The food that can greatly increase physical fitness made Coulson feel the terrifying heritage of this Sky City once again.
Especially those high-end dishes, just one serving can increase the basic attributes by up to forty points.
The basic attributes of ordinary people are maintained at around ten points, which is equivalent to a certain attribute quadrupling in an instant.
It felt as if I suddenly became an omnipotent super human.
When Coulson had just finished eating a steak, the representatives of International Security Council finally completed the tour under the leadership of Edna Bevin and filed in from the outside.
As the owner, Allen immediately stood up and greeted him with enthusiasm, "I believe that after wandering around Sky City for a long time, you must be a little hungry and thirsty. Please sit down and eat something, drink some drinks and relax first. Don't be polite!"
"Thank you very much!"
The old man at the head quickly forced out a smile.
It is easy to see from the flash of fear and worry in his eyes that the visit just now has completely shattered the representative's pride and confidence.
Now, he finally believes in the judgment given by Director S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury.
In fact, not only him, but also the representatives of other surrounding Earth powers had similar reactions.
no way!
The gap in strength between the two sides is really huge!
Soon, with the help of several maids, everyone sat down in their own seats and began to absentmindedly eat these obviously exotic delicacies and drink wine that would eclipse any drink on earth.
If it were normal times, these powerful senior bureaucrats would certainly not mind praising and touting the ultimate enjoyment these things bring to their tastes.
But now, they don't care about this at all. All they can think about is how to ensure that their country's interests will not suffer too much loss in this completely unequal negotiation.
In this way, the entire meal time of more than forty minutes was spent in complete silence.
After everyone had eaten and drank, Alexander Pierce took the initiative and said, "Your Excellency Allen, after the previous visit, I think we have a fairly deep understanding of each other. If you don't mind, can we start negotiations?"
"Negotiation? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Allen raised the corners of his mouth and stared meaningfully at the Hydra supreme leader lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D..
"That's right. I heard from Agent Coulson that you are willing to share your advanced technology with us, and the robot numbered GX51 is the best proof."
Alexander Pierce undoubtedly came prepared, and directly used the last transaction with S.H.I.E.L.D. as an example.
His purpose is simple, that is, to seize the trading channel originally monopolized by S.H.I.E.L.D..
Under the guise of International Security Council, he draws advanced knowledge, technology and various supernatural powers from it, and secretly helps Hydra develop and grow.
After all, profiting from the turmoil between the major powers has always been what they are best at doing.
"Haha, I think you seem to have made something wrong. It was not a sharing, just a simple transaction. And what I handed over to agent Coulson was not an advanced technology, just a robot that can be put into actual combat. Believe me, if you try to reverse engineer it, I guarantee there will be a very spectacular fireworks rising into the sky." Allen sneered, breaking the other party's illusion.
Just a little gold and Vibranium, is it like taking away from yourself a future technology that is decades or even centuries ahead of the world?
Go ahead and dream!
He also plans to use these technologies to exchange for some things he is interested in from S.H.I.E.L.D..
"You mean... there is a self-destruction device in that robot?" Alexander Pierce narrowed his eyes and probed cautiously.
Allen nodded without thinking, "That's right! The power core of that robot itself is a Miniature Fusion Reactor. When someone attempts to violently dismantle it, the reactor will be overloaded and eventually turn into a fireball that is more dazzling than the sun and completely disappear from the world. Don't forget, I explained clearly in the trading rules that physical objects and technology are two completely different concepts, and the price of the latter will be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the former."
"That's it!" Alexander Pierce looked thoughtful.
Realizing that he couldn't take advantage of the loophole, he immediately changed his direction. "Your Excellency Allen, your race should also be human, right?"
"Well! Yes! I was just an ordinary human being at first, no different from most ordinary people. Later, by chance, I gained the ability to travel between different dimensions. Through continuous accumulation and strengthening, I gradually obtained everything you see." Allen smiled and gave a positive answer.
"What! Are you actually a human?" Coulson opened his mouth in surprise.
"What, is it weird that I'm a human?" Allen spread his hands with an innocent look.
Coulson shook his head desperately incoherently. "No! This is impossible! How can a human being have such an amazing energy response?"
"Look, you are ignorant.
Human potential is actually much more terrifying than you think.
As far as I know, back in the 1990s.
There was a human woman named Carol Danvers who was hit by the energy of Tesseract. As a result, she obtained the extremely powerful Superpowers, and finally single-handedly destroyed the Kree Empire fleet that invaded the earth.
Even in the vast universe, she can be regarded as Ding Ding Daimyo.
No one knows this better than Nick Fury.
Because he is one of the parties involved.
In addition, there were several attempts to devour the earth, but the Dark Dimension master - Dormammu was repelled by Sorcerer Supreme.
He was once a human wizard.
Oh, maybe you can't understand how powerful Dormammu, the master of Dark Dimension, is.
Let me give you a simpler example.
As we all know, the universe is a multiplicity of entities.
In other words, there are often countless parallel single universes within a multiverse.
And in countless single universes, there will also be countless parallel versions of you.
But Dark Dimension is different!
Even in the entire multi-distant universe, it is the only one that exists!
This means that Dormammu, who became the master of Dark Dimension, possesses unimaginable power, even transcending the boundaries between life and death, and is immortal to a certain extent.
No matter how many times your universe is destroyed or restarted, Dormammu can still live well.
But in the beginning, he was just an insignificant human being. "
When saying these words, Allen's eyes flashed with a strange and chilling light.
You don't need to ask to know that from Dark Dimension's master Dormammu, he saw his future path.
Although in Doctor Strange's movie, Dormammu seems to look quite rubbish, being toyed with by a Time Stone.
But in reality?
This just shows how powerful he is.
Because if it were anyone else, including Thanos, they wouldn't even be able to feel that time has been reset.
"Carol Danvers? Dark Dimension dominates Dormammu?" Alexander Pierce showed a shocked expression on his face, and immediately turned his attention to Coulson. "Agent Phil! I think you and your director owe us all an explanation."
"Your Excellency Allen, you shouldn't say this." A helpless expression appeared on the face of the good old Coulson.
"Ah! Sorry, I forgot. It doesn't matter, just cleanse the memory."
After saying that, Allen raised Teuchi and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Along with a crisp sound, a white light suddenly fell from the sky.
Before everyone, including Alexander Pierce, could react, all the content of the conversation they had just had disappeared from their minds.
Apart from his dull and dazed eyes, nothing seemed wrong.
"Is this it again? Please spare me..."
Coulson, who had personal experience, immediately held his forehead in pain.
He simply couldn't believe that when he faced Representative International Security Council, the other party actually erased his memory even if he didn't agree with him.
"Don't worry, they won't remember what happened just now." Allen blinked indifferently.
"Promise me! Don't do this again! Otherwise, I guarantee that I will have a heart attack and die in front of you immediately." Coulson threatened through gritted teeth.
It has to be said that if he threatens the other party with his own life, he is forced to do this and has no choice.
"Don't be angry, I promise this is the last time."
Allen As soon as he spoke, the representatives got rid of the influence of magic and quickly returned to their normal state.
Over the next more than two hours, the two sides conducted a series of consultations on safeguarding the security of the earth, and finally signed a secret covenant.
As for the content, it is also very simple.
It is the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, a subordinate organization of International Security Council, which provides legal identities and documents for Allen and his subordinates, and allows them to carry out various activities in human society.
In exchange, Allen must sell some weapons, equipment and technology to International Security Council, and at the same time provide help when the earth suffers from foreign invaders.
This covenant is actually a complete implementation on paper of what both parties were originally doing.
Finally, with this covenant in mind, the representatives of these world powers finally breathed a sigh of relief and got up and went home, intending to report the results of the negotiations to the top leadership of their respective countries.
In any case, the relationship between the two allies is completely settled.
Which of the remaining countries will take advantage of it more? It will be up to the Eight Immortals to show their magical powers across the sea.
Watching these "gentlemen" who controlled S.H.I.E.L.D.'s money bags disappear at the end of the road in the face of the first ray of sunshine in the morning, Coulson, who had been busy all night, sat down on the roadside, picked up a can of Happy Fat Home Water from the car, opened it, raised his head and drank several gulps.
"Drinking too much of this stuff is not good for your health. Besides, you look a little stressed." Allen stood on the side of the road with his hands in his pockets, looking at the sun rising slowly from the horizon.
"It's more than just stressful! Do you know? Since you guys showed up, I haven't had a good night's sleep for almost a month. If this continues, it won't be long before I die suddenly while on a mission." Coulson complained rather helplessly.
"Are you short of manpower?" Allen asked pretending to be curious.
Coulson explained with a wry smile, "No, it's not a lack of manpower, it's a lack of trustworthy manpower. Forget it, you won't understand this kind of thing. I almost forgot to ask, how old are you and the two ladies? From the appearance, you are just like teenagers."
"We all have bodies that never age and die, so age has long been meaningless to us. If you have to count, I am about one or two hundred years old. Sakura is slightly younger. Artoria is King Arthur of the Ancient Britain Kingdom in a certain world. You can calculate how old you are." Allen gave a straightforward answer.
"A girl? Ancient King of Britain? The legendary King Arthur who founded the twelve Knights of the Round Tables? Are you kidding me?" Coulson stood up from the ground.
As a Westerner, especially a United States person who is deeply influenced by England culture, how could he not know the legend of King Arthur.
"When have I ever made such a joke? Haven't you noticed? The sword she wears is the legendary Sword of Promised Victory." Allen admired the wonderful expression on the other party's face with great interest.
After hearing these words, Coulson stood there as if his faith had collapsed, and could not recover from the shock for a long time.
In his impression, even if King Arthur is not a strong and rugged man, he should at least be the handsome Prince.
But what is the actual situation?
It turned out to be a beautiful girl with long golden hair.
All of a sudden!
Coulson seems to understand why Knights of the Round Table followed King Arthur loyally in the first place, and why a rebellion broke out later, leading to the destruction of the country and the family.
It took several minutes for him to finish digesting all the things he had made up in his mind. He threw the empty can into the trash can and sighed with a wry smile, "Okay, it seems I will look up the legend about King Arthur when I go back and reinterpret the story inside."
"It's not necessary. The King Arthur in other worlds are not the same as the King Arthur in your world. In fact, according to the theory of the multiverse, there will be as many King Arthur as there are earths in parallel worlds. They may be male or female, which actually doesn't matter at all. What matters is what choice you will make in this world, and what impact this choice will have."
After saying these meaningful words, Allen gently patted Coulson on the shoulder, then turned around and walked into the grocery store and disappeared without a trace.
"My choice?" Coulson had a thoughtful expression on his face.
The next second...
His cell phone suddenly made a sound and vibrated.
He took it out and saw a call from his own director, Nick Fury.
