American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

The old official stepped forward excitedly, ready to use a new method.

However, at this moment, the prison door suddenly opened, disturbing the old official's interest.

He turned his head somewhat unhappily, wanting to see who was ruining his plans. However, when he saw who was ruining his plans, his expression changed immediately, and he immediately knelt down to greet the person respectfully.

"I didn't know the Saint Lady was coming, and I'm sorry I failed to greet her..."

The old officials learned the old things left by their ancestors and accepted the old feudal system, so flattering their superiors has become an instinct ingrained in them.

"Go down and leave me and this person some space alone."

"But Saint, this place is dirty, I'm afraid..."

"go out."

"Yes!" The old official didn't dare to say more and quickly bowed and left the cell.

After he left, Xu Xialing approached the Winter Soldier.

Bucky raised his head and looked at the person who came. He found that it was a very young woman who looked Asian like the old official before.

He couldn't remember when he had offended such a group of people.

"James Barnes."

"Who...are you?" Bucky's voice was hoarse, like a thirsty desert traveler who hadn't eaten a drop of water all day.

"Have you heard of the Ten Rings Gang?"

The Winter Soldier's face changed.

Xu Xialing smiled: "It seems you know."

"The Ten Rings Gang is just an armed organization in the Middle East. It should have been destroyed years ago..."

After leaving Hydra, Bucky lost his biggest source of intelligence, and Steve was not a qualified agent. In addition, their main focus was on Hydra, so it was inevitable that they paid less attention to other forces.

All they knew about the Ten Rings was that they had kidnapped Tony Stark, who was not yet Iron Man, and indirectly gave birth to this superhero.

"The organization you mentioned is just a fake that used our name. It was actually destroyed by my father."

The Winter Soldier narrowed his eyes and asked, "Does your father have a grudge against Steve?"

Just now, the old official had been asking about Steve's news, and now the girl said this again, so the Winter Soldier naturally had some associations.

"That's what we want to verify," Xu Xialing said. "My father died, and before he died, he met Captain America. We want to know if his death was related to Captain America."

"So what if there is?"

"You should be able to understand the feeling of a child wanting to avenge his father, right? If my father's death is really related to him, shouldn't I take revenge?"

"Then you must also understand that it is impossible for me to tell you the news about Steve."

"Of course, of course I understand." Xu Xialing didn't care.

"But I'm curious, is your friendship truly that deep? You're willing to endure the hardship you're experiencing right now to protect his secret. Does Captain America feel the same way?"

The Winter Soldier thought she wanted to alienate him from Steve and ignored her.

But Xu Xialing immediately said, "If he cares about you as much as you care about him, then he will definitely find a way to find you."

Winter Soldier suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Xu Xialing.

"It seems my guess was right. Did you secretly send a message to Captain America? I hope he can find this place soon."

Hearing this, the Winter Soldier wanted to get up, but his scapula was pierced and he had very little strength left, and every movement caused pain all over his body.

Even so, the chains that bound him still rattled as he pulled them, and some were even stretched so tight that they looked like they were about to break.

The old official probably couldn't have imagined that the man who allowed him to do whatever he wanted actually had such powerful strength hidden in his body.

Xu Xialing took two steps back, and the Winter Soldier's body stopped one step in front of her, only one step away, but it seemed like a distance that could never be reached.

Xu Xialing's eyes lit up slightly. "I didn't expect you to be able to exert such power even in this state. Is this a super soldier?"

The Winter Soldier saw a familiar desire in the other's eyes, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"I suddenly feel that it is a waste to torture you here. You should be able to make greater contributions to me."

The gap between Xu Xialing and Shang Qi now lies in pure strength, which cannot be made up in a short period of time by any means, and can only be compensated by waiting for the body to develop.

But when Xu Xialing grows up, Shang-Chi will also continue to grow, and the power gap between them may be narrowed. But if they fight again, she will still be at a disadvantage.

Unless she can obtain Kunlun's Qigong practice methods, it will be difficult for her to overtake others once her Qi strength is limited.

But the Winter Soldier brought her new hope. What martial arts could not help her with, technology might be able to.

This soldier's fighting skills were so crude, but he was able to rely on pure physical strength to fight against the most elite warriors of the Golden Dagger for a long time, which was quite commendable.

The Winter Soldier's ominous premonition came true.

After Xu Xialing left, he was taken out of prison and sent to a laboratory under the name of the Ten Rings Gang.

She wants to gain the power of a super soldier, and this power is hidden in the Winter Soldier.

Chapter 967 Confidence

In Earth's low-Earth orbit, on the Space Station Pioneer.

Dane is debugging the newly built quantum shuttle.

After obtaining the Pym particles, Dane quickly developed tools based on this substance.

Using Fastos's abilities, he quickly built himself a machine that could receive signals from the quantum realm.

Knowing that Kang in the quantum realm has been paying attention to information from the real universe, Dane did not act as rashly as Ant-Man Scott's daughter Cassie and send signals to the quantum realm.

But in this case, without specific signal coordinates, if Dane enters the quantum field directly, he is likely to fall randomly into any location in the quantum universe.

The space in the quantum realm is similar to the real universe, infinitely vast, and the time rules in some places are different from those in other places.

In "Ant-Man 3", Hank Pym's ants once fell into an abnormal place where time was distorted, resulting in Hank and others only staying there for a few hours, but the ants had already developed for thousands of years and updated countless generations.

They even developed a second-level civilization, considering that the Earth is currently only at the first level.

Although a large number of technology companies have turned their attention to space now that Umbrella has been established, they are still far away from becoming a second-level civilization.

Dane didn't want to waste a lot of time finding his way when he got lost, so it was necessary to obtain accurate coordinate information.

Fortunately, 960 Hank Pym has always been obsessed with finding Janet, so there are relevant clues in his memory.

Since Janet disappeared while wearing the Wasp suit, tracking the signal of the Wasp suit is equivalent to tracking her.

Hank never dared to forget the source code of this signal and always kept it in mind.

Dane has been using a machine he made by hand to capture signals from the quantum world these days, but because that world is so vast, it is not easy to capture Janet's signal.

If Janet and Kang have fallen out now, she might also cover up her signal to prevent Kang from tracking her down.

But she couldn't stop the signals that had already been sent, and this would be Dane's chance.

This will be a protracted battle. After all, even Hank Pym himself had to work hard for many years before he was able to obtain Janet's quantum signal.

This is because Scott once entered the subatomic field and inadvertently had a connection with the quantum world, which led to the quantum entanglement phenomenon with Janet from the same world by chance.

Dane wondered whether he should capture Scott and give it a try. Some people in the Marvel world seemed to have a destiny, and they often had a higher success rate than others when doing things.

Just then, Cortana's voice rang in his ears.

"Dane, Nata read a confidential piece of information a while ago."

Although Natasha can read almost all the secret files, those parts specially marked by Dane will automatically trigger the security protocol when they are read and be transmitted to Dane.

At this time, Cortana was reporting to him about Natasha's reading of intelligence related to Wakanda.

"Wakanda? When did she become interested in that country?"

Speaking of vibranium, Umbrella doesn't actually have much demand for it nowadays. Even if it wants it, it can be synthesized using a material converter.

Only after he retrieved the relevant intelligence and read it did he understand the whole picture.

"The friend Steve is talking about is obviously Bucky the Winter Soldier. Where is he now?"

When he was working with Bucky, he secretly installed a tracker in the other's iron arm. He guessed that Bucky would not maintain the iron arm and was just a user.

But Cortana's search yielded no results. The tracker's signal had been lost, and it must have been destroyed.

Dane pondered. If we ruled out the possibility that Bucky himself discovered and dismantled it, then his iron arm must have been destroyed by someone else, and the tracker inside it was also destroyed.

There are not many people who can do this. Like Natasha, Dane's first suspicion is also Wakanda. Black Panther seems to have this ability.

If the other party mistakenly thought he was a smuggler who stole vibranium, it would be normal for him to have a conflict with Buggy.

But is there any shadow of Hydra in this?

Since the Winter Soldier appeared there, it must be because he found the trace of Hydra.

Cortana reminded him that Natasha had already arrived at the place where Bucky last disappeared, faster than Steve.

Without the protection of S.H.I.E.L.D., it suddenly became much more difficult for Captain America to leave America.

This enabled Natasha to rush to the scene to investigate before him. She found the satellite phone left by Bucky in the jungle. Based on the traces of battle, she judged that Bucky might have been captured.

What puzzled her was that there were a lot of traces of cold weapon combat at the scene, which was not like Hydra's style.

Natasha continued to follow the traces and finally found a secret base buried under the ruins. It seemed to have been blown up from the inside out.

Natasha reasoned based on the information she knew and finally concluded that the base should have been destroyed by the Winter Soldier.

If this speculation is true, then the Winter Soldier should not have been captured by Hydra. There is no need to use an entire base as bait to capture a Winter Soldier.

Natasha was a little curious about this. Could it be that he was really from Wakanda?

I heard that the people of Wakanda like to use cold weapons in combat. Even though they have precious resources like vibranium and even though they have more advanced technological capabilities, they still like to fight with more primitive methods.

The Black Widows were all ashamed of not being able to infiltrate Wakanda, and Natasha wanted to help when she saw this.

If the Winter Soldier was really captured by the Wakandans, perhaps they would not need to take the secret infiltration route, they could have taken the official route.

Umbrella could have called Wakanda officials in the name of Sokovia and asked them to explain this.

Internationally, Wakanda still has the image of being backward, poor, and refusing external aid. Even a small country like Sokovia is superior to it in international status.

If she just wants to question Wakanda, she still lacks strong evidence, and what she has now is completely insufficient.

Just when she was secretly planning, she received a call from her boss.

"Natasha, there's no need for you to continue following up on this matter."

"why?"

If it were at S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha would never have asked this question. Perhaps it's because those who are favored are fearless.

"Wakanda is no longer important to me, nor is the Winter Soldier. I have a new goal here, and once it is completed, the gains will far exceed Wakanda alone."

In the past, because of Umbrella's technological strength, Dane did covet Wakanda's technology, because that kind of technology developed very quickly.

However, all of Wakanda's technology is based on a special material called vibranium, so its development is also limited by this material. In Dane's eyes, it is a bit biased.

Now that Umbrella has its own research and development path, it no longer takes Wakanda's deformed technology seriously.

It’s just that the Black Widows still have the obsession they had at that time and failed to change their thinking in time.

"So, you don't want Wakanda anymore?"

"It's no longer needed."

"Okay then." Natasha decisively gave up her original plan.

But she thought about it and decided that even if Dane didn't need it, she might still be able to do Steve a favor with it.

He is probably still racking his brains over how to leave the country?

She told Dane her idea. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Since you're so eager to get involved, why not do it thoroughly? I'll grant you some of Astartes' authority."

"Whether the enemy is Hydra or Wakanda, there is no need to fear."

Although Dane himself didn't need it, Umbrella now had the ability to intervene in any incident. Since the people below wanted to show their skills, then let them do it.

Chapter 968 Quantum Realm

After leaving all the matters on the ground to Natasha, Dane put on his homemade Ant-Man suit, which still maintained the style of "Red Hood".

Of course, in this world, he seems to have the nickname "outsider". Nick Fury is a petty person and he wants to take advantage of this little verbal advantage.
