Chapter 9, Jump! Cosmic Rubik's Cube! (Part 2)
"...Then what? Another more powerful nuclear bomb, bang! Bury us potential threats together with the Cosmic Cube?"
Iron Man Tony. Stark crossed his arms and turned to Nick, Director of SHIELD. Fury rolled his eyes and retorted disdainfully.
"...You should know. I did not order the launch of the nuclear bomb in New York! And I warned you in advance!"
One-eyed black bald Nick. Fury growled lowly, "...otherwise, how could you still be standing here?!"
"...But you couldn't stop the launch of the nuclear bomb! Didn't you? And the nuclear bomb was launched from this floating aircraft carrier! Either you are lying to me! Or you can't even command your own flagship!" Tony was unmoved, "...So, I don't believe a word of what you say!"
"... Regarding this, I believe there will definitely be a suitable explanation in the future, but the most important thing now is to recapture the Cosmic Cube..."
Director SHIELD said helplessly, but even Captain America, who was most obedient to orders, could not accept this explanation at all.
"...take it back? When did the Cosmic Cube become yours on earth? Are you still trying to use it to develop new weapons?"
Thor, the God of Thunder, who was originally just standing aside to watch the two fight, couldn't help but interrupt after hearing this, "...I've said it several times before! It's precisely because of your rough development of the Rubik's Cube that you attracted Loki and his allies. To other planets, this is a signal that you people on earth are ready for advanced war. It is equivalent to a provocative gesture in the arena! Do you still want to fight aliens again? The war?”
"...This is forced! Facing potential enemies from the universe, we must have the power to deal with them." Nick. Fury shouted.
"...But do you really know how to control the Rubik's Cube?" Thor, the God of Thunder, sneered: "...The means you use to develop the energy of the Universe Rubik's Cube lack even the most basic concealment. The ray energy emitted by the Universe Rubik's Cube is spread everywhere. , in the eyes of powerful beings in outer space, your behavior In order to simply make the earth look like a lighthouse in the vast sea of stars, he deliberately lured them to this world! Moreover, the power of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is enough to irreversibly destroy the barrier between space and space, and then destroy the culprit of this world! It’s yourselves!”
"...Don't be alarmist! SHIELD just wants to guard against all potential threats." Nick. Fury explained with an increasingly ugly face.
"...Potential threat? The meaning of this phrase is really subtle!" Captain America Steve. Rogers raised his eyebrows, "...After experiencing the nuclear explosion in Manhattan, I wonder what the threat is in your eyes? Am I also a threat that needs to be guarded against?"
"...In fact, I'm afraid we are all seen as a threat, Captain!" Black Widow Natasha shrugged. Iron Man Tony took up the topic: "...Yes, both the Chitauri and us are pests and threats to them. If there is a way to eliminate all threats and troubles, the world The Security Council will not care about causing some losses, which is why I cannot trust this guy, because some vested interests in this country will not allow even the slightest challenge to their monopoly dominance!"
Faced with such a cruel truth, Captain America Steve still maintains a certain degree of naive ideas and patriotic enthusiasm. Rogers obviously couldn't accept it. And Thor, the God of Thunder, was also deeply annoyed by SHIELD's stubbornness, "...for the potential threat of invisible and intangible aliens, you are going to activate the Cosmic Cube and bring yourself a devastating disaster? I I really can’t understand the way you people on earth think!”
"...Okay, big man, you haven't understood yet! The so-called potential alien threat theory is just an excuse. If we really want to talk about potential threats, the aircraft carrier under our feet is a huge potential threat to mankind. ! ”
Tony stepped on the steel floor under his feet, "...before the alien army appeared, SHIELD's main combat targets were only some supernatural individuals or super villains, and did not involve national-level wars. The ability to deploy quickly was not particularly important. A base flying into the sky is really not of much use in this type of special operations. The armor of the floating aircraft carrier is too fragile. The speed is too slow and the cost is too high. Even thunderstorms or storms may pose a danger to it. It is basically a flying target. By the time it flies to the battlefield, the super criminals will have already stayed away in case something happens. If it falls on the ground, tens of thousands of tons of metal may even cause a local earthquake. In short, it has nothing but style!”
"...But at least it was used this time..." Nick, Director of SHIELD. Fury's explanations became increasingly weak.
"...Yes! Use it to drop nuclear bombs on the heads of us warriors who are fighting the aliens desperately!"
Hawkeye Barton said harshly that during the nuclear explosion in New York, although he managed to hide in a basement at the last moment, he was still not able to completely avoid the flash burns of the nuclear explosion, and he also inhaled and was contaminated with a lot of radiation afterwards. Chen Chen now looks very sluggish and no longer as vigorous as before, "...let all disciplines and regulations go to hell! I need an explanation that satisfies me, otherwise don't let me do anything again!"
"...This is impossible, Agent Patton! The only thing you have to do is obey orders..."
"...I also need an explanation! Why on earth do you refuse to give up the Cosmic Cube! Tell the truth!" Thor, the God of Thunder, became even more annoyed.
"...I can only say that it is for the benefit of all mankind..." Nick. Fury's eyes were so fierce that he wanted to kill someone, but it was of no use.
"...In that case, how about I give him an explanation?" Iron Man Tony glanced at Hawkeye Barton and said calmly: "...The reason is very simple. In Mr. Nick Fury's view, S.H.I.E.L.D. and The World Security Council behind S.H.I.E.L.D., and the governments of the major powers, are the legitimate rulers of this world. They possess powerful force capable of dominating the entire world, and no one can disobey them
<. br>
However, since the aliens from Asgard came to this world, their dreams have been shattered. Let them realize that there are other civilizations outside this world, even more powerful and advanced than them. They felt their dominance was shaken. In order to regain this inexplicable sense of psychological superiority and eliminate or control possible threats, they need more powerful weapons, and the Cosmic Cube just gives them hope of rediscovering this sense of superiority. Naturally, he refused to let go.
Anyway, even if something big happens, it's not them who need to make sacrifices, but some stupid patriots, right?
In fact, the human ruling class's superstition and pursuit of force have never stopped. Only force, force in their hands, can make their power stronger. Even if they push all mankind to a dead end, it must be under their own control! There is no difference between the savior and the devil to them. They are both uncontrollable factors that must be eradicated. That's basically it, right, Mr. Director? ”
"...I can't admit or deny anything now, and I can't guarantee anything. Because SHIELD itself is currently in a state of crisis, no one knows what strategy the World Security Council will take next. Maybe even I will resign or Jailed.”
Nick sighed, "...but at least before ending this invasion brought by Loki, I hope you can continue to use your strength."
"...Actually, it was not Loki who led this invasion. He was just deceived and used as a weapon by a certain force." Tony muttered.
"...Loki was deceived?" Thor turned his head in astonishment, "...how to say?"
"...Haven't you seen it yet? Big man! There are various signs that the Chitauri have obviously not really handed over an army to Loki's control. When the portal becomes no longer stable, whether it is external The star landing craft and infantry all fell to the ground as if the plug had been pulled out. It can be seen that This so-called powerful Chitauri army is not a group of biological soldiers with subjective initiative, but a group of remotely controlled mechanical soldiers. In this war, Loki is not actually controlling them. He is being made a scapegoat, and he doesn’t even know it yet!”
Iron Man Tony talked so eloquently about Thor, but then changed the subject, "...But compared with Loki, how can we people be better? We personally rushed to the battlefield and fought to the death, but I didn’t get any benefits, but I was framed! In fact, in my opinion, the establishment of the so-called Avengers was a scam from the beginning, right?”
"...Mr. Stark! Please retract your baseless and vicious slander!" Nick. An angry look suddenly appeared on Fury's dark face.
"...Shut up! Nick! Who do you think will believe what you say now? There is a reason why I say this! First of all, what is the reason for forming the Avengers? A few years ago, when I first became Iron Man , you proposed this Avengers plan to me for the first time. In order to assemble a group of the most outstanding superheroes in the world to deal with enemies that ordinary humans are not sure to defeat. As for the reason, you, the one-eyed black bald man, seem to have said that he 'still believes in heroes', but the truth is that it is just that. Is that so?
No matter how lofty the goal of SHIELD, in the final analysis it is nothing more than a secret service intelligence department. It is a military organization that brings together the world's most elite soldiers, agents, spies, and killers... with huge financial and technological support and extremely high military command authority. If it were not controlled by the US government and the Security Council from above, then S.H.I.E.L.D. would be the most lethal terrorist organization in the world.
Why should such an intelligence and military group be established, other than to allow vested interests to maintain absolute control over the world forever?
Not only alien super creatures like Thor, but also maverick geniuses like me, even national idols like Captain America, and elite agents working for S.H.I.E.L.D. like Black Widow and Hawkeye are also regarded as "Potential threats" will be eradicated when necessary.
Previously in New York, despite our efforts, the front line could still be maintained, but the World Security Council insisted on launching a nuclear bomb to destroy the entire island of Manhattan, even if it ignored your objections. What is the purpose of doing this? Destroy aliens? Of course, this is one of the purposes. What else? In fact, what they are also eager to destroy are us superheroes, right?
As the rulers of this country and this world, they do not want to see the existence of any powerful force that they cannot control!
The reason for the establishment of the Avengers is already obvious: perhaps Director Fury did have some beautiful ideals at first, but for the rulers, after gathering us extraordinary and powerful people together, we can It is convenient to control, and secondly, if it cannot be controlled, it is also convenient to erase us all at once! In their eyes, alien invaders are enemies worthy of being hated just like us!
Heng Heng, taking the opportunity of the Battle of New York, under the banner of defending the earth and revenge against aliens, we, the so-called "potential threats" and Loki, the real threat, gathered on Manhattan Island at the same time, and they fell into a fierce battle at the same time. It is also the best time for them to eliminate all potential threats that they cannot control and cannot be identified. So, they can easily get past Nick. Fury had the authority to directly issue secret instructions to two fighter planes carrying nuclear bombs. If everything goes well, you will be the next one to be wiped out! Nick. Fury! ”
Iron Man Tony sneered and stretched out his finger, pointing directly at the one-eyed black bald director, "...Mr. Director, now you may not even be able to save yourself, so how can you talk about saving the world? And we have to save ourselves first. , so that you have enough energy to do other things!”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In short, although there are subtle differences in everyone's attitude, the six members of the Avengers have all firmly expressed their non-cooperation attitude.
At the very least, officials cannot pour sewage on their heads and expect to order them to work, and then shoot them from behind.
Although in front of the superheroes, Nick. Fury looked troubled, but after they left, he immediately relaxed.
"...Hill! Have all the statements of these superheroes been recorded? Immediately forward them to the World Security Council and show them! Those guys who always treat others as fools are the biggest in the world. Fool!" He ordered as he sat down on the swivel chair.
"...Understood, sir." Royal Sister Agent Hill nodded, "...So what should we do about the problem of the Universe Rubik's Cube?"
"...The Cosmic Rubik's Cube? Just let it continue to dance for a while! Just keep monitoring. I heard that recently that thing no longer releases aliens. I guess the Qirita people have also given up on this. Is there an invasion? "Nick. Fury shrugged, "...until the World Security Council expresses a clear attitude and assumes its due responsibilities, we at SHIELD will not do anything unnecessary..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In this way, the Rubik's Cube continues to jump, the superheroes are protesting, S.H.I.E.L.D. is slowing down, the World Security Council is pretending to be an ostrich, and the National Guard, which lacks high-tech equipment, is powerless. Only the military sends fighter planes to try to intercept the jump. However, any existing attack methods cannot penetrate the pure layer outside the Universe Rubik's Cube. The energy barrier instead gave it more impetus, making it jump faster and higher... The anxious Pentagon reluctantly formulated a plan to mount a giant net bag using an airship or helicopter after a few days, like The "ball catcher" plan is to capture the Rubik's Cube like a baseball, but there are still great difficulties in its specific implementation. At the same time, the three visitors from other worlds who caused all this chaos: Wang Qiu, Political Commissar Guo and the one-legged woman Tang Mary, quietly left New York, which had become a radiation zone, and found a way to buy a second-hand car. Then embarked on a journey to Texas to find another rescue target.
