"Marvel's Magnetic Field Rotation"
After exchanging words with Dr. Selvig for a while, Wei Xiuming noticed a hint of confusion hidden beneath Nick Fury's serious expression, so he explained to Black Eggplant in simple terms.
"If everything goes smoothly, my teleportation gun will open a one-way portal, allowing us to leave this strange space and return to our world. But now, where the original portal should have been, it's already open; the other side has created a portal from the outside in."
"A door cannot open both inward and outward simultaneously; that would create a logical contradiction: the person opening the portal from the outside couldn't get in, and we couldn't get out."
With the power of the Space Stone, ordinary methods of sealing space are ineffective, because it represents the highest level of spatial rules in the current universe. Even though the teleportation gun used a portion of spatial particles extracted from the Tesseract, its level is still very high, and only spatial particles of the same level can seal it.
Nick Fury, as if struck by a sudden thought, asked, "Then you can simply open a door somewhere else, just like a bank vault door that's too sturdy can be easily broken through the wall to create another door."
Then Black Eggplant noticed that Wei Xiuming and Dr. Selvig were looking at him with very strange eyes. Because he only had one eye, he turned his head to let his single eye rest on the faces of the two men, and finally determined the meaning in their eyes—that they were a fool and a madman, respectively.
"A portal is an application of the laws of space physics, teleporting an object to a location one meter away from its original position and to the other side of the universe. The energy required to open a portal is not much different. At the same time, the coordinates of the portal are also very important. Even a number that can be almost ignored after the decimal point can change the teleportation point from London to a white dwarf."
Selvig mercilessly mocked Nick Fury's ignorance, then continued to marvel at Wei Xiuming's technology, "To measure the value of a space and record it in a comprehensible way, in that instant, Dr. Clark's brain calculated faster than any existing supercomputer... No, the brain of a healthy human being calculates far faster than any existing supercomputer, yet it must maintain the integrity of the human body."
Although his primary profession was as an astrophysicist, after glimpsing the truth, he also acquired a great deal of knowledge in other disciplines, such as assembling a gravity detection device from a pile of junk, which was originally Tony Stark's specialty.
"Are we going to be trapped here forever?" Nick Fury asked calmly. Regardless of whether he had any backup plans, he had two scientists with him.
Some of the parts used to assemble the gravity detection device came from old-fashioned keypad phones, which were distributed by S.H.I.E.L.D.. to field agents. Special encryption methods prevented hackers from stealing the data. Although smartphones were a better option, due to budget constraints, lower-level agents could only use these old phones that had no other functions besides sending and receiving text messages and making calls.
Dr. Selvig's fingers flew across the keyboard, like a pro writer typing 5,000 words in an hour using a nine-key keyboard on their phone. He quickly typed something on his phone and came to a conclusion. "No, in four hours, the trajectory of the Nine Realms will allow this space to reconnect with the outside world, and a natural spatial passage will appear."
Hearing that it would only take four hours, Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief—although he was Black, he was at least a well-educated man, unlike the cannibalistic people of the African continent.
If the three of them are to be trapped here for more than three weeks, then the question will be how to survive. The best way is to kill the weakest one, drink his blood and eat his flesh, so that the other two can prolong their lives.
The choice was undoubtedly Dr. Selvig — Nick Fury would pray for the old doctor before the meal, as long as he didn't lose his mind due to thirst and hunger.
He could wait four hours.
Even if something unexpected happens, his (Hydra's) secret Avengers Squad can hold them off to some extent.
Furthermore, his Skrulls friend Talos will mimic him in issuing commands and coordinating various forces. The alien race's talent allows him to acquire his appearance while replicating his short-term memories and way of thinking. This ensures that his overall strategic direction is aligned with Nick Fury's, without revealing the deepest secrets in his mind.
However, reality will slap the proud in the face, and the absurdity of reality far exceeds the complexity of the human heart.
With a spatial fluctuation, the Dark Elves warships teleported to Earth, to the Thames River near Greenwich, and rampaged across the riverbank.
The crowd began to flee in panic away from Greenwich. Car accidents and stampedes were inevitable. The Dark Elves had not yet launched their attack; they had only damaged roads and buildings, but casualties had already occurred.
In Malekith's perception, the Aether appeared here and eventually disappeared here. No matter who it ended up in, the Aether would eventually return to his hands.
But before that, he wants to drag the world into darkness. Even without the Aether, he has dark magic, and the lives and souls of Earthlings will be good sacrifices.
After the Dark Elves launched their offensive, the death toll multiplied dramatically, a testament to the overwhelming superiority of technology and race.
"Secret Avengers, move out!"
At S.H.I.E.L.D..'s London base, having received prior intelligence, Talos, disguised as Nick Fury, entered the office and gave orders to Agent Shilvert. It's unclear what the mindset of this Indian-born agent would be when carrying out a mission in his homeland.
But the bald agent, Shilvert, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Talos with a very suspicious gaze. "Sir, you previously issued orders that the Secret Avengers cannot be deployed until casualties reach a certain level when an unknown enemy invades Earth—if you want to change your orders, you need to verify the three-part code. Do you wish to modify the orders?"
You, Nick Fury, actually held back a trick here!
However, this kind of behavior is actually something Nick Fury would do.
Talos thought to himself, but said without changing his expression, "Very good, continue with the order."
After Talos left with Nick Fury's face, Shilvert took out his phone and dialed Alexander Pierce: "Minister, the information provided by the doctor is correct. Nick Fury has a perfect double who can mimic all his physical characteristics—height, weight, body heat radiation, body odor, bad breath, fingerprints, iris, even the tone, pitch, and vocabulary of his voice are exactly the same. Current technology cannot distinguish between the double and the real Nick Fury—or, everything that has been appearing before us has been a Nick Fury double."
"However, there is a difference between a Stand and Nick Fury himself: a Stand's memories are incomplete, and any manipulated, erroneous memories can distinguish the two."
Alexander Pierce, on the other end, wasn't alone. Under the pretense of a work report, he was now in a secret office with Gideon Malik. After receiving the call from Shilvert, he said knowingly, "I understand."
"Minister, what's our next task?" Shilvert asked, looking at the rampaging Dark Elves on the monitor screen. Nick Fury's orders? That was all a lie—a test to see if the person before him was the real Black Eggplant. The three-stage verification code? Completely fabricated—this was something Doctor Death had instructed him to do beforehand. He would take the real Nick Fury into a cage, where Hydra would be free to do as they Hydra.
Monopolies are always the easiest business to do.
In the last Battle of New York, Hydra looted the Chitauri's Leviathan transport ships and individual weapons, but apart from them, other forces, large and small, obtained some samples through various channels.
Unfortunately, the fundamental differences in their civilizations made it extremely difficult to reverse engineer the Chitauri technology. Comparing a binary civilization, whose basic programming consists of the numbers 1 and 0, to understand a duodecimal civilization is impossible.
The only research results were achieved by Baron Strucker. Through Doctor Death's connections, Baron Strucker recruited a group of street scavengers with a large sum of money. The single dad nicknamed "Vulture" led a "research" team of several second-rate partners and actually managed to tinker with something.
Although they only activated the Chitauri parts whose usage was disabled due to the destruction of their mothership, Vulture and his team actually managed to assemble one, thanks to their experience of collecting scrap metal Vulture the street, disassembling useful parts from multiple identical electronic products to assemble a usable unit, and then selling it secondhand for a profit.
For example, by combining the remains and energy cores of Chitauri individual weapons with modern weaponry, mass-produced individual weapons, anti-aircraft guns, and towed artillery were created; and by referencing Iron Man's Iron Man suit, exoskeleton equipment with low-altitude flight capabilities was also developed.
But that's all.
The Dark Elves are different. In Doctor Death's words, the Chitauri are a civilization from a distant galaxy, while the Dark Elves are a civilization derived from the Nine Realms formed by the World Tree. To some extent, they share the same origin as human civilization, making it much easier to analyze their technology than that of other civilizations.
In particular, after their defeat, the Dark Elves roamed the universe without increasing their population or developing technology, simply waiting for the right opportunity to retrieve the Aether and, when the Nine Realms were united, to completely plunge the Nine Realms into darkness.
The invaders only possessed one warship and some weapons far beyond Earth's civilization, making them very easy to deal with.
Shilvert is now allowing the Dark Elves to Carnage London so that these people can test the Dark Elves' combat capabilities and the characteristics of their various weapons at the cost of their lives.
If we can solve the problem with overwhelming firepower, we won't need to send our own super soldiers into battle.
As for Alexander Pierce and Gideon Malik, they began to confirm the information Wei Xiuming had revealed to them—alien invasion, Secret Invasion, the Fear Itself, the Age of Ultron, Infinite Crisis, and so on. These disasters that would affect all of humanity were coming true one by one, or it was only a matter of time before they occurred.
The Chitauri invasion; the Skrulls, bribed by Nick Fury through various means; Ultron wreaking havoc on the network—all these events confirm Wei Xiuming's original prophecy.
Hydra already possessed the power to rule the Earth. Their weapon system, known as "Project Insight," had matured under Wei Xiuming's intervention. After analyzing the technology of the alien spaceship that crashed in the new millennium and dividing up the vampires' wealth and stored technology, they were even more confident.
But they didn't do that. After throwing some insignificant Hydra agents at Nick Fury, Hydra went into hiding, becoming even more S.H.I.E.L.D.. than S.H.I.E.L.D..
This strategy has proven to be correct.
The cooperation between Hydra and SHOCKER can continue.
"Could you tell me about those people?"
The Great Leader did not hide his emotions. Hearing the unexpected news from Hela stirred his heart, and the power that unconsciously spread out shattered a series of rugged mountain peaks. The deathly silence of Helheim meant that even the air did not move. The shattered mountains filled the gaps between the original mountains, turning the mountain area into a plateau.
"I wonder what the soil is like here, whether it's suitable for growing vegetables?"
Farming is an innate talent rooted in one's soul; even if one changes their physical form, it cannot be avoided.
In the Great Leader's own timeline, after his power broke through the 750,000-atom splitting realm, he took some vegetable seeds and flew to the moon. He used his power to change the soil structure of a region and tried to grow vegetables—this was also a way to test his control over his power.
Transforming lunar soil into a composite soil suitable for plant growth is more difficult than simply creating a single substance, and it can also be considered a way for him to practice his skills.
After a thought flashed through his mind, the Great Leader focused his attention on Hela in front of him. To show his sincerity, he pulled the Adamantium Alloy longsword from Hela's abdomen.
"Those were some very strange people. Their souls were native to Midgard, yet they considered themselves transmigrators. They kept muttering strange things about Black Widow, witches, Vision's brother who could change density, length, and hardness, and the Elf Queen Galadriel." Although Hela's injuries had healed, the force of the Magnetic Field Rotation still prevented her from using her magic. Chatting with the Great Leader was a good way to pass the time.
"Where does their power come from? Is it manifested through magic, Daoist Magic, or qi?" the Great Leader asked.
At most, there could be two time travelers in one world. But according to Hela, more than one time traveler, or someone who identifies as a time traveler, had tried to take advantage of her.
Hela said, "They are merely puppets of power..."
