Chapter 105: The legendary stone

Whitehall and others had a bad premonition when Rogers said that. He was the last to enter the quinjet. The ninjas walked away from the island and stood a distance away from the island as John had directed them to. There were other quinjets hovering outside over the sea to take them away.

John actually let the lords die. Even though he gave free will to all his summons they could never act against John or his friends. So when Hydra first contacted them with the notion of making plans, it was doomed to fail.John later contacted Orochimaru to help him set up bodies and set the whole plot. The lords were led to death because their death didn't really matter to him and it would make the story more believable. Even in his previous life John didn't like the lords.

He will make kages as the lords of the countries. It was better that way and everything would be in better control. The ninjas stood on the water looking out for agents and people who might try to swim away. Some even tried to swim but the ninjas attacked and made them unable to take a single more step outside. Now everybody were desperate.

Most of the members of Hydra present in the island were high level members, like Gideon Mallick, Whitehall, Pierce, Rumlow, Mitchell Carlson and various others. Now they had no idea what was going to happen and they could do nothing to stop.

After Fury and their quinjets hovered few meters away from the island, Tony finally couldn't stand it and said

"Shall we start? I can't wait for these maggots to die."

"Haha.. Fine. Trigger the transmutation circle." John said. Tony clicked a remote button and the next moment everybody could see a red thin lightning all over the island. The red lightning was so bright that it was visible from many kilometres away.

The red lightning didn't actually harm anybody in the island instantly and everybody were confused about what happened. Rumlow who was watching this finally remembered a story and he screamed

"You piece of s**t! You want to make philosophers stone from our dead souls. This is inhumane even for you."

Sadly nobody in the quinjet could hear Rumlow. After couple of seconds as the lightning galloped over the island all the agents died without leaving anything. This was the transmutation circle for making philosophers stone. A stone with which a person can perform alchemy while ignoring the rule of equivalent exchange.

It means a person can create anything out of thin air if he knows alchemy. But the philosophers stone that John had now created would be an incomplete one. In order to make a complete one, probably a country needed to be sacrificed.

After a minute or so when the lightning died, John and others returned to the island. Tony switched off the working of the circle and all went in to the center of the island. John and Tony had drawn the circle long before Hydra arrived at the island. So hydra never noticed the drawings on the ground which was hidden by leaves and sand.

At the center of the island there was a small red stone lying on the ground. John went and picked it up. He could feel the power of the stone already from the alchemic reactions on the tattoos. He snapped his fingers while directing his hands above. Instantly a huge burst of red fire blasted above.

The heat of the fire was so high that everybody had to step behind. The fire reached a massive distance of almost a kilometre.

"So this is the power of philosophers stone. Man the stone in Harry Potter movie is a joke. This is what real power looks like. What are you going to do with it John?" Tony said as he didn't ask for the stone. The knowledge of alchemy wasn't his to belong with.

"Keep it for rainy weather. This experimentation never happened and no records would be made for it." John said as he looked at Fury.

"Yes. This thing never happened. This much power should not ever come in public." Steve said. As he too saw the power of a snap, though John could always create fire before with a snap but this was too much. A kilometre long fire trail sent chills in everybody's spine.

Fury nodded to it as he too felt it was too strong. "Sure on the condition that the stone will only be used in emergencies."

"What do you think of me? A world conqueror? Do you think I have so much free time to do that." John retorted.

"Okay lets go back. We have work to do and you John have a lot of apologizing to do. What are you going to say to the public?" Tony said with a mocking smile. Even though they were friends, in business point of view they were rivals.

"What are you smiling for? Did you forget the new company we just created?" John said.

"Fine.. Fine.. This little head can't even take a joke." Tony lamented.
