Chapter 172: Capture
In the end, Ding Hao did not know what agreement was reached between Tony and S.H.I.E.L.D., but soon after, a cargo ship named Churchill departed from the port in the United Kingdom, and then crossed the Atlantic to New York, USA, after which the cargo mysteriously disappeared.
And when Ding Hao received the news, it was already the third day after this incident. Although he had received the news that Tony had flown out with a lot of armor, he didn't expect Tony to go to Ulysses Crowe.
"It looks like the vibranium has fallen into Tony's hands, but even so, the promised thing still has to be done." Ding Hao received the news that Ulysses had disappeared in Colombia a few days ago, and the scene was in shambles, and the entire seaside mansion was completely in ruins, and then there was no trace of it.
With the combination of the two, of course he knew who made the move, so he went directly to the chairman of Stark Industries, our Mr. Iron Man.
"What are you doing again? Now I don't have anything to worry about here. Tony has a sense of resistance to Ding Hao looking for him, because every time Ding Hao comes to the door, nothing good happens.
"I came to you this time to find out where Ulysses Crowe is now?" Ding Hao told Tony that he wanted to find this guy and bring him to Wakanda, which was a deal with King T'Chaca. People always have to talk about a little credibility, and what Ding Hao said really never lost his words.
"You look for Ulysses, how did you find me here, listen to the name is a big man, I don't have that hobby." Tony gags and prepares to fool around, but he just made a deal with this Ulysses, and now if he wants to turn his head and tell Ding Hao the news of the other party, he can't do it.
"I won't ask for the vibranium in your hand, I just want Ulysses. This is a deal between me and the King of Wakanda, and I hope you don't make the wrong choice. Ding Hao said.
"What is the wrong choice? I don't know where Ulysses is now. Tony said.
"Really? It seems that this time the gain is not small, otherwise you would not have held on to the end like this. Is it the vibranium armor that gives you such confidence? Ding Hao looked at Tony: "But you don't have time to wear armor in front of me now!" ”
"You...... You barbarian, do you only know that you can't do it? I really don't know where Ulysses is now, because he left after closing the deal three days ago. Maybe you can ask S.H.I.E.L.D., their information network is probably more likely to lock up a person than I am. Tony said, anyway, the relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and him is not so good.
Although Tony now has the titles of S.H.I.E.L.D. technology advisor, security advisor, etc., he doesn't care about the internal affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D., and there are still some unpleasant differences between them. Because of the strong desire to control the black egg one-eyed dragon, Tony couldn't stand it a little.
Tony's personality is bohemian, he just wants to do what he loves, but S.H.I.E.L.D. has countless rules and regulations, all kinds of rules, rules all need to be followed, Tony and that organization are completely two parallel lines. Except for his father, who was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., all other entanglements were made of each other.
It's a bit too much to say that it's used, but it's an acceptable word: cooperation. With the title of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony is able to have the power to move freely in most parts of the world, and will not be recognized as a UFO by the defense systems of those countries. And he brought various benefits to S.H.I.E.L.D., such as the authorization of the energy reactor on the Helicarrier.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is actually a large group that does copycats, and they have a strong copycat ability. It is very similar to the previous news of the Great Celestial Empire, but it is stronger. They copied Stark Industries' Ark reactor and applied it to the Helicarrier, which had been prepared for the Insight program, but now had been repurposed.
And Tony didn't know that his skills had been learned by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the finished product had been made. Although she knew that there were indeed many industrial groups that could do it, but without his authorization, then these would be disgraceful, and Tony could sue them for bankruptcy at any time as long as he wanted to.
And within S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony helped them improve the structure of the internal system, firewalls, etc., in short, both sides have their own benefits.
"Did you leave three days ago? Didn't you install a positioning device on him? It's not easy to do~! Ding Hao said.
"I didn't install those things, but S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know, they have bigger ambitions." Tony said.
"It's true, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s methods are unlikeable. This time the deal S.H.I.E.L.D. also made a move? Ding Hao said that he really didn't like S.H.I.E.L.D.'s style of standing on the moral high ground, and often used the lofty reason of protecting the safety of the earth to do things that Ding Hao felt disgusted. For example, investigating other people's privacy, trespassing on people's homes, surveillance, etc.
Do you want them to worry about these things? S.H.I.E.L.D. may have good intentions, but they have to face the fact that their behavior is often annoying, and it is likely that some special people who didn't intend to do anything in the first place change their original intentions. After all, no one wants to be watched, living like a prisoner.
And often these people will clash with S.H.I.E.L.D., and then be put on the danger list by S.H.I.E.L.D. for crimes such as endangering safety, and then the relationship between them will become even more tense. As if these people were really going to do something harmful to the world, they could no longer reconcile with each other.
And after that, the two options are to enter S.H.I.E.L.D. completely, become one of them, and be bound. Either they can only fight against them, so that they have been living unstable, and even stand on opposite sides when they are completely unable to reconcile their relationship with each other.
Of course, all this is not obvious now, because there are not many superpowers on the earth, and after the appearance of superheroes in the future, S.H.I.E.L.D. will gradually exist in name only, and if there is no shockwave girl Skye in this universe, then I am afraid it will really collapse.
"yes, I worked with S.H.I.E.L.D. to get that batch of vibranium, you shouldn't be red-eyed, right? Didn't you get enough in Wakanda? I'm only less than a tenth of your large number. Tony said.
"What, you have so many?" Ding Hao didn't expect Ulysses to get so much vibranium from Wakanda, how much vibranium he believed he couldn't hide from Tony, after all, he had to use computers to monitor and work, so at this time, the amount that Tony said was not dozens of tons.
"Well, about eighty tons, enough for me to replace all my armor with this material, and I found an interesting phenomenon: this material is very suitable for nanotechnology, maybe I can make a set of nanovibranium suits." Tony showed off that although he was defensive of Ding Hao, he also liked to hit the other party.
"Nanotech give me a copy! I didn't expect there to be good stuff. Ding Hao's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he found that wearing armor with nanotechnology was a very cool effect, the image of the whole body being gradually covered, and then becoming a suit of armor, was very in line with the effect he wanted.
"You are delusional, this is a subject I am working on, and I haven't finished it yet." Tony was like an old hen guarding food, and he stretched out his hands to push Ding Hao out: "You go to the black one-eyed dragon now, let him help you find Ulysses, and I won't keep you." ”
"Remember, give me a copy after researching, I may be able to let all my armors change once, it seems that my vibranium materials may not be enough!" Ding Hao said.
"What do you say? Your thousand tons of vibranium material are not enough? How is this possible, how many warframes are you going to build? Tony asked.
"Five hundred sets, each set of armor uses a little more than a ton of vibranium materials, this thing still needs to be purified to be the best to use, and now there are too many impurities, maybe they are just the first processing, after all, after this thing is shaped, it is not good for secondary processing." Ding Hao said.
"Count you ruthless! My armor may need more materials, so it seems that I can only focus on improving a few sets. Tony thought about that too. And he still has a big household to consume, that is, Hulktop armor, which is a big guy five meters tall, and he needs too many materials.
"Okay, I'm going to S.H.I.E.L.D. now, their actions are so secretive, it seems that it's this black braised egg that makes a lot of money." Ding Hao said, and then left Tony's house and flew directly into the sky.
The place he was going to was in Washington, D.C., where the Helicarrier in the air, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s three cardinal points on this Earth, belonged to the real headquarters. The remaining Asian and European headquarters are regional headquarters within S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Director, the dragon knight is flying towards us, and is expected to arrive in three minutes." Agent Hill reports to Nick Fury.
"What is he here for? It's the first time I've come to S.H.I.E.L.D. in a long time, and this dragon knight doesn't like to deal with people like us. Nick Fury said.
"Anyway, shall we intercept him, or greet him?" Agent Hill says she needs Nick Fury to take a stand and determine S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attitude towards Dragon Knight Ding Hao.
"No, just don't intercept or greet him, just let him come over. It's business as usual. Nick Fury said. He knew that Ding Hao couldn't have any good feelings about S.H.I.E.L.D. just because he came forward to greet him once, this guy was an existence that didn't play games according to the rules.
Or he has his own rules and is not willing to follow the conventions of this world. Perhaps this is the code of conduct that only a truly strong man has, which reminds Nick Fury of Thor, the self-proclaimed Thor from Asgard who later proved that he did not lie.
The other party also ignores the rules of the earth, and is even more arrogant, he directly refers to the people on the earth as mortals, and he is a god on the high. This made Nick Fury unhappy, precisely because the other party was too indifferent to the earth, and could even say that he regarded life on the earth as ants, which stimulated Nick Fury, and he felt that the earth should not be so powerless.
So he asked people to form the Avengers, this time working with Tony, in order to equip these not so strong Avengers under his command. There aren't too many people he's recruited now, and only one Captain America can be considered a true superhero, at least to the limit of what an earthling can do. The rest, like Hawkeye, and Black Widow are a little closer.
Other than that, it seems that there are no more superpowers on Earth for the time being, maybe in the future, but not now. And his imaginary enemy, that is, the dragon knight Ding Hao who is flying now, has far more force than him, and in the hands of the opponent there are Ivan Vanke who relies on the battle armor, Bruce Banner who has transformed into the Hulk, and Betty Rose, the female Hulk.
In addition to Bruce Banner, the other two of these three have mastered the technology that can explode troops, and when the time comes, how many Iron Armor Legions and Giant Legions will be under the opponent's hands, this is unimaginable, he even feels that the other party has the power to level S.H.I.E.L.D. at any time.
This is the fundamental reason why he befriended Tony Stark, because when there is a strong enemy, it is very necessary to unite all the forces that can be united.
And Ding Hao and Tony have always been at odds with each other, although they can't be said to be enemies, but Ding Hao has hit Tony again and again, which is something that Nick Fury likes to see, so that the genuine Iron Man is pushed to his side by the other party. gave him a chance to feel like he still had a chance to burst into the game.
Nick Fury wants Tony's Iron Warframe skills and then asks S.H.I.E.L.D. to assemble an army. It wasn't that he didn't bring it up, but it was vetoed by Tony. Because such a technology is still only mastered by a small number of people, after all, it can be mass-produced, and if it falls into the hands of careerists, then the consequences are unimaginable.
Tony himself has Jarvis, which is enough to ensure that the armor information will not be leaked. And the key Ark reactor miniaturization technology, which only he and Ivan Vanke mastered, is enough.
Compared with Tony, Ivan Vanke's side is more relaxed, but with Ding Hao's suppression, there is no need for Ding Hao to take action, Dr. Banner's Hulk, Betty's She-Hulk, and Ivan's armor are enough to protect the information from leakage. And even if it is leaked, no one will dare to use it, because Ding Hao will definitely hunt down these thieves all over the world.
Nick Fury stayed on the bridge of the Helicarrier, waiting for Ding Hao's arrival, he was wearing a long black leather trench coat, and he looked indifferent.
"Altonia, go down, fan that black braised egg to the sky for me, and let him try freefall in the air!" Ding Hao instructed Altonia.
Receiving Ding Hao's command, Altonia swooped down directly from the sky, although the space helicarrier had a stealth system, but it had no effect in front of Ding Hao at all, and fell directly in front of the bridge, and then the huge dragon wings flapped, and there was a wingspan of more than twenty meters close to thirty meters The wind blew Nick Fury's windbreaker up, and then flew out like a piece of garbage.
"Who flew away?" Ding Hao asked suspiciously, he was pretending to be stupid, and let this pretending black braised egg suffer a little bit of sin.
"Director......" Agent Hill exclaimed, at this time Nick Fury had already flown out of the range of the Helicarrier, a full hundred meters, it can be seen that Altonia is definitely not just relying on the dragon wings to physically fan, and definitely secretly uses magic to apply to Nick Fury.
"Roar......" Altonia let out a strange cry as he watched Nick Fury, who had flown out of the distance, as if laughing.
"What's so funny about that? The director is about to fall to his death! Agent Hill shouted, and then he had to go and save the Black Egg Chief.
"Don't bother, Altonia pull him back!" Ding Hao said.
"Yes, my master!" Altonia replied, and a series of syllables came out of his mouth, and Nick Fury flew higher and higher in the air as if he were being pulled by an invisible rope, like flying a kite, and did not fall. And then little by little, like retracting the string of a kite.
"Ding Hao, are you trying to kill me? If that's the case, then just give me a little faster! Nick Fury came down and said to Ding Hao.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, Altonia is too naughty, he's a dragon who has just come of age, like a young man in our twenties, and he hasn't become mature and stable yet." Ding Hao said.
"This time, if there is anything, hurry up, I'm afraid that if you stay a little longer, my life will be gone." Nick Fury said that he wanted to send the plague god away.
"I'm going to find Ulysses, do you know where he is?" Ding Hao asked.
"You mean the guy who stole vibranium from Wakanda? I do know where he is, but why should I tell you? Nick Fury said.
"Because I just saved your life, okay? If that's not enough, then I can save you one more time, or so can this beautiful Hill agent. Who do you choose for me to save? Ding Hao said.
"It's better not to make jokes like this, you know, it's going to make me hard to believe you're not a threat." Nick Fury said.
"I didn't want you not to think I'm a threat, did I?" Ding Hao said.
Indeed, as Ding Hao said, since he appeared in the sight of S.H.I.E.L.D., he has been listed as a dangerous target, and he has been until now. So Ding Hao didn't care if Nick Fury felt that he was a threat, anyway, it was the same, but the level had become higher.
"You...... Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you a fake news and make you run away for nothing? Nick Fury said.
"I'm really not afraid of this, S.H.I.E.L.D. now has three helicarriers, so which one do you say is the headquarters? That's too much to tell, don't you say? Ding Hao said.
Anyway, just like this, the two of them tested each other, Ding Hao is indifferent attitude, he is not afraid of losing, because he will not lose. But Nick Fury didn't have the guts to gamble. This guy really doesn't blink an eye when he kills, he hasn't killed innocent people, and there is a small town in Brazil that he wiped off the map directly.
"Ulysses has left the United States, and now, he should be on an island in the Atlantic, an island with which he traded with us, where he is going to spend his old age in peace." Nick Fury said that it was true, that the guy found an island in the Atlantic Ocean and asked S.H.I.E.L.D. and Tony to buy it for him as a bargaining chip in the trade for vibranium.
"In other words, I have to find this island to find Ulysses, and he will really escape." Ding Hao was a little helpless, his teleportation network did not have a stronghold on the islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
"He himself knows that Wakanda has been looking for trouble for him, so he is looking for a place where there are not many people, but who can let him enjoy the rich life until he dies, and Wakanda can't reach out to him to retire." Nick Fury did not hesitate to betray Ulysses, this director of the boiled egg is indeed such a person, he will protect the earth, but a villain like Ulysses is not in the scope of protection.
"That's all?" Ding Hao asked, if there was no other news, he was leaving.
"That's all, and can you tell us about your purpose, Ulysses is part of the deal with Wakanda, right? So why do you want so much vibranium? What exactly are you going to do? Nick Fury asked.
"What am I going to do? This can tell you, I am preparing to enter the universe, there are many aliens, and there are countless sins waiting for me to judge. Ding Hao said.
"You're going to the universe? This is impossible, the earth does not have a spaceship that can go to the universe, how can you go to the universe, and you have prepared so many people, do you want to take them with you? Nick Fury said incredulously.
"You'll know when the time comes, but maybe when you know, you'll want to scold me a little. Definitely a surprise! Ding Hao said that he believed that when Dang Loki walked out of the space door of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Nick Fury would know what was going on, and then he would know what Ding Hao was thinking.
But at that time, the Cosmic Cube will fall into Loki's hands, and he can't hide the Cosmic Cube if he wants to, and after that, the New York War will begin, and then he will be completely out of control.
"Alright, I'm going to close the deal, you guys have fun with this toy! The crisis of the earth is not just what you see now, the universe is too big, and there are countless crises. You just take good care of the earth, my goal is the sea of stars! Ding Hao said that this is the direction of his future efforts, and he wants to lay a big territory in the universe.
"This guy is really a madman, his thoughts and actions are unpredictable." Nick Fury is a little worried, this guy's actions may have irreconcilable contradictions with S.H.I.E.L.D.
When Ding Hao flew for a full four hours, he found the island, and then found his target in the villa on the island, directly grabbed Ulysses, and flew towards Africa, where he was going to fulfill the terms of the deal.
And after closing the deal, he will wait for the opportunity he has been waiting for, and that day should not be far off.
