The only player in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 324 Where did this come from? Is this still Marvel?

The two Pietros chatted back and forth, making Du Mu, who was watching from behind the screen, quite amused.

Sure enough, it's always fun when the same person clashes with you.

He will definitely need to visit more dungeons and cross different servers in the future, and he will inevitably run into acquaintances from different versions.

If he added all the different versions of his acquaintances to his friend list and then pulled them all into the same group, the scene would be interesting just to imagine.

But these are all just for fun.

The real power of chat groups is that they enable cross-disciplinary communication.

There is a barrier between the two servers, so Du Mu is currently unable to freely transport living people between them.

Even spatial artifacts like the Devouring Sac will forcibly awaken the life forms inside during the journey and then directly expel them.

As for Max, he is Du Mu's Pokémon, and his true form is a bunch of electricity, so he is no longer considered a normal human.

Therefore, it is very difficult for people on different servers to communicate, unless Du Mu personally acts as a messenger, running back and forth between the two worlds to relay messages.

But that would be both troublesome and time-consuming, and extremely inefficient.

But it's different now.

With chat groups, this barrier simply disappears.

Du Mu could easily bring Hankla from the X-Men universe into the group and have him serve as a remote technical advisor to Hydra's research department.

Although Du Mu had already provided Hank with the best research team, the researchers of that era were limited by their knowledge level and could not keep up with Hank's progress at all. They could only assist him, and the real core research was basically carried out by Hank alone.

Now that Hydra's top researchers are working with him, Hank's research progress has immediately accelerated.

Speaking of research, the development of compound 5 has entered the initial stage of direction confirmation.

If this project succeeds, ordinary people will have a certain probability of activating their X gene and thus transforming into mutants.

But this leads to a thorny problem.

That means the awakening of mutant abilities is entirely based on luck, and the randomness is too great.

Despite the impressive and cool abilities of Charles and his group, a small number of mutants who awaken their powers find their abilities completely useless.

For example, there are hermaphrodites who can freely switch their mouths and anuses, make their heads pointy, and so on. In short, their mutation abilities are more and more bizarre than the last.

Many mutants undergo significant physical changes after awakening, and even aliens look more human-like than them, making them stand out in crowds and find it difficult to integrate into society.

In addition, some mutants simply cannot control their abilities, harming not only others but also themselves.

These mutants loathe their abilities and only want to be normal, ordinary people.

Therefore, even if compound 5 is successfully developed, how to deal with these uncontrollable awakening results will be an unavoidable problem.

Based on this, research into eliminating the X gene has also been put on the agenda.

Of course, this type of research carries significant risks for mutant populations.

Once leaked, it can easily be exploited by malicious individuals, so confidentiality must be ensured.

Everyone involved in this project first had to undergo Charles's psychological screening, and then there was the double protection left by Du Mu to prevent the secrets from being leaked.

"Agent Du Mu, this is your Level 9 Agent Badge. From this moment on, you are officially granted Level 9 privileges by S.H.I.E.L.D."

In the director's office, Hill handed Du Mu an eagle-shaped badge.

A Level 9 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a very prestigious title.

Within the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. system, you can count the number of people who have level nine privileges on two hands.

Even Coulson, a long-time employee of S.H.I.E.L.D., who worked his way up from the bottom to management, has lost all his hair and is still only a Level 8 agent.

Just by looking at this comparison, you can see how significant the level nine permissions are.

However, no one could find fault with Du Mu achieving this level.

From street-level arrest operations to large-scale crises involving alien invasion, every mission under his name has been a success, maintaining an astonishing 100% mission completion rate to this day.

There is no other record like this in the entire history of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In addition, Du Mu's strength is ridiculously strong. He can even suppress the Hulk in his berserk state. In terms of combat power alone, he is undoubtedly the number one. All the agents tied together would not be enough to defeat him alone.

Most importantly, Du Mu was extremely loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Other superheroes either keep their distance from S.H.I.E.L.D. or simply don't bother with them, and their cooperation always seems somewhat reluctant.

Du Mu was clearly capable enough to break away from the system and work independently, yet he was still willing to stay within the system and accept assignments. This attitude is truly rare.

However, what Hill didn't know was that the core positions of S.H.I.E.L.D., from the decision-making level to the execution level, were almost entirely held by Hydra agents.

This is all thanks to Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who led the few remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to join Hydra.

Right now, Hill is probably the only pure S.H.I.E.L.D. agent left in the entire organization.

In other words, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. is now under the control of Hydra, and since Du Mu is in charge of Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally falls under Du Mu's control as well.

Isn't it normal for a boss to be loyal to his own company?

Du Mu took the badge and said, "Director Hill, from now on, except for missions that are particularly difficult, you don't need to tell me about other missions. Just hand them over to Skye in my team, and she will complete the missions for me."

Hill frowned. "But Skye only just got here a short time ago. Is it alright to leave her in her care?"

She was used to Du Mu's efficiency; any task he sent out was guaranteed to be completed. Now that a newcomer had suddenly taken over, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Du Mu waved his hand: "It's alright, I've outsourced a superhero team to assist Skye, it's not a big problem."

Hill:

'

This is an official S.H.I.E.L.D. mission, how could it be outsourced?

After Du Mu's repeated insistence, Hill finally nodded.

There was nothing he could do; Du Mu was the top salesman, and his performance speaks for itself, so they had to give him some face.

Then, Du Mu called Sky over and asked her to take on the task for him.

NPC Skye has accepted a new quest for you.

[Mission: Steal Intelligence]

[Objective: Proceed to the designated location and obtain target information]

[Reward: 500 Experience Points, 1 Random Item]

perfect!

Du Mu nodded in satisfaction.

This way, he can completely free his hands and hand over the daily tasks of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Team X, without having to worry about wasting rewards because he doesn't have time to take on missions.

He suddenly remembered something, took out a cylindrical metal device, and handed it to Skye.

"Find a safe place to use this thing."

Skye took it, looking puzzled. "What's this?"

Du Mu explained, "The Terrigen Crystal device, after absorbing the substances inside, has a certain chance of awakening superpowers."

He knew Skye was an Inhuman, and he specifically asked for it from the Inhumans.

"Superpowers!?"

Skye immediately perked up, her eyes lighting up: "You mean, I can have superpowers too?"

Since joining S.H.I.E.L.D., she has handled countless superpower-related cases and has long coveted superpowers.

Du Mu nodded: "Yes, but be careful when using it, there can't be anyone else nearby."

"7

Why?

"Because if a human comes into contact with the energy of Terrigen crystals, there is a high probability that they will die immediately."

Skye was so startled that her hand trembled, almost dropping the device. "Wouldn't it be very dangerous for me to use this?"

Du Mu comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, only humans get into trouble, and you're not human."

97

Skye: "???"

Why did you suddenly start swearing?

Du Mu realized he hadn't expressed himself quite correctly and corrected himself: "What I meant was, you are not human."

What's the difference?

Skye's lips twitched: "I'm not human, so what, am I supposed to be an alien?"

"almost."

Du Mu stated bluntly, "Your race is actually the Otherworldly race, but a long time ago the entire race moved to another planet. You are their descendant on Earth."

Skye expressed disbelief.

She had lived her entire life as a human being, and now she was suddenly told that she wasn't human. No one would believe that.

Du Mu didn't explain much, but simply told her to take the Terrigen Crystal back and try it.

The next day, Du Mu met Skye again.

"I've really awakened superpowers!"

"Congratulations! Only 50% of Inhumans have the chance to awaken superpowers. Looks like you're in luck."

Du Mu then asked, "What abilities do you possess?"

Skye thought for a moment, her tone slightly uncertain: "It seems to be controlling vibration."

Sure enough, the ability was exactly the same as described in the system evaluation.

Du Mu was not surprised by this.

There is considerable room for improvement in the ability to control vibration.

On a large scale, it can trigger earthquakes and tsunamis; on a smaller scale, it can cause localized floods. Its applications are very wide.

Skye paused for a moment, then asked, "So, I really am that... Inhuman?"

Du Mu gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, Terrigen Crystal is only effective against Inhumans; humans who come into contact with it will die."

Skye took a deep breath and reluctantly accepted the fact that she was not human.

She pressed on, "Then how did you know I was an Inhuman?"

"Just a guess."

'

""

Skye's face darkened.

Can you really guess something like this?

If she guesses wrong, wouldn't she be finished?

After Skye awakened her abilities, the overall strength of Team X increased even further.

Even for more challenging tasks, they are capable of handling them all, so Du Mu doesn't need to do everything himself.

After entrusting Skye with the daily tasks of S.H.I.E.L.D., Du Mu stopped paying attention to those affairs and began to study the beast power within his body.

With the voluntary gift of the Black Sky, this power has been completely absorbed by Du Mu and transformed into his own power.

Du Mu found a secluded spot and tentatively activated the beastly power within his body.

The next moment, a surge of black energy erupted from his body, thick as ink, rolling and flowing along his skin, blurring his facial features until only a faint outline of his face remained.

Looking at his appearance, Du Mu sighed helplessly: "How did I end up going further and further down the path of villainous roles? I'm supposed to be a positive character!"

However, despite its appearance, the power it wields is indeed very strong.

Completely different from the holy power of illumination, the power of beasts has obvious corrosive properties. Whether it is physical matter or energy, it will be constantly corroded by this black aura.

"Thanks for the donation, Black Sky."

Du Mu thanked Hei Kong in his heart once again.

Such a foolish person who willingly offers himself up... there aren't many good people like him these days.

Now that he no longer needs to worry about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s daily tasks, and with the construction of several bases progressing steadily, Du Mu has finally found some free time.

Free time should not be wasted.

He decided to do something worthwhile.

So they were teleported back to the X-Men universe and immediately found Emma, ​​the person they were really dealing with.

After finishing his business, Du Mu returned to Kamar-Taj and began to neglect his duties, immersing himself in the library to improve his magical knowledge.

Several days passed just like that.

[Attention players, the new dungeon is now officially open]

[Enter the instance immediately/no]

Du Mu, who had just finished reading the classics, suddenly heard the system's voice in his mind.

"Another dungeon is coming. What kind of dungeon will it be this time?"

Without hesitation, Du Mu immediately clicked the "yes" option.

The next moment, he vanished from the library of Kamar-Taj.

Da da da da da da—!

When Du Mu opened his eyes again, he found himself slumped next to a black SUV, with the sound of gunshots ringing in his ears.

Clearly, this is the scene of a gunfight.

He quickly looked up and scanned the area, discovering a dozen or so menacing-looking thugs not far away.

They looked frantic, firing wildly at the police officers in front of them with their rifles, resembling outlaws.

Five or six police cars were blocking the middle of the road as cover, and more than a dozen police officers were pinned down and unable to raise their heads. They could only occasionally stick out their pistols to fire back a couple of shots, which had little effect.

Du Mu had not yet received the identity information assigned by the game system, and could only judge from the environment that he was likely an innocent bystander who had been accidentally dragged into this gunfight.

Having made his assessment, he prepared to find a place to hide and observe the battle, waiting until he could clearly see the situation before making any further moves.

However, at that moment, Du Mu noticed a bald thug moving toward them while firing shots.

He squinted, pulled out his golden Desert Eagle, and prepared to take the enemy down with a single shot as soon as they got close.

"Du Mu, you're still alive?!"

The bald thug ran to the car, looked down and saw Du Mu, exclaiming in surprise, "Damn it, I thought you'd been beaten to death by those cops!"

Du Mu:

'

Well, I'm a criminal too.

Du Mu calmly put down the Golden Desert Eagle and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"You weren't stunned by the stun grenade, were you?"

The bald thug frowned, quickly saying as he changed magazines, "Our deal was discovered by those Gotham City police. That bastard Gordon and his men ambushed us here beforehand. Enough talk, if you can stand up, get back to work!"

Gotham?

Gordon?

Upon hearing these two words, Du Mu's expression froze instantly.

Where did this come from?

Is this still Marvel?
