Chapter 102: Trap
With Thor's involvement, the rescue operation was quick and efficient, and it didn't take long for them to find Dr. Servig, who was assembling the teleportation device, with the help of Hawkeye Clint Barton.
In the report of Black Widow's return, Fury learns that the situation is really urgent, and if they are a little slower, Servig will take the machine and a group of mercenaries to storm the Stark Tower, using the Ark reactor in the Stark Building to activate the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, thus opening a huge and stable portal.
"What? They want to take over my Stark Mansion!"
Tony was furious when he heard Loki's plan, eager to open the cell and rush in, using all the weapons on the steel armor to give this guy an all-round coverage attack.
"The building is a nice place. ”
It's tall and conspicuous, and there's a reactor inside, which not only meets Loki's needs in terms of function, but also satisfies his mental needs, after all, Loki and Tony are the same kind of people in some ways.
Relying on the glass wall, Loki faced Tony Stark very calmly, not afraid that this guy would rush in. Tony wouldn't really be brain-dead enough to rush in and go head-to-head with an Asgardian Protoss in a small space, and the end would only be his abused lust to death.
"Is this settled?"
Thor rescued those who were controlled by Loki, and Ethan also lifted the control magic on these people, ensuring that no hidden dangers would be left behind.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. people, who were originally facing a great enemy, found that the matter was very simple and was solved, and Fury even wondered if he was making too much fuss? Maybe this time the matter was not so dangerous at all.
Thor flew back and forth a few times, only Captain America really made a move, and there was no other battle, the only danger was that when Hawkeye was controlled by the other party, the other party approached the aerospace aircraft carrier very easily, if it wasn't for the mysterious Diana, S.H.I.E.L.D. might have suffered a big loss in this raid.
"When did this big problem, which should have been tricky, change its flavor?"
Fury is an experienced and well-minded elite agent who quietly sorts everything through and quickly sorts out the key points.
His method is not complicated, just to weed out all the people involved in the matter and speculate on the direction of the matter.
He was surprised by the results, and after eliminating Ethan, he realized that things could turn out for the worse.
As the crowd reunited, Servig and Hawkeye also 'explained' Loki's plan one after another, so Fury already knew Loki's full plan.
If Ethan hadn't shown up to interfere with anything, Loki's plan would have most likely been successful. The chaotic S.H.I.E.L.D. will certainly not be able to stop Loki from opening a huge and stable portal in the sky over New York in time, sending an endless army of Zetarians.
If this happens, even if they manage to repel the enemy in the end, the cost will be very heavy, and this has always been something that S.H.I.E.L.D. has tried to avoid, and if it happens, it will mean the defeat of S.H.I.E.L.D.
In fact, the work of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the original plot was really a failure, and the final victory belonged to the Avengers, not S.H.I.E.L.D., not to mention that S.H.I.E.L.D. also threw a nucleus very slowly.
What Captain America and Iron Man think of Ethan doesn't know, he only knows that if his comrade who should be on his side gives him a shot from behind when he is fighting a bloody battle with the enemy, he will definitely not let that person go.
The fools of the World Security Council should be glad that the nuclear bomb didn't hit the Avengers, because they attacked the first heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Asgard from behind, and if that happened, it would be a lot of fun.
"It's a pity that I can't see this scene anymore. ”
The matter was unexpectedly resolved, and the next thing to discuss was how to deal with a series of finishing touches.
Although Loki is the absolute main culprit, because many plans have been sabotaged and have not really caused much damage to the earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. has no opinion on Loki being taken back to Asgard by Thor.
For the two Infinity Stones, Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. have no say. After Thor got the Infinity Stones back, he had made it clear that this thing could not be left on Earth, and that didn't look like a negotiation, but a very direct notification to Fury.
Fury had absolutely no idea that Thor's crude nerves could not have imagined this, and it was Ethan who used the spirit link to remind this friend that "things like the Cosmic Rubik's Cube are not suitable for staying on Earth", and he remembered that he had to take this thing with him.
Fury couldn't detect this magic at all, just as an attitude on the part of Asgard. He now wanted Ethan to get custody of one of the Infinity Stones.
"So there's only one last question, what should be done with the Zetarians that Loki is going to attract?"
The Zetari army is a problem that cannot be ignored, although the portal will not be opened, it does not mean that the threat of the Zetari army does not exist, since this group of locusts in the universe is eyeing the earth, then if they do not give a certain heavy damage, then they will kill the earth sooner or later.
"Asgard will protect the Earth from the armies of Zetari. ”
Thor still said this, and he was full of confidence in Asgard's combat effectiveness, and didn't think that these guys would be able to break through Asgard's defense line and kill Earth.
However, this time Ethan was not on Thor's side: "If I'm not mistaken, there are actually many spatial rifts between the nine kingdoms that can be exploited. ”
All eyes were on Ethan, and Thor didn't know what Ethan meant by suddenly mentioning it.
"This means that even without teleportation through the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, there is a possibility of bypassing the Asgardian defenses. Ethan personally doesn't like the feeling of being remembered, and he helps Fury think about it, and it is estimated that the king of agents does not like this feeling either: "The Earth has been targeted by the Zetarians, who can guarantee that they will not find another way to come to Earth after Loki's defeat?"
"So ......?"
"So I suggest that this hidden danger be removed. ”
This proposal was very much to Fury's liking, and it would have been nice to be able to kill the threat once and for all. But the current situation is very embarrassing, how can they deal with the Zetari army who don't know where in the universe?
There were no real fools present, and almost everyone had thought of a solution, all focusing on Thor's cosmic cube.
They all came up with a solution: as long as they continued to build the instrument that Loki had asked Dr. Servig to make, and then used the Cosmic Cube to open a portal, the Zetarians who had been waiting on the other side of the gate would appear in front of everyone.
"Open the portal and lure the Zetarians over?"
Nick Fury began to wonder about the feasibility of this plan. The benefits of this are obvious, they can choose the right battlefield in advance, send enough troops to set up an ambush, and wait for the Zetari army to fall into the trap.
"Not only do we have to bring them in, but we also have to think about going through the portal to the other side and completely defeating these guys to ensure that they don't come back. ”
There seems to be nothing wrong with this plan, and the most important thing is that after controlling the portal, the initiative of the war is on their side.
It's up to them to decide when to fight and when to stop, and if the situation is not right, they can completely close the portal.
It is even possible to open a batch to enter, then close the portal and annihilate all the opponent's vanguard forces, and then release another batch to come in depending on the situation - but no one thinks that the Zetarians have a low IQ enough to constantly use refueling tactics, as long as they can ensure that they can close the portal when necessary, and greatly weaken the opponent's combat power, so that they dare not attack Earth again, it is considered a victory.
It is unlikely that the opponent will be completely wiped out. The key problem is that the earth does not have the ability to fight in the universe, and no one knows what the situation is on the other side of the portal, and if it is the space of the universe, the army on the earth will have no choice.
"I need to talk to the council about that. ”
Fury left directly, Maria Hill had already been busy with other things, S.H.I.E.L.D. had a lot of affairs, and after the matter on Loki's side was over, Maria Hill went to deal with other accumulated affairs first.
There were only Thor, Steve, Tony and Banner left, and although Hawkeye Clint Barton was out of control, he made another move as soon as he woke up, and his physical condition was not very good, and he had already gone to rest.
Also present was Diana, and Thor was curiously looking at Wonder Woman's armor. Like Loki, he could see the extraordinaryness of this set of equipment, and he even had a feeling that the strength of the woman in front of him might not be below him.
"You're not from Earthling?"
"I'm from Paradise Island and half Olympian. Diana has never been shy about who she is, but not many people really realize what it means.
However, there was a person present who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and Tony Stark specially explained Diana's identity: "Diana is the daughter of Zeus, the god king of Olympus, and she is also a god, I don't know which of the two of you is more powerful." ”
If it was Thor, he would have wanted to go head-to-head with Diana immediately when he heard this. He didn't have any malicious intentions, he just wanted to compete with the other party.
Now he would not be reckless in saying that he was alone with someone he had just met, and now there was something else that he was more concerned about: Ethan had offered to go to Asgard to talk to his father, Odin, in person.
Ethan made this request, of course, in order to get the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
