Chapter 53

Now that I was serious, no one could give me even one scratch. I was not even noticed until the very last moment, although if Schmidt had not been resistant to telepathy (it suddenly turned out that his thoughts remained a mystery to me), then my whole mission would have gone like a knife through butter. He just managed to turn on the alarm when I almost got to him.

But this didn't change much, since the German couldn't hide his location anyway, and all the equipment had just gone down because of an EMP mine that I activated after my discovery, so even escaping from me becomes an almost impossible task. Deciding not to waste time in vain, I accelerated and in a minute I was already in the right room. Except I've already been met here.

- Fire! Johann commanded, and guns loaded with Tesseract energy began firing at me.

Keywords: "energy" and "tesseract". I grinned and didn't even do anything, but just absorbed all the shots into myself. Most of it, of course, went to overcome the limit, but some of it still settled in my body, which made me want to try to shoot it at one of the Hydra soldiers.

— And I can do that too, - I smile and point the index finger of my left hand at the nearest opponent.

*Pouf*

And he really evaporates. But if the others thought that one of them had died, then I knew that I had sent him directly to the Grandmaster's office. It seems that according to the schedule, the ruler of Sakaar was supposed to have an orgy session now. And he really does not like it when people come to him during this action (there was an exception with me).

— Why are you up?! Shoot him! Sooner or later, his defense won't hold up! Red Skull shouted.

Maybe it would have worked the last time we met, but now everything is completely different. Their shots did not bring any visible results, and neither did invisible ones. I just absorbed the energy like a sponge and shot the others back, but this time I sent them into outer space. Jokes are jokes, but somehow I don't want to anger the Grandmaster - I'm not strong enough to challenge him yet.

Thus, there was only Johann, who already wanted to escape. But who would let him do such a stupid thing? That's right, no one. I still need to understand how he protected himself from my telepathy, but there is already one theory. With one jerk, I got right behind him and slashed at the tendons under his knees, causing him to fall to the ground.

- Where are you going? I have a few questions for you..." I said with a grin on my face.

My theory was confirmed and his skull could really protect him from encroachments into the consciousness of a man. That's just from a direct touch it didn't help anymore, so I went into his head as if to my home. All I needed from him was the location of the tesseract, but I didn't mind getting some more information.

While he was screaming in agony, I was not careful and with great pleasure gutted his memory for information of interest to me. I found out about the Tesseract at the very beginning, so I didn't worry about it. He was still here and there is simply no one to pick him up now, even if someone knew about his location. Schmidt turned out to be even more paranoid than I was, and did not trust absolutely anyone, and people close to him could only guess where the artifact was hidden.

Leaving the room, I left behind only a drooling piece of meat. I managed to find out everything I could. I didn't kill him, because he definitely won't do any harm. In such a state. That's just something in me howled with terrible force, and I turned around, seeing the German's face distorted in fierce hatred in front of me. Out of surprise, I hit him with a beam from the energy of the Space stone, although he himself could not do anything to me.

- Wooh... - I sigh, - I almost laid bricks from his mug, honestly, - and his mug was really capable of this, - Hmm, and where did I send him?..

Deciding not to bother my head with this, I, dancing, stomped to why I came here at all, namely, an ancient alien artifact, that is, a tesseract. I'm in a funny mood today. There's an alarm all over the base, people are running around, and I'm calmly walking down the corridor and disabling everyone I meet. It seems that the energy of the Space stone has a bad effect on me, or rather, good, but the effect…

- The dance of the evil genius, - quietly humming to myself, I go and ... so, something brought me. You can still sing, but dancing is already superfluous. They're already looking at me strangely before they attack me.

— On the pages of the work…

Then an idea occurred to me. Delusional, true, but it has a great chance of working. What is remarkable is that I came up with this, remembering one fantastic book I read about a guy who also owned telepathy. So, my idea was to punch all the people in the neighborhood in the brains with my ability. Which I did, focusing on the right action, not really hoping for success.

— This is a game, without a doubt…

The result was even better than I thought. Well, in the case of the subjects, it was, of course, a failure, since everyone's brain simply burned out. He was good for me because I didn't have to go and finish off everyone myself. That's how the era of Hydra ended... without really starting.

- The doomed one is waiting for defeat!..

After singing the last lines of the chorus, I finally reached the room where the artifact is hidden. I go inside and see the device inside which the tesseract is placed. Well, the blue glow clearly hints at this. Now let's think about how to get him out. Hmm, this lever looks very suspicious. It looks like it opens access to the lid. I pull on myself.

*Shoo*

Several clips detach, revealing a view of a special handle that needs to be turned clockwise and pulled up, which I did. There was a blue cube in front of me, and even from here I managed to absorb small emissions of Space energy. So, and now it is necessary to attach it somewhere — I am somehow afraid to take it in my bare hands like that.

I saw a suitcase nearby, where Johann was constantly carrying it, and immediately understood what to do. I used special forceps and put the object in the hole intended for it. Next, he secured the artifact and closed the suitcase, nodding his head with satisfaction. Then my chuika screamed again with a good obscenity, which is why I soon had to re-open the suitcase.

I was preparing for an attack and at any moment I was determined to touch the artifact to absorb its energy. But, looking around, I didn't notice anyone. But it was too early to relax, so I waited. A minute, two, five, ten... it already seemed to me that my intuition had failed me, when suddenly a real portal opened in the middle of the room.

- You're lying — you won't find it! - grabbing the tesseract with one hand, and pointing the other at this very portal, I exclaimed.
