The Inhumans were a very mysterious race. Compared to the mutant society, which had been completely enlightened, very few ordinary people knew about the existence of the Inhumans. Compared to the mutants who wanted to have a place in human society, the Inhumans showed no interest in the human world.
This was probably due to the fact that the Inhumans were once the ruling class of humans. At the very least, when Honeycomb claimed to be the gods and ruled Ancient Egypt, the Inhumans were the rightful rulers. After the decline of civilization, the Inhumans who survived the cruel war chose to live in seclusion. But frankly speaking, there were still many scattered Inhumans in this world.
They didn't even know that they had a race. But to be honest, the biggest difference between mutants and Inhumans was their birth. Mutants were born due to genetic mutation. This mutation was irregular, and no one knew who the next mutant would be. As for the Inhumans … as the war machines left behind by the ancient Kerry Empire, they naturally had their own set of genetic activation methods.
In other words, the birth of Inhumans was controllable!
Europe, Santorini Island. Every day, this holy land of travel welcomed many tourists. They carried backpacks and wore sunglasses, looking for the meaning of traveling in this beautiful place. Some came to relax, some came to experience, and some came to hunt for beauties. Well … they were all scumbags.
But apart from the above, there was a last type of people who came here to work. They were the most miserable.
Swoosh!
A handsome black SUV drew a beautiful arc on the road and finally stopped steadily above an ancient castle. Wearing handsome sunglasses, Robbie Reyes and the old Carter Slay jumped out of the car. There was no need to say much about the young man. After adapting to Ghost Rider's strength, he appeared more and more calm in the face of anything. As for the old man, he also looked good. At the very least, he was in a good mental state.
"Listen, I promised Fury that I'd help you."
Old Carter looked around and walked up to Robbie. He pointed at his chest and said bluntly, "This is my promise. I'll keep it. Even if Fury is dead, remember this. Next time, you're not allowed to appear in my house directly. You're now stray dogs. I don't want to drag my family into danger because of you!"
A dangerous flame flashed in the old man's eyes. He looked at Robbie Reyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember?"
"Do you remember?"
"Don't worry, Carter. It was just an accident."
Reyes has been with SHIELD for a long time since he became Ghost Rider. After carrying out many missions under Fury's instructions, his style of doing things has also been tainted with a trace of agent characteristics. He looked around, patted the angry old knight on the shoulder, and lowered his voice.
"Alright, don't be angry. This incident happened suddenly. But speaking of which, is this the place?"
Robert pointed at the half-collapsed ruins in front of him and asked, "Have you gone in to see?"
"Yes, it was blocked by stones, but after I broke the stones, I saw a man-made crypt. Just as described in the documents you gave me, it was full of special civilization symbols. It didn't look like it was left behind by Earthlings."
Old Carter straightened his clothes and threw a simple hand-drawn map to Robbie.
"Follow this road. It's very deep inside. Good luck … I'm leaving. Don't disturb me again."
With that, the old man left in the car without any reluctance. He was also half a SHIELD member, and he knew that SHIELD was now completely overtaken by Hydra. After finally finding his direct bloodline, Carter Slade didn't want to get involved in the confrontation between these agents who were unwilling to fail and Hydra. It was already an unexpected surprise that he was willing to help them find something this time.
Looking at the off-road vehicle leaving at a faster speed, Robert scratched his chin. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, he took out a locator from his pocket and threw it on the ground. Fifteen minutes later, an invisible Quinjet appeared in the sky above him. The hot air from the thrusters blew the surrounding weeds and trees. The Quinjet landed on the ground, and the hatch opened. Black Widow and Captain America jumped out, one on the left and one on the right. Then, Agent Barton, the newly recruited Level 3 Agent Skye, and a person who should not be here, followed by Agent Barton, the newly recruited Level 3 Agent Skye, and another person who should not be here.
"Hey, isn't this Robbie?"
Coulson, who was wearing sunglasses, seemed very happy to see an acquaintance. He waved to Robbie, but the latter's expression was a little ugly.
"Why is he here?"
Robbie looked at Captain America, who patted him on the shoulder and whispered:
"Don't worry about that, he is trustworthy, at least for now. Let's focus more on the mission. We brought Skye and the Obelisk. Are you sure this is the place?"
Robbie glanced at Coulson, then handed the map in his hand to Steve. "Old Carter personally confirmed that the Cree ruins are below."
"Good! Then let's go in! But I hope this thing left by Fury can give us the power to turn defeat into victory. Skye, keep up! "
"Yes, Captain."
The mysterious level-three agent responded, hugging the silver-white suitcase tightly in his arms and following closely behind Captain America. Coulson looked at the suitcase, and his eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. He silently followed the crowd into the ruins.
A group of guys with special purposes sneaked into the ruins shrouded by the collapsed castle under the cover of the dusk night. It seems that they are going to do something special and strange, and given the bad situation they are facing at present, what they are doing is likely to be related to the confrontation with Hydra. Obviously, they are planning a desperate counterattack.
However, just 10 minutes after they entered the ruins, in the completely dark night, more than a dozen modified vehicles quietly stopped on the ground outside the ruins. Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, under the command of Rum, the former commander of SHIELD's Special Operations Forces, moved quickly towards the ruins.
Beside Rum, Daniel Whitehall, who was wearing round-rimmed glasses, looked at the ruins in front of him with a calm joy in his eyes. Beside him stood a black-haired young man in a strange robe. His robe had all kinds of strange pendants. At first glance, he looked like a person who had transmigrated from ancient times to modern times. Unlike Daniel's joy, this young man's black eyes shone with coldness and hidden desire.
"Why don't you just grab the Terregen Crystal?"
He said unceremoniously: "You don't need to act at all, I'll teach you how to open it! This is a sacred object belonging to my race, and it shouldn't be in the hands of humans! "
His tone was full of disdain for humans and superiority of his own race. Whitehall was not angry. He took off his glasses and strolled towards the ruins. He said softly:
"The Obelisk is a mysterious object I found in an Austrian tomb when I was young. My mentor told me that it has the power to interpret death. In the glorious era of Hydra, I commanded the best scientists in the world to study it, but today, 70 years later, I am still eager to see its secrets."
He looked back at the young man and said in a deep voice:
"This is the persistence of an old man, and with all due respect, Sir Maximus, before I see the substantial results of my cooperation with you, I believe in the results of my decades of research and my eyes. Whether or not the Obelisk has anything to do with the Terregen Crystal you speak of, this will have to be tested … Tests need test subjects, and I don't want my loyal subordinates to touch it."
"Stupid! You don't understand the true role of the Terregen Crystal! "
The eyes of the young man named Maximus flashed with suppressed anger, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. He followed behind Whitehall and walked down the simple suspension bridge set up by the soldiers. As he walked, he said:
"In the great Attilan, every Terregen Crystal is a sacred object worshipped by the royal family. Every child must come into contact with the Terregen Crystal when they are born to receive the power bestowed by the heavens. It can turn a weak mortal into a warrior who can wield an unknown power. It can also turn the strongest warrior into a warrior who can wield an unknown power in an instant. Improper use of the Terregen Crystal will lead to disaster … You had better listen to me, Earthling, when it comes to the Terregen Crystal.
Yes, Maximus is the Inhuman from Attilan that Gideon mentioned. In the beginning, Gideon thought that he was a rare commodity, but after coming into contact with him, the Hydra boss realized that this was a member of the Inhuman royal family without any abilities. His purpose for coming to Earth was very simple. He wanted to redo the ritual that the Inhumans would perform when they were born to try to obtain abilities.
He did not know where he heard about the Obelisk in Whitehall's hands, so he came uninvited. Unfortunately, the cautious Whitehall did not trust him and only brought him with him. The Obelisk was used as bait by Whitehall and was thrown to the fleeing SHIELD agents to unearth the true secrets inside.
Now, this "fishing" has reached the final stage.
At the moment when Hydra's soldiers poured into the vast underground ruins like mercury, in the deepest part of the ruins, in a stone cave full of various alien characters and symbols, Barton and Black Widow were examining the dusty altar that had been sealed for thousands of years. Captain America and Coulson stood on the periphery, and the third-level agent, Skye, was carrying a silver-white box in his hand, with visible tension.
"With all due respect, I don't know what you're doing here, but there are people outside!"
Coulson pushed his glasses and said in a deep voice, "And it looks like they're not friends, so no matter what you're doing, please hurry!"
After that, two dark green fireballs appeared in his hands. He turned to look at Captain America and Robbie and nodded to them:
"Three directions, stop them first, there are a lot of people, you guys be careful!"
Coulson walked into the darkness. Robbie moved his neck, and the Hellfire spread from his feet to his whole body. He clenched the demonized dagger in his hand and walked into the darkness on the other side. Captain America held the shield and looked back at Skye, who was squatting on the ground and opening the suitcase. He saw the strange black Obelisk placed in the suitcase. When Skye's fingers touched the surface of the Obelisk, a layer of pulsating golden runes shone on the surface of the Obelisk.
"This is probably Fury's backup plan … I hope it works."
Captain America pulled out the modified fighting stick from his arms and was the last one to enter the darkness. There, bullets flew and screams sounded. Obviously, the battle outside had begun.
Compared with the well-trained agents, Third Level Agent Skye, who joined SHIELD a week before its destruction, is a complete rookie. Hearing the crossfire coming from outside, her fingers holding the obelisk trembled a little. Black Widow held Skye's shoulder and nodded to Barton. The latter took the bow from his back and rushed into the battlefield outside.
"Listen to me, girl … don't be afraid."
Agent Romanov hugged the trembling Skye from behind and whispered in her ear, "You can touch it, it means you've been chosen … It's calling you. This is the power you were born with. And your mother, you already know how she died, right?"
"It's Whitehall!"
Skye, who was only 21 years old, had a flash of hatred in her eyes. Black Widow said in a deep voice:
"Someone once told me that if hope can't support you, then let hatred drive you. You need power to avenge your mother, and the power is in your hands. Go … open it!"
She took two steps back and retreated to the edge of the stone room:
"Go, Skye, bravely welcome your new life and bring us hope!"
A few seconds later …
"Boom!"
A terrible shock wave rushed from the inside of the closed stone room along the ground to the periphery. Coulson, who was using demonic fire to fight against the Hydra soldiers, could feel the destructive power of the shock wave behind him without looking back. Without saying a word, the demonic fire surged all over his body as he tore through the Hydra line of defense and ran towards the exit of the bunker. The energy level of the shock wave explosion was enough to destroy the crypt and bury everyone in it.
Carter had emphasized that the ruins were very deep, spreading to at least 30 meters underground. The collapse and burial of stones at this height meant certain death, even for Coulson.
At the entrance of the ruins, Maximus, a member of the Inhuman Royal Family, clenched his fists like a drug addict. He closed his eyes and sniffed the special smell, his whole body trembling.
"This is it … this is the feeling. The Terregen Crystal, the sacred relic of the Inhumans. After thousands of years, it has been activated again!"
Whitehall, who had seen the power of the obelisk with his own eyes, clenched his fists. Behind him, more than 30 ferocious large-scale war mechs were ready. This old man, who was actually over 90 years old, had not been so excited for a long time. His expression at this moment was just like his younger days, when he was fanatical.
Even his voice had become shrill.
"Get it back for me! At all costs! "
