Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: The Ultimate Evolution of Humankind? The Heart Is a Prison

Thanks for review guys next chapter on 9.00 am

In the screen,

Leon Lake's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Because the situation changed so suddenly, he temporarily ignored this issue.

But now that he was reminded of it, it immediately took over his whole body and mind.

Especially listening to the tone of that monster, a bad feeling emerged.

For the first time, Leon Lake lost his composure and looked a little suspicious and irritated.

Finally, the shadow spoke again:

"In fact, what we are now is what human beings are supposed to be.

We can also use the word 'evolution' to understand that we have stronger abilities and potentials, and the human body is just a cumbersome shell..."

Listening to these inexplicable words, Leon Lake frowned and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"This is the attitude we should have.

But for some reason, perhaps it was a curse brought on by other factors, or a restriction, the power it represents has been trapped deep within our bodies.

In the heart, to be exact."

The shadow kept speaking in a tone that showed no emotion:

"It's like holding power in a cage.

As long as the heart is beating, the cage is unbreakable;

But it cannot die or be destroyed, because the power inside is also attached to it, and once the cage is damaged, the power will also die."

After that, it lowered its head and smiled at Leon Lake, then continued:

"But the great Lord has given us the 'key' that allows the power to break free without damaging the original in the process.

When the heart loses the energy supplied by the body but has not yet completely died, we can use the 'key' to open the lock of the cage and release this power.

The Lord also needs us. When more and more people 'evolve,' the Lord's will will come closer and be integrated with us, helping us reach a new height.

Definitely, it sounds simple, but it is quite troublesome to actually implement it. The preparation of the ceremony alone is troublesome...but in addition to that, some other 'assistance' is also needed."

Its words seemed to have a meaningful meaning.

The audience in the live broadcast room immediately remembered the "heart" that was mentioned repeatedly before...

Stark Industries Building.

Tony suddenly felt like he was pricked by a needle.

Then suddenly he remembered the first words this guy said when he saw Leon Lake -

Thank you for everything you do.

Thinking of this, he seemed to have phantom pain in his chest.

A fear he had never felt before arose in his heart, the degree of which was even greater than all the fears he had felt before. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He had a feeling that Leon Lake seemed to have fallen into a sophisticated and sinister trap, the depth of which he could not estimate at all.

JARVIS: "Master, I have detected abnormal mood swings on your part."

Tony forced himself to wave his hand, his eyes never leaving the screen.

He already had an incredible guess.

Food?

A breeding ground?

No!

Neither!

"It's a cage!"

Tony's voice and the voice of the dark figure in the picture sounded almost at the same time.

As if to deliberately destroy Leon Lake's psychological defenses, this guy leaned over and looked at him with pity:

"When you see 'monsters' coming out of the heart one by one, isn't it easy to think that the monsters are produced by these poor and weak organs?"

As if to confirm his guess, the black shadow continued to speak slowly:

"So when you wanted to solve the problem here, did you first think of eliminating the source of the 'monster' in your eyes?"

Leon Lake's back was already wet with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and retorted:

"Since those monsters have already appeared, then according to what you said, the heart has lost its function as a 'cage'. In any case, destroying them will at least not have any adverse effects!"

After hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room also echoed it.

Apparently, they thought so too.

Because in everyone's opinion,

The heart can be a cage or a hotbed.

At least after being destroyed, no new demons were created, right?

The black shadow smiled at Leon Lake again, this time the smile was particularly obvious and exaggerated, and it looked extremely weird with its "face."

Looking at this face, the little hope in the hearts of the audience in the live broadcast room slowly disappeared, and their hearts sank completely.

The black shadow smiled and said:

"Although the heart is fragile, the confinement is quite strong, and the connection is not ordinarily close.

Even if the power is released, some of it will still remain.

As you can see, it can be easily solved with a silver bullet and a prayer.

So they must be completely destroyed."

At this point, the shadow paused and said: "We can't cause any damage to it, so we can only rely on other forces, that is, you outsiders."

It lowered its head and said in a slightly proud tone:

"Otherwise, do you think you could have survived until now?"

As Sombra finished speaking, all the audiences in the Marvel world fell into an eerie silence.

All doubts were suddenly resolved at this moment.

However, they did not feel any joy at all. Instead, they felt...

A strong sense of powerlessness.

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury's eyes trembled.

He now understands a lot:

Why are there fewer monsters in the nest than outside?

Why doesn't Leon Lake attract other monsters every time he destroys a "stronghold"?

He also understood why he had been feeling so uncomfortable before:

Everything was easier than he thought.

Yes, how can hell end so easily?

"It's quite troublesome to have to wait for others to do this. The flow of time here is different from that outside. It usually takes several months or even years to wait for an outsider."

The shadow ignored Leon Lake's status and continued, "In order not to arouse suspicion from outsiders, we try to adjust our thinking abilities to the level that is almost the same as beasts, and act only on instinct.

And when you start trying to destroy the heart, our remaining sanity will automatically take certain measures to reduce the 'difficulty' to cooperate with your actions.

That's the whole truth."

It paused for a moment, and then said in a comforting tone: "But even in this situation, it is very difficult. I have to say you are quite amazing. You were able to pass it in one go. I thought I would have to wait a few more months."

After saying this, it took a few steps back.

There were a few strange whistles, as if issuing some kind of order.

The whole building began to tremble and groan, and the surrounding monsters began to move towards it...
