"I hope so." The Red Queen said stiffly as she felt the source of energy that was spreading from the void.
After all, once this energy source leaked out from the void ... the entire New York would be buried with it!
At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base on the outskirts of the city was being evacuated in large numbers, while the lab where the Tesseract was located was quiet.
The crowd was in disbelief as agents pointed their guns at the space portal that had just disappeared.
An eerie man of about the same skin color as Director Fury braced himself from the ground, a grimace flickering across his face.
Eyes filled with alarm at the unusual spatial fluctuation, the same culprit that had left Loki in such a sorry state!
But he had no idea who was behind it! Or perhaps using the Tesseract for long-distance teleportation itself had an uncontrollable factor!
Thinking of the female voice that resounded in the sky when he was controlling the Destroyer to wreak havoc on Earth earlier, Loki couldn't help but feel terrified in his heart.
Loki in the time and space slowdown state did not know, he only thought that the other party in a flash will be disabled "invincible" Destroyer! It was then that the Destroyer stopped obeying orders and was finally crushed by the hammer of his dear brother, Thor!
"Sir, could you put down your spear?"
Only Fury's voice rang out in the large laboratory, and Loki snapped back to his senses, his face growing fierce as he felt the extremely unstable injuries within him!
"I mean, don't you need a suit right now?"
Loki's face stiffened, after transmitting through the unstable spatial channel, himself didn't suffer too much damage because of his godly body, while this ordinary godly domain clothes, could be subjected to bloody bad luck.
The corner of the mouth that grinned out a smile, black long face only teeth snow white, Fury also in the heart of the slander, the world why there will be such a black person?
"Buzz ~ Boom!"
Hawkeye was the first to notice Loki's intention to attack, rolled over and pounced then crushed Director Fury underneath, while that weird blue light destroyed the large steel instruments behind the two in an instant!
The agents reacted by pulling the triggers in their hands, and the bullets all struck Loki without missing a single shot!
Loki's right hand spun, and the "short spear" was used as a spellcasting weapon, the blue light shot out from the tip, striking the person and instantly reducing them to nothingness!
Hawkeye rolls to the side as he overwhelms Fury and fires a large caliber pistol at Loki!
Thanks to years of bow and arrow practice, Hawkeye's casual shot accurately hits Loki in the face!
As a result, Loki just slightly flicked his head, so that the power dissipated into thin air!
With the combination of physical strength and the "short spear", in just tens of seconds, the agents in the field were dead and wounded, except for a few, the rest did not have the strength to fight again.
Loki flashed to Hawkeye's side, the top agent just wanted to counterattack, but Loki held his wrist!
The power of God's body is far from being able to fight against a human like Hawkeye, Loki didn't even have to use his power to suppress Hawkeye to death!
The wrist was twisted 360 degrees, Hawkeye half bowed backward to ease the pain in his wrist, but the grimace on his face clearly revealed the degree of resistance of this top agent.
Loki locked eyes with Hawkeye and smiled broadly, "You're a man with heart."
Hawkeye was still in a daze as Loki raised the scepter of the mind, which Fury called a "short spear", and pointed it at Barton's chest!
The blue energy source contains a small amount of "black sand," which quickly infiltrates Barton's nervous system as it surges through his body!
An eerie blue light shines from his neck, gradually rising to his face and disappearing as his pupils turn black.
The blackness within the pupils retreated, and those eyes turned the same color as the Tesseract energy.
After seeing Patton insert his gun into his holster, Loki had a surprised smile on his face and turned around to start injecting this strange energy into the other researchers as well!
Fury, who was half crouching on the ground, was filled with incredulity, but after seeing all the strangeness, he only froze for a second or two before reacting, and while Loki was controlling the others.
While Loki was controlling the others, Fury quickly took the Tesseract from the instrument and put it into a special case.
A large amount of energy was released, the instrument was burned, and the heat also affected the Tesseract, Fury was now very glad that he always wore the big black gloves on every mission.
This is not ... finally come in handy?
"Click~"
The silver and white suitcase unlocked itself after being pressed down, and Fury tried not to make a sound as he lifted it up and tried to get the hell out of there!
"Put it down."
The only sound in the large, empty lab, besides the sound of the violent energy fluctuations reacting, was Loki's light, shallow reminder.
Fury turned around without a single expression on his face, and even Loki couldn't guess what was going through his mind at that moment.
"I still need him." Loki said seriously.
"There's no need to make a mess of things."
"It was necessary. I came all the way out here for that thing."
"My name is Loki, and I come from Asgard, the realm of the gods."
"Loki?" Dr. Shavig, who was tending to the injured next to him, stood up and stared at Loki, "Thor's brother?"
Loki gave him a cold look while Fury spoke up at that moment, "There is no grudge between our communities is there?"
The smile on Loki's face remained unchanged, his eyes sweeping around every now and then, unconcerned, "Boots don't have a grudge against ants either."
"So ... You're trying to stomp us to death?"
"No, no, no." Loki shook his head back and forth, "I bring you the gospel, deliverance from this world."
"Deliverance how?" Fury asked.
"Deliverance from freedom." Loki affirmed, "Freedom is the biggest lie in the world, and when you accept that from the inside ..."
Loki suddenly turned around and clicked his mind scepter on Dr. Shavig's chest!
And as if Dr. Shavig was mildly electrocuted that way, his slightly chubby body trembled for a moment before his pupils first converted to black and finally shifted to an ethereal blue, just like Barton's.
"And you will have peace in your heart."
"You say 'peace' on your lips, but I think you're trying to say the opposite."
Barton, who had been standing still and not moving, however, took a look into the energy source and walked quickly to Loki's side, "Sir, he's just stalling. This place is about to explode and we'll be buried in rubble dozens of meters down."
Across from him Fury narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone bland, "Just like those Pharaohs of old."
"He's right!" Dr. Shavig, who had just gotten the information from his instruments, turned around, "The energy mass is getting more and more frenzied, and that portal has collapsed space inward, two minutes from the tipping point."
"Okay." Loki raised an eyebrow.
Barton raised his pistol in perfect synchronicity and the bullet instantly struck Fury in the shoulder!
The power of a large caliber pistol at close range was too much for even a top agent like Fury.
Painful looks flashed across his face, and his entire body leaned backward and fell to the ground!
Loki and his party got the suitcase, and then peeled off the black coat on Fury, and then quickly left the scene, and only some broken machines, as well as pieces of corpses, remained inside the large laboratory.
...
With Fury and Hill in double pursuit, Hill gets stuck in the rubble, and the helicopter Fury was traveling in gets its propeller blown out by a shot of spectral blue energy from Loki!
A prelude to war, and so it begins.
Madoka reclined in her recliner and said absently, "You're a pretty good storyteller~ But why don't you just play me the video?"
"There are a lot of things in it that I'm curious about, like why did Loki turn black?"
The Red Queen huffed, "It's possible that he had some indescribable accidents while passing through the space passage, right?"
"Is that so?" Madsan remembered the passageway he had constructed and let out a "tsk", not saying anything.
Eyes looked to the virtual screen that was in mid-air, energy monitoring response appeared on it, the piece of building originally belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D. had become history, and now it wasn't even a ruin.
After the double crushing of the spatial and temporal collapse and the violent energy mass, the building and the whole piece of land were concave, forming a huge "meteorite crater!"
"What is Fury doing now?"
"In contact with several members of the Council of Safety."
"Picking up their conversation."
"Yes, Master."
"Bare with me~" a large amount of code flashed from the screen, but unfortunately, there were no cameras in that small house, and Madoka could not see what kind of scene was inside, so she could only close her eyes and rely on her imagination to depict Fury's dead face, which was bland to the core.
"This is going a little too far, Chief. You're trying to utilize powers that you simply can't control."
The middle-aged man's voice rang out, causing Maniac Three to frown, followed by Fury's sideways retort, "Have you ever been to war, Mr. Councilman? With real bullets?"
"You mean the kind you can control absolutely?"
Without waiting for Fury to answer, another councilor spoke up, "Is Asgard going to war with our planet?"
"It's not Asgard, it's Loki." Fury shook his head.
"Surely he's not the only one, what about the other one?" The only other councilwoman asked as she recorded things, "What about his brother?"
"According to the intel, he's not our enemy, except that the distance difference is too great for us to expect him to come to our aid." Fury raised an eyebrow, "That's something we can only rely on ourselves."
"So that's why you're working full time on phase two?" The male councilor's voice rang out again, "It's exactly what it's designed to counter ..."
As if he was uncomfortable with this one, Fury didn't wait for the other party to finish before retorting, "The second phase is not yet complete, and the enemy is already in force, we need to respond to the program."
"The Avengers program has been halted."
"I'm not talking about the Avengers." Fury's expression was bland, not taking that statement to heart at all.
The middle-aged man's voice sounded again, aggressively saying, "I've seen that list, you have the most elite agent organization in the world, why do you still want to put the fate of mankind in the hands of those freaks?"
"Especially both Banner and Brooks, both are uncontrollable factors. You should know how much it would affect the situation if Banner lost control, or if Brooks had an accident. And Brooks she ... has too many secrets of her own, for example, to this day we can't tell how she lifted that strange hammer."
"The fate of humanity will not be in anyone's hands, but we do need an emergency squad. They may be aloof and disagreeable in their own ways, but with the right guidance, those are exactly what we need right now."
"Are you sure? Emotions don't win wars, Chief."
"Yes, wars are fought down by soldiers."
"And, about Brooks, she lived at Phil Manor for a while."
"Phil Manor?" The councilor wondered, "The neighborhood that was infected by the virus?"
"Yes." Fury nodded, "We're guessing that something may have changed within her body, like those 'survivors' once were."
The councilman fell silent, "I've read the reports, and the woman ended up dead."
"Unfortunately, genetically we were still unable to break through, she was given some strange abilities but lived in pain every day. In the end ..."
"Investigate Brooks properly while you're at it, if nothing else, the power of the 'Nightmare' really can't be underestimated."
...
With a wave of his hand in the air, the virtual screen disappeared into thin air, aiming at the progressively more proportioned Black Meow, "Next, they're going to go after those 'freaks' one by one, aren't they?"
"Master, I have to remind you that you are one of those 'freaks'."
Madsan didn't care, and as he looked out the window, he realized that Tony, that tart, had just landed from the top floor of Stark, and the 'Mark' was being peeled off of him bit by bit by a robotic arm.
"His building, except for the odd shape, the other is not unacceptable, like that clean reactor on the ground floor, dare to play like that in New York, I guess he's the only one."
"Master, S.H.I.E.L.D. just invaded the Stark Mansion's system."
"They were able to hack into it?" Madsan raised an eyebrow.
"The Stark Tower lost power just now, and Jarvis' side was delayed for a while by a massive spam data attack."
"And then?"
"Now Coulson's gone in."
"Looks like he should be trying to get Stark to join the Avengers." Madsen turned his head, "How about having Andre give him a call?"
"I think that's a good idea."
...
The night was a few moments deeper, and while Madoka was struggling with the creme brulee on the table, Black Meow was keeping a close eye on the tiny spoon, and the Red Queen was in the air with a quick glance at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal data.
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong?"
"Master, Coulson has submitted an appointment for a visit."
"What time is it?"
"20:08 New York time."
Madoka blinked and licked the remaining cream from the corner of her mouth, "He's pretty fast then."
"According to the records, Coulson arrived in a helicopter after dropping Ms. Boz off at the airport."
"Looks like they were in a hurry."
"Yes. The previous death of the last female within the 'Survivor' codename has left them short of high-end combat power within the Bureau, and now even K-3652 is being collected and cultivated."
"k-3652?" When Madoka thought of the girl who had been created with the Moshi template, her face darkened and the way she looked at the Red Queen became very "friendly."
Seeing this, the Red Queen panicked, "Master, Coulson has already applied 16 times!"
