The Vatican, which used to be brightly lit and bustling with people, now has a blackout at night.
Except for the Central Cathedral, all other street lights in the city were out. There were often only two or three dim lights on in the residential buildings along the road. Due to unstable voltage, these lights occasionally flickered, just like ghost lights.
On the dim street, only a large group of soldiers in black combat uniforms were walking back and forth. From the shoulder straps on these soldiers, it could be vaguely seen that they were special agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
When Nick Fury was in power, the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency was nominally a law enforcement organization directly under the International World Security Council, used to deal with various bizarre incidents and super-powered crimes.
In fact, from the name of this organization, it can be seen that its essence is still affiliated with the Federation, but because of the hegemony of the Federal World Police, it is able to enforce the law in the territory of other countries.
In addition to a certain big country in the East, even Russia has to turn a blind eye to SHIELD's law enforcement actions on its own territory.
The so-called international organizations are nothing more than a fig leaf to cover up his law enforcement actions.
No one likes an agent organization that shows off its power in their own country. This is also the reason why governments around the world took advantage of S.H.I.E.L.D. to get out of trouble after the civil strife between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra broke out.
... ... .
However, with the progress of the Earth's interstellarization and the existence of the community of interests of the Forward Base, governments of various countries, especially the giants of the World Security Council, have been forced to strengthen cooperation.
Eating alone
You know, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the world's pattern is changing along with the interstellar gate, and the current rapid development of the aerospace industry is an opportunity.
If the Federation really monopolizes this interstellar window, relying on the advantages of interstellar development, once the Federation gains absolute leadership in technology and economy, what will happen to other countries
If you fall behind, you will be beaten and become like Brother Ni on the African continent today.
Under such circumstances, even though the current international situation is one superpower and many strong countries, a country as strong as the Federation dare not monopolize the interstellar development pie and has to share some of the profits. You know, if pushed to the limit, the other countries will really dare to overturn the table.
Under this kind of multinational cooperation, the World Security Council, a decorative organization like a clay statue of Buddha, has gradually gained some real power. Even its law enforcement agency, S.H.I.E.L.D., has changed from an international organization in name only to a truly international organization, absorbing many agents from other countries and forming a mixed situation.
Of course, the funding of S.H.I.E.L.D. has changed from being borne primarily by the federal government to being shared by all countries.
Of course, there are pros and cons to things. As the power of law enforcement increases worldwide, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rights within the Federation have been restricted accordingly, and it no longer has the dominance it once had.
As soon as the Vatican suffered a terrorist attack, SHIELD rushed to and cordoned off the scene. Their speed was even faster than that of the Italian police, considering that the Vatican is located in Italy.
... ... ..
In the pitch-black Vatican, occasionally a few dull gunshots could be heard from afar.
Several high-powered searchlights on the rooftops of roadside buildings shone bright beams of light directly down. Behind these searchlights, some tall and thin men in black clothes with SHIELD badges on their chests had pale faces and satisfied smiles on their faces. They were searching for the "slippery fish" of the terrorists with great fear!
As they laughed wildly and silently, through their open mouths, you could see their canine teeth under their lips, which were much sharper than those of ordinary people.
These special agents who work directly under the command of Frank, the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., can hardly hide their excitement. Once upon a time, the Vatican, the holy place of the Holy See, was a forbidden area for dark creatures like them.
Not to mention the new generation of vampires in the Americas, even the old antiques in Europe, do you think any clan of vampires would have the courage to set foot in Rome, let alone the holy city of Vatican.
On the streets of Vatican, a large number of armed SHIELD agents were searching the streets for terrorists who attacked the Vatican.
Some of the big armed special agents had faint green light in their eyes in the dark, like fierce beasts hunting at night. Fortunately, they were all wearing night vision goggles, otherwise, if this scene was filmed and posted online, it would probably cause an uproar in the human world.
In the back alley of a church, Adam and seven or eight bodyguards blocked a group of priests who wanted to escape.
A dozen priests and several knights of the Vatican escorted an elderly cardinal and tried to flee the Vatican.
Unfortunately, SHIELD dispatched a large number of armed personnel to seal off the entire Vatican, making it extremely difficult for them to escape quietly.
"This must be an important person. Can we torture him to find out who my father is looking for?" Adam looked at the people who were blocked in the alley and turned to look at the bodyguard behind him.
The black-clad bodyguard took a look at the cardinal who was being protected in the crowd, stared at his face for a few more seconds, silently comparing him but still accepting his identity.
"Boss, he is the fourth-ranking cardinal in the Vatican. He definitely knows where the person the big boss is looking for is."
Adam nodded, raised his chin, stared at the cardinal in the center of the crowd opposite and asked: "Old man, do you know where West is? He is the deputy chief judge of your Inquisition. Tell me where he is and I can let you go!"
"West, you are heretics of the Holy Shield Brotherhood!" After hearing what Adam said, the cardinal's old face, which was as wrinkled as an orange peel, was filled with anger:
"West, this damn heretic, has long been sent to the stake by Lord Michael along with those bastards who blasphemed the Lord!"
"Um?!"
After hearing the cardinal's words, Adam's seemingly honest face suddenly turned cold. He didn't care about Michael or not.
That guy named West was the one his father wanted. If he died, how would he explain to his father
"Dead! He's dead, how come you are still alive!" Adam grinned at the cardinal, his cold eyes like an angry lion.
"You go ahead and protect the bishop!"
A bearded knight in silver armor took the lead, holding a flail, standing in front of many priests, blocking Adam who was walking slowly forward.
The length and shape of the Western flail are similar to the Eastern nunchaku, but one of the short sticks is replaced by a meteor hammer.
The birth of this weapon is like the mace and hammer in ancient East, which are heavy weapons specially used to break armor.
The hammer on one end of the flail usually has a large number of spikes, just like the spikes on the mace, which can cause great damage to the enemy and the enemy's armor.
The flail in the bearded man's hand was a weapon used by a knight of the Vatican during the Crusades in the Middle Ages. Later, it was nurtured by several generations of masters and became a set of sacred armour just like the armor on the bearded man's body.
You should know that in the entire Vatican, there are less than twenty sets of such holy weapons. The chosen knights wearing these holy weapons can exert strength no less than that of a quasi-first-class superhero.
Even the members of the Dark Council, the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan, the tribal chieftains of the Orcs, these high-level dark creatures, did not dare to face more than two Holy Knights at the same time.
This is also the reason why Big Beard dared to stop the enemy alone. The only thing that worried Big Beard was the terrifying warship in the sky.
He needed to end the battle quickly, otherwise once he was locked onto the battleship, the tragic deaths of his colleagues in the secret room below the Central Cathedral would tell him with their lives that even the holy weapons could not withstand the attack of the battleship's cannons.
"call!"
The bearded man swung the flail in his hand, and the meteor hammer at the end of the chain emitted holy light and smashed towards Adam.
Facing the white light coming towards him, Adam waved his hand, and countless white electric currents condensed in his palm, forming a palm that covered the entire alley, and directly grasped the bearded knight and the flail in his hand in his palm.
If Frank were here, he would definitely feel that Adam's hand was very similar to the scene where a certain sinister boss held him in the palm of his hand, except that Boss Tang's palm was formed by lake water, while Adam's palm was formed by the super strong electric current in his body.
Adam naturally learned this technique from Boss Tang. It is a magical power called "Innate Qi Capturing".
When practiced to a deep level, one will have the power to move mountains and change veins.
Adam heard from his father that there was once someone who could use this innate energy to pluck the stars from the sky and play with them as projectiles.
Naturally, he couldn't reach that level, and he couldn't even do what Tang Song had concealed from him, which was to grab a mountain and throw it hundreds of feet into the sky to use as support.
However, with his innate ability, it was no problem for him to capture a small Vatican knight.
The white-hot electric current from King Ghidorah's genes directly shocked the bearded knight, causing him to tremble all over. If he hadn't been wearing the holy armor, Adam's grip alone would have turned him into a pile of charcoal in an instant.
However, even with the protection of the holy armor, the bearded knight was electrocuted and became incontinent. The strong smell of urine made Adam frown.
He swung his huge hand made of white electric current and threw it hard to the ground.
Boom!
A human-shaped indentation was directly smashed into the bluestone road on the ground. Under the huge impact, the bearded knight was staggering, not sure if it was caused by the electric shock or the fall, but blood kept coming out of his mouth.
“Squeak—”
Adam looked at the bearded knight who seemed not to be dead yet. He clenched his right hand and a spear condensed with white lightning appeared out of thin air in his hand. He raised his head and wanted to find out about the bearded knight.
If the spear hits him, the tattered armor on the bearded knight may not be able to protect him.
At this time, the black-clad bodyguard who had been giving Adam advice came to Adam and said, "Boss, wait a minute!"
Adam slowed down his movements, loosened his fingers slightly, and stopped throwing the lightning spear.
He looked at the bodyguard beside him in confusion.
The bodyguard quickly explained: "Boss, this is a Holy Knight of the Church. He might be useful if he is kept. Besides, the Hive Laboratory has always wanted a living specimen who can cultivate holy power and conduct a hedge experiment with the energy of Hell! Why don't we take him back!"
Adam glanced at the bearded knight twitching in the pit and said thoughtfully:
"Since it's useful, let's keep it first. I'll ask Brother Lai En later. If it's useless, throw it to the Hive Laboratory!"
After hearing what Adam said, several bodyguards arrested the bearded knight, stripped off his armor, removed his weapons, handcuffed him with electronic shackles, and asked people to escort him away.
The set of movements can be described as flowing like water.
The bearded knight fought bravely against Adam's thugs, trying to buy time for the cardinal and the priests to evacuate, but unfortunately they were unable to escape.
A dozen men in black stepped on black skateboards equipped with missiles and laser weapons and forced the priests back into the alley.
"Oh my god! It's a dark creature!"
A young priest felt the breath coming from these men in black.
He had seen vampires imprisoned in the dungeon of the Inquisition, and the bloody aura on these men in black was exactly the same as theirs.
Thinking of what the inquisitors of the Inquisition had told him about the horrible and vicious things about these dark creatures, such as sucking blood, playing with souls, and controlling the undead, the young priest collapsed immediately.
"Don't kill me, I know where Chief Judge West is."
Hearing the young priest's words, Adam's eyes suddenly lit up. He swung his right arm and directly pierced through a Vatican knight who was waving a sword and slashing at the young priest.
After the hot electric gun pierced through the body of the Vatican Knight, its residual power remained undiminished. It pierced through four or five black-robed priests in a row like a candied haws, and then took the opportunity to knock down a bluestone wall in the alley before disappearing.
The young priest was shaking with fear.
Adam's figure soon appeared behind him and picked him up like a chicken.
"You know where West is!"
The young priest nodded tremblingly, "I know, I know. The bishop took me there. They are imprisoned in the dungeon of the Inquisition. The bishop and his men want to find out the secret funds that Chief Inquisitor West and his men have..."
"Bah, Bach, you traitor, you will go to hell after you die!" A white-robed priest spat at the young priest angrily.
Others also cursed at this traitor who betrayed the Vatican.
The young priest's face turned red as he was scolded. Veins popped out on his face, and he completely forgot about being afraid and started to scold them directly:
"You bunch of dead gay old men, copper smelters, do you really think anyone would want to sleep with you, especially you, Cardinal Norris? Pah, just thinking about your rough bark-like hands touching me makes me sick, sick!
Go to heaven, if God is really omnipotent, how could the Pope be arrested? Let God die!"
Adam held the young priest's collar, listened to the telegram he was saying, blinked, and turned to look at the black-clad bodyguard behind him:
"What the hell is he talking about Gilead and copper fetish? I see he's furious—"
The bodyguards in black looked at each other and kept their mouths shut. If they dared to teach Adam bad things, Boss Ryan and Boss Kane would definitely not let them off. At the very least, they would be sent to a Siberian training camp to dig potatoes.
"Or, boss, let's rescue Mr. West as well. Boss Ryan is still waiting there, and the SHIELD people can't keep him under lock and key for too long!"
A bodyguard in black looked at Adam's curious eyes and quickly changed the subject.
Adam thought about it and agreed. He put the young priest on the ground and ordered him to take them to the prison of the Inquisition.
... ... ... ..
A sparking space gate appeared at the North Pole, inside the glacier of Base Zero.
Tang Song stepped out of the space gate. As he slammed the cane in his hand to the ground, a strong electromagnetic current instantly swept across the entire Base Zero, shutting down all electrical equipment in the base.
Including monitoring, and elevators leading to the interior of the glacier,
The scientific research experts and guards who were conducting observations inside the glacier were stunned by Tang Song the moment he appeared.
This was the second time Tang Song had seen this Titan frozen in a giant iceberg.
This Titan monster looks like a terrifying three-headed dragon covered with golden scales.
It was trapped in the glacier with its wings folded. The width of its body must have exceeded 200 meters. If its wings were spread, it would definitely be at least 500 meters.
The Yamata-no-Orochi is big enough, but it is not as oppressive as the frozen Titan in front of it. Moreover, unlike the simple wildness of the Yamata-no-Orochi, this horrifying creature in front of it, just from its appearance, has a hint of evil that cannot be ignored.
It doesn't seem like an ancient god, but more like a demon that challenges the gods.
Three slender snake-like necks extended from its body. Like its body, the necks of the giant beast were also covered with scales dotted with gold. At the top of the three necks were three hideous and huge heads.
The head was like the dragon in Eastern mythology, with nostrils like a horse, eyes like a lion, and sharp dragon horns extending from each head. However, the dragon horns were not as majestic as rumored. Instead, they looked like the horns of a devil.
This gave the giant beast an aura of brutality and gloom.
Its three heads were frozen in different positions above its body. From the platform where Tang Song was, he could just see its entire outline reflected in the unclear ice.
Strictly speaking, King Ghidorah cannot be considered a Titan, but rather a star beast that drifted to Earth from outer space.
The biggest difference between Star Beast and Titan Beast is that Star Beast does not need to rely on the living environment on the surface of the planet, just like this King Ghidorah does not need to rely on the earth's oxygen to survive.
At this time, Tang Song was in need of a means of transportation, and the one in front of them was of suitable length and size.
Tang Song raised his staff and pressed it on the ice. The power of his soul instantly outlined the golden hoop magic restriction of the Beastmaster Sect. The power of the immortal sect's restriction and the mind gem merged together, and golden light enveloped the entire glacier.
The golden light shrank and turned into three golden hoops shining with golden light and were worn on Ghidorah's head. As the runes on the golden hoops flashed, the three golden hoops directly penetrated into Ghidorah's dragon head.
"wake up!"
Tang Song tapped the iceberg with his walking stick, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the hundreds-meter-high iceberg. Inside the glacier, six golden vertical children opened their eyes at the same time.
Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!
As the sound of an iceberg breaking was heard, three dragon roars were heard on the Antarctic ice field.
The members of the Imperial Organization had just started the backup power supply and restarted the surveillance when they watched in horror as the huge iceberg cracked. The ancient Titan spread his wings, broke through the ice, and instantly flew above the clouds, soaring in the sky!
The sound of dragon roars continued, and the flapping of its wings brought about storms!
... ... ..
Under the deep sea, a terrifying figure is swimming.
It is nearly 200 meters long and looks like an ancient dinosaur.
Every time it waves its short arms and huge tail, tens of millions of tons of sea water are moved. Wherever it goes, waves similar to ocean currents are easily formed.
Its body is covered with blue scales.
In the dim light of the deep sea, the scales shine with a metallic luster.
While wandering, it seemed to hear the roar of King Ghidorah in the distance. It poked its head out of the water and looked in the direction of the South Pole.
At the same time, there was also a roar in response!
"hold head high!"
... ... ... ...
"When you're crazy enough, hit the road!"
Tang Song stood on the golden dragon head in the middle of King Ghidorah and said indifferently!
Ghidorah pounced towards the distant glacier, and a strong wind came down from above. As Ghidorah pounced, the entire ice surface shook violently, and icebergs were directly cracked apart.
The three heads of King Ghidorah rushed to look at Tang Song flatteringly.
The addition of the magical golden hoop restriction and the power of the Mind Gem is more than just one plus one. It is enough to control King Ghidorah tightly.
Tang Song waved his cane, and a space gate with a diameter of hundreds of meters opened amid sparks. Opposite the space gate was a dark starry sky.
