Upon hearing Skye's "kind-hearted" explanation, the Sand King finally understood.
I've been betrayed!
His whereabouts are known only to the Ten Rings. The Mandarin would never reveal his information, because that is what the Mandarin hates and detests most!
The matter of Shang-Chi remained stuck in my throat like a thorn in my side.
A Mandarin will never become the kind of person he hates most!
He's a supervillain, but also a supervillain with his own principles!
The Mandarin wouldn't reveal his whereabouts, but others might.
Take, for example, the second-in-command of the Ten Commandments. That guy always wanted to eliminate the Sand King so that he could secure his position as the second-in-command of the Ten Commandments.
If he secretly leaked the Sand King's whereabouts, then it makes perfect sense.
After hearing Skye's explanation, the Sand King finally understood.
"If the Mandarin finds out that he was the one who leaked the information, he'll be in big trouble!"
The Sand King said with certainty:
"If I relay this message back, your deal will be considered a failure due to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s lack of sincerity."
Skye remained unmoved:
"That's true, but all of this is predicated on your ability to escape—with me here, that's impossible!"
Skye is very confident about this.
The taxi driver from before also perked up and pulled out a dagger.
The fact that this veteran driver abandoned ranged weapons in favor of melee weapons is enough to prove that he is not weak in actual combat.
Around the secluded park, some figures could be faintly seen, gradually approaching the area.
The encirclement was formed in an instant!
The Sand King watched coldly as the sandstorm swept up and enveloped him, transforming him into a sand giant several meters tall.
"You underestimate me too much! Skye, you're being far too arrogant! I've fought my way through dozens of countries and regions in the Central Region. My reputation is earned, not just boasted!"
The Sandstorm Giants roared out and charged toward Skye!
It's not a matter of "capture the king first" but rather that Skye possessed the ability that posed the greatest threat to him, which is why the Sand King made Skye his primary target!
But Skye remained calm; in fact, a slight smirk played on her lips.
"Fool! Since we've come to you, how could S.H.I.E.L.D. not have a foolproof plan? Your reputation is great, but it's only because you've made it in some small places."
"When you face true elites, you will realize your own weakness!"
Skye was completely unafraid in the face of the Sand King's attack!
A fist the size of a millstone attacked her, but she opened her mouth wide and a silent shockwave surged forth, instantly shattering the millstone-sized fist!
Only those with real ability can be so arrogant!
Tony Stark has this kind of personality, and Skye is just as powerful.
The sandstorm's giant fist crumbled at the first touch, and the Sand King's mind sank to the bottom, yet he still possessed the will to fight.
Skye's abilities are indeed his natural counter.
However, he was not without any means to fight back.
The previous contact had already given the Sand King an idea.
He gritted his teeth, roared, and the sandstorm giant collapsed with a crash, then turned into countless grains of sand that settled on the ground, forming a sea of sand.
It transforms itself into sand and unites with this land, which is equivalent to its own body being mixed into a mixer and vigorously stirred!
The pain is indescribable, but the power it unleashes is also terrifying!
Then the sand sea trembled, like ocean waves, threatening to swallow everyone on the ground!
The remote park was the first to suffer the disaster; the trees and shrubs planted there were no match for the sand and were swept away by the sandstorm, creating a larger area.
Then the wind in the desert changed direction, carrying tens of thousands of acres of soil and rolling it around, eating the soil as it prepared to devour all the enemies!
Skye sneered at this, having already anticipated it, and was not surprised.
She swiftly countered, each burst of power repelling the Sand King's attacks and instantly shattering a large area of soil and sand!
Judging purely by destructive power, the Sand King could take on five Skye at once.
However, an ability counter is still a counter. Skye could easily use her ability's characteristics to shatter the Sand King's terrifying attack, which gave the Sand King a huge headache!
The battle between the two was temporarily at a stalemate, but the others were not idle.
The taxi driver waved his hand, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were watching from the outside quickly approached and threw out packets of liquid substance—it turned out to be special glue!
S.H.I.E.L.D. already had a foolproof plan to deal with Sand King!
It makes sense, considering that S.H.I.E.L.D. already knew of the Sand King's existence long before his disguise was revealed, so taking targeted measures was a piece of cake.
The prestige and power of S.H.I.E.L.D. are built upon these numerous victories!
...
Irrigated with glue, the Sand King quickly became unable to move an inch. This specially made glue even caused the Sand King to lose his ability to transform, and the enormous sea of sand collapsed into a helpless mass.
Mutants have been taught how to control themselves, yet they are so weak, pitiful, and helpless!
Seeing that the situation was under control, Skye took out her communicator and reported to Nick Fury:
"We have successfully restrained the Sand King. Once he is exhausted and completely unable to resist, we will take measures to imprison him."
"Very good, Skyker, you did an excellent job!"
Nick Fury made no attempt to hide his praise.
Skye simply stated two sentences:
"Commander Nick was right. These past two days, because of Tony Stark, the whole city has been in an uproar and quite unsettled."
"It was under these circumstances that opportunists like Sand King tried to sneak in during the chaos. He thought our attention was all on Tony Stark, which is a gross underestimation of S.H.I.E.L.D."
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence system is exceptionally powerful, even more so than the latter's direct combat capabilities!
With sufficient preparation, even Magneto would have to be brought to his knees!
Old Wan is a man of the world, and his magnetic control ability is far superior to that of Sand King, and his potential has been developed to the limit.
However, even when faced with a non-magnetic, non-iron environment that could restrain him, Lao Wan still collapsed.
Mutants' abilities are ever-changing, but you can always find their weaknesses and then target them!
