By the time S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special unit arrived, all they saw was a wrecked street and the corpse of a thoroughly dead Frost Giant.
It was not that they had reacted slowly. The moment the Frost Giant's appearance was detected, Coulson had already rushed over with his team through a portal.
This was because, after the upheaval in Jotunheim, Luo Xia had Kamar-Taj send people into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special operations units to provide them with the most efficient mobility support.
Naturally, Luo Xia had not kept the matter of Hive from S.H.I.E.L.D. There were still three places where Jotunheim remained faintly connected to Earth. Who knew whether Hive might send someone over to cause trouble? Luo Xia did not have the energy to monitor the entire globe himself, so this sort of thing was best left to S.H.I.E.L.D., whose specialty it was.
As a result, Coulson had actually arrived in very good time. Less than thirty seconds had passed from the Frost Giant's appearance to their arrival.
But this Frost Giant had been extraordinarily unlucky to run into Garuru after it had been shrunk down.
This steel giant wolf could charge in and out of thousands of Frost Giants unharmed. Dealing with just one was naturally an instant kill.
"Seal off the entire block. Have the emergency response team come clear the street. Check for casualties. If anyone is seriously injured, you are authorized to use diluted Healing Serum for emergency treatment. Simmons, inspect the body carefully. These Frost Giants are carrying some kind of extraterrestrial parasite..."
Coulson issued his orders methodically, and his subordinates carried them out with equal precision.
After working together for some time, this special unit composed of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Mutants, mages, and Pokémon had become one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s elite forces.
