American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Three hours after Pierce and Nick left with ten pounds, about 4.5 kilograms, of crystal samples, Luke received an urgent message from Nick, sounding like his life was on the line.

"Help!"

...

Time rewind.

Onboard the Quinjet, Pierce and Nick exchanged ideas on how to verify the crystals.

Nick planned to take them back to SHIELD for verification. Before Attilan, SHIELD had also dealt with a branch of Inhumans in Midgard, although most of them had a poor impression of the authorities, even harboring deep fear and hatred. Nick thought they could use that branch of Inhumans for verification.

He only needed to inform them about Attilan and Black Bolt, and demonstrate and verify the power of the crystals.

Pierce, however, held a different opinion. He agreed with Nick's cautious plan to test the technology on weaker subjects first, which was fine. He would have been happy to do so in the past. But now? Not to mention that Whitehall, who knew the Inhumans best, was under unknown parasitism and control, potentially causing him huge trouble at any time. Just the time it would take to find that Inhuman group called "Afterlife" was something Pierce didn't want to see.

He wanted to solve this problem as quickly as possible, while things were still under control!

Why did he, against his usual behavior, bring Nick to Luke for technical assistance? It was because Luke's technology was indeed powerful and reliable, and he could always quickly and accurately manufacture and provide powerful equipment according to SHIELD's needs.

Now that they had the reversal crystals, Pierce didn't want to waste any more time. He was single-mindedly focused on verifying the effect of the reversal crystals as soon as possible. If the effect was as Luke said, he would not hesitate to have someone take the crystals to kill the robed woman and Whitehall's modified and cultivated Inhuman army.

"No need for so much trouble, don't we have a relocated Inhuman tribe around us?" Pierce turned his attention to Black Bolt and his people.

"You mean Black Bolt and his people from Attilan?" Nick understood Pierce's words. It wasn't that he had any moral or ethical obstacles. To put it bluntly, even with people from the same planet, he could be ruthless when he needed to make a choice. Let alone Black Bolt and his people, who were outsiders.

Although Nick had helped them find a place to settle, it didn't mean that Nick had accepted them in his heart and regarded them as his own. He was just doing it for the sake of surveillance and other factors.

He believed that even Captain America wouldn't turn a blind eye if Black Bolt's group showed any bad behavior. Not to mention his own bottom line, his current source of power and position dictated that most of the time, he would side with his own interests.

"Yes. Let's pay them a visit, and bring some supplies along the way," Pierce knew what kind of person Nick was, so he believed that he would agree to his proposal.

So, after some arrangement, they informed Black Bolt and then, with ulterior motives, took supplies and the reversal crystals to Black Bolt's temporary residence.

Meanwhile, Hive, with the help of the Malick family, had arrived at the camp ahead of Pierce and Nick, under the guise of an official department.

So, when the two groups gathered, they stared at each other for a moment, and it was unclear who made the first move. The Inhumans brought by Hive, as well as the death row inmates and warriors cultivated by the Malick family, started fighting with the SHIELD agents.

Throughout the whole process, Black Bolt and his spokesperson, Queen Medusa, were dazed and confused. They simply couldn't understand why these two people, who both came from the authorities, suddenly pulled out their weapons and started fighting.

Black Bolt and Medusa exchanged a glance, their eyes full of difficulty. They just wanted to accumulate strength and survive in peace, and then take back Attilan. But they didn't want to be inexplicably forced to participate in the battles of the Midgardians.

Faced with both sides calling for him to join and accusing the other of being fake, Black Bolt rolled his eyes in his heart. On the point of identity, Nick Fury, whom he had met once, was somewhat trustworthy. If he had to choose one of the two sides, it would definitely be Nick. After all, they had close cooperation with SHIELD, and he had agreed with Medusa to join a superhero organization and contribute to the safety and stability of Midgard.

"Activate the crystal activation device!" Pierce, wearing an energy suit, roared in a fire sea summoned by an Inhuman. He was now truly grateful for the mind rings that Luke had manufactured. Although they were mass-produced versions, they were extremely useful for saving lives! At least they had helped him avoid death twice already.

The opposing Inhuman's ability range was too wide, and without preparation, the manpower they brought had already suffered casualties!

Admittedly, SHIELD had powerful equipment such as the Hephaestus-produced mind rings and the Beast series, and even special werewolf and vampire transformation potions, but it was impossible to fully equip every field agent of SHIELD with these equipment. If that were the case, Nick and the SHIELD he controlled would not only be heavily in debt, but could also directly consider bankruptcy liquidation.

Therefore, among the people they brought, there were indeed some elite agents equipped with Hephaestus products, but there were also quite a few ordinary agents who were still using the original SHIELD equipment.

Nick and Pierce, both protected by energy suits, rushed out of the fire sea, each carrying a metal box. They quickly entered the passwords and fingerprints they remembered in order, opened the metal safes in their hands, revealing the perfectly cut reversal crystal bodies and two scepter-like metal staffs.

"Quick!" Pierce took out the staff from the metal box, pulled open the lock, and reached out to Nick. Nick picked up a piece of reversal crystal, and the energy suit, like rubber, stretched out a long energy arm, transferring the crystal held in the palm of his hand to Pierce.

Pierce desperately recalled the instructions for using the staff that Luke had given them at the time. According to his memory, he pressed the crystal onto the lock and pressed the mechanism to secure it firmly. Then he pressed the activation device on the staff, silently counted a few numbers in his mind, and threw it forcefully towards the direction of the Inhumans.

Bang!

Azure shockwaves surged around the temporary camp like a hurricane. The scorching fire sea was directly blown away by the shockwaves. Along with it disappeared the bizarre abilities of many Inhumans, which seemed to have failed in an instant. Many Inhumans were still maintaining the action of outputting their abilities. While realizing that their abilities had failed, some even stood blankly in place and repeated the action several times.

"Counterattack!"

Pierce was overjoyed to see this scene! As long as the Inhumans over there lost their abilities, the pressure on their side would be greatly reduced, and there would even be no threat.

After all, the reversal crystal was only targeting the Inhuman gene of the Inhumans. It had no effect on Hephaestus equipment such as mind rings, belonging to blacklists and whitelists.

At the same time, he finally understood why Nick, while complaining that Luke's technical support was simply black-hearted and that Hephaestus's equipment was too expensive, still rushed to place orders with him every time.

The technology and equipment were expensive, but their effect was indeed powerful! It was something that could solve problems with one shot!

The Attilan Inhumans, including Black Bolt, who were affected, also discovered their own abnormalities. For example, Gorgon, Black Bolt's bodyguard, whose feet had turned into hooves similar to cow hooves, and who could create powerful shockwaves by stepping on the ground, found that the form he had transformed into since awakening had reverted to the human form before awakening. His hooves had reverted to human feet. At this moment, he was barefoot, stomping hard on the ground a few times, his face full of shock and confusion.

"What happened?" Medusa found that she could no longer control some of the hair that she had just grown out. Lockjaw, Crystal's dog, shook its huge head, indicating that it had also lost its ability to teleport.

Everyone turned their attention to Black Bolt, their eyes each carrying some kind of speculation.

"I don't know," Black Bolt opened his mouth slightly under everyone's gaze.

There was no energy impact, nor any damage caused by powerful sound waves. Everything was calm. It was as if his terrifyingly destructive ability had never existed.

"Your ability has also failed?" Medusa looked at her husband Black Bolt in astonishment. Black Bolt had always been the most powerful ultimate weapon on their side. As long as his ability was still there, no one could ever ignore Black Bolt's trump card. Therefore, no matter how bad the situation was, as long as Black Bolt was still there, they would always have the confidence that they were the ultimate winners!

But today, this confidence had a gap.

Black Bolt's ability was still powerful, and they still believed in him as before, believing in his destructive power and lethality. But this ability and trust were no longer as invincible and firm as before.

Swarms of Inhuman troops fell, including the manpower brought by the Malick family, who had no resistance under the hands of the elite agents wearing energy suits and cheating.

Seeing the strange Inhumans fall one by one, a hint of compassion flashed in the eyes of Black Bolt and the others. They did not expect that there would be an Inhuman group with such a high degree of awakening on this planet.

Medusa gently held her husband's hand and shook her head at him, signaling him not to interfere and participate. Medusa didn't have so much compassion to share with these strange Inhumans. They were still in a state of living under someone else's roof and needed the help provided by Nick on the other side.

A person hidden under a black cloak finally couldn't help but sigh faintly, lifted his cloak, revealing an octopus-like monster face.

Nick and Pierce, who were not far away, saw this abnormal black-robed man, and their sixth sense of crisis almost instantly warned them frantically!

It was like a herbivore facing a top predator.

Damn it!

Nick and Pierce couldn't help but curse in their hearts. Nick didn't expect that there would be an Inhuman here who was not affected by the reversal crystal and was still maintaining the mutated appearance, looking very dangerous.

Pierce, on the other hand, associated the other party with the god that the robed woman of the Malick family kept chanting about at the first sight of him.

"Warning, warning! High energy level detected."

Not only did the rings on Nick and Pierce begin to warn, but the Sanctum Sanctorum in the metropolis also issued a corresponding alarm.

Hive's body began to swell violently, and soon his cloak was torn to pieces. In the blink of an eye, he had expanded from a normal human size to a huge monster with a height of more than ten meters and dense tentacles!

The monster let out a sharp mental shriek, and everyone present lowered their heads at the same time, holding their heads. People with strong will and protected by mental rings were less affected, only suffering a headache, and quickly broke free and regained their thinking ability. But those who were not protected by mental rings had bright red blood flowing from their mouths and noses, and their mental will suffered varying degrees of trauma.

The huge octopus monster's entire body began to emit strong hallucinogenic hormones, and the bloated and huge body surface had faint human face patterns floating.

The dense tentacles stretched out, like a brown sky-covering curtain extending around, and the light in front of everyone's eyes suddenly dimmed. The tentacles wrapped up the agents who had lost their resistance, and then a group of tiny bugs would squeeze out of the skin on the tentacles, climbing along the tentacles to the bound agents like a charge, crawling into their mouths. Throughout the whole process, the bound agents seemed unaware, and even had a strange smile on their faces, as if they were having some kind of sweet dream.

This bizarre scene made the scalps of the sober people tingle.

Faced with this unconventional enemy, Nick and Pierce, while dodging the entanglement of the tentacles with the help of the rings, both had the idea of summoning reinforcements. Nick instantly sent out a distress signal to the Sorcerer Supreme and Luke through the ring. Only they had the ability to arrive instantly and provide timely support.

Otherwise, summoning the army or the Avengers, by the time they arrived, these people would have long been reduced to the monster's food.

A spinning door opened in the surrounding area, and the Sorcerer Supreme, who stepped out, couldn't help but curl his lips and felt relieved when he saw the octopus-like monster whose body had swelled to the size of a small mountain.

It was not a dimensional demon invasion, and he did not feel the extremely dangerous high-dimensional power, very good!

The sky lit up.

A brilliant beam of light descended from the sky, accurately hitting the octopus-like monster.

Seeing this beam of light, the Sorcerer Supreme silently recited a word of envy, jealousy, and hatred in his heart.

"Damn it!"
