American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 80 Ranking of Superhumans

"Stark, stop playing around and come in."

Agent Hill began to speak.

Her voice wasn't loud, but she knew Tony could hear her.

Tony hacked into the communications channel, and she was wearing a communications headset.

"Yes, beautiful lady."

Tony made a joke at Agent Hill's behest, as was his habit.

He then told Jarvis to stop playing the tune.

After doing all that, he flew toward another entrance to the bridge.

After Tony's brief appearance, Coulson told Banner about the current progress.

"We are scanning all wirelessly readable cameras around the world, including but not limited to mobile phones and laptops."

"Any camera connected to the internet or satellite is now our eyes and ears."

After Coulson finished speaking, Natasha added, "Even so, it's still too slow."

Banner looked at Agent Hill: "You need to narrow down the search area. How many spectrometers can you deploy right now?"

Although he didn't know what Banner was up to, Agent Hill didn't think much of it and immediately replied, "As many as you want."

Banner took off his coat and continued, "Contact every lab you can find and have them put the spectrometer on the roof and calibrate it to search for gamma rays."

"I will design a tracking algorithm based on clustering identification."

"While we can't pinpoint the exact location of the Rubik's Cube in a short time, we can at least eliminate most of the areas. Could you find me a place to work?"

What is professionalism?

That's it!

When it comes to understanding gamma rays, no one on Earth can compare to Banner.

This is also the main reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. insisted on having him join this operation.

Of course, considering the potential battle, Banner's fighting ability, or more precisely, Hulk's fighting ability, is equally indispensable.

Banner is ranked third on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current list of superhumans.

The first and second places on the list are Roy and Odin.

Let's not talk about Roy.

Although Roy's relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently relatively friendly, he remains the most threatening individual in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s threat assessment system.

As for Odin.

S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't really know Odin's true strength; they only know some of Odin's achievements from Thor's words and from Norse mythology.

However, considering that Odin is the Allfather of the Asgardians, easily sealed Thor's divine power, turning Thor from the God of Thunder of Asgard into a mortal, and that he has a record of defeating the Frost Giants and the Fire Giants, S.H.I.E.L.D. ranked him second only to Roy.

In addition, considering that Thor was Odin's chosen successor.

After Thor regained his divine powers and returned to being the God of Thunder, S.H.I.E.L.D. ranked him fourth on their list, second only to Roy, Odin, and Banner in terms of threat level.

"Agent Romanov, please take Dr. Banner to his laboratory."

Agent Hill turned to look at Natasha and said slowly.

Natasha nodded, walked up to Banner, and said, "We prepared your laboratory a long time ago. It's fully equipped and will satisfy you."

Just as Banner was about to answer Natasha, Roy's voice rang out.

"I don't know much about gamma rays."

"However, if you want to find Nick Fury and Agent Barton, I can tell you their location right now."

What?

Upon hearing his words, everyone from Natasha and Coulson, along with Rogers and Banner, looked at him with surprise.

"How do you know where they are?" Rogers asked first.

Roy replied casually, "Of course I have my own way."

Although neither Hawkeye nor Nick Fury possessed the strength to threaten him, he still left the Flying Thunder God Technique seal on them, so that he could go and take their lives whenever he needed to.

Rogers immediately frowned.

Clearly, he was not very satisfied with Roy's answer.

Unlike Rogers, Natasha didn't think much of it and asked Roy, "Where are they now?"

"Stuttgart, Germany," Roy replied.

After reading the intelligence sent by Agent Hill last night, he sensed the location of Hawkeye and the other two.

At that time, Hawkeye and Nick Fury were still in the United States.

Although only a dozen hours had passed, with their abilities, it would be no problem for them to take Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, and Dr. Selvig to Europe.

Or rather, if they can't even manage to smuggle people into Europe, then something is really wrong.

Not only that, he also knew exactly why they were going to Stuttgart, Germany.

There is a physics laboratory in Stuttgart called Safer.

The laboratory contains iridium.

Iridium can be used to prevent portals from collapsing on their own and to maintain a stable state.

Additionally, the diameter of the portal can be increased, allowing it to remain open for a longer period, instead of just a few seconds.

"Immediately launch a focused search of Stuttgart to confirm whether any unusual cases have occurred there," Agent Hill ordered immediately.

"Yes, sir!" one of the staff members replied quickly.

Soon, the staff member made a discovery and immediately reported to the leader: "A few hours ago, the police received a report of a kidnapping. Dr. Heinrich Seifer was kidnapped from his home."

"At the same time, the physics laboratory under Dr. Cypher's command was hacked."

"According to the police report, all the iridium stored in the laboratory was stolen."

"We found surveillance footage from Dr. Cypher's home and laboratory in the police database. Should we play it?"

Before Agent Hill could answer, Natasha quickly said, "Play."

Without any hesitation, the staff immediately transmitted the acquired surveillance footage to a screen near Agent Hill.

Whether it's the surveillance footage from Dr. Cypher's home or the laboratory, the images are very clear.

Hawkeye and Nick Fury soon came into Roy and his group's view.

The person who led the kidnapping of Dr. Cypher was Nick Fury.

The one who led the team that broke into the lab and stole the metal iridium was Hawkeye.

"Can you teleport us to them right now?" Natasha turned to Roy and asked quickly.

"Sure, but I can only bring two people at most," Roy said calmly.

Although he could teleport a group of people there, he didn't intend to do so.

Just bring Hawkeye and Nick Fury back, and take the two of them with you.

One way to deal with Hawkeye.

Another one to deal with Nick Fury.

As for him...

If Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight were also there, then take them down, retrieve the Tesseract, and incidentally turn the Mind Stone into your own trophy.

If they weren't there, he could simply stand aside and watch the show.

"Take me there, and you can choose the other one," Natasha said quickly without any hesitation.

Roy turned to Rogers and said, "You should come along too."
