The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 123 Return of the Hive
Malik had already arranged for Stephanie and other elite children of the family to leave secretly to save the last spark for the family, while he himself and other core members of the family came to the research room in the underground space and looked at the huge stone monument in front of him.

"How long has it been?" Malik asked the Institute.

"It's been an hour since the expedition set off."

"It's been so long!"

"I'm afraid something will happen."

"Let the second team prepare."

"Success or failure is determined by one stroke. We have no way out, and we must welcome that one back no matter what."

Everyone talked to each other, showing firm determination. Although the members of the Second Expeditionary Team on standby were nervous, they were not afraid of the loss of the first team. Their eyes were full of emotion, called fanaticism.

Just when they were ready to go, the giant stone tablet suddenly vibrated violently, turned into a puddle of fluid, and spit out a person.

Malik and the others looked ecstatic, because this was a soldier of the First Expeditionary Team.

It’s not that the expedition team wasn’t sent out in the previous experiment, it’s that none of the people sent out came back. And if someone comes back, even if they don’t welcome that person back, it’s a huge breakthrough to be able to bring back any news about the other side of the giant stone monument!

The medical staff and researchers waiting on the side were about to step forward to inquire about the situation, but they stopped after taking two steps, because the person who came back was pale and his body posture was distorted, and he did not look like a living person at all.

"It's you... are you looking for me?"

There was dead silence, Malik and the others looked horrified, and they all guessed that the person in front of them was no longer themselves, but...

"May I ask if Lord Hive has returned?" Malik took a few steps forward and asked respectfully.

"Oh? After so many years, it's really good that someone still knows my name."

"It really is you! Welcome Master Hive back to Earth!"

"Welcome Master Hive to return to Earth!"

"You are..." Hive has been exiled for too long, and has no idea that it still has its followers on the earth after so many years.

"My lord, when you were exiled, your followers spontaneously established an organization called Hydra. The goal is to welcome you back to Earth, and we are their descendants." Malik explained.

"I see. I didn't expect that so many people who betrayed me back then would still have such loyal people left behind. You guys are very good." Beehive nodded with satisfaction.

"My lord, we have prepared a resting place for your lord, please come with me."

"No hurry, I'm a little hungry now, let's eat something first."

"Yes, I will immediately..."

Before the words were finished, Malik and the core members became terrified. Countless tiny bugs flew out of the hive in waves, wrapped several people around them, and hung them in the air. , turned into a pile of dead bones, flesh and blood gathered into a river into the hive.

And the hive's complexion also became ruddy, her posture was no longer weird, and she returned to the appearance of a living person.

However, the flesh and blood on the face began to squirm, and soon changed into a non-human head with tentacles, very much like an octopus.

"Huh~ It's been so many years, I haven't eaten so full, lead the way, let me see what new changes have taken place in this world."

"...Yes..." Malik fearfully led the way to the hive.

The previous scene really scared him.

Being exiled means that the other party will not be a good man and a good woman, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel.Although those medical staff and researchers are insignificant low-level personnel, they are still members of the organization, and they are his future subordinates, so they treat them as food without hesitation...

Now he once again recalled his daughter's admonition to him: "Father, we have worked so hard to save that one back to Earth, but will he... really appreciate it? Or... really care about us?"

I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure, the other party doesn't care about their life or death at all, maybe in his eyes, everyone is just food.

"Are you afraid?"

"No, my lord, I am in awe of you."

Malik's mind was broken by the hive, and he immediately denied it.

"Don't be nervous. I was just too hungry. Normally I wouldn't be so rude." Beehive patted Malik on the shoulder with a half-smile to comfort him.

"Yes……"

It's okay not to say it, but after saying this, Malik even more doubted whether the long-cherished wish of himself and others for many years was correct. With such an existence, could Hydra really rule the earth instead of destroying it?
……

When he came to the luxurious underground room, Malik put away his previous thoughts and explained the changes in the world to the hive.

The changes in the world shocked the Hive. Although compared with the Cree Empire, it was still far behind in terms of technology, but judging from the current speed of development, it was only a matter of time before they caught up with the Cree Empire.

But it's all the little things, and what shocks the hive the most is the endless stream of superheroes.

He didn't pay much attention to the others, but he couldn't ignore the existence of Adam and Heroic Spirit.

"Sir..." Malik looked at the hive that had been deep in thought for a long time and called softly.

"How many other Inhumans exist in the world?" Hive asked.

Hive's ability is not combat type, but control. He can control all Inhumans, brainwash the Inhumans' subconscious through the tiny parasites in his body, and make the Inhumans think that he did it without realizing it. Everything is correct, similar to a command tower.

So he needs his subordinates and needs more Inhumans to serve him.

"My lord, time has passed. There are not many Inhumans on Earth anymore. There may be many more, but none of them have the ability to awaken, so we don't know much..."

As soon as the words fell, Malik felt an aura of death pervading the room. It was not aimed at him, but the murderous aura unconsciously exuded by the hive due to anger.

Malik and the others stood aside tremblingly, watching the hive browse through the information expressionlessly.

"Huh?" The strong murderous aura gradually disappeared until the screen froze on a frame.

"Who is this?"

Honeycomb pointed to the girl on the screen and asked.

"She is Daisy Cronos, codenamed "Shock Girl". She is the adopted daughter of the Lord of the Throne and a core member of the mysterious organization. Her ability is to create shocks..."

"Find her and bring her to me."

"My lord! This is impossible..."

"Ok?"

Just as Malik questioned him, he was surrounded by a large number of parasites in the next second, and the breath of death touched his nerves.

"My lord, spare me! It's not that I want to disobey your orders! It's just that it's impossible to capture this girl!"

"Why is it impossible?" The parasite stayed on the surface of Malik's body. Although it didn't enter his body, it still didn't take it back. As for whether to take it back or eat him later, it all depends on his answer.

"Shockwave is the favorite youngest daughter of the Lord of the Throne. She has received the most rigorous training since she was a child. Her own strength ranks first in that organization, and she never performs tasks alone. One of Asgard's pranks God Loki will always be by her side, and... and there may be heroic spirits by her side!"

Feeling the bugs gradually infiltrating his body, Malik was completely panicked. Fortunately, with the last sentence, he could feel the parasites leaving him and breathed a sigh of relief.

"She is my compatriot." The voice of the hive came faintly.

"You said she was an Inhuman!?" Malik waited, his eyes widened.

"Yes."

Malik's mind began to spin rapidly.

Catching Daisy Kronos was difficult, almost impossible, but...

If it succeeds and Daisy is controlled by the Hive, will the Lord of Heroic Spirits who values ​​his family be restricted?

Moreover, although many secrets were exposed in the Battle of New York, there is not much intelligence about the "Watchmen" organization. I only know that Steve and others are members of it, and they have such strong technological strength, but what else? I don't know, where is the base?What is the name of the organization?Who are the other two groups of mysterious allies?None of this is clear.

However, if Daisy is captured and controlled by the hive, then this organization is like a stripped girl, without any secrets at all.

On the one hand is the crisis of destruction, on the other hand is the great temptation, Malik is entangled.

"My lord, if you want to capture Shockwave, I'm afraid you need to do it yourself." Malik requested, it is impossible to do it with only his hands, and the only hope is the hive.

"Yes." Hive nodded.

He also knew that it would be impossible for ordinary people like Malik to forcibly kidnap Shockwave under the protection of heroic spirits.

"Thank you, my lord! I'll make arrangements right away!"

Malik was very excited. As long as he successfully captured Daisy and found Adam's secrets and even weaknesses, then Adam and the heroic spirits would no longer be obstacles, and the day when Hydra would rise again would not be far away.
