Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1490: Frost Giant Attacks
Inside the meeting room, other directors had different expressions, some frowned in thought, while others exchanged subtle glances.

America, a superpower with a long history and strong strength, has an influence like an invisible net that tightly binds the lifeline of global politics and economy.

Every decision and every action it takes is enough to create huge waves and trigger a chain reaction around the world.

However, it is precisely this powerful influence that makes every move of America attract much attention, and every secret operation may become the focus of international public opinion.

However, the "lessons from the past" mentioned by Nick Fury do make people have to be vigilant.

In the past years, America has taken many secret actions to safeguard its own interests, even at the expense of international rules and morality. These actions have long left a deep mark in the dark.

"We are not asking America to admit fault, which would be a complex and sensitive issue."

Nick Fury continued, "What we really care about is how to prevent such incidents from happening again and how to ensure the healthy operation of the global security system. Therefore, we hope that America can take practical actions to strengthen supervision to ensure that similar incidents will not happen again in the future."

The American representative's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and responded in a more determined tone: "Nick Fury, you and I are both aware of the complexity and uncertainty in international politics. We in America have always been committed to maintaining global peace and security, and we will resolutely crack down on any behavior that may threaten this goal. As for your accusation, we are willing to cooperate with any form of investigation to prove our innocence."

In this world where strength speaks, the weak often have no say, while the strong are accustomed to proving their innocence with actions - or, more accurately, exchanging interests for trust.

However, he understood better that a truly wise person would not limit himself to superficial disputes and accusations, but would seek deeper solutions.

Of course, behind this underlying established rule lies a complex and subtle international political game, which is like an invisible shackle that restrains the revelation of the truth.

In such a system, asking America to publicly acknowledge its actions would undoubtedly challenge the most entrenched power structures in the international order.

If this is true, subsequent actions - such as the trial of the relevant responsible persons - will undoubtedly fall into chaos.

This is not a deep water area that SHIELD or the Security Council can easily venture into.

Just imagine, letting one of the most powerful countries in the world, the best among the top three permanent members of the UN Security Council, be tried in public. This is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Even S.H.I.E.L.D., a secret action organization affiliated with the United Nations, and the Security Council find it difficult to shake this situation.

America sits firmly at the top of the five world powers, and its influence and strength make any form of judicial decision pale and powerless.

Nick Fury stared at the representative of America with a deep gaze. The sneer that flashed in his eyes was subtle and complex.

He was not so naive as to think he could get a frank answer from America; that would be courting disaster.

His strategy is more far-reaching, aiming to use this incident as leverage to force America to make concessions in certain key areas, such as intelligence sharing, military and technological cooperation, or resource allocation.

For SHIELD, such an exchange is the key to enhancing its own strength and consolidating its position.

In this turbulent era, the international situation is changing rapidly. Only by having sufficient strength in hand can we keep the rudder steady in the rough sea and ensure that we are invincible.

America took quick action to maintain its international image and to show the outside world its determination to deal with the crisis.

Near New Mexico, the US military has strengthened its deployment to assist the local SHIELD base, further improving the base's defense level. However, this also indirectly provides more opportunities for the infiltration of the Hydra organization.

Those cunning human traffickers took advantage of the chaos and unrest to sneak into the base. Their numbers were staggering.

But even so, the forces of Hydra did not dare to act rashly.

Chang Wei, Tony and Banner, with their powerful fighting power and unparalleled science and technology, have built an indestructible line of defense.

Their existence is like an invisible wall that keeps the Hydra members away. Any attempt to challenge this line of defense is tantamount to walking into a trap with no way back.

At the same time, on the other side of the universe, Loki was plotting a bigger conspiracy.

He used the ancient knowledge he possessed to find the secret passage connecting Jotunheim and Midgard (Earth).

It was a tiny branch hidden in the huge body of the World Tree, inconspicuous but crucial.

This passage seems to be the most ingenious masterpiece of nature. It is hidden among thousands of branches and leaves, and safely avoids all known monitoring methods. It is enough for Loki and his army of frost giants to pass through to Midgard quietly without being noticed by Heimdall.

"It's in the human base ahead. Go there by yourselves."

There was a hint of indifference and disdain in Loki's voice. He obviously had no interest in personally participating in the upcoming battle.

To him, it was just a game, a game to prove his strength and wisdom.

The leader of the Frost Giants, a warrior with endless coldness in his eyes, sneered when he heard this, and it was obvious that he did not take Loki's staying out of the matter to heart.

He raised the giant hammer in his hand and roared: "For the Frost Giants!"

The sound was like a storm in the cold winter, bringing with it a biting chill and unstoppable power. It instantly swept across the entire battlefield and caused the surrounding air to freeze.

The rest of the Frost Giant warriors also responded. Their roars gathered into a powerful sound wave, shaking every inch of the air and alarming the soldiers and SHIELD agents in the base.

"idiot."

Loki cursed under his breath, then turned invisible, disappearing into thin air in an instant.

For him, this battle was just part of the plan and he didn't need to take any risks himself.

His goal is a more far-reaching and grander layout.

Inside the base, alarms sounded and the soldiers quickly entered combat status.

They captured the figures of the frost giants through surveillance cameras, and those huge figures were particularly eye-catching in the night.
