Stratford Baron was indifferent to immortality, as he himself was no longer aging after resurrection, and what he cared about was Jia Ying's "past life" behind him, the place with many aliens.
Under the threat to her husband Calvin and daughter Daisy's lives, Jia Ying yielded and revealed the location of the "next life."
Stratford Baron personally led his nine-headed serpent soldiers to launch an attack on "the next life." After a fierce struggle, they successfully defeated all the aliens within "the next life."
Similarly to mutants, except for a few, most of the aliens have superpowers, but their superpowers are not practical in combat.
Furthermore, there are the families of many generations of aliens living there, and they too lack combat capabilities.
Therefore, when the nine-headed serpent army arrived at "the next life" and were holding their leader Jia Ying hostage, most of the aliens did not put up much resistance and surrendered willingly.
However, after conducting experiments on aliens and discovering that their superpowers could not be replicated, as well as understanding the relationship between alien genes and crystals, Stratford Baron became greatly disappointed.
Because it meant he couldn't mass-produce soldiers with specific superpowers.
In the end, Stratford Baron took away every alien's family member in "the next life" and scattered them across various unknown places as hostages, in order to make Jia Ying and the aliens in "the next life" serve him.
"Gordon, take me back to the next life."
Picking up the special telephone in the room, an eyeless man appeared instantly in her room.
The eyeless man's name is Gordon, and he has superpowers to perceive aliens and teleportation.
Gordon grasped Jia Ying's hand and, in an instant, returned her to the place where aliens have been living for generations, known as "the next life."
Jia Ying gathered several aliens with combat abilities from her tribe and conveyed the task assigned by Stratford Baron, finally cautioning them:
"Remember, whether the task is successful or not is unimportant. What's most important is to protect your lives."
Gordon, if things go sour, take them and escape directly. I'll handle Stratford Baron's side.
And Daisy, though your abilities are powerful, you still can't control them perfectly. You must be careful when the time comes."
After the instructions were given, Gordon teleported Jia Ying back to the Nine Serpent Base in Skola, and then one by one, he brought the alien clansmen, including Daisy, to the Threefold Wing Building in Washington.
On the other side, after George had finished giving some instructions to Professor X and Captain America, along with several others, he also vanished from the school by phasing out.
Naturally, he intended to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the Hydra base and seize the Infinity Gauntlet.
The Hydra base housing the energy weapon to hide the Infinity Gauntlet is located on a remote island off the coast of Washington.
George first appeared as an apparition by the sea, and then he spread his wings and flew toward the island.
Due to the limitations of the "Wing" magic's flight speed, George also accelerated his flight using magnetism, with many different methods available.
For example, by applying a ten-ton force to the iron plate in his shoe, he glided along the Earth's magnetic field line, generated anti-gravitational force, and manipulated the gravitational factor.
In short, with all kinds of bonuses applied, his flight speed had already reached supersonic.
Fortunately, his body had long surpassed the limits of the average person, otherwise, at this speed of flight, his flesh would have started to give out first.
Unless he put on an iron armor spell, but that would certainly increase resistance, affecting his flying speed.
"Tony's suit is still faster in terms of flight speed!"
At this moment, George couldn't help but think of Iron Man's armor.
According to Tony's statement when George last ordered a metallic model from him, his Iron Man suit has been upgraded to achieve a speed of four times the speed of sound with the help of some technology from the realm of the gods.
"I'll make my own magical armor when I have the time."
Recently, he has been learning the "Rider Armor" transformation magic from Elrith, which allows him to wear armor stored in a transformation space instantly on his body.
So if he can make a magical armor, he can wear it instantly, which is very convenient.
Flying at supersonic speed, with a specific coordinate location, he quickly found the island and saw various buildings with the Hydra emblem on it.
At the pier of the island, a large ship was moored. The soldiers of Hydra were busy loading energy weapons into crates, which were to be transported to various Hydra bases across the country.
"Hide!"
Instead of attacking directly, George first put a phantasm spell on himself to become invisible, and then followed the Hydra soldiers as they walked into the base in broad daylight.
"Wow, what a strange thing, why didn't I see any Hydra robots guarding the base?"
He remembered from the memories of Sitwell that Pierce had used some technology he obtained from S.H.I.E.L.D. to have Dr. Zola create a number of Hydra robotic soldiers for himself.
These Hydra robotic soldiers are mostly stationed on this remote island to guard the Infinity Gauntlet.
However, he hadn't seen any along the way.
However, he did not mind; for his superpowers, robotic soldiers were something that he could easily overcome.
With his current level of magnetic strength that can control ten tons of metal weight, no robot could stand against him; they would be instantly dismantled without any chance to resist.
"Ahahoo, open!"
Arriving at the deepest part of the base, he used the unlock spell to open several steel doors in succession, and finally, he saw the Infinity Gauntlet being continually drained of its energy.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
However, at this moment, an ear-piercing alarm sounded throughout the base, and George had been discovered.
"It's amazing they have thermal sensors installed; the defense is really stringent."
He stopped using the phantasm spell and walked calmly to the machine extracting energy from the Infinity Gauntlet.
The machine continuously drew energy from the Infinity Gauntlet, converting it into stable blue energy, sealed in glass jars and transported along a conveyor belt to the rear room.
Picking up a glass jar from the conveyor belt, he reached out, opened it, closed his eyes, and began to meditate, trying to absorb the energy within.
A moment later, he smiled as he opened his eyes.
"It works!"
The blue energy in the glass jar can be absorbed by him through meditation, just like a magic crystal, to enhance his magical power.
"What kind of person are you!"
At this moment, a small team of Hydra soldiers, carrying energy rifles, rushed into the room and saw George. They immediately lifted their guns and aimed at him.
But before they could pull the trigger, their energy rifles forcibly flew out of their hands, pointing directly at their own heads, and dealt them a merciless shot.
Although the energy rifle uses energy as a weapon, the gun itself is still made of metal construction, and as long as there is metal, George can control it.
Ignoring the dead Hydra soldiers, George turned off the machine's power switch, took out a small box from his transformation space, and began to put the entire machine and Infinity Gauntlet into the box.
