In the days that followed, he put aside other matters and focused on studying the Ten Rings.
Meanwhile, new news came from New York.
Four people with superpowers suddenly appear out of nowhere, and they reject offers of service from both the military and the government.
They formed their own group and became known as the " Fantastic Four ".
Even more shocking to the world was the sudden announcement that S.H.I.E.L.D.. had disbanded!
Ever since the Ten Rings exposed that 70-80% of S.H.I.E.L.D..'s personnel were Hydra, the organization has been mired in controversy.
For the past six months, most countries have rejected their enforcement requests and funding, and Pierce was forced to resign as minister of the council.
After the multinational joint investigation team arrived, although they initially found nothing, they eventually uncovered Silk and captured many Hydra agents.
Even more terrifying, during the capture, an agent died unexpectedly, and his body transformed into a green-skinned, pointy-eared monster!
Research has confirmed that this is neither an Earth species, nor a mutated organism, nor Mutants.
High-ranking officials in many countries were instantly thrown into panic; it turned out that shapeshifting aliens were hiding within Hydra!
This discovery became the final straw that broke the S.H.I.E.L.D. for S. H. I. E. L. D.
Leaders from various countries finally decided to disband it and established their own supernatural management organizations.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D.. has become history, those agents are now under close surveillance.
A week later, the United States announced the establishment of S.W.O.R.D.., with Nick Fury continuing as its director.
It must be said that Fury was indeed skillful, managing to regain the president's trust.
Tony Stark becomes an advisor to S.W.O.R.D.. and agrees to join the Avengers, including Spider-Man.
" Tony and Peter have both joined the Avengers?"
Wenwu was somewhat surprised when he received the news, but upon reflection, it made sense.
Tony wants to unite all forces to protect the world.
Besides his impoverished circumstances, Peter was also attracted by the generous benefits offered by the S.W.O.R.D. and his legitimate vigilante status.
Of course, even if he joined, he wouldn't show his face, partly out of fear of retaliation against his family and friends by the enemy.
"According to our people, many former S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents have mysteriously disappeared or faked their deaths in the past six months, probably to avoid being investigated, and have gone into hiding in advance," Ching-Lin reported to Wenwu.
"Heh, having these Hydra stirring up trouble in the shadows is actually a good thing for us."
Wenwu nodded slightly, then changed the subject, his tone becoming serious. "However, we ourselves must also conduct regular self-checks. If Hydra or something else infiltrates, it will be troublesome."
Hydra excels at stealth, especially now that the Skrulls are working for Fury.
I wonder if they've gathered their wandering race in the universe?
These Skrulls can transform into anyone at will, perfectly replicating even at the genetic level, and can also acquire a small amount of the target's memories, making them extremely adept at disguise.
They appeared on Earth because they suffered a crushing defeat in the war against the Kree, their home planet was destroyed, and they were forced into exile in space.
In the 1980s, the Skrull leader brought a group of refugees to Earth.
In the 1990s, the Kree Empire pursued them to this place, where they were rescued by Captain Marvel, Carol.
Carol had promised to help them find a new home.
However, in the original storyline, Carol clearly didn't take her promise to heart, and even after serving as a vigilante in space for over a decade, she still failed to keep it.
Eventually, the Skrulls lost patience and rallied their people to invade Earth.
Prior to this, Nick Fury had been using the Skrulls do his bidding.
We must be careful!
After Ching-Lin accepted the order and withdrew, Wenwu looked at the Ten Rings in his hand and sighed.
Now, through his dual perception of metal abilities and Spiritual Power, he has figured out most of the internal structure of the Ten Rings.
The most core area, however, contains a power that resembles quantum technology, yet also seems to contain some mysterious force, which he is currently unable to analyze.
"Since it can't be shut down, then there's no need to ignore it. I want to see just what kind of being forged this Ten Rings artifact?!"
Wenwu's gaze sharpened, and he immediately made a decision.
Only gods or advanced civilizations could create such a weapon.
In the original comics, the Ten Rings are Ten Rings, fragments of the engine core of a dragon-shaped alien spaceship, but in this world, their origin remains a mystery.
He wanted to see what kind of entity this signal from the Ten Rings would attract.
Wenwu guessed that at most, these Ten Rings would attract powerful beings like Odin, who was at the Skyfather Level, or an interstellar civilization like the Kree Empire.
With comparisons, he became less afraid, as long as it wasn't a single-universe-level god.
As long as the Ancient One is alive, other gods dare not easily enter Earth, so he is temporarily safe on Earth.
He wouldn't be afraid of interstellar civilizations. Although his individual strength is not as good as Captain Marvel's, he is confident that he can take down an interstellar fleet with his current strength!
He made his decision and stopped thinking about it.
For the next two weeks, Wenwu worked on building a new artificial solar reactor deep within the base while repeatedly training his rapidly increasing abilities in a closed training ground.
"My lord, do you have any Vibranium left?"
That day, when Ivan saw Wenwu coming, he immediately rushed to greet him, his eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"What else have you researched? Do you still need Vibranium?"
Wenwu raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone tinged with doubt.
He did give Ivan some Vibranium before, to see if he could create something similar or a lower grade of Vibranium, and he didn't expect to get a response so quickly.
"This Vibranium is amazing! It can boost weapon power to a whole new level!"
Ivan's voice trembled with excitement, " The Sun-Glory Missile, also Plasma Fusion Missile, can have its power nearly doubled by adding Vibranium, making it almost comparable to a nuclear bomb with the yield of 2 megatons of TNT!"
Wenwu raised an eyebrow, immediately checked Ivan's research data, and after some deduction, found it to be feasible.
Then, he casually took out the remaining hundred-plus kilograms of Vibranium and tossed it to Ivan.
He's no longer afraid that Ivan will run away with the Vibranium -made armor, because he could kill Ivan with a single thought!
Furthermore, over the past two weeks, he had secretly hypnotized Ivan using his mental powers, influencing his Mind Stone and will, and had made him completely loyal to him!
"If Vibranium can amplify weapons, then this isn't enough?"
Wenwu's lips curled into a strange smile. His strength had greatly increased; his metal-based abilities allowed him to control a range of 500 meters and lift objects weighing tens of thousands of tons.
Stealing Vibranium from Wakanda should be a piece of cake for him. Even if he's discovered, he can still roam freely in Wakanda, unmatched by anyone!
With that in mind, he contacted Ulysses Klaue.
This guy is very capable. In just one year, he has become a supervisor of logistics in the Ten Rings. He has contributed a lot to the Ten Rings's supplies, weapons, and special materials this year!
In return, Wenwu rewarded him with a low-cost enhancement program, allowing his physique to reach the limits of human potential!
Two hours later, Klaue, who was out of town, returned to headquarters in an aircraft.
Wenwu didn't beat around the bush and told him directly to take him to Wakanda!
Upon hearing this, Klaue immediately knew what Wenwu was planning to do, and he was so excited he almost jumped for joy!
He had long dreamed of the day when Wenwu would lead him to mine out Vibranium in Wakanda, and now the opportunity had finally arrived!
Three hours later, two massive Giant Spirit transport planes, each over 100 meters long, landed somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean coast of Africa.
It was already late at night in Africa, and the sea breeze carried a salty, fishy smell.
