S. H. I. E. L. D., the building.
After returning to S. H. I. E. L. D., Natasha and Coulson changed their identities once again.
Then, Natasha went to the top floor alone, pushed open the door of the director's office, and walked in. "Director, I'm back."
Fury sat on the black office chair, acting like a big shot with his hands crossed in front of his chest. His one eye was deep and solemn. "Natasha, from the looks of it, the mission should have failed?"
"Yes."
Natasha nodded and then told the contents of her conversation with Lod in full detail.
"Adjuchas?"
After hearing this, Fury revealed a thoughtful expression. One-eye flashed a meaningful look and said,
"It seems that this creature named 'hollow' is far more powerful than we imagined. If we can master this power, we might no longer need to fear death god."
"Do we continue?"
Natasha looked a little complicated and whispered, "Maybe... we shouldn't have touched the unknown field. Is the lesson of this accident not big enough?"
Dozens of top biological research experts died, three elite tactical teams died, and the experimental site of tens of millions of dollars was lost. Even S. H. I. E. L. D. could not bear such a loss.
"The lesson is a lesson, the experiment is an experiment."
Nick Fury leaned back and said in a low voice, "Humans are the only ones protecting humans, so this is a necessary method. Otherwise, how are we going to deal with death god?"
"Why do we have to deal with death god?"
Natasha laughed at herself, "Their duty is to protect humanity, not to destroy humanity."
"Don't get it wrong, Agent Romanov!"
Nick Fury's face was slightly cold. He leaned forward and his one eye shot out an extremely oppressive gaze. He said coldly, "This is not a game between countries, but a game between humans and gods. Do you want to bet the fate of all humanity as a bet to believe a so-called death god?"
There were two sides to things.
For example, from another perspective, although Adjuchas destroyed the laboratory, it also proved from the side how great the potential ability of a creature like 'hollow' was!
At least on Adjuchas, Fury saw a glimmer of hope that could allow S. H. I. E. L. D. to have the power to keep Soul Society in check!
A failure of two times was not terrible. Didn't the birth of an atomic bomb also sacrifice many people?
But what was the result?
The appearance of the first atomic bomb directly contributed to the hegemony of the United States. On the other hand, those countries without atomic bombs could only tremble under the threat of nuclear bombs.
Therefore, Fury firmly believed one thing.
As long as the experiment continued, sooner or later, they would be able to master and control the power of those creatures!
Humans must not rely on their fate and future on the so-called Soul Society and death god. They must have the power to rival them.
Only in this way could humans have the hope to fight to the death and even turn the tide when danger arrived!
"...."
Natasha was speechless. As a agent who had experienced the cold war herself, she understood this thought very well.
It could not be said to be wrong, but it could not be said to be right.
This was a game between humans and gods. From the beginning, the two sides had no basis for mutual trust, and the peaceful scene in front of them was just a short bubble.
But once the bubble broke, what would be waiting for humans?
No one could guarantee that the so-called Soul Society would definitely stand on the side of humans.
Natasha sighed in her heart. In fact, there was one more thing that she had not said: S. H. I. E. L. D. was protecting all of humanity, or perhaps America?
"Alright."
Nick Fury closed his eyes and did not want to continue arguing. He waved his hand and said, "You can leave first, Agent Romanov."
"Yes, Director."
Natasha sighed and took a deep look at Nick Fury. Then, she turned and left the office.
...
Three days passed in a flash.
During this period, Natasha came again and asked Lod if he was willing to send the captain to help them. However, Lod rejected them on the grounds that he had not received a reply.
Thirty-two Gillian and one Adjuchas, such a luxurious lineup could not be underestimated, so before Lod set off, he needed to be fully prepared.
In the past few months, Frank's supply speed was barely able to keep up with Gwen's devouring speed, so the remaining souls in his account did not increase much, but it did not decrease.
Lod glanced at the souls, which were not enough for ten consecutive draws, so he could only set his target on the special store: "System, open the special store."
The goods in the special store would be updated at dawn every month.
The goods that were refreshed in the first two months were either too expensive or completely useless to him. Therefore, he had not consumed them for a long time. It was a good opportunity to take advantage of this trip to see if there was anything that could be used.
"I hope this time you can give me a lot of strength!"
Lod rubbed his hands in anticipation, hoping that this special store could provide a lot of strength!

...
After browsing through all the items, Lod already had a choice in his heart.
First, it was a superior grade Spiritual Power orb, which could greatly increase Spiritual Power's level. It was a good opportunity to make up for his weakness!
Second, it was Wabisuke.
Lod had been eyeing this zanpakuto for a long time, and its ability was quite abnormal.
In short, Wabisuke's ability was to make objects that were cut become heavier and heavier until the target that zanpakuto hit could not bear his weight and fell to the ground.
Just think about it...
What kind of ending would it be for his target after being hacked dozens or hundreds of times by the target?
"Tsk tsk..."
Lod thought about it, the picture was simply too beautiful.
