night.
The night is pitch black and there are no stars.
NASA.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Catalyst Testing Center.
Space Radiation Reserve Center.
Project Pegasus Implementation Planning Center.
Dark Energy Joint Task Force Mission Center.
There is also NASA West District, which has dozens of names.
A helicopter stirred the airflow, appeared from the dark night in the distance, and landed directly at the helicopter landing position in the West District.
Nick·Fury Wearing a black leather coat, he stepped off the helicopter and looked around at the sparsely guarded West District. He felt a bit desolate and couldn't help but frown.
Since Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D. has been solved, S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen into Schrödinger's Law between disbandment and non-dissolution. There has been an obvious shortage of manpower, and because World Security Council is still arguing about whether S.H.I.E.L.D. should still exist, there is no way to supplement the personnel. Branches and facilities everywhere have been reduced to varying degrees.
NASA West District This is an important research and development location. Compared to places in other divisions, although the guards are scarce, it is considered good. At least there are guards.
Many other districts have been temporarily closed.
He-El, wearing a close-fitting suit, calmly followed Nick·Fury and stepped out of the helicopter.
"Hello, sir." The person who came forward was Phil Coulson, smiling at He-El with a kind face.
When He-El came to this world, Phil Coulson planned to use his identity as the CIA to interrogate He-El's identity and purpose. Later, He-El directly used money to clear the way and used United States's upper management to let the CIA see through his identity and capture him.
After that, Nick·Fury rescued him from the CIA, and he was assigned to NASA West District to become the person in charge.
"Long time no see, Agent Coulson." He-El glanced at him and smiled.
Phil Coulson was about to speak when a bolt of thunder interrupted his speech.
'Boom...'
A huge sound of thunder exploded in the dark night sky, turning the sky white in an instant. A figure drew an arc from the distance in the sky, carrying surging air currents and lightning, and flew to the apron.
Thor held Mjolnir, slightly bent his knees straight, wearing a black Asgard battle armor, with a red cloak hanging down from behind. The silver arc on his body quickly dissipated. He raised his head slightly, looked at He-El, opened his hands, and walked over with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, He-El, for helping Asgard maintain the peace of Nine Realms. You are my friend and Asgard's benefactor. Asgard will never forget your contribution."
Thor had a smile on his face, he opened his hands very boldly and happily, and hugged He-El fiercely. He patted his back and shoulders hard. After letting go, he turned to look at Nick·Fury. He hesitated and said:
"You...Nick... Haha, I haven't forgotten you, your bald head is like a black egg, you are also Asgard's friend, Nick, thank you, I thank you for Asgard and Nine Realms."
Thor laughed boldly, holding Nick with both hands until he staggered. The photo made Nick's back and shoulders feel a faint pain, and his face could not help but twist in pain.
Thor Don't you know how strong you are?
After several attempts, Nick·Fury broke away from Thor's heroic embrace. His back and shoulders were so painful that they were bruised and swollen. Thor apologized and said that he would bring some medicinal wine from Asgard next time for him to rub.
Nick·Fury was very speechless. He had not been injured in many spy operations, but he was directly injured by Thor in his arms.
His face twitched, and he endured the bruise on his shoulder and back from being slapped by Thor, and Nick·Fury took the lead.
Thor was excited but also a little apologetic.
He-El followed Nick calmly.
The instability of S.H.I.E.L.D. made Nick·Fury decide to hand over Cosmic Cube to Thor first.
It's not that Nick·Fury doesn't know how powerful Cosmic Cube is. In fact, no one knows the power of Cosmic Cube better than him. S.H.I.E.L.D. has also been using the power of Cosmic Cube to the limit that humans can use it.
But after all, compared to Asgard, human beings are at a disadvantage that they cannot fight against. This kind of disadvantage cannot be eliminated by one or two strong people. It is a problem that the entire civilization is so powerful that the gap cannot be looked at directly.
What kind of civilized force is Asgard? It is a powerful civilized force in the universe that can dominate Nine Realms. It is a force that can make all the major forces in the universe call it King Odin. It is the top force among gods.
What kind of force are humans?
Humanity is a civilization born in a transfer station among Nine Realms controlled by Asgard. To be honest, being able to keep the creatures in the transfer station alive is enough to prove the kindness of Asgard King Odin.
It would be an insult to Asgard's power to try to resist.
Human beings must not be able to fight against Asgard.
The most correct way is to use Cosmic Cube to establish friendship with Asgard.
It is also a thoughtful approach by Nick·Fury.
He could only take advantage of the fact that he could still control S.H.I.E.L.D., and hand over Cosmic Cube to Thor, the next generation successor of King of Asgard, to establish a friendship between the two parties.
Otherwise, when S.H.I.E.L.D. is disbanded and he can't decide anything, Cosmic Cube will face competition from the upper echelons of mankind, and they have no understanding of Asgard and the alien threat. How could their greedy hearts hand over something as powerful as Cosmic Cube.
In the end, it would be too unsightly and annoying for Asgard to snatch Cosmic Cube directly.
In particular, Thor has a heroic temperament and values promises over life and death. Such a person becomes the King of Asgard, which is the best guarantee for mankind, making Nick·Fury very satisfied.
"Thor, handing over Cosmic Cube to you is a symbol of friendship between humans on earth and Asgard. I hope that the peace between humans and Asgard will be maintained forever."
Nick·Fury said very seriously.
Thor nodded equally seriously, and in front of Nick·Fury, swore the oath of Asgard: "Humanity will always be Asgard's friend."
Nick·Fury is very satisfied. It is already amazing that humans have become Asgard's friends.
Before... Asgard When facing humans, it was normal to treat humans as beasts of other species.
After all, Asgard people have thousands of lifespans, which is enough to witness the ancestors of ordinary humans to dozens of generations of grandchildren. There is really no way for Asgard people to regard human beings as the same kind.
Now I have received a promise from my friend from Thor, the future King of Asgard. This promise can never be exchanged for money, and it can be said to be a big step forward for mankind.
At least it made Asgard look at him seriously.
The three of them took the elevator and went straight down to the underground research room.
Thor looked happy and saw Cosmic Cube in the center, being set up and being studied.
Thor quickly walked over and stretched out his hand towards Cosmic Cube, the moment he touched Cosmic Cube.
Cosmic Cube made a buzzing sound and burst out with a burst of energy, sending Thor flying.
