Everyone, move! Everyone, return to your posts immediately!"
"Listen up, this is not a drill!"
"We are under attack! Repeat! We are under attack!"
In the lower levels of this castle, which served as a HYDRA research facility, a brother and sister were currently confined in an isolation room made of an unknown transparent material, watching in terror as the Nazi Hydra members suddenly fell into disarray.
"Fuck! Who is attacking the research facility? We clearly negotiated terms with that person!"
"We don't know! Baron Strucker! All information about the enemy is unknown! Currently, only four individuals can be identified!"
"Who are they!?"
"Three of them are Level Seven Agent Li Chengfeng, Level Four Agent Ada Wong, and Provisional Agent Harley Quinn from the FBI American General Bureau!"
"The FBI got involved?" Strucker's expression instantly turned grim. "What about the fourth person?"
"The, the fourth person is, is…"
"Why are you stuttering at a time like this!? Don't hesitate, speak up quickly!"
"Yes! The fourth person is Magneto! Magneto, the leader of that crazy violent organization!"
Hearing that name, Strucker's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets and landed on his feet.
Magneto, that monster who can manipulate magnetic fields?
Strucker looked with a pale, dark face at the large screen normally used to display experimental data.
It was now showing the real-time battle situation.
It was a complete one-sided slaughter.
His thousands of organized troops were utterly helpless under the barrage of these people, and their defenses were shattered in no time.
They… how are they so similar to the brother and sister who just had their abilities induced through experimentation?
Could it be!?
Strucker turned back in disbelief, looking at the twins embracing each other to ward off fear.
Could it be that this power was not bestowed by the Asgard scepter?
But rather, it was inherently present within certain individuals?
And the power of the scepter was merely a key to forcibly unlock these powers?
That's right, the scepter. In fact, the event of Loki's invasion of Earth had already occurred in this World.
However, that happened two years before Li Chengfeng transmigrated, and this time Loki chose Metropolis, not far from New York, instead of New York.
Then, the general public learned for the first time what so-called "Superheroes" and what so-called Superman were.
The Chitauri army was even repelled before they could fully emerge from the wormhole, and Loki disappeared after the battle.
And Li Chengfeng and the FBI's judgment had been flawed.
That is, HYDRA, or more precisely, this faction of HYDRA led by Strucker, actually only knew that some people possessed special powers, but did not understand the existence of Mutants as a group.
But now, Strucker should have realized it.
Strucker, after all, was an extremely excellent researcher; his achievements in his professional field were probably not inferior to Bruce Banner and Tony Stark, otherwise he wouldn't have had the intelligence to understand Loki's scepter.
One must know that it was the Mind Stone.
An Infinity Stone… uh, one of the Infinity Stones.
"Everything is wrong, it turns out the research direction was wrong! I originally thought the scepter bestowed them power, but I never imagined that a scepter with such power was merely a key!"
Watching Strucker's emotions fluctuate more and more, the minion beside Strucker quickly lowered his voice and said to him.
"Baron Strucker, it seems the defensive forces are on the verge of collapse, we should retreat."
"Retreat? At a time like this, how can one retreat from a group of people with powerful superpowers?" Baron Strucker forced out an ugly smile, "They came too coincidentally. If they had come a few days later… no, thirty hours later, the protective field created by the scepter's energy would have been completed!"
Immediately after, as if possessed by a chameleon, he instantly put on a fanatical expression completely different from before, loudly encouraging the unsuspecting HYDRA soldiers around him:
"The damned FBI has sent a bunch of clowns in tight suits to test our faith and loyalty! We will never surrender! Hail HYDRA!"
"Hail HYDRA!"
Under Strucker's incitement, the soldiers immediately became agitated, their eyes bloodshot, wishing they could rush onto the battlefield and launch suicidal attacks in rotation.
Strucker nodded with satisfaction at all this, then turned to his trusted minion and said:
"Delete the files, I'm surrendering."
"If the FBI gets our research data, they will turn the data into reality in a short time."
Just as Strucker was inciting the army as bait to buy time, secretly preparing to surrender.
The top floor of the castle suddenly exploded, and one man and two women descended from above in an elevator made of green willpower light.
The arrivals were Li Chengfeng, who had transformed into Green Lantern, as well as Ada Wong and Harley Quinn.
"You're Strucker, right? You bald bastard!"
"I surrender! I am willing to hand over everything here! Just spare my life!"
"Huh?"
Li Chengfeng didn't care what kind of end Strucker would meet.
But this bald man did make him feel quite annoyed.
Is this surrender and begging for mercy too shameless?
Crying and shouting, willing to use all resources in his hands to save his own life.
Li Chengfeng originally didn't plan to kill him directly.
Now he was starting to think about changing his mind.
Couldn't he learn from the spirit of his HYDRA colleagues!?
They were unyielding even unto death!
Shouting "Cut off one head, two more shall take its place" or "Hail HYDRA," while calmly facing their execution, sacrificing themselves heroically.
Anyone who didn't know HYDRA's background would probably think this was a revolutionary organization for the country and the people!
To guess they were Nazis and pyramid schemers, that would be truly seeing a living ghost.
Soon, the X-Men also dealt with the remaining armed forces outside and entered the research facility.
Strucker again put on the same crying and begging act.
But Uncle Wolf, that old reliable, was more dependable, grabbing the bald man by his collar and dragging him out.
After a period of screams, it finally quieted down.
The bald man was probably half-bald by now.
"Raven, has the army been completely cleared?"
"All soldiers have been annihilated, but all internal staff, including researchers, have been kept alive and are in normal mental condition."
Mystique Raven was also an old veteran, similar in age to Uncle Wolf; such a meticulous Mature Woman with blue skin would naturally not be someone who lost her head in battle and disregarded everything.
Stepping onto the battlefield after a long time made her assassin blood boil again, but she always maintained her rationality.
She understood that these researchers were very useful.
Even if the awakening of the x-gene was triggered by the power of Loki's scepter, it had to be based on a certain level of research into the x-gene.
To have researched to this point without understanding the Mutant group is nothing short of miraculous.
If x-gene related knowledge were imparted to them, they might be able to research more controllable ways to awaken abilities.
It might even be possible to research methods to enhance abilities.
It doesn't matter if they are HYDRA.
Currently, the FBI and the FBI Academy are not lacking in telepaths.
Monday, Psylocke; Tuesday, Multiple Man and Cuckoo; Wednesday, White Queen; Thursday, Jean Grey; Friday, Omega Kid; Saturday, Nick Fury (White Egg Yolk - Nickname/Contextual).
Then on Sunday, Nick Fury (White Egg Yolk - Nickname/Contextual) leads a team-building exercise.
Seven days a week, twenty-four hours of high-intensity telepathic brainwashing.
HYDRA?
Even nine hundred HYDRA heads could be brainwashed into having infantile paralysis!
