Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Instead, the Grey Knights opened the gates of Sokovia city at various locations.

That night, in the most swift and decisive way, the entire Sokovia was completely transformed.

Sokovia is approximately 110 kilometers from east to west and 93 kilometers from north to south.

The total population is around 200 million, with the capital Novigrad having 110 million people, along with three sub-cities: Velica, Zagora, and Morava, and some surrounding towns with scattered populations.

This blitzkrieg was a complete rout.

Because this war was so unequal, it was like using a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito.

Sokovia's publicly acknowledged military strength totaled 17000 men.

On the contrary, their equipment was quite good, and of course, there were also resistance fighters.

Because both sides were involved in arms smuggling, their domestic economic development lagged behind, while they possessed advanced and complete weaponry.

Unfortunately, due to information asymmetry and a mismatch in combat power levels, there was only one result: in less than an hour, the entire Sokovia was completely taken over.

Before the Sokovian government forces knew what was happening, a group of Astartes wearing heavy powered armor descended upon them.

When they saw that the gunshots hadn't even scratched the paint off the power armor shell, and then saw a group of monsters who could easily lift their tanks up with one hand and throw them away, their eyes widened in astonishment.

What else is there to say? Let's surrender.

The same applies to the rebels.

While the rebel leader Zara was hiding in a temporary base in the mountains, planning the next war against the Sokovian government forces.

Several raven warriors emerged out of thin air from the sparking circle.

He had just drawn his gun when the other person appeared in front of him as if by teleportation and grabbed his neck. He knew he was doomed.

Thirty thousand ordinary armed soldiers entered the capital, Novigrad, while the remaining thirty thousand entered three secondary cities.

The entire process is coordinated by Astartes, Ravens, and Grey Knights.

The takeover of the entire territory of Sokovia was completed in just one hour.

Not only that, but they also launched a targeted crackdown and eradicate of all the gangs that existed in Sokovia in an instant.

The incessant gunfire left the people of Sokovia, who were still asleep, unaware of what was happening.

However, what Rachel, Natasha, and the others were trying to eliminate was neither the government forces nor the rebels.

Three more battle groups were dispatched to purge the Hydra agents who had hidden themselves throughout the territory.

Both battle groups awakened their dual-color Haki. With the help of their Observation Haki, they were able to find all the Hydra bases hidden in churches, underground, and mountains.

The defensive system built by Baron Strucker was utterly insignificant in the face of the three warbands.

The most terrifying thing is that Reicher also deliberately cut off the city's signals to the outside world.

Once a base is found, the electromagnetic jammer, which the technology department had long ago developed, will be activated, causing widespread interference and cutting off all circuits and signals.

So much so that Baron Strucker had no idea what had happened, or even that the businesses he had painstakingly built over decades had been completely destroyed.

.......

In a secluded base in the mountains northwest of Sokovia, snow was still falling, and the sound of wind and snow could be heard incessantly under the dark night sky.

High-powered spotlights swept back and forth from the watchtowers inside and outside the base as guards, fully armed, surveyed their surroundings.

Inside this castle-like base.

A man wearing a black coat and a sweater underneath, with a monocle over his right eye, was in the corridor, looking through a special one-way glass at a girl sitting quietly on a metal bed.

The girl was very young, around seventeen or eighteen years old, with long, dark brown hair.

She had pale but delicate features and a thin body.

"what happened?"

Strucker was furious. These twins were his prized test subjects, and he never expected that his superior would tell him that the younger twin was having an abnormal reaction.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, ten minutes ago, a very faint energy reaction suddenly erupted from her body."

"We tested her, but the results were negative."

The supervisor was helpless.

"A faint energy reaction?"

Baron Strucker's expression changed; it wasn't worry, but excitement.

He turned to look at his supervisor, staring intently at him: "No warning signs?"

"Without warning, and very faintly, a Rubik's Cube toy that was originally in her hand disappeared. According to the surveillance footage, it vanished into thin air."

The supervisor picked up the tablet and placed it in front of Baron Strucker, then opened the frozen video.

The video shows the girl in the room. She was lying on the metal bed with her eyes closed. In the pitch-black environment, she suddenly jolted and opened her eyes.

Immediately, a distinct scarlet energy could be seen surging on the outer layer of her body, rippling across it.

A toy Rubik's Cube on her bedside table was covered up and suddenly disappeared. The girl sat up abruptly, her expression terrified.

"That's amazing. As expected, there is a powerful force hidden within her that we don't understand."

"This energy can actually make an object disappear into thin air. Is it a spatial ability? Or can it break an object down into its atomic state?" Baron Strucker became even more excited, speculating to himself.

"Call someone, call someone immediately! Change her to another room and conduct a thorough search of the room. I need to know..."

However, he hadn't finished speaking.

A deafening roar echoed through the air, and the entire base trembled violently in an instant.

Baron Strucker, the supervisor, and the girl in the room all looked up abruptly, instinctively wanting to see what had happened.

Chapter 207 Was that a cannonball? No, it was a person (Seeking monthly votes)

Outside the castle base, the sentries are diligently and conscientiously fulfilling their duties.

They didn't even notice the heavy snow falling on them.

I originally thought today would be no different from any other day.

However, a piercing whistling sound came.

The wind and snow could not drown out the sound.

The sentries looked up alertly in the direction of the sound, but saw nothing but darkness.

But the sound kept getting louder and louder.

And it's getting closer and closer.

Meteorite? Artillery shell?

That's... a person?

The sentries' faces suddenly contorted with terror. Then, one by one, figures plummeted from the sky, tearing through the snowy curtain of night, crashing down onto the castle walls and the streets.

This includes the defensive positions built outside the castle, and the bunkers.

It crashed right next to them.

Terrifying roars and explosions echoed outside the castle, followed by mournful and desperate screams that quickly faded away.

The sentries had no idea what was happening, but all their attention was focused on what was in front of them.

The people who had descended from the sky were all burly, nearly two meters tall, and clad in dark blue powered armor they had never seen before. Their eyes, glowing with a scarlet light beneath their helmets, were like the gaze of demons.

No, they'd seen them before, the Hydra soldiers remembered in the chaos.

They had seen him before, but only on television, and unfortunately, it was too late to recognize him.

The Hydra Sentinels tried to raise their guns to fight back, but as soon as they raised their hands, their necks were grabbed and they were lifted up.

They heard a piercing sound of bones breaking, and a sharp pain shot through their brains, causing them to lose consciousness completely.

After the problem was solved, figures in deep blue and red moved through the castle like lightning, remaining within its walls.

A lightning-fast attack and massacre ensued.

Many soldiers who fell from the sky crashed through the castle's floors and plunged into the castle's underground laboratory.

One of the female warriors, dressed in simple yet exquisite and tight-fitting black armor, quickly formed hand seals after standing up.

Immediately afterward, all the Hydra people inside the castle heard a sound like a mirror shattering, and then their vision blurred. The environment remained unchanged. They were all stunned for a moment, and then instinctively ran away.

They even considered picking up weapons to be on guard.

However, they did not see any enemies. Not only that, but the experimental subjects who were originally imprisoned in the laboratory had also disappeared.

They didn't know what was happening, including Baron Strucker.

Hydra's soldier commanders assembled their forces, trying to find the enemy and the experimental subjects, but they found nothing but Baron Strucker and the director of the experimental base.

In the real world...

The Hydra and the experimental personnel in the castle had disappeared. Many Astartes, Raven Warriors, and other troops and logistics personnel who arrived later entered the castle and took over its management.

In one of the underground rooms.

The young boy with short, gray-blonde hair shouted nervously.

"Wanda, Wanda, are you alright?"

Wanda woke up after she acted strangely tonight and attracted a lot of people.

However, to everyone's surprise, the ground inside the base shook violently very quickly, and then the noise suddenly stopped.

The silence was eerie to him.

He was very worried about his twin sister.

Thankfully, I could hear my sister Wanda's voice coming from next door.

"I'm fine, Pietro."

"Thank God." Pietro breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately tensed up again because he heard very heavy footsteps.

The footsteps were completely different from those of the guys I'd heard before.

It was so heavy, like the sound of some kind of metal boots hitting the floor, very deep and resonant.

His heart jumped into his throat.

He immediately pressed his face against the iron gate, trying to hear something, but to his surprise, the heavy sound stopped in front of the iron gate of his room.

Pietro couldn't help but take two steps back, his thin face filled with tension.

The sound disappeared, but Pietro could almost hear heavy breathing from the other side of the iron gate.

Who could it be? Will he kill me and Wanda?

Pietro couldn't help but let his mind wander.

The next moment, with a "bang", a metal gauntlet hand punched through the iron door. Pietro's pupils widened slightly when he saw this. Before he could speak, the hand suddenly gripped the iron door and exerted force.

Then, with another loud "bang," the iron gate was actually ripped open.

Pietro stared blankly as the monster, nearly two meters tall and wearing an unprecedentedly dark blue, heavy powered armor, walked in.

It walked up to him and looked down at him.

A silver skull was embedded in the center of the helmet's forehead, below which were a pair of eyes that gleamed with a scarlet light.

Pietro will never forget this moment.

I can't forget that person raising his hand and taking off his helmet, revealing a resolute face—a typical Caucasian face—and speaking English.

"Kid, your name is Pietro Django Maximov?"

"Yes, yes, sir." Pietro happened to understand English.

Because their father, Oleg, sold American sitcom DVDs, the whole family watched them together and learned English, with the goal of immigrating to the United States in the future.

"Come out, my leader wants to see you, and your sister too."

"leader?"
