Ficool

Chapter 5 - 5

Harvey considered that in terms of his essence of power and lifespan, he was undoubtedly more inclined towards the Void Race than humans.

Perhaps because he was human in his previous life and at the beginning of this life, he felt a sense of belonging to humanity, and might favor humans at times.

However, this sense of belonging, while not disappearing with the passage of time, would undoubtedly fade with his long lifespan and the passing of time.

Thinking of this, Harvey already had a measure in his heart.

"I come from the Void."

Under the somewhat wary gazes of Natasha, Nick Fury, and Coulson, Harvey spoke.

Nick Fury, Natasha, and Coulson's eyes narrowed.

Natasha and Coulson's bodies instinctively wanted to make a move, but remembering the warning just now, their hands stopped reaching for their guns.

And it was at the same time Harvey spoke this sentence.

"Detected that the host has not deceived himself and escaped from himself, affirming his will and existence, the system officially recognizes its master and will open various functions."

Harvey's eyes flashed as he heard the cold voice in his mind.

He had awakened the system for more than two years and had always wondered how other hero templates would be unlocked, so he had been patiently waiting.

Now he knew, the problem was with him.

Although he hadn't rejected the Void in the past, he hadn't fully accepted it either.

At least before Nick Fury asked him what race he belonged to and he formally considered it, he had never considered himself a member of the Void Race, which led to the system not officially recognizing its master.

"..."

Nick Fury had initially confirmed that this God of Death was a super-powered individual, thinking he had caught a big fish and wanted to recruit this God of Death to join the Avengers.

Being human, if he could just make the other party realize that Blue Planet was currently like a lone boat in the Universe, always at risk of being overturned by a giant wave.

Then the other party might agree to his invitation and join the Avengers to contribute to humanity, but he never expected the other party not to be human, but an alien.

This made it difficult for Nick Fury to utter the many persuasive words he had prepared.

Blue Planet is humanity's only home at present; if it's destroyed, it's truly gone.

But for an alien, Blue Planet is merely a temporary stopping point; even if it's destroyed, they might at most just return to their own homeland.

However, given that this God of Death has been on Blue Planet for over two years, and has only been working as a mercenary.

And has not caused too much devastating disaster to Blue Planet, it proves that the other party probably has not thought of destroying Blue Planet.

"Then, my friend from the Void, what is your purpose for coming to Blue Planet?"

However, Nick Fury still asked in order to know how to communicate with this God of Death.

At the same time, Nick Fury also warned Natasha and Coulson with his eyes, telling them to suppress their thoughts.

Although humans possess mushroom bombs, even if there are aliens, it should still be possible to kill them.

However, the cost would be too high, so the priority is to determine whether they are friend or foe.

"Seeing this beautiful Planet, I came here to travel and experience life."

Facing this question, Harvey lied as naturally as breathing.

Nick Fury, Natasha, and Coulson all felt this reason was ridiculous, but if the other party was unwilling to state their true intentions, they couldn't force them to speak.

Because with the strength this God of Death had just displayed, if they were to fight, their chances of winning were not high, perhaps even Zero.

So they absolutely could not fight the other party, at least with their current capabilities, they were not enough to compel this God of Death to say what they wanted to hear.

"My friend, since you have no intention of hiding your identity, does that mean we should have a possibility of communication?"

Nick Fury's face showed a forced smile that anyone could see.

"Aren't we communicating now?"

Harvey saw Nick Fury's probing and wariness in his eyes and words, but he didn't care, casually replying.

"You see, my mind is getting muddled."

Nick Fury heard this sentence, knowing it was a relatively friendly signal, and rubbed his smooth, bald head, speaking in a feigned silly manner.

"I've taken your deposit, so tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Harvey didn't deliberately dwell on the matter, instead adopting a business-like demeanor.

Although Nick Fury did have things for this God of Death to do, intelligence was more important than tasks that Agents could also handle.

So Nick Fury spoke: "Originally, I had something to ask of you, but now that I know you are an alien from the Void, can I buy some intelligence from you?"

"Although I work for money, it depends on what intelligence you want to know."

Harvey knew Nick Fury's old fox thoughts, but he didn't refuse.

"The intelligence I ask for will certainly not be a test of you."

"I just want to ask, how many aliens in the Universe are relatively close to Blue Planet, and what is their technological level?"

"Or do they have some special abilities?"

"And is Blue Planet currently exposed to the eyes of other aliens?"

Nick Fury then stated his questions.

"There are many intelligent life forms in the Universe, and their technological level far exceeds Blue Planet's."

"Space jumps, Cosmic Warships, interstellar energy cannons, and so on, are all readily available."

"However, those are too far from Blue Planet; knowing too much now would only add to your troubles."

"As for abilities, it's hard to say; there are too many races, and the abilities they possess are all different."

"Even setting aside their innate abilities, the average physical quality of aliens is undoubtedly far superior to humans."

"As for proximity, including Blue Planet, the other several Worlds around it are collectively called the Nine Realms."

"Among the Nine Realms is Asgard, the Heavenly Palace, the place where the Asgard live, which is what you humans call gods, God King Odin."

"Blue Planet has always been exposed to the eyes of aliens, and many aliens have visited Blue Planet in the past."

"For example, the Kree and the Skrulls."

"It's just that Odin is still alive, so other races don't dare to cause too much trouble openly."

Harvey naturally would not intentionally reveal the future, to avoid too much change in the Marvel Universe's trajectory, which would make the various pieces of information he already knew difficult to grasp.

However, Harvey could still explain some answers that would not affect the general trend.

As long as there isn't too much deviation, Thor will inevitably be banished to Blue Planet in a few years, and at that time, the existence of the Asgard will also appear in the eyes of many people on Blue Planet.

Nick Fury, hearing Harvey mention the Kree and Skrulls, knew that this God of Death understood far more than he had anticipated, and it also gave more credibility to the God of Death's words.

"You mean, our human myths and legends are true?"

"We humans have always been protected by that Asgard?"

But at the same time, this also raised some questions in Nick Fury's mind.

"Although the legends vary, many are undoubtedly true."

"If you have the chance in the future, you might be able to see the Asgard."

Harvey nodded slightly upon hearing this, confirming his words.

"I have a question, Mr. God of Death, you said Odin is still alive now, so aliens don't dare to cause trouble."

"So that means in the future, Odin, from our human mythology, might die, right?"

Natasha couldn't help but speak after hearing all this.

Harvey glanced at Natasha upon hearing this, but did not answer.

However, Harvey's silence at this time was like an affirmative signal, making Coulson, Natasha, and Nick Fury's hearts tighten.

This God of Death specifically mentioned that God King Odin is currently not dead, so aliens do not dare to cause trouble, which implies that once God King Odin dies.

Humanity will also face the arrival of other aliens in the Universe.

And the God of Death not answering the question of whether Odin would die also indicated that even God King Odin has a lifespan.

Nick Fury did not blame Natasha for asking questions without permission; he had already obtained the information he wanted and was even more determined to form the Avengers.

It's just that Nick Fury knew it would be impossible to directly recruit this God of Death.

"Thank you for the intelligence, Mr. God of Death."

"I wonder if we will have another opportunity to cooperate in the future?"

So Nick Fury's face showed a kind smile, and he asked friendly.

"It depends on the mission; as long as you can afford the reward, I am not unwilling to agree to your cooperation."

Harvey didn't completely refuse, but gave an ambiguous answer.

Although it's foolish not to make money, there are some kinds of money Harvey still wouldn't earn.

Nick Fury knew from this sentence that it wasn't just about being able to afford the price to hire this God of Death; whether the other party was willing to act depended entirely on their will.

It could be said that humanity was completely in a passive position, and Nick Fury disliked this feeling very much.

"Thank you very much; although it's our first meeting, we had a very pleasant conversation."

"I hope we can have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

However, they currently had no ability to turn the tide, so Nick Fury also said with a smile.

"I hope so."

Harvey knew from this that Nick Fury was quitting while he was ahead, hoping to leave a good impression, so he also replied kindly.

Subsequently, Harvey's figure disappeared, and along with him, the several boxes of U.S. dollars also vanished.

Natasha and Coulson watched as the God of Death disappeared as if teleporting, their eyes filled with apprehension.

"Officer, he is too mysterious; we cannot be sure that everything he said is true."

"Perhaps he might even be a human, after all, we cannot discern his true identity."

Then, Coulson looked at Nick Fury, asking for his opinion.

Nick Fury's thoughts were constantly swirling in his mind, and upon hearing this, he let out a long breath, his smile disappearing and replaced by a serious expression, and he slowly said.

"Coulson, what you said makes a lot of sense; it's very difficult for us to confirm his identity."

"But the other party knows about the Kree and Skrulls; you have to know, those are aliens I encountered decades ago when I was young."

"Aside from within our bureau, the news has never spread, yet the other party mentioned it."

"Moreover, given the God of Death's elusive methods, acquiring large sums of money would be incredibly easy."

"Yet, the other party chose to be a mercenary, thus obtaining money."

"This precisely proves that the legendary Odin might be real."

"Because of Odin's existence, this God of Death still doesn't dare to cause too much trouble on Blue Planet."

They couldn't know the true face of the God of Death, so even if this God of Death killed them, the higher-ups would have no way to investigate.

The state and law can restrict human super-powered individuals or heroes, because as long as super-powered individuals and heroes are human, there are things they care about on Blue Planet.

But for these aliens, their human laws have no effect.

And the root cause of this problem is that their human weapons are still too weak, lacking the capital to negotiate with aliens.

Therefore, the formation of the Avengers is imperative, even somewhat urgent, because when Odin will die is an unknown.

"Natasha, I don't care what methods you use, quickly go and contact Harvey Anberaka, and try to find out if he is a super-powered individual."

Nick Fury directly issued the order.

Natasha also knew the importance of the matter, nodded, and left.

"Coulson, go collect more information on people with somewhat strange deeds."

"I have some troubles to deal with."

Nick Fury looked at his confidant, issued instructions, and then left.

The intelligence gleaned from the God of Death was, for Nick Fury, priceless.

However, these matters clearly could not be fully disclosed to the higher-ups, so the work of obfuscation had to be done well.

The second update is here, please give some votes, thank you.
