Warden's Blood

"Marvel's Magnetic Field Rotation"

The Führer in Berlin, with his mustache, was a fan of mysticism and obsessed with supernatural powers. The Tesseract was found by countless intelligence agents from numerous folk tales under his mindset; the pursuit of individual power also led to the creation of the Super Soldier Serum.

After Hydra split from the Third Reich, Red Skull, a close confidant of Mustache, absconded with a large sum of funds and supplies from the National Workers' Party, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the army that was locked in a stalemate with the CCP Red Army on the main battlefield.

Furthermore, Red Skull also took away the Tesseract and research data related to the Super Soldier.

In an effort to recoup the losses, Hitler assembled a new research team to attempt to replicate the Super Soldier. However, given the Third Reich's elite scientists and the vast amount of preliminary data available, creating Super Soldier with the new team would be tantamount to starting a new project, and it would take at least eight to ten years to achieve any results.

So the researchers took a different approach, combining ancient folklore with modern technology, preparing to use modern technology to replicate the magical potions from witchcraft, in order to bring powerful strength to the warriors of the Third Reich.

Meanwhile, that group discovered a historical site in Norway where ancient people had carved a record of a war in stone, depicting All-Father Odin, leading his army in a great battle against Frost Giant were trying to freeze the earth.

The Frost Giant's artifact Casket of Ancient Winters, froze half the continent. The low temperature made even metal as brittle as rotten wood. Only the Frost Giant could adapt to this cold environment, giving them a significant advantage, almost like fighting on home ground. Countless Asgard warriors died here, and even Odin lost an eye.

The war ended in Asgard's victory, but it severely weakened Asgard, leaving it with no energy to interfere in the development of human civilization.

On the ruins of this city called Tensberg, countless Asgard warriors and Frost Giant lay dead. The blood that flowed from their bodies froze into some kind of red ice crystals in the Casket of Ancient Winters, and the divine power of the Asgard was also frozen within the ice crystals.

Without the guidance of Asgard, human civilization on that continent began to develop wildly.

Later, a group of wizards discovered this red crystal and used it as a magical material. They combined it with dried bat dung, owl meat, and fish eyes to create a potion. Drinking this potion granted the user powerful strength derived from the warriors of Asgard.

The Third Reich spent a great deal of manpower and resources to excavate the ruins of Tunschberg from underground, and then found some remaining red crystals. Through countless experiments, they tried to extract a potion that could modify the human body to gain great power.

This crystal is called the Blood of the Warden... Depending on the translation, it can also be called the Odin's Blood.

Back in New York, Wei Xiuming held a glass petri dish containing an irregularly shaped red crystal and explained it to Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce.

"Did they succeed?" Alexander Pierce asked, then suddenly realized that if the Führer had actually succeeded, he wouldn't be sitting here today, listening to Wei Xiuming tell his story.

Given the Führer's personality, before conquering the world, he would first concentrate his efforts on eliminating Hydra and Red Skull, completely destroying this person who betrayed him.

"It failed."

Wei Xiuming replied, "Although the power of the Casket of Ancient Winters has frozen and sealed the blood of the Asgard warriors, it is, after all, from the 10th century AD. More than a thousand years have passed, and much of its power has dissipated. Furthermore, countless wizards have used the Blood of the Warden as a magical material during this period, making the remaining portion difficult to mine, especially during wartime."

"The amount of Blood of the Warden extracted was only enough for preliminary experiments. Before mass production could begin after the research was completed, the Führer committed suicide in his basement, and the project codenamed 'Aryan Superman' was aborted."

"The CCCP obtained relevant information after the war. As the first troops to enter Berlin, they took away a lot of valuable items. Because of the precedent set by Captain America, they were eager to have their own super soldiers. This information gave them a lot of inspiration, and they extracted all the remaining Blood of the Warden."

"But even with a complete set of research materials, it's not enough. The research on the Blood of the Warden is inherited from the magical potion recipes of ancient wizards. Compared to modern science, which can be passed down through text, mathematical formulas, and diagrams, the research on the Blood of the Warden tends to be more of 'tacit knowledge.' Relevant knowledge can be accumulated during the research process, but it is difficult to describe in language and writing."

"Although the CCCP conducted corresponding human experiments, they all ended in failure. The Blood of the Warden was also completely consumed. Without this raw material, the relevant data lost its value and was sealed away... Coincidentally, there are related records in S.H.I.E.L.D..'s database."

He handed the glass petri dish to Nick Fury and asked him to examine it carefully.

Holding it in his hand, Black Eggplant could feel the powerful energy contained within, vast and violent, as if he were holding a ball of thunder. Then, he subconsciously handed the glass petri dish to Alexander Pierce.

"This is the Blood of the Warden?"

Pierce looked at Wei Xiuming and asked, "Compared to the grand spectacle when Divana underwent the modification surgery, the idea that a single red stone could grant someone such immense power is somewhat beyond my comprehension."

Wei Xiuming explained, "Yes, it's the purest Blood of the Warden in the world, a crystal made from the blood extracted from Thor, the Son of Odin, and it contains a portion of Thor's divine power."

"Of course, this could be the last one."

This is already the fourth week since the end of the Thor's Hammer event in New Mexico, Wei Xiuming has been busy throughout this time.

Although the Destroyer inflicted heavy casualties on S.H.I.E.L.D.., its gains were undoubtedly far greater.

For example, Thor, with his vast wealth and power, didn't consider the recovery of the Destroyer after destroying it. Perhaps in his mind, Earthlings couldn't use the wreckage for their own purposes.

When Nick Fury learned of this, he dispatched personnel and a special plane to retrieve it to S.H.I.E.L.D..'s base. He then brought in several experts to analyze the technology behind the Destroyer Armor, attempting to upgrade S.H.I.E.L.D..'s weaponry.

Wei Xiuming then oversaw the restoration of the Destroyer, transforming it into a form that could be controlled by humans.

Taking a break, Wei Xiuming modified Thor's blood, condensing it into something similar to a Philosopher's Stone. Only two stones were created from 500cc of blood, and they will be used for human modification.

Billy Russo will be the first person to undergo the transformation, and he was personally selected by Nick Fury.
