Chapter: 269

The Obelisk - The specific origin of the Obelisk is unknown, and the time of its appearance on Earth is also a mystery.

However, it is speculated that the Obelisk has been on Earth for many years and was unearthed from underground.

The Obelisk was last seen by people in 1945.

At that time, it was stored in the last known base of Hydra located in Austria.

When Hydra was preparing to transfer it, the captain's former lover, Agent Carter, appeared leading the Howling Commandos and destroyed Hydra's last stronghold.

After the war, the Obelisk was placed under the custody of the "Strategic Scientific Reserve," which was the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Later, at some point, Hydra operatives infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and moved the Obelisk to be hidden and researched within this base.

If it weren't for this time when Hydra was in a rush to implement their Insight plan and exposing their vulnerability to get wiped out by Captain and Fury.

S.H.I.E.L.D. might never have known about the transfer of the Obelisk.

It is said that the former leader of Hydra, Red Skull, once claimed that it possessed "the power to reshape death itself."

Coulson also believed that the Obelisk was some form of energy substance similar to the Tesseract, possibly one of the Infinity Stones.

That's why it was valued so highly, and he personally intervened to recover this item.

When Mark saw that the mysterious item Coulson was searching for turned out to be the Obelisk, memories related to it from his past life immediately surfaced in his mind.

The Obelisk is more like a container than an item.

What it contains is a mysterious crystal known as the Terrigen Crystal.

When the Obelisk is opened, the Terrigen Crystal would be revealed, and it releases a mist that petrifies surrounding objects.

Only those with Kree genetic markers can survive and undergo Terrigenesis, gaining various superpowers and becoming Inhumans.

For ordinary people without Kree genetic markers, it is nothing but a deadly poison.

However, Mark's knowledge about the Obelisk is limited to this point, as he did not watch all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's spin-off TV series, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Although he now possesses the superpower of informational vision, Mark only caught a brief glimpse, and Coulson had already closed the box.

Moreover, it seemed that the information inside was shielded by the Obelisk, and Mark didn't obtain any data about the Terrigen Crystal within.

"I'll have a chance to trade with Coulson later. Now that S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen and risen again, my inventions should pique their interest," Mark silently thought to himself.

However, he wasn't in a hurry about this matter. He had plenty of other urgent things to deal with at the moment, and it wouldn't be wise to divert his attention.

Besides, in his memory, the Obelisk seemed to be lost again in the future.

As long as he lets Baymax pay attention to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s news, Mark might seize the opportunity to obtain relevant data about the Terrigen Crystal.

With Captain's leadership and Mark's assistance, the Avengers team successfully completed this mission.

Coulson's personal involvement also bore fruit, as he managed to recover the Obelisk stolen by Hydra.

After finishing the task of dealing with the Hydra base, Mark didn't stay long. He explained to Captain and the others that he had some business to attend to and left directly.

This time, to help Captain's team, he took a long journey and spent some time.

However, he unexpectedly obtained information about the Terrigen Crystal, so it wasn't a loss for Mark.

Upon returning to the laboratory, just as Mark had completed the improved design of the Hoi-Poi Capsule, the production was also finished, allowing him to start a new round of testing experiments.

But as if fate were teasing Mark, just before he could begin the testing, an emergency alert interrupted his plans.

"Baymax, what's going on!" Disturbed by the unexpected events time and time again, Mark couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed, and his tone became less friendly.

"Master, it's an urgent call for help from the Terminator. There are some tricky situations at the New York Sanctum that it can't handle," Baymax reported truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Mark's heart tightened!

Given the Terminator's strength, if it encountered troubles it couldn't handle, the situation must be extremely urgent. Mark wasted no time and immediately put aside his experiments, opened the portal, and arrived at the New York Sanctum.

However, after arriving at the Sanctum, Mark didn't witness any fierce battles or encounter vicious enemies.

Inside the Sanctum, besides the Terminator who was guarding it, there were only two beings present - one was Daniel, the sorcerer who had a previous meet with Mark during a handover ceremony at the New York Sanctum, and the other was a strange four-legged creature that Mark had never seen before.

"Daniel, what's going on? Why are you and an unknown creature here in the New York Sanctum, and the guardian I left behind informed me of an emergency at the Sanctum?" Mark directly asked Daniel, showing no interest in speculating about the perplexing situation before him.

Daniel seemed apologetic and helpless, and after organizing his thoughts for a moment, he explained to Mark, "I'm very sorry, Master Mark. Due to my negligence, my pet managed to use a portal artifact and arrived here at the New York Sanctum.

However, before I explain the whole situation to you, I hope you can keep this a secret from the Supreme sorcerer for now."

Mark didn't agree right away based on Daniel's sincere request. Instead, he shook his head and responded firmly, "You first explain the situation clearly, and based on what you say, I'll consider whether to inform the Supreme sorcerer or not."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Daniel reluctantly nodded and agreed to Mark's stance.

"This matter goes back to the incident from last winter when the Nine Realms Aligned, an event that happens once every millennium in the Nine Realms, and the Dark Elves descended upon Earth..."
