"Fitz, has the position of the seven hammers been tracked?"
At the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson, asked the head of the Science Department, Leo Fitz.
After the events of the Insight Program, although S.H.I.E.L.D. obtained the final victory with George's help, it is no longer trusted by governments around the world and its strength has been significantly weakened.
But even a dead camel is bigger than a horse. After all, it was once the largest organization in the world. Even if the remaining agents and technology are consolidated, it is not comparable to an ordinary organization.
So the U.S. government stepped in, provided financial assistance, and completely transformed S.H.I.E.L.D. into a department that exclusively serves the United States, like the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
However, the distribution of responsibilities is different.
The main task of the CIA is to collect foreign government, companies, and individuals' political, cultural, scientific and technical information in both public and secret ways. It coordinates activities of other domestic intelligence agencies and shares these information and reports with various departments of the U.S. government.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) primarily focuses on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigations, having jurisdiction over more than 200 federal crimes.
Now, S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for handling all abnormal domestic events, as well as dealing with the Enhanced Academy, which could potentially become a time bomb in the eyes of the U.S. government and has not yet been discussed on how to handle it.
A week ago, the Asgardian agency responsible for monitoring space security detected seven hammers of varying designs appearing from outer space and descending to Earth.
This clearly is not something normal.
Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. took over and began tracking the location of the seven hammers, investigating whether they would pose a threat to the country.
"Based on the data collected by the Asgardian agency, I have created corresponding trackers for the seven hammers and connected them to the radar. I have successfully located the positions of the seven hammers."
And I've also discovered that, in addition to the seven hammers, there's an eighth hammer with similar readings, which may have been on Earth for a long time."
Fitz took out his own radar and continued:
"The eighth hammer is located in Sokovia, while the other seven hammers initially landed in a location that overlaps with the eighth hammer's position in Sokovia."
The remaining three hammers landed in different places: one in the African nation of Wakanda, one in the sea near Spain, and the last one in Miami, Florida.
However, all three of the hammers have now been gathered in Sokovia."
"Sokovia, won't it be related to Hydra?"
Coulson furrowed his brow at the remark.
Although Peeles was eliminated, it doesn't mean Hydra is completely defeated.
According to their intense interrogation of the captured Hydra agents, there are numerous Hydra bases scattered around the world, and Peeles was just one of them.
They have now confirmed that in Sokovia, there should be a relatively large Hydra base.
Now, there is one hammer in Sokovia at first, followed by eight hammers from outer space that have all gathered together. This looks like it has something to do with Hydra.
"Looks like we're going to Sokovia!"
Coulson immediately decided to lead the team personally to Sokovia to investigate what the eight hammers were all about.
"Notify the Strike Force Team to assemble and depart in half an hour."
"Director, emergency situation!"
At this moment, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent suddenly rushed in, reporting to Coulson in a panic:
"Sokovia's entire city is flying up in the air and heading towards Washington!"
"What? Fitz, link up with satellite surveillance."
Coulson's expression changed, and he quickly instructed Fitz to manipulate the satellite surveillance to view the flying Sokovia.
A projection appeared on the screen in front of Fitz's dizzying operation.
The content of the projection was the entire view of Sokovia flying at high speed in the air captured by the satellite. Zoomed in, it showed a large snake and eight Thor hammer bearers standing at the front of Sokovia, along with numerous Hydra soldiers.
"Oh, shit. Quick, notify the Minister of Defense to launch missile intercepts."
"Also, contact the head of the Enhanced Academy, George. We may need his help!"
On the other side, the Serpent felt a large number of missiles approaching from all directions. He looked unconcerned, not even bothering to personally attack. He simply nodded at the eight Thor hammer bearers behind him.
"This backward technological weapon of humans is not even as good as the dark elves who have been exterminated."
"Kirian, go take care of it."
"It's my honor to serve, Mighty God."
With a pompadour and wearing a suit, the middle-aged man suddenly erupted in flames. With a swing of his hand, the red hammer he held flew up, spiraling around in flames in the air, and somehow destroyed all the missiles instantly.
His name is Alderacchi Kirian, one of the creators of Extremis virus. A week ago, a fire-red hammer suddenly fell in front of him.
When he picked up the hammer, he discovered that his body, which had been enhanced by the Extremis virus, had undergone an even greater enhancement, transforming him from a mere mortal into a god.
At the same time, he understood his mission, which was to forever pursue and assist his master, the God of Fear, Kur.
The Mighty God, and the only truth!
"Looks like everyone is in a hurry, let's speed things up then."
After intercepting countless missiles, Kur felt that a portion of the fear energy had entered into his body again, restoring some of his power.
So the speed of Sokovia's flight increased by another level. Before the second wave of missiles arrived, Sokovia had already appeared directly above the White House in Washington D.C.
"Poor mortals, feel the fear!"
The staff lightly touched the ground, and the entire Sokovia city descended heavily towards the ground.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, the President, Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and other senior officials attending an emergency meeting at the White House were all flattened into meat pies.
At the same time, a large area around the White House in Washington D.C., including the entire region where the emergency meeting was being held, was also destroyed due to Sokovia's landing.
A large amount of fear gathered over the city and was absorbed by Kur, making him even more powerful.
"My children, spread fear, make all the mortals in the world tremble. This is just the beginning!"
Under Kur's command, the eight Thor hammer bearers led the Hydra soldiers in attacking and destroying the approaching armies in Washington D.C.
The terrifying scene was also broadcasted live by the relentless reporters from various television stations, all of whom were obsessed with getting the news headline and didn't care about death.
In fact, the TV journalists were quite safe today, because Kur, in order to show more humans the horror in Washington and absorb more fear, specifically instructed not to attack them.
