Sentinel

Chapter 57 Harvest
The bright sunlight shines on the Baxter Building, and the mottled golden light is inlaid on the steel body of the skyscraper, reflecting the shining light.

Sean stood quietly on the roof, the warm sunlight made him feel comfortable, as if his whole body was soaked in hot springs, and the nerves that had been tense due to continuous fighting slowly relaxed.

"... At about ten o'clock last night, a mysterious vibration and sinking occurred on 59th Street in the Clint District, which is close to Manhattan. After confirmation from the mayor's office, it was all because of the Midtown Financial Company located in West Midtown. It did not meet the planning permission standards for construction works, and the demolition was detonated last night..."

Sean listened to the report on the TV news, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, everything has come to a successful conclusion, Erica became the sole leader of the Hand, and won the full support of Mrs. Gao, while Wesley Using the power of the Hand to completely control the business and territory of Hell's Kitchen, all those disobedient gang leaders were sunk into the Hudson River.

Mrs. Gao, who survived only by humiliation, handed over the property under her name to Erica quite simply, without any sloppiness. This elderly woman does have extraordinary wisdom in life.

Of course, compared to these capital industries and the development and growth of his own power, Sean's biggest harvest comes from the remains of the keel buried in the ground, the legendary "sacred object" that can make people live forever and resurrect from the dead. In fact, it is just a fossilized skeleton of an alien species, which contains a huge amount of life energy, which is enough to bring people back to life and prolong life.

Xiao En is not like those leaders of the Hand, who yearn for a long life, or even have the vain idea of ​​immortality. In his opinion, relying solely on keel remains to continue life is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and it is meaningless.

What he pursues is to strengthen himself and sublimate his essence, rather than surviving like a walking dead.

Sean recalled that last night in the underground space of the financial company in Midtown Circle, he deliberately angered the reckless Danny Rand with words, causing the Kunlun Iron Fist to mobilize the "Qi" in his body and swing a powerful fist. Hitting on the stone door engraved with the ancient seal, as two familiar energies collided with each other, the mechanism set by Kunlun was activated, and the door was successfully opened!
Danny Rand, who had lost his use value, was knocked unconscious by Sean. He stepped into the space behind the stone door. In the thick darkness, a huge biological skeleton appeared in front of him, as if it had survived thousands of years. Dinosaurs ten thousand years ago, even though they had died long ago, the huge remains condensed into a fossil-like existence over the long years.

Standing in front of this gigantic skeleton, Sean can still feel the barbaric atmosphere hundreds of millions of years ago. Maybe they visited the earth before the endless years, just because the vicissitudes of time have changed over time, covering up traces of the existence of these extraterrestrial species.

In a period when technology was far from prosperous and developed, Kunlun called them "shenlongs", and the remains were regarded as "keel bones".

Xiao En stretched out his hand and touched the white bones of the keel remains. Suddenly, a huge surge of vitality surged into his body like a tsunami, and his tall and straight body trembled, as if every cell exploded instantly. Relive the excruciating pain of drinking the golden potion again!
An unimaginable torrent of energy surged through the flesh and blood of human beings. Xiao En bent down in pain, a faint golden light radiated from his eyes, and the mighty life energy swayed in his body, every inch of flesh and blood seemed to be Roasted by the flames, the extreme pain squeezed every potential of this body.

Huge life energy, like a flood breaking a dike, continuously raged and swept through Xiao En's body. He felt that everything in his body was crazily disintegrated, then reassembled, and kept going round and round, like forging a rough embryo. , until this flesh and blood body can adapt to that powerful and pure energy.

Consciousness sinks into the silent darkness, and the cold feeling of being on the verge of death strikes. The memory fragments of the past and the present are intertwined with each other, just like a fleeting moment. In the end, the two completely different lives slowly overlap and merge into one.

Xiao En suddenly opened his eyes, pale golden light flickered, surging and strong vitality surged, making a huge sound of rolling waves, and his heart beat like a thunderous drum.

His body has undergone a huge transformation, whether it is physical fitness, reaction ability, or muscle density, everything has been significantly improved.

"This is my greatest achievement." Sean looked at the densely populated Manhattan Island with a lot of traffic, feeling satisfied.

On the system interface in his mind, the progress bar showing the energy has advanced to 20.00%. Five, the keel remains that the Hand had dreamed of directly made Xiao En take a huge step, and the energy absorption showed a leap-forward growth.

Spreading his palms, the faint golden light slowly condensed, and Xiao En smiled slightly. The huge energy not only caused earth-shaking changes in this body, but also gave him another ability.

Energy field!

Sean closed his eyes, and his mental power radiated outward. In the dark space of consciousness, various lights interweaved to form a huge and boundless spectrum.

Towering steel buildings, long queues of crowded traffic, pedestrians coming and going... everything has lost its original appearance, and the countless energy spots in the void are like stars twinkling, sometimes surging like waves, sometimes annihilated and born , going round and round, he observes the world from a microscopic perspective.

Taking a deep breath, the outstretched palm rotates like a vortex, attracting the energy tide in the void, and a flickering and swift light shoots out. The golden light is not conspicuous in clear weather, and quickly dissipates in the air.

"This can be regarded as the completion of the job transfer from warrior to mage." Sean opened his eyes and said with satisfaction.

Even though the energy control is still superficial, no matter what, he is getting closer and closer to that incomparably powerful sentinel.

In the distant future, he may have to face SHIELD, the Avengers, and even the notorious overlord of the universe...

Therefore, the road of pursuing power should be endless. When the world is in crisis, when one's own safety is threatened, it is too sad to just expect superheroes to save oneself.

Superheroes are not omnipotent, they will also have moments of powerlessness, pinning their lives and hopes on others, which is not in line with Sean's character.

For an insecure person, only his own strength can maintain inner peace.This is a real and dangerous world. In movies or comics, every time a superhero saves the world and defeats a villain, under these seemingly happy endings, how many innocent people die in despair and obscurity, even if they are as powerful as Superman from another world cannot always play the role of savior.

Xiao En looked up at the sky and said softly, "This world needs a sun."
