Chapter 92 The Decision of the Father of the Gods

"I'll join too."

"However, I won't be in the courtyard very often."

Thor glanced at Tony and spoke quickly.

He and Tony weren't close at all.

To be precise, he only learned Tony's name after he went to the living room for a drink.

However, this does not prevent him from joining the Avengers.

Since Roy had already joined, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

Banner responded to Saul's reply.

"Forming a team to deal with the crisis together is much better than going it alone, so I joined in."

Unlike Thor, Banner decided to join the Avengers not because Roy had also joined.

While Roy joining was one of the reasons, it wasn't the most important one.

He decided to join the Avengers mainly because he didn't want to continue living a life of hiding and running away.

Natasha turned to look at Rogers and Hawkeye, smiled sweetly, and said softly, "The strongest Roy, Thor, and Banner have all joined, and the Avengers' fighting power has surpassed that of any army in the world."

"I can't think of any reason why I would refuse to join such a powerful organization."

Although she didn't inform Nick Fury beforehand, she was certain that Nick Fury wouldn't stop her from joining the Avengers.

In order to obtain firsthand information about the Avengers, Nick Fury would ask her to join even if she didn't volunteer.

As Natasha's good friend, Hawkeye immediately guessed why she wanted to join the Avengers.

Neither he nor Natasha were agents trained by S.H.I.E.L.D.; rather, they were recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. because of their outstanding abilities.

In other words, unlike Coulson and Agent Hill, they didn't feel any sense of belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D.; it was purely a cooperative relationship.

Hawkeye picked up his glass and took a sip: "Count me in."

When he decided to join, everyone's attention turned to Rogers.

"If the Avengers' purpose is to stop the crisis and protect innocent people, then I will join them," Rogers said slowly.

Although he had been frozen for decades, he was not some stubborn old-fashioned relic.

As a battle-hardened soldier, he knew very well how much power a powerful team like the Avengers could unleash.

This war is a good example.

As for the fact that the Avengers do not accept oversight from S.H.I.E.L.D. and other official agencies, he sees it not as a bad thing, but as a good thing.

He is not a politician, but he is no stranger to bureaucracy.

Or rather, he would refuse to join the Avengers if they required oversight from S.H.I.E.L.D. and other official agencies.

Tony had assumed that Rogers, Natasha, and Hawkeye would refuse to join.

After all, all three of them are from S.H.I.E.L.D.

To everyone's surprise, they not only didn't refuse, but readily agreed.

"I've made up my mind. Stark Tower will be renamed Avengers Tower, and the top floors will be the headquarters of the Avengers."

"Besides this place, I will also buy a piece of land in the suburbs and build it into a backup base."

Tony said with a hearty expression.

Buying land or establishing a backup base are not simple matters.

However, he didn't take it to heart at all.

For him, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

More than ten minutes later.

Alexander Pierce, impeccably dressed in a suit, entered the living room with a fully armed S.H.I.E.L.D. special forces team.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Roy and the others, he immediately signaled a special forces soldier to put the Cosmic Cube on the table into a specially prepared silver briefcase.

Natasha and Hawkeye exchanged a glance but did not stop the special forces soldier.

Although Alexander Pierce is not the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he is the chairman of the Security Council, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is subject to the supervision of the Security Council.

In other words, Alexander Pierce was their boss's boss.

Just as the special forces soldiers reached the table, ready to take the Tesseract, Thor stood up and said seriously, "You can't take the Tesseract!"

Why?

"The Tesseract belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D. Even if you are a prince of Asgard, you have no right to stop us from taking the Tesseract."

Pierce said quickly.

Before Thor could answer, Roy's voice rang out.

"The Tesseract was stolen by Red Skull from Odin's Temple. In terms of ownership, returning the Tesseract to Asgard is the rightful way to restore it to its rightful owner."

Upon hearing Roy's words, Pierce immediately frowned.

As the leader of one of Hydra's branches, he certainly knew how the Tesseract ended up in Red Skull's hands.

However, he is not a reasonable person.

Whether during World War II or in the recently concluded Battle of New York, the Cosmic Cube has demonstrated its enormous potential.

If Hydra could possess the Tesseract, it would greatly accelerate their plan to conquer Earth.

To achieve his plan to conquer the earth, he didn't mind being unreasonable for once.

After a moment's thought, Pierce asked Thor, "Was the Tesseract created by Odin himself?"

"No!" Thor replied.

Pierce smiled slightly, looked at Thor calmly, and said slowly, "If that's not the case, then it means that Odin is not the true owner of the Tesseract either, but obtained it from somewhere else."

"He once possessed the Tesseract, but he didn't take good care of it, which led to the Tesseract falling into Red Skull's hands."

"After Red Skull's death, the Tesseract fell into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"The Tesseract has been kept in the custody of S.H.I.E.L.D. for the past few decades."

"From this perspective, the Tesseract has nothing to do with Odin anymore, so it's perfectly reasonable for us to take it away."

"If the Tesseract is to be taken back to Asgard because it once belonged to Odin."

"If Red Skull is still alive, then can he also take the Tesseract from S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"You're not from Earth, so you don't know the situation on Earth. I don't blame you."

Thor frowned, unsure how to refute Pierce for a moment.

Seeing that Thor was confused by his own sophistry, Pierce did not hesitate and continued to signal the special forces soldiers to take away the Tesseract.

Just then, Roy said to Pierce, "Take it if you're not afraid of dying!"

"What do you mean by that?" Pearson asked, frowning.

"It means exactly what it says!" Roy replied.

Pierce's expression immediately turned extremely ugly, and he quickly said, "Are you threatening me?"

"Yes, I am threatening you."

"If you're not happy about it, then have your men fire."

"I can assure you, every single bullet fired will end up in your head."

Roy looked at Pierce calmly, making no attempt to hide his threat.

Although he still needs Hydra to do some things, killing Pierce now won't have much of an impact.

With Pierce dead, someone else will naturally take his place and become the new leader.

Pierce fell silent, his mind racing as he considered a solution.

"I will not bring the Tesseract back to Asgard."

"Before coming to the central courtyard, my father specifically instructed me to hand over the Cosmic Cube to the new guardian after retrieving it."

At this point, Thor paused, picked up the Tesseract from the table, tossed it to Roy, and continued, "With you as the guardian of the Tesseract, it will be safe."

"These are my father's exact words."

After saying this, without waiting for Roy's reply, Thor turned to look at Pierce and said coldly, "This is the decision of Odin, the Allfather. If you have any objections, you can send your king to Asgard to explain in detail why Roy is not suitable to be the Guardian."
