I'm starting a mythology craze at Marvel

Chapter 200 Intermission
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.

"Today is another leisurely day. I am beginning to miss the fulfilling days in the past."

Nick Fury sighed, thinking about how fulfilling his days were when he was still the director.

Compared to now, although guarding the gate was not busy, it was too leisurely.

"Fury, wake up, you are no longer the director, it is not good to daydream."

Odin interrupted Nick Fury's fantasy, causing the latter to frown.

His colleague who works as a gatekeeper always likes to use reality to hit him hard.

How could he not know that Director Xia had trained him into a completely obedient state?

Normally, he would not have such fantasies, but Xia Ling has already gone to the island country.

Nick Fury sighed, ignored Odin's joke, and said, "Odin, do you think Director Xia can really completely solve the demon problem there when he goes to the island country this time?"

Odin shrugged and replied, "Who knows? But looking at Xia Ling's methods, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, he is a man who can even deal with the God of Death."

"That being said, the situation this time seems a little different." Nick Fury frowned, "Those demons are not ordinary enemies. There seems to be a more complicated background and power behind them."

"How can it be more complicated than the God of Death?" Odin said disapprovingly, "Since Xia Ling dared to go, it means he is confident. Let's stop worrying about it and do our own work well."

"If he could"

Before he could finish his words, Nick Fury immediately shut his mouth after catching sight of someone.

"Fury, what did you just say if he could do what?"

Xia Ling looked at Nick Fury with a smile, but in his opinion, that smile was like the eve of a storm.

Nick Fury's heart tightened, and he quickly changed his words: "Ah, I mean, if Director Xia can successfully solve the problem of the island country, that would be great. We can also breathe a sigh of relief, right?"

Odin watched Xia Ling coming from the side, with a barely perceptible awe in his eyes. He whispered to Nick Fury, "It looks like your 'leisure days' are coming to an end. Director Xia is back."

Xia Ling approached slowly, his eyes swept over Nick Fury and Odin, as if he saw through their conversation. "Fury, Odin, it seems that you two get along well here. However, don't forget the task I assigned to you, guarding the door is also part of protecting the safety of the headquarters."

Nick Fury nodded quickly and forced a smile: "Of course, Director Xia, we are always on guard to ensure that the headquarters is safe."

Xia Ling smiled slightly and did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he said, "I have a new mission for you. Tony has reported to me the recent situation in New York. A mysterious organization is operating in secret. I need the two of you to assist the SHIELD agents in conducting a secret investigation of this organization."

Nick Fury was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Director, what is the mission?"

"Oh, it's very simple. When the agents go out to carry out their missions, just keep an eye on this place and don't let anything suspicious come in."

Xia Ling's words made Nick Fury and Odin look at each other, and for a moment they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But Xia Ling's expression was extremely serious, and there was no intention of joking at all.

"Don't get me wrong, this is not an easy task." Xia Ling continued, "This mysterious organization acts in secret and with cunning means, so we can't take it lightly. Although you are mainly responsible for guarding the headquarters now, this is also an important part of fighting them. After all, the headquarters is the brain of S.H.I.E.L.D., and once there is a problem here, the entire organization will fall into chaos."

Nick Fury sighed. He had given a lot of such big cakes to others before.

In fact, he should have thought about it earlier. Being able to be a doorman for the rest of his life would be good enough. Why should he think so much?

"Don't worry, Director." Nick Fury said solemnly, "We will guard this place and prevent any suspicious people or items from entering the headquarters. At the same time, we will also keep an eye on the outside world and provide the necessary support to the agents."

"Very good. I feel relieved to have you here. Remember, stay alert and be prepared for any emergency."

Xia Ling nodded and looked at the gatekeeper in front of him with satisfaction.

"Also, Fury," Xia Ling added, "I already have a preliminary solution to the problem of the island demons. However, the specific situation still needs further observation and analysis. You don't have to worry too much. I will adjust the strategy in time according to the situation. But as Odin said, each of us has an indispensable responsibility, and you are here to serve the overall situation as well."

"Yes, Director, we understand. No matter where we are, we will do our best to live up to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mission."

Odin also expressed his opinion at the right time: "Director Xia, don't worry, we will guard this door and prevent any threats from infiltrating."

Xia Ling listened to the assurances of Nick Fury and Odin and smiled. Nick Fury's position was not as good as before, and he had been suppressed by him so many times, but he did not seem to give up at all and was always thinking about climbing up on his own.

There's nothing wrong with this, it's just a pity that he is not included in my future blueprint.

"Very good. It is my greatest honor to have comrades like you." Xia Ling said gently, "Next, I will arrange for a special agent team to formulate a monitoring plan for that mysterious organization. As a gatekeeper, you don't have to worry so much."

Nick Fury and Odin responded in unison, but there was a hint of disappointment in Nick Fury's eyes.

"Director, if you need our help, please let me know." Odin volunteered, his tone full of unquestionable determination.

Xia Ling smiled and patted Odin on the shoulder: "I feel relieved with you here. However, your most important task at the moment is to guard the headquarters. Remember, this is our root and our center. As long as this place is stable, we can calmly deal with any challenge."

During the conversation, an agent hurried in and handed Xia Ling a report. Xia Ling quickly glanced through it, frowned slightly, but then regained his composure.

"It seems that our opponents have already started to act." Xia Ling handed the report to Nick Fury and Odin, "This is intelligence about the recent activities of the mysterious organization. You can take a look first, and then we can discuss the response strategy."

Nick Fury and Odin took the report and read it carefully. As the information became clearer, their faces became more and more solemn.

This mysterious organization is apparently more cunning and powerful than they had previously imagined, and their goal seems to be aimed directly at the core of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Director, what should we do?" After reading the report, Nick Fury looked up at Xia Ling, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Just keep watch over the gate. Do not act rashly without my order."

Although Nick Fury was somewhat reluctant to just be a gatekeeper, years of training and experience taught him that obeying orders was his top priority.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and said, "I understand, Director. We will pay close attention to any suspicious situations and ensure the safety of the headquarters."

Xia Ling nodded with satisfaction. He knew very well that in the current situation, it was crucial to maintain internal stability and unity. "Very good. I feel relieved to have you here. Now, I will immediately arrange an action plan against this mysterious organization. Remember, keep the communication open and report any situation to me immediately."

After saying that, Xia Ling turned and walked away to his office, leaving Nick Fury and Odin to continue studying the report.

But before he could even reach the office, Hawkeye came over.

"Director, you don't plan to let Fury go on the mission? Why are you showing him the confidential documents?"

Xia Ling spread his hands indifferently and said, "There's nothing to take seriously. I'm not like Nick Fury who takes everything so seriously.

Besides, it's good for him to see it. We are busy here, and it's not good for him to be too idle. I don't like to see it."

"Besides, although this information is important, it is not a core secret. Nick Fury and Odin are both experienced veterans. They know how to distinguish the importance of information and understand the importance of keeping secrets." Xia Ling stopped and looked at Hawkeye deeply. "No matter what, I am not a devil. Isn't it good to let them feel that they are still an indispensable part of S.H.I.E.L.D. instead of marginalized gatekeepers?"

Hawkeye was slightly startled, then nodded, as if he understood Xia Ling's intention. "Director, you always have your own considerations. So, do you have any specific plans for this mysterious organization?"

"Of course there is a plan, and it will be exciting. However, now is not the time to reveal it. Go back and prepare, and there will be action soon."

Hawkeye's expression froze when he heard that, and then he saluted. "Yes, Chief, I'll get ready right away."

Looking at Hawkeye's departing back, Xia Ling took another step forward, thinking secretly in his heart.

Xia Ling walked into the office, closed the door, and sat down behind the large desk. He stared at the globe on the desk, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

"Knock knock knock." The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Xia Ling's thoughts. He looked up and saw an agent standing outside the door with an encrypted document in his hand.

"Chief, this is the latest intelligence about the mysterious organization." The agent's voice was steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Xia Ling took the document and quickly glanced through it.

"Chief, do we need to take any action?" the agent asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

Xia Ling pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, it's not the right time yet. We need more intelligence to find out their details. Besides, the situation on the island country also needs our attention. I can't put all my eggs in one basket."

Upon hearing this, the agent nodded and quietly left the office.

Xia Ling fell into deep thought again, then he picked up the phone and dialed Tony's number. "Tony, I need you to help analyze this intelligence and find out what this mysterious organization is all about."

Tony answered on the other end of the phone and hung up.

Not long after, Tony's phone rang again.

"Tony, what are the results of the analysis?"

"Director Xia, this mysterious organization is indeed not simple." Tony's voice was solemn. "They seem to have mastered a technology that can distort reality. If this technology is used in an attack, it will pose a huge threat to us."

"Distorted reality? Do you think it's something that the Yellow King Brotherhood did?"

Tony frowned upon hearing this, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. "The Yellow King Brotherhood? If it's them, then things will be troublesome. You should continue to investigate and see if there is a direct connection between the two."

Xia Ling responded on the other end of the phone and then hung up.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door. Xia Ling looked up and saw Hawkeye standing at the door with a serious look on his face.

"Chief, this is an emergency."

Xia Ling motioned Hawkeye to come in, and Hawkeye immediately walked to the desk and handed a report to Xia Ling. Xia Ling took the report and quickly glanced through it.

The report showed that a large number of abnormal energy fluctuations suddenly appeared in the New York city area, and these fluctuations were closely related to the activities of the mysterious organization.

"It seems that they have already started to act." Xia Ling said, "We must take action immediately to stop their conspiracy."

Hawkeye nodded, and then asked: "Director, do we need to notify Nick Fury and Odin?"

Xia Ling thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, it's not the right time yet. Their main task now is to guard the headquarters and ensure its safety. We can't let them be distracted. Notify the special agent team immediately and prepare to carry out the mission."

Hawkeye's expression froze when he heard that, and then he saluted.

"Yes, Chief, I'll get ready right away."

Looking at Hawkeye's departing back, Xia Ling fell into deep thought again.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door. Xia Ling looked up and saw an agent hurriedly walking in with a report in his hand.

"Chief, this is the latest intelligence on the activities of a mysterious organization." There was a hint of urgency in the agent's voice.

Xia Ling took the report and quickly read it through. The report showed that the mysterious organization had set up multiple bases in the New York City area. These bases seemed to have some kind of close connection, and their activities were becoming more and more frequent, and the intensity and range of energy fluctuations were also expanding.

Xia Ling frowned, realizing that the situation could not be delayed any longer. He had to take immediate action to stop the conspiracy of the mysterious organization, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Notify all agents immediately and prepare to carry out the mission. At the same time, contact Nick Fury and Odin and ask them to strengthen the headquarters' alert and ensure the safety here."

As Xia Ling's order was given, the agent left.

Just at this moment, a bolt from the blue resounded throughout the entire SHIELD headquarters.
