He always had patience for high-quality thugs; if you brought up directly tying him up, Duval wouldn't be sleepy anymore.
He was after this Serum.
However, the super soldier responsible for contacting Duval clearly misunderstood, thinking that Duval's scientist genes were acting up and he wanted to study the Super Serum.
"Mr. Duval, Colonel Stryker said that as long as you nod and offer up the Xenomorph, he is willing to restart the Super Serum research program," the soldier said.
"You mean, it hasn't been restarted yet?"
"That's right, the effects of this Super Serum are too strong. As early as the last century, after repeated unsuccessful experiments, the Serum was sealed away until today."
Duval lowered his head and quickly read through the document again. With his enhanced brain, he could memorize everything he saw, firmly remembering the words.
"Then, I seriously doubt Stryker's sincerity. He wants me to offer up the Xenomorph, but only gives me such an ambiguous thing? Is he provoking me?" Duval directly tore the document in half and threw it at the super soldier's face.
The Super Serum, claimed to be ten thousand times more effective than Captain America's Serum, actually had effects far exceeding ten thousand times, even millions or tens of millions of times, when used on specific people! The true name of this Serum was—Sentry Serum! This Sentry was not the Sentry Robot that exterminated the Mutants in many universes.
But the Sentry regarded as one of Marvel's Supermen, claimed to possess the power of a million suns.
Duval was also very surprised, never expecting that the Sentry actually existed in this universe? Looking at the countless universes of the entire multiverse, the Sentry was a rare fellow, with a limited total number.
There were two origins of the Sentry, and his battle record was also inconsistent.
The most powerful Sentry was only the Sentry of the 616 universe, who defeated the Molecule Man Owen's counterpart, was resurrected by Apocalypse as one of the Four Horsemen of Death after his death, and was finally killed by the symbiote god Knull. His soul was imprisoned by the Celestials, and his body was transformed into a zombie, eventually defeated by the Reaper Doctor Strange. This Sentry was the ceiling of all Sentries, with three personalities united, perhaps possessing "single-entity omnipotence," that is, possessing top-tier power in a single universe, far exceeding the average single-universe level.
The second most powerful Sentry was the Sentry in the World Breaker Hulk universe, who was slightly inferior when facing the World Breaker Hulk.
These were considered relatively strong.
There were also relatively weak Sentries, such as the zombie universe Sentry, who confidently confronted the zombie Banner and was instantly defeated, becoming a zombie; the what if universe Sentry was killed by Black Bolt, etc.
These were considered relatively famous Sentries, and it was hard to say how high their upper limit was, but the lower limit could definitely not be said to be low.
And the Sentry in Duval's universe, no matter how bad, was enough to attract Duval's attention.
He was not afraid that the Sentry in this universe was a weakling. As long as he sent the Xenomorph to parasitize him, and the parasitism was successful, he could synchronize and become stronger, absorbing the best genes in the Sentry's body, carrying the energy in the Super Serum and the power from a certain pocket universe.
The Xenomorph itself was not strong, but after absorbing the Sentry's genes and becoming a mortal version of Sentry PLUS, it would be different to accept the changes brought about by the Super Serum.
The Sentry could transform from a mortal into a Marvel Superman after drinking the Serum. Even if the Xenomorph parasitized the Sentry in his mortal stage, it could still be used.
Most importantly, the Sentry in his mortal stage was a complete addict, and his mind was always a bit problematic. Theft and other behaviors were commonplace.
According to normal development, this guy would break into a secret laboratory after his du addiction flared up, and drink the Super Serum in a delirious state, transforming into the Sentry.
Duval had no psychological burden in dealing with such a guy.
Duval suddenly thought, if he hadn't appeared, would the Sentry in this universe never appear?
That was really possible.
"William Stryker, I know you're listening. I want to know, when did you start researching this Super Serum you mentioned?" Duval looked at the super soldier in front of him.
The soldier was silent for a while, and a sinister voice came from the communication device hanging on his collar: "1947."
Duval looked enlightened: "The K Department and the Rebirth Project, to replicate Steve's miracle, developed the Super Serum in 1947?"
"You actually know? Who told you, Nick Fury? Or Zheng Xian?"
Stryker was silent for a moment, and said: "This plan has been terminated for decades. Even this Serum, which is claimed to be ten thousand times more effective, is just a guess. It was the reason given by those scientists in order not to be disbanded and abandoned by the government, but they couldn't prove it, because everyone who tried to exert the effect of the Serum died."
Rather than a Super Serum, it was more like a super poison. Even today, no one could figure out how to use this thing.
"So it was sealed away? And hasn't been started up to this day?"
"That's right, as long as you give me the Xenomorph, I can apply to restart this project and take out the Serum. Don't you need a powerful host? Don't you need more warriors to participate in the war in Asgard? Think about it, I can decompose the Serum into countless drops to cultivate super soldiers—soldiers even more powerful than the guy standing in front of you, and they will all be your hosts."
"Very good, now I believe you are talking to me with a little sincerity."
"Because you said before entering the venue that you like guys with clear logic, then there is nothing clearer than the facts." Stryker let out a low laugh, and even through the signal, people could feel the guy's morbidity.
Duval pondered, feeling that this Stryker was not in a normal state either, probably because he realized that he couldn't really kill all the Mutants and avenge his tragically dead wife and ruined family, so he was a little crazy.
Magneto alone was an insurmountable chasm for Stryker. Not to mention remotely controlling metal, even just creating an energy field in place, Old Man could withstand a nuclear explosion.
This kind of power was beyond Stryker's reach.
Stryker was enthusiastic in his heart, and turned his attention to Duval, who was also somewhat "paranoid" in his eyes, and also set his sights on the Xenomorph under Duval's command.
Even participating in wars between gods is a testament to the potential of Xenomorphs.
Colonel Stryker also desires to possess a formidable army with immense potential, a terrifying number, and near-impossible to eradicate.
"In the ratings of various countries and organizations, you are undeniably a T0-level figure, you know that, right? Because no one knows how many Xenomorphs you've released worldwide, and how many of them will become Queens, covering the skies, the earth, the oceans..."
Colonel Stryker sneered, "The scene of S.H.I.E.L.D. sending their own trained Xenomorphs to attack you has already spread worldwide. This has successfully made some guys who were trying to do gene cloning temporarily stop their actions."
This is why everyone has to listen to Duval with a pinched nose, and why Duval can receive an invitation and come to the summit to give a report.
Duval's hard power is not as good as Magneto's and the like, but the potential risks caused by Duval's death or slacking off are much more disgusting than Magneto's. It's purely a Xenomorph-binding strategy, deterring the world, without any concealment.
This is the real reason why Duval dares to participate in the Asgardian war without being severely suppressed. No one can figure out Duval's thoughts, and no one knows how much Duval has done in secret.
Duval ignored Colonel Stryker's words, he was thinking about another thing.
Super Serum sealed? As expected, in all the universes where Sentries were born, even Sentries with different origins and vastly different strengths, they all broke into the laboratory and drank the Serum to complete their transformation.
And these Super Serums, without exception, have been studied since their birth, and there is no such thing as suspension or sealing.
In other words, if this universe didn't have Duval, Colonel Stryker wouldn't have taken a fancy to the Xenomorphs, and wouldn't have remembered the Super Serum, which they considered a super poison unrelated to Captain America's Serum, from a pile of messy inventory containing who knows how many strange props.
Duval had a sense of picking up a bargain, like strolling down the street and accidentally picking up a Galactus who had just cooled down.
Of course, except for the Sentry of the 616 main universe and the Sentry of the World Breaker Hulk universe, all the other Sentries combined are not enough for a Galactus from any universe to beat casually. Duval also didn't have high expectations for the Sentry that should have died young in this universe.
But this unexpected discovery aroused Duval's interest.
"It's impossible to offer up the Xenomorphs. If you were standing in front of me, the moment you made this request, I would gently take off your head and throw it down from the 13th floor of the Summit Building, watching it explode like a watermelon," Duval said.
Colonel Stryker's laughter was very cold. He wasn't afraid of Duval making requests, he was just afraid that Duval wouldn't even talk about it: "It seems we've reached a consensus. For you, this poisonous Serum is the best weapon..."
"Let me get the thing first. It's nominally a Serum, but this thing has been abandoned for so many years. If it really has the strengthening effect of a Serum, would it be idle? Colonel Stryker, I suspect that even you haven't figured out whether this thing is really a Serum."
Duval reached out and took off the communication device on the soldier's collar, then looked up and around, looking at the venue that was obviously carefully arranged and installed with unknown high-tech equipment such as mental shielding instruments.
"So, it seems we've reached a consensus. After the meeting, we can start trading. I'll send someone to give you the detailed information of the Super Serum. At that time, you have to give me a Xenomorph, preferably a Matriarch with reproductive ability."
"I want to get the Super Serum first and test it, otherwise how can I be sure whether what you gave me is real or fake?"
"This is very disadvantageous to me. If you rob it, I have no room to regret it. I want to get a complete Xenomorph first."
The two talked for a while, and Colonel Stryker hung up the communication. From beginning to end, he behaved very cautiously, and even the cooperation with Duval in the future, he did not intend to come forward in person, always hiding himself.
Duval looked calmly at the super soldier in front of him, watching the other party take out the detonator without saying a word, detonate the micro-bomb in his brain, and blow his brain into tofu.
This was not beyond Duval's expectations. Colonel Stryker would not let his subordinates who knew so much news live.
"Colonel Stryker doesn't know where my interests lie at all... He's preparing, and I have to start acting too. First, search for the Sentry, that is, the whereabouts of Robert Reynolds."
But to find such an addict, without an entry point, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Duval pondered in his heart, made a plan, secretly gave orders to all the Xenomorphs in New York City, and immediately walked out of the secret room and returned to the venue with a calm expression.
As soon as he left, soldiers entered the room to clean up, everything was as if nothing had happened.
At the venue, Jean Grey had just finished her speech. When everyone thought that the speech belonging to the Mutants was over, and they were relieved, Jean threw out a blockbuster with a complicated expression.
"After negotiation, the X-Men and the Brotherhood have officially reconciled. We will unite to find a new path suitable for the survival of Mutants. When necessary, we will establish a country belonging to Mutants."
As soon as this remark came out, the whole place exploded in an instant!
Countless arguments made the entire venue extremely noisy. In Jean's ears, it was like listening to millions of bees buzzing.
But when Professor Charles and Magneto watched everyone expressionlessly from the stage, the sound gradually subsided.
"Dr. Grey, where do you plan to build your country? Do you want to invade other countries and kill countless humans to open up your own land?"
"Mutants are also citizens of this planet, it's impossible for them to do whatever you say!"
"Professor Charles, have you really made a decision? What drives you to do such a crazy thing, to compromise with the world's number one terror... the leader of the Brotherhood?"
This is destined to be a difficult wrangling. This speech alone can trigger a global earthquake.
Jean Grey just shook her head, without any intention of answering, and walked off the stage with heavy steps.
Honestly, she didn't expect things to develop so quickly, Professor Charles and Magneto, these two rivals, stood together.
As long as these two reach a consensus, other Mutants will naturally follow. Even if they have objections in their hearts, they will follow, because they believe that they will not have the power and wisdom to surpass the bipolar.
"That was truly wonderful, it really gets the blood pumping."
Duval rudely pushed everyone aside, and with Mjolnir in his hand, wherever he went, people dared to be angry but not to speak.
Magneto coldly looked at him: "You didn't listen at all, and instead followed a guy with ulterior motives."
"I heard the beginning and the end, so I roughly know what happened. It seems that the influence brought by Destiny is fermenting at an alarming rate, and I also indirectly contributed to this process."
Duval wasn't surprised at all by this result. Since he knew of Destiny's existence, combined with his memories from his previous life, he had long been mentally prepared for the bipolar union. This was an inevitable result.
Professor X's expressionless face barely showed a hint of gentleness: "It seems that you had a good talk with them."
"It was alright, Colonel William Stryker, that guy wanted to make a deal with me, but I have a better idea. You help me find someone, and I'll help you kill Stryker. That's fair."
Hearing this name, every Mutant frowned.
"Who are you looking for? That person must be very important to you." Professor X's eyes revealed inquiry.
"Robert Reynolds, from New York, maybe a drug addict, good at stealing, seems a bit cowardly, and might have some mental problems. Help me find him."
"He's already been found, located at the third alley from the north on Central Avenue."
Duval looked up and saw the guy representing the Vampires was taking the stage. He immediately flew straight onto the stage, forcibly starting his academic report by cutting in line.
But his mind was clearly not here. Several Xenomorphs had already secretly set out, rapidly traversing the sinful city.
Robert Reynolds, who had just woken up, looked at the Xenomorph appearing in front of him with a face full of horror: "Where did these monsters come from!! What do you want to do to me??"
