Chapter 621 - Ch. 85-89

Chapter 85: Given face but don't want it? Then don't have it! Nick Fury vomits blood.

Inside an apartment in Manhattan,

After receiving Barbara's message, Fury rushed over from the branch without a moment's delay.

However, by the time he arrived at the apartment, the door was already locked.

He knocked on the door, but there was no one.

As an agent, Nick Fury naturally couldn't just wait outside obediently.

This was a safe house that S.H.I.E.L.D. had deliberately rented long-term in secret.

He also had a key.

However, when Fury took out his key and inserted it,

"The lock has been changed?"

"What is Barbara doing?!"

Fury's face was dark as he examined the door.

The door had been changed too!

It had been replaced with a very strong alloy.

Next to the door,

He found a note.

"Out shopping, be back soon."

"Shopping?!"

Fury was shocked. He had rushed over in a Quinjet as soon as he got the call, wasn't it to get first-hand intelligence?

Barbara had been very mysterious on the phone, and he had thought there was some important information.

But after calling him, she immediately went shopping!

Fury was a little displeased. Barbara's actions were somewhat out of line!

He waited patiently for more than ten minutes.

Finally,

Barbara walked out of the stairwell, carrying a large pile of things in both hands, looking cheerful.

"Hey, you're here!"

Barbara seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, cheerfully greeting him.

"Just in time, help me carry these things."

Fury took them with a dark expression, glancing at them from the corner of his eye, his face growing even darker.

"When you come in later, put on shoe covers, don't get the floor dirty. I just cleaned it."

The clean floor would be very useful later!

Barbara thought to herself, then directly changed into a pair of clean slippers.

Fury glanced at another pair of men's large-sized slippers neatly placed to the side, his expression growing even more unpleasant.

A moment later, with a solemn expression, he was led by Barbara to sit on the guest-exclusive sofa.

Barbara, meanwhile, sat on a newly laundered, ultra-luxurious soft large sofa.

Fury compared the two with his eyes, and his anger surged.

"I, the director, am sitting on a second-hand broken sofa, while you are sitting on a brand new clean sofa. Do you still have any respect for me as the director?!"

Fury took a deep breath, looking at the two glasses of plain water Barbara brought, his eyebrows twitching.

"I don't drink plain water."

"Uh... Director, this isn't your water."

"!!!!"

"Where's mine?"

Barbara apologized, "I'm sorry, I know you don't drink plain water, but I don't have any other drinks here either..."

"Motherfucker!"

Even if Fury was stupid, he would feel that something was wrong.

"Barbara, you..."

"Let me make a call, Aaron will be here soon."

Barbara took out her pink phone and busied herself.

Fury's anger immediately cooled down, and the words in his throat were forcibly swallowed.

He sat up straight, his ears perked up.

"Hello, dear, when will you be here? Mm-hmm, yes, I'm home already. Three minutes? Okay, I'll change your water later..."

Hearing this, all of Fury's anger vanished.

This way of speaking...

He couldn't help but be delighted, "It worked?"

"It worked!"

Barbara put away her phone and nodded.

"How much information do you have about him?" Nick Fury asked excitedly.

Barbara thought back, length, strength, temperature, preferred positions, sound, diameter... She subconsciously nodded, "A lot!"

"As expected of mockingbird!"

Fury was overjoyed, "Tell me quickly!"

Barbara glanced at the time, thought for a moment, "He can vibrate, he can adjust temperature, he's extremely flexible..."

Fury secretly took notes, but always felt something was off.

These abilities... he certainly didn't know about them, but why did they all feel irregular?

"He can also fly, teleport, and his methods are very rough..."

He listened patiently, but wasn't she saying nothing at all!

Everyone knew about the later abilities, what was the point of saying them?

Fury frowned and continued to listen.

But there was no response for a long time.

"That's it?"

"That's all I know for now."

Barbara spread her hands.

Fury secretly sighed, "It seems his trust in you is still not enough."

"No, he likes me very much!"

Barbara was a little angry when she heard this, but then her voice suddenly changed, becoming Natasha's voice:

"He is the strongest man in the world, making people crazy and unable to extricate themselves."

Then her voice changed again, becoming another female voice, "This is Aaron's love for me; he has given me the ability to imitate all sounds."

Fury's eyes widened. Barbara changed to another voice again, this time Agent Hill.

"Aaron can bestow superpowers on others, but only to one of his closest people."

"Is this the means of a god?"

Fury was secretly alarmed.

However, he quickly changed his mind.

Isn't this a good thing?

If he could place other people around Aaron, wouldn't he be able to freeload off a superhuman?

If he freeloaded off a few more, wouldn't he be able to build a squad of absolute loyalty!

Isn't this much more reliable than casting a net all over the World and selecting from a group of uncertain potential criminals?

He naturally trusted people who had been trained since childhood far more than candidates with compulsive behaviors or split personalities.

Fury subconsciously ignored Barbara's "unreasonable" actions toward him.

Barbara hadn't said anything, but Fury had mentally filled in all the blanks.

She clearly wanted to meet Aaron, so how could she be pleasant to another man, even if he was her Officer?

No normal man would like his woman to be pleasant or even attentive to another man, especially a dark-skinned one.

Unless he was a cuckold.

Fury rubbed his bald head, understanding Barbara's actions even more.

Based on previous speculation, Aaron was the God Among Men, Superman.

Perhaps he was watching this side right now.

He couldn't expose anything!

Thinking of what he had just asked, Fury really wanted to slap himself.

He had been careless!

"Young Miss Morse, I came here to see you mainly at the request of your cousin."

Barbara was stunned by Fury's sudden change in attitude. After thinking for a moment, she vaguely understood the reason for his change.

"My cousin..."

"Yes, your cousin, Young Miss Sharon Carter, did not have ideal grades. After barely graduating from university, she heard that you were doing well in New York, so she also wants to come to New York to develop..."

Barbara was confused. She did not know Sharon Carter; she only knew Peggy Carter.

Barbara wasn't stupid. To be selected as an Agent from a non-traditional background and graduate with excellent grades within a few years, she was definitely considered an elite human in terms of both personal ability and intelligence.

Although she had recently been somewhat dulled by Aaron, her mind was still able to quickly get back into gear when calm.

She guessed Fury's intentions and was about to refuse, but then she had a change of heart. It seemed that this matter... Barbara said seriously, "I happen to have a special job here, but the hiring requirements are quite high. The applicant needs to be absolutely 'clean' and 'healthy,' without any bad habits."

The words "clean" and "healthy" were heavily emphasized.

Fury thought about it and immediately understood what she meant.

He wasn't surprised; many men liked this arrangement.

Of course, there were few such people in the US.

They probably preferred the more unrestrained type.

"Don't worry, I've looked into it. Although Young MissCarter's grades aren't ideal, she is strict with herself and even practices Christianity..."

Sharon Carter certainly didn't practice Christianity, but she definitely could!

Barbara immediately said happily, "That's perfect. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for about..."

Nick Fury understood the implication. "Twenty-two years."

"She is twenty-two years old now..."

Barbara was speechless upon hearing this. So, had she only "met" her once?

"Ahem, having not seen her for so many years, I can't wait to meet my cousin. I'll talk to my dear one later."

Fury was extremely satisfied.

Barbara was truly reliable!

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Aaron directly activated a dark energy channel and appeared in the room.

"My dear!"

Barbara instantly put on a warm smile, stuck close to Aaron, and led him to sit on the main sofa.

Then she proactively changed his shoes for him.

Nick Fury's eyebrows twitched at the sight.

Although he could understand, still... did she have to be so subservient!

She was the pride of their Bureau, one of the few Advanced Agents he could trust.

Why did he always feel like she was just one of Aaron's countless subservient lovers?

Alas, forget it. This was already the best outcome.

"Mr. Aaron, hello, I am..."

"Nick Fury, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I know!"

Aaron acted as if he were in his own home, picking up a cup and taking a drink of Water. "I was just about to go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to find you."

"Regarding the previous matter, you still haven't given me an answer!"

"Perhaps I need to talk to the President about whether S.H.I.E.L.D. is still necessary."

Fury was instantly enraged upon hearing this.

Sure enough, he was coming for him!

He naturally hadn't forgotten Aaron's request to stock up from S.H.I.E.L.D.

He had been trying his best to stall, hoping to drag it out until the end.

But now... looking at Barbara, who was attentive like a lapdog,

Fury secretly sighed. Was this unavoidable after all?

After thinking it over, Fury explained, "It's not that we don't want to agree with your request, but we don't have anything on hand that would be useful in helping your side research human enhancement serums."

"I won't hide it from you. S.H.I.E.L.D. maintains a secret Base called 'The Slingshot'."

"There is a Rocket launch silo there that has been operating for decades."

"You guessed correctly. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has continuously collected many items over the decades, those items would be quite dangerous if they fell into anyone's hands."

"Therefore, the moment we acquire them, we send them to The Slingshot, and then use a Rocket to launch them toward the Sun, letting them sleep eternally in space until they are reduced to ashes by the Sun's Fire."

"Therefore..."

Aaron naturally knew about The Slingshot, but he also knew that Nick Fury liked to keep a few trinkets for himself.

It was no secret that S.H.I.E.L.D. wasted taxpayer money.

For example, diverting development funds to secretly build aircraft carriers.

Launching some empty Rockets was also possible.

Aaron just looked at him. "Nick Fury, let's stop beating around the bush. I want to pick some items."

"No!" Fury was decisive.

"Is that so? Then I'll cooperate with others."

Fury frowned. "They won't cooperate with you without my orders."

"That's not necessarily true!" Aaron chuckled.

"What do you know?"

Fury felt that Aaron's words had a hidden meaning.

"How about this? Let's make a deal. I'll tell you something you're interested in, and you... let me choose a few 084 objects."

Nick Fury frowned deeply and subconsciously looked at Barbara. Had she told Aaron about the 084 information?

084 objects represent items of unknown origin.

They can be objects, energy, or even people.

Aaron's file within S.H.I.E.L.D. was also 084 — Superman.

"As an Agent of the US, the education I received does not allow me to do something that betrays national interests."

Aaron chuckled.

"Fury, do you think I'm discussing this with you?"

Nick Fury immediately felt a great sense of dread.

Aaron's expression darkened. "Remember, no one can stop what I intend to do!"

Fury's face was grim as he was about to say something.

His phone suddenly rang again.

Fury subconsciously tensed up, vaguely guessing what was happening. Not again!

He picked up the phone and answered.

"Nick Fury, does S.H.I.E.L.D. still want to exist? Are you treating my words as wind passing through your ears? Perhaps I should consider a better candidate, such as Mr. Aaron?"

"I haven't settled the matter of the Hulk and the Abomination with you yet. Don't disappoint me again, and don't disappoint Mr. Aaron again!"

"Otherwise, pack your bags and get out tomorrow!"

"Beep beep!"

Nick Fury's face was dark, and he didn't dare speak throughout the call.

Because the person on the other end was the President... S.H.I.E.L.D.'s status was transcendent, surpassing even the CIA and FBI, reporting directly to the President.

But this also meant that if they displeased the President, he could genuinely fire him immediately.

Fury relented, replying, "I agree!"

Aaron scoffed. He was stubborn until he was forced!

"Nick Fury, didn't you say the education you received didn't allow you to do such things?"

Fury's mouth twitched. "After all, you are America's rising star!!"

Damn it! Could a person like this become a rising star? Wouldn't that make him, Nick Fury, the rising Sun?

Was there any justice left in this World?

Dirty politicians! Damned billionaires!

"Very well, I think tomorrow would be excellent. What do you think?"

Aaron had no intention of wasting words with him and immediately finalized the matter.

Nick Fury nodded. What could he say? He had no choice but to accept it!

"By the way, about the deal you just mentioned..."

"I'm sorry, you'll need to exchange something else for it."

Aaron sneered.

Fury took a deep breath and said kindly, "Mr. Aaron, I think..."

"Wait a moment!"

Aaron ate a grape that Barbara fed him mouth-to-mouth, snapped his fingers, and a mirror appeared in his hand.

He held it facing Nick Fury.

"Get back to normal. I still prefer that unruly look you had just now."

Nick Fury's eyebrows twitched heavily. He didn't know how many times they had twitched today, but he only knew that this was the worst day he had experienced in decades!

This damn bastard!!

Has anyone ever told you that talking to you is incredibly boring!

Looking at his own facial expression in the mirror, which was slightly out of control due to emotional fluctuations,

Calm down, calm down... Nick Fury, you are the King of Agents. How can you lose your composure so easily?

At least... you have successfully planted a spy next to Aaron.

Nick Fury recovered his previous unruly demeanor.

Using the coldest tone, he spoke the most yielding words.

"Mr. Aaron, what do you want? People or objects? Perhaps you can pick a few more things when the time comes; we will certainly cooperate fully!"

"Now that's better!" Aaron smiled.

Since you refused the courtesy I offered, don't blame me for showing my displeasure.

"Then it's settled. Whatever I take a fancy to later, you must give it to me!"

Nick Fury immediately had a bad premonition. Something was wrong. This was a trap!!

I, the King of Agents, have been hit by a honey trap today!!

He wanted to take back his words, but upon hearing Aaron's next sentence, his expression changed drastically.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has an internal mole!"

"Impossible!"

Nick Fury immediately refuted, but the thought of the bastard who had provided Aaron with fake documents flashed through his mind.

"You know about the Exposition attack, right?"

"Are you talking about Bronski?"

"What happened afterward."

Nick Fury frowned. "We are still investigating. This matter is being handled by the most professional Agents, and results will be available soon. Besides, this doesn't prove anything."

Aaron chuckled.

By the time you finish investigating, the trail will be stone cold.

How can one's own people arrest their own people?

If Fury sticks his butt out, Alexander Pierce knows exactly what he's going to fart.

"I guess the final conclusion will definitely be the Ten Rings Gang," Aaron laughed.

Nick Fury's brow furrowed even tighter.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is inappropriate. I suggest you change the name."

"The name is concise and easy to understand."

Nick Fury retorted, "This was also suggested by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s consultant. He is Tony Stark."

"No, what I mean is, it should be renamed the Snake Shield Agency. Sounds pretty good, right?"

"Huh?!!"

Chapter 86: A Groom Every Day, Daring to Contradict the Teacher!

Naturally, the English vocabulary for HYDRA and snake is very different.

But even if HYDRA is special, it is still a snake!

After Nick Fury silently repeated the words twice, he immediately felt uneasy.

Snake and HYDRA.

Is there a connection?

Fury pretended not to understand. "I don't understand what you are trying to say."

"No, you understand. You didn't guess wrong. It is HYDRA."

Without using mental power, Aaron observed Fury's fleeting shock based on his micro-expressions.

It seems the so-called King of Agents isn't as legendary as people say.

"Mr. Aaron, although you have a strong voice with the President, you shouldn't slander S.H.I.E.L.D.'s position."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is S.H.I.E.L.D. Or do you think I am incompetent, allowing a bunch of outsiders to usurp control?"

Aaron was immensely surprised. "So you know too!"

Fury's mouth twitched. Know what? That I'm incompetent?

I have worked diligently at S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years, and my contributions are obvious to all.

Everyone has seen his capabilities.

Who dares say he is incapable?

Ha, yet today, Aaron, an outsider, dares to criticize him!

Very good!

For the sake of your first offense, I will endure it!

Nick Fury had actually vaguely sensed that there were moles within S.H.I.E.L.D., but he didn't think it was much trouble.

Which organization doesn't have internal moles? People are fickle, and facing external temptations, it's understandable that a small portion of people would willingly fall into depravity!

But Nick Fury would not admit it. If he admitted it, wouldn't that suggest his incompetence?

He would rather go back and slowly check things himself.

"Mr. Aaron, I can guarantee that S.H.I.E.L.D. will not be the Snake Shield Agency. If I am lying, then let you become the Director!"

Nick Fury was stubbornly denying it, refusing to admit anything.

Aaron curled his lip. "Please. Be the leader of a bunch of little snakes? This rotten organization, even dogs would despise it!"

So you're saying I'm worse than a dog?

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

Why is this person so handsome, yet his mouth is so utterly disgusting?

He really wanted to rip that mouth apart.

Or just sew it shut.

Nick Fury remained silent for a long time.

He really wanted to stand up resolutely and leave, showing Aaron his back.

But... Fury softened his posture. "What exactly do you know?"

A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm.

To extract more information, he was willing to go all out.

Barbara was still peeling grapes for Aaron.

The two showed affection frequently, and Nick Fury was thoroughly fed up.

Why did he feel like Barbara was taking the fake relationship seriously?

Could she have been subdued by the arrangement?

Fury couldn't help but become vigilant.

He secretly planned to have Sharon come over sooner to take her place, while also monitoring whether Barbarahad defected.

If it was true... 123

Hmph, then he shouldn't be blamed... Forget it.

Aaron chuckled, leaned back, resting on the natural cushion, which felt like a large pomegranate.

Seeing this, Nick Fury kept giving Barbara meaningful glances, but she ignored his signals.

Left with no choice,

Nick Fury could only speak again: "Perhaps we can cooperate further. Regarding Osborn... the Norman Corporation, we absolutely will not interfere, and we will even provide necessary protection and intelligence sharing."

Aaron closed his eyes contentedly. "How about this: I suggest you have someone you can absolutely trust focus on investigating Alexander Pierce."

"In addition to that, there are departments responsible for personnel matters, such as the Quick Response Special Forces and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s subordinate Academies."

"That's all for now. I hope you have a good dream tonight."

A good dream? I'm afraid I'll need sleeping pills to get through the next few days!

Fury secretly gritted his teeth.

He regretted coming to find Aaron.

Listen to what he just said?

Alexander Pierce is his mentor, the previous Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and is currently working on the United Nations Security Council.

He is also the Chairman of the Council!

Although he has left S.H.I.E.L.D., he still has his own exclusive office there even now!

The Quick Response Special Forces are S.H.I.E.L.D.'s specialized unit responsible for field missions. Every member is the elite of the elite, and they are one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most crucial armed forces!

And the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy is even more remarkable.

It is mainly divided into the Academy of Science and Technology, the Academy of Communications, and the Academy of Operations, among others.

The Academy of Science and Technology is primarily intended to cultivate and guide the smartest brains in the World.

Without an IQ above 120, or a Dr. degree, don't even think about getting in!

The Academy of Communications is mainly responsible for cultivating talents in data analysis, communications, and networking. Upon graduation, they are immediately absorbed into S.H.I.E.L.D. and assigned to various branch Bases or the headquarters worldwide.

The Academy of Operations is mainly responsible for cultivating talents in combat operations, including command and frontline Agents. The elimination rate and Death rate are extremely high.

Over the decades, the Academy has supplied S.H.I.E.L.D.with more than half of its Agents.

If the people Aaron mentioned have problems... the thought alone makes his scalp tingle.

There are also other personnel departments responsible for external recruitment.

If HYDRA really has moles planted in these departments, is S.H.I.E.L.D. truly under his control?

The scope of the implication is so vast, and the number of people involved is so wide.

Checking them one by one is simply unrealistic.

Even Nick Fury didn't know where to start at this moment.

No, to be precise, it's impossible to check them all!

When you find one cockroach in a room, countless others are certainly hidden in the darkness!

It's impossible to distinguish or sort out.

It might be better to just tear off the roof and say goodbye to everyone!

Nick Fury didn't know how he had left.

Looking at the still bright Sun in the sky,

yet he couldn't feel the slightest warmth, shivering all over!

"Is everything he said true? Or is he simply annoyed with me and deliberately trying to make me overthink things?"

Nick Fury's expression was volatile.

That's the drawback of being an Agent: even if someone says something unintentionally, no matter how ridiculous, they must constantly think about it and speculate.

Regardless of whether it's true or false, it must be verified.

If it turns out to be false, a thorn will still remain in his heart.

If it's true...

Nick Fury subconsciously glanced at the bulletproof car parked by the roadside.

They wouldn't have planted a bomb, would they?

A bus drove by, seemingly heading in his direction?

"Officer, should we leave now?"

A bald man with glasses approached, his gaze sweeping over the upstairs, a respectful smile on his face.

He was S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Jasper Sitwell.

More importantly, he was also a Genius who graduated from the academy!

He was now a Level Seven S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent with high authority, and also the Field Operations Officer for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s central headquarters.

He had been temporarily transferred to assist Coulsondue to the Thor incident.

Nick Fury instinctively guarded against him, always feeling that this bald man didn't seem like a good person.

He found fault with everyone now.

There were always wicked commoners trying to harm him!

If it were anyone else, Nick Fury would only be somewhat suspicious.

But the person speaking was Aaron, the God Among Men, king of the gods.

If a God speaks, would you believe him or not?

Even if this God was a bit mischievous, he wouldn't dare to ignore it.

"Damn it, Aaron is truly not a human being!"

"Officer?" Sitwell still wore a gentle smile.

"Are we still arranging for a Quinjet or..."

"No! Go to 219 West 47th Avenue, New York."

This used to be the headquarters until it was moved after the Triskelion Building was completed.

But this Base was not abandoned; it remained one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most important branches.

Nick Fury was about to get into the car when he immediately paused, "You stay here and await further instructions; I'll go alone."

Sitwell nodded, watching the other party leave.

Fury was truly scared.

Before getting into the car, he subtly glanced around, conscientiously driving in a circle to check his rearview mirrors.

He also used the reflection from his leather shoes to inspect the underside of the car.

He only got in after confirming there were no problems.

It was a while before he drove off.

Although Sitwell was puzzled, he wasn't surprised.

In the Agent line of work, those who weren't vigilant would have long since taken a one-way flight to report to Heaven.

Of course, perhaps he would go to Hell in the future? Who knows.

Sitwell subtly adjusted his earpiece, "I'm right here, everything is normal."

Nick Fury drove, keeping a close watch on his surroundings, and then contacted each of his most trusted subordinates, asking them to rush to the New York Baseimmediately.

This included Agent Hill from the Triskelion Building in Washington, D.C.

As for others, such as Advanced Agents like Sitwell, they were not within his consideration.

The academy faction, they couldn't be trusted!

Not long after Nick Fury left,

Barbara was also very shocked, but she didn't dwell on it.

Now she was no longer with S.H.I.E.L.D. but Aaron's woman.

More importantly... "My dear, I've prepared some good things."

Barbara kissed him, then turned and bent down to get the shopping bag, her back perfectly facing Aaron, revealing her flawless waist and hip curve.

As she bent down, Barbara's long dress clung tightly to her body, her perky backside clearly visible.

Aaron raised an eyebrow, "I've also prepared some good things."

Aaron snapped his fingers, and a green figure suddenly appeared.

"Huh? This is... Master?" (baai)

Mantis looked at the two with confusion.

Although a strange woman appeared, Barbara remained calm, continuing her previous actions and taking out the good things.

A very alluring piece of intimate clothing.

Barbara changed into it in front of Mantis.

The latter watched their actions with great curiosity.

"Come here."

Aaron beckoned.

Mantis walked over.

"Let's play billiards.

Put your hand on Barbara, hook your body like this, hold the cue well, and remember to use your ability to truly experience it."

"Huh?"

Mantis was very curious.

She had never played billiards and clumsily imitated Barbara's movements.

Then... "Oh!! It's in the hole!"

Mantis's empathic ability was quite powerful.

She could perfectly share Barbara's emotions.

At the same time, there were other sensory shares.

Super super amplified!

Aaron was playing billiards for the first time, but he was very talented, getting two holes with one shot.

Both the speed and the strength, as well as the angle, were quite perfect.

Aaron felt this wasn't his limit and could completely try a three-hole shot again.

This perfectly solved the problem of others only being able to watch when two people played.

"I'm truly a Genius!"

Aaron was having too much fun to think of anything else, having long forgotten about Nick Fury and those matters.

He hated HYDRA and couldn't stand S.H.I.E.L.D., so he simply arranged for them to fight amongst themselves.

And he, in turn, would reap the benefits.

Perhaps Nick Fury would guess this, but what could he do?

This was an open scheme; even if he knew there was a trap ahead, he had no choice but to step into it.

Who told HYDRA to love them so deeply?

You are in me, and I am in you; everyone is united, indistinguishable.

This kind of twisted love was truly too great.

After a while,

Aaron also enhanced Barbara's abilities.

Super Healing was a must, a cellular-level recovery ability that surpassed Norman's, practically an undying body.

There was also Super Immunity and Super Adaptation.

Enough to make her immune to all toxins and viruses on Earth, a truly invulnerable body!

At the same time, she could adapt to various extreme environments on Earth; even in the cold of winter, she could go out in a short-sleeved shirt without any problems.

In addition to this, Aaron also granted her a basic one hundred tons of Super Strength and an Iron Body made of three fused metals.

Super Flexibility and Temperature Control were certainly necessary, both standard equipment.

Other abilities were some normal ones, such as dynamic vision and Super Reaction.

In just an instant, Barbara became an existence on par with Hulk.

Her direct combat ability was not as good as Hulk's, but in terms of defense and vitality, she far surpassed Hulk!

Combined with her fighting skills and wisdom, she was enough to go toe-to-toe with Hulk, and without any side effects.

After Barbara gained these powers,

she foolishly tried to challenge Aaron again.

Then, she paid a heavy price for her actions.

Just as Aaron was looking for Mantis again,

Barbara struggled to get a super healing potion.

"What are you doing?"

Aaron thought Barbara wanted to recover her spirit, "A super healing potion doesn't have the ability to restore stamina; with your current abilities..."

"Open your mouth!"

"Ah ah..."

Gugugu.

Aaron watched Mantis obediently drink the super healing potion.

Barbara looked at her expectantly.

Instantly, Aaron understood.

She wanted him to be a newlywed every day?!

"Don't even think about it.

Norman and the others considered this situation; neither Super Healing One nor Limb Rebirth One has the function you're thinking of."

Barbara, hearing this, had to abandon that stimulating idea.

However, Aaron's words came again, "But we have a secret product that possesses this function, not for external sale."

Originally, Super Healing One had this ability.

But for the sake of his many brothers and compatriots, so they wouldn't be deceived by XXNs looking for honest men to take over, Aaron had Norman and his team design this censored version.

He had gone to great lengths for his brothers.

If the real thing were to circulate, wouldn't that drive up prices?

Aaron played for an entire day.

By late evening,

he returned to the Villa.

As soon as he entered, he saw Savannah and Nina sitting on the living room sofa, waiting, along with Felicia who was accompanying them.

Even Jean was sitting alone in another corner.

The four watched TV, but their thoughts were all different.

"Brother-in-law, you're back!"

Savannah bounced over.

"Are you all waiting for me? Are you not used to life here?"

Aaron caught her, a little guiltily.

Savannah asked, a look of confusion on her face.

Is there some strange smell?

She didn't think much of it.

"No, not at all. Life here is great! Aside from the air not being so good and the scenery not being so beautiful, it's quite interesting."

"Felicia took us to stroll around the commercial streets nearby, and we played games and experienced many things that Alfheim doesn't have."

"Just get used to it. If you want to play anything, remember to tell Felicia. She will arrange it."

Savannah and Nina had just arrived on Earth, and everything here was strange to them.

Naturally, they needed a guide to help them familiarize themselves every day.

As for Mantis, Aaron had already instructed Barbara to take care of her.

Barbara was a teacher after all; educating people and teaching was her duty.

In return, Barbara taught Mantis knowledge, while Aarontaught Barbara how to educate people, which was considered a fair exchange.

Every time, it was a business worth billions.

It's just that occasionally, she would contradict the teacher regardless of the setting.

But as a student, that's normal!

"Boss, I haven't been around these past few days, so the Corporation..."

Felicia said with some worry.

She wasn't power-hungry; she was worried that the Corporation would simply shut down in her absence.

In the past few days, she had completely understood Aaron's preferences.

He didn't care about the Corporation at all.

Aaron was very moved. This was truly his good secretary, so he decided to teach Felicia the language of cooing today—something Barbara had taught him through example all afternoon.

Giving Felicia a look, Aaron signaled her to relax.

"Don't worry. Tomorrow, I'm going to look for an executive secretary to help share your burden."

"I'm giving you a long vacation for the next few days. Go have fun; all your food and drink expenses will be reimbursed by the Corporation!"

Felicia was not jealous; instead, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Heavens, finally someone could help her share the mountain-high stack of documents and the terrifying temper that was like a volcano.

Just as Felicia let out a long breath, she saw Aaron put down Savannah and pat her on the shoulder.

"Felicia, I have something I need to discuss with you tonight."

"Huh?"

Chapter 87: S.H.I.E.L.D. Base, zero matter.

219 West 47th Avenue, New York.

Nick Fury, Agent Hill, Natasha, Barton, and Coulson were gathered around a round table.

They looked at one another.

These were the Advanced Agents Nick Fury trusted the most.

Most of the other trustworthy Agents were executing missions elsewhere.

Only these few were near New York.

Moreover, these matters were not convenient to reveal to more people.

Natasha said with some emotion, "Director, I just applied for a day off... can I request to swap my vacation day to tomorrow?"

Nick Fury shook his head.

Coulson rubbed his head, "Officer, I just drank all night with Thor yesterday evening. My mind is unclear right now. Can I rest for one night first?"

Nick Fury frowned. He almost forgot about this matter.

"Did you gain anything?"

Coulson sighed, realizing he wouldn't get a vacation tonight.

"Yes, I already know the relationship between Aaron and Asgard."

Hill, Natasha, Barton, and the others immediately became serious.

Especially Natasha; hearing that Aaron had become a God King made her the most displeased.

Why did such an ill-tempered person rise a step every few days?

In less than a month,

he went from being the CEO of the Osborn Group to the king of the gods!

She didn't understand where exactly she had lost.

Coulson continued to explain: "According to Thor, Aaronis the son of bor, wielding the Divine Power of Asgard. At the same time, he is also the son of a God, possessing the strength of a God."

"Based on his identity, he is Odin's brother, and the uncle of Thor and Loki."

"Therefore, during the Mjolnir incident, Odin invited Aaron to return to Asgard and share Asgard, as well as the Nine Realms, with him."

"..."

Coulson relayed what Thor had said in a more concise manner.

Finally, he hesitated and added one more sentence.

"However, I noticed that Loki seemed quite dismissive of this claim, yet his level of respect for Aaron even surpassed that for Thor."

Coulson was somewhat uncertain.

But Nick Fury let out a cold laugh.

"Odin's brother? The son of bor? I heard Odin has lived for nearly five thousand years, hasn't he? Thor is also over fifteen hundred years old."

"Looking at it that way, Bor has been dead for at least three thousand years, and Aaron is only twenty-two. Is he really Odin's brother?"

"Did Bor crawl out of his grave to give birth to him?"

Nick Fury shook his head.

He didn't understand how capable those so-called God Race members truly were.

But based on basic deduction, Odin's words didn't hold up at all.

This was probably just Odin's excuse.

As for his true intentions—

Nick Fury didn't dwell on it, because it wasn't important.

At least to outsiders, Aaron was the king of asgard, the King of the Nine Realms!

Wait a minute, could it be that Odin valued Aaron's strength and wanted to use his power to deter others?

Odin... seems very old?

Can Gods also die?

Thinking of this possibility, Fury was secretly alarmed. Wouldn't that mean Aaron's strength was even greater than Odin's?

No, it seems they need to raise Aaron's threat level again!

Damn it, why is that guy such a monster!

The others, hearing this, had varying thoughts.

"Alright, we should discuss some serious business."

Nick Fury tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention.

This surprised everyone. What could be more important than Aaron and Asgard?

Those were the legendary Deities and the Nine Great Kingdoms!

Nick Fury understood their thoughts, but there was no helping it. Although Asgard was important, the S.H.I.E.L.D. crisis was imminent.

He selectively revealed a portion of the intelligence Aaronhad provided.

Instantly,

the entire sealed space became exceptionally quiet.

"So, what are your thoughts?"

Seeing that they had mostly processed the information, Nick Fury spoke.

Hill was silent, Coulson's head was no longer fuzzy, Natasha's brows were furrowed, and Barton, who had been looking at his hands, also fell into deep thought.

Coulson patted his still somewhat red face, "Officer, when do we divide the assets and go our separate ways?"

Nick Fury stared at him with a stern expression.

Coulson spread his hands, "Officer, if the situation is truly as serious as you say, S.H.I.E.L.D. is already a terminally ill patient, beyond cure."

His meaning was clear: S.H.I.E.L.D. was finished. Before HYDRA made its move, everyone should divide the assets and return home.

However, under Nick Fury's Death glare, Coulson touched his dangerously receding hairline and said with a wry smile.

"Alright, I just saw the atmosphere was heavy, so I made a little joke."

"Natasha?"

"I'm thinking about where I should sleep tonight."

Natasha sighed.

Oh well, the vacation is gone.

Even if she had one, she wouldn't dare relax and enjoy herself.

Who knows if there's a HYDRA Agent watching her nearby?

"Barton?"

Nick Fury asked, and seeing Barton still deep in thought, he looked toward Hill, who was busy taking out the paper and pen she carried with her.

Fury's eyes lit up at the sight.

"Hill, do you have a plan?"

Hill didn't speak. Coulson leaned over to look, and his eyes widened.

"A resume?!"

Hill looked up, "I plan to apply for a job at the Osborn Group tomorrow."

Everyone: !!!

"As things stand, only the Osborn Group is safe. I need to find a new employer in advance."

Nick Fury's mouth twitched. You have to be kidding me, right?

Good heavens, I just shared some information with you, and every single one of you is thinking about running away?

Coulson and Barton looked thoughtful.

The former was considering continuing to foster a good relationship with Thor, while the latter was pondering what special skills he had that could help him successfully apply for a job.

Natasha felt a pang of resentment. Everyone else could choose the Osborn Group, but she couldn't.

"Alright, this is not the time for jokes. We need to think about what we should do."

No one spoke.

No matter how they looked at it, this problem was unsolvable!

How many HYDRA members were actually inside S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Did they exceed half?

What was the proportion among administrative staff and field Agents?

How could they determine if the person next to them was friend or foe?

They couldn't even completely guarantee whether, within this small space, the five of them could fully trust each other.

HYDRA has been lurking in ambush for at least several decades.

They had likely completed their infiltration long before they even joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

Looking at it this way,

everyone present is a suspect!

Nick Fury took out a document and handed it to the others.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. Communication Protocol?"

"If I am attacked, the first thing you must do is inject me with Pufferfish Toxin B to lower my heart rate and induce suspended animation."

"The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. We must reverse this situation to turn the tide."

This was a temporary solution Nick Fury had racked his brain to come up with.

Although he could mobilize more resources openly, his every move would be noticed by those with ulterior motives.

This also meant he found it difficult to make further arrangements.

In fact, he had also considered cooperating with Aaron.

He thought about it for a long time and realized this was Aaron's 'open scheme'.

He wanted to pit himself against HYDRA.

Using a borrowed knife to kill someone?

No, Aaron had no need to do that.

Perhaps, he simply wanted to watch the fun!

Coulson hesitated, saying, "I think we can think of a better way."

"For example... seeking Aaron's help!"

Barton shook his head: "He won't agree."

There was something else he didn't say.

Because Nick Fury had deliberately stalled multiple times, the agreement they had finalized long ago had never been fulfilled.

This meant the possibility of cooperation between the two sides was slim.

Nick Fury also understood this point.

He was filled with remorse.

If he had known Aaron was so abnormal, he definitely wouldn't have deliberately delayed.

"Hill, where are those things?"

Nick Fury asked.

Since he had identified the crux of the problem, the best way forward was to mend their relationship.

Even if they couldn't get Aaron's help, it was fine.

They only needed to ensure that the relationship between Aaron and S.H.I.E.L.D. was better than his relationship with HYDRA.

Hearing this, Hill, who was diligently writing a resume with her head down, pulled out another document and handed it over.

Nick Fury looked at it; these were S.H.I.E.L.D.'s treasures!

They contained the valuable lives of countless excellent Agents!

However, when he thought that some of these Agents also had HYDRA blood, his mood improved slightly.

Subsequently,

Nick Fury and the others gathered around the communication protocol to further refine the subsequent plan.

This discussion lasted an entire night.

The next day,

Fury, Coulson, Hill, and Natasha stood by the door, sporting dark circles under their eyes.

They stared unblinkingly outside the door.

Coulson glanced at the time: exactly nine o'clock.

"Officer, did he say he would come today?"

Nick Fury stated confidently: "If he said today, then it must be today."

"Is there a possibility it might be in the afternoon?"

Coulson felt dizzy and muddle-headed.

He had spent the entire night drinking with Thor and Loki, and apparently even hooked up with a girl? Then he was called back to discuss matters all night long.

Coulson, who was middle-aged and felt his body was giving out, felt like he couldn't keep going much longer.

Fury shook his head: "According to his schedule, he generally doesn't do serious business in the afternoon."

Or... Aaron never does serious business.

The group waited and waited, and soon ten o'clock passed.

Just as they were starting to wonder if Aaron would only arrive in the afternoon,

the figure, like a savior descending from heaven, finally appeared in their sight!

The group simultaneously sighed in relief.

This lord has finally arrived!

As soon as Aaron had one foot across the threshold,

"Welcome, Mr. Aaron!"

Natasha, Coulson, and the others greeted him with smiles.

Aaron was surprised. "What are you doing?"

He looked around, then withdrew his foot.

Then he stepped across the threshold again.

"Welcome!"

"!!!"

Since when did S.H.I.E.L.D. become a supermarket?

Nick Fury, sensing the faint gazes directed at them from the lobby, coughed twice.

"Mr. Aaron, what you need is inside. Please follow me."

Although he was thick-skinned, this overly flattering behavior was still too embarrassing.

Aaron followed behind them, looking around the S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.

He had to admit, the atmosphere here was truly different from other companies.

People coming and going were all rushing about.

Occasionally, people discussed things, but they spoke very quietly.

Nobody rested; it was as if they wished they could split themselves in two to work more.

The efficiency was top-notch.

Just as Nick Fury and the others reached the eighth floor,

a man with short blonde hair and glasses walked over from the corridor.

He was very surprised to see Nick Fury and the others.

"Nick, what's wrong with you guys? Didn't you rest well last night?"

He looked up at Aaron, becoming even more surprised.

Then, wearing a bright smile, he proactively walked up to shake Aaron's hand and introduce himself.

"Isn't this the god of miracles? Goodness, I never thought you would come to a place like ours."

If it had been before, Nick Fury wouldn't have questioned why Pierce was here.

But today, he instantly felt something was wrong.

Normally, Pierce never came here; if he went anywhere, it was the Triskelion Building.

Why did he suddenly appear in New York after they had just spent one night discussing things here?

Even more coincidentally, why did Pierce happen to run into them just after they brought Aaron up?

Fury and the others exchanged subtle glances.

"Sir, do I know you?" Aaron feigned confusion.

He truly had never seen the man before.

Pierce's smile became slightly awkward.

"My apologies, I was simply too excited to see a Zhenren (Immortal) in person."

"I am Alexander Pierce, the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., currently working for the United Nations Security Council. I have long heard of your great name, and I never expected to run into you here today!"

"It is truly an honor!"

"Mr. Aaron, I am a fan of yours! Your talent, just like your handsome appearance, is unattainable!"

Pierce shook his hand firmly, his enthusiasm slightly overbearing.

Seeing that Pierce was about to steal the spotlight, Nick Fury suddenly felt a sense of crisis and quickly stepped forward.

"Alexander, today I am here on the President's orders to bring Mr. Aaron to look for 'inspiration.' If you have other matters, please attend to them first."

Pierce laughed heartily, "So it was the President's command. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. usually doesn't allow outsiders to enter freely, if it's Mr. Aaron, then there's no problem!"

"I have finished my business and was about to leave, but since Mr. Aaron has arrived, I might as well give him a tour."

You old bastard, get lost!

Nick Fury increasingly felt that the man was suspicious.

Could he really be the head of HYDRA?

Nick Fury gave a signal.

Coulson reacted immediately.

"Mr. Pierce, I have a very important matter I need to report to you..."

"What could be more important than properly accompanying Mr. Aaron?" Pierce looked displeased.

"It might concern the United Nations..." Coulson looked troubled.

Seeing this, Pierce knew he couldn't be too enthusiastic.

Since they had brought up international security, if he didn't show concern, he would arouse Nick Fury's suspicion.

"I apologize, Mr. Aaron. Next time, I will definitely give you a proper tour!"

Pierce expressed his apology again.

But Aaron didn't show much of a pleasant expression.

He merely nodded slowly.

Then he followed Nick Fury away.

A flicker of dissatisfaction crossed Pierce's eyes.

But he quickly returned to normal and began discussing United Nations security issues with Coulson.

It was simply that the existence of Asgard had been confirmed, and they might establish an "embassy" on Earth.

After hearing this, no matter how unhappy Pierce was, he listened very carefully now.

This matter was of great importance!

Meanwhile, on the other side,

"These are all the 084 objects you've collected?"

Aaron looked at the sealed boxes, one after another, his tone filled with suspicion.

Before Nick Fury could speak, Hill had already begun.

"There are 157 objects here, 25 of which are classified as 084 objects."

"There are also some 084 objects located at the Triskelion Building. This is the manifest. If what you need is not here, we can immediately proceed to the Washington D.C. headquarters."

Hill handed a manifest to Aaron.

Fury's single remaining eye stared intensely at Hill.

Something is wrong! Very wrong!

I am the Director!

Thinking back to last night, he couldn't help but wonder if Hill truly harbored the intention of joining the Osborn Group.

Aaron took the manifest and examined it item by item.

"Are there any more detailed files?"

"Yes!"

Hill, who had prepared in advance, took out a laptop nearby and connected it to the local network.

Standing beside Aaron, she introduced the items one by one.

"This object is a special energy generator recovered from a HYDRA Base during World War II..."

Hill did not specify the type of special energy, but Aaronhad his suspicions.

"This object is 084—zero matter, a type of dark power..."

"zero matter?"

Aaron felt a sense of familiarity and glanced at it.

"Peggy Carter?"

"Yes, the first person to discover zero matter was Peggy Carter, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. She discovered this dark power during a mission."

"Given its danger, Young Miss Carter and Howard Starkresolved the situation involving the zero matter and then sealed it away."

Hill had clearly prepared thoroughly, knowing detailed information about every item here.

Seeing that Aaron seemed quite interested, Hillcontinued:

"In 1945, during a nuclear weapons test conducted by the Isodyne Energy Corporation, a fissure appeared at the center of the explosion, sucking all surrounding matter into it."

"After the explosion, a mass of oily black liquid remained. This is the zero matter..."

Before she could finish,

Aaron stated firmly: "I'll take it!"

Chapter 88: Power of Fear! Dark Dominator!

The zero matter is extremely important because it is both mysterious and highly dangerous.

If Howard Stark hadn't researched and developed the Gamma Ray Cannon to close the zero matter portal back then,

the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Such a dangerous object should have been sent to the Slingshot site and thrown into the Sun.

But clearly, Nick Fury was not as righteous as he claimed.

Hill looked toward Nick Fury.

She did not have the authority to make a decision regarding this object, which was very unique even among the 084 classification.

So, you finally noticed me, the Director!

Nick Fury glanced at the laptop, meeting Aaron's undeniable gaze.

He remained silent for a moment. "This object doesn't seem like the key component for making human enhancement serums."

Nick Fury tried one last time to resist. "I suggest you look at the follow-up data. It is very dangerous."

"Once touched, the human body may transform into a special quantum state, invisible and intangible."

"Furthermore, it can influence and change a person's will, driving them mad and leading them toward self-destruction..."

"The harm caused by zero matter doesn't stop there. It also absorbs a person's life force, absorbs light, assimilates people, and can even transport them to an unknown Dark Dimension..."

Aaron didn't waste words with him; he directly picked up the new phone he had just bought, which didn't even have a SIM card.

Wait, not again!

Seeing this, Fury had no choice but to concede.

"Okay, I'll take you!"

The zero matter was not located here.

Instead, S.H.I.E.L.D. stored it in a special glass container.

In the Reality Universe, it appeared as a black liquid suspended in the air, somewhat resembling a black version of the Aether Particle.

Its volume was not large, about the size of a fist.

"This is a residual portion of the zero matter that we discovered later. We do not have a second Gamma Ray Cannon, so we can only keep it confined here."

Nick Fury made his final defense.

"How do you plan to take it away?"

"I'll reiterate, it is very dangerous..."

Before Fury finished speaking, Aaron had already arrived next to the glass container.

His entire body seemed to turn into a phantom, treating the glass as nothing, and walked directly inside the container.

Fury's subsequent words came to an abrupt halt.

That ability... why does it seem familiar?

Phasing? Invisibility? Intangibility!!

It looks like... Shadow!

Fury's expression subtly changed. He exchanged glances with Hill, both recognizing what the other was thinking.

Shadow's name is Ava. Her father was Dr. Elihas, and when he attempted to build a quantum tunnel for a quantum experiment, the experiment resulted in an accidental explosion.

Mr. and Mrs. Elihas both perished.

Only the young Ava was left behind. After the quantum shock, her body was quantum-modified, granting her the ability to change her own molecular structure.

She can become intangible, invisible, and phase through walls at will.

However, her body cells are extremely unstable, and she could disappear from reality at any moment—meaning she could become completely quantumized, turning into an intangible Shadow.

In 1995, S.H.I.E.L.D. took her away from Professor Bill, training her to become a secret Agent code-named Shadow.

Aaron's ability just now was exactly the same as Shadow's!

He definitely couldn't be mistaken!

Could Aaron have also undergone quantum experimentation?

As he was thinking, he suddenly saw Aaron actually reaching out toward the zero matter.

Fury opened his mouth wide, about to shout.

When the zero matter touched Aaron's right hand, it initially moved toward him willingly.

But the next instant, the zero matter, which lacked self-awareness, suddenly struggled and tried to move away from Aaron.

It was as if it had seen some terrifying monster, instinctively trying to escape.

Aaron curled his lip and whispered like a demon: "Since you're here, come inside obediently!"

His right hand actively moved forward, absorbing and Fusing all the zero matter!

[Fear Control: You have mastered the power of fear, capable of summoning the existence that life fears most in its subconscious.]

[Dark Force Field: You can create a dark space containing only absolute darkness, capable of absorbing all light. Those imprisoned within will see terrifying illusions and experience cold, fear, and loss of consciousness, leading to breakdown and even Death.]

[Life Force Absorption: You can rapidly absorb the life force of others.]

[Possession: You can transform into an energy-based life form and possess others at will.]

[Energy Absorption: Similar abilities detected and Fused. You can absorb light energy and heat energy faster, and can even generate dark Shadows around you.]

[Key to the Fear Dimension: You can freely open and close the portal to the Fear Dimension (Dark Dimension, Dark Force Dimension).]

[Dark Force Control (Dark Control): You have mastered Dark Force energy and can manipulate it at will for purposes including, but not limited to, flight, shapeshifting, opening and closing dimensional portals, absorbing life force, and instantaneous movement (one step taken in the Dark Force Dimension, or Fear Dimension, is equal to one mile (1.6 kilometers) on Earth)...]

[Intangibility: You can arbitrarily render people intangible and immaterial like a Shadow. Life forms in this state generally cannot affect the Reality Universe, but they can move freely in the Reality World.]

Note: The Fear Dimension contains unknown dangers. Ordinary people entering it may suffer unknown effects.

Wow, that was a huge gain!

Aaron did not know much about zero matter.

He just thought this thing should count as a decent mysterious substance.

But now it seems,

this is definitely a divine object, no, a demonic object, no less significant than Mjolnir.

After Fusion, Aaron knew exactly what zero matter was.

zero matter is a specialty of the Fear Dimension, and the Fear Dimension is the product of the Fusion of the Dark Dimension, dark power, and fear power.

In fact, the Fear Dimension could also be considered an alternative Dark Dimension.

Both exist simultaneously within the Fractured Domain, with the Dark Dimension being the largest fragment space among them.

From this perspective, Dormammu can also control the powers of fear and darkness, and his Domain likely contains zero matter as well.

In the Marvel Universe, objects like the Cloak, Blackout, the Staff of One, and the Koen Stone are all related to the Fear Dimension.

And now, he has mastered a portion of the Fear Dimension's characteristics.

If he wished,

he could even abandon his physical body and transform into an intangible, immaterial energy-based deity with infinite life.

Achieving eternal life in a spiritual state.

Or possess others, controlling their bodies' actions.

In other words,

these abilities are sufficient to forge a powerful Dark Deity.

For Aaron, the boost was significant.

However, Aaron did not want to become a projected divine entity of the Fear Dimension; he was already a god himself.

To others, this would be a shortcut to godhood, but to Aaron, it was a dead end with no future prospects.

After digesting the zero matter, Aaron walked out of the container.

"Are you alright?"

Fury quickly asked, but recalling how the zero matter had tried to flee Aaron's right hand moments before, he realized his question was pointless.

What on Earth is Aaron?

The zero matter was already dark and bizarre enough, yet Aaron was even darker!

You wouldn't happen to be the legendary Dark Lord, would you?

Fury muttered inwardly, his body unconsciously maintaining a relatively safe distance from Aaron.

Aaron noticed his movement and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing. That thing was truly too dangerous, so I have already wiped it from this World."

Fury's eyelid twitched.

Aren't you the most dangerous existence in this World? How dare you call zero matter dangerous?

It is clearly just a 'wretch' trying to survive.

Aaron saw through his thoughts and sneered, "You don't believe me?"

"I believe you!" Fury nodded repeatedly.

He dared not disbelieve.

"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. That thing is about to open an interdimensional gate at any moment. Once whatever is inside runs out, not only will your Basebe finished, but even the Earth will be doomed!"

As Aaron spoke, he took Hill's laptop.

"Let me see... I can sense other similar auras in here."

Nick Fury glanced at the empty container, then looked at Aaron's calm expression.

Did he believe him? Perhaps he did, or perhaps he didn't.

In any case, the zero matter had vanished, and no one would refute whatever Aaron said.

He would tentatively believe it.

Aaron then reviewed some documents.

He selectively picked out several objects that might be useful, though he wasn't sure exactly how.

In fact, most of what was here were remnants of HYDRA.

Many were related to the power of the Space Stone.

There weren't many items with special properties similar to zero matter.

"Hmm, there's no Gravitonium here?"

Aaron frowned slightly.

From the depths of his memory, he recalled that S.H.I.E.L.D. was not the initial discoverer of Gravitonium.

Instead, it was dug up by a man named Ian Quinn.

Gravitonium is an extremely rare element; when electrified, it can create a gravitational field, thereby mastering anti-gravity technology.

In Marvel, there is a person who gained the ability to control gravity after absorbing Gravitonium—he is Graviton.

At his Peak, he could destroy the Earth using gravity.

Although Aaron had already mastered gravity during his time in Asgard, he wanted to see if melting Gravitonium could further enhance his abilities.

Thinking of this,

Aaron gave up on Gravitonium and instead searched for two other special objects—the kree monolith and the K'n-n monolith.

The former possesses the ability to traverse space.

The K'n-n monoliths, however, are three, controlling the abilities of space, time, and creation, respectively.

Since he was already here, Aaron naturally wanted to get all the useful 084 objects in one go.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't have the ability to use them.

If they remained in their hands, they would not only fail to function but would also cause more trouble.

"The kree monolith... this must be it!"

After browsing through the files, Aaron only saw the kree monolith but did not find the K'n-n monolith.

"Bring me these two items."

Hill glanced at the identification numbers and immediately turned and left.

Nick Fury opened his mouth, noticed Aaron's gaze, and reluctantly closed it again.

Forget it, forget it. He needed to find a way to get rid of this evil star first... Before long,

Hill came in carrying a briefcase.

"We only store the Obelisk here. As for the other monolith, it is currently located at the Triskelion Building."

"It seems Mr. Pierce places great importance on that item."

How could he not take it seriously?

Aaron knew that the monolith was related to HYDRA's Old ancestor.

Once the monolith was activated, it could teleport people to Maveth.

HYDRA's object of worship, Hive of the Inhumans, was exiled on Maveth for thousands of years.

His worshippers constantly sought to bring Hive back and gradually developed into HYDRA.

However, by now,

HYDRA was no longer the HYDRA of the past.

It had split into several factions.

Such as Baron Strucker in Europe, and Alexander Piercein the United States, among others.

As the leader of the current strongest HYDRA branch, Pierce was not interested in welcoming Hive back.

His current sphere of influence even surpassed Red Skull's during World War II.

As long as the Insight Project succeeded, he could lead HYDRA to become the Master of the World.

Which ambitious person would want another Masterabove him?

This is why Pierce placed such importance on the kree monolith, keeping it constantly under his watch.

Nick Fury's expression changed again.

He hadn't felt this way before, but now, if something was related to Pierce, it definitely meant trouble!

"I will personally retrieve that stone!"

Nick Fury immediately guaranteed, "I will figure out the situation with the monolith and send the item to the Osborn Group as soon as possible."

Aaron nodded and took the briefcase from Hill's hand.

He noticed there was also a document on top.

He scanned it, and his expression shifted slightly.

After thinking for a moment,

Aaron said to Nick Fury, "You haven't forgotten what you promised me yesterday, have you?"

Fury had a bad feeling. He wanted to deny it, but he didn't have the courage.

"You... tell me!"

"Currently, the Osborn Group is short of two secretaries."

Aaron glanced at Hill. "I think her abilities are very strong. What do you say?"

Fury forced a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Hill is the Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and also the person designated by the United Nations Security Council to assist me. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Hearing this, Aaron picked up his phone and tapped it a few times.

In reality, he was directly infiltrating the signal network.

Nick Fury's eyelids twitched wildly.

You're doing this again?!

Soon,

As the phone rang, Fury slowly answered the call.

"Mm-hmm, alright! No problem, I'll arrange it immediately! I will absolutely satisfy all of Mr. Aaron's requirements! I guarantee it!"

Putting down the phone,

Fury looked at Aaron with eyes full of helplessness.

You are a god, so why did you come to Earth only to learn its worst cultural aspects?

He had actually mastered the Earth's method of leveraging power to bully others to perfection.

"Can you handle it now?"

Aaron said with a half-smile.

Fury nodded. "I will immediately arrange Hill's resignation procedures."

Fury really wanted to refuse. Hill's competence was obvious to all; she was definitely the best administrative deputy, helping him deal with many troubles.

However, what could he do? He was also desperate!

The person who just called him was still the President.

But this time was different from before.

This time, the President represented not only the United States but also the will of the other four permanent members of the United Nations.

They had bypassed Alexander Pierce of the United Nations Security Council and directly intervened in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s personnel arrangements.

Normally,

S.H.I.E.L.D. was directly under the jurisdiction of the United States.

But in reality,

When S.H.I.E.L.D. was first established, it was governed by the Allied Forces.

Later, in order to gain global special operations authority, S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally came under the management and monitoring of the United Nations.

Otherwise, how could a purely American organization freely execute armed missions in other sovereign nations?

If it was just the President of the United States, he wouldn't be able to resist.

Let alone the collective will of the United Nations.

He was the true Alexander!

Life was difficult. Fury sighed.

"Very good!"

Aaron nodded with satisfaction. Being able to take someone away without resorting to force—that was the highest Realm!

"Hill, take all the items I need. As for the rest... I believe Fury will handle the arrangements properly."

Aaron dusted his hands and left.

"Sorry, Fury, I belong to Aaron now."

Hill shrugged and immediately followed Aaron's steps.

Even she was a little surprised.

Hill hadn't actually decided if she truly wanted to leave S.H.I.E.L.D., but she hadn't expected Aaron to have such tremendous influence.

The matter was settled before she even had a chance to think it over.

Now, regardless of anything else, leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. was a foregone conclusion.

The big bosses upstairs had spoken; were they supposed to change their orders overnight?

"Damn it, a bunch of incompetent teammates!!"

Nick Fury was so angry he started cursing loudly.

He didn't fear opponents like gods, only teammates like pigs.

Your Majesty, why did you defect to the enemy!

Coulson and Natasha walked in from outside at this moment.

They quickly said, "Officer Hill, she..."

"She belongs to Aaron now..."

"Huh?!"

Looking at the warehouse, which seemed to have been ransacked, and then at Nick Fury, who looked like a mad bull, the two immediately shut up and retreated.

They exchanged glances, both seeing the same thought in the other's eyes.

Aaron is not to be provoked!

Meanwhile, Aaron sat in the back seat.

Hill quickly got into character.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"Osborn."

Aaron thought for a moment and decided to get down to business.

At least he needed Hill to start working immediately.

The Corporation was still very busy recently; Felicia was not around, and Norman couldn't make decisions. Without a helmsman, it was difficult to operate normally.

Hill's driving skills were quite good. It was clear that despite her high position, she practiced frequently.

Throughout the journey, Aaron felt the car was both fast and stable.

Excellent!

Then Aaron opened the briefcase, revealing the object inside: the Obelisk!

Chapter 89: Five Solar Cores! My Fire is Burning Hot!

Aaron didn't worry about Hill's presence.

His right hand reached for the Obelisk.

"Wait, that thing is very dangerous!"

Hill slammed on the brakes, stopping in the middle of the road.

"According to reliable intelligence, at least a hundred people have been petrified to death by touching this thing."

"Currently, we haven't researched its..."

Aaron ignored what Hill said.

Although he hadn't fused Skye's Inhumans genes, it didn't mean he would fear the power of petrification.

He was an Ultimate Life Form!

He was Innate immune to over ninety-nine percent of negative effects in the Universe.

Moreover, after fusing powerful characteristics like the God's body, Asgardian Race's body, and Survival of the Fittest, his body possessed powerful magic resistance.

Would he still fear mere petrification?

Even if this thing was technology-based, could it surpass the primal furnace?

Under Hill's worried gaze, his right hand approached the Obelisk and swallowed and fused it without any hindrance.

Petrification: You can petrify life forms that do not possess Inhumans or Kree genes. The petrification effect is influenced by the target's strength.

Gene Evolution: You can activate Inhumans genes within the Human Race body, allowing them to complete their evolution.

How to put it, compared to zero matter, the Obelisk's characteristics could be said to be useless.

Aaron guessed that this level of petrification ability would only work on beings below the God.

But it wasn't a big problem.

His body was constantly strengthening.

Especially with the enhanced energy absorption, he absorbed surrounding energy like a whale swallowing water.

The temperature around Aaron was several degrees lower than other places.

When his body absorbed enough energy and reached a critical value, he would achieve glorious evolution.

At that time, the characteristics he possessed would also improve with him!

This was the power of infinite evolution.

The strength of the characteristics didn't matter.

All characteristics would continuously strengthen with his evolution!

Until he was omniscient, omnipotent, and capable of anything!

Hill looked at Aaron as if he were a monster.

Then she silently focused on driving.

Seeing that Hill didn't ask, Aaron wouldn't deliberately explain anything.

He picked up the other boxes placed next to him.

Opening them one by one.

Aaron continuously absorbed and fused.

Then Aaron also mastered a special energy.

That is, the isotopic energy of the Space Stone.

After this elemental characteristic was integrated into the eternal phoenix core, the little sun became even brighter.

The power it emitted was also more terrifying.

Feeling the even more active cells, Aaron's mouth curved slightly.

This feeling of getting stronger every single minute and second was truly exhilarating!

He didn't even need to deliberately exercise or absorb.

Even when he was sleeping at night, he was getting stronger!

Upon careful perception, Aaron found that his cells had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to a week ago.

Each one was incredibly full, and each one exuded endless vitality!

The energy inside seemed to be overflowing.

How to put it.

He felt that the energy contained in each of his cells now could rival or even surpass Tony's first-generation arc reactor.

The gap to the second-generation arc reactor was also not far.

And his own physical strength, he feared, had reached a point that existing technology could hardly detect.

Perhaps the heaviest aircraft carrier in the World would be like a toy in his hands.

Aaron thought for a moment and tried to use the primal furnace to create a second eternal phoenix core and place it within a second cell.

His whole body suddenly heated up by several degrees.

But very quickly, the energy emitted by the little sun was swallowed and absorbed by countless cells.

His body returned to normal again.

Hill just glanced in the rearview mirror, saw Aaron closing his eyes in thought, and then turned back to continue driving.

However, very quickly, the temperature inside the car rose by several more degrees!

Hill felt very puzzled, and opened the car window.

It cooled down a bit then.

But when she looked in the left rearview mirror, her peripheral vision caught Aaron seemingly glowing all over.

She blinked.

Aaron returned to his original state.

This made Hill feel very strange.

Something was wrong! Out of an Agent's vigilance, Hillalways felt that Aaron was undergoing some unknown change.

But if Aaron didn't say, a subordinate should never ask.

This was her experience working at S.H.I.E.L.D..

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Hill always felt that Aaron's aura was more profound.

At that moment, she felt like the Sun in the sky, inspiring a sense of awe from the bottom of one's heart.

"The fifth one..."

"Let's put it on the forehead!"

Aaron placed four additional eternal phoenix cores in one go.

They were located in the middle of his left and right hands, the middle of his left and right feet, and on his forehead.

The brain consumes the most energy in a person, and Aaron was no exception.

While his body was continuously strengthening, his brain needed to devour more energy every moment to evolve to a more perfect Realm.

This required a massive amount of energy.

After all, he now possessed too many abilities, and once he evolved, it would be an all-encompassing evolution.

But after placing a total of five eternal phoenix cores, Aaron found that at the current cellular level, it was difficult to digest any more excess energy.

If he placed another one, his body could withstand it, but the excess energy radiating through his body would cause unpredictable damage to the outside World.

For example, it could instantly turn New York into nothing!

The temperature in the area centered around him might rise by hundreds of degrees or more!

"I still need to wait, wait for the cells to further strengthen, or for energy absorption to further increase, then I can place more little suns..."

Aaron thought to himself, to prevent excess energy from radiating outwards, he deliberately closed his pores, and with the help of other abilities, controlled the power of the little sun within his body.

Otherwise, the first to suffer would be Hill.

"I'm really full!"

"But this feeling... is great!"

Getting stronger every moment, his evolution speed was more than ten times faster than before!

One day was probably worth more than a hundred days for Henry!

No less!

Soon,

The rolls-royce returned to the Osborn Group.

Aaron entered with Hill, using facial recognition.

Everyone knew that Aaron had a new female secretary.

Employees passing by greeted Aaron, their eyes filled with curiosity and envy as they looked at Hill.

Especially the female employees at the front desk, who wished they could take her place.

After the two walked around, almost everyone remembered Hill's face.

Next time she came to the company, no one would be so blind as to stop Hill.

"I've already had Norman handle your onboarding documents and information."

"Now I'll take you to your office. The company is developing very quickly recently, and there's no time to train new people, so you'll need to start adapting to the work today. Any problems?"

"No problem!"

Hill's face was full of confidence.

The data she was responsible for at S.H.I.E.L.D. came from all over the World.

To better handle various data, she even had a dedicated, extra-large office.

What kind of storms hadn't she seen?

It was just the Osborn Group, could it possibly be harder to manage than S.H.I.E.L.D.?

"Very good, I like your serious attitude towards work!"

Aaron led her to a room.

Seeing the door open automatically,

Hill specifically looked at it.

But she didn't see any smart facial recognition device.

Not a smart door?

Her expression was strange.

However, once she entered the office, Hill had no time to think about anything else.

She looked at the files piled up like several high mountains on the luxurious desk.

Hill looked around.

Pointing to a desk with a slightly shorter pile of files next to it, she asked, "Is that my office?"

"No, this is!"

Aaron pointed to the several "mountains" of files.

Hill was stunned.

"What about you?"

"Mine is here."

Aaron then pointed to another empty desk.

"!!!"

Either I have a problem, or you have a problem!

Hill's mouth dropped open, "Am I really a secretary?"

"Administrative secretary, any problem?"

Aaron pressed a bell, "Call Norman here."

Then he lazily sat in the boss's chair, crossing his legs.

"You can start working. There will be new files to process tomorrow."

Hill was dumbfounded, swallowing with difficulty.

"These... are just for one day?"

Aaron shook his head.

Just as Hill's hope rose, Aaron added, "Let me see, this is yesterday's amount, and half of today's amount."

A day and a half?

And there's more later?!

Do some actual work, my dear boss!

Even S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't have this much work for me to handle!

Hill felt her future was bleak.

Aaron also knew this task was arduous.

"Don't worry too much, it's okay to slow down a bit."

"Prioritize this small mountain, the others can wait and be done slowly."

You know it's a small mountain!

Hill was speechless.

Aaron continued, "Follow me, I can't guarantee anything else, but safety and benefits are absolutely top-notch."

"Trust me, once you get familiar with this job, you will gain unimaginable benefits."

Hill rolled her eyes at this.

Another pie in the sky, she was tired of it.

"Ahem, in two days I'll find another secretary to help you."

Hill immediately felt hope after hearing this.

But looking at the enormous workload, even if it was halved, it would still be measured in mountains... Unscrupulous capitalists should all be hung from lampposts!

Hill gritted her teeth, preparing to adapt for two days first.

If she really couldn't handle it, she would quit.

Seeing Hill get into work mode, Aaron was quite satisfied.

Look, this is talent!

Without him needing to instruct, she could quickly adapt to the work environment and process various documents efficiently from the start.

Amidst the busyness,

Norman quickly came up.

"Boss."

After Norman entered and greeted him, he quickly glanced at Hill.

After memorizing the new secretary's appearance, he then handed a document to Aaron.

"Young Miss Hill's onboarding documents have been processed."

He took out another document, "This is the first batch of demand for the newborn product. Currently, dignitaries from various countries in the World are waiting for the first batch of newborn to be released."

"There's also a line of late-stage cancer patients hoping we can sell a batch of anti-cancer potions as soon as possible..."

"Boss, I suggest the company hold a recruitment fair soon. Our customer service department has been working 24 hours a day and night..."

Aaron looked at the dense data.

He only saw pages full of zeros.

The popularity of the newborn potion was simply unimaginable.

The super healing potion, pain relief potion, and limb regeneration potion were fine,

As for the demand orders for anti-aging potion and anti-cancer potion, the marketing department estimated tens of millions of doses!

This was just the first batch.

Demand would only get higher later.

Countless billionaires were waving cash, begging to buy them.

Currently, newborn had not yet entered the market,

But on the black market, the price of an anti-aging potionhad already reached one billion us dollar per dose.

The anti-cancer potion was not much different.

Mainly because some wealthy individuals were at the last moment of their lives, about to pass away.

The anti-cancer potion and anti-aging potion were their last hope.

Among them was an 89-year-old gambling king.

There were many similar wealthy individuals around the World.

Some even approached Tony Stark, hoping to buy a dose from him first.

But Tony directly kicked them out.

Although Tony had now lost his richest man title, for other Corporations, Stark Industries was still a behemoth.

Osborn, with Aaron at its helm, stood like Mount Everest, towering over all, unshakeable.

Even if these wealthy individuals had considerable influence,

But facing the Osborn Group, they could only wait patiently at the door like ordinary people.

Aaron recalled the situation when the door opened just now.

No wonder there were suddenly many luxury cars around.

If Osborn hadn't strengthened security, people would probably be camping outside the company overnight, waiting for the first batch of newborn to come out.

"You handle these minor matters."

Aaron glanced at them and stopped worrying.

Hill, to the side, looked up at the two of them, then lowered her head to process files.

She had figured it out, Aaron just didn't do any real work!

Could her previous secretary have died suddenly at her desk?

Thinking of this, Hill felt a chill down her spine.

"Boss, the students and teachers from Empire State University will be visiting the Osborn Group. Is there anything we need to pay attention to?"

Originally, Norman didn't care about such trivial matters.

But upon hearing that Aaron himself had approved this, he immediately took it to heart and supervised the entire process, striving for no mistakes.

He even turned down several invitations from dignitaries for this.

Norman's future life would only be responsible to Aaron!

Aaron's business was his business, everything else had to step aside.

Even the newborn project was not as important as a single word from Aaron.

Aaron nodded at the words, "As long as you don't let them enter the most important departments, there will be no problem."

Norman nodded, understanding.

His regard for this matter increased by several points.

"Oh, and I heard there's a very talented person among the students visiting from Empire State University. Pay close attention to him."

"I'm still short a few secretaries here..."

Norman suddenly understood.

"Boss, I understand. I'll go screen them immediately!"

Hill pursed her lips, then buried herself in work.

Aaron nodded in satisfaction; dealing with smart people was always easy.

"There's one more thing."

"Find me a man named Ian Quinn; he should have established a Quinn Corporation."

"I need to know his information."

Although Aaron could find him himself, there was no reason not to use his subordinates.

If he did everything himself, what would he need subordinates for?

Norman kept this matter in mind.

Just hearing the name, he knew it was a man, and without thinking, he knew he was a nobody.

First, find the female secretary, then find Ian Quinn, and finally deal with the newborn problem.

Silently arranging the order in his mind, Norman slowly retreated.

Aaron then also left the office and went to the storage room.

After melting down various plants and animals collected by the Osborn Group and enriching the primal furnacedatabase, he turned to the biology department.

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't had a full physical examination in a long time.

It just so happened that a dedicated private health Doctorhad recently joined.

Aaron thought he would go to Wu Jiaqi first, for a thorough examination from the inside out.

It would be best to have repeated in-depth examinations to ensure no omissions.

Aaron also had something to take care of.

He was feeling a bit too much Fire today and needed a way to physically cool down.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

S.H.I.E.L.D. New York Headquarters.

"Shadow, are you sure you were the only one who survived in your room at that time?"

Looking at the woman in the White uniform in front of him, Nick Fury frowned deeply.

Ava said uncertainly, "I asked Mr. Bill, and besides me, there shouldn't have been a fourth person at the scene."

Nick Fury felt uneasy after hearing this.

He motioned for Shadow to come forward.

"Look at this person, are his abilities the same as yours?"

Nick Fury pointed at Aaron in the video.

Ava's eyes widened as she watched Aaron suddenly dematerialize and smoothly enter the sealed container.

She looked closely again and again.

"His ability... is the same as mine!"

"This is quantum phasing ability!"

"Who is he?"

Ava looked at Nick Fury excitedly.

She didn't care about zero matter; she only cared that Aaron could perfectly control quantum phasing ability without any equipment and with no side effects!

"He is Aaron!"

Nick Fury said casually, then fell into thought, completely oblivious to the light in Ava's eyes...
