...

Listening to the echoing voice in the bridge, Nick Fury's face turned a bit dark.

Joking, the current sky carrier is at an altitude of over ten thousand meters. It's one thing for you to suddenly appear, but to be able to hear you speaking outside is another.

In this situation, there are only two possibilities.

One is that the sky carrier's communication system has been hacked by someone, and the other possibility is that the other party has the ability to transmit sound through the air to other places.

Regardless of which possibility, it's not a pleasant thing for Nick Fury.

"Agent Coulson, can you help me bring in Baron Angel?" Nick Fury, still with a stern face, showed no hint of his true thoughts.

Before Phil Coulson could execute the order, a voice sounded again:

"No need, Phil, I'll come in myself."

In just a few short words, Liu Ruian was still floating in the air outside the porthole for the first five characters, but by the last seven characters, he had already appeared beside Phil Coulson with a smile, patting the other's shoulder.

Faced with this bizarre scene, all the staff on the sky carrier fell into silence.

The difference was that those in the know, like Nick Fury, were speechless only because of how "unreserved" the person was.

After all, the sky carrier is one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s more important places. To just walk in like that shows a complete disregard for S.H.I.E.L.D.

As for those who were unaware, most were stunned by the mysterious abilities displayed by the person.

As for the remaining small part, it was because the person's current image was simply too perfect. Just a smile, and not only did women fall in love, but even many men couldn't help but "awaken" some abnormal tendencies, thus becoming fans of the person.

"Long time no see, how has everyone been?" Liu Ruian, seemingly oblivious to how shocking his actions were, waved his right hand and greeted with a smile.

Although Nick Fury was quite upset that the person had so easily breached the sky carrier's defense system, he couldn't help but be relieved when he thought about the person's capabilities.

Otherwise, just thinking about this person becoming his or even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s enemy, the atmosphere between the two sides would definitely not be as "harmonious" as it is now.

"Baron Angel, we have (big) trouble." Nick Fury, having composed himself, said.

"I've heard. The Cosmic Cube was stolen, and it was the one behind the big guy in New Mexico who took it." Liu Ruian shrugged and continued, "By the way, I heard that guy is also a god? Honestly, I'm very interested."

"Also?"

Those who could appear in the sky carrier's bridge were either high-level agents or trusted staff.

Almost everyone immediately seized on the key point in the person's words. The difference was that Nick Fury and the others thought the person was also referring to the previous Thor.

But those who were unaware, combined with the incomprehensible means the person had just displayed, many couldn't help but speculate that this tall, handsome guy, who even made men feel fond, might also be a god.

"Did the Seer tell you this?" Nick Fury, who had come down from the control panel, asked.

"Of course, didn't you tell him?" Liu Ruian, knowingly asking, had an innocent look on his face.

"Did he say how to solve this trouble?" Nick Fury, not answering the question, asked again.

"No." Liu Ruian shook his head and smiled, "He just asked me to come and help. By the way, he said he can help, but it can't be for free."

The atmosphere in the sky carrier's bridge, which had just returned to normal, was immediately silenced again by these words.

Joking, there are people and forces that cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D., but very few would so openly state that they can't help for free, especially in such a situation.

Even though Nick Fury had long known that the person loved "fair deals," he couldn't help but feel annoyed after hearing this.

But no matter how annoyed he was, in the current situation, as long as the crisis could be safely overcome, paying some price was not out of the question.

"Let's talk somewhere else." Nick Fury, suppressing his annoyance, said.

"Sure." Liu Ruian shrugged and said.

In no time, a group of people moved to the conference hall on the sky carrier.

Besides Nick Fury and Liu Ruian, only Captain America and Phil Coulson were present.

"Baron Angel, what are his conditions?" Without outsiders, Nick Fury asked more directly.

"He wants to borrow the Cosmic Cube for further research." Liu Ruian, sitting in a swivel chair and spinning around a few times like a child who had found a toy, answered.

Faced with this answer, Nick Fury was not at all surprised. After all, during the previous month of cooperation, it was already clear how important the Cosmic Cube was to the person.

It was just a bit strange to Nick Fury that, although the person had shown sufficient interest in the Cosmic Cube during the cooperation, there was no indication of wanting to possess it.

Otherwise, with the capabilities of this Baron Angel, it would be no problem to attack the base researching the Cosmic Cube and take it away.

Especially with the ability to ignore obstacles and teleport, even if more perfect security measures were implemented, it would be in vain.

But if his previous feelings were wrong, why would the person bring up the Cosmic Cube again at this time?

"Just for research?" Nick Fury asked.

"Well, not just for research." Liu Ruian shrugged, with an apologetic look for lying earlier.

"What does he really mean?" Nick Fury, knowing it wouldn't be that simple, asked expressionlessly.

"Alright, the guy's point is that the Cosmic Cube isn't meant for humans." Liu Ruian, stopping the swivel chair, continued, "At the very least, keeping it on Earth will only bring great danger to humans, like this time."

"So, the Seer plans to establish a dedicated laboratory for researching the Cosmic Cube outside of Earth."

"This way, even if a similar situation arises, it won't directly harm humans."

"Even if we can't stop the invasion, at least we'll have enough time to prepare, instead of being caught off guard like this time."

Faced with this answer, Nick Fury couldn't help but be moved.

The value of the Cosmic Cube goes without saying. Unfortunately, from the time S.H.I.E.L.D. obtained it decades ago to now, the research results on the Cosmic Cube have been limited.

Of course, it's not that there have been no results.

With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities, using the energy from the Cosmic Cube is not difficult, otherwise, Tony Stark wouldn't have discovered the large-scale weapons of mass destruction created using the Cosmic Cube's energy in the original plot.

But these research results are just superficial compared to the true purpose of the Cosmic Cube. Further research not only requires a huge amount of human, material, and financial resources but also doesn't guarantee success.

As for the capabilities of Umbrella Technology Corporation, even Nick Fury knew he didn't know everything, but the capabilities they have shown are enough to prove that they have the qualifications to join the research on the Cosmic Cube.

And it must be admitted that the suggestion to establish a laboratory on an extraterrestrial planet for this research is indeed a good one.

S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't have this capability before, but Umbrella Technology Corporation does.

Just look at the journey from Earth to Venus, which took only about an hour, more convenient than the morning and evening rush hours for commuters.

If a planet far enough from Earth could be chosen as a base, it would indeed give humans enough time to prepare for similar events in the future, instead of being caught off guard like this time.

As for whether the person would take the opportunity to possess the Cosmic Cube, Nick Fury wasn't unaware of this possibility, but he quickly realized the key issue in the previous words and temporarily put this thought aside.

"Baron Angel, you just said to stop the invasion?" Nick Fury, clearly knowing that the person, though unreliable, never speaks without basis, asked with a serious face.

"Right, the purpose of stealing the Cosmic Cube this time is to bring an alien fleet to invade Earth." Liu Ruian shrugged, with a matter-of-fact expression.

"Alien fleet? Invade Earth?"

Faced with this answer, not only was Nick Fury stunned, but even Captain America Steve Rogers and Phil Coulson, who were listening, were shocked.

Even though the two had heard about the theft of the Cosmic Cube, they didn't expect it to involve an alien invasion, a scenario that usually only exists in movies and novels.

As for the accuracy of the information, the three present had no doubts.

Joking, with the capabilities shown by the Seer, anything clearly stated has never been wrong.

Add to that the intelligence about the evil god Loki and the ability of the Cosmic Cube to open a portal through space and time, the credibility of this prediction is self-evident.

But this also means that the trouble humans are about to face is far more than just an Asgardian god coming to Earth to rob.

Thus, the same thought involuntarily appeared in the minds of the three:

"This is a big problem!!"
