Chapter 177 SHIELD’s reaction
Kama Taj.
After consuming a golden apple, Levi unsurprisingly gained a huge amount of favor from the beautiful Wanda.
The story of the golden apple has spread very widely, especially when accompanied by the words: dedicated to the most beautiful goddess.
In contrast, not many people pay attention to its effect itself.
Now that Levi got it, he chose to give it to herself first, which really made Wanda very happy.
While she was surprised, Wanda couldn't help but think a lot more. Why did Levi give it to her?
However, as she thought about it, she couldn't help but blushing.
After asking a little about Pietro and learning that everything was fine recently, Wanda thanked Levi again. She then trotted away, using the excuse that she needed to learn magic.
She didn't want to eat it now, she wanted to keep it well because it was a gift from Levi to her!
Levi felt a little strange. Although he wanted to use the golden apple to improve Wanda's favorability, Wanda's performance was still a little too abnormal.
It's like the feeling of two old friends reuniting after not seeing each other for a long time.
etc.
Levi used the system briefly, and he saw that Wanda had mastered more than fifty black and white magics.
But it's only been a few days? If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be easy to just remember their names, right?
Needless to say, Levi immediately knew that it must be Ancient One who used the Time Stone to help Wanda cheat!
On the surface, it seems that he and Wanda were separated for only a few dozen hours, but in fact Wanda may have spent several months in a special accelerated space and mastered a lot of magic.
Wanda grew up in a Hydra base. Except for Pietro, all the other people she knew were from Hydra, and basically all of them were killed by her.
After she came out, the number of people she knew could be counted on one hand. In between studying magic, besides thinking about her brother, the only person she could think about was herself.
It is also foreseeable that if Ancient One continues to use the Time Stone in the future, Wanda's condition may become more serious, which makes Levi really not know what to say.
But he became more and more confused. If calculated based on the normal development time, Doctor Strange would take at least four or five years to come.
Now that Wanda, who is even more talented, has arrived at Kamar-Taj so early, why is Ancient One still in such a hurry? It's as if he's in a hurry to be reincarnated.
Oh, yes, he really seemed to be in a hurry to die.
At this moment, Levi turned his head and saw Gu Yi walking slowly from the south.
Levi reached out and pulled out a golden apple: "Master, would you like one?"
Having said that, he knew Ancient One wouldn't want it at all.
With the power stolen or robbed from Dormammu, the Ancient One could theoretically live as long as he wanted, and the reason he began selecting the next Supreme Sorcerer was purely because he felt he had lived enough.
As expected, Gu Yi smiled and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I think you may not be able to use it yourself."
Levi blinked, knowing that Ancient One must have seen something with the Time Stone.
But what he said was not wrong. Except for Aya, he gave one to all the people in the black robe who had a relationship with him, including Kate, Firecracker, Maeve, Starlight, etc.
From Marvel's side, Ali and Justine must be given. If they are given to Wanda, Pietro can also benefit from it. Otherwise, if her brother dies, her mental state may be affected.
Wanda's fighting ability is impeccable, but her fragile emotions will always be her biggest flaw, and she needs more attention.
Half of it has already been used up, and then there are Yali's little sisters. If they perform well, they will also have a chance.
Moreover, he was not sure whether Sif's ability could be used on the golden apple tree. Now the golden apples were indeed one less.
Just as he was thinking about it, Levi saw Gu Yi throw over an ordinary little cloth bag.
"This is a space storage device I made when I was free. You can put the golden apple tree in it and store it in other spaces. Just provide energy on time."
Levi didn't hesitate to take it. He found that this was a completely fool-proof device. It could be easily turned on or off after inputting a little energy.
"Thanks, Master. Does it have a name?"
Ancient One smiled and shook his head: "It wasn't before, but now I think it can be called the Golden Apple Bag."
Levi grinned and said, "You prepared this specially for me, right?"
But he was too lazy to ask in detail. With the Time Stone in his hand, Ancient One was like using a cheat device.
Since he said Wanda was the best choice and seemed to be intent on bringing them together, or at least letting himself and Wanda get together, he would definitely not do anything that would be detrimental to himself.
Now he was concerned about another question: "Master, do you know how long it will take for the snake to wake up?"
"Originally, I had to wait at least three to five years, but now with what you and Loki have done, I'm not sure anymore."
Uncertainty does not mean that it is impossible to be certain. It seems that Ancient One does not intend to continue observing using the Time Stone.
Wait, Levi suddenly realized: "Could it be that the snake's weakness is magic?"
Ancient One chuckled and nodded: "That depends on who is performing the move."
Okay, now Levi roughly understands it. Ancient One wants Wanda to practice with the father-like Snake before she succeeds the Sorcerer Supreme?
Even if he is just a participant and not the absolute main force, even if the opponent is in a low health state, he is still a god-level figure after all.
As long as Wanda performs better at that time, with such a record, everyone in Kamar-Taj will be convinced by Wanda.
Those who still refuse to obey are either born rebels or pure idiots. They can be used as experience babies so that Wanda can find an opportunity to deal with them.
Even Dormammu, who was originally planning to cause trouble after Ancient One committed suicide, might have been frightened.
Dormammu is at his strongest only in his lair, which is basically equivalent to Odin or Serpent at their peak.
If he came to Earth, his strength would be greatly reduced. In addition, Wanda would definitely inherit the Time Stone from Ancient One. Although Wanda might not be able to defeat him head-on, it would be relatively easy to stop him. Levi was relieved. With Wanda's current strength and experience, she was obviously unable to deal with the snake. Ancient One would definitely continue to train her. He should still have some time to find the Power Stone!
By then, the power of the two gems will definitely not be like when Doctor Strange dealt with Dormammu in the parallel universe, where he had to die hundreds or thousands of times before he could barely reach a negotiation with Dormammu.
I just don't know what Loki's fate will be next. If he really joins forces with himself, Wanda and others to solve the problem of Serpent as the acting God-King, is it possible for Odin to make him a regular God-King?
At the same time, in a secret base of ., Nick Fury, his trusted subordinate Coulson, his lieutenant Maria Hill, elite agents Black Widow and Hawkeye, and Iron Man Tony Stark and others gathered together.
After reviewing the whole story of the New Mexico incident and the general information about the people involved, Nick Fury's dark face showed no expression: "Stark, what do you think now?"
Iron Man was still cynical: "I knew that guy cheated. How could someone make such a perfect car by hand? He must have used magic!"
The Black Widow next to him corrected: "It's magic."
They had studied that brief but intense encounter in New Mexico many times.
Coupled with the flaming skull that had caused a massacre in Hell's Kitchen before, they were basically certain that there were indeed some supernatural beings in this world.
It is not yet clear whether there is any connection between the two.
Hawkeye was a little scratching his head, as he had witnessed the brief fight between Levi and Loki on the spot.
Although both sides were clearly restrained and no casualties were caused, the damage they caused to the surrounding environment was real.
This made him doubt his own strength for the first time. He did not appear this time, but if a similar enemy appeared in the future, how would he deal with it?
Nick Fury had long been accustomed to Iron Man's erratic behavior, and his mood and expression did not fluctuate at all.
He just continued: "Now we can be sure that they have extremely strong destructive power. Although their defense power is not yet clear, it is probably not too bad. We need some countermeasures."
Iron Man said rather arrogantly: "In fact, I have made some preparations. I will upgrade my equipment and make some special counter models against them."
Nick Fury said in a deep voice: "But this is not enough. I am forming an alliance. We need a stronger force."
"Oh, like?"
"Hulk."
"But Gideon Malik of the Security Council has requested to join the Abomination-Bronsky who is being held by General Ross. I hope you can help me with this problem first."
Iron Man scoffed, "So you've already found the big green guy, but you chose to hide it from the public!"
Nick Fury did not deny: "Unlike Abomination, we believe that Hulk is controllable. He has never done anything rude to his girlfriend, Betty, the daughter of General Ross, nor has he hurt her."
"Okay, I can handle that conceited stubborn old man, but even so, there's only one of you."
Hearing Iron Man say this, more than one person present was a little grumbling in his heart, speaking of arrogance, how many people can be more arrogant than you? You are indeed very confident!
"Natasha will join Hextech and get closer to the legendary Thor."
Based on the information currently available to him, Nick Fury believes that Levi doesn't seem to care particularly about Thor's stay or departure.
He could also roughly understand that for the Earth, as long as Thor, the alien prince, did not die on Earth, then everything else would be fine with him, right?
So he thought it necessary to try to get close to the other party. Once successful, whether he obtained alien technology or magic, it would be of great help to his side.
Although Thor doesn't seem to have any special abilities at the moment, judging from the previous conversation, Thor will most likely not remain in his current state forever.
At the same time, Natasha is a senior secretary who resigned from Stark Industries. No matter from which perspective, it is difficult for Justine to really reject such a talent.
When necessary, she can also cooperate with Sharon and Barbara to help each other better achieve the mission goals.
Iron Man took one look at Black Widow and immediately understood. He couldn't help but sneer, "Another honey trap?"
Black Widow didn't care and just flicked her hair: "Although it's old-fashioned, it's very practical."
There was one thing she didn't say, but everyone present knew it: hadn't you been fooled before?
Iron Man certainly understood this. He was badly deceived at that time. He couldn't help but groan: "I am different from that Thor. At least I don't use force. But he is not sure. He looks like a barbarian."
He is still a barbarian with very strong desires. Even though he has been exiled and deprived of his power, he still has the mood to hang out with ordinary women in the bar.
If it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it, well, at least not so casually.
No one, including the Black Widow, paid any attention to him, and more than one of them even had some peculiar thoughts in their minds.
If Thor accidentally makes a mistake, maybe it can become a bargaining chip for SHIELD?
Black Widow appears calm on the surface, but in fact she is forcing herself to suppress the disgust and even hatred in her heart.
She is good at this kind of action, but that doesn't mean she likes it!
But she had no choice. If she didn't accept .'s protection, countless Avengers would arrive soon.
Perhaps, she needs to investigate Levi carefully.
Is Levi really as simple as he seems? What is Nick Fury hiding?
Nick Fury remained noncommittal: "I believe Natasha can complete this task very well."
Iron Man stretched and said, "There are only two of us. Maybe I need to make more suits. Unfortunately, Rhodey only has one."
Rhodey, codenamed War Machine, is the only person he gave an Iron Man suit to.
Nick Fury said meaningfully: "Maybe you can change your mind a little bit. It doesn't necessarily require a person."
Iron Man's movements froze for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "You even peeked at this? You are such a shameless thief!"
Originally, this was just a flash of inspiration, not even a plan, which was to use Jarvis to remotely control his Iron Man suit in small batches. Unexpectedly, Nick Fury also peeked!
Nick Fury said without even raising his eyelids: "I know you have always been interested in Pym particles. Now Hank Pym and his girlfriend Janet are missing. After you meet with General Ross, perhaps you can go and search for them."
Iron Man's anger suddenly turned into joy: "Haha, OK, deal!"
