I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

They infiltrated various organizations.

To secretly observe the world.

But clearly, they were all wrong.

Every move of the Hydra was observed by the eyes of the demon before them.

Brock Rumlow didn't know what the Ice Demon's ultimate goal was.

But this is definitely not a good thing for Hydra.

..... ... ....

"Ice Demon, if you cooperate with us, the whole world will be yours. We Hydra possess endless wealth, and it can all be yours."

Brock Rumlow was scared.

He thought of the Ice Demon's greed.

Therefore, they wanted to bribe the other party with wealth.

But clearly, the young man in front of him was unmoved.

Brock Rumlow slowly knelt down: "It seems I cannot escape death."

"I hope you will use your freezing power to freeze me. I don't want to become a dried-up corpse after I die."

Brock Rumlow closed his eyes.

Hao Longtao replied, "You Hydra possess many mysterious powers. If you leave your corpses intact, perhaps your Hydra organization can resurrect you all."

Hao Longtao's palm flashed with white light.

The river cracked open.

“However, I don’t want Hydra to know that I killed you. After all, it would mean the end of my peaceful life.”

Flames appeared in Hao Longtao's hand.

Brock Rumlow felt the river water was boiling.

The terrifying heat made him open his eyes, staring in horror at everything before him.

"How is that possible? How can one person wield so much power?"

Clearly, Brock Rumlow always believed that Hao Longtao was a powerful mutant.

Hao Longtao smiled.

【Shenhuo.Shiranui】

A fire dragon was released from his palm, rushing towards everything in front of him.

A raging fire burned from the bottom of the river.

On the river surface, a large amount of water evaporates, forming water vapor that shrouds a section of the river like a white mist.

The steel was melted down, and the bones were burned to ashes.

As Hao Longtao turned to leave, the river surged fiercely, sweeping away all traces and flowing towards the Atlantic Ocean.

Hao Longtao soared into the sky, his legs transforming into flames, hurtling through the air like a rocket.

It left a long trail.

This move, however, replicates Thunderbolt's flight ability.

Because his Flame-Flame Fruit awakened, his clothes were well protected.

Back to the villa near Central Park.

I entered the house and glanced at my watch.

Exactly ten minutes have passed.

Hao Longtao loosened his tie, took off his leather shoes as he walked, and gradually threw his expensive suit on the ground.

Following the rushing water, we arrived at the master bedroom on the second floor.

At Gwen's exclamation, Hao Longtao let out a smug laugh.

Desire value: 356 million points.

The situation is escalating.

Desire is rising steadily.

The time for harvest has arrived.

Tonight, maybe Gwen can help me reach five million desire points.

New York, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret base.

Nine mummies lay on a stainless steel table.

At this moment, the forensic doctors surrounding the corpses of these shriveled monsters wore expressions of disbelief.

"It's not just simple dehydration; their cells are completely devoid of water, and even their bone marrow has lost all its moisture, not to mention their brain cells."

"They have formed an absolutely waterless state within their bodies."

Therefore, it is impossible for them to be alive.

"At least carbon-based life on Earth cannot survive without water."

Experts continued to gather opinions.

Nick Fury's expression grew increasingly grim.

The Ice Demon appears to possess more than one ability.

"Ding dong~~"

A message has been compromised on Nick Fury's smartphone.

Nick Fury turned on his phone, only to find a video.

But then they saw a giant spider beast being repeatedly hammered in a human's hand.

They had absolutely no power to retaliate.

From the perspective of the video, this was filmed from the sky.

The person who delivered the video was Tony Stark.

Chapter 72 Desire Value Exceeds Five Million, Piercing the Duke

[Please subscribe to the full book, please give me flowers, I urgently need your support!] [Also, I recommend my other novel (Martial Arts Universe: I Awakened the System of Many Children, Many Blessings in the Imperial Palace), it's already finished, you can read it now!]

“Nick, can you tell me the true identity of my partner? A small body with superhuman strength.”

Tony Stark sent a message.

At the same time, another message arrived.

However, a bizarre incident occurred on the Manhattan Bridge.

A row of vehicles was swept to the bottom of the river by a water jet.

A dazzling fire appeared at the bottom of the river.

Along with the water vapor, it creates a unique and beautiful scene.

Nick Fury's fingers were trembling.

"I underestimated you."

Nick Fury sighed inwardly.

He always believed that a high school student possessing such great power and a certain degree of self-control was something he hoped to recruit into S.H.I.E.L.D.

But now he realizes he was wrong.

The high school student in front of you may not be Hao Longtao as his profile suggests.

Rather, they were truly possessed by a demon.

An existence possessing invincible power.

His threat level is even higher than Professor X's.

Having experienced the Apocalypse Crisis, he understands very well how terrifying Professor X is.

He can control people's minds and suggest that they die directly.

Professor X is incredibly capable, but the beliefs he holds are ones that Nick Fury admires.

After all, he has always been building bridges between humans and mutants.

Nick Fury was also aware of the danger posed by mutants.

The real danger does not come from the power of mutants.

Rather, it is their inflated desires and ambitions after they gained power.

"Sir, this is a good thing, so why do you look so pale?"

Natasha looked puzzled.

Nick Fury turned off his phone screen: "Nothing, Tony texted me, I need to talk to him about something. Natasha, do you think forming the Avengers was the right or wrong thing to do?"

Nick Fury suddenly asked.

Natasha laughed and said, "I just feel that having a sword in my hand means I can use it to protect myself when I encounter danger."

Natasha recalled Hao Longtao's words.

Natasha could hear his pessimism about the future in his words.

Now that Hao Longtao is already so powerful, why does he still lack confidence in the future?

Could an even more powerful enemy emerge in the future?

Looking across the Earth, there's nothing left that can threaten him, right?

"Yes, with a sword in hand, we can use it anytime."

Nick Fury thought of Tony.

Just like his father, Howard Stark, he played a huge role in times of crisis, saving countless lives.

Tony Stark possessed such talent.

If he had teamed up with the captain, Nick wouldn't have been without a sword.

Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, if only she would stay on Earth.

"Cover up tonight's events. Also, notify all our agents: Dr. Connor is wanted worldwide!!!"

Nick coldly issued the order.

Dr. Connor has used biological weapons on a large scale.

S.H.I.E.L.D. must prevent the leakage of genetic technology before Dr. Connor creates a terrifying army of monsters.

"Sir, I will issue the order now."

Phil Coulson also looked grave.

He thought more than Natasha did.

At the same time, they also realized that the real ice demon was terrifying.

If the Ice Demon were to truly spiral out of control, it would be a disaster for the United States.

"Natasha, get into Osborn as soon as possible and find out exactly how many gene serums have been researched in the Osborn gene bank. If possible, find the access gene serum. If we really face the monster army, we won't be without a sword."

Nick Fury, at that moment, also understood the difficulties General Ross had faced.

Mutants are far more numerous than these mutants.

It is more threatening.

But mutants have not risen to prominence as expected.

This is also thanks to the military.

Of course, the military is also eyeing genetic weapons.
