"That idiot actually gathered all the Sentinels in one place."
Putting away his Mouth Cannon, the sky was instantly clear. The Sentinel Robots that had been densely packed moments before were all reduced to nothingness under Adam's attack.
Not even a speck of dust remained.
If these Sentinel Robots had been too scattered, with space sealed off, it would have taken him some effort to deal with them.
This way, he saved a lot of trouble.
All the spectators and competitors below, including Thor, Black Captain Marvel, and Loki, all gaped, their jaws seemingly on the floor.
And inside HYDRA's Base, Pierce and the high-ranking officials were like they had been hit by Petrificus Totalus, their eyes glazed over, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Impossible! How is this possible?!"
"Terrifying, absolutely terrifying!"
After they reacted, their bodies all trembled.
Now, Adam had been thoroughly offended.
"This Base is probably exposed. Pack up all important data, especially research data on Sentinel Robots. We are evacuating immediately.
Also, send out a notice at once, inform other leaders, and order all HYDRA members to enter a complete silent state!"
Pierce slumped into the chair behind him.
Originally, he knew that although Adam and S.H.I.E.L.D. cooperated, their relationship wasn't particularly close; each had their guard up.
Now, after this, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't bother them, Adam would.
And with the strength Adam displayed, if he came after them, they would surely die.
"HYDRA, huh? It seems it's time to deal with you all."
On the island, after destroying all the Sentinel Robots, Adam returned to his normal form and raised his hand to dismiss the Super Shield Charm.
"There was a small interlude. I hope everyone doesn't mind."
The recovering audience immediately cheered loudly.
"It's also an unexpected gain; my Justice Value actually increased quite a bit."
Because he eliminated the Sentinel Robots and saved everyone on the island, Adam found that the Justice Value progress bar on his panel had advanced considerably, and he was only one-tenth away from unlocking a new protagonist template.
"Susan, organize everyone to return safely. I'll be right back."
After instructing Susan below, Adam quickly flew towards a hidden cave somewhere on the island.
During his battle with the Sentinel Robots, he had already sensed the location of the interfering machine through spatial energy.
"Who's there?"
The HYDRA Agent operating the machine in the cave, upon seeing Adam suddenly appear at the entrance, immediately pulled out his weapon, ready to shoot.
But in the next second, he found he couldn't move.
"Human Path."
Adam placed his hand on the HYDRA Agent's head, activating the Human Path ability of his Rinnegan. The Agent's soul was instantly extracted, and all information about HYDRA was read by Adam.
"I found you!"
After learning the location of Pierce's current Base, Adam stepped forward and shut down the quantum interference machine.
He first returned to the wooden tower to retrieve his Adamantium briefcase, then used Apparition to arrive at the city closest to the HYDRA Base where Pierce was hiding.
Originally, he hadn't paid much attention to the menace of HYDRA. On one hand, it was to keep S.H.I.E.L.D. in check, preventing Nick Fury from constantly focusing his attention on him.
On the other hand, he was too busy Training and simply didn't have the time. HYDRA was spread across the World, and even if he personally intervened, it wouldn't be possible to eradicate them all in a short time.
Moreover, they hadn't offended him.
His principle had always been: as long as they didn't offend him, and there was no personal gain, he wouldn't go out of his way to painstakingly hunt down or attack anyone.
He had the mindset of a normal person; he was neither a saint nor a villain.
HYDRA was like a notorious criminal.
If a normal person encountered a criminal in the act, they would certainly intervene if they had the ability.
However, if they only saw it on the news, apart from the Police, or if the government offered a high reward, what normal person would neglect their own affairs every day to search for this criminal?
Adam's decision to eliminate HYDRA now was not just because HYDRA dared to cause trouble during his ability user convention, causing him to lose face.
More importantly, he didn't want HYDRA to spread the Sentinel Robot technology.
Although he easily dealt with tens of thousands of Sentinel Robots, that didn't mean Sentinel Robots were weak.
Even a single Sentinel Robot posed a huge threat to ordinary people and even armies.
Except for those like Thor or Black Captain Marvel, others would find it quite challenging to deal with them.
After this incident, every country and organization, as long as they had even a little ambition, would covet the manufacturing technology of Sentinel Robots.
If not dealt with promptly, the entire World might fall into chaos, or even war.
This was not what he wanted to see.
Moreover, the black technology of the Marvel Universe always managed to be surprising. Perhaps some genius scientist could be inspired by the Sentinel and invent some terrifying black-tech weapon.
So, it was better to prevent it in advance and keep it in his own hands.
It was also a good opportunity to capture all of HYDRA's scientists and have them research gravity technology for him.
"Oh, you're quite vigilant. If I had been any slower, you might have actually escaped."
In the mountains of a remote small country, Adam looked down at the HYDRA Base below, and the helicopter that had just taken off from the Base's rooftop, a cold smile on his face.
With a flash of Shadow, he was already beneath the helicopter, then reached out and grabbed it. No matter how the helicopter tried to fly, it remained motionless.
"What's going on? Hurry up and go! Why are we stopped?"
Pierce, who was inside the helicopter, contemplating his subsequent salvage plan, frowned when he realized the helicopter hadn't taken off.
The pilot in front was also completely bewildered; no matter how he tried to operate the takeoff, the helicopter remained exactly where it was.
"Lord, it… it seems the helicopter has a problem."
"Then quickly get another one!"
For some reason, Pierce suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"No need to change. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Pierce."
Just then, the entire helicopter suddenly split in two from the middle, and a familiar voice entered his ears.
"Boom!"
The helicopter crashed onto the rooftop. Pierce scrambled out in a panic. When he saw Adam standing before him, his hair stood on end, and his heart turned ice cold.
"I think we can talk; we can discuss things calmly."
"No need. I prefer this way."
Adam smiled and placed his hand on Pierce's head, activating Human Path to extract his soul.
