Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 273: Captain Marvel version, you should use Captain America first.

This was originally a channel for outside agents to collect intelligence, but after realizing Gaia's hint, Nick Fury wisely chose to cut off contact with the outside world.

"SHIELD will apply for approval to expand the basement for you, but I think I might need to go down and take a look in person." Nick Fury stood up and made a gesture to the agents who were watching in the dark outside.

This is the code they agreed on in advance. Nick Fury will judge Gaia's threat level based on his performance and give different feedback.

This gesture means to keep watch but to take no further action.

"Of course." Gaia led Nick Fury towards the basement.

In the silent darkness, the two of them walked down the passage one after another.

If it weren't for the rock wall next to him and the faint light coming from behind, Nick Fury wouldn't know where to stand.

"Don't be scared." Suddenly, Gaia's voice came from the front.

"What?" Before Nick Fury could respond to what Gaia meant, he saw Gaia's figure disappear before his eyes.

Less than one meter ahead, there seemed to be a looming door.

"gentlemen?"

no respond.

Nick Fury stopped in his tracks, hesitating whether to continue.

The next moment, he took a deep breath and took a few steps forward.

When he took the last step, he found that he seemed to have passed through a door. Then, his vision changed and he was standing on a huge platform. In front of him, there was a huge and open place. At the top, there is a huge light source that illuminates the space here.

Gaia has set up special space restrictions for its secret laboratory.

Only those who have obtained their own permission can enter here through that door. Otherwise, they can only find this place by violently digging into the mountain.

Gaia snapped her fingers, and two sofas appeared behind them.

"Sir, how much do you know about Hydra?" Nick Fury was not in the mood to sit down and asked directly.

"Not much left." A bottle of Feizhai Happy Water appeared in Gaia's hand and she drank it.

"Sir, this is very important for world peace!" Of course Nick Fury did not believe that Gaia only knew this bit of information.

From the abilities that the other party has shown, he must know more information.

"If you want to ask how many Hydra people are in SHIELD...then I really can't tell you in a short time."

"After all, there are too many..."

Upon hearing Gaia's words, Nick Fury felt his heart stop for a second.

"a lot of……"

Nick Fury looked at the leisurely Gaia, suddenly smiled, and then said: "Is this the deal Mr. Gaia wants to make with me?"

He thought Gaia wanted to use these Hydra lists in exchange for benefits.

Unexpectedly, Gaia just looked at him, shook her head and said, "No, this is just a small test."

"I will choose to cooperate with you only after you take care of the Hydra matter."

"If you can't get rid of Hydra even after you know there's Hydra inside...then I think it's necessary to ask you to cooperate."

For him, as long as he gets the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and has an environment where he can study it with peace of mind.

If Nick Fury is about to send him a right-hand assistant, he can't solve the hidden dangers within SHIELD.

Then Gaia really doesn't need to cooperate with him, why not keep the Cosmic Cube by herself...

"It seems that the values ​​​​of aliens are too different from humans. Things that are enough to subvert the order of this world... in your opinion are just a test."

"The situation is small. After all, what the Avengers will do in the future is to save the "world"."

Does he even know about the Avengers?This is a superhero organization that only exists in my own imagination.

Save the world?Could it be that he predicted that there would be a global crisis in the future?
If this is the case, can Carol be called back... With her power and her own methods, after eliminating the Hydra within SHIELD, maybe she can have a good talk with Gaia.

After all, the opponent's strength is very strong. If there is not a strong enough person on our side to compete with him, then even if they cooperate, SHIELD will be in a weak position.

He was not used to such cooperation.

"Are you trying to bring Carol Danvers back?"

Nick Fury looked at Gaia with wide eyes. Yes, the other person was someone who could predict the future. It was not surprising that he knew about Carol.

Captain Marvel's strength is too advanced in this version... Gaia thought.

With his current ability, there is no guarantee that he can beat the opponent.

Once she comes back, her plan to occupy the Cosmic Cube will come to nothing.

"Carol is currently busy helping other weak civilizations in the universe... I suggest you not disturb her."

"You'd better use Captain America first."

"Who were you just... talking about?"

"Hydra's old enemy, Captain America, Steve Rogers." Gaia looked at Nick Fury and said:

"In exchange for this information, I will keep the Cosmic Cube alone until you solve the Hydra problem."

"He... is still alive?"

"Of course, live well."

"It should be sleeping in an iceberg in the Arctic Ocean now. Don't worry, it will still work if you heat it up."

What does it mean that it can be used even if it is heated?
He has told me the information, why should I make this deal with him?

Can't I just send someone to find it myself?

Slow down, just slow down, at least you don't have to give the Universe Rubik's Cube.

"Oh, yes, this information is the kind of forced buying and selling."

"If you agree to give me the Cosmic Cube, I will find the person and give it to you."

"If you don't agree, I will throw people to Hydra and ask them to give me the Cosmic Cube."

"They can do it anyway."

Looking at Gaia's expression that didn't look like a joke, Nick Fury realized that the other person might actually do this.

"What are you going to do with that thing?"

"I won't tell you until you and I have truly established a cooperative relationship."

"Don't worry, I don't intend to blow up the earth."

Nick Fury was silent for a long time before he said: "I understand, the deal is established. But the Cosmic Cube involves many forces, so it may take some time."

"It doesn't matter, I can wait, but... no one can rely on me."

"I have one more condition." Nick Fury thought for a while and added: "While you are looking for the captain and studying the Cosmic Cube, we also need to send people to coordinate."

"Well...your math was taught by your physical education teacher, right? If I understood correctly, it should have been two conditions."

"Sorry, I was born in 1950. The United States at that time was not like it is now. The living conditions of black people were very harsh. I did not receive a good education when I was a child..."

"You fucking...forget it, but I tell you, if the people who come are from Hydra, I don't care!"

……

On the way back, Nick Fury was in a bad mood.

S.H.I.E.L.D. keeps the Cosmic Cube in its custody, but its knowledge of the Cosmic Cube is still very superficial. It only knows that this thing contains very powerful energy.But Gaia is not, he must know more information about the Cosmic Cube.

But according to the other party, he would not disclose it to himself before establishing a cooperative relationship.

And... before solving this problem, SHIELD still needs to clean up internally.

The Hydra hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D. must be uncovered and cleared away.

The reason why he agreed so easily to lend the Cosmic Cube to Gaia was because of this idea.

He didn't know whether Gaia had revealed a very crucial piece of information to him intentionally or unintentionally.

Hydra within SHIELD can also give him the Cosmic Cube.

The confidentiality level of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is very high. Not many people know about it. They are all the decision-makers of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Only level [-] agents may have this qualification.

Handing the Cosmic Cube to Gaia is a trial in itself.

He believed that those hydras would approach Gaia like sharks that smell blood.

Only if they act, can I have a chance to catch them...

……

"What? A one-time information fee of 400 million, and this information cannot be written in the report?"

"Old man, you're making it difficult for me."

Within S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury made a phone call to Alexander Pierce, the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and current Minister of the World Security Council, and informed him that he was applying for a special sum of money to pay for Gaia's death. Protection fees and intelligence fees.

"Well... I must say that the 400 million yuan includes the protection fees for the five previous agents. Life is priceless!"

Alexander Pierce on the other side of the phone was silent.

"Okay, I will help you, but even if the information can't be written in the report, at least I need to know it clearly."

"What did the person who could predict the future tell you?"

"Of course." Nick Fury replied: "Captain is still alive."

"Who's still alive?"

"Steve Rogers."

"He is not dead yet. Captain America, who is sleeping in the iceberg, will continue his fight in the new world."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

"I understand, then... please let the hero go home."

Nick Fury, who put down the phone, did not show any signs of relaxation because of the funding approval.

This phone call... was his test.

Nick Fury looks like Hydra to everyone now.

He must confirm who is available around him.

……

Clint Barton, a field agent recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. by Nick Fury, was given a very strange secret mission.

Together with a companion, he is going to carry out a secret level ten mission.

But the strange thing is that their mission requirement this time is that they don’t need to do anything. They only need to accompany a special consultant on a tour of the Arctic Ocean. If the consultant in between has any requirements, they will just do it and wait until After coming back, just report to Nick Fury alone.

But when he saw that his partner was Natasha Romanoff, it was even more strange.

Such a mission requires two level [-] agents?
Following Tony Stark's request, they took a special plane to a remote mountainous area.

Knocked on the wooden door of the ordinary house located on the top of the mountain.

"Hey, Gaia, do you have friends?" When the wooden door opened, the two level [-] agents were stunned.

Tony Stark?
Why is that playboy here?
Or is he the special consultant the two of them are looking for?

"Wow..." LSP Tony's eyes lit up when he saw Natasha Romanoff.

This figure and temperament are definitely top notch...

"Hey, beautiful lady...do you mind."

"What are you talking about? Be careful what I tell your future wife..." Gaia pushed Tony away and saw the two people at the door.

"I knew it would be you two."

"The coordinates will reach the destination in a while, and we will set off in about three to ten minutes."

"Didn't you prepare any cold-proof clothes?"

"It's on the special plane." Clint and Natasha heard Gaia's words but didn't react yet.

They are professional agents, how could they forget these things.

"Hey, you called me over and asked my special plane to fly to the Arctic Ocean to drop you a special container. What are you doing?" Tony squeezed in and tried to join the conversation between the three of them.

"I just want to go to the Arctic Ocean to dig up a person who has been sleeping for decades."

"Who are you digging?"

"Steve Rogers."

"Who?" Tony was stunned when he heard this familiar name.

Growing up, his father taught him to become a character like Captain America.

He is extremely familiar with this name.

The two agents looked at each other and saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

If this mission hadn't come from Nick Fury, they would have thought the other person was a lunatic.

That hero is still alive?

Before the two agents arrived, they were instructed by Nick Fury not to take the initiative to speak to the advisor, so they both maintained restraint.

But not Tony Stark. After learning that Captain America was still alive, he couldn't wait to go to the Arctic Ocean to dig graves with Gaia.

……

Half an hour later, Tony Stark received the information that his private plane had dropped the special container given to him by Gaia in the Arctic Ocean.

Then, Gaia raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

At this moment, a sparkling arc appeared out of thin air in the room and gradually expanded.

The arc gradually formed a hole that is now more than one meter long. Opposite the formed hole is a vast expanse of white ice and snow.

They even felt the cold air blowing from the opposite side.

"Let's go."

Gaia entered it first, then turned around and looked at the three people behind them who were stunned in the ice and snow.

Even Tony Stark, who knew something about Gaia, did not expect such a move.

This is... the portal!
