"Tch!"
Like a tsundere youth whose secrets had been exposed, King Kong gave Pietro the middle finger, then used sign language to retort:
"How's your new ability coming along?
If you need me to help you temper your physical strength, just say the word."
Seeing this, Pietro quickly waved his hand in refusal, saying:
"Spare me, please. Although my physical strength has improved significantly, it's still far from being able to withstand that kind of attack."
"Tch, you weakling, you're far behind Karl."
King Kong stuck out his tongue and gave Pietro the middle finger again.
"You…"
Pietro's mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't refute it.
Since he successfully 'awakened' his super speed ability more than a month ago, he had started a frantic special training mode in the days that followed.
Through testing, Pietro gradually figured out the limits of his current abilities.
When he has enough energy stored in his body, he can run continuously at a speed of 170 kilometers per hour for about an hour and a half.
Then, he only needs to slow down and briefly replenish his energy to continue the next round of running.
In addition to this.
Through testing with professional equipment.
His current metabolism has reached about 15 times that of an ordinary person.
This gives him a rapid healing ability beyond normal human levels, and his body does not produce corresponding toxins due to fatigue.
Of course.
This healing ability, based on increased metabolism, has not reached the extent of Wolverine's, which is beyond the scope of humans.
It's just that the recovery speed is several times faster than ordinary people.
But even so, Pietro was ecstatic.
Because he knew very well that this was just the beginning, not his true limit.
He firmly believed that he could reach a higher level through training.
At that time, he could go out with Frank, Zemo, and King Kong to perform tasks for Karl.
But the surprises didn't stop there.
As time went on.
Pietro soon discovered that his physical strength… more precisely, the density of his skin, muscles, and bones, was also constantly increasing along with the growth of the 'Speed Force'.
Although the growth was relatively slow, in just over a month, Pietro's skin was already able to withstand direct scratches from ordinary blades.
Only a shallow white scratch would be left on the surface of the skin.
And this change is still ongoing.
This was undoubtedly great news for Pietro.
Because when the density of skin, muscles, and bones increases to a certain level, it also means that in the future, he can be like a super-fast tank in battle, ignoring the threat of any bullets and other attacks, and recklessly rampage.
The only drawback is that, at this stage, in order to maintain a higher metabolism in the body and the huge energy consumed in training.
Pietro needs at least eight large meals a day to maintain his condition at a relatively normal level.
"Handsome, I'm hungry again. Let's talk next time."
Pietro waved his hand, and then his figure turned into a series of white phantoms, and he quickly swept towards the mountain top base.
Just after he left, a figure emitting golden light slowly fell from the sky.
"Handsome, Pietro's superpowers have successfully awakened?"
Karl looked at the direction where Pietro disappeared in surprise, and asked King Kong.
Obviously, in the process of rushing over.
He had already seen the "Speed Force" used by Pietro when he left.
King Kong directly replied with telepathy: "That's right, but he's still a weakling."
Karl couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and felt happy for the successful awakening of his future brother-in-law's superpowers.
In this way, he no longer has to worry about Pietro's psychological problems.
It can be regarded as a wish.
Then Karl turned his attention to Godzilla in the distance.
The opponent's huge body was lying on the ground, looking like a rocky mountain from a distance.
Due to the previous battles with the Supreme Muto, Godzilla's body was already scarred and covered with hideous wounds.
Even the extremely hard dorsal fins on his back were damaged in many places.
Presumably, after this battle, Godzilla will need to hibernate for at least several years to regrow those damaged dorsal fins, right?
"Handsome, hasn't Godzilla woken up yet?"
"No, it just woke up, and then I knocked it out again."
King Kong shook his small mountain-like fist with a proud face, and then complained with telepathy:
"Karl, why do we have to bring this old guy back when he's so weak?
Also... is he going to live here with me in the future? This place is so small, it can't fit two people at all."
Obviously, Karl's special attention to Godzilla has aroused the jealousy of the handsome classmate, fearing that he will be neglected because of this.
Karl naturally sensed its thoughts, and immediately said with a bit of amusement:
"Don't worry, Godzilla probably won't choose to stay in 【Sokovia】."
"But don't underestimate its strength…"
"The reason why Godzilla was beaten so badly by the Supreme Muto before was because it was restrained by the 【Electromagnetic Pulse】.
So that its unique skill 【Atomic Breath】 could not be used normally, but there is no such restriction when fighting other Titan monsters."
"So, its strength is still very strong."
"And for us, developing Godzilla into an ally is more in line with future interests than treating it as an enemy."
Even though King Kong is just a Titan, Karl is still willing to tell it his true thoughts.
Whether or not it can understand is King Kong's business.
But whether to say it or not involves Karl's principles of being a human being!
For one's own people, if one cannot treat each other with sincerity, then sooner or later they will be alienated.
King Kong obviously couldn't fully understand the true meaning of the word "ally" for the time being, so it scratched its head and said with a puzzled look:
"That is to say, I can't fight it in the future, I can only beat others with it, right?"
"Uh... it can also be understood that way."
Karl turned his gaze back to Godzilla, who was in a coma, and shook his head helplessly.
Handsome's attack was not light or heavy, and I don't know how long it will take for it to wake up this time.
…………
……
【. Headquarters】.
Nick Fury's office was filled with furious roars and dull impacts of various objects hitting the bulletproof glass.
"Those wastes from 【Monarch】 actually sat back and watched Karl Malla take Godzilla back to 【Sokovia】?"
"Didn't they say that the big lizard is the guardian deity in their hearts? Why didn't they stop Karl Malla's actions in time?"
A few tens of minutes ago, when 【.】 employees searched for the picture of Godzilla appearing in 【Sokovia Kingdom】 through monitoring satellites, they quickly reported the news to Nick Fury.
So he was directly broken by anger "again".
Jealousy and resentment towards Karl had already made him unrecognizable.
And kept cursing in his heart, those stupid high-level officials who excluded 【.】 from the list of "handling the crisis events caused by Titan creatures and Kaiju".
Because Nick Fury always firmly believed that Karl Malla, this dangerous, ambitious "unstable factor", will inevitably become the biggest hidden danger threatening the safety of the earth and mankind in the future!
Just.
Even if he hates it so much that his teeth itch.
But besides cursing Karl, who doesn't exist in the void, with the most vicious curses in the office, he has no way to deal with the other party at all.
Such an aggrieved situation.
The situation made Nick Fury, who had always been accustomed to covering the sky with one hand, live in self-torture every day.
This feeling is more unbearable than directly killing him with a knife.
"No, this time I definitely can't just let it go."
A grim look appeared on Nick Fury's face, and he immediately ordered the adjutant Maria Hill, who had hidden in the corner to watch coldly at some point:
"You immediately contact Serizawa Ichiro and tell him... 【.】 is willing to jointly file a serious protest with the 【Security Council】 with 【Monarch】. This time, no matter what, Godzilla must not fall into the hands of Karl Malla! !"
…………
……
【Monarch Headquarters】.
At this moment, those who are also feeling anxious and uneasy are a group of 【Monarch】 high-level officials headed by Serizawa Ichiro.
After learning that Godzilla was finally brought to 【Sokovia】.
Serizawa immediately gathered all the core members, wanting to discuss the next countermeasures.
No matter what, he can't allow Godzilla to be Karl Malla... no, it should be possessed by any individual or organization other than 【Monarch】.
Because in his eyes, 【King of the Monsters】 is the guardian deity of all mankind, and is sacred and inviolable! !
So he absolutely cannot tolerate Godzilla being reduced to a private pet like King Kong.
That's right, absolutely not! !
But the question is, how are they going to rescue Godzilla from Karl's clutches?
On the one hand, the power of Karl and King Kong is obvious to all, which means that it is basically impossible to use force to coerce them.
On the other hand, if you want to persuade the other party to hand over Godzilla through negotiation, then you will have to pay a corresponding price.
But no one dares to guarantee whether 【Monarch】 can afford this price.
If measured in money, then how much is Godzilla worth?
If Serizawa and other high-level officials were to answer this question, then they would definitely say "priceless".
But if it is replaced by Karl, let alone "priceless", even if they want them to have hundreds of billions, they will feel that the other party is asking for a big price and is unacceptable.
What's more, Karl, who has trillions of assets, cares about that little money?
So the way to solve the problem through negotiation is mostly impossible.
For a time, the atmosphere in the conference room became extremely tense.
Several high-level officials frowned deeply and remained silent.
Only Emma Russell's expression was a little relaxed, and in the depths of her eyes, a trace of imperceptible schadenfreude would flash from time to time.
"It's unbelievable."
Vivienne Graham stared at the map software on her mobile phone and exclaimed in disbelief: "Teacher, does that Karl Malla know magic?
Otherwise, I can't imagine how he can cross more than 8,000 kilometers in less than a day and silently transport Godzilla from 【Montana】 back to 【Sokovia】?"
Serizawa Ichiro's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he reprimanded with a gloomy face:
"Vivienne, I don't care how he transported Godzilla back, I just want to know what method can be used to get Godzilla out of 【Sokovia】!"
"In this regard, does anyone have any good ideas?"
Then, he looked at the people in the conference room for help.
"The method of using force to coerce should not work."
Monarch's chief geologist, and also a staunch supporter of the "Hollow Earth Theory", David Lind, shook his head helplessly, "Even 【.】 can't do anything about that superpower, let alone us."
"Then you mean, we have to watch Godzilla become that guy's private pet?"
A person in charge named Coleman retorted angrily: "Even if I die, I will never allow that kind of thing to happen. Godzilla belongs to our 【Monarch】…"
Emma Russell glanced at Serizawa Ichiro without a trace, and then said in a strange way:
"Why not just drop a nuclear bomb on 【Sokovia】? Anyway, Godzilla will be fine, and it can also help it recover from its injuries."
If such a heaven-defying remark were made in normal times, it would definitely be unanimously rejected by everyone.
But now that Godzilla is involved, those who are eager to help Godzilla regain its freedom actually feel that it is not impossible to use this method to threaten them first?
"Absolutely not."
Serizawa Ichiro was immediately taken aback by such an anti-human proposal.
But what really made him feel terrible was that he noticed that many people in the high-level actually acquiesced to this state.
Are you guys going to be so outrageous?
This is obviously a very bad sign.
So he quickly interrupted and said: "Neither the 【Security Council】 nor the 【Department of Defense】 will agree to such a decision."
"Hmph, why do we need the consent of those fools?" Emma Russell pretended to be aggressive and immediately questioned:
"Those superiors can't wait for someone to be able to control Godzilla and then help them kill their Titan beasts…"
Dr. Serizawa, as the leader of Monarch, it's time you showed the outside world some teeth!
