Pietro felt that his eyes were moist.
He used to think that Homelander was just an arrogant man and a star who put on a show.
But now, he feels like he really deserves to die.
This is the real hero!
"Ding! Harvest Special Popularity Points + 10000! (from Pietro·Maximoff)"
Pietro stared into Homelander's eyes and said solemnly.
"I swear! I will bring Wanda back! Take her home!"
In fact, Homelander also has its own considerations.
The research on Compound V has entered a bottleneck period on Vought.
Although Dr. Connor is a genius, he is a conscientious scientist after all. He pays too much attention to safety and does not have the desperate ambition to rule the world like Hydra.
Therefore, there has been no progress in the enhanced version of T-VEX.
Since you can't do it yourself, then simply find an outsourcer.
After Hydra has finished the finished product, he will go to "Justice Execution" and get the results in one go.
Gain both fame and fortune, a win-win situation.
"We have to ask Skynet to adjust more T-850 to Sokovia." Homelander thought in his mind, "Let Rumlow give the green light for this batch of goods."
Thinking of this, Homelander was in a good mood and was ready to fly away.
"Go, Pietro, I'm waiting for your good news."
However.
"That... boss..."
The weak voice of Pietro came from behind.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Homelander turned around.
Pietro was paralyzed there like a puddle of mud at this time, with his limbs hanging limply, and only his eyes were still spinning.
"Well... I don't think I can go today."
Pietro looked embarrassed and even wanted to cry.
"The effect of T-VEX... has passed."
"Now... except for my mouth, no part of my body is hard."
"..."
Homelander looked at this noodle-like Quicksilver, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Didn't you have a great time running just now?" Homelander laughed angrily.
"That's because the medicine is still strong! Boss!" Pietro wailed, "Now I'm a useless person. Let alone Sokovia, I even have to be supported when I pee."
"..."
Homelander took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.
"Okay."
He stretched out his hand, grabbed Pietro's suit on the back, and picked him up like a sack.
"Then go back to base first."
"Hydra, let them wait for two more days."
"Hey, hey! Boss! Be gentle! You're strangling me!"
Pietro was dangling in the air with a look of despair.
"Can you change the position? A princess hug is fine too!"
"I am now a global idol! If female fans see me being carried like a dead dog by you, my image will be completely ruined!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you down."
Homelander said coldly, holding Pietro, turned into a stream of light, and flew towards New York...
Return to V.G.D. Base.
Homelander flew directly to the balcony of the medical center and threw the limp Pietro to the doctor sitting there.
"Give him two injections of glucose, or something else to restore his strength."
Homelander clapped his hands and glanced at Pietro with disgust.
"What a troublemaker."
"Thank you, boss... I love you, boss..." Pietro lay on the stretcher and weakly expressed his heart.
Homelander ignored him, turned around, went out, and walked into the elevator.
He had to go back and catch up on his sleep. He was a little tired from acting these days.
New York, Avengers Tower.
In Stark's holographic laboratory, the constant air temperature is 22 degrees, but Bruce·Banner still feels a little hot.
He unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and rubbed his tired eyes.
In front of him, a huge blue holographic projection constructed a complex model named "Veronica".
"The data is wrong, Tony." Banner's voice was a little tired, and his fingers were tapping on the virtual keyboard, "The parameters of this layer of suppression force field... If it is for Hulk, it is not enough."
Tony·Stark held a glass of chlorophyll juice in his hand and leaned casually on the experimental table.
Although the palladium poisoning was cured, he still retained some strange health habits. Some tastes can become addictive once you get used to them.
"Not enough? Bruce, this is Stark Industries's top force field generator. Theoretically, it can trap a Godzilla in heat." Tony raised his eyebrows, "Are you too stressed recently? Do you need me to arrange a yoga class for you? Or... do you need to find a psychiatrist for your green other half?"
"This is no joke, Tony."
Banner looked serious, and he called up another set of data models, which were simulation results derived from the T-VEX potion in Tony's hand.
"Look at this metabolic rate." Banner pointed to the crazy beating value on the hologram, "This is my reaction after simulating the injection of Vought T-VEX. With just a microgram level of exposure, the activity of Hulk cells increased by 300%."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Tony said and took out another bag of blueberries from under the table, "Faster, stronger, and greener. Moreover, we have Homelander. If Hulk gets out of control, I don't think it is a problem that Homelander cannot solve."
"It's not that good, Tony." Banner pointed at the crazy beating curve on the screen, "I studied the molecular structure of T-VEX. This compound... it is not just a strengthener, it is an extremely domineering biological catalyst."
"If it is injected into an ordinary person's body, it can give the person twenty to fifty times the power."
"But if..." Banner paused, his Adam's apple rolled, "... if it reacts with gamma rays. That is, Hulk was injected with this thing..."
The simulation curve on the screen instantly broke through the peak and turned into a dazzling red warning.
"Its effectiveness will not be twenty times, Tony. That is an exponential explosion." Banner's voice was trembling, "A hundred times? No, that is just the basis. Hulk's anger will be amplified by Infinity, and his sanity will be completely burned."
"One hundred times Hulk..." Tony whistled, "That does sound a bit troublesome. But, who will give Hulk an injection? I don't think anyone dares to approach that big guy."
"Those who are thoughtful will always find a way." Banner shook his head, "Alien lunatics, or other lunatics."
"At that time, he will no longer be Hulk." Banner looked at Tony, his eyes full of fear, "He will become a walking gamma Stormfront. His punch may not penetrate the earth, but the shock wave caused is enough to level Manhattan. Homelander cannot deal with him, and even if he can win, the earth cannot withstand a battle of that level."
Tony put down the dried blueberries in his hand and his expression finally became serious.
"You mean, the end of the world?"
"I mean, I've even considered exiled myself to space." Banner smiled bitterly, "Veronica System, it's like paper in front of that thing."
"Okay, okay." Tony called the Snap, "Don't do such stupid things, Dr. Banner. Hulkbuster Armor 2.0... No, the Ultimate Hulkbuster project is started. We need stronger alloys, maybe I can ask Homelander to borrow some Vibranium, he has underground channels..."
"Sir." JARVIS's gentle British voice broke the silence. "Although I don't want to interrupt your 'Doomsday Seminar,' there are visitors downstairs requesting entry."
