Chapter 264 Wanda’s super power (please order in full!)
After seeing Pietro pick up Wanda and run away without any hesitation, Russell sighed helplessly.
He was obviously so polite just now, but as a result...
Russell shook his head and activated his clairvoyance and far-sightedness.
It has to be said that Pietro, who has super speed, can run very fast.
In just a few seconds, he took Wanda and ran several kilometers.
If it weren't for his farsightedness, Russell would never have been able to find the two of them.
After confirming the current positions of Pietro and Wanda, he twisted his neck and moved his feet.
Pietro's superpower is super speed.
It just so happens that he also has super speed.
Although he has not shown much of the super speed given by his Kryptonian physique before, this does not mean that his speed will be slower than Pietro.
After taking a deep breath and letting Pietro run a few more kilometers, Russell did not waste any more time and exerted force on his legs.
Bang!
The floor beneath his feet exploded instantly, revealing a large crater nearly two meters in diameter.
Like Pietro, Russell disappeared from the command room in an instant as if teleporting.
Mach one, mach two, mach three...
Although running on the ground is not as convenient as flying in the air, and you need to constantly avoid obstacles on the road, this is not a problem at all for Russell.
In just the blink of an eye, Russell increased his running speed to Mach 5.
Although this is not the ultimate speed that he can burst out, and is even only half of the regular cruising speed of Mach 10 that he usually flies, it is enough for him to catch up with Pietro who is running at top speed with Wanda in his arms.
When flying with Russell, he will be enveloped by a magical biological force field, which allows him to ignore a series of physical phenomena such as acceleration and wind pressure caused by flying at extremely high speeds.
After Pietro used his super speed, a biological force field that could not be explained by science also appeared around his body.
This biological force field that cannot be explained by science not only protected Pietro, who was running at extremely fast speeds, but also protected Wanda who was held in his arms, allowing Wanda, whose physique was not outstanding, to withstand running at supersonic speeds.
brought about a series of reactions.
In other words, the physical phenomena produced when running at extremely high speeds are directly ineffective.
At this time, Pietro had no clear destination.
In fact, he didn't know why he decisively picked up Wanda and ran away after Russell introduced himself.
Judging from Russell's performance, he doesn't have much malicious intent.
However, even so, when Russell walked towards him and Wanda, Pietro still felt an indescribable pressure. He felt like a helpless toddler who encountered a hungry child in the wild.
A rumbling pack of wolves.
Especially after witnessing Russell breaking Baron Strucker's neck with a calm expression.
Russell is very dangerous!
Pietro silently labeled Russell in his heart.
After running for more than ten kilometers in one breath, Pietro stopped.
Although the distance of more than ten kilometers is not particularly far, in Pietro's opinion, it is safe to come here, and there is no need to worry about Russell and his men catching up.
However, just as he was about to put down Wanda he was holding, he saw a dark blue figure appear in his sight.
Before he could react, the dark blue figure approaching at great speed stopped and revealed his true appearance.
"I don't mean any harm, you don't have to be so nervous."
After coming to a stop about five meters away from Pietro, Russell said to Pietro and Wanda.
After seeing that the dark blue figure approaching at great speed was him, both Pietro and Wanda showed shocked expressions.
How can this be?
How could he be so fast?
Although Pietro and Wanda have never been to New York, they are no strangers to Russell.
Not to mention that Russell and Zheng Lian are the darlings of the news media and make headlines from time to time. The Battle of New York that just ended a few days ago is enough to spread the names of Russell and Zheng Lian throughout the world.
However, this is not all the reason why Pietro and Wanda know something about him.
There are so many superheroes in the United States, but they are not interested in knowing what kind of superpowers the American superheroes have.
They will know something about Russell purely because Russell and Tony have a good relationship.
Before the Battle of New York, although people's impression of Tony had always been that of a playboy and a weapons inventor, for Pietro and Wanda, who wanted to seek revenge on Tony, they would focus on any information about Tony.
Not only did they know that Tony had been kidnapped by the Ten Rings Gang in Afghanistan, they also knew that the person who rescued Tony was Russell.
Although they don't know the true relationship between Russell and Tony, in their view, Russell is one of Tony's partners, if not Tony's friend.
According to the information they have, the only superpowers Russell possesses are flight, heat rays, super strength, and super physique.
Because of this, they showed such shocked expressions after seeing Russell showing super speed that had never been shown in front of outsiders.
Especially for Pietro.
Although Wanda also has superpowers, she does not have super speed.
As long as the speed exceeds the capture limit of human eyes, it makes no difference to her.
However, it was completely different for Pietro.
Pietro himself has super speed, so his judgment of speed is much better than Wanda.
Whether it's the capturing limit of his eyes, or his nervous reactions at extreme speeds, etc., he is several levels higher than Wanda.
Wanda couldn't see what was so special about Russell's super speed just now, but Pietro could tell at a glance that Russell's speed was not slower than hers at all, and was even faster than his limit speed.
Trouble!
After this judgment flashed through his mind, Pietro's expression became a little ugly.
If Russell was just running fast, he wouldn't be too worried.
But it's obvious that Russell's superpowers aren't just super speed.
Looking at his sister Wanda who was still in his arms and not letting go, and then at Russell who was only five meters away from him and didn't have any malicious intent on the surface, Pietro frowned solemnly.
He made up his mind instantly. As long as Russell behaved inappropriately in any way, he would turn around and run away with Wanda.
Let’s not talk about whether he can outrun him or not, but at least he can’t let Russell succeed so easily.
Although Pietro didn't speak now, Russell saw something from his current expression.
"I really have no ill intentions. Baron Trak is my enemy, but you are not."
In order to prevent Pietro from turning around and running away with Wanda again, Russell explained with a kind face.
"what do you want to do?"
Pietro asked with a wary look.
"Can you put your sister down first? I swear on my character that I will never attack you two siblings."
If it were anyone else, Russell might not have so much patience.
But now, his patience is obviously better than usual.
The reason is simple, because now standing in front of him are Quicksilver Pietro and Scarlet Witch Wanda.
To be precise, as long as it's because of Wanda the Scarlet Witch.
Pietro's only superpower is super speed.
Although speed is fast to a certain extent, it is also a very powerful superpower. Barry Allen of The Flash is a good example.
However, there are obvious differences between Pietro's super speed and Flash Barry's Speed Force.
The Speed Force of Barry Allen, the Flash, is the power that can reverse time and restart the universe.
Compared with Barry the Flash, Pietro's super speed is obviously not on the same level.
What Russell really values now is Wanda's super power.
In the movie universe, Wanda's superpowers are not particularly outrageous, they are mainly telekinetic and telepathic abilities.
But in fact, Wanda's superpower is obviously more than that.
Chaos magic, and the super power to modify probability!
This is Wanda’s real superpower!
Wanda's chaos magic was given to her by the demon king Chthon who was sealed in Wanda Ge Mountain when she was born.
The superpower that modifies probability is the superpower produced by her own genetic mutation.
Although mutants do not exist in this world, and Wanda and Pietro's father is not the famous Magneto, this does not affect their ability to develop superpowers.
All this is an arrangement of fate, just like Tony's fateful kidnapping.
For Tony, as long as he doesn't die young, being kidnapped is his fate.
The only difference is that the results of the kidnapping will have different variables.
For example, you were rescued before you were kidnapped.
For Pietro and Wanda, super speed and the ability to modify probability are their destined super powers.
The only difference lies in the method used to activate it.
In the movie universe, Pietro and Wanda's superpowers were activated by Baron Strucker's experiments related to the Mind Stone Scepter.
In this world, according to the information Russell has received so far, Wanda and Pietro activated their superpowers due to Baron Strucker's human experiments.
Although the process is slightly different, the results are not different.
"Character? What kind of character can a death merchant like you have?"
After hearing Russell's words, Pietro said disdainfully, showing no sign of letting go of Wanda.
Merchant of Death!
This was originally the nickname given to Tony by the public.
After Octopus Industries swallowed up most of Stark Industries' market share after it withdrew from the military industry, the nickname Merchant Death, which originally belonged to Tony, became Russell's nickname.
Although the nickname "Death Merchant" doesn't sound very good, Russell still likes it.
Of course, he would not say this in front of the media.
After all, he still wears the title of superhero.
Expressing in public that he likes the nickname Merchant of Death will have a certain negative impact on his image.
"Young man, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
"You can go and ask around. My Russell's character is not average. It is my principle to do what I say!"
Russell said with a serious face.
To a certain extent, he is indeed a man of his word.
For example, when I was still working as a killer traveler, I would kill the whole family if I told him to, and I wouldn’t even let the neighbor’s dog go.
Otherwise, how could he use his identity as a Chinese-American to create names such as "Crazy Traveler" and "Vicious Traveler" in the underground world of New York.
After hearing what he said, Pietro didn't speak anymore, but just snorted disdainfully.
Although he didn't speak any more, Wanda, who was held in his arms, raised her right hand and gently patted his shoulder, signaling him to put her down.
Although Wanda was often hugged by Princess Pietro when she was little, that was in the past after all.
Now Wanda is no longer a little girl, but a tall girl in her twenties, with a slim figure and an attractive figure.
She would feel a little embarrassed if she continued to be held by Pietro like this, and in front of an outsider.
More importantly, her intuition told her that Russell did not speak and that he did not mean any harm.
Although Wanda has not used telepathy on Russell now, she trusts her intuition.
Pietro glanced at Wanda first, and then slowly put Wanda down.
After being let go by Pietro, Wanda looked at Russell for a few seconds and said slowly: "I believe you have no malicious intentions, but you haven't told us yet, why on earth are you looking for us?"
It was also their first contact, and Wanda's attitude was obviously much better than Pietro's. I don't know if it was because same-sex people repel each other and opposite-sex people attract each other.
"It's very simple. I came here specifically to win you over to join Zhenglian!"
Russell said with a sincere face.
"Join Zhenglian? If you want us to work hard for the United States, don't even think about it!"
As soon as Russell finished speaking, Pietro said with disgust on his face.
I really want to beat him up!
After seeing the expression on Pietro's face and the contemptuous tone, Russell couldn't help but think of beating Pietro.
Although Pietro is now in his twenties, for some reason, Russell always feels that this guy is almost like a minor, and he is still the kind of minor who is in the rebellious stage.
"Saving your life for America?"
"No, you are overthinking! When did you see Zheng Lian working hard for the United States? You can't help but see what the relationship between Zheng Lian and the American official is."
Russell suppressed the thought of beating Pietro in his mind and said slowly.
"Who knows if you are doing one thing on the surface and another secretly? Your octopus industry has provided weapons to the American military."
Pietro's tone was still extremely contemptuous.
"Little guy, don't take my politeness as an opportunity to kick your nose in the face. If you continue to sneer at me, I don't guarantee what will happen later!"
Although his current body is not much older than Pietro, and may even be a year or two younger than Pietro, Russell still decided to call Pietro the little guy.
Because no matter how you look at it, Pietro now looks like a child who hasn't grown up.
Even underage Peter feels much more mature than Pietro.
"Do you still want to..."
Pietro did not take Russell's warning to heart and continued.
However, before he finished speaking, he felt Russell's amazing momentum that he no longer wanted to hide it, and he swallowed back the rest of his words.
In terms of age, Russell is indeed young now, only in his early twenties.
But don't forget, before he used his identity as a superhero to whitewash himself, he was a notorious killer traveler in the New York underworld.
Not counting the people he killed after becoming a superhero with the serum and the Chitauri warriors and Vanguards he killed a few days ago, during his time as a killer alone, more than a thousand people on earth died at his hands.
In other words, he is a cold-blooded killer in the true sense, with his hands stained with the blood of innocent people and killing people without blinking an eye.
Not to mention Pietro, who had never killed anyone, even elite veterans of the American military might not be able to withstand Russell's momentum of no longer concealing himself.
When Pietro shut up, Russell regained his composure and returned to his harmless and friendly appearance.
"I know you will definitely have a lot of questions now, and no matter how I explain, you may not believe me."
"So, I plan to use practical actions to prove my sincerity."
"Wanda, you should have mastered the ability to read other people's thoughts by now. I can let you read my thoughts to see if I am lying."
Russell said with a serious face.
Before learning magic from Ancient One, he would not have dared to let others read his thoughts, especially when he had so many secrets.
But after learning magic, he didn't mind using this method to let Wanda see his sincerity.
Wanda does have the ability to telepathize, but Kama Taj's magic also has many defense methods related to psychic magic.
Although Gu Yi suspended his magic learning course, Russell found some means of defense against psychic magic in those entry-level magic books.
Although it has not been tested yet, he is confident that he will only let Wanda see the information that he wants Wanda to see.
Of course, this is related to the fact that Wanda has not completely mastered chaos magic yet.
If Wanda had already mastered chaos magic, he would not dare to do this.
Although chaos magic and Kama Taj's magic are not the same system, they both belong to the field of magic.
If Wanda has mastered chaos magic, she will be able to spot the little tricks Russell did at a glance.
Neither Pietro nor Wanda expected that Russell would actually say such a thing.
After making eye contact for a few seconds, Wanda looked at Russell seriously and said slowly: "Okay!"
"Then come on!"
After saying that, Russell put his hands behind his back with a natural expression, as if he would never take action.
In fact, he really had no idea of taking action.
After using his body to block the sight of Wanda and Pietro, his hands quietly completed the spell-casting gesture, adding protection to his brain and heart.
Although he doesn't know much psychic magic now, for example, he doesn't know mind-reading, which is a representative spell in psychic magic.
However, this does not prevent him from adding magical protection to his brain and mind.
Just because he can't read minds doesn't mean he doesn't know how to resist mind reading.
