In addition, there was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s tight security.
Although Raine couldn't retrieve the Space Stone from S.H.I.E.L.D., Ophelia, at Raine's behest, used her authority to leave a set of tiny runes on the Tesseract long ago. With those runes, Raine could sense the Tesseract's location and status at any time.
Meanwhile, Raine also deployed a space-guided array within this military base.
Once Loki activates the Space Stone inside the Tesseract to its maximum extent, it will link with the spatial access array when it is activated to its peak state.
At that time, not only the Cosmic Cube, but also some of the city buildings around the Cosmic Cube will be moved directly to this military base.
When the Cosmic Cube was moved here.
Raine would take the Space Stone from the Tesseract immediately without damaging it.
Similarly, the battlefield was moved here.
This can also minimize the damage to cities and casualties caused by war.
Therefore, before the war arrives, Ryan needs Frank, John, and others to make preparations in advance.
Raine didn't want his extraordinary army to suffer heavy casualties due to a lack of preparation.
These super lizardman warriors are all perfect fusions of the third-generation lizard serum.
Rennes spent billions of dollars on just these three thousand people.
A new month has arrived! I'm begging for subscriptions, monthly tickets, custom subscriptions, and flowers!
Chapter 283 The Meeting of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers
Just as Raine was preparing a spatial transfer array, ready to transfer the battlefield over at any time.
At this moment, within S.H.I.E.L.D.
Ophelia and her group gathered in a conference room.
It was accompanied by a slight buzzing sound.
Almost unnoticed by everyone, the entire conference room was detached from the base and, after a series of transfers, was transformed into a plug-in and assembled inside a super-large fighter jet.
This is different from the Insight Project that Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce were planning.
After becoming the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Ophelia did not develop any fancy space carriers.
At Ryan's suggestion, Ophelia invested the majority of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funds into fighter jet research, restarting the old Pegasus Project.
With the Cosmic Cube in hand.
Currently, S.H.I.E.L.D. has acquired several extremely futuristic fighter jets.
The fighter jet that Ophelia and the others were on was, to be precise, a space fighter jet, which was already capable of preliminary orbital flight in space.
This is essentially a prototype of a space fighter, or even a spaceship.
This is the path that true Earth technology should take.
Instead of turning large sums of money into massive ships suspended in the near-Earth sky, making them targets that anyone can attack.
If it were the past.
This semi-space-age technology is sure to arouse curiosity and interest among everyone present.
But now, even though everyone could see the near-Earth orbit of space with just a turn of their head, everyone's attention was focused on Coulson and Sitwell.
Meanwhile, Coulson and Sitwell were recounting their experiences at the secret base.
After a long while.
Ophelia looked at the two of them with a frosty expression and said, "So, you still don't know who the enemy is?"
Sitwell instinctively evaded responsibility, saying, "The entire base was on the verge of collapse and needed to be evacuated..."
boom!
Ophelia slammed her hand on the table and said, "Is this why you retreated without firing a single shot?"
Sitwell: "..."
No matter how many reasons there are, or how clever the excuses may be.
Ophelia hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.
After the enemy invasion, everyone at the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. secret base retreated without firing a single shot, relying solely on a few conversations between Johnny and Banner.
Regardless of the circumstances, this applies to an intelligence organization that is essentially a violent institution.
This is a great disgrace.
Beads of sweat were sliding down Sitwell's bald head.
Coulson stepped forward with a sense of responsibility and said, "Sir, it was I who gave the order to retreat because we were unable to resist the enemy at that time."
“During our conversations with Johnny and Banner, we heard the name Loki.”
"And before we retreated, we brought back some of the lab's recordings..."
Under Ophelia's angry gaze, as fierce as a lioness.
Coulson, gritting his teeth, quickly broadcast the intelligence he had obtained.
Although we couldn't see the footage, we can imagine some of the conditions in the laboratory at that time just from the recordings.
Ghost Rider Johnny and Dr. Banner both have monster-like entities sealed within them.
It can be said that these two are basically the strongest fighters in the Avengers besides Carol Danvers.
However, it was clear from the recording that the enemy came from the depths of space and possessed absolute power, easily toying with and controlling Johnny and Banner.
Under these circumstances, the anger of the crowd towards Coulson and Sitwell lessened somewhat.
A group of powerful individuals from the other side of the universe, capable of easily defeating Johnny and Banner.
The choice of SHIELD's ordinary agents not to confront such an enemy head-on was the right one; otherwise, it would only have added to their casualties.
Especially after hearing the names Loki, Supergiant, and Black Dwarf.
Even Carol, who had been calm all along, couldn't help but furrow her brows and become serious.
Carol is the only one among them who has ever been to the universe.
After seeing Carol's expression.
Ophelia spoke up directly, saying, "Carol, we know a little about Loki. He's the third prince of Asgard, the supergiant star and the black dwarf..."
"They are Thanos's henchmen."
Carol had a serious expression and exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Even though none of them had ever heard of Thanos, Carol's attitude still put a heavy pressure on everyone.
Tony asked sharply, "Who is Thanos?"
"Or perhaps our real enemy is Thanos?"
Just as everyone's eyes were on Carol.
Carol said with a solemn expression, "Thanos is a cosmic overlord in the Milky Way, or rather, a cosmic executioner who follows a so-called balance policy."
Thanos believed that the number of living beings in the universe was too large, and the resources consumed every day far exceeded the resources created by the expansion of the universe.
"Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of the universe, Thanos spent hundreds of years conquering many inhabited planets. After completing the conquest, he would randomly select half of the population and kill them..."
Wow!
As Carroll spoke, everyone in the conference room stood up in surprise.
Dr. Reed couldn't help but ask, "Is there no one in the universe who can stop this kind of atrocity?"
Carol shook her head and said, "Thanos is very smart. When he was weak, he did not choose to attack the areas ruled by the three great empires, but instead chose those weaker civilizations."
"And this aggressive act of conquest has attracted a great many cosmic thugs to follow him."
"By the time everyone started to notice Thanos's actions, Thanos already had five generals, two cosmic races, and countless spaceships."
"The Kree Empire has clashed with Thanos several times."
"But in the end, when I returned to Earth, I heard that a general of the Kree Empire had already defected to Thanos!"
Everyone: "..."
The mere mention of a cosmic overlord of this level is enough to give anyone a headache.
Johnny the Human Torch simply plopped down in his chair and said, "So, Thanos's next target for conquest is our Earth?"
"Damn it, should I go back to Earth now and hurry up and spend all the 300 million my brother-in-law gave me?"
"A 50/50 choice, that's really..."
"Shut up, Johnny!" Just as the Human Torch was looking dejected, Susan snapped at him, "Carol, based on what I learned on Dragon Ball Island, Earth is under the rule of Asgard in the universe. Thanos shouldn't dare to provoke Odin, right?"
Tony said quietly, "That's why, in the recording, the enemy this time is Loki leading the team."

There are always plenty of smart people in S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers.
