Fairy Tail: I Am the God

They had arrived at headquarters. After the helicopter landed smoothly, Leon and his group of four got off.

Agent Laura walked at the front, wearing black high heels and a black suit. Leon and Ruilin followed closely behind, and at the rear was a Level 1 agent, on a field mission, belonging to the level of security personnel.

However, the security personnel from S.H.I.E.L.D. were quite excellent; after escorting the three into the headquarters, they left on their own.

According to Agent Laura, they went to clear out the rebels.

"Excellent," Leon exclaimed sincerely. "Was this one recently hired?"

Agent Laura led the two into the elevator and nodded. "And we should be organizing a recruitment drive soon."

Ruilin's gaze was somewhat strange. Agent Laura did not answer, but merely glanced at her indifferently, "Recently, many agents have left."

Leon understood immediately.

It seems the chemical plant mission resulted in the deaths of two people, but the fugitive they captured required a significant sacrifice of police and agents by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Leon quickly followed Laura into the office, which had a minimum authorization level of five.

Although Leon had the corresponding memories in his mind, this was the first time he had entered such a high-tech and modern combat command center, and he was a little surprised.

Leon thought this was the combat command center mainly because there was a world map on the large screen in front of him, with many places marked in red.

Those... are places where battles are about to begin.

Chapter 964 Powerful Mutants

Leon quickly found his place—between a Level 6 agent and Ruilin.

Leon glanced around and estimated that there were about twelve people attending the meeting. For S.H.I.E.L.D., this was probably one of the largest gatherings of high-ranking leaders they had ever had.

Moreover, Leon quickly realized that he and Ruilin were probably the only two Level 5 agents among the twelve.

This peculiar feeling, however, made Leon very uneasy.

Soon, a Black female agent spoke first, "Gentlemen, this time we're urgently calling you back to headquarters instead of a conference call because we're facing a very difficult opponent. Every agent here has dealt with him before."

Leon looked at the big screen with a puzzled expression, and soon a video replay was played.

The footage was captured by surveillance cameras while they were carrying out their mission at the chemical plant.

Leon and Ruilin were watching intently as they recounted the entire battle, when the black female agent suddenly called Leon's name. "Agent Leon, a Level 5 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., tell me your conclusions from your fight with him."

Leon was suddenly called upon and didn't react at first, but he quickly got into the zone and started talking fluently, combining the information and memories provided by the God System.

"My personal feeling is that the opponent made the most of the terrain advantage in this encounter. Therefore, I think we are likely facing more than just this one superhuman, and it is also possible that he has accomplices who are very familiar with this place. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that this superhuman himself is very familiar with this chemical plant."

After thinking for a moment, Leon continued, "Since he has the ability to control objects, he could have easily taken advantage of the fact that we were all gathered in the third warehouse searching to create an explosion and take us all down in one fell swoop. But obviously he didn't do that. Instead, he chose to risk us splitting up and lure us out of the third warehouse."

Leon pointed to the panoramic view of the chemical plant's final explosion, which was frozen on the large screen.

"As you can see, only warehouses three and four haven't exploded. Above them are only the flames from the explosions of the other five warehouses. I think the superhuman must have a purpose in drawing us away from warehouses three and four. We should now focus on what's left in warehouses three and four."

However, Leon quickly thought of another possibility, "I have another guess, which is exactly the opposite of what I just thought. Maybe this superhuman doesn't want to protect Warehouses 3 and 4, but wants to blow up the other five warehouses. Maybe there's some unspeakable secret there, and he just wants to use the guise of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to blow them up."

"In short, I think we should go back to the site of the chemical plant explosion and investigate to see which possibility it is. Since they are superpowered, they must have left traces of their superpowers."

As soon as Leon finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. Leon could even hear the two agents whispering, "I told you that Agent Leon is outstanding and can be authorized as a Level 6 agent."

Leon was a little confused. This kind of battle debriefing was something he often did in the God Realm; it was just a trivial matter.

Chapter 965 S.H.I.E.L.D. Shaken

Ruilin, standing to the side, also showed a genuine expression of admiration.

Level 6 Agent? Leon knew very well that once he was promoted to Level 5 Agent, it would be extremely difficult to advance further.

It seems this trip to headquarters might bring some unexpected surprises? Being upgraded to a Level 6 Agent naturally grants access to many classified documents.

As Leon was thinking this, a heated discussion broke out again.

Soon, the twelve people reached a consensus: to go to the scene of the incident again to investigate and collect evidence.

However, this time, Leon, who had been on field missions, was left behind.

It is precisely the gossipy Agent Lara who brings this up.

“I think Agent Leon’s strategic vision is very valuable. I suggest that for this operation, we send more agents who are good at fieldwork to the scene, while Agent Leon should remain in the operations command center to coordinate overall operations.”

After Agent Laura finished speaking, she looked at the Black female agent. Leon quickly realized that this Black female agent was probably the highest-ranking agent at this meeting; she was Level 8.

It was clear that Agent Laura was seeking the consent of the Black female agent. Other Level 6 agents also suggested that Leon was indeed suitable to remain at headquarters.

Without further discussion, the Black female agent swiftly and efficiently arranged the operation.

Laura, as the field team leader, led an elite team to the scene of the incident, while Agent Leon and the black female agent remained in the operations command center.

Ruilin's arrangements quickly became a small focal point in the operations room.

Leon didn't insist that Ruilin stay, and Ruilin didn't refuse to go on field missions, but it was clear that the two of them wanted to stay together...

The Black female agent hesitated for a moment, then said, "Agent Ruilin is a field agent, and she has fully recovered from her previous injury. I believe she is fully capable of participating in this field mission. Agent Ruilin, what do you think?"

This was clearly a move to send Ruilin to the front lines for fieldwork, and Ruilin dared not refuse, so he quickly agreed.

“Alright, in that case, let’s split up now. Agent Leon and I will stay behind, while Agent Laura will lead the elite team to the scene. We will be in command throughout. Agent Leon will have some command authority. The codename for the operation remains ‘Eagle,’ and the security level is Level 5. Initiate the operation.”

At the command of the Black female agent, everyone quickly stood up; those who needed to leave left, and those who needed to talk continued their conversations.

Ruilin was clearly a little disappointed, and tugged at Leon's shoulder, "I'll be back soon, wait for me."

Leon stood up. "Of course. Be careful, I'll be keeping an eye on you the whole time."

As Ruilin was leaving, she gently pecked Leon's cheek, then ran off laughing, leaving Leon standing there bewildered in the wind...

I just pasted a memory here; I haven't forgotten that in the prehistoric world, you were a Samoyed...

But clearly, Leon had no one to confide in, and in the blink of an eye, only Leon and the black female agent remained in the command room.

"Come on, I'll take you to the front-line command center. The minimum authorization there is level six."

The Black female agent spoke, her high heels clicking loudly on the ground. Leon even had to walk quickly to keep up with her pace.

Chapter 966 The Mutants' True Intentions

Leon didn't quite understand what the black female agent meant by that.

As they approached the front-line command center, the Black female agent suddenly turned around and reached out for Leon's Eagle Badge.

Leon was startled, but facing a superior who was three ranks higher, he dared not resist and handed over the badge.

A tough white man opened the door to the front command room and walked out expressionlessly, but Leon could tell that the man was still quite kind.

The Black female agent introduced herself, "You don't know yet, do you? I'm Agent Maria, a Level 8 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. This is Agent Andy, a Level 7 Agent."

Leon extended his hand, "Hello, Agent Andy. I am Agent Leon, a Level 5 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

However, Andy and Maria exchanged a glance, and Maria handed Leon's badge over.

“Not anymore, Agent Leon. We are officially granting you the rank of Level 6 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., with broader authority, a higher level of authorization, and a Level 6 security clearance,” Maria said.

Andy took the Eagle Badge, swiped it on the machine where it was, and retrieved it.

“Agent Leon, here is your Level 6 badge. Please keep it safe.” Andy patted Leon on the shoulder in a friendly gesture. “Welcome to the front-line command center.”

After saying that, Andy and Maria immediately went to their usual office area.

Leon paced to the command screen in the forward command center. Clearly, this screen was larger and clearer. The large area displayed was the image from the field team's cameras, while the smaller map in the lower right corner was the same map that had just been on the large screen in the operations command center.

Leon noticed that there were a few more dots marked in red.

After finishing the documents he was working on, Andy came over, put his hands on his hips, and started talking to Leon.

“There are a few more locations marked in red. It seems the problem is getting more and more complicated.” Andy had some back pain, and Leon noticed that he kept holding his back.

Andy smiled and said, "I injured my back during the last field mission, and it hasn't fully healed yet. The doctor said it might last for about three years."

Leon immediately realized that he had lost his composure, since Andy hadn't let him know at all that he was examining the stitched wound on Leon's head.

"Sorry." Leon smiled, but Andy clearly didn't take it to heart.

Leon didn't know the full plan for "Operation Eagle." Clearly, the security level was at level six, and the field teams were initially divided into single-blind groups.

Leon didn't know who the fugitive was; he only knew that the fugitive was a superhuman who could control objects, and that was all.

"This superhuman is named Douglas. After he accidentally gained the ability to control objects, he gradually turned evil. At first, he could only control very small objects, such as cell phones and water bottles, but now he can control chemical containers remotely."

Leon thought about it carefully. "I still think it's more likely that he has accomplices, because we still don't know his purpose, do we?"

This sentence suddenly dawned on Andy. They had traveled all over the world, marking so many places in red, but even now, they still didn't know Douglas's true intentions!

Chapter 968 The Big Boss Laura

At a time when Agent Leon, Agent Andy, and the Black female agent were in a very awkward situation.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps thumping in the corridor.

Leon and Andy exchanged a fearful glance; they knew without a doubt that someone was coming.

An old man with gray hair and a kind face, whose every wrinkle was etched with wisdom, was affectionately known here as Detective "Owl".
