Everyone who arrived at the Military Base finally relaxed; the day's experiences had truly been too stimulating.
Ethan found Nick Fury and told him that he and Sarah couldn't stay there.
They had to keep moving to avoid Bragi catching them. He asked Nick Fury for a car to escape.
But Nick Fury flatly refused. He couldn't let Ethan and Sarah leave. Wherever they appeared, they would attract the Monster Army and cause destruction.
The King of Agents gave Ethan two choices: either stay and help him kill all the Monster Army, or he would shoot Sarah now and end everything.
Ethan didn't want to choose. He had seen the situation in the city earlier; the weapons outside had little effect on the Monster Army.
Once the missiles were depleted, the unhindered Monster Army would be unstoppable. He didn't want to wait for death with Sarah, nor did he want Sarah to be killed.
Ethan lunged at Nick Fury, attempting to take him hostage and escape with Sarah.
As the King of Agents, Nick Fury was already a seasoned veteran; how could an ordinary civilian like him succeed in a sneak attack?
He was kicked in the abdomen by Nick Fury, falling to the ground and curling up like a shrimp.
"Ethan! How could you do this?"
Sarah screamed, knelt down to check on Ethan, and then shouted at Nick Fury.
"Mr. Ethan Canrick, given your egregious behavior in attempting a sneak attack, I've decided to temporarily detain you."
Looking down at Ethan on the ground, Nick Fury's face was calm, exuding an aura of cold indifference. The guarding soldiers dragged Ethan up and took him to a room for detention.
"And you, Miss Sarah! The cause of all this is you and the Dragon Ball on you, so I hope you can follow our arrangements and stay here properly."
With that, he turned and left. These people had already wasted too much of his time. He needed to go to the command center immediately to mobilize the Military Base's defensive forces and protect the area.
On the defensive line, a large number of heavy weapons entered combat readiness. The energy cannons transported from the Super Cannon Beasts were set up one by one in the position, and scientific researchers were nervously debugging the energy cannons' power supply equipment.
Only Andy and Norman Osborn had nothing to do in the entire Base, dragging Coulson around as a tour guide.
After a tour around the Military Base, they found it was no different from other Military Bases they had seen before, so they lost interest and turned back, preparing to rest.
As they passed the room where Ethan was detained, they heard Ethan shouting something.
The three approached the door and saw Ethan, handcuffed to a chair, yelling at Nick Fury: "Let me go, you murderer! Executioner! Sarah just turned twenty today, and you're going to watch her wait for death here!"
Nick Fury, being called a murderer and executioner, punched him in the face and said, "Watch her wait for death here? What else should be done? Give you two a car and let you wander the World?"
Ethan, having taken a punch, looked at Nick Fury with bloodshot eyes and shouted, "That's still better than waiting for death here. Sarah is a living person; she has the right to survive."
He continued to struggle as he spoke.
Nick Fury looked somewhat angry, reached out, grabbed the struggling Ethan by his collar, and said through gritted teeth:
"Sarah is a person; are other people not people? How many innocent people in Los Angeles have died because of the monsters chasing you?"
"How many soldiers in the army have been killed by monsters trying to protect you two? Now you tell me Sarah has the right to survive, but others don't?"
"You actually want to take her and keep fleeing. Where are you going to flee to? And for how long can you flee?"
"Don't you know the Monster Army will keep chasing you? If you flee, what about the places you pass through?"
"Do they deserve to be killed?"
Ethan opened his mouth, unsure how to refute Nick Fury. He had indeed only thought of himself and Sarah.
Releasing his grip on Ethan, he was about to turn and leave when Ethan called out to him.
"Wait, let me out. I am Sarah's Guardian. Even if I die, I want to die by Sarah's side."
Seeing that Ethan seemed to have come to his senses, Nick Fury waved to the soldiers guarding him to unlock the handcuffs.
"I hope you keep your word."
With that, he stared at Ethan until he nodded before turning to leave, satisfied.
"Uh, is this how you Agents usually convince people? This is too brutal."
Seeing the matter conclude, Andy recalled the scene just now with some shock. Was Nick Fury reasoning with him and appealing to his emotions? That was clearly appealing with fists and then with reason!
This simple and crude method of persuasion directly shattered the image of an Agent in Andy's memory.
Coulson was a bit embarrassed by the question; this was the first time he had seen such a situation.
Normally, when they wanted to convince someone, they would just tell him the truth and then explain the pros and cons of everything.
Nick Fury's actions, let alone Andy, even he, an Agent, hadn't expected.
In the City
Bragi once again lost track of the Dragon Ball. It crawled between the streets, hoping to find its whereabouts.
The Monster Army was fiercely attacking, pushing back the human forces defending them, and the Monster Leader laughed aloud seeing all this.
His Monster Army was indeed invincible. As long as he captured Sarah and sacrificed her to the great Bragi, his dream of ruling the World would soon come true. He ordered to speed up the attack; he wanted to find Sarah and personally offer her to Bragi.
The human army had gathered around Hawkeye and Black Widow. They were defending with their only energy cannon.
Black Widow didn't know how many Black Armor Soldiers she had ignited with brighton, while Hawkeye was continuously sniping Cannon Beasts and flying dragons in the air with Lato.
If Andy hadn't given brighton and Lato to her and Hawkeye to use, they would probably have been completely wiped out by now.
But even so, their pressure continued to increase, as humans are not machines, and human strength eventually runs out.
Their shooting motions became increasingly numb, and the firing frequency of the energy cannon was also continuously decreasing. They were about to lose their defense.
Just as the Monster Army was slowly approaching, dark clouds in the sky began to gather, with occasional flashes of lightning and thunder, like the end of the World.
The Monster Army stopped advancing and turned to leave, a scene that made everyone look at each other.
They didn't know why the Monster Army would retreat when they were about to break through their defenses, but being alive was a good thing after all.
It turned out that Bragi had found the trace of the Dragon Ball, or rather, everyone saw the anomaly in the sky.
Dark, oppressive clouds gathered in the sky, forming a swirling eye of the storm. Anyone could see this scene.
That was the manifestation of the Dragon Ball, and only a fully mature Dragon Ball would produce such an anomaly, just like the scene before Bragi devoured Sarah.
So the Monster Army was now heading to the center of the vortex to help Bragi seize the Dragon Ball.
This scene made Black Widow feel something was wrong. She opened her communicator and asked Coulson: "Did something unexpected happen at the Base?"
Coulson looked at the abnormal situation at the Military Base and gave a wry smile: "Yes, an accident happened."
