American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

【Personality Mask: Rage

Ability: Grants the wearer super strength, super stamina, super resistance, super healing. The higher and deeper the rage and hatred, the greater the boost.

Negative: Soul Corruption!

Each time you wear and use it, your soul will move closer to the abyss of hell. You will face a brand new personality, and if you fail, you will be replaced by the mask's personality.

Note: This is an extremely dangerous artifact that will ultimately corrupt you.】

The demon disappeared.

If it weren't for the heavy mask in his hand, Drax would have thought he was experiencing some kind of hallucination. The feel of the mask reminded him that everything that had just happened was real! Looking at the mask in his hand, a desire suddenly surged in Drax's heart, a desire to wear the mask on his face.

Don't you want to know how powerful it is? Don't you want to know if it can provide you with the power of revenge? Put it on and experience it.

A faint voice in his heart was moving him. Under the bewitchment of this weak voice, Drax, as if he had lost his mind, slowly brought the mask towards his face with the hand holding it. Finally, the mask touched his skin. The cold touch awakened Drax's drowsy spirit for a moment. Before he could make any subconscious reaction, the mask suddenly stuck to his face.

A powerful force surged into Drax's body from the mask. The dark red纹路 on his skin now seemed to be burning, glowing with a magma-like heat.

Unspeakable rage ignited the hatred in the deepest part of Drax's heart. This emotion, imperceptibly, had not been noticed by Drax, but it rapidly occupied his consciousness.

Slaughter.

Destruction.

Revenge.

Simple thoughts and biased emotions brought unparalleled action. Drax's huge and more oppressive body stood up from the ground, looking down from the cliff wall at a certain area below.

That was the location of several warships, and also the location of those space pirates.

Roar!

Drax let out a roar full of bestial will on the cliff wall like a lion. Carrying a fierce killing intent, he jumped high from the cliff wall and fell to the ground like a meteorite.

A massacre that no one had expected began.

The warships exploded with dazzling flames, and the interior was filled with wails and chaos.

When the Nova Corps of Xandar traced the jump points one by one and finally tracked them down to this primitive planet, what they saw was a devastated battlefield.

"It looks like there was internal strife over the spoils, and a riot occurred," a soldier who had cleaned up the battlefield made a preliminary judgment.

"What about the ship's records?" the captain of this Nova Corps squad asked. Ships generally have storage devices like black boxes.

"There are no relevant records," the soldier said. "But we found two survivors. After they wake up, we might know more."

"Inventory the lost goods, and then take them back to Xandar for trial," the captain waved his hand.

……

"Fallen souls!"

The demon who made the deal with Drax suddenly felt something from the contract he signed. He quickly took out the contract and looked at the black souls that could enter hell appearing on it. His eyes were bright. Although these dark souls would definitely be taken by the Hell dimension and his boss Mephisto first, the advantage was that it was a long-term thing. He was already eagerly anticipating that Drax would bring him more surprises and income in the future.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Triskelion.

Hill caught up with Nick Fury, who was about to board the Quinjet.

"This document needs to be processed by you, sir." Hill handed the document in her hand to Nick. The word 'Top Secret' was written on the file.

Nick took the document out of the file bag. Looking at the [Project Insight] on the cover, he had no intention of opening it to read it. He picked up the pen clipped to the file bag, signed his name on the document, and ordered, "Stop it."

"Are you sure?" Hill took the file bag back from Nick and asked to confirm. She knew how much effort and energy her superior had spent on this project.

"Cut our losses. What's the use of them now? Luke has already publicly authorized a batch of technologies, and the future is about to enter space. This kind of plan is outdated. There's no need to even modify it," Nick said helplessly. The world is unpredictable! The changes in this world are too fast. It's as if a carriage suddenly accelerated and turned into a supercar.

Nick, who was on the front line of contact with the changes, felt that a new change would happen in this world every day he opened his eyes, and he could hardly stop this change, nor could he stop it.

Luke and the others have already planned the future course, and even if he opposed it, he would only be in the minority.

Hill heard this and was speechless. Facing the changes promoted by Luke, she also felt a sense of bewilderment wrapped in the torrent of the times.

"Don't think so much, at least we are all on Luke's ship now, aren't we?" Nick waved his hand, "This time Luke invited so many people, there will definitely be a big move. I'll go over first."

……

The Quinjet stopped on the metal deck of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. When Nick came out, he had already seen members of the Avengers such as Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, as well as Norman Osborn and others who had made a lot of money on Luke's vampire longevity potion, which can be said to be a community of interests.

Stepping on his own aircraft carrier, which cost a lot of money to build, Nick couldn't help but feel another pain in his heart. This newly commissioned Helicarrier might not have time to play its role before it is eliminated. This means that the huge investment that S.H.I.E.L.D. previously invested has all gone down the drain. In the future, we can only consider whether it can be refitted, what should be dismantled, and then resold for civilian use.

"Do you know what Luke wants to do by inviting us this time?" Seeing Nick walking down from the plane, Tony, Norman and others on the deck immediately moved their feet and surrounded him. Before he even reached his side, Tony's voice reached Nick's ears. Norman on the other side also immediately looked over with inquiring eyes.

"Weren't you all informed?" Nick spread his hands, looking at the crowd that surrounded him.

"A technology sharing and trading conference?" Tony grinned, pointed to the group of businessmen behind Norman, and unceremoniously used his poisonous tongue, "But I don't think it's that simple. If it's just a technology sharing and trading conference, then what are these people who don't understand technology doing here?"

Norman's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even look at Tony. He knew Tony's personality, and he knew that once he argued with him, he wouldn't have the time and opportunity to get more news from Nick. The best way to do it was to ignore him when Tony used his poisonous tongue, ignore him, and let him say what he wanted.

"Luke said it's a big deal! A big deal that you'll regret for the rest of your life if you miss it," Norman said, giving a completely different reason from Tony.

"This proves that Luke thinks that all you have in your heads besides business is business, and only business can make you take the initiative," Tony continued with his poisonous tongue.

"I know a little, but not more than you," Nick shook his head.

"It seems that everyone is here." A brisk voice sounded on the deck. Everyone turned around and saw Luke greeting them from inside a rotating portal with a man wearing a red cloak.

"Our time is a bit tight. I hope you have taken care of your recent affairs and informed them of their whereabouts. If there are no other problems to solve, then come in," Luke waved.

Nick, Tony and others, who had seen this kind of teleportation method many times, immediately walked quickly to Luke's position and stepped into the portal before Norman and the others. After everyone entered the portal, Stephen Strange canceled the spell with a stinky face.

"What is this? Your new technology? Space teleportation?" Norman Osborn couldn't wait to ask as soon as he came in, "Is this the big deal you told me about?"

"This is not a technology, but magic. The master who casts it is the magician Stephen Strange next to me. Maybe some of you have heard of him. Yes, he is the skilled surgeon you have heard of," Luke said with a relaxed expression. Nick's face turned dark in an instant. Although he had a premonition in his heart when he saw the appearance of the portal before, he still felt a little bad when he saw Luke's obvious don't-care-at-all revelation mode.

"Magic? Is there really such a thing in this world?" Norman instinctively gave a question.

"There are many incredible things. This meeting is to subvert your inherent perceptions. Of course, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement in the presence of Director Fury next to you, so don't make it difficult for him," Luke looked at Nick, who couldn't see his black face, and gave a considerate suggestion.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Nick, who was deliberately left behind, came to Luke with a complicated expression, watching a row of robots leading a large group of Norman and others towards a tall metal building, and questioned.

"What do you mean?" Luke said indifferently, "Do you mean that I shouldn't reveal secret information such as magic to them? I asked the Supreme Mage, and the Ancient One doesn't care about this. What's more, I haven't completely made it public to the world."

"You could at least tell me what you want to do," Nick took a deep breath, calmed down the mania in his heart towards Luke's playing cards out of order, and said in a low voice, gnashing his teeth.

"Isn't it obvious?" Luke looked at him in surprise, "I'm helping you."

"Us?" Nick stopped.

"Yes, you and them. You should at least live up to expectations. You can't always let me and my Heberon force you to take off in the future, right? Although I don't mind this. But I think many people, such as Tony and Osborn, must be unwilling to succumb to me," Luke said lightly.

"So?"

"So I'll give them a chance. I'm willing to open up a part of Heberon's technology for paid authorization, and I'm willing to give corresponding support in terms of resources. The premise is that they need to come up with technology that I can see," Luke took Nick's words and answered happily.

"I think you want to be the person above their heads who can control their life and death," Nick didn't think Luke would be so kind.

"I knew you would think so, so I'll hand over all these rights to you, and you'll be the arbitrator and their father, how about that?" Luke had a smile on his face.

"Would you be so kind?" Nick glanced at Luke strangely.

"Isn't it because you and your S.H.I.E.L.D. have too little presence? I have already gained a firm foothold in the new team, but you and your S.H.I.E.L.D. have not kept up. In this case, even if I and the Ancient One are willing to speak for you, it is conceivable that you and your S.H.I.E.L.D. will be gradually kicked out in the future."

"So this is a new weight you give me? A last chance?" Nick instantly understood what Luke meant.

"Yes, I hope you can increase some presence in the team. We can help each other at some necessary moments," Luke explained to Nick very sincerely.

"What do you want me and S.H.I.E.L.D. to do?" Although Nick felt that there was no problem with what Luke said, he still didn't dare to take it lightly. He needed to determine what Luke wanted him and S.H.I.E.L.D. to do and what role to play in his plan!

"Just like what you think, provide them with resources as much as possible, so that they can produce technology according to customer needs, and then sell products based on this. As long as you can do this, the status of you and S.H.I.E.L.D. will no longer be dispensable in the team," Luke assured Nick.

"Technology, resources?" Nick sensitively grasped the key points.

"Yes, you can add a department to S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with dimensional commercial transactions. Heberon authorizes technology to this department, and they can use these technologies at will in the early stage. As for resources? God King Odin has already conducted the first resource transaction. As a partner, you also have the right to use a part of it. In addition, the lord of the hell dimension, Mephisto, and those demons have also provided a batch of unique materials from the hell dimension, but they need certain technical processing to be used. I will also help you solve these. What you need is to spend money to buy technology and buy resources, and then kick Norman Osborn and others to urge them to improve technology."

Luke said, paused, and then said: "Of course, you said the allocation of resources, and you can also invest in other people. But no matter what, I think Norman and the others will go all out to join your not-yet-established dimensional commercial exchange after this trip and experience. Because only by joining can there be a future. I believe that you have enough skills and talents in this department to help you build the rules and handle all the troubles. Isn't it?"

"Do you know what opportunity you gave up? S.H.I.E.L.D. will become a real behemoth because of this," Nick looked at Luke and said softly.

"Just a behemoth on a planet," Luke didn't care. He controls their lifeline, does it make a difference whether he is their real master?

"New currency settlement?"

"New currency settlement!"

"I may not have enough money on hand."

I've already prepared a loan for you, a one-stop service. You can also go and get a loan from the Ancient One. Friendly reminder, that sorcerer Strange has the authority to grant loans, you can feel free to fool him. Even if you're willing, you can also seek loans from Odin or Mephisto, but the former probably won't even see you, and the cost of dealing with the latter might be too high for you to pay.” Luke stated truthfully.
