Chapter 423 Darkness and Thunder
Admittedly, Ah Fu also knew that before devouring enough shadows, the strength of the Shadow Devourer soldiers was indeed not very good, but quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes. If Thor did not show the ability to accurately kill every Shadow Devourer soldier in the end, then the Hydra soldiers in the base would inevitably suffer heavy losses, and then it would be Ah Fu's chance to appear.
But now, with Thor's wave of instant kills, Ah Fu found that Thor was a bit difficult to deal with. If he really appeared now, it seemed that he had no confidence in suppressing Thor strongly, which made Ah Fu, who was originally on the way, stop.
"No! I can't just go over like this. This guy's strength may be even stronger than I imagined. I need to improve my strength!" Ah Fu's eyes flickered slightly, and he decisively chose to adjust his plan. Anyway, no one knew that he was forced back by Thor's strength after coming here this time.
"Buzz!" With a sound, Ah Fu's body disappeared directly from the original place, blending into the darkness, and headed to his new destination, some less obvious places with more people.
"Hmm? No more? Have you given up? Or are they all dead?" In the base, Thor frowned as he watched the Shadow Devouring Soldiers not appear again. The strength of these Shadow Devouring Soldiers was not that strong, but their abilities were indeed a bit troublesome.
After all, if these Shadow Devouring Soldiers could appear all the time, it would be a disruption to the order of the entire base. It would also waste a lot of energy to deal with and guard the appearance of these Shadow Devouring Soldiers.
"Let's patrol in groups of two!" Sif, who was standing aside, saw what Thor meant. She frowned and said to the three warriors of Asgard, "The remaining people are not strong enough to kill these shadow creatures on a large scale. Only we can do this. If we want to keep the order of the base relatively stable, it is only us who are most suitable to take action."
"Okay!" Thor nodded and handed the task to the Asgard Four. After all, apart from them, the combat effectiveness of the animal warriors was still flawed, and they lacked the corresponding means of killing the enemy, not to mention the super soldiers. It would take a certain amount of time for them to deal with the Shadow Devouring Soldiers.
Therefore, without knowing that Alfred had retreated, Thor gave the task of guarding the base to his most trusted Asgardian quartet.
On the other hand, after leaving, Alfred locked onto another Hydra base. This was not the base of his lineage, but the Hydra of Alexander Pierce's lineage.
However, even though they were both Hydra, Alfred did not hold back at all. He once again sent out the Shadow Devouring Soldiers to invade this base and devour the shadows of the Hydra soldiers in this base on the spot.
As the shadows disappeared, these Hydra soldiers instantly fell into a coma. At the same time, the size of the Shadow Devouring Soldiers was constantly increasing, and their combat effectiveness gradually climbed from the bottom of the Black Shadow Corps at the beginning to the top of the Black Shadow Corps!
Of course, with just this one base, the number is definitely not enough. The lineage of Alexander Pierce is not like the Hydra of Thor's lineage. There are only a few bases, and the number of people is densely placed together.
Alexander Pierce's bases are very scattered, and the number of shadows that a base can provide to the Shadow Devouring Soldiers is not too many, so Ah Fu needs to continue to go to other places to find the right amount of food for the Shadow Devouring Soldiers.
Of course, Ah Fu will definitely not grab the wool of the Hydra of Alexander Pierce's lineage, after all, Alexander Pierce is not so easy to find such things at the beginning, but if he has more experience, he will definitely be prepared.
So Ah Fu needs to find other organizations that have set up bases everywhere, start with them, and continue to improve the strength of the Shadow Devouring Soldiers.
As for why he didn't directly enter the city where there are many people, it was mainly because Ah Fu didn't want to make too much noise.
Even though he got the Shadow Devouring Mask now, Ah Fu still has people he doesn't want to be enemies with, including Clark and Robert. After all, in Ah Fu's impression, these two monsters are basically invincible, and Ah Fu doesn't want to be enemies with them easily.
If he really messes around in the city, causing a large number of people to faint after losing their shadows, someone will definitely notice him, and thus attract Robert and Clark!
It must be said that there is really nothing wrong with Alfred's plan. Apart from attracting the attention of Nick Fury and other official forces who like to build bases everywhere, not to mention attracting Clark's attention, even the Avengers did not intend to pay attention.
Even though Tony Stark had learned about the cases of people's shadows disappearing and fainting through Jarvis, he lost interest instantly when he saw that all those cases were in secret bases.
A large part of the reason why Tony Stark became a superhero and established the Avengers was to maintain peace on the entire earth and protect the people. As for those high-level officials hiding in the Doomsday Fortress and those official forces who were specially trained in secret bases, if they died, they died. This was their own business and did not affect the lives of normal people. Tony Stark would not care about them...
In this way, when S.H.I.E.L.D., the Eye of Heaven, the major forces of the military, and even Hydra began to fight back angrily, the Shadow Devourer disappeared again. Alfred had successfully trained the Shadow Devourer and was confident enough to deal with Thor and others!
[To be honest, I have been using the source changer app to read books and keep up with the latest updates. It can switch sources and has many voices for reading. It is available for Android and Apple. ]
However, since it took a little while, the fact that soldiers in many bases lost their shadows was inevitably exposed.
"So, in addition to us, other Hydra bases, even other official bases, have also seen traces of those shadows? Those who lost their shadows fell into a coma? So, those shadows are not coming for us? Their target is everyone?" Thor's face became serious after learning the news.
"Let everyone pay more attention, especially to the shadows. I don't know how those people's shadows disappeared, but it is definitely impossible that there was no movement at all..."
"Boom boom!" However, just when Thor was still admonishing his men, a roar suddenly sounded in the base. This roar sounded like a demolition team was violently demolishing the base!
With a "swish!" sound, Thor's body turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared on the spot. Also disappeared was Thor's hammer placed beside him.
When Thor's hammer was in the Hydra base, it was always placed next to Thor's seat. It's not that no one wanted to pick up Thor's hammer and feel the power contained in it, but those people didn't pick up Thor's hammer and were killed by Thor on the spot. Since then, naturally no one dared to show their ambition for Thor's hammer.
"Bang!"
"Pah!"
When Thor rushed to the source of the noise with Thor's hammer, Sif had already fought with the Shadow Devourer with the long sword in her hand. However, the Shadow Devourer at this time was enough to be called a monster, because their size was even larger than that of the animal warriors, and their combat power was also very terrifying!
Several Shadow Devouring Soldiers together suppressed Sif for a short time. The three warriors of Asgard on the other side were also facing a group of Shadow Devouring Soldiers, and were once again surrounded and beaten.
"Huh? No! Sif's fighting power is not right!" Thor had just come over and soon discovered the abnormality. After Sif and others were successfully injected with the super soldier serum, their fighting power had been greatly improved compared to before, far exceeding the fighting power of the original animal warriors, but the fighting power shown by Sif and others at this time was not that strong!
Even this was when the weapons in the hands of Sif and others were surging with divine power!
"Thor, be careful! These guys can devour shadows! We need to protect ourselves with divine power, otherwise when the shadows are devoured, our bodies will become much weaker!" When Sif saw Thor coming, she hurriedly opened her mouth and shouted loudly, fearing that Thor would also be hit.
Sif and the others felt that their shadows were devoured, and it didn't matter if their strength was weakened a little, but if even Thor was hit, then no one would be able to deal with these Shadow Devouring Soldiers.
Especially the Shadow Devouring Soldiers, who were front-line soldiers at first glance. There must be someone behind the scenes instructing them. If Thor got into trouble, no one would be able to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes...
"Shh!" Thor's reaction speed was very fast after hearing Sif's words, but there was still a group of small Shadow Devouring Soldiers who pounced on Thor's shadow and bit it on the spot.
Even though the thunder power of Thor's hammer burst out instantly and killed all the Shadow Devouring Soldiers, Thor still felt that his body became weak, and even his consciousness became a little blurred.
"Shua!" At this moment, a fist wind swept towards Thor's body from the shadow.
"Bang!" Thor's hair stood up and he woke up instantly. He also punched him. The two fists collided and Thor's body flew out directly.
"So, you only have this little strength. If I had known this, I wouldn't have wasted so much time and would have come to deal with you first!" Seeing Thor's body fall to the ground in embarrassment, Ah Fu, wearing a mask, sneered and walked out, looking at Thor and said mockingly.
Before, Ah Fu chose to endure it because of Thor's performance, but after this fight, Ah Fu felt that if he had fought Thor directly and sent Shadow Devouring Soldiers to attack Thor at the same time, it seemed that the same effect could be achieved.
However, it is the same now. At least in this situation, the surprise of the Hydra soldiers was completely pulled up, because they did not expect that Thor, who was almost invincible in their eyes, was actually beaten out like this.
Of course, these Hydra soldiers were not only shocked by this, but also by the fact that they recognized Ah Fu's identity!
After all, even though Alfu was wearing a Shadow Devourer mask, his unique red hairstyle was still very obvious. Even behind the mask, the Hydra soldiers instantly recognized Alfu's identity, including Thor!
"Alfu?!" On the other side, Thor stood up with a slightly gloomy face. He looked at Alfu and said in a deep voice, "You are not dead?"
"What? Are you disappointed? I didn't expect that a dog who used to be obedient by my side would become the new leader of Hydra. Even after I came back, he had no intention of renewing his loyalty. So, are you going to betray me completely?" Ah Fu looked at Thor and shook his head slowly, and asked with a faint smile.
"Humph! So what if you didn't die? Although you have new abilities, it doesn't mean you can beat me!" Thor snorted coldly, and the Thor's hammer in his hand instantly smashed in Ah Fu's direction.
At this time, another group of Shadow Devouring Soldiers rushed towards Thor's body one after another. Ah Fu seized the opportunity when Thor's hammer was not there, and wanted to use it to sneak attack Thor again and devour his soul!
However, Ah Fu failed this time, because even if Thor lost Thor's hammer, he could still use the power of thunder. Under the protection of the power of thunder, those Shadow Devouring Soldiers had no way to devour Thor's soul.
"Shua!", but although Ah Fu failed, Thor's hammer did not successfully hit the opponent. When Thor's hammer was about to hit Ah Fu, Ah Fu instantly turned into a black shadow and disappeared from the spot, blending into the darkness, avoiding the attack of Thor's hammer.
"Bang!", the next moment, Ah Fu's body suddenly appeared in front of Thor and kicked Thor away, but when he was chasing after the victory, Ah Fu was surprised to find that there was a surge of thunder power on his feet, slowing down his attack rhythm.
"Zizizizi!" The dark power and the thunder power were constantly colliding, and soon, the dark power wiped out the thunder power on the spot, but at this time, Thor's hammer had already flown back to Ah Fu's direction, and finally took this opportunity to successfully hit Ah Fu's body.
"Bang!" With a sound, facing the heavy blow of Thor's hammer, Ahfu's body also flew out in a mess and fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, Thor controlled Thor's hammer to fall on Ahfu's body, and directly used the characteristics of Thor's hammer to suppress Ahfu like a five-finger mountain.
"Huh?!" Ahfu frowned under the mask, and his dark power burst out, trying to lift Thor's hammer on the spot, but he was surprised to find that he couldn't shake Thor's hammer at all. The weight contained in Thor's hammer was far beyond Ahfu's imagination!
"Haha, just relying on you, you also want to move Thor's hammer? Are you worthy? Do you have the qualifications?" Thor came to Ahfu's side, looked at Ahfu and sneered. He didn't think Ahfu was qualified to pick up Thor's hammer and break free!
