A second conversation with Nick Fury
The Shazo Legion's gains from participating in the Destroyer's Battle were certainly not limited to just one hundred pieces of Uru gold.
Abomination stood at the front of the line, fighting alongside powerful Asgard Gods against formidable enemies for two hours.
The progress of Abomination is so enormous.
At the very beginning of the battle, he was almost instantly killed by the Destroyer.
Midway through the battle, he fought alongside the Goddess Sif, sharing the burden of the Destroyer.
In the end, the Abomination outmaneuvered the Destroyer, trapping it in a snare from which it could not escape.
Through the tempering of real combat, Abomination fully digested the results of several months of cultivation and gained a clearer understanding of himself.
Back at the Legion Headquarters, without Shazo even reminding him, he took the initiative to begin cultivating, adjusting his cultivation methods and focus based on his combat experience.
From now on, when it comes to taking on Tank duties, Abomination is the expert and the insider, and Shazo, as an outsider, is not qualified to instruct him.
Skye also gained a lot. Through practice on the Divine Weapon Destroyer, she finally mastered the key techniques of vibration and gained a preliminary understanding of the Tiger Roar Sound.
Perhaps it won't be long before she masters this powerful sonic combat technique.
Abomination and Skye were engrossed in training, while Shazo focused on crafting Uru gold equipment.
This magical metal, ranked among the top in the Universe and said to be almost indestructible, posed no problem in processing for Shazo Zuo, who possessed [Electromagnetic Control].
Without the need for Star Forge or blacksmithing skills at the level of Dwarves king, Shazo Electromagnetic Force to modify the shape and microstructure of Uru gold at the atomic level.
No matter how strong the properties of Uru gold are, when they act on a small number of atoms, the properties of the material become insignificant.
The only problem is that it takes a considerable amount of time to complete each Shape Transformation.
Just when everyone was busy, Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D.. came knocking on their door again.
This time, he was well-prepared. He used his connections to contact David Rockefeller, who in turn contacted Shazo through Steven Rockefeller, and he received an invitation for a formal visit.
This series of networking efforts involved numerous favors and backroom deals, taking a full week for Nick Fury to finally secure the opportunity to visit.
Nick Fury originally didn't want to deal with Shazo, but after the secret warehouse ambush, he caught the masked man with the iron arm, and his investigation into the traitor within S.H.I.E.L.D.. finally had a lead.
The man with the iron arm had his brain completely destroyed, making it impossible to extract anything from him. However, through his metal arm, Nick Fury investigated the source of the parts and lubricant, uncovering several problematic laboratories.
Following the Flow of supplies and funds in these laboratories, he discovered a vast secret base dedicated to manufacturing metal arms and training similar brainwashed warriors.
Nick Fury, leading Captain America, Black Widow, and trusted agents, raided the secret base, seizing a large amount of classified information, Iron Hand, and half-brainwashed soldiers.
Even more astonishingly, deep within the base, they discovered Sergeant Bucky Barnes, a former Howling Commandos member who had long been believed to have died in World War II.
When Barnes was discovered, he was frozen in a cryogenic chamber, and his metallic left arm, which was full of Russian aesthetics, was carefully preserved in a sealed container.
This indicates that Sergeant Bucky Barnes underwent reformation in Red Russia and, like Black Widow, ended up in the United States after the collapse of the Red Empire.
However, he was unfortunately captured by a mysterious organization and used as a model to research and manufacture similar brainwashed warriors equipped with metal arms.
This program was called "Winter Soldier Program," and all the brainwashed soldiers who underwent the transformation were called "Winter Soldier."
Although Bucky's face was pale and frosty from the cold when he was found, Captain America Steve Rogers recognized his childhood friend at a glance.
Fortunately, Captain America recognized him, preventing the veteran from being left in S.H.I.E.L.D..'s lab.
Bucky thus avoided the fate of being used as a cadaver for live dissection, like other Winter Soldier.
After all, it's hard to regard a group of people who have been brainwashed by violence and can't even take care of their basic needs as real human beings.
Especially when the cost of sustaining their lives is enormous, it is even less likely that they will be treated as human beings.
Captain Steve is busy taking care of Bucky, while Nick Fury is busy hunting down traitors.
Based on the information seized from the secret base, the S.H.I.E.L.D.. establishment completely grasped the clues about the traitors, and by following the clues, they discovered a large number of traitors.
But the more they arrested people, the more clues they obtained, and the situation spread almost without limit, making Nick Fury increasingly terrified.
He had a vague idea that the so-called traitor within S.H.I.E.L.D.. might affect the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., and that most of the agents might not be on his side as director.
Nick Fury was terrified by the horrific outcome, and then he was so busy and overwhelmed that he couldn't even think about the Avengers he was so eager to join.
If Coulson hadn't come to him with video and satellite footage to report, Nick Fury wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this matter at all.
But after watching all the video footage, the man with the Nick Fury was completely dumbfounded.
He had never seen Robots as powerful as the Destroyer, nor an alien as powerful as Thor. With his limited knowledge, he couldn't even accurately judge the difference between Captain Marvel and Thor.
But one thing is certain: Thor is an existence that the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.. is powerless to confront.
The fact that Shazo and Abomination were able to intervene in this battle refreshed his understanding and changed his judgment of the Hulk.
Nick Fury discovered that there were far more superhumans than he had expected, making them an existence he could no longer ignore.
As a paranoid man who tries to control everything, Nick Fury cannot tolerate the fact that he has made such a huge mistake and then pretends not to see it.
So he set aside time and energy to arrange this meeting.
Because Nick Fury discovered that Abomination had two Superman, Shazo and Skye, behind him, he specifically called upon Captain America, Black Widow Natasha, and Hawkeye to bolster his forces so as not to be outmatched.
Actually, he wanted to invite Iron Man Tony Stark along.
Unfortunately, Shazo removed the shrapnel from Stark's veins beforehand, so he never experienced the so-called palladium poisoning crisis. Nick Fury didn't have a chance to do him a favor, so he couldn't use gratitude to manipulate him.
Only two of the most skilled agents, slated to join the Avengers, can be used as replacements.
Besides these high-level combatants, Coulson was also following behind Nick Fury.
With his exceptional diplomatic Talent, Coulson can ease tensions and initiate conversations, making him more effective than anyone else in negotiations.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. entered the reception room of the Shazo Legion Headquarters, the first thing they saw was Abomination, who was over 2 meters tall and covered in sharp bone spurs.
This monster is completely different from what it was a few months ago. His aura is as solid as a mountain, and even his hideously ugly face looks much more pleasing to the eye now.
The Abomination sat there, and the mere sight of him overwhelmed the five of them with his sheer presence.
It was also a coincidence that Nick Fury arrived; if he had come three days earlier or a week later, he wouldn't have seen such a powerful and imposing Abomination.
After battling the Destroyer, Abomination mastered all that he had learned.
After a week of practice, his control over his body improved to a new level, and his confidence gained a solid foundation.
Abomination, at this moment, gleamed like a newly forged sword, its sharpness fully revealed.
Her uncontrolled outward display of temperament is what makes her appear so assertive.
Even three days ago, the Abomination aura wasn't this exaggerated.
But this is not a good thing.
A long sword with its sharp edge exposed is prone to wear and rust; similarly, a person who displays excessive arrogance will lose their vitality and spirit.
When faced with real danger or the need for battle, they will not only lack the spirit to unleash their fighting power, but will also rapidly weaken from the start, leaving them with no chance to turn the tide.
So these past few days, Shazo has been urging Abomination calm his mind and gradually restrain his aura.
According to the schedule, he will be able to suppress all his aura in a week, and then he can start to build up his aura.
Maintaining a low profile in normal times not only allows one to accumulate energy and spirit, making one energetic and full of vigor, but also enables one to unleash a powerful burst of energy at crucial moments, defeating the enemy in one fell swoop.
After Nick Fury five men entered the living room, their attention was entirely focused on Abomination. They not only forgot to sit down, but also failed to notice that there were two other people beside him.
Skye waited for a long time, but the five visitors didn't move. Finally, she couldn't help but laugh.
The girl said, "Please sit down. Are you all going to stand and talk to us?"
Hearing the girl's clear laughter and words, the five Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finally snapped out of their daze and noticed the girl and her true master Xia Zuo Dawson.
Upon seeing this, Nick Fury, Steve, Natasha, and Hawkeye were once again taken aback.
These four agents, whether well-informed or highly capable, were extremely sensitive to the aura of the strong, which is why they were even more surprised.
When Shazo and Skye were quiet, their attention was completely drawn to Abomination, and they didn't even notice the two people's presence.
But when they noticed, they were horrified to discover that the mountain of Abomination was nothing more than a small mound in front of this intimate couple.
Phil Coulson also sensed the problem. He was not sensitive to aura or atmosphere, but he was very sensitive to interpersonal relationships.
Coulson noticed that Abomination's posture was actually quite reserved. He was not only respectful to Shazo, who was in the center, but also deliberately leaned back half a step when facing Skye, who was sitting on the other side.
Abomination willingly yielded its place, expressing its willingness to be subordinate to others in this way.
How could the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. not be surprised? In their minds, Abomination was a monster; he would only submit to beings stronger than himself, beings who surpassed him in every way.
Despite the Hulk's immense power, Abomination showed no fear or hesitation, fighting desperately until he lost consciousness.
But on second thought, they realized that it was normal to Abomination and fear Shazo.
Before Hulk even unleashed his full power, he had already crushed Abomination, while Shazo had forced the Hulk, even at his peak, to retreat into the depths of Bruce Banner's Mind Stone.
But if Abomination is so wary of Skye, this hacker, doesn't that mean this beautiful Asian-American is also more powerful than Abomination?
Nick Fury took a deep breath, led his men to the prepared seats, and the two sides began their conversation face to face.
The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. got straight to the point. "This is our second meeting, Mr. Shazo."
Shazo asked directly, "Hmm, what do you want to say this time?"
This one sentence is enough to show his attitude: Don't even think about taking my people!
Nick Fury was slightly disappointed. He had seen Abomination's fighting performance in the video; he was brave and resourceful, combining agility and determination—truly amazing.
The role that Abomination could play in direct combat even surpassed that of Captain America, so how could Nick Fury not be tempted?
But Xia Zuo Dawson is not someone to be trifled with; he's much more difficult to deal with Tony Stark, and also much more violent.
This guy's thought process—being ready to kill at the slightest provocation—is just like that of United States during the pioneering era 100 years ago.
Fortunately, S.H.I.E.L.D.. still has the Hulk as an option. Not only is Bruce Banner easier to communicate with, but the Hulk is also more powerful than Abomination.
Nick Fury had better options. After hearing Shazo's question, he clearly understood what Shazo meant and naturally gave up.
He naturally changed the subject. "Mr. Shazo, our purpose today is to ask you about Thor of Asgard."
"Based on the information we've gathered, you seem to be quite familiar with Thor. I'd like to learn more about them from you, especially their attitude towards Earth."
Shazo laughed, "Where did you get all this information from?"
Nick Fury replied seriously, "S.H.I.E.L.D..'s duty is to protect the Earth, and we are absolutely professional in intelligence gathering."
Shazo laughed loudly, "I think you should clean up your S.H.I.E.L.D.. troubles before you start spouting nonsense."
"Nick Fury, let me remind you, the root of your current predicament is your own Operation Paperclip."
Upon hearing Shazo's words, Nick Fury's expression changed drastically, while Coulson frowned thoughtfully.
Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Clint Barton were all baffled, having no idea what Shazo meant by "Operation Paperclip."
Shazo didn't intend to continue the topic. He reminded Nick Fury because he had recently discovered that Hydra truly lived up to its reputation as a villain hated by everyone.
Their actions were completely unscrupulous, disrespectful of rules, and their organization was chaotic with no possibility of self-discipline.
The idea of "cutting off one head and having two more grow to replace it" is nothing more than a cover-up for their own lack of organization and discipline, and their pure hodgepodge nature.
Because Hydra is so chaotic and disorganized, there are always brainless idiots among them who are willing to do anything and kill anyone.
