The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 87 To save the Earth, defeat the evil Nick Fury!

"???"

Three question marks seemed to appear above Du Mu's head.

What the hell?
Did Nick Fury betray S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Du Mu doubted he had misheard and couldn't help but ask, "What did you just say?"

Coulson's tone was unusually serious: "It's true, Director Fury has betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D., and I guarantee the information is absolutely accurate."

"The director actually betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D.? No, what was he after?"

Du Mu felt an utterly absurd feeling.

This is practically a S.H.I.E.L.D. version of Why the Emperor is Rebelling.

Could it be that Nick Fury finally discovered he was an undercover agent within Hydra, which is why he betrayed our great H.I.E.L.D.?

“The specifics are hard to explain over the phone; I need you to come over immediately,” Coulson said urgently.

NPC Coulson has given you a new quest.

[Mission: The Reasons for Nick Fury's Betrayal]

[Objective: Reunite with Coulson as soon as possible and find out the reasons for Nick Fury's betrayal]

[Rewards: 500 experience points, 10 S.H.I.E.L.D. reputation, 1 random item]

[The player has triggered the main story quest!]

[Completing the prerequisite tasks will unlock the next task!]

Du Mu was surprised that Coulson was the first person to issue a task after he returned.

And it's a main quest that hasn't been seen in a long time!
It's worth noting that the last main quest was when they rescued Tony, and there haven't been any main quests since.

Du Mu couldn't help but exclaim, "Village Chief, I knew I hadn't misjudged you! You really do have the potential to be a bureau chief!"

Coulson: "?"

Based on the coordinates provided by Coulson, Du Mu arrived in American airspace aboard a S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet.

Before they even reached their destination, the sky ahead began to ripple, spreading out like waves, and then a colossal object gradually came into view.

This was the special division of S.H.I.E.L.D. that Du Mu had heard about before, and it was also a strategic piece of equipment of S.H.I.E.L.D., a sky carrier with amphibious combat capabilities.

The fighter jet slowly landed on the deck. As soon as Du Mu stepped out of the cabin, he saw that Coulson had been waiting for a long time.

His expression was solemn as he quickly approached and handed over a document marked "Top Secret".

"The matter is rather complicated. Please take a look at this file first."

Normally, when faced with a situation requiring extensive background information, Du Mu would likely choose to skip the plot altogether.

But this time it was completely different.

After all, this was Nick Fury who betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D.

Such a great spectacle truly piqued his curiosity.

Du Mu took the document and began to read it.

This is a detailed document about the 'Pegasus Project', the core of which is to study a mysterious object called the 'Cosmic Cube'. According to the document, the Cosmic Cube is not a product of Earth, but originated from an extraterrestrial civilization and is said to possess infinite energy.

The file mentions that the Cosmic Cube was first discovered and studied by the Hydra organization.

Red Skull, the former leader of Hydra, once attempted to use his energy to create superweapons to rule the world, but was unfortunately stopped by the evil Steve, and fell into the Arctic Ocean along with the Tesseract.

It wasn't until the 20th century, when Tony's father salvaged it, that it was able to reappear in the public eye.

"Is the director's betrayal related to this Cosmic Cube?" Du Mu asked curiously.

Coulson nodded gravely: "Just a day ago, the Joint Dark Energy Mission Research Institute, which is responsible for researching the Cosmic Cube, was attacked. The attacker was none other than Loki, whom we met in New Mexico."

Loki?

Du Mu was a little surprised.

Didn't my little brother escape from the Asgardian dungeons a few days ago? How come he's suddenly on Earth?

“You can take a look at this video for details,” Coulson said, handing over an electronic panel with a video playing on the screen.

In a laboratory, the Cosmic Cube suddenly activated on its own, shooting out a beam of energy that condensed into a spatial portal, from which a black figure emerged.

"Is that Loki?"

It took Du Mu quite a while to recognize the figure as Loki.

But what's wrong with the other person's skin tone? It's like they've had a tan, looking several shades darker than Nick Fury.

The black Loki, wielding a scepter that shimmered with blue light, attacked the people inside the laboratory. Hawkeye Miho—no, Clint Barton, the strongest fighter on the field—immediately intervened to stop Loki.

But Clint forgot that he was an ADC (Attack Damage Carry), and he was instantly defeated when he encountered Loki, an assassin, in close combat.

After Loki defeated Clint, he tapped him and Sylvie, whom Du Mu had seen before, on the chest with his scepter. The two then stood expressionless beside Loki, like puppets being controlled.

Du Mu was very familiar with this scene; it was exactly the same as the scene where Kilgrave used his abilities to control others.

Could it be that Loki is also a trainer?
Then, Loki ordered Clint to attack Nick Fury. Clint decisively shot and broke Nick Fury's leg, then rushed forward and punched Nick Fury more than a dozen times. If Loki hadn't stopped him in time, he would have beaten Nick Fury into a pig's head.

It's hard to say whether this is a personal grudge; perhaps Clint is retaliating against Nick Fury for taking away his vacation and forcing him to come back to work.

Loki then used the same method to control Nick Fury, who immediately followed him with a limp, becoming one of Loki's loyal henchmen.

At this point, Loki's starter trio is basically complete, although his lineup is somewhat inferior to Kilgrave's.

"So, the director was controlled by Loki, which is why he betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D."

Du Mu finally understood why it was a Level 8 event warning.

The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is being controlled by someone; who knows how much top-secret information they might reveal? Just thinking about it is terrifying.

[Mission 'The Reason for Nick Fury's Betrayal' Completed!]

[Rewards: 500 XP, 10 S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation, 'Speed ​​Mushroom' item]

[Item: Speed ​​Mushroom (Use on vehicles to provide a speed boost)]

Having learned the truth, Du Mu's mission was complete.

"That seems to be the case."

Coulson nodded and said seriously, "They disappeared after that. We are still investigating, but the director activated the Avengers program at the last minute."

"This plan was personally devised by the Director and aims to form an emergency response team composed of individuals with special abilities, with the goal of protecting the Earth from global threats that cannot be resolved with conventional weapons or that are beyond the capabilities of conventional military operations."

As they spoke, Coulson handed over another document and led Du Mu to the command center of the Sky Helicarrier.

Du Mu took the document and examined it. To his surprise, he recognized all the members of the Avengers program, including Tony Stark.

What abilities does Tony Stark possess?
Does it have the power of money?

However, Du Mu discovered that he was not on the list of those involved in the Avengers' plan.

He glared at Coulson: "Why am I not on this list? Am I worse than someone who plays with an archery?"

Clint: "."

Coulson hesitated for a moment: "Uh, maybe the director has his reasons and ideas."

In fact, Nick Fury felt that Doomu was even harder to control than Hulk.

If the other party becomes an Avenger, it might cause even bigger trouble. In that case, they won't be an Avenger anymore, but a destroyer.

But in Du Mu's eyes, he felt rejected by the avengers.

Even someone who knows how to play with a bow can get in, but he can't? Isn't that disrespectful?

Clint: "."

Du Mu nodded: "Alright, I understand completely now."

Coulson breathed a sigh of relief: "Good that you understand."

Du Mu pulled out two golden Desert Eagles and said expressionlessly, "So my current mission is to save the Earth and take down the evil Nick Fury, right?"

Coulson: "."

No, what exactly did you understand?
