This power terrified her, yet it was also damnably attractive to her!

“Natasha,” Steve’s voice pulled her back to reality, “Do you know that person?”

He noticed the way Lin Tian looked at Natasha just now; it was definitely not the way he looked at a stranger!

Natasha's heart tightened as she met Steve's serious and probing gaze. She knew she had to give an explanation.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Natasha's Heart in Turmoil, Captain America's Worries

Faced with Captain America Steve Rogers' serious gaze, Natasha knew she could no longer give vague answers like she had with Fury.

Steve may not be as meticulous as Fury, but he is honest, perceptive, and very stubborn.

Once he sets his mind on something, he will definitely investigate it thoroughly.

Moreover, the Avengers present had all seen the undisguised, peculiar look Lin Tian gave her just now.

“Yes, I know him.” Natasha took a deep breath and decided to reveal some information. “His name is Lin Tian, ​​a very mysterious and dangerous young Chinese man.”

She briefly recounted her several encounters with Lin Tian in New York, as well as the various incredible abilities Lin Tian had displayed—telekinesis, instant healing, suspected mental influence, the terrifying pressure he had just exerted, and the possible teleportation ability.

“He seems quite interested in me,” Natasha added, trying to keep her tone calm, but her cheeks still couldn’t help but feel a little hot.

Steve and Hawkeye's expressions grew increasingly grave after hearing Natasha's account.

A mysterious figure with so many bizarre abilities, and who seems to know everything about S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, is definitely a huge potential threat!

“What about the twins?” Steve pressed. “What about them? I remember there were indeed two such people among Baron Strucker’s experiments, but their strength seemed to be much greater than described in the data!”

“I suspect their power mutation is related to Lin Tian,” Natasha said, offering her speculation. “Lin Tian seems to be able to enhance or even ‘bestow’ power upon others in some way, just like that Ghost Spider in Queens.”

Ghost Spider! Gwen Stacy!

Steve and Hawkeye exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes!

Previously, they had only regarded Ghost Spider as a young mutant or Inhuman with great potential who had been accidentally awakened.

But if the source of her power is also related to this Lin Tian...

Then Lin Tian's abilities are terrifying!

Not only is he powerful himself, but he can also "create" powerful superhumans like the Ghost Spider and the Maximov twins?!

What exactly is he trying to do?! Build his own super-powered army?!

"This matter must be reported to Fury immediately!" Steve said in a deep voice, his tone more serious than ever before. "Lin Tian may be more dangerous than any enemy we imagine!"

Hawkeye nodded, his expression grave. He recalled Lin Tian's disdainful look earlier, and a chill still ran down his spine.

Natasha looked at her teammates as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

Dangerous? Of course she knew Lin Tian was in danger!

so what?

She discovered that, deep down, she didn't actually want S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Avengers to be enemies with Lin Tian.

There was even a hint of secret expectation? An expectation that the man would become even stronger? Stronger than anyone else?

This thought startled even herself!

What's wrong with me?!

Natasha shook her head forcefully, forcing herself to suppress these inappropriate thoughts.

“Let’s go into the base and check the situation.” Steve led the way toward the damaged base entrance. “Hopefully we can find some clues about Lin Tian and his two ‘students’.”

The commando team cautiously entered the base.

The scene inside horrified them!

The corridor was littered with the corpses of Hydra soldiers, and various high-tech defense facilities were destroyed in disarray.

The core area was in complete disarray, with all the computer hard drives forcibly removed or completely formatted, and important paper documents burned to ashes.

Clearly, the attackers conducted a thorough cleanup before leaving.

"Damn it! Nothing was left behind!" an agent said in frustration.

Steve walked up to the destroyed mainframe computer, his brow furrowed.

The other party's methods were too clean and too professional.

“Wait a minute,” Natasha suddenly stopped in a corner, her eyes sharply fixed on the ground.

There, there was a small, pale pink, almost imperceptible trace of residual energy.

This aura

Natasha's heart skipped a beat!

It's Lin Tian's energy!

But it seems different from what I experienced in New York? More refined? More powerful?

He's gotten stronger again?!

Moreover, the location where this energy remains seems to be...

Natasha followed the trail and finally stopped next to a high-ranking Hydra official who had been knocked unconscious (not Baron Strucker, who had already been taken away by Lin Tian).

The executive's expression was strange.

Pain and fear, yet tinged with a strange flush and intoxication?

Natasha's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.

She recalled the scarred man in New York who had been "punished" by Lin Tian using similar methods.

This bastard even targets Hydra members?!

Just how many people has he used this ability on?!

A surge of inexplicable anger and humiliation welled up in Natasha's heart.

She felt as if he had treated her in a similar way before, even though she felt comfortable at the time.

Thinking of this, Natasha's cheeks instantly turned bright red, and she quickly banished the shameful thought from her mind.

"Natasha? Did you find anything?" Steve walked over and asked with concern when he saw that Natasha's expression was off.

“No, it’s nothing.” Natasha immediately composed herself and shook her head. “It’s just some strange residual energy.”

She didn't tell Steve her suspicions.

She didn't know how to explain this strange and lewd ability.

Steve looked at Natasha's shifty eyes and his doubts deepened, but he did not press her further.

“It seems we won’t find any more clues here,” Steve sighed. “Let’s report the situation to Fury first. We must find Lin Tian and his two accomplices as soon as possible and find out their purpose!”

The group evacuated the completely destroyed Hydra base.

But the appearance of Lin Tian and his two mysterious "students," and the terrifying strength they displayed, cast a shadow over the Avengers' hearts.

Especially Captain America, Steve Rogers.

He looked at the distant snow-capped mountains, his eyes filled with worry.

An uncontrollable, unfathomably powerful, and seemingly ever-growing mysterious figure.

In addition, there are two other equally powerful superhumans who seem to be completely under his control.

This force, if it gets out of control or is used for evil purposes...

The consequences could be disastrous!

He has to find a way to stop all of this!

Chapter Thirty-Five: Return to New York, Undercurrents Rise Again

With a large amount of data copied from the Hydra base and the "trophy" of Baron Strucker, Lin Tian and his group returned to New York quietly.

During the journey, Lin Tian once again used illusion magic, easily evading the intricate network that S.H.I.E.L.D. had laid out globally. With his current cultivation at the third level and his initial understanding of the laws of space, unless a being of the Sorcerer Supreme level personally intervened, almost no one on this planet could track his whereabouts.

Back in his apartment in Hell's Kitchen, Lin Tian tossed Baron Strucker aside like trash in a corner and then began organizing the documents he had obtained from Hydra.

Energy analysis of the Mind Scepter, spatial data of the Cosmic Cube, and reports of various human enhancement experiments.

While this information didn't directly help Lin Tian's cultivation, it gave him a more comprehensive understanding of the world's technological level and energy utilization methods. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

Lin Tian was particularly interested in the research on the Mind Scepter.

At the core of this scepter seems to be an Infinity Stone? It contains powerful spiritual energy, capable of manipulating people's hearts and even granting them wisdom?

"Interesting," Lin Tian stroked his chin. "If I could get my hands on this, it might have unexpected benefits for my cultivation of the Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture?"

The cultivation methods of the Hehuan Sect are not merely about physical and energy training; the integration and control of the spiritual realm are equally crucial. If he could utilize the power of the Mind Gem, perhaps he could more easily "capture" those prey with strong willpower? Perhaps the spiritual world of some old popsicle frozen for decades?

Of course, this is just a preliminary idea. Infinity Stones are not easy to obtain. Currently, they are likely still in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Temporarily setting aside his thoughts, Lin Tian turned his attention to the two "students" beside him.

After their trip to Europe, especially after personally destroying a Hydra base, the Maksimov siblings' mindset underwent a significant change.

Although Pietro remained wary of Lin Tian, ​​his hostility had lessened considerably, replaced by a sense of awe and obedience.

He had witnessed Lin Tian's godlike abilities firsthand and knew that resistance was pointless. Moreover, Lin Tian was indeed fulfilling his promise—giving them power and leading them on the path of revenge.

Wanda's changes are even more obvious.

Her dependence on and adoration for Lin Tian had almost reached a blind level. Every word Lin Tian said, every glance he gave, could tug at her heartstrings.

Through continuous "deep exchanges," not only did her strength increase rapidly, but her mind was also gradually captivated by Lin Tian's unique charm and powerful aura.

The way she looked at Lin Tian was no longer that of a mentor or benefactor, but rather filled with a young girl's admiration and possessiveness for the person she admired.

However, she herself does not seem to be fully aware of this, or rather, she does not dare to think about it deeply.

"You two did a good job this time." Lin Tian looked at the brother and sister in front of him and gave them his approval. "Especially Wanda, she is becoming more and more proficient in using chaos magic."

When Wanda heard the praise, her face turned slightly red, she lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"However, that's far from enough." Lin Tian changed the subject. "Your current strength is fine for dealing with some Hydra henchmen, but what if you face the Avengers?"

He shook his head: "It's still a long way off."

Pietro and Wanda both looked somewhat unwilling.

"So what should we do next?" Wanda looked up at Lin Tian, ​​her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Continue your training," Lin Tian said. "I will teach you more advanced techniques for utilizing power. At the same time..."

His gaze swept out the window, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "New York City has many 'interesting' people and things. It's time for you to go out and see the world."

"To broaden one's horizons?" Pietro asked, puzzled.

“That’s right.” Lin Tian nodded. “Go and familiarize yourself with this city, get to know your future ‘opponents.’ Of course.”

He looked at Wanda, his eyes softening: "Most importantly, learn to better control your power. Only in real combat can you grow the fastest."

Lin Tian's meaning was clear: he wanted to get the twins involved in some trouble in New York.
