Chapter 322 Don’t Forget, You Are Just an Abandoned Pawn of Asgard!
In the distant depths of space, a space fleet is gathering at this time, and in the center of the surrounding fleet, a huge space battleship is slowly heading towards the solar system.
However, in the vast hall of this huge battleship, many strange-looking alien creatures were gathered at this time.
"People from Asgard! What are you doing!"
Sitting on the throne, a strange-looking alien creature angrily slapped the armrest of the throne and yelled at the Asgardian who looked embarrassed in the center of the hall.
"I don't know either... The Cosmic Rubik's Cube... The Universe Rubik's Cube suddenly broke off contact with me?"
Loki got up from the ground in confusion, looking at the staff in his hand in disbelief.
Just now, Loki, who thought he was fully prepared, was preparing to use the energy of the staff to completely connect with the Cosmic Cube, intending to arrive directly at the Midgardians' lair.
However, what he didn't expect was that just when he was about to connect to the Universe Rubik's Cube, an inexplicable mysterious energy suddenly forcibly took away the energy of the Universe Rubik's Cube, completely kicking him out of the connection.
Then a powerful surge of magic power came back from the staff, sucking all the magic power out of his body in almost the blink of an eye.
If the spell cast by God King Odin did not require his own magic power supply, he would probably have exposed the blue skin that originally belonged to the Frost Giants!
"Listen! Asgardians! The reason why our clan agreed to cooperate with you is because you promised to obtain the space gem for the king. If you can't do it, then naturally our clan will not keep you in vain. The abandoned son of Asgard!"
The Chitauri leader on the throne sternly reminded that, as he said, Loki was just a pawn of the king.
If Loki can do what he promised, it's okay to give him the little earth, but if he can't...
Loki's face was gloomy, his right hand holding the staff tightened again and again, and finally he lowered his head in silence.
"I know, I'll do it."
With these words behind him, Loki staggered and slowly exited the hall.
…
After waiting for a long time, Leni and others did not see the Cosmic Cube release energy pulses again.
And the strange thing is that even the internal energy that was originally not very stable gradually stopped surging and slowly returned to calm.
"Is it... okay?"
Coulson walked closer to the Cosmic Cube and observed it carefully for a while. From the appearance, the Cosmic Cube was indeed slightly different from before.
"Probably."
Leni took out a pair of gloves from the warehouse and put them on, then stretched out her hand towards the Cosmic Cube.
"Hey! What do you want to do? You can't touch the Cosmic Cube with your hands!"
Dr. Selvig, who returned to the test area, saw this and hurriedly stopped. Let alone touching this thing with his hands, the equipment may cause a strong energy reaction if it comes even slightly closer. Leni actually dared to touch it like this. ?
"It's okay, as long as you don't activate it, it won't react violently."
Leni Nicole was one of the original researchers of the Pegasus Project. Although she only served as an experimental assistant at the time, her experience in observing the Cosmic Rubik's Cube was far greater than that of Dr. Bilvig.
Nick Fury waved his hand to signal Dr. Selvig to calm down. At this point, he did feel that Leni would be more reliable.
And this was exactly why he asked Leni to come over and take a look.
Leni ignored the two men's small movements, but slowly stretched out her hand towards the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. The moment her fingertips completely touched the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, the progress bar that had been stagnant at 94% moved as expected.
Phew~
Leni breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. The system was reliable and did not trick her.
[Please host to continue to maintain the current state, energy intake is in progress... Current progress: 95%! 】
Closing her eyes, Leni pretended to feel the energy of the Cube. She didn't take her hand off the Cube until the progress bar reached 100%.
"How about it?"
Seeing Leni open her eyes again, Colson hurriedly asked, causing everyone around her to focus on Leni.
With a slight cough, Leni pretended to be thoughtful and spoke slowly.
"His energy fluctuations have calmed down again. It's almost the same as the previous energy core. It should be safe now."
The energy core that Leni mentioned refers to the 084 item brought back from Libya.
As a replacement for the Cosmic Cube developed by Hydra specifically for large-scale equipment, its internal energy will briefly turn into a relatively stable energy core after being vented. This is also known to Nick Fury and others.
Taking off her gloves, Leni turned around and motioned for Nick Fury and Coulson to follow her out.
There were some things she couldn't say in front of Dr. Selvig and other experimenters who were present.
Nick Fury saw Leni's thoughts and took Leni to a conference room.
"Turn off the surveillance system."
After closing the door to the conference room, only Leni was left in the room. Nick Fury then signaled Leni to speak directly.
Leni reached into the void, took out the 084 space energy core, and placed it on the conference table nearby.
"You must stop researching the Cosmic Cube and hand it over to me for safekeeping."
The meaning is obvious. Lainie wants to use the energy core on the table as a trade to persuade Nick Fury to give up the second phase of the Cosmic Cube research plan.
"I know what you are going to do with the Cosmic Cube. Replicating Hydra's weapons and equipment, right? The cube energy contained in this energy core is enough for you to use."
However, Nick Fury narrowed his eyes and examined Lainie after taking a look at the core.
"What do you want to do with the Cosmic Cube?"
"Stop a disaster. You don't know the source of this thing at all, and you don't understand what it can bring."
"You want to say that you know where it comes from?"
"This thing comes from Asgard, or from the universe..."
Lainie sighed and slowly explained the origin of this Cosmic Cube.
"God King Odin, the father of Thor, the god of thunder we met in New Mexico, found this cosmic treasure a long time ago, but he did not keep it for long. In 1409 AD, Odin hid it in Tønsberg, Norway."
"Then in March 1942 AD, the commander of Hydra, Red Skull, found the Cosmic Cube in Norway and used it as the core to develop the later Rubik's Cube energy weapon..."
"You all know what happened later. Captain America defeated Red Skull and Hydra, blah blah..."
Laini did not explain the nature of the Cosmic Cube clearly. After all, it would involve very troublesome things. For now, she should focus on the Rubik's Cube.
"You mean, this thing originally belonged to Asgard?"
Nick Fury snorted coldly. He didn't think so.
"At least it was once, but that's not what I want to say. I want to say... As former owners, they know the harm of this thing much better than us, otherwise Odin wouldn't have hidden it in Norway."
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not that with their strength, they no longer need the Cosmic Cube, and they don't want to be coveted by others, so they hide it on Earth, right?"
Laini raised her eyebrows and thought to herself that you really guessed it right.
"Almost. In short, this thing is still too advanced for the current Earth. Premature research on the Cosmic Cube will only bring disaster to the Earth! I think you know this better than anyone else."
Laini's words were meaningful, but she felt that Nick Fury could understand what she meant.
"Project Pegasus..."
Coulson muttered softly, and was then glared back by Nick Fury.
"Like I told Coulson before, the Cosmic Cube can bring me to Earth, so it can also bring other messy people here. How many people do you think will be as easy to negotiate as me?"
