Chapter 265 Men's Desire to Win (Seeking Completeness)
Chapter 265 A man’s desire to win (please order the full version!)
Wanda and Pietro didn't notice Russell's little move.
After looking at each other and exchanging glances, Wanda walked slowly towards Russell.
The distance of five meters is neither long nor short.
When Wanda came to him, Russell had already added more than three layers of protection to his brain and heart.
Normally, he only needs to add a layer of protection to himself.
After all, Wanda has not mastered chaos magic yet.
But for safety reasons, he still added a few more layers of protection.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!
Who knows if Wanda can instinctively cast chaos magic unconsciously.
As a former killer, Russell still has this kind of caution.
Caution is a required course for every killer.
For killers who fail to pass this required course, the grass on their graves is now one meter high.
Arriving in front of Russell, the pretty Wanda looked at Russell cautiously.
After seeing the completely harmless expression on Russell's face, Wanda slowly raised her right hand.
When she raised her right hand, a strange crimson light began to shine in her right hand.
After seeing Wanda's right hand shrouded in crimson energy, Russell subconsciously sensed the energy in Wanda's right hand using the method of sensing magic.
Not magic!
As a trainee mage who has not yet officially graduated, but is already no worse than the official mage of Karma Taj, Russell immediately confirmed that the energy covering Wanda's right hand was not magic.
This is a good sign!
It is not magic, which means that Wanda has not mastered chaos magic yet, and it also means that she cannot discover the magical protection she added to her brain and heart.
"Are you sure you want me to read your thoughts?"
After raising her right hand, Wanda asked again.
"Of course, this is the best way to prove that I have no ill intentions and show my sincerity!"
Russell smiled and replied.
After confirming that the crimson energy in Wanda's right hand was not magic, he let go of the last bit of worry in his heart.
"Then I'll start!"
Wanda's big Kazlan eyes scanned Russell's face and she said seriously.
"bring it on!"
As soon as Russell finished speaking, Wanda's right hand began to approach his temple.
The crimson energy wrapped around his white right hand floated towards his head like smoke.
Then, it poured into his head.
The moment the crimson energy entered his brain, Russell felt a similar feeling of establishing a spiritual connection with other symbionts.
The only difference is that when establishing a spiritual connection with other symbionts, he is the one who takes the dominant position.
But now, the person in the dominant position is Wanda.
Although Russell had repeatedly stated that he did not mind having his thoughts examined, Wanda still had some distrust before the crimson energy entered Russell's brain.
In her opinion, Russell, who was once a famous killer and now a famous superhero, must have many secrets.
This means that Russell, who has many secrets, will never let others check his true thoughts.
However, she did not expect that Russell would actually let her check her true thoughts.
Wanda is not a rookie with little social experience. She has followed her brother Pietro in various protests since she was a child. She knows very well how sinister society is, and she also knows very well how deep the disguise of those who appear to be kind is.
When she began to use her telepathic ability to check Russell's true thoughts, she unexpectedly discovered that Russell, who she and Pietro had always thought was in cahoots with Tony, was actually a good person.
Although Russell did not deliberately resist Wanda's inspection of his thoughts, he was not worried at all that Wanda could see the pictures that he did not want Wanda to see.
For example, there are various ideas such as playing Ludo with Wanda, becoming Pietro's brother-in-law, and giving Pietro a good beating.
After only three or four seconds, Wanda ended checking Russell's true thoughts.
In the real world, three or four seconds is not considered a long time at all, and it cannot even be used to finish speaking a longer sentence.
But in the world of consciousness, three or four seconds is long enough for Wanda to watch an entire movie.
The crimson energy covering Wanda's right hand disappeared, and Wanda slowly retracted her right hand, with an unexpected expression on her beautiful and delicate face.
After the inspection just now, she had "confirmed" that Russell did not have any ill intentions towards her and Pietro.
Not only that, she even took the time to find out the truth about the Battle of New York and the true relationship between Russell and Tony.
After using her own superpower to confirm Russell's "real" thoughts, Wanda felt that she and Pietro had indeed made some mistakes in blaming Russell.
Wanda showed a charming smile and nodded towards Russell.
Then, he turned back to Pietro.
After whispering to Pietro the results she had checked, Wanda no longer looked at Russell with any vigilance or fear in her eyes.
After listening to Wanda's story, Pietro also showed a surprised expression.
Like Wanda, Pietro did not expect that Russell would sincerely win them over to join Zhenglian.
After a few seconds of silence, Pietro slowly said: "I believe what you just said is true, but if you want us to join Zhenglian, you must let us know the benefits of joining Zhenglian!
"
"Although Baron Strucker is not a good person, he did give us the power we wanted."
After hearing Pietro's words, Russell first removed the magical protection he had added to his brain and heart.
Then, he said with a smile: "What Baron Strucker can give you, I can give you the same, or even more."
"Also, to correct you, your superpowers were not given to you by Baron Strucker, they are innate to you."
"What he did was just awaken the superpowers that were already in your body in advance."
Innate superpower?
Although Wanda and Pietro learned a lot about superpowers with the help of Baron Strucker, their understanding of superpowers is still very shallow.
The most obvious thing is that they have no idea where their superpowers come from.
Baron Strucker's human experiments can indeed create some artificial superpowers.
But those superpowers are similar to the batch of super soldiers under General Ross who were injected with the enhanced serum from the Octopus Monster laboratory. They are only slightly stronger than ordinary people and cannot compete with real superpowers.
"How do you know this? You don't know us at all?"
Pietro still didn't quite believe Russell.
Although Wanda had just told him that Russell was trustworthy, he still had an almost instinctive distrust of Russell.
"I know you better than you think. Otherwise, I would not invite you to join Zhenglian."
Russell said calmly.
"Even if what you say is right, I still don't believe you can give us what we want."
"In addition, since you said you know us well, you should know our views on Tony Stark. Aren't you worried that we will cause you trouble after joining the Zhenglian?"
Pietro continued.
"Of course I know why you hate Tony, but have you ever thought about it, Stark Industries is just a weapons manufacturer."
"You can't hate the inventor and manufacturer of a certain weapon just because your parents were killed by it."
"According to your thinking, those who have lost family members due to traffic accidents should also go to the car manufacturers for revenge."
Russell can understand that Stark Industries' missiles have left an indelible psychological shadow on Pietro and Wanda.
But he couldn't agree with Pietro and Wanda's idea of going to Tony for revenge.
If it was Tony himself who caused the death of their parents, he would definitely not mind the two brothers and sisters seeking revenge from Tony.
"You are friends with Tony Stark, of course you will speak for him!"
Pietro said disdainfully.
"This has nothing to do with whether Tony and I are friends, but because your idea is wrong."
"Think about it from another perspective, if your parents were still alive, do you think they would approve of your current thoughts?"
If possible, Russell wouldn't want to do any psychological counseling for Pietro.
But the problem is, if he doesn't solve this problem, even if Pietro and Wanda really join the Zhenglian, they may not know when they will go to Tony for revenge.
For safety reasons, he felt it necessary to correct their misconceptions before taking them back to New York.
"You don't need to say it. After all, you just want to persuade us to give up revenge!"
The hostility reappeared on Pietro's face.
Why is this guy so stubborn!
After seeing Pietro's undisguised hostile expression, Russell sighed helplessly.
never mind!
Let’s use the simplest way to solve this problem!
Russell decisively gave up the idea of persuading Pietro with words.
When he changed his mind, Pietro immediately noticed the change in his momentum and asked with a vigilant look: "What do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? I want to convince you in another way!"
Russell moved his hands in front of Pietro.
At the same time, he said slowly: "Look at your sister Wanda, she is not as rigid as you."
After speaking, Russell raised his right hand and pointed at Wanda, who was thoughtful.
Although Wanda was meeting Russell for the first time, unlike Pietro, after personally checking the information in Russell's mind, she trusted Russell more than Pietro.
More importantly, she is a woman, and she has no instinctive same-sex repulsion towards Russell.
In addition, after Russell patiently explained it, she felt that what Russell said made sense.
After hearing Russell's reminder, Pietro turned to look at Wanda and found that there was indeed no hostility on Wanda's face, and there was even a hint of recognition in her expression.
After discovering this, Pietro suddenly had a strange feeling that his dependent sister had been abducted by Russell.
Then, the look he looked at Russell became even more sinister.
Russell completely ignored the unkindness in Pietro's eyes and said unhurriedly: "You and I are both men. Since you don't agree with what I said, we will use the most primitive way to resolve our disputes.
"
"Don't worry, I won't use other abilities to bully you. I will only use your super speed to decide the outcome."
"I win. You, Wanda, and I will go back to New York and join Zhenglian together."
"If you win, you can leave with Wanda at any time. Whether you want to take revenge on Tony or assassinate the President of the United States, I will not stop you."
After hearing Russell's words, Pietro fell silent.
Although Pietro feels that his super speed is not weaker than anyone else's super power, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can beat Russell.
Although there is no so-called superhero strength ranking, many news media have already called Russell the strongest hero.
After thinking for a few seconds, Pietro said slowly: "I accept your challenge!"
challenge?
Now that we have reached this point, why don’t we forget to take advantage verbally?
Russell shook his head helplessly.
Although he didn't really like Pietro calling the upcoming battle a challenge, Russell didn't care about this small problem.
"Then let's get started!"
After speaking, Russell did not immediately use his super speed, but made a gesture of invitation to Pietro.
Although he didn't know what Pietro's maximum speed was, judging from how Pietro was running with Wanda in his arms just now, Pietro's current maximum speed would not exceed Mach 10.
Pietro was not polite to Russell, and instantly entered a state of extreme speed, disappearing as if teleporting.
"Wait for us here, we will decide the winner soon!"
Russell did not chase Pietro immediately, but said to Wanda, who had a confused look on her face.
In Wanda's expression of "Did I miss something?", Russell's legs suddenly exerted force, leaving a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter on the ground, and disappeared from Wanda's sight in an instant.
Wanda is not a man, and she can't understand why Russell and Pietro, who were talking so well just now, suddenly decided to use their super powers to decide the outcome.
Is this what men call the desire to win?
This thought flashed through Wanda's mind.
Although Pietro started earlier than him, Russell was not worried that Pietro would pull away in one go.
He had already initially experienced Pietro's extreme speed just now.
If Pietro hadn't deliberately kept his hand just now, the winner of this competition would have been decided in less than a minute.
Russell first used his super vision and far vision to lock Pietro's position, and then started to accelerate unreasonably.
Mach 1, Mach 3, Mach 5, Mach 7...
In just two or three seconds, Russell accelerated from a standstill to a top speed of Mach 7.
If it weren't for the biological force field on his body that cannot be explained by science, when he ran through the forest at a speed that far exceeded the limit of detection by the naked eye, the place he passed would become a mess.
In just a blink of an eye, he, who started late, caught up with Pietro, who was running at full speed.
In order to facilitate his communication with Pietro, he raised his right hand and threw a sound transmission magic on Pietro's body.
He and Pietro have now entered a state of extreme speed, and their voices cannot catch up with their speed at all.
Without the use of sound transmission magic, he would have no way to communicate with Pietro now.
"Is this your full speed?"
After walking side by side with Pietro, Russell's voice came directly to Pietro's ears through sound transmission magic.
"Full speed? Don't underestimate me!"
Pietro replied dissatisfied.
"Yeah?"
Russell said as he approached Pietro.
Then, his right foot stumbled towards Pietro unexpectedly.
this……
Pietro never expected that Russell would use hooligan-like stumbling tactics at this time.
Although he has noticed Russell's intention, Pietro now has no chance to avoid it.
As a result, Pietro, who was running at top speed, bumped into Russell's right foot without any suspense.
Then, the body suddenly lost its balance and rolled forward under the action of inertia.
Bang!
Pietro, who was tripped, tumbled tens of meters away, hit a big tree with two people hugging each other, and stopped in a state of embarrassment.
After seeing Pietro's embarrassed appearance at this time, Russell's mood did not fluctuate at all, and the scene of Barry Allen in The Flash being tripped every now and then flashed through his mind.
A speedster who has never been tripped is not a qualified speedster!
Although he was in a calm mood, Russell did not waste the opportunity of Pietro being tripped.
When Pietro was enduring the pain caused by the roll and impact, Russell came to him in an instant, grabbed Pietro by the collar, and lifted him up.
"you lose!"
Russell said calmly.
"No, I didn't, this is all yours..."
Pietro began to argue.
However, Russell did not give him a chance to finish his words and interrupted his defense.
"Why, you're already in your twenties, and you can't even admit the truth?"
"If you are really such a person, then I withdraw my offer to invite you to join Zhenglian, because you are not worthy!"
Although the contact time was short, Russell had already roughly figured out Pietro's character.
To put it simply, Pietro is the kind of guy who takes the hard and doesn't take the soft.
The more polite you are to him, the easier it is for him to get in trouble with you!
So when dealing with Pietro, the tougher you are, the better the effect will be.
After hearing Russell's words, Pietro closed his mouth unwillingly and looked at Russell with an unconvinced face.
