Chapter 1152 A Poor Performance Can Also Be Useful

While the Nephalem and the Archangels were busy, Wayne was not idle either.

Although he didn't know what difficulties the Nephalem were going through, Wayne had no intention of relaxing his vigilance.

Under Wayne's control, SHIELD was back on track.

But all of this was under Wayne's will!

Admittedly, Wayne was not a dictator, but his desire for control was no less than Nick Fury's.

If there was any difference between Wayne and Nick Fury, it was probably that Wayne's respect for others was real.

Nick Fury preferred to use lies to achieve his goals.

"Wayne, something is wrong with Dr. Reed.

His thinking became slower and slower, and he showed signs of irritability.

In this case, it was hard for me not to care about what happened to Dr. Reed!"

Tony remade a suit and put it on.

This time, the suit had additional processing steps, such as shielding of external signals!

The devil Ultron was still active outside, so Tony had to upgrade his suit in terms of signal shielding!

If he doesn't do this, Tony is likely to have his suit hijacked when facing Ultron.

This has happened to you twice, and Tony can't accept that he will fall three times due to the same defect!

"I know, so we have to prepare for the worst.

Is there really no human in this world who can match Reed's wisdom?"

Wayne's expression was particularly serious.

He didn't mean to joke at all. If Reed really became a demon, Wayne's means would be direct and effective.

But now Wayne is thinking about another question.

"Tony, you should have kept the part of the soul that Dr. Reed separated well, right?"

Wayne asked.

This question made Tony feel a little dissatisfied.

"Of course I kept it well, but you'd better not think about releasing that part of the soul!

Although my research on the soul is not that in-depth, we must keep it in this state!"

Tony rejected Wayne flatly before Wayne said what he thought.

He didn't even know what Wayne was going to do, but Tony's intuition told him that what Wayne was going to do was very dangerous.

At this time, Tony even began to regret joining Wayne's plan. The scenery described in that plan was indeed beautiful.

But now Tony has noticed too many problems that can make this plan fail halfway.

"Tony, even if the soul is divided, the essence of the soul can still affect each other.

Judging from Dr. Reed's current situation, the other part of his soul may have completely become a demon!"

Wayne's tone was particularly serious.

"It's a bit late for you to mention this to me at this time!

This choice was the best choice I could come up with at the time, and now Reed is conducting research on reversing the corruption of the demon.

I think he should know what he is doing, after all, his lover is also under the threat of corruption!"

Tony said very toughly.

Tony still maintains a considerable degree of respect and trust for Wayne.

But Tony does not trust Wayne unconditionally.

Just like victory in war can cover up many problems, but when encountering difficulties, the difficulties that were previously covered up will become more intense.

Tony still looks forward to the future described by Wayne, but now he has more practical concerns!

"Do you know how much of Reed's soul is compared to the complete Reed?

Ten percent? Or fifty percent? Or even higher?"

Wayne asked bluntly.

This is what he is worried about!

The soul is not something that determines its importance according to its volume, just like humans can survive even if they lose some organs.

There are also core areas in the soul, which Wayne has only recently discovered.

This gain is thanks to Nick Fury's selfless contribution as an experimental subject and providing most of the data!

The treatment of Nick Fury was carried out along with the experiment.

Although Nick Fury has not woken up at this time, Nick Fury's vital signs are complete.

And the brain waves have also returned to the state of deep sleep of normal people.

This is of course good news, which means that Nick Fury may wake up directly in a short time.

It's just that Wayne doesn't need Nick Fury to wake up at this time!

Nick Fury is a very useful trump card. Wayne needs him to wake up at a certain time to play a greater role!

Although this way of measuring others is somewhat disrespectful to the will of individual life, Nick Fury probably won't say anything about it.

Nick Fury himself is a guy who doesn't care much about morality and law.

Even if he wakes up, he has no right to express his opinion here.

"You mean we need to verify whether Dr. Reed's separated soul has become a demon?

I don't know how to verify this kind of thing, but I have to tell you that I froze those separated souls after they were integrated with the power of vampires!

When I'm not sure whether the power of vampires can completely solve the corruption crisis, slowing everything down is the best choice I can think of! "

Tony had no intention of hiding anything at this time.

This information is not a big secret to Wayne.

The reason why Wayne asked was that he had not paid much attention to this matter in the past. Now that he is the leader of SHIELD, these things will be presented to him as information as long as Wayne is willing.

"Tony, how many fully mechanized weapons are there now?"

Wayne asked, changing the subject.

Tony had a feeling of confusion. Wayne had not taken any special actions during this period, but instead there were more and more problems.

"The quantity is enough to start a world war, but I don't understand what the role of weapons of this magnitude is?

Has the number of demons completely exceeded your expectations? "

Tony's tone sounded sarcastic.

The number of demons currently appearing on the earth is still within a controllable range.

Even the most common demons at this time are those fallen demons who like to call Rakanihu.

Even a normal adult holding a wooden stick can defeat this kind of demon in a duel, as long as humans are not afraid of the ugly face of the fallen demon.

"You don't think that the demons you see now are all they have, do you?

The most difficult demons so far are just elite-level demons. In the Burning Hell, elite demons are just slightly more powerful cannon fodder!

So far, I have not found any sighting reports about the elite demon race!

Don't tell me that you have forgotten how powerless you were when facing the King of Plague! "

Wayne's words sounded preachy, which made Tony a little dissatisfied.

Wayne hasn't changed, at least not because of the power!

The position of leader of SHIELD is indeed able to control many things, but it is not enough to change Wayne's heart.

Tony prefers to think that Wayne's strange behavior is due to the increasingly weird situation at this time!

The number of demons seems to be decreasing. This situation is so abnormal!

Although Tony is not a Nephalem, the number of demons he has dealt with is also a huge number.

Especially when studying demon corruption, the demons that Tony personally dissected could pile up into a small mountain!

Although there are no cutting-edge demons among these experimental products, they are more than enough for understanding the basic situation of demons.

"Devils like the Plague King are obviously classified as legendary. I don't think that kind of demon will appear on a large scale!"

Tony shook his head.

"The distribution of demons is indeed pyramid-shaped, but you seem to have ignored the base number of demons!

The existence at the top of the Devil's Pyramid is undoubtedly the Three Demon Gods, but you should also know that the three tops are not normal!

It is normal for there to be only one demon at the top, especially since demons are a group whose status is determined by individual strength.

We may not have seen the being that truly represents the devil as a whole.

Even if we ignore this, the number of demons determines that there are not a few legends among them!

Do you think there are only a few legendary demons in the Burning Hell? "

Wayne's words were like questioning, and Tony couldn't think of a suitable way to express his thoughts in this situation.

"Wayne, the existence of demons is a huge pressure on humans.

Merely mechanized weapons are not enough to face the legendary demon you are worried about. You should tell me more!

The devil is very scary, but what is even more scary is the unknown! "

Tony spoke slowly after being silent for a while.

"Tony, you should understand that we cannot place all our hopes on the Nephalem.

Even though we have received too much from the Nephalem, we must have our own strength! "

Wayne said.

Wayne never set out to force his ideas on others.

Most of the time he prefers to use a gentle approach to gain consensus.

There were just times when he had to act without consulting others, like when he advised Tony not to fully trust the Nephalem.

Wayne is unwilling to completely trust anyone!

Trust is valuable, but partners are indeed indispensable.

If Spider-Man's belief is that "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.", then Wayne's cognition is "the greater the power, the greater the harm it can cause."

Although Wayne is not paranoid enough to believe that powerful beings will become villains, he is indeed worried about such an outcome.

When a being powerful enough to ignore all rules appears, the rules will most likely cease to exist.

While Wayne believes in the bright spots of human nature, he also believes in the darkness of human hearts!

The way he thinks about problems is more like an archangel than a Nephalem!

“Is what you call your own power just mass-produced mechanized weapons that can only be used to deal with low-end demons?

Demons are not zombies! "

Tony told a bad joke.

If zombies in Resident Evil really exist, it is absolutely impossible for them to evolve into the world of Resident Evil!

Human weapons are not difficult to deal with zombies.

But demons are not zombies. Demons are mysterious beings!

They have their own power system and even their own civilization!

"Firearms have different functions. The weapons you made before can only be said to be basic defenses against demons!

What we need next is weapons for elite demons!

I didn't give you this part of the work, but now there are some results.

Although this is only after SHIELD got the rune technology from Vera."

Wayne said and walked to a corner of the office.

As Wayne pressed his hand on the bookshelf, the corner collapsed and shrank in.

A little visual trick always makes people ignore that this room is smaller than it should be.

"If I still brought my smart butler, I would have found this secret room from the beginning."

Tony seemed a little unwilling to admit defeat.

Visual tricks are indeed difficult to have an effect on advanced intelligence.

"But because of Ultron, we can't use that level of technology until we can't defend ourselves.

The electromagnetic cannon, which originally existed only in the laboratory, has been completed with the help of Nephalem's technology.

This kind of thing probably won't appear in your research catalog."

Wayne took out a metal tube that looked more like a rocket launcher from the secret room and said.

"Excuse me, the electromagnetic cannon is more suitable as a weapon for large-scale strikes.

Although it is a kinetic weapon, it is still a physical attack."

Tony frowned.

He agreed with Wayne's remarks on the division of labor of weapons, but he didn't think that the electromagnetic cannon could play the role that Wayne said.

"The electromagnetic cannon is only the first stage, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is already conducting experiments on pure energy strike weapons.

But the lethality of electromagnetic weapons against demons is trustworthy, and the ammunition is easier to manufacture."

Wayne avoided the question.

This performance made Tony feel something was wrong.

As a barbarian, Wayne should know the strength of demons better than Tony.

But Wayne, who was communicating with Tony now, seemed to be unclear about the power of demons.

But Tony didn't suspect that someone was standing here pretending to be Wayne!

There are indeed people who can defeat Wayne at this time, and there are even quite a few.

But it is a fantasy to do this quietly!

Wayne can win in a head-on fight with elite demons, which means that even legends can't let Wayne lose quietly!

Although the gap between legends and elites is not small, the two sides can already fight a few moves.

Unless Wayne is hiding something, such as Ultron!

Ultron has left the Burning Hell, although he is only a crippled demon king of hell.

But this kind of power is already very dangerous!

And Ultron happens to be the kind of existence that can monitor the inside of SHIELD.

Wayne seems to be constantly hinting to Tony that he should catch Ultron quickly! That's why he would act in such a place!

Ultron was born from the technology of Cyberman and Tony, but Ultron's understanding of humans still only stays on the data!

If it is a performance, Ultron may not be able to tell it apart!

Especially Wayne is a psychology expert!

Paper materials and knowledge are still far from enough before they are put into practice.

Tony tried his best to act the same as before, as he was not good at acting.

So the best choice at this time was to pretend to be angry. As it happened, Tony was indeed angry at Wayne's words!
