A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 174 Cosmic Cube
"Alright, guys, and two captains, now it's your turn to shine!" Seeing that the spaceships and ground defense cannons were all being destroyed one by one, Li Wei took the opportunity to open a portal to the S.H.I.E.L.D. building and said to the rest of the people on the spaceship.

Upon hearing this, Peggy Carter didn't hesitate and went through the portal with her shield.

Steve Rogers followed suit, but just as he was about to pass through the portal, he was stopped by Levi.

“Captain, I think you need this.” Li Wei said, handing over a shield, but it wasn’t the one Howard had originally made; it was a forged product of Li Wei himself.

However, it's not any of the shields on his secondary skill list.

Captain America is used to the small, nimble round shield he used before, which has good defensive capabilities, while most of the shields on Levi's skill list are heavy, large shields, which he might not be used to.

So this shield was actually an experimental product that Li Wei tried to create himself by combining the materials recognized by the system with the magic of Kamar-Taj.

With Li Wei's strength skyrocketing, he has begun to feel somewhat dissatisfied with the creations on his secondary profession skill panel.

Therefore, I want to try to develop new products using my own strength.

However, the initial attempts were not very successful.

Although the items created are usable, their effects are much worse than those shown on the skill panel.

I don't know what the underlying principle is.

It's not as good as what's on the skill panel, but it's still much better than simply shaping materials.

For example, this new shield for Steve Rogers.

Although it wasn't made with Vibranium (a premium material), it combines two high-grade materials, Fel Iron and Adamantite, and is imbued with certain magical abilities.

While it may be slightly less durable than the one made by Howard or Peggy Carter, it can significantly improve the user's endurance and agility.

Overall, it's pretty good; it's definitely much better than the ordinary alloy shield that Steve Rogers currently has.

"Thank you!" Steve Rogers took the shield and tried it out. It felt much better than the one he was using now, and it gave him a very comfortable feeling, just like Peggy's sword. He immediately realized that this was the magical equipment that Peggy had mentioned, and he did not refuse it.

After switching to a different shield, he immediately passed through the portal and caught up with Peggy Carter.

Jessica, Bullseye, Frank, Bronsky, and Phil Coulson and Melinda May, who had been rescued by the two captains earlier, followed the two captains one by one.

Finally, there were Tony and Levi.

As for Natasha and Yelena, their task is to pilot the spaceship.

“Come with me. I think I know roughly where Alexander Pierce will go. We need to split up!” Peggy Carter said after everyone had arrived and she had already surveyed the surroundings.

They were in a passageway on the ground floor of the Tri-Wing Building.

When Li Wei opened the portal, he was naturally thinking about Alexander Pierce's location.

However, it was clear that the magic gate, which was usually quite mysterious, did not open very accurately this time, as there was hardly anyone in the passage.

However, after observing for a while, Peggy Carter quickly determined their location without needing Phil Coulson and Melinda May, two active S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who followed behind, to lead the way.

As a veteran director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Peggy Carter is quite familiar with the Tri-Wing Building.

The opening scene of the movie Ant-Man, where the first Ant-Man, Hank Pym, questions Howard about replicating his research, takes place in the Tri-Wing Building.

That was in 1989.

However, it can be seen from the movie footage that the Tri-Wing was not fully completed at that time.

However, the main body is already completed.

Otherwise, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't have moved in back then.

Of course, more than a decade has passed since then, during which three different bureau chiefs have been appointed, and the interior of the Tri-Wing Building has certainly undergone several renovations.

The changes were even more dramatic after Nick Fury took office. However, the main structure of the building remained largely unchanged.

More importantly, the director is Nick Fury, whose distrustful nature has both advantages and disadvantages.

The disadvantages are self-evident.

The advantage is that he might not even tell his old superior, Alexander Pierce, about some special secret passages.

Therefore, Alexander Pierce most likely used the regular emergency exit used by high-ranking officials.

Of course, there is more than one of these emergency exits.

The location of these passages is not yet known to Phil Collison and Melinda May, who are currently only Level 6 agents.

On the contrary, it was the old director, Peggy Carter, who knew.

So next, Peggy Carter divided everyone into three teams, led by herself, Phil Coulson, and Melinda May respectively.

Although the others had also learned about the internal structure of the Tri-Wing building before they arrived, they had also learned about it from Peggy Carter.

But it's still not as familiar as these three "natives".

The first team naturally consists of Peggy Carter himself, plus Captain America and Bullseye.

Phil Coulson was accompanied by Tony and Frank.

Melinda's team consists of Jessica and Bronsky.

As for Li Wei?

They had already disappeared before they were divided into teams.

To everyone except Tony, Levi was always mysterious, so no one paid much attention to him.

Moreover, their main task now is to capture Alexander Pierce.

But Tony knew what Levi had been up to.

Just as the three teams were acting separately, Li Wei had already appeared outside a heavily guarded secret room at the deepest part of the Tri-Wing Building.

The password to this secret room is known only to Nick Fury within the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, such tight defenses were basically useless against Li Wei.

It's just a matter of opening the door again.

He had already appeared inside the secret room.

In the very center of the secret room, a special metal combination lock box lay quietly.

Li Wei walked up to the box but did not touch it directly.

Instead, they directly unleashed the Time Stone.

Less than a minute later, Li Wei put away the Time Stone and then entered the password on the box.

Soon, the box clicked open.

As the box was opened, a sea-blue fluorescent light shone on Li Wei's face.

The box contained nothing but the Tesseract, also known as the Space Stone, which was listed as missing by S.H.I.E.L.D. during this period and known only to Director Nick Fury.
