Chapter 436: Kru Cult
Chapter 436: Kru Cult
Avengers Base
Tony was debugging the newly developed nano-vibranium armor when suddenly Captain America rushed in with a document in his hand.
"What's wrong Steve, in a hurry."
"This is the information SHIELD gave us. Take a look. It's okay to look at it, but you can see the seriousness of the problem at a glance.
“How did this cult religious association give them approval?”
"They took advantage of legal loopholes. What they did and said had nothing to do with a cult, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a cult, but there was no evidence to arrest them. How do you think we should deal with this?"
“Is this cult a big organization now?”
"Big, very big. They are believed by almost all the island countries in Asia, the Universe, India, Laos, Thailand, Mexico and Morocco in America, and all the countries in Europe. It is no exaggeration to say that they have become the second largest religion in the world."
"India? Are you sure?" Tony said with a frown. You know, basically people in India believe in Hinduism or Islam, but now they suddenly believe in such a cult. It's hard to believe.
"Although I don't want to believe it, it is indeed true. Today, the number of his followers has reached an astonishing 2 billion, and the number is still rising steadily. It won't be long before it becomes the world's largest religion. By then, we won't be able to contain it even if we want to." Captain America said anxiously.
“When did this cult appear?”
"I don't know, and no one knows. It's just that suddenly, believers of this cult appeared all over the world, and then they began to recruit new believers frantically. I don't know what methods they used. It was neither brainwashing nor threats. Instead, they joined this cult willingly, and they were very loyal to this cult, so loyal that they became evil. We even used prisoners to let them go undercover in this cult, but in the end they became a member of the cult. Even using truth serum, we couldn't get him to tell his experience. If we force him to do it, he would even choose to commit suicide."
“Is it so outrageous?”
"Yes, it is so outrageous. We didn't believe it at first, until SHIELD captured a family of three. He planned to use the family's relatives to threaten him, but do you know what that person did?"
"He killed his family to prevent threats?" Tony said tentatively.
But what Tony didn't expect was that Steve actually nodded, and now he had no idea what to say.
"Now what does Fury want us to do?"
"He wants me to find out who the bishop of this cult is and why they are so determined to become cult members."
"I understand. I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee it." Tony nodded.
Captain America hesitated for a moment and said, "If it really doesn't work, you can also seek help from the firm."
"No, we can't ask for their help this time."
"why?"
"What was the original intention of our establishment? If we go to the agency whenever we encounter difficulties, then we might as well disband the Avengers and just go to the agency when we have problems."
After hearing this, Captain America lowered his head in shame.
"I'm not saying I'm blaming you, but we haven't even started yet and you're already thinking about asking the firm for help. This isn't okay."
"I know. It's my fault." Captain America left in shame. Looking at his back, Tony wanted to call him, but in the end he didn't say anything. Instead, he began to carefully look through the information in his file.
"Jarvis, check all the information about the Cult of Kru."
"Sir, I can't find any information about this religion on the Internet."
Tony immediately raised his head when he heard Jarvis say this.
"What did you say?"
"Sir, there is no information about this religion on the Internet. None at all. It seems as if it does not exist at all."
After hearing what Jarvis said, Tony felt something was wrong. How could a religion that was not spread on the Internet have believers all over the world? He quickly got up, adjusted his armor, put it on immediately, and then flew towards S.H.I.E.L.D. He soon arrived at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. After getting the gathering points of the Kru religion in various cities, he took a look, determined the nearest gathering point, and flew over quickly.
Soon he arrived and saw countless people gathered in a farm. Among them were old people, children, women, men, basically people of all ages could be found here. Tony floated in the air and turned on the recording mode of the armor, watching their every move below.
Especially when he saw those children and the fanatical look on the old man's face, he even felt fear. He couldn't imagine what he would do if he were faced with the siege of these people. It seemed that he had no choice but to escape, because he couldn't do anything to the old man and the children, even though he knew they were enemies.
"Why are you here?"
Suddenly someone patted Tony on the shoulder, which scared him. When he turned around, he found that the person was Li Qingyue.
"Boss Li, why are you here?"
"I came here to find something." Li Qingyue said, staring down.
"What are you looking for?"
"A part of a living organism." Li Qingyue answered while looking down.
At this time, the bishop of the Kru religion appeared, and he turned out to be Hake, who had not been seen for many days. He had changed at this time. Of course, he was not talking about his appearance, but his temperament. Li Qingyue finally confirmed that the person in front of him was 100% possessed by a small part of that strange creature.
He immediately appeared in front of Hake and wanted to grab him, but Hake smiled slightly and politely stepped back. This step seemed to create a chasm between the two of them. Li Qingyue was surprised. He never thought that his move would fail.
Just when Li Qingyue was surprised, the group of believers below rushed towards him like crazy. Seeing this, Li Qingyue immediately turned around and shot out hot rays of light with his eyes, plowing a line directly on the ground.
"Anyone who crosses this line will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, Li Qingyue turned around and rushed towards Hake again, but the distance between him and Hake was always just a little bit off. After several consecutive attacks, Li Qingyue realized something was wrong. But just as he was staring at Hake, he suddenly heard a movement behind him. He looked back and saw a man crossing the line drawn by Li Qingyue.
"Are you looking for death?" Li Qingyue asked coldly.
The man did not speak, but stared at Li Qingyue fearlessly. Li Qingyue, who was already irritable, came directly in front of the man, grabbed his neck and lifted him up. However, the man was not afraid at all. His face was filled with fanaticism, as if death was a kind of glory that they could not obtain.
It was then that Li Qingyue discovered the problem. He threw the man aside and turned to look at Hack, only to see a strange smile on Hack's face. This smile made Li Qingyue feel cold.
