Chapter 397 Hunting Ground Gadget
MODOK, whose nickname is MODOK and real name is Darren Cross, actually has a connection with Tang Group. Out of covetousness for Pym Particles, Tang Song had semi-forcibly invited Professor Hank Pym to join Tang Group's side.
In return for manufacturing Pym Particles for Tang Group and conducting research in quantum mechanics, Tang Song helped Professor Hank Pym rescue his wife, who was trapped in the Quantum Realm.
He also hired their daughter at a high salary to be the supervisor of Tang Group's quantum research department, firmly tying these two top experts in quantum mechanics to Tang Group.
Darren Cross was Hank Pym's student and a major shareholder of Pym Company. By chance, he discovered his teacher's research and wanted to develop it into military weapons for high-priced sale.
However, he clearly underestimated his teacher's stubbornness. Facing his student's relentless pressure, Hank Pym chose to disappear until he was found by Tang Group and forced to join.
Strictly speaking, Darren Cross and Tang Song were the same type of people. Their actions were almost identical, both involving cunning acquisition and forceful seizure. It's just that Darren Cross didn't have as big a fist as Tang Song, and he didn't grasp the key point of the matter. He didn't know what Hank Pym truly wanted. Compared to money, Hank Pym's many years of persistence were simply aimed at rescuing his wife from the Quantum Realm.
What was worse, in Tang Song's eyes, Darren Cross's value was far less important than Hank Pym's. When faced with Tang Group's aggressive acquisition of his company, Darren Cross also failed to see the situation clearly, eagerly trying to resist with the incomplete Wasp armor he had. As a result, the experiment failed, and he became lost in the Quantum Realm.
It wasn't until a year ago, when the High Evolutionary was perfecting his genetic evolution experiment, that he accidentally received Darren Cross's distress signal and rescued him from the Quantum Realm.
However, due to the influence of the Quantum Realm, Darren Cross's body underwent some subtle changes. His head swelled to six or seven times the size of a normal person's, while his limbs and body atrophied into mere accessories.
This also caused a drastic change in Darren Cross's personality. He renamed himself MODOK to signify a farewell to his former self.
On a desolate Mining Planet, a Fortress Ship, nearly half the size of the planet itself, was moored in its Low Earth Orbit.
The Spaceship hatch door slid back into the Spaceship with a clatter. As the hatch opened, a large head encased in golden armor sat on a golden chair and floated out of the Spaceship. MODOK hovered above the red Planet, looking down at it, and let out bursts of cackling laughter.
As he waved his short Right Hand, the massive Castle Spaceship directly separated into dozens of Spaceship modules. The huge Ship Cabin modules, thousands of meters long and wide, sprayed blue energy flames and flew towards various directions across the Planet.
Clang!
Despite the assistance of thrusters, the landing of the massive module Ship Cabins still produced a huge sound, kicking up dust and shaking the sand and gravel. Watching the module Ship Cabins land one by one, MODOK pressed the switch in his hand amidst his cackling laughter.
Clang, clang, clang, clang—
The huge alloy steel plates forming the rectangular boxes instantly spread out like blooming flower petals, revealing the bizarre Orcs and Modified Humans inside.
There were Flesh Giants with bare, strong bodies, standing five or six meters tall, their entire bodies covered in grotesque muscle mass. There were Mutated Humans with spider bodies and human heads.
There were also some humanoid organisms, some exposing chests covered in dense hair of various types, others covered in scales of different colors, or various carapaces, their muscles bulging.
Some Ship Cabins even contained primitive beasts. These four-legged beasts, after escaping their cages, stood upright on the plain of yellow sand and roared towards the sky.
MODOK hovered at high altitude, watching coldly as the mutated creatures spread out from the module Ship Cabins like a dark tide.
These mutated creatures were the products of the High Evolutionary's failed genetic evolution experiments. They were bloodthirsty and brutal. Most of these defective products were destroyed at the end of the experiments; those that remained were the outstanding ones.
Although these defective products did not meet the High Evolutionary's expectations, they were powerful enforcers.
"This Planet is finished!"
A strange smile appeared on MODOK's face. Was there anything more exciting than witnessing a planet's destruction before his eyes? Of course, if this Planet were replaced by Earth, that would be truly exhilarating! Hundreds of giants, five or six meters tall, their bodies covered in red muscles twisted like rebar, roared and ran across the yellow sand plain. A small team of battle vehicles, hearing the commotion and coming to investigate the situation, hadn't even stopped when a giant leaped up and stomped its huge foot onto the roof of their hovercar. Where it landed, the immense mass instantly crushed the two hovercars into steel plates.
The surviving refugees were startled by the sudden appearance of the giant and quickly pulled out firearms, shooting at the muscle giant. The energy beams fired from the small-caliber old-fashioned energy pistols landed on the muscle giant's body, instantly leaving charred holes on him. However, in the desperate eyes of the refugees, the flesh and blood near the muscle giant's wounds wriggled, and within a few breaths, the damage caused by the energy pistols was eliminated. The refugees' counterattack, however, completely enraged the muscle giant. He grabbed a magnetic levitation shuttle with his large hand and smashed it fiercely towards another one.
In a deserted Mine, Shadow Storm's wrist computer assistant projected a virtual projection overhead view in front of him.
Before making an emergency landing on this Planet, Shadow Storm had already launched two small surveillance satellites into the Planet's orbit. The two satellites, smaller than a desktop, clearly captured the entire Planet from above.
Even the blood-red muscle lines on the muscle giant holding the magnetic levitation shuttle on the ground were clearly visible.
There were humanoid organisms with eight sharp feet like war spears, standing seven or eight meters tall, with human heads and spider bodies. There were Alligator People covered in thick scales, whose physiques could tear apart tigers and leopards. There were packs of Hunting Dogs whose mouths could split open to the back of the head, filled with fangs. There were giant sand scorpions that could burrow into the ground, as large as trucks on Earth. All these scenes were clearly captured by the surveillance satellites. However, facing these powerful creatures, Shadow Storm's gaze remained as calm as a Lake Surface, without a single ripple.
After marking all the monster-filled Ship Cabin Container modules released by MODOK, Shadow Storm reached into the beast hide pouch at his waist and took out several black canisters engraved with Hive architecture, handing them to the two Dark Iron Blood waiting nearby.
The two Dark Iron Blood carefully held the canisters, nodded to Shadow Storm, and immediately activated the Stealth Mode / Cloaking on their Predator armor, disappearing into the Mine.
Shadow Storm watched the Castle Spaceship captured by the surveillance satellite with an ice-cold gaze. Having hunted for thousands of years, Shadow Storm knew very well that the identity of prey and hunter was not immutable. When facing powerful prey, one must be prepared to be hunted oneself at any time.
This High Evolutionary thinks he is the Hunter. Now let's see who is truly the prey.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz—
Just as Shadow Storm was staring at the Castle Spaceship, his wrist computer assistant suddenly emitted a rapid alert sound.
Shadow Storm connected the communication, and Lane's full-body virtual projection was projected in front of him by the intelligent computer assistant.
