Triple Wing Building.

Nick Fury's office.

Nick stood expressionlessly in front of him, and in front of him were the five council members in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as some military elites.

"You can't hand over the Cosmic Cube and Loki." Congressman Rockwell said angrily: "For this egregious invasion, I think the Asgardians need to give us an explanation and compensation!" ”

"Mr. Councilor, the warriors from Asgard are guests at S.H.I.E.L.D., do you want to talk to them about reparations in detail?" Nick glanced up at Councillor Rockwell and spoke.

"What do you mean? Shouldn't Aegis, your responsible Aegis, talk about this kind of thing? Isn't that what S.H.I.E.L.D. and you are responsible for? We've been invaded, we've almost wiped out the top brass, and now the whole country is in chaos......" Congressman Rockwell looked at Nick menacingly.

"With all due respect, Mr. Senator, Asgard is not the mastermind of this invasion, but they are on our side in this invasion. Asgard's first heir, Prince Thor Odinson, played a major role in the invasion and protection. It will be difficult for you to get Asgard to give an explanation or compensation. Nick shook his head.

"But the main culprit, Loki, is their second prince!" Rockwell roared.

"In Thor's words, Loki was adopted, and he wasn't an Asgardian in terms of race. If you want to find Loki's elders to take charge, you should go to the king of Jotunheim, one of the Nine Realms. Nick intimately corrected.

"Then find the guy from Jotunheim." Rockwell is going mad.

"That's great, they're probably happy to come and beat us up and bring some of our produce back with them." Nick told a sneer joke that wasn't funny at all in plain sight.

"What's the use of asking for a peace with S.H.I.E.L.D.? What is the use of the astronomical amount of money we allocate to you every year? You are grossly derelict in your duties, Nick Fury! If you can't, we'll replace it with a more ambitious S.H.I.E.L.D. head. Rockwell grimaced Nick, who had rebelled against him today, with a cold face.

"Do you mean to bring another hardliner to war with Asgard? Fighting a war race that was famous in the universe for at least 10,000 years? Do you know the strength of the other party? Do you know how strong the opposing army's is? That's a race that claims to be gods! The point is that they are not our enemies, and are even willing to establish some trade relations with us, and honorable Congressman Rockwell, do you plan to turn your guns on an alien civilization that is at peace with us and extremely powerful? Nick asked rhetorically.

"Sounds like you know Asgard well, did that all that Prince Thor tell you? How can you be sure that he is not cheating on you? A general asked, preemptively ahead of Congressman Rockwell.

"I have my access to information, and how to verify it. My opinion is that we should not have any conflict with Asgard right now, and that the Asgardians are not to blame for all this. Even if we start a tough war, let's not talk about the difference in strength between us. Can we find Asgard? Will the range of our weapons reach Asgard? Can our soldiers and weapons of war attack the enemy's homeland?

We can't! But the other party can! The other side has a rainbow bridge that can teleport soldiers and any weapon to most of the universe, and even any corner of the Nine Realms, once the war starts, they only need to open the rainbow bridge, and our command level has nowhere to escape. Nick spread his hands: "So I advise the councillors to stay calm." ”

"You need to disclose more information to us." The general who spoke out.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military are two departments that do not communicate with each other, and you have no right to ask S.H.I.E.L.D. to disclose some confidential information to you." Nick vetoed the general's request.

"What about the Cosmic Rubik's Cube? It belongs to us. "The general is obviously interested in the cosmic cube that can open the wormhole.

"Attention, General. Strictly speaking, the Cosmic Cube is the treasure of King Odin of Asgard, and the God King Odin is its master. It's just that for some reason the Rubik's Cube fell to Earth and then to us. Nick said. Of course, he was not willing to give up the Rubik's Cube, but after learning from Thor that the Rubik's Cube was a tricky big trouble, as well as the information about the Rubik's Cube and the attribution information, he could of course have to make the choice to give up.

"But it's in our hands." The general noted.

"Yes, you can go and say that to the Asgardians. As a reminder, the Rubik's Cube is a big problem, and this invasion lies in the fact that there is a powerful force in the universe searching for its whereabouts. If it's still in our hands, then the next time we're going to face a stronger invader. Nick replied.

"Maybe I should call you the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Asgard?" Congressman Rockwell sneered at Nick with a cold face.

Nick was silent.

"There is no need to doubt Director Fury's position and camp, he is credible. As he said, it wasn't an Asgardian invasion, that Loki, he was at the behest of some powerful person in the universe. When he returned to Asgard, he also faced a long prison sentence. As for the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, since we can't protect it, let's return it to the original owner. I'm interested in Asgard's willingness to trade with us? A member of S.H.I.E.L.D. changed the subject, and this remark lifted the faces of the members except Rockwell.

"Yes, we had a consultation before that. But there has been no progress until recently. Nick breathed a sigh of relief. If this big cake is smashed, everything should be calmed down.

In fact, Nick knew very well that there could be no outcome at all in today's meeting, and the minds of the parliamentarians and the councilors, the military and the parliamentarians, and the thoughts of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the other two parties were not the same. With the current level of chaos at the top, they are all busy fighting for power and profit, competing for those vacant positions. Nick doesn't want to be involved with those guys, but he needs to avoid someone who targets Asgard for the sake of heat and slogan.

He knows the power of Asgard better than everyone here, although this planet also has a Guardian Supreme Mage, but it is obvious that the other party has a deeper friendship with Odin than himself, and with the other party's unwillingness to manage mundane affairs, even if he really goes to war with Asgard, it is difficult for the other party to say whether he will help.

What's more, he and S.H.I.E.L.D. easily set up a three-way relationship for the official, and invested a lot of mental and material resources in the early stage, so much so that he didn't even see any money back. Even if you want to show your claws with Asgard, you must first arm yourself and become stronger.

……

"This is something that Odin gave you." In the Supreme Mage's dwelling in the blizzard, the portal dissipated in the air, and the Ancient One, returning from Asgard, tossed a thick and quaint book to Luke Dao while observing the cosmic cube handed to her by Luke.

"What is this?" A pair of mechanical arms emerged from the air, firmly grasping the books that the Ancient One had thrown over.

"With the knowledge and technology of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Odin has invested heavily this time. Guess what's in it? Gu Yi delicately analyzed the cosmic cube little by little with energy, and replied without raising his head.

"Isn't it possible that there is still the technology to make the Rainbow Bridge?" Luke chuckled lightly, and then saw the strange smile on the face of the ancient one when he raised his head.

"So generous?" Luke was really surprised this time. Although he may not be able to make his own rainbow bridge if he has obtained the knowledge of space and dimension of the Rubik's Cube, there is still a big difference between making it himself and taking it out early from the other party.

As a product of Asgard's iconic technology, the Rainbow Bridge is almost famous in the Nine Realms! With the Rainbow Bridge, Asgard and Odin can fight whoever they want, whenever they want, and even when necessary, the Rainbow Bridge can also change from teleportation to an ultra-long-range strike weapon by increasing the output energy. Its technology is no less important in Asgard than nuclear technology is to humanity today.

"That's an old fox." The Ancient One was surprised by Odin's willingness to come up with the Rainbow Bridge's technology, but he was not surprised. "It's a relationship with you."

As for whether Luke will threaten Asgard after he gets the technology? Since the prophecy tells that the destruction of Asgard is inevitable and that the arrival of Ragnarok is inevitable, what else does Odin have to care about? But if his heir has a rival, he doesn't have to give them foreign aid or find a collaborator.

"Asgardian writing?" A mechanical bookshelf put the books on the shelf, and two mechanical hands flexibly opened the thick and simple book cover in place of Luke, looking at the words on it, Luke sighed softly, it was nothing, it was nothing more than learning one more language.

"You can find Wang, he's a good teacher." The Ancient One pointed out a candidate to Luke.

Luke nodded. For the mage king who has the title of [tutor], Luke still recognizes it very much. After all, whether it was the other party and Mordo in cultivating Stephen's magic foundation, or the introduction of new energy to other mages and mage apprentices, or other advanced knowledge, he was quite credible and reliable.

"It's very strange, I never thought that the combination of the emotional energy you created and the energy of the Rubik's Cube would cause it to give birth to consciousness. It seems that our understanding and excavation of emotional energy is still too shallow. This is good. Gu Yi withdrew the energy he used to detect and analyze the Rubik's Cube, and his tone was a little surprised, but also a little happy.

The surprise lies in the change in the Rubik's Cube. Joy lies in the potential of emotional energy.

"That is, I don't have auditory hallucinations?" Luke was a little speechless.

"Yes, because you have invoked a lot of emotional energy to fuse with the energy of the Rubik's Cube, in which your consciousness occupies the absolute dominance, it is obvious that the new consciousness of the Rubik's Cube regards you as a father. And that's exactly what happened. From the point of view of the birth relationship, it is indeed born because of you. "The ancient one affirmed.

"Okay, okay, so what am I going to do? I mean, well, what to do with this? Luke suddenly noticed that his mouth could become clumsy at some point.

"Are you going to erase her?" Gu Yi asked.

"Of course not, she was born because of me, and I don't have to do such a thing." Luke took the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and quickly received some kind of reassuring emotional message from it.

"Then let her appear in this world as you want. If you can't wait for her transformation, you can also use magic to create a magical body for her, or you can use your mechanical skills to create a mechanical body for her, and of course, biological gene modulation technology. The Ancient One said, opening the portal for Luke.

……

Buildings are crumbling and cities are in ruins.

The flames were burning, and there were dazzling and blazing fires everywhere.

The corpse of the Zetari warrior fell to the ground, and turquoise blood spread and infected the ground.

This is a ruined ruin after the war.

If viewed from an extraterrestrial starry sky, the raging fires seem to burn some areas red. It's like an ugly red spot. The home planet is burning.

Countless mechanical aircraft sprayed a cold white mist, curbing the out-of-control fires and cooling the burning cities and planets. King Zitari and the others stepped on the cracked ground that still had the heat remaining, and their eyes showed a fierce color.

"Letari!"

Letari's name, gritted from the corners of the other's shriveled and terrifying lips, the resentment in his heart had reached its peak at this moment. No one has ever been so hated by him,

"Anger doesn't solve anything."

A gentle voice rang out from behind the Other. The other turned around and saw an elegant, slender figure like an ancient nobleman, slowly descending from the sky. At his feet, it was as if an invisible force was holding him up.

"General Ebony Throat." Seeing the visitor, the other lowered his head slightly to show respect.

"The host needs to know more detailed information." The language of the ebony throat has a strange power, soothing the anger and heartache in the hearts of others, and at the same time easily causing others to have a strong desire to talk when they hear his words.

"At my master's orders, I ordered Lika and Letari to bring a Zetari mothership army to help the exile of Asgard, the exiled prince Loki, to claim ownership of a planet. According to the deal, after the conquest of that planet, he will become the king of that planet, and we will get the cosmic cube that he offered.

The invasion went well, but an unknown accident occurred along the way. A part of the Zeta Swiss soldiers broke free from the control of the hive consciousness, and they were liberated, perhaps even distorted. They turned their guns on their fellow clansmen, leading to the defeat of the invasion!

Leka sent a signal for help, but by the time we arrived, they were no longer where they were, but on their home planet. The other answered Ebony Throat's question.

"It seems that only by finding that Letari will we know what is going on on C-53." Ebony Throat's eyes narrowed slightly. He was also interested in what his master was suddenly very concerned about.
