79. You don't want the merit of following the dragon, but who do you think you are after achiev

At Lister's command, the castle's researchers rose from their seats to begin the data destruction and evacuation procedures.

Lister strode quickly to the control panel where the Mind Scepter was located, looked at the Mind Scepter inserted into the panel, took a deep breath, and pulled it out.

next second.

Liszt, clutching the Scepter of the Mind, led his guards deeper into the castle.

As the Mind Scepter was pulled out, the yellow energy dome that had enveloped the castle also closed.

moment.

Ethan snapped out of his gluttony.

"Um?"

"That's it?"

Ethan was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and suddenly chuckled.

"Goodness."

"So stingy?"

"Chirp!"

Even the black phoenix, which was faintly visible in the black sun of his energy world, couldn't help but let out a phoenix cry in response to his words.

Without him.

Just like Ethan, the Black Phoenix Force was enjoying its meal when suddenly it was suddenly unable to eat anymore.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

It feels like when you're greedily eating, and the delicious food placed in front of you is suddenly snatched away without warning.

The power of the phoenix is ​​the embodiment of the power of life and spirit.

The Mind Stone's power also affects the mind, so for the Phoenix Force, the Mind Stone's energy is also a rare treat.

"Find it."

"Eat it!"

The phantom of the black phoenix, faintly visible in the dark sun of the energy world, flapped its wings. The two emotions that had been trying to convey to Ethan at all times—"violence" and "destruction"—had now transformed into the emotions of "eat!" and "eat it quickly!"

Ethan received the signal, and his heart stirred. He stared at the black phoenix phantom that had rendered his great sun into its current black form.

"If you want it, you can submit to me."

"Chirp!"

A black phoenix, appearing and disappearing in the darkness, let out an angry cry.

The Black Phoenix power residing in his energy world was the energy he absorbed from Qin during their time together, an energy that attempted to corrupt Qin and transform her from a fire phoenix into a black phoenix.

and so……

Although the power of the Black Phoenix could not corrupt him in his energy world, it was still very difficult for him to use this power.

The reason why those mutant clones with life essence were able to use the power of the Black Phoenix was simply because the life essence of those mutant clones was also needed by the Black Phoenix.

So Ethan can be used, but nothing else.

Ethan sensed the Black Phoenix's yearning for the Mind Stone and suddenly felt an opportunity to subdue this Black Phoenix power that resided in his energy world but could not be effectively used by him.

"Submit to me, and I will give you what you want."

"Chirp!"

In the darkness, the Black Phoenix, appearing and disappearing intermittently, still constantly trying to eliminate Ethan's energy core, once again let out an angry cry.

"You don't want to?"

"Never mind then."

"You don't want the merit of following the dragon, but who do you think you are after you've achieved fame and success?"

"When I finally solidify the energy world and make it a true universe of my own, you'll be sent to guard the gates of the abyss."

Seeing this, Ethan didn't press the matter, after all, a forced relationship is never happy.

Repair progress: 90%!

He withdrew from the energy world, sensed the progress of the repair on his body, and then grinned as he looked at the Hydra castle on the mountaintop, which had remained completely still after the energy barrier was removed, as if it were a deathly silence.

next second.

The moment Ethan slightly bent his knees, a crimson energy shield instantly enveloped him, transforming into a red cannonball that roared directly toward the castle.

"boom!"

"Thump!"

"what!"

A stone wall next to a Hydra agent who was rushing toward the safe house suddenly shattered, accompanied by a scream.

Instead of taking the usual route, Ethan broke through the wall and grabbed the Hydra agent who had just bumped into him with his right hand. After scanning the area, he swung his right hand and threw the Hydra agent into the group of Hydra agents who were retreating not far away.

"Merrick!"

"I'm here, damn it!"

"Get out here and see me!"

"Bang!"

The crimson energy surged from the body of the Hydra agent who had just been infused with an explosive burst of energy by Ethan the moment he was thrown into the crowd of Hydra agents.

With a violent explosion, the Hydra agents instantly turned into a bloody mist and severed limbs that fell from the sky.

"Screw it!"

"He's coming in."

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Ding ding ding!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the Hydra agents in the castle disregarded Lister's warning not to send any more energy to Ethan and instinctively raised their weapons, pulling the trigger in Ethan's direction.

Because at this moment, only the instant the trigger is pulled will bring them a sense of security.

Unfortunately, that was just an illusion.

Ethan strode up to a Hydra agent with a ferocious expression who was rapidly pulling the trigger at him, shouting "Die, monster!"

next second.

He stretched out his right hand, piercing straight through the Hydra agent's chest, then grabbed his heart and ripped it out.

The Hydra agent's ferocious expression froze instantly. Feeling a sharp pain in his chest, he involuntarily looked down at his own chest, which had a large hole in it.

By the time he realized what was happening and tried to retrieve his heart from Ethan, Ethan had already moved on to another Hydra agent without even glancing at him.

It's the same method.

Do it the same way!

When the remaining Hydra agents saw Ethan perform open-chest surgery with his bare hands, their minds went cold and they panicked completely. They dropped their guns and turned to run in any possible escape direction.

They were completely flustered at this moment, but one thing was clear.

That is……

They can run anywhere, as long as they can escape Ethan's sight.

and also!

"It's better to die than to die, fellow Daoists. I don't need to be the fastest, I just need to be faster than everyone else."

"Bang!"

"what!"

"Fuck, Jack..."

"Feel sorry."

A Hydra agent named Jack, who was running behind his colleague, shot and shattered the knee of the colleague who was walking ahead. Then, as he passed by his colleague who was lying on the ground, he turned around, apologized to him, and then fled the scene without looking back.

This is not an isolated incident.

After all, they're Hydra, the villains. Expecting them to fight side by side is impossible; when disaster strikes, they'll scatter and flee—that's their basic tactic.

but……

Hydra panicked, but Ethan remained calm.

soon.

Among the fleeing Hydra agents, he spotted a figure whose back looked remarkably like Dr. Merrick, who was being escorted by several Hydra agents as they fled in one direction.
