"Hill, take all the items I need. As for the rest... I believe Fury will handle the arrangements properly." Aaron dusted his hands and left.
"Sorry, Fury, I belong to Aaron now." Hill shrugged and immediately followed Aaron's steps.
Even she was a little surprised. Hill hadn't actually decided if she truly wanted to leave S.H.I.E.L.D., but she hadn't expected Aaron to have such tremendous influence. The matter was settled before she even had a chance to think it over.
Now, regardless of anything else, leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. was a foregone conclusion.
The big bosses had spoken, were they supposed to change their orders overnight?
"Damn it, a bunch of incompetent teammates!" Fury was so angry he started cursing loudly.
He didn't fear powerful opponents, only teammates like pigs.
Why did you defect to the enemy?
Coulson and Natasha walked in from outside at this moment.
They quickly said, "Director Hill, she..."
Fury said, "She belongs to Aaron now."
"Huh?!"
Looking at the warehouse, which seemed to have been ransacked, and then at Fury, who looked like a mad bull, the two immediately shut up and retreated.
They exchanged glances, both seeing the same thought in the other's eyes.
Aaron is not to be provoked!
Meanwhile, Aaron sat in the back seat.
Hill quickly got into character. "Boss, where are we going?"
"Osborn."
Aaron thought for a moment and decided to get down to business.
At least he needed Hill to start working immediately.
The Corporation was still very busy. Felicia was not around, and Norman couldn't make decisions. Without a helmsman, it was difficult to operate normally.
Hill's driving skills were quite good. It was clear that despite her high position, she practiced frequently.
Throughout the journey, Aaron felt the car was both fast and stable.
Excellent!
Then Aaron opened the briefcase, revealing the object inside: the Obelisk!
Aaron didn't worry about Hill's presence. His right hand reached for the Obelisk.
"Wait, that thing is very dangerous."
Hill slammed on the brakes, stopping in the middle of the road.
"According to reliable intel, at least a hundred people have been petrified by touching this thing."
"Currently, we haven't researched its..."
Aaron ignored what Hill said.
Although he hadn't acquired Skye's Inhumans genes, it didn't mean he would fear the power of petrification.
He was an Ultimate Life Form!
He was immune to over ninety-nine percent of negative effects in the Universe.
Moreover, after acquiring powerful abilities like Celestial body, Asgardian body, and Survival of the Fittest, his body possessed powerful magic resistance.
Would he still fear mere petrification?
Even if this thing was technology-based, could it surpass the Primordial Furnace?
Under Hill's worried gaze, his right hand approached the Obelisk and swallowed it without any hindrance.
[Petrification: You can petrify life forms that do not possess Inhumans or Kree genes. The petrification effect is influenced by the target's strength.]
[Gene Evolution: You can activate Inhumans genes within the Human body, allowing them to complete their evolution.]
How to put it, compared to Zero Matter, the Obelisk's characteristics could be said to be useless.
Aaron guessed that this level of petrification ability would only work on beings below the level of a God. But it wasn't a big problem.
His body was constantly strengthening. Especially with the enhanced energy absorption, he absorbed surrounding energy like a whale swallowing water.
The temperature around Aaron was several degrees lower than other places.
When his body absorbed enough energy and reached a critical value, he would achieve glorious evolution.
At that time, the abilities he possessed would also improve with him. This was the power of infinite evolution.
The strength of the abilities didn't matter. All abilities would continuously strengthen with his evolution.
Until he was omniscient, omnipotent, and capable of anything.
Hill looked at Aaron as if he were a monster. Then she silently focused on driving.
Seeing that Hill didn't ask, Aaron wouldn't deliberately explain anything.
He picked up the other boxes placed next to him, opening them one by one.
Aaron continuously absorbed and fused. Then he mastered a special energy.
That is, the isotopic energy of the Space Stone.
After this elemental characteristic was integrated into the eternal phoenix core, the little sun became even brighter. The power it emitted was also more terrifying.
Feeling the even more active cells, Aaron's lips curved slightly.
This feeling of getting stronger every single minute and second was exhilarating. He didn't even need to deliberately exercise or absorb. Even when he was sleeping at night, he was getting stronger.
Upon careful perception, Aaron found that his cells had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to a week ago.
Each one was incredibly full, and each one exuded endless vitality. The energy inside seemed to be overflowing.
He felt that the energy contained in each of his cells now could rival or even surpass Tony's first-generation arc reactor. The gap to the second-generation arc reactor was also not far.
And his physical strength had reached a point that existing technology could hardly detect. Perhaps the heaviest aircraft carrier in the world would be like a toy in his hands.
Aaron thought for a moment and tried to use the Primordial Furnace to create a second eternal phoenix core and place it within a second cell.
His whole body suddenly heated up by several degrees. But very quickly, the energy emitted by the core was swallowed and absorbed by countless cells. His body returned to normal again.
Hill glanced in the rearview mirror, saw Aaron closing his eyes in thought, and then turned back to continue driving.
However, very quickly, the temperature inside the car rose by several more degrees.
Hill felt very puzzled, and opened the car window. It cooled down a bit then.
But when she looked in the left rearview mirror, her peripheral vision caught Aaron seemingly glowing all over.
She blinked.
Aaron returned to his original state.
This made Hill feel very strange.
Something was wrong.
Out of an Agent's vigilance, Hill felt that Aaron was undergoing some unknown change.
But if the boss didn't say, a subordinate should never ask.
This was her experience working at S.H.I.E.L.D..
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Hill felt that Aaron's aura was more profound.
At this moment, she felt like he was the sun in the sky, inspiring a sense of awe from the bottom of her heart.
The fifth one...
Let's put it on the forehead.
Aaron placed four additional eternal phoenix cores in one go. They were located in the middle of his left and right hands, the middle of his left and right feet, and on his forehead.
The brain consumes the most energy in a human body, and Aaron was no exception.
While his body was continuously strengthening, his brain needed to devour more energy every moment to evolve to a more perfect level. This required a massive amount of energy.
After all, he now possessed too many abilities, and once he evolved, it would be an all-encompassing evolution.
But after placing a total of five eternal phoenix cores, Aaron found that at the current cellular level, it was difficult to digest any more excess energy.
If he placed another one, his body could withstand it, but the excess energy radiating through his body would cause unpredictable damage to the outside world.
For example, it could instantly turn New York into nothing.
The temperature in the area centered around him might rise by hundreds of degrees or more.
