Chapter 254 : Attack Ahead

"What?"

Stunned by the movie news on the tablet, Wanda asked Bert, "What's up with this movie?"

"Obviously, don't be so surprised. This is the work of my company, and it was released on Xandar half a year ago."

Bert smiled and said, "The popularity of Blood God is soaring now. I took the opportunity to come to Earth to collect a wave of box office. The quality of 'Battle of Xandar' is very high, and many of them are real war scenes. Maybe it can break the box office record."

"Breaking box office?"

Wanda was speechless. She asked, "Blood God, are you not short of money? You are the richest man in the world. Also, will this cause your identity to leak?"

"Is there a conflict between not being short of money and making money?"

Bert smiled and said, "As for identity disclosure, do you think I need to care about this? I hide my identity just because I want to keep a low profile, not because I can't see the light.

In addition, the release of this movie will not cause much impact. The movie is just a movie after all."

Wanda suddenly realized what she had thought, and complained, "Why are you keeping a low profile? Are you afraid of affecting your ability to pick up girls?"

Bert put his arms around Wanda's waist, changed back to his original face, and said with a smile, "I only have eyes for you now."

Bert was too close, and Wanda could even smell his breath. Her heart was numb, and her face was flushed. When Bert saw this, he was about to do something when he suddenly sensed the situation outside and immediately changed back to Pietro's face.

Immediately afterwards, Baron Strucker opened the door and walked in. When he saw the situation inside, he was shocked and then stepped back and closed the door, saying, "I'm sorry for disturbing you."

"Disturb?"

Wanda was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly pushed Bert away with a blushing face. Bert said with a look of contempt, "This guy's head is really dirty. We are brother and sister."

Wanda gritted her teeth and looked at Bert. How would she face people in the future?

After a while, Baron Strucker opened the door again and came in. Seeing that the two had already packed up, he smiled and said, "The Scepter is ready. Dr. Liszt will crack the Chi in you. By the way, I support you."

"Support us?"

Baron Strucker's words made Wanda embarrassed and angry, and she hurriedly said, "Baron, you misunderstood."

"It's okay. I'm looking forward to your crystallization."

Baron Strucker laughed and closed the door. He really supported Wanda and Pietro, and their descendants will definitely be strong.

Seeing that the explanation was useless, Wanda stomped her feet angrily. At the same time, she touched Bert's waist with her right hand, pinched a piece of meat, and pinched it fiercely.

Bert sucked in a breath of cold air. Of course, it was pretending. He said, "Okay, don't be angry. Let's go check the Scepter for a while. There is something wrong with it. Figuring out its situation is the first of my two goals."

Wanda asked, "What's the second goal? What was the first goal?"

"I didn't mention it earlier to protect you."

Bert took Wanda's hand and said, causing Wanda to snort, but she was happy inside. Women are always perceptive creatures.

Baron Strucker smiled even more upon seeing Wanda and Pietro walking hand in hand. He motioned for them to sit on the chairs and then let Dr. Liszt begin.

Dr. Liszt was Baron Strucker's partner and the chief scientist of the HYDRA base. He didn't waste any time and used the instrument to activate the Scepter. A large amount of pale yellow energy enveloped the two of them and then drilled into their bodies.

"What!"

Pietro (Bert) and Wanda screamed in pain simultaneously. The instrument showed that a strange energy was activated in their bodies and that they were using their bodies as a battlefield to fight against the spiritual energy.

"That should be Chi," Dr. Liszt said. "This energy is amazing, Baron. Can you find someone with Chi to research it for me? Maybe you and I can use this energy too."

"Can we use it too?" Baron Strucker's eyes lit up. "I'll definitely grab a few for you to study. By the way, can psychic energy decipher the Chi in them?"

"No problem," Dr. Liszt replied. He glanced at the two people who were shouting and added, "The Chi in them is rootless. Sooner or later, it will be exhausted, and the energy of the Scepter is endless. However, it may take a little longer. I'm afraid of hurting them, and I haven't fully stimulated my spiritual energy."

"That's right," Baron Strucker said with a smile. "They are our treasures, and nothing can happen to them."

After a while, the screams of Pietro (Bert) and Wanda gradually subsided. It wasn't that the Chi in their bodies had been defeated, but that they had gradually adapted to the pain. In fact, they were tired and needed rest.

"Very good," Baron Strucker said, seeing that the two were able to bear it. At this time, a HYDRA agent came to report that the Elder and Rumlow were on their way.

Baron Strucker handed things over to Dr. Liszt and returned to his office by himself. The Elder, Annie, saw him and said straight to the point, "Baron Strucker, thank you very much for your hospitality. The Demon King is about to be born, and I'm going to New York for purification."

Baron Strucker replied, "Elder, I will send you to New York. Unfortunately, I haven't caught the apprentice of the Blood God, so I can't exchange the artifact."

Hearing these words, Rumlow clenched his fists secretly, full of unwillingness, but he did not argue. If he lost, he lost, and there was nothing to distinguish.

"That's impossible," the first Elder sighed. "There are many righteous people and demon believers gathered in New York City. Together with us, we should be able to solve the reincarnated demon king."

"It's not enough," Baron Strucker said. "Because S.W.O.R.D. will definitely help, and the American high-level officials can't stop them. Fortunately, I have a plan to cooperate with you."

The first Elder asked curiously, "What plan?"

"The Inhuman plan," Baron Strucker replied. He looked at Rumlow and instructed, "Rumlow, when the Elder attacks the hospital, you will destroy and slaughter all over the world with the Inhumans and attract S.W.O.R.D.'s attention."

"Can I do anything?" Rumlow asked excitedly.

"Anything is fine. The more you kill, the better. It's best to create a catastrophe that kills thousands of people," Baron Strucker said coldly.

"I guarantee that the mission will be completed," Rumlow saluted extremely excitedly. Only pain can make those people understand how important order is. The reason why the world is so chaotic is because of the lack of their painful education.

"In order to eradicate the Demon King, this is inevitable. Baron Strucker, thank you for your help," the Elder hesitated and said.

"This is not only helping you, but also helping myself. We HYDRA also don't want the world to be destroyed," Baron Strucker said. HYDRA's goal is to rule the world, not destroy it.

"Okay, then I'll prepare and leave immediately," the Elder nodded and left, leaving only Baron Strucker and Rumlow in the room.

"When you make a killing, remember to promote that the Inhumans are higher than humans. In short, you have to pretend to be Inhumans supremacists," Baron Strucker instructed Rumlow.

"What's the use of this?" Rumlow asked puzzled.

"Of course it works. This will make the commoners deeply hate the Inhumans. At that time, that idiot can win more supporters," Baron Strucker said.

"The more supporters there are, the larger the scale of the civil war will be. At the same time, the malice of ordinary people will help us win over and subdue the Inhumans. Even if there is no such thing as the reincarnation of the devil, I intend to make you do this."

"I understand what to do," Rumlow nodded.

"Go and prepare. This time, I will give you two hundred Inhumans. Rumlow, don't let me down again," Baron Strucker said.

"I will never let you down again. HAIL HYDRA!" Rumlow saluted and retired.

Baron Strucker thought about his plan and smiled proudly. This time, HYDRA will never lose. Before long, HYDRA will rule the world, and he, Baron Strucker, will become the king of the world.

The confident Baron Strucker did not know that after the Elder left the HYDRA base, he immediately passed the news to Steve through Bert's channel.

"The Inhuman plan?" When Steve received the information, he frowned greatly. "This is troublesome. They have space capabilities and can cause more destruction. We can't stop them completely. With the destructive power of Inhumans, coupled with the current population density, once they start to act, many people will die."

"Director, I think we should attack the HYDRA base in advance," Skye said anxiously. "The Inhuman plan will not only cause huge casualties, but also arouse the anger of ordinary people against Inhumans. At that time, humans and Inhumans will be divided and opposed, and it must be stopped. Now to attack, although the troops in the hospital cannot be used, I don't think there is any problem. After all, we can take them by surprise."

"Attack ahead?"

Steve hesitated before saying, "There's no problem with the military, but Bert hasn't checked the Scepter yet. He said that the Scepter has a big problem.

Additionally, after we take action, those Demon God believers might take the opportunity to attack the hospital. At that time, we won't be able to support them and we'll even leave Strange vulnerable. Without him, we won't be able to block the HYDRA base and take out all of their agents."

After a pause, Steve added, "HYDRA and the Kree are very dangerous. We can't let either of them go, or there will be endless troubles. Especially the Kree - they can bring in an Anti-matter bomb and cause chaos.

This time, Bert found out, but we may not have such good luck next time. Moreover, Jarvis hasn't been successfully upgraded yet. If we use him to attack HYDRA, they may launch a network attack. As an old antique, I know how important the network is."

Skye was left speechless by Steve's words and asked irritably, "What should we do then? We can't just let them carry out their Inhuman plan?"

Both Steve and Coulson remained silent, realizing the difficult position they were in.

Suddenly, Tony Stark's voice came over the radio, "What's the hold up? Let's attack the HYDRA base as quickly as possible. As for me, as long as you shut down Sokovia, those guys won't attack. They've been waiting for my son to be born. Strange doesn't need to go there. Bert's senior brother is already there, and his space blockade will only be stronger than Strange's. Finally, Jarvis, say hi to our Chief Steve."

"Director Steve, Deputy Director Coulson, and Captain Skye, hello. I'm the obnoxious Tony Stark's housekeeper, Jarvis."

Jarvis's voice sounded much more affable than before.

Tony complained, "Hey, Jarvis, what do you mean?"

"I'm just trying to get closer to them. According to psychology, scolding someone who everyone hates is an easy way to close the distance," Jarvis said. "According to statistics, you are the most annoying person in S.W.O.R.D."

Tony retorted angrily, "You got close to them by stepping on me? You don't see me as the creator yet? Also, what are you doing with that thing?"

"Of course, I have you in my eyes. You are my creator. You won't tear me down, so I can step on you as I please," Jarvis replied honestly. It's worth mentioning that he kept the name Jarvis instead of Vision - in the movie, the Jarvis program was severely damaged, and after 'reincarnation', he became another 'person.' In this world, Jarvis's program is safe and sound.

Tony was speechless, realizing that Jarvis had a twisted sense of humor.

"Jarvis, your joke is almost funny. I think we're friends now," Steve said with a smile. "Have you finished upgrading?"

"Yes, I have been upgraded and am ready to be teleported to you at the New York hospital," said Jarvis.

Jarvis continued, "I will help you defeat HYDRA and the Supreme Intelligence; this is my mission."

"Very good," Steve exclaimed. "Coulson, get everyone ready. Wait for me to contact Bert and then immediately start dealing with HYDRA as quickly as possible."

"Clear," Coulson nodded as he went with Skye to adjust the force.

"Tony, be careful on your side. It's not looking good. Let Strange teleport you to the battlefield here," Steve warned.

"Don't worry. I can handle a bunch of clowns jumping on the beam," Tony retorted. "Besides, they may not even be able to shoot."

"Well, I hope everything goes well," Steve responded. He knew it was time to see when Bert would contact them from the HYDRA Base. As the spiritual energy penetrated his body, Bert gradually sensed a wave of soul fluctuations.

'Hiding in the Mind Stone? No wonder I haven't been able to find where you are,' Bert snorted coldly as he sprinkled some mysterious soul powder on his dragon soul.

This mysterious powder is a Collector's item that can hide the fluctuations of the soul. It is straightforward to use, but the only problem is that it only lasts for a short time and there is only a small amount of it, so it cannot be used multiple times.

"Chi?" Supergiant didn't notice Bert's movements as she was analyzing the Chi in his body.

This energy is unique, as it can not only block the powers of Pietro and Wanda but also resist the energy of the Mind. She must thoroughly understand it because the Blood God also has Chi in him. At the end of this battle, she must face the Blood God.

Supergiant thought for a while, pulled a little Chi back into the Mind Stone, and prepared to analyze it slowly. Bert sensed Supergiant's movements and immediately used Pym particles to shrink the dragon's soul. He then followed the little Chi into the Mind Stone.
