Chapter 921: Incomplete prophecy, military intervention (1/2)

"There is a reason why Fury sent the three of us here." Hill sighed and said, "Natasha, what's next? The story can't end here, right?"

"The ancient Egyptians believed the prophet's words, and they also believed that En Sabah Nur, that is, Apocalypse, was a false god, because the real gods would never bring exploitation and oppression to their people."

"But even so, they had no ability to resist.

Apocalypse was too strong, even if all the Egyptians were combined, they would not be his opponent.

They begged the prophet for help, and the prophet generously told them how to defeat Apocalypse.

During the period when Apocalypse replaced his body, he would fall into a short sleep, his body was in an unguarded state, and he only needed a knife to kill him. can easily kill him.

In addition, the prophet also told them that Apocalypse will change his body next and have strong self-healing ability.

Once Apocalypse succeeds, it will mean that his rule will be almost infinitely extended, and they and even their descendants will always live in dire straits and will never be able to turn over. "

"This news made the hesitant people determined.

They set up a mechanism in the pyramid in advance and launched a rebellion when Apocalypse was holding a ceremony and was most vulnerable.

They won the battle. Apocalypse and his two knights sank into the ruins as the pyramid collapsed, and their rule also came to an end. "

"Is it over?" Hill asked, "Is there no more information? For example Who is the prophet? "

"No more." Natasha said with some regret, "Like other stories about prophets, the prophet occupies a very small space in this story.

And even if we know who the prophet is, what's the use? A figure from thousands of years ago, he has long turned into yellow earth. "

"The ancient Egyptians successfully overthrew the rule of Apocalypse, but they did not succeed completely, leaving the problem to us. "Barton said speechlessly, "We don't have a prophet to help us!"

"But we don't have an enemy like Apocalypse.

We have to find a way to strengthen the seal. Even if it can't be strengthened, we can't let others destroy it." Hill said seriously, and then she frowned, "Since he has interpreted the contents of the stone tablet, why do we still have to hold this kind of sacrifice? Ritual? You don't really think that Apocalypse will reward him after he escapes, right? "

"This is the gap in intelligence. "Natasha laughed, "He didn't know Aaron's prophecy, he just thought Apocalypse had died thousands of years ago.

Simply find a way to maximize the benefits, with this pyramid as the core, to create a church that respects En Sabah Nur.

It's just that we have just recruited dozens of people and the business has just started, and we are here. "

Barton and Hill smiled speechlessly, "They are lucky, and we are lucky too."

The temporary base was quickly built, Barton packed up his bow and arrow, and voluntarily stood guard at a high place, Hill personally led people to clean up the ruins, took out all the items except the pyramid, and widened the passage by the way.

Natasha called Nick Fury and reported the mission.

"That's it. So far, it's been going pretty smoothly.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has taken control of the tomb of the original mutants. Let's call it a tomb!"

"You didn't act rashly, did you?"

"No, I just cleaned the tomb simply. I didn't even use any electronic equipment."

Nick Fury nodded imperceptibly, but his expression was not relaxed at all. "Aaron has always been paid for his work. Although he doesn't want to admit it, he has never let anyone look at him.

Since the prophecy has been made this time, the probability of Apocalypse escaping is definitely not low. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Accidents can happen at any time, is that what you mean?" Natasha took a deep breath, then looked at the fat man who was interrogating her in front of her, "The accident has already happened."

Nick Fury did not comment, "That stone tablet records the legend of Apocalypse.

Find it and control anyone who has come into contact with it or knows its contents.

In short, the news cannot be leaked."

"I'm just about to leave!" Natasha looked down at the compass in her hand, and the needle pointed very clearly. "I have to admit that I really love this compass."

Nick Fury's mouth curled up, "No one doesn't like it, so... you understand my idea!"

"Fury, no, Director, this is your job, don't try to pull me on board.

In addition, I advise you to give up this idea."

"It won't hurt to try."

"It won't hurt now, but it's hard to say in the future." Natasha hung up the phone and took Barbie and several cars to leave according to the compass.

......

A private museum.

The owner was excitedly introducing his latest collection to his friends.

"These three stone tablets are artifacts from more than 3,000 years ago. I collected them with great difficulty, and the records on them are very interesting.

En Sabah Nur, the legendary ruler of ancient Egypt, proves the existence of this ruler."

"Tariq, I know you can understand hieroglyphics, but you don't have to show off like that!

Hurry up and tell me what these stone tablets say."

Tariq smiled proudly, and then pointed to a newly unearthed stone tablet, "This stone tablet records that En Saba Nur is a ruler with multiple god-like abilities. He can replace the body and obtain the original owner of the body. 놅Life span and ability, he 뇾maintains his rule in this way.

However, his rule was overthrown by the people under the guidance of a prophet. "

"This is an agreement between En Shaba Nur and other gods. Egypt will be his territory."

"As for this last piece..." Tariq pointed at the blurry slate with almost invisible words and said enigmatically, "This slate records a prophecy from a prophet. I specially found professionals to use the power of technology to create it. A few words have been restored.”

"What prophecy?"

"En Shaba Nur will leave the pyramid one day, when he will take him back and take him back, and people with the same abilities as him will also be exposed to the sun.

But his ambition will not be realized because Phoenix..."

"Phoenix? That is a very famous mythical beast in the East.

What next? "

Tariq shrugged helplessly and pointed to the obviously missing line of 눂놅 on the stone slab, "It's over here."

"Isn't it?"

"I know you are interested in historical legends, but unfortunately, the following content cannot even be restored with technology."

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The sound of applause sounded, and Natasha and Barbie walked in, "It seems that we are here at the right time!"

"Ladies, this is a private room.

If you want to visit 놅, you can wait a few more days. "

Natasha didn't talk nonsense, she just glanced at the compass and asked Barbie to take out the SHIELD ID.

"Sorry, I'm afraid we have to acquire these stone slabs.

But don’t worry, we will return it after the research is completed, and if there is any shortage, we will provide sufficient compensation. "Barbie showed a sweet smile, and then asked the outside agents to come in and move the goods.

The official identity shocked Tariq and the two of them, but when he saw that they were going to take away the slate, Tarik couldn't hold back any longer.

"Wait, you have no right to do this."

"Actually, we do." Natasha said forcefully, SHIELD's work style clearly reflected in her.

"These slates are not mine," Tariq said hurriedly.

"What did you say?" Natasha's expression changed slightly, "Who else has seen these tablets? Who knows the contents of the tablets?"

Tariq hesitated, but Barbie pulled out the gun in front of him.

The black muzzle of the gun made him immediately choose what he wanted.

"Last year, several people came to me with two stone tablets, because I am the most famous historical antiquities expert in Cairo and can decipher the contents of the stone tablets."

"who are they?"

"The leader seems to be named William Stryker, and the rest should be soldiers."

Snap!

"This is troublesome." Natasha patted her forehead and asked helplessly: "Will you translate those two stone slabs for him?"

"I was originally interested in the stone tablet, and their price was not low.

Most importantly, they have guns. "

"What about the last slate?" Natasha asked, with a hint of luck.

"William is willing to deposit two slates in the museum on the condition that if there are other slates, the translated content must be told to him, and he pays me ten thousand US dollars in advance. I have no reason to refuse, so... "

“Shit!

When did this happen? "

"Almost two years ago."

Natasha's hanging heart finally died, "Barbie, take the stone tablet with you. We have to go back as soon as possible, but it's too late."

"Do you want to notify the director?"

"I will."

Several cars turned back again, a little faster than before.

Natasha also dialed Nick Fury's phone, "Bad news, Fury.

People in the military knew about the existence of 깊꽭Qi, the ancestor of mutants, as early as last year. "

"땣Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure, I don't know about the others, but William Stryker was among them.

You should be aware of this colonel's attitude towards mutants. "

"Fuck Fuck!"

"Fury, we need support, I suspect the military has been looking for Qi Qi's tomb.

땤SHIELD, point them in the direction. "

Nick Fury breathed rapidly, pondered for a while and then said: "Try to stop them, but if you really can't, don't stop them."

"What? Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know it very well, Agent Romano, but I don't have enough time." Nick Fury said helplessly, "William Stryker is the military's knife for dealing with mutants. This knife is so convenient. All He does all the dirty work, the tiring work, and even the fatal work.

When it comes to dealing with mutants, Stryker has too many resources to utilize. There are more than one general and more than one politician standing behind him. The military will never give up on him unless it is a last resort.

Now Stryker and even the faction behind Stryker have been preparing for at least half a year. SHIELD only relies on the intelligence obtained by these two people and your team alone. There is no way to compare with their long-term preparations. "

"Okay! I almost understand." Natasha calmed down a little, "That means we can't stop the prophecy, right?

So what are we still doing in Egypt? Can't you go home and take a vacation? "

"You still have to struggle." Nick Fury said with a wry smile, "Maybe it will work!"

"Easier said than done, Fury."

"Doing it but not succeeding and doing nothing are two different things."

Hearing this, Natasha rolled her eyes speechlessly.

What he said was high-sounding, but he wanted to throw the blame away when the board of directors held him to account!

Back at the ruins, Natasha got out of the car and showed an expression of "Sure enough".

Hill was arguing with a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a slightly bloated figure. The camp was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers with live ammunition. The SHIELD agents were particularly embarrassed in terms of manpower and weapons and equipment.

"Natasha, come back so soon." Barton came over and said.

"It doesn't seem to be of any use. It doesn't look like SHIELD has anything to do with it."

"What's going on now?"

"You have to ask Hill about that." Barton shrugged, "Fortunately she is the leader. I'm not good at negotiation."

"Looking at her face, it seems that the negotiation was not going well." Natasha shook her head slightly and walked over.

"It's really unreasonable, shameless, come on." Hill said angrily, "It was obviously our SHIELD team that came first."

"Agent Hill, I've been very reasonable." Stryker said with a smile, "Also, let me correct you, we were the ones who came first.

The Egyptian government approved the military's development rights to this area six months ago.

In other words, this land already belongs to the military, and you are trespassing on the military's military base.

If you don’t believe it, we still have approval documents. "

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman beside him handed over a document, "Government approval document."

"꿰Introduce me, my personal assistant Koyama Yuriko."

"Dangerous, very dangerous." Natasha looked at this gentle woman and felt her scalp go numb.

"Natasha Romano." Stryker maintained a decent smile, "I guarantee my personality that Yuriko is very safe, safer than you Avengers."

After reading the approval document, Hill had to suppress the anger in his heart, "Colonel Stryker, do you understand what this relic means?"

"Of course I understand." Stryker looked solemn, "It means that because of the dangers and hidden dangers, I understand the owner of this ruins better than any of you."

"Then you still..."

"This is not my decision alone." Stryker said with a half-smile, "To be honest! Many generals, senators, and even the president do not want En Saba Nur to appear in this world alive. "

"Then you should cooperate with SHIELD. We can try to strengthen Kai's seal."

"Good idea, very good idea." Stryker gave a thumbs up seriously, and then changed the topic, "But unfortunately, the higher-ups don't seem to agree with this method.

What they want more is to nip the risk in the bud once and for all. "
