Within the range of the man's ability, all plants became his sensory organs. He could even simulate vision to observe his surroundings.
His sight advanced layer by layer, entering the villa without any hindrance, crossing the lawn, and finally entering the interior of the villa. The flowers and plants on the balcony and the flowers in the living room all became part of the man's sensory organs.
After his vision entered the interior of the villa, the man began to search room by room. Finally, on the balcony, the face of a cute little girl appeared in his sight.
The girl looked at him straight, as if she was gazing into his eyes. Beside her, there was a large metal dog with its mouth open and a ball of blue light in its mouth ready to be released.
The man's face changed instantly, his keen sixth sense frantically alerted him, and he almost instantly cut off his sensory vision and shouted to his companions.
"Run!"
However, even faster than his voice was a ball of azure light that came from the villa with pinpoint accuracy. Before his voice had even faded, the ball of light had already stretched out a long tail of light, striking both of them.
There was no pain, no explosion, but the man who opened his eyes in confusion saw something even more terrifying. He found that his and his companions' bodies were being forcibly converted into strings of data, gradually disappearing from this world.
"No!"
The man let out a shrill cry, and then his head, like his body, was converted into data, uploaded and disappeared.
"All clear!"
Inside the villa, Rude, who had been loyally guarding little Becky on the balcony, disengaged his attack mode and lay down again. As Luke's earliest mechanical creation, it had been updated and iterated eleven times. Now, except for the exterior, not only the internal structure, but even the materials had been replaced countless times.
Now it can connect to the data dimension, the magician's barrier perception network, the sky satellite and all the surrounding cameras, plus the various technical traps Luke has set in the villa. It is a nightmare for anyone to sneak in without alerting it.
…
Hebron.
"Two Inhumans who showed up at my door?" Luke frowned slightly. He hadn't expected them to come straight to his house. Luke was happy to accept this kind of material that came to his doorstep. It was a good opportunity to test them with the power of the data dimension.
…
"Are you sure this is where the crystal originally landed?" the man with dense green lines on his arm asked his companion. Suddenly, he felt as if he had said this just moments before.
He looked around carefully. The surroundings were exactly the same as he remembered, including the villa not far away. That memory was so vivid in his mind, so profound that it felt like he was there in person!
"That's right, the landing point of the space fluctuation is here!" The person being asked nodded affirmatively.
The man had no intention of listening to his companions. He simply didn't understand the situation. What had happened? Was the scene in his memory real or fake? If it was real, wouldn't he and his companions be dead? If it wasn't, the memory was so real that he hesitated to declare it false.
Could it be that, in addition to his Wood-type superpowers, he had also awakened others, such as the ability to predict the future? After he foresaw his own death, this dormant prophetic ability suddenly awakened and gave him a warning!
"What's wrong with you, Jay?" The man's companion looked at him in confusion as he remained silent.
"Didn't you notice anything unusual?" The man called Jay asked his partner tentatively.
"Is there anything unusual? Is there something unusual about this mission? What did you find?" His companion looked at Jay blankly.
"No, let's leave first." Jay looked at the villa that was predicted to bring death to him and his companions, and he felt like retreating.
"Why? We have found the location of the crystal. If we leave, how are we going to explain to Maximus? He is ruthless and will not let us go." His companions were puzzled.
"I have a feeling there's danger there." Jay pointed to Luke's villa.
"Premonition? Come on, I didn't know you had this ability." The companion didn't believe what Jay said.
"Really, believe me!" Before Jay could finish his words, he was horrified to see a ball of blue light in the villa filling his eyes again.
Are you going to die?
This thought came to Jay's mind.
Then, there was no pain, no explosion, but this time, there was no horrifying digital transformation either. But Jay didn't feel the slightest bit of surprise. Instead, he felt even more terrified, because he discovered that some of his limbs were turning from flesh and blood into mechanical bodies!
Jay was going mad. This was different from what he remembered, but just as terrifying. He realized that the part of him that had transformed into a machine seemed to have its own consciousness, resisting his control. The connection between his flesh and blood and the machine seemed to be torn apart. It felt like a part of him would be gone in the next moment.
In fact, part of his limbs did leave him and transformed into a mechanical dog, which attacked him.
A branch from a large tree whipped over, knocking the robot dog back from mid-air. Jay was controlling the tree beside him, activating a portion of its branches as a defensive attack.
"Save me!" Jay's attention was attracted by his companion's scream. He saw that part of his body had also been transformed into a mechanical body. After separating, it turned into a body the size of a washbasin. Looking at the hollow and light mechanical spider, it was cruelly using its sharp feet like a knife to hurt his companion's body.
However, before he could offer any assistance, the mechanical spider plunged one of its sharp legs into its companion's neck, slicing it out horizontally. Blood gushed from its throat, and its eyes gradually lost focus.
After landing, the robot dog pounced again. This time, it split into two sub-bodies. Although the three robot dogs were much smaller and thinner after being separated, the threat they posed to Jay was even greater when they worked together.
After a fierce fight, Jay also fell to the ground, but he relied on the life force of the tree behind him to hold on longer than his companions. Although he could not escape death in the end, he fell in a pool of blood.
Jay is dead.
…
"Are you sure this is where the crystal originally landed?"
Jay said this subconsciously, and then a stunned silence fell upon him. But he regained consciousness quickly, and before his companion could reply, his feet were on fire, and he fled in a direction away from the villa. His companions were inexplicably surprised, and after calling out to him to no avail, they could only give chase.
In the end, the two of them still fell into the hands of a group of mechanical mutants.
…
"Are you sure this is where the crystal originally landed?"
After saying this, Jay stared blankly at the villa in the distance, his heart filled with despair! He didn't know how many times he had died in this cycle. This sentence was like a switch for bad luck, and every cycle started with it.
He had almost pushed his and his companions' abilities to the limit. From the initial inability to resist to the subsequent back-and-forth, he had almost never imagined that one day he would be able to utilize his abilities to this extent. However, in the end, he and his companions still had to die.
If the previous sentence is the beginning of the tragedy of death, then death is the beginning of the next cycle.
Jay wasn't sure how much longer this cycle would continue, but he knew he was practically broken. His mind was on the verge of collapse. He even felt a twinge of envy and jealousy towards his companions, who knew nothing and remembered nothing in each repetition. He could vividly remember the bizarre and brutal deaths, and the moments after being captured and studied on the lab bench, a state worse than death.
Coincidentally, in another identical scene, Jay's companion was also jealous and crazy about Jay, who lost his memory every time he cycled and could not remember anything.
…
[Character ability data has been analyzed]
[You have obtained a partial genetic map of the Inhumans]
[Analysis data has been stored in the Attilan file library]
After the Data Dimension finished analyzing the data on Jay's two Inhumans' abilities and genes, it packaged and stored it inside the Data Dimension according to Luke's orders.
Data sandbox.
If we were to use the Supreme Mage's spells to find a corresponding one, it would be Mirror Space. However, compared to the Mirror Space's great auxiliary effect in combat, the Data Sandbox had no advantages. Its only use was looping!
If we say that mirror space tends to extend and utilize space.
The data sandbox is like a time loop, a loop that doesn't distinguish between the enemy and the friendly side.
The greatest purpose of Luke's creation of it is not to use it for combat, but to use it as a tool to assist in analyzing the target, to observe and analyze the target's abilities, combat methods, various data, etc., and then to find out the opponent's weaknesses and create targeted techniques to restrain the opponent.
Like Mirror Space, this is an extremely advanced and energy-consuming technology. However, the energy consumption can be controlled based on the size of the sandbox scene and the strength of the target character.
In the words of the Supreme Sorcerer, this is a product between magic and technology. The Sorcerer believes that this is a new dimension of magic, and ordinary people can also regard it as a manifestation of technology.
The reason for this is that after the mages use their emotional abilities, together with the data dimension, and master the corresponding spells, they can release this new dimension of magic in a magical way by rubbing their hands.
If it is put into the hands of a super genius, if the other party has a high level of authority in the data dimension and has some understanding of the programming language of the data dimension, then he can use technology to create it in reality.
The strength and effectiveness of each party's data sandbox may vary due to various factors, but the essence is the same. It can be created using the incantations of the Supreme Mage's lineage, or it can be crafted from scratch using technology. Both are possible and do not conflict. It can be idealistic or materialistic. In the words of the Ancient One, this is perhaps the finest dimensional power that combines magic and technology.
…
On an island somewhere in the archipelago.
The three gangs were locked in a tense standoff, no one daring to act rashly. Or rather, it was just two of the factions that were particularly tense.
The three parties include Black Bolt, Medusa and others on one side, Orlan and others sent by Maximus on the other side, and the third party is the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents led by Phil Coulson.
Beast Squad.
Ring Team.
And the Mutant Squad.
There was also a group of mechanical soldiers that glowed silver-white in the sunlight. Stark was one of the technology providers.
"I suggest you don't act rashly." Agent Phil said to both parties with a smile.
In terms of numbers, his side firmly held the advantage. Territorially, this was also their territory, allowing them to summon reinforcements and manpower at any time. In terms of strength, both Beast Squad and Ring Squad were S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most elite agents, equipped with Hyperion gear, each one of them could be considered a mini-superhero.
As for the Mutant Squad and the Mechanical Squad.
The former stemmed from the mechanical virus transforming a large number of mutants. With S.H.I.E.L.D. short on manpower, Nick targeted this group, posing a potential source of unrest and significant trouble, and recruited them into S.H.I.E.L.D., acting as a direct external resource. After all, some of these individuals possessed special abilities. Rather than allowing them to be absorbed by the military and the underworld, thus adding pressure and trouble to S.H.I.E.L.D., it was better for S.H.I.E.L.D. to control the most elite of these individuals.
The latter, the Mechanic Squad, were mechanical products tailor-made for the Supreme Management System by two tech giants, Hyperion and Stark. They were managed by the Supreme Management System, replacing the police in dangerous missions and assisting in administrative matters. Nick intercepted a portion of them and brought them under the control of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligent systems.
Phil didn't think these people had any chance of resistance, aside from the potential trouble with Black Bolt, but he wasn't unprepared. In his own words, no matter what, he had to make them understand where they were and who held the final say.
SHIELD must become the leader and arbitrator of both sides!
So Nick spared no effort to equip Phil with such a powerful team, just so that Phil could take control of the situation and demonstrate his own strength.
"Sister!" Crystal appeared from behind Phil and saw her sister running over cheering. Following closely behind her was a big dog as tall as a human.
"Crystal?" Medusa was startled when she saw her sister running away from the hostile crowd. Then, her gaze flickered to Phil, who was still smiling, and her tense emotions relaxed slightly. Crystal was clearly not a captive, so perhaps the people who had accepted Crystal and brought her to them were not enemies.
The expressions of the people on Medusa's side relaxed, while the expressions of the people led by Oran on the other side were a little ugly.
