Chapter 77 - 075 The Tesseract
After scanning the task, Luke was ready to reach for the metal instrument containing the Tesseract.
Red Skull, who had fallen to the ground and was having trouble getting up, stared at Luke with hatred in his eyes and uttered in a frantic voice, "No! It's mine! No one is going to take it away!" ??
He pulled out a flashing blue energy gun and pulled the trigger.
However, the target wasn't Luke, but the Tesseract.
With a swoosh, the beam of light hit the metal instrument.
Crack!
The hard shell was broken!
The cube, which emitted an eerie blue light, fell out.
As if stimulated, the light glowed brightly.
The entire cockpit is filled with energy fluctuations like fog.
A little bit of blue light twisted and turned like tiny lightning.
Sometimes they flicker, sometimes they intertwine, forming a highly luminous blue haze.
The light is getting brighter and brighter like it was going to rip open the void!
"See! This is the power of the gods! Compared to the great power it contains, humans are so small!"
There's a trace of obsession in Red Skull's passionate eyes.
He gazed at the swirling vortex of energy inside the Tesseract, a translucent cube that seemed to hide a whole milky way!
"The Norwegians kept it, concealing its existence within the statue of the world tree, in an attempt to conceal it for a long time! However, fate led me to it! An endless source of energy, the key to world domination!"
Red Skull was spitting blood and shouting like he was crazy.
"I have the core technology to extract the energy of the Tesseract, General Cavill …"
"General Sir, I am the discoverer of this technology!"
Dr. Zola, who was hiding nearby, spoke up.
He eagerly stood up and showed his value, completely ignoring Red Skull's angry eyes that almost seemed they could get spitfire.
"Do you see that? Schmidt, you have no more value. "
Luke smiled unconcernedly. He reached for the glowing cube, walked to Red Skull, raised his foot, and stepped on the crimson head.
He originally wanted to keep the other side. Both as a credit to the Allies and through the Strategic Science Reserve's torture methods, dig out more intelligence.
Luke is very interested in Hydra's actual origins and the hidden history behind them.
"It doesn't belong to you anymore, Schmidt. "
Luke raised his right hand and held the Tesseract in his grip. It kept shaking but couldn't escape.
The blue glow eroded through the veins, like a blaze burning the skin, and intense pain swept through the body.
However, Luke didn't let go and clenched harder as if to crush the Tesseract.
It seemed to realize that it couldn't resist. The energy overflowing from the cube gradually gave birth to subtle changes.
They seem to form a unique pattern and resonate with a hidden rhythm.
The void began to shake.
It emitted a slight humming as if a doorway to an unknown world was about to form!
Luke saw the vortex grow larger and larger, and as the energy released approached a critical point, the blue force field shrank slightly, and then a channel formed and slowly opened in the metal bulkhead of the cockpit.
At the other end was a strange starry sky, with colorful and magnificent scenes.
It was as unreal as it was real.
"That's God's domain! The dwelling of the Gods!"
Red Skull shouted at the top of his lungs. With all his strength, he pushed the leg that stepped on his head.
Like a thirsty traveler in the desert, when seeing an oasis, he rushed like crazy!
Hydra's leader completely lost his mind and didn't care if what he saw was reality or a mirage.
Luke didn't stop it.
He gripped the buzzing and trembling Tesseract with one hand while calmly watching Red Skull pounce on the gradually opening space channel.
The other party was immediately wrapped in a mass of blue energy, like a poor guy trapped in bubbles, whose body was eroded and melted.
"No! It's not … "
Red Skull's expression changed from ecstasy to horror. Life's ups and downs were this fast.
He watched his body being eroded by the blue energy little by little.
Like weathering, it gradually disappeared into the cockpit!
"Have a nice trip. "
Luke smiled slightly as he listened to Red Skull's reluctant roar.
If he guessed correctly, the other party should have been exiled to the planet Vormir, guarding the precious Soul Stone.
'May that barren world satisfy Red Skull's ambition.'
'The universe is so big, and I want to see it. '
Luke, who held the cube, sighed.
Looking at the other end of the space channel, the nine-star fields emerged. He couldn't restrain the impulse to plunge into it.
The vast river of stars is home to not only human civilizations but other races as well.
'Not yet, wait… '
Luke held back the unexplainable restlessness, released his grip on the Tesseract, and put the glowing cube into his suitcase.
After leaving contact with organic life, the Tesseract, one of the infinite gems, also calmed down and stopped releasing the strong energy fluctuations.
"Dr. Zola, can you fly a plane?"
Luke turned and looked at Hydra's chief scientist, who witnessed the whole process and asked gently.
The latter nodded repeatedly as he was involved in designing this new aircraft. Simple operation is still possible.
"What about the whereabouts of John Schmidt, the Red Skull …"
Luke sat down beside the pilot's seat quickly and asked again.
"Schmidt is stubborn and bent on completing his evil plan of destroying half the world. General, you stopped him by yourself, shot this ambitious madman off the plane, and ended Red Skull's life. "
Dr. Zola replied in a very discreet manner.
As a researcher of the Tesseract, he knows very well how powerful that single cube is.
When ordinary people touched it directly, they would only be eroded by energy and turned into ash, but Luke was safe and sound.
Through this, it was enough to prove that the other party accepted the second-generation serum injection from Dr. Erskine, became a perfect super-soldier, which isn't something that ordinary people could fight against.
"Then let's go back, Dr. Zola. "
Luke leaned against the chair and closed his eyes gently.
He noticed that the moment he held the Tesseract, there seemed to be an invisible pair of eyes casting a gaze towards him.
Who could it be?
…
