Chapter 72
Fury: Has my luck been eaten by a dog?
The command center was completely silent.
All eyes were focused on Nick Fury's face, or more accurately, on the slightly trembling black card in his hand.
"Chief, as the king of spies, your luck can't be too bad, can it?"
Tony leaned against the gashapon machine, his fingers tapping lightly on the glass panel, making a crisp sound.
"Shut up, Stark."
Fury's one eye swept over the crowd.
Look what these guys got!
The Black Hole Armor capable of destroying the world, the infinitely enraged Super Saiyan Hulk, powerful Stand users, and even a Devil Fruit that can turn people into diamonds.
This isn't just luck, it's fate!
"I'm not doing this for myself."
Fury stepped forward with a cold expression.
"I did this to test the machine's stability and to set an example for the agents."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Li Ang cracked sunflower seeds and nodded perfunctorily.
Fury's lips twitched slightly as he slapped the black card onto the card reader.
"call……"
Fury adjusted his breathing, mimicking Jane's movements, closed his eyes, and constructed his strongest desire in his mind.
I need the power to control the situation!
With this heavy expectation, Fury turned the knob.
Click! Click! Click!
The machine roared, and ten dusty gashapon capsules rolled out along the slide.
There was no golden light.
There is no rainbow halo.
There wasn't even the slightest bit of bright lighting effect.
The entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"This...it's just that it looks plain on the outside."
Fury tried to explain, but a fine layer of cold sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.
His hands trembled as he picked up the first gashapon capsule.
Click.
The capsule toy opened, and a bottle of green liquid appeared in my hand.
[Item: BaWang Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo (Special Effect Edition)]
[Description: Rich in ginger extract, it becomes incredibly smooth and shiny with a satisfying "Duang!".]
A deathly silence.
All eyes turned to Fury's shiny, reflective head.
"puff……"
I don't know who couldn't hold back and let out a soft, slurred laugh.
Fury's temples bulged with veins as he silently placed the shampoo on the table, his movements as stiff as a robot.
"It was an accident, it was an accident."
He picked up the second one.
[Item: Squidward's Recorder]
[Description: An artistic treasure from Bikini Bottom; blow it, and all living beings within a 500-meter radius will suffer continuous mental pollution, their sanity plummeting.]
"What the hell kind of weapon is this?!"
Fury finally couldn't hold back and growled.
"Mental pollution? You want me to go to the battlefield and play the flute so badly it'll suffocate the enemy?!"
"In a sense, this is also a sonic weapon," Li Ang said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
Fury gritted his teeth and increased his hand speed.
The third one.
【Item: Rainproof lighter】
[Description: This tobacco can be lit even in a storm, but please note that it will only ignite when it is raining.]
The fourth one.
[Item: Truth Stethoscope]
[Description: Wear this, and you can hear the subtext in anyone's words.]
The fifth one, the sixth one...
Nine gashapon capsules in a row, all of them were this kind of trash full of pranks!
Fury's face had turned so black it blended into the bottom of the pot.
If looks could kill, this gashapon machine would have been torn to pieces eight hundred times over.
"The last one..."
Fury felt his blood pressure was about to burst through the top of his head.
He looked at the last slightly larger gashapon capsule in his hand; it was his last hope.
It must be a weapon!
Even a kitchen knife would do!
Click.
Gashapon machine activated.
A black, highly elastic garment lay quietly in his palm.
【Item: Powerful Shapewear (Plus Size)】
[Introduction: Still troubled by middle-age weight gain? Still self-conscious about your belly? Wear this and instantly achieve a captivating S-curve, regaining your confidence and becoming a charming man again!]
boom!
Fury's string snapped completely.
"OMG Fuck!!!"
Fury threw that damn shapewear to the ground and even stomped on it twice, his signature roar echoing throughout the mothership's main hall.
"This is your machine?! One million! One million US dollars! And this is the junk you give me?!"
"I want to file a complaint! This is a scam! This is targeted!"
Seeing this usually sullen and cold-blooded king of secret agents jumping up and down like a shrew, Tony finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Hahahahaha!"
Tony laughed so hard he clung to Captain America, tears streaming down his face.
"Jarvis! Play that at his wedding!"
"Extra large size..."
Natasha's shoulders trembled violently, and she pinched her thighs hard to keep from laughing out loud.
Even Steve, who always maintained a serious demeanor.
"Jenny! Jenny, Jenny! (Hilarious!)"
The five Squirtle turtles pointed at Fury and let out a unified burst of laughter.
They were even rolling around on the ground, looking just like Tony, with that smug, punchable expression.
"Li! Ang!"
Fury turned his head, his one eye fixed on the shopkeeper who was drinking tea, his eyes burning with tangible rage.
"Cough cough."
Li Ang put down his teacup and spread his hands with an innocent expression.
"Chief, it really is a matter of probability. Look, Agent Hill just randomly drew a card and got the item, didn't he?"
Following Li Ang's finger, I looked in the direction he was pointing.
Hill was holding a silver-white pistol with an embarrassed expression.
[Item: Desert Eagle with Unlimited Ammo (S.H.I.E.L.D. Exclusive Skin)]
There is no harm without comparison.
Fury felt a tightness in his chest.
Just as Fury was about to draw his gun and take this damned machine down with him...
Woo! Woo! Woo!
A piercing red alarm suddenly blared throughout the command center, interrupting the farce.
The crowd, who had been watching the show and criticizing it, suddenly changed their expressions.
The agents swiftly returned to their posts, their fingers flying across the keyboards in a blur.
"Report the situation." Fury's pain and resentment disappeared, and he turned to look calmly at the screen.
"Loki has appeared in Stuttgart, Germany!"
Agent Hill spoke very quickly, bringing up the images on the big screen.
On the screen, a gaunt figure in a trench coat and holding a scepter is swaggering around a lavish banquet.
"What is he doing?" Captain America frowned.
"He's...taking hostages," Hill analyzed. "But he's not hiding his whereabouts; it's more like he's deliberately provoking us."
"provocative?"
Tony sneered and pressed his hand against the reactor on his chest, his entire body covered in black and white liquid metal.
That's because he hasn't been truly beaten yet.
Fury straightened the collar of his trench coat and scanned the room with his one eye.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
"It seems our new equipment is just missing a test subject."
Fury's voice was filled with a murderous aura; clearly, he wanted to vent all the anger he had suffered from the lottery draw on Loki.
"Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man."
"Attack!"
"receive!"
Steve grabbed the shield, his eyes resolute.
He touched the Spark Lens in his pocket. Although Li Ang said that the thing only had a 30-minute time limit, he felt that he might not even need to transform to deal with Loki.
With the roar of its engines, the Quinjet cut through the sky and headed straight for Germany.
……
The command center gradually quieted down.
All that remained were the busy commands from the operators.
Li Ang remained seated in his usual chair, now holding a handful of sunflower seeds.
Beside him, Peggy Carter, shrunk to the size of a twelve-year-old, was swinging her short legs and holding a cup of hot cocoa.
"Store Manager."
Peggy looked at Loki, who was giving an arrogant speech on the big screen, and a hint of sympathy flashed in her big eyes.
"How many minutes do you think he can last?"
Li Ang, while cracking sunflower seeds, couldn't help but ponder.
The Avengers' previous battle against Loki was a difficult first battle for the assembled heroes.
Is the current Avengers fighting Loki?
That's called a max-level character going back to the newbie village to stomp on newbies.
"A few minutes?"
"If Tony hadn't controlled his strength..."
"Loki is probably already thinking about where he'll be reincarnated in his next life."
Li Ang clapped the sunflower seed shells off his hands, remembering Loki's ultimate goal.
Let's wait and see.
"This will be the most unforgettable experience of the Asgardian princess's life."
