"That should do it." I pulled the alligator skinned bag over my shoulder.
"So, you are leaving?" The Lord personally came to say goodbye.
"Yes, my lord. I have to get back to my mother." He nodded at the mention of my mother.
"Family always comes first." He smiled. "Unless you are a king and have to take care of your subjects as well… Then, it all comes down to the needs of your subjects."
True, if you are a king you have to put your subject above yourself and your family.
He is a good King. And as a farewell gift-
I may or may not have poisoned his traitor of a bodyguard who again… may or may not have been plotting a revolt.
Poison doesn't affect me. So, gulping down a drink mixed with slow poison doesn't affect me at all… cue to last night's shared drink.
"It was an honor to be able to make a deal with you, my lord." The price is cheap for such a rare metal. Only some shiny metals and clothes.
"I will be taking my leave."
"Do you have a medium to return to your land?" Zala walked towards me with her sabertooth.
And now that I think about it… I told my pilot to not look for me. Not that I cannot get back on my own, but it will be kind of troublesome.
"No, I don't." I said with a shake of my head. "I got here by accident, I had no plans of making this deal in the beginning either… but it turned out well for both parties."
"If you want, I can help you reach the end of our lands. After that, you will be on your own." That's acceptable.
I turned to look at the lord. "Then I will be taking my leave, my lord."
He nodded. "You are welcome here anytime, Marcellus. But you cannot bring anyone else with you."
I nodded. "Don't worry, I won't." Why would I even give them the location to the savage lands?
…
…
"So… are you going to return one day?" The princess asked as we both rode her sabertooth.
"I will. We are business partners now." And I am not letting this partnership end. "So, I will be back from time to time."
"You better be." She mumbled.
"Huh? Did you say something."
"No. Just hold tight, we will be increasing our pace." To be honest, I did hear her. After all, I have enhanced senses.

It took us around half an hour to reach the ice lands. It was Antarctica after all. The greenery of the Savage Lands might seem like your tropical places but you cannot forget that it is situated in Antarctica.
"We are here." She said before getting off Lola, with me doing the same.
"So, this is goodbye… for now." I said with a smile.
"Yeah"
Just as I was about to turn around…
*Smooch*
She gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"That's goodbye." She looked into my eyes before jumping onto Lola's back. "Don't die before returning."
What's that supposed to mean? You will die… but not me.
"I won't."
She rushed back with a speed faster than before… leaving me on my own.
Now, I need to find a port. Were there any ports in Antarctica?

And there were none. Well technically there were two but none of them were working and considering that I came here illegally, there was no way that I could access them.
But finally, I am back home. How did I get back?
Don't ask!
"Boys, send these to Deadpool, Betty, Domino, Moon Knight, and Sable. We have octopuses to kill." The ninjas took the files and vanished instantly.
"What will you be doing?" Sebastian asked.
"I want to draw their attention as my aim is something completely different." This confused him.
"What is that?"
"You will find out soon enough. I have some things to take care of. So, if you will excuse me." He nodded.
"Alright. Call me if necessary." This made me give him a nod.
Now, I need to do something that I have planned for ages.
…
…
My lab looked like the laboratories of those mad scientists that plan world domination. There were humongous glass tanks filled with various liquids all around the room. But what I was looking for… was something entirely different.
After three minutes of walking inside the lab… there it was. A 40 feet tall machine with tubes attached to every side of its main body.
It was an element infuser. One of my best creations.
It can break down the molecular bonds of the element and infuses it with another one. These are mostly done through changing the ionic bonds as directly forcing a molecule on another might do more harm than good. So this machine creates a suitable covalent bond between the elements artificially.
This would have been theoretically impossible if not for the blueprints that I got from Essex. That man had made the blueprint for an entirely different project but the base was the same. So with a little tinkering, I was able to build this masterpiece.
So, what was I going to do with it? Well, it was pretty simple.
I took out the piece of anti-metal that I brought with me and put it at the top chamber of the machine. And after turning it on, the metal soon started changing into liquid.
"Deep breaths, take deep breaths." I told myself… as what I was going to do was going to be painful, extremely painful.
I look at the two sockets that were open with a green switch above it. I pressed the button and took another set of deep breaths.
"Well, here goes everything!" I drew out my claws and shoved it inside the sockets.
*AAAHHH* I felt myself screaming as the metal clenched onto my claws, entering every pore within them. Nails are porous so the metal residues can enter my bloodstream which I do not want. So, using the medical arts that I learned from Shifu, I forcefully blocked the blood flow to my hands.
That's a harmful thing to do, but my regeneration helps to avoid most damage.
It took a few minutes before the metal cooled down and my claws adjusted to it. The melted skin around my nails soon started regrowing and soon it went back to the perfect state… revealing ten beautifully shining purple claws.
These were anti-metal claws similar to those that Black Panther had. But how the hell did he even find the anti-metal? And another thing that I am salty about is the fact that he never used the claws to their full potential.
But!
This was it! This was what I was waiting for before facing HYDRA.
I looked around and found an iron table on my left. A feral grin appeared on my face as my claws glowed purple.
"Let's test you babies, out." I slowly brought my claws near the table… and there it was!
The table started melting! It didn't even take ten seconds for the table to melt into liquid!
The best part was that it didn't melt the iron using heat. It broke the atomic and molecular bonds of the metal turning it into a liquid… a cold liquid.
Finally, I have it. And I can create countless weapons with it now.
"I am coming for you Hive! I am coming for you!"
