I'm starting a mythology craze at Marvel

Chapter 18 Building a Super-Powered Army

"Director, here's what's going on. Tony Stark has recently been focusing on a book called The Graaki Revelation, and he seems to have collected something and is currently researching it."

After obtaining this information, Natasha immediately found a safe place after Stark got off work and reported to Xia Ling through a special phone.

"Did he figure out anything?"

"It is still unclear what Tony has discovered, Director. His laboratory has a very high security level and is kept completely confidential from the outside world.

But, according to him, he had no idea.”

Xia Ling was silent for a while, then said: "In that case, you continue to monitor, I still have things to deal with here."

Xia Ling hung up the phone and turned his gaze to Alexander who was walking towards him. He saw that he was in high spirits. The big boss of Hydra was so happy that he guessed that something interesting must have happened.

"Minister Alexander, you look so happy, do you have some good news to share? Let me guess, it's because of Nick Fury?"

The corner of Alexander's mouth twitched, and he looked like he was about to give up.

"Ahem, Xia Ling, let's stop with the matter about Fury. I have already bailed him out. Please stop targeting him."

"Is it targeted at him? How come I don't know?"

Xia Ling spread his hands, looking innocent and confused.

"I gave him a new job, and when his best friend attacked me, I not only didn't kill him outright, but I repaid evil with kindness by sending him to the hospital.

I even helped pay for Fury's medical expenses when he was practicing. There are not many good people like me nowadays."

Alexander's mouth curled up unconsciously when he heard this, and he was obviously amused by Xia Ling's words, but he still tried to maintain his dignity as the leader of Hydra.

"Let's not talk about this. What are you going to say about the Security Council's inquiry?"

"They are nothing more than a bunch of bureaucrats, just a few words of deception will do."

Xia Ling patted the snakehead on the shoulder and strode into the conference room, where he was greeted by four projections.

The Security Council Chairman saw Xia Ling coming in, and without much greeting, he spoke directly: "Director Xia, this recent incident has aroused widespread concern and worry around the world. As the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., how do you view these issues?"

"Sir, I think this incident is a dangerous signal. It means that the world will change drastically. The previous response methods are no longer appropriate."

Xia Ling made this conclusion, but the expressions on the faces of the Security Council members were not very good.

"Director, do you mean that we need to re-examine and adjust our strategies and tactics to cope with this increasingly complex and changing world? If so, what approach do you plan to take?"

There was a hint of doubt in the voice of Security Council Chairman Mars. Obviously, he and other members were uneasy about Xia Ling's assertion that "the world will change drastically."

Xia Ling nodded and continued, "We need a group of troops with special abilities to deal with the superpower wars that may break out in the future."

"Excuse me, Director, you have the best agents in the world. You don't need those freaks. I don't know what the previous director told you. But relying on a narcissist, a few thieves, or a monster, oh yes, now he is a complete monster, I really don't think they can protect the world."

A female representative, Liana, raised an objection again, saying that a group of uncontrollable freaks were simply a time bomb, and they could hurt themselves at any time.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I meant a psychic force, not a psychic squad."

Xia Ling's eyes swept across the projections of each Security Council member on the conference table. He could clearly see the worry and suspicion in their eyes.

Having a super-power team and a super-power army are two completely different concepts. To put it bluntly, if it really happens.

Whoever has control over this force will have a greater say, and it is unknown who will preside over the meeting of the Security Council at that time.

"I understand your concerns, but please allow me to elaborate on my idea. The threats we face are far beyond the scope of what traditional military and special agents can deal with.

I believe everyone has seen what happened to the Red Giant. A modern army was defeated in such a short time.

Even the opponent's losses are so small that they can be almost ignored. In this case, besides using dirty bombs, do you have any better way to deal with the opponent?
And I have a feeling that incidents like this will only become more and more frequent in the future, and by then, ordinary troops will be of no use. No matter how many people there are, there will be no other result except for the corpses to pile up higher.

The main force of the war will be those with super powers."

As Xia Ling finished speaking, several representatives looked at each other, and it was the Chairman of the Security Council, Mars, who asked the first question.

"Director, I understand what you mean, but what should we do if those superpowers are out of control?"

"How do we ensure that these people with super powers are controllable? We will establish a strict screening mechanism to ensure that each member has a high sense of responsibility and mission. At the same time, we will keep them under the light of the Lord to ensure that they do not abuse their super powers.

In addition, we will develop specialized monitoring and mitigation technologies to be ready in the event of an incident.”

Ms. Liana frowned, obviously still hesitant: "But such a plan requires a lot of resources and the effect is difficult to predict. How can we explain all this to the public? How can we avoid causing panic?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, times have changed. The threat from the Red Giant is only the beginning. The Blood God behind him is not an easy god to deal with.

If we don't seize the time and build a strong superpower army, do you have the confidence to fight the Chaos warriors in hand-to-hand combat and win the favor of the Blood God?"

There was a brief silence in the meeting room, and the members of the Security Council exchanged glances, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, Chairman Mars nodded slowly: "Director Xia, your proposal is indeed worthy of our deep consideration. We will include this issue in the agenda of the next formal meeting of the Security Council for more in-depth discussion and decision-making."

Xia Ling bowed slightly to express his gratitude: "Thank you all for your understanding and support. I believe that as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

The world needs a villain, or rather, it needs more villains. The Red Giant can be one, but he is not strong enough. We need new big guys to join.

Perhaps, Master Ancient One is a suitable candidate?
Only when the world is in chaos, will the faith generated be sincere enough!
