Chapter 103 Solid Backing
"It's not difficult to go to Asgard. Although the Rainbow Bridge has not been repaired yet, it's not troublesome to bring one more person back with the Universe Rubik's Cube."
Thor was not opposed to Ethan's desire to go to Asgard. In his opinion, it was a very normal thing for his friends to visit his home. He was even happy to be able to entertain his friends in Asgard.
"But I can't guarantee whether I can see my father."
Odin is not that easy to see. Even his friends cannot say that he can see Odin just by seeing him. After all, this is the ruler of Asgard.
"I believe His Majesty the King of God will definitely be willing to see me."
Thor didn't know why Ethan had such confidence, and he didn't want to ask, and talked directly with Ethan about some interesting things about Asgard, and patted his chest to promise that he would definitely entertain Ethan well. He also invited others by the way.
Tony Stark is quite interested in visiting a higher civilized country, and if nothing unexpected happens, he may join in the fun.
Although Captain America and Banner were interested, they did not speak because they were not very familiar with Thor, so they just sat there listening to the conversation between Thor and Ethan.
Fury, who had left for a while, soon came back. Looking at his expression, you can tell that the news he brought back was not very good.
"The World Security Council does not agree with going to war with the Chitaris."
The World Security Council does not agree to "remittingly" to start a war with alien civilizations. Without the consent of the World Security Council, such large-scale military operations cannot be implemented at all. It is only relying on S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and alien troops to fight head-on. Fury's mind has not broken yet. Even if there are those who are more combat power than ordinary people in front of him, it is an extremely stupid decision.
Ethan was stunned at first, wondering that these guys would make such a decision? Could they not see the key to the problem? But then he understood that the other party was not unable to see it, but found that this war would not give them any benefits.
What are the benefits of starting a war? No information about such a battle cannot be missed, because once it is promoted, the problems of aliens must be explained, and also why they have been hiding this information, etc., so this war is destined not to be known to the ordinary public, and the war that cannot be used for propaganda is equivalent to non-existence for them.
Fighting a war, no matter whether it is victory or failure in the end, requires a lot of resources. Considering the issue of post-war pensions, there is a lot of trouble in addition to the lack of benefits, this group of politicians certainly don’t want to.
What if the Zitaris attacked the earth in the future? They don’t care about this. They don’t know who is sitting in this position by that time. Let the next one solve it.
After thinking through this, Ethan gave up on the idea of persuading these people. Anyway, it was not himself who was in trouble and unlucky. He had done what he should do, and the other party was unhappy to accept "his kindness". He could not stick his hot face to the other person's cold butt. He might even be ridiculed and doubted his motives.
Ethan thought he wasn't that mean, so he decided not to care about this matter anymore.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do here."
Originally, he wanted to convince Thor to stay on Earth for a while, because once a war with the Chitari people was decided, the cosmic cube would be an indispensable tool.
There is no need to worry now, and Ethan is not ready to continue wasting time on Earth. He wants to negotiate with Odin earlier, and it is best to stay in Asgard to learn some of their knowledge.
Compared with the earth, Asgard has a more advanced civilization, especially in the integration of technology and magic, which is very reference-based.
"Ethan...the World Security Council hopes that you can leave the cosmic cube on Earth."
Ethan was thinking about what good things Asgard had when he heard Fury say this with a dark face.
He could see that Fury was simply reposting the original words of the World Security Council, but there might be some of Fury's own ideas, otherwise he would not have said this sentence here.
He did not believe that the World Security Council did not understand the entire situation. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has a very high degree of autonomy, they must report it to the World Security Council for information about things like the Rubik's Cube.
For those in the Council, they don’t care about the Zitarri people - anyway, the other party can’t hit the earth now, and they don’t care about the messy cosmic powerhouses. What they care about is that the universe cube, which was originally owned by them and almost represents infinite energy, cannot be taken away by a magician from another world.
Ethan didn't believe that they didn't know that this thing was about to leave Thor, but they didn't tell Thor to stay, but instead targeted him.
"Do those idiots think I'm easy to bully?"
Ethan believes in what you give me face and I will give you face. If you really treat me as a good temper, don’t blame me for squeaking my face in front of me.
Fury didn't expect Ethan to be so straightforward and call the directors of the World Security Council in front of him a fool. Although he agreed with this, he thought at most about it in his heart, even if he was dissatisfied, he would not say it in front of so many people.
As for the 'World Security Council just thinks you, Ethan, is relatively easy to bully, he also knows that this is true, but he knows that it will be a big problem if he says that.
He didn't know what Ethan's strength was. Just looking at how he could use the mind gem at will, it would be not too difficult to control everyone on an aerospace mothership and then do something crazy.
"After all, the universe's cube is of great importance, and the World Security Council takes it so directly to you..."
Ethan knew that these guys might want to bargain with him or something, but he was not interested in it at all. He waved his hand and signaled that Fury would not have to say these useless words to him: "Tell those idiots that I took the things, if I don't agree, throw a nuclear bomb at me."
The people present were speechless and thought that throwing nuclear bombs was too exaggerated. They absolutely did not expect that those guys could really do such things.
"I am not a powerful mage, but for me, there are too many ways to destroy a world, such as leaving a coordinate in this world."
"Coordinates? What coordinates?" Fury felt his eyelids twitching around, and he didn't think Ethan would leave a normal coordinate.
Ethan glanced at Fury, who was nervous, and did not directly answer his question, but slowly told a story.
"A Titan has been fighting against evil forces from the void for a long time, preventing this force from invading the material world and destroying everything... In his long-term battle against the demons in the void, he discovered the other party's true intention... This Titan told his compatriots about his discovery, but he was not understood and even criticized him in turn... The Titan finally made a decision, that is, to destroy all matter in the universe, and for this he formed a legion to destroy all matter."
Ethan looked at everyone, and everyone was listening to their own words with breath.
"Everywhere the legion passes will be destroyed, and all matter will not be left behind. The meaning of their existence is to destroy everything. The legion usually wanders in the void between the universe, constantly looking for the next world that can be destroyed."
The story was appropriately modified by Ethan, such as the universe, the void, etc., and he deliberately vaguely said it, giving everyone the feeling that "this legion may come from the void to this universe at any time."
Needless to say, the rest is more detailed. None of the people present is a fool. I fully understand the subtext of Ethan's words: Don't think I'm easy to bully, leave coordinates in minutes to attract this legion with the purpose of destroying everything!
As he said before, he didn't even need to take action on his own if he wanted to destroy a world. This terrible legion was enough to destroy the entire earth. No one felt that S.H.E.L.D. and the current earth could withstand the attacks of this level of legion.
Even though Ethan didn't use such an extreme method, considering that no one on his side had the ability to travel through other worlds, Ethan was naturally invincible, and he would fight and leave as much as he wanted. The guys from the World Security Council had no way to do anything about him.
Fury now agrees with Ethan's previous comments on those guys, and he is indeed a group of idiots.
Of course, he would never think that he was one of them, and even thought that throwing the World Security Council was a correct decision. At least he had heard some of the trump cards of Ethan, the mage - the big one could not bear it.
Ethan knew that his words would definitely arouse some people's dissatisfaction, including Iron Man Tony Stark, Captain America and others.
So he said a few more words: "This world is much more dangerous than they imagined. Be careful to provoke some existences that cannot be provoked. Those people will not warn first like me, but will directly destroy the earth."
Tony Stark's frown stretched out. Compared to the other people, he started out as an arms manufacturer and accepted this theory of "nuclear deterrence".
Ethan just said that he had some means and did not really use them. The fundamental reason why he said these words was that the world Security Council attempted to threaten him, so it was understandable that it was more intense.
Steve Rogers could understand it, but he didn't like this method very much. Of course, he was also dissatisfied with the World Security Council's approach, so he didn't know what to do for a while.
Bruce Banner pretended to be mute as a passerby as usual. He was a little envious of Ethan's courage to directly confront the "powerful forces".
Only Thor asked curiously what the name of the legion was.
