But it was obvious that Hawkeye Barton didn't know what had happened either. Surrounded by agents with guns drawn, he could only stammer in confusion, "I didn't do it! I didn't fire it! I swear, I didn't fire it!"
Nick Fury arrived on the scene, looked at Hawkeye Barton, and then at Thor lying on the ground, saying, "But your arrow indicates otherwise!"
Off-screen, Hawkeye Barton was clearly shocked. He had actually missed, which clearly didn't align with his understanding of himself.
"How is that possible? I absolutely cannot miss!" Hawkeye Barton immediately said, disbelieving. "Even on a battlefield with a storm of bullets, I wouldn't miss! Not to mention just a clap of thunder!"
"But the reality is right in front of us, Barton, you missed!" Nick Fury said. "Whatever the reason, it ultimately led to this happening!"
Nick Fury stared intently at the screen, but he was relieved. Fortunately, they knew this future. If they encountered such a situation again, they would know to be extremely careful.
But he was also shocked. A god, just like that, shot to death? What difference was there between them and humans?
Soon, the detection report appeared on the screen, telling him exactly what distinguished a god from a human.
In the scene, Hawkeye Barton, now locked up, sat helplessly, unable to believe his mistake. He muttered to himself, "This can't be. I don't miss. I can't miss!"
"What about the intruder?" Coulson asked from outside the cell.
"Dead!" Nick Fury replied. "If the blood sample results are accurate, he's almost a thousand years old. Definitely not human!"
Before anyone could dwell on it, the scene shifted to daytime. In the base in New Mexico, Coulson had just bought coffee and entered the base when suddenly, the ground began to shake.
Everything in the car began to float, including the freshly bought coffee and his sunglasses.
Further away, a massive Bifrost crashed into the ground, creating a terrifying shockwave.
Coulson quickly got out of the car to investigate, and as the Bifrost's light dissipated, a vast army marched forward, resembling a medieval army.
Nick Fury's biggest concern, a diplomatic incident with an alien race, had finally arrived.
"My God, there are monsters with him!" Coulson said, shocking everyone.
"Do they look like anything from Earth?" Nick Fury asked from the command center.
"Maybe, but they look more like something from Middle-earth!" Coulson replied.
At that moment, with a surge of dramatic music, Loki made his entrance.
Soon after, Nick Fury arrived with a S.H.I.E.L.D. special agent team, and the two sides faced off.
Facing this tense situation, Nick Fury asked, "Lost, gentlemen? Looks like you've taken a wrong turn!"
The atmosphere between them became extremely tense, ready to explode.
Hearing this, Loki just sneered and said, "Ha, you'd best kneel before a god!"
"We don't have such rules here, no matter what kind of god you are!" Nick Fury retorted.
"I am Loki, Prince of Asgard, the rightful…" Loki began to list his extensive titles, when Nick Fury's phone started ringing incessantly. "Ahem, rightful king, God of Mischief… Are you going to answer it, or am I going to finish my sentence?!"
The atmosphere became awkward.
In the next second, the battle erupted. Loki used the Casket of Ancient Winters, freezing everything, and the footage cut off.
[Loki is Loki, always putting on the biggest act, and always getting the worst beatdown, hahaha!]
After the video ended, the words that appeared in Lin Feng's diary also revealed the identity of the person leading the Asgardian forces: Loki, another powerful god from Norse mythology.
Unlike Lin Feng's somewhat playful teasing, the expressions of both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Tony Stark were incredibly grim.
Especially since they had just been doubting whether these so-called gods of the Northern Sky were anything special, given that one of them could be killed with an arrow. But now, with Loki's display of the Casket of Ancient Winters' power, instantly freezing everything, everyone realized that these legendary gods were not as fragile as Thor had seemed previously.
So, where was the problem?
"Barton, you really did what Fury said you would, you've caused a diplomatic crisis!" Black Widow Natasha said teasingly.
Hawkeye scratched his head, a little troubled. This wasn't what he wanted.
The rest of the video wasn't available, but it looked like they were about to cause a direct conflict between Earth and the celestial realm of the Norse gods.
With humanity's current technological level, which couldn't even leave their home planet, the appearance of any alien race would be a devastating blow.
"I don't believe Barton would make such a mistake. There must be another reason!" Nick Fury thought for a moment and said.
He believed the elite agent he had trained was not just anyone. It was impossible that he would loosen his bowstring from being frightened by a thunderclap. That would be underestimating Hawkeye Barton, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top agents.
"But the video is too short; we don't see what happens next, and we don't even know why Barton made this mistake!" Black Widow Natasha said. "If we knew the reason, it would at least help us avoid casualties!"
"In any case, if we meet this Thor again, it's best not to fight him. This is just one possibility in the future. If it develops this way, a war with Asgard is unavoidable!" Nick Fury said.
Regardless of why Hawkeye Barton missed, as long as he didn't take another shot, the possibility of accidental killing would be greatly reduced.
"The key is, Lin Feng said this is an incorrect timeline. In other words, if we assume there's someone, or an organization, or a group, whatever, whether it's God, or the so-called Eastern Heavenly Emperor, managing this world, if the future develops in this direction, I feel that Lin Feng's words imply that we're in big trouble!" Black Widow Natasha said with a serious expression.
The others felt uneasy just thinking about a possibly unknown and terrifying entity, one that could even decide the future's direction.
It felt as if they were just puppets on a stage, at the mercy of others.
