Chapter 50 Earth's Youngest T0 Threat
Everything happened too suddenly.
Fury saw Melinda's tragic death, his face expressionless, but his clenched fist crushed the corner of the table.
Listening to Duval's unbridled narration of his next actions, Fury suddenly understood Duval's purpose.
"Duval wants to use the Rainbow Bridge to transport Xenomorphs to Asgard? As reinforcements?"
Fury immediately understood that a war must have broken out in Asgard, and he finally knew what Duval had meant when he mentioned the agreement he had reached with Thor.
Duval, that madman, had actually participated in a war between high-level species, pushing the Xenomorphs to the forefront of the war as weapons!
Fury knew without a doubt that the war in Asgard would be extremely dangerous, a great battle between a group of terrifying guys who wielded Godly Power, causing immeasurable destruction.
"You're insane, you'll drag Earth into a war it shouldn't be involved in," Fury said, his voice low.
Duval glanced down at the earpiece in his hand and said, "Is there a difference? If S.H.I.E.L.D. had any ambition, it should have done the same thing long ago, forcibly researching and manipulating things that shouldn't be under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control. Now it's just out of control. You've lost an excellent subordinate and greatly enhanced my power."
"It seems you planned this from the beginning, including the pheromone control of the Xenomorphs. You deliberately wanted me to know. Your real method of controlling the Xenomorphs is mind control."
"Very imaginative, Holmes," Duval neither denied nor admitted.
Fury kept thinking, what is the relationship between Matriarchs? If the offspring of different Matriarchs meet when Duval isn't around, will they fight each other?
This is very important, as it relates to whether Fury should continue to invest huge sums to deal with Duval.
"As long as I still control a Matriarch, it won't be long before I completely crack your secret," Fury said.
Immediately, the chips on the necks of many Xenomorphs in the field lit up red, and they looked like they were about to explode.
But Duval reacted even faster, raising the Thunder God's Hammer and summoning a sky full of lightning strikes. The power of each lightning bolt wasn't actually strong, but it was more than enough to interfere with the signal and destroy the chips.
It would just make the Xenomorphs suffer a little. As long as it wasn't fatal, they could always recover.
"It seems I underestimated Godly Power. From now on, I will create a special file for you and organize professional personnel to conduct research on you."
Fury's voice didn't betray any emotion, but this coldness was precisely the greatest expression of emotion.
"No one likes to fail. So, perhaps we should discuss the next topic: Are you interested in the war that broke out in Asgard? Maybe we can reach a consensus in some areas," Duval said casually, directing all the Xenomorphs to wipe out the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents present.
"You just used tricks to fool me, and now you're talking about cooperation? Do you want me to provide you with more Xenomorphs? Or do you think you've gained a slight advantage in intelligence and you see me as a fool?"
Even Fury, who prided himself on being a man of self-interest, felt a headache at Duval's seamless transition.
Sometimes, he really wanted to pry open Duval's skull and study what dangerous things this guy was thinking about all day long.
"That's impossible. I won't cooperate with someone like you unless you give up control of the Xenomorphs," Fury said, feeling that he sounded too righteous when he said this, which didn't fit his persona.
"That's a pity. Since that's the case, there's nothing to talk about. The way you're acting is like blaming your entire S.H.I.E.L.D.'s incompetence on me—did I stop you from controlling the Xenomorphs? You stole my little darling, then imprisoned it, and ultimately failed. Is that my fault?"
Duval looked around and realized that all the filming equipment present had been destroyed, so he raised his head, spread his hands towards the sky, and made a helpless gesture: "Then, you're in big trouble, Nick Fury. You've committed the crimes of theft and illegal detention. You're provoking the ruler of a species."
Fury became more vigilant. He couldn't judge how Asgard would view Duval. After all, it was still unknown what position an Earthling who wielded the Thunder God's Hammer held in Asgard.
This newly promoted Thunder God was now expanding his army in an aggressive manner, even defrauding the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., making such a global organization endorse him. Such behavior...
"You're so eager to show your loyalty to Asgard. I guess you've already gotten an Asgardian green card," Fury asked.
Hearing this, Duval threw the earpiece to Thor, who looked confused.
Thor didn't know what a green card was. Seeing Duval's expression, he naturally regarded the term as a cold joke unique to Midgard.
"Thor, these people say I'm trying to become an Asgardian through this war, which is the complete opposite of your situation."
"No, at least we have one thing in common. We don't want to become people of the other's world," Thor said, looking at the Xenomorphs around him that had fallen silent again, feeling his mouth dry. "Let's not waste time on idiots. I'll summon the Rainbow Bridge now to transport troops! After the war is over, you can become whoever you want!"
Thor had also been figuring out Duval's personality during this time, knowing that Duval wasn't interested in Asgardian citizenship. So he could logically guess that Duval wanted to step onto a higher platform and participate in a more grand war to prove his own value and talent.
This was normal. A large part of the values Thor had been taught since childhood were like this.
Oh, perhaps Duval was very interested in the Frost Giants and wanted to capture a group of Frost Giants alive for parasitism.
Thor didn't care about this. He also wanted to take an army back to assist Loki through this operation. He would prove to all the citizens of Asgard that even if he lost his Godly Power, he could still provide help to Asgard. He was still a qualified Asgardian warrior!
"Loki should have taken over the entire Asgard. I can help him, and he will be very happy. In the future, he will be the king of Asgard, and I..." Thor shook his head. It was already hopeless. He had already given up.
"Heimdall!! I know you can hear me. You saw my efforts. Now, open the Rainbow Bridge and send me and the reinforcements I invited back!!"
"Heimdall!" Thor roared at the sky, his voice hoarse.
Duval stood in the distance, watching quietly.
Soon, an incomparably brilliant rainbow descended from the sky, brewing with the power to traverse space, shining upon Thor.
Under Duval's command, the surrounding Xenomorphs began to rush into the light of the Rainbow Bridge one after another. When there wasn't enough space on the ground, they climbed on top of each other, piling up to charge inside.
This was just the first wave.
The second Rainbow Bridge appeared in succession, successively transporting batches of Xenomorphs to Asgard.
Duval carefully sensed and confirmed that the Xenomorphs had arrived in Asgard. Even with countless distant spaces in between, his mental link with the Xenomorphs remained stable, and he was immediately relieved.
"Is this the Rainbow Bridge that sent Thor to Earth back then? It's really good technology," Fury said.
"Don't even think about it. This isn't just simple high technology, it also includes the use of high-level Godly Power, a field you can never touch."
"Time will tell Thor that he made a major mistake by letting such dangerous creatures as the Xenomorphs go to a battlefield they shouldn't be on." Fury's face was very ugly.
In this way, he would have no way to destroy and control all the Xenomorphs.
Even though Duval had sent away the army, and the power around him seemed to have weakened to the extreme, making it the perfect time to strike, Fury had a headache just thinking about the batch of Xenomorphs in Asgard. He really didn't like leaving hidden dangers behind.
Especially when the hidden dangers were endless.
He couldn't go to Asgard to wipe out the Xenomorphs, even if he called Captain Marvel back to Earth, he couldn't do it.
"You need to change your way of thinking, Agent. Maybe, even if I didn't send the Xenomorph army to Asgard, you wouldn't be able to deal with me? Do you want to guess if I showed you all the Xenomorphs, or did I secretly hide a few?" Duval's voice was like the whisper of a Devil.
Once the lurking Xenomorphs erupted, it was unknown how much damage they would cause.
Fury felt that at least he still held a Queen in his hand. With this Queen, he could continue to advance the research, and maybe one day he would really find a way to fight Duval.
Duval used mind control on the Xenomorphs? Fury was already thinking about which superhuman who was proficient in mental abilities he should find to try to control the Xenomorphs in the same way.
With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s massive size, countless knowledge inheritances, and talent reserves, as long as there was enough time...
"The war has already begun, Fury," Duval suddenly said.
"War? Asgard?"
"No, it's the war between you and me. Even now, you haven't really understood me."
Duval suddenly sighed deeply, and his voice became extremely calm, sounding like a compromise with reality.
Fury frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, but what could it be? He was on the Sky Carrier, could Duval possibly pull out a super Xenomorph that could fire at the sky?
Suddenly, Fury stood up abruptly and quickly tapped a few times on the virtual screen in front of him: "Quick, have Doctor Cliff increase the power of the A-28 Mental Shielding Device—"
"It's always been running at the highest power. Cliff has already thought of this... Damn it, the Matriarch is mutilating itself, it's destroying its own head with its Inner Jaw!!"
Fury was stunned in place, his face uncertain, and finally he clicked on a screen, entered the password, and looked at the bloodiness in the picture.
Splattered blood landed on the Adamantium, making a sizzling sound and rising wisps of smoke.
Two scientists who were too close had already been contaminated by a few drops of blood and were struggling on the ground.
Fury's face changed completely.
How far away was this? It even had to break through the blockade of the mental shielding device to issue the order for the Queen to commit suicide! "Surprised? I have to say, your protection work is very well done, it has never found a chance to escape, but that's right, as the world's number one organization, it would be too sorry for your professionalism if you didn't build the prison without any loopholes with Adamantium." Duval's voice was calm and a little scary.
Fury looked at the screen in front of him and was silent for a few seconds: "This is the Matriarch..."
"Queen, I like to call the Xenomorph leader with reproductive ability, the Queen."
"This is the second Queen, extremely precious, and you didn't even talk to me about the conditions of the transaction, and you just gave it an order to commit suicide?"
"Cunning probing techniques, you are constantly trying to extract information."
Duval pointed out Fury's rhetoric, but continued: "What makes you think that it is difficult for a Queen to be born among the Xenomorphs? Do you want to guess again, how many Xenomorphs have I released on this planet? Among them, how many can transform into Queens, and under what circumstances will they become Queens?"
Duval's words made Fury's heart sink to the bottom.
Duval continued: "That's why I emphasized that you don't understand me, and you don't understand the Xenomorphs. You haven't even figured out the positioning of the Xenomorphs. This is a highly ordered species that can do extreme things for survival and the continuation of the species. And I..."
He crushed the headset in his hand little by little: "Am the God of this species."
Fury looked at the disconnected communication and knew what Duval's last sentence meant.
Not the Thunder God, but...
Xenomorph God!
"Looks like we've provoked a troublesome guy. Although I still disdain his self-proclaimed godhood, it seems we've made a serious mistake," Fury said heavily.
Coulson, still wrapped in bandages and not fully recovered, stood behind Fury at some point and said, "Using the result to justify the cause is never a good habit, but it allows us to see more clearly."
"And what result do you see, Coulson?"
"Duval is now the Thunder God. Regardless of how Asgard views it, we should see him that way. This means: Duval is difficult to kill by conventional means, and coupled with the potential threat posed by the Xenomorphs, it means..."
"Duval has become a T0 Level threat in the shortest amount of time and at the youngest age."
...
Asgard.
Loki was furious.
With multiple planets raided and already lost, he was conducting war mobilization.
Heimdall had activated the Rainbow Bridge without his, the king's, permission!
Below the throne, several people exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
"It must be Thor!"
"Thor is back?"
Loki looked at these people who had become emotionally charged, took a deep breath, and revealed a smile: "Yes, my brother is back, but there is unfortunate news, he has not recovered his Godly Power. Participating in this kind of war will be extremely dangerous."
Loki stood up, looking at the different expressions on the faces below, focusing for a moment on the faces of the Warriors Three.
"Do you think I don't want to bring him back? But I can't do that! I'm doing it to protect him! With his personality, he will fight to the death with the Frost Giants!"
Loki became more and more sentimental as he spoke, to the point that even Sif, who knew his treacherous nature well, almost believed him.
"I know that my ascension to the throne makes you dissatisfied, but I have no choice! If it were only up to my brother..."
Loki's words stopped abruptly. He realized that Thor was entering the Asgard Palace at an astonishing speed.
The gate burst open.
Amidst a series of astonished gazes, a large pile of unknown creatures poured in, clustering around a tearful Thor.
"My good brother, say no more, I will not give you the opportunity to fight alone!"
Loki: "..."
He looked at these familiar creatures, and thought of the person who had brought him shame, his entire face almost turned blue.
