American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 144 Flesh and Blood vs. Technological Creations (4000 words)

"That's right, they think I can help their cause, and likewise, I've helped my own."

"Hydra and Red Skull died together, but if you cut off one head, two new ones will grow back."

As Dr. Zola spoke, he displayed the Hydra logo on an antique monitor.

"Prove it to me," Rogers said quickly.

"Accessing archives," Dr. Zola's voice sounded again.

At the same time, a black and white video started playing on the screen to the left.

"Hydra's original founding principle was that we should not relinquish freedom to humanity, but we overlooked a very important thing."

"That is, if you try to take away people's freedom, they will resist."

"War and defeat have taught us a lot."

"People need to give up their freedom themselves, voluntarily."

"After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was established and recruited me. A new Hydra began to grow, a beautiful parasite living inside S.H.I.E.L.D."

"For the past 70 years, Hydra has been secretly fueling various crises and profiting from wars and crises."

"When history refuses to cooperate, we change history."

After watching the video played by Dr. Zola, Natasha quickly said, "That's impossible. S.H.I.E.L.D. won't just stand by and watch you grow stronger, and you can't completely hide from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eyes and ears."

While S.H.I.E.L.D. is not omnipotent, its employees are not just freeloaders who take the money and do nothing.

Even if Pierce was the leader of Hydra, it's impossible that S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't discovered any clues before Pierce rose to a high position.

Dr. Zola immediately replied, "At the beginning, it was indeed not an easy task to completely deceive S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eyes and ears."

"But we have strict corrective measures in place. When someone notices something is wrong, we will secretly get rid of that person and make them die in an accident."

At this point, a news report about the Howards' death in a car accident appeared on the left screen.

Natasha and Rogers fell silent.

Like Tony, they had always believed that the deaths of Howard and his wife were just an accident, never imagining that it was something Hydra had deliberately created to prevent Howard from discovering their existence.

"Hydra created an extremely chaotic world, and humanity finally prepared to sacrifice freedom for safety."

"Once our evolutionary process is complete, a new world order established by Hydra will be born."

"Captain Rogers, we let you win the first round back then."

"Now, it's our turn to win."

"Your life and death have the same value, both equal to zero."

Bang!

No sooner had Dr. Zola finished speaking than Rogers slammed his vibranium shield into the left side of the screen.

Dr. Zola seemed to have anticipated Rogers' reaction and moved the blurry face to the right side of the screen.

"What's on the USB drive?" Rogers asked loudly.

"The Insight Project requires insight, so I wrote an algorithm," Dr. Zola replied.

"What kind of algorithm is it, and what is it used for?" Natasha pressed.

"The answer to this question is intriguing, but unfortunately, I have no obligation to tell the answer to four dead men."

As soon as Dr. Zola finished speaking, the security door to the computer room began to close.

Without hesitation, Rogers threw the vibranium shield over, attempting to use it to prevent the security door from closing.

As it turned out, he had oversimplified things.

The security door, made of metal and several thousand centimeters thick, closed completely under their watchful eyes.

The vibranium shield that hit the security door bounced off a nearby wall pillar before flying back to Rogers.

Rogers grabbed the vibranium shield and put it on his left hand.

Natasha pulled a cell phone-like detector from her pocket and frowned, saying, "Everyone, a short-range ballistic missile is heading our way and is expected to hit us in 30 seconds."

"Who fired it?" Rogers asked.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.!" Natasha replied.

After saying that, she looked at Roy and gestured for him to open the portal immediately.

Before Roy could answer, Dr. Zola slowly said, "I'm really sorry, I've been stalling for time. You'll have to accept your fate."

"

"This is actually better. We're all in the same boat; time is running out."

Roy ignored Dr. Zola and calmly circulated his chakra, saying to Natasha and the other two, "It's just a short-range ballistic missile, no need to run."

Magnetism!

As he used Magnet Release, his chakra rapidly transformed into a high-intensity magnetic force.

When the short-range ballistic missile was still five kilometers away from the military camp, the missile, which was originally flying at high speed toward the camp, was firmly locked by magnetic force, changed its flight direction, and flew into the air like a rocket.

After flying to an altitude of several thousand meters, the missile exploded like fireworks, turning into a huge orange-red fireball.

Having dealt with the missiles Hydra used to silence him, Roy retrieved a palm-sized handheld computer from his system space, its screen as transparent as glass.

After powering it on, he said to the handheld computer, "Jarvis, there's a digital life here. Take care of him, then lock him in my private server."

"Yes, Mr. Roy!"

Jarvis's synthesized voice immediately came from the handheld computer.

The next second, Dr. Zola's voice rang out.

"Trying to defeat me with artificial intelligence? You're underestimating me. I am—"

"Damn it! What are you doing?"

"Stop! I told you to stop! Don't touch my database!"

"You forced me to do this, I'll fight you to the death!"

"That's impossible!"

"Why can't my firewall stop you? You—"

Before he could finish speaking, Dr. Zola's voice abruptly stopped, and the entire computer room immediately fell silent.

The antique instruments scattered throughout the computer room stopped working and shut down one after another.

"Mr. Roy, I have imprisoned Dr. Zola using the 'Prison' program as you instructed and transferred him to your private server. Do you have any other instructions?" Jarvis said slowly.

"That's all, thank you for your hard work," Roy said with a satisfied look.

Dr. Zola is not a good person.

However, it cannot be denied that he is a very valuable researcher.

Not to mention the various energy weapons he developed during World War II.

The insight algorithm he wrote for the Insight Project is very valuable.

In the words of Agent Sitwell, the 21st century is a digital book, and Dr. Zola taught Hydra how to read it.

By combining information such as spending records, medical records, voting patterns, emails, call logs, and college exam scores, insight algorithms can predict people's future by assessing their past.

"It's what I should do."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Jarvis continued."

"Let's go back."

Roy shut down the handheld computer, retrieving it from the system space, and took out the Cosmic Cube.

"You should now believe that what I'm saying is true."

"This farce should come to an end."

After saying that, he created a portal to the Tri-Wing Tower, the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After the portal was formed, he was the first to step inside.

Natasha, Rogers, and Peggy followed closely behind.

The portal's exit is in the Security Council President's office on the top floor of the Tri-Wing Building.

After exiting the portal, Roy did not see Pierce.

He was not surprised at all by this result.

If Pierce was unaware that he had also been involved in this matter.

So the moment he used Magnetism to change the missile's trajectory, Pierce knew it.

Now that he knew, Pierce certainly wasn't going to stay in his office and wait to die.

After closing the portal and returning the Cosmic Cube to the system space, Roy said to Natasha and the other two, "The Hydra agents inside headquarters are now in your hands."

"And what about you?" Natasha asked immediately.

"Of course I'm in charge of handling the big guys," Roy said with a smile.

Big guy?

Upon hearing his words, Natasha and Rogers immediately realized that the "big guys" he was referring to were the three second-generation carriers.

"Um—if you run into Buggy, I hope you'll go easy on him."

"He didn't join Hydra voluntarily; he was brainwashed. He's innocent."

Rogers said to Roy.

"good!"

Roy nodded.

Even if Rogers hadn't said anything, he had no intention of killing Bucky.

First, he and Bucky had no personal grudges.

Secondly, from a certain perspective, Bucky is also a pitiful person.

Third, and most importantly, even if Bucky had to be killed, it should be Tony who did it.

Because Bucky was the murderer of the Howards.

Although Bucky was brainwashed, the Howards still died at his hands, no matter what.

Whether Tony forgives Bucky or seeks revenge, it should be up to him to decide.

Rogers was about to say something when a loud mechanical start-up sound came from outside the building.

Without any hesitation, Natasha and Rogers immediately went to the French windows and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The Sky Helicopter's hangar is located below the river next to the building.

The hangar doors, which were originally hidden beneath the river, rose above the water and slowly opened.

As the hangar doors opened, the faint sound of intense gunfire could still be heard coming from inside the hangar.

Clearly, after discovering that Roy had also gotten involved, Pierce was preparing for one last desperate gamble.

Even if the Helicarrier takes off, it may not be able to deal with Roy, but it's better than sitting and waiting to die.

The Sky Carrier has taken off; at least it still has some ability to resist.

If we don't take off, we'll just have to wait to die.

Seeing the hangar doors open, Rogers and Natasha exchanged a glance and immediately left Pierce's office.

"You should go too, but be careful," Roy said slowly, turning to Peggy.

"Yes, you too," Peggy replied softly.

After watching Peggy leave the office, Roy calmly walked to the bar.

After scanning Pierce's collection, he selected the oldest bottle of whisky.

He poured himself a glass, took it to the floor-to-ceiling window, and savored the whiskey while watching the Sky Helicarrier take off.

In the movie, Hydra's Insight Project is an absolute major event.

If everything goes according to Hydra's plan, the first wave of saturation attacks alone will kill more than 70 people.

If Rogers hadn't replaced the chip at the last minute, the death toll would have been higher than the combined total of the Battle of New York and the Battle of Sokovia.

Not long after Peggy and her two companions left the office, intense gunfire erupted inside the Tri-Wing Building.

Time passes little by little.

After the three carriers flew to an altitude of over a thousand meters, Roy downed the whiskey in his glass in one gulp, tossed the glass aside, and raised his right hand.

He glanced at his right thumb, sighed, put it in his mouth, and bit it until it bled.

After drawing blood, he quickly formed hand seals.

Hai! Xu! You! Shen! Wei!

In the blink of an eye, he had completed the five hand seals required to perform the psychic spell and placed his right hand on the ground.

The moment his right hand touched the ground, the black spell of the summoning technique spread out like a spider web from his right hand as the center.

Bang!

White smoke appeared out of nowhere and instantly enveloped the entire office. The roof of the building collapsed as if it had been hit by a bomb, leaving it in a complete mess.

As the smoke cleared, the white dragon, which was previously the guardian deity of the tarot and is now Roy's summoned beast, was summoned and floated above the Tri-Wing Building.

The dragon, who was sleeping at the bottom of Lake Tarot, never expected that Roy would summon him at this time.

Although it was unexpected, upon seeing the Sky Helicarrier in the sky, it immediately guessed Roy's purpose in communicating with it.

Roy stood atop the dragon's head and said to it, "Little White, it's your turn to perform!"

Referring to Shenlong as "Little White" is somewhat arbitrary.

But Roy, who was terrible at naming things, didn't intend to waste too many brain cells on naming the dragon.

Whether it's Xiaobai or Dabai, it's just a code name.

Upon hearing his words, the dragon opened its enormous mouth and let out a roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The dragon roar emitted by Little White not only attracted the attention of Peggy and Rogers, but also drew the attention of the nearby residents.

Peggy and her team, who were fighting Hydra agents inside the building, couldn't see Little White.

But when the people nearby saw Xiaobai, without exception, they all showed expressions of shock.

After the Battle of New York, people realized that humans were not the only intelligent life in the universe.

In the vast universe, there are many intelligent races whose technological level is no less than that of Earth.

Although they knew that aliens were real, the local people did not mistake Xiaobai for an alien creature when they saw it. Instead, they recognized it as a dragon at a glance.

To be precise, it is the dragon from Eastern mythology.

After announcing its arrival with a dragon's roar that shook the crowd, Xiaobai immediately flew towards a sky carrier.

Roy didn't stay on Little White's head the whole time.

After Xiaobai flew toward one of the Sky Helicopters, he used the Super Light Rock Technique to float above the Tri-Wing Tower.

Although Xiaobai didn't have any particularly outstanding moments in the movie, he almost had his soul stolen by the giant Dementor.

But Xiaobai's combat power is exceptionally strong.

The reason they were defeated by the giant Soul Eater was purely for the sake of the plot.

Thousands of years ago, even when the Tarot Warriors were being defeated, Xiaobai managed to repel the giant Soul Eater and seal it inside the Dragon Scale Gate.

After thousands of years of recuperation, Xiaobai is stronger than before.

Soon, Xiaobai flew to the vicinity of one of the Sky Carriers and decisively began its attack.

Flesh and blood versus technological creations!

Judging by size alone, Little White is much slimmer than the Sky Carrier.

But Xiaobai proved with its actions that the Sky Carrier was just a slightly larger toy to it.

Its claws, like hot knives cutting through butter, easily tore open the hull of the Sky Helicarrier.

The cannonballs fired by the Sky Carrier didn't even have a chance to hit the dragon's scales before being blocked by the invisible but real power of the dragon.

Even without the power of the dragon, these cannonballs of all sizes hitting Xiaobai would be like tickling him.

Unless it happens to be hit in the eye or flies into its mouth, these shells cannot cause it any damage.

From the moment Xiaobai's claws touched the hull of the Sky Helicarrier and easily tore it apart, to the time when the Sky Helicarrier was dismembered and its fragments fell from the sky, less than half a minute had passed.

Xiao Bai didn't use the power of the dragon to mobilize the surrounding natural elements to attack the Sky Mothership; he only used his fangs and claws.

Even so, the Sky Carrier couldn't last even half a minute against it.

After taking down the first carrier, Xiaobai flew towards the second carrier, continuing the completely unequal, one-sided crushing attack.
