Chapter 115: Our Earth May Be Under Surveillance
🕑 Added 2025-05-15 13:33:13 +0000 UTCPhil Coulson put forward a very novel point of view, but everyone had to admit that it was also very, very likely to come true.
After all, they all knew that Thor was the lone star of the gods, and Norse mythology included the legend of Ragnarök. If the story were adapted by anyone else, they would probably use this material too. It was very possible.
“From this perspective, it is indeed very plausible!” Nick Fury said.
Just thinking about it gave him a headache. He knew Earth had a protective umbrella, but that umbrella was about to disappear again. What a headache.
“And judging from Rowan’s careful precautions, the existence he fears must be from the magical side, or super criminals with magical powers!” Natasha Romanoff, the Widow, said.
Rowan had been so low-key, almost trying not to affect the so-called plot. He even minimized contact with Tony Stark—after just a brief greeting and earning 10 million, he immediately retreated, simply teaching Spider-Woman Gwen mathematics. His idea was clearly to minimize his impact on this world.
Natasha analyzed, “So he must be afraid—very, very afraid. For example, the 920 Ancient One, whose identity remains unknown, and that Purple Sweet Potato Essence—he must be afraid of magical entities represented by those two!”
Everyone nodded in agreement. It was true. Rowan had indeed been too low-key in the early stages. Even before gaining his abilities, from his psychological activity recorded in the diary, Rowan probably just wanted to be a millionaire.
In this world, one could afford to be as low-key as possible.
But later, nobody knew where he got his power from. Since then, his confidence grew. For example, he began contacting Spider-Woman’s family. Obviously, he felt that with his own power, even if Spider-Woman Gwen’s plot changed, he could control it.
This was a very important point.
Rowan would not rashly do anything completely out of his control.
“This Ancient One—we don’t know who he is—but Purple Sweet Potato Essence is probably involved in a world-ending event.
“It’s very likely Rowan can’t handle this alone, which explains his fear!” Nick Fury said.
“But although he mentioned the Ancient One, he didn’t describe any destructive actions.
“What did he say? Maybe the Ancient One isn’t a supervillain or superhero.
“From a character design perspective, he might be a hermit or something!” Fury added.
“This point is not difficult to analyze.
“Based on the combat power Rowan showed when fighting against the Destroyer armor, and the video evidence afterward, we can analyze his current strength.
“It should be above the original Hulk, placing him at the ceiling of human strength on Earth as we know it, and surpassing Thor!”
Nick Fury explained. “That means if Purple Sweet Potato Essence or the Ancient One is just Hulk or stronger, that alone wouldn’t make Rowan this nervous.”
“From this, we can infer that despite his long-term low-key style, Rowan suddenly exploded the Destroyer armor because his strength had greatly increased.
“In addition to greater confidence, this is likely due to an important opportunity to learn magic!” Fury said.
So far, there are very few extraordinaries on the magical side that they have encountered.
For example, werewolves and vampires barely touch the level of extraordinaries in magic. But such creatures should not be enough to make Rowan so afraid.
“And Rowan knows more than we do. Going to Asgard to study magic was probably a plan he made long ago.
“After all, he already knew the Thor1 plot mentioned in his diary.
“Thor will be deprived of his divine power, and Rowan already knew what would happen to Earth. So it’s not impossible that he planned in advance!” Nick Fury speculated.
“After all, Rowan wrote that he has mastered magical abilities and will not be helpless against powerful magical enemies.
“With Rowan’s strength, there is no opponent on Earth, and yet he still feels helpless. One can imagine how troublesome these magical enemies must be.”
Fury paused, unable to describe the magical threat any better. Thinking about it gave him a headache.
Based on their judgment of Rowan’s cautious and prudent character—or to be blunt, his cowardice, unlike Thor, who acts like the world’s best—
“Maybe the more you know, the more you understand how terrifying this world is.
“There are many frightening existences. But Rowan’s personality made him plan his sudden attack to save Thor for a long time.
“This definitely means the enemy he envisions is extremely powerful.
“He is so strong that even with his current abilities, he feels insecure.”
Nick Fury thought the magical side was tricky and troublesome. That was definitely why.
“But this also shows that our Earth may be under surveillance!” suddenly Agent Hill said softly.
“I don’t know why Rowan is so scared. The Earth is huge, home to billions of people. Even if we are an intelligence agency with branches worldwide, can we really monitor the entire planet? Is it possible to monitor all the world’s information?”
Hill’s rhetorical question stunned everyone. It was impossible, let alone whether they had such ability. Duplication techniques were useless; they couldn’t keep up at all.
“But Rowan has been worrying about this since the beginning of time travel.
“Isn’t it strange? When he first time traveled, he was just an ordinary person.
“If it wasn’t for this diary that we happened to find, who would pay attention to him? Who cares about his affairs? Even now, he’s just a street superhero with influence over a few blocks, roughly the same level as the recently emerged Daredevil...
“Isn’t that strange?”
The more Agent Hill said, the stranger it sounded.
