Chapter 130: Chapter: 130
"In short, we not only know that there are other life forms in the universe, but we have also discovered that our military power is far behind theirs. In order to deal with these dangers, we need necessary means of counterattack!"
Upon Fury's explanation, Mark rolled his eyes and didn't believe a word of it.
Fury knew that long before he had hair and before he got his disability card, he already knew about the existence of extraterrestrial beings and was well aware of their technological superiority over Earth. It was precisely because of this that he had been obsessively pursuing his Avengers plan.
So Fury's explanation might have some truth to it, but it wouldn't account for more than 10% of the reasons.
"It is because you wanted to use the Tesseract to create weapons that Loki and his allies were drawn here. You are sending a signal to other civilizations, declaring that Earth is ready to engage in advanced warfare."
At this moment, Thor also walked in from the door. Apparently, with his exceptional hearing, he had already heard the debate among the people in the laboratory.
"What everyone said is correct. Do you remember the Dark Forest Law that I told you about? Earth unknowingly sent a signal and exposed its location, so they came after us."
"Even if you want to study the Tesseract, you should at least find some intelligent people, like me, Father, and Dr. Banner—forget it, you brought in Dr. Erik Selvig, but he's a bit neurotic. Your choice of personnel is terrible," Mark mocked, and Fury had no way to refute him. Mark had warned him even before the second phase of the plan was initiated, but the sense of urgency had disrupted his ability to make the right judgment.
Furthermore, although Fury held great power as the highest commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was merely a disposable pawn in the hands of the real wielders of power.
For his own greater ambitions and to keep S.H.I.E.L.D on the right path, Fury reluctantly had to make compromises at times, even if he didn't want to.
Mark also sensed that Fury seemed to have some hidden difficulties, and his nanobots detected that the intensity of the brainwaves released by the Mind Stone within him was steadily increasing. He intended to cool down the current situation that was gradually getting out of control.
However, before Mark could speak, Natasha walked in, coincidentally. "Dr. Banner, I think you should leave here now. I just figured out Loki's true objective, and it does align with Mark's analysis. He wants to manipulate you."
"Aren't you S.H.I.E.L.D. agents doing the same? I'm not the kind of person who can be summoned and dismissed at will." Under the influence of the Mind Stone, Banner, who had been determined to complete the mission and leave as soon as possible, now didn't want to go.
The people on-site, who were already caught up in the heat of the moment, didn't notice that Mark was constantly moving his fingers in the air.
Receiving the good news, Mark was delighted and immediately spoke up, "Hey, everyone! Let's calm down and listen to me for a moment.
As Captain said, we need to focus our attention on solving the immediate crisis. If you want to hold someone accountable, we can do that after the crisis is resolved."
"For the current situation, we can confirm two things. First, Loki needs to use the Tesseract to open a portal for his extraterrestrial army.
Second, Loki's purpose in surrendering was to get close to Dr. Banner and attempt to create internal chaos by influencing his emotions.
The first matter is currently in progress, awaiting the results of signal collection.
As for the second matter, perhaps you haven't noticed, but since Loki boarded the mothership, everyone's emotions have become extremely extreme and volatile, and their thoughts have deviated from the original path.
I have found the reason. This staff on the experimental platform has been emitting a brainwave that affects our brains, thoughts, and emotions. It's Loki's contingency plan.
However, thanks to this, while you were all arguing, I had Baymax analyze the principle behind it and found a method to shield against this interference and keep people calm. It happens to solve the second problem.
How many sets of synthetic eye equipment do you have in stock on the mothership? I can modify them into shielding devices and help Dr. Banner suppress negative emotions."
"We don't have many, but we have enough for everyone in the room. I'll have someone bring them over immediately," Fury responded.
"Is there any way to remove the already imposed mental interference and free Agent Barton and Dr. Selvig from Loki's control?" Upon hearing Mark's words, Natasha, in her mind, immediately thought of Hawkeye and asked Mark with hope.
"That might not be possible. The staff's influence on the mind is like overlaying a new personality within their existing memories, causing the controlled individuals to act accordingly.
Even if I can remove Loki's control over them, it can only be done through another overlay, covering up the interfering personality Loki implanted. But even so, they won't return to their original selves.
To overcome this influence, they can only rely on their own willpower or give me some time to study it slowly."
"...," Natasha expressed some disappointment with the answer and her concern for Barton was evident in her expression.
Ding ding ding!
Suddenly, the laboratory echoed with a series of electronic chimes, capturing everyone's attention.
Banner: "The location of the Tesseract has been identified. It seems that the first issue will be resolved soon."
"I think we should address your problem first, Dr. Banner." As he spoke, Mark threw a headband to Banner.
Fury's subordinates acted swiftly, and within a few sentences, the item was delivered. Through the nanobots within him, Mark could mass configure these synthetic eyes, fixing their brainwave frequency within the desired range.
"Put it on, Dr. Banner. I believe you won't have to worry about getting angry again in the future..."
