Chapter 428: Loki
Savior... came!
But what made Coulson feel ironic was that the one who saved mankind was not God, but a death god!
Death god, who was clearly responsible for harvesting souls, was now doing a job to save mankind. Especially with the prayers of the old researcher next to him, it made the scene more ironic and mocking.
"Quick, the source of the explosion is that cube!"
Nick Fury pointed at the Tesseract and shouted, "It is about to explode!"
He couldn't care less about the shock now, and he couldn't care less about death god and hollow. The situation was really very dangerous. The Tesseract could explode at any time. They had to hurry up and transfer the stone. Otherwise, millions of people in New York would die for it.
"This is, the second time."
Lod's cold eyes were like a sharp blade, as if they were deeply piercing into the hearts of everyone. "Your endless greed has attracted an uncontrollable great disaster, but every time, you let Soul Society wipe your ass."
"It's not what you think..." Nick Fury was still struggling to argue. "It was really an accident this time. We just wanted to use its infinite energy to realize the global energy sharing. This is a major development for humanity, not for our own selfish desires."
"Heh ---"
Lod revealed a look of disdain and sneered, "A person standing on the moral high ground and shooting down with his back to the sun. Sure enough, at any time, he will always be bright, great, and righteous. Do you think so, Mr. Nick Fury?"
Nick Fury's face was gloomy, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched faintly. He could not think of any reason to refute.
No matter how many excuses he found, he could not avoid the most critical problem. In order to pursue greater power, he put millions of people in danger. Even because there was no solution, he could only seek help from the person he had identified as 'danger'.
"The gun is ringing."
"Do you see who fired the gun?"
"I can't see clearly. He is standing on the moral high ground. He is so dazzling under the sun."
Nick Fury thought that he was protecting humans, but he ignored the most important point, which was that he placed his own will above the entire group, causing humans to unknowingly push into an endless abyss!
These vile characters that were engraved in the depths of his soul urged Nick Fury to gradually walk from light to the abyss.
The reason why Lod said this was because he wanted to remind Nick Fury.
No matter what, you must always remember that you must never let the excessive desire devour you.
The earth shook violently, and it let out a cry that could not bear the burden.
The huge shock wave carried tens of thousands of degrees of high heat and instantly set off a destructive wave hundreds of meters in diameter. Then, it slammed down heavily with overwhelming power, tearing the steel alloy base into pieces like a meat grinder!
All tangible and intangible substances were annihilated in this instant!
In the midst of the smoke and dust rolling ruins, a transparent wall stood still. In the inverted triangular cone-shaped defensive barrier, everyone miraculously survived. They were neither torn apart by the impact of the explosion nor cooked by the high temperature!
And the creator of the miracle was the man who looked indifferent.
Coulson, who had just survived a calamity, panted heavily. There was still a trace of lingering fear on his face. "Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Lod. If you hadn't saved us, I'm afraid... we would all be dead by now!"
However, Lod didn't have the slightest intention of paying attention to him. Instead, there was a trace of seriousness in his eyes as he stared in the direction of the Tesseract.
In the billowing smoke and dust, there seemed to be a golden light shining in it.
Step... step... step... step...
In the empty ruins, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded.
Nick Fury and Coulson's expressions changed slightly. They widened their eyes as they looked inside the thick smoke. It was originally the location of the Tesseract.
The first thing that entered everyone's eyes was a curved golden antler.
Then, a short staff with a blue gem embedded at the front end of the staff stretched out from the billowing smoke. Then, an old man, finally appeared in front of everyone.
The old man was wearing a curved golden antlered helmet. He was wearing a dark green gold-encrusted robe. His white and mottled hair spread out wantonly. His gloomy eyes seemed to have gone through years and hardships. His entire body exuded an invisible pressure.
"Ah, the timing is just right."
The old man glanced at the Tesseract that had fallen, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Sure enough, no matter how many thousands of years have passed, humans are still unable to contain their greed."
"Loki?"
Lod frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
"You know me?"
Loki raised his eyebrows and looked at Lod in surprise. "Why don't I remember? I seem to have seen you before."
