Chapter 407: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 212

In fact, it was exactly as Gwen had thought.

After hanging up the phone, Alexander Pierce turned to the nearby Hydra agent captain and said in a deep voice, "Let them move. Capture Gwen Stacy. This is our only chance. Success is mandatory; failure is not allowed."

He had just learned from the S. H. I. E. L. D. monitoring center that Hawkeye was heading at full speed toward the Island Nation.

Earlier, when Ophelia had hung up on him again, it had further confirmed this.

And the information just reported by the Hydra agent captain about various bases losing contact one after another, along with the crimson light seen before the loss of contact, made one thing clear.

Hawkeye was eliminating their members at a rate of one base every five minutes and was rapidly approaching him.

That phone call just now was his final plan.

After all—

These three Insight Motherships were about to go online. Once they successfully went online, then, beneath the gods, he would be an invincible existence.

He absolutely would not allow failure at this moment.

Hawkeye wouldn't either!

In the end, Alexander Pierce had never been a good person.

The most important point.

Hawkeye already knew that Anna was a fake.

So...

This way is death, that way is death; since that's the case, why not take a gamble?

If he did nothing, he would definitely lose completely this time, but if they captured Gwen Stacy, there was a certain chance of success.

Alexander Pierce admitted that he had the courage to gamble.

Unfortunately, he forgot there was another saying.

It goes—

A gambler, a gambler, gambles until the end, and has nothing left!

Just as the Hydra agent nearby nodded, took out his phone, and prepared to activate two groups of Hydra agents fully armed and waiting outside Palm Street, who could ensure breaching the door within ten seconds.

Boom!

The Black Widow agent Natasha, disguised as the Paris Councilor, moved.

She leaped into a crucifix hold, slamming the Hydra agent holding a gun with crossed arms to the ground with a thud, then quickly seized his sidearm, just as that Hydra agent captain put down the phone, drew his pistol, and prepared to fire.

Boom!

The Hydra agent captain's head snapped back as Natasha blew his head off with a single shot.

The next second.

While pinning a Hydra agent to death with her thighs, Natasha, lying on the ground, repeatedly pulled the trigger of her sidearm at the remaining four Hydra agents who had reacted.

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, the four Hydra agents, each with different forms and movements, fell to the ground in response.

The East Nation Councilor quickly joined the battle, seized a pistol, and said in a deep voice to Alexander Pierce, who had instinctively bent over and then reacted, preparing to do something, "Don't move!"

Alexander Pierce frowned, ignoring the East Nation Councilor, and looked at the Paris Councilor slowly rising from the ground.

Natasha, slowly getting up from the ground, looked at Alexander Pierce: "You are truly despicable, Pierce."

While speaking, Natasha tore off her scalp, revealing her true face, and looked at Alexander Pierce with cold eyes.

Although she didn't know what had happened.

But...

Since Alexander Pierce had gone mad enough to attempt kidnapping the Demon King's Shackles, that meant one thing: Hawkeye was no longer an observer; he had entered the fray.

And he was standing with our S. H. I. E. L. D.

So...

Under these circumstances, how could it be allowed to let Alexander Pierce make that phone call?

Alexander Pierce smiled as he looked at Natasha, who had revealed her true face.

"Natasha."

"I'm sorry. Your plan to coerce Hawkeye by kidnapping Gwen Stacy is destined to fail."

"It doesn't matter."

"My Insight Motherships have already taken off."

Alexander Pierce smiled and turned his head to look outside the large floor-to-ceiling window.

In sight.

Accompanied by the roar of massive engines, the three Insight Motherships carrying the Dong Cha Suan Fa were successively passing through the exit, beginning to ascend toward their designated positions.

Visible to the naked eye, Captain America and the Winter Soldier were fighting fiercely on one of the motherships.

It could be clearly seen.

Captain America was being dominated.

Being dominated.

After all, this time Captain America and Natasha had the help of New York S. H. I. E. L. D., but they lacked the winged Falcon, plus he already knew that the Winter Soldier was his good buddy Bucky.

So...

Captain America, who was normally evenly matched with anyone, naturally got beaten down by the Winter Soldier while deliberately holding back.

Natasha also took a look; her expression didn't change. She looked at Alexander Pierce and said words that cut deep: "When Hawkeye arrives, you won't be able to realize any of your plans, and besides, Hawkeye is the one you pushed to our side."

Alexander Pierce looked at Natasha with a blank expression: "You understand nothing!"

Did he want to offend Hawkeye?

No.

He didn't want to, but what could he do? He had two idiot teammates on his side, and unfortunately, those two idiot teammates had tied him to the same boat from the very beginning.

Whether they are clones of Cui Ke or clones of Zola, once exposed, they are destined to die.

At that time, there was only one solution.

Rely on Anna, deceive Hawkeye, and then pray that Hawkeye never discovers it in his lifetime.

They indeed succeeded.

They failed again, but the arrow was already on the string, and it had reached the point where it had to be released.

So...

If he could do it over, he would immediately kick those two pig teammates out.

Alexander Pierce thought to himself.

Natasha raised her willow eyebrows, hearing that there seemed to be another meaning in Alexander Pierce's words: "What else did you do to Hawkeye?"

Alexander Pierce's face looked grim.

Just then.

With a loud Boom, everyone in the conference room turned their heads to look outside.

Into view.

A thick bolt of Lei Ting flashed with a Crack, and immediately after, a deity made a brilliant entrance amidst the flash of Lei Ting.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by Lei Ting armor, Thor, the Lei Shen, made his entrance above the Insight Helicarrier, swinging his Lei Shenzhichui and landing on the command deck of the Insight Helicarrier, a golden light enveloping the Helicarrier's deity flashed by, rippling out in waves.

But...

The Helicarrier remained intact, not even moving an inch.

Natasha, who was also turning to look at this scene outside, changed color and looked at Alexander Pierce.

"Vibranium Jin Hudun!"

"Yes."

Alexander Pierce laughed: "This is why the Insight Plan was delayed until now to launch. In this world, except for Hawkeye, even the Lei Shen cannot shake the defense of the Vibranium Jin Hudun."

A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Natasha's mouth: "Hawkeye is already on his way."

Alexander Pierce fell silent.

Yes.

Hawkeye is on his way.

Just then.

Commander Victoria Hand's voice came through Natasha's concealed earpiece: "Tony has arrived too."

As the words fell.

Bang!

A streak of red light flashed across the sky, and Iron Man Tony Stark landed on another Insight Helicarrier in his standard classic pose.

Immediately after.

Tony Stark's voice directly accessed the secret communication system established by Commander Hand.

"What should I do?"

"Override the control program; that is your strength."

"Understood."

Tony Stark, clad in his Iron Armor, nodded: "Jarvis!"

Jarvis responded immediately.

Sharon's voice was filled with excitement: "Commander, did you contact Thor and Tony?"

Commander Hand, far away in Niuyuecheng, watching the arrival of the three giants of the Avengers, felt her expression ease slightly: "Tony was contacted by Coulson; Coulson has Pepper Potts' private number and contacted Tony who was in the Land of the Morning Calm."

"Then Thor..."

"When Hawkeye passed through Xinmoxigezhou, Thor sensed him and came over after parting ways with Hawkeye."

"Hawkeye is coming too?"

Sharon, who was leading the S. H. I. E. L. D. agents in a fierce battle against Hydra agents, heard this and was even more overjoyed: "Hawkeye has entered the fray."

Commander Hand looked at the large screen, which displayed S. H. I. E. L. D. bases being relit one by one, listened to the voices of surviving agents from various regions beginning to contact S. H. I. E. L. D. one by one, and smiled as she said: "Yes, Hawkeye has entered the fray."

Sharon's spirit lifted: "Where is Hawkeye now? Has he arrived?"

Just as Commander Hand was about to speak, another voice echoed through the command center.

"Level 6 S. H. I. E. L. D. Agent Jack Morse from the West Virginia S. H. I. E. L. D. branch reporting to the Commander."

"The Phoenix just rescued us."

Accompanied by the liberation of the West Virginia S. H. I. E. L. D. branch, on the large screen, all the states leading to the Special District had been lit up.

Commander Hand's eyes lit up.

"Hold on a little longer; the Phoenix will arrive soon."

"Too..."

"Not soon."

"He is already here."

Natasha, who was confronting Alexander Pierce, looked at the rainbow light entering her sight, sweeping towards them at an extremely high speed, and spoke out, then turned her head to look at Alexander Pierce.

"Hawkeye is here."

"You have lost!"

"..."
