"One and a half minutes! You don't have much time left, take cover immediately! I remember Stark Tower has a nuclear-proof basement."
Among the crowd, only Black Widow and Iron Man's expressions changed.
Black Widow is a top spy carefully cultivated by another superpower.
Tony Stark, on the other hand, is one of the world's top billionaires and America's most powerful and influential family.
They immediately understood why the Security Council would launch a nuclear missile at them even though the matter was over.
They even...they even seem a little impatient.
The answer is simple: they were scared.
The fear wasn't directed at himself. The entire Avengers team was very strong, but their strength was controllable and within acceptable limits.
Captain America is a super soldier, but he's just a super soldier; he's only human, and firearms can take care of him.
Stark possesses a revolutionary suit of armor, but there is only one Stark Armor, and as the pinnacle of this nation, he would not seek to destroy it.
Hawkeye and Black Widow are super agents; such agents can always be trained if you're willing to put in the effort.
Hulk is indeed uncontrollable and unstoppable, but Dr. Banner has a weakness: as long as he still cares about his lover and many other things, Hulk will always be leashed.
Thor is also very strong, but he is not from Earth, and he will return to Asgard after everything is over.
Li Xia is different; the strength he has demonstrated is enough to change the balance between nations.
He could easily destroy tens of thousands of soldiers. He was an Earthling, an Easterner, and the deputy director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau.
Therefore, in the Security Council's view, the best option is to eliminate such a person under the guise of an alien invasion.
"Oh--"
Li Xia understood what the other party was doing. His smile contained no sarcasm, nor even any other meaning; it was simply a genuine laugh.
Just like how humans might watch an ant waving its antennae and claws in front of them and think it's trying to make them laugh.
That's it.

Chapter 8 I'm going to exploit a bug.
"Awoo, Black Charcoal."
"Alright, easy peasy!"
The kitten's paws grabbed its older brother, and with a crackling sound of lightning, the dragon and the cat instantly transformed into bolts of lightning and flew away into the distance.
In a straight line, the kitten is extremely fast, although it is still far from the speed of light, it is still far faster than the speed of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Within seconds, excited shouts echoed through the team chat:
"Let Grandpa Dragon go to heaven!"
Under the influence of gravity, the launched nuclear missile suddenly turned around in an unbelievable way and shot straight into the sky.
The nuclear bomb, already capable of supersonic speeds, was propelled to an even more terrifying speed limit by the full force of the roar.
The monitoring personnel at the other end of the missile watched as the missile's trajectory suddenly changed to a straight upward trajectory on the screen, along with the Mach 30 speed displayed on the screen.
And this speed is still increasing.
30....31.....32.....34......
By the time they came to their senses, they were scrambling to ask for instructions; the missile's speed had already reached nearly Mach 40.
"Shh~~~~"
"Awoo!" he blew a loud slogan, put on his sunglasses, and said cheerfully:
"Let's watch the fireworks!"
High in the sky, a sharp glint suddenly erupted, and blinding white light instantly filled half of the sky.
A massive fireball stretched out in the air, with layers of golden and red smoke billowing and slowly spreading tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
The people in Stark Tower felt the sky suddenly brighten, and they subconsciously squinted. The dazzling ball of light hanging in the distance looked like a giant firework that bloomed out of nowhere. After its brilliance, the smoke and clouds slowly faded and eventually merged into the sky.
"Wow--"
Stark put his hands on his hips and twirled his arms in front of him:
"This is my first time seeing nuclear bomb fireworks. I'm wondering if I should send Pepper one too. Do you think she would like it?"
Having escaped danger once again, the Avengers finally relaxed completely, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents rushed upstairs after learning that the crisis was over.
Amidst the chaos, Li Xia stepped forward, picked up the Rubik's Cube, and, under the watchful eyes of many, threw it directly into the roaring dragon egg.
“Sir, this is S.H.I.E.L.D. property.”
A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent walked up somewhat awkwardly, pointed at the roaring dragon egg, and stammered.
"That's not the case now."
Li Xia said calmly:
"The Cosmic Cube is of no use to you other than being used for dangerous experiments. I'm taking it away."
To prevent you from conducting reckless experiments again and causing trouble, look at the ruins around us, what have you been doing?
The Avengers, who were about to step forward to stop him, looked at each other and surprisingly found the words to be very reasonable.
Even Captain America and Black Widow's eyes flickered, suppressing their thoughts of stopping them.
Fundamentally, Captain America, Steve Rogers, believed that the Tesseract should be sunk to the bottom of the ocean and never be brought out again.
"I originally planned to take it back to Asgard with Loki..."
Thor pointed to Loki, whose mouth was gagged and hands were cuffed, and frowned as he thought for a moment:
"If you are willing to keep it safe and promise not to hand it over to anyone with ill intentions, I think that's fine too."
Thor's thinking was too simplistic; his way of judging a person was based on whether they could fight and whether they had the guts.
Li Xia and his cat are just so compatible with him. As long as you're compatible, you're buddies. What rules? I'm the son of Odin!
"No, you can keep this safe. This thing is just a menace on Earth."
Li Xia tossed the Mind Scepter to Thor, intending to cut off the Avengers: Age of Ultron storyline altogether—a conclusion reached after detailed discussions with the Ancient One.
From the moment I intervened, the entire Avengers will take a completely different turn. Thanos will inevitably descend, without a doubt, but whether Thanos can still act as before remains to be seen.
“I don’t think you have the right to take them away.”
The elevator doors opened to both sides, and Nick Fury walked in with his hands behind his back and a gloomy expression.
"As my agent said, this is S.H.I.E.L.D. property, and we have a responsibility to safeguard it."
And...how can you guarantee you won't use it to manufacture weapons or do other things?
The once bustling Stark Tower was now unusually quiet. Everyone put down what they were doing and looked at Li Xia and Nick Fury, who stood facing each other.
"Because it's not necessary."
Li Xia suddenly laughed, but his eyes remained calm without a trace of amusement.
Have you ever seen me go all out, Nick Fury?
"If I wanted to wipe out the world, I wouldn't need a Rubik's Cube; it would be very simple."
He ignored Nick Fury's suddenly pale face:
"We are simply maintaining restraint; why do we need to rely on external means?"
The Divine Spear Bureau is just keeping a low profile, not showing weakness. If you want to start a war, you are welcome to come to me anytime.
Nick, tell those idiots on the Security Council, have they forgotten what power is after playing power games so much?
There are also people from the East in the Security Council, but similar to the S.H.I.E.L.D., the East has no interest in such institutions and only joins out of a sense of responsibility as a major power.
Moreover, this council is completely different from the Security Council in name only, as it does not have veto power.
Because this thing is not conducive to those shady politicians causing trouble.
After saying that, he ignored Nick's ugly expression:
"Shall we go eat barbecue?"
................
The meat was a bit dry, the seasoning wasn't flavorful enough, the fries were overcooked, not to mention the terrible environment.
The light bulb dangled precariously, the floor was littered with pebbles and glass, and there were several alarming cracks in the wall. The shop assistants and the owner were sweeping frantically.
The entire store looked like it had been bombed, and in fact, it did.
But even though this barbecue wasn't particularly delicious, it gave me a strange feeling.
The Avengers sat in their chairs, eating their food absentmindedly, their faces etched with exhaustion.
I love this cat!
Thor suddenly pointed at the charcoal, his eyes filled with affection, and turned to ask:
"Is it a special race in the universe? I think Thor and this cool lightning cat are a perfect match."
Thor's words successfully drew the attention of the others, except for the strange 'egg snake'.
The other cats and dogs look much like cats and dogs on Earth.
"Could it be a cosmic alien species similar to the Flerken?"
Black Widow recalled a type of alien creature called the Flerken, which was described in S.H.I.E.L.D. records and was extremely dangerous and terrifying.
Li Xia raised his beer glass: "No, Black Charcoal is Black Charcoal. It's unique, it's my partner, not a pet."
"Meow!"
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Blackie raised his enormous beer mug and clinked it against Thor's. Thor laughed heartily, and the two of them chug down their beer.
Li Xia then looked at Stark and asked, "Should we remove the shrapnel from your chest?"
"You have the technology for this?" Stark, who had been dozing off, perked up at the question.
"I've researched this area. Removing tiny metal fragments from the body requires a very precise surgery..."
Stark went on and on about his ideas, from developing specialized equipment to hiring the world's best surgeons to perform the operations.
He only remembered to ask at the very end:
"What kind of surgery do you plan to use to remove it?"
"Black charcoal!"
The black-eared man, who was drinking with Thor, twitched his ears, jumped off his chair, and ran to Stark's side.
Stark looked down at the cat in front of him:
"Are you kidding me? I admit this cat might be a bit magical, but—"
Black Charcoal suddenly nodded, then suddenly extended its claws. With a flash of electricity, Stark felt a sudden numbness in his body.
Before he could react, a stream of blood suddenly spurted from under his armpit. Black Widow and Steve, who were standing nearby, were so shocked that they almost jumped up and rushed forward to support Stark.
Black Charcoal placed the sand-like condensate floating in his palm on the table, then jumped back and started drinking with Thor.
"Alright, the item has been retrieved."
Li Xia took a swig of beer and looked at Stark, who was wrapped in first-aid bandages:
"You're safe now. Just go back and wait for your wounds to heal."
Stark stretched, staring wide-eyed at the blood-stained, solidified fragments on the table. Even with his mental prowess at its peak, his eyes widened.
"How did you do that? I've done the calculations—"
"It's very simple. Use electromagnetism to attract these fragments, set up magnetic walls along your blood vessels, let these fragments travel backwards along the blood vessels, and finally come out from the axillary vein. It's that simple."
Stark paused for a moment, then his brilliant mind immediately grasped the meaning of the passage:
"You mean...this cat has electromagnetic control with micron-level precision?"
"And eyes that can see your body's structure."
