I, a ship girl, am the savior of civilization.

Laura already knows the locations of the four Infinity Stones: Mind Stone, Space Stone, Time Stone, and Reality Stone. Belfast also knows the coordinates of the planet where the Soul Stone is located. The only missing stone, the Power Stone, should also have its coordinates within the Kree Empire.

It's worth noting that Ronan was present during the struggle for the Orb of Destiny. This means the Kree Empire may very well possess relevant clues.

As for the Infinity Gauntlet... what a joke! If Tony can create a mechanical version, why can't Laura do it?

So all we have to do now is wait patiently.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and finally, the plot of Avengers 1 was on track.

S.H.I.E.L.D., Tesseract Research Base

"Director, the Cosmic Cube has malfunctioned. We cannot shut it down. The base has begun transferring experimental equipment and evacuating personnel..."

On his way to the lab, Coulson was reporting the situation at the base to Fury. With each new development, Fury's face darkened further.

From Laura and Belfast, Fury learned some of the secrets of the Tesseract. Combined with the database provided by the Skrulls, Fury knew exactly what he was researching.

Similarly, Fury is well aware of the disaster that would result if the Cosmic Cube were to malfunction.

"Dr. Eric, how is the situation?"

Fury walked straight into the Rubik's Cube testing lab and asked without turning his head.

"I don't know. The Rubik's Cube has completely gone out of control. Our equipment cannot contain the energy inside the cube, but for now, the energy fluctuations are relatively stable, so we don't need to worry about the cube suddenly exploding."

Dr. Eric spread his hands and spoke honestly. At the same time, Hawkeye slid down from above and nodded to Fury, confirming the doctor's statement.

"Perhaps, we didn't do this."

The Cosmic Cube is like a portal, and the portal can be opened at both ends. During the process of overseeing the development of the Cosmic Cube, Barton gained some understanding of it, so when he noticed the unusual behavior of the cube, this idea came to him.

Upon hearing this possibility, Fury closed his eyes with a headache. If nothing unexpected happens, S.H.I.E.L.D. will likely have to make contact with an alien civilization again.

The earliest were the Kree and the Skrulls, followed by Aerriel and Asgard. Except for Aerriel's arrival, which was relatively peaceful, the other two caused quite a stir on Earth.

"Well, forgive my bluntness, Director, based on the information provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., you should have anticipated this possibility long ago. So why did you insist on developing the Rubik's Cube?"

Just as Frey was pondering how to deal with what was to come, Dr. Eric asked a question timidly.

Erik initially refused to use the Tesseract to develop weapons. However, being part of S.H.I.E.L.D., he had no choice but to accept the organization's arrangements.

"Because times have changed so much that we can't even keep up."

Fury glanced at Eric with his one eye, thought for a moment, and finally decided to explain: "Back in the last century, I experienced an alien invasion."

"Over time, I've gradually realized that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power is insignificant in the face of these civilizations that are far more advanced than humanity. But if we want to protect Earth, we must have weapons that can fight against them."

"And the Cosmic Cube is our only chance."

With a sigh, Fury touched the transmitter in his pocket and continued, "Actually, I was a little hesitant at first, but after seeing the battle in New Mexico, I made up my mind."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Eric nodded in agreement. He had also been present during that battle and witnessed Laura dismantle the Destroyer into scrap metal.

Then, the Asgardian Thor's fleeting glimpse of lightning and his power to manipulate it also shocked him.

Fortunately, Asgard and Ariel treated Earth relatively kindly, otherwise Fury couldn't imagine what Earth would have become.

Hmm... maybe Thor will force a drinking contest and a glass-smashing festival? And maybe Laura and Belfast will set up an afternoon tea event?

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel like I don't need to worry at all.

"Whether it's Laura of Aerriel or Thor of Asgard, we can befriend them, but we must never place all our hopes on others."

Composing himself, Fury said, "Humanity, in the end, still has to rely on itself."

"Clap clap clap!"

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted from behind Fury.

Instinctively drawing his gun and pointing it behind him, Patton also prepared for battle, mimicking the motion of drawing a bow to shoot an eagle.

"Who goes there? Show yourself!"

Fury pointed his gun at the darkness from which the sound came, and shouted cautiously, but deep down he felt a sense of déjà vu about the scene.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Laura and Belfast deactivated the optical obstructions around them, revealing their figures.

To be honest, Laura really agreed with what Fury said. If everyone were as self-reliant and ambitious as Fury, Laura's job would be so much easier.

"It's Laura and Miss Belfast!"

With a sigh of relief, Fury put the gun back in its holster, then waved his hand dismissively, signaling the others to put away their weapons.

If these two really decide to go on a killing spree, S.H.I.E.L.D. probably won't be able to do anything about it.

But when he looked back, he found that Patton had collected it even faster than he had. And Patton, seeing the chief's surprised look, just pursed his lips.

Back then, Patton personally witnessed Laura's incredible prowess in New Mexico.

What are you two doing here?

Although Fury had disarmed himself, his expression was still somewhat grim. This was a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base; why would he be here for Laura?

Given Laura's previous obsession with the Tesseract, Fury has reason to suspect that the two of them are after the Tesseract.

Perhaps Ariel is behind this Cosmic Cube malfunction.

Almost the instant he saw Laura, Fury began spouting wild conspiracy theories.

"I heard someone called for Laura, so I came to check it out."

Laura didn't guess what Fury was thinking and spoke frankly.

The nanounits have always been attached to Fury's body. Because of insufficient computing power and psychological barriers, Laura could not maintain 24/7 monitoring, so Laura set keywords.

Laura will be alerted whenever any keywords related to Aierriel are detected.

After being alerted, Laura discovered that this was the research base of the Cosmic Cube, so she simply opened the Space Bridge and came to ambush Loki.

After that, all that's left is to wait for Loki to deliver the goods to your door.

I'm in a good mood today, so I'll add an extra chapter.

I tried the Colorful Galaxy feature, and it was just okay (super tough).

94. I accidentally became famous in interstellar space.

Oh, right, it seems that higher-dimensional life forms can achieve near-omniscience.

That's fine.

After clearing his throat a few times, Fury put the conspiracy theory back down for the time being, acting as if nothing had happened, and even tried to extract some information.

"Now that you two from Aierriel are here, what are your thoughts on the Cosmic Cube's uprising?"

"As Mr. Barton said before, the portal is bidirectional."

Belfast stepped forward and explained, “It’s obvious that someone on the other side is preparing to open this door.”

Upon receiving Belfast's affirmative answer, Fury was momentarily speechless, but then, remembering that Laura and Belfast were there, he immediately calmed down.

You should know that Laura had personally promised Fury that she would help him out once, as she owed him a favor.

If the attackers are hostile and the base's security is insufficient, we can always ask Laura or Belfast for help.

"I see, thank you for letting me know."

Fury nodded slightly, thanking Belfast. He then immediately summoned the base's armed forces to prepare for any potential conflict.

Laura and Belfast found a high platform to sit on, quietly waiting for the appearance of the three princesses of Asgard.

During their conversation, the Cosmic Cube's agitation grew increasingly severe. After a few minutes of solemn observation, it seemed to have finally reached a critical point, and a spatial portal similar to the Space Bridge appeared before Fury's eyes.

Then, holding the scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone, Loki made a proud and dazzling entrance.

With the pride unique to the Asgardian gods, and having gained Thanos's support and the Mind Stone, Loki now feels very arrogant.

"Sir, please put down your weapon."

Fury drew his gun a second time and spoke solemnly to Loki. After witnessing Thor's Mjolnir, Fury no longer dared to underestimate any melee weapon.

Who knows, this might be some kind of ancient artifact.

"Put down your weapons?"

Loki sneered. Fury's words, when they reached Loki's ears, were like telling Thor to put down his hammer.

Loki gently lowered one end of his scepter, pretending to put it down, but the Mind Stone suddenly shot out a beam of light, directly knocking away the agents surrounding him.

The next moment, bullets rained down on Loki, but were blocked by the semi-transparent magic shield, creating ripples.

Using his shield to temporarily block the attack from the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Loki turned and removed the Tesseract. Holding two Infinity Stones in his hands, Loki felt an unprecedented surge of pride.

Since Asgard would not allow him to ascend the throne, he might as well inform Earth and establish his own kingdom there.

This was something Loki and Thanos had agreed upon beforehand.

So let's start with this S.H.I.E.L.D. base.

Just as Loki was about to make his move, he caught a glimpse of Laura watching the show with Belfast from above, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Loki still vividly remembers the scene of Laura easily destroying the Destroyer. Even now, with two Infinity Stones in his possession, Loki wouldn't dare say he could stand a chance against her.

Ahem, after careful consideration, I feel that establishing a nation shouldn't be too hasty. Anyway, we've already got the Cosmic Cube, and there's plenty of time. It's better to retreat first and then make further plans later.

With the Mind Scepter in his right hand and the Tesseract in his left, Loki tried his best to present himself as the king he envisioned: "Mortals, I will spare you this time, but you will be punished for your crime of insulting the king."

As Loki slowly retreated, his golden armor gradually became transparent, as if he might disappear completely at any moment.

Seeing Loki seemingly about to disappear, Fury became anxious.

"Miss Laura, according to the previous agreement between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Ariel, please help stop the intruders!"

okay.

Laura was still wondering whether she should intervene when Fury's plea for help came through.

Pressing down Belfast's attack button, Laura leaped down, summoning her initial ship rigging. As the ship's hull continued to upgrade and Laura modified her own rigging, the full-fledged rigging grew increasingly larger.

Therefore, during combat, Laura had become accustomed to hiding most of her destructive weapons and only using shipboard equipment with conventional weapons.

Even so, the ship's equipment behind Laura was comparable to that of a battleship from Earth's era. Only at this moment could Laura truly believe that she was not a destroyer.

"Hmm, let's use this little gadget."
