Time passed, day by day.
Wang Ye immersed himself in studying his duplication talent and the tenfold multiplier effect. It was hard to deny the sheer power of these abilities—so potent they bordered on being game-breaking bugs.
In the office
Wang Ye was relaxing with his eyes closed. After completing a long mission, Jon finally returned to the base and knocked lightly on the door.
"Leader!"
Wang Ye opened his eyes slightly and nodded.
"Come in. Has the mission to regroup the elite forces from all bases been completed?"
"Report, Leader!
The regrouping mission has been successfully completed! All elite personnel have now arrived at the Norwegian headquarters.
The stationed personnel at the bases have no suspicions and see this as a routine troop transfer.
Additionally, your new identity has been fully prepared. Please review it."
Jon respectfully handed over a folder.
Wang Ye accepted it and skimmed through the contents.
Name: Ye Wang
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Background: Originally a wealthy estate owner in Norway, persecuted during wartime and forced to seek refuge in Brooklyn, New York...
"Excellent!
I will personally oversee the construction of the new headquarters. In my absence, you are to ensure the security of the Norwegian base and handle any unexpected situations…"
After issuing detailed instructions, Wang Ye dismissed Jon, who promptly left to carry out the tasks.
With a cigar in hand, Wang Ye leaned back, watching the smoke curl through the air. His gaze seemed to penetrate the vast night sky, as though the stars themselves twinkled in his eyes.

Over the next few days, Wang Ye wielded his extraordinary spatial powers to carve out a massive 100,000-square-kilometer space, complete with a spatial gateway. Through it, Hydra's engineering teams and construction materials were transported en masse.
(This dimension's area is calculated in square kilometers rather than cubic ones because its height isn't relevant here—it's like a miniature world, and the area gives a clear sense of its size.)
This colossal undertaking spanned three months. Thanks to Hydra's formidable engineering capabilities, the new headquarters was finally complete.
Wang Ye stood on the top floor of the Allen Tower, the new HQ's central administrative building, gazing down through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the busy figures below.
Behind him, Dr. Zola stood with a report as thick as a brick, passionately detailing the progress of their research on the Cosmic Cube and the spaceship project over the past three months.
"Leader, the Cosmic Cube energy project has achieved groundbreaking success.
After numerous experiments, we've artificially synthesized three new types of super elements, each containing immense energy.
A 10-cubic-centimeter piece of We1 element contains as much energy as a young star.An equivalent amount of Wr2 element holds double that energy.The Wt4 element contains quadruple the energy of a star.
These elements are just the beginning. I believe further research will yield even more!
Additionally, I've successfully developed a stable spatial gateway using energy extracted from the Cosmic Cube. Although the prototype consumes a significant amount of energy, I've devised an optimization plan. With further refinements, the energy requirements can be minimized…"
Zola's voice was filled with enthusiasm, despite the exhaustion evident in his bloodshot eyes. His excitement only grew as he presented his findings.
Wang Ye listened intently, his astonishment growing with each revelation. He had initially tempered his expectations for the Cosmic Cube's potential but now realized he had underestimated Dr. Zola's genius.
Not only had Zola synthesized three groundbreaking super elements in a matter of months, but his research hinted at even more possibilities. The development of a spatial gateway and its practical application further demonstrated his brilliance.
"Dr. Zola, your research is integral to our success.
However, its significance also demands absolute secrecy. Upon returning, archive all research reports as classified. Only you and I will have access to them."
Wang Ye issued the order, his tone firm. Zola, still buzzing with energy, respectfully acknowledged the directive.
"Since the spatial gateway is operational, deploy personnel immediately to set up the equipment at the Norwegian headquarters. Connect the locations and transfer the elite forces, along with Jon, to the new headquarters," Wang Ye continued.
Zola nodded, carefully organizing his research materials before responding.
"We can pinpoint the Norwegian headquarters' coordinates and open a one-way gateway to send a team over. They'll install the receiving gateway, creating a two-way portal. This process will take about thirty minutes.
It's currently 3 a.m.; the entire transfer will be completed before 6 a.m."
Wang Ye nodded approvingly.
"Dr. Zola, your contributions are invaluable, but take care of yourself. A healthy body is crucial. Once Jon arrives, he'll oversee all headquarters operations, giving you more time to focus on your research.
With the headquarters operational, I'll be stepping away for a while. Do not disturb me unless absolutely necessary."
After delivering his instructions, Wang Ye donned his hat and opened a spatial portal. With a final glance at Zola, he stepped through, disappearing into the shimmering gateway.
Left alone, Zola returned to his lab, fully absorbed in his work. For him, research was far more fulfilling than rest.
