He also took the opportunity to slice up the previous generation of failed mutants from the Celestial God Group and conducted some research, successfully cracking the secret of how this species could engage in genetic plundering.

However, the mutants' method of plundering genes requires them to consume the species they plunder, which is against human morality. Dane can't just go up and bite someone with superpowers, right? Therefore, he did not adopt this gene.

He can simulate genes, which is just a little slower than direct plundering. There is no need to defile himself and become a beast.

"what are you planning to do?"

Janet watched Dane walk out of the spaceship, and her mind involuntarily recalled the scene when Kang got the battle suit again, and then she remembered that she had connected to Kang's heart through the spaceship and saw the memory of him conquering the world.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

She couldn't help but worry, if Kang's weapon fell into the hands of others, would the consequences be even worse?

Judging from a rational point of view, even if it wasn't Kang, if such weapons fell into the hands of other people, wouldn't he develop the same ambition?

"You probably underestimated me."

In Dane's eyes, Janet's little thoughts were defenseless and he saw through them like a piece of cake.

"With such technology, we are only satisfied with conquering a small planet? What a narrow-minded approach."

Dane opened his mask, revealing his young and handsome face. "I don't have to go out of my way to conquer anything. As long as Umbrella always represents the most advanced and powerful force in the world, people will eventually follow us on their own initiative."

He opened his hand and the small flask that surrounded Janet disintegrated instantly.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Janet returned to her normal size and looked at Dane warily.

But Dane just said, "You can go home now."

Come back home?

This familiar yet unfamiliar word made her feel dazed again, so much so that her previous psychological preparation for sacrifice collapsed in an instant.

"You...are not going to kill me?"

"You are a talent, Janet, and talent is a very valuable asset in this world."

Dane considers the Earth to be his private property, and naturally, so does everyone on it.

It's as if all of Hank Pym's achievements were quietly copied by Dane. As long as Dane thinks it's necessary, anyone's achievements can easily become his. With his strength, it is now difficult for the laws of the earth to restrain him.

The reason for keeping Janet is that she still has the potential to produce some eye-catching scientific research results, and Dane still has expectations for her.

However, Janet couldn't quite understand Dane's thoughts. She frowned and said, "So, you want to force me to work for you?"

Aren’t you afraid that she will slack off?

However, Janet changed her mind and felt that it might be a good thing to be able to stay and work inside Umbrella, which would help her find out the true strength of this organization.

However, Dane did not give her this opportunity.

"I just said you can go home, which means you are free." Dane shook his head: "Don't make me say it twice."

Seeing that Janet still had an expression of disbelief, Dane immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation. As soon as he thought about it, the lifeboat behind Janet suddenly opened, and a powerful suction force instantly sucked her in without warning.

By the time Janet reacted, she was already lying in the lifeboat and the door was locked.

Only then did she believe that the other party actually intended to let her go.

Immediately afterwards, the life capsule was ejected from the space station, adjusted its position near low-Earth orbit, and then pushed itself into the capture range of gravity.

The lifeboat Janet was in turned into a meteor and crashed into the Hawaiian Sea.

Chapter 1007 Steve Falls into a Trap

After throwing Janet back to Earth, Dane no longer paid attention to her, but began to summarize his gains in the quantum field this time.

He has been in Utopia for more than ten years in total. Due to the time asynchrony between the two worlds, only a few months have passed in the real world. Nowadays, the technological strength of Utopia Laboratory has surpassed that of the real world, and the two are showing an asymmetric development trend.

Dane simply divided the two worlds and managed them separately, and he placed his most cutting-edge scientific research in the quantum field.

With the existence of the Time Orb and the Legion's escort, Umbrella has become a force surpassing Kang's Legion, and has initially gained indirect control over all worlds in the quantum field.

In this regard, the Chamber of Commerce has made great contributions.

Taking into account the particularity of the quantum field, Umbrella maintains a relatively loose control over other worlds except Utopia.

They collect resources through the Chamber of Commerce, which can eliminate the hostility of the locals to the greatest extent. The rest will be decided by time. The quantum realm is always more tolerant towards outsiders.

Fortunately, what Utopia lacks the least now is time.

While Dane was busy conquering the quantum realm, something happened in Wakanda, a small country 507 far away in Africa.

The cause of this incident can be traced back to when Dane just entered the quantum realm. Captain America Steve Rogers followed the last disappearance of Winter Soldier Bucky and found the Wakanda jungle.

Since the entire country of Wakanda is shrouded in an energy shield, Steve is always wandering outside the door even though he doesn't know it.

For an old fogy man whose thoughts were still living in seventy years ago, everything in Wakanda was a little too new to him.

Disguised as a natural scientist, he wandered around Wakanda to investigate, and then vaguely realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this country.

According to materials provided by the United Nations, Wakanda should be just a tribe composed of a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic people. Its economy, politics, and technology are extremely backward. The vibranium deposits, once the most valuable natural resource in the territory, were also announced to have been exhausted a long time ago.

That's how it should be.

But Steve discovered a large number of vibranium trading markets here, which were of course illegal. However, the amount of each vibranium transaction showed that Wakanda’s vibranium resources had not been fully mined as they claimed.

If it were just that, it would be fine. What really surprised Steve was that the United Nations seemed to be unaware of the truth here, and no international authority came here to enforce the law.

But as far as Steve knows, there are indeed forces here that crack down on the smuggling of vibranium, and they... are from Wakanda!

Steve saw with his own eyes that in the process of cracking down on the vibranium smuggling trade, a group of young people were caught by the police and stole the vibranium.

Ulysses Klaue, a wealthy and famous vibranium smuggler who hired many international mercenaries to protect his business, was beaten and fled by Wakanda's law enforcement forces.

This makes Steve realize that Wakanda is not what it seems.

This made him think: Is Bucky’s disappearance related to these Wakandans?

Possessing extremely high technical capabilities, but showing weakness in the international arena, this secretive style of behavior made Steve involuntarily think of an organization.

Before Bucky disappeared, he seemed to have been secretly cleaning up the remnants of Hydra. Are these two things related?

Steve didn't know, but he thought it was worth continuing to investigate.

So he secretly found the smuggler Klaue, trying to force him to extract more information about Wakanda.

Klaue is an extremely cunning and treacherous man. He recognized Steve's identity at first sight: the famous superhero, Captain America.

When Captain America pressed him for information about Wakanda, Klaue instinctively came up with a vicious plan to drive the tiger to devour the wolf.

He cunningly linked Hydra to Wakanda, deliberately misleading Steve's suspects, especially when he asked about the Winter Soldier, telling him some half-truths.

Steve pulled out a recent photo of Bucky and asked Claw to identify it.

"He looks very familiar. I've seen a man who looks very similar to him before. He even shot at my team, but that man was wearing a black mask. I'm not sure if it was him..."

"But the man has a silver arm, which is very impressive."

Steve was immediately convinced that the person Klaue was seeing was Bucky.

The photo he provided did not reveal Bucky's steel arm, so if Klaue had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have known about this feature, and Bucky did like to cover his face during his actions.

Now everything is connected, and Steve can be sure that Bucky was captured in Wakanda.

"What happened to him?" Steve pressed on.

"I'm not entirely sure, sir." Crow bared his rotten teeth, half-smiling, "I was busy running for my life at the time, so I didn't see much..."

Seeing that Steve's face looked a little unfriendly, Claude immediately changed the subject.

"However, after that man showed up, I saw another freak." At this point, a look of fear appeared on Crow's face.

His acting was so good that even Steve couldn't see through it.

"What do you see?"

"Black Panther."

"Black Panther?" Steve chewed on the name and found it unfamiliar.

"If you stay in Wakanda long enough, you will have heard of this name. It has been circulated in the local area for thousands of years. It is the patron saint of Wakanda. Legend has it that it is a person blessed by the Leopard God."

Steve instinctively felt that something was wrong. The word "guardian" did not sound like a villain, but his concern for his good friend overshadowed his suspicion.

He quickly skipped over this section and pressed for information about Black Panther, not knowing that this was exactly what Klaue wanted.

"All I know is that Black Panther was born in Wakanda and has had dealings with some secretive organizations."

Hydra, as one of the largest buyers of vibranium, has also been hit by Black Panther. Klaue feels that what he said is not wrong.

But these words took on a different meaning in Steve's mind, as if to confirm that Black Panther was related to Hydra, making Bucky's capture in Wakanda even more credible.

"Since you dare to engage in the business of vibranium smuggling, you must be very familiar with Wakanda."

"Sir, you're joking. I'm just trying to make a living..."

"Don't lie to me!"

Steve grabbed Claw's collar with both hands and easily lifted the nearly 100-kilogram guy into the air.

"OK, OK! I admit, I do know one or two secret routes into Wakanda."

"Entering Wakanda, what are you talking about?" Steve was puzzled. "Aren't we already in Wakanda?"

Klaue laughed heartily. "You don't really think that what you see now is all there is to Wakanda, do you? These are all fake! They're all tricks. The real Wakanda is hidden within a huge illusion, protected by a shield."

"Their true appearance will subvert your imagination!".

Chapter 1008 Everyone has their own agenda

Under Klaue's deliberate guidance, Steve indeed became suspicious of Wakanda, and also had a wrong initial impression of the so-called Black Panther.

At the same time, in order to bypass Wakanda's protective shield and enter its territory, Steve had no choice but to cooperate with Klaue.

As a vibranium smuggler, Klaue naturally has his own ways. Otherwise, how could he get vibranium from the heavily guarded territory of Wakanda?

Moreover, there is one thing that is unknown to outsiders. After his last deal with Hydra was ruined by the Winter Soldier, Klaue's smuggling business not only did not suffer a blow, but ushered in a new wave of development.

Because he has a very influential insider in Wakanda, the mercenary Eric Killmonger who was rescued by the Wakandans.

His bloodline status seems to be quite high, so he has some power within Wakanda and can quietly transport more vibranium out of the country.

Now the supplier of Klaue's vibranium smuggling business has changed from individual orders to centralized supply by Eric. Klaue's business has grown bigger, but he has also become more wary of this mercenary who once worked under him.

Compared to the current guy whom he couldn't see through, Claude felt that the former murderer was more reassuring.

This time he chose to spare no effort to help Captain America. The fundamental reason was that he had some ominous premonitions and wanted to use Captain America's power to disrupt the situation within Wakanda.

He has had enough of the embarrassment of knowing nothing about the internal situation of Wakanda. Perhaps the famous superhero Captain America can help him uncover the mystery of Wakanda and reveal its true face to the public.

Klaue selectively told Eric about Captain America's visit, but he didn't expect that this would also play into Eric's hands.

As a descendant of the royal family, Eric has the right to challenge the throne.

But at this time he faced several difficult problems.

One is that the current king is still T'Chaka. This old king who was once decisive and could ruthlessly kill his own brother for the benefit of Wakanda is now old and frail.

If Eric chose to challenge an old man in his prime, he would not only fail to gain the respect of any citizen, but might instead incur the disgust of all tribes and the contempt of the citizens.

Secondly, the old king’s son T’Challa is the contemporary Black Panther. Although he has not yet inherited the throne, his status as a guardian gives him extremely high personal prestige in Wakanda.

Although Eric could wait until the old king abdicated and the new king had not yet been registered to challenge T'Challa for the throne.

But Eric, who had no real achievements and was basically half an outsider, probably would not get the support of any elders even if he won.

What’s the use of him getting the empty title of king?

Therefore, if he wants to become the de facto king of Wakanda, Eric not only needs to defeat T'Challa's military force, but also needs to have achievements that are enough to impress the elders of the major tribes, at least some of the powerful elders, in order to gain their support.

To do this, he needed a sufficiently dazzling achievement to win the attention of the elders.

Following this line of thought, in fact, the fastest way for Eric to accumulate merit is to accumulate military exploits. He believes that no Wakandan can match him in killing people.

However, although Wakanda has advanced technology, it is willing to hide in its own little corner, and even uses vibranium technology to hide itself.

Under such a cowardly policy, he had no way to carry out his tactics.

Eric just thought it was ridiculous. What’s the difference between this and closing the country to the outside world?

Can we completely prevent external covetousness by isolating ourselves from the world and disguising ourselves as a poor and backward country?
