Chapter 145: Loki Invades, Recruits Troops [Foreshadowing Chapter, Optional Watching]
Somewhere in the mountains.
A car suddenly sped out of a lush rock, and then split into two, two into four, and four into eight, each of them chose a direction and ran wildly.
At the same time, the ground shook violently, and then began to collapse inward, and the dense cracks that cracked in the ground with the earthquake spread in all directions, centered on the mountainside.
Beyond the roar of the ground were two helicopter gunships rising in the sky, their blazing searchlights chasing the trailing off-road vehicles along the cracked ground.
With tongues of fire spewing from the muzzles of the helicopters' machine guns and a hail of bullets in the air, they eliminated one vehicle after another exposed to the searchlights, only to eliminate one phantom after another.
"Damn, when did you people in the atrium become so powerful? Or are you a special mutant variant with that person? ”
In the speeding off-road vehicle on the deserted road, sitting in the back seat, a man in a gorgeous costume, holding a crescent scepter in his hand, and his face hidden in the darkness, was rubbing his aching chest while complaining to the driver.
"The power of technology." John Gallott said.
The man leaned forward, revealing his face in the light of the front seat, and if Phil Coulson was there, he would probably be the first to recognize who he was.
Another prince of Asgard, Thor's younger brother, the ambitious Loki.
Loki's gloomy face was slightly mocking: "Technology? Is this a joke in your atrium? ”
"I'm serious, boss." Garlot's face did not change at all, and he didn't even flicker his eyes, and replied steadily as he drove the car.
"So, you should be a reformer? I have to say that I always thought that the atrium was a backward place, and in my mind, this is the remote countryside that no one wants to come to, but it seems that you are not without merit. Loki tucked his face back into the darkness of the back seat. He was in a bad mood right now, perhaps because of the dark journey he didn't want to remember, or because he had to come to this place that seemed backward and stupid to him for some purpose.
"Not really, boss, it's a ring! The ring gives me great strength. It's a product of Hyperion's technology, and they have a lot of good stuff. Garot raised a hand, revealing a simple ring on his finger in the light, and said seriously.
"Rings? I know. Something like some kind of magical equipment? Asgard and the other Nine Realms also have similar equipment, and the powerful ones can even be called artifacts. For example, an old man's spear, or a reckless man who will flash and thunder as soon as he appears, and carry a hammer to fight. It was an unexpected surprise, and when I became the king of this planet, I wanted to meet that Hebleen, and I thought that since he was a craftsman like the dwarves, he could at least make me a magnificent armor, right? Although I don't think his blacksmithing skills are comparable to the dwarves who make artifacts. Loki nodded slowly in the darkness, his own understanding.
"You'll get what you want, and Dr. Eric Shaveig and I will help you." Garot glanced sideways at Dr. Shavig, who was smiling in the passenger seat.
"Yes, yes, I can't help with the fighting, but I can contribute all my knowledge. You have opened my eyes to a new world, it is so magnificent, so beautiful, it is shocking. I'll be happy to help you achieve your goals. Dr. Shaveig said with a smile on his face.
"That's good, but now I want to ask, where are we going?" Loki asked, glancing at the dark patch outside the window.
"A secret base. Look at the direction of the wind first, and then make an execution plan according to the goal. Maybe some people have to be recruited as well. You may need to boss your scepter at that time. Garot replied calmly.
"Okay, please use it as you like." Loki replied flirtatiously.
……
"What happened?"
Above the ruins, Nick Fury, dressed in a black trench coat, jumped down from the helicopter with his hands and asked Hawkeyed Clint, who was sitting on the edge of the ruins, dressed in embarrassment.
"The Rubik's Cube is out of control." Clint stood up and looked at his own officer.
"Tell me more." Nick looked at the underground base that had completely collapsed and had been scrapped and destroyed, and forcibly held back the anxiety in his heart, and said, "What you said on the phone is unknown, it was the intruder who snatched the Rubik's Cube and kidnapped Dr. Shavig?" How did the invaders come about? ”
"Cosmic Rubik's Cube." Clint repeated, "The power of the Rubik's Cube suddenly spiraled out of control, and then a portal was opened, teleporting a man in fancy dress with a crescent-shaped scepter. He is adept at using a deceptive spell that can disrupt people's sight and senses. Both Agent Galliot and Dr. Shawig were controlled by the scepter. All other researchers and agents present were killed. ”
"Agent Gallo, also controlled?" Nick's face was unusually serious, this is a senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, no one knows how many connections and energy a person who joined S.H.I.E.L.D. at about the same time as him secretly has a lot of connections, even Nick, who is the director, is not clear.
"Agent Galiot attacked me." Clint looked embarrassed, "I didn't hit him." ”
"Are you sure the Rubik's Cube was taken away by them?"
"Pretty sure."
"Do you remember the intruder's face?"
"Deeply memorable."
"Sketch it out. In any case, the Cosmic Cube will be recovered. Nick said in a grim tone. He didn't know if the former Kree had returned, but he knew that the Cosmic Cube must not be mastered and used by intruders. Rather than fall into the hands of someone else, he would rather sell to Luke's black merchant.
"Yes, sir!" Clint heads up.
"Now that Galiott and Dr. Shavig are also in custody, notify Agent Hill and the world will track them down." Nick instructed Agent Phil behind him.
Phil took his phone and dialed Agent Hill at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
"Agent Gallot is familiar with S.H.I.E.L.D., and he's a very experienced hunter in counter-recourse. To be honest, many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have all their skills trained by him. Ordinary recourse may not be of any use to him. Clint raised his concerns.
"Of course I know, but even if I know it's not useful, I can't help it. They can't keep it hidden. Nick's face was cold, he believed that it was a matter of time before he could find the traces of the other party, and before finding the other party, he would first gather the combat power that his side could gather.
The invasion of the Dimensional Demon God is the responsibility of the mages, I don't know if this kind of invasion may come from outside the earth, are the mages willing to help? If there is a mage's help, it will be a great help for their mobility. Even if the other party can't help in the battle, as long as he can open a portal to this side when he finds the other party, and teleport the people he has gathered over, it will already be a great help.
……
Inside the dilapidated house, a dim light dispelled some of the darkness in the house. Bruce Banner looked at the little girl who fled quickly and ran into the darkness, and then looked at the female agent Natasha Romanoff who appeared in the house and had a relationship, and his mood was a little complicated for a while.
"The child is so young, do you have to be trained by you to deceive people?" Dr. Banner asked, standing still, looking back at the little girl who had led the way after tricking him into coming and then disappearing.
"It's a way for them to survive." Natasha walked over to the table and invited, "Would you like to sit down and talk?" ”
"I don't think we have anything to talk about." Despite that, Banner walked over and sat down across from Natasha.
"We're here for your help." Natasha's beautiful face was full of sincerity.
"Help? I thought you were going to lock me up. How many soldiers were in ambush outside. Banner smiled and asked a sharp question from Natasha on the other side.
"I'm willing to be honest, so I can answer your questions. But they are only used to control the worst-case scenario. I hope you understand. Natasha said softly.
"It's honest, so what do you need me to help with?" Dr. Banner said with his hands on the table, with some interest.
"Doctor, you need to use your expertise and knowledge to help find something."
"What will happen to me afterwards?"
"You can come and go as you like afterwards."
"Won't imprison me?"
"Of course."
"Can you call the shots?"
"That's what the sir, he's got all your troubles out of it. At least while you're helping S.H.I.E.L.D., a general who shows signs of recovery won't be in the mood for the time being, and won't come to you for trouble. You can think of it as a deal. ”
Between the two questions and answers, Dr. Banner asked the last and most crucial question.
"It seems that you are indeed very powerful and powerful. So, I have one last question, aren't you afraid of me? There's a monster inside me that can get out of control at any moment. If you are in the same space as me, you will not be able to guarantee your life. ”
"This is indeed a threat, and if we don't care, I'm afraid it's an insincere deception. But Dr. Banner, we may have a way to keep you relatively calm and live like a normal person. Natasha said softly.
"Don't try to fool me!" Dr. Banner suddenly stood up excitedly, shouting loudly.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the window. Natasha was startled by the sudden outburst of the doctor, and leaned back in the chair behind her, but the next moment, she made eye contact with his still calm eyes, ignoring Dr. Banner's leaning face, and pressed the earbud communicator sideways to give the people outside a normal order.
"You know, Doctor, we're not going to be this kind of poke and piercing. No one can be sure of what will happen in the future, and what I can guarantee is that every conversation I have with you at this moment is true and free from false deception. We know you've been looking for ways to restore your peace or be able to live like a normal person, and we have a solution. At least so far, probably the most effective approach. ”
After asking the people outside to back off, Natasha looked up and said to the doctor.
"How do you prove it?" Banner forcibly pressed down on his inner emotions, and little by little he regained his composure with the skills he had honed to control his emotions, he slowly sat down and asked rhetorically.
Natasha pulled a palm-sized jewelry box out of her pocket, placed it on the table, and cautiously pushed it towards Dr. Banner across from her.
"What is this?" Banner asked cautiously as he looked at Natasha as he reached out and took the box that the other party had pushed over.
"Good thing to calm you down." Natasha said. "Turn it on."
Dr. Banner opened the box, and saw that it was an ordinary ring box, and a ring with a sapphire the size of a soybean caught his eye.
"A ring?" Banner was stunned.
"Take it with you." Natasha motioned for Banner to take out the ring and bring it to her finger.
Banner took out the ring suspiciously, and at the moment of contact with the ring, he did feel a different kind of tranquility, as if all the thoughts in his mind had been cleared, and he didn't have to control his emotions that might get out of control at any time, because now his whole person was filled with a long-lost calm and relaxation.
Looking at Dr. Banner who couldn't wait to bring the ring to his finger, Natasha breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is this?" Dr. Banner caressed his body lovingly, and said happily. Although he didn't know if the ring was as magical as Natasha said, it did calm him down.
"The latest technological product of Hebelun. It's rare, it's expensive, and even S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have a lot of it. Natasha explains, "It's not a gemstone, it's a crystalline body of purified energy. It is consumed. This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reward for your help. ”
"Heblelen? I should probably meet the inventor of this technology. Or would he be willing to give me a job? Dr. Banner blinked, he knew that he should be happy at the moment when he heard this information, and his mood swings might be great, but he was still calm under the influence of the ring.
"Can we go right away, then? There's a hurry. Natasha stood up.
"Yes, I'll just clean it up." Banner also stood up.
……
"What? Have you seen my brother? Where is he? On the bustling street, where the neon lights flashed and there was still a constant flow of people even late at night, Thor, dressed like a passer-by on the street and holding a mobile phone in his hand, was ecstatic yelling at Phil on the other side of the phone.
“……”
"Can't tell me on the phone? Then give me an address, and I'll take a taxi to find you. Thor said hurriedly.
……
"It seems that the prince has adapted well. He would have picked up his hammer and flown over a long time ago. Do you want to send someone to pick him up? He couldn't get to us in a taxi. ”
On the Helicarrier that S.H.I.E.L.D. had just completed testing, Nick looked at Phil, who hung up the phone, and said softly. Hearing this, Phil looked embarrassed.
"Sir, that's what he flew with a hammer." Phil corrected quietly.
Soon, a message was sent to Nick by the people below.
"Sir, there's an unknown flying object coming towards us at supersonic speed, and it's about to collide with us in about three minutes, do you want to stop it?"
Nick and Phil looked at each other.
