Gideon Malick was indeed a ruthless character who could forcibly order the release of missiles during the Battle of New York, and his power was truly astonishing.
In just one night and morning, Samuel's few conditions were basically fulfilled.
The private prison in Madripoor had not yet begun construction, but the relevant inspection personnel had completed the procedures and signed a deep cooperation agreement with White Queen, representing Void Express, which could take effect at any time!
After Hale negotiated terms with General Ross and informed him of Samuel Sterns's address, she received calls for promotions and raises one after another.
"I, I'm going to be a General now? Become one of HYDRA's leaders?"
Hale felt as if she were in a dream, somewhat disbelieving.
Becoming a General or becoming one of HYDRA's leaders was not an easy task. It was something she had served HYDRA for half her life for and had not obtained.
Following Samuel, there was no need for tests, no need for a pledge of allegiance... In a situation where she had done nothing, she obtained it in just a few days.
This contrast was too dreamlike!
Beyond disbelief, loyalty to serve him to the death also arose in Hale's heart, and she began to regard herself as Samuel's subordinate.
Her psychological transformation was quite normal. She had been loyal to HYDRA for so long, sacrificed so much, only to find out in the end that her belief was wrong, her sacrifices were meaningless, and she was even abandoned.
Samuel was like a beam of light illuminating the darkness, giving Hale hope for the future again!
"Are you ready?"
In the Malick family mansion, in front of the glass cover containing the teleportation monolith, Samuel looked at the fully armed Stephanie Malick.
Stephanie Malick, wearing thick protective clothing and carrying the equipment that might be needed, nodded to her Father on the side, and then followed Samuel into the glass cover.
"Whoosh--"
The teleportation monolith instantly turned into a liquid, engulfing the two of them.
Mavis.
The harsh climate environment scared Stephanie Malick, who was leaving Earth for the first time, before she even had time to get excited.
Although she was mentally prepared, only by seeing it with her own eyes and experiencing it firsthand did she know how terrifying such a scene was.
Stephanie Malick looked at Samuel helplessly. Here, HYDRA, the Malick family, power, everything was useless.
The only way she could leave now was with Samuel!
Samuel pointed in a direction, and Stephanie Malick followed closely behind him, walking silently, stepping awkwardly.
There was nothing to say about the surrounding scenery. Stephanie Malick, whose emotions had stabilized, looked at it for a while and was no longer so curious.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the wind and sand gradually lessened a lot, and signs of human life began to appear around.
The Rocket ship from Project Far Star!
Stephanie Malick's eyes instantly lit up, and she excitedly ran towards the direction of the wreckage.
Samuel strolled along unhurriedly, while simultaneously releasing his Mind Manipulation Ability to lock onto Hive underground.
The corner of his mouth curved slightly, and his Mind Power activated.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, Hive, who was resting in the underground space, felt his body tremble violently.
"Ding!"
"Detected combat, dropped reward: Cellular Parasitism (Hive)"
Samuel pouted. This was one of Hive's core abilities, allowing him to leave his original host at any time and enter a new host body, gaining the host's memories.
Because Hive's true form is a parasite, as long as he has enough hosts, he can live forever and become increasingly stronger!
He was a bit like a weakened version of the Mutant Apocalypse.
Apocalypse also achieved eternal life by constantly changing bodies.
However, Apocalypse could gain the other party's Mutant abilities when changing bodies, while Hive could only gain the other party's memories when changing bodies. Therefore, he mastered the abilities of ordinary humans such as multiple languages, combat skills, and technology.
Moreover, putting aside the strength of this ability, just the act of parasitism and changing bodies is unacceptable, and there is no need to do so!
So, this is a useless ability that will never have a chance to be used!
"Again!"
'Watching' the bewildered Hive in the underground space, Samuel waited for a moment and then launched another Mind Power attack.
"Buzz!"
Hive trembled again.
"Ding!"
"Detected combat, dropped reward: Parasite Projection and Feedback (Hive)"
This ability is not bad. The projected parasites can gnaw on the target and complete Self-healing by gnawing on the target.
Even if the bones are blown away, they can recover. When the gnawing reaches a certain level, even a nuclear bomb is not feared.
In the TV series, Hive could project a large number of parasites from his entire body, directly devouring all life around him.
And he could also use the projected parasites for defense!
"Huh? It looks like there's an underground entrance there?"
Stephanie Malick, who was observing her surroundings, discovered the entrance to the underground space not far away, and with glowing eyes, ran up to Samuel.
"You say, will there be anyone inside?"
Samuel said indifferently, "Go down and see, then you'll know."
Stephanie Malick nodded, cautiously took out a gun, and walked over.
"Click!"
The lid opened, and Stephanie Malick carefully peeked inside.
It was a bit dark inside, with a straight ladder going up and down next to it. Various signs indicated that it was very likely that people lived or had lived here.
"I'll go down first." Stephanie Malick had no intention of letting Samuel be the point man, said a sentence, turned around and prepared to go down the ladder.
As she gradually descended and slowly disappeared into the darkness, Samuel snapped his fingers silently!
"Pop!"
The Mirror Space appeared silently and without a trace in front of Hive, who was staring intently at Stephanie Malick in the corner of the underground space.
"Whoosh—"
The Mirror Space attacked Hive. Before Hive could react to what was happening, he was knocked into the dimension space.
"Who!"
Hive in the Mirror Space questioned in surprise, but received no response.
"Ding!"
"Detected combat, dropped reward: Persuasion (Hive)"
Finally, the most desired ability was dropped. Although this ability is called Persuasion, it actually allows Inhumans to unconditionally obey his commands and work for him without affecting their own thoughts and will.
This kind of persuasion is absolute persuasion. Betrayal or being awakened by others is impossible.
Furthermore, the persuaded Inhumans will immediately learn how to control their abilities!
However, nothing is absolute!
There is a saying, whether accurate or not, that every Inhuman is created with their own mission. For example, Hive's mission is to control the Inhuman army.
There is an Inhuman called Lash, whose mission is to find successfully transformed Inhumans and judge whether those who have mutated are qualified to live.
One of his abilities is to forcibly awaken Inhumans who have been persuaded by Hive.
