The first thing everyone did next was, without a doubt, share the new round of quiz information with Thor.
Thor was somewhat dumbfounded after listening.
"Loki is also participating in the quiz?" He looked at everyone present with great surprise.
Thor was just as surprised as everyone else, clearly not expecting Loki to participate in the quiz.
But then, a look of joy couldn't help but appear on Thor's face.
Since Loki was also participating, it meant he hadn't been mistaken about Loki all along. After all, up until now, the quiz system hadn't pulled in a single bad person.
This was very telling.
"I knew it! I knew we misunderstood Loki! I knew Loki was good at heart!"
And when Thor heard everyone tell him about Loki's performance in the image from the Q&A system, he was even more pleased, slapping his thigh with delight.
Loki was still a good kid!
Nothing could make him happier than this news.
But soon Thor couldn't laugh anymore, because the following news was more explosive than the last.
Traveling through time and space to steal the Tesseract, the Aether could not be destroyed, Loki was killed by Thanos, and the Tesseract actually contained an Infinity Stone, and so on.
It took Thor quite a while to digest all of this.
"Let's talk about Loki first, what should we do?"
After the information sharing was complete, Nick Fury glanced at everyone with his one good eye, finally landing on Thor as he asked.
"I'm very sorry that Loki has caused you all such trouble, but I need to take Loki back to Asgard and hand him over to my father."
"I can assure you that Loki will pay for everything he has done and will be punished accordingly."
Thor immediately spoke, addressing everyone.
"Thor, I hope you keep a close eye on Loki from now on," Captain America said heavily to Thor, not raising any objections.
"That's right, Thor. Fortunately, we were well-prepared this time and didn't let Loki cause any major trouble, or it would have been a problem for all of us," Nick Fury also said to Thor with a serious expression.
Regarding Thor taking Loki back to Asgard, no one present raised any objections.
Loki was, after all, a god, and also Thor's brother. Furthermore, he was captured as soon as he arrived on Earth, before he could cause any major trouble.
Naturally, Thor was going to take it back.
There was nothing to discuss about that.
What really needed serious discussion were the other two crucial items: the Scepter and the Tesseract.
"Everyone..."
Speaking of this matter, Thor spoke to everyone first, "This time I came to Earth, besides taking Loki away, I also need to take the Tesseract back with me."
"The Tesseract was originally from Asgard. My father had placed it on Earth many years ago. The Tesseract has been fine for many years, but now, it's clear that Thanos has his eyes on the Tesseract."
"So I need to take the Tesseract back. Earth does not have the power to preserve the Tesseract. Leaving the Tesseract on Earth will only bring disaster to Earth."
"Because in the eyes of many interstellar forces, Earth's use of the Tesseract's power means it's ready to wage interstellar war!"
"Besides, we also need to use the Tesseract to repair the damaged Bifrost Bridge. Otherwise, our Asgardian army won't be able to maintain order in the Nine Realms, and they will fall into endless war and chaos."
In addition to the Tesseract, the issue of the Scepter's ownership was also brought up.
Everyone present fell into an extremely heated discussion.
The result of the discussion was consistent with the original development: Thor would take the Tesseract back to Asgard, while the Scepter would remain on Earth.
Although Nick Fury didn't want to let go of either item, there was nothing he could do.
Considering all aspects, it was indeed more appropriate to hand the Tesseract over to Thor.
However, keeping the Scepter was still a gain.
Following the "gem allocation" issue, the next very important question was the prevention of the "global zombie crisis."
Since there was so little information about the relevant clues, everyone could only cast a wide net for preventative measures, and couldn't think of any other better methods.
The only comfort was that Nick Fury had just received the reward of the Sky Eye system, which brought great help to everyone in monitoring global biochemical research institutions.
"Stark, I need your help."
Following that, Nick Fury said to Tony Stark with a serious expression.
Even with the Sky Eye system, he didn't have enough manpower to monitor global biochemical research institutions.
Considering the current infiltration of Hydra, the director actually didn't have many people he could safely use.
In addition, he still had a lot of things to deal with.
Whether it was dealing with Hydra, or secretly training and equipping a special forces team to deal with extraterrestrial crises, as well as the production and development of corresponding weapons, and so on and so forth.
Nick Fury was truly stretched thin, barely keeping up.
"No problem, I can develop a Jarvis 2.0 version for you, specifically to interface with your Eye of Heaven system. It can monitor global bio-institutions around the clock."
Tony Stark was always ready to help in these situations, agreeing almost without hesitation.
Jarvis 2.0 combined with the Eye of Heaven system; it was now foolproof. Any movement from similar bio-institutions around the world would be under Nick Fury's control.
This was quite a powerful measure.
Following the global biohazard crisis, the third issue everyone was concerned about was how to combat Hydra.
This had been a difficult, seemingly impossible problem for Nick Fury, Captain America, and the others. However, there was now a turning point.
Because Hydra had thoroughly angered Tony Stark, he had begun to fight against Hydra in earnest.
"Nick Fury, you should have quite a few videos related to Pierce, right?" Tony Stark looked at Nick Fury with certainty. "Send all the videos over to me later."
This was only natural; Nick Fury had been using surveillance drones to monitor Pierce for quite some time.
"With those videos, the T-1000 can analyze Pierce's behavior patterns and then make a precise imitation. When the time is right, we'll replace Pierce!"
This matter was happily settled.
Replacing Hydra's top leader with one of their own was a significant step, playing a crucial role in dismantling Hydra.
Not to mention, once the T-1000 took office, would Hydra still have any secrets from Nick Fury and the others?
Next were other matters.
Such as Helen Cho, who had used the Regeneration Cradle to print Vision, Baron Strucker, the Scarlet Witch siblings, and that abandoned building that connected to the dark world during the convergence of the Nine Realms...
And so on and so forth.
After everything was settled, the afternoon had already passed.
The Avengers had a meal together, and then everyone went their separate ways.
Loki and the Tesseract were taken back to Asgard by Thor. Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and others remained at the base for the time being, discussing further details on dealing with Hydra with Nick Fury.
Tony Stark, on the other hand, returned to Stark Tower.
"Sir, welcome back!"
Jarvis was always so attentive and enthusiastic, immediately greeting Tony Stark as soon as he entered the house.
"Jarvis, create a digital model based on this blueprint."
Tony Stark wasted no time, immediately taking out the USB drive he had received from the system, connecting it to the network, and instructing Jarvis.
Jarvis immediately scanned the blueprint, and soon, digital projections of one part after another appeared in front of Tony Stark.
Finally, it assembled into a complete suit of armor.
"Sir, this is a brand new suit of armor blueprint. You've made quite a bit of progress again," Jarvis said, a little surprised.
"Jarvis, start arranging for production," Tony Stark ordered without turning around, as he studied the digital projections.
By now, Tony Stark had 100% trust in the answering system. Therefore, he skipped all the processes like verifying blueprints and producing prototypes, going straight to production.
Understanding the blueprints, on the other hand, could be done slowly.
Mark 42 was also a Mark series armor. Tony Stark had long been familiar with the main design ideas. Some innovative modules were also not difficult for Tony Stark, and he quickly grasped all the knowledge on the blueprints.
"A tiny adjustment, but it can achieve unexpected results. What a brilliant idea," Tony Stark couldn't help but nod repeatedly, extremely satisfied with himself.
Only he could do something like this, using a small amount of effort to achieve a large result.
"Jarvis, run a check on this person."
After shutting down the Mark 42's digital projection, Tony Stark took out the drawing of Helen Cho that Black Widow had made.
Compared to the Mark 42, what really piqued Tony Stark's interest right now was the Regeneration Cradle technology.
The reason was simple: the Regeneration Cradle technology was the key to printing Vision!
For Tony Stark, he now had Vibranium, the Scepter, and the system wasn't a problem, he could even use Jarvis directly.
He was just one Regeneration Cradle away from Vision's birth.
That's right, even after seeing the images and knowing that he would create a terrible and dangerous madman like Ultron in the future, Tony Stark still had similar thoughts.
That was just Tony Stark's nature.
In the original story, Ultron caused a huge mess, beating the Avengers like dogs. However, whenever the opportunity arose, Tony Stark still unhesitatingly persuaded Dr. Banner to continue creating another "perfect version" of Ultron.
That is, Vision.
So now, with just a piece of video, before anything had even happened, how could it possibly change Tony Stark's mind? In fact, for Tony Stark, this only made him more determined to create Vision, because he already had two living examples for reference! What was there to hesitate about?
"Found her, Helen Cho. She's a Korean-American scientist, an expert in biological genetics research. Sir, when did you become interested in life science?"
Jarvis quickly followed the information provided by Tony Stark and found Helen Cho.
"A few hours ago," Tony Stark replied casually, then began to browse Helen Cho's information.
"Regeneration Cradle, that's it!"
Soon, Tony Stark's eyes lit up, he had found the key thing to print Vision.
Regeneration Cradle.
"Jarvis, give me all the data on the Regeneration Cradle, activate the highest level of search permissions!" Tony Stark immediately gave Jarvis this order.
Jarvis, of course, carried it out without question.
Over the next period, Tony Stark was incredibly busy. There was no need to mention producing the Mark armor, as it was based on mature blueprints and didn't require much of his attention.
However, researching the Regeneration Cradle and studying organic biology and other knowledge was enough to keep Tony Stark occupied.
Not to mention Nick Fury's Jarvis 2.0, the research and replication of the energy blaster. Tony Stark had originally wanted to find time to study the Scepter as well, but he was simply too busy and couldn't find the time.
He could only postpone it slightly.
It wasn't just Tony Stark; the situation was similar for all the members of the "Quiz Takers Alliance."
Alexander Pierce's video had already been sent to Tony Stark, and the T-1000 was ready to "transform" at any moment, just waiting for Nick Fury's signal.
Therefore, Nick Fury, Captain America, and the others had been using the Sky Eye system almost every day to monitor Pierce, gathering necessary intelligence and formulating plans.
After seven days, a glint flashed in Nick Fury's one eye: "Captain, everything is ready. Let's take this son of a bitch down!"
"Hail Hydra!"
"Hail Hydra!"
Afternoon.
The entrance to the Triskelion.
After Pierce whispered the Hydra motto to several high-ranking SHIELD officials, they silently acknowledged each other with a wave and dispersed.
"Sir!"
A special forces operative had already opened the car door and called out to Pierce.
Without any unnecessary words, Pierce waved to the other officials and got into the car with a smile.
Clang!
The car door closed, and the car slowly started moving.
Three black business cars followed closely behind, all carrying special agents dedicated to protecting Pierce's safety.
Pierce sat in the back seat, watching the scenery outside the window as it receded, lost in thought.
About half an hour later, the driver's voice broke the silence, "Sir, we're here."
Pierce nodded, got out of the car, and walked straight through the gate of a single-family villa without looking back.
The other special agents dispersed to their usual positions around the perimeter.
If anything unexpected happened, they would rush out immediately to provide armed support.
