Chapter 105: The Only Solution
"You brought an alien to my mothership!?"
Coulson's eyes widened as he looked at Mywell, the blue-skinned officer of Kerry, with an expression of disbelief.
"Well, you haven't heard it all, Director Coulson." Tony spread his hands, "I'm about to tell you next, his people are coming here to find something called the 'Cosmic Rubik's Cube', and it seems likely that they will conquer the Earth by the way." ”
Coulson frowned, his gaze wandering back and forth between the men.
"Is this some kind of joke?"
"My name is Mai Weil, Commander of the Science Department of the Kerry Space Fleet. I am indeed a Kree, yes, my people are on their way to invade. But you have to trust me, I really want to help. Mywell spoke in a serious tone.
Coulson almost rolled his eyes. This passage sounds like saying that the United States is preparing to attack Iraq, but before the war has started, a certain US general sneaks up to Saddam Hussein and says that I want to defect...... If you believe it, you will have a ghost!
"It's just a mention, but it's not like I 'brought' someone to come to your mothership." Tony innocently pointed to the Black Knight on the side, "I didn't even know you guys were breaking up before today. This guy brought us here. ”
Coulson's gaze turned to the mysterious guy hiding in the black and gold armor beside him, and his attitude couldn't help but become solemn and cautious.
The Black Knight is the most dangerous person on Fury's list of high-risk Aegis characters, but this does not mean that the other party has malicious intentions. As the current S.H.I.E.L.D. chief and former senior agent, Coulson is well aware of how Aegis' evaluation mechanism works. Anyone with extremely strong personal powers, highly classified information, and no knowledge of SHIELD will be honorably placed on that high-risk list, and the person in front of him obviously meets all of the above conditions.
But at least in terms of the only dealings that Aegis had with the other party, he didn't look like an enemy.
"We're on one side, Director Coulson, like Captain Mywell over here." "As Mr. Stark said before, time is of the essence. Make a decision as soon as possible so that we can agree on a response. ”
Coulson hesitated, and he subconsciously cast his gaze at Captain America for advice. Rogers nodded and said, "I can't say categorically, but on my own behalf, I think Mywell deserves a chance." Maybe we should at least listen to what he has to say. ”
Now that the idols have spoken, Coulson naturally has no opinion. He nodded at Mywell and said, "Let's talk about the details then." Who is coming to Earth? What do they want? ”
So Maiwell recounted the deal between Thanos and Ronan the accuser, and Ronan's upcoming arrival on Earth to claim the Cosmic Cube for the interstellar conqueror.
"Cosmic Rubik's Cube." Coulson crossed his arms and frowned, "My people just discovered that there may be some aliens searching for the location of the Rubik's Cube in the universe, and the gamma signal they sent was captured by the Rubik's Cube, and the Rubik's Cube immediately activated itself, and sent a reply message in the direction of the incoming message......"
"It's Ronan, there's no going to be wrong." Maiwell said firmly.
"I'm glad you're so sure, at least we know the name of your opponent." Coulson said angrily, "It would be nice to hear that you have a plan." Any suggestions? ”
Mywell pondered for a moment.
"Perhaps......," he hesitated, "...... To be honest, I think you have the only chance...... There is only surrender. ”
"What?" Coulson's eyebrows jumped.
"Surrender." Mywell repeated, "Take the initiative to hand over the Rubik's Cube to avoid angering Ronan." Then I would go and plead with Ronan and ask him to take the Rubik's Cube and leave immediately, so that the Earth could be saved. ”
"Man, you're almost starting to suspect that you're here on purpose to trick us into trusting us and tricking us into giving up our resistance and handing over the Rubik's Cube." Tony yelled.
"I said, it's the only way." "Ronan has an invincible army, and that's not something you can resist!" I'm trying to find a way to help you survive this disaster. ”
"We'll consider your proposal, but that's the final solution." Coulson said stiffly, "But if surrender is the best thing you can bring, then you can step aside." You can go to the lower compartment and stay until we figure it out. ”
Mywell shook his head.
They simply don't understand. Ronan's strength is beyond their realization, and with the current capabilities of the human race, he simply cannot defeat Ronan's Kree fleet. This was the best solution he had come up with, and even if Aegis did accept his offer and hand over the Rubik's Cube, he wasn't sure he would be able to convince Ronan to quit.
Ronan the Accuser had never had a precedent of mercy letting go of any of the planets he was targeting, and Mywell didn't feel much hope of convincing him to make an exception for Earth.
"I'm sure you're genuinely thinking about humanity." It was Michael, his voice slightly muffled by the special treatment of the armor, but his tone was calm, "But what to do is not a choice you can make for us. You know what the consequences will be if you hand over the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and Ronan will give it to Thanos - an even worse being. Someday, this choice will bring greater calamity back to Earth...... By that time and even the entire universe. ”
At present, the foreign enemy has no time to argue over the fact that Aegis is holding the Cosmic Rubik's Cube in his hand. But if they surrender as Mywell suggests, give the Cosmic Cube to Ronan, and then fall into the hands of Thanos, it will be a huge hidden danger for the future.
Mywell didn't deny it, but said, "I know it's just a stopgap measure, but you don't have a choice. You don't know Ronan. Against Ronan's army, I don't see any hope for you. ”
"Ronan doesn't know us either." Michael said.
The Captain of Marvel was surprised to find that although the tone of the earthling's voice, who had been hiding his face under the cold armor, had maintained the calm of Gujing, it also carried a powerful persuasive power that he couldn't explain. His words so plainly and simply seemed to really give him an inexplicable confidence in the chances of human victory, and the impatience in his heart unconsciously calmed down.
But reason told him that the odds of human victory were still about equal to none.
"Listen, I don't expect you to trust me," Mywell still won't give up, "but you have to understand ......"
The second half of his sentence was drowned out by a loud bang. It was the roar of thunder and lightning from the black clouds, the pale blue dragon tumbling in the flickering clouds, the lightning spear piercing the sky, the bright light penetrating through the glass of the bridge, reflecting everyone's paleness.
Coulson was stunned: "Why don't I remember that the weather forecast says there will be a thunderstorm today?" ”
"Because not today, sir." Fitz was at the edge of the lab bench, looking nervous and short of breath, "It's all clear skies in this area, only we have a thundercloud overhead. ”
"We're in company." Michael said.
They reached the outer deck, and the wind howled and blew. Thunder and lightning shot straight out of the sky, and the high-speed blurred figure smashed into the deck of the mothership, smashing a huge web-like rift on the grounded runway.
"That's not cheap." Coulson muttered.
The tall and rugged man stood up, dressed in retro-style black armor, blonde hair, with a bright red cloak behind him, and an ancient warhammer with a mysterious aura in his hand. The gloomy and leaden sky was the curtain behind his appearance, the lightning and thunder were his background, and the aura that shook the heavens and the earth invisibly surrounded the man, and the impulse of surrender would unconsciously arise in the hearts of those approaching.
Thor, the powerful god of thunder and lightning in Norse legends.
He strode towards the crowd.
"Warriors of the Atrium, I am Thor from Asgard." He said, "I have come here for a matter of great importance that must warn you. It's about the cosmic Rubik's Cube......"
The Thunder God's footsteps stopped abruptly, and his imposing gaze locked directly on Captain Marvel's Mywell.
"Kree!"
Thor shouted, raised his eyebrows, and lifted the hammer to make a move.
Coulson lifts the forehead.
It's over, it's even more choking now.
