Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 198 The territory of the four emperors, a new mission begins

Whether it is the Cosmic Cube or the Frost Giant, they are completely unfamiliar existences to Banner.

I won’t talk about the Cosmic Rubik’s Cube.

Not to mention what kind of thing it is, even the name "Cosmic Cube" is the first time Banner has heard of it today.

As for the frost giants.

Compared with the Cosmic Cube, Banner has a little bit of understanding of the Frost Giants.

Although Banner is not a theologian, but a scientist, this does not mean that he knows nothing about Norse mythology.

In Norse mythology, there are records about frost giants.

And this is the only knowledge he currently has about the Frost Giants.

Banner looked at Natasha with confusion, wondering what the Tesseract and the Frost Giants had to do with the goodwill of SHIELD she said.

Unlike Banner who was full of doubts, Roy vaguely guessed Natasha.

No, to be precise, he should have guessed Nick Fury’s plan.

Although this is not the Marvel Cinematic Universe, if nothing else happens, the Cosmic Cube should have been in the hands of SHIELD for a long time.

Judging from the equipment currently displayed by SHIELD, SHIELD's research on the Cosmic Cube is still at a very early stage.

Not to mention anything else, S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet developed the standard energy weapons that Hydra had developed during World War II.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that S.H.I.E.L.D. has completely given up on the research and development of energy weapons for individual soldiers, and instead focuses on the development of weapons of mass destruction based on the energy of the Cosmic Cube.

But even though SHIELD is now using the Cosmic Cube to research weapons of mass destruction, SHIELD still doesn't know much about the Cosmic Cube.

Because SHIELD has not yet discovered the greatest use of the Cosmic Cube, or in other words, the Space Stone.

Although SHIELD still doesn't know much about the Cosmic Cube, they should have figured out how the Cosmic Cube appeared in the hands of the Red Skull.

Temple of Odin in Tønsberg, Norway!

After knowing where the Red Skull got the Cosmic Cube, SHIELD didn't have to put in much effort to know that the Cosmic Cube is related to Odin, the father of the gods in Norse mythology.

The appearance of the Frost Giant is even more substantial evidence that proves the existence of the Frost Giant and Odin.

It was precisely because it was confirmed that Odin and the Frost Giants were real that Nick Fury sent Natasha over to show the so-called goodwill of SHIELD.

On the surface, this is hardly a good intention.

But just looking at Nick Fury's arrangement, you can know that he not only knows about the existence of the Illuminati, but also knows that Roy just joined the Illuminati some time ago and is responsible for handling matters related to gods.

As for why he knew it, either Captain Marvel Carol told him, or Mr. Fantastic Reed told him.

Although the Illuminati has regulations that strictly keep the identity of its members and its own existence secret from the outside world, regulations such as these can be broken on the one hand, and there are loopholes that can be exploited on the other.

With just a few hints from Captain Marvel Carol and Mr. Fantastic Reed, Nick Fury can immediately understand their true intentions.

Only after knowing that he is a member of the Illuminati and is a member who is specifically responsible for dealing with the affairs of the gods, can Nick Fury's arrangement be regarded as showing the goodwill of SHIELD.

If Roy's guess is correct, Natasha will invite them to a secret base on behalf of SHIELD later and let them see the Cosmic Cube and the Frost Giant's body up close.

As for after visiting the Cosmic Cube and the Frost Giant's corpse, it was time to meet to discuss possible cooperation.

Although Roy didn't speak now, after seeing his expression, Natasha knew that he had guessed Nick Fury's true plan.

Since the establishment of Krako, SHIELD has wanted to establish a stable cooperative relationship with Krako more than once or twice.

SHIELD would want to establish a cooperative relationship with Krako so much.

On the one hand, they want to acquire 100% pure vibranium from Krako, and on the other hand, they want to jointly develop vibranium technology with Krako.

Of course, in addition to these more official reasons, S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to cooperate with Clarko also to alleviate some of the previous minor conflicts with Roy.

If possible, Nick Fury hopes to pull Roy onto SHIELD's ship so that Roy, "Earth's Strongest Mutant," can become a member of SHIELD.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Until now, SHIELD has nothing to do with Krako except that it can purchase vibranium alloy from Krako whose purity has been deliberately reduced.

Although vibranium alloy is also a high-quality alloy that far exceeds other metals, no matter how high-quality it is, these vibranium alloys cannot be compared with real vibranium that is 100% pure.

It's not like SHIELD has never thought of extracting the vibranium from vibranium alloy.

But doing so proved even more difficult than establishing a good relationship with Krako.

Like the Adamantium alloy on Wolverine, once the vibranium alloy sold by Krako is blended into other metals, there is no way to extract the vibranium inside.

The vibranium alloy purchased from Krako can at best be re-plasticized.

It's not that difficult to extract the vibranium inside.

Let's put it this way, with SHIELD's current level of technology, secondary refining is impossible.

Roy and Magneto took this into consideration when selling vibranium alloy.

It is precisely because they know that the vibranium in vibranium alloy is almost impossible to be refined twice that they sell vibranium alloy in large quantities.

Otherwise, they would have to worry about some organizations with bad intentions extracting 100% pure vibranium, and then using the vibranium to make weapons to deal with Krako.

After a few minutes of silence, Natasha said to Roy:

"Judging from your appearance, I should have guessed it."

"How about, do you want to go to SHIELD with me and take a look at the Cosmic Cube and the bodies of the Frost Giants?"

Just as Roy was about to refuse, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

"Main Mission: The Territory of the Four Emperors!"

"Mission content: Conquer Jotunheim and obtain the emperor's first territory!"

"Mission reward: New Star Awakening!"

"Task progress: not completed!"

…

Looking at the mission panel in front of him that only he could see, Roy frowned slightly.

The system has not released new tasks for more than half a year.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the system suddenly released a new task.

The territory of the Yonko?

Although Roy did not expect that the system would issue a task at this time, he made a decision after seeing the task reward given by the system.

New stars awaken!

Not to mention just conquering Jotunheim, the country of the Frost Giants, even if they had to conquer Muspelheim, the country of the Fire Giants, he would take on this task.

After half a year of practice, he has fully experienced the difficulty of awakening new stars.

According to his own speculation, with his current cultivation progress, if he could awaken a new constellation within a year, it would be considered a good progress.

If it can be awakened within half a year, it will undoubtedly be a surprise.

This is when he maintains his current cultivation intensity.

If he were lazy, the difficulty of awakening new constellations through cultivation would be greatly extended.

After seeing Roy frown suddenly, Natasha thought Roy was going to reject her directly.

However, the next second, she heard Roy's answer.

"I have never been to any of your SHIELD bases."

"Since you are so sincere, I will go over and visit."
