Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Chapter 116 Obelisk, Terrigen Crystal (Seeking monthly votes)

boom!

A dazzling orange beam of energy pierced the darkness, blasting apart the person in front of him with black pupils and wearing tattered clothes.

Or rather, he didn't seem like a human being, but more like a dried-up corpse that hadn't eaten for a long time.

"Shit, what is this thing?"

In the pitch-black tunnel, Skye, holding a glow stick, peeked out from behind Roseco, raised the glow stick, and was startled to see the desiccated corpse lying on the ground with its head blown off.

"They must have been people who accidentally wandered in from elsewhere and had their minds controlled."

"Judging from their clothing, they might be homeless."

Roseco could guess the identity of the person from the clothing on the corpse.

Besides this, we encountered several other attacks along the way.

However, there aren't many.

This is the only fate for ordinary people who accidentally enter this place. Actually, being controlled in terms of consciousness is not so bad; once they are taken out and no longer affected, they can recover.

But these people are in very poor health.

He was a complete walking corpse, already a dead body.

Soon they will turn into the skeletons we encountered before.

But after she finished speaking, Roseco realized that she had misunderstood something. She looked at Gene and said, "This place is too big, Gene. Even with spectral scanning and positioning, it will take a long time to find those places that are marked as potential destinations."

"That's right, it will probably take several days from the time we record the pattern."

Gene nodded.

This mission itself involves a search; the BOSS said their destination is somewhere in there, but the exact location is unknown.

They need to search for it themselves.

Actually, he and Roseco should have split up to search, which would have sped up the search, but they didn't know exactly what the place looked like.

So they brought Skye, the Inhuman, along to see if she could resonate with them and find their destination.

It seems unlikely now.

"Since that won't work, let's send Skye back first, and the two of us will come down to search?"

“No, I think there might be a faster way.” Rose thought for a moment, then looked at Skye and smiled.

Skye looked bewildered, pointed to herself, and looked at me as if to say, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Gene, open the box and let Skye hold the obelisk."

Gene didn't hesitate and opened the metal box, inside which was a long, irregularly shaped piece of metal.

It's small; you can hold it in one hand.

Although Skye didn't understand why, she obediently took the obelisk from the metal box.

She knew about this before she came.

It is said to be the key that can activate her physical powers, the so-called Terrigen Crystal, which will petrify and kill an ordinary person if they get their hands on it.

Only someone with superhuman genes like her could handle it without any problems.

"Wait, I need to go find a friend."

Roseko nodded, and her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Um, what is Roseco going to do?"

“She’s found a way for us to find our destination quickly.” Gene immediately understood Roseco’s idea and explained to Skye, “These people have had their consciousness manipulated here and have become guardians protecting this place.”

"The purpose of this place is to activate superhumans."

"With the Terrigen Crystal in your possession, you should gain the Guardian's approval."

Skye immediately understood.

Soon, Roseco grabbed a person controlled by the dungeon. This person was no different from a dried-up corpse and was aggressive. However, no matter how much the person struggled, it was useless once Roseco grabbed him.

However, when Skye mustered her courage and walked up to the mummified corpse, holding an obelisk in one hand and a glow stick in the other, the struggling corpse instantly fell silent.

His dark pupils stared at Skye.

"take me."

Skye spoke to the mummified corpse in a commanding tone.

Roseco released her grip and stepped aside, and the mummified corpse turned and walked towards the other side.

“It’s simple, isn’t it?” Roseco shrugged at Gene.

Then she followed, with Skye close behind.

With the guards leading the way, the three of them soon arrived at a tunnel, but the mummified corpse remained motionless when they stood in the center.

"Why isn't he leaving?"

Skye raised her glow stick; it seemed the mummified corpse had led them into a dead end.

"No, we should have arrived, Skye."

Roseco patted Skye on the shoulder and pointed to the end of the tunnel. Skye immediately understood and walked over, with the two following behind.

They soon stopped in front of a huge wall.

With a harsh, heavy sound.

The wall in front of them started up and slowly turned open, revealing two passages, from which light emanated from the stone chambers inside.

"Go in."

The three of them went inside.

What comes into view is a not-so-large circular stone chamber, with a simple, ancient circular stone pillar base in the center, illuminated by a beam of light that reaches waist-high.

There is a fitting groove on the base of the stone pillar.

“Skye.” Roseco looked at Skye.

The latter swallowed hard, nodded, and walked over. As she approached the stone pillar, she noticed a crimson light emanating from the metal obelisk she was holding.

Then, surprisingly, it resonated with the stone pillar. Accompanied by a strange sound, the obelisk detached from Skye's hand, flew towards the stone pillar, and landed in the groove, slowly fitting together.

Not only that, the open stone wall behind them suddenly closed.

Roseco and Gene exchanged a quick glance. With just one look from Roseco, Gene understood immediately. He stepped forward with his right foot and disappeared from the stone chamber without hesitation.

Only Roseco remained.

"Rosco." Skye turned around at the sound, her expression growing increasingly uneasy.

But Roseco gave her a firm and encouraging look and comforted her, "Don't worry, Skye, I'll stay here with you."

"Thank you."

With Roseco's encouragement, Skye was completely free of worries and turned to look at the stone pillar that was also rotating.

As she and Roseco watched, the obelisk on the stone pillar slowly cracked open, revealing a piece of crystal.

The crystal grows and blossoms into a radial cluster, with multiple facets exploding outwards, resembling a blue metallic lotus flower, brightest at the center and gradually darkening outwards.

The moment it fully bloomed, an invisible current suddenly surged in all directions, the impact even knocking Skye, who was closest to it, back a step.

Roseco remained unmoved, while the magical runes on the surface of her red overcoat emitted a dazzling gold glow.

It blocked the impact of this airflow.

This made Roseco narrow her eyes; she could clearly sense that this airflow contained many invisible, tiny particles with strange powers.

It can be quickly integrated into the body.

According to Matthew, an ordinary person who is touched will inevitably be petrified.

Of course, this does not include Roseco.

The main reason is that her physique, or rather her level of life, is too high. Even if these things are integrated into her body, they will not only not change her genes, but will instead be destroyed by her own genes.

Who is the main focus, and who are they paired with?

.......

I'm asking for some monthly votes, folks! I suddenly realized something: I forgot there's only one obelisk in S.H.I.E.L.D., it's not in the dungeons. I've quickly corrected it.

Chapter 117 World Destroyer - Quake Girl Returns (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Roseco ignored herself and looked at Skye instead.

Skye is panicking.

She looked at Roseco with unease as she found herself beginning to turn to stone.

“Have you forgotten? Skye, this is the normal procedure. Don’t be afraid, it will be over soon.” Roseco comforted the anxious girl again.

Skye, however, no longer had the chance to answer.

She was completely petrified.

“I hope you’re right, Matthew.” Roseco’s expression was grave. Although Matthew had said it before, no one knew exactly how dangerous this transformation process was.

A few seconds passed.

Skye's petrified exterior began to peel off. The process was slow, but it subtly unleashed an unimaginable power.

Roseco's expression changed.

She felt it, felt the faint, pulsating power emanating from Skye's body, which began to spread and affect the entire stone chamber, and even beyond.

hum!

The tremors grew stronger, and stones fell off Skye's face, from her eyes to her cheeks.

Finally, seemingly instinctively, he opened his arms.

boom! !

A surging shockwave erupted, like a volcanic eruption, uncontrollably shattering the surface layer of rock and sending it flying in all directions.

Roseco stretched out her hand to block in front of her.

A dazzling golden magical barrier enveloped her entire body, blocking the surging debris and the shockwave.

Under the force of this shock, large clumps of dust fell from the top of the stone chamber.

"Skye!!"

boom!!

Another loud bang, this time from Gene. He noticed the sound and the vibration, and without hesitation, he smashed the wall to pieces with a single punch.

His imposing figure strode in, his gaze sweeping warily across the room.

"it's over?"

“No, she’s losing control, Skye, calm down.” Roseco walked up to Skye, ignoring the tremor emanating from her, and looked into Skye’s eyes, gently comforting her.

"Yeah, calm down, I need to calm down."

With Roseco and Gene in front of her, Skye felt more confident. She took a deep breath and quickly suppressed the loss of control of her abilities caused by her emotional turmoil.

The vibrations disappeared.

The stone chamber began to quiet down.

“Great job, congratulations Skye, you’ve gained an amazing ability.” Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Roseco gave Skye a thumbs up and said with a smile.
