Nick Fury's Folly

"You know him?"

"Thor, do you recognize the writing on this stone tablet?"

As a highly trained and skilled agent, Natasha's hearing is far more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

Thor's murmur and the fleeting look of horror on his face instantly alerted this thorny rose.

Ancient Egypt civilization, that was a civilization from thousands of years ago.

Thor actually knows him?

Is there any connection between Ancient Egypt civilization and Norse Mythology?

Natasha and Coulson exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

"This is our ancient Asgard script, which is rarely used even in Asgard." Thor took a deep breath and didn't look at the towering stone statue again. He walked to the ancient stone tablet and reached out to brush away the dust that was obscuring the writing.

This should have been an act of vandalism against cultural relics, yet Coulson and Natasha did not stop it at all.

"What does this stone tablet say?"

Natasha walked up to Thor first, and with her hands behind her back, she subtly gestured to Coulson, who immediately understood and turned on the button recording device.

"It must be something that happened on this land back then."

Despite the passage of time, the ancient Asgard script has not become blurred or unclear, and it perfectly records the Ancient Egypt people's reverence for the two saviors.

"When darkness from another dimension buries the sun, the blond-haired, blue-eyed warrior will stand tall on the earth..."

"A fist can cleave the sky, a foot can shatter the earth..."

"They are the guardians of Egyptian civilization, the saviors of mankind, and the only two true gods in this world..."

The excessive praise left Coulson and Natasha exchanging bewildered glances.

What does that mean?

Didn't Odin say that Beckett was a demon?

"Then who is this woman?"

Regardless of what exactly happened back then, Natasha immediately turned her gaze to the female statue not far away.

The only two true gods in the world—this adjective is not something any Tom, Dick, or Harry could possibly be worthy of.

"If what's written on this stone tablet is true..." Thor's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"She should be... my older sister..."

Are you kidding me!

Thor shook his head, put his hand to his forehead, and closed his eyes to sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

When did he get an older sister?

Why is there absolutely no trace of this sister in the history of Asgard?

It's not found in either history textbooks or folk tales.

This doesn't make sense.

Thor looked up, and the luster of his long, flowing golden hair seemed to have dimmed slightly.

"What?"

"Your sister?"

Natasha and Coulson exchanged a glance, then turned their gaze to the stone statue behind them.

"The beautiful daughter of Odin, that's what the inscription says."

"There's another question, Coulson, who is Menis?"

Forcing himself to calm down, Thor's gaze fell on the inscription's signature. The name "Menis" was unfamiliar to him; he was certain he had never heard of it before.

"The king who unified all of Ancient Egypt, the founder of the First Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, and the first known Pharaoh." Coulson, who had done his homework before coming to Egypt, rattled off the words without hesitation.

"He wrote this inscription."

After revealing who signed the inscription, Thor, his mind in turmoil, walked straight to the statue of Hela. He looked up, as if trying to etch the lifelike face of the Hela statue into his heart.

"I see."

"I'll have someone check the ancient books and records about Ancient Egypt civilization and Pharaoh Menis right away." Coulson nodded, glanced back at the wonders of the world before him, and then turned to leave.

"Thor, what do you know about Hela?" After Coulson left, Natasha Romanoff was the only Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. left inside the pyramid.

"I have no idea."

"My father and mother never told me that they had a daughter before me."

Thor shook his head, took a few steps back, and his vision suddenly opened up.

"The inscription says Beckett and your sister were saviors, so why did your father say this man was a devil?"

"I don't know. Perhaps I have to go back to my father with what he wants to find out the truth." Thor shook his head, then turned to Natasha and said seriously.

"The Tesseract is of paramount importance. Even if Nick Fury were the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., he wouldn't be able to retrieve that thing in a short time."

"You know, not everyone believes what your father said."

As a secret agent, lying without batting an eye was an essential skill for Natasha Romanoff.

To get Nick Fury to willingly hand over the Tesseract, let alone Thor's S.H.I.E.L.D. instruction from Odin, it would take Odin himself storming Tesseract. before this cunning king of agents would hand it over.

Bringing Thor to this pyramid ruin was Nick Fury's delaying tactic.

To Nick Fury's surprise, Thor actually translated the text on the stone tablet.

"You don't believe me?"

Thor, no longer the big, simpleton he once was, understood the unspoken meaning.

"No, believe me, Thor, of course I believe you, but... there are still many people in this world who have never witnessed your power."

"They won't just agree to hand over the Tesseract like that."

Natasha, who was in charge of calming Thor down, spoke with a touch of emotion.

Humans have always been creatures with extremely complex emotions.

As a former Soviet agent, she felt this even more deeply.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"Do they want to stand by and watch the Earth be destroyed?"

"Or do they think that their so-called missile weapons are enough to threaten Beckett, whom even my father treats with such seriousness?"

Thor thought those people were really crazy.

"Calm down, Thor, calm down, okay?" Natasha, who had anticipated Thor's reaction, held up her palm to signal Thor to calm down.

"I believe you, I believe everything you say, but the Earth isn't like it was in ancient times anymore, is it?"

"We still have Tony Stark, we have S.H.I.E.L.D.., and we still have the Hulk."

"Us--"

"Nick Fury doesn't want to hand over the Tesseract, does he?" Thor asked coldly, raising his hand to interrupt the beautiful woman who was counting on her fingers.

"No, of course he thinks so. He believes in you just like I do." Natasha certainly couldn't admit to something like that.

"Tell your director that I need the Tesseract right now."

"Nick Fury's continued procrastination is a stupid act of slow suicide."

"Tony Stark? I could smash that suit of iron with one blow; S.H.I.E.L.D..? Not an S.H.I.E.L.D. one of you could stop my father."

"And that Hulk, believe me Natasha, he wouldn't last a single move against my father."

"Tell Nick Fury not to let his foolish ideas blind him."

"A figure even my father had to be wary of, is not someone you mere humans can withstand." Thor was truly amused and exasperated by the stupidity of this group.

Can you please stop overestimating your abilities?
