Chapter 302
"The Rocket spaceships of Project Looking Glass!"
Stephanie Malick's eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly ran towards the wreckage.
Su Quan strolled along unhurriedly, simultaneously releasing his Psychic Abilities to lock onto the underground Hive.
A slight smile played on his lips as he activated the Psychic Power.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the Hive lying resting in the underground space suddenly trembled.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Cellular Parasitism (Hive)"
Su Quan curled his lip. This was one of the core capabilities of the Hive, allowing him to leave his original host at any time, enter a new host's body, and obtain the host's memories.
Because the Hive itself is a parasite, as long as it has enough hosts, it can live forever and become stronger and stronger!
He's somewhat like a weaker version of the Mutants Apocalypse.
Apocalypse also achieves immortality by constantly Body Replacement.
However, Apocalypse can gain the mutant abilities of the other person by Body Replacement, while Hive can only gain the memories of the other person by Body Replacement. Therefore, Hive has mastered the abilities of ordinary humans, such as multiple languages, fighting techniques, and technology.
Moreover, putting aside the strength of this ability, I simply cannot accept the idea of parasitizing and Body Replacement, and there is no need to do so!
So, this is a useless ability that will never be used!
"Again!"
Looking at the Hive in the underground space, which was full of doubt, Su Quan waited a moment and then launched another Mind Stone attack.
"Buzz!"
The Hive trembled again.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Drop reward: Parasite Projection and Feedback (Hive)"
This ability is pretty good; the projected parasites can feed on the target and heal themselves by feeding on the target.
Even bones destroyed by explosions can regenerate; once they've been gnawed to a certain extent, they're not even afraid of nuclear bombs.
In the TV series, the Hive can project a large number of parasites from its entire body, directly devouring all life around it.
Furthermore, the projected parasites can be used for defense!
"Huh? There seems to be an underground entrance over there?"
Stephanie Malick, observing her surroundings, spotted the entrance to the underground space not far away and ran intently to Su Quan.
Do you think there might be someone inside?
Su Quan said nonchalantly, "We'll find out when we go down and take a look."
Stephanie Malick nodded, cautiously took out a gun, and walked over.
"Snap!"
The lid was opened, Stephanie Malick cautiously peeked inside.
It was dark inside, and there was a ladder that went straight up and down. All signs indicated that someone might have lived there, or had lived there before.
"I'll go down first." Stephanie Malick had no intention of letting Su Quan be the first to go down, so she said this and turned to go down the ladder.
As she descended and gradually disappeared into the darkness, Su Quan snapped his the Snap silently!
"Smack!"
The Mirror Dimension appeared silently and without a trace in the corner of the underground space, staring intently at Stephanie Malick's Hive.
"Call out--"
The Mirror Dimension attacked the Hive, and before the Hive could even react, it was knocked into the dimensional space.
"Who!"
The Hive in the Mirror Dimension cried out in alarm, but received no response.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Surrender Persuasion (Hive)"
I finally got the ability I wanted the most. Although it is called "persuasion to surrender", it actually makes the Inhuman unconditionally obey my orders and work for me without affecting my own thoughts and Willpower.
This kind of persuasion to surrender is absolute; there is no possibility of betrayal or being swayed by others.
Furthermore, those Inhuman are persuaded to surrender will immediately learn how to control their abilities!
However, nothing is absolute!
There's a theory, though its accuracy is uncertain, that every Inhuman is created with a specific mission; for example, the Hive's mission is to control the Inhuman army.
There is an Inhuman named Lash whose mission is to find those Inhuman have successfully transformed and to determine whether they are worthy of living.
One of his abilities is to forcibly awaken Inhuman have been persuaded to surrender by the Hive.
"Smack!"
The flashlight's beam illuminated the dark underground space. Stephanie Malick looked around, her expression a mixture of excitement and disappointment.
What's exciting is that there are traces of human habitation here. Many of the items were probably taken down from the spacecraft by astronauts, and judging from the layout, they must have lived here for a long time.
Disappointingly, no one is here now. I don't know if they just happened to be absent or if they've already...
Moreover, she found no trace of the Hydra God.
"What do we do now?" Stephanie Malick asked Su Quan with a heavy heart, taking off her heavy protective suit.
Su Quan shrugged and said indifferently, "It's up to you. I'm only responsible for bringing you here and bringing you back."
Stephanie Malick said resentfully, "Can't you help me?"
"Why should I help you with what you're saying?"
"I'll stay with you no matter what..."
"Is this a condition? I thought you liked me and took the initiative to be with me!"
Stephanie Malick's expression became even more resentful. Of course, she knew that Su Quan wasn't that naive, and she knew that this kind of thing didn't even count as a condition, but there was no need to be so direct and indifferent, was there?
Even if I didn't do anything special, I must have put in a lot of effort, right? Don't you have any gratitude at all?!
Having realized Su Quan's true nature of being ruthless and unreliable, Stephanie Malick had no choice but to find a solution herself.
The outside environment is too harsh, and she doesn't know how big this planet is. All she can do now is hope to find useful clues here.
Stephanie Malick rummaged through the drawers, checking the things around her, while Su Quan silently replaced himself with an illusion and entered the Mirror Dimension without a sound.
Inside the Mirror Dimension, the Hive warily watched Su Quan as he entered, though they still didn't know who they were.
However, it is obvious that the previous headaches and the fact that the other party secretly brought him to this strange space without telling his companions must have had ulterior motives!
"Who are you!" the Hive asked in a deep voice.
Su Quan shook his head at him. His current host was astronaut Will Daniels, the same one that Jemma Simmons met when she came to this planet in the TV series.
Will Daniels is dead. From beginning to end, Jemma Simmons saw and knew was the Hive!
It has to be said that Hive's acting skills and scheming are really impressive. He managed to interfere with the deep friendship between the two scientists. He might even have gained the first achievement of being Jemma Simmons's first wife!
Although such a thing is impossible now, Jemma Simmons had long ago gotten herself into the Zombie Virus researching the Quantum Realm of the Zombie Universe.
But thinking about it, I still feel a little uneasy!
"My name is Will, and I am an astronaut. You..." Hive spoke again when he did not reply.
Before I could finish speaking, the other person raised their hand and snapped their the Snap casually.
"Smack!"
Green flames suddenly burst into flames on the Hive, and the burning pain made him abandon his plan to disguise his identity. With a wave of his hand, several parasites crawled out of his body and pounced on Su Quan.
"Buzz!"
Without warning, the same flames ignited on the parasites, and within seconds they were reduced to ashes.
The Hive, now resembling Human Torch, roared in grief and anger as it charged towards Su Quan.
"Why! Why!!! Why..."
With a thud, the impotent and furious Hive reluctantly collapsed to its knees. Then, a strange and scorching green flame completely burned the body, which should have died long ago, to ashes.
Watching the flames gradually die down, Su Quan snorted and sneered, "You don't think I didn't notice, do you?"
There was no response, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Su Quan scoffed and said mockingly, "This is Mirror Dimension space. Under normal circumstances, only mages can freely enter and exit. However, even mages can only enter and exit within the scope of Earth. This place is already outside the solar system, so no mages would come here."
"In your current state, you probably won't survive long without a host to parasitize, right? Come out, and I'll give you a quick death!"
The Hive isn't dead yet, or rather, it's not completely dead!
His true form is a parasite; as long as one parasite remains alive, he will not die.
