Chapter 68 S.H.I.E.L.D. warmly welcomes Sorcerer Russell.
Nepal, Kamar-Taj.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly.
Most of the monks had already finished their morning practice.
At this moment, they are gathered in twos and threes, chatting idly.
Just as authors in an author group never talk about writing, readers in a reader group never talk about novels.
The monks gathered together, not to talk about magic, but to gossip about the events of the past few days.
Coulson mingled among them and was quite popular.
Thanks to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence network, Coulson can easily learn the truth and inside story of all sorts of gossip.
Eileen sat in Russell's personal wooden rocking chair, her brow furrowed in worry.
A few days ago, Russell promised her that he would bring Matt back.
Unexpectedly, Russell was gone for several days without a trace.
"Ring ring~"
Suddenly, Coulson's phone rang.
After giving an apologetic gesture to the few mages who were chatting, Coulson walked aside and answered the phone.
"No, Chief Fury."
"Yes, Chief Fury."
"Yes, Chief Fury."
...
After the call ended, Coulson walked to Eileen's side and said:
"Eileen, don't worry. Russell has already appeared and will probably be back here soon."
No sooner had Coulson finished speaking than Russell appeared out of thin air.
"Russell!"
Upon seeing Russell, Eileen exclaimed in surprise and then asked.
Where's Matt?
Russell gave an awkward smile.
Bringing back Matt's soul should count as bringing Matt back, right?
Russell waved his hand across Eileen's eyes, granting her the ability to sense souls.
Then, Matt's soul was released.
After being nourished by Russell's attribute point energy for more than ten minutes, Matt's soul had recovered from its daze.
"Matt is here."
After speaking, Russell stepped aside, leaving the space to Matt and his apprentice Erin.
Coulson followed and extended an invitation to Russell:
"Russell, could you please come to the A.H.I.E.L.D. space carrier? Everyone has a lot of questions for you about the Hand."
"How long has it been since I last left?" Russell did not answer, but asked another question instead.
When he returned to Earth-404 from the supercyclone, he discovered that the time was not right.
From the outset, they raided the Hand's base and searched for the Beast's contact information.
Then, they enter the dimensional dimension, defeat the beast, and hunt down the beast in the super vortex.
In Russell's view, the entire event took no more than half an hour, which was quite efficient.
But when he returned to Sakura Island on Earth-404, it was already afternoon.
Clearly, he had entered a region with a different time flow rate than Earth-404.
Coulson did the math in his head and gave the answer: "About 66 hours."
"Only two or three days?"
Russell breathed a sigh of relief.
"Coulson, give hello to S.H.I.E.L.D., we'll open a portal and be there in no time."
Bertrand Russell was a polite man.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't teleport to his master's home without their consent, unlike Tony.
“Okay.” Coulson’s voice was slightly excited.
He felt that S.H.I.E.L.D. had taken a small step toward recruiting Russell.
This is a small step for S.H.I.E.L.D., but a giant leap for world peace.
After calling Nick Fury and briefly explaining the situation, Coulson obtained permission.
A golden spark flashed, and a portal adorned with intricate carvings of dragons and phoenixes opened.
Every now and then, sparks fall, like leaves dancing in the air.
This is Russell's Portal 3.0.
Space carrier, conference room.
Everyone looked at the portal before them, their gazes involuntarily turning to Tony.
"Why is your (the portal's) art style so different?"
Finally, it was Natasha who asked the question.
Tony's lips twitched: "The effect is the same. There's no need to make it fancy, like street magic."
Following Coulson, Russell stepped out of the portal and joked, "Is it unnecessary, or is it not allowed?"
Tony: "Of course there's no need."
"Snapped."
With a snap of his fingers, the portal closed rapidly.
The remaining sparks drifted down like a shower of flowers.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Natasha couldn't help but exclaim.
Russell looked in the direction of the sound, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, and he was momentarily lost in thought.
The tight-fitting combat suit accentuated her curves, highlighting her figure.
Her short, golden hair gave her a capable and efficient look.
Her face was delicate and alluring.
A dazzling patch of snow-white against her neck and chest.
No wonder that handsome young basketball superstar suddenly had the idea to drink his bathwater.
Noticing Russell's gaze, Natasha winked knowingly.
Something is wrong!
Russell quickly regained his composure.
This wasn't the first time he had met Natasha.
Russell had met Natasha when she went undercover as Natalie to work as Tony's personal assistant.
If Natasha is described as breathtakingly beautiful, Russell would agree.
But it was absolutely impossible for him to lose his composure or become nearly out of control.
It's energy absorbed during battles with beasts!
The upgraded panel can absorb energy and convert it into attribute points, but its filtering function has been greatly weakened.
In the battle against the beast, Russell absorbed tens of millions of crimson energies.
The 'impurities' in these energies are far from enough to crush Russell's spirit.
But at times, it can have some impact on him.
For example, just now?
Flames rose in the spiritual world, beginning to burn the pervasive crimson mist.
Russell composed himself and winked at Natasha in response.
Natasha smiled and stopped teasing Russell.
She saw that Russell's eyes were clear, and that this was no longer a good time.
Seeing this, Russell smiled and went to greet the others.
To reiterate, Russell was a polite person.
After exchanging pleasantries, Nick Fury smiled and said:
"Russell, you've arrived."
"Don't worry about the Hand. The Avengers have already captured their top brass, and they can be handed over to you if you need them."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. will also help suppress the matter of Sakura Island."
Russell raised an eyebrow; it seemed like S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attitude was much more enthusiastic than last time.
but...
Russell shook his head:
"The matter of Sakura Island is not over yet."
"Besides, I don't need S.H.I.E.L.D. to help suppress it."
Whether the world knows about it or not has no effect on me.
I can live without beef now, so there's no need to be modest.
“However,” Russell added, “I will remember what happened to Erin.”
Nick Fury frowned and asked:
"Karmar-Taj has always been very low-key in its approach to things."
"Isn't it because you don't want the public to know about supernatural events?"
Russell explained:
That was true in the past, but it's different now.
"The Ancient One has one set of rules, and I have another set of rules."
The reasons are more complex, but Russell felt it was unnecessary to tell Nick Fredo.
Anyway, he'll fill in the blanks in his mind.
Nick Fury paused for a moment, digesting the deeper meaning in Russell's words.
He then asked another question: "Russell, could you tell us what a beast is?"
Of all the information about the Hand, S.H.I.E.L.D. is most concerned about Beast.
This beast's life form is highly similar to that of Blood God and Mephisto.
Understanding the Beasts helps S.H.I.E.L.D. understand what beings like Dimensional Demons and Hell Lords are all about.
