After a full night of sensual pleasure.
All that was left behind was a variety of clothes tossed all over the floor and the lingering scent of ecstasy in the room.
'It was a mistake, almost making me useless. '
Luke scratched his head and thought with annoyance.
Poison Ivy's Pheromone Perfume was really too effective.
It's just that he somewhat ignored the note.
The effect was better between people of the same sex!
Therefore, Luke could almost only watch the 2-hour show and couldn't join the battle much.
Facts proved that if two women had feelings for each other, they would completely forget that there was a man in the room.
He was a master of unparalleled skill but unexpectedly didn't get the chance to prove it.
"Hmm. Can I take the day off, Director?"
Carter asked, with her eyes half-open, embraced Malèna, who was still wandering in a sweet dream. Her voice was extraordinarily charming.
Compared with her usual cold temperament, she was like a different person.
Was this the beauty of developing a new version of the relationship?
"Granted."
Luke took a glance at Malèna and Carter, who were intertwined, and lamented, "Multiplayer-sport is really time-consuming. Morning came before we knew it."
The energetic Lieutenant General extinguished his desire for another battle.
He wasn't a heartless pile driver who only cared about his own pleasure.
'It's time to check S.H.I.E.L.D's work and see if there are any clues about Kang the Conqueror. '
Luke thought silently and left the messy bedroom.
He spent a little time washing and then ordered a hearty breakfast through room service.
Pancakes with syrup, bacon, and eggs, toast with jam.
'It tastes pretty good. '
During the few days he stayed at Kamar Taj, he was served three bland meals a day, which made Luke, who was used to the decadent life of capitalism, a bit uncomfortable.
'I have to keep my original intentions, don't be fooled by sugar-coated bullets. '
After eating a three-person breakfast on his own, Luke finally filled up his empty stomach.
Sex was still a physical workout.
'Has S.H.I.E.L.D. started the SSS program?'
At the corner of the Lieutenant General's eye, he caught a glimpse of several documents placed on the desk in the study. Carter must have purposefully sent them over for him.
Clearly, Luke wasn't a competent Director.
He threw most of his work to Carter and devoted his energy and time to other things.
Nevertheless, the general framework of S.H.I.E.L.D, as well as the future development plan, were formulated by this 'unprofessional' Superman alone.
The SSS plan was one of them!
The predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Brotherhood of the Shield, which gathered many famous people in history, had researched immortality elixirs.
In front of the scale of time, the length of human life was indeed very small, like a single molecule of water in the ocean.
So, Isaac Newton -- yes, that encyclopedic 'all-rounder'-could be ranked among the top ten great geniuses in human history.
He was a member of the Brotherhood of the Shield.
To renew the life of the great prophet Nostradamus, Newton used his wisdom to crack the code of life and developed the real immortal elixir.
It kept Nostradamus alive for centuries, but the side effect was dementia to his brain.
The Brotherhood of the Shield was a great bunch of people who prided themselves on their brilliant minds, genius ideas, and amazing capabilities.
After learning that they were at risk of becoming senile or getting dementia, they would naturally stop using the so-called immortal elixir.
Therefore, the Brotherhood of the Shield destroyed the first batch of finished elixirs.
This shocking secret that could have caused an uproar was concealed if it had been known to the world.
It's just that times had changed, and history had changed.
Although the elixir was gone, the formula was preserved.
It was called the 'Infinity Formula'.
At the beginning of S.H.I.E.L.D., a group of scientists was recruited as the driving force of the research team.
Apart from Howard, Trask, and Dr. Zola, these were some of the top people who significantly increased scientific power.
There was another person who came under Luke's radar, and his name was Berthold Sternberg.
The other party wasn't a famous scientist but a pure scholar.
Professor Sternberg discovered the incomplete 'Infinity Formula' from Hydra's large number of documents and perfected it.
This was the origin of the SSS Project.
Luke, as Superman, didn't have to worry about whether his life would reach the end too soon.
But Malèna and Carter were both ordinary people.
For future consideration, anti-aging agents that could prolong life should definitely be on the agenda.
'Sure enough, as long as the investment is guaranteed and the general direction is correct, any research project would be extremely efficient. '
Luke smiled at the corners of his mouth and flipped through the data.
The anti-aging agent perfected by Professor Sternberg wasn't as potent as Sir Isaac Newton's original version.
The first-generation elixir allowed Nostradamus to live for over ten centuries; saying it was the 'Elixir of Life' wasn't an exaggeration.
Of course, while the effect was good, the side effects were also great.
The famous prophet and astrologer had since become senile and only occasionally regained lucidity.
In layman's terms, it means life +100, IQ -99!
'Has it entered the human clinical trial stage? '
Luke quickly scanned the contents of the data.
Professor Sternberg's anti-aging agent could only dramatically reduce the rate of human aging, not make the user immortal.
It needed regular injections, and once it stopped, they would age rapidly.
It was at least better than dementia and direct intelligence reduction.
"Barely passable."
Luke said regretfully.
If he got the complete 'Infinity Formula', he might reverse engineer the immortal elixir.
Unfortunately, the Brotherhood of the Shield had long since disappeared, and he didn't know on what timeline they would show up again.
Those ruthless people were the real bosses who could trap Celestials to death.
Their daily task was to travel through time and space to solve all kinds of big crises and big events.
"It's him ..."
Luke was a little surprised to see one of the participants in the SSS Project.
A rather young black soldier appeared on one of the participant's profile documents.
His name, 'Nicholas Joseph Fury'.
His resume stated that he served in World War II and later joined the CIA, where he was currently serving as a unit leader for field agents.
The military's assessment of this man was that he had excellent command, combat skills and was an excellent intelligence agent.
"He ended up in my hands."
Luke shook his head and chuckled.
When he established S.H.I.E.L.D., he had thought of looking for Nick Fury, the future candidate for Director.
It's just that, with his own intervention, this braised egg-head might not be able to work as he did on the original timeline.
Superman had changed Captain America's past and interfered with Howard Stark's destiny, which was enough to set off a chain reaction.
Although the bastard always carried a belly full of intrigue, with countless secrets in his head, never fully trusting anyone.
But there was one thing that had to be acknowledged, he was indeed an excellent agent.
Because of his paranoid character, Fury was less likely to trust the federal government.
His moral bottom line was similar to Luke's, ensuring that he could maintain his reasoning at all times, with the greater good in mind.
When necessary, he could make the hard choices.
Of course, the most important point was that Superman would be happy to train a candidate for a future Director personally.
With the gradual expansion of S.H.I.E.L.D, Carter's capacity was limited, and she couldn't handle all the work.
This was when a chess piece was needed!
Nick Fury was undoubtedly a good choice.
'Good. '
Luke closed the profile and said, "It's time to meet, Director Fury."
