Unless I get paid!
"That's right!"
"It's the Hydra you're imagining!"
Seeing Tony Stark shocked, I decided to continue explaining.
"Did you think that Hydra was completely defeated and eradicated in World War II?"
"Heh heh!"
"Naive!"
"Speaking of Hydra, one cannot help but mention the three top powers in the current universe!"
"Of course, you're still too far from these things, you don't need to know!"
"Hmm, if you really want to know, then exchange it for a price!"
"As long as you can afford a sufficient price, this information will no longer be a secret to you!"
Qi Jun showed his foxy, oh no! Harmonious! Friendly! smile to a Tony Stark who was even more shocked to the point of horror.
Truly, pay-to-win omniscient!
But Tony Stark, at this moment, was truly shocked to the point of horror!
What did he hear? The three top powers in the universe?
In the universe!
Top powers!
And there are three of them!
Tony Stark, who had only ever speculated about extraterrestrial life, was instantly horrified!
There really are aliens!
"The establishment of the Hydra organization was originally just a group of Inhumans who formed an underground organization to welcome back their leader who had been exiled to another planet."
"[Because it's the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here, it follows the setting of Hydra in 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.']"
"This goes back thousands of years!"
"The Kree Empire, one of the three major cosmic powers, was stretched thin by war and planned to conduct biological weapon experiments on various low-level life planets."
"Unfortunately, Earth was one of them."
"Through experiments, a race was created on Earth where everyone possessed superpowers—the Inhumans!"
"To facilitate management and control, the Kree created an Inhuman leader—Hive."
"And Hive was a parasitic collective that looked like an octopus with nine tentacles!"
"Later, some things happened, and Hive was exiled to another planet, but you don't need to know about that."
Qi Jun paid no attention to Tony Stark's inquisitive gaze and continued to speak on his own.
"To welcome back their leader, Hydra created this initial organization and used Hive's physical form as their organizational symbol."
"This is the origin of Hydra!"
"And after thousands of years of development, even an ancient organization like Hydra has had its ups and downs."
"To prevent complete annihilation, Hydra directly divided itself into several branches internally!"
"The 'Red Skull' who failed in World War II was actually just one of the larger branches!"
"Otherwise, do you think the phrase 'cut off one head, and two more shall take its place' was just said casually?"
Chapter 58 Qi Jun's Malicious Fun
"Furthermore, due to the development of the times, Hydra has infiltrated all aspects of various industries!"
"In fact, I can tell you this!"
"Even in your Stark Industries, who knows how many people secretly have the identity of Hydra!"
Qi Jun's schadenfreude made Tony Stark grit his teeth in anger.
Unfortunately, Tony Stark couldn't beat him! Even if he put on his Mark armor, he still couldn't beat him!
"Don't be ridiculous, do you really want to catch these hidden Hydra members?"
Seeing Tony Stark deep in thought, seemingly wanting to use Jarvis to catch those employees with Hydra identities and bring them to justice, Qi Jun was speechless.
If Hydra were that easy to catch, would they have survived until now?
One could even say that as long as the Hydra organization doesn't court its own destruction, it will outlive any other organization!
During World War II, if it weren't for the German leader's brutal methods, coupled with the ruthless actions of the Hydra branch led by Red Skull, how could they have become the losing side despite the power they controlled?! (Only in the context of Marvel World War II)
"Shouldn't it be?"
"Don't you know what a terrifying organization Hydra is?"
"My corporation has been infiltrated, why can't I remove them?"
Seeing Qi Jun's schadenfreude, and with his own industrial group involved, Tony Stark could no longer hold back.
He glared at Qi Jun's face, as if Qi Jun would learn why flowers are so red if he didn't give a satisfactory answer.
"Heh heh~"
Qi Jun didn't mind these things and directly analyzed it for Tony Stark:
"First, there aren't many true high-ranking Hydra members, and they wouldn't infiltrate your corporation; the military and political circles of various countries are their targets!"
"Secondly, due to the development of the times, the Hydra organization is no longer a monolithic entity internally!"
"I know of a Hydra branch that has been dedicated to welcoming back their 'God' since ancient times."
"But other branches have long had their own different ideologies."
"There are branches that are content with the status quo, controlling the state power they hold."
