Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent-Chapter 366 - 310: Various Alliances

Nick Fury tapped his tablet again, and then satellite footage from multiple angles appeared.

"Fuck! Are you sure it’s not April Fool’s Day today?! How could something like this exist on Earth? This thing is probably over fifty meters tall, and those tentacles must be at least a hundred meters."

The larger the size, the more resources are needed, even the oxygen for breathing requires a massive amount.

Growing into such a size, this giant octopus is totally unscientific!

Because currently, Earth simply cannot sustain such a massive creature!

"But the fact remains, this thing truly exists. Since ancient times, Titan beasts have lived on Earth, but with environmental changes, their numbers have dwindled.

Currently on Earth, there are over a dozen detected Titan beasts, and among them, there is one hibernating in Japan.

If we can’t quickly deal with this giant octopus, it might very well awaken another hibernating Titan beast.

At that time, we will become even more passive, and it could even bring humanity to the brink of disaster."

There are quite a few methods to kill Titan beasts, but given S.H.I.E.L.D.’s resources, the means to take down this thing are frankly limited.

Additionally, Nick Fury is aware of one fact: Titan beasts are not afraid of nuclear bombs!

They can even devour nuclear radiation to aid their growth!

"Tsk tsk, this world is truly interesting. Alright, I’ll help with this."

The two quickly reached a cooperation.

For Nick Fury, convincing Tony, this playboy, wasn’t all that difficult.

As for helping him solve the reactor problem, as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he knows quite a bit.

Among them is Howard Stark’s legacy, which includes a manuscript left from his research on the Cosmic Cube.

That thing can definitely solve Tony Stark’s reactor problem.

If there’s truly no other way, extracting energy from the Cosmic Cube to create a new pollution-free, non-toxic energy reactor is also feasible.

But asking him to hand over the Cosmic Cube is impossible!

It’s S.H.I.E.L.D. property, and it’s extremely dangerous, absolutely cannot be under the control of any force.

Leaving Tony’s villa, Nick Fury headed straight for a residential building in New York’s Queens.

When Peter Burke returned home from school, he immediately saw Nick Fury sitting in his house, talking with Ben Burke and Aunt May.

"Our young boy has returned. Peter, this is Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he’s here to invite you to join the institute."

Ben Burke stood up, patting Peter Burke’s shoulder, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Over the past two months, Peter Burke’s changes, as his family, how could Ben Burke not notice?

He often disappeared from his room at night, and even found some strange items there.

Considering recent news reports, Ben Burke and Aunt May naturally have their guesses, just not saying them aloud.

"Peter Burke, your talent for research is outstanding. S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to invite you to participate in a research project led by Mr. Tony Stark. Are you willing to be a part of it?"

First, lure this kid to S.H.I.E.L.D., then pass him to Captain America.

For the youth of today, few can resist Captain America, especially with S.H.I.E.L.D.’s investigation showing this little Spider-Man greatly admires Tony Stark.

"How about we go to a café outside to chat, young man?"

Seeing the confusion on Peter Burke’s face, Nick Fury walked over, patted his shoulder, and headed towards the door.

"Alright, Director Nick Fury."

As the other approached, Peter Burke’s Spider Sense had a faint reaction.

This made him realize the person wasn’t as kind-hearted as he seemed.

Now, at home, he didn’t want to cause a conflict, which might affect Ben Burke and Aunt May, leading him to regret deeply.

The two walked out the door and headed to a nearby café.

"Peter Burke, there are many people in this world with extraordinary power, you’re just one of them.

However, for your crime-fighting actions, as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I still express my approval.

But you’ve also caused no small trouble for the public officials, for which S.H.I.E.L.D. has been cleaning up after you and Gwen Stacy quite a bit."

Nick Fury’s words left Peter Burke utterly shocked.

Yesterday he got beaten up, had his identity exposed, and got entangled with Gwen Stacy.

The next day he was told again that they knew his identity.

Originally thinking he hid himself well, Peter Burke’s mind now was a mix of emotions.

"Director Nick, what kind of official organization is S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Peter Burke didn’t have much fondness for official organizations.

In New York with so many crimes and gun-related deaths, those police, those FBI, those various government organizations, hardly dealt with them.

This is one of the reasons he became Spider-Man, fighting against crime everywhere.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is a global organization, formed under the leadership of the Five Permanent Members of the United Nations, aiming to protect the world.

Listen, Peter Burke, now the whole world is in trouble, big trouble, so I have no choice but to step forward to recruit people with extraordinary power.

I need your power to eliminate the monsters threatening the world."

Nick Fury did not take Peter Burke to the café but instead got into his custom-modified Jeep, then took out a tablet from the car.

"Look at these things and then tell me if you’re willing to do something for this world."

The footage of the giant ocean monster Octopus appeared again.

Destroying cities, tearing down buildings, attacking humans, devouring humans...

One video after another, watching them made Peter Burke’s face turn deathly pale.

With Peter Burke’s brain, he almost instantly predicted the gigantic size of Octopus based on city buildings.

"Director Nick, are you sure I can handle this Octopus?!"

With his skinny arms and legs, wouldn’t a punch just be equivalent to giving Octopus a massage, tickling it?

Are you sure you’re not sending him to deliver meals?

"We need you to participate in the containment task, as for the primary force against this giant octopus, there’s someone else."

Among the known exceptionally powered individuals, Nick Fury could only think of four people who could deal with Octopus.

The Celestial Sword Bureau from the Great Xia Empire, Captain Marvel Carol, the Sky Curtain Group’s Mo Qingchen, and the Banner’s transformed Hulk!

Don’t even think about the Celestial Sword Bureau; they’re having big troubles themselves right now, unable to help.

As for Carol, he won’t disturb her for now unless it’s absolutely necessary; he’s not calling Carol back to Earth.

Mo Qingchen has been contacted, but he ignores Nick, leaving him helpless.

So in the end, he can only pull Banner onto the team.

Hulk is uncontrollable, a huge hidden danger, but compared to the destruction caused by Octopus, Hulk is entirely within an acceptable range!

Moreover, since being wanted by the military, Banner has begun researching methods to control the Hulk within him.

Though not yet 100% effective, he’s also not haphazardly transforming.

Basically, Banner can now control the transformation quite well.

Of course, the prerequisite is not to provoke him.

As for recruiting him, it’s actually very simple, just let S.H.I.E.L.D. negotiate with the military to get Banner to work for S.H.I.E.L.D.

After all, he’s a scientist with seven PhDs!

Then recruit his girlfriend into S.H.I.E.L.D., and wouldn’t Banner be in the palm of the hand?

Perfect!
