The words slipped out before Chen Fan even realized why.
In the instant he activated the Godslayer power, his lips uncontrollably uttered those lines.
He clicked his tongue, and the corners of Chen Fan's eyes twitched unnaturally twice. This line was so full of that over-the-top vibe!
After the sound echoed through the night sky, a rumbling thunder followed, with countless bolts of lightning crashing down like Electric Serpents, accompanied by a tearing sound.
Purple electric arcs enveloped the area, followed by a chorus of wails.
Countless people trembled, their shoulders shaking. The weapons in their hands had long been tossed aside; even if they still held onto them, they lacked any strength to attack, their bodies numb and unresponsive.
"This is really—" Black Director stared in shock. Within his line of sight, apart from Chen Fan and Dormammu, he was the only one still standing. The ground was scorched black, and those who had collapsed could no longer even scream in agony.
"Don't worry, no one will die!" Chen Fan glanced over casually. He had originally planned to take this opportunity to discuss matters with Black Uncle regarding S.H.I.E.L.D., but now it seemed unnecessary.
This was just as well; it saved him from wasting his breath.
Most of the lightning struck the ground, with only a few strands wrapping around people. In terms of damage, it was not much different from Maid Sister's electric shock gun.
This unexpected incident was entirely orchestrated by Black Director and Dormammu. They had detected Monster Teacher bringing Chen Fan toward S.H.I.E.L.D., so they decided to set a trap and stage a grand cleanup!
"Eidman Alloy, two hundred kilograms!" Looking at Black Director's despondent expression, Chen Fan felt no sympathy. He chose to reclaim what was his from another angle.
"No! It's only one hundred fifty kilograms in total!" Nick Fury clutched his chest. Although Eidman Alloy hadn't yet been developed into anything particularly valuable, as a rare metal, its worth was several times that of gold. This revelation had stripped him bare.
"Deal!" A smirk crept onto Chen Fan's lips; that was fifty kilograms more than his original target.
At that moment, a team of fully armed Special Operations Agents emerged from S.H.I.E.L.D., methodically escorting away everyone lying on the ground, leaving no one behind, whether innocent or guilty.
Dormammu cast a deep glance at Chen Fan, then nodded towards the Black Director. His figure faded before their eyes and ultimately vanished.
Chen Fan kept his distance from this woman, who was over a hundred years older than Natasha, not out of fear of Dormammu's presence, but because he recalled a saying:
"Encounter a nun, and you'll lose every gamble!"
It was no wonder that Black Uncle often found himself in troublesome situations; having a teammate who drained luck would hardly make things easier.
This internal cleanup, while not yet thorough, had already eliminated many toxic elements. It could basically ensure that issues within S.H.I.E.L.D. would be reduced to a manageable level. From here on, they could slowly search and eventually sweep away any remaining debris.
"This is all the Eidman Alloy we have in S.H.I.E.L.D.," the Black Director said with a pained expression as he looked at the pile of raw materials before him. "I don’t know what weapon you plan to forge, but remember this: this alloy can only be forged once. Once it takes shape, with current technology, it cannot be reforged!"
Eidman Alloy was a special metal created by combining various metals with extraterrestrial minerals. After forging, it showed no signs of melting even at temperatures of 500,000 degrees Celsius.
It was the only substance on Earth that could not be destroyed by human means.
Looking at the shimmering silver blocks of metal before him, Chen Fan displayed a satisfied expression and waved his hand to signal the others to step back.
Under the puzzled gazes of those around him, Chen Fan crouched down and placed his hand on the surface of the Eidman Alloy. To the naked eye, a faint current flickered across it.
Chen Fan was using Curse Power to check if there was compatibility between himself and the Eidman Alloy.
If there was none or if it was too low, these blocks of metal that appeared valuable to others would be as mundane as steel to Chen Fan—merely a waste, tasteless and unworthy.
However, this ordinary inspection by Chen Fan triggered a strange transformation. The metal ingots placed in the box were suddenly drawn together under the influence of Curse Power, merging into a single Iron Lump before the astonished eyes of everyone present.
It was square-shaped, similar in size to a dictionary, yet it appeared entirely metallic, resembling an oversized brick.
"Black Uncle... can this thing still be forged?" Chen Fan's expression darkened. After the inspection, he found that Eidman Alloy had a good compatibility with him, making it suitable as a material for forging weapons. Moreover, during the recent examination, a certain connection had already been established between the two.
What puzzled him was that for some unknown reason, Eidman Alloy had transformed into such a bizarre form...
If it couldn't be forged, Chen Fan would have to find another way; he certainly couldn't go into battle swinging a brick at his enemies!
That would be too embarrassing! Chen Fan thought for a moment and shivered unexpectedly.
"I don't know; let's have the researchers take a look!" Nick Fury chuckled inwardly as he gazed at the metallic slab. This scene was truly unexpected for everyone involved.
Eidman Alloy had somehow fused on its own due to some external factor without any forging!
Before long, Chen Fan's face grew even darker. The researcher examining Eidman Alloy claimed that this piece of metal had already been forged and could only be re-forged if it was melted down first.
What a ridiculous statement! Chen Fan rolled his eyes at this; even if this thing were thrown into the sun, it wouldn't show any signs of melting. It seemed that this valuable piece of metal was now worthless.
"Hey? Did you guys notice that this piece of metal moved just now?" Suddenly, an astonished voice rang out from one of the staff members preparing to retrieve Eidman Alloy.
"No? Are you seeing things?" another staff member laughed and scolded.
However, at the sound of these two voices, Chen Fan's eyes lit up with curiosity.
Just now, he inadvertently activated the connection maintained with the Eidman Alloy. Originally, he intended to cut off this link, but now it seemed…
“It moved… it moved again!” someone shouted, drawing the attention of everyone present.
Under the gaze of all, the metal cube stored in the box began to tremble, and the shaking intensified. At this point, even the box itself was vibrating.
The two personnel collecting items exchanged uneasy glances and began to step back, distancing themselves from the anomalous metal.
“Alright, we don’t need to recover this piece of metal anymore!” The furrows on Chen Fan's forehead relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. Through the connection between them, Chen Fan realized that there was still a chance to salvage his weapon!
Black Director looked on in slight surprise at the vibrating metal block. He initially thought that the Eidman Alloy was about to undergo some kind of transformation again. However, once Chen Fan stepped forward, he understood that the recent disturbance was definitely related to this guy.
His previous expression of despair transformed into a smile; it would be strange if there were no tricks involved!
“Black Uncle, I’ll be taking this!” Under the astonished gazes of the two collectors, Chen Fan waved his hand lightly, and that hefty three-hundred-pound piece of metal flew out of the box, hovering in front of him before finally settling steadily into his delicate palm.
“Uh!” The few witnesses to this scene nearly had their eyes pop out. They rubbed their eyes vigorously, but the sight before them remained unchanged.
Chen Fan held the Eidman Alloy as if he were carrying a dictionary. Curiosity surged within him; he was fascinated by this metal. The fact that he could control its movement through that connection was not an ability he possessed inherently.
It seemed that the Eidman Alloy held some unknown secret.
Black Director's expression grew complex. Based on what had just transpired, he had a premonition that handing over the Eidman Alloy to Chen Fan was undoubtedly a mistake.
