Chapter 101
Ethan's approach is not without hidden dangers. His behavior is like quietly tampering with the switch of the next door, connecting a line to it for his own use. If the owner finds it, it will certainly be troublesome.
But from a certain level, almost all mages have done such things, such as Ancient One often extracted energy from dark space for his own use.
Compared to what Ethan did, he was nothing, that is, occasionally "using the electricity from the next door to charge his mobile phone." Compared to the huge energy contained in a universe, what he had to do was this level.
Holding the soul gem in his hand, Ethan looked at everyone present.
After he explained his behavior and did not continue to make the mind gems appear in those strange things, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Fury was still a little worried, but he didn't have any good way to deal with Ethan, so he could only stare at him as much as possible, hoping that he would not do anything that would harm the world.
"What are you going to do with this Infinity Stone?"
Before Ethan thought about this question carefully, he tried to get in touch with the mind gem. After knowing the details of the Infinity gem, he was sure that the most useful thing for him was the space gem, and the rest did not have much effect.
The mind gem may be able to strengthen his mental power, but I don’t know if this reinforcement has any sequelae? Will it leave a mark on his spirit in the universe? These are not certain, which makes him dare not easily use the mind gem to urge his strength.
He can't use the power gem at all. With his current physical fitness, he is only exposed to the power gem. There is a high probability that he will be impacted by the huge energy contained in it and will not even survive his soul.
The time gem is in the hands of Kama Taj's mages. Not to mention that he has a good relationship with Gu Yi, he can't get it even if it doesn't matter. The reason is very simple, he can't beat Gu Yi.
The reality gems were sealed. He knew that in about a year, the nine major countries would have a certain degree of spatial overlap, and several space cracks could be found on the earth that could travel to several other countries. It seemed that the unattended reality gems were easy to obtain.
But he didn't mention whether he could be as lucky as Jane Foster to directly encounter the reality gem, even if he got it, he didn't know how to remove the reality gem from the ether.
Compared to the mind gems sealed in the scepter, the situation of ether particles is much more troublesome, and he is not sure whether he can truly control the power of ether particles.
He can't get the remaining soul gems now. If he wants to get them, he can only wait until he snatched them from Thanos in the future.
After counting, only the space gems have the greatest effect on him, and the space gems in the universe's Rubik's Cube state has the most stable energy and can be easily used by him.
Therefore, all he wants is space gemstones, and there is no need for him to occupy the soul gemstones.
"Leave it to Thor to bring back Asgard. I think the God King Odin can completely keep this spiritual gem."
In this world, Odin has not really shown his strength, and he is not sure how strong this god king is. However, there is still some information that can be used as a reference: Thanos only started to attack Asgard and Earth after Odin and Ancient One passed away one after another.
Before these two people died, even though he knew the location of the gem, he had never taken action. At most, he would win over Loki and use Loki as a pawn to see if he could take advantage of the loophole to get the things in his hand.
Although it is not possible to conclude that Thanos is afraid of them, he should be afraid. Perhaps he feels that even if he can win, he will suffer heavy losses, which is very unfavorable to his next plan. Therefore, he avoids direct confrontation and waits quietly for the right opportunity.
"Are you going to hand him over to Thor to take him back to Asgard?" Fury seemed a little surprised at Ethan's decision.
"What? Is there anything strange about this?"
"No, I'm curious that you don't want to leave it?" Fury pointed to Ethan's hand holding the soul gem: "Following your behavior just now, it doesn't seem like you're not interested in this thing."
Ethan glanced at his fist holding the Infinity Stone and admitted his purpose very simply: "This gem is not helpful to me, I want the Rubik's Cube even more."
At the beginning, Ethan repeatedly hinted in his words that he wanted to get the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but he did not directly express his purpose like this time.
When he told his true goal, everyone present had different reactions.
Maria Hill, the chief adjutant of SHIELD, first reaction was to refuse, but she was stopped by Fury, who realized what he was going to say.
"If you can help the Earth resolve this crisis, the universe cube can be handed over to you."
"Director!"
Maria Hill never expected Fury to promise to hand over the Universe Cube to Ethan so easily. She felt that this decision was too hasty, and the matter involved in the Universe Cube was very complicated, and it was not an item that S.H.E.L.D. could make a decision at will.
But Fury couldn't say anything about it. Didn't he know this? He knew it too much. Fury even had a foreshadowing of the scene after Ethan took away the Rubik's Cube, he was "beaten" by the directors of the World Security Council.
But does he have any other choice? He has not. He has seen Ethan's determination to win the Cosmic Cube. He does not think SHIELD has the ability to stop him.
What's more, to a certain extent, the Universe Cube is no longer in the hands of SHIELD. Ethan took the Universe Cube back from Loki. The Universe Cube is his spoil. What qualifications does SHIELD have to ask for it from Ethan?
Is the Universe Rubik's Cube from S.H.I.E.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.
Even Thor is more qualified to ask Ethan for the Cosmic Cube of the Universe than S.H.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.
Considering that Thor took the initiative to follow Hawkeye to "rescue" Selvig, Fury could already determine that the universe's cube would fall into Thor's hands and could not return to his hands, so he simply made a favor.
As for how Ethan discusses the ownership of the Universe Rubik's Cube with Thor, it's not something SHIELD should care about. Maybe the relationship between them is better, and it may not be possible to negotiate it in just a few words.
From the perspective of the earth, Fury hopes that Ethan can hold the universe cube. He doesn't care whether the other party recognizes this favor or not, because this will not allow both Infinity Stones to be obtained by Asgard. Fury thinks this situation is more beneficial to the earth.
Perhaps the ancient Earthlings worshiped Asgard's Assa tribe as gods, but modern people definitely do not want a group of real gods on the heads of Earthlings.
Some people present could guess some of his ideas, such as Ethan.
Some people do not understand everything, but they also agree that Ethan takes away the Rubik's Cube, such as Captain America Steve Rogers. He feels that dangerous things like the Rubik's Cube will only bring endless trouble to the earth.
Some people agree, but some people disagree. For example, Tony Stark, Iron Man, doesn't want to let the Rubik's Cube be taken away. He doesn't want to help S.H.E.L.D. get this thing back, but just wants to take it away and research it himself.
He already knew that the Ark Reactor invented and improved by his father was actually the product created by studying the universe's Rubik's Cube. Tony Stark really wanted to study this thing himself and see how magical the universe's Rubik's Cube is.
Ethan's response to this was very simple, giving him a promise of "there are opportunities to make you slowly struggle". So the only person who jumped out to object was bought by Ethan.
Banner still pretended to be dead and didn't say anything. No matter whether he was staying or sending it out, there was no room for him to insert it. Even though he was very moved, he wanted to study the universe cube. However, he felt that he had enough trouble, so it would be better to be an inconspicuous passerby quietly.
The only ones left are Black Widow who is not present and Thor. Black Widow is an agent from S.H.E.L.D. He will not jump out and sing the opposite tune when Nick Fury speaks.
The only Thor who may be in trouble will actually not be an obstacle to Ethan.
Because Ethan knew that Odin didn't want the two Infinity Gems to be too close, in the original plot, Odin directly sent the ether particles to the collector after saving the universe Rubik's Cube and getting the reality gem ether particles. He asked the other party to help keep it.
It was precisely after knowing this situation that Ethan made the decision to hand over the soul gem to Asgard and then fight for the power to keep the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
"As a time traveler who understands the plot, you should rely on the plot to benefit yourself!"
He didn't think there was anything wrong with him. His actions did not hurt anyone, and what he did was even quite good for the world.
Not to mention anything else, at least Loki is trapped by him. As long as Thor and Black Widow move fast enough, Selvig will not open the portal, and New York will not become a battlefield for fighting fire with the Zitaris. How many people will this save?
He didn't think that after the fight was really going to be like in the movie, he would not see a dead civilian. Even if he was not performed directly in the movie, he knew from the subsequent plot that the Battle of New York caused quite serious casualties.
