Chapter 133

Before the burning expedition, Luode planned to make a trip to the Marvel world.

The Marvel world is extremely dangerous, so everything must be done cautiously. The main purpose of this trip is to replenish some of the Space Stone's energy.

Second, to obtain the Desperation Potion, and if possible, Luode wants to capture the doctor who invented it, Mar-Vell.

The pirate world's technology looks very backward, but in fact some places are full of various kinds of black tech.

Luode wants to see if he can replicate the Desperation Potion in the pirate world.

"Didn't we agree to bring us along before? Why do you insist on going alone this time?" Kaido said.

Luode described that world as extremely dangerous, yet he still wanted to go see it! Unexpectedly, Luode directly planned to go alone, and only for a short three days.

"You're not even taking me with you?" Sylvanas walked over and said.

Last time we agreed with her that the two of us would go to the new world together, so how did this kid suddenly change his mind? "Well! That world is quite troublesome, really troublesome, believe me, this is for the good of all of you."

"I will act low-key in that world, and after completing my goal I will return immediately, and if there is any danger I will leave immediately." Luode said.

"Careful sailing gets you a ten-thousand-year boat"—this saying never gets old and is always correct; some worlds can be sailed, but some worlds truly cannot be sailed.

"I know your decision, so I won't say much more, and I've been pretty busy lately too." Sylvanas said.

In the Undercity, there are still a lot of things to handle! The connection of the two worlds, artificial devil fruits, the increase of new Forsaken, the use of the Yellow Spring Fruit—she needs time for all of that.

"I'll be back in at most three days, no need to worry about me." Luode said.

"Since you've made up your mind, kid, then do as you please." Kaido said.

Anyway, it's only three days.

After settling his subordinates, Luode had no hesitation, directly activated his traversal ability, and went to the Marvel universe; this time his schedule was very tight.

With a flash of blue light, Luode vanished before Kaido and Sylvanas.

He reappeared in a very familiar modern city, exactly the same as the place he had left.

The bustling modern city made Luode feel like he'd come home after a long time; upon first entering the Marvel world, he bought some commonly used tech items.

The second time, he adventurously infiltrated S. H. I. E. L. D., using his invisibility ability to secretly absorb a large amount of Space Stone power.

After crossing into the Marvel world, Luode immediately changed into modern clothes, walked out onto the street, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Time was pressing; Luode didn't waste time, heading straight for S. H. I. E. L. D.'s headquarters.

Last time Luode could only use one bottle of invisibility potion to become invisible, but now with the Wild Demigod's power he can fully employ a higher-grade stealth.

After an hour, Luode entered S. H. I. E. L. D.'s interior, relying on the invisibility potion, and easily arrived at the place where the Cosmic Cube was stored.

It seems S. H. I. E. L. D.'s defenses aren't very strict; perhaps they never considered how to deal with an invisible enemy.

The last time I came, I just secretly absorbed some Space Stone power, taking nothing, and S. H. I. E. L. D. not discovering me was understandable.

Luode's palm touched the Cosmic Cube, then he began to mobilize its powerful spatial energy, first filling the magic storage crystals given to him by Xi Er Wa Na Si, then began charging the core of the Emerald Mark.

Last time Luode's magic energy crystals were all bought at high price from the Stormwind City shop, while those provided by Xi Er Wa Na Si were better magic crystals.

One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed, soon it grew dark.

Some S. H. I. E. L. D. personnel began to get off work one after another, while Luode lurked at the place storing the Space Stone, using some illusion spells to conceal himself.

Besides the Space Stone's energy, Luode also needed to find Ji Li An, the inventor of the Desperation Potion; given the time until the New York battle, he should have already made the Desperation Potion.

After one night, at noon the next day, Luode gathered several magic crystals, intending to finish stealing the Space Stone's energy.

In the Emerald Mark, about less than one-tenth of the energy is stored; however, if I kept absorbing, after three days and nights I still wouldn't fill it.

The Emerald Dream Mark given to me by Ai Ze La Si has truly terrifying storage capacity, worthy of the World Soul's hand.

However, time is short; I've already absorbed for a day, now it's time to leave; next time I come, I want to get all six Infinity Stones.

"Sir, since last night the Cosmic Cube's energy has been very active, but unfortunately our instruments still detect no problem." In the office of the Black Man Stewed Egg, Ni Ke Fu Rui's secretary was reporting to him.

"Hmm! When did this situation last occur?" Ni Ke Fu Rui stroked his chin and asked.

"Probably a few months ago, the Cosmic Cube's energy was unusually active, but after just an hour the situation immediately returned to normal,

after that it never showed activity again; but since yesterday noon, the Cosmic Cube's energy has been abnormally active." Xi Er said.

It's really too strange; the Cosmic Cube mysteriously became active, but when they sent people to check, there was no abnormality.

"This is an unknown force beyond human control; the Cosmic Cube contains tremendously terrifying energy." A S. H. I. E. L. D. scientist standing nearby said.

In these scientists' eyes, the Cosmic Cube suddenly becoming energetically active is not a strange thing.

After all, in the monitoring room you see the Cosmic Cube is normal, and sending people to check also finds everything normal.

"Chief Ni Ke Fu Rui, what do you think?" Xi Er looked toward his superior, the one with the stewed-egg head, and asked.

"The Cosmic Cube suddenly becoming active, you say it's an unnatural phenomenon, likely a coincidence.

but I don't believe in coincidences; one time is a coincidence, two times definitely not, and this time it stayed active for a whole night." Ni Ke Fu Rui stood up and said.

"But chief, we sent people in to look; the place storing the Cosmic Cube is normal, all instruments work normally. The only problem is that its energy is relatively active." Xi Er said.

"Come, let's go again; I need to confirm something." Ni Ke Fu Rui stood up and said.

As a top-tier agent, he doesn't believe in any coincidence, only trusts his intuition.

Soon, Ni Ke Fu Rui brought a group of agents to the room storing the Cosmic Cube.

At that moment, Luode had just finished stealing the Space Stone's energy and was about to leave.

Seeing the S. H. I. E. L. D. director approaching, that signature stewed-egg head, Luode immediately retreated to the side and hid quietly.

Could he have discovered me? No way! A demigod's stealth technique, mortals can't detect.

"Take a look, chief! Everything's normal, and the Cosmic Cube has returned to normal; its energy has restabilized, the readings show everything normal." A S. H. I. E. L. D. scientist, after checking some instruments, shrugged helplessly at Ni Ke Fu Rui and said.

"Check all the monitors again, then seal the entire room." Ni Ke Fu Rui said.

A nearby agent nodded, immediately began operating; instantly the whole room sounded alarms, and the door was sealed shut.

Ni Ke Fu Rui directly drew his gun.

"No matter who you are, I know you're here; although I can't see you, I know you're there."

"Chief? Come on, don't joke, there's nothing in this room besides us." The nearby scientist frowned and said.

"No! There's something here, there's something, Hill, and Coulson, what do you think?" Nick Fury's nose twitched, and he asked.

"This matter is indeed strange, sir, the energy of the Tesseract, its continuous activity is indeed abnormal." Coulson said.

The agents' intuition has always been accurate; this accurate intuition has saved their lives many times.

"We've had the Tesseract for decades, this mysterious blue cube has never been abnormal until a few months ago when its energy suddenly became abnormal once."

"At that time it lasted less than an hour, finally we let it go, but this time it lasted a day and night; I have reason to believe that something unknown has happened." Nick Fury said.

"I also want to believe your intuition, sir, so how should we search here?" Hill also drew her weapon and spoke.

Conventional methods seem to have no effect; what they're using is not optical invisibility.

"Smell carefully, do you feel anything off?" Nick Fury took a deep breath, then asked.

"Come on! I didn't smell anything." The scientist beside shrugged.

"It's not about smell, it's a feeling; there's a stranger here." Hill said with a stern expression.

Luode, standing to the side, smiled.

Heh, I'd like to see what you S. H. I. E. L. D. agents can find.

"That's why I had you seal this room; I suspect an invisible person is hiding here, right beside us." Nick Fury said.

Hill and Coulson, standing to the side, nodded together; the three simultaneously drew their pistols and formed a back-to-back circle.

"We know where you are, stranger, come out! You invaded the Homeland Strategic Security Defense Bureau, now come out!" Nick Fury glanced around the room and said.

However, the entire room was silent, with no sound.

"Come on, don't scare me; I believe in science, my instruments tell me there's nothing here, my eyes also tell me there's nothing here." The scientist beside said, speechless.

You agents actually believe in a sixth sense.

"Sometimes instruments deceive you, and your eyes also deceive you." Coulson said.

But Luode, hiding to the side, didn't want to play with them anyway; spatial energy had already been replenished, so Luode directly used spatial power to silently teleport himself away.

Several agents kept wandering in the small room, turning on various instruments to detect; in the end they found no abnormality, the Tesseract quietly stayed in the room, and the room's surveillance was completely normal.

"Sir, something definitely came by; I wasn't sure earlier, but now I'm certain, and they've already left." Coulson came up to Nick Fury's face, sternly said.

"I know, when that guy first came, I had this feeling, but I couldn't be sure."

The Tesseract's energy had never been active before; suddenly it became active, something must have happened.

"Who could it be? Such impressive invisibility technology, as far as I know, no one could pull that off." Hill said.

"I don't know! It could be someone who mastered some invisibility technology, or some unknown entity we don't know of; however, the Tesseract is no longer safe, we need to move it immediately." Nick Fury put away his gun and said.

That feeling that made his heart pound has already disappeared, meaning the target has already left this room.

What a terrifying guy, silently sneaking into S. H. I. E. L. D. and making contact with the Tesseract twice in a row, but what on earth is their goal?

If he wanted to steal the Tesseract, it would be a piece of cake! Nick Fury couldn't figure out the intruder's intention.

"Sir, something happened in New Mexico; a hammer fell from the sky, accompanied by lightning." An agent outside came in holding a file and said.

I got it, Coulson, take people there to handle this, report to me anytime; Hill, I'll design a bait, if that guy dares to come again, it will work." Nick Fury said.

That night, S. H. I. E. L. D. secretly moved the Tesseract, placed a fake Tesseract in the original room, then set up various surveillance and mechanisms, waiting for an unknown enemy to take the bait.

At this time, Luode had already left S. H. I. E. L. D., and began searching for Dr. Killian, as well as Dr. Maya Hansen, who developed the Extremis virus.
