Chapter 195 The bitter history of the baron
Baron Zemo raised his head without saying a word. His purple mask was pressed against his face tightly, almost as if it had become his skin. The pair of eyes exposed on the mask showed a fierce light that seemed to eat people, and a heavy breath was revealed under the mask.
Zemo has not taken off his face for decades. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that the mask has basically become his face and has no way to take it off. As for why he ended up like this, it has to talk about a series of stories that he and his old rival Captain America had to tell.
Baron Heinrich Zemo joined in the early days of the establishment of the Nazis and was one of the top scientists at that time. With his extraordinary ability and courage, he quickly became a celebrity around Hitler. During the war, he developed a large number of advanced weapons and equipment and auxiliary products for the Nazis, making great contributions. For similar reasons, his power was getting bigger and bigger, almost threatening the status of the Red Skull, who was known as the founder of Hydra.
Zemo was in a smooth life, and everything went well until his archenemy Captain America appeared.
At that time, Zemo was developing a chemical called "adhesive X", which is the most effective adhesive in history even today (although I don't know what the adhesive is for when Hitler was fighting). It was at that time that Captain America broke into Zemo's base. They had a conflict and went through a big battle. During the battle, Zemo was incited by Adhesive X, and he was completely disfigured. Adhesive X glued the mask tightly to his face, and could never be taken down for decades since then.
From then on, Baron Zemo took this as a great humiliation. The Roaring Commando repeatedly blocked his team's actions and destroyed his plans, and he endured it; Captain America destroyed his strongholds and captured his confidant every few days, and he endured it. However, his appearance was destroyed, so he could only show himself to others with a mask in this life, which made people unbearable!
That's why Zemo wanted to take revenge on Captain America, wishing he could even dream of Captain America's death. After the Nazi defeat in World War II, Zemo had disappeared and decided to wash his hands and stop quarreling too much. He found a way to delay his aging. Despite his defeat, he still had endless wealth and resources, enough for him to live his life. He knew clearly that a large number of Hydra's brothers moved underground and lurked into S.H.I.E.D. to wait for a comeback, but because his only nemesis Captain America who wanted to revenge was dead (at least it seemed so at the time), he no longer had the energy and ambition of that year, so he did not participate in Hydra's affairs.
But what he never expected was that after waiting for decades to come to modern times, he thought about it day and night... Ah no, Captain America, who was hated to the core, was back! When he saw the news that Captain America was lifted out of the ice in the news, he almost jumped up excitedly. His ambition seemed to have returned with his hatred for Captain America. So he began to re-plan to regain the Hydra organization from a group of "younger generations", and waited for him to take over the captain's revenge, and perhaps he could conquer the world again...
But before he could do anything, a guy named "Black Knight" suddenly stepped in. Zemo prepared for several years, accumulating strength to slowly regain the control of Hydra bit by bit, but what he didn't expect was that in just one blink of an eye, the "Black Knight" took down the entire Hydra with thunder, and did not even leave some leftovers for him.
So his plan had to change again. He saw his old enemy Captain America find a group of teammates with extraordinary abilities in modern times, called "Avengers", which gave him an idea. He felt that he could also assemble several villains with extraordinary abilities to form an invincible team, and he could use the power of this team to defeat the Black Knight, regain the Hydra, and then take revenge on the Captain.
......And now, his string of "careful arrangements" led him to this point, his hands tied back and kneeled on the ground, and he could do nothing but glaring at the black knight.
"Let's start with this small group you formed." Michael squatted down in front of Zemo and approached him.
"You are quite prepared. Gamma Monster, super mercenary, and strengthening people. It is indeed a smart move to recruit Arthur Banks. His laser control and form change tricks are really useful. Maybe you had the chance."
He paused for a moment.
"But what I care about is how you recruited the witch of Asgard," he said. "I'm wondering what conditions can you give her to make a conceited and arrogant Asgard, willing to condescend and join you."
Zemo glared: "We have the same purpose."
"Conquer the world? I'm afraid the earth is not that attractive to her."
Michael weighed the scepter he had received from him.
"Do you know what this is?"
Zemo snorted and did not answer.
Michael didn't mind either. He stood up and turned the scepter around his hand. Then he suddenly tried to force it, and his arm armor outputted power at the same time, shaking the scepter into two pieces with a violent and crisp sound. A blue light spit out from the scepter like smoke, and the dark blue light at the tip of the scepter was extinguished, like a luminous toy with a battery exhausted.
Loki's scepter hides the soul stone, one of the six infinite stones, with endless energy, and it is impossible to be extinguished so easily.
So that means the scepter is a fake.
Baron Zemo was surprised and subconsciously said, "How...?"
"So it seems you really don't know." Michael said lightly, "You were fooled by the witch. She was not obeying you at all, Zemo, there is someone else behind her. And the only value you have to her is just this scepter. But it seems that you are not very good at the leader, and you didn't even realize when this thing was dropped by her..."
When I think about it, Zemo seemed to be quite miserable. It was difficult for him to put such a lot of effort into gathering such a team, but the team members were more and more unreliable. First, I imitated the master and collected some money and became a 25-year-old boy. The witches should not use the same picture. The only contribution they made was to get them such an inside line, Venom. Then the soul-catching ghost was even more powerful. Before he started fighting, he was first exposed to Venom. During the decisive battle, he lay on the ground and lie on the ground and lie on the water...
As the team leader, it seems that the worst is probably the case.
"Amora..." Zemo gritted his teeth, "I want to kill her... No, before that, I want to make her life worse than death..."
"Let's worry about that part, you may not have a chance."
Michael threw the two broken scepters to the ground and retreated. Zemo obviously had no information he needed.
"Venom." He waved to the side, "He is yours."
Venom showed joy on his face, and he spitted out his long tongue and showed off his neat and pointed and thin teeth.
"Finally," he said with a grim smile, "it's time to start."
"No, no...no!!!"
Zemo shouted loudly, and the echoes echoed violently in the hall until they suddenly came to an abrupt end.
