Chapter 97: Fury's Multiple Choice Questions
An oval-shaped object glowing blue, suspended in Ethan's palm.
Such a thing that looked like a glowing pebble attracted everyone's attention, and since everyone had never really seen the Infinity Stones, they were curious and at the same time, they were a little suspicious that the one in Ethan's hand was also a real Infinity Stone?
"It looks like an ordinary stone. ”
"It's originally a stone, otherwise why is it called an Infinity Stone?" Ethan shrugged his shoulders and put away his magic power, and the 'Infinity Stone' condensed by the magic power in his palm directly turned into mist and drifted away.
Compared to the true appearance of the Infinity Stones, Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner are more concerned about the means Ethan has just used.
"Is this magic?"
Ethan nodded, he deliberately used this way to show the appearance of the Infinity Stones, which was to show his means.
This doesn't prove how strong his strength is, but normal people are always full of fear of some mysterious things, and the identity of Mage Ethan naturally has this advantage: "It's just a small skill, strictly speaking, it can't reach the level of magic." ”
"What kind of magic did you use just now?" Bruce Banner was more interested in the nature of the energy in Ethan's hands, and if possible, he even wanted to analyze it carefully, what was the so-called magic?
"That's my own magic......" Ethan knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Bruce Banner's appearance, and directly made him give up that idea: "There is no need to consider analyzing the characteristics of magic, because magic is not a fixed energy, and there are various differences depending on the way the mage practices and personal experience. Even if two people use the same kind of energy, there will be some different changes depending on the mage. ”
Hearing Ethan's explanations, Bruce Banner immediately understood that it was not feasible to study magic at all, and from what Ethan revealed, he knew that magic was some kind of energy that made a personal mark.
"Focus, gentlemen!" Fury was also interested in the mysterious power of magic, but that wasn't the most important thing right now. Seeing that the topic was deviating, he immediately opened his mouth to attract everyone's attention again: "Let's continue to discuss the matter of the Infinity Stones." ”
Fury saw that everyone did not object, so he turned his head and continued to ask Ethan: "Is the information of the Infinity Stones a secret in the universe?"
Ethan carefully recalled the details of all the Marvel movies he had seen at the beginning, and finally came to some conclusions based on the scenes played out in the movies: "For some powerful beings, the Infinity Stones are not a secret. For most civilizations in the universe and ordinary life, they are unaware of the existence of the Infinity Stones. ”
In layman's terms, everyone who is qualified knows it, and those who don't know it are not qualified to know.
The earth is not qualified to know, even if there is an earth human beings who get the cosmic Rubik's Cube, they don't know what it is, and after decades of research, they only found that it contains a huge amount of energy, and the energy is so huge that it is almost infinite - maybe there is a limit, but with their current technology, it cannot be detected.
"In other words, actually a lot of people know about this thing and know what it does, if they want to get it......"
"Now that the location of the Cosmic Cube has been revealed, they will definitely come to Earth. ”
The situation is definitely not optimistic, this situation means that Loki's event is not a single event, as long as the Cosmic Cube is still on Earth, then an existence like Loki will continue to kill.
Through Thor, Fury has learned that there are higher-level civilizations in the universe, with more powerful lifeforms, and according to the information given by Ethan, those who know and have the heart to obtain the Infinity Stones must belong to one of the two, and even high-level lifeforms with advanced technology, similar to the Asgardian Protoss.
This also means that the earth is at an absolute disadvantage in the face of these people's invasion.
Fury stopped talking, although he had thought of a similar situation, but he didn't expect that the situation was much worse than he thought at the beginning, how should this situation be solved? He didn't even think that his Avengers plan could cope with this situation.
"If it's such a troublesome thing, why do we have to find it? Wouldn't it be nice to let that Loki take it away?"
It was, of course, Bruce Banner who said this.
Fury, who was present as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., a senior agent, and a man known as the King of Agents, how could he casually abandon such an important thing? Even if this thing would cause huge trouble, he would not casually let people take away the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Steve Rogers, who has been silent, also thinks that this kind of troublesome thing is far better, but it should never be taken away by Loki, because Loki has shown a considerable degree of hostility, and according to the attitude he showed before, Steve feels that this guy will do something on Earth next, and it is definitely not something beneficial to the earthlings.
"It's not that simple, Loki didn't just take the Rubik's Cube, he also controlled many people with strange abilities, and we have to rescue them all. ”
Fury's reason is very lofty, and even Bruce Banner, who doesn't have a half-favorable opinion of institutions like S.H.I.E.L.D., doesn't have any reason to oppose it.
"Ethan, that's why I asked Coulson to ask you for help, can you remove that ability?"
"There are many kinds of means of control and the like, and I can't give you an accurate answer until I've really touched it, I need to see it with my own eyes...... At the very least, you have to find someone who is controlled by Loki to come to a conclusion. ”
He wasn't worried about ordinary mind control methods, he believed that he had the means to crack them. He wasn't quite sure about Loki's this, because Loki controlled the man with the scepter in his hand, which should have been given to him by Thanos, Thanos.
The scepter itself is so strong that it can be used as a melee weapon to go head-to-head with Mjolnir, but the scepter's biggest secret is the gem set in the middle of the blade.
No one would have imagined that Sanos, who was bent on collecting all the gems, would hide the Mind Gem in the scepter and give it to Loki.
Perhaps Thanos wanted Loki to take this scepter inlaid with the Mind Gem to occupy the Earth and bring back the Cosmic Cube containing the Space Gem to himself.
It's just that Loki didn't succeed, not only did he fail to get back the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but he even lost the Mind Gem on Earth.
Coupled with the Eye of Agamotto, which has been kept by the mages of Kama Taj, that is, the Time Stone, there are three Infinity Stones on the small earth at this time, which can only be said to be the 'center' of this world.
Ethan was pondering a few Infinity Stones, while Fury was pondering how to resolve the incident, and now it was not Loki's problem that gave him a headache, but a series of effects caused by Loki's appearance.
Loki has to deal with it, and the Cosmic Cube has to be snatched back.
And then what?
According to the information gathered before, the appearance of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube on Earth seems to be related to the Asgardian Protoss, and it is very likely that the Asgardian Protoss deliberately stored it on the Earth a long time ago.
After all, the earth is a backward and remote place in the eyes of many civilizations in the universe, and it is impossible for the earthlings to know the secrets of the Infinity Stones, so it should be a safe choice to store this thing on the earth.
From this point of view, maybe handing it over to the Asgardians is a good choice?
In the original plot, Fury made this choice, although Thor repeatedly emphasized that the cosmic cube is not something that earthlings should 'play with', but Fury was so happy to let Thor take it away, not because he wanted to lose this hot potato and win over the future king of Asgard by the way.
Now for Fury, there is another choice, that is, let the mage from the other world in front of him take the Cosmic Rubik's Cube away.
Fury is very shrewd, he is very good at analysis as a good agent, and from the time Ethan appeared to him constantly revealing the secrets of the Infinity Stones, he already knew what Ethan was up to: the young mage had his eye on the Infinity Stones.
He didn't feel strange, if the Infinity Stones were really a treasure that countless powerhouses in the universe wanted to keep for themselves, as Ethan mentioned, then he would be surprised that this mage didn't want to get it.
He asked Ethan about the Infinity Stones, and Fury was sure that Ethan knew a lot more, but he refused to continue to reveal it to himself, maybe in the eyes of this mage, he belonged to a group that was not qualified to know, right?
It's a bit unpleasant to think about it, but when faced with a magician who can travel freely between multiple worlds and wield magical powers, he can't do anything even if he feels unhappy.
The discussion about the Infinity Stones was over here, and after the quarantine was lifted, Fury asked with a black face if he had found Loki's whereabouts.
Coincidentally, it was at this time that S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered Loki through surveillance, and this guy was swaggering in Stuttgart.
"He didn't even think about hiding. ”
Ethan stood not far away with his arms crossed, and he could clearly see Loki on the surveillance screen, and he was holding the scepter inlaid with the mind gem in his hand.
He was very curious, did Loki know that his scepter was inlaid with a mind gem, and maybe he could ask Loki himself when he was deliberately captured?
Ethan wasn't prepared to participate in this capture, and whoever passed by anyway would be caught.
