Chapter 203 Dormammu and Chitauri

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building, Alexander office.

Sitwell stood in front of his desk with a respectful look on his face, while Alexander cut a cigar behind his desk.

"How is the cultivation of the Deadpool Legion going?" Alexander lit his cigar and asked.

"Professor Connors... no, he calls himself Professor Lizard now. He is indeed a talent. He has once again improved the technology of Deadpool transformation. Although the success rate of Deadpool's transformation is still not high, the combat effectiveness of individual Deadpool is better than before. Significantly enhanced, the combat effectiveness of most deadpools has reached the level of being able to destroy a heavy tank on a frontal battlefield. A few deadpools have evolved the ability to fly. Although their flying speed cannot match that of fighter jets, they are more maneuverable and flexible. .”

"Well..." Alexander nodded slightly, "What about the quantity? How many are there now."

Sitwell looked embarrassed: "After the new technology came out, we collected a lot of experimental subjects in Africa and the Middle East, and we are already working hard to create Deadpool. However, the conversion rate of Deadpool is still too low. Now the number of Deadpool is only Two hundred and seventy-three.”

"Less than three hundred?" Alexander frowned deeply, "No matter how strong Deadpool is, this little is not enough."

"I'm sorry, but this is already our ultimate speed at this stage," Sitwell said. "In fact, we have spent a huge amount of money purchasing test subjects in Africa and the Middle East, but the rate of successful transformation of Deadpool is too low. , most of the test subjects died in the experiment."

"Can't we get more test subjects?" Alexander said dissatisfied.

Sitwell looked helpless: "In order to purchase these experimental bodies, we have used nearly one-third of the organization's reserve funds. If we weren't worried about being discovered by Nick Fury, I would have spent more money from S.H.I.E.L.D. .”

They have been working in SHIELD for many years, and naturally they have many ways to transfer SHIELD's funds to the organization little by little over the years. Otherwise, they would directly use SHIELD's funding system for everything, and the clues would have been discovered by keen people long ago. .

Over the years, they have sucked blood from SHIELD and accumulated a huge amount of wealth. This is the first time that one-third of it has been consumed in such a short period of time.

"Now keep a low profile," Alexander exhaled a puff of smoke with a cold expression, "We have acted several times, and Fury has already suspected that there is a mole in S.H.I.E.L.D. He just came to talk to me yesterday and raised a question that he suspected was Let me pay attention to the list of insiders... As expected of Nick Fury, his list is all our people, and there is not a single mistake."

"In terms of headcount ratio, this is normal," Sitwell laughed. "I'm a bit doubtful whether there are more people in SHIELD: us or Fury."

"When it comes to lower-level agents, Fury definitely has more people, but when it comes to the higher-ups... ha..." Alexander sneered, "But today is different from the past. What we need most now is just time, just waiting for the Deadpool army to take shape. , We can get as much money as we want. So you all should be more honest these days, and don’t deepen Fury’s suspicion just for a little operational funds.”

"Yes." Sitwell said quickly.

"By the way, do the test subjects have to be humans?" Alexander asked, "Can't they be replaced by monkeys, orangutans, or lions and tigers..."

"Uh... except for monkeys, which may be slightly cheaper, the other animals you mentioned are more expensive than people. If they were all replaced by orangutans, tigers and the like, we would have gone bankrupt." Sitwell was a little embarrassed.

Alexander:…

Seeing that Alexander's face was not very good, Sitwell quickly made up for it: "And we have also tried it. Although animals can also be transformed into Deadpool, they are difficult to control. The cost of brainwashing is the same, and the obedience of Deadpool after human mutation Much better than a Deadpool made of animals.”

"That's it...then continue to use humans. Obedience is the most important thing," Alexander nodded slightly, "Weapons that cannot be controlled are just threats."

"Speaking of this, according to the information we have learned, it may be because all of Deadpool's genes come from the person named Lu Mingfei, so he has some control over nature. The experimental body created by Professor Lizard in the sewer before Being controlled by Lu Mingfei. Although our brainwashing control technology far exceeds that of Professor Lizard, we don’t know the limit of Lu Mingfei’s control over Deadpool. If his control over Deadpool exceeds our brainwashing technology, then Aren't we taking advantage of him?" Sitwell said worriedly.

"He is indeed a big problem. Let's do this. After a while, you find someone to bring a team of Deadpool equipped with micro bombs to kill him. If Deadpool is not controlled by him, it means that his control power has its limits. If those Deadpools are controlled, find an opportunity to detonate the bomb when they are close to Deadpool," Alexander said. "It's best if you can kill him. If you can't kill him, hide the remaining Deadpools and focus on experts. Re-upgrade brainwashing technology.”

"Yes." Sitwell nodded.

"Okay, go do your thing. Don't worry about funding. I allow you to mobilize all reserve funds as long as more Deadpools can be produced." Alexander said.

"Sir, I have another question..." Sitwell said, "Should we just ignore the Winter Soldier? There are many of our people in the SHIELD hospital, so it should be no problem to transport him quietly."

"His robotic arm uses technology from the former Soviet Union, and it can no longer be repaired. And we have two hundred and seventy-three deadpools. Why do we need this waste?" Alexander said disdainfully, "If you are not worried about arranging for someone to kill him, He would arouse further suspicion in Fury, and he would have died silently in the ward."

"I understand." Sitwell nodded.

…

Kama Taj.

Lu Mingfei and Gu Yi sat opposite each other on two futons, both with their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.

But if you look at it from a higher level, you can see that their respective spirits are talking, and they are talking much faster than ordinary people.

Although the spirit body is not subject to any laws, it is indeed freer than the physical body. For example, in terms of communication, the communication speed between spirit bodies can be far faster than that of the physical body - to use a metaphor, the speed of human thinking is always faster than that of the physical body. You have to speak quickly, because thinking is just a matter of a thought, but speaking requires vibrating the vocal cords after the thought and waiting for the air to spread the sound to the other person's ears.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei would directly use the spirit body to learn magic knowledge from Gu Yi. Especially when using Mirror Eyes, he could thoroughly understand the knowledge equivalent to a magic book in five minutes - it was still like a brick. A large magic book.

Of course, this method is unparalleled in speed, but the disadvantage is that it is too tiring, especially when Gu Yi has a bottomless knowledge reserve. Lu Mingfei even suspected that she had a library in her head.

So during the period of studying with Ancient One, every day when Lu Mingfei walked out of the meditation room, he looked like his brain had been hollowed out. He staggered to his bedroom and fell asleep.

Occasionally, when he has free time, Lu Mingfei will miss the way he was taught by Tony - in contrast, he knows how kind Tony was at that time!

His time at Karma Taj can be described as "unexamined". He would eat something immediately after waking up every day, then go into the quiet room to learn magic knowledge from Gu Yi, except for meal time until late at night. Study and learn until you can't hold it any longer before you can go back to sleep.

Fortunately, he was a mixed race. An ordinary person would have been lying on the ground twitching and foaming for three days.

But the painful learning process was worth it. His magic knowledge reserve was improving at an incredible speed. According to Gu Yi, after only half a month of learning, his magic knowledge reserve had already surpassed the king—— And Wang is the person with the highest magical attainments in the entire Karma Taj besides Ancient One.

After an unknown period of time, Gu Yi's spirit stopped instilling Lu Mingfei and returned to his body.

Lu Mingfei's spirit body was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his body.

"Eh? Master Gu Yi, why did you stop suddenly? I only had a half-day class today." Lu Mingfei was puzzled.

Lu Mingfei was used to a life of studying and studying every day, and when he suddenly relaxed for a moment, Lu Mingfei was a little uncomfortable.

Ancient One shook his head slightly: "As a Supreme Mage, your understanding of magic knowledge is actually enough. When I first became a Supreme Mage, I was not as good as you are now."

"When you became a mage?" Lu Mingfei said, "Looking at you, you don't seem to be very old. When you became the supreme mage, it was probably thirty or forty years ago at most."

"About that," Gu Yi smiled faintly, "Five hundred and thirty-four years ago to be precise."

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei blinked, "So the mage can also extend life?"

But this life span is no longer a matter of extending life. How can anyone extend life to more than 500 years?

"No, not really. A mage's power is borrowed from a powerful being, so his lifespan cannot exceed the limitations of his own race." Ancient Yi shook his head.

Lu Mingfei, who had lost his mind from learning, looked astonished: "So you are not actually a human being?"

Ancient One:......

"Oh no, no, no, I mean, you are not a human being?" Lu Mingfei said quickly after realizing that there was ambiguity in his words.

"I am a human being," Ancient One said calmly, "and the reason why I can live so long is because... I stole the power that can extend my lifespan from Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Dimension."

"Oh, it turns out it was stolen power. Master Ancient One, you are so powerful. You can actually get it from Dormammu..." Lu Mingfei suddenly paused mid-sentence, "Wait a minute! Dormammu! In the records That King of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu, who has been eyeing the earth, Kama Taj’s main enemy for many years, and who has explicitly prohibited any magician from contacting him?”

Gu nodded.

"So you are taking the lead in violating the taboo?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

Lu Mingfei:...

If it's bad, I won't be silenced. No, I am the Supreme Mage chosen by Master Ancient One. She shouldn’t silence me, right?

Facing Gu Yi's indifferent gaze, Lu Mingfei quietly touched his beating chest.

…

In the vast and deep space of the universe, a desolate dark orange planet is quietly orbiting.

Near the planet, the Chitauri army was ready in space, with countless frigates operating in an orderly manner, faintly surrounding a mothership like a miniature city in the center.

This is just a temporary stronghold for the Chitauri Legion. They stayed here and transformed the planet below into a temporary logistics base. They were originally waiting for the portal to open and could attack it from space as soon as possible.

In the mothership.

Loki stood in front of the slender figure with a sneer on his face.

"Loki, not only did you fail to complete the mission assigned to you by the great Thanos, you also left the scepter he personally gave you on the earth." The slender figure placed his hands in front of him, with the fingers of his hands intertwined, suspended in the air. In mid-air, he looked down at Loki, "I should have executed you on the spot when you came back, but because you brought us a valuable ally, I spared your life. Because you said that ally can help us open the portal to Earth. But why don’t I seem to see the existence of the portal?”

"This... you have to give them some time. It will definitely not take a day or two to open such a large portal." Loki rubbed his hands, "I think the great Thanos will not lack a little tolerance and patience, so you You must also be willing to treat your allies with tolerance, right, Mr. Ebony Maw?"

"A little time?" Ebony Throat's tone rose slightly, "Would you like to calculate for yourself how much time I have given you? The great Thanos does not lack patience, but that does not mean that he will always tolerate you."

Loki's forehead was sweating.

After reaching cooperation with Casillas, who claimed to be the "Messenger of Dormammu", he became the middleman between Casillas and Ebony Maw.

Now he was unlucky. He couldn't afford to offend anyone on both sides, but they didn't want to tear each other apart, so any pressure they had would be thrown on him.

After being the son of Odin for thousands of years in Asgard, Loki has never suffered from this kind of anger.

But he had to endure it - behind Ebony Maw is Thanos, a cosmic overlord whose power may be as powerful as Odin, and behind Casillas, Dormammu is even a dimensional lord.

Moreover, even if we don't mention the existence behind Ebony Maw and Casillas, Loki can't defeat these two people alone.

"I will talk to Casillas..." Loki wiped the cold sweat, looking frightened and respectful on the surface, but in his heart he wanted to insert a dagger into Ebony Throat's head.

"What did you say?" The portal of flying stars opened, and a man with dark cracks in his eyes came out.

"Ah, you are here, my dear ally." Ebony Throat turned to Casillas with a polite look.

Loki felt his blood pressure soaring - every time Ebony Throat was dissatisfied with Casillas' progress, he would ask him to step in and urge him. Ebony Throat himself was always easy to get along with.

"Let your people prepare," Casillas said, "Our master should open the portal soon."

"Oh? Has the time finally come?" Ebony Throat appeared calm on the surface, but was slightly happy in his heart.

He had been waiting for a long time, and his patience was about to run out. But after he told Thanos that "the messenger of Dormammu" would come to cooperate, Thanos said that he wanted to be polite to these people, so no matter how dissatisfied Ebony Throat was, he could only Can bear it.

"The time is coming," Casillas nodded. "Keep your people on alert from now on. The portal may open at any time."

"Great messenger, what time are we waiting for?" Loki came over from the side.

"It's you," Casillas's attitude toward Loki was surprisingly good. "How have you considered my proposal before? Become the messenger of Dormammu, and you will truly embrace eternity and power."

"Hahahahaha..." Loki sneered, "I also long for Lord Dormammu's gift, but I am worried that my strength is too weak. Serving Lord Dormammu will only hinder you. Wait until I am stronger. , will definitely consider it seriously.”

If you add the stupid Dormammu, will he become like you, neither a human nor a ghost? Loki groaned inwardly. And what a messenger, to put it nicely, he is just a slave of Dormammu.

He is the future King of Asgard, and he would never do such a shameful thing as being a slave!

"You have no idea what you've missed." Casillas could naturally see that Loki was refusing. He shook his head slightly and didn't bother to force it. "As for the timing of going to Earth...it doesn't hurt to tell you. We are waiting for the ancient times." One death.”

"Who is the Ancient One?" Loki was puzzled.

"It's the woman who locked you up." Casillas said calmly.

"She's going to die?!" Loki was overjoyed.

"Well, the master said she won't last long," Casillas said. "As soon as she dies, the master will open the portal to Earth."

Having said this, Casillas looked at Ebony Throat: "You can take whatever you want on the earth. The master of the Universe Rubik's Cube or the scepter is not interested. What the master wants is the earth itself. After entering the earth, you must be the first Time to destroy the three temples of the mage.”

"Of course, this is what we have agreed on a long time ago." Ebony Throat smiled and nodded.

As for what the Chitauri army will do when they enter the earth, it is not up to Casillas to decide.

Ebony Throat and Casillas were chatting happily, completely unaware that Loki, who was ignored by them, was lowering his head and turning his eyes.
