18. Sacrifice

"I just went to the villa. You're not here. Where have you been? Which woman did you hang out with again?"

As soon as Agent McCree turned on the phone, he received a voice bombard from his wife, and Ash's iconic voice came out of the phone.

It's like the roar of a lion in the east of the river.

The cowboy agent quickly turned off the sound, but it was too late.

Those who were resting in this hall were all a group of extraordinary guys, and they must have caught the sound just a few seconds ago.

The suppressed laughter from behind seemed to prove this point.

A normal man should be embarrassed at this time, but McCree, no.

With a normal expression, he took out a small metal tube from his pocket, and took out the unfinished cigar on the plane.

He picked up an Igni sign, lit a cigar, looked back at the friends of the watch team who were arranging their equipment, and walked out of the lounge with their mobile phone.

"I'm in Antarctica."

McCree looked out at the pale world outside the base window.

He said to Miss Ash on the other end of the phone, who was bathing the new pet with a high-pressure water gun:

"I just took a mission to come here to defend and protect some things... Are you okay there? I just read the news that there are many alien creatures invading over there in New York."

"Oh, so I didn't go to find Miss Sister."

Ash's tone became a little better.

The leader of the deadlock gang blinked, threw the high-pressure water pipe to the Romans around him, and ordered to his dog legs:

"Clean up my 'queen', and prepare some food for it by the way, the little pity hasn't eaten in the new world yet."

The "queen" Ash was referring to was the Feathered Serpent locked in a high-energy lock in the large courtyard of her country house.

This thing fell into New York from another world due to a celestial sphere convergence.

It was a rare magical creature. The one caught by Ash was only in its infancy, but its coiled body like a snake was nearly 15 meters long, with a pair of wings dotted with feathers closed on its back.

The body is covered with fine and beautiful scales, reflecting bright light in the sun.

When Ash was grabbing this "little thing", his movements were a little rough, causing a wound to be torn open on the Feathered Serpent's abdomen.

Her omnic butler, Bob, is leading an omnic maid who specializes in surgery to stitch the wounds of the hostess' pets.

Miss Ash, in a white shirt, hunting breeches, and leather boots, clutches her phone and sits in a chair by the pool.

While picking up a drink with ice cubes, she said to her husband who just married her 4 months ago:

"New York is okay. I asked my men to cooperate with the Sanctuary and the Eye of the Sky. After strengthening the supply of magic power on Bleecker Street, the situation has improved a lot."

"Those who can be blocked through the dimension are hard-to-handle bastards. I heard that the monsters also sent people into the ground from Sulfur Port."

Ash took a sip of his drink and breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her finger and admired the small diamond ring on her slender finger.

This item can only be regarded as the most inconspicuous among all the jewelry owned by Miss Ash, the daughter of the rich family. If it is thrown on the ground, the eldest lady will not even bother to pick it up.

But for a woman like Ash who was born with everything, the gift itself is not important, but the person who gave it.

This unremarkable ring was used by McRae's grandparents when they got married. It was passed down for two generations and finally fell into the hands of Miss Ash.

The symbolic meaning of this dusty ring is very important to the couple.

Miss Ash looked at her pet that had been cleaned. The feathered snake's beautiful appearance made her squint her eyes, as if seeing the most beautiful jewelry.

A few seconds later, she said to McCree lazily:

"Do you want me to go to Antarctica to accompany you?"

"Uh, forget it."

McCree was a little moved, but after thinking about the confidentiality authority of Base 32, he finally gave up this tempting plan.

He looked at the snow field outside the window of the base, and he said to his wife:

"You wait for me at home with peace of mind. I will go back in a week at most. You must protect yourself in New York. If something happens, let your people go up first..."

The cowboy agent was chattering to his wife, and the alarm bell in the base suddenly rang.

The ear-piercing voice made McCree raise his head subconsciously, and he saw the signs of assembly and attack shining on the projection above his head.

This harsh voice was also heard by Miss Ash on the other end of the phone, and she asked sharply:

"What happened?"

"I don't know. It may be an attack on the base. I'll go and have a look. I'll hang up first and we'll talk later."

McCree put away his mobile phone, threw the cigar in his hand into the metal pipe in his pocket, and hurried back to the lounge. The members of the watch team were ready.

The black shadow chewing gum, the ghost with a hood and a skull mask, No. 76 who is adjusting the goggles, and the inseparable "angel" Miss Ziegler and her boyfriend Shimada Gen.

As well as the assassin Widowmaker with a yawning biochemical sniper rifle and the demolition expert Junkrat who were reintroduced into the Overwatch team after the Thunderbolt team disbanded.

And the cyborg Roadhog who was eating and drinking.

Behind this team of fighters are 30 high-level omnic fighters directly deployed from the headquarters of the Mechanic God, including 5 mechanical pioneers equipped with explosive sound channel equipment, and 25 mechanical assaulters.

This elite force is already comparable to a small army in terms of firepower.

More importantly, the well-known "Watch" squad has never been stupid to confront the enemy head-on since the establishment of SHIELD.

"Someone attacked from the front of the line of defense."

No. 76 said to McCree succinctly:

"So far, we have broken through two lines of defense guarded by omnics. The target should be at Base 32. Their numbers are small, but their combat effectiveness is extremely strong."

"It's terrible, I plan to sleep here."

McCree made a joke, and reached out to take out two black mechanical revolvers from the ammunition box. This thing was also modified by the Mechanicus, and its caliber was comparable to a grenade launcher, capable of firing all kinds of ammunition.

He also carried two swords on his back. In addition to being an agent, he was also an advanced witcher.

"The internal blockade procedure of the base has been initiated."

Accompanied by the stereotyped electronic sound, the passages inside the Emperor Organization's No. 32 base that went deep into the Antarctic glacier were slowly closed.

Only after the crisis is resolved will the facilities deep within the base be reopened.

Although the watch team didn't know exactly what was under the base, such tight protection and the four layers of omnic positions outside the base already meant that the things hidden here must be very amazing.

"The target has been confirmed!"

When Agent McRae and his team stepped out of the base, Widowmaker who was conducting a sniper operation on the heights of the base reported the news. She was very funny and said to her comrades:

"The good news is that there are only two people targeted. The bad news is that they are very powerful..."

"Wow, I saw someone use a cold weapon to penetrate a defender body weighing at least 5 tons. If it wasn't for his natural supernatural power, it means that the weapon in his hand is weird. You guys better be careful."

"Cold weapon?"

No. 76, who directed the arming of the omnics, froze for a moment, and asked:

"Widowmaker, describe in detail what the cold weapon you saw looked like?"

"Uh, it's a warhammer. The two shapes are different."

At the height of the base, Widowmaker, who had chosen the sniper position, kept fine-tuning the resolution of the goggle helmet. She reported:

"Both are quite heavy, but there seems to be a strange energy visible to the naked eye on the weapon. It is purple. Every time it is swung, the weapon will bring a purple arc, just like lightning."

"It's the Dread Hammer!"

Hearing Widowmaker's description, Agent McCree immediately narrowed his eyes, turned his head and said to the others around him:

"During the last battle of Atlantis, there was the Warhammer of Dread. At that time, you were fighting at the time node 214, so you haven't heard of it, but I have seen it."

"That is the creation of an evil god!"

The cowboy agent took out a special bullet clip from his pocket, and he said to his comrades:

"Change to the 'anti-divine' weapon. Ordinary weapons are useless to them."

While talking, McCree took out a bottle of special sword oil from his pocket and threw it to Gen Shimada, who was using a cold weapon. He reminded:

"Smear this on your knives, cold weapons are more threatening to them, cut off your hands! Do you understand?"

The cowboy reminded the silent mech warrior:

"What's really difficult to deal with is the Warhammer itself. As long as they lose their weapons, they themselves are nothing to worry about."

"Um."

The mecha warrior wearing a cool helmet nodded. He pulled out the wakizashi around his waist, applied the sword oil, and pulled out the alloy dragon blade on his back, and carefully applied the sword oil.

A moment later, two thunder-clad Venerable Sky Hammers rushed into the watch team's position, only to be hit head-on by violent anti-divinity bullets and run away.

These bullets were developed by the Mechanicus on the basis of the Holy Silver Bullets.

It is said that he also got advice from a hell lord who likes to meddle in his own business and knows a little bit about everything.

However, although these gadgets are very lethal against magical creatures with divine nature, they are much less effective against ordinary people and machines.

But the more he fought, the heavier the uneasiness in McRae's heart became.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that these two reckless and brainless Venerable Sky Hammers were sent to die. They didn't look like the four warriors carefully selected by the evil god in the Battle of Atlantis.

Martial arts are in a mess, he only knows how to use brute force to swing weapons randomly, and his heart seems to be filled with the meaning of destruction.

From the tyrannical eyes, there is no trace of intelligence at all, just like a beast driven by anger and desire to destroy.

"It's not right!"

While reloading his revolver with new bullets, McRae said to No. 76, who was holding an assault rifle beside him and firing steadily:

"I feel like we're being lied to... smacking around, no! I have to go back to base, Widowmaker, you back me up!"

"Huh? Widowmaker? Answer received!"

There was only a busy tone on the communication channel, and now, 76 also felt that something was wrong.

As he took over the command, he pointed to the base behind him to McCree. The cowboy didn't talk nonsense, turned around and drank a bottle of potion, his running speed increased by three times immediately, and he rushed back to base 32 like the wind.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the base, McCree smelled a strong smell of blood.

He ran a few steps in the base, only to see the shattered closed alloy door on the front and the shattered wall.

It's like the Hulk Hulk was put into the base, the broken wall went all the way down, and a tunnel leading to the ground was opened in the front.

"Damn it!"

The cowboy cursed, pulled out the silver sword behind his back, and jumped down the dark tunnel.

He swiftly jumped into the deepest part of the base. The temperature here was even much colder than the snow field above, making the witcher agent shiver uncontrollably.

More importantly, the sound of heavy objects hitting the glass was sounding not far away, and there was a clear sound of some kind of object breaking.

All this gave McRae a bad feeling in his heart.

Instead of rushing out rashly, he sent a message for help on his wrist watch. After receiving two responses, the cowboy agent rushed into the tunnel ahead with a weapon in hand.

Then he saw...

demon.

A demon with three heads.

The Emperor Organization set up Base No. 32 in Antarctica. During the SHIELD period, this base was jointly maintained by the Emperor Organization and SHIELD.

It was classified as Level 10 at the time.

In other words, in the huge S.H.I.E.L.D., only Merlin, Fury, Agent Silver Bullet, and Pierce are qualified to read the documents related to the secrets of this base.

An ancient Titan is sealed here.

It is different from all the Titans. It... even if it is frozen in the ice for thousands of years, its ferocious posture makes everyone who sees it fear.

It has a dragon-like head, and there are three of them.

Three snake-like necks extend down to the same body, which is covered with golden scales and looks full of evil majesty.

The monster was frozen in the ice, only as far as McCree could see, and he couldn't even see its entirety.

It was frozen in a standing position, even with three heads hanging down, its body was nearly 150 meters above.

It has a pair of wings that can cover the sky and the sun, even when they are closed, it is shocking, there are two forked tails, and two thick claws that support the body.

At the moment McCree rushed into the underground tunnel, charred and shredded corpses lay beneath the feet of the superstar, armed with a sharp, sharp hammer.

She was standing in a pool of blood, entangled in a strange arc of electricity.

This guy was swinging a warhammer overflowing with purple light. Amidst the thunder and lightning, he blasted the sharp hammer head on the front of the giant ice block.

On the surface of the ice that sealed the three Titans, it was already covered with black, dense, spider web-like cracks.

It was smashed!

"stop!"

McCree yelled, and pulled the trigger on the weapon in his hand. The bullets roared towards the superstar, but the latter dodged away.

The superstar holding the warhammer looked back at McCree. On her face filled with runes, there was a weird, awkward smile. Amidst the roar of purple thunder, she said to McCree:

"You guys, it's late..."

McCree didn't answer, he turned and ran.

This gesture stunned the superstar for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the son of Thanos turned around in astonishment, and what greeted her were six snake eyes that slowly opened, and three beast kisses that were grinning and shining with thunder.

Those eyes were bigger than hers, and the malice shining in them made the superstar's scalp tingle.

In the desperate situation where the entire glacier trembled and shattered, she released a monster with her own hands.

She will also be the one who returns the evil king to the world...

The first sacrifice.
