Everyone was relieved to hear that Natasha's life was not in danger. As for the rest, it's all minutiae. She didn't even look at Natasha, who was opposite her, and didn't even care.
As a female ace agent, seduction is a basic skill. Furthermore, many of the people present had had an affair with Natasha and were very open about it, except... Clint.
Clint's face was gloomy, and his head always felt green. Ever since his wife and children disappeared in the snap of Thanos's fingers, he had been sinking for a while, and then during his contact with Natasha, the two got close. However, their relationship has always been a secret and has not been known to anyone else.
Except for Natasha in this world, who looked at Clint suspiciously and had doubts about it, no one else paid attention.
Everyone is more concerned about the power structure and personnel relationships in this world. In the past, the intelligence obtained through Friday was relatively rough, and the information obtained from middle-aged Tony was also very one-sided. Only through local personnel like Natasha, who was originally engaged in intelligence, could we truly have a deep understanding of this world.
After gaining mutual trust, Natasha had no intention of hiding anything and shared all the known information. Through Natasha's first-hand information, everyone determined that Zhan Liu was indeed not Hydra, but if there was nothing that Zhan Liu was interested in, even if Zhan Liu didn't care about the infinite stones, he would not be able to get help from Zhan Liu.
"In other words, there is definitely no hope for Natasha to steal the Reality Stone from Zhan Liu, and it is impossible to exchange for the Reality Stone through trade, and it is even more hopeless to snatch it by force!"
Steve and others were very reluctant, "Is it possible that we won't be able to get the Reality Stone?"
Natasha shook her head and said with relief: "That's not entirely true. In fact, Zhan Liu is very good to several beloved apprentices. You can ask Tony Stark to ask him directly, just in the name of research needs. , there is a great possibility that it will achieve its goal.”
Everyone was delighted and turned their attention to Tony.
"Okay, I'll contact myself in this world right away and ask him to ask for it."
The elderly Tony immediately contacted the middle-aged Tony, and the middle-aged Tony agreed without hesitation.
Seeing Tony put down the phone and stretched out his hand to sign an OK gesture, everyone had smiles on their faces.
Although the process is tortuous, the results are good.
Everyone has seen how powerful the Infinity Stones are in the hands of Thanos, and now with Tony Stark's technology, it is not difficult to find a way to use the Infinity Stones.
As long as you get an Infinity Stone, you're off to a good start. Then you can gradually accumulate advantages like a snowball, and slowly collect all the infinite stones.
Now that we can get the Reality Stone from Tony, there is no need for Natasha to continue to be coy and coy next to Zhan Liu. Clint couldn't wait to take out his phone and called Natasha, asking her to find a chance to leave and let the two of them change their identities.
But everyone was happy early, and soon Tony called back. Just now, Thor, the god of thunder, came with the magician from Asgard, made a deal with Zhan Liu, and then left with the ether particles.
The transaction went very quickly, and everything was settled in just a few minutes.
But it was not completely fruitless. Natasha got a superpower of magnetic field rotation from the martial arts gym. Zhan Liu asked Asgard's magician to use ether particles to realize it.
How great was the hope just now, how great is the disappointment now.
The moment everyone missed success, failure struck, as if a pair of fateful hands were deliberately manipulating it, causing all their efforts to fail.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Thor laughed, "Why are you looking like this? This should be a good thing!"
"Look, Asgard now has two Infinity Stones, how much time it can save us!"
"If you ask me, we'd better go directly to Asgard. After getting two Infinity Stones, we can come back to grab the Space Stone."
Steve took a deep breath and regained his composure and said: "What Thor said is not unreasonable. This is not necessarily a bad thing for us. We will first go to SHIELD to steal the space gems as planned. If we fail, we will go Asgard.”
After finishing speaking, Steve turned to look at Natasha, "Natasha, we need your help."
Natasha agreed without hesitation, "No problem, leave everything to me. Before Hydra breaks out, I want to enter SHIELD without any difficulty. As long as I can get in smoothly, I will I will definitely get the space gem. The question is, how will I get out then? I’m afraid I won’t be able to force my way out!”
"No need to force your way in!" Tony touched his wrist, and nanoparticles poured out, quickly forming a glove with six holes on the back of his hand. It was the imitation he made based on the Infinity Gauntlet.
"This is the glove I made specifically for using the infinite gems. When the time comes, put the space gem into this hole, and then you can control it. If my calculation is correct, you should be able to open the space door at will. We I have put the spatial coordinates here into the glove, and when the time comes, you only need to snap your fingers and it will be teleported out safely."
"Wow, this is really good equipment!" Natasha looked at the gloves with gleaming eyes, envious of its functions.
Tony took off the already formed gloves, put them on Natasha, and then hid them in the form of an ordinary bracelet, making it easier for her to pass SHIELD's security check.
Just then, Friday suddenly intervened.
"Sir, maybe you should read this news."
The TV in the hall automatically turned on and jumped to the Nashville TV station. In the middle of the screen, President Rogers, wearing a Captain America uniform, was making an impassioned speech.
"The current epidemic in Texas is not a real disease, but Hydra is spreading Terrigen crystal powder to transform all humans into aliens. Those who fail to transform will only die."
"All the prosperous scenes in Montana now are fake. It has been occupied by Hydra. Everyone who enters there is used as a slave and cannot leave there..."
Everyone gasped.
Through Friday, they did know that Hydra was very powerful in the United States, but many specific situations were not recorded in detail in the files, especially the dark content, which was often brushed aside.
Only now, after hearing President Rogers' statement, can we truly understand how cruel the truth behind this is.
Natasha's face was ugly, she took a deep breath and looked at everyone present.
"Friends, we are in trouble and need your help!"
However, Natasha didn't get the answer she wanted to hear, and everyone fell silent.
After a moment, Steve apologized to Natasha in an apologetic voice: "Sorry, Natasha, we have the lives of half of the entire universe on our shoulders, so we really can't let things go wrong. We must put the overall situation first!"
"Haha, the overall situation is the most important thing, huh?" Natasha laughed angrily, "I understand. Just pretend that I haven't been here today and we haven't met each other. Let's go about our business."
She turned around and left, and Clint hurried over and stretched out his hand to hold her, "Natasha, don't do this!"
"You should understand us. We are not the kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but we must not fail. We must collect the six infinite stones and bring them back to our universe in order to save it!"
Natasha turned her head, stared into his eyes, and smiled: "I understand, and I understand that you are doing the right thing. I don't mean to blame you."
"But as you can see, Captain America dug everything out. This means the beginning of all-out war. Hydra will definitely put all enemies on the banned list. I can't get into S.H.I.E.L.D. at all. , let alone have access to the space gems, I can’t help you at all.”
"Or, you can ask your Natasha to give it a try, maybe it will work!"
After saying that, the smile on Natasha's face disappeared and she shook his hand away hard.
"Finally, let me tell you, I am not your little lover, don't touch me."
Clint stood frozen on the spot, watching Natasha quickly walk out of the door and drive away.
Natasha's decisive attitude made everyone else's expressions waver, "Captain, we..."
Steve waved his hand to stop them, and said resolutely: "We have discussed this issue before. Since we have reached a conclusion at that time, there is no need to waste time anymore. Everything should be done in accordance with the decision at that time, and we must take the overall situation into consideration. Heavy!"
"Okay!" Everyone suppressed the ripples in their hearts and began to discuss the plan to steal the space gems.
"It is foreseeable that there will be a nationwide turmoil in the United States in the future. This turmoil may not end within three to five years. This chaotic environment is not necessarily a bad thing for us."
"Yes, SHIELD's force is too strong, but if rebellions occur frequently in various places, Hydra will have to transfer all the magnetic field warriors in SHIELD to various places to suppress the rebellion. And if there is emptiness within SHIELD, we will have a chance. Sneak into it and steal the space gem."
"We must pay close attention to the changes in the situation. Otherwise, after the outcome is clear, it will be dozens of times more difficult to seize the space gems."
After everyone discussed several plans, they began to pay close attention to the situation in various places.
Because Captain America punctured the window paper on the TV station, Hydra no longer hid, completely tore its face, and began to surface.
Next, turmoil broke out all over the United States, and various states and local forces separated themselves into independent states, making the United States a mess and full of chaos.
Almost within a few days, the Federation was effectively dismantled.
It is conceivable that even if the civil strife ends later, the national power of the United States will inevitably be greatly damaged, and it may not be able to recover for more than ten or twenty years.
The people watching are all superheroes, and they are all American superheroes. Naturally, they are very sad that America has become like this. Captain America, in particular, has always been loyal to the United States, but now he can only watch the country step by step towards the abyss of destruction.
But now they can only watch and can't do anything.
Because everything is focused on the overall situation!
Taking advantage of the turmoil in the United States during this period, Hydra's management of SHIELD was relatively lax. Everyone cooperated closely and infiltrated SHIELD several times. But a bad situation happened. Without the cooperation of internal personnel, they now can't even find the space gem.
The original space gems were supposed to be studied by Su Li and others at the Ministry of Science and Technology, but when they came in, they discovered that Su Li had been imprisoned and the space gems had been taken away by Hydra.
Friday's intelligence capabilities are all based on the Internet, and the location of the space gem should be hidden in a certain Hydra base, and this base is obviously not connected to the Internet.
Even so, with the slow infiltration and secret kidnapping of Hydra members to obtain intelligence, everyone finally gradually approached the Hydra base. However, fate once again played tricks on this group of people.
Hydra dominates the United States!
The world's largest country, with the largest technology and military power, faced Hydra's attack, but it surrendered faster than the Italians!
This caught everyone off guard, including President Rogers and others who were running to appeal to all parties to form a coalition force, as well as the group of visitors from other worlds who were now preparing to fish in troubled waters.
Steve was furious and completely disappointed with this group of politicians in the United States in this era.
But no matter how angry they are, they must face the reality, that is, their plan to steal the space gems while taking advantage of the chaos has completely failed.
"Okay, admit defeat!"
Here, Thor still looks heartless. Moreover, he has long been determined to return home, and now he is naturally encouraging everyone to go to Asgard.
"We should have gone directly to Asgard in the first place!"
"Since this is a parallel world, there is no need to worry about affecting the past, so we can go directly to Asgard as guests. Father and others will definitely welcome us visitors from other worlds."
"Asgard is different from people on Earth. We are much more accepting of people from other dimensions than Earth."
After a brief discussion, everyone had no choice but to agree.
"No need for a spaceship, I just summon Heimdall and pick us up." Seeing that he could go home, Thor was as happy as a fool and didn't know what to say.
Everyone walked to the open space outside the villa and formed a circle. Thor raised his arms and shouted: "Heimdall, open the door and take us back!"
After half a minute, there was no sign of the Rainbow Bridge landing.
Thor's big fat face twitched, "Haha, maybe he didn't look this way."
He reached out and took out the Storm Axe, and shouted to Heimdall again, but there was still no response. Facing the snickers of the crowd, Thor was a little embarrassed. This time he directly used the power of the Storm Ax to summon the Rainbow Bridge. However, there was still no response.
"What's going on? Has something happened to Asgard?" Steve, a kind man, asked with concern.
Thor scratched his head and said awkwardly: "The Storm Ax has the ability to summon the Bifrost, but it has never been opened. Either the Bifrost is broken, or... Heimdall deliberately refused to open the door for me."
Everyone laughed after hearing this. Thor in this universe was still using the Rainbow Bridge to come and go freely a few days ago. How could it be broken after just a few days? There was only one possibility, Heimdall rejected Thor.
But soon they stopped laughing at the implications behind this rejection.
They all know that Heimdall only listens to the words of God King Odin. His rejection of Thor means that God King Odin has rejected everyone.
"Odin won't be so stingy..." Thor obviously realized it, and his face looked a little ugly, "By the way, it must be Loki who is causing trouble in secret again! When I go back this time, I will teach him a lesson. Don’t stop!”
"Tony, I know the coordinates of Asgard. Bring the battleship over and let's fly there directly."
Steve reached out to grab him, shook his head, and said: "Now that Odin has made his attitude clear, we should not rush into conflict with Odin at this stage! Don't forget what we discussed before, everything is based on the overall situation!"
"Don't worry, captain! It must be Loki who is causing trouble! Father will not use force against us!" Thor was still angry.
"I believe you, Thor. It's very possible that Loki is causing trouble, but we can't take any risks, not at all. Do you understand?"
"Let's get the soul gem and the power gem first. No one will interfere with these two gems. Get them first, let Tony develop how to use them, and then look for other gems."
Being pressured by Steve with the overall situation in mind, Thor could only bow his head, "Okay, put the overall situation first!"
Everyone got on the spaceship and left the earth, preparing for a space jump.
However, as soon as the spacecraft flew near the moon, the earth suddenly shook violently.
Then, right under everyone's noses, the earth exploded!
