This Kryptonian is Too Steady

"Give it to him."

Receiving a signal from Pierce, Rumlow put the silver-white safe in his hand on the table, and opened it after verifying the fingerprints and pupils.

Twelve sides of the same length formed six faces, and the six faces formed a crystal clear cube, with a faint blue light emitting from inside, illuminating Rumlow's face with brilliance.

With the image of the blue cube reflected in his eyes, the fanaticism on Dr. Radcliffe's face could not be concealed. He couldn't wait to put on a pair of special exoskeleton gloves, took it out of the safe, held it in the palm of his hand, carefully After scrutinizing it, he couldn't help but murmured, "Is this the imitation of the Rubik's Cube?"

"That's right, this is the only finished product imitated after thousands of failures using the debris 'scraped' from the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. I call it the Cosmic Cube.

Although it does not have the infinite energy of the Rubik's Cube, in some respects it is much more magical than the Rubik's Cube. "

Pierce's pride was beyond words. He walked over and patted Dr. Radcliffe's shoulder, who was still distracted: "It's so beautiful, isn't it?"

Of course, the Cosmic Cube was not created by a man like Pierce who only knows how to play tricks, but was imitated by Baron Strack, Dr. Hall and Dr. Zola, which lasted more than ten years and collaborated with hundreds of scientific researchers.

After becoming the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Pierce discovered that the Rubik's Cube was the greatest treasure of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This thing not only made the Red Skull flock to it during World War II, but also inspired Howard Stark to invent an energy device that could almost change the world.

An event that happened during his tenure completely refreshed his worldview.

In 1995, a monster named Carol Danvers returned to Earth and teamed up with Nick Fury to repel an alien invasion.

According to the video captured by the spy satellite in outer space, this monster pierced through a group of interstellar warships with only its flesh in the end, frightening an interstellar mothership with a length of tens of kilometers and fleeing in a panic.

After checking the top secrets kept in the S.H.I.E.L.D. database with his authority as director, Pierce discovered that this monster was also created by the Rubik's Cube.

During the former director's time, S.H.I.E.L.D. once cooperated with the U.S. military and jointly launched a secret program called "Pegasus Project".

The specific content of the plan is a bit of a fantasy. They want to use the Rubik's Cube to develop an engine that can support faster-than-light travel.

And this woman named Carol Danvers was the pilot of the test aircraft in this plan, and later disappeared in an accident and was judged to be 'dead'.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened, Pierce knew that Carol's changes must be related to the Rubik's Cube, which also gave him the hope of fighting against those super mutants and various superpowers.

Therefore, under his leadership, Hydra secretly invested hundreds of billions of dollars worth of resources in experiments and research on the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and finally harvested the fruit last year, successfully manufacturing a highly similar imitation, and more Easy to use.

When he came back to his senses, seeing that Pierce had already taken off only a pair of underpants and was lying in the particle injector, Dr. Radcliffe quickly put the Cosmic Cube in his hand into a spherical device connected with a transparent catheter.

After running to the operation panel next to him to set the parameters, Dr. Radcliffe stretched out his fingers and tremblingly pressed the red start button on the instrument.

'Om...'

Affected by unknown energy, the Cosmic Cube turned into a mass of faint blue superfluid (Note 1), pulled by an invisible force, and poured into the particle injector along the transparent tubes on both sides.

Under the action of the particle injector, the blue superfluid was dissociated into a cloud of mist-like particles,

Accompanied by strong light, it spread in the cabin.

………………

after one night.

'Crack. '

With a crisp sound, Pierce walked out naked.

Touching his extremely smooth skin, he looked at Rumlow who was guarding him and said, "Give me a mirror, or something that allows me to see myself."

"Yes."

Seeing Pierce's appearance, Rumlow couldn't hide his shock.

But he also wisely didn't say much, silently took out his mobile phone, switched it to the front camera mode, and handed it to his leader.

Moisturized and smooth skin, golden and flowing hair, strong and muscular muscles, and a familiar face.

Pierce was certain that this was himself forty years ago.

"Director, how do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Awakened by the noise, Dr. Radcliffe hurriedly ran to Pierce. After seeing his appearance clearly, his whole body trembled with excitement.

"I feel better than ever."

After closing his eyes and carefully observing this energetic body for a while, a morbid smile appeared on Pierce's face, and with a gesture of his hand, the clothes not far away seemed to be lifted by a pair of invisible hands, and they automatically flew to him. forward.

Rubbing his palms together, Dr. Radcliffe couldn't wait to say: "Director, can you let us conduct a comprehensive examination of your body to determine your current specific condition."

The old fox Pierce couldn't see what he was thinking, so he refused decisively without even thinking about it: "My own body knows it, so don't bother."

He didn't want his body to be fiddled with by these scientific lunatics, who knew what bad consequences would result.

"Director, the distinguished guests from the Security Council are arriving soon."

Raising his hand to check the time, Rumlow also made an assist, reminding him in a low voice.

"Let's go and meet our four old friends."

A sneer crept across Pierce's face.

………………

"How was the flight?"

Leading the four members of the World Security Council to the interior of the Tricurved Wing Building, Pierce has already disguised himself as before.

"It's nice, but not so good on the way from the airport."

A half-aged woman with blond hair in a blue formal suit complained.

"It's a pity that S.H.I.E.L.D. can't control everything, including Captain America."

In order to prevent accidents, Pierce has already put all the road sections near the Tricurved Wing Building under martial law.

Taking a black box from the guard, with a hypocritical smile on his face, he introduced: "The identity authentication of the building relies on biometrics, and only this badge can allow you to travel here unimpeded."

As members of the Security Council, these people never thought that Pierce would mess with this kind of thing.

Only the woman in blue, no, it should be said Natasha who knew Pierce's true face, had doubts about this thing.

But in order not to expose herself, she had no choice but to wear this badge on her chest reluctantly.

Note 1: A superfluid is a state of matter characterized by a complete lack of viscosity. If a superfluid is placed in a ring-shaped container, it can flow endlessly because there is no friction. It can pass through microtubules with zero resistance, and can even automatically "drip" upwards from the bowl to escape, which is a very miraculous phenomenon.
