Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 998 - 801: First, Let Me Borrow It_3

Fortunately, for now, Asgard has been relatively friendly.

After all, Fury lacks information about Tao Yu’s rescue efforts in Asgard and other deeds.

Judging purely by his own instincts, maintaining friendliness is already commendable.

But for someone as suspicious by nature as Fury, he still dislikes handing over the blade to someone else.

"Wow, not bad. This is the first time we’ve established contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, and they’ve already sent a delegate. So, following international protocol, shouldn’t we also send a representative to Asgard?"

Fury tested the waters with an almost joking tone.

"How do we get there?"

Tony’s single sentence instantly killed the conversation.

Even the audience who had been supporting Fury in the livestream comments collectively fell silent.

Goodness, how do we get there?

That’s truly a tough question!

Right now, even planning a return trip to the Moon requires painstaking effort, and as for Mars, it’s an even longer road—manned landings are still far in the future.

How can we possibly get to Asgard? Beg someone to take our representative over?

And even then, communication once we’re there would pose another problem!

"Wow, alright, you do raise a valid point. After all, currently we don’t even know where Asgard is located."

"I have friends who’ve been there; they filmed some videos. I’ll edit them for you all to see later—it’s pretty cool, situated in some star nebula."

Tony’s reply dealt yet another heavy blow to Fury.

Not knowing the other party’s location and learning they reside in a nebula... this...

Riding up the elevator, Fury’s mood remained heavy throughout.

The gap between the two sides is just too vast right now.

They refrain from attacking you, simply because they don’t care to do so. If Earth were to stumble upon some universal resource similar to oil, it would be an entirely different story!

Just as the elevator doors were about to open, Nick Fury spoke preemptively.

"Oh, I still need to discuss some other matters with Tony, so I’ll end the livestream here. I hope everyone watching understands."

Fury certainly doesn’t broadcast every topic publicly, so he frequently pulls moves like this.

Leaving behind some unresolved suspense ironically stirs his fan base into speculation.

On occasion, he even uses it to throw out smoke screens and fake news—quite a convenient tactic.

Meanwhile, Tony also ended the livestream at the perfect moment.

Turning toward Tao Yu, who had been silently present but entirely absent from the broadcast content, he said:

"Did you get your hands on some new gadget that can block cameras but doesn’t affect human sight?"

Tao Yu, who was casually drinking at the bar, gradually faded from view.

When he reappeared, he was lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed.

"It’s just the image I want you to see, nothing more."

It’s a technique from Loki’s illusion repertoire—gotta say, pretty practical.

Tao Yu originally possessed quite a bit of knowledge in illusion techniques from the realm of Ninjutsu.

Though both these techniques lose effectiveness outside their respective realms, they do share some commonalities.

By integrating them, one can marginally enhance their illusion abilities in other worlds.

That Loki guy is quite talented...

"Oh, alright, our Supreme Mage, huh?"

Tony shrugged.

"What Supreme Mage?"

Just then, Fury happened to enter the room with his people. Upon noticing Tao Yu’s presence, he was startled.

During the livestream, he hadn’t seen him at all.

"Oh, is Mr. Jack the Supreme Mage?"

Nick Fury seized the opportunity to probe for intel on Tao Yu.

His memories of Tao Yu’s intervention in handling Luke and clearing out the zombie infestation in Hell’s Kitchen were still fresh!

Without permission, he didn’t dare expose this information!

But now, hearing Tony’s words, he saw the chance to inquire casually...

——

"Wait, there are interdimensional Demon Gods too?..."

From Tao Yu’s brief explanation of the Supreme Mage’s duties, Fury rubbed his shiny, bald head with a helpless look toward the heavens.

What a headache!

First, they just barely made contact with aliens, barely suppressed Anbrella, and resolved Hell’s Kitchen’s troubles.

And now there are interdimensional Demon Gods involved!

To top it all off, just after defeating Anbrella, he’s informed that the seemingly formidable Anbrella was just the ’beginner zone’?

This realization left Fury momentarily unable to process it, but simultaneously reignited his fighting spirit.

His convictions have proven correct!

The Avengers must be assembled!

He eagerly glanced at Tao Yu, a Supreme Mage like this seemed perfect for the Avengers!

"Sorry, but I’m not interested in your freak show gang. I’ll simply fulfill my duties."

Tao Yu had no desire to be subjected to this bold guy’s temperance. Even if such a team were assembled, he’d much rather center it around himself to counteract the Abyss Alliance; Fury could at most play an auxiliary role, managing intelligence and analysis or something.

Before Fury could respond, Tao Yu revealed his intentions directly, leaving the man momentarily stunned, but Tao Yu continued:

"In this world, mind-reading does exist, but it involves mental intrusion into another’s brain space. Unless the gap between their willpowers is insurmountable, the process is quite challenging. I rely on clairvoyance, not mind-reading."

Yet the more Tao Yu predicted Fury’s thoughts in advance, the more shocked Fury became deep down.

Even now, despite dabbling in web influencer activities, his innermost thoughts remain guarded and known only to himself.

But who would have thought someone could penetrate his intents so effortlessly!

This made him suddenly reluctant to maintain eye contact with Tao Yu.
