Coulson's sudden and astonishing performance is an out-and-out shot in the arm for S.H.I.E.L.D..
But for Hydra, who originally planned to solve the battle easily, it was a complete nightmare.
Especially Daniel·Whitehall, it is completely unbelievable that Coulson, an ordinary person, can move at high speed in a way that violates common sense of physics.
So much so that energy weapons and kinetic energy weapons cannot be aimed and predicted.
Often in the blink of an eye, his entire person would disappear from sight.
When he appeared again, he was already standing behind him, using a sharp blade to cut his opponent into pieces.
"Damn it! Did this guy also use some kind of strengthening potion or receive Gene Modification?"
Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, Daniel·Whitehall couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
You must know that after Alexander Pierce was killed by the Avengerss, he took the opportunity to take over and integrate most of Hydra's forces in North America. He also fought against S.H.I.E.L.D. led by Coulson many times, always firmly holding the absolute upper hand.
He even took advantage of information asymmetry to manipulate the other party, and successfully brainwashed and controlled Agent 33.
But Coulson has never been seen showing physical fitness like Superman, let alone the ability that is similar to Teleportation at the moment.
Moreover, the extremely cold and exquisite killing swordsmanship does not look like the result of recent practice, but the result of at least several years or even decades of study.
The most important thing is that based on Hydra's information, Coulson had almost no record of cold weapon training before this.
Not to mention being a cold weapon, even his marksmanship and unarmed combat skills are not very good within S.H.I.E.L.D..
The reason why Nick Fury promoted him to a very high position was mainly because of his loyalty and his character of executing the orders of his superiors without hesitation.
"Almost thirty of our people have died, and four robots have been destroyed. If this continues, we will soon be unable to hold on." A Hydra team commander gritted his teeth and reminded.
"Use that thing!"
Daniel·Whitehall After thinking for a moment, he immediately narrowed his eyes and gave the instruction.
When the other Hydra heard this, cruel smiles suddenly appeared on their faces, and they all made very strange gestures to their subordinates.
In less than a few seconds, three small missile launchers with strange shapes were taken out of the sealed box and aimed at Coulson and his agents who were conducting counterattacks.
Before these people noticed anything was wrong, the missiles instantly spurted out of the launch tube.
The bright tail flame streaked directly across the low altitude and exploded above the head of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was different from the violent explosion expected.
The explosion power of the three small missiles was very small, so small that it was almost negligible, and there was not even smoke or fire.
But along with the explosion, dozens of small balls emitting red light were scattered in the surrounding air.
When the height of the ball drops to about one meter!
The dazzling red laser was instantly released from the sphere, forming a laser net around Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. one after another.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were hit.
Either their arms and legs were cut off, or they were chopped off at the waist by lasers. They fell to the ground and howled in pain.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! Legs! My legs!"
"Fake! Jack is killed!"
"Be careful! Those laser balls are flying towards us!"
Suddenly, the situation on the entire battlefield was reversed.
Although Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.s generally have energy shields that can block energy weapons from the front, they cannot block lasers from the side.
When two spheres pass through a person sideways, the red laser will first be blocked by the energy shield.
Immediately after passing through the shield, they will reconnect again, like a sharp knife, cutting everything that blocks their progress in half.
But what is incredible is that Coulson, located in the center of this laser network, did not suffer any damage.
Because the moment the laser net opened, he read a very strange syllable from his mouth.
Then Zanpakuto releases the unimaginably huge Reiatsu from the inside. When the laser gets close, it will be refracted to other places immediately.
In the end, these huge Reiatsu formed an inverted triangle with sharp jagged edges.
There is no doubt that this Zanpakuto finally completed Shikai, and at the same time independent consciousness and thinking were born.
I saw it controlling Coulson's body, first glanced at the surrounding situation, and suddenly laughed wildly without warning, "Hahahaha! I... am finally free!"
"Oh - no! This is not something Coulson can say." Skye's eyes widened, with expressions of shock and fear on his face.
Not only him, but other team members who have been with Coulson for a long time, such as Simmons, Fitz, Melinda, etc., have also begun to be concerned about the situation of this director and friend.
But before they could come up with any plan, Coulson, who was controlled by Zanpakuto, raised the inverted triangle shield and suddenly raised his hand and waved it.
moment!
The almost substantial Reiatsu was released in an incredible way, forming a vortex similar to Buster Gundam around the battlefield.
All the laser beam emitters floating in the air were gathered together, then shattered and disintegrated in constant collisions.
No matter how Hydra maneuvers and changes direction, it will not help.
After finishing all this, he immediately set his sights on the hiding place of Daniel·Whitehall not far away.
Obviously, in those eyes that can see through the soul, ordinary counter-hiding methods have no effect at all.
The next second...
Coulson jumped up into the air, then raised his shield to protect his chest, like a cannonball falling down.
boom!!!!!!!!!
With the help of gravity acceleration, his impact was like a meteorite, instantly triggering a strong earthquake.
North American region "Heads of the Serpent" Daniel·Whitehall didn't even have the chance to call for help, and completely disappeared (in the physical sense) in the shock wave and earthquake caused by the impact.
Those members of Hydra who survived the impact did not fare much better. They were all found and killed one by one, and their souls were pulled out and devoured.
The screams of their souls before they died made even ordinary people clearly feel that something was wrong.
Some Reiatsu slightly stronger guys even started to lie on the ground and retched, their whole bodies shaking violently uncontrollably.
fear!
Instinctive fear!
Just like small animals in nature encountering natural enemies, they don't dare to have the slightest idea of escape or resistance.
"It's so delicious! Sure enough, human souls are the best! But you always want to use animal souls to fool me..."
The controlled Coulson licked his lips and said words that made people feel uneasy and frightened.
Just when he was still not satisfied and turned his attention to the dead or seriously injured Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. souls present, Coulson, who had been in a suppressed state, finally no longer remained silent, but fought fiercely, trying to regain control of his body.
I could see that his face was crazy at one moment, angry at another, and frighteningly calm at the next, just like a mental patient. From time to time he would say contradictory words and argue with himself.
"Get out of my body! You are just a knife! A weapon! And I am your master."
"No! I am the master! You are just a pathetic and stupid waste! Without me, you would have died countless times."
"Trash can be turned into a puppet! If you try to take my body and influence my will again, I will commit suicide."
"How dare you?! This body no longer belongs to you!"
"See if I dare!"
During the fierce argument, Coulson raised the Zanpakuto that was already Shikai in his hand, and pointed the edge full of sharp jagged edges at his neck.
Now, with just a little bit of force, he could instantly slit his throat and aorta, letting his own blood spill on the spot.
Under this mutual resistance, Zanpakuto finally gave in, slowly exited the body, and returned control to Coulson.
And Coulson also fell to his knees on the ground with a plop after Zanpakuto's power retreated, breathing heavily, and his whole body was completely soaked in sweat.
At this moment, he understood what the reminder Allen originally meant to him.
As a person who often deals with supernatural forces and aliens, Coulson realized for the first time that a mere cold weapon could be so terrifying and dangerous.
When he looked at Zanpakuto that fell to the ground again, the soul weapon had returned to its original appearance.
"Okay. I have to admit that Tony·Stark is right. Anything related to magic and souls is not dangerous. Especially for ordinary people like me..." Coulson laughed at himself with a bitter smile.
"Are you okay?"
Melinda was the first to rush up and asked with great concern.
Coulson shook his head slightly. "I'm fine, I just finally understood that if you want to gain power, you must pay a price. Do you know? I was almost controlled by a knife just now."
"You mean... this knife has its own independent consciousness and thinking?!"
Simmons put on gloves and carefully picked up Zanpakuto that fell on the ground, and scanned it with the instrument he carried.
In just about ten seconds, a very exaggerated reading appeared on the screen.
Fitz couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my god! This is more than ten times higher than the last time we tested it. Sir, I suggest you not to use it lightly before you figure out its situation."
"You don't need to tell me, I don't plan to continue using it anymore." Coulson showed his good-natured and good-natured character.
If it were Nick Fury, the director, he would never let go of such a weapon easily.
Even if he knows there is danger, he will continue to try to study, control, and make it part of his own power.
In the following time, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s people simply cleaned up the battlefield and transported their injured colleagues who were not dead to the nearest hospital for rescue.
You must know that this is almost more than half of their current combat troops.
As for the remaining people, they began to explore and detect the tunnels leading to the underground ruins.
With Coulson's cautious style, he would not rashly send people down to enter an alien temple that has existed for who knows how many years.
Otherwise, the enemy only needs dozens or even several kilograms of military explosives to bury everyone underneath and suffocate them alive.
Facts have proved that his worries were not unfounded.
After more than an hour of detection and investigation, Fitz's drone discovered that Hydra had installed time bombs in advance in several main passages.
However, before the enemies had time to activate, they were all slaughtered by the awakened Zanpakuto.
After more than half an hour of work by bomb disposal experts, six bombs were successfully defused.
The road to the underground temple was finally opened.
With an uneasy mood, Skye and Coulson entered the maze-like underground temple together.
They did not notice at all that in the dark underground tunnels extending in all directions, Lena had long taken advantage of the fighting between the two sides to hide in an inconspicuous corner with an old man.
And this man is Skye's biological father—Carl.
"Haha, it seems that what is going to be staged next will be a family ethics drama, isn't it?" Allen stood in the center of the venue where the ceremony was held, joking with a smile.
With his powerful senses, he is apparently very aware of what is happening above and below ground.
Especially Carl·Johnson, whose current thinking has become so active that he can detect the strong care and love for his daughter even if he doesn't want to use his psychic abilities.
In the eyes of this father, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Coulson are the culprits who took away his daughter.
In contrast, Lena is full of desire to uncover the mystery of Obelisk, and wants to know whether that thing can help him find the value of his existence.
Soon, accompanied by a rush of footsteps, the Coulson group finally arrived at this fateful place.
"Welcome! It seems that you have just experienced a fierce battle." Allen greeted with a smile.
But Coulson couldn't laugh at all, and responded with a grimace, "It's more than intense. Seven of my people died, and more than ten were injured, and more than half of them may be disabled for life. Sometimes I really hate the agreement International Security Council signed with you. Otherwise, for an organization like Hydra, you can uproot them with just a wave of your hand, so there is no need to make such a big sacrifice."
"Where there are interests, there will be fights, and when there are conflicts of ideas, wars will break out. This is Eternity's unchanging theme in human society. Even if there is no Hydra, other organizations will pop up to replace them. Do you expect me to kill them all? No! This is impossible. Well, instead of worrying about this, let's hold this interesting ceremony quickly. Where is Obelisk? Give it to me."
As he said that, Allen looked directly at the box Melinda was carrying.
