Third Plan

Nick Fury was directly connected to the World Security Council members, an area Loki could not interfere with for the time being.

S.H.I.E.L.D. could be considered an organization almost independent of Loki's control. To formally appoint a new World Security Council member again, the candidate had to undergo cross-review by the other World Security Council members and receive the formal president's appointment.

Especially after the incident where Hydra's leader had been a World Security Council minister, anyone rushing to appoint a World Security Council member would make the other members wary. The more urgent the appointment, the greater their vigilance.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. sometimes crossed other countries' borders carrying heavily armed weapons to deal with abnormal incidents.

It could too easily cause serious consequences between nations.

Another figure like Hydra's leader would truly be unbearable.

After all, the vice president was not the formal president. Maintaining the status quo without making major changes and waiting for a new president to emerge was what a successor vice president ought to do.

Yet you were rushing to do what the formal president should do. Bringing up a World Security Council representative now—were you trying to bring in another "Hydra leader"?

Unfortunately, Loki really was.

But strict reviews, along with Nick Fury persuading four World Security Council members to stand firm, delayed the process.

Therefore, Nick Fury believed Loki wanted to become the formal president, directly appoint new World Security Council members, dismantle S.H.I.E.L.D., and openly obtain the Cosmic Cube.

"Or perhaps it's a diversion," He-El said after pondering for a while. "After all, Loki's goal has always been the Cosmic Cube."

Often, grand and dramatic displays were merely meant to hide the true objective being carried out in the shadows. Just like a spectacular election—no one could ever know how many interests
