Unexpected
But when the bullets actually hit the guards, the Supergiant realized that Loki was right. These creatures, who could only send a handful of people out of the atmosphere with the full power of their nation, had a unique talent for destroying other species and themselves. Their individual weapons were really powerful. The armor on his carefully selected guards was made of a high-performance alloy, but it was actually breached by the weapons in the hands of the Earthlings.
This is like driving an armored vehicle into a primitive tribe. Although the primitive people's bows and arrows with bone arrowheads could kill you, you would be safe hiding in the armored vehicle. But just as you were thinking this, you discovered that the primitive people were using fin-stabilized discarding sabot arrows with arrowheads made of depleted uranium alloy. Modern armor plates simply cannot stop them.
This made the Supergiant suspicious; what they saw in their brains wasn't like this at all.
This is all Wei Xiuming's fault. After taking over the Tesseract research project, his first priority was not to launch a vigorous research project, but to reorganize the rules of the entire base. One of the reasons why the Tesseract to go out of control and the staff to evacuate.
Another issue is the upgrade of weapons and equipment. Even when facing enemies of cosmic scale, Nick Fury still equips his men with assault rifles. He has been researching the Tesseract for so long, and his warehouse is full of energy weapons, but he never lets his men use them. It's as if the funeral expenses and compensation for the agents are nothing.
In the movie, he also hilariously fought Loki, who was escaping in a pickup truck while riding in a helicopter. Loki was using a scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone, which fired energy beams comparable to an RPG, shooting down Black Eggplant's helicopter with a single shot.
Black Eggplant only had a small pistol, and he exchanged fire with Loki, "biubiubiu".
The U.S. military's operational manual states that the sole purpose of a pistol is to create an opportunity to find an assault rifle, not to kill the enemy.
After Wei Xiuming temporarily took over the base, he immediately made a grand gesture, purchasing a batch of Electromagnetic Nail Gun and White Noise Wave Cannon from the Osborn Group and distributing them to the guards to replace their outdated weaponry.
The agents' understanding of conventional weapons was limited to assault rifles, but they were actually using heavy firepower.
Under the upgraded firepower, the guards acting as a shield in front of the Supergiant were damaged... The Electromagnetic Nail Gun's Negasonic Teenage Warhead lost most of their force after penetrating the protective armor, but they were still able to break through the guards' skin and pierce their muscles.
However, this level of lethality was far from enough to cause fatal damage to the guards. At most, it would make them feel the pain that Rong Momo was experiencing when she was performing acupuncture on Ziwei. Moreover, during the Mechanical Modification, some of the guards' nerves had been removed or severed, so they would not react unless they suffered a fatal injury.
"Go and take care of them!"
Hiding behind the guards, the Supergiant once again gave the order. This time, it was Loki who infiltrated Earth and opened the portal. Half a year of training was not enough for Loki to bring too much material over. She only brought one guard, whose newly repaired armor was destroyed in a single encounter. How could she tolerate this?
This isn't an Amazon CSM belt. To pay homage to the Jin-san version, they even paid a professional to repaint it.
The Mechanical Modification guards pulled out energy guns, and after a volley of fire, few of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were left standing. Black Eggplant, along with Dr. Selvig and Hawkeye Clint, quickly hid behind the equipment, using it as cover.
Others, the quicker ones, saw the guards raise their guns and immediately lay down on the ground, thus escaping death. Those who were slow to react were the ones who died.
When the Electromagnetic Nail Gun failed to achieve effective damage, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately switched weapons, firing White Noise Wave Cannon in alternating bursts. The combination of these White Noise Wave Cannons, which had even defeated the Hulk, proved to be the most effective weapon against such a tough enemy.
However, the energy beam failed to hit the guard; instead, a blue energy shield deployed in front of it, completely blocking the White Noise Wave Cannon.
Using the previous example, if a primitive man's tail-stabilized discarding sabot arrow could penetrate the armor of your armored vehicle, you would definitely need to add reactive armor to improve its defensive capabilities.
However, focusing solely on weaponry is unwise. No matter how powerful the weapons in the hands of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., they are still just ordinary humans. A single Mental Storm from Supergiant would wipe them all out once again.
"Loki, did you get the Tesseract?" the Supergiant behind the guard asked.
Before anyone knew it, Loki had arrived in front of the device containing the Tesseract, and after waiting for a while, he reached out to grab it.
The Tesseract is, after all, a container for the Infinity Stones, and not just anyone can touch it. Just as the Dark Elves turned the Reality Stone into the Aether, Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, was able to use it to plunge the entire universe into darkness, Jane Foster in the movie became critically ill after being parasitized by the Aether.
When Red Skull went to retrieve the Tesseract with his bare hands, he was instantly teleported to the planet where the Soul Stone was located, becoming a gatekeeper and guide.
After six months of targeted practice, Loki was able to open the portal, but as his understanding deepened, he became increasingly aware of how terrifying the Tesseract was, and he made very careful preparations before attempting to take it.
"Immediately."
Loki responded with a smile, then his wrist was grabbed by someone, stopping him from taking any further action. "Sir, I'm sorry, this is S.H.I.E.L.D.. property, and we're afraid we can't let you take it."
"Yeah?"
Loki chuckled and then used a joint lock, attempting to break free from the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s grip using the Asgard's superior physical abilities. But after several attempts, he couldn't break free; the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hand remained firmly in his grasp like an iron clamp.
They encountered another powerful opponent.
When physical strength is inferior to others, weapons are a great help. Loki is not empty-handed now. With his right hand restrained, the scepter in his left hand immediately thrust out like a short spear. Relying on the superior properties of the alien alloy, the sharp scepter head can even penetrate the body of an Asgard, let alone a mere Midgardian.
But don't forget that Loki's one hand was being held by this Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. The moment his other hand made a move, the agent sensed what he was about to do through physical contact. He immediately pulled Loki's hand back a step, while simultaneously kicking Loki's shin with the sole of his foot, instantly disrupting Loki's balance.
