I sparked a mythological frenzy in Marvel.

Chapter 9: We are concerned about this.

Ultimately, they were simply incompatible.

Xia Ling sighed inwardly.

He had intended to use Tzeentch or Yog-Sothoth to deal with Tony, but neither of them were compatible with him, and there was no need for him to expend more divine power at this stage.

The other gods of wisdom are even worse; their positive image is too strong.

After Xia Ling became a reincarnator, she did quite a few anthropomorphic things, which is even further from the ideal.

Therefore, using Gerald to block the gun muzzle is the most appropriate solution.

However, to Xia Ling's surprise, the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods could also be classified as gods.

This was something he hadn't expected. Just like how the Dark Ranger's talisman turned out to be a summoning skill, he really hadn't thought of that.

Perhaps the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods were classified as gods because they symbolized a kind of cosmic rule?

But no matter what, it's unusable now.

"Chief, we've received a report that the military is planning to take action against the Red Giant."

Coulson walked into the office and handed over a stack of documents.

Xia Ling casually flipped through it: "Not bad, the news came over so quickly. Our people on the military side are pretty fast."

"Chief, we have people infiltrated into every organization, whether it's foreign or domestic."

Correspondingly, every organization has people in S.H.I.E.L.D., right?

Xia Ling smiled and tossed the file in her hand aside.

"Chief, are we not going to pay attention to this matter?"

As a confidant of the former director, Coulson knew something about this Red Giant, knowing that he was a prospective member of Nick Fury's superpowered team.

Although I don't know why he's become popular again, such a powerful fighter can't be ignored.

"Of course we'll pay attention. Just tell our people to pay attention."

"what?"

Coulson was startled, but immediately understood what the chief meant.

"Chief, are we just going to stand by and do nothing?"

"What do you mean by standing idly by? Can't you speak properly? I mean, to avoid panic, we should pretend nothing happened and let our agents just watch. Don't interfere in military affairs."

"Uh, and then?"

Xia Ling smiled slightly: "Then we express our high regard for this serious incident, but in order to avoid further casualties, we cannot take any action. Just let the military rush in."

Coulson was somewhat bewildered, and Xia Ling, seeing this, continued, "If the Red Giant's forces are completely wiped out, then even if S.H.I.E.L.D. is able to take action..."

But what can we do in the face of such a terrifying monster? We are powerless.

"So, there's nothing we can do?"

"Of course not."

Looking at the still bewildered Coulson, Xia Ling couldn't help but shake her head.

"This is the final step. We will report to the Security Council at that time. Perhaps we could have done something back then, but we were powerless because of insufficient resources."

We can then use this as grounds to demand more funding, and even projects that would normally be rejected will be subject to consideration by the Security Council, such as that team of superhumans.

After hearing this, Coulson was dumbfounded. How could these bureau chiefs be so ruthless?

I thought Fury was a black man, and in terms of being ruthless, he was already at the pinnacle.

Unexpectedly, the new Director Xia is even more ruthless than him. Inflating financial reimbursements is already vicious enough, but Director Xia actually managed to increase funding and even pass the plan by sacrificing the military.

I realize I'm still too young; I'm far from being an old person.

Just as the old village chief was lamenting his own naiveté, an unfriendly voice rang out, sending chills down his spine.

"Coulson, speaking of which, I haven't settled the score with you for betraying my side before."

"Chief, I can explain."

Coulson's expression changed drastically. He had witnessed the methods of this Director Xia before; even Nick Fury had been driven to the brink of ecstasy by him.

If I were on his blacklist, how could I possibly survive?

However, before he could explain, Xia Ling stood up and put one hand on the old village chief's shoulder.

"I know, older people always like to reminisce about the past, I can understand that."

Coulson nodded repeatedly, but the "Holy crap" in his mind was already bursting out.

He's only middle-aged at most, how did he suddenly become an old man? Could it be his hairline?

"Chief, you understand me best. Fury has taken such good care of me in the past, it's truly..."

"Stop, stop, stop! You don't think this is all, do you? Do I look like such a weak person?"

Xia Ling's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips, as if she could see through all of Coulson's ulterior motives.

"Chief, what are your plans?"

Coulson asked cautiously, his heart filled with unease.

"It's nothing. I heard Fury has a special pager. Bring me that thing, and this will be the end of it."

As soon as Xia Ling finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office froze instantly, and a look of surprise and confusion flashed across Coulson's face.

"Chief, could I know what that thing is used for?"

Although Coulson didn't know what the pager was for, he was very clear about one thing: Director Xia wouldn't have him do anything pointless for no reason.

"It's nothing, you don't need to know. Just obey my orders, get the pager and hand it to me. Coincidentally, Nick Fury is coming to work on my farm, so go and hand it over to him while you're at it."

Coulson was speechless. Was this just a side effect?

Getting something that the King of Spies values ​​is incredibly difficult, but the director makes it sound like he's just borrowing an eraser.

"Chief, I don't think so."

"What? Coulson, you're willing to take this mission? Great, do a good job, I'll give you a promotion and a raise. Go and come back quickly."

"Chief, it's me."

"Hurry up, you don't want to go without your salary this month, do you?"

Whoosh!

Upon hearing this, Coulson immediately saluted and then rushed out of the office with lightning speed.

Fury, I'm sorry, it's not that I'm a brother or a human being, it's just that if I don't get my salary this month, I'll lose my car.

I'm sure the understanding Nick Fury wouldn't want to see his loyal old subordinate one day having to walk to work.

No, right?

"What a mess! A hardworking, brave, and honest man, driven to this state—it's utterly depraved! It's all that Nick Fury's fault!"

Xia Ling nonchalantly and steadily shifted the blame onto Nick Fury's back. He had been the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for so many years and had taken on quite a few blames, so he probably wouldn't mind taking on another one.
