Chapter 1153: Methods for curing ghosts, favor from the gods

"You two, it's your turn." Aaron gestured to Bill and Ava, "Time is precious, so please keep it as simple as possible."

"Ava, she's another victim of Hank Pym's ego."

"What does this have to do with me?" Hank felt inexplicably aggrieved. "I just met her for the first time today, okay?"

"What about my father?"

"Your father? Who is he?"

"Eli Hayes Starr, he was once your colleague at S.H.I.E.L.D., doesn't the great Hank Pym remember him?"

"Uh...I seem to remember." Hank asked with a strange look on his face, "Are you his daughter?"

"My father opposed the great Hank Pym in quantum research, and you had him fired and destroyed his reputation."

“My father wanted to continue his research on his own and was willing to take risks to restore his reputation.

It was too risky, until it went wrong.”

“He told us to run, and I could see he was scared, and I didn’t want to leave him alone.

When I wake up, my parents are dead. I am not so lucky. "Ava said, raising her hands. Her hands were like white phantoms, constantly switching between reality and illusion.

"Wow! It seems you don't need a battle suit to be able to...walk through walls." Scott said in astonishment.

"The suit only helps me control this condition. It should also suppress the pain."

"They call it 'molecular dysregulation,' which is a silly name that doesn't do justice to its severity.

Every cell in my body was torn apart and then put back together.

Over and over again, day after day.”

"I was still at S.H.I.E.L.D." Bill said, "I got a call saying there was a quantum anomaly in Argentina, so I rushed over immediately."

"I found her in the hospital, but her hands couldn't even touch the gift I gave her."

"Dr. Foster did his best to protect me, but others in S.H.I.E.L.D. saw my condition as an opportunity.

They built me ​​a control suit that allowed me to control my disguise, and trained me to be a stealth agent.

They turned me into a weapon, and I stole, spied, and killed for them.

I sold my soul in exchange for them healing me." Ava paused, a flicker of frustration in her eyes. "But they lied."

"Aaron, don't you think you should say something?" Scott said meaningfully, "You are the only S.H.I.E.L.D. agent here!"

"Correction, I'm a consultant." Aaron took out a certificate from the space ring and threw it to him, "Special consultant.

This is why I can thrive in this world where supernatural powers are constantly emerging. These days, it’s hard to survive without a background! "

"Official background is necessary. Believe it or not, even if Officer Wu from the FBI shows up here, he can't do anything to me as long as I have this ID.

Although I am only a consultant, my rank should not be lower than his."

Click! Click!

Scott blinked blankly, "Is this still possible?"

"Don't try to imitate me, you can't do it." Aaron said with a smug smile, "I can do this because I have enough ability. For the sake of world peace, they have to give me face.

But you... there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Scott: ...

"But speaking of S.H.I.E.L.D..." Aaron looked at Ava with a puzzled expression, "I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky.

According to the time calculation, SHIELD at that time had been parasitized by Hydra, and the director was the famous Alexander Pierce.

There is no reason for Hydra to let go of your weapon that can transform between reality and illusion."

"But fortunately, there were still many veterans in S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time, and Hydra had restrained itself somewhat. They even had to carefully conceal your existence so that they could keep a firm hold of you.

But if it were today, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be Nick Fury, a jerk with a thick face, a black heart, and a strong desire for control.

He will squeeze every ounce of your worth out of you, and you won't have a chance to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. before you die."

Nick Fury: ...

Holy shit! Who is slandering me?

"After the turmoil at S.H.I.E.L.D., I took in Ava," Bill said. "I built this pod to slow her decline, but her condition is getting worse, and I don't know how to cure her."

“She tried to kill you, Hank, but I stopped her and told her to watch you instead.

As expected, she discovered you were building a tunnel."

"And you robbed our lab just as we successfully built the tunnel?" Hank gave him a disdainful look. "That's shameless."

"Hank, you have to understand one thing. Ava was merciful by not taking your life."

"You mean I should thank her?"

"At least she didn't retaliate against you because of the Eli Hayes incident." Bill argued, then changed the subject, "Now there is a way to resolve this feud."

"Janet."

Hank's eyes darkened. "Shut up, Bill."

"She has been absorbing quantum energy in the Quantum Realm for the past thirty years. We can extract that energy and use it to repair Ava's molecular structure."

Hank immediately stood up from his chair, clenched his fists, and walked towards Bill aggressively.

Aaron shook his head speechlessly, glanced over, and released his telekinesis to push Hank back to his original position.

"Give me some face and use your words instead of your fists."

“You know what he’s saying?

Extraction, that would tear Jenny's body apart."

"You can't be sure of that."

"Not sure?" Hank laughed in anger. "Do I need to be sure? I will never let Janet take any more risks."

"What about Ava? You owe her this."

"Owe her? Me?" Hank took a deep breath and looked at Ava seriously, "I know you may not like what I said, but I have to clarify one thing.

Do you know why I fired your father? Because he stole my blueprints for building a quantum tunnel.

"Elie Hayes's behavior is plagiarism and betrayal, which is unacceptable under any circumstances. I simply fired him and didn't pursue other charges out of consideration for our friendship as a colleague."

"What?" Bill opened his mouth in astonishment. "Are you kidding me?"

"Bill, you know me. I don't joke about this kind of thing," Hank said solemnly. "Elie Hayes stole my blueprints and added some of his own ideas to them.

To be honest, I didn't expect that he would continue to conduct experiments secretly after being fired.

Taking a risk just to prove his ability was stubborn and foolish, but the serious consequences it caused are not my fault."

"You're lying." Ava glared at him angrily.

“I came up with the idea of ​​a quantum tunnel more than 20 years ago, in order to go to the quantum realm and retrieve Janet, but SHIELD didn’t even know about the blueprint.

And after his father was fired, he actually started doing quantum tunneling experiments. Bill, don't you think this is a coincidence?"

Hearing this, Bill's eyes trembled slightly.

At this time, he was not so determined. Could it be that Eli Hayes was really fired because he peeked at Hank's drawings?

"Hmph!" Hank snorted coldly, then turned to look at Ava, "Ava, I can help you, but the premise is that you can't hurt Janet.

We can harvest energy from the quantum realm in other ways, more gentle ways.”

"It's too late." Bill said with a sullen face, "Ava's body is on the verge of collapse. Only the energy in Janet's body can save her."

"Bill Foster," Hank swore, stifling his anger, "you haven't come up with a single good idea in your entire mediocre career. Not one.

Isn't there any other way to save her besides Jenny? You just can't think of it."

“Yeah, I can’t figure it out, can you?

I'd apologize to you immediately if I could."

"I..." Hank was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Aaron, "Gaius should have a way."

"Ahem!" Aaron coughed and straightened the wrinkles on his coat. "It wasn't easy. Finally someone thought of me."

"you?"

"Yes, that's right, I can save her." Aaron said confidently, then changed the subject, "But I can't save her for free. I'm not that kind, so I have to charge some money for my hard work."

"What do you want?" Bill asked. "If it's money..."

"Talking about money is a bit vulgar. Besides, I don't need money. We can talk about something fresh and unconventional."

"Then what do you want?"

"He wants me," Ava said solemnly, "my body and soul."

"What?"

Aaron directly took out the contract he prepared for Ava, "The gift of fate is secretly marked with a price, but I am clearly marking the price."

"But please believe me, she will definitely not lose out on this deal. In fact, she will be extremely grateful for the decision she made today."

Bill glanced at the silent Ava, took the contract and read it carefully.

After a few minutes, he frowned and said, "This is ridiculous."

"I already respect her very much." Aaron emphasized seriously, "I helped her resolve the pain of molecular imbalance, gave her full freedom and personal dignity, and even a ladder to godhood.

Do you know what that means? Endless life, supreme authority, these are conditions that are enough to drive the entire universe crazy."

“That’s why it’s ridiculous.”

Scott took the contract, glanced at it briefly, and his expression became strange.

“Well, I know you are very capable, but the conditions you offer are too outrageous.

Who do you think you are? God?

Aaron shrugged, "I didn't expect that even though I hid it so well, you still found out."

"Stop teasing me, OK?"

"Scott, have you ever seen God?"

"Thor, Loki, I've seen him on TV."

“To you they are gods, but to me they are merely humans with godhood, or demigods.

But I am different. I am a true God, and the church that spreads my faith was built on Earth a few years ago."

"The God of Contract?" Hope looked at him in surprise. "The God believed in by the Shadow Holy Court?"

"It's me, the God." Aaron admitted frankly, "This is the favor of the gods. It's her honor that I like her and let her become my concubine.

To be honest, I originally just wanted to save her and fulfill the promise I made years ago. Choosing her as my companion was just a whim driven by fate."

"How do you prove it?" Bill asked thoughtfully, "How do we know if you're talking nonsense?"

"Kneel down."

Aaron said this expressionlessly, and as soon as he finished speaking, an irresistible force pressed down on Bill, and his knees immediately bent down and he knelt down uncontrollably.

"Do you need proof now?"

Bill: ...

Probably not, but can't you prove it in a gentler way?

Aaron casually opened a space magic circle and took out the book of prophecy from it.

"Owner."

"Please tell them the prophecy."

"Okay, Master." The face on the prophecy book blinked and looked at Ava sitting on the chair. "Ghost will be the last follower of yours before you leave this universe."

"Did you hear that?" Aaron put away the prophecy book and said, "Since I came to this universe, the prophecy book has made many predictions.

Thor is coming, the Chitauri are invading, the dark elves are invading, the gates of hell are opening, and so on. There are not many good news, but a lot of bad news.

The fact that you will be my last follower is barely good news; at least I won't have to face those ridiculously powerful enemies."

Everyone:......

"Water..." Scott couldn't help but swear, "Are you really a god?"

"Do not believe?"

Scott nodded first, then shook his head. "It's not that I don't believe it, I just think it's too sudden."

“A few years ago, I wouldn’t have told you.

Gaius has many enemies in this universe. If my identity was exposed, my life would be difficult, but the situation is different now.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will return home with my family, relatives and devout believers next year and leave this troubled universe.

Besides that, after I become a god, there are people in this universe who can threaten me, but they will not be found on Earth.

God has left heaven, the Sorcerer Supreme is dead, the demon lord Mephisto dares not show his head, and Satan will not bother me.

In other words, as long as I don't reveal my identity and make a big fuss, I'm safe."

Gulu!

Scott swallowed, "I know God and Satan, but I've never heard of the Sorcerer Supreme, Mephisto."

“Sometimes knowing less is not a bad thing.”

"You're not from this universe?" Hank wasn't particularly surprised. "From another parallel universe?"

"Hmm... maybe it's a little more exaggerated than you think." Aaron said thoughtfully, "I don't know how to explain it, but the dimension I'm in is outside of all parallel universes."

"Then what are you doing in our universe?" Hope asked with some confusion.

“At first I thought it was a family training, a glorious tradition of the Gaius family. The more capable, the more work. The more talented and outstanding the heir, the harder it will be.

My talent is the highest in a hundred years, which directly ended my dream of winning easily. I was forced to start from scratch and fight for my own future.

But gradually I discovered that this wasn't the case. The reason I came to this universe was to clean up the mess left by my two ancestors.
