American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

After making a plan, Dane continued to devote himself to the research of the Ice Box.

Dane stayed at home doing research, but he didn't know that SHIELD was looking for him all over the world and had already found the new Hell's Kitchen.

However, before the SHIELD people could come in, they were stopped again by their colleagues from the other two intelligence agencies.

As time goes by, this place is developing in full swing. The roads are getting wider and wider, and more and more high-rise buildings are being built. The wealth is visible before our eyes. How can the FBI, CIA and local government departments allow others to come in and reap the benefits?

In their view, SHIELD's current behavior is just to pick peaches!

You said you had official business? Who would believe you?

Nick Fury was so angry that his forehead was throbbing in the Triskelion Building, but he could do nothing about it.

He didn't want to share anything about Asgard with the other two organizations.

He had been unable to sleep or eat since Phil returned and brought back images of the Destroyer fighting Dane.

Not only am I worried about the power of the Destroyer, but I'm also worried about Dane himself!

"This guy is hiding too deeply!" Nick's single eye flashed with a light that was hard to look at. "Who would have thought that such a hot rising star in the capital world, a genius no less than Tony Stark, is actually a superhuman!"

Unlike the feeling he had when he knew Tony was Iron Man, Nick felt only unease towards Dane, a man he could not see through at all. He was used to seeing others in the worst light.

Just yesterday, the ground troops and Hawkeye who returned to Earth from Asgard brought the videos they shot in the divine realm to Nick's office.

He watched the video footage for an entire night and was shocked by the combat prowess displayed by Umbrella and Atlas in this war.

To put it bluntly, Umbrella now has the power to directly capture a country.

Even if one is bold enough to start a war within the United States, it is possible that the country will immediately fall into an irretrievable situation.

Economy, politics, military, civilian influence, personal force, and now diplomatic influence with alien civilizations, all these factors added together, Dane's Umbrella has become a behemoth that even Nick fears!

Nick felt a deep-rooted fear, a fear even deeper than when he first learned that Ronan's fleet was about to invade Earth, because he was facing an enemy he couldn't understand at all!

Chapter 862 Attention from all parties

What Nick Fury's men couldn't do, Alexander Pierce could.

In this world, except for Sokovia, where Umbrella has eliminated its hidden dangers, Hydra spies can be found almost everywhere.

Even New Hell's Kitchen is no exception, especially the two major intelligence agencies, whose level of infiltration is no less than that of SHIELD.

After investigation, Pierce already knew that Sokovia had fallen into the control of Umbrella, and further speculated that it was Dane who destroyed the Baron's Hydra branch.

He didn't know where Dane got the news, but like Nick Fury, he was very wary of Dane.

Although he was also shocked by Dane's personal strength, he was more wary of his armed forces, which could very well become an obstacle to Hydra's control of the world.

But each Hydra branch acts independently, and Pierce was not involved in what the Baron did in Sokovia.

Therefore, although he was a little worried, he still felt that even if Dane knew something, he would not be able to find out about it.

However, just in case, he still mobilized his secret agents buried in the FBI and CIA to spy on Umbrella's secrets in Hell's Kitchen.

Although the Asgard incident was not made public, the shock and impact it caused to those who knew about it were far-reaching.

As the representative of modern Earthlings who had their first fourth-level contact with a complete extraterrestrial civilization, Umbrella secretly received countless attention.

Even the mages of the New York Sanctuary knew about this and reported it to the Supreme Mage.

Through a magical portal, Daniel Durham, the guardian of the New Sanctuary, came to Kamar-Taj to meet with the Sorcerer Supreme.

"Supreme."

Daniel Durham bowed respectfully to the Ancient One who was sitting in meditation.

"Master Durham, the New York Sanctuary should be fine."

"Your Majesty, I have received news in America."

A flash of inspiration flashed across Gu Yi's eyes, and his gaze was deep, as if he could see through fate.

"I see. The divine power of the Asgardians has appeared in the area you guard. Let me see."

Daniel bowed respectfully and stood aside waiting.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he knew that as long as the Supreme Sorcerer wanted to know, she knew everything in this world.

Gu Yi just raised his head slightly, his eyes seemed to penetrate countless time and space, and glimpse into the long river of fate.

In the upstream of time that is like light and flowing water, she has insight into all events.

Then naturally, she turned her gaze to the downstream of fate, passing through countless branch trunks.

Suddenly, a pair of incredibly huge eyes opened above the long river of fate, ruthless, indifferent, and majestic, as if the eyes of heaven were overlooking all living beings.

Gu Yi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately closed his spiritual vision, stabilized his mind, and calmed down again.

At the same time, Dane, who was studying the magic box in the underground base, seemed to have sensed something. He raised his head, took a look, suddenly smiled, and then continued to study with his head down.

In the quiet room of Kamar-Taj, after a few minutes, Ancient One opened his eyes and remained silent.

Daniel Durham keenly noticed that something was not right with Master Ancient One's condition, but his cultivation was far from that of the Supreme Sorcerer. Although he noticed it, he could not get the hang of it.

After a moment, Ancient One regained his composure and spoke calmly, "I now understand that Asgard is not a concern. Our duty is to protect the Sanctuary and prevent the invasion of dimensional demons. We do not need to dwell on worldly affairs."

Daniel clasped his hands together and bowed his head slightly: "I will follow the Supreme's teachings!"

This means that it doesn’t matter.

After Daniel left and there was no one around, Ancient One showed some changes in his emotions.

"It's strange that my fate has changed so much that I only found out today whether that venerable one is a demon god from outside the domain, or..." Having said this, she fell silent.

Then she calculated with her right hand, but her target was not the person just now, but her destined disciple, Stephen Strange.

"It seems he has no intention of changing his fate... Well, it's only been a few years, and he doesn't seem to be evil, so let him be."

After saying that, Ancient One closed his eyes again and entered into a state of tranquility once again.

In Brooklyn, New York, two foreign visitors appeared at this time.

Steve Rogers, wearing a blue baseball jacket and a baseball cap, blended into the crowd with Bucky, who was wearing a black leather jacket and had loose half-long hair.

Steve walked down the street with a flicker of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Brooklyn has become like this..." His home is in this district, and now everything has changed.

However, Bucky pouted and said, "I think this place is no different from the past."

In the past, the people who occupied this place were the Turks, the Turks, and the Turks. But they became a group of Turks.

In comparison, Bucky still thinks the former is more disciplined, and the latter...what the hell is this?

Fortunately, both of them were strong men, so there were no blind people coming to cause trouble.

In fact, many buildings in the United States are over a hundred years old, especially in places far away from commercial centers. The city government invests a lot of money in infrastructure every year, but none of it is implemented.

So Steve actually found the old house where he used to live. Even though the main structure was still there, it had been completely changed. There was even a drug addict living in it, which made Steve feel a little bad.

He said with mixed emotions, "Bucky, I thought our initial efforts could change everything, but now it seems like nothing has changed."

Bucky stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "You and I are just soldiers. That has never changed."

He also had a deeper understanding of this: "Apart from killing people, we can't change anything."

"But there is no war now..."

Bucky sneered: "Oh? Really?" Then who did they just fight?

Steve hesitated to speak. They had been in America for a few days, but they were not in a hurry to find S.H.I.E.L.D. Instead, they wandered around the country and observed it.

He wondered if the country they had sworn to defend was a better place now than it had been when they first arrived.

Turns out, no.

And the facts made Steve ashamed. He learned from museums and the Internet that since World War II, the United States has launched several wars of varying sizes against other countries.

In Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, the United States has launched nearly 200 wars as the initiator for hegemony and resources.

Judging from these data alone, Steve thought that the place he was in was not a beacon of freedom, but the most dangerous country that threatened the peace and stability of the world.

How could it become like this?

After much thought, Steve came to the conclusion that this must be the result of Hydra's planning!

Since they can break up into small groups and hide within S.H.I.E.L.D., it is not impossible for them to use this as a springboard to disrupt the world.

But Bucky disagrees with this. He believes that Hydra is not the main reason. More importantly, it is the problem of the country itself.

Chapter 863 Steve joins S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony's plan

Steve was originally a kind-hearted man. He joined the army with the simple idea of fighting against evil and helping the weak.

After being injected with the super soldier serum, the "goodness" in his character was magnified, and he almost became a living saint.

With his intelligence, he must be aware that what America is doing now is not entirely led by Hydra. The "evil" hidden in human nature is the main reason, otherwise Hydra would not be able to take advantage of the situation.

But as a good person, he chose to believe what he wanted to believe. This was all caused by Hydra. He subconsciously tried to embody all the "evil" in a certain subject.

Bucky is very direct. As someone who has experienced it personally, he is more pragmatic.

If Hydra is the main cause, then the American government is by no means innocent, or at least an accomplice. The longer he lives, the more he feels that something is fundamentally bad about this country.

The two had countless arguments along the way, but neither could convince the other, but they both agreed that Hydra was the main threat.

So the topic was not continued, and as usual, the two put aside the dispute and turned their attention to Hydra.

"How do you plan to investigate?" Bucky asked. "S.H.I.E.L.D. is very secretive and rarely appears in public."

"You're right, so I have to join them so that I can thoroughly investigate all of Hydra from the inside."

Bucky paused, frowning slightly: "You want to join S.H.I.E.L.D."

"That's right." Steve also stopped. He had thought about this many times.

After repeated deductions, he still felt that it would be better to pretend not to know and then investigate secretly.

And he is not alone. The person who reminded him of this that day in Sokovia may be able to help him.

"But if I do that, I won't be able to be with you." Bucky was a little confused.

He is a member of Hydra and it is impossible for him to join SHIELD with Steve, otherwise he will be caught by Pierce the next day with fabricated charges.

Still the kind that is reasonable and legal.

"I know, that's why you won't join me."

"What do you mean?"

"After what happened in Sokovia, I've always suspected that Hydra has more than one or two heads."

"Do you suspect they have more branches out there?"

"Yes, to instigate so many wars around the world, relying solely on the power we have in America is probably not enough."

Bucky glanced at him, wanting to say that was enough, but ultimately held his tongue.

Even if it was self-deception, Steve needed this belief.

"Then how are you going to contact S.H.I.E.L.D.? Are you going to rely on that female agent from last time?"

"Of course not." Steve said, taking off the baseball cap on his head, revealing his handsome face.

As a national hero, his face is actually quite recognizable, but most people would never believe it is real at first glance.

"If S.H.I.E.L.D. is as powerful as we know it is, they will come to us on their own initiative soon. Also, you should leave."

Bucky nodded. "After this separation, we won't be able to communicate directly anymore. Their electronic technology is very advanced, and they'll probably be able to track me down."

Steve pulled out an old computer from his pocket. It had big buttons and a small screen.

"What a shame, I only just learned how to use this thing."

But soon, he let go of his regrets, used his palms to crush the phone into pieces, and then threw the pile of debris that had become electronic waste into the trash can.

"Then let's just say goodbye... Before I go, I have something to remind you, Steve."

"what's up?"

"You have to pay attention to Peggy. She is no longer the same person she was decades ago. She has worked at S.H.I.E.L.D. for so many years. Don't think she is still as innocent as she was back then..."

No matter what Peggy Carter's past identity was, in the decades since she established S.H.I.E.L.D., she has become a very powerful agent, and the words of an agent cannot be fully trusted.
