Chapter 430: Who's to Take the Blame
"It's my judgment on the spot." The Heavenly Sword Mothership, Wanda stood at the conference table and said, "At that time, the situation was urgent, and anyone who touched those Heavenly Hammers could be manipulated. If someone in the Avengers is controlled, things may spiral out of control. So I think we should step in at that time. ”
In the battle that just ended, Skysword's paranormal team appeared in front of the Avengers - and the new Aegis - for the first time. Although they are temporarily on the same side in the battle against the Great Snake, it is because they are facing a common crisis on Earth. Now that the crisis is over, it will be difficult for them to talk about each other in the future.
The Avengers are fine, but Aegis will never allow a behemoth that transcends national boundaries and is countless times more powerful than them to inhabit this world. If nothing else, let's just say that the existence of this superpowered squad of Heavenly Sword itself violates the "Superhero Registration Act" that is about to be officially introduced. At that point, Tony Stark, as Chief of S.H.I.E.L.D., will have to be on the front line of their pursuit. In a worse direction, the Avengers might join the ranks.
Wanda decides to give up the advantage of the team hiding in the shadows, because she feels that the situation needs it according to her own judgment. In fact, if she hadn't intervened in the battle in time, they would have had to face the Hulk who had picked up the hammer - the danger of that situation was self-evident. In addition, without their help, the follow-up battle with the Heavenly Hammer Venerable would be a hundred times more difficult, and there was even a high probability that there would even be casualties.
But now that the primary crisis of the Great Snake has been settled, they have to turn their attention back to the current problem.
"It was my decision. Any consequences caused should be borne by me. Wanda said.
Pyro hurriedly said, "No! I'm her brother, and I didn't stand up against her decision when she made it, and I should be responsible. ”
Everyone saw that it was time to divide the pot after this posture? Wanda and Pietro happened to be sandwiched between Gwen's seat, and she looked left and right, thinking that I can't be left behind! So he also stood up: "I...... I feel like it's my responsibility. ”
There was silence for two or three seconds. Everyone glanced at her, said nothing, and then looked away tacitly.
Adults are splitting the pot! What are you kidding all about?
Gwen blushed with anger. Why do you look down on a five-year-old? Everyone can take the blame, why can't I carry it?
Jessica raised her hand here: "It's noisy, we all have problems." The team's behavior is not the decision of any one person, the fight we went to fight together, and no one forced us. That's a choice for all of us. If there are any consequences, they should be borne by all of us. ”
Jessica has really changed a lot since joining the group. At first, she didn't see herself as part of the group, but gradually she began to identify with the team and her teammates, and went from being a lone wolf to really becoming a part of the team.
Venom licked his tongue and said, "The Gunpowder Girl is becoming more and more humane." ”
Jessica glared at him coldly and said, "I suddenly changed my mind. I think it's all this black and disgusting thing, it's this stinky mud that sways all of us, and it deserves full responsibility. ”
Venom Fried Hair: "What? Want to fight again, stupid woman? ”
Jessica sneered: "Speaking of which, which fool stupidly raised his hammer and defected to the enemy's side before?" Speaking of which, what should I do if I mutiny and attack my teammates? Should we at least be burned at the stake? ”
Venom was so angry that he screamed and jumped up to make a move. Wanda frowned: "Okay, let's joke again, be quiet now." ”
Venom is immediately honest, like a Shiba Inu who has been scolded by his owner. He obediently sat back in his seat, but finally glared at Jessica viciously, probably with a look like "see you in the woods after school". Jessica continued with a sneer.
"There's no point in continuing to fight like this," Wanda said, "and it's up to the boss to decide what to do." ”
So everyone fell silent and focused their eyes on Michael at the end of the table.
Michael, who had not spoken, raised his head and glanced at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Wanda.
"You're right." He said lightly, "In that situation, compared to the secrecy of the existence of the Heavenly Sword, stopping the Great Snake and the Heavenly Hammer Venerable and controlling the scope of the disaster are the higher priority options. As I said, when I'm not around, you can act as an agent to command all the systems of the Heavenly Sword and have the authority to make decisions. Because I trust your judgment, and you have lived up to me. That's why I want to say, there's no good point in it. ”
Everyone showed a relieved expression, and Wanda looked relieved, and her face was a lot lighter.
Michael rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Why does everyone have a tacit acquiescence in their hearts that he will definitely give punishment? Is he such an unkind guy in everyone's hearts? No one thought that he might be guilty of the past?
"But the team has been exposed to Aegis." Wanda said, "And now Stark should know who I am, maybe they'll be able to ...... soon."
"They can't find yours." Michael said calmly, "Now that the world's surveillance system is under the control of Tianjian, the identity information of several of you has long been blocked. Any identification software that scans for several of you from the surveillance system will encounter identification difficulties and automatically ignore your identity. In addition, the identities you use on weekdays are also fake identities carefully packaged by Heavenly Sword, and there is no possibility of being seen through in any detail. So unless one of you bumps into Tony Stark face-to-face, Aegis trying to find you is looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
"Oh." Wanda nodded.
It turned out that the boss had already calculated that there might be such a time, so it didn't seem like a serious matter.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to report, let's stop here for today."
Michael adjourned the meeting, and his entire image vanished from his chair. Holographic projection, he himself did not personally participate in this meeting, but only appeared in the form of projection.
The boss left, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Daisy grinned and said, "I knew it was going to be like this." You think, how can the boss be ruthless enough to punish Wanda, after all, our Wanda is so cute......"
Wanda's face was slightly red: "What are you talking nonsense again?" ”
Daisy wanted to play tricks again, but she never expected that the blue light flashed on the place where Michael had just disappeared, and his holographic projection returned.
"There's something I need to add." His face was expressionless, and his eyes glanced at Daisy, intentionally or not. Daisy suddenly felt a chill down her spine, her hairs stood on end, and somehow she had an extremely ominous premonition.
"The first hammer that Cynthia Schmidt took was originally excavated by Red Skull, the leader of Hydra, during World War II. But no one could lift it at the time, so he sealed the hammer and built a fortress in the uninhabited land of Antarctica to seal the secret. It was there that Cynthia found the first Celestial Hammer and followed its guidance to lift the serpent's seal. So just in case, I need someone to go to the fort in Antarctica and make sure there's nothing else left there. ”
He paused, his gaze straight to Daisy.
At that moment, Daisy's sense of foreboding climbed to the top.
"Daisy, you go."
