"Good afternoon, dear old friend. It's such a pleasure to see you alive. How about it, the S.H.I.E.L.D. people haven't found you recently, have they?"
While waiting for Coulson to arrive, Daniel·Whitehall dialed the number of another Hydra executive.
After all, although they have their own spheres of influence, they are a hundred times stronger at working together than United States's various intelligence agencies.
Although there are occasional stabbings in the back and adding insult to injury, these are all after the other party fails.
Especially when a certain "Heads of the Serpent" makes a big move, the other "Heads of the Serpent" will cooperate with its actions and share the resources at hand.
"Looking for me? I am a member of the predecessor International Security Council. Behind me are most of the conservative forces of Europe, as well as a capital group worth hundreds of billions of euros. Give Coulson ten courages, and he would not dare to do anything to me. Don't forget, I am Gideon Malik, and it was my family that founded Hydra."
The old man with his meticulously combed hair on the screen raised his glass and took an elegant sip of dark red wine.
His movements, language and temperament are full of the arrogance of the upper-class European aristocracy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Obviously, this is the guy who appeared in the third season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and tried every means to bring Inhumans-Hive back to Earth.
"Haha, you are as proud and confident as ever."
Daniel·Whitehall couldn't help but smile playfully when he heard these rather boastful words.
Are you talking about seniority in Hydra and showing off your family and ancestors?
I just don't know what it means!
Since Red Skull became the top leader, Hydra has always been an organization that puts its strength first.
No matter who you are, as long as you have enough ability and skill, you can continue to climb up.
Otherwise, how could a "junior" like Alexander Pierce climb ahead of those old people?
To put it bluntly, he didn't successfully turn S.H.I.E.L.D. into Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D., becoming the "Heads of the Serpent" with the most rights and resources.
Of course, Gideon Malik is not completely without pride.
At least for the sake of the founder family of Hydra, whoever takes power in the end will not embarrass them too much, and will even give them a relatively high status and continue to maintain a semi-independent state.
This is also the reason why Malick family was able to fall twice in Hydra without being brought out for liquidation.
Except for a few Heads of the Serpent at the top, other Hydra members at the bottom have no idea that this traditional politician who looks "highly respected" on the surface is actually a branch of Hydra, and can even be said to be the longest and oldest branch.
"You specially made a video connection with me to talk about this, right?" Gideon Malik narrowed his eyes and asked.
Since the fall of the powerful Alexander Pierce, he has integrated some of Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D.'s original forces in Europe, and has become Hydra's most influential figure in the Western Europe region. He knows very well what Daniel·Whitehall is doing.
Obelisk!
Inhumans!
There is also the Inhumans king who was exiled to other planets - Hive.
These are completely consistent with the long-cherished wishes that Malick family people have worked hard to realize for generations.
So in the eyes of Gideon, Daniel·Whitehall is a fool who knows nothing, a puppet controlled and fooled by himself.
"No! Of course not! I recently received news that that person has returned from the universe." Daniel·Whitehall said meaningfully.
Gideon's face changed slightly. "That person? Are you referring to..."
Daniel·Whitehall smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's right, it's him. Baron Strucker has completed the research on Mind Scepter and found that it is a treasure that is completely comparable to Tesseract. So I think it is time to look for the legendary gem that can control the soul."
"How do you know he didn't lie to us?" Gideon asked with a frown.
Obviously, he did not fully believe the information Allen had previously disclosed to Alexander Pierce, and even held a certain degree of skepticism.
"Because there is no need, my friend. You don't know, right? He and one of his companions have just destroyed Kree Empire, one of the three Rider countries in the universe. If you had such power, would you still deceive a group of insignificant ants that can be easily crushed to death?" Daniel·Whitehall said with a touch of mockery in his tone.
As one of the very few Hydra executives who have been to Sky City, he knows better than the other "Heads of the Serpents" what kind of terrifying power Allen has, and he does not feel that the other party has the need to deceive him at all.
The main reason why Gideon is unwilling to take on this task is that he is afraid that obtaining Soul Stone requires sacrificing his most beloved person.
After all, this old man really has a beautiful daughter whom he loves deeply.
"What? Kree Empire was destroyed?" Gideon suddenly stood up from the chair, no longer as calm as before.
Maybe others don't know where Inhumans came from, but Malick family, who worships Hive like a god, knows something about it.
In his eyes, if Hive, the king of Inhumans, is God, then Kree is God's creator.
These aliens with advanced technology, even as powerful as Hive, still had no power to fight back and were directly exiled to a distant alien planet.
Daniel·Whitehall was quite satisfied with Gideon's reaction and replied without thinking, "Of course! This was sent back by my people at a huge risk, and there is absolutely no mistake. So for the rise of Hydra, Soul Stone is bound to win. Don't forget, Baron Strucker has successfully used Mind Scepter to cultivate two powerful brothers. It won't be long before they become the most powerful weapons against Avengers."
"But the portals to alien stars have fallen into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands. We don't even know where they are hidden." Gideon rubbed his brows helplessly.
"Don't worry, I will solve this matter. I will catch Coulson later and I will dig out all the secrets from his mouth."
When saying these words, Daniel·Whitehall's eyes flashed with a cold and cruel light.
Unlike Alexander Pierce, who likes to use killing and death to intimidate his opponents, he prefers brainwashing and torture, and enjoys the process of torturing others.
At the same time, Europe and Allen who were far away on the other side of the earth had quietly arrived at Secret Base of Baron Strucker.
Unlike most Hydra bases, this place has become a veritable country within a country, with fully armed soldiers, robots and production lines everywhere at a glance.
Countless energy weapons, aircraft and tanks were continuously produced, and a large number of bunkers were even built around the castle to deal with possible frontal attacks.
Through those research laboratories, you can see the weapons, grenades and flying vehicles used by Chitauri in Battle of New York.
In addition, there are also a small amount of potions, raw materials and magic items flowing out of Sky City.
You don't need to ask to know that Hydra completely regards this place as its own R&D and manufacturing center.
"Interesting! They never put their eggs in one basket, but they actually concentrated so much manpower and resources here. It seems that Baron Strucker, who doesn't have many roles in the movie, may have a status within Hydra that is far beyond imagination." Allen touched his chin with a playful expression.
Because he used the power of magic to keep himself invisible, even if there were many people coming in and out around him, and every level had precautions such as iris recognition, fingerprint recognition, and genetic recognition, he still felt like he was in an uninhabited land.
Not even the most advanced thermal imaging can capture even a tiny bit of heat.
Relying on the induction between Infinity Stones, Allen soon came to the room where Mind Scepter was stored.
In other words, it is Baron Strucker's room.
It's just that this "Heads of the Serpent" who is obsessed with scientific research is currently busy overcoming technical problems with his subordinates and is not in the room at all.
So Allen unceremoniously took Mind Stone off the scepter, and then embedded an "inferior product" that looked basically the same on the outside.
"Are you sure this thing can exert the same ability as Mind Stone?" Vilnalasath couldn't help but ask.
Allen sneered and shook his head, "Don't be kidding, how is it possible? This imitation is just something I made similar to the Rubik's Cube isotope. Later, after swallowing Ego, I used my heart The power of Spiritual Power is slightly strengthened. It can only awaken one consciousness and give it independent consciousness and thinking ability. Of course, Vision's presence on the timeline is not high, so it should be able to cope with it."
The words just fell!
Allen did not hesitate to embed Mind Stone in his hand into his body.
moment!
His perception ability is amplified to the limit, and he can even perceive what any life on any planet in this universe is thinking at this moment.
If combined with Time Stone, it can definitely be called the Almighty.
It's a pity that Allen's control of time is not as good as that of other Infinity Stones.
He decided to wait for an opportunity to ask Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One for advice on what the essence of time is and how he could control time as he wished without worrying about causing damage.
Perhaps sensing that the burden on Allen's body was increasing, Vilnalasath immediately asked, "How do you feel now?"
"Maybe it's because of the relationship that swallowed Ego, but Mind Stone didn't put too heavy a burden on me. Now we already have five Infinity Stones, and we only need the last Soul Stone to start creating our own universe."
As he spoke, Allen raised his hand and released the power of five Infinity Stones at the same time, creating a miniature ultra-small universe model in the palm of his hand.
Although there is no way to create a sure and sustainable cycle of life and death without the last Soul Stone, there is nothing missing in other aspects.
And he can feel that the burden Infinity Stones places on the user is actually different.
In other words, the more the user understands the power of the rules corresponding to Infinity Stones, the more deeply the user can resonate with the gems, thereby reducing the burden on themselves.
Among the current five Infinity Stones, Allen has the easiest control over space and mind, followed by reality and power, and the worst is time.
This also means that, having combined the powers of Death, Quincy, Xu and Soul-Soul Fruit, he basically doesn't have to worry too much about the burden brought by Soul Stone.
"Are you planning to recreate the history of Game World?" Vilnalasath asked curiously.
"I don't know. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Just make a decision about such a small matter when the time comes." Allen shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Recreate the history of Azerath Universe?
He really hasn't thought about it in this regard.
After all, a certain company changes settings, eats books, and even slaps itself in the mouth every now and then.
According to their approach, various problems will definitely arise in actual operations.
Just as Allen put Mind Scepter back in place and planned to open the portal to leave, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with long hair who looked like the girl next door walked in directly from the outside.
Unfortunately, Mind Scepter was put back on the shelf at this moment, making a slight sound and vibration.
"Who? Who's there!"
The girl immediately became alert, raised her hands and released a ball of red magical energy.
Seeing this, Allen immediately realized that the person standing in front of him was none other than Scarlet Witch who was willing to accept Hydra's experiment.
After realizing this, he did not continue to hide or leave directly. Instead, he released his invisibility and said hello with a smile, "Hello, Wanda Maximov. Although it is not the most appropriate time to contact him right now, I think it would be okay to meet him first."
"You... know me?"
Wanda, who was in adolescence, had a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Because Allen's apparent age and height as an elementary school student are so deceptive that most people don't think he is very dangerous when they first meet him.
What's more, in order to win Scarlet Witch's favor, he also used a little bit of Charm Magic.
For a moment, Wanda just felt that the "boy" in front of him became more and more pleasing to the eye and cuter. He even subconsciously started to swallow his saliva, his heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but want to hold him in his arms.
But just when he was about to take action, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Allen's face, and then he was swallowed by the suddenly opened portal, and his whole person disappeared without a trace.
The guard outside the door seemed to have noticed something, and immediately rushed in, took a look at the empty room, and asked in an uncertain tone, "What's going on? Has someone broken in?"
Wanda quickly shook his head. "No! I may be too tired, so I had a brief hallucination in front of my eyes."
"Maybe you should lie down and rest for a while. The Baron's experiment is not easy, not to mention that you brothers and sisters are the only successful cases to obtain Superpowers from the experiment."
After saying this, the guard ignored the other party and turned back to his post.
In his opinion, it would not be surprising for the twins who survived his baron's experiments, not to mention occasional hallucinations, sudden death or madness.
After all, the power of Mind Scepter is far beyond anyone's imagination, and it can turn S.H.I.E.L.D.'s loyal agent into a die-hard loyalist of the Hydra organization in an instant...
