Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Chapter 209 Respectfully Paying Homage to the Emperor (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

I recognized him by his eyes; he's someone Strucker doesn't want to mess with.

Strucker was a very sensible Hydra leader.

Strucker understood that he had no power to resist this move.

Even many of his own Hydra soldiers were in the same situation.

He reached out his hand to the woman, gesturing for her to come over.

Baron Strucker gritted his teeth, glanced back at his supervisors, researchers, and Hydra soldiers, scanning their eyes one by one, and finally made up his mind.

She turned around with a fawning smile.

"Ma'am, am I the only one here?"

"You're wasting your time," the woman said impatiently, shrugping her hand away.

Then he saw the sparking portal automatically move sideways toward Strucker. Strucker instinctively raised his hands to block it, but nothing happened.

When he put his hand down, he found himself in a familiar place.

The castle hall.

This castle was originally an asset passed down through his family and has a history of several hundred years.

The castle hall is spacious and has a very long history and rustic feel, with valuable oil paintings hanging on the surrounding walls.

The floor was covered with a red carpet.

At the far end of the hall, on the central wall of the double staircase, hangs a large full-body portrait of him.

But none of these are the key points.

Instead, there were already quite a few people standing in the hall: a group of soldiers wearing heavy, dark blue power armor, each nearly two meters tall, and on the other side, a dozen or so women wearing red overcoats.

They were all tall and hot.

Neat rows of people lined up on both sides, leaving a passageway of nearly a meter in the middle.

Strucker could see clearly that at the very front of the group, there seemed to be a person standing there, along with his twin brother and sister test subjects.

Strucker's appearance drew the attention of the people there. The Astartes and ravens lined up in neat rows on both sides turned around and focused their gazes on Strucker.

The intense pressure almost made Strucker kneel down.

He saw no other emotions; those eyes held only coldness and warning, as if they were looking at a corpse.

Strucker gave an almost tearful smile and glanced back shakily.

I almost fainted after watching it.

Very good. Behind him was the castle gate, and outside the gate he could see the swirling snow and a large group of people he had never seen before walking around.

The only thing missing was his subordinates and supervisors.

So, turning back, Baron Strucker began his arduous journey, walking step by step along the path left between the Astartes and the Raven.

With each step he took, he faced the cold gazes of the soldiers on both sides, as if steel knives were scraping across his frail body.

The fear deepened even further.

In that short distance of less than twenty meters, Strucker felt as if he had walked through his entire life, his past flashing before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

Soon, he arrived at the very front.

The twins seemed to have noticed his arrival and turned around curiously to see Baron Strucker.

My head instinctively went down.

However, upon seeing the other person's pale and terrified face, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

The twins had never seen the high and mighty Baron in this state before.

Wolfgang von Strucker.

Reicher, standing nearby, called out Strucker's name. Strucker shuddered at Reicher's deep voice, then looked up as if to say something.

But Lei Che raised his hand, stopping the other person from speaking.

He said coldly, "Wait."

After saying that, he fell silent.

Baron Strucker swallowed the words he wanted to say, feeling frustrated but even more so, terrified.

He has now figured out the situation.

He knew he was already a lamb to the slaughter.

Strucker recognized these people.

That heavy, dark blue powered armor, and that iconic red overcoat.

One of the key figures in the Manhattan Incident.

Each of them possesses superhuman strength and speed.

This period caused a huge uproar around the world in a short period of time, and its popularity remains high even now, with people still tirelessly discussing it on online media.

Although Baron Strucker spent most of his time in Sokovia, he was not a caveman.

They are not disconnected from the real world and are isolated from it.

He was well aware of how terrifying this mysterious legion was.

He just hadn't considered why these people would come looking for him.

Fear and confusion left Baron Strucker's mind in utter turmoil.

Rachel, Astartes, and the ravens stood solemnly, awaiting the arrival of their leader.

This extraordinary discipline created pressure. Leaving aside Baron Strucker, the twins became vaguely uneasy, secretly exchanging glances and stealing glances at Reicher and his group.

Only a series of noises came from outside the castle, and of course from the experimental base beneath it.

Fortunately, the wait didn't last long.

A sparkling circular portal appeared, and Matthew, wearing a black overcoat, stepped out.

The moment his figure left the portal, the portal disappeared.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The moment they saw Matthew, Reicher and the rest of the Astartes and Raven Warriors instantly knelt on one knee, placed their right fists on their chests, and shouted in unison.

Humble yet passionate.

The commotion startled the twins, who were momentarily at a loss. Baron Strucker was so frightened by the atmosphere that he staggered back and collapsed to the ground.

"Rayche?"

Not to mention these three, Matthew was quite surprised and looked at Rachel to the side with a sense of helplessness.

He looked at me like I was some kind of crazy person.

What's this? They just call him "Your Majesty" right away. It's getting a bit cold.

"The Empire has been established, and you are the only true God, the shepherd of mankind, and the guardian of souls."

"The establishment of order requires a leader, and you are the supreme emperor."

Reich didn't care what Matthew felt.

All he needed to know was this: they had all waited a long time for this moment. The empire had been established, and therefore there had to be an emperor on the throne.

They all need a rising flag, a flag to look up at, a flag to wave, and as their gaze sweeps across the land, they draw their weapons and conquer all directions.

It's not just being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

This is an inevitable result of the establishment of order.

Matthew didn't need Observation Haki to see the determination in the eyes of Reiche and the other Astartes and Raven warriors.

They also knew that these guys weren't acting on a whim, but had been planning this for a long time.

They are looking at each other.

The atmosphere became heavy.

The twins huddled together, glancing left and right, their expressions a mixture of furtive curiosity and excited anticipation.

It felt like I had witnessed something incredible.

As for Baron Strucker, he was completely numb.

Let them make a scene, let them make a scene. Even if it's just playing house, it has nothing to do with him anymore. He's definitely going to be finished anyway.
