"HYDRA actually sent the Winter Soldier to kill me?"
Before another diary, Director Fury's expression suddenly hardened, a sharp glint flashing in his one eye.
Had HYDRA become this arrogant?
He was the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
It was one thing for them to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D., but were they now planning to take down the Director himself?
Could it be that HYDRA was no longer content with being undercover and planned to come out into the open, seizing power from him?
To completely control all of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
What grand ambition, what a bold move!
He'd never heard of an organization of sleeper agents wanting to completely replace the very person they were supposed to be working under.
But this also reflected how far HYDRA's infiltration and control of S.H.I.E.L.D. had gone, to what a depraved extent.
Otherwise, how could they be so brazen?
The problem of HYDRA was truly a major headache!
But how to solve this major problem was a truly troublesome matter.
At least, Fury hadn't thought of any particularly good solutions yet.
The only thing he could do right now was to find the HYDRA agents mentioned in the diary's spoilers.
Everything else would have to be taken slowly, with a long-term plan.
The Insight Project was the same.
Although the diary made it clear that this was an important HYDRA plan, so important that even Captain America would personally intervene to stop it in the future.
But so far, the diary had only revealed a name.
Director Fury couldn't do much more than secretly investigate.
When all is said and done, Crossbones is the most formidable. He captured Captain America and even beat him up.
And strictly speaking, he was the fuse that ignited the superhero civil war and the Avengers' split!
[If it weren't for Crossbones, Scarlet Witch wouldn't have accidentally harmed civilians, and Wakanda wouldn't have publicly condemned the Avengers internationally.]
[It became the final straw that broke the camel's back of public opinion.]
[The Sokovia Accords wouldn't have been enacted! The Civil War wouldn't have broken out!]
Crossbones?
This name, or rather, this alias, immediately caught Director Fury's attention.
This was a HYDRA elite, "officially certified" by the diary, who had even managed to capture Captain America, and even beat him up?
So, was this person also a super soldier?
In almost an instant, Crossbones was deemed a significant threat by Director Fury.
It was a pity that the diary didn't reveal his actual name, like it had with Baron Strucker, otherwise, finding the person would have been much easier.
The only clue Director Fury had at the moment was the alias "Crossbones."
But could they find anything concrete based on just a nickname? Fury wasn't overly confident.
He could only try his best.
After making up his mind, Nick Fury didn't dwell on it any further, instead turning his attention to another, more crucial piece of intelligence below.
The superhero civil war, the Avengers' split, was it because of the Sokovia Accords?
So, what was this law?
First of all, the name of the law contained the place name, Sokovia.
According to some more common naming conventions, it was obvious that the law was enacted because of the events that occurred in Sokovia.
Based on the context, then it was quite clear that Scarlet Witch, well, was the "saddest" hero mentioned earlier in the diary.
Although he didn't know who this Scarlet Witch was, she could actually rewrite a small town, rewrite reality, using magic.
Undoubtedly, she was also a super-powerful individual.
The diary had also been stamped, and Scarlet Witch was still a protagonist, a superhero.
Fury was naturally very willing to bring such a person into the Avengers.
But unfortunately, it was impossible to find out who Scarlet Witch was just by the snippets mentioned in the diary.
So now, Fury could only abandon that unrealistic fantasy and continue to analyze the Sokovia Accords.
The name "Sokovia Accords" undoubtedly indicated that the incident of Scarlet Witch accidentally hurting civilians occurred in Sokovia.
And the injured were very likely Wakandans; otherwise, it wouldn't have caused Wakanda's public condemnation.
Wait a minute, Wakanda?
Nick Fury thought for a moment before recalling it.
This country, isn't it a desperately poor and backward little nation in Africa? It's even generally considered one of the poorest countries in the world, with a civilization still stuck in the "agricultural age."
Fury quickly dismissed this insignificant, third-rate country from his mind, without giving it much thought.
Instead, he continued his analysis based on his previous line of thought.
According to the information in the diary, the Sokovia Accords were enacted after Scarlet Witch accidentally injured people from Wakanda. Wakanda issued a condemnation, which ignited public outrage, leading to the law's introduction.
In other words, this law was implemented to quell public anger over superheroes accidentally harming civilians.
Therefore, it was bound to be a restrictive, suppressive, or even controlling law.
And what about those superheroes?
Each of them possessed extraordinary abilities. It seemed likely that many of them would not comply with, or would not agree with, such a law.
For example, Tony Stark, whom Fury had just contacted recently, was a man who always did as he pleased and wouldn't agree to the Accords.
But at the same time, there would definitely be some superheroes who would agree.
For example, Captain America.
As a "super soldier" who had followed orders his entire life and came from a military background, he would definitely understand this kind of law.
So, the conflict arose here.
Undoubtedly, it was precisely because of this conflict that the superhero Civil War ultimately occurred!
Understood!
As a veteran intelligence chief, Nick Fury simply sorted out his thoughts and put the matter of the Accords and the Civil War into perspective.
[But the most amazing thing is actually Fury. He's simply HYDRA's best assistant.]
[The Insight Project, which was painstakingly created, has completely become the sharpest knife in HYDRA's hands!]
[The plan to allow HYDRA to kill millions of people in one go can proceed smoothly.]
[One has to say, HYDRA is really ambitious, killing all of HYDRA's enemies and potential enemies worldwide in one fell swoop, eradicating them completely!]
[If HYDRA really succeeds, the consequences would be unimaginable.]
[Not to mention those ordinary people, anyone targeted would be doomed, and even most of the superheroes would be killed.]
[I'm afraid that apart from the likes of Hulk, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver, few can stop it, right?]
Killing millions of people at once! Tony Stark was deeply shocked.
That's right, even the playboy's arrogant and cool personality was shocked by HYDRA's terrifying and cruel plan. It's not a few, not a hundred, not even tens of thousands, but millions!
You know, the entire population of New York is less than ten million!
Are those HYDRA people insane?
No, "insane" isn't even the right word here. They're just demons! Heartless demons! But... After the shock and anger, Tony Stark also had a deep question.
How can you kill millions of people "all at once?" Emphasis on all at once! That means doing it simultaneously, or at least within a very short time frame! Weapons of mass destruction? No, no weapon of mass destruction could do something so outrageous, unless it was a nuclear bomb! But the key issue is that the diary clearly states that the Insight Project is meant to kill all of HYDRA's enemies and potential enemies.
Those people couldn't all be gathered together, waiting for HYDRA to kill them, could they? Considering who HYDRA's enemies are, it shouldn't be too related to location.
In other words, those millions of people should be scattered all over the world.
That is to say, HYDRA can use the Insight Project to kill millions of people scattered around the world all at once? How is that even possible!
From a technical standpoint, it's just not feasible.
So, what exactly is the Insight Project? The playboy fell into deep thought.
The diary also mentioned that this plan was researched by Nick Fury.
Considering that Nick Fury also used the Tesseract to research super weapons, could this thing be a super weapon he developed?
Damn Fury!
What exactly did you do!
If you can't absolutely control the weapon you research, then don't research it recklessly!
"The Insight Project, was actually created by me?"
Nick Fury was stunned, completely caught off guard, and also deeply shocked.
He had highly focused on this top-secret plan, which he thought was a HYDRA operation, but it turned out that he had created it himself?
This...
How could he, Fury, have the ability to create something that could kill tens of thousands of people at once?
Besides, there was another equally important question: why would he, Fury, create something like this?
Did his future self, or perhaps a version of himself from another parallel world, believe that S.H.I.E.L.D. needed to kill a huge number of targets at once?
Are you kidding me? They're an intelligence agency, not fighting a world war!
How could there be such a need?
"Wait a minute!"
"It's not impossible!"
Director Fury, who knew the truth about this world, quickly realized something.
He had personally experienced the war between the Skrulls and the Kree, and the diary also mentioned the invasion of the Chitauri.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. needed to kill millions of people at once, there was only one possibility.
They were going to deal with this kind of alien threat!
Fury had been preparing for this alien threat, and it seemed he had achieved great results in the future.
But what was infuriating was that such a weapon, used to counter aliens, had fallen into the hands of HYDRA!
How could this be?
With Director Fury's grasp, such an important item would surely be held tightly. How could HYDRA have stolen it?
Could it be…
Nick Fury's single eye brightened.
Could this be the assassination by the Winter Soldier mentioned in the diary?
Given Nick Fury's status, HYDRA wouldn't act this way unless it was something very important.
And if Nick Fury was fine, the Insight Project definitely wouldn't have fallen into HYDRA's hands!
Putting these two together, the logic suddenly became clear.
The only problem was, this was all Nick Fury's guess.
Whether it was really like this, only Satan knew.
Besides that, there was another extremely important question.
What did "potential enemies" mean?
They weren't enemies now, but they might pose a threat to HYDRA in the future?
HYDRA would kill even such people?
No wonder they killed millions at once!
HYDRA's actions truly knew no bottom line!
If that's the case, then Stark, who was currently boasting, wouldn't escape HYDRA's friendly greeting, even if he survived the palladium poisoning and Whiplash!
Speaking of which, Stark should really thank Captain America for making it to the final battle!
But it's hard to say.
According to the plot, Stark's palladium poisoning should be quite serious by now, right?
This wasn't the 199999 universe, who knew if Stark could solve the palladium poisoning problem.
There were many universes where Stark died in various ways, perhaps even one where he died from palladium poisoning.
"Haha, if that's true, it'd be the most pathetic way for any Iron Man to die, wouldn't it?"
"It seems Captain stopped HYDRA's plan to kill millions using the Insight Project," Black Widow couldn't help but nod in relief.
The diary mentioned the "Battle of the Insight Project," where Captain America and the Winter Soldier were involved.
And in that battle, Captain America was even beaten pretty badly by the Winter Soldier! At the time, Black Widow was worried if a crazy plan like the Insight Project was actually stopped.
Now, Black Widow finally felt relieved.
Captain America was worthy of his name, as reliable and dependable as ever.
He ultimately crushed and dismantled HYDRA's plot once more.
Saved millions of people.
"The palladium poisoning is severe?"
Tony Stark's lips couldn't help but curl into a proud smile.
Hmph!
Zhou Cheng, you were utterly wrong this time! Look at how confidently you spoke. I, Tony, just won't follow your script, won't follow your "plot"!
Big Tony's palladium poisoning was cured a long time ago!
Of course, curing his own palladium poisoning was entirely due to the diary's spoilers. A playboy wouldn't bring up such things at this moment.
"It's just a pity that I can't see Zhou Cheng's expression when he learns this news."
Thinking of this, Tony Stark couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little regretful and deflated.
