"Gaia Memory, so you and that artificial vampire are the same kind of beings. You've come to save him!"
Upon seeing the rock man's actions, Doc Green instantly understood what was happening.
Nick Fury's management style of S.H.I.E.L.D.. is fragmented. The policy of classifying agents into different levels is what he established. Even in a temporary team, he does this. Different people receive different information to carry out different missions.
That's the case with the squad that hunts down artificial vampires.
Agent Shilvert and S.H.I.E.L.D..'s rapid response team possessed some intelligence, enough for their pursuit mission; as for the fact that his abilities originated from an artificial artifact called the "Gaia Memory," Nick Fury only told Bruce Banner, Doc Green immediately recognized the source of the Rock Man's abilities.
"Don't confuse us with that inferior experiment. We are high-ranking members of SHOCKER, the ones who wield power. It's nothing more than a puppet controlled by that power," the blonde woman said arrogantly.
A little over a month ago, she was just an insignificant actress in Hollywood. She was pretty and had a good figure, but no director could spot her talent among the many candidates. To date, her most notable role was the third female lead in a third-rate movie, with very few lines and close-ups.
Although her acting is more natural than the lead actress and the second lead actress (in her own opinion), she has never been able to land an important role.
Just after she was rejected from the audition for the third female lead in a new movie, a man calling himself Doctor Death found her and gave her a magical artifact called the Gaia Memory, which granted her superpowers.
Because of her unique constitution, she can accommodate two Gaia Memory and possess two superpowers simultaneously. This talent caught the eye of Doctor Death, who recruited her into the SHOCKER organization as a minor leader—enjoying only the benefits and privileges of this level without being assigned any SHOCKER combatants as subordinates.
Of course, she's not the only one among the hundreds of millions of United States with such talent. The fire man and the Rock Man, who are being played with by S.H.I.E.L.D.., are both people who possess two different superpowers.
"SHOCKER..."
Doc Green silently memorized the name, then activated the driver, unlocking its self-imposed limitations, fueling his rage, and unleashing an even stronger power driven by his emotions—before charging straight at Rock Man.
The rock man took a running start, then swung his fist at the onrushing Doc Green.
The next moment, both of them were sent flying backward.
Doc Green was hit in the chest. The force of the blow left a fist mark on his chest muscle, which was instantly reduced to minced meat, only preventing it from exploding because it was covered by tough skin.
With the help of his self-healing ability, the muscles recovered rapidly, and the pain of healing made Doc Green even angrier and stronger.
The Rock Man was hit on the head; Doc Green's punch shattered his skull. The Rock Man seemed to have been transformed into another kind of creature by the power of the Gaia Memory. His body was no longer made of flesh and bones, but only of rock. The shattered stones from his skull shot out like shotgun bullets, some of which hit the blonde woman and the colonel in the corner.
The blonde woman's eyes widened, and the stones stopped a meter in front of her before falling to the ground—this was her second ability besides invisibility: telekinesis.
Having only been exposed to these two superpowers for a month, the blonde had only developed the ability to make people invisible and create telekinetic barriers, but that was enough. Therefore, her main responsibility for this mission was to protect the colonel, and she did not need to get involved in dealing with the enemy.
Unexpectedly, the enemy was so weak. Doc Green turned and rushed towards the blonde woman... Although they were just women and old people, they were enemies, and underestimating them would only hurt oneself.
But before he could get close to them, Doc Green was struck hard on the back. The force of the blow caused his heart to stop beating for a moment, his vision went black, and then his anger intensified.
Turning his head, he saw that the rock man had gotten up at some point, and his head, which had been smashed by a punch, had been restored to its original state.
This is the power of the Rock Man's two Gaia Memory. The first power is called Rock, which transformed his entire body into extremely solid stone, thus granting him powerful resilience and strength.
The second power is called the Child of the Earth, which is very similar to the power of the giant Antaeus in Greek mythology. As long as the body is in contact with the ground, it can continuously draw power from the earth, making it incredibly strong and invincible.
Similarly, this power is very restrictive; it can only be used when one's feet are on the ground, even if you are standing on the second floor. Furthermore, this power will transform the user into stone, and the more it is used, the faster this process will be accelerated, until the user is completely turned into a stone sculpture.
However, this power is very compatible with the Rock Man's power, because after using the Rock Gaia Memory, he is essentially a rock. Although the ground of this underground prison is not the real earth, the building is surrounded by soil, which barely meets the requirements.
Fueled by rage, the Hulk-like part of Doc Green Hulk over. He abandoned the blonde and began a brutal fight with the Rock Man—a fight without any finesse, the kind of tough-guy style you see in Hollywood action movies without any China martial arts choreography. It was a back-and-forth of punches, abandoning defense and relying entirely on physical strength and willpower to hold on. Whoever could last until the end would win.
As the battle continued, the Rock Man's body was constantly shattered and repaired by the power of the earth, growing taller and the rocks that made up his body changed to a different type, becoming more solid and able to withstand Doc Green's punches.
Possessing an inexhaustible source of earth power
The same was true for Doc Green. The prolonged battle only fueled his anger, which caused his power to rise continuously, eventually reaching a dynamic balance with the Rock Man, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
On a higher floor, Black Widow Natasha held a new tablet and watched the battle in the underground prison through a surveillance camera with an independent circuit. She was very pessimistic about the situation.
The longer the situation drags on, the more unfavorable it becomes for them, especially considering why the attackers would push an old man into the battlefield; they must have a purpose.
However, the abilities of superpowered individuals are mostly unique, because these abilities cannot be learned and thus cannot be tracked like special agent skills. Before they are actually used, the outside world knows nothing about their randomly mutated abilities, and it is impossible to predict what they can do with their abilities.
This is the best form of tactical secrecy.
