S.H.I.E.L.D.

New three-curved wing building.

Nick still haunts Luke's words in Asgard. What is a dark-skinned elf? Can't you be an elf with dark skin? Thinking about scolding and scolding, Nick is still very interested in the fact that arcane energy can change life forms.

In particular, the energies of that other universe, it seems, that each of them can transform life into the life form that best suits their minds.

"Knock knock!"

A few muffled knocks interrupted Nick's thoughts, and he looked at his office door, then felt that something was wrong, and turned his head in surprise to look at the glass behind his desk.

After a dimmed period of adjustment, the glass showed the view of the outside. Two steel suits, clearly in the style of the Mark suit, were hanging in the air just like that. One of them was knocking on the window.

Then Nick's eyes widened as the two steel suits deftly removed his glass, revealing a glass door. The wind whistled in the air along the removed glass window, and along with the wind came two Mark suits.

For a moment, the two people who came in and Nick, who was watching them in dismay, met the eyes at the desk.

"I said I'd go through the main entrance." A voice rang out from one of the steel suits.

"Don't panic, we're visiting." The visor was lifted and turned into a black suit, and Tony Stark, who was found by the owner, did not show any embarrassment, and looked at Nick very calmly.

Nick withdrew his hand to press the alarm, and let S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence disarm the alarm that had just been sounded, and he looked at Stark angrily: "Can't you just go through the front door?" ”

"It's a bit of a waste of our time. Actually, I'd love to use the magic device to open the door and come in, but you have good protection here, and you didn't give me permission to intervene. Stark didn't care, and the other Mark suit and as if dissolved, quickly faded, revealing Dr. Bruce Banner's honest and friendly face.

"We'll put the window glass on you before we go, I promise!" Dr. Banner raised his hand when he saw Nick's turned gaze.

"It's not a matter of whether you have glass or not. Forget it, let's talk about your intentions, shall we? What is it that brings the two of you together? Is there anything you can't communicate with? Nick wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back tiredly, he didn't plan to argue with Stark's poisonous tongue. The two of them are short on time, so is he Nick having a lot of time?

"I read the engineering order, and the Stark Group is in charge of the Mars transformation. to act as a buffer point in the future. Stark walked over to his desk and made a head.

"What's the problem? I remember that the retrofit technology and the project process have already been sent to you. Nick thought for a moment and nodded. Stark is in charge of transforming the Martian environment in the early stage to make it so that it can survive as soon as possible.

"Do you know what kind of technology Luke came up with?" Stark stared at Nick.

"I'm only responsible for assigning projects and supporting technologies. You know, I've long since given up trying to understand Hyperion's technology. Nick spread his hands helplessly, "However, what I do know is that the source of this technology is also from another world. In his words, it's simple, hassle-free, and safe. What's wrong, is there something wrong with the technology? ”

"The technology is fine, the problem is the thing he gave us. That's a life! During this time, Dr. Banner and I had to go to the data dimension to find information and supplement a lot of knowledge in order to understand that thing. Stark's tone was a little agitated.

"Life? I know that. This is an alien species known as the Thorn Beast, which is a plant-based life. Represents the native force of nature on a planet. According to the information provided by Heblen, it is responsible for transforming the planet in the other world to make the planet's environment livable.

Of course, it is extremely powerful in environmental modification, but in turn this power is a great problem for flesh and blood life. They are extremely hostile to flesh lifeforms, and will compete with them for territory and survival.

Heblelen's opinion is that it should be modified in a targeted way, or rather, to create some kind of inhibitor. Someone in Heblelen's lab has already taken on the task. But in the same way, this project was packaged and distributed as part of a larger project.

After weighing it up, I thought that the only one who could compete with Hyperion was Stark, which you mastered, so I assigned it to you. Is there a problem? Nick retrieved the information he wanted to read, and after a few glances, he asked Stark and Dr. Banner out loud.

"No problem? I don't want to discuss the technical issues with you, because you don't understand at all. So I just said yes. I need more material. The kind of material called the Thorn Beast. Stark said his request crisply.

"Assign on demand, Stark. The allocated resources have been carefully planned and studied by the Hyperion Technical Management Committee. You know, without this step, the giants don't know what it means to be enough. Nick heard this and vetoed Stark's request. He often sees similar situations and already has a set of processes of his own.

After all, he trusts Heblelen's analysis and statistics more than those giants.

"Don't compare me and Banner to those guys. We can do this as quickly as possible, but only if you have to provide more material. Or tell me, how do you get the plant life of this thorn? I know the process and I can pay for it. Stark also has a wealth of experience in dealing with Nick's veto, and his sentence "I pay for it" is enough to make Nick change his mind.

Isn't it just a bit of an intermediary fee?

Although the flesh hurts, Stark can accept it. What he pursues is to spend money when it should be spent, and it is useless to save it. The other Dr. Banner is like an ascetic, a little real money can satisfy his desire to live, and he is also pursuing more knowledge.

"I can help you ask. But don't expect too much. Nick thought for a moment and nodded. Looking at the two of them who had got their purpose and were about to leave immediately, Nick asked, "How many thorn beasts do you need?" What is it used for? Don't tell me it's for experiments. The ones that Heblem has been assigned along with the project are enough for you to complete the corresponding initial experiments. ”

"Life Armor, Director Fury. Don't take the technical issue seriously, just tell the people at Hyperion that I'm here to upgrade my armor and make technical changes to it. If you don't come, then Banner and I will have to block Luke next time. Stark wrapped himself in his black Mark suit again, and after finishing in front of Nick, his visor dropped, and then walked to the window where the wind swept in, and jumped in front of Nick.

"Well, do I still have to help with the glass?" Dr. Banner's suit was up to his neck, and he looked at the glass window in his hand with some embarrassment, and then at Nick. He didn't think about paying the bill, but when he saw Stark leave without looking back, he was like an arrow.

"Let's go." Nick waved his hand tiredly, watching as Dr. Banner followed Stark in an arc in mid-air and quickly disappeared.

The wind in the sky was still desperately surging towards the house, and the fierce wind blew Nick's trench coat like a flag, flying up and down, and hunting.

However, the next moment, the alarm that Nick suppressed finally sounded.

"Spacetime Authority 03 has been attacked by an unknown attack."

The information transmitted by the intelligent system makes Nick in the wind even more messy. His exposed one-eyed was stunned, more shocked than he had seen Stark unload the glass of his office in front of him.

The Temporal Authority, an agency under the Energy Bank, quickly evolved into a violent organization similar to the army after Hela's accession. The Authority, which has a lot of support from all sides, has a lot of talent inside. Its importance is increasing day by day, and in terms of the status and function of other universes, S.H.I.E.L.D. can hardly match it.

As an organization managed by Loki, Nick knew all too much power it wielded. And the other party is hidden in time, and ordinary people can't even find it, let alone invade.

Instead of gloating, Nick began to think about a possible intruder.

Is it the remnant of the original owner of the Time Authority?

Although a large number of Kang's allomorphs died, there were always a few mutated fish that slipped through the net, and they were more powerful and cunning than the other Kangs. It's hard to say that the other party can't solve the soul troubles. In Luke's words, if you are lucky enough, before the soul poison spreads and covers, there is a way to disconnect yourself from other Kang souls, and you can also get away with it without dying on the spot. In the future, as long as you are careful and disappear, and hide long enough not to appear, there is a high probability that you will still survive.

Is it the revenge of those survivors Kang?

But what's the use? The Time Authority has already been transformed. The management of time was forcibly seized and fell into the hands of the director of the time management bureau. Those Kangs want to make a comeback, and the probability of success is infinitely close to none.

"Mr. Norman Osborne sent a request to call."

A transparent box suddenly appeared in front of Nick's eyes, and a familiar figure on it was requesting a newsletter.

"Fury, tell me, where is the Time Authority?"

After connecting, before Nick could speak, Norman Osborne's angry voice was delivered.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the angry Osborne, Nick's brows furrowed. He was helpless against Stark and Dr. Banner because these two people were really smart, and as technical advisors to S.H.I.E.L.D., they could solve quite a lot of technical problems for S.H.I.E.L.D. and provide various technical upgrades.

You can't buy everything from Heblelen, right?

Hebelun's technology is really good, and the technology is really beyond a certain specification. But they're expensive! Nick, who was heavily in debt, had to live an early life on a budget. And Stark and Dr. Banner, although the two skills are not finished and Luke's skills are good, but as a replacement, there is no problem. It is also one of the few technical groups in S.H.I.E.L.D. that can compete with Hyperion Labs for certain technologies.

But Norman Osborne?

Well, I can't say that he is not important, but it is clear that he is not as important as Stark, irreplaceable. So seeing Osborne coming to the door angrily, Nick, as Party A, of course would not be polite. He's still angry.

Seeing that Nick also had a black face, Osborne was silent for a moment, his face was still ugly, but his tone softened: "Harry is missing. ”

"Harry?" Nick was stunned again, he didn't think of the name for a while.

"Harry Osborne. My baby! He's missing! Although Norman Osborne has some hatred for his son, he has no shortage of attention and attention. Now that his heir has suddenly disappeared, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, you can imagine how angry Osborne is.

"As I recall, he was sent to serve in the Time Authority." Nick thought back for a moment and searched through his memory for a piece of information.

When the Time Authority was first re-established, it attracted many residents of this universe to join. As the heir to Osborne Industries, Harry Osborne was one of those who went to apply.

Or a candidate recommended by S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is very common. The giants all want their heirs to be able to serve in the Energy Bank, but the threshold for joining the Energy Bank is too high. But fortunately, there is a circuitous way to turn around.

That is to join Hyperion, S.H.I.E.L.D., or the Time Authority.

Hebelen doesn't have to think about it. It now only recruits researchers, and it is still a well-known researcher in a certain field.

S.H.I.E.L.D., as a word of Nick Fury, Osborne and others arranged for their children to enter, if there is a place to join the energy bank, Fury, the old fox, will most likely choose his own people to enter, rather than the heir of the giant who is destined to not have the same heart as him.

As a nascent time management bureau, it has high importance, lacks trustworthy manpower, and has many opportunities, and it is also a subordinate institution of the energy bank. Including Osborne and others, they have arranged for their heirs to be gilded, and they may be able to access a lot of secret intelligence and information.

For example, Osborne received information from his children for all kinds of equipment orders sent by the Time Management Bureau, and they made full preparations.

Normally, the heirs of non-combat staff are safe, but who would have thought that the Time Authority would be invaded as well?

Norman Osborne knows that the Time Authority has been conquering universes one after another, and has recently discovered a universe of great value. But who would have thought that they would fight in other universes, and their base camp would be copied back?

And who would have thought that the number of the invasion was the place where their children were?

"Nick, Harry is still a child, my only child."
