Chapter 374: Contradiction Highlights All Motives
These days, the captain has not spent time in vain. It sounds interesting to adapt to the times, but it is actually just a waste of time.
He did a lot of homework in private, and supported the blessings of the media and the Internet, which are omnipresent and talked about in modern society, some things were inadvertently exposed to the captain.
For example, the numerous superheroes in this era and the severe real problems faced by all superheroes now. As the biggest typical and special case, the character of Dawn Knight impressed the captain very deeply.
This is the superhero who saves the largest number of ordinary people, and the most powerful hero that has ever appeared so far. It is also the hero who has suffered the greatest injustice. With all the above identities, coupled with the fear that Director Fury accidentally revealed, the captain has to become very interested in the character of the Dawn Knight.
Therefore, when the current situation is where strength is most needed, the captain immediately questioned without seeing the superhero who is most interested in appearing.
And his doubts immediately made Director Fury look very ugly.
"We have notified that person, but he has clearly rejected us. So this crisis can only be handled by everyone here."
He explained clearly, but what he attracted was sarcasm from more people.
"Reject? I think you guys have already forced him to come at all. Incite those stupid ordinary people to make a marches all over the world. Since you can do this, why do you still think about letting him come to save the situation at this time? If you still have some backbone, be honestly responsible for what you do."
Tony, who was busy lately, has not paid much attention to the situation on TV and news reports, but he almost burst into anger when he took the time to see it in the past two days. He is now venting his anger in words without any mercy, and at the same time he is also speaking up for his good friend.
His argument obviously made Director Fury very unhappy. To be honest, although he was very happy to see the uncontrolled guy like the Knight of Dawn being excluded by the subject of this society, everything that happened had nothing to do with him. The mastermind behind the scenes was obviously someone else. However, in Tony's eyes, they became the real murderer of everything. This scapegoat made Fury say it in a vain.
The matter was already serious enough, and the situation was complicated enough. Tony was still provoking conflicts within them at this time, making this superhero who had finally gathered on the table grudge against them. This made Nick Fury hate him so much that he almost wanted to strangle Tony to death here.
Of course, he could only think about such things. In real reality, he could only control his emotions. He said to these superheroes who didn't know what they were thinking.
"I can guarantee that the matter of the Dawn Knight has nothing to do with us. All this is done by a group of people we don't know, and we are still investigating their identities. And now, I hope you don't care about such unrelated things. We need to focus on the most important things in front of us."
"You mean those two weird guys? It's so interesting. I thought of another question. Why did they attack your S.H.E.L.D. Are you the secret gold reserve of the Federal Reserve? Even if they want to provoke the world, finding something iconic is no better than a base for you guys who are just sneaking. I think it's a better choice to be my Stark Building!"
Tony's words were very frivolous, but the meaning pointed out a key issue. That is motivation! The reason why Loki invaded this world, the reason why he and another unknown person from another world attacked S.H.E.L.D. At such a big risk, he caused so many casualties, and may even attract the attention of most superheroes in the world, but he cannot come up with a reasonable motivation. This is unlikely to look at it.
After hearing what he said, Bruce Banner, who had been silent, nodded.
"Things without motivation are not normal. If you say that, I would rather believe that you are hiding something from us. Mr. Director, if you really want us to help you, you'd better tell us the matter. I don't want to fight inexplicably, and I don't want to fight without meaning. So, you'd better give me a sufficient reason!"
If Tony's words can still be regarded as nonsense, then what Bruce Banner said must be taken seriously. After all, Tony has a relationship with S.H.E.L.D., and they can be said to be unclear. But Banner is different. If there is any problem, he can leave.
As soon as they left, Fury was even less sure to deal with the two powerful enemies.
So he thought about it and began to reveal something selectively.
"Well, I admit that I have hidden some things. But this thing doesn't need to be known to you. But if you want to know!"
"Of course, I don't want to be fooled like a fool, so no matter what it is, you'd better put it on the surface!"
Tony opened his mouth and made a conversation. When he heard him say this, most of the people present nodded. Almost everyone was interested in this possible motivation. Or they really wanted to know what the reason for their fight was!
"Well, since you all want to know."
Seeing that almost everyone had the same meaning, Director Fury sighed and prepared to speak out some information. This was expected, so he didn't feel much surprise.
"The core of all problems first appeared during World War II, and they had a very close relationship with the two people here. It was a treasure called the Cosmic Cube. And this thing is their goal!"
Hearing this name, the captain who had been silent and staring at everything that happened at the scene immediately stood up excitedly. He held the table hard and shouted at Director Fury.
"This is impossible. I have thrown that thing into the sea. How could it be..."
"I'm sorry, Captain. At the beginning, in order to find your trace, we searched the sea area extensively. Unfortunately, compared with your trace, we discovered earlier the whereabouts of the universe Rubik's Cube."
He explained to the captain in an apology, and Director Fury continued to explain.
"The Cosmic Cube has an incredible magical power. During World War II, it once threatened the safety of the world in the hands of our opponent Hydra. So after Captain, you threw it into the sea, many people felt glad and hoped that this dangerous thing would never reappear in the world. However, when we salvage it from the sea, this concept changes involuntarily."
"The power of the universe's Rubik's Cube is so powerful that anyone who has witnessed its power is very clear. When it is in the hands of Hydra, it is the most dangerous weapon. But when it is in our hands, it is not just this kind of situation. It is a treasure with infinite possibilities, and we quickly determined this!"
"So you kept him and attracted a terrible enemy. This is a classic plot. Should I say you are stupid, or do you have the courage?"
Tony, who had foresaw the development of the story, continued to maintain his sarcasm, but Fury's words immediately made him unable to laugh.
"It's true, Tony. But do you know who proposed the advice on keeping the Universe Cube? Yes, it's your father, Howard Stark. Where did you think your father's infinite energy plan started, and what is the prototype of his Ark Reactor? It all comes from the Universe Cube, the most incredible magical thing."
Nick Fury's words made Tony shut up immediately. Even if he was not forgiven, he would never slander even a single word when facing his father's issue. His father is someone with a special status in his heart, so facing the mistakes he had made before, Tony had to shut up his mouth properly.
At this time, Banner, who had not experienced World War II and was not very clear about it, began to ask.
"So, what exactly is that so-called universe cube? Why did it attract so many people to peek?"
"We have not yet been able to fully understand the power of the universe's Rubik's Cube, but according to what we have now, it has almost endless energy. And, in the issue of dimensions that transcend our understanding, it has extremely special properties."
"The events in Mexico made us realize that we had to take a critical step in the field of space, and the Cosmic Cube was our best choice. But we didn't expect that, shortly after we started this research, Loki and the terrible enemy came to the door. They took away the Cosmic Cube from us and also took away a very well-known scientist in this field! Eric Shavig, an expert in astrophysics!"
This name surprised Bruce Banner because he was so familiar with this name. Although he was an expert in radioactive rays, he did not have any professional intersection with Shavig. However, there were not many top scientists, so he was actually quite familiar with Shavig, who had the same identity. He even said that he could almost be considered a friend.
So he asked immediately.
"You mean, Shavig is in the hands of those two people now?"
"And the cosmic cube?"
Dr. Banner, the captain and Tony asked such questions one after another, and Director Fury nodded seriously.
"It's not wrong at all, everyone. So what we have to do now is to find them and defeat them. Stop them between what they do with the Cosmic Cube. Although we don't know what they will do with that thing, judging from the fact that they kidnapped Dr. Shavig, there must be some special conspiracy. So, we don't have much time left!"
