Chapter 175

The Cosmic Cube was salvaged by Howard not long after Steve Rogers fell into the sea in 1945.

Since then, the Cosmic Cube has been collected by SHIELD.

Except for Howard who occasionally studies it, no one else can touch it - and the Ark Reactor and the discovery of new elements are based on the research of the Cosmic Cube.

This is why Levi has always believed that the Ark Reactor is more likely to be the result of Howard's research.

After all, with Anton Vanko's identity, it is basically impossible to get in touch with the Cosmic Cube.

It was not until 1973 that the Pegasus Project officially began with the arrival of the Kree man Marvell, who was aliased as Wendy Lawson, and Howard began to study the Cosmic Cube with Marvell in order to develop a light speed engine.

But in 1989, because Marvell's betrayal of the Kree Empire was discovered, he was assassinated by the special forces led by the Kree Empire's Yong Roger.

Carol Danvers, who destroyed the engine prototype and absorbed a large amount of space energy, was taken away by Yon Logue.

The Cosmic Cube was listed as "missing" by SHIELD.

Until 1995, Carol Danvers returned to Earth by accident and met Nick Fury.

The two unraveled the mystery and helped Carol Danvers regain her memory. At the same time, they also found Marvel's invisible scientific research spacecraft staying near the space orbit, as well as the Skrull women and children hidden in the spacecraft, and the Cosmic Cube.

After the incident, Carol Danvers handed the Cosmic Cube to Nick Fury for safekeeping.

But Nick Fury, who was not the director of SHIELD at the time, did not hand in the Cosmic Cube.

Instead, he hid it.

So in the records of SHIELD, the Cosmic Cube has always been in a "missing" state.

Even after Nick Fury became the director, it has not changed.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was not until after the Thor incident, when Thor and the Destroyer fought, that Nick Fury really felt uneasy.

In addition, after discovering the talent of Dr. Selvig, he officially started the dark energy plan and prepared to restart the research on the Cosmic Cube to create more advanced weapons to deal with the crisis that may come from the universe.

That is the plot of the end-credits easter egg in Thor 1.

But no one knew that Selvig at that time had been secretly targeted by Loki.

So from this aspect, Nick Fury actually contributed to the invasion of the Chitauri.

If he hadn't restarted the research on the Cosmic Cube and leaked the whereabouts of the Space Stone, Thanos would not be able to find the location of the Space Stone.

This box containing the Cosmic Cube is also Howard's legacy. In this box, the energy of the Cosmic Cube will not leak out at all.

Just like Levi now, if he hadn't used the Time Stone to spy on the past and the future, he couldn't be sure that the Cosmic Cube was inside, and he might not even know the secret room of this hidden box.

Looking at the cosmic cube in front of him, Levi also sighed slightly.

It is a good thing that the space gem fell into his hands early.

As long as this thing is not discovered by Loki or other people who know about it, it can basically save a lot of trouble.

For example, it is estimated that it is impossible to avoid the invasion of the Chitauri, but it is likely to be delayed for several years.

After all, without the space wormhole of the space gem, the Chitauri fleet can only fly to the earth.

And not to mention the possible accidents and the required supplies on the way, other civilizations along the way, etc. will bring a lot of trouble to the expedition.

The preparation time left for the earth alone will be much more sufficient.

It will not be like the Avengers, who can only fight hastily.

And it is still in a place like New York where they can't play at all.

Levi closed the box neatly and put it into the space backpack decisively.

In this way, as long as he doesn't say it, no one in the world can find the space gem unless he is killed.

But Levi now doesn't think he will die so easily.

I just don't know what Nick Fury's expression will be when he comes here after fully recovering and finds that the Cosmic Cube is gone.

After all, this room has no surveillance at all for confidentiality.

There is surveillance outside the room, and it is even independent.

But it's useless.

Before entering the room, Levi had been invisible, and he opened the portal to avoid surveillance.

There was no sign that the door of the secret room was opened.

Of course, based on the ability shown by Levi in ​​this incident, he will definitely be suspected.

But as long as there is no evidence, who can do anything to him?

Tony, the only one who knows the inside story, has no possibility of betraying him.

So there is nothing to worry about.

After getting the Cosmic Cube, Levi didn't rush to leave.

Instead, he opened the portal again and came to a secret room that had been sealed for many years.

A secret room that has been almost completely forgotten since Howard Stark died in 1991.

Repeated similar operations to get the Cosmic Cube before.

In this secret room, Levi found a whole box of test tubes filled with red liquid.

Seeing these test tubes, Levi smiled.

He knew that since Howard had reproduced them, how could there really be no remains?

The red liquid in these test tubes is nothing but the reason why Hank Pym quit SHIELD that year - Pym particles.

After getting the Pym particles, Levi's trip was considered complete.

He took back the space backpack and opened the portal again.

This time, he did not go anywhere else.

Instead, he returned to Phil Coulson and Tony's team.

Although SHIELD still has many things worth coveting, such as obelisks.

But those things are not stored in the Triskelion Headquarters, but in other bases, so they can only be postponed.

At this time, Phil Coulson's team has arrived at the exit of one of the three main emergency passages, but did not wait for Alexander Pierce to appear.

Seeing Levi's appearance, Tony immediately cast an inquiring look.

Did you get the things?

Levi nodded slightly.

Indicated that he got them.

Phil Coulson, who noticed the two people on the side, frowned when he saw this.

Looking at the performance of these two people, he could guess that Levi must have gone to do something.

But he couldn't guess it at all, and even if he guessed it, he couldn't stop it.

He could only keep this matter in his heart and report it to Nick Fury after he returned.

"No need to wait here, Alexander Pierce is going the same way as Melinda, let's go over there!" After waiting for another minute, Levi suddenly spoke.
