Inside a research facility under S.H.I.E.L.D., Ye Xiangyang was engrossed in his research.
"Still not working..."
Looking at the test tube of reagents in his hand, Ye Xiangyang sighed.
Twenty years have passed since he was killed by a life-size figurine of the Emperor Armor, and he still hasn't been able to activate his Five Elements Bloodline successfully.
Perhaps because of his time travel, Ye Xiangyang's mind was remarkably sharp.
He can master things that ordinary people can't learn in a lifetime with just a few glances.
With his exceptionally high intelligence, Ye Xiangyang quickly distinguished himself among the masses.
At the age of 18, he graduated from MIT with honors and earned a doctorate.
It's still a four-degree program: Physics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Biological Sciences.
Furthermore, his physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, almost reaching the basic standards of Asgard.
Five times the limits of human physical capabilities!
Ye Xiangyang guessed that the changes in his body and brain were related to the Emperor's Armor inside his body.
For some reason, he was unable to activate the five-element bloodline within his body.
After graduation, countless research institutes extended offers to Ye Xiangyang.
But in the end, he chose the little-known Strategic Homeland Defense and Logistics Agency.
That is, S.H.I.E.L.D.
As for the reasons, there are three. The first is that one can come into contact with the extraordinary here.
Extraordinary abilities are the most suitable for Ye Xiangyang to study.
Secondly, it's because Ye Xiangyang's parents were once Chinese-American agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, he died in a mission, so Ye Xiangyang became an orphan.
And she was raised and funded by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Third, the current S.H.I.E.L.D. can help him deal with many troublesome matters.
His research, in particular, is easily targeted by some people.
"The Emperor Armor is something that people both love and hate."
Looking at the Emperor Armor inside his body, Ye Xiangyang sighed.
I initially thought this was his magic touch, but the ending was cruel.
Although he possesses the Emperor's Armor, Ye Xiangyang cannot wear it.
Because he did not activate the Five Elements Bloodline, nor did he have the Five Elements Armor.
That's why Ye Xiangyang thought of using research to activate the Five Elements Bloodline.
After all, this is the Marvel universe, where anything can be achieved through research.
Once Ye Xiangyang successfully activates the Five Elements Bloodline, he will be able to devise a way to research the Five Elements Armor.
It's even possible to go further and directly summon the Emperor Armor within one's body.
This is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao of the Bright Realm, and according to the Marvel universe, it is at least a multiverse-level power.
Even stronger!
However, several years have passed, and Ye Xiangyang has made no progress.
"Where exactly did the problem lie?"
Ye Xiangyang felt that this defeat was foreseeable.
Although he had fantasized about activating the Five Elements Bloodline, he still didn't know where the problem lay.
"Does activating the Five Elements Bloodline require finding something possessing the power of the Five Elements?"
Ye Xiangyang began to think about Marvel characters who possessed the power of the five elements.
For example, Surtur's Crown and the Frost Giant's Ice Box.
With something like this as a catalyst, perhaps the Five Elements Bloodline can be successfully activated.
"Okay, time to go home!"
After packing his things, Ye Xiangyang left the research institute.
"What's wrong? You look so dejected. Did the experiment fail?"
A man with a Mediterranean complexion walked towards us.
It was Coulson, the good guy in S.H.I.E.L.D.
He and Ye Xiangyang's parents were very good friends back then.
After Ye Xiangyang's parents passed away, Coulson took responsibility for funding Ye Xiangyang's education.
"It's not that there was absolutely no gain, but it was far from what I expected."
Ye Xiangyang sighed.
Although research on the Five Elements and Bloodline has yielded no results in recent years.
However, many derivative products have attracted countless people.
For example, products derived from the study of wood-type bloodlines are named life potions.
The life-saving potion can cure most diseases and allow people to maintain a youthful state for a long time.
While it cannot cure cancer and some specific diseases, it can delay their progression.
Products derived from the study of earth-elemental bloodlines are called power potions.
As the name suggests, strength potions can enhance a person's physical fitness.
However, this medicine has become a controlled substance.
The versions circulating now are all censored versions.
Although it's just a derivative product, it can still enhance an average person's physical fitness by nearly half.
It's like a weaker version of the Super Soldier Serum.
The censored version circulating outside can only enhance a person's physical fitness by one-fifth.
The difference between strength potions and life potions is that they cannot be used repeatedly.
Strength potions can only be used once; multiple uses will have no effect.
Life-saving drugs can be used multiple times, and with long-term use, they can maintain physical health and reduce the chance of getting sick.
If necessary, life-saving potions can serve as food and prolong life.
Therefore, life-saving drugs are now available in many special forces units and hospitals.
Another example is the Berserk Potion, a derivative of research into fire-type bloodlines.
Using the berserk potion allows a person to unleash their full potential in a short period of time.
The aftereffects are also quite obvious.
Without the healing potion, even the strongest warrior will develop a disability.
Even with the life-saving medicine, it would still take at least a month to recover fully.
Finally, there's the research on derivatives of water-based bloodlines, known as the Fountain of Souls.
The effect is quite simple and direct, capable of suppressing all addictive substances.
Drug addiction? Have a bottle of Fountain of the Soul, and it will cleanse your soul, freeing you from drug dependence forever.
Some wealthy people, because of the emergence of the Fountain of the Soul, directly regarded drugs as something similar to cigarettes.
Take a sip now and then to enjoy it. If you find yourself addicted, have a bottle of Fountain of Souls and a potion of life.
Get your body back to its peak.
Through these derivative products, Ye Xiangyang became a company, a protective umbrella.
And now it's a large conglomerate across the United States.
The four derivative products brought in substantial profits.
Because of the Power Potion and the Berserk Potion, plus Ye Xiangyang's own background.
Umbrella Corporation secured numerous orders from the military.
Even in the United States, it has a very powerful background.
If Ye Xiangyang hadn't shown his face, he probably would have replaced Tony Stark as the goddess in the hearts of countless young women in America.
"Don't be so tense, you're already quite excellent."
Coulson was unaware of the content of Ye Xiangyang's research.
Although he had watched Ye Xiangyang grow up since he was a child, he did not know that Ye Xiangyang was the mastermind behind Umbrella.
To be precise, within the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., only Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce knew that Ye Xiangyang was the mastermind behind Umbrella.
Because of the Umbrella Corporation and Ye Xiangyang's own value, his identity became one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top secrets.
"I understand. I'll head back now, Uncle Coulson,"
After saying goodbye, Ye Xiangyang left S.H.I.E.L.D.
They rushed to the Umbrella Corporation.
Although he has not been with the company for a long time, Ye Xiangyang holds the highest authority within the Umbrella Group.
