"Heh, Zhou Cheng, there are things you don't know?"
Tony's lips curled into a mocking smile, a light tease escaping his lips.
Even Zhou Cheng, who always seemed to know the future, even the lives of each of them, wasn't all-knowing and all-powerful?
Thor didn't just arrive; he left a long time ago!
Not only did he leave, but he took Loki with him.
But even so, Zhou Cheng was right about one thing: the Battle of New York was indeed prevented ahead of time.
That's right, New York should be grateful.
Thanks to them, the diary holders, and of course, thanks to Zhou Cheng, they were spared a brutal disaster.
Coulson was the same, spared the tragic end of being stabbed by Loki…
"Wait a minute!"
"What the hell?"
Tony's eyes widened slightly, a look of barely suppressed surprise on his face.
In that other parallel world, Coulson was killed by Loki, and then... he was revived by S.H.I.E.L.D.?
S.H.I.E.L.D. actually had the ability to do that?
Honestly, this revelation completely shocked Tony.
This was reviving the dead!
Breaking the barrier between life and death!
No matter how you looked at it, this kind of thing shouldn't be possible for an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Even with all the information the diary had revealed so far, as far as Tony knew, only using the Infinity Stones to snap their fingers could accomplish that.
But those were the Infinity Stones!
And even the snap couldn't bring everyone back to life; some specific circumstances, like the sacrifice of Black Widow's soul, wouldn't work.
Could S.H.I.E.L.D. do that now?
Are you kidding me!
The diary made it perfectly clear: S.H.I.E.L.D. revived Coulson, who died during the Battle of New York.
Isn't that saying S.H.I.E.L.D. can do that kind of thing now?
That Nick Fury... did he secretly have such a terrifying method at his disposal?
"T.A.H.I.T.I. Project!"
Nick Fury's single eye flashed before another diary.
He naturally knew what Satan was talking about.
However, although the T.A.H.I.T.I. Project had given Tony a shock, Fury knew the truth. It wasn't perfect yet.
Or rather, there was still a huge amount of room for improvement.
Even theoretically, the T.A.H.I.T.I. Project's success rate was less than a measly ten percent.
This entire process brings immense pain, it's not an exaggeration to call it hellish.
Undoubtedly, this is the reason the diary mentioned Coulson begging them to kill him.
Because the T.A.H.I.T.I. Project was indeed excruciating.
But in that other universe, did the T.A.H.I.T.I. Project actually succeed in reviving Coulson?
With such a low success rate?
Looks like Coulson is quite lucky!
However, what about the special agent team under Coulson's command?
Judging by the diary's tone, it should be a team that Coulson himself recruited and assembled.
But Coulson, right now, simply doesn't have that kind of authority.
Could it be that his other self from that world authorized Coulson to do this?
Nick Fury didn't dwell on it; it was practically a given.
His attention was quickly drawn to another name.
Quake.
Without a doubt, this had to be a superpowered warrior with extraordinary abilities.
As for the nature of those abilities, it was obvious. The word "Quake" said it all.
This was a superhero who could unleash shockwaves.
And shockwave attacks were naturally one of the most destructive and domineering forms of offense.
If used well, the destructive power would be off the charts.
So, upon seeing the nickname "Quake," Nick Fury instinctively took her very seriously.
He made an immediate, almost automatic assessment in his mind.
This Quake... she's probably incredibly strong!
Even so, Nick Fury could never have imagined Quake's strength would be so unbelievable, so exaggerated.
She could shatter the Earth!
Strong!
Too strong!
To put it in simpler terms, Quake is a supernova-level powerhouse?
If he remembered correctly, even Danvers needed to go binary star to reach this level, right?
And in their world, mutants don't exist, so there's a good chance Danvers couldn't even go supernova!
But compared to Quake's formidable strength, there was another piece of information that Fury was even more focused on.
This person... is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent!
Not the Avengers!
Danvers, the Avengers… Nick Fury could mobilize them, but the undeniable truth was they were all big shots in his eyes.
If they were happy and willing to deal with him, everything was fine.
But if they didn't want to, what could he do?
Especially Danvers; she wouldn't even glance at trivial matters.
In other words, Fury's control over these superheroes was severely lacking.
This displeased Fury greatly.
But facing this harsh reality, what could he do, no matter how dissatisfied he was?
After all, they weren't S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
But now, it was good. He had learned that S.H.I.E.L.D. would have a powerful superhero agent in the future!
This was a huge benefit for Fury.
He made a decision almost immediately.
No matter what, they had to find this Quake.
There was just one thing.
The diary mentioned Quake shattering the Earth. It was just a metaphorical description, meant to illustrate Quake's immense power, capable of reaching the level of shattering the Earth.
Or, did Quake actually shatter the Earth in the future? Judging by the diary's tone, Fury thought both possibilities were plausible.
But which one was the truth? Fury couldn't be sure at the moment.
I'm probably overthinking it. Even if Coulson's experiences remain the same, Quake might not even join S.H.I.E.L.D.
After all, the reason Quake even came into contact with Coulson was because she was investigating the Centipede Organization!
But what about now? Killian's been taken care of, and the Extremis Virus hasn't even surfaced!
[Naturally, he wouldn't be targeted by Hydra, and they wouldn't have created a substandard version of the Centipede Virus!]
[The Centipede Organization, you could say, was directly snuffed out at its source.]
Centipede Organization?
Tony's brow immediately furrowed.
It wasn't that the playboy "judged by appearances."
But looking at the name of the Centipede Organization, it didn't seem like a legitimate organization at all. After all, the name of an organization could reflect its characteristics and nature.
And what about a centipede?
It's a poisonous insect, even a frightening one!
This wasn't a good sign.
Looking further, Tony's suspicions were confirmed.
After all that, it turned out that the Centipede Organization was actually created by Hydra, using a low-quality version of the Extremis Virus!
So, Tony knew exactly what the Centipede Organization was.
Without a doubt, it was Hydra's attempt to replicate the Extremis soldiers.
Considering the current situation, apart from the few Extremis soldiers Nick Fury had locked up, the rest had all been taken out by Satan.
Hydra, too, was no longer the Hydra of old; their leader had become a mole for Nick Fury!
Looking at it this way, the Centipede Organization's problem didn't seem to be anything to worry about.
That organization probably wouldn't reappear.
But then again, who knows.
Given Nick Fury's personality, I don't believe he hasn't secretly researched the Extremis Virus. It wouldn't surprise me if he created another Centipede Organization.
It's not that I'm biased against Fury, he did create the Harvest Program!
Not only did he collect the DNA of all the superheroes, but he didn't let go of the Extremis Virus either!
If it wasn't for research, why would Fury do this?
Speaking of which, the Harvest Program was really ambitious. Not only was the DNA of all the superheroes on Earth collected, but even those intergalactic superheroes and supervillains weren't spared.
The Guardians of the Galaxy, like Mantis, Groot, and Drax the Destroyer, not to mention the Black Order, including Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian.
The battle between Gaya and Glaive after they became Super-Skrulls was simply a showcase of cosmic hero abilities.
Just exaggerated!
Tony: "..."
The playboy, who had just dismissed the Centipede Organization, was immediately slapped in the face.
Nick Fury, that guy, had actually come up with the "Harvest Program"?
He had been secretly collecting the DNA of all the superheroes!
What exactly did that bald-headed guy want?
Frowning slightly, Tony couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Fury's actions were completely beyond Tony's tolerance.
After all, no one would want to be someone else's guinea pig, right? Initially, the playboy's impression of Fury had improved when he gave up on studying the Tesseract.
But now, Tony felt he had let his guard down regarding Nick Fury; he wasn't vigilant enough!
Of course.
Analyzing it rationally, Tony could actually understand Fury's actions to some extent.
The other party's actions likely had two purposes:
First, like Batman, to prepare for all the superheroes.
After all, anyone with extraordinary power is a potential threat.
For safety's sake, Nick Fury needed a way to deal with these potential threats.
Second, Nick Fury was naturally trying to replicate the superpowers of the superheroes, attempting to control that immense power!
This, besides the strategic necessity, likely also involved Nick Fury's own ambition.
With Tony's intellect, seeing through Nick Fury's underlying logic wasn't difficult.
He also knew that the other party's actions actually had a certain rationality.
Especially from Nick Fury's perspective as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
But understanding something logically and accepting it emotionally are two different things!
Tony wouldn't, under any circumstances, allow his DNA to fall into Nick Fury's hands!
However, Nick Fury's reach was impressive!
He hadn't even spared those extraordinary beings from the stars, had he?
"Groot!"
The name made Tony's heart skip a beat.
So, this "Tree-Man" was like those talking, walking, seemingly-sentient trees from The Lord of the Rings?
Did such fantastical species really exist?
The universe was truly full of wonders!
Tony couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, while also feeling a little speechless.
First, Rocket Raccoon, then Mantis, and now Groot.
What a weird organization the Guardians of the Galaxy are.
Besides them, there's the Black Order.
The name had actually been mentioned before in the diary, but only once, and that was it.
No information related to them was revealed.
Other than knowing that the five members were all top-tier interstellar powerhouses, Tony didn't have any other intelligence.
Until now, the playboy finally knew the identities of two of them: Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian.
However, unlike names like "Quake," "Ant-Man," and "Purple Potato" (Thanos), which have obvious characteristics that reflect their abilities or appearance,
Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian don't reveal much information at all.
However, Tony made sure to remember those two names.
As for Glaive?
It caused Tony's brow to furrow slightly.
Having dealt with the Skrull problem with Nick Fury, he naturally knew who Glaive was.
Glaive was someone that the bald-headed Nick Fury had always trusted relatively.
But, ironically, it was also this Glaive who was secretly causing trouble!
Judging from the diary, it seemed that Glaive had ultimately used Nick Fury's collected DNA?
Thus, he gained the abilities of those Earth and interstellar superheroes and supervillains?
"Cosmic Hero Ability Show" was precisely what it implied.
So, why were all of the DNA samples Nick Fury had collected, those "seeds" of extraordinary abilities, used on Glaive?
And that Skrull named Gaya?
Tony knew about Gaya too. She was, without a doubt, Talos's daughter, and their relationship seemed strained.
But that wasn't the main point.
The crucial question was, why would Nick Fury use something so important on two Skrulls?
Nick Fury had been working hard for quite a while now. It couldn't be just to create two super Skrulls, could it?
[Even more outrageous, they have Thanos's powers!] [Glaive has actually become a Thanos!] [Haha, Thanos probably never imagined that after all his trouble of going from the past to the future, he'd end up like this, right?] [Not only were all his fleets wiped out, but he himself was wiped out, and the enemy didn't even spare his DNA!] [It's a failure opening the door for failure, a complete failure.]
