Chapter 7: The Gate of the Universe
Sanctuary 2 Ship - Habitation Chamber
Back in his room, Loki sweated profusely and put the Mind Scepter aside, looking down at the Kaedalin crystal on his chest.
"Hey, this thing isn't that good." The room was already covered in his visions, so there was no need to worry about possible surveillance.
Loki took a few breaths, the effect of the Psychic Scepter on him was continuous, and the help of the Kaedalin Crystal was fluctuating, which made him feel like his consciousness was divided into two, but even in a state of being affected, his basic sanity was protected.
Asgard - Library of the Divine Domain
After getting Odin's reply, Atanis went to the library, and spent the daytime fighting and drinking with Thor today, and tomorrow he will leave Asgard, so he has to hurry up and research.
Midgard - S.H.I.E.L.D. Underground Research Institute
"The energy level of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is soaring, notify Director Fury immediately!" Dr. Servig looked nervously at the suddenly activated Cosmic Rubik's Cube, constantly adjusting the parameters, and tried to stop the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but all the operations were meaningless, and the Cosmic Cube lost control.
Nick Fury receives a message from Dr. Servig, and upon learning that the Cosmic Cube is out of control, he immediately rushes to the institute by helicopter.
A long-awaited siren sounded over the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, and all personnel began to evacuate the danger zone, and Nick Fury's helicopter arrived.
"What's going on now?" As soon as Nick Fury got off the plane, he hurriedly asked Coulson, who had come to him, "Worst-case sir, we don't know anything. Coulson's brow furrowed, he checked the surveillance several times, but he didn't find out how the Cosmic Cube was activated.
"Dr. Servig detected the wave of energy released by the Cosmic Cube four hours ago." Coulson reports to Nick Fury what he has.
"We didn't give him the go-ahead for testing." Fury's face is ugly, and the last thing he likes is his self-assertive subordinates.
"He didn't do the test, he wasn't in the lab at all, the Cosmic Cube started on its own." Coulson also had a hard time understanding why the Cosmic Cube would activate on its own, and he wouldn't have been able to trust his eyes if he hadn't checked the monitoring several times.
"The Cosmic Cube starts on its own?" Agent Hill couldn't believe it, she couldn't understand why the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, which S.H.I.E.L.D. had worked so hard to activate, would activate on its own.
"What is the current power level?" Nick Fury is hard to believe, but he hasn't gotten any more information yet, so there's no need to argue with Coulson.
"It was still climbing, and we couldn't stop it, so we evacuated." After receiving the information, Coulson was worried about the dangerous consequences of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, so he ordered the evacuation of all personnel.
"How long will it take to fully evacuate?" Fury is very satisfied with Coulson's behavior, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hard work cannot be in vain, once there is a problem with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, at least other things must be able to be saved.
"It's going to take another half an hour." Coulson was also helpless, the evacuation of personnel could be very fast, but it would be very troublesome to take away the experimental equipment and research results together.
"Speed up the evacuation." Fury instructed Coulson to direct the evacuation, and he and Ciel went to the lab.
Arriving at the door of the laboratory, Fury instructed Hill to take away the prototype of the second stage, which was a variety of weapons and equipment developed based on the power of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
"Tell me what's going on, Doctor." Nick Fury walked into the lab, which was now full of people who were still here, and everyone else had left.
"The situation is very bad, Director, the Cosmic Cube has not only been awakened, but it is also activating on its own." Dr. Servig stepped forward and explained the current situation to Fury.
"Have you ever turned off the power?" Although Fury doesn't know much about the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, he knows that it consumed a lot of power before it was activated during the last experiment.
"It's an energy source in itself, and we can't turn off the Cosmic Cube itself if its energy peaks... Dr. Servig frowned and walked over to his console, where Fury interrupted.
"Isn't that exactly what we want, Doctor, to harness the energy of the universe." Fury looked at the doctor with a serious face, if that's the case, then maybe this time is not a crisis.
"But we can't control it, we're far from using it, it's now releasing gamma rays to interfere with our equipment, and it's not harmful yet." Dr. Servig looked at the control screen in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It may be harmful." Fury's heart jumped when he heard the Gema rays, since he knew that a certain green big man was affected by gamma rays, and the gamma rays were about to be demonized in his eyes.
After reconfirming the situation in the laboratory with Barton, who had been staying here, Fury walked up to the cosmic demon, and Barton came up with a new idea.
"If something does go wrong, it won't be on our end, sir." Barton frowned and looked at the Cosmic Cube in front of him, he had always been extremely vigilant about what S.H.I.E.L.D. had been researching.
"From our side?" Nick Fury was stunned for a moment, "Yes, sir, isn't the Cosmic Cube the Gate of the Universe?" Since it's a door, it can be opened on both sides. Barton said with a serious face.
At this time, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube released a larger energy fluctuation than before, and the entire research base began to shake, and the people in the laboratory involuntarily looked at the Cosmic Rubik's Cube that had changed.
With the convergence of energy, the Cosmic Cube shot out a blue pillar of light from behind, and formed a light cluster several meters high from a few meters away, and after a few seconds, the light cluster exploded outward, and the remaining energy was gathered overhead by the special structure of the laboratory.
After the dazzling light, it was Loki who held the Psychic Scepter in his hand that appeared in the place of the light cluster.
Asgard Golden Palace
As the night passed quietly, the light of dawn lit up Asgard, and Thor and Artanis, together in the main hall.
"Are you ready?" Odin held the Eternal Spear and sat on the throne, in order to suppress his cultivation and not to ascend, he could no longer call on his own power at will, so he would teach Heimdall to execute, Heimdall knelt on one knee: "Get ready, Your Majesty." ”
Odin nodded, and an obscure incantation was pronounced from Heimdall's mouth, and the light of the Rainbow Bridge enveloped Thor and Artanis, sending them away from Asgard.
Just now, Heimdall told Thor that Loki had appeared in Midgard, and Thor was visibly more excited, if he hadn't been able to go directly to Midgard, he would have flown away.
Looking at the two who were far away, Odin's eyes flickered slightly, and countless fates unfolded before his eyes, and this time, they would move towards a better future.
