Thud, thud, thud.
With heavy steps, Schmidt walked step by step towards the deepest core of the Hydra base. This is the core place of Hydra, like the Winter Castle in the Arctic, which has always been under Schmidt's private jurisdiction.
This place was not connected to the external network and had a completely independent power supply system. From a physical point of view, it was completely cut off from the outside world. And this place also carries the biggest secret of Hydra.
Dong ~ The high-wattage light bulbs were switched on one by one. This was a huge showroom. To be precise, it was a display room full of petri dishes! It was just like what Captain Rogers and Logen had seen in the Swiss Eagle Castle. (Note: For details of this, see Volume VI, Fear and Mutation, Volume VIII, A War Seventy Years Ago, and Chapter IX, The Atlanteans.)
However, at the time, there were rows of Atlanteans in the petri dish. They were the citizens of Atlantis, the remnants of the previous civilization. In a way, they're like the Inhumans.
This time, the petri dish did not contain Atlanteans. Instead, it contained something even more terrifying. Although they were of different genders, their faces were highly similar. Red Skull's terrifying bright red skull face! (Note: As mentioned before, Schmidt came here the first time he returned to Bermuda. The entire basement was filled with his clones.)
Yes, this is an uninterrupted research that has lasted for seventy years. At the end of the war, when the Nazi Third Reich was about to collapse, the supreme scientist of Hydra, Schmidt, pinned his hopes on illusory superstition. He gathered a group of Nordic wizards to try and summon something.
But in the end, they didn't summon anything, only a hammer that fell from the sky. Ah, there was also a Frost Giant that came with it. Rogers and the leader of the Atlanteans, Namo, had discovered this matter together. At that time, they had both thought that the Frost Giant that Schmidt had created was the ultimate weapon he had summoned. (For details, see Volume VI, Chapter 10, The Factory Attacked)
However, the real ultimate weapon was actually that hammer. However, the origin of this hammer was not ordinary, even some of the silverware that it dropped caused the Mutants to go on a rampage. Because Schmidt had used it to study these special silverware (the hammer was too strong and could not be separated).
At that time, when they were on the verge of defeat, Schmidt had ordered the silverware to be melted into ordinary silver plates as a disguise. However, when the Eagle Fortress was breached, the disguised silverware was melted down as spoils of war and turned into some silverware badges that became souvenirs of the soldiers. (For details, see Volume V, The Hero's Path, Chapter 35, The Silver Necklace.
(For details, see Volume V, The Hero's Path, Chapter 35. Silver Necklace. At that time, Li Jie, Professor Charles, and the others had put in a lot of effort to quell the chaos. (For details, see Volume VI, Chapter 3, You.)
This extraordinary hammer actually came from the previous generation of Asgard's Father of the Gods, Odin's elder brother. (The King, The King, Li Li, Li, and Dragon Li., Li, Li. (Frost,) The Giant, and, and, and, God, Ser., God, Thu, and, and, d., and., The God of Hell, world, has.,
It was a terrifying artifact, and Kur was a terrifying person. He had once set off the first Dusk of the Gods, causing countless Gods to fall. It was the Twilight of the Gods that turned Earth into a land without gods. Although there were still myths and legends on this planet, the Divine Kingdom on Earth had been completely destroyed.
The impact of that war was so wide that it did not only affect the gods, but even the people on Earth who were far away were also affected.
In human myths and legends, they had different names: the fall of the gods, the collapse of Olympus, the War of the Gods, and so on.
But no matter how the name changed, it was still the same thing. Kur led his army and slaughtered the gods like a madman. In the end, Odin went to the Endless Sea in search of the Fountain of Wisdom to increase his strength.
In the end, he obtained the Fountain of Wisdom at the cost of his eyes and gathered another group of forces to defeat Kur. Before Kur died (?) He shouted that he would return one day, and that the day of his return would be the true Twilight of the Gods!
So was Kohl dead or not? This was a question mark. (For more information, please refer to the previous chapter...)
And Schmidt had always kept this secret personally, including the Winter Castle in the Arctic, which was the place where Captain Rogers first fought after waking up. Although they captured the Winter Castle, all the important information at that time was transferred by Schmidt. Including some secret research that had been going on in the Winter Castle for more than 70 years.
However, the information in the Winter Castle could be transferred, but some things could not be transferred, and that was the terrible hammer. Perhaps it was something common among the Asgardian hammers.
Perhaps they had organized a club of "You Can't Lift Me If You're Not My Master". Thor's hammer was of this virtue, and so was Kur's hammer. Anyway, this hammer could not be transferred or moved.
Schmidt could not, and neither could Tony Stark. In fact, in the confidential internal documents of the Illuminati, the Serpent Hammer in the Arctic had always been an extremely confidential matter.
It was guarded 24/7 by Tony's Aqua Battle Armor to prevent any mishaps from happening to it. This thing was a bit like a terrible explosive, but it lacked a detonator.
In fact, Odin was also monitoring this hammer, and he had added a lot of seals to it. Whether it was Thor or Li Jie who went to Asgard to attend Logie's triumphant ceremony last time, they all told Odin to find a way to get the hammer away.
But Odin said that there was nothing he could do. This hammer was made by Odin's father. At that time, it was given to Kur as a symbol of the royal guard's inheritance. There was a taboo on it, and that was that no one other than Kur could lift it.
Both Ancient One and Odin had studied this matter, and it was impossible to move the hammer. It seemed to have grown roots on the Earth. If they wanted to move it, they would have to move the Earth's core along with it. Odin and Ancient One could do it – remove the core of a planet – but in that case, the Earth would be finished.
So it was really a troublesome matter. But the only good news was that no one had found a way to use this thing. In addition, Odin repeatedly confirmed that Kur could not appear again, so the hammer was still left on the Earth.
Li Jie and the others had already prepared for the worst and accelerated the cosmic era. Maybe in a hundred years, humans would abandon the Earth, or most people would migrate to space.
At that time, Odin would come and move this thing along with the Earth's core. Of course, they would have to find a planet's core similar to the Earth's core and move it in. They just didn't know if Ancient One would still be alive at that time. Without the help of the Sorcerer Supreme, Odin couldn't complete such a big surgical operation.
And now Schmidt stood in this vast space and sighed. He had been studying this thing for a long time. Even during his years of being frozen, this research had not stopped. He had found the key, but he had never opened Pandora's box.
Because Schmidt knew what was hidden inside when the box was opened.
But looking at the collapsed base outside, all his painstaking efforts and efforts would go down the drain. The Earth might be destroyed? Who cares, I can't rule the Earth anyway! Die? Let's all die together!
PS: Don't complain that there are too many notes in this chapter, I can't do anything about it. This story line is buried very deep and very scattered. It's many branches connected together and finally intertwined into a big main story. Many of the plot foreshadowing began more than a million or even two million words ago. The time interval is nearly a year, I guess many people may have forgotten.
