After successfully thwarting Obadiah's conspiracy and acquiring shares in Stark Industries, Eren did not revel in his brief victory.
He knew that a greater crisis was hidden behind this seemingly calm World.
After leaving Stark Industries, Eren immediately returned to S.H.I.E.L.D..
Director Nick Fury was sitting in his dimly lit office, his one eye peering over the documents on his desk, fixed on Eren as he entered.
"Your actions against HYDRA this time have caused quite a stir," Nick Fury's voice was low and serious.
"Although you successfully sabotaged the Winter Soldier project, you also completely exposed your identity within HYDRA, making it difficult to infiltrate them again in the future."
Eren frowned slightly, then said after a moment of contemplation, "Director, the threat of HYDRA is just the tip of the iceberg.
While researching the Tesseract's energy with Susan Storm, I discovered some even more astonishing secrets, which might be closely related to the impending crisis."
Nick Fury looked up, a sharp glint flashing in his one eye, "Go on."
Eren meticulously informed Nick Fury about the Tesseract's energy resonating with the "Meteorite Star Inheritance" and his speculation that an even more powerful force might be hidden behind it.
Nick Fury remained silent for a long time after listening, and the atmosphere in the office grew increasingly heavy.
"It seems we need to closely monitor the Tesseract's movements," Nick Fury said slowly.
"However, before that, you need to handle another matter.
The situation in Sokovia is becoming increasingly tense, and the conflict between super-powered individuals and ordinary citizens is escalating.
The government is already drafting the Sokovia Accords, intending to regulate super-powered individuals."
Eren's heart stirred; he realized this might be a good opportunity to control the situation.
"Director, I have an idea.
I can use this opportunity to get involved in the drafting process of the Sokovia Accords, find a way to rewrite the agreement's content, and establish a special regulatory zone for super-powered individuals.
This way, we can both appease the government and allow super-powered individuals relatively free space for development."
Nick Fury pondered for a moment, then nodded, "You can try, but you must proceed with caution.
The Sokovia Accords involve various interests, and a slight misstep could trigger greater chaos."
After leaving S.H.I.E.L.D., Eren immediately found Susan Storm.
At this time, Susan was still immersed in the excitement of her Tesseract research.
"Susan, we might have to put the Tesseract research aside for now," Eren said.
"There's a more urgent matter in Sokovia that requires our attention."
Susan looked at him with some confusion, "Sokovia? What happened?"
Eren explained the situation with the Sokovia Accords in detail.
After listening, Susan's eyes showed concern, "If the Accords are unreasonable, it could completely escalate the conflict between super-powered individuals and the government, which is not a good thing."
"So, we have to find a way to rewrite the Accords," Eren said with firm determination in his eyes.
"I need your help; with your wisdom and connections, you can certainly play an important role in this process."
Susan nodded slightly, "Alright, I'll go with you.
But we need to come up with a comprehensive plan."
After some discussion, the two formulated a preliminary plan.
They decided to first contact key figures in the Sokovia Accords drafting team and influence the direction of the Accords by demonstrating the positive impact of super-powered individuals on society.
On their way to Sokovia, Eren received another piece of news.
Loki had brought the Tesseract to Earth and caused chaos in New York.
"It seems the plan needs to be expedited," Eren thought to himself.
Upon arriving in Sokovia, Eren and Susan immediately began their actions.
Relying on their wisdom and connections, they successfully befriended several core members of the Accords drafting team.
In their discussions, Eren elaborated on the concept of establishing a special regulatory zone for super-powered individuals.
"This special zone will have strict rules and regulations; super-powered individuals must operate within the prescribed scope and accept government oversight, but at the same time, they can freely exercise their abilities and contribute to society," Eren said.
However, not everyone agreed with their idea.
Some people worried that super-powered individuals would become uncontrolled within the special zone, leading to greater danger.
Just as the discussion reached a stalemate, Susan stepped forward.
"Everyone, I'd like to show you something," Susan said, taking out a small device she and Eren had developed during their Tesseract research—a quantum stealth force field generator.
She activated the device, and a seemingly ordinary object gradually disappeared before everyone's eyes, as if entering another dimension.
"This is the result of our research; the combination of super-powered individuals and technology can create immense value, not harm," Susan said.
Everyone was shocked by this miraculous device, and they began to think more about Eren's proposal.
After a heated discussion, finally, some key figures were persuaded by Eren and Susan and agreed to include content related to the establishment of a special regulatory zone for super-powered individuals in the Sokovia Accords.
Just as Eren and Susan thought things were going smoothly, new trouble emerged.
The remnants of HYDRA learned of their actions in Sokovia and dispatched a group of assassins to eliminate them.
As night fell, the streets of Sokovia were shrouded in darkness.
Eren and Susan had just left the meeting place of the Accords drafting team when they sensed something amiss around them.
"Be careful, it's an ambush," Eren whispered to Susan.
No sooner had he spoken than a group of dark figures darted out from all directions, their blades glinting coldly in the moonlight.
Eren quickly activated the Symbiote battle suit formed by the Moyun Vine, and black vines struck at the assassins like lightning.
Susan, meanwhile, activated her quantum stealth force field, concealing her presence.
Although the assassins were well-trained, they gradually fell into a disadvantage under the combined resistance of Eren and Susan.
However, just as Eren was about to deliver the final blow to the enemy, an assassin seized the opportunity to throw a smoke bomb towards Susan's hidden position.
Smoke instantly spread, and Susan's stealth force field became temporarily unstable under the interference of the smoke.
Seeing this, the assassins immediately lunged towards Susan's direction.
"Susan!" Eren's heart tightened, and he rushed towards Susan without hesitation.
In this critical moment, could he successfully protect Susan, and how would he deal with HYDRA's subsequent retaliation?
And what impact would the chaos brought by Loki have on the entire situation?
Everything was like an undercurrent before a storm, surging beneath this seemingly calm land...
