Tony's phrase "They will never grow old" hits everyone's heart.
On the holographic screen, those photos and information spanning hundreds of years silently tell a fact, which is far more real and shocking than the illusion created by Lucian.
Nick Fury believes in his intelligence network, but he also believes in JARVIS's search capabilities.
So, these are all true.
"Even if they don't age, it doesn't prove that they are aliens, let alone that there is a giant embryo that can explode beneath the earth." Nick. Fury tried to grasp the last bit of logic.
"The newborn god is sleeping in the center of the earth. With his huge body, maybe you can find something under Indian Ocean." Lucian opened his mouth and gave a verifiable direction.
Fury answered immediately:
"Do you have the coordinates?"
"No."
"You want us to go to an ocean area of millions of square kilometers to find something buried underground?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have a global monitoring network?"
Lucian looked at him.
"If an anomaly of this magnitude cannot be found, there is no need to continue Avengers Initiative."
There was silence in the conference room.
Tony Put the wine glass back on the table.
"I like this sentence. Although it sounds like scolding everyone, I will take it as an encouragement to me."
Lucian gave the clues to S.H.I.E.L.D. not just for them to verify Celestials.
He needs Fury to mobilize all satellites, submarines and global databases. Once S.H.I.E.L.D. starts investigating, the long-term traces left by Eternals will be uncovered.
This is easier than explaining it in person.
More importantly, Fury will find those hidden Eternals members for him.
It is more cost-effective to have someone do the work for you than to search all by yourself.
"As for your other questions." Lucian glanced at everyone, "Follow me."
Steve Get up.
"Where to go?"
"Meet the leader of Eternals."
"What if she refuses to cooperate?"
Lucian turned his head sideways.
"She will cooperate."
After saying that, Lucian turned to Tony.
"First find a top-notch laboratory for the two people I brought back."
"Okay." Tony shrugged, looking at Helen Cho who said nothing and Shuri who looked unhappy, "But I have to test their quality first, Stark Industries doesn't care for idlers."
Tony turned sideways and spoke to the air:
"JARVIS, open the experimental area for them and prepare the equipment needed for biotechnology and nanoengineering. Energy, materials, and computing resources will be allocated according to the highest authority."
"Sir, the highest authority includes the security system of Stark Tower."
"Then give them the second highest authority. I'm not generous enough to give away my house."
Shuri looks up.
"I need Vibranium raw materials, a precision scanner, and a host that can withstand high-intensity computing."
Tony looked at her.
"You know what equipment you need at such a young age?"
"It's better than relying on a set of flying iron sheets to solve problems at your age."
Tony's smile stopped at the corner of his mouth.
Steve looked away and moved his shoulders slightly.
Natasha raised his hand to cover the corners of his lips.
"I heard it." Tony pointed at Shuri, "Everyone here heard it."
"So when will the equipment arrive?"
"JARVIS?"
"Preparation has begun."
Shuri Collapse Vibranium module.
"The efficiency is okay."
Tony turned to Lucian.
"Where did you find the little monster?"
"Wakanda."
"Very good. Now even a child can hurt me."
Helen Cho stood aside and looked at Tony.
"I need complete human tissue samples, nanorobot operation records, and your existing regeneration technology data."
"What are you going to study?"
"First look at your technical level and then decide how much I can help you change."
Tony's eyebrows raised.
"Sounds like you're going to give me extra lessons."
"If your foundation is poor enough, you may need it."
Tony looked at Lucian.
"Both of them are very aggressive. Are you sure they are here to help me?"
"As long as I can follow your train of thought."
"They'd better keep up."
After Tony finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to walk to his armor display area.
Lucian looked at him. "Where are you going?"
"Of course, put on my armor. Who knows where you are going to take us?"
But before he finished speaking, Telekinesis spread out from the conference room, and everyone's feet left the ground at the same time.
"Wait a minute, I can fly by myself."
"No need."
Telekinesis dragged everyone out of Stark Tower.
Tony adjusted his posture sideways, and after a few seconds of adaptation, he actually smiled.
"This is my first time flying without a suit."
He opened his arms.
"I have to say, it feels pretty good."
Steve looked at the rapidly shrinking city below.
"Do you usually take people on a journey like this?"
"It depends."
"What's going on?"
"When you're in a hurry."
This time even Banner couldn't help but laugh.
A few minutes later, everyone stopped above an old building.
Tony lowered his head and looked at his feet.
"You hide her in a place like this?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. searched here?"
Fury's face turned even more ugly.
Lucian led everyone to the top of the building, raised his hands and pressed them to the ground below.
The metal structure made a dull sound.
The floor slabs, steel bars and underground pipes shook at the same time, and the whole building seemed to be supported by an invisible hand. The next moment, the metal chambers buried hundreds of meters underground were pulled out layer by layer.
Mud fell from the gaps.
The thick metal wall stopped in mid-air, and the outer armor cracked open on its own, revealing the compartments inside.
Everyone's eyes fell into the innermost part.
A woman is lying on the bed, breathing steadily.
Steve took a few steps closer.
"Is she still alive?"
"Live well."
Natasha observed Ajak's limbs and neck.
"No bonds, no wounds."
"She doesn't need restraints."
Lucian stretched out his hand, and Mental Power scanned Ajak's brain.
"I have hypnotized her, and all your questions will be answered by her.
Mental Power fell.
The woman's eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes. Her body was still lying on the bed, and her consciousness had been dragged into a blank area.
Lucian stood in front of her.
"Answer the following questions according to your heart."
Ajak sat up.
"Yes."
Fury stared at her, trying to judge her status from her expression and breathing.
Ajak's eyes were unfocused, but his answers were too clear.
Lucian opening:
"The first question is your identity."
"I am the leader of the Eternals group sent to Earth by Celestials."
"Second question, what tasks has Celestials given you?"
"Clear Deviants on the earth and protect mankind."
Tony raised his hand.
"Deviants? What exactly does it mean?"
Ajak's eyes turned to him.
"A failure that will destroy human reproduction and affect the conception of the gods."
Tony's hand stopped in mid-air.
Lucian gave him no chance to interrupt.
"What will happen when enough intelligent life develops?"
Ajak answered:
"The new-born gods will break out of the earth and turn the life on the surface into nutrients."
Banner's expression changed.
"Nutrition?"
"The gods need to absorb the life energy of intelligent life to complete their birth."
No one is kidding this time.
Lucian continues to ask:
"Since large-scale wars will lead to a large number of human deaths, why don't you stop it?"
"Celestials requires us not to interfere in human war and development with force."
"Where were you when New York invaded?"
"We cannot interfere in humanity's own war, and we have not received orders from Celestials."
Fury stared at Ajak.
"You are watching humans die?"
Ajak did not respond emotionally and only repeated his own answer:
"We cannot interfere."
End of four questions.
Fury is still observing Ajak.
He believed half of it.
The remaining part may be the answer implanted by Lucian in advance, or it may be the truth.
Hawkeye said, "Why don't you let her wake up and let us torture her?"
Lucian didn't answer, and only looked back at Ajak.
"What's in your body?"
Ajak's eyes suddenly focused briefly.
"Celestials's communication light ball."
Ajak continued:
"It allows me to have a spiritual connection with Celestials and convey information to Arishem."
The implication is that once she wakes up and realizes that she is being imprisoned and interrogated, Celestials Arishem will immediately know everything that happened on the earth.
Tony Looking at this scene that was comparable to a science fiction movie, out-of-the-box thinking took over again.
He pointed at Ajak, then looked back at Lucian: "So, the two assistants you brought back were also hypnotized by you like this?"
Lucian turned his head without blushing or heartbeat.
"That's not true."
"Isn't it often like this in movies? Those talented scientists are forced to build weapons for themselves, but the scientists always leave a backdoor, and finally use this backdoor to complete the counterattack."
"But I have always been sincere."
He spread his hands and looked sincere.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to my hometown and ask about my reputation."
Natasha caught the key words in his words, and a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
"Where is your hometown?"
Lucian grinned.
"New York!"
