Chapter 382 Anomalies in the Cosmic Cube, essential skills for SHIELD agents (two-in-one)

Deep in the universe, there is an unknown purple planet.

Somewhere on the planet, a black, huge, ferocious alien star battleship is sitting high in the sky.

At this time, Thanos was sitting in the command room on top of the battleship.

This cabin, which should have been filled with various high-tech equipment, has been transformed, and now it is filled with a kind of silence and solemnity set off by black paint.

And at the end of the cabin filled with black halo is a stone throne.

It looks like it's made of obsidian, not very luxurious, but it's huge, very much in line with Thanos' size.

Thanos is a humanoid creature.

But he looks completely different from the Earthlings. He is sitting on his throne, wearing a gold and blue armor, and wearing metal short boots of the same color.

There is also a golden-blue war helmet inlaid with gems on the top of his head.

He looked like a giant.

He stands at least 2.5 meters tall and has a strong body, but his exposed skin is purple and full of wrinkles.

Especially on the chin, there are so many wrinkles that are scary, like purple sweet potatoes.

However, his blue eyes like animal pupils were very calm.

Thanos sat on his throne in the posture of a thinker.

He looked straight ahead with indifferent eyes, looking down at Loki who was wearing a tall golden helmet that looked like antlers.

At this time, Loki raised the spiritual scepter in his hand and said loudly with a rather arrogant tone.

"Dear Lord of the Dark Order, Thanos."

"I, Loki Odinson, the son of Odin and the future Lord of the Nine Realms, will definitely keep my promise."

"When your army helps me become a queen, I will definitely bring the space gem to you."

Hearing this, Thanos nodded, then remained silent, as if he was a little disdainful, and didn't even bother to say a word.

Loki underneath saw the seriousness of this scene and had a flash of gloom, but then he smiled.

He now also needs Thanos' Chitauri fleet.

He cannot fall out now until he captures Midgard and becomes the King of Midgard.

By the time.

Humph, such an indifferent attitude was not because I was down and out, making me the Lord of the Nine Realms, and the first one to be destroyed was Thanos' Dark Order.

Especially that ebony throat.

Damn that guy, he actually dares to ridicule me, I will torture him severely when the time comes.

As the thoughts passed through his mind, Loki put them deep in his heart.

Then, he bowed to Thanos and walked out of the hall.

night.

Cosmic Cube Research Base.

Central Research Office.

Buzz!

A cube glowing with indigo light floats in mid-air, without support, just floating, which looks particularly strange.

Visible to the naked eye, the space near it is like water, with waves appearing, as if the entire space is distorted.

This is the 084 item that SHIELD has treasured for more than half a century - the Cosmic Cube.

However, focus on the researchers wearing white coats on the ground.

The hurried footsteps and anxious look all indicate that

An accident occurred at the base!

"Conducting the 36th experiment, tungsten rod touch test."

A fat middle-aged researcher wearing a white coat said seriously.

If Lockhart were here and saw this person, he would know that this was the first time he came to the Marvel world to meet the astrophysicist Dr. Selvig.

It now appears that he has joined SHIELD to study the Tesseract.

And when Selvig gave the order, it didn't take long.

Around the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, 12 silver-white mechanical arms are constantly rotating around it, seemingly looking for a suitable position.

Soon, four of the robotic arms raised four tungsten rods and touched the Cosmic Cube in the middle.

Then

Buzz!

At a position 90 centimeters away from the Rubik's Cube, the tungsten rod, which could have been called the main material of the Rod of God and is strong enough to withstand atmospheric friction, shattered and fell like scraps of paper.

Dots of white ash appeared on the ground, which seemed to show the results of this test.

"James, record the results of this research." Selvig's slightly disappointed voice sounded.

Looking at the energy data displayed on the screen in front of him, he continued: "The 36th tungsten rod contact test failed. Most of the tungsten rods disappeared, leaving only some remains in the form of powder."

"The energy distribution around the Universe Cube is suspected to be a high-intensity energy impact."

"."

"Now, conduct the 37th test, the magic arm touch test."

As Selvig gave the order again, the researchers who stayed in front of the complex precision instruments began to press buttons one by one, as if they were debugging something.

At the same time, all the robotic arms retracted backwards, and then the six mechanical fingers at the tip were fully opened.

There was a pipe-like existence in the middle, with a lavender light emerging. After Selvig saw it, his eyes showed a trace of obsession.

This is magic!

In New Mexico, when I met Lockhart for the first time, I saw the magic of magic.

Without any tools, just energy, your wishes can come true.

It's amazing.

After joining S.H.I.E.L.D. and knowing their research on magic, I naturally joined them without hesitation.

The more I studied it, the more I marveled at the wonders of the magic provided by Lockhart.

It's like energy, but it doesn't seem to be energy. It's like it has its own soul, with exquisite structure and sharp response.

It’s all amazing.

At this time, he was paying attention to the slowly emitting purple light from the center of the mechanical arm.

Their research on magic is still in its infancy because it is not long ago.

Although the effect of initial materialization of magic power can be achieved, the time required is not short.

Then, he set his sights on the Cosmic Cube again.

Looking at this all-too-familiar Cosmic Cube. Selvig sighed inwardly.

Why!

The sudden unexpected situation of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube caught him off guard.

After many tests, it was impossible to touch the Cosmic Cube, let alone remove it.

Now I just hope that the director is there.

tread! tread! tread!

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded in the research room.

Selvig turned around and saw Sitwell, Clint Barton, Director Nick Fury, and Black Widow Natasha rushing forward.

"Director, you're here." Selvig strode forward and said in a hurried tone: "Last time, the information you obtained said that the Cosmic Cube was suspected to be the treasure of God King Odin in Nordic mythology - the Dragon Jewel. ."

"Have you got any more relevant information now?"

"I need enough information to know what went wrong."

After Nick Fury heard this, he nodded to Natasha on the side and comforted: "Dr. Selvig, don't worry, Natasha is now resident in the world of all things."

"Only she can check the information about the Dragon Treasure Jade at present. I believe she will not let us down."

At the same time, Natasha said: "Dr. Selvig, I learned about it from the books on the World of Vientiane."

"Odin, the king of the gods in Norse mythology, controls the Eternal Spear and the Dragon Jewel."

"The Dragon's Jewel is said to have infinite energy and is a weapon for God King Odin to conquer the nine realms."

"According to records in books, the Dragon's Jewel is suspected to allow its owner to control space. The Rainbow Bridge in Nordic mythology may be based on the Dragon's Jewel."

"."

Listening to Natasha's introduction, Selvig fell into thinking.

The Cosmic Rubik's Cube contains almost infinite energy, which he already knew through experiments.

But can you control space by controlling the Rubik's Cube?

Reminiscent of the previous tests, a large amount of material disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a small amount of debris.

It was originally speculated that it was related to energy impact, but now it seems that it may be closely related to space.

While thinking, Selvig turned around and shouted loudly to the researchers: "Bring out the space confinement device that was previously studied at the base, and arrange high-intensity space confinement positions around it."

"Okay, doctor."

After the researcher in the corner heard it, he immediately answered and started to make phone calls.

Selvig also walked directly to the observation instrument, preparing to further study the space data.

Natasha, seeing Selvig in a hurry, as if he was racing against time, smiled and said nothing.

Clint and Sitwell next to them were already used to it.

They had previously been stationed at the Cosmic Cube Research Base and had a relatively good understanding of Dr. Selvig's character.

Discourteous actions like this are common.

"Director, I spent a lot of magic points reading the magic book this time to investigate the information." Natasha, who didn't care, glanced at the Cosmic Rubik's Cube floating in the air.

Then he walked up to Director Nick Fury and said with a smile on his face: "I saw a magic potion in the trading area that helps mages practice."

"I heard from other people that it is very helpful for mage apprentices like me who have just come into contact with meditation."

"Director, let's see if you can give me some more magic points?"

When Nick Fury heard what Natasha said, he rubbed his forehead helplessly and said, "Go find Coulson and see what he says."

In this regard, Natasha, who seemed to have expected it, immediately said: "I told Coulson, and he said that as long as the director agrees, it will be fine."

Hearing this, Nick Fury twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "How many magic points do you need?"

Ever since he was going to let Natasha practice magic.

SHIELD's magic point reserves began to fluctuate violently.

Does it cost so much to train a mage?

In just one month of going back and forth, Natasha had consumed nearly 1 million magic points.

You know, ordinary materials such as gold cannot be exchanged for magic points.

The exchange materials Lockhart requested were basically closely related to magic.

And he can only earn magic points by selling some 084 items.

By now, many of the various strange items SHIELD has collected over the years have entered Lockhart's hands.

Hey, it turns out that building a platform is all about making money.

Nick Fury complained secretly, and then placed his fiery gaze on the Cube, with a trace of expectation in his eyes.

The Cosmic Rubik's Cube is his hope to break through the magic blockade.

This is also true.

Not to mention weapons.

Regarding the magic points, not long ago they extracted the energy from the Rubik's Cube and condensed it into energy.

Try to test whether it can be redeemed for magic points.

The results are gratifying.

Vientiane World accepts it, although the exchange ratio is a bit exaggerated.

However, the energy of the Universe Rubik's Cube is almost infinite.

Then the energy blocks of the Universe Rubik's Cube that can be condensed will be infinite accordingly.

With such a simple conversion, they will have the opportunity to obtain infinite magic points in the future.

By the time.

It's time to show Lockhart the power of financial means.

Now, the most important thing is to solve the anomaly problem of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

This is the source of his wealth, nothing can happen to it.

"100,000 magic points!"

Natasha hesitated and stated the quantity she needed.

She discovered a very good place in the world of Vientiane - she can use magic to beautify her body.

"100,000!" Fury hesitated, looked into the expectant eyes of his confidant Natasha, and said, "This is a bit much, maybe 50,000."

Cut it in half at once.

Faced with this situation, Natasha was filled with excitement, but with a hint of helplessness on her face, she said, "Okay, Director."

"I'll go find Coulson first. If I don't have enough later, I'll contact the bureau."

Well, 15,000 magic points for the first course of treatment is enough.

It should be no problem to report an information fee when the time comes.

After all, chatting with the female mage is in itself a way to obtain information.

Regarding the wool in the barn, Natasha said: Habits become natural!

This is an essential skill that every agent should master - reimbursement!

At this moment, Clint and Sitwell left Natasha and the director early.

They were not interested in getting involved in the conversation between the two of them.

They themselves ran to the vicinity of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and carefully observed the Cosmic Rubik's Cube floating in the air.

Seeing the brilliant blue glowing from the Rubik's Cube, both of them had a hint of surprise in their eyes.

At this moment, suddenly.

The Cosmic Rubik's Cube floating in the air began to flicker.

Strange runes began to appear one after another on the six indigo surfaces of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

"Director, doctor, something is wrong." Clint shouted loudly, and at the same time, he reached out and took out his crossbow from his back.

However, he did not pay attention to his companion next to him - Sitwell.

A strange golden light flashed in Sitwell's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a trace of confusion and confusion.

But in just two or three seconds, his expression returned to normal.

"Quickly, activate the space confinement device with the highest intensity."

In response to Hawkeye Clint's call, Selvig gave hurried orders.

Through the spatial data on the screen in front of him, he discovered that there were sharp fluctuations in the space.

The frequency of fluctuations and the data displayed are somewhat similar to what Lockhart had done before when he opened the portal.

what does that mean?

Selvig had a guess.

The researchers around them heard what Dr. Selvig said.

Immediately activate the space confinement device you just moved in.

However.

As soon as Selvig finished speaking, everyone saw the Cosmic Cube suddenly emit stronger energy fluctuations, and then instantly turned into a blue light curtain.

At the same time, Loki, wearing a golden horned helmet and holding a spiritual scepter, took a step forward.

"People of Midgard, your future king is back."
