“What an unmitigated disaster.” Nick Fury muttered the words to himself.
His immediate priority was to stabilize Thor and offer the Asgardian every luxury the S.H.I.E.L.D.
Triskelion could provide.
Even Kingpin had been shuffled into the secure facility, held in a high-security wing.
This wasn’t a matter for a lone spymaster; this was an intergalactic diplomatic crisis.
Fury had no authority to decide Earth’s posture, so he immediately kicked the report up to the World Security Council, leaving the leaders of the five major powers to determine their collective fate.
Fury’s job, meanwhile, was to act as the ultimate intelligence gatherer.
He needed a complete dossier on Asgard: the personality, abilities, and governing philosophies of all three princes.
After all, installing a tyrant would be the equivalent of handing the nuclear codes to a madman, potentially plunging the Nine Realms into chaos.
As expected, S.H.I.E.L.D.
operated with clinical efficiency.
Within a fortnight, they had deployed a constant stream of agents to accompany Thor on a whirlwind tour of Earth.
They used every psychological trick, tactical interrogation, and subtle probe imaginable.
Even Kingpin was subjected to dozens of interrogations, some crossing the line into the inhumane.
Finally, the picture of the Aesir’s power structure was complete.
When Fury presented the findings to the World Security Council, a heavy, suffocating silence descended over the chamber.
The Eldest, Karsa (God of Light): Master of Valhalla, commander of the twelve Gold Saints, with power rivaling Odin himself.
He was the overwhelming favorite for the throne.
Yet, he was characterized as arrogant, tyrannical, and aloof.
He had personally orchestrated the near-extinction of the Jotunheim frost giants and the near-annihilation of the Dark Elves.
If he ascended to the throne, Earth wouldn’t just be under a new god; it would be under a monster.
The Second, Thor (God of Thunder): Reckless, simple-minded, and easily manipulated.
However, he wore his love for warfare like a badge of honor.
A king obsessed with conquest was the last thing a world of fragile borders needed.
If Thor ascended, Earth would inevitably become the bloody battlefield for his next campaign.
The Third, Loki (God of Mischief): A master of schemes and manipulations.
He was the least popular candidate among the council.
Even if they had to support Thor, there was zero consensus for Loki; a brilliant, scheming sovereign was a nightmare for any subordinate.
The council was left in a state of existential dread.
How had Odin survived this long?
He was surely seconds away from a stress-induced stroke every single day.
“So,” the French representative finally broke the silence.
“Whom do we support?” “We support Thor,” the Chinese representative stated flatly.
“Agreed,” the American representative added.
Russia and the UK quickly fell into line.
In a rare moment of global consensus, the permanent members of the Security Council chose the Thunder God.
The logic was cold and pragmatic.
Karsa was untouchable—a force of nature that demanded total submission or death.
Loki was too sharp-minded to trust.
Thor, however, was simple.
Psychology experts had concluded that he possessed a dormant capacity for empathy.
In short: he was naive, easily influenced, and essentially a blank slate.
The council had already drafted the strategy.
Thor loved war?
They would show him the true, wretched face of human suffering.
They would bind his heart with love, friendship, and earthly attachments.
They would guide him into becoming a peace-loving monarch.
If they helped Thor secure the throne, he would owe Earth a debt of gratitude—and keep the status quo of protection without interference.
“S.H.I.E.L.D.
will handle the implementation,” the American representative concluded.
Fury didn’t hesitate.
He immediately secured funding, official sanction for the ‘Avengers’ initiative, and the authority to act with whatever discretion was required to mold a god.
He summoned his most reliable operative, Phil Coulson.
“Changing a god’s worldview isn’t a task for a weekend.
Get the psychologists.
I want a deep-dive analysis on his aesthetic preferences, his temperament, everything.
Find out what kind of woman he’s attracted to, and start training assets to fit the profile.
I’ve always believed that ‘love’ is the ultimate tool for character assassination—or in this case, character reformation.” Coulson nodded, turning to leave, before Fury called out, “And keep this quiet.
Thor must never suspect a thing.” “I’m a vault, sir,” Coulson replied.
Fury leaned back, satisfied.
He then summoned his two top field assets: Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff.
“The Avengers Initiative is live.
You two are the founding members.
Your primary objective: shadow the Thunder God.
Build a bond, earn his trust, and become the friends he’d kill to protect.
Thor is our project now.” — Don’t forget to send Spirit Stones for more chapters.
