Chapter 321 The Stolen Cosmic Cube
A week later.
In the underground research institute of SHIELD's Tricurved Wing Building, Dr. Selvig is using the remaining data of the Pegasus project to study the Cosmic Cube.
There is no doubt that the Cosmic Cube has been used by the Nazis to invent many weapons since before World War II, and even energy weapons that surpassed the times.
Nick is now in a more anxious mood than an ant on a hot pot. In Nick's view, the earth is the territory of the earth people, but the current area is mixed with fish and dragons.
Nick simply saw the threat of aliens and the potential threat of ninjas, but limited to Nick's own knowledge, he was not aware of other threats facing the earth.
At least Nick doesn't know anything about the dimensional threats blocked by the mage lineage.
Under the supervision of Hawkeye Barton, Dr. Selvig is engaged in the research of the Cosmic Cube every day.Even if there is infinite energy in the universe, Dr. Selvig has no way to extract these energies stably.
After all, Dr. Selvig does not yet have the strength to stabilize the energy output of the Cosmic Cube.
The day-to-day research did not discourage Dr. Selvig. Those who do research should calm down after all.
Nick and Hawkeye came to the research room together today, after all, Dr. Selvig said that he had achieved some results recently.
It's a pity that today's experiment still failed.Looking at the results of the failed experiment, when he was about to record the parameters of the experiment, an accident happened suddenly.
"The energy surge of the Cosmic Cube is completely out of control now, Barton, help cut off the power supply!"
Barton immediately helped the experimenters cut off the power supply, but unfortunately, the Cosmic Cube continued to emit surging cosmic fluctuations.
"The energy index is still rising, and it's out of control now!" Dr. Selvig was already sweating profusely, and the surrounding laboratory staff was in a mess.
"What will happen if you can't control it?" Nick already had a bad feeling.
"It's not going to happen...in the best case, the whole of New York will be wiped out."
"What?" Hawkeye Barton's eyes widened, "Is there no way to stop it? Isn't the energy source already cut off?"
"It's useless. The Cosmic Cube itself is an artifact of infinite energy. It can continue to supply energy by itself even if the energy is cut off!"
The faint blue light shot into the distance like a huge laser beam, and a dark portal in the void was taking shape.
"What happened? Dr. Selvig!"
"The Cosmic Cube opened a space channel..."
A green boot in the space door stepped on the ground.A man covered in green and wearing a golden antler helmet walked out of the space passage.
"Kneel down! Mortals!" After speaking, Loki pointed the scepter at the gun-wielding Nick and fired an energy ray. Fortunately, Nick dodged it with agility.
Loki didn't care about the people at the scene, picked up the scepter and shot at the experimenters and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents one by one.The energy rays of the scepter instantly suppressed the defense forces on the scene.
"Barton, can you subdue him?" Nick hid behind the wall and began to call out to Barton.
"Let me try!"
Unexpectedly, when Barton just stood up, Loki, who suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbed his right hand, tapped Barton's chest with the scepter, and Barton stood there dumbfounded.
Then Loki followed the same pattern and used the scepter to control Dr. Selvig.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Nick took the opportunity to pick up the Rubik's Cube and put it in the transport box. When he was about to escape, he was shot down by Button.
"Good marksmanship!" Loki praised.
"Take the Cosmic Cube and Dr. Selvig, let's go."
Hawkeye got into the car and drove the snatched pickup truck, carrying Rocky and Dr. Selvig to break out.
A bullet hit Nick's body armor just now. Although he didn't suffer much injuries, Nick was impacted by kinetic energy. After finally recovering, he started chasing.
Coulson and Hill also kept shooting at the pickup.It's a pity that the vehicle pursued by several people was quickly blown up by the laser beam of Loki's scepter.
"Get out of the way!" Nick kept shooting at the pickup where Rocky was on the helicopter, trying to prevent Rocky from escaping.
"Why do mortals always like to be so overreaching?" Loki stood up and leaned out of the car window, a ray directly destroyed the helicopter of SHIELD, and then walked away with the Cosmic Cube.
Looking at the wreckage and the injured S.H.I.E.L.D. agents everywhere, Nick jumped out of the helicopter in time and slammed his fist on the ground.
"Damn! Coulson, how are the casualties?"
"Director, 8 of our brothers have died, and more than 20 have been sent to the hospital." Coulson responded in frustration, while Maria Hill, whose face was covered in blood, remained silent.
Having the Cosmic Cube taken abruptly from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base isn't just a disgrace, it's a crisis, especially now that Hawkeye Patton and Dr. Selvig have defected.
"Issuing a warrant for Dr. Selvig and Barton within S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Director, there must be some misunderstanding..."
Nick stopped Coulson from explaining, "I know that there is a high probability that the other party used some method to control Barton and Dr. Selvig, but it is an indisputable fact that they have defected now."
"The Cosmic Cube has a lot to do with it. It is no longer a simple matter of losing an item, especially since the enemy still appears from the space passage. It seems that the plan has to be advanced."
"Colson, we are going to get busy. You go to contact Tony Stark, inform Natasha, and find Bruce Banner. Let me inform the captain."
……
A remote village in India, where Banner has lived for a long time.There is a peaceful atmosphere and a Buddhist master here.
Under the teaching of the master, Banner has been trying to calm his heart and control his heart.
It has been a long time since the last rampage, but whenever Banner thinks of the destroyed New York streets, Banner's heart beats faster and he is annoyed.
Banner was afraid that he would hurt others if he lost control again, so he could only run to as remote a place as possible to prevent himself from causing more damage.
But today Banner's life is still disrupted.The helicopter circling in the sky told Banner that his location had been found again, but this time Banner did not run away immediately.
If it was his former "old father-in-law" General Ross, he would definitely come up and take a cold shot, but these helicopters had no intention of attacking.
"Hello Banner, I'm Natasha. I have to disturb your peaceful life this time."
Banner simply raised his arm and let the cautious Natasha draw out the pistol—even though he knew that the pistol was meaningless to the person in front of him.
