Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Although Terra was established, the base was not abandoned.

It's still the same place where the first batch of warbands trained.

The logistics personnel, who were already in place on the island, unsurprisingly pulled all the corpses, including Rai Che, onto the transport vehicles and took them away.

They will be taken to the medical department for treatment.

Matthew did not use the healing dandelion, but instead used purely scientific medical methods to treat the condition.

The repair process is also a growth process.

Experience pain, and draw strength from it.

Matthew was about to make a runaway when he received news that the mutant plane had almost been deliberately destroyed.

Someone actually dared to cause trouble during this lull; it was a blatant provocation against Terra and Matthew.

......

airport.

Nova obtained accurate information here; through an inspection of the Boeing aircraft's interior, she learned what was happening in the cockpit at the time.

After connecting with the information center, they coordinated with the captain and first officer's conversation as recorded at the time.

It has been confirmed that the co-pilot is innocent.

So Nova asked the Grey Knight Chiwetel to read the captain's memories.

How could an ordinary person's mental strength compare to that of a formal Grey Knight combat monk like Chiwetel? So he quickly gained access to Chiwetel's memories.

Soon, a crucial clue was obtained from the captain's memories.

This clue points directly to one person.

William Stryker.

When Nova received this information from Chivat, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

“William Stryker?”

She immediately retrieved William Stryker's information from the information department; it was very detailed.

From birth to recently, when the X-Men breached the Alcalín Dam base in Canada, and experimental data was leaked, he almost faced a military court trial.

Fortunately, he was spared trial because he had powerful backers and connections, but fearing further pursuit by Professor X and the X-Men, he eventually went into hiding like a sewer rat.

It's astonishing that an old, outdated person would dare to carry out this incident.

You know, if he actually succeeds in his plan...

The fact that all the mutants on Boeing Technologies crashed and died in the United States could easily trigger a dispute between the United States and Terra.

They might even face legal action from Terra.

In the past, who would have believed that anyone could hold the US government accountable? But times have changed.

In the general perception, the strongest country is probably still the United States, but Terra has long surpassed the concept of a human nation.

Even the United States cannot compete with Terra.

Once Terra chooses to wage war against the United States, everyone believes that it will be the United States, not Terra, that ultimately perishes.

Clearly, this matter is no longer within Nova's control.

This has nothing to do with her current duties.

Nova then reported the information she had gathered from the investigation to her superiors.

For other countries, the involvement of a former U.S. colonel in the military is bound to be a political and diplomatic incident, inevitably leading to negotiations and disputes.

But Terra didn't care about any of that.

Colonel?

Even if God came, he would be dragged to the Terra court for trial.

Soon after, a message was sent from Terra back to the White House Oval Office, and Chivat set off.

.......

That'll be 5,000 words today. I need to organize the outline. These two chapters weren't quite right. I'll make up for it with 15,000 words tomorrow.

Chapter 268 The Most Terrifying Execution in the World (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the United States, this hijacking incident caused a complete shock.

Terra has made it clear that it is demanding the arrest and trial of William Stryker, the mastermind behind the operation, while the United States has a completely different attitude.

As the most domineering men in the world, they will find themselves experiencing the same things that other countries have experienced in the past.

It seems America itself has become poor this time, and Mr. Huang is coming to cause trouble.

This greatly displeased many high-ranking U.S. officials.

They believed it was an act of rebellion against the Heavenly Gang, and they felt they had to reflect on it, even clamoring for change.

No one shall be allowed to be above the great beacon of freedom.

They are the true masters of this world, blah blah blah.

Then the other opposition members would say, "You're right. We have to reflect and we have to change. It's just that they have to accept it now."

Regardless of how things change, we'll discuss whether or not to change them later.

Now they have to accept the facts.

Terra openly dispatched a Grey Knight Battle Monk to America with the explicit intention of arresting William Stryker. Would they dare to stop him?

Even if you try to stop them, will it make a difference?

Therefore, there is no doubt that the US leadership reached a consensus after a brief meeting to fully cooperate.

On the contrary, this incident served as a wake-up call for the top U.S. leadership.

Back when the Manhattan Incident happened, they could still believe that Astartes and Ravens came from a mysterious organization that secretly protected the Earth.

It will not get involved in human affairs.

Now they have to shatter all illusions.

Terra is coming on strong. Although it is currently among the least developed countries in the world in terms of land area, population, and economy, its development potential is obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

Terra is playing on a completely different track than other countries.

How are the warriors of the three major chapters, Astartes, Raven, and Grey Knight, trained?

They are unaware of this yet.

You only need to know one thing: Terra can mass-produce these super soldiers.

Think back to when human pistols and bombs couldn't do any damage to those monsters that seemed like demons, but the Astartes could just take them down with a single axe.

Skye threw a punch that shattered the sky, turning hundreds of thousands of demons into dust.

With combat capabilities of this caliber, can humanity's current armies and technological weapons inflict effective damage on them?

Not to mention there are other methods.

Therefore, conventional methods are no longer useful, and they must also create their own super soldiers capable of competing with the Astartes and the Ravens.

I don't seek to defeat them, but only to contend with them.

As a result, the top-secret super-soldier research program was brought back to the forefront.

Coincidentally, this news came to the attention of William Stryker, the mastermind behind the scenes.

Inside the base office.

William Stryker took the phone and listened to the voice on the other end; his expression became agitated.

"Really?"

“That’s great. They finally realize the need for change. They need me. I’ve studied mutants for decades, and I have a lot of experimental data and information here.”

“I can build them a powerful army.”

"We are the future."

William Stryker has been waiting for this for a long time.

His experiments could never be conducted openly; they had to be carried out in secret, simply because these so-called anti-human experiments could not be made public.

The public wouldn't support that.

Stryker had always scoffed at this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Then the X-Men found an opportunity to plunge him into despair, forcing him to hide here.

The Boeing planes that mutants ride in are his creation.

His intention was to use this method to provoke conflict between the United States and Terra, allowing Terra to overwhelmingly dominate the United States.

Let those high-ranking officials be warned: sir, times have changed, stop clinging to outdated ideas.

The title of strongest has changed hands.

If the higher-ups need to make changes, as exemplified by Astartes and Raven, then the inevitable change in direction will be through Super Soldiers.

Stryker could use this opportunity to regain support.

But just as Stryker was indulging in his daydreams, the person on the other end of the phone poured cold water on his hopes.

“They don’t need you, Stryker.”

The cold words brought Stryker's excitement to a halt; he could hardly believe his ears.

I couldn't believe it, and my face even started to twitch.

"Why?"

Stryker is not stupid; on the contrary, he is exceptionally intelligent, especially in certain areas of thinking, indistinguishable from a politician.

When he heard those words on the other end of the phone, he immediately realized the reason.

But he still didn't believe it.

"You should have thought about it when you did this. You lost the bet. You slapped Terra in the face in this way. So you should be prepared to face Terra's wrath."

"They won't take on Terra's wrath for you; they're not ready to go to war with Terra."

"The price they're willing to pay is you; they won't lose anything by abandoning you."

Every word struck a chord with Stryker, shattering a possibility that Stryker had always refused to consider.

When Stryker decided to make this plan a do-or-die situation, he was burning his bridges.

Stryker couldn't bear the thought of himself being like a sewer rat, forever hiding in this damned place and dying.

This is no different from permanent exile.

He's gambling. Everything has two sides. If he wins, those politicians will cling to him.

Stryker believed he could find many ways to fool Terra if he wanted to.

He could even fake his death and change his appearance.

In Stryker's mind, Terra needs to be used as a warning to others, and whether that chicken is actually him or not is irrelevant.

The art of playing both sides is also art.

The US will at most have to pay a price for this.

However, there is another possibility: being abandoned without mercy.

Clearly, Stryker lost his gamble.

Those cold-blooded people really abandoned him.

Stryker felt a chill run down his spine.

"No, they can't do that, they can't."
