved a lot.
Every time I make wood grow from my body, it consumes some of my stamina. As long as I have stamina, I can continue to grow wood from my body.
Growing wood from the palm of my hand, then inserting the wood into other people's bodies, and finally making these wooden thorns grow out of other people's bodies, that's what they taught me.
But later I watched your videos and realized they were learning from you too.
Let me tell you, those people at S.H.I.E.L.D. are really not good people! I think you should be like me and kill them until the blood flows!
That way, they'll be afraid of you and won't mess with you."
He didn't know if this guy was just naturally talkative or if he thought Rogge wouldn't hurt him anymore, but he started rambling and even giving Rogge advice.
I'm cooperating so much; you can't kill me, right?
And we can barely be considered the same kind, can't we?
"Yeah, S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't good people. But you aren't a good person either."
After saying that, Rogge didn't continue to waste words with the man, and three wooden arms grew thorns at the same time.
When these wooden thorns entered the man's body, they grew out of the man's body again, causing a painful death effect similar to Impaling Wood Technique.
The man never expected Rogge to actually do it, and in such a familiar way.
So, having wooden thorns grow inside your body really hurts!
"You want to take revenge on S.H.I.E.L.D., that's fine, but you shouldn't have attacked the people in the restaurant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rogge and the man disappeared from their seats.
After he used Flying Thunder God to leave, the increasingly clear sound of sirens came from outside the restaurant.
Half an hour after taking the corpse back to that office building, Rogge finally met Nick Fury.
Appearing with him were Captain America Rogers, wearing his uniform and holding his shield, and Hawkeye Barton, carrying his bow.
"Rogge, this time..."
Nick Fury just opened his mouth when Rogge interrupted him.
"You only have one chance, think carefully before you speak!"
Captain America Rogers and Hawkeye Barton didn't know what had happened; they had only received an urgent notification from Nick Fury and then taken a Quinjet to get here.
Hearing Rogge's cold tone at this time, they finally understood why Nick Fury had insisted on them coming together.
"We did plan to replicate your ability to control wood through experiments, I don't deny that!
I issued the experimental order for the research, and I know this violates our original agreement.
So if you want to take action, I can understand.
However, I don't think my order was wrong. We won the Battle of New York, but that was a victory for the Avengers, not a victory for S.H.I.E.L.D.
S.H.I.E.L.D. needs power. Only with power can S.H.I.E.L.D. better protect the world!"
Nick Fury said righteously, not feeling that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions were problematic.
"Hahahahahaha..."
As expected of S.H.I.E.L.D., which takes protecting the world as its responsibility, you're always so righteous!
You never think your actions are wrong; you always feel that the world needs your protection to be safe.
Who the hell do you think you are, really thinking you're peacekeeping justice enforcers!"
Rogge stood up directly and went straight to Nick Fury.
