While Phil leads his team to rescue the alien planet, the Hive takes advantage of the chaos to return to Earth.

There are two Hives: one is a secret underground base of the Umbrella Corporation, and the other is the Inhumans themselves.

The Hive that returned to Earth this time is a genuine Inhuman race, which underwent genetic surgery by the Kree thousands of years ago.

When the Kree landed on Earth, they selected a group of humans for live experiments. Now, all Inhumans are direct descendants of those experimental subjects.

Relying on their innate superpowers, the Inhumans managed to blast the Kree out of the solar system.

The Hive that Malik brought back from the alien planet was named Elvis, and he was among the first Inhumans to be modified.

After shaking off S.H.I.E.L.D.'s pursuit, Malik, along with Elvis, plunged into a secret hideout.

Malik bowed slightly, his tone humble: "How are you feeling?"

"Everything is as usual," Hive nodded in response.

The Kree's transformation was long ago complete—his body had long since been transformed into a symbiotic organism with countless living parasites interlocking intricately.

"Please give instructions on the next steps." Malik stood with his hands at his sides.

"Give me books, the more the better," Beehive's voice was deep and steady.

Having been away from Earth for thousands of years, he urgently needs to fill this gap: What has changed in human society? How many times have the rules governing the world changed?

In his early years, the Inhumans used Kree technology to exile him to a distant star system, imprisoning him on a cold alien planet.

Now back in its familiar territory, the Hive, with Malik's full assistance, is both recruiting the scattered remnants of the Inhuman race and gathering top scientific research talent.

The Inhumans have always lived in groups, and there are currently two groups: one group lies dormant in the heart of the Earth, and the other group hides on the dark side of the moon.

Despite its extensive network of eyes and ears, Hydra could never pinpoint the location of the Inhuman race on Earth.

However, the current population is too small, so Hive has decided to restart the "human creation" process.

The first Inhumans were created by the Kree through forced mutation of mortal flesh and blood.

The Hive could draw a route map with its eyes closed from the coordinates of those Kree devices left on Earth.

As the leader of the Inhumans created by the Kree themselves, he was born with the neural connection to rule over the entire race.

With his wealth and power, Malik quickly located the whereabouts of several anonymous superhumans and also uncovered the bioengineering expert that the Hive had specifically requested.

After more than 100 days of effort, a group of driven scientists finally pieced together a "mutant bomb".

That morning, it had just risen over New York when it was detonated in mid-air by an anti-aircraft missile.

Grayish-green gas drifted in the wind, and mournful wails echoed through the streets.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of ordinary people experienced chapped skin, bone remodeling, and genetic mutations, transforming them into superhuman beings.

Hive had hoped that this new force could support the new order, but it only managed to gather tens of thousands of people—far from meeting expectations. A cold, hard disappointment flashed across his eyes.

Many New Yorkers who had been injected with the Super Soldier Serum grabbed sticks and guns and roared as they charged at the grotesque new aliens.

These hastily created superhumans have physical abilities about three times that of ordinary people. Although they are inferior to serum warriors, their numbers are astonishing.

Tens of thousands of people surged forward like a torrent, rampaging through the crowd and crushing multiple police lines in just half a day.

Tony, clad in a silver and blue Iron Man suit, soared through the air, and with a wave of his hand, Inhumans exploded and fell to the ground one after another.

The Hive immediately gave the order, and several uncorrupted native Inhumans leaped out, each displaying their superpowers to attack Iron Man.

However, that mutation bomb had a fatal flaw—all newly born Inhumans lost their superpowers.

Chung Kwok-hung had no intention of moving at all. He was currently sprawled on the living room sofa, enjoying Wanda's gentle acupressure massage, while his gaze leisurely swept over the chaotic battlefield scene in the holographic projection.

The technology behind the Blackrock teleportation array originated from the Kree civilization.

The replica "Supreme Intelligence" that Xiaobai swallowed had already packed up all of the Kree's technological legacy into its storage.

To put it more bluntly: everything the Kree once knew, Little White now knows.

After all, that data theft happened many years ago.

He leaned back on the cushions, tapping the armrest with his fingertips, watching with great interest.

Sell? Sure, price to be offered!

He is now the emperor of the Xuyang Empire.

Wanda was crowned Queen, while Natasha, Selena, Helen Zhao, and others were made royal consorts.

A few days ago, he publicly announced the establishment of the Xuyang Empire in front of a global live broadcast.

Whether he admits it or not, he doesn't care at all.

In his eyes, he was in charge within his territory—if he wanted to be emperor, he would be; if he wanted to establish a harem, he would establish one; even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't interfere in his own affairs.

Occasionally, he would venture out in the middle of the night in his cloak, playing the role of a "night owl," just to find some amusement when he was bored.

He wasn't going to waste his time dealing with the current chaos in New York.

Despite its impressive appearance, Hive is actually weak and incompetent, and is not even in the same league as Tony.

Tony's armor has been upgraded to Mark 100—a nanometer-level reconstruction with its own energy field shield.

This shield can withstand most super-powered impacts and pyrochemical erosion.

Wearing the Mark 100, Tony didn't even bother to dodge the cloud of parasites released by the Hive, passing right through it.

Sure enough, he followed the signal to locate the hive, and three high-energy pulses blasted down. Before the hive could even scream, it completely disintegrated into ashes.

With the death of the Hive, all the newly born superhumans were instantly disconnected and plunged into a chaotic rampage.

In less than two hours, the alienated population in the entire city of New York had been completely cleared away.

S.H.I.E.L.D. detained a group of Inhumans, while Hydra abducted another group of Inhumans...

"Tony's new armor is sleek and responsive, and deserves to be replicated exactly."

Zhong Guohong remained invisible, his figure blending into the night like ink, silently seizing the technical blueprints and the entire set of active-duty armor.

He possesses multiple superpowers, including the ability to control his body temperature and bioelectric waves at will, rendering Jarvis's scanning network useless against him.

While the alien technology was undoubtedly ingenious, Tony Stark possessed an astonishing intellect, with ideas flowing like a torrent.

Zola, who is well-versed in the cutting-edge technologies of many galaxies, certainly surpasses Tony in the breadth of his knowledge.

However, in terms of sharp thinking, logical tension, and ability to break through impasses, Tony and Zola are evenly matched.

Tony's Iron Man suit is already a revolutionary technology that defies common sense, while Zola's consciousness transfer technique—which completely separates the soul and seamlessly infuses it into a new body—is a forbidden zone among advanced technologies, the pinnacle of taboos.

As long as there is a heartbeat, there is still hope; as long as life continues, anything is possible.

If one has a long enough lifespan, even the most difficult predicament will eventually be resolved.

Using Zola's consciousness transfer technique, mortals can also break free from the shackles of lifespan and live forever.

Cloning a living body and then carefully transplanting consciousness into it—returning to youth and continuing one's life—is no longer a fantasy.

Perhaps it was because of the protection of the treasure basin, or perhaps it was because his soul was too strong and his structure too dense, that no external force could pry open the door to his consciousness.

What Tony accomplished in a year, others could possibly replicate even if they spent a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years trying?

Back at Xuyang Manor, Zhong Guohong summoned Xiaobai and ordered her to forge a ring-shaped suit of armor.
