At the Buster Building, after Dr. Reed took over the research, the research on reversing the corruption of human souls also quickly yielded results!
Although it is not enough for humans to ignore the process of corruption, Dr. Reed first obtained results from the body of the Blade Warrior!
That's something like a vaccine!
Or it's okay to say it's a "human being's temporary vampire-turning serum".
After this thing is injected into the human body, it will not immediately take effect and turn humans into vampire-like beings, but will temporarily lurk.
When the human soul becomes corrupted, these vampire powers will begin to play a role and immediately devour the original part when the corruption begins!
Of course, this is just an emergency thing, after all, the corrupted part is the soul! Losing a small part of one's soul is definitely not an insignificant thing for a human being.
But this is indeed an effective way to prevent important people from the worst situation of becoming a demon.
"This thing can only go so far. Unless I really study the principle that allows humans to have the soul-devouring power of vampires, otherwise this is the best result." Dr. Reed is giving everyone in the office Report.
Dr. Reed determined that vampires are extremely resistant to the effects of corruption, but the easiest way to give humans this power is to turn humans into vampires.
Although vampires of Accardo's lineage do not have to live on blood, they still have impulses when facing blood.
This is a biological hunting instinct, but it is not necessary.
Dr. Reed is currently planning to conduct an in-depth analysis of the power of vampires, but this approach was rejected by Silas Victoria.
This power comes from Accardo, not Dracula now.
Although the two should essentially be regarded as the same existence, Dracula and Accardo cannot be generalized.
"It's enough to be able to do this. What we need most now is something that can resist corruption." Nick Fury said seriously.
He just has a stronger desire to control, it's not that he can't distinguish between good and bad.
It is an objective fact that good intentions lead to bad things, but there is nothing that should be questioned about Nick Fury's determination to protect mankind.
"We need to arm more people now, which Tony can do, and we can also rely on Ms. Vera's power." Dr. Reed took out a box that had not been added with a hatred value from the box on one side. grenade.
"In terms of processing the appearance of these little guys, the advantages of mechanization are self-evident. By processing the appearance, we can increase the output of Ms. Vera's unique weapon by more than ten times." Reed was very serious. said.
If Vera's hatred value didn't take time to recover, this efficiency improvement would be even more terrifying.
Of course, the efficiency gap between standard equipment and hand-made equipment cannot be just more than ten times. It is only limited by Vera's own situation that led to the current situation.
"So can this kind of processing be replaced by other energy sources?" Nick Fury asked.
"This is what I was going to say. Other energies can also have an effect, but they are not as lethal to demons as the hatred value." Dr. Reed said.
Tony on the side manipulated a bunch of mechanical arms to move a machine in, then took out an Ark reactor and placed it directly at the location of the energy source.
"Using the energy provided by the Ark Reactor, this grenade is about twenty times more lethal than the previous one, but the damage range has not changed." Tony said as he placed the grenade in Reed's hand on the processing table. superior.
A burst of light was mechanically fired onto the grenade, and the next moment the lines on the surface of the grenade were lit up with energy.
"The lethality I'm talking about is the impact on targets within the range. This energy-filled grenade will first kill everything within the range with fragments and impact just like a conventional grenade.
Then comes the explosion of energy. The intensity of this energy can reach the peak of the energy supplied by the Ark reactor in a short period of time. According to our experiments, it can cause huge damage even to warrior-level demons. "
As Tony spoke, he directly used projection technology to play the images of the experiment.
This warrior-level demon was captured by Rumlow and the others.
In the picture, this warrior demon showed disdain for the mines at first.
But the next moment, there was a scream under the lethality of this new type of grenade!
Demons will learn from failures and lessons. It's not like they haven't seen the power of grenades in battles with humans before.
They have even seen the grenades processed by Vera.
So when faced with this new type of grenade, this warrior demon showed disdain.
Of course, the grenade processed by Vera himself can directly kill warrior-level demons, but there is still a gap in the lethality of the two.
But judging from the current situation, this kind of grenade that can be manufactured at a faster speed is more suitable for direct installation into the human team!
"This may be the best news I have heard in these days." Nick Fury said as he looked at the Warrior Demon who died completely under the lethality of the second grenade.
"I'm worried that the demons will learn from our methods to make similar weapons. I've asked the Nephalem. Demons can also instill their own power into modern weapons." Tony said seriously.
The devil has never been a representative of stupidity.
They are treacherous and cunning, and are no less intelligent than humans.
The reason why they did not embark on the road of technology was actually that they did not need such weapons in the past.
When humankind's thermal weapon technology was in its infancy, it was not enough to have any impact on demons.
Only now do thermal weapons of this level really have an impact on the existence of demons. If nothing else happens, demons will soon focus on the technology of thermal weapons, and will even use their methods to learn or even transform them!
"If we don't want to face the army of demons who also have technology, the best thing to do is to deal with the demons immediately, right?" Nick Fury rubbed his temples and said.
"We can't guarantee how long it will take the demons to master the technology we already have, but I think judging from the way the demons can master the soul, it won't be too troublesome for them to directly corrupt a group of first-class technical talents. It even only requires a few plans. If there is an attack on the human military industry, they will be able to piece together their own weapons production line."
Tony's face looked a little ugly, because he knew very well that he was not being alarmist!
"Then the serum that can resist corruption must be given priority to those scientists?" Nick Fury said.
"In fact we all know this is impossible." Reid gave the answer.
"How many scientists are there in human beings? Corruption can probably be resisted with the power of serum, but there cannot be some people who are greedy for life and fear of death among scientists. As long as there is such a guy, it is inevitable that the devil will control a weapons production line. .”
Reed told this somewhat disappointing news.
"And we can't choose to gather all the scientists together, because we simply don't have that much defense force and enough places for all the scientists to conduct research."
Tony said.
Nick Fury felt that the situation was once again beyond his control.
The only thing that can be considered good news is that the trouble this time is not caused by him.
"First arm General Ross's team. The army is the most suitable entity for using modern weapons. As for those heroes, I have a less mature plan." Nick Fury said.
"Do you want to seek help from the Nephalem? For example, let them help us provide training and equipment for these hero teams?" Tony asked.
"Not only that, if possible, I even hope that these heroes will all become guys like Rumlow and Steve." Nick Fury said.
His eyes were a little red when he said these words.
From the beginning, Nick Fury did not want too many Nephalems to exist among humans. Although Nick Fury was not a "pure humanist", he was wary of all unfamiliar existences.
But concerns about the weakness of human power forced him to embark on a path that was somewhat eager for quick success. This is the truth why Nick Fury always causes trouble.
He faced dangerous things that were difficult for humans to fight against, and there was no time for him to act steadily!
Any moment of falling behind is, in Nick Fury's eyes, a sign that may lead to the destruction of mankind!
What really makes Nick Fury anxious is the sense of crisis that the human race may perish!
He had to be quick and quick!
Even if he fails ten thousand times and brings about ten thousand heavy losses, as long as human power can become stronger than before amid these losses, he will continue to do it!
Although it is funny and ridiculous that human beings are destroyed in a crisis created by humans, it is better than being destroyed in the hands of those people who cannot understand.
Self-destruction can be regarded as destruction within one's own control, rather than facing external despair.
"It's not like you said it, but I'm okay with it," Tony said.
At this time on Earth, Tony is the strongest individual hero on the technological side.
Even though Dr. Reed is far superior to him in scientific research capabilities, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, Tony is the strongest on the technology side.
He knew very well how helpless he was in the face of those demons.
Even after learning that his suit had turned into a demon, Tony became hesitant about creating suits and intelligent life.
He was afraid that the same thing would happen to him again.
"It's not something we can do if we want to," Reed said.
After waking up, he learned about the Nephalem's information and communicated with Valar more than once.
He even got Vera's cooperation in his research!
Dr. Reed has information on the Nephalem bloodline in his hands. If Dr. Reed is given time, he can even create a Nephalem serum similar to the previous vampire serum.
But that doesn't change the human condition.
"Almost everyone in Sanctuary has Nephalem blood, but not everyone is equally strong," Reed said.
"But their individual strength is at least not powerless when facing the devil." Tony said.
"You misunderstood me. What I want to say is that we can produce enough serum for everyone to transform into nephalem, but at that time, will humans still be humans?" Reed said seriously.
"In the face of such a crisis, if we still need to discuss philosophical issues, that would be the biggest stupidity!" Tony knocked on the table angrily.
He was not wearing a suit, and the punch caused his hand to visibly swell.
"Survival is the most fundamental instinct of life. Continuity is above the individual!" Tony said after taking a deep breath.
He forced himself to calm down.
"I don't suggest you do this, I mean it from the bottom of my heart." Vera walked through the door of the room uninvited.
Of course, this conference room has been soundproofed, which may have some effect on barbarians.
After all, barbarians never bother to explore other people's conversations.
But this is meaningless for the Nephalem, who need to accurately grasp the combat environment.
Especially for demon hunters who are good at assassination, the conversation between Nick Fury and the others is actually no different from talking in Vera's ears.
"No need to guess, I don't care about things like the outflow of Nephalem's power, but when you do this, you will face an opponent more troublesome than the devil, the wise archangel Malthael who is determined to completely end the existence of the devil."
Vera had a sneer on her face.
Although no Nephalem would be kind and accepting of Malthael who wanted to kill him.
But no Nephalem would despise Malthael, the archangel of wisdom!
"You may not have any intuitive feelings about Malthael's threat, but I can give you an example."
Vera said slowly.
"My strength is unstoppable compared to the power you have now. It is only a matter of time for me to kill all the fighting power you have gathered, and it will not even be a long time."
Vera is serious.
She is not exaggerating. For Vera, if she does not limit her power, she can smash the earth into a sieve in a few breaths without anyone stopping her!
It can even guarantee that the largest pieces left on the earth are even finer than a table tennis ball!
And if someone restrains her output, the result will be that the earth will turn into a sieve in the aftermath of her all-out battle, and at most the fragments will be slightly larger.
"If you are facing Malthael, the Archangel of Death, then you will die immediately if he wishes. It's just a thought."
Vera's expression was a little strange.
Of course, it is impossible for a being who does not control authority to fight against authority. Among the people present, Tony may be the only one who can fight against it a little bit.
But that's not his own power either.
"If you provoke the powerful Nephalem, the Nephalem may not vent his anger or vent, but once you are contaminated with the power of the Nephalem, you will be an existence that must be eliminated in front of Malthael."
Vera's words were a little confused.
But everyone present understood what she meant!
Turning humans into nephalems is certainly a way to fight against demons, but of course such nephalems cannot be as talented as the original nephalem.
On the contrary, it will turn all humans into targets that Malthael needs to eliminate!
This is even more dangerous!
"If I can extract the angelic part of the Nephalem's power, can I solve this problem?" Reed said seriously.
He did not give up on this path!
This is what they have seen so far, the best solution for humans to fight against demons in a short period of time!
"The Nephalem are the balance of angels and demons. I can't give a definite answer to the result of breaking this balance, but I think it wouldn't be so good. Of course, it's only for the human race."
Vera said.
If there is no demonic side in the human body, then it will inevitably become more and more like an angel.
Perhaps within a few generations, humanity will disappear completely.
This result is not much better than everyone being directly eliminated by Malthael, and it may even be worse.
The feeling of gradually falling into the abyss does no harm to the insensitive, but for those who fall into the abyss awake, it is the greatest torture!
