Faced with Hawkeye Barton's self-mockery, everyone wanted to refute, but there was no way to do so.
"It seems to me that while Lin Feng is wary of SHIELD, it's not the same fear he has of the Ancient One, Odin of Asgard, or Dormammu. It's more like the fear of the Kingpin, the fear he might threaten his family!" Tony Stark said. "So far, as far as we know, his fears generally fall into two categories. One is fear of the Ancient One, Odin, Dormammu, and that Purple Potato Spirit, who are simply not as strong as him. The second is fear of the Kingpin, who might bring trouble to his family. Nick Fury, you're also in that second category, but he probably doesn't think you're a ruthless person, so he didn't think to kill you. And SHIELD is also in that second category..."
Nick Fury touched his bald head and felt a little nervous. Indeed, Lin Feng had mentioned this matter before, but he didn't take it seriously at that time. After all, he had offended so many people in his position, so one more person who wanted to kill him was nothing.
But later, as Lin Feng's strength grew, he suddenly discovered that Lin Feng seemed to have the power to kill him at will.
At least judging from his performance in the last battle against the Destroyer Armor, even if it is not as outrageous as the Hulk, he has long been considered inhuman.
"So what do you want to say?" asked Hawkeye Barton.
"What I'm saying is, since they're not something Lin Feng fears, they likely don't have very strong military power. So, I think this organization is similar to your SHIELD. Lin Feng could kill their leader and eliminate them at the source, but he's still worried that this drastic change will trigger a shift in the timeline, leading to the Ancient One or that TVA..." Tony Stark continued. "What does this mean? It means that SHIELD will be involved in many major events in the future. Lin Feng showed no mercy when killing ordinary criminals, which means that their existence or absence won't have a significant impact on the timeline. However, some people are different. For example, Kingpin. Lin Feng has some concerns about killing him directly. And SHIELD is probably a much more powerful organization than Kingpin, so Lin Feng is even more concerned about wiping them out and changing the historical timeline!"
"Doesn't this further prove that there is indeed some kind of organization maintaining our timeline, and they may easily find loopholes in certain timelines. For example, if we read a history book and suddenly find that Washington is gone, what will happen?" Hill said.
"You'll find that the Indians are saved!"
Nick Fury told a cold joke, and then realized that he was the only black person present, and the others were all white. The joke was really cold.
However, Hill's words also made everyone understand that if such an organization really existed, then they might be looking up from the downstream of the timeline. Everything that happened upstream would be recorded, and the places that were different from the records were probably where historical errors occurred.
For example, if they were to establish such an organization now, and if they discovered that Washington had disappeared, what would be the consequences? Perhaps the United States would also disappear. In that case, they would immediately want to correct history, if they had the ability to do so.
After all, they are our ancestors. If they are gone, their existence will disappear with them.
By judging others by yourself, you can understand how terrifying this organization that guarantees time is.
Lin Feng couldn't help but be afraid.
"But what's strange is the connection between the two. Why would it be noticed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and then by that Snake SHIELD? Is there really such an organization in the dark whose power is no smaller than ours?" Black Widow Natasha said a little puzzled.
"Although it's hard to believe, if we assume that Lin Feng did not lie about this matter, then such an organization may really exist." Nick Fury said, feeling a little shocked.
The fact that there is such a powerful organization and we at S.H.I.E.L.D. have noticed it is equivalent to the fact that SHIELD has also noticed it. Such a large organization must have existed for quite some time and all the human, material, resources and relationships involved cannot be organized in a short period of time.
However, in all the years they have handled various cases around the world, they have not found any clues.
This is unreasonable.
The only reasonable explanation is that they, like the magicians, have long known about the existence of SHIELD, but have special ways to avoid SHIELD's surveillance.
In this situation, SHIELD is in the open, while they are in the dark.
In this situation, if the SHIELD wants to attack S.H.I.E.L.D., they will have almost no ability to fight back. The person who attacks in secret is the most terrifying.
"No matter which one it is, we have to be careful about this SHIELD. Besides, it's unclear who is the enemy and who is the SHIELD. We don't know what the camp of this SHIELD is." Nick Fury said.
"This Serpent Shield is definitely not a good thing..." Tony Stark said. "The reason is simple. Lin Feng's concern for Serpent Shield is very obvious, but he clearly doesn't care about their strength. Yet, he's so wary of them. There's only one possibility: they might harm his family. Although Lin Feng is from another universe, he's not a heartless person and seems to accept this relationship. So, from this perspective, in Lin Feng's eyes, Serpent Shield is likely to attack his family. How can they be good people?
If Lin Feng hadn't been afraid of causing drastic changes in the timeline, he would have personally taken out the head of the Snake Shield Bureau long ago. This means that Lin Feng knew their origins, their strengths, and their style of doing things, but it was just not convenient for him to take action! "
Everyone nodded, it was indeed true. They had discussed this before. In fact, based on Lin Feng's attitude towards various forces, they could roughly judge whether it was the lawful, kind, just, or evil, chaotic, disorderly camp.
Every guess is correct, and every guess is silent.
"Do you think it's possible this force has already infiltrated our bureau?" Hawkeye Barton suddenly thought. "How else could we have found no clues in all these years? They're not like those mages, possessing all sorts of magical methods that appear to be on par with us. How could they have managed to remain completely undetected?"
