Major organizations acted swiftly.
It was not that the leaders of these organizations were particularly responsible; the most important reason was the principle of mutual dependence. If the scenes shown in the video were indeed real events, did it mean that those creatures, resembling demons, were frantically invading Earth for some reason?
Did they come from the legendary Hell? Why did they suddenly appear on Earth?
How powerful were these demons? Could conventional weapons destroy them? Would the demons, after slaughtering the entire leadership of Greenland, start spreading to Denmark or set their sights on the entire Earth?
Who could say for sure?
If these demons were very powerful and conventional weapons could not destroy them, and if they began spreading across the world, it would mean that sooner or later they would target every country, and no one could escape.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that all major organizations, governments, consortia, and wealthy individuals were in a hurry.
Especially in capitalist countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, the real decision-makers are not the presidents or prime ministers, but the interest groups behind them. These people are the real elites in the world.
When their lives are threatened, they act faster than anyone and release terrifying energy.
The entire world began to be shaken by the videos circulating online.
As one of the world's top intelligence agencies, S.H.I.E.L.D. reacted exceptionally quickly. At the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Fury immediately received a report from the intelligence department of the Danish branch of S.H.I.E.L.D.
They also sent a new video.
This video was clearer, longer, and revealed more information than the one circulating online.
In the intelligence department's control center, numerous agents typed on keyboards with serious expressions, occasionally communicating through headsets.
In front of dozens of large screens, Nick Fury watched the video sent from the Danish branch.
The video was filled with screams and the roars of demons.
Everything seemed to plunge into darkness, with a gloomy tone pervading the heavens and the earth. The once elegant environment of Greenland Island was destroyed, its inhabitants fleeing in all directions like prey, evading the demons playing in the sky.
The scene was tragic, causing many in the control center to show discomfort.
Fury, however, remained expressionless. As he noticed the video progressing, showing the demons emerging from a storm of scarlet and eerie purple lightning, he realized that these creatures definitely came from another place, not Earth.
The storm and the crimson sky indicated a portal, an entry point for the demons, which was expanding over time as more demons emerged.
"Issue the highest red alert, and order all global branches to gear up and heavily surround Greenland Island," Fury commanded.
A female agent immediately nodded, turned, and relayed the orders to the communication agents.
At this moment, an elderly man in a suit approached Fury, looking at the screen with a serious expression: "Is this what you wanted me to see?"
"I need your support," Fury responded without turning his head. "This crisis threatens the entire world and will change our understanding. We cannot afford to be arrogant."
"And I believe no one will be arrogant in the face of such an unknown threat."
"I will contact the members of the international council and present this information to them," the old man said, pausing. "But if..."
Fury understood the unspoken message and remained silent.
The old man smiled slightly, unfazed, and turned to leave to carry out his task.
Fury took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Professor, I need your help."
"I will clear the way, but I need you to get to Greenland Island as quickly as possible. I don't need you to fight the demons; our advance troops and military will secure the area until international forces arrive to contain the threat."
"I need you to find out what these things are and why they are on Earth. I need a solution."
The person on the other end was silent, but the sound of a plane taking off could be heard. Then a voice said, "We are on our way."
The call ended.
"Hill, recall all agents on active missions. Natasha, Barton, and Coulson do not need to return to headquarters; send them directly to Greenland Island."
"Yes, sir."
Hill responded loudly.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions triggered other organizations to move swiftly. Nick Fury knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. alone could not suppress this crisis, and even if they could, the losses would be immense. It was better to bring everything to light.
They quickly shared the intelligence with the United States and other governments worldwide.
After receiving S.H.I.E.L.D.'s detailed report, countries understood the severity of the crisis, which might threaten the entire world.
Thus, world leaders quickly convened a meeting. Due to the urgency, they held an unprecedented video conference involving over a hundred countries.
However, most countries were mere followers; the real decision-makers were the major powers with military capabilities.
This time, the world reached a consensus and decided to deploy military forces.
This marked the first time in history that the world cooperated fully.
