Chapter 168: The Hive

In a ruined base, a man and a woman were confronting each other.

"Give up, you can't resist. You people, you were born to serve me!" The man looked at the woman in front of him with a strange expression.

Without saying a word, the woman tried her best to resist the parasite erosion from the being that once was Ward... No, it was the Hive.

Her body was covered with a faint layer of golden divine power, which had been imparted by Thor casually. It seemed useless on normal days, but this time it played a great role.

Skye, now she should be called Quake, Daisy Johnson!

After discovering her true heritage, she realized she was a legendary Inhuman and possessed the super-ability she had always dreamed of.

But now, she was in the greatest crisis of her life.

Hive, the world's first Inhuman, could project parasites to compel all Inhumans to surrender, making them willing to serve him. This compulsion was absolute; there was no possibility of betrayal or being awakened by others.

As the first-generation leader of the Inhumans, he never fought alone.

If he controlled Skye and let her return to S.H.I.E.L.D., it would be of great use!

At the critical moment, Skye took out a communicator and decisively pressed the button.

Hive noticed this movement and smiled disdainfully: "Don't count on it. No one will come to rescue you. Even if your companions arrive, they will just add a few more skilled warriors to my ranks."

"Oh, is that so?"

A cold voice came from behind.

"Who?" Hive was startled and quickly turned to see a blond man in a red cloak and silver armor standing behind him.

"Thor! Help!" Skye shouted excitedly.

Different from the wild hacker who grew up in an orphanage and wandered since childhood in the original timeline, she was adopted by Peggy Carter early in this life. Her personality was a little less mature and more naive.

"Bang—" Without a word, Thor punched, and Hive didn't even have time to resist as his head was smashed by the blow.

"Wow! So handsome!" Skye ran up excitedly and hugged Thor's arm.

"Are you...an Avenger? You can't kill me!"

Another corpse on the ground slowly stood up. This was another ability of Hive, possessing the corpses of others. In a sense, this was a form of immortality.

"Be careful, this guy has a lot of strange abilities!" Skye whispered in Thor's ear.

Because HYDRA would send a devotee to Hive every few decades, after several centuries, Hive had parasitized hundreds or even thousands of humans. This made Hive multilingual, proficient in fighting techniques, technology, and almost omnipotent among ordinary humans.

But after all, he was just a powerful ordinary person, which is why he could only be the boss of the S.H.I.E.L.D series.

But he couldn't control someone as strong as Thor, who punched him with a sneer.

This time, Hive blocked the blow with both arms in time.

"Crack——" The sound of bone breaking was heard, and before Hive could feel the severe pain, he was lifted high by Thor and smashed into the ground, embedding half of his body into the floor.

Naturally, his head was smashed like a watermelon again...

"Uh... If you can, let's be more civilized..." The bloody scene made Skye stick out her tongue. Although she wasn't afraid, girls naturally hate disgusting things!

"Asshole, you will regret this!"

Another corpse stood up again.

"See? You can't kill me!" Hive's ability was very strange. He could regenerate almost infinitely, just like the slogan of HYDRA --- cut off one head, two more shall take its place.

"It's really ignorant and fearless. A monster created by the Kree dares to call itself a god? Then let me show you what a real god is!"

Holding Skye in his arms, Thor jumped to a height of several hundred meters, and a massive amount of lightning descended, covering hundreds of meters around Hive.

The flesh of Hive, far superior to ordinary people, couldn't survive the lightning storm for even a second and instantly turned into a charred corpse.

The parasite quickly attached to another corpse, but in the lightning storm, it too turned to ash, and Hive was forced to withdraw just as it attached.

What made him even more desperate was that this kind of attack, which contained divine power, caused significant damage to his body.

Constantly reborn and constantly dying, Hive was reborn dozens of times in just a few minutes, his body becoming weaker and weaker...

"Ah———I'm not reconciled—"

With a roar full of despair and resentment, the god of HYDRA finally died and completely disappeared from the world.
