Chapter 416

“Eternals? Welcome, welcome.” Reed’s words revealed a hint of doubt, and his face showed a complex expression, which was mixed with surprise, curiosity, and a hint of forced smile.

Since joining the Illuminati, he seemed to have become accustomed to the situation of discovering new races every now and then.

However, every time a new race joins, it seems to remind him that humans are not always in an advantageous position on this earth, and it is clear that they are the masters of the earth.

These newly discovered races are often stronger than humans in combat, which makes Reed feel a little worried about the future.

He watched Director Pierce lead two people in, and he immediately understood in his heart that these two people were the new members of the Eternals and colleagues of the Golden Sentinels that Director Pierce had mentioned before.

This scene made him feel mixed, and a bitter and unwilling anger spread in his heart.

The Illuminati and the Avengers, these two organizations have completely different positions in Reed’s heart.

If the Avengers is the elite division of human superheroes, then the Illuminati is more like a diversified cosmic alliance.

It accepts a variety of races and works together for a greater goal.

However, this diversity also makes Reed feel an inexplicable pressure.

The Illuminati previously set six seats for the decision-makers, but only four positions are currently filled.

As a representative of mankind, Reed shares these seats with the King of Wakanda Black Panther, Mona of the Kingdom of Atlantis, and the late Inhuman Black Bolt.

Of course, the death of Black Bolt allowed the mutant Baron Zemo to replace him and become the new seat decision-maker.

Now, with the addition of the Eternals and the Golden Sentinels, the Illuminati seems to have finally ushered in a full six seats.

Reed has long recognized the facts and no longer has the ambition to make the Illuminati flourish in his hands.

If he were not the founder, he might have been eliminated from the Illuminati long ago.

Every day, Reed is like walking on thin ice, and every step needs to be cautious.

On the surface, human representatives seem to occupy a dominant position in the Illuminati, but behind the scenes, the shadow of Hydra always looms over him.

Pierce deliberately introduced the Golden Sentinel Kang into the Illuminati and gave him a precious seat. This is undoubtedly a huge threat to Reed and the human forces he represents, and it is also the most direct manifestation of Hydra’s distrust of him.

Although the Black Panthers of Wakanda are also human, their highly autonomous and closed attitude makes Reed feel helpless and powerless.

Although Black Panther T’Challa will lend a hand when the earth encounters a major crisis, they always maintain a detached attitude towards the affairs within the Illuminati, especially those related to the interests of other humans, as if Wakanda is their only true destination in the world.

Reed knows that among the six seats of the Illuminati, the human forces he represents are already precarious. Kang’s joining has exposed this fragility.

He recalled his previous observations of other ethnic groups. Even the newly joined mutant kingdom had strong people like Cassandra and the free forces led by Mystique. It was a force that could not be ignored. It was composed of mutants who were unwilling to succumb to the rule of Hell’s Kitchen. They were united and powerful.

On the other hand, although he had a group of alternative superheroes, they were just substitutes after all.

Former heroes such as Captain America and Hawkeye were unwilling to get involved in the disputes of SHIELD. Reed could only rely on the remaining forces of SHIELD and the cooperation with Hydra to piece together a team called “Avengers Substitutes”.

For example, Captain America’s substitute American Agent, the second-generation Black Widow Yelena, and Taskmaster, Hulk’s substitute military General Ross Red Giant, and Hawkeye’s substitute, Hawkeye’s brother fancy shooter Charles Barton.

How to say it, to be honest, Reed was not very satisfied. This group of so-called substitutes were not bad, but they were okay to carry out a mission against ordinary people, but once they met the people of Hell’s Kitchen, they were finished.

Reed couldn’t command the strongest Red Giant because he was a military general.

So Reed’s influence in the Illuminati was actually the smallest, but fortunately Reed still had allies, a wizard Mordo who defected from Kamar-Taj and his wizards.

The Illuminati is also a microcosm of the Earth. With the continuous emergence of alien civilizations, mysterious forces and mutant races, the voice of mankind on Earth is gradually weakened.

If the Illuminati did not have a common enemy, Hell’s Kitchen, Reed might not have a place in the Illuminati, and the Earth would have fallen under the rule of other races.

However, Reed did not give up. As long as he could control the Reality Stone skillfully, there would be a chance.

Rebuilding the glory of mankind! It is our duty!

He wants to become the king of the new era!

Ma Dongxi, the One Punch Man of the Eternals, just nodded and said hello, not that he was unwilling.

And he was not the brain of the Eternals. He just came to attend this meeting on behalf of their captain Ajak.

He is really not good at negotiating these things!

“Someone will answer you about the Eternals’ affairs later.” Director Pierce seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. Perhaps because of the addition of these two people, he talked a little more.

“The other one is our Hydra’s treasure, scientist Kang. I think you should not feel unfamiliar, right, Reed?” Director Pierce looked at the golden sentinel Kang with a smile, and his tone revealed his admiration and pride for the scientist.

Reed immediately extended his hand to Kang, with a formal smile on his face, “Of course I know him, I’ve heard of Dr. Kang’s name.”

Kang wore a pair of old-looking glasses, and his appearance gave people the impression of a nerd, seemingly indifferent to the world and harmless to people and animals.

However, Reed knew the strength of this scientist very well. This Kang was the most dangerous person, even more dangerous than the Eternals.

“Dr. Kang, you are the first person who can make a place like Hell’s Kitchen suffer. I really admire you.” Reed’s words revealed a bit of ridicule and temptation.

When Kang heard Reed’s words, a sly light flashed across his honest face. He smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Reed, you are too kind. The strength of Hell’s Kitchen is indeed not to be underestimated. I was just lucky to get my own research product back. It was really thrilling.”

“I didn’t expect to be hunted down by Kingpin. It was really unexpected.” Kang continued, revealing a bit of helplessness and determination in his tone, “I have always admired the Illuminati and believe that only the federal government can lead us humans to greatness again. This incident has also made me more determined in this belief.”

Director Pierce next to him smiled with satisfaction when he heard Kang’s words. He patted Kang on the shoulder and said approvingly: “Well said! There is no need to worry about places like Hell’s Kitchen. I believe that as long as Dr. Kang can mass-produce the golden serum, we will be invincible!”

After saying this, Director Pierce turned to Gilgamesh of the Eternals, “Brother Gilgamesh, I have something to talk to you about alone.” Then he said to Reed: “Reed, take Dr. Kang around and let him get familiar with the environment here.”

Reed nodded, indicating that he understood.

And Director Pierce took Gilgamesh out of the room, and waited for Pierce to leave with Gilgamesh.

Only Reed and the golden sentinel Kang were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

“So what is your purpose, Dr. Kang?”
