Chapter 401 Unkillable Creatures

"Tony, Tony..."

In the Hydra base, the call from Captain America kept ringing in his ears, bringing Tony back from his hallucinatory thoughts.

After coming back to his senses, he looked at the messy research room in front of him and Mark48 who was standing by and doing his duty faithfully. Tony was silent for a long time before he connected to the contact device. He looked at the data displayed on the computer screen in front of him and murmured the answer: " Captain, it looks like we are in big trouble..."

…

"How is it going?"

New York, Avengers Tower.

Steve looked at the frustrated Mr. Fantastic Reed and asked.

"same as usual."

Recalling the somewhat unhappy conversation between himself and Johnny, Reed couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, saying: "What happened in the Hydra base was a big blow to Johnny. I I didn’t even dare to reveal the contents of the information to him, lest he do anything impulsive again.”

Although he was talking about Johnny, the blow Reed received was actually not much smaller than Johnny's. It was just because of his relatively restrained personality that he did not lose control like the Human Torch.

"Doctor, believe me..."

Noticing the emotional change on Reed's face, Steve's expression changed. He thought about the information the Avengers obtained from the Hydra base, and his mind flashed, and then he comforted him with a firm tone: " No matter what kind of opponent we face this time, the Avengers will save Susan, I promise."

"..."

Faced with Captain America's assurance, Reed's expression fell silent for a moment.

Judging from the information obtained from the Hydra base, Reed is not optimistic about Susan's possible next encounter.

It is even possible that Susan has...

However, regardless of his extravagant hopes or unwillingness to accept it, Reed always maintained a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Susan was still alive and had not been eaten by the monster.

Therefore, after a long silence, Reed took a deep breath and looked up at Captain America in front of him: "Not just the Avengers, Captain, but also the Fantastic Four."

…

"NATO only gave us a three-day deadline..."

"The problems caused by Straker in Europe are no less than those in New York. NATO believes that there are shadows of Hydra behind at least ten wars. They hope to know about the existence of Hydra through Straker's mouth. There are other hidden organizations within NATO, so we don’t have enough time.”

"In fact, not only NATO, but also the United Nations organizations also hope to be able to share..."

In the interrogation room on the third floor of Avengers Tower, Agent Hill looked at the messages from NATO and made a report to Nick Fury in front of him.

"It seems that our prisoner is more popular than imagined."

After hearing the intelligence from Agent Hill, Nick Fury turned to look at Strucker in the interrogation room. A strange look flashed in his only intact single eye, and he spoke in a low tone.

"I think it's because he has done too many bad things, so everyone wants to catch him."

After hearing Nick Fury's words, Tony turned his head and glanced at Strucker behind the glass, raised his eyebrows and corrected him.

"No matter what," after hearing the conversation between the two, Natasha, a former S.H.I.E.L.D. super agent on the side, spoke. She looked at Strucker, who looked calm in the interrogation room, and said, "The rest of us Time is running out, we must get the information about the Hydra base from him as soon as possible, especially the information related to the [Ultimate Creature]."

"[Ultimate Creature]."

Hearing the name that appeared from Natasha's mouth, Nick Fury repeated it to himself and looked back at Strucker behind the glass.

Strucker, who was in the interrogation room, raised his head as if he noticed something, pointed in the direction of Nick Fury and the others, grinning with a rather strange expression on his face.

…

"So, Baron Strucker..."

In the interrogation room, Natasha looked at Straker who was buckled on the chair, raised her slender eyebrows, and used her professional abilities as a former SHIELD super agent: "As an old rival, I know S.H.I.E.L.D.’s tactics won’t have much effect on you, so let’s put aside these time-consuming and laborious processes and tell me what [Ultimate Creature] is…”

As she spoke, Natasha's eyes fell firmly on Strucker's expression, judging from the subtle changes in the other person's face to determine the accuracy of the information the other party said next.

His expression twitched unconsciously. Faced with Natasha's question, Strack subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his aching brain, but the handcuffs on his wrists directly prevented him from doing so. Unconsciously twisting his shoulders, Strack looked at Natasha in front of him and asked expressionlessly: "[Ultimate Creature], I don't know what you are talking about?"

"Mr. Strack, you should know that such lies will not bring you any benefits."

Staring closely at Strack's face in front of her, Natasha casually took out the evidence she had prepared and pushed one of the photos with a blurry image in front of him.

"This is information obtained from the Hydra base. It shows the appearance of the [Ultimate Creature] and the damage caused to Hydra. More than two-thirds of the Hydra soldiers died in the [Ultimate Creature] In the hands of the Avengers, it is precisely because of this accident that you will be unable to parry when facing the Avengers. Although, even at your peak, I don’t think you people will be the Avengers’ opponents.”

He lowered his head and looked at the photo Natasha handed him.

In the photo, the tall, blurry figure seemed to instantly arouse some kind of fear in Strack's heart. The originally indifferent expression on his face changed slightly, and his breathing became rapid.

Noticing the changes in Strucker, the look in Natasha's eyes changed, and she immediately seized the opportunity and started asking questions.

"It seems that the figure in the photo has brought you quite bad memories, Mr. Strack, can you tell me why?"

"..."

Hearing Natasha's questioning, Strack felt the pain in his brain become a little more intense, as if there was really a hand moving in his head.

"You have no idea what you are facing..."

Raising his head, Strucker gasped violently, looked past Natasha facing her at the Avengers outside the glass behind her, and said in a hoarse voice: "[The Ultimate Creature] is a real monster. A terrifying undead monster inadvertently released from the meteorite by Hydra..."

In the interrogation room, as Strucker described, his aching mind could not help but recall the final battle scene between Hydra and the [Ultimate Creature] in the Hydra base.

…

Rumble——

Amidst the huge explosions, the entire Hydra base shook tremendously.

During the shock, a large number of cracks climbed onto the building of the base. Doctor Doom covered his broken arm and looked at the location where Wanda was attacking. Through the power of the scepter, Wanda's ability almost reached the level she could exert. At the limit, a large amount of red energy formed a terrifying beam of light and fell on [Kaz]. The power generated at this moment even exceeded the high-temperature power formed by Johnny when Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four fought before.

A few seconds later, as the earthquake and dust caused by Wanda's terrifying power dispersed, the huge hole on the laboratory floor, which was more than ten meters deep, was revealed.

"this……"

The destruction caused by Wanda's power shocked everyone in the laboratory. However, when they thought that the target of the attack was [Kaz] as the [ultimate creature], everyone seemed less optimistic.

With the red light flashing in his eyes, a piece of charred black shapeless charcoal was lifted out from the bottom of the pit under the influence of Wanda's power.

"Is this the last remaining part of [Kaz]?"

Seeing the figure in front of them that could no longer be seen as humanoid, with only fist-sized char left, Doctor Doom and the others finally felt a little relieved.

"It looks like he really died from the final attack."

Under the steel mask, Doctor Doom used his remaining arm to generate electricity and hit the charcoal in front of him. Looking at the completely shattered charcoal, the last trace of vigilance in Doctor Doom's eyes disappeared.

After hearing Doctor Doom's judgment, the red light in Wanda's eyes flashed. As her mind relaxed, the steady stream of power in the scepter in her hand also stopped. The next moment, her whole person seemed to have lost all power. Generally, he staggered and fell backward.

"Wanda!"

Looking at the crumbling Wanda, Quicksilver let out an exclamation, propped up his body and wanted to rush over.

However, the injury on his leg made it difficult for him to perform even the simplest movements.

Fortunately, at the moment Wanda was about to fall, Susan, who was standing next to her, stretched out her hands and immediately supported the weak Wanda.

"Thanks……"

Looking down at Susan behind her, a complicated look flashed across Wanda's face, and she finally thanked her softly in an undetectable voice.

"Sir!"

With the "death" of the [Ultimate Creature], the Hydra soldiers who were unable to intervene due to the battle beyond the level finally took up their courage. They swept through the huge crater created by Wanda's blow, and flashed in their eyes. With a look of awe, he immediately came to Straker, waiting for instructions.

Looking at the Hydra soldiers in front of him, a trace of displeasure flashed in Straker's heart at their cowering appearance.

But he remembered the terrifying posture shown by [Kazi] before, suppressed his inner dissatisfaction, showed an indifferent expression on his face, scanned the densely packed soldiers and researchers' corpses in the laboratory, and ordered: "Confirm The status of casualties, collect the bodies of these fallen soldiers..."

"Yes, sir."

Following Strucker's instructions, the remaining Hydra soldiers in the base began to collect the corpses of their companions in the laboratory in order.

Although most of the corpses lying on the ground were companions of the soldiers collecting the corpses, there was not much sadness on their faces. Under Hydra's brainwashing, these soldiers' feelings for each other became extremely indifferent, and they did not establish much affection even if they were in the same base.

Turning over the corpse of a researcher lying in front of him, a Hydra soldier lowered his head and swept the blood on the chest of the corpse with a cold expression on his face.

"Um?"

He turned his head and was about to clean up the body on the other side when he suddenly noticed a slight change in the blood on the chest of the researcher.

"Attention, there is a situation here..."

Noticing this strange situation, the soldier instinctively turned the submachine gun hanging on his chest towards the corpse on the ground, and at the same time, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly.

However, the soldier had not yet fully informed him of his discovery.

The next moment, the blood in the researcher's chest suddenly jumped up as if alive and rushed towards the soldier's body.

ah--

A shrill scream came from his mouth, and as the blood seeped into his body, the Hydra soldier felt that his entire body began to melt, as if a big mouth was constantly gnawing inside his body, devouring his own flesh. In just a few seconds, his entire body was devoured and empty.

"What?!"

The entire process, from when the soldier discovered the abnormality to when the blood penetrated into the body, only took a few seconds.

When Wanda and others reacted, they saw not far away, the skin of the screaming soldier was torn apart like his clothes, and then [Kaz] reappeared in front of them intact.

As Li Ran judged, the power of the mind gem in the scepter has far exceeded the endurance limit of the [ultimate creature]. As one of the six most powerful gems in the universe, even if it has not fully exploded with its full power, The attack power generated at that moment also posed a fatal threat to the clone [Kaz].

Although, the moment he came into contact with the attack, [Kaz] desperately tried to evolve, trying to find the ability to withstand this power through this method.

But there is no doubt that [Kaz], as the [ultimate creature], has the genetic information of the evolution of all creatures on earth, but it is still no match for the energy of gems.

In just one second, all the protection established by [Kazi] was destroyed. Even the protective armor he simulated that was comparable to diamonds could not support Wanda's power for one second.

Seeing that he was about to be wiped out by this terrifying power, Li Ran made a prompt decision and asked [Kazi] to change his response method, from resisting at the beginning to escaping.

Using her powerful evolutionary ability to generate layers of armor as a barrier, her body controlled a trace of blood to drill into the ground, transforming into an earthworm-like creature that moved rapidly, and finally got into the laboratory for research before Wanda blasted the ground to pieces. Among the dead bodies of people.
