Chapter 92 I Surrender
Makkari tilted her head and smiled slightly.
She extended her finger, quickly gesturing something.
"Prisoner?"
"No, little boy."
"I am your new teacher."
"And you..."
Makkari's smile turned playful.
"...are my toy."
Pietro's eyes suddenly narrowed!
"You!!"
He roared, his body transforming into a bolt of lightning, and he punched Makkari's face!
However... "Snap."
A soft sound.
Pietro's fist was lightly caught.
It stopped half an inch from Makkari's face.
Pietro's eyes widened.
He... he didn't even see her move!
"Too slow."
Makkari mouthed the words.
Then, she grabbed Pietro's wrist and flung him hard!
"Boom!!!"
Pietro's body once again became a cannonball, smashing heavily into another wall.
"Pfft!"
The bones that had just healed were broken again.
"Brother!!!"
Wanda screamed.
Makkari stood in place, casually shaking her wrist.
She glanced at Pietro with disdain and gestured in sign language.
"Such a fragile toy."
"It seems I'll have to teach you how to take a beating first."
...In the living room.
Leon Odinson was oblivious to their teaching activities.
He calmly sipped his wine.
"What a group of energetic little ones."
A fatherly smile appeared on his face.
With Makkari, the 'King of Competition,' Pietro's potential would be fully exploited.
As for Wanda... her chaos needed the guidance of order.
"Jarvis."
"Sir, I'm here."
"How is Tony's side?"
"Mr. Stark's team has arrived in the Amazon Basin. Coordinates XXXX, YYYY."
Jarvis's holographic projection unfolded before Leon Odinson.
In the image, it was the main view from a fighter jet.
Tony's armor hovered in mid-air.
"Hey! Leon Odinson! Are you sure it's here?"
Tony's voice came through the communicator, a little uncertain.
"I swear, the air here is more organic than in California!"
"My sensors tell me there's nothing here but monkeys and mosquitoes!"
"Oh, wait..."
Tony's view quickly zoomed in.
"I take back what I said. Are there a group of performance artists here?"
Below the fighter jet, in a clearing of the dense rainforest, there was a primitive village.
Hundreds of indigenous people in simple clothing gathered in the center of the village.
They stood motionless.
Like statues with their pause button pressed.
"F*ck!" Tony cursed under his breath.
"This is too bizarre."
Leon Odinson nodded and explained.
"Druig."
"The Eternals's mental controller."
"A self-righteous savior."
"Tony."
"Tell your team to put away their weapons."
"Guns are useless against this kind of autistic patient."
"Then what should we use? Love and peace?" Tony quipped.
"No."
Leon Odinson smiled.
"Politeness."
Leon Odinson slowly stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the Villa.
He was bathed in the Malibu sun.
"Jarvis, take over Tony's loudspeaker system."
"Yes, Sir."
...Amazon Jungle.
"Buzz!"
The loudspeakers of the fighter jet and the armor simultaneously emitted a faint electrical hum.
The next second.
A majestic voice echoed through the rainforest.
"Druig."
"I am Leon Odinson."
"Your new King."
"I've come to invite you to join my team."
The moment the voice fell.
In the center of the village.
A man with long black hair, handsome features, and a melancholic demeanor raised his head!
It was Druig!
He was a bit bewildered, and a bit angry.
"Asgardian?!"
"How dare you step into my sacred place!!"
He roared, and an invisible mental force suddenly erupted!
He wanted to control these tin cans! He wanted them to kill each other!
However... the moment his mental force touched the armors, it was like a mud ox entering the sea.
"What?!"
Druig's face changed.
His mental control failed?!
"Don't waste your energy, Druig."
Leon Odinson's tone was calm.
"Your hypnosis is meaningless to me."
"Like a firefly trying to shake the sun."
"I am the source of Will."
As Leon Odinson spoke.
Inside the Villa.
Leon Odinson's eyes blazed with golden light!
His Will transcended space and descended!
Amazon Jungle.
The sun in the sky suddenly became dazzling!
"Ah!"
In the clearing, the indigenous people controlled by Druig suddenly let out painful groans.
They all knelt on the ground, clutching their heads!
Their minds were being dispelled!
"No!! Stop!!"
Druig roared!
He could feel it!
His people were waking up!
They were breaking free from his control!
"What are you doing?! You'll destroy them!!"
Druig's mental force surged wildly, trying to regain control.
"Destroy them?"
Leon Odinson chuckled.
"No, Druig. I am saving them."
"Look at them. You've cooped them up here, depriving them of their joys and sorrows, depriving them of their humanity."
"You think this is peace?"
"No, this is stagnation."
"This is a cage you created!"
"And I..."
Leon Odinson's voice suddenly turned cold.
"...hate cages the most."
"Boom!!!!!!"
The golden sunlight seemed to transform into a tangible sharp sword!
It fiercely pierced into Druig's spiritual world!
"Pfft!"
Druig was struck hard, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to one knee!
His mental barrier was no match for Leon Odinson's radiant Will!
"Now."
Leon Odinson's voice was like the final judgment.
"You have two choices."
"Kneel and offer your loyalty to your King. You will become the vanguard of my unified Will."
"Second..."
Leon Odinson's voice paused, carrying a hint of a smile.
"Reject me."
"Then, watch with your own eyes as your people tear you to shreds after 'waking up'."
"You..."
Druig looked up.
He looked around.
The indigenous people had already stood up.
They were no longer statues.
Their eyes were no longer empty.
But filled with hatred.
"No... no... don't..."
Druig was stunned.
Everything he built was shattered!
"I... I..."
Druig trembled and lowered his head.
"I submit."
..."F*ck."
Inside the armor, Tony witnessed all of this and couldn't help but curse softly.
"This guy is a devil."
He glanced at the disheartened Druig below.
"Jarvis."
"Yes, Sir."
"Notify Banner and the others to prepare for collection."
"Then..."
Tony glanced at the coordinates on the holographic map.
Chicago, an ordinary engineer family.
"We're going to pick up the next lucky one."
"Faustus, right?"
"I hope this technical craftsman can last a few more seconds than the psychopath."
Tony shook his head and closed the communication.
He felt... being the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director for Leon Odinson... how should he put it... it was too exciting.
