#150 - If you lose, you are the villain; if you win, you are the emperor of the earth!
A year ago, the sudden energy burst in New York was Luo Fu's doing.
So, why did Luo Fu deliberately conceal himself after that, even though he was clearly aware of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence?
Even the battle in New Mexico was almost traceable, even to the extent that S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to understand it; it was the only time Luo Fu exposed his strength.
Clearly, he was aware that S.H.I.E.L.D. was watching his sister, but Luo Fu still hid himself so thoroughly.
S.H.I.E.L.D. knew Luo Fu's age very well.
He chose to enter society after graduating from high school and only worked as an insurance salesman for a short time.
Such a grassroots youth, suddenly possessing power, inexplicably chose to hide his abilities, and hid them so thoroughly; the only explanation is that he was afraid of something.
And who or what organization could make him afraid, other than S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Phil Coulson secretly lamented in his heart; if the truth was really as he was now guessing, then from the beginning, Luo Fu harbored extreme vigilance, even hostility, towards S.H.I.E.L.D.
To win him over, even if it wasn't impossible, would be an incredibly difficult task.
So many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but Phil Coulson's face didn't reveal the slightest hint.
"I didn't expect that you already knew about our S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence a year ago!"
Phil Coulson acted as if he hadn't noticed anything and proactively invited Luo Fu to the command center of the Helicarrier.
Although Luo Fu knew that Phil Coulson's performance at the moment was somewhat acted, even he had to admit that Phil Coulson was indeed a very charismatic person to be able to become the newbie village chief of the Marvel Universe.
At least, his temperament was indeed very harmless, which could make people unconsciously relax their vigilance and shorten the distance between each other.
Together with Thor, as Luo Fu followed Phil Coulson towards the command center of the Helicarrier,
a roar instantly came.
Following the sound.
Bruce Banner, who had turned into the Hulk, was now chasing Black Widow Natasha as if his life depended on it.
"Let me." Seeing this scene, Thor immediately swung Mjolnir in his hand and charged forward.
But the moment he arrived in front of the Hulk, before Thor could speak, the Hulk had already punched Thor squarely in the face.
Caught off guard, Thor flew out, crashing through several walls in a row.
You should know that if the Hulk in his Hulk state could be easily awakened to Bruce Banner's consciousness, Banner wouldn't have hidden himself in India.
After punching Thor away, the Hulk's gaze quickly fell on Luo Fu.
It was unknown if it was because Luo Fu was the calmest of the people present that he was noticed by the Hulk.
But the moment the Hulk charged towards Luo Fu, an immense force suddenly appeared out of nowhere, slamming into the back of the Hulk's head with a bang.
To make the Hulk disappear, besides passively waiting, there was another way, which was to forcibly knock the Hulk unconscious, so that Dr. Banner could be awake for a short time.
However, this method was at most used to awaken Banner; once you wanted to harm Bruce Banner in human form, the Hulk would instantly wake up again, and even the injuries suffered by Dr. Banner would disappear in an instant, and what you would face next would be an even more terrifying Hulk.
Luo Fu's method of knocking out the Hulk didn't have much gold content.
It was just an ability within his bloodline to manipulate gravity, forcibly creating a gravitational field on the Hulk's body to prevent the powerful force from causing further damage to the Helicarrier when it landed on the Hulk.
Next, it was a simple matter of brute force, turning the powerful gravity into an invisible hammer, instantly slamming it on the Hulk's head.
Facts proved that Luo Fu's simple and crude approach was indeed successful; at least the Hulk did faint, and the terrifying Hulk was now quickly reverting to Dr. Banner's form.
But at this moment, Dr. Banner had nothing but his shorts and didn't even have a piece of clothing.
Seeing Dr. Banner faint silently under Luo Fu's gaze,
both Black Widow Natasha, who had been chased miserably by Dr. Banner, and Phil Coulson revealed shocked expressions.
You should know that the Hulk's power had once left the military helpless.
Now, in front of Luo Fu, he was so easily handled.
It was no wonder that Phil Coulson and Black Widow Natasha were so shocked.
After the two exchanged a glance, Black Widow Natasha pondered for a moment and said, "You are the Human God, the Dimensional Demon God Luo Fu, right? Thank you for saving my life. If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would be now..."
After a slight pause, Natasha revealed a weak expression.
But Luo Fu was obviously not so easily fooled.
Black Widow Natasha was best at using her own strengths.
Seduction was her forte.
Unfortunately, although Luo Fu couldn't be said to dislike women, he definitely didn't like public transportation.
Even if it was official use of public resources, he couldn't accept it; this was almost a kind of mental cleanliness, let alone pure public transportation.
From the moment he saw Natasha Romanoff, Luo Fu had already felt the mixed aura on her body.
Frowning, before Luo Fu could speak, Thor, who had just taken a punch from the Hulk with his face, came running from the holes in the walls.
"Damn it, how dare you..."
Just as he rushed out of the hole, Thor saw Dr. Bruce Banner, who was already unconscious and had reverted to his human form, lying on the ground motionless except for his shorts made of some unknown material.
Stunned for a moment, Thor quickly laughed and said to Luo Fu, "Brother, I knew that this guy would be easily solved by you."
Suddenly, a violent tremor came from under their feet.
The Helicarrier began to tilt in a way that people could clearly feel.
"Not good, the turbine engines on one side of the Helicarrier have all stopped working; we're afraid we're going to crash from the sky!" Phil Coulson and Natasha's expressions changed drastically.
Without Luo Fu's intervention, the Helicarrier was also attacked by Hawkeye, who was controlled by Loki.
But S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers ultimately resolved the crisis of the crash.
But this time, even though there was Luo Fu, this powerful Dimensional Demon God, precisely because he had brushed past Loki in front of the cage,
Loki intensified his destruction of the Helicarrier even more.
This was why the crisis of the crash, which was originally about to be resolved, had instead become even more unmanageable because of Luo Fu's appearance.
Similarly, Thor, who was barely maintaining his balance amidst the tilting, didn't seem worried at all.
This was not only because Thor could use Mjolnir to achieve flight, but more importantly, Thor knew how powerful Luo Fu's ability to control gravity was.
Not to mention a Helicarrier, even an island could be lifted into the sky by Luo Fu by manipulating gravity.
"Brother, now it's up to you," Thor said with a proud look.
Luo Fu nodded slightly.
He didn't seem to make any movements.
But the Helicarrier, which was tilting irreversibly towards the crash, suddenly seemed to be held up by a pair of invisible hands and silently returned to a level state.
Tony Stark, who was constantly repairing the turbine engines on the outside of the Helicarrier, naturally felt that the Helicarrier, which was about to crash, had strangely returned to a level state.
"Jarvis, quick, check it out; what's going on?"
"Sir, after testing, the Helicarrier is now surrounded by a strange gravitational field; this gravitational field is enough to keep the Helicarrier in a level state."
"Does S.H.I.E.L.D. have such technology?" Tony Stark was really surprised.
However, although the Helicarrier was maintained in a level state by the strange gravitational field, Tony Stark still didn't stop repairing the turbine engines.
With the maintenance of the gravitational field, even Tony Stark's repair of the turbine engines went much smoother.
After completing the repair of the two turbine engines,
Jarvis's prompt came to Tony Stark's ears again.
"Sir, the gravitational field surrounding the Helicarrier has disappeared."
"It seems the technology of this helicarrier is much more powerful than I imagined." Tony Stark had initially looked down on this so-called helicarrier.
Despite the helicarrier's ability to fly in the air, Tony Stark believed that Stark Industries' technological reserves could create an even more technologically advanced helicarrier.
It was just that for Tony Stark and Stark Industries, there was no need for it.
But now, Tony Stark realized that he seemed to have underestimated the technological sophistication of this helicarrier.
At the very least, the special level of gravitational field that the helicarrier had just demonstrated was an area that Stark Industries had not yet explored.
After all, creating that kind of horizontal gravitational field almost meant being able to manipulate gravity, and gravity is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe.
Even through gravity, one could further interfere with space and time; even black holes are products of extreme gravity.
When Tony Stark, piloting his Iron Man armor with its chipped paint, returned to the interior of the helicarrier,
he was surprised to find a somewhat familiar Asian face inside the helicarrier.
In an instant, Tony Stark recognized that this Asian man was none other than the 'God on Earth' they had discussed not long ago!
"Wow."
The mask on his cheek instantly popped up, revealing Tony Stark's iconic face.
Curiously sizing up Luo Fu, Tony Stark said, "Isn't this our God on Earth? Do I need to pray to you now?"
Luo Fu raised an eyebrow. In this short period, through conversations with Phil Coulson, Natasha, the awakened Dr. Banner, and Thor, he had learned that his identity had been discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Even because Thor's definition of dimensional demons was somewhat vague,
S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers had simply and crudely regarded him as the so-called God on Earth.
Luo Fu chuckled, his tone carrying an undeniable edge as he said, "Although I never thought of becoming any God on Earth, I don't mind tasting the feeling of being high above."
"You want to rule Earth?" Tony Stark asked with a surprised expression, "Kid, listen to me, have you seen movies? You must have seen comics and cartoons, right? Do you know what kind of people want to rule Earth in stories? They are villains who will inevitably be defeated by the protagonists. That's right, Uncle Tony is undoubtedly the protagonist."
Tony Stark calling himself 'Uncle' in front of Luo Fu wasn't really taking advantage.
After all, Tony Stark was born in 1970, while in this world, Luo Fu was a standard post-90s kid. Purely in terms of age, Tony Stark was almost more than twice Luo Fu's age.
Calling himself 'Uncle' was quite appropriate.
"In stories, the losers are the villains, and the winners are the emperors who rule the Earth," Luo Fu said with a decisive tone.
As his words fell, the atmosphere within the entire helicarrier instantly became heavy.
Thor, not understanding the situation, asked in surprise, "You seem to be very unhappy about my brother becoming your god? He is the most powerful being on your Earth. Isn't it natural for him to become your king? Why do you seem unwilling to agree even if it means death?"
"Wow! On Earth, we threw the emperors into the trash long ago," Tony Stark said matter-of-factly, "The last guy who wanted to rule Earth was defeated by those old fogeys."
As he spoke, Tony Stark pointed to Captain America beside him.
Captain America sighed and said, "Kid, I think I should be able to call you that. Your ideas are wrong. Such ideas need to be corrected."
Luo Fu smiled nonchalantly and said, "Correct my ideas? Are you saying, with just you few?"
Seeing the atmosphere between the two sides becoming increasingly tense,
Thor had to interrupt and say, "If you have any differences between you Earthlings, you can resolve them later. Right now, shouldn't you first solve the trouble Loki has caused?"
Perhaps Thor's words provided everyone with a temporary stepping stone.
Captain America took a deep breath and said, "Kid, I don't know how powerful you really are, or if you really are like Thor said, like a god on Earth, but no matter what, we will not accept a so-called emperor riding on our heads. The former guy couldn't do it, and neither can you."
Luo Fu glanced meaningfully at the members of the Avengers and said, "Then let's wait and see."
The reason Luo Fu was behaving so arrogantly at this moment was to gain the upper hand.
He knew what kind of image Asians, especially Chinese, had in America.
To put it nicely, they are called reasonable. To put it bluntly, they are people who swallow their anger in the face of trouble.
This image has almost become a stereotype of Chinese people in America.
Of course, besides this, there is also a type that is terrifying.
Luo Fu would rather be a terrifying existence than let people think he is weak and easily bullied.
For the people of America, one concession will not bring the other party's guilt and awakening, but will only make the other party intensify.
In America, what can truly make people bow their heads is only power, rights, and wealth.
The current Luo Fu has neither rights nor wealth, but he has the power to make people despair.
And with absolute power, then whether it is rights or wealth, they are just things that can be obtained easily.
However, those are not Luo Fu's pursuit. What Luo Fu really wants is to not be disturbed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and people with ulterior motives.
But to do this, either you have to be deeply involved, like Tony Stark, who is first a multi-billionaire before being a superhero, with tentacles spread across all walks of life in America, whether it is government departments or the military, there are people who stand with Stark Industries.
Luo Fu has no interest in slowly building any power.
The upcoming Chitauri invasion is the best opportunity for Luo Fu to show his strength and muscles.
As long as those with ulterior motives feel Luo Fu's powerful and unmatched power, then even a crazy guy, truly standing at the pinnacle of this country and this planet, will take the initiative to eliminate all hidden dangers for Luo Fu.
After the tense atmosphere eased slightly,
Nick Fury looked at Luo Fu with a solemn expression and said, "Mr. Luo Fu, about your desire to rule this planet, I think we can wait until this crisis is resolved. After all, since you want to become an emperor, then you must first have your own people. Isn't that right? If this planet falls into the hands of aliens, you may first have to solve the problem of these aliens."
"Good point, you are very suitable to be a lackey."
Luo Fu's words made Nick Fury's forehead bulge with veins.
At this moment, Nick Fury had even made up his mind that if Luo Fu's strength was really as powerful as Thor said, then he would definitely summon Carol back.
In Nick Fury's heart, Carol was an invincible existence. After all, what happened back then still made Nick Fury feel refreshed.
Carol's terrifying power to fight against the interstellar fleet with her own strength, in Nick Fury's view, was even more terrifying than God.
A God on Earth, a superhero even more terrifying than God, if the former insists on his own way, I am afraid that only the latter can stop him.
"Then let's discuss how to deal with the evil god Loki!" Nick Fury said through gritted teeth, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart.
"Hey."
Thor said dissatisfied, "Watch your words. Loki is not an evil god. He is a prince of Asgard."
"But to us on Earth, he is the enemy!" Captain America firmly stood on Nick Fury's side.
"Okay! Let's put aside the dispute for now," Tony Stark took the initiative to smooth things over and said, "Everyone thinks, for a guy with a theatrical personality, if he wants to fulfill his dream of ruling Earth, what kind of stage would he choose to appear on?"
Luo Fu chuckled and said, "Of course, it is the most conspicuous place, or the highest place. Only such a place can satisfy his desire for conquest, such as..."
Luo Fu looked at Tony Stark with a malicious gaze.
At this moment, Tony Stark finally realized.
It seemed that there was only one place that best fit his and Luo Fu's speculation, and that was the Stark Group's headquarters building, which had just been renovated.
Since Tony Stark became Iron Man and gave up the arms business, Stark Tower had undergone a year-long renovation.
The current Stark Tower has become a landmark building in New York City.
Whether it is from the height or the degree of luxury, it perfectly meets Loki's selection criteria.
“Damn it!” Tony Stark cursed, impatiently activating his Iron Man armor. As the mask snapped into place, he urgently said, “Head to New York now! Everyone, get there as fast as you can! Let's hope our little deer Bambi hasn't messed up my house.”
The instant he finished speaking, Tony Stark vanished before everyone's eyes.
“Quick!” Nick Fury commanded, almost the moment Tony Stark left. “Launch a Quinjet immediately. Get everyone to New York.”
“The Quinjet is too slow. Let me handle it.”
As Luo Fu's voice faded, a massive spatial ripple instantly engulfed all the Avengers members.
The world blurred before their eyes. When they could see clearly again, Captain America, Natasha Romanoff, and even Bruce Banner, who had woken up and changed clothes, were all astonished to find that in the blink of an eye, they had gone from the Helicarrier high above the earth to the bustling city of New York.
Specifically, the rooftop of a building in Chinatown.
They could immediately see Stark Tower in the distance.
Thor, the God of Thunder, excitedly said to Luo Fu, “This seems like the ability you developed based on the Rainbow Bridge, right? You succeeded?”
Luo Fu's lips twitched. The Rainbow Bridge? What a joke. Although Luo Fu had indeed deciphered the mysteries of the Rainbow Bridge through the analysis of Rune magic, and even had his own Rainbow Bridge construction plan,
he didn't dare ride a Rainbow Bridge purely powered by Rune magic when lacking the necessary materials.
The instant teleportation of the Avengers from the Helicarrier to the rooftop in Chinatown was achieved by manipulating gravity to distort space with his own bloodline, combined with the Shinra Tensei's special manipulation of space.
Moving within a planet using this method was indeed convenient, but it was far from comparable to the Rainbow Bridge that spanned infinite starfields.
“This is just a simple spatial ability. While it does have some of the flavor of the Rainbow Bridge, it's nowhere near comparable to the real thing.”
Luo Fu vaguely explained before Thor could dig deeper.
On the rooftop of Stark Tower, a dazzling beam of light shot straight into the sky.
In a very short time, it tore open a huge spatial rift in the sky.
The next moment, countless Chitauri soldiers, riding their flyers, swarmed through, descending upon Earth.
In a short time, these invading Chitauri had already caused incredibly horrific casualties.
Standing on the rooftop of a building in Chinatown, the members of the Avengers Alliance all wore solemn expressions.
Captain America urgently said, “Quick, get us to the battlefield!”
Luo Fu merely glanced at Captain America, but didn't make a move.
In his opinion, there weren't enough Chitauri on Earth yet.
To achieve his initial goal, the entire Earth had to feel powerless despair. Only under those circumstances would Luo Fu's intervention have the best effect.
And Luo Fu's chosen time was just before the nuclear missile arrived.
Currently, humanity's most powerful weapon was the nuke. If Luo Fu could completely unharmed swallow a nuke, that would achieve the best deterrent effect.
Seeing that Luo Fu was unmoved, and even seemed not to have heard him,
Captain America frowned, calmed himself, and loudly said, “Quick, send us over there. The war has begun.”
Luo Fu glanced at Captain America indifferently and said, “So?”
“Since you have this ability, why can you stand by and watch these aliens slaughter Earthlings? Aren't you Earth's God on Earth?” Captain America acted as if he was standing on the moral high ground, pointing fingers.
“I have never admitted that I am Earth's God on Earth! Besides, Earth's God on Earth isn't Earth's human servant. Since when can humans point fingers at God?” Luo Fu said with a half-smile.
“You…” Captain America was instantly exasperated.
Glaring at Luo Fu, he gritted his teeth and said, “Are you just going to stand by and watch all this?”
“Why not?” Luo Fu acted as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
Captain America glared at Luo Fu hatefully, took a deep breath, and said, “It doesn't matter. Even without you, this God, we can still defeat the enemy.”
“Then let me see how you do it!”
Hearing Luo Fu's answer, Captain America, whose mind was filled with worry about the alien invasion, didn't have time to continue arguing with Luo Fu.
Determining the direction, Captain America quickly sprinted, then leaped, jumping to the slightly shorter rooftop next door. Like a parkour master, he moved left and right between the two buildings, eventually making his way to the ground. Then, he headed straight for the place where the war had broken out.
The other Avengers members, Black Widow and Hawkeye, exchanged a look. Then, Hawkeye directly shot an arrow with a steel wire attached, using aerial gliding to reach the ground with Black Widow.
In the blink of an eye, only Bruce Banner and Thor were left with Luo Fu.
Bruce Banner gave a simple and honest smile and said to Luo Fu, “I think I can understand you somewhat.”
Luo Fu raised an eyebrow, looking at Bruce Banner in surprise. “It seems that Dr. Banner has been tormented quite a bit.”
“Indeed.” Bruce Banner gave a wry smile, nodded, and said, “I've been more than just tormented. If they couldn't find a way to kill the guy inside me, I'd probably have been executed by them in every way possible by now.”
“Do you mean that you need to show enough strength to make them wary?”
Bruce Banner gave Luo Fu an understanding expression and said, “Isn't that what you're doing now? However, I hope you really have the confidence, otherwise, perhaps the blame for this alien invasion will be pinned on you.”
Luo Fu had to admit that he had underestimated Dr. Bruce Banner. Although this Green Giant was previously a scientist with an engineering mindset, after experiencing gamma rays and the eventual birth of such a bizarre existence as the Hulk, after being hunted by the military for almost a year, and experiencing countless battles, he naturally couldn't have made no progress at all.
At the very least, he was indeed the only one who had seen through Luo Fu's thoughts.
“I will let you see it.” Luo Fu nodded affirmatively.
Bruce Banner chuckled softly, then slowly walked towards the edge of the rooftop.
“I'll wait and see.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the clothes on Bruce Banner's body were instantly torn apart.
A green-skinned monster seemed to awaken from Bruce Banner's body.
Turning his head to smile at Luo Fu, Bruce Banner leaped up high, heading straight for the core of the battlefield.
“Hey, brother, what exactly are you doing?” Thor, the God of Thunder, looked completely puzzled. In his opinion, Earth was clearly under invasion, and his brother Luo Fu, as a Dimensional God born on Earth, and not in a state of losing himself, why would he appear to be intending to stand by and watch the scene of his hometown being invaded?
Thor was truly unable to understand.
In his opinion, if anyone dared to invade Asgard, then even if it cost him everything, he would let them know the power of Thor Odinson.
Luo Fu glanced at Thor and said, “When you become a true king, you will understand why I am doing this now.”
“I am already a qualified Crown Prince, that's what my mother said.” Thor said with a proud expression.
“But you have never truly gained Odin's approval, have you?” Luo Fu's words instantly shattered Thor's pride.
“You…” Thor was speechless, unhappily saying, “I'm going to fight now, I can't let Loki continue to act recklessly.”
Luo Fu waved his hand, pointing in the direction of Stark Tower.
“Go ahead, and let me remind you, Asgard's Third Princess is now on the top floor of that building, waiting to rule Earth.”
“Brother, let me remind you again, Loki is my brother, he is the Prince of Asgard, not a princess.” In the year in Asgard, Thor didn't know how many times he had corrected Luo Fu's name for Loki.
But for some reason, Luo Fu seemed to always think that Loki was a princess!
