I sparked a mythological frenzy in Marvel.

Chapter 116 Let's Embrace Our Father

"Rumlow, do you know what you're doing?"

Alexander Pierce roared incredulously at his confidant, but the muzzle of the gun prevented him from moving.

The situation changed so quickly that he was caught off guard.

He had been preparing to arrest Xia Ling and bring S.H.I.E.L.D. back under his control, but unexpectedly, he became a prisoner in the blink of an eye.

"What did that Asian guy give you that you would betray me, betray Hydra!"

Alexander Pierce's voice trembled with anger, his eyes filled with shock and resentment. He tried to find an answer in Rumlow's cold and ruthless face, but all he got in response was silence and the gun pressed against his forehead, cold and resolute.

"Let me answer you. Agent Rumlow and these agents were simply called by God, so they reformed themselves and decided to leave Hydra and destroy this evil organization."

Xia Ling's voice rang out at this moment, and Alexander Pierce's face twisted in anger as he roared.

"Do you think everyone's a fool? Who would believe that reason? Rumlow, what benefits did this Asian man secretly promise you?"

When confronted with Alexander Pierce’s questioning, Rumlow simply shook his head slightly.

"The director didn't give me any benefits. It's just that I converted to Buddhism and no longer want to do evil with you."

Alexander Pierce's face darkened further at Rumlow's reply. He clenched his teeth, his eyes blazing, trying to discern any trace of a lie in Rumlow's seemingly calm eyes, but to no avail.

"I admit I lost this time, but I still have value. I will tell you everything I know."

"No need. You're worthless now, Rumlow. Kill him."

Upon hearing Xia Ling's order, Rumlow did not hesitate at all. His finger slowly increased the pressure on the trigger, and the cold muzzle gleamed with a deathly light under the lamplight.

Alexander Pierce's pupils seemed to freeze at that moment. He tried to struggle, but his body was bound by invisible chains and he could not move.

"No...you can't do this..."

His voice was weak and desperate, filled with fear of death and resentment at defeat.

However, the gunshot rang out, piercing through all the struggle and resentment, and everything fell silent.

Alexander Pierce's body jolted violently, then he collapsed helplessly to the ground, his once ambitious eyes losing their luster.

Rumlow didn't side with Xia Ling because of some bullshit conversion to the Holy Son. When Alexander Pierce decided to use the power contained in the corpse of Banner's underlings to enhance his Hydra agents, this outcome was already predetermined.

Since it's all Xia Ling's own divine power, once he's mastered it, he can completely transform it into the power of another god.

Although Rumlow gained his power from the followers of Khorne, the boss behind the scenes is the same person. Once he becomes proficient in the business, he can easily transform an entire department.

Therefore, Alexander Pierce was no longer of any use.

Or rather, having completed his mission in Xia Ling's script, it was time for him to be eliminated.

"Director Xia, since Rumlow has been one of your men for a long time, why did you go to such lengths?"

Tony grimaced in dissatisfaction, still in excruciating pain; Rumlow hadn't held back at all when he attacked him.

Tony is still able to stand up only because he treated himself; otherwise, with all these injuries, he would be in the hospital right now.

"If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. That Winter Soldier under his command is not easy to deal with. A sneak attack is the best option."

Xia Ling responded with a smile, and looking at Tony grinning and Natasha wearing a mask of pain, he laughed even harder.

"But I'm really annoyed, Director Xia. You didn't do it on purpose, did you? I have a feeling you deliberately let Rumlow beat me up."

"How could that be? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Tony, you've misunderstood me. How about this, let Rumlow apologize to you?"

Xia Ling responded with a smile, then beckoned Rumlow over, seemingly preparing to make the agent apologize.

"No need. Since Director Xia has said so, I'll just believe you."

Tony was also helpless, but he couldn't figure out what he had done to offend him.

Of course, it's because the Winter Soldier is very powerful, and to avoid excessive casualties, a sneak attack is the best option.

It wasn't because their previous actions had displeased Xia Ling.

"Chief, is it really okay to just kill Pierce like this? Shouldn't we have gotten more information from him?"

Natasha raised a question at this point. Having frequently interrogated people for information, she felt that if she were to take matters into her own hands, she would surely be able to extract more information from Alexander Pierce.

"That won't be necessary. There are still many Hydras lurking in the world. Who knows when this head will be rescued."

To avoid any unforeseen complications, it's best to execute such dangerous individuals on the spot.

If I really let you interrogate them, what if you actually get some information out of them?

Since Xia Ling had already said so, Natasha, as his subordinate, didn't press further.

It's best not to get involved in these power struggles among the upper echelons.

"Rumlow, get rid of these Hydra corpses. They've polluted my office, and it's a waste of money to clean them up."

That being said, there is one thing Xia Ling should thank Alexander Pierce for.

When he was researching this power, he didn't keep it to himself. After making some transactions, he actually shared this power with the other Hydras.

This means it's time for the rest of Hydra to change their beliefs.

Baron Strucker was particularly pleased at his base in Sokovia.

The power that Alexander Pierce shared with him was exceptionally strong; he seemed to see endless vitality within it.

During the experiment, not a single test subject died.

This force is so stable, and so powerful.

If used properly, it can definitely help Hydra dominate the world.

Although many of the test subjects' bodies showed varying degrees of decay, it wasn't a big problem; at least they weren't dead.

On the contrary, they are still alive and well, full of energy!

The newly arrived twins surprised Baron Strucker even more with their acceptance of this power; they mastered it the fastest.

Although, the two of them look almost like one person.

However, that's not important. What's important is that they can all become important pieces in one's own game.

Huh? Why do I smell bad?
