Chapter 80 - 80

However, despite the complaints and the initial feeling of absurdity, Nick Fury immediately began to seriously analyze the possibility of such an incredible event.

After all, Nick Fury was no ordinary person.

As the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he had witnessed countless supernatural events and dealt with many extraordinary individuals.

Werewolves, Vampires, Witches, sorcerers, and other incredible beings that were unbelievable to ordinary people were nothing new to Nick Fury.

Naturally, he had a much higher acceptance level than the average person for something like a living person being frozen in the Arctic Ocean for seventy years without dying.

So, could a super soldier, modified by the Super Serum, really possess such tenacious vitality?

Could he truly survive seventy years without food or water and still not die?

Nick Fury could not come up with a specific answer to this question.

Because even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s understanding of the Super Serum was extremely limited.

That's right, not only was the Military trying to replicate the Super Serum, but S.H.I.E.L.D. was also secretly doing the same thing.

With Nick Fury's personality, how could he miss such an opportunity?

It was just very unfortunate.

Even seventy years later, when technology had fully developed beyond the World War II era, advancing by countless levels.

Yet, that product born in the "old era" still had no one able to uncover its mysterious veil to this day.

Including S.H.I.E.L.D.!

So, that's right, even someone of Nick Fury's status and position had extremely limited knowledge of the Super Serum and Captain America.

And it was precisely because of this.

Nick Fury couldn't make an accurate judgment about Captain America's "hibernation" until now, as described in the diary.

However, this was not difficult for Nick Fury.

At worst, he would send a team to the Arctic Ocean to search for him personally!

Up to this point, although Nick Fury still didn't quite believe the diary, considering the continuous and accurate "predictions" of many highly secretive matters mentioned in it.

Nick Fury couldn't completely ignore some of the information on it.

And it just so happened that this was also an opportunity to verify whether this diary was truly credible.

A faint light flickered in Nick Fury's single eye, and he made this decision with great pleasure.

"No way?"

"That 'old guy' is actually lying in the ice and snow?"

"Waiting to be dug out?"

Inside the luxurious Villa, Tony Stark exclaimed in disbelief.

Before, when the diary revealed that Captain America hadn't been "dug out" yet, Tony Stark had a very bold, yet equally absurd, conjecture.

Captain America had been lying in the ice and snow for seventy years without dying!

It was just that this conjecture was too shocking, so much so that Tony Stark himself couldn't believe it.

And now.

The Playboy's almost insane conjecture had actually been confirmed.

That guy, Captain America, had actually been lying in the ice and snow for seventy years.

So, the Captain America mentioned in the diary all along was actually the Captain America everyone knew.

And not someone else who had obtained the "Captain America" title.

Case closed!

The true identity of that "unidentified" Captain America was finally revealed at this moment.

"Sleeping for seventy years and not dying, that means he's almost a hundred years old now."

"If Captain America applied for the Guinness record for the longest lifespan, he would be very competitive."

Tony Stark, finally knowing the truth, couldn't help but joke.

Wait a minute!

But suddenly, a flash of inspiration went through his mind, making Tony Stark freeze.

Since Captain America, who was believed to have died seventy years ago, was still alive, what about others?

For example… the Winter Soldier!

Tony Stark felt his nerves tighten a bit.

Ever since learning that his parents had died at the hands of the Winter Soldier, the Playboy had conducted a comprehensive and in-depth investigation into this executioner.

But no matter how much he investigated, there were no clues.

The only thing he could find was that the person's face matched someone who had died seventy years ago.

But this matching result was too outrageous, so much so that Tony Stark didn't truly take it seriously.

But now Tony Stark realized that this result was not outrageous at all.

Indeed, someone believed to have died seventy years ago had survived!

There was a living example right before his eyes!

This made Tony Stark have to take such a possibility seriously:

Could the Winter Soldier really be Bucky Barnes?

"Jarvis, conduct a full investigation into Bucky Barnes, I want all his information!"

"I'm giving you the highest retrieval authority!"

Tony Stark immediately issued this command to Jarvis.

"But then again, even if they did assemble, it probably wouldn't go so smoothly."

"After all, except for Black Widow and Hawkeye, all the Avengers are incredibly skilled powerhouses, and they are all very arrogant."

"Acting alone is fine, but forming a team together? That's really difficult."

"Not to mention that they all don't respect each other, who would even put Nick Fury in their eyes and listen to Nick Fury's leadership?"

"Only Nick Fury's two subordinates!"

Nick Fury, in front of the diary, nodded in agreement.

He largely agreed with this crucial issue pointed out by Zhou Cheng, and it was indeed something that gave him a considerable headache.

As the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury naturally understood what an efficient and orderly team configuration looked like.

He could put together countless combinations for you in minutes.

But no matter how you put it together, a team composed entirely of powerhouses would never be a perfect team.

It might not even be considered a true team.

It was merely a disorganized group forcefully brought together.

If any real problems arose, it would be minor if everyone in the team just fought for themselves.

If they started bickering over some "ranking" issue, that would be truly messed up.

So, from the first day he decided to form the Avengers team, Nick Fury understood that this team needed to undergo corresponding adjustments.

But how to adjust, Nick Fury still had no clear idea.

However, there was no need to rush this matter; the team structure hadn't even been built yet, so Nick Fury had plenty of time to slowly resolve this issue.

"It was indeed like this in my memory."

"When Loki attacked the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base and stole the Tesseract, Nick Fury immediately assembled the Avengers."

"But what were the Avengers doing at first? Gathering together, arguing and blaming each other!"

"Stark looked down on Captain America, and Captain America also looked down on Stark; these two must have been sworn enemies in a past life, always disliking each other."

"Thor, as a God, found these Earthlings, these mortals, very ridiculous."

"Bruce Banner only wanted to do scientific research and didn't want to participate in anything else."

"The scene was truly lively."

"If Coulson hadn't been killed by Loki, the Avengers would not have truly united and cooperated sincerely."

"Loki?"

"That Loki from the Asgardian?"

Nick Fury's brows furrowed slightly.

This was also a famous entity:

The God of Mischief, or God of Trickery, the God of Deception, and even the God of Fire among the Asgardian.

Of course.

According to the diary, the Asgardian were not just well-known myths and legends, but truly existed.

Even Thor, the God of Thunder among the Asgardian, would join the Avengers in the future, becoming one of the three giants of the Avengers.

And this Loki was Thor's uncle.

Oh, no, according to the diary, Loki and Thor's relationship had changed.

He was no longer Thor's uncle, but Thor's brother.

And this Loki, who had a brother who became an Avenger, would actually invade S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future?

And steal S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Tesseract?

The Tesseract was also mentioned earlier in the diary, saying that Nick Fury secretly researched weapons based on the Tesseract, and it seemed that he eventually succeeded in his research.

Of course, the secret weapon research had not yet happened, so Nick Fury couldn't comment on it.

But Satan knew that the Tesseract was stored at S.H.I.E.L.D., which was already undisputed.

How outrageous.

That Satan really knew a lot of secrets!

It had to be said that this feeling was truly very unpleasant.

But for now, Nick Fury temporarily couldn't bother with this matter; anyway, Satan already knew so many secrets.

At this moment, Nick Fury once again focused his attention on the latest spoiler.

If what was written in the diary was true, then why would Loki steal the Tesseract?

Furthermore, why would Loki even know that the Tesseract was at S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Nick Fury already knew that the Tesseract was of alien origin.

He also knew that it contained an extremely vast amount of energy and could be considered an energy source.

But beyond that, S.H.I.E.L.D. truly hadn't figured out what the Tesseract was all about.

However, it now seemed that since even the Asgardian were trying to snatch it, the Tesseract must indeed be an extraordinary item.

Even in the Universe!

It seemed that he had underestimated the extraordinary nature of the Tesseract before.

And after a moment of reflection, Nick Fury's gaze shifted to another important piece of information.

Coulson was killed by Loki!

The diary had mentioned before that Coulson's death was one of the "famous scenes" of the Battle of New York.

Nick Fury hadn't expected that Coulson would actually die at Loki's hands.

In that case, Loki was also a participant in the New York Battle.

And looking at the context, only after Coulson's death did the Avengers unite and cooperate sincerely to fight the common enemy.

So, that common enemy should be Loki, right?

So, was the New York Battle a war between the Avengers and Loki?

Although merely based on Loki stealing the Tesseract and killing Coulson, it was not enough to support such a conclusion.

But in any case, this was a plausible theory that fit all the currently known information and all the puzzle pieces.

The only question was, if Loki was the final boss, was he a bit too strong?

After all, Loki's brother, Thor, was an Avenger.

As the older brother, Thor needed to team up with the other Avengers to fight his younger brother?

Although the older brother isn't necessarily stronger than the younger brother, in myths and legends, Thor was indeed stronger than Loki.

However, due to the lack of necessary supporting information, Nick Fury couldn't analyze any definite conclusions about what exactly happened.

"It was precisely because they fought side by side in the New York Battle that the Avengers, who were originally a disorganized group, truly coalesced into a team."

"And it was precisely because of this war that the Avengers truly emerged and became known to the entire World."

"Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, and so on, all became national idols."

"Earth also truly gained the power and means to deal with various extraordinary threats."

"From this perspective, Loki could be considered to have done a good deed."

"It's Loki!"

"It really is him!"

A sharp glint flashed in Nick Fury's single eye.

If Loki being the boss of the New York Battle was just Nick Fury's speculation before.

But this spoiler provided a clear answer.

Although it didn't explicitly state, "Loki initiated the New York Battle."

But looking at the description between the lines and the relationship between the preceding and succeeding text, there was no longer any doubt.

Loki was the big boss of the New York Battle!

"So, the New York Battle was a war initiated by Loki to seize the Tesseract?"

Black Widow, who was almost at S.H.I.E.L.D., finally understood.

As one of the two earliest diary holders, Black Widow was very concerned about the New York Battle.

No other reason, the diary clearly stated that this was a "super war" that would happen soon.

A super war with Gods participating and nuclear bombs being used!

Black Widow urgently wanted to figure out what was going on.

But the specific information revealed in the diary was too scarce, limiting the conclusions Black Widow could draw.

Now.

She could finally piece together such a crucial piece of information.

However, at the same time, another question made Black Widow even more puzzled:

What exactly was the Tesseract?

It would actually make a God willing to launch a war to seize it?

Could S.H.I.E.L.D. truly safeguard such a thing?

This was a super ticking time bomb!

Black Widow felt that it was time for S.H.I.E.L.D. to make some changes in its attitude towards the Tesseract!

But for now.

Since Director Fury also had the diary, it seemed that she didn't need to worry about this matter anymore.

Thinking of this, Black Widow's foot on the accelerator instinctively pressed down with a bit more force.
