Nick Fury finally found a lead
The other researchers were also visibly excited. How could anyone who considered themselves a scientist not be thrilled at the thought of personally verifying one of the greatest conjectures in Physics?
Nick Fury wasn't interested, but instead of interrupting the researchers' excitement, he calmly asked, "So where does this inexhaustible energy come from?"
The researcher replied, "If the Tesseract is a portal, the most likely explanation is that the other side connects to a massive energy source."
"Judging from the periodic fluctuations in the intensity of the radiation energy, the object opposite is most likely a large celestial body such as a star or neutron star."
Nick Fury's eyes lit up; that was quite possible.
If it really is a portal, then Red Skull's mysterious disappearance back then has a more reasonable explanation: he accidentally triggered a portal and was transported to the other side of the distant Universe.
So those who were hit by energy weapons and disappeared on the spot didn't turn into ashes, but were teleported away.
Thinking about it carefully, this kind of death seems worse than being turned to ashes on the spot, because after being teleported, you'd most likely end up in the void of space, or even Bad Luck, face a star directly.
Nick Fury suddenly remembered that there were still energy weapon design documents captured during World War II in S.H.I.E.L.D..'s secret warehouse.
He told the researchers about the data, which caused a small sensation.
All the researchers were delighted. With the verified data as a reference, they were sure to gain a lot of inspiration, find more ideas, and greatly accelerate the research progress.
Nick Fury acted swiftly, finding the location of the top-secret data in the archives and leading several teams of agents to the rather old secret warehouse.
But when they opened the warehouse that had been sealed for decades, everyone was dumbfounded.
The huge warehouse was completely empty; the vast amount of original documents and sealed weapons that should have been stored there had all vanished.
But the heavy truck tracks left on the ground prove that this place was once full of goods.
Nick Fury pounded on the Main Gate: "Damn it, how many traitors are there? How come we can't kill them all?"
The top-secret warehouse was emptied decades ago, which proves that a traitor within S.H.I.E.L.D.. infiltrated the Level 9 security clearance at that time and managed to steal the entire warehouse without the director's knowledge.
So many years have passed, it's unimaginable how far the traitors at S.H.I.E.L.D.. have gone and how far they've infiltrated.
Nick Fury lacked a bit of imagination; he hadn't considered the possibility that within S.H.I.E.L.D.., only a very small minority of traitors remained loyal to the S.H.I.E.L.D..
"Get out of here, it's not safe!"
Hawkeye quickly pulled Director Fury away. Since the place had already been emptied by the traitors, they naturally had all the intelligence about it, and might even know about their arrival.
The convoy quickly departed, and all the agents loaded their weapons, ready for battle.
As the convoy drove out of the valley, a figure jumped out from the roadside.
The man held an Tank missile and fired it at the lead vehicle, belonging to the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Faced with a missile capable of tracking, neither Nick Fury nor Hawkeye attempted to evade it by car; instead, they immediately opened the car door and jumped out.
The two agents in the back seat reacted just as quickly, immediately jumping out of the car.
Only the Bad Luck sitting in the middle of the back row was blown to pieces by a missile before he could jump out of the car.
The last truck in the convoy was hit by multiple Rocket and instantly turned into a Fireball, killing four of the six agents on board.
Immediately afterwards, gunmen lying in ambush on both sides of the road stepped forward and opened fire on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., causing heavy casualties to the S.H.I.E.L.D..
But S.H.I.E.L.D.. was not to be trifled with; they immediately used their vehicles to launch a counterattack against the ambushers.
Both sides were extremely accurate shooters, and the exchange of fire lasted only a few seconds, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides.
But both sides also had their doubts, feeling that the other's marksmanship and tactics looked very familiar.
Shinsō, the Hawkeye, reacted most fiercely. Holding his bow and arrow, he risked standing up and firing a signal arrow upwards.
As the specially made signal fireworks exploded, the ambush attack stopped instantly.
But the guy who started the attack also rushed in front of the SUV, and with a swing of his Iron Hand painted with a red star, the bulletproof SUV was blown away.
Nick Fury and Hawkeye, who were hiding behind the car, were exposed, and they also saw the enemy with medium-length hair and a black respirator.
As the man raised his hand to attack, Barton's arrow had already left the bowstring, forcing him to grab the shaft with his other hand.
As everyone knows, Hawkeye's arrows are extremely insidious and should never be caught by hand.
Sure enough, the moment the arrow was caught, the inertia ignited the cap, causing a red glow to appear on the arrowhead before it exploded.
This is an explosive arrow, but the explosion is not very powerful. It only blows the arrow open like a trumpet flower and atomizes the anesthetic gas, covering an area of half a meter.
Caught off guard, the masked man with the metal arm was hit in the face with an anesthetic. Although the respirator blocked the anesthetic from reaching him, some of it was absorbed through his eyes and skin.
Instantly, he felt his eyes and half of his face go numb, his vision rapidly lost focus, and he could no longer see clearly.
This manifestation of dysfunction activated the coping mechanisms that had been firmly programmed into his mind during the brainwashing.
He looked up and surveyed his surroundings, discovering that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who had been ambushed had ceased fire and had identified each other.
The enraged agents quickly identified the only real enemy and surrounded the first vehicle.
The masked Masked Man the Iron Hand made his decision, and without hesitation, abandoned everything and began to run away.
Nick Fury narrowly escapes an attack, only to find that the attackers are all his own men. This tragic infighting is Oolong orchestrated by an internal enemy through orders, leaving him unable to vent his anger.
Seeing his only enemy trying to escape, how could he let him go? He shouted, "Grab him! Grabbing him will give us a clue to find the enemy!"
Hawkeye drew his arrow and fired again, this time using a tranquilizer arrowhead, and applied more tranquilizer after hitting the enemy.
Then came the third and fourth arrows, followed by an electric arrow that completely knocked the enemy down.
Nick Fury was overjoyed and let out a cheer. He rushed forward and tied up the enemy himself, and even wanted to personally beat the prisoner onto his car.
Unfortunately, the prisoner was too heavy for him to carry, so he had to work with several agents to lift him into the carriage.
An excited Nick Fury disregarded the fallen agents and transported the prisoners back as quickly as possible, remaining on high alert throughout the entire process.
After months of investigation, we finally caught the enemy by the skin of their teeth; it was truly a hard-won victory.
However, his smile quickly faded.
Back at the secret base, an immediate interrogation revealed that the man had a physical problem.
He not only felt no pain, no matter how much torture he endured, but he could also withstand electric shocks without expression.
Nick Fury brought in a hypnosis expert, only to discover that the man's head was already riddled with holes, having been subjected to countless hypnotic techniques.
The expert shook his head and sighed, "It's too cruel. Only a demon who doesn't treat people like human beings could do something so drastic to him."
"His mind was blank, except for the rules related to combat, the mission location, mission time, mission objective, and a temporary retreat point with a limited time."
Nick Fury was very disappointed. "So you're saying he's completely worthless?"
The expert replied, "Regarding this incident, he has no valuable information in his mind."
Hawkeye was extremely disappointed. In this assassination attempt against the director, the traitors used orders to mobilize Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to ambush him, resulting in the loss of more than 30 excellent agents from both sides.
After finally capturing a prisoner, he proved to be of little intelligence value.
Nick Fury, however, was not disappointed. Pointing to the prisoner's lifeless eyes, he said, "They're too superstitious about hypnosis. This guy's arm is in excellent condition; the lubricant and parts used aren't commercially available."
"Following the clues from these special parts and lubricant, we're bound to find something."
Reminded by the bureau chief's words, the hypnosis expert added, "This person's memory has been completely destroyed by hypnosis, which will inevitably damage the brain, cause endocrine disorders, and affect normal bodily functions."
"To keep him alive, they will definitely inject him with large amounts of various hormones and cholesterol-lowering drugs. Blood tests will analyze the components of these drugs, and they will surely be able to find chemical fingerprints and pinpoint the supplier's laboratory."
Nick Fury nodded and smiled. "Very good, let's do it that way."
Hawkeye said, "I'll investigate—"
Nick Fury interrupted him, "No, Barton, you go to New Mexico. Coulson needs your support."
"As for the investigation, leave it to Hill. She has the authority and ability, and she is trustworthy."
Barton trusted his colleague implicitly, so he nodded and said, "I understand, Chief. I'll head to Mexico now."
Chief Nick Fury will hide in a Safehouse that only he knows about.
In the current situation, without the protection of Hawkeye, Black Widow Natasha, or Captain America, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
The traitor within S.H.I.E.L.D.. was incredibly powerful; not only could he track the director's movements in real time, but he could also issue false orders to mobilize Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to ambush him.
If Nick Fury still doesn't understand that he's been largely sidelined, he might as well be dead.
Nick Fury led the prisoners away from the secret base. On the way, he suddenly remembered the words that Xia Zuo Dawson had said to him a few months ago.
Suddenly, he felt extremely embarrassed, his face turning bright red with shame.
Fortunately, he had a strong racial advantage, so no one could tell.
A few days later, Shazo and Skye, who were busy studying or researching, looked up at the same time.
Skye seemed unsure, and after carefully feeling the floor for a while, she asked, "Boss, this—"
"Did something—shoot down on Earth from outer space?"
Skye's soft voice traveled through several layers of reinforced concrete walls to reach Shazo's ears in the laboratory 40 meters underground in the villa.
Shazo clapped his hands lightly, teleported to Skye's side, and replied, "I felt it more clearly deep underground; it definitely came from outer space."
"The impact speed reached the speed of light, the impact mass was at least 600 kilograms, yet the impact force only reached the surface, but it still managed to shake the entire globe. This is too strange; nothing about it is normal."
Skye asked, "Boss, shall we go take a look?"
Shazo immediately decided, "Let's go together and see what happened."
He took a Sling Ring out of his pocket, slipped it onto his right hand, and drew a perfect circle.
As he moved, a ring sparkling with golden light appeared in the sky, and the landscape in the middle of the sky was a red desert.
Over the past few months, Shazo has made several trips to Kamar-Taj via the New York Sanctum, specifically learning two spells: [Magic Condensation] and [Portal].
Unlike other mages, Shazo did not borrow magic from Vishanti, nor did he pray to any demons or Dimensional Demons for magical power.
The magic he uses originates from himself; it is a new kind of magic extracted from the origin of the Universe, derived from his powerful, almost immortal life essence.
According to the Ancient One, Shazo was born a demon god, but he was too young to accumulate enough magic power or find his own dimensional space.
Given enough time to prepare, Shazo's path to godhood can be described as unobstructed.
The Ancient One, in her capacity as the Sorcerer Supreme, warned Shazo Zuo: "You currently face only one problem, which is, what exactly do you intend to do with such immense power?"
In the language of Huaxia culture, this means to set one's mind on the path or to establish a grand aspiration.
Because the magic he uses is his own, Shazo masters magic very easily and casts spells extremely quickly, with almost no pre-cast animation.
After passing through the circular portal, Shazo and Skye saw the huge circular patterns on the ground.
Skye stared at it for a while, then habitually asked, "Boss, what's this?"
Shazo replied, "These are traces of the Bifrost in Asgard. Someone came to Earth from Asgard."
Skye asked, "Asgard? Isn't that the kingdom of the gods in Norse Mythology?"
"Could it be that All-Father Odin, Thor, and Loki, the god of conspiracy, really exist in this world?"
Shazo replied, "Yes, they are gods, royalty of the Asgardians, true and proper Gods."
"But in a sense, they should be considered aliens, ruling over nine star systems, including Earth, collectively known as the Nine Realms."
"Thousands of years ago, the Asgardians descended upon Earth and repelled the Dark Elves who attempted to conquer it."
"It must have been around that time that they left behind the myths of the Norse gods on Earth."
Within Shazo's [Mantra], there are a total of 5 incredibly powerful beings nearby. Four of them are grouped together, approaching the other sealed entity.
Shazo knew what was going on.
