As the only native guardian on Earth, the Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One, was classified as top secret by SHIELD long ago.
To be precise, the first time she appeared and took away the little girl who had awakened the elemental magic power, the video footage was captured by satellites and nearby undamaged cameras.
Later, after confirmation by the powerful monk Balthazar and Zuo Si himself, Nick Fury listed him as the last trump card that could protect the earth at critical moments like Captain Marvel, and even wanted to develop him into a member of the Avengers.
It's a pity that the Sorcerer Supreme was not interested in the olive branch thrown by SHIELD, and was too lazy to even respond, so in the end, it ended up in nothing.
Of course, Director Lu Dan did not realize how big the gap was between Captain Marvel and Ancient One.
Because in his eyes, these two people possessed unimaginable power.
Just like when two people take the same exam and get 100 points, some people get it because they have exerted their best efforts, while others get it because they only got 100 points out of the full score.
If the two were allowed to fight, Carol Danvers would probably die at the hands of the Sorcerer Supreme without even knowing what was happening.
Even without using the Time Gem in the Eye of Agamotto, the latter has too many means and methods to manipulate the former at will.
As one of the insiders, Coulson does not know much about Ancient One, except that he is the leader of the largest group of magic users on Earth, and at the same time ensures that human society is not invaded by malicious dimensional demons and various monsters. To a large extent, he is his ally.
It's just that the other party has existed longer, has a longer history, and is more experienced, and seems to look down on SHIELD, which knows almost nothing about magic.
He had no idea why this ancient being with great power suddenly came to him instead of the new director Maria Hill or the top leaders of the Human Rights League formed by the reorganization of the Security Council.
After all, whether it is contact or cooperation, the latter holds the final say.
As for Coulson himself, he is just a high-level agent within the huge organization of SHIELD
Especially after Nick Fury fell from power, he no longer had a reliable backer to back him up no matter what he did as before, and many sensitive matters had to be handled with caution.
So after hesitating for a moment, he quickly reported the news via the wireless network and obtained authorization from Director Maria Hill.
About a few minutes later, Coulson nervously led a few of his men through the portal and arrived at the magic holy land of Kamar-Taj.
Looking at the quaint buildings and magnificent scenery around them, he and his entourage immediately took out their mobile phones and tried to use satellites to locate the place, but found that they could not connect at all. Instead, they searched for a strange wifi signal.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, obviously confused by this strange situation.
After all, in their stereotype, mages should be a group of mysterious and conservative guys who disdain to use modern electronic technology products. Instead, they spend all day in a room full of ancient books reading or doing some strange experiments.
But this place is completely different from what they know.
Not only can you see elderly people wearing wireless headphones and listening to chanting scriptures and meditating, you can also see young boys and girls sitting in the corner playing with their mobile phones and laptops and watching funny short videos.
Some people who act like teachers will even film the apprentices performing the spells, and then point out their mistakes through playback and correct them.
There is no doubt that they have not only kept up with the pace of technological development, but also are at the forefront of the times.
Moreover, the attire is not uniform; many young people are seen wearing casual clothes, tight pants and sneakers. There is even an area dedicated to express deliveries at the entrance. The mountains of parcels indicate that people here frequently shop online.
There are so many flaws in this fusion of simplicity and modernity, magic and technology that I don't know where to start.
Ancient One obviously noticed the surprised expressions on the faces of these SHIELD agents, and couldn't help but laugh and tease, "You don't think Kamar-Taj is like a temple, with everyone living a boring life, do you?
We are also human beings, and we have various kinds of entertainment, consumption and the pursuit of a better life.
So please put aside your prejudices and just treat this as an ordinary boarding school.
Because most of the apprentices are just here to learn magic, and after mastering a certain amount of knowledge and power, they will leave to do what they want to do.
Only when a major situation occurs will they gather together at the call of the Supreme Sorcerer to fight against powerful enemies together."
"Ordinary boarding schools don't teach dangerous things like magic..."
A female agent stared at the apprentices not far away who were learning to draw circles to open portals and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
After all, the portal of Kamar-Taj actually uses energy to cut through space, so there are often sparks flying at the edges of the portal.
Moreover, once many unstable portals are suddenly closed, any objects caught in the middle will be immediately cut in half, which is scary just to look at.
However, with his excellent professional qualities, Coulson realized that it was actually a rare good thing for these wizards to integrate into modern society.
At least they don't have much difference in thoughts and values from ordinary people, so it will be easier to communicate and cooperate with them in the future.
In this way, led by the Supreme Sorcerer, the group soon arrived at a place that looked like an attic.
From here you can look down and see a small courtyard.
At this moment, more than thirty people, ranging in age from children around ten to adults in their thirties and forties, were gathered together, working in pairs and releasing magic that was completely different from that of the Kamar-Taj wizards.
One of the little girls simply raised her hands and made a gesture of raising them high. A giant made of solid rock several meters high rose from the ground, swung his arms and smashed down on the boy who was close to him.
But the latter did not show any panic. Instead, he took out a handful of seeds from his pocket and scattered them around.
In a flash!
Huge vines grew out of the soil at an extremely fast speed, just like a scene in a fairy tale, and quickly wrapped around the stone man.
The two sides continued to wrestle around a small area, and it seemed that neither could do anything to the other.
Not far away, there was a young man in his early twenties releasing some kind of dark purple energy, which collided with the black energy controlled by a sixteen-year-old girl, emitting a dazzling light.
A high-ranking agent obviously noticed something and immediately came closer to Coulson and said, "Sir, these people are all missing persons on the list. Their common feature is that they suddenly awakened their magical powers and were taken away by people sent by Kamar-Taj."
"Well, I've recognized quite a few of them."
Coulson slightly slightly and glanced at Ancient One out of the corner of his eye, not quite understanding why the other party suddenly brought him to see this.
After all, in the eyes of SHIELD, these people are already part of Kamar-Taj, the largest group of spellcasters on Earth.
This identity alone is enough to ensure that they will not be harassed or troubled by any official harassment or difficulties even when they return to society in the future.
"What do you think of them?"
Gu Yi suddenly asked out of the blue.
"What?"
Coulson blinked in confusion.
Ancient One patiently explained: "I am referring to the talent and power they have demonstrated in magic."
"Very good, fully qualified to be a member of the Avengers."
Coulson spoke out his truest thoughts without hesitation.
Because the magic of anyone here is far superior to Hawkeye, Black Widow and Captain America in terms of destructive power and lethality. The only thing they lack may be combat experience.
"If I hand them over to you, what will you do with them?"
After going around in circles for a long time, Gu Yi finally revealed his real purpose.
Obviously, she no longer wanted to keep these spellcasters who did not belong to Kamar-Taj, and she did not want them to be involved in the disputes after her death.
Not long ago, she discovered that her good disciple Mordo had begun to secretly try to influence and win over those ignorant teenagers, and his actions were exactly the same as Casillas's.
If this continues, it will inevitably cause a severe turmoil within Kamar-Taj.
“Leave it to me?!”
Coulson was stunned for a moment, his face full of shock and disbelief.
You have to know that these are dozens of powerful spellcasters who can be used as combat force. They are countless times more powerful than those apprentices trained in SHIELD's crash course. I guess the top leaders of the Human League would laugh in their dreams when they heard the news.
Gu Yi nodded slightly: "Yes.
Because many of them have parents, children, relatives and friends, so they don't belong here at all.
The main reason why I brought them back before was to let them learn, adapt and understand the magical powers they possessed, so as not to lose themselves in the face of the power they suddenly gained.
Now these people have regained their self-awareness and can use their power calmly without losing control.
Of course, how to do it specifically still requires personal opinion.
In short, how to reintegrate them into society is entirely up to you.”
"Please rest assured, I promise in the name of SHIELD that we will fully respect everyone's right to choose, and there will never be any threats or coercion."
Coulson hurriedly gave a solemn promise.
After all, this matter is definitely a huge surprise no matter from which angle you look at it.
Moreover, if I could take this opportunity to establish a stable relationship with the Supreme Sorcerer, I could ask him for advice when I encounter problems related to magic and supernatural powers in the future.
But Ancient One corrected him with a serious expression: "I said to hand them over to you, not the representatives of SHIELD or the Human Alliance. Because I trust you, not them."
"Um...I don't quite understand what you mean."
A lot of sweat instantly appeared on Coulson's forehead, and his muscles were tense with tension.
After all, he is an "honest man", and he is a completely different type of person from Nick Fury, who likes to have three burrows, embezzle public funds from time to time, and play tricks on his superiors to establish checks and balances.
If it were the latter, he would probably swallow up these powerful spellcasters and then set up some secret commando team from scratch.
Anyway, you won't worry if you have too many debts, and you won't feel itchy if you have too many lice
Judging from Chief Lu Dan's usual style of doing things, just picking out a few of them would be enough to keep him in prison for the rest of his life, so one more thing wouldn't hurt.
Coulson just wanted to do his job well and didn't dare to take on this hot potato.
"Are you scared? Don't worry, I will give you the authorization of Kamar-Taj and will not let you embarrass yourself in front of your superiors."
Gu Yi obviously knew what this middle-aged man was afraid of.
To be precise, when she made this decision, she used the Time Stone to look at all the possibilities in the future and knew what to do to minimize the danger.
If SHIELD takes over, these people will definitely be targeted by Hydra in the future.
In order to avoid similar situations, the best solution is to authorize someone you trust.
In this way, in the eyes of the outside world, this group of people is equivalent to being protected by the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, and even if someone wants to attack them, they have to consider the consequences.
By the same token, Mordo would also be wary of SHIELD and the Human Alliance and would not dare to continue to contact them, thus forming a delicate balance of mutual deterrence.
As for Zuo Si...
Ancient One didn't think that a dimensional demon who collected evil souls would care about the lives of these people, just as Dormammu didn't care about the lives of Kaecilius and his followers.
So after a simple process of elimination, she locked in Coulson, the most responsible and moral person, to be her agent.
"You mean I should come forward and arrange for these people for you?"
Coulson obviously understood what the Sorcerer Supreme wanted to express, and his original nervousness was instantly swept away.
Ancient One smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean. And as long as they are willing, it doesn't matter whether you recruit them into the Avengers or hire them to work for SHIELD"
Just when Coulson wanted to ask the other party for the wifi password here and then consult Director Maria Hill, he suddenly saw that the sky above his head suddenly darkened.
The next second...
boom!!!!!!!!
A blinding red lightning bolt fell from the sky, and a creature covered in huge eyes was kicked out from the crack in the sky and fell on an empty playground at an extremely fast speed.
The extremely terrifying impact force instantly caused a violent earthquake, and many surrounding walls and houses collapsed in an instant.
Before the SHIELD agents could figure out what was happening, a tiny voice jumped out from the crack and transformed into a huge circular magic circle that smashed down like a mountain.
Bang! With indescribable bloodiness and cruelty, half of the monster with huge eyes turned into meat paste on the spot.
When the splattered blood, flesh, sand, gravel and dust completely dissipated, they could finally see clearly that the person who committed such a shocking act was actually a cute little girl in a purple dress. Moreover, this girl had an innocent and happy smile on her face, which was completely inconsistent with the brutal behavior she had committed.
What's even more outrageous is that such a tiny creature can easily drag a behemoth weighing tens of tons. The look in its eyes and expression is as if it has just caught an interesting little animal or bug, rather than a hideous and terrifying monster.
"Annie, how many times have I told you not to run around in other dimensions or pocket universes. You should know that although your power is very strong, it is still too immature compared to those cunning dimensional demons." Ancient One held his forehead and scolded in a helpless tone.
It goes without saying that this little thing is Zuo Si's daughter, Annie, who is temporarily fostered in Kamar-Taj.
As a typical energetic and daring kid, after learning all the magic here, she used the knowledge she learned to travel through different dimensions and pocket universes in this universe, and she especially liked hunting those interesting monsters.
From the appearance of this light, it is easy to judge that it should be related to the Chaos Lord, Shuma Goras. Perhaps it is just a tiny part of this dimensional demon.
"Don't worry, Sensei. If I can't defeat them, I will just flee to my father's dark dimension, and then they won't be able to do anything to me."
Little Annie looked completely fearless. She used her quasi-divine power to twist the monster with the power of the dark void, and then made it into a hideous-looking emblem and wore it on herself as an ornament.
If you look closely, you'll find that her body is covered with at least twenty or thirty of these creepy little gadgets.
This shows what she has been doing during this period of time.
Coulson obviously knew little Annie, so he immediately bent down and smiled and greeted her, "Good day, Your Highness, I didn't know you were still on Earth."
"Who are you......"
Little Annie raised her head and looked up and down at the middle-aged man whose hair was almost falling out with a slightly puzzled look. It was obvious that she had no recollection of having met him before.
After all, generally speaking, she would only remember those who were powerful enough, or those who had provided her with fun and delicious food.
Unfortunately, Coulson had nothing to do with either of these things, and the two had only met briefly and had never spoken a word to each other.
"My name is Phil Coulson. I'm an agent of SHIELD, and I've had contact with your father, Lord Soth."
Coulson quickly gave a brief and concise self-introduction.
From the Avengers and Loki, he already knew how terrifying this little ancestor in front of him was, so he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
After all, naughty kids like this who possess powerful strength are the most terrifying.
You never know when he might suddenly get unhappy and blow up the earth beneath your feet, so you must try your best to coax him.
For example, when the Chitauri invaded, SHIELD secretly deleted all the backups of the zero-dollar purchases captured by surveillance cameras to ensure that they would never be discovered by the outside world.
"Eh—what is this?"
Little Annie's eyes were immediately attracted by the gun on the other party's waist. It took her less than 0.1 second to open the portal and take the silver pistol-shaped energy weapon from Coulson's waist.
By the time the latter reacted, she had already begun to modify it according to her own ideas.
In the blink of an eye, the silver pistol that was originally full of industrial beauty turned into a small pink cartoon-style toy, at least that's what it looked like on the surface.
Seeing his beloved pistol become like this, Coulson's heart bleeds, but he has no way to get it back. He can only look at the Sorcerer Supreme helplessly, as if saying "Don't you want to do something about it?"
Just as Ancient One was about to speak, a dazzling green light instantly enveloped the entire Kamar-Taj, followed by a huge dragon with several heads swooping down from the top of the snow-capped mountain, exuding a terrifying aura.
But before it could run far, the dragon slowly landed in the empty square, and one of its heads raised its head and let out a deafening roar.
moment!
Everyone's knees began to become weak, and they fell to their knees uncontrollably, trembling.
Amid the roar, all creatures within the range of the green light seemed to see fragments of the past and the future. A huge hourglass-shaped pattern slowly emerged on all the scales, and the originally golden scales also emitted a faint green light.
Less than a minute later, the multi-headed dragon transformed into a human form, which was Zuo Si himself.
The green light enveloping Kamar-Taj is the power of the Time Stone in the Eye of Agamotto in his hand.
Needless to say, he successfully used the Time Stone to completely merge the sundial, time crystal and bone hourglass with his Azeroth bronze dragon's head.
At the same time, like Captain Marvel, she also has a close connection with the Infinity Stones themselves.
Combined with the power of the Dimension Demon that transcends time, Zuo Si has now undoubtedly surpassed the legendary dragon species Time Dragon and can truly control time and even surpass it.
You should know that the so-called infinite gems are essentially a kind of authority.
Whoever gets it can use it in the current universe.
This is why once they encounter a being with higher authority, the power of the Infinity Stones will be immediately deprived or become ineffective.
So it is not like what many people imagine, that the gem itself contains infinite power, its essence is closer to a controller.
Feeling the power of time flowing through his body and soul, Zuo Si flew directly to the attic and returned the Eye of Agamotto and the Time Gem inside to the Sorcerer Supreme.
"Thank you. I feel much better now."
"Are you sure you don't want to take it for yourself?" Gu Yi asked with a smile.
"No, it's not the right time yet. Besides, even without the power of the Infinity Stones, I can still control time."
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and suddenly released a green magic circle. Immediately afterwards, the ancient clock placed on the table began to reverse at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, it changed from a "battle-damaged version" to its brand new appearance when it was first produced.
Gu Yi was slightly surprised, and immediately realized what this meant. He raised his hand to feel the remaining time power around the clock, and exclaimed in disbelief: "It's a permanent time reversal effect? It seems that you have really mastered the power of time. It's unbelievable."
"It's no big deal. Have you forgotten that I originally possessed a very powerful time power, and I also obtained some treasures related to time. Finally, with the stimulation of the Infinity Stones, it will naturally produce a strong enough resonance."
Zuo Si was undoubtedly not surprised by this result.
After all, according to the original plan, he intended to kill the Burning Legion and Sargeras in the Azeroth universe, and swallow all the Titan star souls one by one and make them part of his own power.
Especially Aman'thul, the oldest Titan who controls the power of time.
By then, you will naturally be able to obtain enough time power to strengthen this dragon head.
At the moment, the plan is just being implemented a little bit ahead of schedule.
“That’s true…”
Ancient One took the Eye of Agamotto and put it into his wide sleeves.
After all, this thing was the creation of the first Supreme Sorcerer. Apart from its powerful strength, it is also a symbol of the identity of all generations of Supreme Sorcerers.
Even without the Time Stone, it still has huge symbolic significance.
While the two were talking, the SHIELD agents who came from afar were completely confused.
Even a senior agent like Coulson who holds extremely high authority has only seen Zuo Si in his human form, and has no idea that he also has the form of a big devil and a multi-headed dragon.
Especially the double visual and spiritual impact produced by the latter makes people involuntarily think of the image of the Lord of Hell in the Bible.
Some young newcomers who were not mentally strong enough were even scared to the point of wetting their pants.
Zuo Si obviously noticed this situation. He snatched the gun that had been modified beyond all recognition from little Annie's hand and scolded her, "How many times have I told you not to steal other people's things casually? You must pay for anything you like."
"I didn't steal it. I just took it to have a look."
Little Annie pouted and defended herself unconvincedly.
"Bring it here and let us have a look? Have you consulted the owner and obtained his permission?" Zuo Si asked seriously.
Knowing she was in the wrong, little Annie immediately shut her mouth, hung her head and said nothing.
Because she knew that if she continued to act recklessly, she might be locked up in a dark room.
Before she obtained the Planeswalker Spark like her brother, she was not foolish enough to confront her father who held the power of life and death. She ran behind Ancient One and hid.
Zuo Si obviously had no intention of investigating further. He simply handed the cartoon-shaped pink pistol in his hand to Coulson and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. You know, children of this age are more or less rebellious and annoying. It's very difficult to discipline them."
"You are too polite. It is only a pistol. If Your Highness likes to take it, it is fine."
Coulson showed his generous side.
joke!
What else can you do if you are not generous? Besides, such a cute little girl, as long as she doesn't do anything that will anger the heavens and the people, she can basically get the adults' understanding.
After briefly inspecting the small pistol that looked like a plastic toy, Coulson couldn't help but ask, "It still works, right?"
"Of course! But the power may be a little stronger than before, so you'd better be careful."
Zuo Si gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
"A little stronger?!"
Coulson instantly grasped a key word and shuddered subconsciously.
Because he is very sure that the little bit that the other person said is very likely to be very different from the little bit that he understands.
Zuo Si smiled and responded, "You can understand it as, this small pistol will cause the reaction force of a 152mm howitzer when it is fired. As for the power, it can almost instantly trigger a shock wave field that is enough to destroy a building. Just remember not to use it in crowded places."
"Ah? The recoil of a...a 152mm howitzer!"
The corners of Coulson's mouth twitched violently, and his entire face was distorted.
He was now very glad that he had asked.
Otherwise, if you encounter any unexpected situation and need to draw your gun to fight, pulling the trigger once will probably destroy both arms, and your chest may even cave in due to the huge reaction force, killing you on the spot.
Dealing with these extraordinary beings with powerful strength, Coulson himself is like an ant under the feet of a giant, and he will be crushed to death if he is not careful.
And the other party is very likely unintentional.
Danger!
It's too dangerous! Zuo Si reached out and gently patted Coulson on the shoulder and comforted him, "Relax, didn't you just buy a lot of technology? Can't you let SHIELD build you an auxiliary mechanical arm? After all, it won't be long before the whole earth will become lively."
"lively?"
Coulson suddenly raised his head with a very nervous expression.
"right.
You don't think that defeating the Chitauri will lead to a period of peaceful development? Don't be naive!
Whether it is the existence of aliens or the upcoming technological explosion and interstellar colonization era, it will have a huge impact on people's inherent values , world outlook, and existing social systems.
The alien corpses, weapons and equipment, and spacecraft remains scattered everywhere will also trigger a new round of crisis.
Think about it, if one day a group of terrorists wearing ceramic steel power armor and holding energy weapons suddenly rushed out to launch a coup in a small country, or launched an indiscriminate massacre of civilians in densely populated areas, would the pitiful firepower in the hands of the police and ordinary troops really be useful? Everything has two sides.
You can't enjoy the benefits and ignore the negative effects.
Take the Internet, which has only become popular in the past decade or so, as an example. While it has opened the door to the information age, it has also created huge social divisions.
Especially if military technology used in war spills over, the consequences could be much more serious than just the Internet.”
After saying these words full of warning, Zuo Si activated the Planeswalker Spark and disappeared on the spot.
Coulson inadvertently realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately said goodbye to Ancient One and left Kamar-Taj to report the situation to his superiors.
About an hour and a half later, he appeared in the director's office on the upper floor of the headquarters building.
Maria Hill finished reading the report and asked without even looking up, "What do you think should be done with those who possess powerful magical powers? Many of them are underage children."
"I think we should first try to send them back to their families before considering recruiting and hiring them. And it would be best to send someone to protect their families to prevent unexpected tragedies."
Coulson spoke his mind directly.
"Okay, let's do it according to your idea. I'll go and say hello to the Human Union. Since this is our first collaboration with Kamar-Taj and the Sorcerer Supreme, we must do it well."
After that, Maria Hill signed her name on the plan.
After doing all this, she picked up another document from the table next to her and threw it to the former director's most trusted subordinate.
“Here, take it and have a look.
This is at the request of the representatives of the Human Rights League. You will take the lead in forming a special response team to deal with emergencies around the world.
The most important thing is to find out the whereabouts of the scientists who were kidnapped last time and the lost things as soon as possible.
Especially the large amount of antimatter has made many people unable to sleep well.
In addition, the Rising Tide organization, which constantly discloses insider information on the Internet, will also be dealt with.
The hackers' reckless disclosure of insider information has angered many bigwigs."
"What is the authority of this special response team?"
Coulson picked up the document, glanced at it, and asked in an uncertain tone.
Maria Hill responded without hesitation: “It's much bigger than you think.
The bureau will equip you with a super aircraft produced with the latest technology; you can freely mobilize agents below level 6 around the incident site; it is enough to destroy a regiment's weapons and equipment in a short period of time; and you can request the use of orbital weapons when necessary."
"Have the representatives of the People's Union gone crazy?"
Coulson was obviously taken aback by the extent of his authority.
Because it is almost equivalent to the second most powerful person under the director.
"I don't know if they are crazy or not, but I am going crazy anyway.
Because since the attack that shocked the world, many energy weapons and imitation ceramic steel power armors have appeared on the black market.
Please note that the energy weapons I am talking about here are not those small-scale firearms, but real energy cannons.
Just a few hours ago, during a warlord conflict in a certain region of Africa, someone used a powerful energy cannon to flatten a small town. Sixty thousand people were completely vaporized in less than a second, without even a trace of residue left.
This is the picture taken by the satellite, the scene is simply horrific.
In addition, two US military bases in the Middle East were also attacked in a similar way, but the attackers used were rather simple-looking power armors, and the death toll reached about three thousand.
All aircraft, missiles, armored vehicles, helicopters and fuel storage facilities in the base were destroyed.
What's worse is that since all the satellites were shot down at that time, we have no idea where the wreckage of the Chitauri warships that fell from the sky ended up, or who got them."
Maria Hill held her forehead with her hand with a tired look on her face, staring at the world map projected on the desk and the densely packed red dots.
Each red dot represents an attack that urgently needs to be investigated and at least hundreds of deaths.
In addition, there is naturally a list of deaths of field agents.
If there was anyone who was the first to feel the dire consequences of the spillover of alien military technology, it would be SHIELD
"Natasha hasn't found any clues yet?"
After a long silence, Coulson placed his hopes on Black Widow.
Because she was originally recruited into the Avengers because she was considered that her outstanding spy abilities would definitely be needed in the future.
Maria Hill smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No. Because the mastermind behind this is very cautious. He never showed up even when doing business with the arms dealers. The only thing we know now is that these people call him the Baron."
"Baron? Is he a noble from Europe?" Coulson guessed with narrowed eyes.
"I don't know. All the clues that can be traced have been cut off.
Moreover, the number of weapons circulating on the black market has not decreased, but has continued to increase.
In short, quickly assemble your team, we must suppress these attacks on a global scale in a short period of time.
Even if we can't solve the root cause of the problem, at least we need to make sure it doesn't happen as often as it does now."
After that, Maria Hill waved her hand to signal Coulson that he could leave, and she began to read through the massive mission reports and then formulate a corresponding action plan.
This is not an easy job.
Especially for women who are naturally more emotional.
After all, SHIELD reached its peak under the leadership of Nick Fury.
As the new director, she will inevitably be compared with her predecessor by her subordinates, and one can imagine how much pressure she is under.
But Maria Hill nor Coulson realized that the current situation was caused by Hydra lurking neither within the organization.
No matter how good their plans are, Hydra, the people behind the scenes, are like taking an open-book exam. They already have the correct answers in advance and can just copy them.
It is possible that the person who led the team to carry out the capture mission was actually a member of Hydra.
It would be amazing if we could find out who is behind this.
While SHIELD was in a state of panic, Alexander Pierce, the North American snakehead, had risen step by step to become a hot figure in the Human Alliance.
Right now, he was sitting in his office, tasting red wine while talking to Baron Strucker who was far away in Sokovia, Eastern Europe.
"Is your research going smoothly?"
"Of course! With the intelligence support you provided, both SHIELD and the Avengers are running around like headless flies. And those weapons and equipment have also collected enough data in actual combat. If nothing unexpected happens, the first generation of mature products should be available soon."
"Excellent! As soon as the technology is ready, move Dr. Zora out immediately. We need his wisdom now more than ever."
"Don't worry, a new computer capable of hosting Dr. Zora is already under construction and will enter the testing phase in a month or two at most."
"This is the best news I have heard recently. I believe Dr. Zora will be very excited and thrilled to know that humans can finally leave their home planet and head into the universe."
"Yes. After all, his consciousness will be implanted into every warship as the underlying logic code. Then we only need to awaken these codes, and we will immediately have a powerful space fleet..."
