Chapter 68: Become A S.H.I.E.L.D. In The Shape Of Someone Else!
🕑 Added 2025-03-13 15:49:40 +0000 UTC"Scene people?"
Eric didn't understand why they were called that.
But without giving it much thought, he knew that the other party was mocking him.
Without responding, he continued trying to use the only metals available to attack the diamond wall.
At that moment, Thor ran over, looked up, and shouted, "Aaron, well done!"
Then he shouted at the imprisoned Magneto, "Little thief who took advantage of others, now you know the power of the gods?"
"When I pick up the hammer, I'll make you suffer."
However, in the face of Thor's words, Eric completely ignored him.
He was still focused on what he was doing.
"Don't bother, he can't hear you."
Aaron jumped down from more than ten meters and landed perfectly.
At this height, with his physical fitness, he didn’t even need to use magic.
"In order to prevent him from escaping, I specially created an ultra-thick diamond wall that won't be affected by his magnetic control."
"Magnetic force control? No wonder he can control our armor and countless metals. It turns out his ability is to control magnetic force." Sif and the others suddenly understood.
"Magnetic power control? The god of magnetic power! He is also a god? He actually mastered the power of magnetic force."
Thor looked at Magneto in surprise.
In his mind, anyone who could control a certain power was considered a god.
But does Midgard also have gods?
"No, it looks like he's just a special human being with a genetic mutation to gain some incredible powers."
"But in essence, he is still human."
Aaron explained casually without going into too much detail.
His current identity was from Asgard, and he wasn’t like Heimdall, who was always watching. The more he spoke, the more exposed he became.
Thor nodded, half-understanding.
Although he, as a prince, had received more resources, Thor wasn’t exactly the type to learn about things seriously.
Such as gene mutations; he only knew what the term meant.
"The changes in Midgard are significant. There is such a strong individual. Perhaps we should pay more attention to this place to prevent any accidents." Hogan suggested.
"Yes, this man named Magneto can control Uru metal. He poses a fatal threat to our soldiers."
"Put him in the Nine Realms, and he would definitely be considered a strong one!"
Sif, who had confronted Magneto directly, spoke with authority.
They were the absolute elites of Asgard, yet they struggled with Magneto, even almost dying because they didn’t fully understand his powers.
Midgard must be closely watched.
"What do we do with him? You decide."
At that moment, Aaron knocked on the diamond wall and spoke casually.
"Kill him! If you dare to blaspheme the majesty of the gods, you must die!" Vostagg suggested.
"I agree. When we came, he was still trying to attack Thor. Even if we don’t kill him, he must be brought back to Asgard by the Father of Gods..."
Hogan was about to continue but suddenly remembered that Odin had fallen into a deep sleep, and now Loki was in charge. So he corrected himself, "Let's kill him."
"Thor, what do you think?"
Aaron didn’t care about Magneto’s life. After all, he was just a fourth-level Mutant, and it didn't matter much.
If Magneto hadn't been an "acquaintance" from his previous life, he would've disposed of him easily.
"Leave him! I will teach him a lesson myself!"
Thor didn't hesitate.
In his view, killing Magneto now would make his humiliation irreparable.
Every time someone mentioned today’s events in the future, it would feel like an insult.
Aaron shrugged casually.
His purpose was to observe the changes in the plot and increase his understanding of the world.
Saving Thor was easy.
He didn’t care whether Thor could defeat Magneto in the future.
At the very least, today wouldn't be the day he almost died.
Well, nothing major should happen in the end.
Aaron believed that if something happened to Thor, Odin would immediately be resurrected and come to the rescue.
Maybe this time, it would even ruin Thor’s chances of coming back.
On the other side...
"Sir, things have changed again," Phil Coulson reported seriously.
"Could it be that aliens are coming again?" came a speechless voice from the phone.
"No, Magneto lost!"
"The aliens that came this time are strange! His ability... it’s a little too much. Our people can’t analyze their energy composition."
"The data analysis results show that it is beyond our scientific and technological understanding!"
Phil Coulson handed over the data analysis submitted by his subordinates. It showed two words: unknown.
Meanwhile, at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters...
"Magneto lost?!"
"Where are they now?"
Upon hearing the new situation reported by Phil Coulson, Nick Fury looked surprised.
As the leader of the hawks, Magneto, whose ability was beyond doubt, had long been at the top of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most-wanted list. He posed a great threat to social stability.
Had it not been for the assistance of the dovish Charles, Magneto would have used his final trump card long ago.
Nick Fury subconsciously touched the communicator in his pocket, his expression constantly changing.
Someone had beaten Magneto...
Was he an enemy? Or a friend?
Phil Coulson glanced at a few people who were talking and immediately explained the situation.
"Magneto is trapped in a diamond cage that suddenly appeared? That guy can finally be honest for a while."
Nick Fury muttered to himself.
When he heard that the powerful man who claimed to be Thor seemed to be discussing with others how to deal with Magneto, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
Should he test the opponent’s details?
There were still some injured people at the scene, and the opponent hadn’t killed them, which meant they weren't overly brutal.
There was a possibility for contact.
But given the opponent’s strong power and unknown origin...
"This can’t be handled by us."
After a moment of consideration, Nick Fury turned his attention to Charles.
Matters that could potentially be dangerous would naturally be handed over to others.
It wasn't worth risking elite S.H.I.E.L.D. agents for this.
He had once considered recruiting Mutants from Mutant Academy, but due to Charles’ strategic mind, that plan had failed.
Charles was an extremely dangerous Mutant leader.
Even though he appeared kind and was close to ordinary people, Nick Fury, who always thought of the worst-case scenario, dared not take him lightly.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files on Charles were even listed as extremely dangerous, one step above Magneto!
After all, no one wanted to accept the existence of a Mutant who could silently kill from miles away.
Unless absolutely necessary, Nick Fury wouldn't approach Charles.
He feared Charles' mutant ability.
As S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, there were too many secrets in his mind.
If those were leaked, it could pose a huge threat to the country and humanity.
So, he made a phone call.
"Hey, put Charles in touch with me."
At the same time...
It was also in the office on the top floor of the Trident Building.
This was the office of Alexander Pierce, former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director and current Security Council President.
But he also had another identity—the leader of one of the HYDRA factions.
Pierce had been watching Nick Fury closely.
After hearing about the new 084 object appearing in New Mexico, they had sent someone to follow up.
Not long after Nick Fury received the information, Pierce also received it.
"A group of suspected aliens appeared in that place of no significance, and they even defeated the mighty Magneto."
Pierce knocked on the table unconsciously, wondering if this new development would negatively affect HYDRA’s plans.
They were currently executing a plan that, if successful, would rid them of dangerous individuals who could hinder the global unification goals of HYDRA, including the self-righteous Mutants.
But now, there was an unexpected complication.
In addition to dealing with earthlings, did HYDRA now have to face aliens?
No! Pierce couldn't let this happen.
He needed to take countermeasures in advance. Any character who wasn’t in the plan could pose a threat.
After thinking for a moment, Pierce made a phone call to his subordinates.
After a brief conversation, he walked to the window.
Looking down at the city below, he felt a sense of control.
He enjoyed this feeling, as if he controlled the whole world.
"Soon, HYDRA will become the master of the world."
"Whether they are Mutants, monsters, or aliens, nothing will stop HYDRA’s rise!"
Back to the group...
Regarding Magneto's disposal, no results had been given yet.
The main issue was whether to bring him back to Asgard and imprison him or leave him on Earth.
Sif and others leaned toward capturing him for Asgard.
Only there, under their supervision, could they rest easy.
But Thor vehemently disagreed.
He didn’t want too many people to know about it.
Midgard didn't matter. But as for Asgard, he’d inform Heimdall when he returned and ask him to keep it a secret.
But if Magneto was brought back, once asked about it, it would lead to a direct death.
He didn’t want that kind of scandal for Asgard.
And while they were still discussing, Aaron quietly controlled the minds of the survivors in the temporary camp and learned more about the world.
With his LV5 soul power, invading the minds of ordinary agents was effortless.
"Oh, good luck, the first one is a HYDRA agent!"
Aaron raised an eyebrow and suddenly became interested.
He knew the name of the Snake Shield Bureau.
At that moment, he found a random agent... and won the lottery.
But soon, Aaron frowned. "An agent after all, it’s really useless to know so little."
"Even information about HYDRA is nearly zero."
Not getting the information he wanted, Aaron shifted his focus and probed other people's minds.
"Huh? Another HYDRA agent?"
"Good guy, this is a snake's den!"
Aaron smirked in high spirits.
While Thor and the others were still debating, he was probing the minds of the people around him.
"As expected of the Snake Shield Bureau, more than half of the living people are spies."
"Whether it’s a field agent or a scientific researcher, there’s HYDRA everywhere."
"This huge organization may have already taken on someone else's form."
"If I work harder, I might even surpass the winery and incubate children for the old king next door."
After a random exploration, Aaron satisfied his curiosity.
S.H.I.E.L.D., the Snake Shield Bureau, as expected, there is me in you and you in me, an inseparable symbiosis.
Still, Aaron didn’t want to take any action.
He wasn’t a busybody. Why chase mice if there's nothing to do?
Under Thor’s insistence, they agreed.
But the problem arose again—who would guard Magneto?
Several people looked to Aaron.
Aaron immediately refused. "Look what I'm doing? I caught him for you, and you still want me to take care of him? Get out of here!"
"Aaron, you’re the god of magic, just make a duplicate. It’s fine. I’ll treat you to a good meal when we return."
Thor knew it was his fault, but he couldn’t help it. No one knew how long Odin's curse would last.
As long as Thor couldn’t lift Mjolnir, he couldn’t be Thor.
"You're dreaming!" Aaron shot back.
At that moment, a figure suddenly walked out of the temporary camp.
Ignoring the injury on his foot, the person sincerely said, "Guests from beyond the sky, why don’t you leave Eric with us to guard?"
"Eric? That’s him?"
Sif glanced around, doubtful. "Just you? Can you even handle this?"
After the battle between Eric and Aaron, the temporary camp had been in a terrible state.
It was hard to believe that this person had the ability to guard Magneto.
"The power of the mind! Who are you?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow, already knowing.
He was certain the person who controlled the body was Charles.
Now, on Earth, only he had this level of spiritual power.
Aaron wanted to test the strength of his mental ability.
But after thinking for a moment, he gave up.
Although he hadn’t fully unleashed LV5’s mental power, he was sure he couldn’t do it as easily as the other.
Yet, he wasn’t intimidated.
If the other party tried to probe his mind, he wouldn’t hesitate to obliterate him.
Charles was also smart. Facing an "outsider" with unknown origin and immense power, he wouldn’t risk probing his mind as others might.
But Aaron believed Charles had likely been peeking at others’ memories all this time.
It was an addictive habit.
Charles simply hadn’t been caught doing it.
At that thought, Aaron released his mental power, enveloping the group.
He was ready to fight back at any sign of trouble.
The man intended to respond to Sif’s question but froze when he saw Aaron's gaze, his expression filled with surprise.
At the same time, there was a sense of relief in his heart.
"Mysterious extraterrestrial visitor, please allow me to introduce myself."
"I am the founder of the Mutant school, Charles Xavier, an old man who longs for the harmonious coexistence of humans and Mutants."
"Magneto Eric was once my friend, but due to some misunderstandings, he chose another path."
"I apologize for any offense caused."
"Since you lack the energy to watch over him, I’ll do you a favor."
"Rest assured, I will build a special prison to guard him alone and never let him out."
Though they met for the first time, Charles exuded an aura of trustworthiness.
His sincere tone and gaze made it easy to believe his words.
However, Thor and Sif still had doubts.
They turned to Aaron, silently hoping for his input.
They knew Aaron was the most flexible and perceptive among them.
Unlike Loki, who was crafty and always scheming, Aaron was a trustworthy companion.
Without saying a word, they looked to him for advice.
After thinking for a moment, Aaron said, "My magic tells me that he is half trustworthy in this matter."
"Huh? Any doubts?"
As soon as they heard "half trustworthy," Sif and the others immediately became alert.
If Aaron said something seemed off, they were prepared to act.
"He wants to imprison Magneto, but he lacks experience!"
"When I was fighting Magneto, I discovered that the helmet can shield mental power."
"Once Magneto recovers, he could break free, and then we won’t be able to keep him down."
"Just because his mental power is powerful doesn't mean his enemies are weak!"
The group remained silent.
Even if Charles had an answer, it wasn't enough to convince them.
They needed to think about it.
