With a bang, the Beast landed at the very bottom of the mine.
The Beast excitedly approached a stone wall, casually dealt with the S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians still researching inside, and devoured them. The Beast touched the cracked stone wall with its hand, feeling a bit strange.
"According to Alexandra's memory, shouldn't there be a seal here? Why is even the wall shattered?"
The Beast was puzzled but still mobilized its black energy, eroding the cracked stone wall.
A large hole was corroded into the stone wall, revealing a huge cavity behind it.
"Where is King's Dragon Bone? Shouldn't the Dragon Bone be huge? There's still Its scent here, so why is there nothing?"
The Beast rummaged around in the cave for a long time and finally found a white bone among the rubble.
Holding the stray cat's white bone that Lionel had thrown in before leaving, the Beast looked utterly confused, "Is the Divine Dragon's skeleton this small? And this shape doesn't look like a Dragon Bone at all?"
But the situation was very urgent, and the Beast didn't hesitate much. Its mouth stretched wider and wider, directly swallowing the cat bone. After a few chews, the Beast felt that the texture of the bone in its mouth wasn't quite right.
Ptooey!
The Beast spat out a clump of cat fur. Looking at the black cat fur on the ground, the Beast grew even more puzzled, "Does a Divine Dragon grow fur?"
After savoring it for a while, its body still hadn't changed. The Beast finally realized something was wrong. What it had swallowed was not a Divine Dragon's skeleton at all, but a wild cat that some scoundrel had put in.
"Damn it, it must be those humans! Even if King is expelled from Earth by the Ancient One, King will make them pay the price!"
The enraged Beast directly transformed into black energy and flew towards the entrance.
"The monster went in?"
Crossbones Rumlow, holding an energy gun, looked at the mine entrance and asked Coulson. Behind him were several Agents carrying the same weapons.
Coulson looked at the device in his hand and said to Crossbones, "The nearby probes show that after the monster dealt with the surrounding Agents, it jumped inside. There might be something in there that interests it. Stay alert, the monster could come out at any moment."
An angry roar echoed from within the mine. The Agents immediately prepared for battle, aiming their all-annihilating energy guns at the mine entrance.
Before the being emerged, a violent black energy burst out, directly corroding the mine entrance clean. Then, the extremely enraged Beast charged out.
"Damn humans, to toy with a great Demon God! You will pay the price for this!"
"Attack!"
Not intimidated by the Beast's aura, Crossbones Rumlow immediately ordered an attack.
The combat personnel, who had already aimed, immediately pulled the triggers of their new weapons. Azure energy rays shot towards the leaping Beast.
The Beast opened its mouth, ready to mock how foolish humans were, that weapons that could fire metal were long useless against it, and yet they still used them to attack.
Forming a shield of black energy with its hand, the Beast began to scoff: "Foolish humans—"
As the rusty voice just sounded, the Beast's eyes widened in shock. Its arm and body had been hit by the blue ray and were beginning to disappear.
"The power of space? How do you possess such an ability?"
Under the dense ray attack, the Beast stared intently at the energy guns in the combat team's hands. Finally, it understood something, "It's the energy of the Space Stone! No wonder!"
Under the gaze of the Agents, the Beast dissipated into the air.
"Finally dealt with!" Seeing the Beast dissipate before him, Coulson finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid of more trouble causing greater casualties.
However, thinking of the completely destroyed street, Coulson's head ached again. He didn't know how to explain it to Director Fury.
Crossbones Rumlow volunteered to Coulson and the others, "I'll take some men down to check what attracted that monster."
"Be careful." Coulson didn't sense anything amiss and, after a warning, began to deal with the mess left by the battle.
Crossbones Rumlow gestured to his team members with his eyes, then they all entered the mine.
They were all HYDRA spies, and volunteering was also to find out what was inside the mine before Coulson, a true S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, could, and what The Hand was so desperate to obtain.
However, what awaited them inside, besides the bodies of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, was only a certain amount of cat fur.
On a street not far from Fisk Tower, Lionel and Makima were observing the battle inside from the perspective of a wild cat.
Seeing the Beast being dispersed by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s energy weapons, Lionel was a bit taken aback. S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed to be using weapons developed by HYDRA during World War II with the Tesseract:
"We seem to be late. That demon was killed so carelessly."
Makima, however, shook her head and said, "He's not dead, he's just severely injured and escaped. He's at that location now." Makima pointed her finger towards another alley.
"He's not dead after that? As expected of a Dimensional Demon God!" Lionel looked in the direction Makima was pointing, but he saw nothing but the alley.
"Then let's go take a look, don't let him escape."
In the alley, the Beast, barely suppressing its body from being annihilated by space with black energy, slumped on the garbage-strewn ground. It cursed viciously:
"Damn humans, why do they have the energy of the Space Stone? What right do they have to use the Space Stone! If King could get the Space Stone, if King could get the Space Stone, King would be the first to drive the Ancient One out of the Real Dimension, and then use the Space Stone to devour other alien dimensions. King would become a powerful Dimensional Demon God like Cyttorak, like Chthon!"
The Beast, beginning to daydream, fantasized about a bright future after obtaining the Space Stone.
A wild cat jumped into the alley. Although its fur was covered in grime, it had a formidable presence. With golden eyes, it slowly walked towards the Beast, elegant and domineering, like a lion inspecting its territory.
"Where did this stray cat come from! Get lost!"
Now, whenever the Beast saw a cat, it would recall the swapped Dragon Bone, and its anger flared. It raised a hand and threw a ball of black energy at the black cat.
However, the black cat was incredibly agile. With a leap, it dodged the black energy attack, its entire body landing directly on the Beast's face, then jumping away before the Beast could grab it.
"Damn wild cat!" The Beast's most hated creatures now, besides humans, were cats. It struggled to stand up, intending to deal with this black cat.
"Why are you like this, demon? Cats are so cute."
A male voice suddenly sounded from behind. The Beast turned back nervously and breathed a sigh of relief when it realized it was two humans, not the mages from Kamar-Taj. It was truly afraid that the Ancient One would come looking for it at this moment; if that happened, it would truly be over.
The humiliation it had suffered during this period would never be avenged, and even this power, which was one-fifth of its true form's strength, would be lost to the Ancient One.
Black energy surged forward; the Beast intended to devour these two demons who had delivered themselves to him, to recover its strength.
Lionel saw the incoming black energy, his eyes instantly turning iridescent. His palm, coated with Armament Haki, swept towards the black energy, and the attacking black energy was popped like a bubble.
The Beast's eyes widened in shock. Its black energy had been dispersed by that human with a wave of his hand! What a joke!
After experimenting with Armament Haki, Lionel felt that he might not need his short dagger anymore. A palm coated with Armament Haki could serve as a tool.
Lionel turned his head and asked Makima:
"Can you control him like this? Do you need any other conditions?"
"No, I can control any creature inferior to me."
