Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 59: ?Brotherhood of the Aegis, the Horrible Ape

Views:

Holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, the ancient Egyptian pharaoh...

Hearing this, a light flashed in Luke's head.

He finally knew why the name "Imhotep" sounded familiar to him.

This ancient Egyptian was not only the most accomplished pharaoh of the Third Dynasty, he was revered by later generations as the "God of Medicine and Wisdom" and was worshiped forever.

His true identity is a superhero from ancient times.

Although he doesn't have any superpowers and relies solely on his physical body to fight, he is ridiculously strong.

Forcibly leading a group of Egyptian natives armed with spears and shields to defeat alien creatures whose biotechnology has surpassed that of the earth for who knows how many years.

He is an "ordinary person" who can punch a mammoth and kick a saber-toothed tiger.

It can be called a "horrible erect ape" in human form. It can press alien creatures to the ground and rub them with its two hands.

Apocalypse, who later claimed to be the "ancestor of mutants", was Imhotep's student and fought side by side with him.

At that time, Apocalypse was killing alien Zerg while cheering for his teacher. He didn't have the aura of a big boss in the future.

"It's really long enough..."

Luke secretly lamented that he did not expect that the biological modification technology behind the Aryan superman made in Berlin actually came from that ancient era.

But if I think about it carefully, I can't find any problems.

Later, the secret organization Aegis Brotherhood, founded by various historical celebrities, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Newton, Tesla, Galileo, etc., adopted the eagle logo, which came from the shield held by Imhotep.

As for the later S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and Leviathan, the three are actually of the same origin, with more or less traces of the Brotherhood of the Aegis, but they just go in different directions.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the Third Reich, which inherited part of the Hydra legacy, to obtain the biological modification technology of the "Bruder Zerg".

"At the beginning, the Germans did not know that the ancient document contained cutting-edge technology for modifying the human body. The research on it was more out of academic curiosity, but when someone deciphered the content of the first chapter, Everything has changed."

Stephanie didn't know that Luke had already surmised the whole incident. She adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and continued: "The Germans realized that they had discovered a treasure! They had discovered a weapon that opened the door to the new human world. Key - So, the Holy General in charge of all this reported the news to the Führer, and the entire 'Aryan Superman' plan began to operate. "

"Three departments were established separately. The first one is based on the contents of the literature to produce a catalyst for transforming the human body, which is the 'Blood of Woden'. The second one is responsible for screening receptors and finding suitable transformation targets. The third one is also the current scale The largest organization dedicated to transforming the human body and mass-producing those monsters.”

"And this is not the worst. The Holy General only translated one-fifth of that ancient document. In other words, in addition to the 'tank level' and 'battleship level', more powerful Aryan supermen may appear in the future. ”

After Stephanie finished speaking, the Prime Minister fell silent.

A more powerful Aryan superman

"Aircraft carrier level"

Luke, who kept quiet, blinked. He was thinking about what level he was considered to be in the later stages of development

"Nuclear bomb level"

"Space Battleship Class"

"Star Destroyer Class"

"Two-way foil grade"

As for the threat of the Aryan Superman, to be honest, he didn't take it seriously.

It’s not that you are too inflated or blindly confident. If you calm down a little and think about it with your head, you can guess that these low-profile “supermen” who have been modified by human bodies must have some unknown huge flaws.

Otherwise, the "Brud Zerg" would have ruled the world as early as the ancient Egyptian period, and there would be no need to wait until the Third Reich to inherit this technology.

"Stephanie, tell me, are those supermen capable of growth? Why hasn't the Third Reich implemented mass production yet?"

The Prime Minister is worthy of being a veteran politician with flexible skills. He quickly found out several key issues from the female spy's words.

"Currently, mass production is an impossible task. Research shows that the 'Blood of Woden' as a catalyst will only take effect on about one in five thousand subjects and start the transformation process."

Stephanie saw the Prime Minister who wanted to reach out and touch him, and quickly stopped him: "For others, it is a fatal contact poison."

"In that ancient document, there was a method for identifying targets, but the Holy General couldn't decipher it, so he came up with another cruel plan."

"First test the catalyst on thousands of prisoners, as well as those Jews and Soviet prisoners. Then we will extract blood from the survivors and conduct special tests."

"Then, use the identified blood on a large scale to mark those potential targets - that is, soldiers who are similar to the survivors and meet the requirements of the 'Blood of Woden', and recruit them into the team."

"In the end, as long as all those soldiers are listed as targets for using catalysts, one of them will always pass - that's how the hundreds of 'tank-class' and three 'battleship-class' came about."

After hearing this, the Prime Minister couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Stephanie destroyed a production plant, and the "Blood of Woden" needed to be cultivated, coupled with the low success rate of creating Aryan supermen.

This series of reasons made it difficult for the Axis powers to complete their final plan to push their troops across Europe in a short period of time, and gave the Allies a chance to breathe.

"Brigadier General Cavell, what do you think?"

The Prime Minister put out the half-smoked cigar and looked at Luke expectantly.

Stephanie put the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers on the same starting line again and had the capital to participate in this game.

But this does not mean that the balance of victory begins to tilt towards the Allies.

This war sweeping the world has, in a sense, become a competition and attrition between cutting-edge combat forces.

Ordinary soldiers were reduced to cannon fodder, and even tanks and bombers were unable to completely influence the changes in the situation.

Luke is the only Superman the Alliance has.

Moreover, the combat power he demonstrated has exceeded the "tank level" of the Third Reich.

Whether it is in terms of strategic position or personal ability, there is no doubt about this young brigadier general.

"I think the most important thing at this stage is to convene the Strategic Science Corps to study the ingredients of the 'Blood of Woden' and cultivate it. And, select qualified soldiers as recipients."

Luke's thinking was clear. He looked at the red crystal in the glass vessel and said solemnly: "We can use the red crystal brought back by Ms. Stephanie as a reagent to draw blood from the soldiers who were conscripted into the army."

"As long as the blood reacts with the red crystal, it can be selected as a receptor and try the subsequent transformation plan."

The idea proposed by Luke made both the Prime Minister and Stephanie's eyes light up.

This is actually not a difficult problem, but just after listening to all this, I can immediately find implementable solutions from the huge amount of information.

This requires keen insight and reaction speed!

"I will tell the Allied Forces Command to recall the Strategic Science Corps as soon as possible - led by you. Brigadier General Cavell, as the savior of the Allied Forces, you are more than suitable!"

The Prime Minister is well versed in the techniques of gaining favor and winning over people, and he quietly sent Luke to this position of real power.

The resources and status enjoyed by the Axis powers that the Strategic Science Corps wants to fight must be at the top level.

Being able to sit in a leadership position is indeed very helpful for future development.

"It's an honor to be able to contribute a little more to the Allied Forces."

Luke said with sincerity.

"My greatest wish is world peace! Any careerist who tries to stir up strife is my enemy!"

The Prime Minister laughed twice, held Luke's right hand firmly, and said emotionally: "What a fate. My biggest ideal in life is world peace."

"I can tell at a glance that the Prime Minister is also a pacifist with the world at heart."

Luke curled his lips subtly.

The most famous Prime Minister of the British Empire was later nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

But ironically, the Italian dictator Mussolini, who was captured by Luke, and the Berlin Führer were both nominated for this award.

Therefore, those award judges can always redefine the word "peace". (End of chapter)
