Chapter 82

"Prepare a set of power armor for the Hulk?"

The thought that popped into Phil Coulson's mind made him feel uneasy.

"Ha, how destructive can the Hulk be?"

"That's absolutely on a catastrophic level!"

"Even if this catastrophic level is currently limited to within Earth, it still poses a huge threat to all of humanity."

"What? You say the Hulk in the movies isn't that destructive?"

"That's right, in the first phase of the Marvel movies, this green giant didn't show much destructive power."

"But don't forget, in 'The Incredible Hulk,' the green giant's blood created another being, the Abomination."

"Alright, even if we don't consider that aspect, just the characteristic of getting stronger the angrier he gets, if paired with suitable power armor—"

"Ha ha... Phil Coulson found it hard to imagine how powerful a Hulk who could fly, burrow underground, dive into the sea, and even fight in space would be."

"Even though Dr. Bruce Banner has learned to control his emotions, you can never be too careful."

"If something goes wrong, who knows what kind of problems a Hulk with power armor could cause."

"The only thing to be grateful for is that the metal box for the Hulk is not only smaller than Captain America's, but much smaller."

"Given Dr. Bruce Banner's size after transforming, let alone a full set of power armor, this small metal box isn't even enough for a half-suit."

"Is this also power armor?" To ensure his guess was correct, Phil Coulson asked.

"It probably isn't. With such a small box, even with nanotechnology, it's impossible to fit a layer of power armor on that green giant." Liu Rui, continuing to feign ignorance, said with a look of longing:

"I think it's more likely to be a weapon. Tsk tsk, if he had a suitable weapon, he probably wouldn't have lost so quickly, right?"

Phil Coulson's mouth twitched at this answer, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, Steve Rogers, after quickly mastering the 'Patriot' power armor, issued a command, and the super-cool armor quickly returned to its box form.

"Alright, since there's nothing for me to do here, I'll leave for a bit." After delivering the item, Liu Rui stood up and said:

"By the way, give me a communicator so you can contact me if anything happens."

Phil Coulson wanted to ask what else Liu Rui had to do, but considering his background, he held back and had someone bring a mini-communicator.

"If you find that god, remember to notify me. I really want to know how strong he is."

Liu Rui didn't give Phil Coulson a chance to respond and disappeared with a "Biu~."

Looking at where Liu Rui had vanished, Phil Coulson remained silent for a while before speaking:

"Captain, what do you think of the 'Patriot' power armor?"

"The Seer said this armor was custom-made for me and would self-destruct if anything went wrong," Steve Rogers, who understood the implications, replied.

"I see." Though he had expected a similar answer, Phil Coulson still felt a bit disappointed.

"Phil, I need some time to get used to this 'Patriot.' Can you find me a spacious place?" Steve Rogers, looking at the metal box, no, the metal cube, said.

"Of course, follow me. It's fully equipped, I promise you'll be satisfied." Phil Coulson, taking the lead, said with a smile.

After leaving the helicarrier, Liu Rui didn't return to the Umbrella Technology headquarters or even leave the helicarrier.

Instead, he replaced a S.H.I.E.L.D. staff member in a blind spot of the surveillance and installed the equipment on this large "aircraft," which looked good but wasn't that great.

Liu Rui had long planned to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.

Despite being "parasitized" by HYDRA for decades and almost being completely taken over, S.H.I.E.L.D. still had considerable strength.

Especially in some small areas, like Nick Fury's vehicle, artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, weapon systems, flight systems, and handheld plasma generators.

Even the handheld plasma generator, which easily cut a large hole in the road and looked like a flashlight, represented high technological prowess.

Not to mention, since S.H.I.E.L.D.'s establishment, who knows how many good things they had scavenged from various sources.

Last time, if Liu Rui hadn't wanted to waste time and hadn't planned to confront S.H.I.E.L.D. head-on, he wouldn't have just taken a small portion from the special items storage.

Even though that small portion included some things he still couldn't figure out, the gains were still significant.

The reason he hadn't infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. before was that Liu Rui initially lacked the capability and the motivation.

After all, he had just arrived, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was already strong, so there was no need to do this.

As for the current action, it was easier to explain. Loki, the evil god, would likely lead the Chitauri army to invade Earth early.

And according to Loki's plans, the helicarrier would likely face significant danger soon, just like in the original plot.

In such a chaotic situation, S.H.I.E.L.D. would be in disarray, making it easier to take advantage of the confusion.

Of course, Liu Rui didn't plan to break in forcefully yet. The mini-quantum terminal he brought would quietly hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s basic systems.

Just like in 'The Avengers,' when Tony Stark boarded the helicarrier.

Once the chaos began, things would be easier.

After handling this, Liu Rui, now back as Baron Angel, didn't leave the helicarrier but approached a certain woman.

"Hi, Natasha, long time no see." Liu Rui, who suddenly appeared in front of her, greeted with a smile.

Unlike the last time, the Black Widow before him had clearly changed in appearance and demeanor.

Her figure was more curvaceous, her features more refined, and she was even taller, clearly the result of using the gene optimization serum.

It was obvious that the castrated "elimination" version of the advanced gene optimization serum he had given her had been used.

"Long time no see, Emparis." Natasha Romanoff, her eyes flashing with a hint of light, smiled.

"You look different. It seems that guy's stuff is really good." Liu Rui, who had thoroughly "enjoyed" the view, said with a smile.

Despite the invasive gaze, even though Natasha Romanoff was past the age of shyness, she still felt a bit strange at the images that flashed through her mind.

"Are you here to help?" Suppressing her strange feelings, Natasha Romanoff asked.

"Yeah, I was planning to do something else, but that guy called me." Shrugging helplessly, Liu Rui said:

"What can I do, I owe him, and I'm not too worried about you."

"Don't worry about me. You should be more concerned about what that god is planning to do on Earth."

Natasha Romanoff knew how strong this guy was. Her worries about the busy person in the lab immediately eased.

As for the last part, other women might be touched, but for the Black Widow, it didn't elicit much of a reaction, at least not on the surface.

Glancing at the lab behind her, Liu Rui, using his X-ray vision, easily saw a familiar figure and said:

"I asked him before. He said this person came to Earth to lead an alien combat race to invade."

"The Cosmic Cube is the key to opening a portal, so he took it first."

Natasha Romanoff, like Phil Coulson, didn't doubt this.

Come on, though this guy might seem unreliable, he hasn't been wrong in this area so far.

"What's his plan?" Natasha Romanoff, picturing the person in her mind, asked.

"He didn't say, but since I'm here, as long as the enemy isn't too powerful, it shouldn't be a problem." Liu Rui, shaking his head, replied:

"Besides, I think that guy won't let the aliens invade Earth, after all, Umbrella Technology is on Earth."

As Nick Fury's absolute confidant, Natasha Romanoff naturally knew about Umbrella Technology.

But thinking about the several transactions between that guy and S.H.I.E.L.D., she said:

"Let's hope so."

Before meeting Natasha Romanoff again, Liu Rui hadn't thought about reigniting old feelings and having a good time.

Though he didn't lack women, the feeling of having a top-tier woman like the Black Widow was incomparable to some "ornaments."

However, seeing that she had no such intentions, he couldn't pester her like an ordinary man. Shrugging, he said:

"Seeing you like this, I'm relieved. You'll be very busy with this, so I won't disturb you."
