I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 408 Aether Particles

Within the towering palace, a massive spaceship, shaped like a sharp axe, stands upright on the earth like a mountain peak.

As the spaceship continuously drew energy from the barren earth, the dark red energy halo at the center of the spaceship seemed to flicker and change, as if breathing.

However, even if the dark red energy light was dim...

This massive spaceship also continuously emitted a special kind of fluctuation, providing a secret haven for this ancient city.

To conceal the existence of this city and prevent this one of the few bases of the dark elves from being discovered by their former enemies.

And deep inside this spaceship.

Malekith, the monarch of the dark world of Wat Alheim and the king of the dark elves, is undergoing an astonishing transformation.

Boundless darkness, like a thick fog, filled every corner of this strange spaceship.

The elite dark elves who slept alongside Malekith in this spaceship were as if they had been subjected to the most terrifying curse under the boundless darkness.

Body and soul are decaying and rotting at an unimaginable speed.

Then, in that deep darkness, it turned to ashes, nourishing and strengthening that terrifying darkness with its own soul and flesh.

Immediately afterwards, the chilling darkness surged like a tidal wave toward the figure suspended in mid-air deep within the palace.

Every minute, every second, Malekith, suspended in mid-air, was emanating an aura that was growing stronger at an astonishing rate.

I don't know how much time has passed.

After Malekith swallowed up all the darkness that had engulfed the palace, the dark elves who had been blocked outside by the black mist were finally able to enter the palace.

After the darkness dissipated.

A pair of incredibly deep pupils, like the abyss, suddenly opened in the darkness, swallowing up all the light within their sight.

"I feel it, the ether particles are calling..."

···········

And this time.

Jane Ford, employed by the government, is exploring an abandoned factory in the suburbs of London with Darcy, who has been promoted to assistant.

After the Tokyo incident.

Having learned that the Hell Dimension was invading Earth and witnessed firsthand the devastation in Tokyo after its invasion, the British government was terrified by the persistent fog that shrouded London.

I'm terrified of that day.

When the fog that shrouded London dissipates, countless demons from hell will pour out and wreak havoc throughout Britain.

to this end.

The fearful British government, at an unprecedented speed, implemented a scorched-earth policy outside London, stationing a large number of soldiers outside the fog-shrouded city.

While continuously sending more soldiers and constructing defensive fortifications.

The British government also spent a lot of money hiring a large number of astrophysicists and physicists specializing in geometry in an attempt to explore and completely solve the mystery that shrouded London.

Jane Ford, who was born in England, was one of these people.

At this time.

Jane Ford, protected by a group of people and carrying a large amount of equipment, has made a breakthrough in this abandoned factory.

Looking at the ever-increasing data on the machine, Darcy, carrying a bunch of instruments, shouted to Jane in front of him:

"Hey Jane, the data is still climbing. It's almost at the level it was at when the rainbow tunnel appeared in New Mexico. According to your theory, if this continues, a spatial tunnel might appear in this factory..."

"Damn it, does this spatial passage lead to hell?"

The thought of Tokyo on the other side of the world, where a portal to the Hell Dimension had appeared and people were now extinct, made Darcy's face turn deathly pale.

As an Englishman, Darcy had no desire to see such a tragic state of affairs in his homeland.

Jane Ford, summoned by Darcy, also looked rather grim as she watched the data on the machine steadily climbing.

"According to the data, this is very likely a spatial passage, or rather, a prototype of a spatial passage. As for where the other end of this spatial passage leads, no one knows."

After taking a deep breath, Jane Ford said to Darcy, "Darcy, get ready. Notify S.H.I.E.L.D. and the British government, and have them send people to deal with this immediately. I don't want my hometown to be destroyed by those demons from hell."

Darcy: "Understood!"

At Jane Ford's suggestion, Darcy first contacted S.H.I.E.L.D., with whom they had met once before.

As a native-born Briton, Darcy knew all too well how disorganized the British government was. Rather than trusting the efficiency of the British government, he was more inclined to trust S.H.I.E.L.D., whom he had only met once.

At least they are more efficient, and protecting the Earth is also within their responsibilities.

After the Battle of New York.

With the exposure of the space carrier, S.H.I.E.L.D., a special department that should have been hidden in the shadows, has become known to more and more people.

Even its functions and jurisdiction have become widely known.

soon.

Inside the Tri-Wing Building, Coulson, who had just finished writing his leave report and was preparing to apply for leave from his new boss, received a call from Darcy.

Looking at the name saved on the phone, Coulson, somewhat puzzled, pressed the answer button. Darcy's slightly flustered voice immediately came through the phone.

"Hey, is this Coulson? This is Darcy, from last time..."

Hearing the slightly flustered voice on the other end of the phone, Coulson said in his characteristically gentle tone, "I know, Darcy, I have your number saved in my contacts. Is there something you need?"

"Oh my god! You still remember? That's great! Hey, listen, Jane and I discovered a rapidly forming spatial portal in the outskirts of London, on the edge of the fog that shrouds the city. We're worried that the other end of this portal leads to Hell, so..."

A rapidly forming spatial passageway?

It might even extend to hell.

Shit.

Coulson's expression changed as he looked at the leave report in his hand, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Because he knew that the vacation he had finally managed to get from his new boss was gone again.

After giving Darcy a few instructions over the phone, Coulson switched from walking to running and quickly made his way to Duke's office.

Whether it's a spatial passage or not.

Whether it's hell or hell, it doesn't represent anything trivial.

After all, the last events related to spatial passages and hell were the Battle of New York and the Tokyo Incident.

Both of these are terrifying events that could threaten the safety of the entire planet.

A few minutes later.

Sitting in his office, Acting Director Duke of S.H.I.E.L.D. took a deep breath after listening to Coulson's description, and then said to Coulson:

"I'm sorry, Coulson, it looks like your vacation will have to be postponed."

Coulson shrugged. "Actually, I'm used to it."

"Very well, then inform the captain and Natasha to prepare to head to London!"

They drew on the fear stemming from the last Tokyo incident.

During this period, Duke did his best to maneuver.

Although countries around the world are doing their utmost to develop their military power, S.H.I.E.L.D., which possesses a large amount of advanced technology, has still managed to garner considerable support from the uneasy UN Security Council.

Of course.

When countries around the world face threats, S.H.I.E.L.D. also needs to do everything in its power to intervene.

At this time.

The spatial portal that Jane Ford and her team encountered, no matter how you look at it, was a major threat that could threaten Earth's safety.

·······

Under Duke's orders, S.H.I.E.L.D. reacted with exceptional speed.

In just half an hour.

Then a dozen fully armed planes, carrying a new batch of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, flew to London.

Just as Captain America and Natasha arrived at the airport at top speed, met up with Coulson, and boarded the Quinjet to head to London together.

A familiar voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"Hey, mind if I hitch a ride?"

The moment that voice rang out, Captain America, Natasha, and Coulson all turned to look at Erin, who had appeared in the fighter jet at some unknown time.

The moment I saw Erin.

A look of surprise and delight flashed across Captain America's face.

He said happily, "Hey, Erin, what brings you here?"

"Like I just said, I'm here to hitch a ride."

After looking around, Erin casually found the most comfortable spot on the Quinjet and sat down.

Compared to ordinary aircraft, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Quinjet is much faster and more convenient.

········

After saying goodbye to Gwen.

The plan was to use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence network to find Jane Ford's location, and then use Jane Ford as a pretext to travel to Arryn in Asgard. It just so happened that Duke learned about Jane's whereabouts.

Arlin, who rushed to the airport at top speed, saw Coulson, Captain America, and Natasha shortly after entering the airport.

Looking at Erin, who casually found a seat and sat down without any concern that they would be refused.

Natasha and Coulson were both taken aback.

Then, as if they had thought of something, they exchanged a serious glance.

After a moment's hesitation, Natasha walked over to Erin and asked in a low voice, "Erin, did you go to London because you thought you'd received some divine guidance? Or perhaps...?"

"Was that spatial portal that appeared in London more dangerous than we imagined?"

The three people present were all too familiar with Erin's amazing divination abilities.

After all, they had all experienced Erin's divination directly or indirectly.

That's why Natasha and Coulson, as agents, were so sensitive when they saw Erin appear.

After all, this person doesn't usually like to interact with them much.

Erin glanced at Natasha, who was constantly trying to glean information from him, and said calmly, "You guessed right. In fact, this time it's more dangerous than you think."

Upon hearing this, Steve, who had been delighted by Erin's arrival, suddenly felt a pang of anxiety and asked, "Could you tell me what exactly happened?"

Before fulfilling his promise to Loki and saving Frika, Erin didn't say much, not wanting to cause too many variables because of his words.

He simply said to Steve, "Prepare for war."

After saying that, Erin closed his eyes.

Seeing Erin resting with his eyes closed, Coulson pressed, "Hey, buddy, aren't you going to say something more?"

But after a long time, Coulson still didn't receive a reply from Erin.

Seeing that Erin was unwilling to say more, Steve tightened his grip on the vibranium shield on his back and said to Coulson, "Contact Tony Stark immediately and tell him we need help."

"Oh, and Dr. Banner too!"

Natasha, who was standing nearby, glanced at Erin and said, "Dr. Banner should still be at an impasse with his girlfriend in the Amazon and the Federal military over some issues."

Steve glanced at Natasha and asked, "Can this be resolved?"

Natasha: "Of course."

After saying that, Natasha quickly took out her phone and walked to the side.

Meanwhile, Coulson had already dialed Tony Stark's number.

········

new York.

Tony is having dinner with Pepper at Winston Dream Restaurant, which she is rebuilding from the ruins.

Just as we were having a great time chatting, we were suddenly interrupted by a piercing ringtone.

He glanced at the number Jarvis had saved as the one-armed agent.

Tony immediately hung up.

However, not long after, his phone rang again with a piercing ringtone.

"Hey Jarvis, before this dinner ends, blacklist this guy for me. I don't want him bothering me while I'm eating anymore."

Jarvis: "Mission accomplished, sir."

"very good."

Looking at the now-silent phone, Tony nodded. Then, turning to Pepper sitting across from him, he asked, "Where were we?"

"Ring ring..."

Tony had barely finished speaking when the crisp ringtone of a cell phone rang again, but this time, it was Pepper's phone that rang.

"It's Coulson!"

After glancing at the contact name on her phone, Pepper quickly realized whose call Tony had just hung up on.

After answering the call and listening to a few words, Pepper's expression immediately turned serious.

Seeing Pepper's sudden serious expression, Thor asked, "What's wrong?"

"Something's happened, Tony?"

A few minutes later.

A golden-red figure instantly rose into the air, trailing a golden-red tail, slicing through the sky.

On the other side...

Deep in the Amazon, a military colonel who was keeping a close eye on Dr. Banner, fearing he might go berserk, also received a phone call.

After hanging up the phone, a look of obvious relief appeared on his face.

········

at the same time.

Jane, wanting to gather more information before the arrival of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the British government, took her equipment and followed the signal's guidance, heading deeper into the area she had just been.

But as she passed a wall, a sudden suction force pulled her into an unknown space.
