"I hate you S.H.I.E.L.D. bastards the most."
Sloan grinned hideously. Besides Coulson, all the other Agents let out painful screams as their brains were devoured by the worms.
Immediately after, Sloan ordered Coulson and the other puppets to rush towards Dr. Reed and Stone Man.
Dr. Reed's expression changed. He quickly extended his arms to tie up the puppets, then he loudly asked Coulson, "Coulson, what's going on?"
Coulson didn't answer. Under Sloan's control, he opened his mouth and spat out a worm onto Dr. Reed's palm. Sloan was ecstatic, thinking he would soon have a Super Hero puppet.
But to Sloan's disappointment, the black worm failed to drill into Dr. Reed's body. Dr. Reed backhanded it, killing it.
Seeing this, Sloan controlled the puppets to break free and pounce on Dr. Reed and Stone Man.
Stone Man wanted to use brute force to send the puppets flying. At this moment, Sloan shouted, "They are all living people. They can return to normal as long as the worms are removed. If they are killed by you, it means you are a murderer."
Such words would be useless to villains, but they had a miraculous effect on good people like Dr. Reed and Stone Man. The two immediately became hesitant, not daring to harm these puppets.
Under these circumstances, the puppets surrounded Dr. Reed and Stone Man. Immediately after, a large number of worms poured out of the mouths of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on the ground, crawling densely over Dr. Reed and Stone Man's bodies.
What if their bodies were sturdy? Humans were not sealed. The worms could enter Dr. Reed and Stone Man's bodies from many places, such as their eyes, noses, mouths, and ears.
Seeing so many worms, Stone Man's expression changed drastically. He ignored the puppets, forcefully throwing them away. Then, he vigorously slapped his body, killing the worms, but there were too many worms, and some places he couldn't reach.
Dr. Reed couldn't get rid of the surrounding puppets and could only control his body to deform to block the worms. Just at this critical moment, a burst of flames rushed into the bar. It was Human Torch who had arrived—in the past few days, he had learned to fly using flames.
Human Torch saw the situation inside the bar and immediately threw two fireballs onto Dr. Reed and Stone Man. With two bangs, all the worms on their bodies were burned to death. However, both of them also turned into 'black men.'
"Watch me burn them all to death."
Human Torch shouted, preparing to burn the puppets to death. Dr. Reed quickly shouted, "They are just being controlled. Deal with that Assassin. He is the mastermind."
Human Torch immediately focused his gaze on Sloan. Sloan retreated to Fire Fox and the others, sneering, "If I die, all the puppets will die with me."
This statement was half a lie. If Sloan died, the puppets would not die, but he could control the worms to gnaw at their brains before he died, dragging the surrounding puppets down with him.
"Ah?"
Human Torch was stunned, somewhat unsure what to do. Although he thought highly of himself, tonight was his first time being a Super Hero.
"You burn the worms, I'll catch him."
Dr. Reed's arms stretched out, reaching for Sloan. Unfortunately, his hands were caught by the puppets halfway, preventing him from moving forward.
Immediately after, Fire Fox and the others smashed a large amount of liquor on the ground and walls. Human Torch was shocked and quickly extinguished the flames on his body—the Fantastic Three would not be burned to death, but those puppets would.
"Super Heroes!"
Sloan snorted coldly, controlling the puppets to relentlessly entangle the Fantastic Three, while he himself, along with Fire Fox and the others and a large number of worms, escaped from the bar.
Then, Sloan quickly controlled the surrounding people with the newly bred worms, and then used the surrounding people to breed more worms, continuously expanding his puppet army.
In just over ten minutes, Sloan had controlled hundreds of puppets. At the same time, his worms were increasing, spreading wildly around.
Although there had been warnings before, many people in Brooklyn still hadn't fled, and many couldn't escape due to traffic jams. They all became targets for the worms.
"What's an unexpected surprise? This is an unexpected surprise."
Andrew watched the whole process. He originally thought the main event would be on Mystique's side, but he didn't expect Sloan to give him such a big surprise. This wave would yield many souls.
After thinking for a moment, Andrew sent the recorded video to Editor-in-Chief Jameson. Jameson was overjoyed to receive the mysterious person's video and immediately told Melinda to start reporting.
Melinda, seeing the video content, couldn't help but gasp and immediately began reporting. She didn't do much else, because she knew very well that her Chief George must be watching the Kuaidou live broadcast.
"People irradiated by the Cosmic Storm will gain Abilities, such as Dr. Reed and his team. But unfortunately, a villain also gained an Ability, and it's a very terrifying one.
Sloan, the leader of the Assassin Brotherhood, can create worms. People parasitized by these worms will become his puppets. What's even more terrifying is that the worms can devour brains and reproduce more worms.
Currently, a certain street in Brooklyn has completely become his territory. Please evacuate the surrounding citizens as soon as possible.
Additionally, Sloan's Ability has two characteristics: first, as long as the worms are removed, the puppets will return to normal; second, if he dies, all the puppets will also die."
"Such an Ability exists?"
The surrounding citizens couldn't help but curse. This Ability was too disgusting. Some citizens who were still at home immediately started to flee, but by then it was a bit late. There were puppets and worms everywhere.
"Ordinary police really can't keep up with the times. The New York Police Department needs Ability users."
Chief George looked at the controlled police and civilians on the screen, smashing the table in anger. He made a decision in his heart: Mr. Wang's suggestion was very correct, New York needed Super Hero vigilantes.
"Harvest time."
Andrew activated an illusion to pull the citizens in. Then, robots descended from the sky and began to rescue people. As for those who didn't sign the contract, it wasn't a big problem, because they would become puppets, and then they could be harvested a second time.
Nick Fury's expression was very grim after watching Melinda's report. He picked up his communicator and personally contacted Tony and the others: "Gentlemen, a huge problem has arisen."
"What exactly are you S.H.I.E.L.D. doing? Why wasn't such a terrifying Ability discovered earlier?"
Tony finished reading the data and couldn't help but curse, "We must catch that Sloan as soon as possible and make him release control over the worms, otherwise many people will suffer."
"Sloan's blood didn't show any abnormalities. For us, Abilities are too unfamiliar."
Nick Fury explained, then asked, "Barton, can you snipe Sloan from a distance and knock him out? Once he's unconscious, those puppets should stop."
"No, he's hiding in a building. I can't see him."
Barton shook his head. Tony flew into the sky and shouted, "Barton, you go help Dr. Banner fight Abomination. I'll go deal with that Sloan."
"Okay."
Barton immediately rushed to support Dr. Banner. Tony activated his thrusters and flew rapidly towards the building where Sloan was located.
At the same time, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, and Invisible Woman Susan were also rushing towards the building.
Spider-Woman said, "Susan, you don't have to come. It's very dangerous. You could easily become a puppet."
"I want to go in invisibly and knock out that Sloan."
Susan said, "As long as he's knocked out, this matter can be resolved. You don't have to worry about me. If it really doesn't work, I can call for help."
Gwen was surprised: "Call for help?"
Susan said with a happy and proud expression, "Mhm, if I'm in danger, my boyfriend will definitely come to save me. Once he makes a move, no matter who the enemy is, they're dead."
Skye, who was directing from behind, complained, "Gwen, why does what she says sound so much like you?"
"It seems she also has a powerful boyfriend."
Gwen didn't think there was any problem and rushed at full speed with Susan.
