Fury was dead, but the matter was far from over.
The A.I.D. led by Coulson operated like a precise and efficient machine, running at full capacity.
Fury had helmed S.H.I.E.L.D. and S.W.O.R.D. for decades, burying too many hidden assets, and the A.I.D.'s powerful authority became the universal key to unlock dusty archives.
Coulson personally led the team, meticulously sifting through a massive amount of seemingly ordinary files, extracting those inconsistent fund flows, erased access records, and abnormal transfer trajectories of key personnel.
Offline Agent teams synchronously infiltrated, with a clear objective: to trace secret research Bases and project remnants related to Fury.
The investigation results exploded like deep-sea bombs within the Arbitrators' highest-level inner circle.
"Bang!" Tony slammed his fist on the sturdy alloy table, with such force that the holographic projection on the table wobbled. His face was ashen. "This madman! He's dead, but still leaves behind a mess!"
Steve frowned deeply, staring at the core report compiled by A.I.D. on the light screen, his gaze as heavy as leaden clouds before a storm.
The report was only a few pages long, yet it was as heavy as a thousand pounds:
"Human Guardian Program" - Mutant Clearance Contingency Plan: Fury secretly funded the radical scientist Bolivar Trask! Objective: Develop ultimate Sentinel robots, with the ultimate goal of exterminating Mutants!
A.I.D. has locked down several suspected research Base coordinates, but core data may have been transferred or destroyed.
"Counterattack Plan" - Alien Civilization Infiltration and Technology Theft: Fury utilized the Skrulls resources under his control to formulate an extremely dangerous infiltration plan. Skrulls spies were dispatched to transform and infiltrate known alien civilization territories (including but not limited to Kree Empire, Shi'ar Empire), to steal their cutting-edge technology, with the purpose of "an eye for an eye."
This plan carries immense risks and could easily trigger interstellar war! A.I.D. discovered that some infiltration operations had been activated, but the results and follow-up are unknown.
"Star Program" - Known, but far beyond expectations: Fury's deep-seated plan to establish a super-soldier force and restrictive measures against the Arbitrators, its scale and contingency plans far exceeded previous intelligence.
A.I.D. is currently screening all relevant personnel and facilities at full capacity.
"The public's anger will burn down the hard-won peace!" Tony irritably ran his hand through his hair. "How many years has it been since the Mutant situation stabilized? The understanding we and the X-Men have worked so hard to build over these years will be completely destroyed by this news! Radical Mutants will definitely seize the opportunity to cause trouble and unleash a bloody storm! And at the interstellar level... stealing Kree technology? Does Fury want to turn the Planet into a universal enemy?"
Captain America said in a deep voice, "The news must not be made public. Panic in the Mutant community, backlash from extremist factions, accountability from interstellar civilizations... any one of these could trigger a catastrophic chain reaction."
A suffocating silence filled the office.
The "legacy" Fury left behind was a powder keg capable of igniting the entire Planet.
"Tsk." An ill-timed scoff sounded.
Chen Tian, who had been nestled on the sofa, with a pure black eye mask covering his face as if napping. (He was truly asleep!)
He yawned, sat upright, and said casually, "Tony, Captain, don't worry."
Tony and Captain America's gazes focused on him.
Chen Tian pointed to the ceiling, then casually waved his hand, as if shooing away flies: "Aliens? Let them come. With me here on Planet, whoever dares to cause trouble, I'll chop off their claws."
His words were calm, yet they exuded an absolute, unquestionable dominance.
That certainty instantly dispelled most of the interstellar crisis in Tony and Captain America's hearts.
He paused, looking at the light screen where Coulson had submitted the report, "As for the others... 'Human Guardian Program'? Heh, Coulson."
"First, A.I.D.'s highest priority is to track down all personnel involved in the 'Human Guardian Program'! Especially that guy named Trask, dig him out even if you have to dig three feet deep! I want him alive, or his corpse!"
"Second, all related research Bases found, physically destroy them! All experimental data, blueprints, samples, completely erase them! Not a single trace left!"
"Third, regarding the 'Counterattack Plan', let Carol come. We gave her a chance, and the Skrulls were also saved by her, so it's even simpler. Expel them to other Planets. The Universe is so vast, I don't believe there are no Planets where Skrulls can survive. Why must they be on Planet? Also, immediately terminate any infiltration operations that have been activated or prepared! All stolen technological data, seal them in place, and await further processing instructions."
"I'll lend you a few members of my combat team, Vergil, and Shadow, they can help you deal with troublesome matters."
Chen Tian's orders were clear, ruthless, and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
"As for these two plans," he sneered, "do they exist? No archives, no records. Fury? A dead man can take all the blame."
His gaze swept over Tony and Captain America: "What do you think?"
Tony and Captain America exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of relief and decisiveness in each other's eyes.
Although Chen Tian's plan was domineering, it was currently the only way to quickly stop the losses and prevent the Planet from collapsing both internally and externally at the same time.
"Yes!" Tony said decisively, "A.I.D. full authority, full cooperation! Intelligence, logistics, action teams, Stark Industries will provide full support!"
Captain America also nodded heavily: "My team is on standby at all times to assist with investigations, arrests, and clean-ups!"
"Very good." Chen Tian leaned back into the sofa contentedly, as if the sharp-edged commander from just now was merely an illusion.
"Get to work, Coulson." His lazy voice came from under the eye mask, "Let Fury's 'legacy' rot in the Dark Dimension forever."
The office door slid open silently, and Coulson's figure had already disappeared.
The A.I.D., this massive intelligence machine, roared into the depths of the shadows the moment the highest order was issued, beginning a silent hunt and cleanup.
Fury's death was just the beginning of the storm. And the Arbitrators were using the most iron-blooded and efficient methods to nip this storm in the bud.
Coulson's A.I.D. was at full throttle, with maximum authority, and the global database was their hunting ground!
Those hidden assets, encrypted files, and secret accounts that Fury had hidden were like a piece of paper in front of A.I.D.
Intelligence reports poured in like snowflakes.
"Action!" Captain America gave the order, and the team moved out!
"Human Guardian Program" Clearance Battle:
Coordinates: Underground of an abandoned industrial zone.
Captain America punched open the alloy gate, Vibranium shield leading the way!
Falcon provided aerial suppression, Cyclops's crimson beams precisely cut, instantly paralyzing the Base's defenses!
Spider-Man swung in with his webs, webbing faces, precisely taking down panicked researchers and guards!
Trask? Gone! Core data urgently destroyed? No matter! A.I.D. locked onto several backup strongholds, and the team immediately relocated!
Coordinates: Deep mountain research institute.
The alarm blared!
The Sentinel prototype just started, its metallic sheen dazzling! Boom! A blade light split the research institute's dome! Vergil descended like a White God of Death, Yamato unsheathed! Swish swish swish!
Third-generation Sentinel? Cut in half with one stroke! The alloy armor was like paper! The wreckage fell, sparking with electricity.
Shadow stood on the ruins with his arms crossed, his Reincarnation Eye swept over, and the guards' eyes became hollow, dropping their weapons, waiting to be bound in place! Researchers? Their legs went soft, tie them up!
Bolivar Trask?
Trying to run?
A.I.D.'s intelligence network had already locked down all exits! He just showed up at the private airport, looked up, and saw Captain America's shield and Spider-Man's upside-down smiling face! Despair! Arrested!
"Counterattack Plan" Termination Order:
Skrulls extremist secret stronghold?
Carol Danvers arrived! Her face as cold as the absolute Zero of deep space!
When she received Chen Tian's message, she still had some doubts, were these people being coerced?
But then she saw the scene—stored Kree Empire star charts, stolen data being transmitted, and the extremist leader Talos's fanatical shouting, "For the glory of the Skrull Empire!" and his eyes!
Voluntary! They were all voluntarily cooperating with Fury to cause trouble!
"You betrayed my trust!" Carol was furious! Her eyes blazed with golden light! One punch! Collapsed the stronghold's outer wall!
Vergil's figure flashed, and a sharp blade light cut through the engines of the spaceship attempting to ascend and escape! The explosion illuminated half the sky!
"Get out of Planet!" Carol's voice echoed through the sky.
The moderates trembled. Carol suppressed her anger, and using her experience of rescuing people throughout the Universe, she quickly found the coordinates of a barren but habitable Planet in deep space.
"Go! Either rebuild your home there, or..." Carol's golden eyes remained unextinguished, her meaning clear.
How could the moderates dare to talk nonsense? They immediately packed up!
Vergil's cold gaze swept over, ensuring no extremists were mixed in. Space jump initiated! The last batch of Skrulls completely disappeared outside Planet's atmosphere!
The stolen data left behind? Shadow with one look, Uchiha's Fire instantly turned it into ashes!
Net closure! Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
A.I.D. intelligence guidance, Captain America's team was incredibly efficient!
With Vergil and Shadow taking action, the target was as good as dead!
Carol cleaned up the mess left by the Skrulls, cleanly and efficiently!
All executors, scientists, and armed individuals involved in the two plans were either handcuffed and taken away, or vanished into thin air under Vergil's blade light and Shadow's genjutsu!
Resist? You wish! Sentinels were dismantled like toys, Skrulls spaceships exploded like fireworks!
The mines carefully laid by Fury were violently cleared by the Arbitrators, uprooted! Global media? Calm and quiet! As if these two disastrous incidents that could ignite interstellar conflict never existed!
Only the mountain of "cleared" reports piled on Coulson's desk silently proclaimed how quickly and thoroughly this storm had been quelled!
Tony looked at the real-time battle report, taking a sip of coffee: "Tsk, highly efficient."
On the sofa next to him, Chen Tian shifted into a more comfortable position, and even breathing sounds came from under his eye mask.
For him, this was merely an appetizer before a meal.
Fury's mess was violently cleaned up by the Arbitrators, and the World was calm. While Tony was drinking coffee and reading the battle report, another war, one that occurred in a dimension incomprehensible to ordinary people, had already ended even more decisively.
Chthon's lair, that dimension constructed from pure Dark Dimension magic and malevolence, was now experiencing an unprecedented apocalypse.
Time rewound to one month ago.
His other command had already been issued:
"Chthon's dimension hasn't been completely dismantled yet."
"You four, go assist the Grey Knights."
"Completely obliterate that damn place!"
The four formidable individuals who received the order had only eager, fierce glints in their eyes.
Day One: Invasion and Overwhelm!
The Grey Knights' power had long spread like a silver virus, corroding and engulfing Chthon's Dark Dimension, turning everything upside down.
Their very existence was a provocation and weakening of Chthon's authority.
Chthon was already frantic, dealing with this orderly erosion from the Warp, trying to erase this "silver stain" with a majestic tide of Dark Dimension magic.
Then, golden ki (Goku), a simple and unadorned punch (Saitama), a shotgun roaring with Hellfire (Dante), and that iconic green heavy armor with a buzzing, ready-to-fire massive energy weapon in hand (Doom) — the four Grim Reapers descended!
Chthon's Dark Dimension magic? Curses? Corruption? Mental attacks?
What a joke!
Goku's golden ki was like the Sun's true Fire, burning away impurities upon contact!
Saitama's bald head reflected light under the distorted magic glow, and all curses that fell upon him were like a gentle breeze, not even a single hair was lost! He scratched his head, a little confused: "Is that all?"
Dante, the Demon Hunter, he had no idea how many of these he had experienced!
Rebellion was casually swung, and the pitch-black curse energy was scattered like cheap paint. He even had the leisure to whistle: "Where's the music? This background sound effect is too bad!"
Doom? The Doom Slayer's will was tougher than a star, and mental attacks crashed against his will's barrier without even a spark! The BFG-9000's muzzle had already locked onto the densest patch of darkness deep within the dimension, and energy readings were skyrocketing!
The four Grim Reapers, plus the already entrenched Grey Knights, five forces instantly formed an overwhelming advantage!
The Dark Dimension environment, on which Chthon relied for survival, now became his prison! His proud magic, in the face of absolute power and bizarre unreasonableness, became a dud!
Day Two: Hunt!
Battle? No, it was a one-sided hunt and demolition!
Goku teleported and flashed, his Impact carrying the power to shatter stars, each strike making Chthon's dimension tremble!
Saitama's punches were simple and unadorned, but each one precisely struck the weak points of the dimensional structure!
Rumble! Large swathes of dark void were directly annihilated under his fists!
Dante's Demon Transformation, red demonic flames swept through, twin guns fired wildly, and Rebellion stirred up a sword qi storm. Wherever he passed, Chthon's Dependents and magical creations fell and disintegrated like harvested wheat.
Doom was at full power! Plasma guns, Rocket saturation bombardment, focusing on Chthon's condensed energy nodes and giant body!
The BFG's destructive light beam was even more like an eraser; wherever it passed, large swathes of Chthon's servants were wiped out!
The Grey Knights' power frantically corroded Chthon's origin, preventing his regeneration and escape.
Chthon? He, the God of Dark Dimension magic who once struck fear into countless dimensions, was now like a helpless target!
His avatar was blown up! His magic barrier was violently torn apart! His origin was continuously weakened! His roars were filled with shock, anger, and despair!
He tried every counterattack method, but in front of the absolute power and unreasonable "resistance" of the five Grim Reapers, it was all in vain!
Day Three: End!
The dawn of the third day (if this dimension had dawn).
Goku clasped his hands together, placing them at his waist, his gaze fixed on Chthon's core.
Saitama stood on the remains of his giant head, ignoring his final cursing wails.
Dante's Rebellion, with its crimson light of judgment, was raised high.
Doom's BFG muzzle, destructive energy compressed to the extreme, aimed at the core.
The Grey Knights' silver runic chains had already bound Chthon's last shred of resistance.
"Do it." Dante's command was simple and direct.
Boom—!!!
Rebellion struck down! The BFG's destructive light beam pierced through! Goku's Kamehameha erupted! Saitama's simple and unadorned finishing punch!
The Grey Knights' power of order erupted, like the final eraser!
Chthon's core let out a scream that transcended dimensions, filled with endless malice and unwillingness, and then—
Like a pricked balloon, it instantly exploded!
Along with his last fragments of consciousness, he was completely crushed and purified by the violent torrent of power!
The entire Dark Dimension lost its supporting core, its structure violently collapsed and disintegrated, like paper thrown into a black hole, rapidly shrinking inward and annihilating!
The source of Dark Dimension magic that once polluted countless Worlds, under pure physical and energy attacks, didn't even leave a trace.
Three days!
Only three days!
Chthon, the God of Dark Dimension magic who had resided in the multiverse and made countless mages wary, along with his dimension, was completely erased from existence by the four Grim Reapers sent by Chen Tian, plus the Grey Knights!
When the news reached the Arbitrators' headquarters, Chen Tian was sitting in a spacious office chair, playing with his handheld console, with 2B next to him reviewing documents. He mumbled, "It's resolved, good job." Then he continued to focus on his handheld console.
Goku, Saitama, Doom, Dante, the four patted the dust of nothingness from their bodies (though there was nothing there), and stepped on the collapsing dimensional fragments, easily returning.
For them, this job was just a simple warm-up.
